Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 10: Locked up

"Doesn't make me feel any better." Kaminari mumbled knowing that feeling all too well. But it still felt odd hearing someone else mentioning that thinking he was the only one who could feel the intensity and fear of his own quirk at times. While someone like Luck just seemed to enjoy it rather than focus on the dangers of it.

Sensing Kaminaris hesitance Zuko proceeded to speak. "What I'm saying is, that even though I don't know where you guys are from. An electric type bender such as yourself could be pretty powerful Kaminari and is very rare to come by here. Not a lot of people get that. I haven't even mastered that myself yet...nor do I think I ever will."

"Thanks Zuko." Kaminari smiled down at the bracelet. "I'll keep working on it."

"You better." Bakugo grumbled. "I don't plan on staying here any longer than we have to."

"Oh come on dude we were having a moment here!" Kaminari wailed.

After a couple of hours had gone by Bakugo glanced sideways when he heard the ongoing snoring coming from their cell pretty sure at least these guys were fast asleep, and from what he could tell the others in the other cell as well.

Scuffing his boots against the dirt covered ground and looking forward at the opposite wall, Bakugo gave another quick peek from the corner of his eye to make sure the guys were still sleeping before walking over to the wall connecting the two cells, with his hands deep inside his pockets and began to quietly listening in on the light snoring on the other side.

Jolting her head up right every so often to fight the exhaustion, Uraraka could feel her heavy eyes desperately trying to close. Right as she was about to relinquish to the much-needed rest, she heard a familiar yet quiet voice not too far way from her.

"Round- face?"

She knew who was calling out to her and was surprised to hear the usual gruff loud voice of Bakugos sounding so quiet, unsure, and hesitant, which was completely different from what she was used to.

"Uraraka?" He tried again, intently listening to any respond to let him know she was still awake. "You still up?" When he didn't hear anything in return he lowly scoffed as he finally sat himself down with his arms resting on his knee. "If you're there...I just wanted to let you know that I didn't mean for you to hear that earlier."

Silently listening to him she let her eyes drop at his words, deciding that it would be best to make him believe she wasn't awake otherwise she wasn't sure if she could disguise the hurt in her voice.

"Actually, I didn't mean to say any of that." He briefly pressed his lips together glaring at his boots. "Seems like all I've been doing since we left UA was fuck up time after time when all I really want to say is..." When someone's snoring briefly caught his attention he waited another second before shaking his head and continuing. "Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm sorry."

"For what?" Uraraka's soft voice could be heard from behind him.

"Jeez round face you could've told said something sooner, you know." He scowled.

"And miss the opportunity to hear you apologizing? Never."

He could hear the teasing in her voice which made him somewhat relax and release the breath he didn't know he was holding as he leaned back lowly chuckling to himself. "How was it?"

"Think it could've been better."

"Is that so?" he smirked when he heard her reply. "And what would you have me do?"

"Well..." Thinking it over she glanced over at the wall with a small smile. "Groveling should do it, although I would find it pointless since you're all the way over there so that defeats the purpose of me seeing it."
