"I... Gave you my quirk."
Kira grabbed Tammy's shoulders. "What do you mean?! You gave me 'corpse'?? Isn't that the only thing keeping you alive??" She asked in horror, shaking the emotionless girl by her shoulders.
"Now it's the only thing keeping you alive." Tammy said casually.
"Are you DUMB?!" Kira asked her in shock.
"Are you?" Tammy asked with a raised eyebrow. "Besides there's still a chance I'll survive. A slim one... About the same as yours."
"What are you guys talking about?" Hawks asked with a frown.
"My quirk corpse has the ability to keep a once dead person alive as long as they wield it." Tammy explained to him. "I passed it to Kira via my blood and One for all."
"But you need that quirk!" Kira said in frustration.
"Not necessarily. It's been years since my initial death. The injuries that killed me are healed now... It's plausible I'd be able to survive quirkless." Tammy corrected.
"How are you so casual about this?? Don't you care?!" Kira asked her with a groan.
"Course I do... You think I want to die?" Tammy said, a flicker of annoyance being her only visible emotion.
"I didn't say that-"
"What I want is for all of this to be over! I want to world to go back to the way it was! And I want to stop sitting in that stupid observation room while I watch everyone fight for my future and the world's future! I want to help." Tammy said, shoving Kira's arms off of her shoulders. "But I can't Fight Shigaraki. No one can. No one except you."
"What about Midorya?" Kira asked, she had a bad feeling the moment she thought of him. She hoped he was okay honestly... But why would Tammy resurrect her if he still had a fighting chance?
"Last I saw he was down a few limbs." Tammy said bluntly. "And your teacher was calling in reinforcements."
"What-"
"The world needs you Kira Kokoa. With this power... However long it'll last. You're the only one powerful enough to stand against him." Tammy continued, grabbing Kira's hand.
"I want you... To win."

Her
Eyes
Opened.
Kira shoot up, her interaction with the vestiges and Tammy feeling like a crazy dream. She felt the need to throw up but covered her mouth with her hand.
She couldn't throw up.
She had taken all for one's quirk by eating his hair. But it was only working through "Bloodrush". Meaning if she lost the DNA she currently had ingested... She'd lose all for one... And every quirk inside of it.
There was no way she could keep it forever. Once she lost all for one... She'd lose 'corpse'
And then...
Tammy Collapsed. Her bleeding hand was still holding onto Kira's. Her blood dripping into the hole in her palm. Her heart wasn't beating.
Kira heard the sudden "whoop" of an ambulance on the ground below them. And sudden scrambling from everyone else on the roof. There were several men she vaguely recognized. The American pilots. And then...
"KIRA?!!" Her uncle yelled in shock, tears in his eyes as he ran and stumbled over to her. "KIRA YOU'RE ALIVE?!?! HOW?!" He wrapped his arms around her, she hugged him back but kept one hand in Tammy's.
"She saved me..." Kira whispered.
"I- how- I don't care." He shook his head. "As long as you're okay."
"She needs help, you have to get her to a hospital!" Kira told him, pulling away. "Her hearts going to stop."
"Yes of course." Her uncle nodded, the Americans were already checking Tammy and lifting her up, taking to to the ambulance below. "Come on, let's go." All Might said.
"Wait!" Kira pushed away. "I'm sorry Uncle but..."
"Kira come on." All might said again.
She didn't understand what he had just gone through, he couldn't let her leave his sight. Not after that. She had been gone. He was now the happiest person on earth because she was somehow magically back. And she... She had to take that happiness from him again.
"I'm sorry... But... I have to save them."
"No!" All might said, holding her arms. "No I can't let you do that-"
"I'm not guaranteed to survive this... Even if I get to the hospital. My quirk has a limit. Once I run out of time I'll lose all for one." Kira whispered, tears running down her face. "I can't let this chance go to waste."
"Yes you can!" Her uncle begged, holding her arms tightly. "You're coming to the hospital! That's it! I'm not asking!"
"Please no. Please I can't let her get hurt again. She died and now I have another chance! I can't let her get hurt. I can't let her die. Please I'll do anything, I'll be the best uncle and the best guardian possible! I swear!"
Despite his pleading Kira felt oddly... Numb.
She didn't feel much emotion at all... She realized that... Tammy's blunt and stoic personality might be because of corpse. That she wasn't processing things the same because...
She was dead.
"Neither am I..." Kira told him. Looking at her uncle. Cursing herself for doing this to him. "I'm sorry... Forgive me, like...
I forgave you."
Kira could still feel the vestiges, probably in the same way Midoriya felt his own. Even though it wasn't real Kira almost felt like Hawks was leaning over her shoulder.
Red wings started to grow from her back and she heard him in her mind as though she was reading a thought.
"Normally if take almost a year to grow a complete set. It puts too much strain on the body, but with the energy from all these quirks and Corpse making you practically invincible... The sky's the limit."
"KIRA NO-"
Kira felt a little guilty. Leaving her uncle on the rooftop. But she looked down and saw Tammy. A pilot giving her chest compressions, manually beating her heart as paramedics burst into the roof.
"What I want is for all of this to be over! I want the world to go back to the way it was!"
"But I can't Fight Shigaraki. No one can. No one except you."
Tammy's words rang in Kira's mind. Her sacrifice. She said there was a possibility she'd survive, if she did Kira would owe the girl her life.
And If this worked... If Kira truly could defeat him...
Japan would owe her everything.
A/n: Wayy later than I usually update lol.
Also not to sound insecure or anything but I'm just wondering... Recently I've been feeling like the past few chapters or my writing in general is... Off? Idk. Like it's not hitting or satisfying to me at least. Which is a bummer because this is technically the climax of the story.
So... Is it 'author blindness?' like because I'm the one writing it just doesn't seem good enough? Or do you guys think so too?
Idk I've just been in a funk lately, don't worry though. I'm sure it'll pass
