[He knows enough about Izuku to be more irritated that the expectation wasn't betrayed than disappointed Izuku stuck to the same pattern he always had. Then again, it's not like Bakugo's out here stuffing his room with expensive shit.
He's smart with his money.]
Some Outsiders work in restaurants, others opened shops. I work on the police force.
[The last part's pretty damn proud of himself too. It's the closest thing to being a hero he can be without having "hero" as an occupation here.]
[The police are stretched thin as it is, considering the population is down to 30% of what it used to be. That'd strain any faction.
Yeah, it'd be strange in a normal setting for a teenager to waltz into the police force without even having high school under their belt. But considering all the preparation and training U.A. gave them... Bakugou basically demanded the job.]
If I'm old enough to fight world-ending monsters, I'm old enough to fuck up a petty criminal.
[The jury is still out on whether U.A. basically conscripted children soldiers like Dabi said or if the students themselves volunteered. Katsuki wouldn't have let them keep him out of the fight, especially since he and his classmates already had their "fuck you rules" when they went after Izuku in the interim.]
[An astonishing list, especially since it's only been a handful of months since Bakugo's arrival. It's clear that he's been keeping busy, which isn't surprising at all. He's always had a good work ethic.
But. One sticks out in particular.]
They let you drive the patrol car???
[So much excitement from a guy who can fly. But he's never driven a car before. He doesn't even have a learner's permit yet!]
[The city's trying to survive in a world where kaiju attacks happen almost every other month, to say nothing of weird events going on with similar frequency. That kind of world doesn't make for a damn utopia. Hell, it makes an even more "my myself and i" mentality that can make criminal actions more attractive.
And let's face it, no matter where they are or what circumstances, people are scum.
Oh is THAT the part that sticks out?]
OF COURSE THEY DO!! I'M FUCKING 17!!
[Yeah, Katsuki was super excited to demand driving lessons immediately. Screw the fact he can fly. Screw the fact he has no permit. If he's old enough to blow up criminals for you, he's old enough to drive for you.

Wait, what was that?]
They let you join the police force?
[He's not so much surprised that Bakugo is working as a cop as he is that they let a teen have that job.
Desperate times.]no subject
Honestly he's surprised the other boy hadn't asked about something like that already.]
HAA?! Why the fuck wouldn't they let me?! I'm stronger than all of them put together!
[Of course he'd take that innocent question as a sleight to his strength. Typical. (And yeah, desperate times + Outsider strength.)]
no subject
But it's not like even in their world it's normal for a teen who hasn't graduated high school to join the police. Or be a fully licensed hero.]
Right. I just thought there might be an age limit or something.

[It's not as if the pro heroes had been able to keep the U.A. students out of the fight when it came down to it. Desperate times and all that.]
I'm sure you're doing a great job Kacchan.
[Accept the positive reinforcement. Accept iiittt.]
no subject
Of course I'm doing excellent!
[Stroke his ego more.]
It's not the same as villains though.
no subject
[Unless some ability wielding Outsider is looking to get arrested.]
What kind of cases have you worked on? If you can tell me the details.
no subject
[And that's the better nights. Often its petty crimes and idiots. So far no Outsider has gone criminal.]
Robberies, traffic violations, a few suicide attempts, idiots getting into fights at bars. One high speed chase. That was fucking fun.
[Go figure; he likes the adrenaline pumpers.]
