Exam Gone Wrong

Izuku makes his way home without ever registering where he is. Letting his body move on autopilot as he keeps his gaze downward, and the shadows over his eyes loom thanks to his hair. But if one were to see his eyes, they'd see that the sparkle his emerald eyes had are gone, replaced by a pitiful look of despair.

He arrives home, again not even realizing when he even got off the train, but he arrives. Upon opening the door he can't even be relieved to find that Hisashi's shoes aren't there. He leaves his own shoes at the door before heading straight for his room. He passes up the chicken where his mother, Inko, is busy at the stove, preparing dinner. She hadn't noticed him yet, and right now, he'd like to keep it that way.

Izuku walks on without a word, straight for his room so that he might be able to call this day over and done with. To have a sense of safety and comfort. But he doesn't find it here, that grin, that now haunting grin that now fills his heart with twisted pains and terrible emotions. The grin is everywhere as if taunting and remembering how he's viewed. As a victim. As nothing, A waste of time! And... and not worthy.

Izuku's fist clenches so hard that blood drips down from his palm. His entire body shakes as the boiling in his stomach burns away at him from the inside. That damn grin, that damn smile he just can't bear to look at anymore.

It was now late at night, everyone in the Midoriya apartment was now sound asleep. Izuku was trying to get a good night's rest due to his big day with the final exam and trying to forget about what All Might said. The latter was probably not going to happen, so he might as well focus on the former. Falling asleep wasn't an issue, what followed after was where things got weird.

Izuku was standing in an empty room, everything was pitch black and yet the room was fairly lit. He had no idea where the light was coming, he didn't see a lamp or lightbulbs. He also didn't see any furniture or personal items, he also didn't see any doors, windows, or bars so this wasn't a prison either. He was very confused so he figured he should try to look around, maybe use Stinkfly or XLR8 to find out more. He reached for the Omnitrix but was stunned that all he felt was bare skin. He looked down and was surprised to see that the watch was gone.

He held his arms up and looked them over, both completely bare with no Omnitrix anywhere. He had no idea what was happening, where was he, where was the Omnitrix, was he kidnapped?

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard movement behind him. He looked to see there were three full length mirrors that came out of the floor. One on his left, one on his right, and one directly in front of him. He approached the mirrors slowly, seeing as that was the only thing he could do at the moment. Once he was close enough, he was able to see his reflection in all three mirrors. But what he saw confused him because he wasn't looking at himself, he was looking at three separate people who just happened to have his face.

The one on the right showed a disturbing version of him dressed as some kind of creepy clown. This reflection was dressed in a purple suit jacket and pants, with a green suit vest and tie and a yellow shirt. He was also wearing black and white spats, white gloves, and a pink flower tucked in his front jacket pocket. But what was most frightening was the face this reflection was making. The face was coated in white makeup, with red lipsticks and very dark circles around the eyes. What was most horrifying was the smile the reflection was making because the lips had scars on both ends that made the smile longer and more sinister. Add the fact that the similar hair was casting a shadow around his already dark circles, this reflection felt so... evil.

The one on his left was equally as intimidating because this one screamed rage. This reflection was dressed in simple all black clothes, a black t-shirt, pants and shoes. What stood out about this one was the right arm, left eye, and shaved head. The entire right arm was a prosthetic robot arm, more advanced than anything he's ever seen made from the support course. It was primarily a dull, dark gray, almost black, with white features as well. However, Izuku was surprised to see that it was also glowing dark purple, adding a menacing light to the face. Speaking of which, there was more of a difference with the face because there was an eyepatch covering the left eye and it looked like the hair was shaved off. What made it worse was that this reflection was giving a glare that looked like they wanted to kill you slowly and painfully.
