Chapter 1: A New World of Heroes
Captain America stares out in front of him, his eyes filled with fear, regret and determination as he focuses on his target, the icy seas below. The Valkyrie descends rapidly to it's icy grave. Over the radio he assures Agent Carter that they'll have a date at the pub. They'll dance to slow music and enjoy each other's company. He continues to assure her of this, but they both know deep down that he wasn't going to make it. As this occurs the tesseract shots out a beam from it's new home in the seas below. The beam shots up through the ship interrupting his conversation leaving only static on the other end. The beam carried him, his shield, his compass, and various parts of the plane far away. The aircraft crashed into the ice slowly sinking to the depths below, it's pilot no longer there.
The beam carries Rogers across the universe eventually leaving it and crossing him over to another. In the beam Rogers' mind raced as the various shades of blue streaked around him. What's going on? This was the question that constantly raced through his head. Suddenly he came crashing into a city street. The blue beam dispersed leaving him in a cracked city street surrounded by the smoldering rubble of the aircraft he was on. His shield, helmet, and compass were lying next to him. As he got up he took notice of his surroundings. He was in a massive city of skyscrapers with bright lights and billboards all around him. He noticed all the oddly shaped people around him, staring at him. While some appeared normal many others had growths that, to the Captain, seemed impossible. As he looked around taking in all that's around him, his mind began to race again. Desperately he try to come up with an explanation. However, each path he went down lead to more questions than answers. Eventually he let out a deep sigh.
"Looks like I'm not making that date anytime soon." He muttered to himself.
Slowly he picked up his helmet and placed it on his head. He then went to pick up his compass. He looked at the picture of Peggy inside before closing it up and putting it in his belt pocket. He then grabbed his shield. As he slung it over his back he heard the sounds of running footsteps. He turned around to see four individuals, three women and one man, each wearing different color variation of the same uniform. Said uniforms each consisted of a sleeveless collared top decorated with three straps and a bell, a large ruffled skirt, a tail, an orange belt with pockets, and a silver buckle resembling a cat paw with blue pads. The also sported large white cat gloves ,which had retractable claws, and boots with vertical stripes and white fur lining. A top their heads was a strange device that resembled cat ears.
Steve only looked on in confusion due to their outfits seeming more ridiculous than his old stage outfit.
Five minutes earlier…
The Wild Wild Pussycats were on their way back to their agency after finishing up their patrol. They had been trying to investigate a series of robberies in the area but had come up with very little evidence to connect them or even find the perpetrators. In their most recent patrol they'd hoped to catch the robbers in the act. However tonight was a peaceful night, no crimes to stop or villains to arrest. As they walked conversation began to spring up.
"Man I can't believe we came up empty again." Pixie-Bob complained.
Pixie-Bob was a young blond woman with a blue variation of the Pussycats' hero outfit. Her real name is Ryuko Tsuchikawa.
"Don't let it get you down, that just means we have step up our game." Mandalay point out.
Mandalay was a young woman of the same age as Pixie-Bob with red hair and a red variation of their hero outfits. Her real name is Shino Sosaki.
"Besides a peaceful night is a good thing." She added on.
"Mandalay's right it's not often we get peaceful nights like these." Ragdoll expressed.
Ragdoll was also of the same age as Mandalay and Pixie-Bob, though she was shorter than the two of them and had green hair. She sported a yellow version of their hero outfit. Her real name is Tomoko Shiretoko.
"Let us also not forget that as hero our presence has a calming effect on the citizens around us. We can not forget that when we go on patrol." Tiger pointed out.
Tiger had short brown hair and was the only man of the group. He was rather tall and buff, especially when compared to the more petite members of the group. Despite this he wore the same outfit as the girls only his was a brown variation. His real name is Yawara Chatora.
"Besides there's always tomorrow. Let's get some rest so we're ready for whatever may lie ahead."
"Tiger's right, let's call it a night and try again tomorrow." Mandalay expressed.
"Roger that!" Everyone else cheered.
With a laugh they a continued along. Suddenly a beam of blue light came down several blocks away.
"What's that!" Pixie-Bob exclaimed.
"I don't know but we should hurry and find out." Mandalay shouted.
She ran ahead of her team with them following in tow. As the traveled the blue light faded away. Eventually they arrived were the light had touched down. Once there they stood face to face with a man in an American inspired outfit. Surrounding him were smoldering pieces of metal.
"Who are you?" Mandalay asked.
The woman with red hair had spoken something to Rogers. However, he didn't understand it. She was speaking what he assumed was Japanese, not that he spoke any.
"Do you have anyone who speaks english?" Rogers asked.
The red-haired girl confidently stepped forward.
"I'll ask again, in english this time. Who are you?" she asked.
Despite being somewhat shocked that this woman knew english, Steve retained his composer.
"I'm Captain America," He answered.
