You know Lord Wolfe's Infinity gauntlet AU: Apotheosis? Well This is a thing I'm doing related to that, in honor and celebration of Infinity War: Endgame coming out on April 26! So I decided to make all of you aware of the upcoming movie by putting this out. This is a concept that was obviously made by Lord Wolfe, and I really urge you to read that, but I am pretty sure you have, it's super popular.
So a few changes, are the colors of the stones, You'll see why, but I was honestly happy with what I did. Two, I changed a bit of dialogue here and there, as well as the whole damn Shie Hassaki (Overhaul) Arc. Third, All Might did NOT Burn out One for All During his fight with All For One.
This'll be a one or twoshot, depending on if I decide to split this in two. If I do split in two, I'll release the second part on the 24th.
(There are no spoilers for the Movie in this Fic, I repeat NO SPOILERS)
Either way, Here's Izuku as Thanos, enjoy.
Location: {Nighteye Pro Hero Agency, Meeting room #3}
Time: 13:30
Time until Raid: 48 Hours
Shota Aizawa sits in his assigned chair, just left of the head of the table. Normally, Aizawa isn't early to meetings, but this is a special occasion. Even if it wasn't explicitly stated, from what Aizawa was able to hear earlier, the situation was dire. On the most basic level, two of the students, out on their internship went on to find a little girl, no older than seven, obviously kidnapped and tortured. As of now, that's all Aizawa was able to get out of people.
'This can't just be something as simple as a rescue mission, otherwise they would have had the police and a few pros handle this. Even with the usage of quirks and possible trigger dealers-' Aizawa's train of thought was interrupted as the door to his right opened. All Might, Wearing his hero costume and in his shrunken form, enters the room, sitting opposite of Aizawa.
"Do you have any Idea what this is about?" Aizawa asked, slightly concealing his face in his capture gear.
"I have some clue, but I'm not sure I can say with certainty. Yet at least." The Number one hero replies, looking at the center of the table.
"So who all was invited to this? Just a select few, or is this larger than that?"
"I do believe that this is indeed bigger than we think, From what Young Mirio told me, this will be… Dangerous." All Might hesitates saying that last word.
"There will be quite a few heroes here, all of them top class or just outright powerful. Such as Ryukyu, Sir Nighteye and Fatgum, but they are the only people that I know for a fact are coming. Apart from you and I, of course." All Might continues.
"Interesting. Now, tell me, why now? Why when our students are out during their Provisional Internships?" Aizawa asks, eyeing the symbol of peace.
"Wouldn't it be safer if they were here? And not out interning with the heroes that will be attending this?" He continued.
All Might sighed and said:
"I Myself am still trying to figure that out." As he finished his sentence, The doors open again, this time revealing the rest of the pro heroes arrive. First in the door is Sir Nighteye, who sits at the head of the table, next to Aizawa and All Might. His glasses slightly askew, and came in carrying some sort of box. Next in the door, is Fatgum, whose imposing figure somewhat unsettles the room. He sits right next to All Might, smile seemingly wiped from his face. He's carrying a somewhat large box of Takoyaki, and places it in the middle of the table, munching on one himself. Then Centipeder walks in, he doesn't say anything, nor does he make any attempt to make his presence known. He sits on the far end of the table, on the same side as Aizawa. He wears a formal business suit, similar to Nighteye.
'Interesting. If they're calling in sidekicks, even if he is promising, this must be a really fucked situation.' Aizawa thinks to himself, eyeing the sidekick carefully.
The next person to walk in is Ryukyu, whose head is down somewhat, trying to keep a low profile. As to why, is beyond everybody, unless she knows what they're there for, and doesn't like it one bit. She sits next to Aizawa, slightly fiddling with her hair. The next person is Rock Lock, a somewhat tall, dark man with dreadlocks. He seems to have a semi-permanent scowl on his face, and sits next to Centipeder. A few more minor heroes walk in, and the last person to walk in surprised Eraserhead.
'Mirio? Kirishima?' The blonde walked in, a slightly sullen look on his face and sits next to Ryukyu, arms crossed.
