Trigger warning: this chapter continues content that might be disturbing.
Kira was a mindreader. But that didn't mean she knew everything.
For example; until this moment she had absolutely no idea that the number two hero Hawks was currently a member of the liberation army.
No. That he was currently a spy in the Liberation army. Playing for the heroes by acting like a dirty pro. Things just got a hundred times more complicated for the both of them.
"Uh..." Hawks said, staring at her. Baffled. "Whatcha doing kid?" He asked.
'Shit.' Kira thought, her brain going a mile a minute. Every possibility. Every path. She had to figure something out. Somehow help herself without blowing his cover. "Just... Gonna take a walk outside." She shrugged.
He couldn't let her walk out though. Because if she got away because of him they'd assume he let her. That he was a traitor. So she had to fight him. Fight him and...
Let him win.
Not that she needed to let him win. She was certain she wouldn't have a chance in hell at beating him.
"....right...." Hawks said, glancing at the door behind him. "It's that UA kid. I remember her. What the hell is she doing here?!"
'Please...' Kira mentally begged. 'Please capture me. For your own good Hawks.'
"What am I supposed to do? I can't let her leave that's for sure. But I don't want to hurt her. Damn it, what if this is a trap? A loyalty test? Doesn't matter, everything is a test now."
"I don't think that's a good idea." He sighed. Pulling out a feather the size of Kira's arm. Hard like a sword. "How about we walk back..." He suggested. "To wherever it is you're running from?" He asked. Hoping to resolve this as peacefully as possible.
He made his decision. It was a good one, now it's Kira's turn. She took out her stolen Knife. She couldn't treat him like an ally. She had to fight him with the Same brutality she fought Momma and the others. It should cement his place in their ranks.
Being attacked by a mind-reading hero student? That would definitely make them believe he was a villain too right?
"No thanks. I'm good." Kira whispered. This was it. She was going to be captured. She had a good run, really gave them hell. But there was no way she was getting past Hawks.
She charged him. A suicide charge. That's what it was, a fight she knew without a fact she would not win.
"Damn it." Hawks muttered. Getting in a stance. "I'll make this quick. Hold her and track down whoever she was running away from."
'Thank you hawks.' Kira thought, slashing at him desperately. Knowing it would take him two seconds to grab her. If she marked him that would be good, fairly convincing.
She did, the blade sliced through the skin on his cheek. Just barely. He grabbed her hand and then the back of her hoodie, twisting the knife from her grip. He held her hand cuffs and her hood. Keeping her from running away.
She heard a roar and someone trampling down the hallway. Momma coming at full speed. Spinner ahead of her.
He turned the corner and stood at the end of the hallway. Staring at them.
"You guys loose something?" Hawks asked with a chuckle. "You're welcome for grabbing her."
"Hawks." Kira whispered. "Remember what you asked me?"
"Huh?" He looked down at her.
Momma tore around the corner, shoving spinner aside. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.
"I meant it... When I said it sounded like hell." Kira whispered. Momma grabbed her from hawks, the hand of her monstrous form wrapped around Kira's entire waist.
Momma tore her from him and then tossed her like a ragdoll down the hall. Kira screamed and crashed into the concrete wall. Then she hit the ground just as hard. Coughing at the pain of the blow. She heard crunching and snapping from multiple different parts of her body. Her arm was broken, probably a few ribs too.
Hawks stared in shock and horror. He figured they'd be mad at her. But this woman looked ready to kill. She ran after Kira where she laid on the floor. Crumpled oddly. She grabbed her by her shoulders and roared in Kira's face. Jaw revealing monstrous teeth.
Then she shoved Kira against the wall with one hand and pulled the other back. Kira forced her head up in horror, momma reached her clawed hand forward and ripped through the side of Kira's face with it. Scratching down the left side of her face. Over the same eye Kira had stabbed out of momma.
An eye for an eye.
