"What the hell was that?!" Bakugou coughed. Kirishima had basically tackled him out of the way.
A cool wind blew by as the clouds dissolved around them. Bakugou coughed a few more times. Blood pooling at the edge of his mouth.
"Bakugou... Are you okay?" Kirishima asked, helping him up. "You don't look so good." His friend said with a concerned expression. He hadn't heard what happened to Bakugou, that he had literally flatlined earlier. But he could see the massive wound in his chest.
"Doesn't matter." Bakugou coughed. Standing up. "I won't stop until this is over... One way or another."
"Okay fine just hold on. Let me help you man." Kirishima said, supporting Bakugou by holding up his weight. "I'm... I'm sorry." He whispered. His red hair had fallen. Even Ejiro who was normally so.... Positive looked broken down. "Is she... Is Kira really..."
Tears ran down his face as he held his friend up. Bakugou was almost limp. Gritting his teeth and leaning forward. Tears falling onto the ground. "...yes." he whispered. "I saw her... She was..." He stopped talking. A sob escaping his throat instead of words.
Kirishima trembled.
"Th-the last she knew... I was dead. She... She died thinking I was dead." Bakugou whispered. "What if... If I had recovered faster... If she had seen me... She wouldn't have done it. I know she wouldn't have." He sobbed.
"Bakugou it's not your fault..." Kirishima shifted his hold. Wrapping both arms around his friend to comfort not just him... But himself as well. "It's... It's not your fault..." Kirishima cried as hard as bakugou did. "Damn it!" He said with anger through grit teeth.
The crowd around them was quickly dispersing. All running to where the fight was shifting. Running to see who had come to aid them. Bakugou hadn't seen the figure with the red wings. If he did he probably would have assumed it was Hawks like most everyone else.
It made sense. The number two hero somehow rises up to finish the fight. Possibly unlocking a feature of his quirk he never knew before. Becoming strong enough to fight the biggest villain ever seen.
But no.
"KIRISHIMA!!! BAKUGOU!!!"
Mina shoved her way through the crowd. Pushing through them as they ran towards the fight. She couldn't believe it, not after what she just heard. But after seeing the two fighters she knew she couldn't be wrong about who she saw.
"BAKUGOU!!!" She screamed shoving Kirishima away and grabbing onto the other boy's shoulders desperately.
"The hell-" Bakugou looked up at Mina. Who was panting and crying. Weirdly only half of her face was pink, and one of her eyes now had an average white sclera.
"It's Kira!!" Mina told him.
"Shut up." Bakugou snapped, shrugging her hands off.
"No! She's here Bakugou! She has these crazy wings and she's glowing and-"
"That's impossible!" Bakugou said, eyes wide.
"Glowing?" Kirishima tilted his head, wiping his eyes. "You mean... The person that flew in-"
"She died! I saw her. I felt her. You don't understand-"
"No you don't understand!! I saw her I know I did!" Mina argued. Grabbed his hand. There were a few explosions going on in the background as someone fought. "Come on!" Mina said stubbornly. Dragging Bakugou through the crowd. Shoving everyone out of her way.
"It's impossible..." Momo whispered as Mina pulled him towards the edge her and Kaminari stood at. She held her hand over her mouth in shock.
Bakugou pushed past her and looked over. Right as someone shot into the air. Sound waves traveling towards them. Giant wings flapped to keep balance, sending gusts of wind through Bakugou's hair.
He stared at her. Frozen. The golden light Infront of him... Was Kira. The eyes, the hair, the hero costume. Even though it was in tatters it was undeniably hers. Still ripped in the same ways as when he saw her.
When he saw her dead.
But here she was. Bathed in an ethereal light, looking so beautiful. Like a star had fallen from the sky, bathed in gold a sheathed in the wings of angels.
Kira... his Kira. Was alive by some miracle and she was... Fighting.
He saw her head turn just slightly. Looking up directly at him. As through drawn by his awe. Their eyes locked. Hers we're a pool of glowing red. Like magma or fire. Like a two twin blood moons or the brightest color of a sunset.
"KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME KIRA KOKOA!!!" Her opponent screamed at her, shattering the blades she used to pierce him. They matched the ones that had almost pierced Bakugou.
Though... The blades looked better in the hands of the person that had stolen his heart.
It was beating again... Just for her.
Kira didn't look back at Shigaraki immediately. Her eyes locked on him. As though she wasn't in the heat of battle. As though she didn't care about anything but him. They were each other's world.
"Told you." Mina whispered, seeming to be in as much awe as Bakugou. She let go of him and stared with him. At her friend. She had been so scared and devastated when Bakugou told them all she was dead. She was happy to find he was wrong. She didn't know how the mistake was made, she was almost mad at him for telling her that. But she knew he must've believed it himself.
"How... Is she glowing?" Kirishima asked.
"I can't believe that's the question you're asking right now." Mina whispered to him. Grabbing his hand without much thought.
Momo put a hand to her ear as her communication device sparked up. She was one of the few heroes that still had one unbroken. "Creati hello? Are you there?" Detective Naomasa asked her. He sounded panicked.
"Yes sir." Momo said.
"What's going on we've lost visual? Can you see Kira Kokoa?"
Momo blinked at the question. "Well... Yes sir I believe so."
"Okay okay." She could hear him rely this information to someone else in the room. "Is she alive?"
"...Yes sir. She's... She's fighting all for one." Momo whispered. Still in shock.
"Damn it of course she is..." He sounded... Conflicted. He just got the news, the rundown of the story from All Might's perspective. He couldn't help but be terrified for her, she was in danger. He knew that. More dangerous than everyone realized.
Naomosa knew how Tammy's quirk worked. How Tammy had somehow transferred it to Kira in order to save her. How his intern was now being rushed to a hospital because she gave up her life source.
And now the person she gave it to was back in the most dangerous fight possible.
But he couldn't intervene could he? He couldn't try to pull her from the fight could he? He wanted to but... She was the best chance the world had right now...
"Sir?" Momo asked in confusion.
"Nothing. Listen I don't know if you've heard or not but a half hour ago she was completely dead. Then another student... 'Tammy' gave her a quirk that's allowing her to operate like she's still alive."
"A resurrection quirk?" Momo asked in confusion, looking over at her classmates. Mina and Kirishima were paying attention to her side of the conversation. Bakugou had his eyes glued on Kira still.
"Yes. She's using Bloodrush and copy to hold onto all of them. Including All for one. That's how she's alive but... If she loses it..."
Momo's eyes widened. "She loses everything. But- do we have any idea how long she can hold it?" She asked.
"As far as we know as long as the blood or whatever she used is in her system. We don't know if there's a time limit or not..." He explained.
"All we can do is... Wait and see."