"Okay, since we're all here, I think we can start." Nighteye says, taking out a remote, and clicking a button. The projector on the table starts up and the room dims, showing the image. It's of a symbol, black and white in color, supposedly a lotus of some sort. Aizawa knew the symbol all too well.
"Yesterday morning when Two of my interns: Mirio and Shinso came across a little girl, who said her name is Eri. During the interaction, they encountered a man who gave them no name, but it was obvious he was extremely dangerous." He clicks another button and the remote and the image changes to a young man, with black hair and a Plague doctor's mask.
"The Yakuza seems to have come back, and with a vengeance. See, The reasoning for us becoming involved for what seems like such a trivial matter is because of what their intentions are. See, Everything we've found out about them in the past link back together. Fatgum, three days ago your intern, Amajiki, otherwise known as Suneater was shot by a special type of bullet. It deactivated his quirk, and made him unable to use it for about half a day." This got Aizawa's attention.
'What the hell type of weapon is that?'
"See, we don't know exactly how it works, but we have a damn good Idea." Nighteye takes out an evidence bag, revealing it to have a bullet in it.
"We inspected the bullet, looking into it in several places, and what we found in it was to be quite disturbing." Nighteye put the bag down and said:
"Human cells. Skin and blood cells."
"The fuck?" Rock Lock said, giving Nighteye a dumbfounded look.
"Exactly, we interrogated the criminal who shot him after Red Riot caught him, and said he got it from buyers, and those buyers are the Yakuza, since the criminal got the bullet and trigger from the same dealer. Now, we know for a fact that these are the same Yakuza who are also dealing trigger, which then got us a lead." Nighteye then clicked the remote again, switching the slide to a rather plain looking man.
"This is a known member of the Yakuza that we've known for a while. We've managed to track him down going to a local shop, to which we found him buying this." Nighteye then lifts up a box, showing a toy meant for children.
"This on it's own isn't too weird, since people tend to collect these. But when I engaged the man, asked him about it, he didn't know anything about it. So I used My quirk on him, and saw her. The same little girl that Mirio and Shinso saw, and who else but the man in the Plague mask. I was only able to make out a little bit, such as experiments, as well as the location of their base. We aren't exactly sure what the whole relation is, but Mirio said that The plague mask man called the girl his Daughter. From what We've been able to piece together, Her quirk has something to do with erasing quirks, either temporarily or permanently. They're taking her apart, and putting her back together, as it looks like from how the bullets are made." Nighteye says, clicking the button again, this time, turning off the projector completely.
"Is that it? Is that all that we have?" Fatgum chimes in, munching on a Takoyaki.
"As of now, yes. I've already spoken to the Chief of police, who greenlighted this, as long as we acquire warrants to go. Also, About why Mirio is here, well, I suppose that he's the best one to explain this himself." Nighteye sits down and Mirio rises, stepping in front of everybody. His ever-present smile is gone, instead, replaced with an unfamiliar look to the people in the room, a strange mixture of a grimace and… Fear.
"Well. I don't really know how to say this, but… We students, who are interning at hero agencies working with this raid will be joining you."
'What the hell?!' Aizawa thinks to himself, letting himself get visibly shocked.
'This hasn't happened before in the history of U.A. Ever. I know that Nezu would never allow such a thing. What's the temporary replacement thinking? It's not only putting the Students in danger, but it's putting everybody else in danger, including the heroes. I can understand Togata, Hado and Amajiki, but everybody else who's interning with these heroes?'
"I know that sounds a little crazy, but we do have a structured plan. A rather large team will break into the actual building from the front. It'll consist of Rock Lock, Eraserhead, Squad Fatgum and, Squad Nighteye. Those who will be staying outside, to make arrests, will Be Squad Ryukyu, and All Might." Mirio finishes, Bowing slightly.
"So those who we have decided on interning with us shall be on our "Squad?" Ryukyu asks, looking up.
"Indeed, Like Myself and Shinsou shall be on Sir Nighteye's squad." Mirio clarifies, to which Ryukyu nods, taking a deep breath.
"In exactly forty-eight hours, we'll be meeting at the specified location, I suggest that you tell your interns the day before, so they can get some good rest. This is all. Please be there." Nighteye finishes, getting up, and walking out of the room.
