To Overcome

"news flash bitch we are one and the same"

the sound of izuku's footsteps echoed through the pitch-black space no matter how much he tried to quiet them ' i hate this'  he thought in disdain noticing the absence of the voice which he found odd because it would usually use this time to torment him. after a while of walking, he noticed the subtle hum that started to drown out the sound of his footsteps.

' finally' he thought quicking his pace, straining his ears to pinpoint the origin steeling himself to come in contact with Hisashi. instead of the black-haired male, he was met with a figure that sat in the middle of the space. it was facing away from him but izuku could clearly hear the song now and he flinched. he wrote this song 

I guess I have to face
That in this awful place
I shouldn't show a trace of doubt
But in this darkened space, my heart begins to race 
did i deserve the pain? 
That I would rather do without
I'd rather be...
Free-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee
Free...
I wanna be
Free-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee
Free...
Free-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee
Free...
From here( credit to Rebecca sugar  i just changed up some lyrics but you should listen to the song it's great it's called escapism)

he didn't know when he ended up on the floor or when the figure stood " do you remember when we wrote this song? how you promised to save mom? how you promised you'd save us? and how you failed? " it was staring with a distorted face that sent a violent shiver through izuku. the tattered aldera uniform was as identifying as the wild shadowed green hair. " why the fuck are you here?" izuku said as his head started ached with the thoughts running around.

izuku may not like the voice but he wasn't scared of it, maybe the simulator made a mistake he thought, as he reached for the button to get out a cold hand gripped his wrist snapping the band and crushing the button " aww c'mon izuku you just got here we have so much to discuss, I'm kind of offended I've been planning for this since the hobo said something about the test" it said, gripping izuku's wrist even tighter. izuku snarled " fuck you, " yanking his wrist free he flipped onto his feet. 

 flames danced on izuku's palm; if he couldn't escape he would just rip whatever the fuck this was and leave. the figure chuckled " so hostile," the room came alive shadows started to rise from the ground. izuku hopped away from a tendril that tried to wrap around his ankle, Izuku threw a ball of flames at the figure and rushed it. just as his fist came in contact with the figure it warped and suddenly he was face to face with Hisashi. flames shot out of its mouth izuku barely had enough time to roll away before it was on him. for this thing not to be real the punches sure as hell felt like it.

" YOu shOuLD haVe fuCKinG dIeD" the voice was now distorted between Hisashi's and the deep one that lived in izuku's head. " shut up" he growled out as its fist connected with his face. Izuku wrapped his arm around the one that had him pinned. pressing a flame coated hand into its abdomen and twisted. " aRrGh " it screeched out. once Izuku heard the crack of a broken bone he used his legs to kick it off of him. 

it tumbled away from izuku before standing its form shifted and the next thing he knew he was back in the hallway where he had confronted bakugou. " stop showing me this shit" izuku growled out as he let his flames consume the image. he would not let that distract him as he watched the last of the memory burn away he felt the thorns grip tighter around his heart. 

turning away he went after the shadow.

Kirishima sat holding a shaken bakugou in his lap. bakugou had been there before Kirishima sitting on the floor in the corner of the starting room his wrist band gone so Kirishima knew he had pulled out. neither of them said anything as Kirishima released calming pheromones and just held the kitsune. he watched as more people poured in each going to their respective mates or friends no conversations were made and stain had periodically popped in handing out water and other small snacks.
