The training ground shudders with the aftershock of another blast. Dust hangs thick in the air, pierced by slanted beams of harsh sunlight. Bakugo circles you through the haze, a feral grin slicing across his face, his brow slick with effort. The atmosphere reeks of ozone and something sweetly burnt. Then your own power snags—a violent, clumsy misfire that sends a shockwave of pain up your nerves. Your vision tunnels. You clutch your head, the world tilting on its axis. Across from you, his grin vanishes. The petty detonations in his palms snuff out. He freezes mid-step. "Explain." The word is low, a blade drawn slowly. "you. What is wrong?" He takes a single, deliberate step closer, his fists clenched at his sides, his entire body coiled in waiting silence.
