"Uraraka?"

"That's meeee!" Uraraka replied way too excitedly. "I caught Mudman off guard and was able to overpower him!"

Bakugo looked at the unconscious body. "How?" And looked back at her, then realized something was off. "Wait..."

She tilted her head. "What?"

Bakugo walked towards her and stood tall. "Stand up straight."

Uraraka knew what he was talking about, and straightened her back with a smile, facing him.

"How the hell.." His voice raised. "Are you almost as tall as me!?"

She giggled. "A growth spurt perhaps?"

His eyes were white with anger. "Hell no! You were
4 '9 this morning!"

"I'm 5 '1 and a half!!"

He snorted. "'And a half'? What are you, 12?"

She puffed out her cheeks, and he rolled his eyes.

"Well, did you find anyone else?"

"Yeah, Kendo was here earlier but..."

"Kendo, get outta here."

"What?" Kendo asked.

"I'll take care of Uravity, but this may take longer than we hope. You will have to go and find classmates to help. I'll come and join you after I take care of this one."

"... And then I threw him." She scratched the back of her head. "It was honestly easier than I thought. I guess he just works better in a group."

Bakugo arched his eyebrows. "So, you've been alone? I mean... you didn't find anyone else to work with?"

"Before you?" Uraraka shook her head. "No."

He didn't really know what to say after that. She didn't look sad that she was alone, nor did she seem bothered by it.

"Well, in that case," He turned around and began walking, motion her to follow him. "Come on."

Uraraka's face was blank for a minute, before changing to a warm smile. She was going to comment on how humble he was, but she had a feeling he'd change his mind. "Okay! But wait a minute-!" She picked up the unconscious body and put his arm around her shoulder. "We should get him to the captured area."

"Hah? Why not just leave him here?"

"Well, it'd be easier on him and Recovery girl if we did the hard part for them. And who knows? If we leave him here, one of his classmates could come back and wake him up!"

She's got a point... "Fine then. Let's get this over with."

"Hey Bakugo?"

"What?"

"Do you even know where we're going?"

"Of course I do!" Bakugo replied. "I remember the layout of Ground Beta from last time. At least to the entrance that is."

Uraraka's eyes bugged out and her mouth dropped. "You remembered the LAYOUT!? That's weird..."

"What do you mean it's weird!? It's perfectly reasonable to remember!"
