Izuku had adjusted to his life working as part of the Project Pegasus security. Izuku had gotten pretty close with Clint and Collison during the past few months. Izuku couldn't help comparing himself to Collison since they both had an idol who were very similar. Collison seemed really interested in Izuku's analyst books which he had brought along. Izuku, Clint, Selvig, and Collison would talk about the heroes of his world for hours.
"So, Midoriya been thinking about your callsign at all?" Collison asked. "I know that you and Clint have been talking it over."
"Yeah. I'm still torn between "One for All" and "Deku"."
"I think "One for All" suits you more. You already give that air of willing to sacrifice everything for everyone, but that's just my opinion." Collison said.
"Maybe, but for now it's just Agent Midoriya."
"Well better have it before you meet Stark." The older agent warned.
"Why?"
"He gives people pet names." Collison informed.
"Really what's yours?"
"Don't know actually. Never stuck around long enough to see if he gave me one." Collison said. Izuku nodded then his visor pointed out something falling from a high shelf as the walked through the warehouse as short cut back to the labs from the main complex. Izuku activated black whip catching the falling objects wowing everyone. Izuku easily placed the fallen objects in their place and made sure that they wouldn't fall again.
"Thanks Agent Midoriya." Said the Agent that was going to crushed if it wasn't for him.
"No problem." Izuku answered cheerfully.
Izuku was with Selvig talking a bit more about his world when suddenly one of the monitors went off. Selvig rushed over noticing spikes in the tesseract's behavior. Izuku using the visor analyzed the information.
"We need to call for an evacuation." Said Izuku. "I know that I don't know all of this tesseract stuff, but from what I'm seeing we need to call for an evacuation."
"You're right." Selvig said after getting a better look at the information before him. "Agent Midoriya contact Collison."
"Right away." Izuku said putting two fingers up to the commlink in his hear. "Collison, this is Midoriya in the labs. The tesseract is misbehaving and given the readings, Selvig is going to try and keep it under control but we need to call for an evacuation of the facility now."
"Copy that Midoriya." Said Collison. "You and Barton stay there with Selvig I'll handle the evacuation and radio Fury."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Understood."
"And Midoriya keep your distance from that thing, will you?"
"No need to worry sir." Izuku said touched by Collison's concern. Izuku then looked over to the far upper corner of the room knowing that Barton was there watching them. "Clint,"
"I heard kid don't worry."
"Making sure. I'm going to secure the entry/exit and wait for Fury."
"Good idea. Make sure not to let anyone in."
"Copy." Izuku said walking toward the entrance of the labs. Izuku stood directly in front of the door with the labs on the other side. With his hands clapped behind his back he stood attentively. Noticing a binging on his visor reminding him that earlier today he had connected his visor to his phone.
Mouse Dad:
Midoriya, sorry for the loss in contact but I have been busy with the new first years.
How are things with SHIELD?
Has that team come together yet?
Green Bean:
It's okay Principal Nedzu.
Things are SHIELD are okay.
And no, the team hasn't come together just yet.
But unfortunately, we'll have to cut this conversation short.
There's be a situation at lab and I am working as security for.
Mouse Dad:
I see.
Best of luck Midoriya.
I expect you to contact me immediately after the situation as passed.
Green Bean:
Understood.
I will.
Izuku smiled seeing Nedzu wish him luck. It made him feel better. Izuku shook his head and took a deep breath and waited for Fury to arrive.
"I knew that tesseract was no good!" Shouted the voice of Daigoro.
"We all figured that. I just hope that Selvig can get it back under control." Said the voice of Shigaraki.
"We're just going to have to wait and see." Said firm male voice.
"I hate waiting in a situation like this." Said an outrage male.
"Oh, we know honey." Giggled the youthful female. "We know."
For the past few hours, the tesseract had been causing quakes rumbling through the area. Izuku felt his anxiety pick up as he radioed Collison a few times to ask how the evacuation was going hoping it would calm his nerves.
"Director!" Izuku saluted.
"At ease Agent Midoriya." Fury said. "What's the situation?"
