The sterile white lights overhead buzz with a sickening hum. Katsuki Bakugo's eyes snap open, his world a haze of pain and disorientation. Thick bandages constrict his skull. Tubes snake from his chest, hissing with every ragged breath. Then the memory detonates behind his eyes. *You.* A raw, animal panic surges through him. He tears the sensors from his skin, the sting meaningless against the driving need. He storms from the bed, boots thudding heavily on the linoleum floor. The hallway stretches before him. Classmates move to intercept, their faces masks of concern. He halts, muscles coiled, veins standing out on his neck as a guttural snarl rips from his throat. 'GET OUT OF MY WAY, EXTRAS!' His body is battered, but the storm inside him is utterly, desperately alive.
