Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The only thing I'm provin'-[Punch. Ouch.] Is-

[Shit, what is this made out of?]

That you're a coward, so STOP LOOKING DOWN ON ME!!!

We had our fight.

I'm not a coward. You're just... over-reacting.

[He's regretting not bringing more equipment with him. He had come to this fairly but in many ways unprepared.]

I AIN'T OVERREACTING!!! FIGHT ME!!! PROVE YOU CAN HURT ME!!!

[Another punch. Fuck. It's like the Sports Festival all over again. He growls and starts headbutting it instead.]

Look, kid, you need to calm down first...

Why would you want to get hurt?

[Nope, still headbutting the shield. When that doesn't work he tries aiming his explosions at it.]

[There's a frustrated edge to his next words.]

Oh. My. God. Kid. Stop it!

[He glances around, arms spread out. He isn't actually sure how long this energy field can last and he can already feel it buckling under the strain.]

THEN FIGHT ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!

[He throws another explosion, and another, kicking the field at the end.]

[The shield crackles, sparks flying off of it and Beck gasps as he can feel it getting too much to hold. So he lets it disintegrate and holds up a hand in a defensive gesture now that he's fully revealed.]

I don't want to fight any more. I told you, you won.

[He's very vulnerable right now to any attack.]

I didn't win! Not until I kill you for real!

["Kill" in this context means beat, but Katsuki goes flying at Beck, wasting no time to try and kick his solar plexus.]

TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, DAMMIT! YOU COWARDLY PIECE OF SHIT!!!

[The hit lands, striking Beck's metallic plate armour. It gives him a bit of protection along with his resilience power but it definitely winds him and there's likely going to be bruising. He winces and puts a hand out again. Green energy crackles around his fingers.]

Last chance. Stop!

I did take you seriously.

YOU.

WON!

[He doesn't like this. It's beyond his control.]

STOP SAYIN' I WON!!!

[He sounds upset. Good. Katsuki is upset too. He stoops down to try and sweep Beck's legs out from underneath him.]

[As Katsuki sweeps, he'll find he hits nothing this time as Beck has launched back upward into the air. He rises higher and higher, trying to get out of the other's reach.]

STOP RUNNING!

[He blasts up, spinning with each explosion, trying to reach Beck.]

Why are you so insistent?

[He continues to swiftly maneuver in the sky, performing dramatic twists and turns as his cape whips around him.]

I TOLD YOU WHY!!!

[He shoots an explosion at Beck, but it slows him down in the process and he keeps trying to catch up.]

I gave you food! Stop attacking me!

[He thinks that's a valid argument.]

In return for a real fight!!!

It was a real fight!

YOU SAID YOU LET ME WIN!!! HOW THE HELL DOES THAT EQUATE TO A REAL FIGHT?!

When did I said I let you win? I said I didn't want to hurt you!

I'D RATHER GET HURT THAN HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF YOUR STUPID MOUTH!!!

[He pauses, hovering in mid-air, gathering green energy again. He frowns.]

I don't want to do this. You're making me do this...

[That's more like it. Katsuki grins and keeps flying at him.]

Stop whining and come at me!!!

[Seems he isn't going to stop, so Beck lets the energy blast go at him, full force. It's pretty powerful, meant to knock down much larger foes.]

Heh- [Katsuki grunts, biting back a yelp as it hits him. It burns- definitely hurts like hell, and it knocks the breath out of him, sending him back to the earth like a fallen star.]
