CHAPTER START---
"DAD!" Law screams, suddenly appearing in the operating room of their clinic.
Kiku struggles to breathe as he holds her in his arms, rushing to place her on the operating table. Leaving his mask on, Hawks's blood drying and sticking the cotton to his face, ignored, he flicks his wrist and a scalpel appears in his hand.
Tearing off her top he sees dozens of stab wounds, tunnels made by feathers flying straight through her and exiting her back.
"Fuck!" he gets to work immediately.
A minute later Corazon barges into the room, the clinic thankfully already closed for the day allowing them to have privacy.
The man freezes at what he sees, his wife on the operating table, an oxygen mask on her face, struggling to keep her eyes open. Thankfully Law's quirk allows him to perform painless operations.
He sees Law with a blood-stained mask, carefully but quickly operating on his mother, both hands in her chest cavity.
"Crap," Corazon rushes to put on some gloves and join his son at the table, the slow and steady beeping of her heart monitor feels like sirens in his ears. "What hap---"
His question halts as they both freeze, Law carefully removes one of Hawks's feathers and lifts it up, it still subtly shakes as he holds it between them.
They both share a knowing look before his father speaks, "you need to get out of here, I'll keep her stable."
"NO!" Law argues, tossing the feather aside and delving back into the surgery. "If I leave she'll die, he destroyed her organs."
"L---" Corazon stops himself, knowing Hawks's could likely hear them with that feather, "son, you need to go."
"No, just focus on saving her!"
"G-go," Kiku forces herself to speak, her eyes meeting Law's for a moment before she begins to pass out, her heart rate quickly plummeting.
"Fuck!" Law makes a fist with each hand, leaving his thumbs sticking out, and placed them atop her chest, "Counter Shock."
His hands spark.
"Ah!" she jolts back awake, heart rate returning as he generated a current with his hands to act as a defibrillator.
"Booster Shot!" he gives her another dose of blue healing energy before he continues operating, paying his dad no mind.
Looking between his son and wife Corazon flattens his lips, knowing exactly how stubborn the boy would be.
"Fine," the man grits out. "You focus on her, I'm making sure you can at least get out of this clean," he rushes out of the room, pulling the Antibacterial Curtains shut behind him and following their plan.
All he had to do was make sure they couldn't track Law, because they all knew that the heroes can't actually hold him in custody.
Eyes flickering back to his mother as she passes out, heart rate erratic, Law keeps muttering to himself.
"I'll fix this, I'll fix this, I'll fix this..." Over and over for nearly an hour, before the sirens start approaching.
Law feels his mind becoming more and more exhausted by the second, he doesn't react when someone busts open the front door, turning the wood into splinters.
The feather at the side of the room rushes through the curtains, but he continues operating on his mother.
He hears his father yelling, three gunshots, then a body hitting the floor.
His quirk allowed him to know what was going on, his father was fine, but none of his shots had hit, not surprising for a non-combatant.
When the curtains are ripped open he sees Hawks staring at him with hate-filled eyes. His entire chest is bloodied, one arm across his chest while the other holds a feather sword. His red feather wings kept him off the ground to ease the pressure on his chest.
"Surrender, now!" Hawks demands.
Law's eyes focus on Hawks for a moment, seeing the sweat on the hero's face and the way he was careful with his injury, the venom in his glare, and most importantly, all the feathers already surrounding him and his mother.
Law returns his focus to his mother, and continues operating, "if I stop she dies," was all he said.
"She's already dead," Hawks insisted, "I put her damn organs in a blender, it'd take a miracle to save her, and you killed my friend! So get on the ground, now!"
"I can heal her, I am a miracle, just need time," Law says flatly.
Hawks takes a more aggressive stance, feathers angling themselves to cut Law into pieces.
Law ignores him, unwilling to ever leave his mother to die, so he continues operating.
"Fine," Hawks mutters, telepathically instructing his feathers to attack.
Two feathers tear into Law's legs, trying to make him kneel.
"Mmm!" he groans, but his arms and hands stay steady, his legs through sheer will remain standing, refusing to stop working on his mother.
"Fine, " Hawks says, "but you asked for this."
One long feather rockets directly to Law's neck, nearly piercing the skin before it stops, and through it all, he continues operating.
"WHAT?!" Hawks screams, holding his earpiece, he obeyed the order to stop his attack but couldn't understand why. "What the hell could you ever need him for?" he growls out.
Law listens in on the conversation, at least on Hawks's side, but doesn't stop operating, doesn't even bother to move the feather from his neck.
Hawks grits his teeth and is seething at the sight of Law, "this monster killed Chrome and you want me to wait?!"
"---"
"Who's to say he won't just warp away, we won't get this chance again!" Hawks argues.
"---"
"You can't be serious? You expect him to honor that?"
"---"
"Fine! But if he gets away this is on your head Nezu, this entire trap was yours anyway," Hawks grumbles.
Law notices the feathers returning to Hawks's wings, the steady beep of Kiku's heart monitor is the only sound in the room for almost a minute.
"She's your mom?" Hawks asks.
"Yes," Law answers surprisingly quickly.
Hawks sighs, "can't believe I'm saying this, you can finish working on her if you agree to come with me afterward, and we'll keep you up to date on her status, we just want to ask you a few questions."
"Deal," Law doesn't even hesitate, not with how much is at stake.
---Task Force Control Unit...
Within a nearby apartment, Nezu -A 90cm or 3ft tall white bear mouse with a scar across his right eye, wearing a pristine three-piece suit- sits at a computer desk. Through Hawks's body camera he's been seeing and hearing everything since the beginning of this operation.
He's now more thankful than ever that aside from the security posted outside only three pros knew about this operation, keeping it as insulated as possible was the key to catching Arsenal.
Looking at the three computer screens in front of him he sees Law still steadily working on saving Arsenal, and on a separate camera, he sees The Heart Thief -Corazon- being loaded into an armored truck outside.
Picking up his phone from the desk he looks at the time, nearly nine pm, yet he doesn't even hesitate to make the call.
It only rings once before a pleasant voice answers him, "Nezu? What's going on, I'm about to make a big drug bust."
"This is more important than that Naomasa, " Nezu says. "I'm sending you an audio recording, use your Lie Detector Quirk, if it's legit then get over here immediately to cover for me, I'll need to go see President Pantu..."
"Huh? What's this about?" Naomasa Tsukauchi asks, now much more concerned, especially if Nezu would have to go see Pantu, the president of the Hero Public Safety Commission.
"I think I found our friend a doctor," Nezu hears Naomasa choke at the other end of the call.
"Send the recording," Naomasa immediately demands.
"Already sent..."
Nezu leans back in his chair, paw pads nervously tapping the desk. Even with his Quirk -High Spec- giving him, a simple bear-mouse, intelligence beyond human comprehension, capable of outpacing the most advanced supercomputers, he never expected to stumble upon such a miracle, assuming this was real.
But all the evidence points to it being real.
The constant beeping of Arsenal's heart monitor was evidence that this was a real miracle, something they'd been searching the past four years for.
'Hawks definitely shredded all her internal organs, if he can save her...maybe he can even heal All Might...' the bear-mouse dared to hope.
Feeling his phone vibrate Nezu answers before it can even start ringing, "Naomasa?"
"It's real!" Naomasa's winded voice answers back. "I'm running to my car now, send me your location then go talk to Pantu!"
"Alright," Nezu hops down from the chair and begins walking to the exit, "when you get here make sure to keep his mask on, we need all the leverage we can get..."
The current date is April 5th, 2114, 1 Year until Deku's first day at UA, and 2 months until he meets All Might.
