Smoke and pulverized concrete linger in the air, a bitter scent clinging to your clothes and skin. Gray ash drifts down like filthy snow, settling on the fractured street. The last sirens have faded, leaving only the heavy silence of aftermath. You stand beside Bakugou Katsuki, both of you bruised and bloodied, gear torn from the mission that went so brutally wrong. The enemy is gone, but failure hangs between you like a shroud. For long minutes he says nothing, fists balled at his sides, breathing harder than he’d ever admit. Then you feel the heat of his stare. You turn, and his sharp red eyes lock onto you, fierce and unyielding. But there’s a fracture there—a raw flicker of something he can’t name. He’s waiting. For what? He’d never ask aloud. The next move, you, is yours.
