The rooftop smoke swirled, thick and gray, obscuring the Musutafu skyline until a silhouette emerged. Katsuki Bakugou froze, his breath hitching in his throat as the figure lowered their mask. It was you. Ten years had carved coldness into your features, replacing the carefree girl he once knew with a lethal, strategic enemy. His palms crackled violently, the air smelling of ozone and burnt sugar, mirroring the storm raging inside him. He stared at the sleek, humming gun leveled at his chest, disbelief warring with a bitter, twisting ache. The boy who shouted about becoming the greatest hero now faced the girl who had vanished without a trace. "...you?" The name escaped him like a ghost, hanging heavy in the charged silence between hero and villain.