One by one, each of the Pro Heroes, and student leave the room, until Only Aizawa is left.
'I suppose it makes sense. We'll be getting help from the police, but we're going to be needing as much help with dealing with the Yakuza. My students aren't ready to be heroes. Far from it. But they're our future, I didn't expel them all for a reason.' Aizawa thinks to himself, and leaves the room, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him.

Time: 20:42
Time Until raid: 42:40
Izuku sits in a dimly lit room, sitting on a large Steel Chair, built for a large man, Over eight feet tall, with a large build kept in mind.
'The Yakuza? Huh. That girl's quirk sounds… Interesting. And that man. In the Mask, no, the monster, who's torturing that little girl. Shigaraki told me about him. Overhaul. How creative, naming your villain name after your quirk. If he's capable of what I think he is, his quirk will be most beneficial to me. Not to mention it'll be satisfying to kill that bastard. Torturing his own daughter like that. It won't matter much anyways, once he's a part of the Gauntlet… Nobody'll care that he existed.' He thinks in silence.
He takes a deep breath, Taking a look at his left, Gauntlet-covered Hand. It's incomplete, With Pieces of all five stones in their slots. The Power stone, right under his left knuckle glows red, while the one by his thumb, The time stone, lies about a quarter complete, glows orange. The Space stone, A deep, deep purple, almost darkens the room. It is about halfway completed, leaving the divot left unoccupied. The stone left of the Space stone, The reality Stone, Burns Green, a higher percentage completed, at 75%. The Stone at the end of the Gauntlet, The Mind Stone, Is blue, and has a miniscule shard of a Gem on it, barely noticeable by normal means, leaving the rest of the slot open. The Final Stone, The Soul stone, has a larger portion than the Mind stone, but a smaller percentage than the Time stone. It's placement in the center of the gauntlet. It's light Yellow Glow is what is slightly illuminating the room, allowing for Both Izuku's and the Gauntlet's features to be observable.
Izuku, has grown taller since Middle School, Mostly due to the influence of the stones. He stands at 7'6", Currently, Taller than All Might himself. His features are sharper, including a stronger chin and darker green eyes. His hair, has strands of white in it, with the Green still being the dominant color. Once again, Due to the stones, Izuku has gained a ton of muscle, not nearly as much as All Might, but both Looks, and is stronger than 1-A's Sugar Hero. His muscles bulge in his outfit, A green and black suit, including traces of gold. The dominant color being black, he has green stripes leading from the front, and sides of his neck lead all the way down to his ankles. On their way down, the stripes branch off, forming circuit board like designs all across the outfit. There are traces of gold that occur at the beginning and end of each Line of green. He wears Light armor on top of it, which is silver and white. He wears a chestplate, and some shin armor, which is white out front, but has silver trim. Next to his right arm, is his Helmet, which is too, White and silver. It would cover all his hair, and reach down to his upper lip, a white visor covering the top portion of his head. It has streaks that reach from the visor to the back of the helmet, that are silver in color, and branch out to one another. As for his footwear, he wears white boots made of the same light metal material as the rest of the outfit, when he walks, an audible clanking sound is heard.
The Gauntlet itself, is a wonderful piece of workmanship and technology. Made of steel initially, and molded apart, together and apart thousands of times by the Reality and Power stone, to form an unbreakable metal, is silver in color, apart from the stones, which illuminate any room. It starts about halfway up the forearm, Tight to the skin, as if it were a second layer. It's thick, sticking about an inch and a half out from the base, all around the arm. The entire Gauntlet is consumed in what seems like wires, sticking barely out of the surface of the gauntlet. The Lines form intricate designs, similar to those of the Mayan depictions of Gods. They reach from the base of the gauntlet all the way to the fingers, stopping just before the tips, ending in a circle. The fingertips are smooth, and allow for grabbing anything to be easy. The fingers themselves, are etched with what each slot is supposed to house. For Power, The sun. For Time, A clock. For Space, A small spiral, showing the universe. For reality, the Earth, as it is all of our reality. As for the mind, the brain, something every living being has. For The soul, no etching is marked, rather, The lines circle around it, and the circle closes, all the lines forming towards the slot. The slots themselves, are fine pieces of technology themselves. They feed off each other's powers, with gold lines leading into the center of the slot. They're designed to draw power from each of the stones, gravitating towards the gauntlet. Once they're slotted in, unless willed by the user of the gauntlet, and forced out by the other stones, they can't be removed by any force on earth. The palm of the gauntlet, is plated, and smooth, without scratches or lines depicting anything.