"Alright then Captain," She expressed in a somewhat condescending tone. "Next question was it your quirk that caused that blue light to come crashing down."
The Captain gave the woman a perplexed looked.
"The heck's a quirk. That blue beam of light was from something called the tesseract. It carried me here. For what reason I can't say." Rogers answered.
The woman only looked on Rogers with distrust. Who is this guy? He claims he doesn't know what quirks are and that he got here by something called a tesseract. I'm not buying it.
"You should have come up with a better story than that, I'm not buying it." She replied.
"I'm telling you the truth." He asserted.
"Still playing this game huh?" She replied. "Enough talk, we'll force the truth out of you. Pusshīkyattsu, yuko!(Pussycats, let's go!)"
The group of four charged at Rogers without hesitation. The Captain backed up slightly.
"Hey wait I don't want to fight!" He pleaded.
The large man took the lead. He launch a powerful punch were Rogers was. However the Captain was quick to jump and roll out of the way. He quickly he grabbed his shield from his back. As quickly has he got up he was attacked by the blond and redhead. They each slash with the claws on their gloves. Cap blocks with his shield and forces them off. Before he can do anything else he feels his feet get pulled out from other him. He looks to see the man has extend out his arms and have them wrapped around his leg. The brown-haired man began to pulling Rogers towards him. Thinking quickly Cap throws his shield at the large man, nailing square in the face. The man retracted his arms and held his face in pain. The shield bounce around back to the Captain. He grabbed it as he rose back to his feet.
Meanwhile…
Many civilians gathered around to see the fight. One was a large hooded dog man. He was a recently escaped villain known as Ravager. He took notice of the Pussycats fight with the mysterious blue clad man. He smiled as he knew this would be a good opportunity to get revenge on the hero team that locked him up. He quietly sneaked around and waited for his moment to strike.
Steve had little time to rest as the blond and the redhead were quick to resumed their assault. With near perfect coordination they keeped Cap on the defensive. As they did this the Captain failed to notice the green-haired one sneak around to his back.
"Hey stop we don't need to fight!" He shouted.
Suddenly from behind he hears someone leap towards him. In the nick of time he is able dodged the young woman's attack. He countered by throwing her into her teammates, sending all of them flying back.
"Alright screw it then." he muttered.
"Anata wa watashi no chīmumēto o kizutsukeru!(You hurt my teammates!)" He heard bellowed from his side.
Cap ducked under the man's punch and delivered a strong punch to his opponents gut. He followed up with an uppercut to the jaw before throwing him over his shoulder. Immediately he was attacked by the blond. Cap pivoted out the way, spun around, and slammed his shield into her face sending her flying and knocking her out. The next attacker was the green-haired girl. She slashed at the Captain only for it to blocked by his shield. Cap counter with a knee to her gut before kicking her away. Immediately he was charged by the redhead. She sent two slashes simultaneously at Rogers. Cap blocked it with his shield. The were locked there the Captain not giving an inch and the redhead not backing off.
"Please stop, we don't need to keep fighting! We can talk this out!" Rogers shouted.
"You really think I'm willing to talk to you, after what you did to my friends!" The redhead shouted, her voice filled with rage.
As they struggled. Steve noticed a large rabid dog man come charging at them. His eyes were fixated on the redhead. Realizing that she wouldn't believe him if he said anything, Rogers threw the woman out of the way before the dog man could attack her. Quickly, he slammed the edge of his shield into the man's jaw. The dog man was instantly knocked unconscious as he crashed into the ground. Breathing heavy he looked down at the now shock redhead. He went over to her and lent a hand to help her up.
"Believe me now?" He asked.
The shock on her face turned to a slight smile.
"Believe… no," She answered curtly. "But I at least trust you aren't a villain."
She took hold of his hand as he pulled her up.
"If you want me to believe you then let us take you to the police station. We have a hero whose quirk can tell if someone is telling the truth." She explained.
Cap chuckled. He placed his shield on his back.
"Lead the way." He stated.
20 minutes later, at the Police station…
Captain America set down on one side of a table with his shield and helmet on it. His wrists was being grasp by a man in a white jumpsuit with a yellow cap. Around the man's eyes was a black mask. On his head was a yellow fedora with a white question mark on it. This hero's name was Mr. Truth and his quirk, Lie detector, could ascertain whether someone was telling the truth or not so long as he was in directed contact with the subjects skin when they answered a question.
To the side of Mr. Truth was Mandalay, who would ask the questions given she could speak english. She looked to Mr. Truth who nodded to show he was ready.
"Alright let's start with your real name." She questioned.
"Steven Grant Rogers, I go by Steve normally." Cap answered.
Mandalay looked to Mr. Truth who only nodded.
"Alright then next, where are you from?" She asked.
"New York, specifically Brooklyn." He answered.
She looked to Mr. Truth who only nodded.
"That explains the name Captain America at least. Next your story, specifically how you got here?" She asked.
