"Let's Start Over, Shall We?"

A Dream? A Simulation? Or A Recoding?

The next 'recording'...

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

"Bakugo Katsuki. Come on. We have to start."

Bakugo tried to speak but nothing came out.

"Kat... It'll be okay! They aren't going to hurt us, right?" A spiky red haired boy asks, looking st the doctors.

"Shut up, Shitty Hair! Of course they aren't! And I ain't scared!" Bakugo says.

Wait, but Bakugo didn't want to say that. He was scared. He was confused. He didn't want to say "Shut up," or "I ain't scared,". He wanted to admit he was scared. He wanted Kirishima to hold him.

What is happening?

"Bakugo is scared?" Todoroki asks, raising an eyebrow with an amused face. Midoriya gently hits Todoroki's shoulder.

He, then, whispers, quietly so Bakugo couldn't hear, but of course, he still heard. "Shhhh, Sho~Kun! Kacchan is afraid of needles!"

"Shut the fuck up, Deku! I ain't scared! I don't have any fears!"

Kirishima giggles and gets up to hug Bakugo. "It's okay, Kat~! We won't make fun of you!"

Bakugo pushes Kirishima away and glares at him. "Go to your bed, Shitty Hair! I'm not scared...!"

Midoriya and Kirishima giggle as Todoroki's smirk never left his face.

"You are sooo scared, aren't you~?" Todoroki teases. Bakugo was about to say something only to be intrupted.

"Alright boys! Do your best in this simulation! Remember, your goal is to wake up from the simulation. But also remember that if you don't, it's okay! Not one pro hero today has passed this simulation so if you don't, it'll be okay!" All Might says, encouraging them through a speaker.

Bakugo flips off the camera. "Fine. We'll be the first pro heros to past this test! Then, I can be number one!"

Midoriya smiles at him, knowing that Bakugo will be very mad if they don't pass. "Yeah!" He agreed, laying down in the bed. Bakugo rolls his eyes and lays down.

Kirishima lays back also, biting his lower lip. "You guys sure it's safe...?"

"Fucking Shitty Hair! Shut up! Of course it is!"

Todoroki lays down, laughing. "Yep! Bakugo's scared~!"

"Shut up, Icy Hot!"

Bakugo watches all this happen. He wasn't in control of what he was saying. He wasn't in control of what he was doing. He was confused... Scared...

Wait.. Did they say simulation?

The doctors all injected the needles into the four boys and they all seemed to drift asleep.

Then, Bakugo jumped awake.

He was sitting in a investigation room. Next to him, Todoroki. He was sleeping also.

Todoroki, on the other hand, was experiencing the same dream.

He had no control on what he was saying or doing. He was confused. Scared. Frightened. What was happening?

Todoroki jolts awake, breathing heavily and very aware of his surroundings.

He sees Bakugo and then gets more confused. "What...? When did you get in here?"

"Actually, I think the real question is, why are you here? And cuffed at that!" Bakugo says, also very confused.

Todoroki looks down.

"Well?"

He explains everything. All the way up to where he fell asleep.

Bakugo looked away.

"Did you really do that...?" Todoroki nods. "Yeah.. I didn't even realize what I did until I did it."

"So, Pikachu is... Dead....?" Todoroki looks down.

"Yes.."

"And I... It was my doing...?"

"Yes."

Bakugo took a deep breath and let it out. He bit his lip.

"Of course I did..."

"Bakugo-"

"Icy Hot. Why did you kill them?" Bakugo looks up at him.

"I... I don't know... I just blacked out..."

Bakugo nods and looks at the window they couldn't see through.

"I had a weird dream..." Todoroki says, not looking over at him. "I need your help.. I just need your insight on it. I'm just confused.."

"Okay."

Todoroki explains his dream, every little detail. Bakugo was frozen. He couldn't believe it.

"I had the exact same dream!" He exclaims. Todoroki was surprised. "Really? Do you think it was just a memory we didn't see until now...?"

"I.. I honestly don't know... But it felt so different from the memories that we saw.. This, to me, felt... I don't know... Real... My other memories didn't feel as real as this one.." He sighs. "I don't know how to explain it.."

"No, wait. I know what you mean. It did feel like that." Todoroki says, his brain even more rattled.

Bakugo nods.

Meanwhile....

"Izuku! It worked! They did what they did and even got the dream! They know now!" Kirishima says, happily. Midoriya smiles at him.

"Then, it's time to get them out! We can get out of this simulation now!"

"Not so fast~!"

Someone says from behind them.

"Honestly, your group is truely amazing!" The person says, continuing. "The very first ones to finish and realize it was a simulation!" The two boys turn and prepare themselves.

"Ah-ah! I'm sorry for scaring you! See, I'm one of the doctors who put you into this simulation. But I'm also a high trained hero! I'm here to stop you, ya know, give you a challenge before you leave here. In order to leave, your group has to find and take Uraraka because she was recently reported missing, and you five have to come meet me here!"

He hands them a paper with an adress. "Do this and you are able to leave!"

"But.. But I thought Uraraka isn't part of our group...?" Kirishima asks, confused.

"And you are correct. You see, all the heros that do this simulation, become heros. You guys on the other hand, you guys became villains. We had nothing to do with you guys becoming villains. The simulation plot originates based on the leader of the groups, mind set.

"Since your leader is Midoriya, he was the one that allowed his brain to make this plot of the simulation. Everything that's happening is coming from Midoriya's brain."

Midoriya stood there, confused. "I am... What?!" The doctor nods. "Yep. Now hurry on. Those boys may be getting investigated soon."

"Wait. But, how long have we been in the simulation?"

"Oh! You also have the fastest record! Everything that's been happening only happened in two hours! You guys are - not only smart - but amazing!"

The doctor soon started to disappear. "Alright! That's all of my time! See you soon~!" Chuckling was the last thing the doctor did as he disappeared.

Kirishima looks over at Midoriya. "You can explain what is happening in your mind later. We have to go." He started to run out, only to be stopped by Midoriya.

"Wait.. Don't... Don't tell them about it... Please...?" He asks, basically pleading for him to not do it. "Okay. I won't. Let's go."

Then, they set off.
