Day 13: Outfit Swap (with any character)

Aaaaand I choose Ironstrange!

Why? Pff, beats me.

These next days are going to be a huge pain, so please excuse my writing for this one.


Jaden's ideas for a date were really something else.

Whereas Chazz would have gone for something simple like a dinner date, Jaden was all about action – theme parks, bungee jumping, jet ski, that sort of stuff.

It didn't even feel like a date most of the time, there wasn't time for passionate kisses, declarations of love or soft touches when you were thousands of meters above the ground and already completely scared or when you were being surrounded by massive groups of people who all wanted to attend the same theme park.

Yes, dating the brunette was clearly a commitment that you could only endure if you truly loved Jaden.

Which Chazz did, so he put up with the whole social stuff even if it wasn't his cup of tea.

But from time to time, there was an idea that combined both of their interests and those dates were always the ones both parties got the most enjoyment out of.

Today was no different.

Jaden, being the big fan of superheroes that he was, had wanted to attend another theme park centered around the Avengers, but Chazz who was much more interested in Domino's museum about history and art had persuaded him to go there with him instead since the museum also had a department dedicated to the Avengers.

Or... more specifically, their clothing which had Jaden even more excited than the theme park itself, simply because it was real.

''Do you think we can try it on?'', he asked, practically jumping up and down in front of the glass case containing the Iron Man suit.

''Obviously yes. I mean, what other reason is there for it to be in a glass case?''

Jaden pouted, having picked up on the obvious sarcasm. ''Alright, I admit that was a stupid question.''

''Stupid? Try 'downright ludicrous'.''

He shook his head, about to turn around and look for the department about the history of Duel Monsters when he suddenly noticed someone approaching them.

''You're interested in the suit?''

''Yeah, it looks so incredibly cool!'', Jaden exclaimed, then stopped to examine the person closer.

They seemed like staff, but he couldn't be entirely sure.

''Do you work here? Did you meet Tony Stark? Did he say anything about how it feels to be inside that thing? Is it true that the suit has an artificial intelligence build into it?''

Chazz tried to catch the staff member's gaze to apologize for his hyperactive boyfriend, but to his surprise the man laughed and made a sign for the two to follow him.

''You should see for yourself.''

'See for yourself?'

The brunette had an idea where this was going and his eyes lit up in joy as he dashed through the museum to catch up to the staff member.

Chazz wasn't that invested in following some stranger he'd never met before, but he supposed he should keep an eye on the situation, just to make sure Jaden didn't do anything stupid.

Once they had reached their destination, a warehouse behind the museum, the staff member paused before opening the door, presumably for some sort of dramatic effect.

''When Mr. Stark donated one of his suits to this museum, he told us to keep some more stored in the warehouse, in case somebody wanted to try them out.''

He slowly pushed against the door and flicked the lights on to reveal an enormous hall in front of them with suits lined up left and right.

Jaden squealed and immediately rushed inside, inspecting each and every suit before deciding on the most recent one as his test object.

''Can someone help me?''

While the staff member explained to him how he got inside the suit, Chazz used the time to have a look around and search for anything else of interest since he wasn't keen on getting inside one of these things.

There was a closet in the corner of the hall and he stepped closer, already feeling some kind of magical aura around it.

Well, if it was magic, he had a clue what was inside of here...

He reached out and opened the closet, catching sight of a blue cloak on a coat hanger.

''That is Doctor Strange's first cloak of levitation'', the man explained while still helping Jaden. ''It has minor abilities and spells woven into it, but of course, it's nothing compared to his current cloak.''

Chazz nodded in understanding, gripping the cloak and letting the material run through his fingers.

It was tempting to try it on...

''May I?''

''Be my guest.''

After another moment of hesitation, he removed his black coat and put the cloak on instead.

It was very comfortable to wear and made his body tingle in a good way, probably because of its magic.

''Jaden, how do I look?''

Jaden had somehow managed to get inside the suit (which was way too big but whatever) and was now trying to activate the artificial intelligence, but he still glanced over at the question aimed at him.

''Hot.''

Chazz grinned. ''I thought I was already hot?''

''Hotter.''

He managed to press something and the entire inside of the suit lit up, just as a British voice began to talk.

''Allow me to introduce myself.

I am JARVIS, a virtual artificial intelligence, and I am here to assist you with a variety of tasks as best I can. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Importing all preferences from home interface.

Systems are now fully operational.''

''Oh my god, that's amazing!'', Jaden cheered while he attempted to move. ''This was the best idea ever, Chazz! How do I fly? How do I shoot?''

He raised his arm experimentally, focusing on one part of the wall in front of him and to his surprise, it actually worked and he was able to shoot a hole through the wall without problem.

''Sweetness!''

Chazz watched him from his spot near the closet, floating cross-legged in the air after having found out how to get the cloak to levitate.

He was clearly amused about this whole situation.

Dates with Jaden were really something else.


Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away at Duel Academy:

''What do I do with this?'' Tony skipped through the cards he had found, getting more irritated by the second. ''Is that Japanese? I can't read this!''

Originally, he had thought those were some cards for poker, but after looking at them once or twice more, they seemed like trading cards.

And superheroes nonetheless.

He skipped a few more cards, suddenly stopping when his gaze trailed over a golden creature with edges as wings and a suspicious resemblance to his Iron Man suits.

He shook his head and set the deck of cards back on the table, feeling his clothes cut into his skin.

The blazer he was wearing was incredibly uncomfortable and too tight, but he hadn't found anything else in the room that he could have changed into, so it had to do.

From outside, he heard someone whisper, followed by a loud thunderclap, so he opened the window, immediately spotting one of his accomplices standing on the grass in front of the building.

''Strange! What are you doing?''

Stephen turned to him, dressed in a black coat. ''I have discovered something fascinating. Watch.''

Tony leaned against the window while Stephen very silently called out something that sounded like 'Manjoume Thunder'.

The sky reacted instantly with a flash of lightning across the horizon before brightening again.

''We have to study this place, Tony.''

''It's probably just Thor, let's be honest here.''
