[hot_handed]

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.]

Comments

[hot_handed]

The fuck is that supposed to mean? I wanna kill cars and tech!

It ain't as good as killing villains, but it's a good way to train.

[tadeadshi]

[He had a feeling that was a good way to direct this energy.]

I guess I'll make some phone calls. What city do they have you in?

[hot_handed]

Shit

[WHY ARE YOU BEING SO HELPFUL.]

Uh... Nonah. But I can travel. Hate this creepyass city.




Let me know if ya ever need someone murdered.

[tadeadshi]

Probably never, but I'll keep it in mind.

Nonah.. All right! I'll make some calls.

[hot_handed]

You serious?

But I haven't done nothing for you.

[tadeadshi]

Yes, I'm serious. I wouldn't offer if I wasn't.

And you don't have to? I like helping people.

[hot_handed]

No. I refuse to be in your debt.

What's your favorite food?

[tadeadshi]

There's no debt.

[hot_handed]

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TELL ME!!!

OR I'LL MAKE YOU A GRENADE!!!

[tadeadshi]

Could do that myself, and there's no debt! I like helping people for the sake of helping. I don't do it with expectation of anything in return.

[hot_handed]

...my grenades are better.





Fine. Bastard.

[tadeadshi]

How about this: tell me about your quirk?

You said you get to 'blow up some cars' so it's gotta be explosive right?

[hot_handed]

My classmates didn't tell you?

How about I show ya?

[tadeadshi]

[Even if he didn't come from a world with superheroes - his brother being the first - he got really used to the idea of them here. And got a little interested in tech specifically for them. So maybe it could be interesting.]

Sure. Show me.

[hot_handed]

Where do you wanna meet?

[tadeadshi]

[OH he thought. A video. This works too. Nonah, then...

He does actually use his power to send over a little map pin - an empty lot on the edge of town.]

Here should be fine, depending on what kind of damage you do.

[hot_handed]

Looks like a place I can really go all out.

See ya there.

[Some time later, Katsuki arrives wearing his bracers, neck shield, and mask, but he's replaced the top with a plain black tank top for now until he can re-make his summer hero costume because it's fucking hot. He looks around for Tadashi, or basically anyone who would want to hang out in an empty lot right about now.]

[tadeadshi]

[It takes Tadashi a few minutes to get there from his office. But he does get there! God, but it's hot which means he can't wear a jacket. So all his burn scars that are visible are on display. He... hates it. Not much he can do right now though.

He raises one hand to wave, an easy smile.]

Katsuki! Hey.

[Wait, should he be using honorifics? For Momo, it felt like the right thing to do but he's not sure about this kid.]

[hot_handed]

[He notices the burns, but Tadashi did say he died. Scars aren't uncommon in his profession, anyway, so he doesn't even blink.]

That's Lord Explosion Murder!

[He grins, punching his fists together.]

[tadeadshi]

[He gives a low whistle, one hand in his pocket while the other helps balance a shoulder bag - looks very business professional - taking note of Bakugou's Everything.]

Quite a name.

[He reaches into his bag and grabs his tablet to hold in one hand as it turns on.]

All right, let's see what you can do.

[hot_handed]

Don't blink, Tech Guy.

[Yes, that's what Katsuki is going to mostly call Tadashi from now on. He runs a few yards away so that Tadashi is out of range of his more visually impressive explosions.]

DIE!!!!

[He fires off, going airborne, soaring in the sky like a haphazard missile. His body spins with each explosion, creating a cloud of smoke and dust. He starts to descend, still using his explosions, building up to unleash a ground-shaking, ear-piercing explosion, that leaves a cloud of fire and earth in its wake. He waits for the smoke to clear and he stands there with a few scratches and dust, but otherwise like nothing happened.]

So?

[tadeadshi]

[He holds his tablet, letting it record and autofocus and adjust as he wants it. So jsut.... Explosions. That's all the kid is, huh? Agility is good, knowing how to move out of danger of his own ability is good, but... Hm.]

It's interesting. And I think I know the right team that needs your skill.

[hot_handed]

['Interesting?' Katsuki steels his jaw and folds his arms. Whatever, he's used to his quirk not being the best or most impressive by now. But it's how you use it that counts.

And he has another one, but... How the hell is he supposed to use it?]

They ain't shitty, are they?

[tadeadshi]

Not bad at all.

If you're from [Shit, do they know him as Toshinori? Better to go with one of the classmates]Yaoyorozu's class, then I'm sure there's a process for how it works?

[hot_handed]

Which one's Yaoyorozu again...? [He just knows her as 'ponytail'. He nods and flexes his hand.]

Sweat glands in my hand produce something like nitroglycerin. I can ignite it-

[He does so, creating a much smaller explosion. Small enough to hold in his hand.]

Control how powerful it is, and sweat more...but it's harder to do when it's cold.
