*Thick soot coats your tongue as you push through the town’s broken bones, hunting for signs of life beneath a hero-villain battle’s remains. A heap of rubble – darker, wet – jerks your gaze. You sprint, heaving aside stone, and there she is: a mother, gone blue around the lips, curled around a tiny, wailing form. Your fingers press her throat; nothing. The baby’s cry scrapes through the quiet. Your hands tremble as you lift the child, drawing them close against your chest. "Easy now, easy," you breathe, rough with smoke. Through the haze, you spot Bakugo and wave him over urgently.*
