A couple of weeks has passed. At the mansion, Dominic was in the Training Complex nervously walking around wearing an all-black training suit that Imani made. "Is there something wrong?" CT asked. "This is really gonna be a test for me," Dominic said to himself. "Anything could go wrong. I could lead them the wrong way. But you can't show them how doubtful you are right now. They need somebody to look up to and that person happens to be me." "Mr. Middleton," CT said. "I think you will be quite alright. There's nothing to be nervous about." "I don't know CT. We'll see." Jeffrey, Imani, and Darrell walked into the Training Complex also wearing the same training suit that Dominic had. "What's up y'all." Dominic said. "Hey Dom." Jeffrey said. "Imani, thanks again for the suits you designed." Dominic said. "Oh, it was no problem at all," Imani said. "I'm still working on the other thing too." "No rush." "So, is this finally our team session?" Darrell asked. "It is." Dominic responded. "Oh cool," Jeffrey said. "Should be fun." "You never know." Darrell said with a shrug. Jeffrey then looked at Darrell with a bitter look. "Alright y'all," Dominic said. "I've been training y'all individually for the past couple weeks and we're finally here. Our first team session together. This session might not go how we want to but there's always room to improve." "The suits we have on are our basic training outfits," Imani said. "Each suit is designed and operated differently based on our powers, but all have come with unstable molecules and little bit of armor on each." "How is this training session gonna go?" Jeffrey asked. "Who knows?" Darrell replied. "CT." Dominic said. "Setting up the session now." CT responded. The Training Complex then turned into Times Square. Jeffrey, Darrell, and Imani looked around as they stood there in excitement. "This is awesome." Jeffrey said. "Location, Times Square," CT said. "Your mission will be to save the civilians trapped in different buildings around Times Square. With this mission, you will also have to defeat the robots that are all around this area." "Really?" Darrell asked. "What's wrong?" Imani asked. "Robots?" "They aren't just your typical robots Darrell," CT said. "Some may appear to be easy but most of them will you give a challenge." "Everybody have their communicators?" Dominic asked. "Yeah." replied everyone else. All of them put their communicators on and were ready for their first session together. "CT, I think we're ready." Dominic said. "You may begin now." CT said. Suddenly, robots started appearing out of nowhere from all ends. Everybody looked around at the robots coming towards them from in front and behind. "Jeffrey and I will take the front end," Dominic said. "Imani and Darrell. Take the back. Dominic started running towards the robots while Jeffrey turned into his fiery form and hovered in the air. Dominic turned invisible and the robots stopped for running. Jeffrey then started throwing fireballs at robots creating a distraction for Dominic. The robots started firing their guns at Jeffrey, but he was dodging them. Then, Dominic started attacking the robots hand to hand while he was still invisible. The robots were trying to spot him, but they couldn't find him as he started attacking them one by one. Imani was in her diamond form attacking the robots with her grabbing them and then she threw them in air and threw a car right at them while still the air. Darrell was holding back from his powers as he was attacking the robots hand to hand. A robot then grabbed him and threw him against a car. "Darrell!" Imani yelled. She ran to the robot that attacked him and picked it up and ripped it in half. After that, she walked over to Darrell to help him up. "Why aren't you using your powers?" Imani asked. "Because." Darrell responded. "Because why?" Imani asked. A couple robots were then running towards them, but Jeffrey saved them at the last second by coming behind him and burning the robot's head off. "Y'all okay?" Jeffrey asked. "Yeah." Imani said. "Guys," Dominic said over his communicator. "A little help would be appreciated. I'm inside one of the stores over here north of us. Get here fast." "On our way," Imani said. "Let's go." Jeffrey grabbed Imani and Darrell and started flying over to where Dominic was at. They got to the store and helped Dominic attacked the robots. As Dominic was attacking robots, he yelled out, "Imani! The civilians are in the back of this place. We need you to get the civilians. You're our strongest one." Imani defeated the last