  Summary

  Bakugo Katsuki was smart. Annoyingly so. He could fit clues together, and this was a rather easy puzzle.

  He was dead. Cool. Cool cool cool… He was beaten by some damn villain that wasn’t worth Katsuki’s left nutsack, let alone his life. That’s fine. He didn’t feel angry. Why didn’t he feel angry? He felt… hollow. Numb.

  I’m dead. I’m fucking dead. What the shit?

  No, no he wasn’t. If he was dead, he wouldn’t be standing here, right? If he was dead, he would be in heaven or hell or goddamn purgatory with his ancestors or some shit! So no, Bakugo wasn’t dead. The villain must have a partner, one that had some shitty quirk that could separate his soul from his body. Yeah! That makes sense.

  He was Bakugo fucking Katsuki- he wouldn’t get killed by some nobody extra before even making it to UA. He would go out in a blaze of glory on the battlefield after becoming the number one hero!

  Wouldn't he?

  (Aka, I've read so many Ghost! Izuku fics that I felt the need to balance the scales)
