Inconceivable Explorations

Stronger Than You

They all settle down as the screen clicks on. On it, the next title card appears: Stronger Than You.

"Oooh! I wonder what that means." Someone says before getting shushed.

Piano music fills the room as the opening of a song plays.

"This one has a song? Cool." Kaminari grins.

I didn't know what I got into

The girl's voice is soft and regretful, setting the tone of the song. The picture fades into view.

Midoriya, eyes closed, removes their hand off a glittering star. His blue and purple sweater is ratty and the thread has thinned. Holes are growing on the sleeves, his thumbs poking through.

Somehow I can't go back even if I really wanted to

In his hand, is a small, toy knife. It's dull and the handle is worn. There are small specks of dust on the edge of the knife.

So what more can I do?

His sweater flickers, turning green and yellow for only a couple seconds, switching back and forth.

Everyone stays quiet, not wanting to interrupt the music.

Here in the end it's just me and you.

The eyes flicker open, and red. They flicker back to being closed, and normal.

The picture switches to a black jacket with gold trim. The fluff of the jacket is white, but the zipper and stitching are this golden yellow.

"...Kaminari?" Kirishima asks puzzled before being shushed.

They are in a large hall, golden in color.

It's a judgement hall.

I never wanted to play by all the rules,

Izuku' hand comes up to hold a heart locket around his neck.

A knife in hand, I am playing out the part of the fool.

A group of their friends are around Izuku. An older Todoroki is in front of him with Kirishima to his side along with Bakugou. Ashido is behind him, wearing a lab coat and Jirou is next to her, with an eyepatch. An odd machine lingers in the background, sparkles surrounding it.

"Is that supposed to be Aoyama?" Jirou asks, quirking an eyebrow.

"Of course it is moi, mademoiselle! ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* " Aoyama says. Jirou blinks.

Did he just talk with sparkles? I didn't know that was possible. Aoyama stares at an empty space (right at you, might I add. he can see you) and he winks fabulously.

Izuku leaves the group, knife in hand, looking upset.

Here we go, you can judge me thoroughly.

The camera pans back to Kaminari in the judgement hall. His hands are in his pockets and he has a big chill grin on his face.

Izuku spreads his arms wide open.

It's too late for apologies.

A close up of Izuku's face, blank and eyes closed with a wide grin one moment, and flickering to wide crazy and feral red eyes the next.

Go ahead and just kill me if you're able.

Kaminari holds out a lightning bolt, pointing it towards Izuku, who's eyes are open wide with bloodlust. His heart, the traditional shape as opposed to the shape of an actual heart, is exposed, turning from red to blue.