group of robots that were attacking her and ran to the back of the store. She got to the back and saw that 10 robots were guarding the civilians that were tied up. All the robots then jumped on Imani to make sure she didn't save the civilians. She was struggling to break free of the robots. But she kicked her legs up and threw a couple robots off her. She jumped back up and was free of the robots' control. She grabbed one of the robots, ripped it in half, and started attacking the rest of the robots using the robot she ripped up as weapons. She defeated the robots and ran to the civilians to free them. As she was untying them, one of the civilians said, "Thank you! Thank you!" The civilians then ran out of the store to find a safe place to hide. As she watched them run to a safe place, she had a look on her face. "Maybe, this is what Dominic was talking about." she said to herself. She ran back to her teammates to complete the next objective. "Next set of civilians is on top of Hotel Carter." Dominic said. They ran outside and Dominic put a force field around everyone and started flying to Hotel Carter. They got to Hotel Carter and the robots started shooting at the team. Luckily, Dominic's force field was reflecting the blasts of the guns. Dominic then popped up a force field underneath some of the robots that sent them flying the air. They landed on the roof and started attacking the robots. Dominic saw the group of civilians and turned invisible. He quietly ran to the civilians and freed the civilians. "Hang on." Dominic said. He put a force field over the civilians and telekinetically flew them down to the ground in a safe place. After he did that, he rejoined his team in battle to finish off the robots. Darrell was finally using his powers as he was taking out the robots with ease. Jeffrey threw a fireball at one of the robots, but the robot dodged it. The fireball hit Darrell on his chest. "Hey man what the hell was that for?!" he yelled. "I swear it was an accident." Jeffrey said. Luckily, Darrell was unharmed from the fireball thrown at him, but he telekinetically picked up a robot and threw it straight at Jeffrey knocking him down. Surprised at what he did, Jeffrey quickly got up and yelled, "Are you serious?!" "Maybe if you have some good aim that wouldn't have happened." Darrell responded. "You know what your problem is Darrell?" Jeffrey said while walking up to him. "Tell me." Darrell said in a snarky tone. Jeffrey got up in Darrell's face and said, "Your problem is…" "First of all, you can back the fuck up out of my face Jeff." "Or what?" As they continued to argue, Imani and Dominic were still fighting off robots. "Where the others?" Dominic asked. "I don't know." Imani said. As they finished fighting off the robots, they saw that Jeffrey and Darrell were in an all-out fist brawl. "Are you serious?" Imani asked. Dominic aggressively walked towards the brawl between them and telekinetically separated them using his force fields. "What they hell is y'all damn problem?!" he yelled. "This man started it!" Darrell yelled. "And I told you it was an accident!" Jeffrey responded. They started yelling across from each other and Dominic started getting frustrated. "SHUT UP!" Dominic screamed. As soon as he screamed that, Times Square turned into the normal Training Complex. Dominic ceased his two force fields from Darrell and Jeffrey and stormed out of the Training Complex. "This is bullshit." Darrell said. After that, he started walking out of the complex. "Darrell, wait!" Imani said. He was already out of the complex. Imani turned around to Jeffrey and asked, "What the hell happened?" "I told him it was an accident," Jeffrey said. "I tried to throw a fireball at one of the robots and the robot dodged it and it hit Darrell." "I'm sure he knows it was an accident." "Well he didn't." Jeffrey started looking around and asked, "You know Imani, what if Darrell was right?" "About what?" "About us being heroes. With everything he said. We don't know what being a superhero is about." "You know how Darrell is Jeff," Imani said. "He's been negative ever since we got here. Something's going on with him." "But do you think we're really up for this?" "I don't know. But I had a moment in that session. After saving those first set of civilians, I thought back to what Dominic told me when I first met him. He made me realize that anyone can be a hero. You just got to put your mind to it. So, don't let Darrell get to your head alright?" "I got you." "Good, let me know if you need anything. I'm going to the lab."