Izuku takes a deep breath and says aloud:
"So close. Yet so far at the same time." As he finishes, the door at the end of the room opens, a soft yellow light floods the room, as one person walks in. It's a woman, wearing a black bodysuit that rises up to her neck, reaching all the way down to her ankles. The Bodysuit is quite form-fitting, making out several features around her body. Her shoes are red, with black shoelaces and are similar to the ones Izuku would wear in his past, before he took up his villain status. Over the black bodysuit, is a red cloak, reaching a little bit past the ankles. On her face, is a red and black mask, black circling around the eyes and the mask itself, the rest of which being red. The mask only covers just above her nose, and reaches to her eyebrows. Her cloak is hooded, and can droop down to her eyebrows. Her hair is a dark, dark red, and can often be mistaken to be brown. Her eyes, are brown, and somewhat square. She quickly approaches Izuku, and gets on one knee, bowing her head towards the man. Her left hand is touching the ground, while the other, her knee.
"Sir, The heroes have formed their entire squad. They will be sending the police with them as-" Her voice sounds kind, and like that of a mother's.
"Stand." Izuku Interrupts, his voice deep and stern.
"Y-Yes sir." She rises, looking up to the man in the chair.
"I have been informed on their plans. But I summoned you here to ask you a few questions." Izuku hunches forward in his chair, looking at her in the eyes.
"How far is your range now?"
"About two miles Sir, I have been training since you gave me this power." She replies, bowing slightly.
"Do not bow to me. As far as I see it, we are equals, are we not?"
"B-But sir, you are more powerful than any of us, you could-"
"I'm not talking about power-" Izuku grabs his helmet and rises, descending from his slightly elevated chair. With each of his steps, the clanging of metal on the concrete below them echoes around the room.
"If I did care about power, you would not be here now."
"I know sir, but-"
"Power is a relative term, changing with everybody's perception. I chose each and every one of you because I saw something in you beyond your quirk-" Izuku interrupts again, this time, putting his right hand on her head, which almost covers it all.
"-I saw greatness. And that is why, I gave you your power." The woman touches the center of her chest, between her breasts. For a split moment, it glows blue slightly, before darkening again.
"T-Thank you sir." She stammers, taking a breath of relief.
"Now, Follow me, We need to discuss our plans, Nova." Izuku says, walking towards the door. She stands still for a moment, before turning around and following Izuku out of the room. Before she can close them, A light purple surrounds the door, before they almost slam shut. She turns to see Izuku's gauntlet emit a purple aura, before it dissipates, Leaving the Stones Idle.
"Don't bother, now come. We have a lot to discuss before tomorrow." He clenches his fist for a moment again, and another purple light flashes, this time, A portal opens, appearing gaseous, made of purple clouds, and leading into black towards the center.
He gestures towards the portal and says:
"After you." Nova nods and swiftly walks through the portal. Izuku huffs and walks through it himself, revealing a room, lit with a red tinge. It's a basic room with a small bar in the corner. Not dissimilar to the League of Villain's first base. In there, are three people, apart from Izuku and Nova.
The first, is a man with black hair, barely touching his shoulders. His eyes are red, with a sharp point towards the ends of them. He's wearing a black mask, that has little horns reaching backwards at the end. The mask reaches down to his nose, completely covering the top portion of his face. He's not wearing anything special, a gray bodysuit that covers the entirety of his body, becoming thicker towards the feet and crotch area. It's meant to adapt to the body's needs, acting as a second layer of skin. It's somewhat smooth, not making out any of his defining features. He does, however have a red X across his chest, starting from his shoulders, to each hip. His name: Basilisk.
