Out of Reach

I can't see.
 
I don't remember closing my eyes, but I can't see.
 
I can't quite feel it either. The rain. The sand. The wind that was howling, or even the tornado that appeared.
 
Oh right. I was hit by a tornado.
 
I think I'd laugh if I could move my face. Oh, no, that's wrong. Something there hurts. Tingles and feels like something broke. Probably did from that actually. Didn't know my cheekbone bent that way.
 
Ha. How pathetic. Some hero I'm turning out to be. Second time in the field and the last thing I remember is being throw halfway across the desert. Wonder if I hit that mountain? Nah. My wings would probably be all sorts of busted up from that. Might not feel them, but I can feel what's broken at least, and those ain't it. Well... not entirely at least.
 
Come on. Get up you stupid body. For all you've done for me, the least you could do is pretend to work.
 
Not that it seems to be helping.
 
First out the plane, booyah. Big achievement there! Congrats. Really showed them who's boss didn't you? I mean, how long was it till they had to tell you what to do? Twenty seconds? Thirty? Slow down! Don't leave the group. Think tactically. Stay together. Good thing they were around to set you straight huh?
 
That's not helpful right now, just focus on getting up-
 
Ah, right, like the rest of it was helpful! Honestly, the hell did you think you were doing? The star child got caught up in some mystical field of garbage, and what did you do? Ah, I'll save you! Run on up and try to pull them out, that will do the trick! You're just lucky you were anxious enough to not go through with it. So congrats there! You're inability to act just meant you didn't add to a problem.
 
Her name is Ghost, not star child. And besides, this isn't worth-
 
Oh, and like they are gonna bother remembering your name? Sunbeam? Give me a break! Do they even think of you as that, or just Daisy, the unfortunate tagalong. Even the chic just threw you a rope and told you to fix up the situation while they went out to do the real work. Drag your precious Ghost on out, and you know what? You know how that turned out.
 
They didn't even fucking need you to do that! Just focused and bam! Out of there. So being the big yellow baby-
 
Shut up! Body. MOVE. This isn't going-
 
-that you are, you just shot off an attack at the statue. Like the boulder before it had done anything good. Literally summoned a tornado that was wrecking shop! But NoOoOo you just had to double down on godawful tornados. Didn't even do much more than rattle it's scales. And it's made of stone! Can't even rattle it's scales! You know what did have an impact though?
 
Freaking star child. Blew the thing to bits while you were still recovering. Some rescuer you were. Didn't need your help to escape, didn't need your help to break it down, and about a million times faster than you.
 
I couldn't fly okay?! The winds were ripping at my wings, and I couldn't get any air under them for long enough to do more than gliding hops! What do you want from me?!
 
Better! Better than just running under under those winds! Better than just trying to head towards the mountain top! Did you even have a plan if you were gonna reach there? No! You were just hoping everything would turn out fine and dandy in the end! Don't worry, the real hero's will be on the job. You can just sit back and pretend.
 
I KNOW! How do you think I feel about this huh? You think I want to be a useless waste of flesh?!
 
I AM HOW YOU FEEL! And you damn well ain't doing anything about it! Just sulking and getting angry. Like that will fix anything. Pathetic.
 
Get up.