Dominic was in the kitchen drinking a glass of water with a disappointed look on his face. "I should've known something was gonna go wrong." He sat his glass down and sat in a chair. He put his hands over his face and started crying. "I knew I wasn't cut out for something like this. I should've told Uncle Nick no and remained an Avenger. Things were a little bit easier there." He sat there for a couple minutes staring at his glass. "Dominic, it appears you have a guest at your doorstep." CT said. "Who?" Dominic asked. "One of the Avengers." Dominic quickly wiped his tears away and said, "Let him or her in please." "Yes sir." Dominic heard the guest walk in and he said, "In the kitchen." Suddenly, T'Challa walked in with much delight to Dominic. "T'Challa." Dominic said excitedly. "Hello Dominic." T'Challa said. They walked up to each other and gave each other a hug. "How are you man?" Dominic asked. "I'm doing well," T'Challa responded. "How are you my brother?" "I'm… "I'm…" "What's wrong?" Dominic mood changed from happy to disappointment with him thinking about the training session he just had with his team. "I just had this training session with everyone," Dominic said. "It was our very first one. And it just went wrong." "Well what happened?" "This fight between Jeff and Darrell just happened out of nowhere and I tried to stop it. But I just got so frustrated with them, so I just abruptly ended the session and I stormed out. Plus, we couldn't complete the mission, so I'm highly pissed about that." "Hey, it's you guys' first session together. Nothing is gonna go perfect. Of course, you're gonna have some mistakes. And when it happens, you just gotta move on from it." "And it's not just that," Dominic said while he took a seat. "I've been asking myself this since the first day I got here. I ask myself, 'Did I make the right decision?' Cause this is a huge step I ain't plan on taking. I ain't plan on becoming a leader of a superhero team. I look at you, Steve, Carol, Sam, and the others and I know I can't be as great as y'all. Especially a person and hero like you. I mean you are the leader of the Avengers and the king of Wakanda. I mean is this right for me? T'Challa, maybe I think I should go back to the Avengers." "Let's not be so quick to give up." T'Challa said. He took a seat next to Dominic and said, "Now look. I know you. I know how you are as a person. I know how you are as a hero. And to me, I think you being a leader was a great decision. I've seen you grow through the years as my teammate. I saw from the start that you had great leadership qualities. And you still do. You just don't realize it yet. And who said you had to be a leader exactly like the rest of us. You be your own leader. Make your own rules." T'Challa put his hand on Dominic's shoulder and said, "Not everything is gonna go perfect your first go 'round. You're gonna have a few bumps here and there but that's just how it goes. Everyone mistakes. I make mistakes and yes there are gonna be some consequences you're gonna have to face. But that's what being a leader is about. Nobody is ever a perfect leader. Don't beat yourself up kid." "Still calling me a kid after all these years huh," Dominic asked while laughing. "But you're right." "I know I am." "Dang, you sound just like my uncle." They both laughed. "Hey look," T'Challa said. "Know that you aren't alone. Don't be afraid to ask for help. I know that when becoming a leader, you think that you need to have all the answers. Sometimes you don't. And that's why you have a team to help you out. Never forget you always got the Avengers to count on for anything. But most importantly, you got your team. Your team is always gonna be there for you no matter what." "Thanks, T'Challa." Dominic said. They both gave each other a hug and T'Challa said, "I got something for you and your team." They both walked to the front door and T'Challa gave him a gift wrapped up. "What is this?" Dominic asked. "Open it." T'Challa responded. Dominic opened the gift and was shocked to see that T'Challa gave him and his team vibranium. "T'Challa," Dominic said. "You're giving me this? You just don't give this to anyone." "I know. Just think about what you can do with it. Let me know if you need more or anything else. See ya Dom." T'Challa walked out and Dominic stared at the vibranium. "Well let's see what I can do with this."

Imani, who changed into a t-shirt and shorts, was down in the lab finishing her little project she came up with. Then, Dominic walks in with the vibranium in his hand. Imani turns around and says, "Hey." "I got a surprise for you." Dominic said. He handed her the vibranium and her eyes lit up with excitement. "Is this what I think it is?" she asked. "Vibranium. At your service." he responded. "How… How did you get this?" "Now you know I know people Imani." "I know but still." "I still have a little vibranium left in my room. Use this one to weave into our suits." "That's a good idea. That will make our suits nearly invincible." "Maybe." Dominic laughs. "I know it doesn't make you totally invincible, but it has its advantages." "I'll get right on this." Imani said. "Thanks." As Dominic was beginning to walk out, Imani ran up to him and asked, "Are you okay? You know from earlier?" Dominic let out a sigh and said, "Yeah. I'm a lot better from earlier. I just needed to breathe if you know what I mean." "Yeah yeah I get it. Just thought you might needed someone to talk to." "Oh no, I'm all good now. I kinda talked with someone. Not that I'm trying to make you feel bad or anything, it's just…" "Was it one of the Avengers?" Dominic sighed and said, "Yeah." "Hey, I'm not mad at you. I know they're family to you and they mean a lot. And it may not seem like it now, but we got your back too. Even through all the mess ups and failures. We're human. So, don't beat yourself up for what happened back there. Don't give up on yourself. I'm not giving up on you either." "T'Challa was telling me the same thing." "That's who you were talking too huh?" "Yeah." "And that's how you got the vibranium?" "Right as you are, Imani." Dominic said with a smile. They both smiled at each other and Imani walked up to him and gave him hug. Confused, Dominic asked her, "What was that for?" "I had a moment during the training session," Imani said. "Remember when we first talked? At Harvard?" "Yeah of course." "After I saved those civilians, I thought about what you said to me. About changing lives and everything. And, I never thought I could be doing something like that. I know it wasn't real but still. It just felt… good you know? Like, this isn't something I thought about doing but I think this might be something I want to do." "I'm glad you think that. I already know there's a great hero inside you." Dominic smiled at her and walked out the lab.