The other woman, is of average height, for her age at least, and has short blonde hair. Her eyes are blue, and she has a mouth full of short, spiky teeth. Her skin seems to have small scale-like patterns on them, which is an effect of her quirk. Her outfit, is rather simple and rather revealing. Apart from a purple cloak, she only wears a black sports bra, and Leggings. She doesn't have shoes, and her hands are completely exposed. Her mask, is white, and has a purple trim around it. The name which Izuku gave her: Quake.
The last person, apart from Nova, has somewhat long, black hair, curled up to point forward, just barely over her shoulders. Her outfit, is a red bodysuit, which cuts off at around the armpits and about halfway down her thighs. Her shoes are red, and have steel soles. Her gray eyes are uncovered, rather with a mask that starts from her jaw, and rises to the bridge of her nose. The mask acts as a respirator and is made of titanium. It's black in color, and leaves her voice unchanged. She was granted the name: Riptide.
The three are sitting at a table, awaiting instructions. When they see Izuku, they all immediately rise and say:
"Sir." Izuku returns the bow and walks to the head of the table.
"Now, I know that you all already know this, but the Yakuza has kidnapped a little girl for her quirk. Her name is Eri. We gained Information from the League of Villains that the monster that is in possession of this little girl, has the name 'Overhaul.'" Izuku clenches his gauntlet-covered fist, and the Green Reality stone glows, The room shifting, a green line starts to crawl across the room, the area affected, changes into a cold, concrete room, with a restraining table at the end.
"With what little information we were given, he appears to believe that our world is sick. I do believe that he is not wrong about that. But his methods… He kills for fun, because he can. He tortures that poor girl every single day in order to achieve his goal, from what Intel we gathered from the Pro Heroes, his end goal is to make a bullet that will destroy one's quirk permanently." In the room, two black figures carry a little girl, fighting for her life to escape, to the table. They lift her with ease, and put her in the table. Another man approaches, very obviously Overhaul, removes gloves, and is about to touch the little girl, when the bar returns. Nova shudders slightly, and returns her attention.
"You all will be on this mission, some in disguise, some not. Nova, You will be our rear guard, keep an eye on everybody. Riptide, You'll be by my side for the majority of the operation. As For you, Basilisk and Quake-" Izuku gives a look to the two, who give a look to each other, and back to Izuku.
"You will infiltrate with the heroes. If one of you manages to get a hold of Eri, Bring her to me." Izuku finishes, when Quake asks:
"What will you do with her?" She looks sincere about the question, as if she's scared to ask.
"Why, we will raise her. The right way." He says. Quake closes her eyes and exhales in relief.
"Now, Go and train for the rest of today, and rest tomorrow. For the day after that, is when the raid takes place. Now, leave." Izuku Closes his gauntlet again, opening a purple portal.
"See you soon, Sir." Basilisk says, walking through the portal. Quake walks out without another word, while Riptide nods her head, stepping through the portal. Before Nova can walk through, the portal closes.
"Nova, I would like to talk to you." She looks up at him and says:
"Y-Yes sir, What-"
"Take off your mask." Nova blinks a couple times, and nods, reaching back, taking off her hood first. Then, she pulls a string, letting down the mask covering around her eyes, revealing the woman known as Shino Sosaki, looking up at Izuku.
"S-Sir?"
"How is Kota doing? Is he doing well in school?" Izuku asks, opening up another portal.
"Yes, he seems to be making friends well."
"Good Good. Now, I know that your combat prowess is above average, especially for our role that you play, but I want you to practice hand to hand combat more." They step through the portal and they find themselves in the forest, ten miles out from the Rescue center, where the U.A students were attacked in the summer.
"Yes sir. I will do my hardest."
"I also want to discuss some private plans with you." Izuku starts to walk towards the base, along with Shino.
"What are they?"
"I want you to find the girl. I want you to find out where she is, what's happening to her and just about everything about her, including the aspects of her quirk. Keep me updated on everything that happens to her."
"Yes sir, but… Are we really going to raise her? I mean, I know you keep your word, but If her quirk can do the things we heard about…" She is silent until Izuku says:
"Of course. I wouldn't lie about something like this." Izuku looks down at Shino, who is keeping up at his pace. She takes a deep breath and says:
"But we don't have the talent or the resources to take care of her. Not to mention she'll be isolated from the world."