Kira screamed and Momma threw her against the other wall. This time after the hit Kira's eyes didn't open. She sat there completely unconscious, blood trailing down her face.
Momma roared at her again. The woman turned beast was filled to the brim with rage. The girl had stabbed her eye out, attacked her son and then shoved a fire extinguisher in her mouth.
Momma was ready to kill.
Hawks watched it all in horror. He had expected them to just take the kid back to her cell. Maybe push her around a bit. But this... They beat her until she was unconscious. This was wrong. And Hawks couldn't do anything about it.
"How... How much of my humanity am I going to have to sacrifice... For this job?"
He had to stand by and watch as children were beaten in front of him. Children.
"I meant it... When I said it sounded like hell."
Hawks thought about what she said for a second... What was it he had asked her?-
....
"Hey you took down stain right? What's your quirk?"
"I can shoot a gun, that's all that matters."
Kira responded, covering her eyes.
He bent down, balancing on a tree Branch. "Can I guess?"
"Knock yourself out." Kira mumbled with a yawn.
"Okay um... A quirk that helps you shoot straight?!"
"No, that's lame."
"Teleportation!"
"Wouldn't I have used that in the sports festival?"
"You can see the future!"
"Why does everyone always think that?"
"Telekinesis!"
"Once again... Sports festival."
"Mind-reading!"
"...That sounds like hell."
....
He had gotten it right. All this time. That means... She might know why he's here, but she attacked him like-
Fucking of course she did. She's helping his ass, and in return he just had to watch this woman beat her. He clinched his fist, ready to step in despite the consciences. But someone else did.
"Mom!" Zane caught up to her and grabbed her giant arm. Zane, who was almost a grown man looked like a child next to the beast. "Hey! You got her!" He said, pulling her back. Or at least trying.
She didn't pay him much attention. Stepping closer to Kira. Who was limp on the ground.
"Mom! Stop that's enough! She won't run away! She's unconscious!" Zane yelled again. Stepping in front of her. The beast narrowed its eyes at him. "R-remember the plan! M-my quirk! We can't take it if she's dead!" He pleaded. He didn't often stand up to his mother. He was trying everything he could to convince her to just stop.
He didn't care about the quirk. The girl looked like she could be on the brink of death. If Momma didn't stop now she could kill her. Zane had seen it before.
Oshita stopped and looked down at him. A low growl escaping her. Then she pat him on the head with her giant hand in an almost loving manner.
"Thanks mom." He said in relief. At least he got through to her someway. "Y-you need to go get your eye checked. As soon as you turn back it'll start bleeding again."
His mom was unable to respond. She put a hand to his shoulder and carefully pushed him aside. Then reached to the ground and grabbed the back of Kira's hoodie.
Zane tensed up in fear that she was about to hurt her again. But instead his mom just turned and slowly dragged her down the hall.
Back into her cell.

Kira's supposed to be a genius. Or at very least an emotionally intelligent and self aware individual. Her quirk makes sure of that.
Taking on the entire League of villains with nothing but a pen, knife, needle and fire extinguisher isn't very intelligent. The likelihood that she would have actually gotten away was so slim it was laughable.
But Kira hadn't been trying to escape. No that was a part of a much bigger plan.
She woke up in a cold sweat, every part of her body was in pure pain. She coughed and then gagged on her own blood. She couldn't tell if the blood had been in her throat of it it had dripped in from her eye. Her eye. She slowly opened it, seeing only red. She couldn't tell if Momma had injured her actual eye or just the flesh around it. Kira guessed she's have to wait to find out.
She groaned and moved her hand. Sinking it down towards her leg. One of her arms was broken, the other felt like if she moved it too much it would just snap.
She slipped her hand into her shoe pulled something out. She had done all this just to hid ethe fact that she took it. Attacking Zane even though he wasn't the real target. She swiped it during the first attack.
It was still intact. Her plan worked.
She pulled it back up. Every movement slow and aching. She looked at the item she had just risked her life for.
A vial of blood.