"I was piloting an aircraft known as a Valkyrie. It was carrying a deadly pay load and my only option was to put her down in the water. As It was about to crash a blue beam of light, which I assumed came from a object known as the tesseract, carried me to this world." He answered.
Again Mandalay looked to Mr. Truth who nodded.
"So you weren't lying back there then." She noted. "That also means you don't know what quirks are?"
"That's correct." Steve replied.
"Alright then…" She expressed with confusion.
She pondered over this for a bit.
"Anyways you can go now Mr. Truth I think I can trust this guy." She stated.
Mr. Truth only nodded before getting up from his chair and leaving. As he did Steve let out a sigh of relief. Mandalay giggled at this.
"Seems like somes able to relax now." She observed.
"Yeah, well being believed is a good first step." He pointed out.
"Fair point," She replied. "Hey ummm… sorry about attacking you back there."
"Please, there's no need to apologize it was just a big misunderstanding. Besides I should apologize for being a little rough with your teammates." He replied.
"There's no need, you we're just defending yourself." She assured him. "Speaking of which, for a normal person you're pretty strong."
Steve began to chuckle lightly.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
"Well I may not have one of these quirks you speak of, but that doesn't exactly make me normal." Steve answered.
"Oh really now, do tell." She pried.
"Well you see back in my world I was a test subject for a super soldier experiment in the US Military." He explained. "As a result of the serum I received, I went from a scrawny 94 pound man to this."
He gestured to himself.
"Hahaha… really a super soldier serum?" She expressed with a giggle.
"What you don't believe me. Do you want Mr. Truth to come in and tell you if I'm lying or not." He replied.
"No, no, no, I believe you it's just… well… hard to believe." She expressed.
"Well given that your technology seems far ahead of mine, I find it hard to believe we managed it." Steve pointed out.
To this Mandalay let out a slight giggle.
"Anyways, come on we should go back out. I have some explaining to do to my team." She directed.
Steve got up from the chair. He picked up his shield and but in on his back. Then took hold of his helmet in his hand. After this Mandalay lead him out of the interrogation room and down a hallway.
"By the way what we're am I going to stay here, it's not like I have any money on me." Steve pointed out.
"That's true… I'll think of something and run it by my team." She replied.
"Thanks, oh… by the way I never asked, what city am I in right now?" Steve inquired.
"Oh right, You're in Tokyo Japan." She answered.
"I see, long way from home then." He stated.
With their conversation finished Mandalay began to mull over Steve's predicament. As she lead Steve into the front room of the police station, an idea came to her. The rest of the pussycats were waiting out there. Seeing them walking towards them, they themselves walk up to them. Rogers stood back as Mandalay went up to talk to her team.
"Well… what's the verdict." Pixie-Bob asked.
"It seems he's trustworthy, the whole fight was really caused by a big misunderstanding between me and him." She expressed with a bit of embarrassment.
Mandalay then went on to explain Rogers current situation.
"Oh… well now I feel kinda bad for attacking him." Pixie-Bob expressed.
"Yeah I felt the same but he also felt bad for betting us up so we're even now I guess." She replied. "Anyways I want to talk to you guys about something."
"What is it?" Ragdoll asked.
"Well I was thinking, since he's basically a stranger in this land I figured we could give him each other a helping hand." Mandalay explained. "We help him get adjusted to this world with a job at our agency as a Hero and then he could help us with our investigation."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tiger asked.
"I think so, we know first hand how good of a fighter he is. On top of that he seems to have a sharp mind." Mandalay expressed. "I think he's just what we need."
"I don't have a problem with it." Pixie-Bob. "Just be sure to see if he's okay with it."
"Don't worry I know." Mandalay replied.
"There's also the problem of where he'll stay it's not like he has money for an apartment or knows Japanese." Ragdoll pointed out.
"Well he could stay at my place for the time being. Given I know English it makes the most sense." Mandalay reasoned.
"I'm still not sure we can trust this man." Tiger stated. "However I trust your judgement."
"Thanks Tiger, what do you all think?" She asked.
"Seems like a good idea to me." Pixie-Bob replied.
"I think he'll be a great help so I'm fine with it." Ragdoll replied.
"Alright I'll tell him the good news." She stated before turning back to Rogers.
"So?" He simply asked.
"I think we have idea that will work out for all parties involved." She stated. "We'll give you a place to stay and help you adjust to this world. In return you become a Hero and help us at our agency. Deal?"
Mandalay held out her hand. Rogers simply smiled. He grabbed hold of it and shock it.
"When do I start?" he asked.
Two months later…
All the Pussycats we're gathered around a table with a map of their city district on it. The map was marked at various location. As they were discussing various topics they heard the door open. They looked to see Captain America enter the room. He smiled as he looked around the room. He took a spot around the table.
"You ready Captain?" Mandalay asked.
"Let's begin." He replied.