"Well, you're raising Kota, right? I can acquire the resources to take care of the child. And I won't allow her to grow up alone, after all, we have Kota." Shino stops, looking at the ground in front of her. Izuku stops as well, not looking back.
"I promised you that I would change the world, where nobody would have to suffer, in a world without villains and heroes. A world where Kota and kids like him would never experience the pain of losing their parents at an unacceptable age. I won't break that promise. I swear to you. Kota will Be Eri's friend. They may have many similarities, and could even help each other."
Shino is silent and begins walking again, walking right past Izuku.
"Like I said, Kota will not be a member of our Brigade. Nor will Eri. Anyways, Once you arrive at the base, I will pick you and Riptide up. You will be positioned a block away, atop a roof. Once the raid begins, start searching for her, unless, of course, you managed to completely conceal your presence within one's mind."
"No sir, I have not achieved that yet."
"Very well, then you shall begin once the raid has started, attempt to keep your presence known to few. I would prefer if we were able to get in, grab the girl, and get out without our presence being known to the heroes." As Izuku finishes, His phone buzzes in his pocket.
'Tomura.' Izuku thinks, taking it out of his pocket.
"Go on, Just make sure your teammates don't know." Izuku gestures her away, to which she nods and runs off into the forest. Izuku smiles slightly and answers the phone.
Location: New League of Villains HQ, Elerion Prefecture.
Time: 13:34
Time until raid: 27:56
Izuku walks through a black portal, into a windowless well-furnished room. It's rather large, with a very fancy aesthetic to it. The floor is blue carpet, with black streaks here and there. It's very open and circular, with the Middle of the room slightly lower to the ground. To Izuku's right, is a bar, in which a Man made of Black Mist is currently cleaning a glass. At the bar, is Shigaraki, facing towards Izuku. He's wearing a brown Jacket and the hands around his body. On the large couch at the center of the room, lies Toga, sprawled out and asleep. Opposite of her, sitting at the opposite end of the couch, is Dabi and Spinner, talking to each other. On the opposite side of the room, sitting in a comfy-looking armchair is Mr. Compress, Missing an arm. A moment later and Riptide walks through the portal. Tomura is the first to speak.
"Atlas. I have to say, It's been a little while." He puts down his glass, and gets off the barstool.
"Indeed. Are you enjoying your new headquarters?"
"We are, how exactly did you acquire this space? And why give it to us?"
"I made it myself, and ran electricity and water down here from the Casino above. It's the least I could do for a group that has helped me out so much."
Tomura looks up at Izuku in the eyes, and says:
"Well… Thank you. I guess. Now about the Raid on the Yakuza-"
"Where's Magne?" Izuku says, looking around. Tomura scoffs and says:
"You know how we know the Leader's name?" Izuku looks down at Tomura and says:
"You had an audience?"
"Yes, and we paid for it. The damn Miniboss killed Magne and Took Compress' arm."
"I trust that you didn't do it here."
"Obviously not. We did it in an abandoned warehouse." Tomura says, walking over to a couch, and plopping himself down on it. He hunches forward, his elbows on his legs.
"Tomorrow we're going to have another audience with the guy. We're going to be acting like we're interested in joining him, since he doesn't know a raid is happening-"
"He won't know what hit him, but why are you willing to get so close to such a dangerous man?" Izuku finishes for him.
"Simple, I need to kill him."
"That's it?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Yes, actually. If you just rush him when he's in shock, He'll panic activate his quirk, and you'll die from it." Tomura looks away and says:
"I've learned not to argue with you, what's your plan."
"I say you run, just for a little while. Escape. When he's arrested, ambush the truck and even then, don't kill him."
"But-"
"Let me finish." Izuku booms, silencing Shigaraki getting the attention of everybody else in the room and making Toga stir in her sleep.
"The yakuza have been around since before quirks existed. Now, they almost always had this tradition that whenever a subordinate failed-" Izuku uses the reality stone, and makes an image of a man with a bandaged hand.
"They cut off a finger."
"How is that supposed to do anything? He can still use his quirk."
"His quirk is from his hands, correct? So, torture him if you please. Cut off his hands. Quite symbolic, honestly. He'd be useless to the yakuza after tomorrow." Tomura leans back and thinks about this, chuckling.
