Before And After ||BNHA Kiribaku||

Chapter 21- Cotton

—————

Somehow, Bakugo ended up getting thrown into a couch surrounded by all his ex-classmates to participate in a meeting called, 'E. Kirishima Case Meeting (minus Bakugo).'

"Wait wait," Midoriya mumbled, pointing at the words in parenthesis. "Scratch that part out."

"What the fùck is this?!" Bakugo shouted, getting into an upright position on the couch. "I don't have time for any of your shít!"

"But it's important," Sero said. "We promise!"

"Yeah!" Ashido agreed. "It'll only take like... a minute to say our pitch."

Bakugo grew more impatient. "Don't wanna hear it. I'm leaving."

"Really, Katsuki?" Asui sighed. "After all the trouble Momo and Kyoka went through to bring you here?"

"I didn't ask to be brought here in the first place!" Bakugo snapped. "They basically kidnapped me!"

Todoroki shrugged. "It's for the greater good."

"Greater good?" Bakugo repeated. "What about this is for the 'greater good!?'"

"It's for Kirishima!" Shinsou slammed a hand down onto the table in front of them. "What do you think the 'E. Kirishima' part of 'E. Kirishima Case Meeting' do you think that means?"

"JUST SHUT IT!" Bakugo yelled, shooting up from the couch. "What do you want from me?!"

"Your cooperation!"

"Well sucks to be you then!"

"It's not too bad!" Kaminari said. "I mean, the meetings take a long time but that's really it."

"NOBODY ASKED YOU, DUNCE FACE!"

"Woah woah," Sero put his hands up. "No need to get angry."

"YOU WANNA DIE?" Bakugo was close to punching something or someone in the face.

"Everybody calm down!" Iida shouted. The room suddenly became quiet. "We should be getting along, not having petty fights like this! We've known each other for years."

Bakugo scoffed. "Don't tell me what to do, Four-Eyes." But it seemed to have worked.

"Sooo does that mean you're going to help us?" Hagakure asked. "We all love Kirishima, Katsuki. And we want to help him as much as you do! If we work together, we can move faster!"

"Tch, no," Bakugo said. "I'm still getting out of this hellhole."

"But Katsuki," Kaminari whined, pulling up a stack of files. "Look at this! I mean, most of us have dropped in the hero ranks because we were so busy working! Give us some credit, dude."

Sato nodded, handing Bakugo a sheet from the file. "Here. Kirishima's been giving us reports on your progress together, and we wanted to fill in some blanks. In fact, we're really close to finishing."

"Isn't it weird how they created a logo that could easily be traced back to them?" Yaoyorozu wondered. "They could've made it original."

Kaminari shrugged. "Easier for us. Maybe they wanted to keep track of all the companies or something."

"It could be plausible," Ojiro commented. "If they go out of business, or choose to sell it, they could probably edit the logo."

Asui tapped her chin. "So does that mean over the years, the logo has changed multiple times, ribbit?"

"I'm not sure about that," Iida said. "Would they really be willing to give up a company so easily, especially if it's part of an organization like that?"
