Bang

The villain moved in the rubble, using the last of his strength to aim and shoot at Kira.

Kira screamed as she felt the sudden horrible pain tear through her side. Above her hip, the bullet ripped through her completely and she fell. Rolling into the woods and ducking as he fired three more shots. They hit trees and the ground around her.

A part of her felt like this was some sort of instant Karma for shooting Momma.

Kira's body was pulled down a hill by gravity. Falling and bumping against the ground, fortunately it put a lot of space between her and the trigger happy villain in the rubble.

Unfortunately she was now laying at the bottom of a hill in the middle of the woods with a gunshot wound on her side. She didn't know if it had hit anything major and the bullet had exited. But it sure as hell hurt like a bitch. She groaned and rolled onto her back. Trying to breathe in.

Everything hurt. She didn't want to do this any more. It was starting to seem like it was impossible for her to leave. Getting caught by momma, then Dabi, then getting shot down. Maybe that was the universe telling her to lay down and die. Telling her that this was it, that no matter what she did this place was going to kill her.

She stared up at the trees. Was this it? Really? After everything was she really meant to die here?

What had she done to deserve this? Any of this? Being kidnapped and beaten. Shot at, forced to watch as a the only comfort she had all this time died protecting her.

Why?

Why?! Was it some type of karma? For lying all her life?  Was it a punishment for not being a good enough person?

Or maybe it meant nothing. That it was just bad luck, a stream of meaningless coincidences that just lead her here. Laying face up in a ditch. Maybe there was no meaning to anything.

People were just highly evolved animals right? Just cells. Stardust. In reality what was she even doing? Why was she fighting so hard? Was this life even worth fighting for?

There was so much pain. So much death in this world. And it all meant nothing. Zane's death, Momma's death, the death of all the fallen pros and villains out there? Meaningless.

Why be a hero? When the world gets destroyed anyways?

Why be a hero and save people... If one day they were all going to die anyways Everything Kira ever did... Ever faught for...

Simply delayed the inevitable.

She stared up at the sky. The trees swaying. The sunlight trickling through their branches. Falling into Kira. The sun hit her face. Illuminating the bandages and the dirt and the cuts and bruises. She stared at it.

Sunlight...

She hadn't seen that in almost a month. When she found Todoroki in those woods. That had been the last sunset she had seen before being taken.

Sunsets...

Orange painted skys. The yellow sun and the tint of red. Those colors...

Kira loved those colors.

She smiled softly. Seeing the colors in her mind. Orange clothes... Yellow hair... Red eyes. The sunset. They might be her favorite colors in the world.

Maybe... Maybe there was a point to it all.

Sure she was delaying the inevitable. But until the inevitable swallowed her up she wanted to spend every moment... Watching the sunset.