"I like it. I like it a lot. I guess all Might will be there as well?"
"Yes, Don't worry I'll deal with him." Izuku says, starting to walk away. Tomura calls after him, saying:
"It's easy to go against All Might when you have a Legendary Item. You better not waste it!" Izuku stops and says:
"It's not a legendary Item, It's a straight cheat code. I'll leave Riptide with you." Izuku creates his own portal and is about to walk through it when Tomura says, hastily:
"Wait, We don't need to-"
"You're understaffed, Besides, She'll be of more use with you rather than me for this. I'll see you tomorrow." Izuku walks through the portal and it closes, leaving the room in silence.
"What's your name?" Tomura asks, looking at the Black haired Girl.
"Riptide." She responds quickly. Her voice sounds as if she was intentionally being quiet. She walks over to the bar and sits at a barstool. Tomura gets up and approaches her.
"I meant your real name."
"Riptide is the name Atlas has given me, and it is the only name that matters right now." She says. She sounds young, not even out of High school.
"Listen-" Tomura says threateningly, as he puts his hand on her shoulder, leaving the middle finger barely off.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Riptide tells her. Tomura suddenly feels a cold feeling against the back of his neck.
"Toga, stop."
"It's not her." Kurogiri says, pouring a margarita and passing it to her. Tomura freezes and turns around slowly. There, he finds nothing but the knife holding itself up against his throat.
"Atlas has trained me to be able to kill everybody in this room by myself. I'm with you until Atlas says otherwise. That is all." Riptide says, flinging the knife across the room, embedding it in the wall on the opposite side of the room. She picks up the drink and and sips it, releasing Tomura.
"Fine, But if you get lost during the operation, you're on your own."
"I count on it." She says, looking him in the eyes. Tomura backs down, leaving her to her own devices.
Location: Shie Hassaikai Compound, Nar Shaddaa County
Time: 13:21
Time until Raid: 00:08:48
Izuku stands in a rooftop, right next to Nova, who are both Masked.
'About ten minutes until Breach. Are you ready?' Izuku thinks, to which he is met with a thought sent directly to his brain:
'Of course. Will Riptide be okay? The league is dangerous.'
'I do believe so, after all, She is likely the strongest out of you four.' Izuku crosses his arms, and takes a look at the gauntlet. He hasn't gotten any more stone shards, but he does have a plan to hold off All Might.
"I hope we get her." Nova says aloud.
"Don't worry we will as long as you follow the plan. I can only hope that Quake and Basilisk know what they are doing. They're strong, but without leadership and their hidden powers… I'm not sure."
"I'll keep check on all of them."
"As much as I appreciate that, Don't. We need to Find Eri, and you'll be the one to do that." Izuku takes a deep breath and says:
"I'll leave you to focus now, I'll be heading into the compound now." Izuku says quickly and jumps off the roof of the building, landing on his feet. The asphalt cracks beneath his boots and he walks towards the compound.
'Eri. Huh. Once I acquire her quirk into my gauntlet, nobody will need to have to hurt her again. She'll be safe with us.' Izuku is lost in thought for a moment before he looks to his right and sees a little kid, looking almost straight up at him. The child has sandy hair and blue eyes. He also happens to have four arms.
"Hello, child." Izuku kneels down, and looks at the child.
"You're Atlas, Right?" He says. Izuku smiles and says:
"Why yes I am. Say, where are your parents." The child points back to a woman and a man talking with a random person on the street.
"Say, why don't you go to them and say that you should get out of here quickly. Something big is about to happen." The boy runs off and Izuku stands up.
'The police didn't even clear the surrounding area of civilians. I'll have to change that too.' Izuku hears an explosion behind him, and turns around to see a plume of dust in the air.
"I Guess It's Time to be Atlas." Izuku says, walking towards the commotion.
"It's also time to Hunt down a Monster."
Okay, That's all for now! The actual fight and aftermath will be next chapter.
So Remember to go see Infinity war in theaters on the 26th! After all, our favorite Deku was a thought spun from Spider Man.
So until the 24th, PLUS ULTRA!
