[Bakugo has more questions about how all that happened. How long did it take humans to advance to the point of getting a space station to Jupiter? What were their capabilities when Soundwave first met them? Where were they, technologically? And so forth. But that can be saved for another time, when he's more in the mood to be a nerd without admitting he's a nerd.]
Che! I'll crush your doubt alongside your face! Avatar or not.
[Bastard. If Soundwave thinks lessening himself to a human standard will handicap him enough to be a challenge, he's going to have a lot worse on his hand! Bakugo clenches his fist shut with a cocky grin to seal the ambition. Notably he does not make an explosion, which says something because he usually would have. Given the guy's hearing issue... That mercy won't be shown WHEN they spar. But not doing it now is fine. There are other pressing matters to deal with.
No, U.A.'s robotics wouldn't be impressive to someone like Soundwave, but they are certainly useful when training future heroes to those in Bakugo's world! A world where persecution of those with Quirks is in a strange state, with urban areas seeing very little of it, rural areas still seeing a dangerous amount of it, and Quirkless people are also targets for bullying, exclusion, pity, and other unsympathetic actions.
Unfortunately, Quirk is more a name for the ability itself, rather than for the person wielding it, so it's not going anywhere. But Quirkless is more in line with the Outlier label, something Bakugo had personal experience with. That's a private matter.]
Damn. But you can eliminate interfering noise when you want to, right? [Even if it takes effort. Bakugo doesn't see how Soundwave could perform his role in battle if he's constantly bombarded with every noise and conversation happening. Unless he had a way to narrow his focus to the one he wanted to hear.]
It's funny! [At least he's not one to laugh too long at someone, even though he enjoys it. Does he think Soundwave might lash out at him? Not really. The guy seems pretty laid back, but stoic.] Uh-huh. Did you make the squeaky noises when the tapes were rewound?
[ ... wait a second. He peers up at Soundwave. Grin.] Can you still?
