[Not gone. Broken, bleeding, injured, stained, exhausted, but neither gone, down, or defeated. Scott saw to that himself. Reaching out and clasping the hero's hand until he could pull himself to his feet again. It'll take time, he knows there's no going back to "normal" after this. But he hasn't lost. He won't lose. No matter what this fucking place throws at him or does to him. There are people he cares about who are counting on him. They're far more important than lying down and giving up.
He doesn't recognize his breath slowing to match Scott's rhythm in an unconscious effort for contact and comfort. Listening to the mutant's exhales quiet in the darkness is a rhythm he can focus on. Steady, calming. Relaxing comes later, but exhaustion comes now. Nightmares and dreams, probably gonna invade his head soon enough, hopefully tomorrow rather than tonight. There's no control over when they come... yet his eyes finally fall shut as his consciousness rapidly buckles under a weighty sleep.]
Don't...
[So much for the usual grumpy reprimand to getting ordered around. Bakugo's asleep before the words even make it to his mouth, completely caught up in Scott's warmth and comforting presence. It'll be a draining night, but... he'll make it through.]
