Birds of a Feather

Like a little Icarus

Karasu blinked weakly as she felt sunlight on her face. "What- where am I?" She saw the destruction around her as she sat up and looked around, she blinked again as she began to wake up. Then she spotted "Hawks! Tsukuyomi!" she ran to them. "What happened?" She demanded of Tokoyami, her eyes wide as she put her hand on Hawks' head carefully. He was completely unconscious.

"When I got the two of you here, they filled what emergency medical needs they could." Tokoyami answered, looking at her in shock and awe. "They were moving you from the surgical tent when a- a monster ran by."

"A monster?!" Karasu's head snapped up. "Like a- mountain made of a man?"

"You've seen him?" Tokoyami's eyes widened.

"Not in action." She thought for a moment. "Oh my god- the hospital. Shigaraki must be awake and commanding him. I have to warn them!" She stood up, stumbling slightly. Her burned hair had been twisted to a bun and pinned back for her rushed surgery, so that was already taken care of. Her suit was alright and functional, and she still had her bracelet and staff on her.

"Raven! You're still injured! They only had time to amputate and bandage the half arm Dabi burned! They only reason you're conscious and not in incapacitating pain is adrenaline!" Tokoyami stared at her in horror. "You're in no shape to go chasing after it, or flying into another battle!"

"I'm the only one faster than that brute, Tsukuyomi." Karasu shook her head. The lack of the rest of her arm was a problem for later, she decided. "I have to." Without waiting for a response, she took off into the air, her wings spreading as wide as she could spread them. Hawks had trained her specifically for speed flying now- she kept her good arm tucked against her body to keep herself streamlined, the least amount of wind resistance meant the most amount of speed. "Shoto... be safe. Please." she whispered as she flew, she put herself far enough above the giant creature that he wouldn't be able to reach up for her as she gained on- and caught up with him. Blue flames shot towards her from his disgusting back, but weren't powerful enough to reach her. That told her he was carrying Dabi, and most likely the rest of the League, on his back to Shigaraki. Below her, she saw her classmates with Class B fighting to slow him down or stop him. That would buy her even more time. She needed at least four minutes to get to the hospital location, and this fight would buy her at least that.

She couldn't pay attention to any of that- she had to go. She'd never flown this fast before, and if she didn't stay focused she'd overshoot her destination or she could crash and die. Neither would have good results for anyone.

Below her, the cities between the Headquarters and the hospital flew by- people living their lives. She wanted to stop and evacuate them, but she had to have faith that the pros and her classmates would sound the alarm while she couldn't.

Fly. Faster, faster, faster. Go! She screamed at herself in thought.

"Hey!" she screamed when she saw a few of her classmates come into view below her. She skittered when she landed on the ground, her wings still outstretched around her to give her the traction she needed to stop. "There's a giant coming. Very big. Very bad." she was panting as she told them. "At the hideout- we lost. Bad."

"What are you saying, Kara?!" Todoroki asked as her classmates rushed to her.

"Where's Endeavor?" she looked up at him. "I need to warn him. All the pros. Now. I don't have time to debate this, Ingenium!" she said before Iida could argue with her. "You all need to get the civilians out of here- Shoto. Lead me to your father."

Todoroki nodded, using his ice to travel alongside her as she flew.

"I see him. You can go back if you're needed." Karasu looked at him as they kept moving forward.
