[A familiar face appears on the network. Bakugou is in the forests of Fayren, wearing an orange scarf and what looks to be hiking gear.]

I got sick of listening to people bitch, so I went to find those entitled royal fuckers or whatever. But wherever the hell they are, even I can't track their asses down. Guess they're SOL.

Instead I've been looking for dragons and other badass monsters.

[There's a lot to unpack here. Like... where does she even begin???

AFO is here now... She's Guardian now... She's got no money to pay rent next month. She's down one lesbian crush...

But seeing Bakugou on screen, Satou puts all of her adult worries aside and opts for childish concerns.]

YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!

[He figured it out about the Guardian shit. It's part of why he disappeared. But he's not going to bitch about defeat or humiliation. He just scowls like he saw her yesterday.]

You didn't get the note?!

[priceofmagic]

[Satou opens her mouth to yell a curse nasty---

Then freezes.

Oh yeah. That note... That she folded into an origami frog to hop around her desk, because she was stressed. Did she ever read it?

...

... It's the 21st Century! U-Use a phone next time!

[Hm... on one hand, this guy doesn't seem like the best source of information. On the other hand... he also doesn't seem like the questioning type...]

You have a group of entitled royal fuckers that have gone missing? Sounds like a good thing for everyone.

Unless those missing people are important...?

Re: Video

[hot_handed]

The hell if I know, but people wouldn't shut the fuck up about it so I decided to do something myself.

They're probably dead.

[chikapolilla]

Probably.

...

Orrr they could be that whole "disappearing" thing I got during orientation. Does this sort of thing happen a lot? And are you the only person out looking for people?

[He seems... reliable...]

[Guess who's visage will unexpectedly grace the young hothead's screen?]

My, My, to think the valuable pawn that Tomura wanted would be here as well... Hello again, Katsuki Bakugou. You do remember me, don't you?

[The others will not fall for provocations but you...]

[It's a weird feeling when your heart stops beating.

He recognizes that face because it's haunted his memories. He recognizes that voice because he hears it in his ears when he wakes from a nightmare. But the absolute worst part is the loss of control, the powerlessness, as he gazes, eyes wide at the only person he fears the most.

Of course there's Shit-araki. But he could take Shit-araki. All for One is a whole 'nother game. Even All Might couldn't take him. All Might couldn't kill him. And then All Might, All Might--

And then the rage surfaces. It's blinding, but it's familiar, it's comforting, his face twists into a scowl and he glares at the bastard with all his bloodlust and snarls.]

Where the fuck are you, you stupid mashed meatball?

[symbol_of_evil]

[From shock to obvious fear to predictable rage, how like clockwork is the youth's reactions. Yes, you shall be the weakest link among the heroes here. The puppet to dance to his tune and help sell the narrative of what the Heroes of their world are really like.]

What would you do if I told you my location? Attack me? That is not very hero-like. Also, I do hope that you haven't been bullying my pupil with your teachers' silent acquiescence.

Did you find anything cool?

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

I blew up a tomb because some bastards were holding people there. And I camped with some dragons for about a month.

[Hey sis.]

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

That sounds fun! I've got a new branch to my business now and I moved into a big house. Come visit!

[Hey bro. She missed you.]

Private video.

[sleepingbagsensei]

[The longest stare ever.]

Find any?

Private video.

[hot_handed]

[Crap.]

...The fuck do you think?

Re: Private video.

[sleepingbagsensei]

[Miss me?]

Enough to make your wrist sore. If not, I can fix that.

[No slacking!]

Meeting tonight. Don't be late. And don't you dare go after All For One.

[vociferates]

HEY.

You got any supervision for that kind of field trip, Bakugou?

[Hi. He's mostly, probably joking. but ALSO with AFO here, he's kind of keen on keeping an eye on a student who's out in the middle of nowhere.]

[sleepingbagsensei]

You volunteering?

[A beat.]

Take a picture of yourself up there.

[vociferates]

[he grimaces. he set himself up for that.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[hot_handed]

[Great. It's Present Banana.]

I don't need it. We're not at home.

[vociferates]

[excuse you that's Mr. Present Banana to you?]

No, we're not but... [he tilts his head to the side, considering. His usual manic grin isn't on his face.] Considering everything else it's PROBABLY for the best. You can show me what you've learned!

[light_of_willpower]

Seriously? What did the dragons ever do to you?

[Have a half-smirk.]

Welcome back loud-mouth.

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

They get to breathe fire. I find this fact to be irritating and bullshit.

Fuck you, Blueberry.

Re: [Video]

[light_of_willpower]

Ah, I get it. Jealousy--you wanna breathe fire too.

[Have a smirk and salute at the cursing.]

Yep, I so missed the lovely chats we had.

[You can hear the sarcasm dripping.]

[Video]

[greatestgood]

If it were that easy, don't you think others would have done it?

[Gellert snorts and taps his fingers on his desk.]

I found a dragon a few months ago.

[beautyrest]

How very noble and brave of you to seek out the royal family all on your own.
