84: 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔!
"No!-" Kira argued.
"WE KIDNAPPED ENDEAVOR'S WIFE!!! OH MY GOD I AM SOOOO DEAD!" Hawks said, panicking again.
"IT'S NOT KIDNAPPING!!!" Kira rolled her eyes. "She's perfectly happy to be here, right Rei?"
The woman nodded. "It's much better than back there... With the monster and everything."
Kira pointed at her. "See!! That's consent! Besides he basically kidnapped her in the first place."
"Just explain what the hell is going on NOW." Hawks demanded.
"Okay so listen." Kira cleared her throat, ready to go into a full explanation of everything that was going on.
That was until they got rear-ended.
"AW FUCK!!" Hawks cursed. Speeding up again. A car was behind them and following behind it was the Nomu. Running full speed again, right behind the car.
Kira narrowed her eyes at it. Why did it stop in the first place?
Behind the wheel of the car was a rugged man with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Kira didn't recognize him but he seemed to be willing to kill her. Beside him was another lanky man with a device next to his mouth that he was speaking into.
"TURN LEFT!!! THEN MAKE ANOTHER RIGHT!!" Kira yelled at Hawks who did as she asked. Roughly drifting around corners.
"All those years playing Mario kart are sure paying off."
"MARIO KART?!" Kira asked. "Don't you have any car chase experience?!"
"I FLY KIRA!!! I FLY!!!" Hawks yelled back. "IT'S MY THING! IT'S WHAT I DO!!! I don't drive!!! DRIVING IS FOR NORMAL PEOPLE!!!"
"AH!!" Kira and everyone else in the car screamed as the Nomu caught up with them. Ramming into the side of the car with its shoulder. Even though it was the size of a slightly above average human, it still seemed to have the strength of a truck.
The car started to spin out and Hawks whipped it around completely. It faced the Nomu and other car head on.
He punched the gas again and hit the Nomu before swerving and heading back down the road they came from.
Kira was suddenly very glad Rei had buckled her up previously. Because if she hadn't Kira would have probably flown out the window already.
"WHERE ARE WE GOING?!" Kira yelled. That's all they could do right now. Her heart pounded in her chest as she braced herself against her car door.
"I DON'T KNOW!!!" Hawks yelled back. "Speed, I am speed."
Thanks to Hawk's quick maneuvering the other car had to perform a three point turn. Which took just enough time to give Hawks the lead. The Nomu pulled itself up from the concrete they had flattened him too and started to bound after them again. Staying close to the car.
"I got it!" Kira whispered.
"WHAT?!" Hawks and Rei asked at the same time.
"The Nomu is being controlled by the men in the car... That's why it stopped, if it Gets out of range it shuts down and waits for a new command." Kira whispered.
"Which means if we take out or lose the car we lose the Nomu." Hawks mumbled.
"In theory." Kira whispered. "Just keep driving." She unbuckled and shifted in the car.
"No you should sit down." Rei advised.
"Just drive steady Hawks. Oh yeah if anyone asks after all this is done..." Kira pressed the button to open the sunroof. "All this was done with your permission, I would hate to have my license suspended again."
Kira stood up and stuck her head out of the car.
You know in the movies we're the wind tosses their hair and the protagonist can move freely while sticking most of their body out of the window of a car? How it's romanticized and thought to be simple?
Well the movies are wrong. It wasn't like that.
Kira felt like she had been slammed in the back once she was exposed to the force of traveling nearly ninety miles per hour. Like she was riding a roller coaster backwards. She didn't have control of her body and her hair invaded her eyes and mouth as she tried to suck in a breath. But it felt like she was in a vacuum.
It would be worse if she was facing forward, but she wasn't. She was facing the car behind her.
Her grip was iron around the gun. She couldn't let it be snatched away. The car hit a bump and her screams were lost in the wind. Something held her down. Rei wrapped her arms around Kira's legs, holding her in place.
She held the gun up, by far this was her trickiest shot.
She aimed, completely breathless. Her gun pointed at the tires of the car. It was something she'd seen in a movie or action novel. But what if a bullet wasn't actually enough to completely blow a tire?
Doesn't matter, she had to try. Her only other option was to shoot the driver. But there was no way in hell she was doing that. Powerful or not Kira wasn't the type to make killing a regular thing. She refused to be a murder. A monster. She refused to be her.
Same backstory or not, Kira would rather die than become the same monster Oshita did.
Bang
She missed. Of course she did. She had less than a year's training with a gun, most of her talent was completely natural and untaught. Meaning she was simply a lucky prodigy. She didn't have the ability to make every shot, especially not in these conditions.
The car sped around a corner and Kira ducked slightly. Trying to stay braced against the car. Rei's grip was impossibly strong, keeping her legs grounded.
She took aim again.
BANG BANG
She shot again. Twice. She saw one bury itself in the metal of the bumper. But the rubber tires still spun obediently.
The Nomu was about to be a problem too. Bounding down the road, it slowly eclipsed the vehicle. Covering it from her view, the man controlling the beast smirked.
He was using it as a shield.
Kira held the gun tightly and opened both of her eyes. Taking in a gasping breath. The monster was almost close enough to reach the back of their car now. An arm's length away from Kira.
The car suddenly jerked, drifting around a corner. Kira aimed as suddenly she had a view of the side of the car. The Nomu still in front but they both moved to turn the corner behind Kira.
Bang
POP
The car spun out at the sudden loss of traction in one of its tires. Losing the momentum of the turn and crashing into a building. Kira grit her teeth and started to pull herself into the car.
But the Nomu gave one final leap. Still close enough to the car to receive instructions. One hand clamped onto the back of the car. It's fingers crushing perfect holds into the metal. While the other reached towards Kira, it's face a hair away from her own. So close she could smell it's breath, despite being downwind from it. It let out a breathy scream and then...
It was silent.
There was no screaming. No yelling of a cheesy catch phrase or even a single noise of struggle from the hero.
The dark vigilante, Deku appeared from nowhere. Like a bullet himself, he shot through the air and aimed a punch at the Nomu. It's fingers gave way and it fell off the car into the ground.
Izuku stood over it.
If you could even call him that. The vigilante hero was dirty, covering in layers and layers of clothes. Not a bit of skin visible to Kira. His eyes a glowing green. He didn't look anything like her formal classmate.
He stood over the Nomu who seemed to finally stop. Its operater no longer able to command it. Then he turned to look at Kira as she sped away, Hawks chose not to stop until they reached their destination. Even with Deku's save they had no way to know if they were completely in the clear.
Kira was yanked down right as they drove through a tight one way tunnel. And with that... Midoriya was out of sight.
"You got lucky." Hawks whispered. "We all did."
"Who was that?" Rei asked, looking out the back window as she cradled Kira. Having been the one to pull her back in.
Kira struggled to form an answer. Sure she knew who he was. The green of his hero costume and the yellow of his gifted scarf made it obvious. But he was so... Different.
So hollow, so unlike himself. Dark and tortured. Kira hadn't heard any thoughts, their contact had been too brief. But she felt a sort of pain from him she didn't feel often.
"...I don't know."
A/N: Y'all don't know how tempting it was to end on that "Bang"...
But I didn't!! Haha! I'm a good author 🤗
Anyways this was my first time writing a car chase so... Hope it made sense!
(Deku in his angsty phase, we love to see it)