"That's a question for Selvig." Izuku stepped to the side and followed Fury inside. "Since the tesseract's strange behavior no one as come in or out."
"Agent Barton?"
"He's been up in the upper far corner of the room. Doubt he's moved since this started."
"Good work Midoriya."
"Thank you, sir." Midoriya said.
"Talk to me doctor." Fury ordered looking at Selvig.
"Seriously I feel like I'm watching a moive."
"I know right? So surreal."
"Guys! This is a possible life or death situation focus!"
"We've repaired for this doctor," Fury said. "Harnessing energy from space."
"We don't have the harness. Our calculations are far from complete. Now, she's throwing off interference, radiation. Nothing harmful, low levels of gamma radiation."
"That could be harmful." Fury said hearing the word gamma. Izuku also stilled after Collison had given him a reading on Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk. Just thinking about the Hulk worried Izuku. Izuku heard Fury call Barton down from his little nest in the far upper corner of the room as Izuku watched the tesseract.
"I remember giving you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things." Fury said to Clint was they walked over to Izuku.
"I see better from a distance." Clint replied.
"Have either of you seen anything that would set this thing off?" Fury asked including Izuku in the conversation.
"No one's come or gone. It's oven is clean. No contacts, no I.M.'s. If there was any tampering, sir, it wasn't at this end." Clint said.
"This end?" Repeated Fury.
"The tesseract is believed to open gateways to other places, right?" Asked Izuku. "Doors and gates open both ways. My worry right now is who is on the other side trying to come here."
"That's everyone's worry." Clint commented. Izuku notices the horror all over Selvig's face as he types away on a keyboard. Izuku had a good idea of that the face was for. The tesseract begins powering up and sends thunder and shakes through the facility. The small blue cube begins to flare rings around it and shines brightly as it builds into a beam that hits the end of a platform that is wired to the CMS device. The beam transforms into a vortex which changed into a portal nearly seconds later. Using his visor Izuku could see it. the blackness of space, beautiful and mysterious, strewn with a billion stars appears and a gust of blue energy clouds fill the room, blinding everyone. The access energy of the tesseract swirls into a cloud sitting on the roof of the lab. The amount of silence was unsettling as its broken by heavy breathing. SHIELD Agents slowly approach the platform with guns drawn. Izuku activates black whip getting ready for a confrontation seeing smoke coming off an unknown figure. As the smoke clears it's a man. About mid-twenties, black hair slicked back, wearing green colored clothing and he had a spear of some kind in his hand.
"Sir, please put down the spear!" Fury ordered.
"Something tells me he's got gonna listen."
The man looks at Fury then thrusts his spear at him. The spear emits a blue blast. Izuku works quickly and tackles Fury and Clint to the ground barely missing the blast. Getting to his knees Izuku is in horror to see that unknown man has taken out a few of the Agents. The ones who faced him laid dead on the ground. In his rage Izuku recalls black whip capturing the man as he is about to strike another Agent.
"That's enough." Izuku muttered darkly holding the man.
"You have heart." Loki said suddenly breaking free from Black Whip and placed his spear on Izuku's chest.
"Oh shit!"
"What's that spear doing!?"
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" Izuku felt himself black out for a moment. What was going on? Why couldn't he move? As the man moved to Clint doing the same thing he and Fury spoke.
"Young Midoriya." Shigaraki spoke.
"Young Midoriya." Spoke a multitude of voices. Izuku could feel them standing right behind him. "You're not alone. Fight. FIGHT!" During this Izuku's fingers began to emit One for All. His arm rose up to the obvious man that had taken over him. As the man moved between him and Fury, Izuku flicked his fingers and snapped out of the trance he was in.
"Clint?" Izuku looked over and barely dodged a bullet. Izuku rolled over to Fury as the man slowly began to stand back up.
"How?" Growled the man.
"I got a few guardians angels on my side." Izuku snot. Looking at Fury who was behind him he asked, "So what did I miss?"
"His name is Loki. He's got at least half of the agents he didn't kill under some kind of control." Fury summed up.
"What's the plan?"
