Static

Part 2

    (Third Person P.O.V.)

    Kaminari slammed the door of Kirishima's dorm open, only to find it empty.
We're all getting together at Ground Beta to train for the finals, you should come too. That's what Midoriya said. That's where Kirishima was.
    Kaminari quickly texted Dabi to bring the league there instead, threw his phone against the wall, and trashed Kirishima's dorm in a matter of seconds.

    When he got to the grounds, he could immediately see Kirishima and Bakugou sitting on a bench, holding hands behind where they sat while Kirishima happily talked with Ashido and Sero.
Without another thought, Kaminari stormed over. He didn't bother to tone down the amount of electricity he was admitting as he practically ran over, and he really didn't care about the surprised and confused faces of his classmates.
He stopped in front of the four of them and stared at Kirishima, who seemed to react with the same confusion as everyone else. "You've never broken a promise to be before. I trusted you because of that. Because we went through everything together."
"Denks," his glance moved from Kaminari's eyes, to the electricity around him, to his classmates' confused expressions. "Are you-"
"Fight me, right now." He pointed to the now empty spot where people had been sparring with each other.
Kirishima started to stand up but Bakugou grabbed his arm. "We're in the middle of something, Dunce Face. Go away."
Kaminari just glared at him with clenched fists. "Believe me when I tell you, the great Katsuki Bakugou would be dead in a second with how I'm feeling right now. You're lucky to still be alive." Then he stormed off to the match area.
The shear tone of Kaminari's voice made Bakugou's grip loosen and Kirishima quickly slipped out.
"Wow," Asido cocked her head to the side, "you know what this is about Kiri?"
"Just, keep away from the match." Kirishima replied and ran over. Panic had begun to cover his mind. What was wrong with Denki? Why was he out flaunting his power like this? He was going to blow their cover. This was bad.
He stepped onto the platform. "Denks,"
Kirishima didn't have time to finish as Kaminari lunged at him, fists charged with electricity. He tackled him to the ground, only for Kirishima's skin to harden as he grabbed the other's wrists. The red head threw him off and stood up.
"Denki! Explain this right now!" He again glanced at the rest of Class A. "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Do I know what I'm doing?" He snapped back, "How could you ask me that when fifteen minutes ago you were making out with a fucking hero student on your bed!"
Murmurs shot around the class and both Kirishima and Bakugou turned white as ghosts.
Kaminari lunged again, with a charged kick this time. Kirishima blocked it with his hardened arm. He attacked again, and the redhead blocked again. Kirishima refused to throw a single punch until this made sense.
"How is Kaminari this powerful?" Uraraka asked, "He should have short circuited by now, right?"
Midoriya nodded, "There's also the question of how is Kirishima keeping up with the new attacks? It really looks like Kaminari is trying to hurt him, but he's been able to block every attack like it's second nature..."
"And who is Kirishima dating?" Ashido added loudly.
"Not the time!"
Despite what Midoriya had said, Kirishima was taking hits, and it hurt. The electricity was softening his hardened skin everytime it made contact. He and Kaminari hadn't spared at his full power in almost a year. He'd gotten weak towards the lightning.
The field of electricity around Kaminari had doubled in size already, making his quirk essentially useless. The power suddenly began to surge and Kirishima's body went lax. He stumbled backward onto the ground, his legs and arms numb from the shock.
Kaminari pounced on him, pinning the redhead down with hands around his neck. The sensation of his hands were tingly and uncomfortable, but it wasn't painful. Yet.
Kirishima knew if his friend increased the voltage, he would be dead in seconds. He struggled, both to find a way out, or just to speak. Kaminari wasn't talking, he just stared down at his friend with a blank face and swirling eyes. His anger had dissipated into fear once again.
He slowly started talking again, quietly. No one else but Kirishima could hear. "Neither of us wanted to come here in the first place, remember Ei? UA was a place infested with stupid heroes and stupid rules." His grip tightened. "We had promised each other. We'd get it over with. Fall UA. Throw society into a little chaos. Then we would go back to our lives with the league." Kaminari took a deep breath. "I didn't think I would ever have to hurt you. I thought we'd leave this place together. But here we are, the day villains destroy the famed UA. And I have to kill you."
"Well that's too bad."
The familiar voice immediately took both their attention. Every head turned to see purple warp gates appearing just behind the two.
Dabi stepped out, and looked around, taking in all the terrified faces of the students. "Looks like we got here just in time. Don't kill him right now."
"Yeah," Toga pranced out and straight to Kaminari's side. "Don't you want to destroy the school first?" She wrapped him in a short side hug. "Ei's not being very nice, but he'll come around. Help me get some blood!"
"Yeah...sure." Kaminari let go and stood up as the other gasped for breath.
"I- I thought we had more time." Kirishima breathed, still barely able to move.
"You thought wrong I guess," Dabi shrugged. "And good thing too. Imagine if we did this in a month later, you'd probably be-"
"Openly dating a damned hero." Kaminari cut him off. "Kurogiri, take him back to the hideout for us?"
A warp gate formed underneath a stunned Kirishima and the wide eyed redhead sank through and disappeared.
"Now," Kaminari turned around, all the electricity formally in the air was now concentrated into his hands. His gaze moved across class a, falling on a certain short tempered blonde. "Time for revenge."