"Working on it." Fury said as Loki gained control of Selvig. Izuku easily saw that it was the spear's doing. Maybe, if he could get that spear and break it the control would be broken. Izuku began calculating plans however the unstable energy above them as different plans. The possessed Selvig confirms that the portal is going to bring the roof down. Loki responds by knocking both Fury and Izuku off their feet. Izuku quickly get back on his feet and fights his follow agents. Izuku dodges bullet after bullet trying to get closer as Loki and the possessed Agents, Clint, and Selvig escape. Izuku takes a bullet to the shoulder and falls backward. He groans as he tries to get back up, thankful to that the suit was made to be bullet proof.
"Director!" Izuku scurries toward him. Noticing the knife Izuku pulls it out and Fury places his hand over it.
"Midoriya get after them!" Fury orders. Izuku nods reluctantly and chases after Loki and the others.
Izuku used One for All to enhance his speed and climb to were Loki and the others where. He placed to fingers on his commlink and said, "Agent Hill is Agent Midoriya, Agent Barton has been compromised. I repeat Agent Barton has been compromised!" He arrived two minutes after the call seeing them drive off. Izuku used black whip instantly grabbing the tires of the car. Loki shot at him making him dodge and wither his grip on the car. Hill fired her gun but had to dodge Loki's attack. Clint then shot making Izuku let go of the car. The sped off as Izuku and Hill jumped into the other car.
"Here." Hill said handing him a gun.
"I don't want to kill them. They're still our comrades." Izuku said glaring at the gun.
"I'm not saying to shot them aim for the tires." She explained. Izuku reluctantly took the gun and fired. During this Loki fires at the tunnel causing a cave in. Izuku holds on using black whip to try and fling the rocks out of the way as Hill swerves the car to a halt as the end of the jeep gets trapped preventing them from moving.
"Hill!" Izuku exclaims worried reaching out to her. He places his hand on her as she wakes up and pushes herself off the steering wheel.
"You good Midoriya?" She asked.
"Minor head injury nothing to worry about." He said with a smile. "But they got away…"
"We'll get them." She said firmly.
"Director? Director Fury, do you copy?" Asked Collison over the coms.
"The tesseract with the hostile force. I have men down. Hill? Midoriya?"
"Still alive sir." Midoriya answered. "Loki caused a cave in the tunnels. There's no telling how many are trapped."
"Put out a general call. I want every living soul not working rescue looking for that briefcase." Fury ordered.
"Rodger." Hill answered over the walkie-talkie.
"Collison get back to base. This is a level seven." Fury said. "As of right now. We are at war."
As much as Izuku wanted to help with search and rescue Fury had him return to base with him and Collison. Once Izuku got back he decided now would be a good time to inform Nedzu that he was okay.
"How am I going to tell him…?" Izuku wondered aloud. "Well I guess I can be honest without going into detail. That should work."
Green Bean:
Hey Principal Nedzu.
I'm okay.
Sorry if I worried you.
But while I can't discuss what's going on…
I can say that the situation as gotten complicated.
Mouse Dad:
It's a relief to know that you're okay.
I was worried, but I knew that you would pull through.
And I understand that you aren't at any liberty to discuss what is happening
I am sure that you'll able to over come it.
Green Bean:
Thanks.
Once everything is calmer I'll contact you.
Mouse Dad:
Understood.
Take care.
Izuku sighed removing his visor to rub his eyes. Should he try contacting Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire? Izuku thought against it. If they wanted to know they could go to Nedzu right now.
"Agent Midoriya." Hill called over the coms. "Fury wants you."
"On my way." Izuku answered leaving his quarters as he put his mask and visor back on.
"You okay Midoriya?" Fury asked as they walked through the base.
"Yeah I'm good. The sooner we get our men and the tesseract back the better." Izuku answered as they came to a jet. "Where are we going?"
"It's time we assembled the team." Fury replied. Izuku blinked in shock. The team. As cliché as this was, no time like the present.
"Whose first?" Izuku asked as the boarded the jet.
"A legend." Fury answered.
