Chapter 4
HO HO HO! GREETINGS BOYS AND GIRLS! ITS I, SANTA STORMVOID, IN CHRISTMAS IN JULY! GIVING PRESENTS AND CHAPTERS TO THE WONDERFULLY GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS OF FANFICTION!
Incorrect holidays aside, here is another chapter of Welcome to the MCU! Last time, we had Katsuki Stark return home from his kidnapping a changed man, with everyone having mixed reactions towards. Colonel Kirishima was unhappy, Stane was unhappy, Ibarra was romantically confused, and Katsuki learned how to fly and how heavy the suit is compared the structural weight and integrity of his roof.
Now we will have Part 3 of this story and the second to last part of this movie until we get to the next one, one which many people have been wondering about and let me tell you guys its going to be shocking.
But first to the reviews:
asymetriczero: Thanks for the support and you are the nail on the head with your predictions. As for Black Panther, yes that is minefield that I am worried about. In MHA there is only two notable characters of color, Miruko and Rocklock, and they are technically still Japanses. My original solution towards BP was to have Asui and a genderbent, tanner, and more panther-like T'challa, but overtime this idea's holes and problems became more apparent and its confusing and a sensitive subject cause if I were to skip it, then that would be seen as just as racist as it would be to have any large changes, so I might go your route in keeping T'challa as he is and maybe mess things around with Klaw but since BP and Civil War are still way off into the future, I might come up with something. Thank you for your support and your insight.
DarkVaporeon 23: Wow thanks so much for the support and glad to have you on board. Just to let you know that be careful around the Spider-King story, its not for the faint of heart. Also, hopefully when that happens you survive, and the yes a Jurassic Park/World reaction would be interesting, though I'm entirely sure who would be who, like having Izuku as Ian Malcolm, Dr. Grant, or Owen Grady.
Maximum Rhapsody: Interesting ideas there that I will have to think about and I agree with you that they threw Bruce/Natasha out the window after Age of Ultron, and there will only be one Class-1B female that will hop aboard the Izuku harem train and I am unsure about the Pro Heroines, and the rest of the Class-1B group will be paired with the others, like Ibarra and Bakugou and Itsuka and Tetsutetsu. As for your predictions, I won't spoil much but you got a lot of correct guesses.
netpel: Thanks for the advice of my question, and as for your thoughts over Hulk, well you are right, the only thing that Hulk gave us was Hulk and Ross and that last one wasn't brought back until way later.
Guest(Nobody Styles): Thanks for the suggestions about the Carter conundrum, and I agree that it fit with their screen time and hey, if I can make Tony 'black-haired' Stark become Katsuki 'blonde-haired' Stark then I can do the same that regard.
So with that settled, I don't own My Hero Academia, that belongs to Horikoshi and Bones Studios, or the MCU, property of Marvel, Disney, and Sony, and the movies were created by their awesome actors, directors, and studios.
Now, Let's Rock and Roll!
Iron Man
Part 3: Who will Help?
Third POV
We see a car zooming past other cars, the hum of the machine roaring out with the rocking music.
"Bakugou! You mustn't drive around like a hooligan! Respect traffic laws!" Iida said, arms like a robot.
"Shut Up Robo-Arms!" Bakugou retorted. "I'm a billionaire in that world! I can pay whatever speeding ticket a cop tries to toss at me!"
As the car rolled up by the curb, Katsuki Stark climbed out of his car and handed it off to the busboy. He walked towards the crowd of people, where Obadiah was currently talking with others.
"Yep, he's crashing the party." Sero said.
"Why does that feel like something that all famous billionaires and singers feel like they have to do?" Sen asked to no one in particular.
"Weapons manufacturing is only one small part of what Stark Industries is all about, and our partnership with the fire and rescue community-" Obadiah cut himself off as the sounds of crowding and camera flashing directed his attention to Katsuki's arrival.
"Hey, Katsuki, remember me?" A random woman asked the tech billionaire.
"Sure don't." Katsuki bluntly said.
"Midoriya, Bakugou, you Bastards!" Mineta cried out, crying blood from jealousy. "So lucky with the ladies and then throwing them out like nothing! That should be ME!"
For once, Deku and Bakugou worked together and bashed Mineta's head into the floor of the gym, the grape head midget slumped motionless. No one batted an eye or cared.
"You look great, Hef." Katsuki said as he passed an old man with two ladies by his side. The man was short with receding grey hair and a pair of iconic shades.
"Who's that?" Shindo asked.
Manga simply formed a question mark on his text bubble.
"He must be important if the movie threw some attention towards him." Jurota said.
Izuku nodded, a certain feeling in his gut that this man was somehow in someway or form incredibly important and meaningful. Oh how right he was.
(This one for you guys: Stan Lee! Multiversal Countrepart: Kohei Horikoshi!)
"We're going to have a great quarter." Obadiah said lastly to the reporter.
"What's the world coming to when a guy's got to crash his own party?" Katsuki asked his right hand man as he walked up to him.
"Look at you. Hey, what a surprise." Obidiah said, with a forced fake smile on his face.
"The man clearly didn't expect Stark to arrive." Endeavor said. "He's not pleased."
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Todoroki mumbled. Endeavor flinched at his son's dry tone but chose to remain silent.
"I'll see you inside."
Before Katsuki left, Stane stopped him for a moment and whispered "Hey. Listen, take it slow, all right? I think I got the board right where we want them."
"You got it. Just cabin fever. I'll just be a minute." Katsuki said to the man, leaving Stane out with a nervous look on his face.
Inside the building was a large crowd of people mingling around with a band playing in the background. Some were simply talking, some were at the brightly lit bar. Katsuki Stark arrived towards the later.
"Give me a Scotch. I'm starving." Katsuki said to the bartender.
"Mr. Stark?" spoke a voice beside Katsuki.
"Yeah?" Katsuki said as he turned to find Agent Yamada.
"Agent Yamada." The agent introduced himself.
"YEAH! I'M BACK!" Present Mic yelled out.
"Next time you yell, I'm going to suffocate you with my scarf!" Aizawa grumbled, rubbing his forehead in pain.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." Katsuki said. "The guy from the.."
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." Yamada corrected.
"God, you need a new name for that." Katsuki said.
"Yeah, I hear that a lot." Agent Yamada said.
"Guess they are still working on the name." Kamakiri joked, much to chuckles of the students.
"Listen, I know this must be a trying time for you, but we need to debrief you. There's still a lot of unanswered questions, and time can be a factor with these things." Yamada said.
As Yamada talked, Katsuki looked over the crowd and his eyes lingered onto one person in particular: Ibarra Shiozaki, wearing an appealing ocean blue dress that paired together well with her glowing green hair and showed off her backside all the way to her lower back.
"Wow, Ibarra you are quite the looker. Catching the attention of a billionaire playboy" Setsuna teased the holy vine girl, who was blushing up a storm.
The girls of Class-1B showered compliments on Ibarra, much to the said girl's embarrassment.
The guys from both classes tried their best not to stare, especially Izuku as he felt a strange sense to look away if he valued his life. Little did he realize that strange sense was his instinct at being stared at by dark leering eyes from certain females around him.
Bakugou, meanwhile, was busy trying to ignore Kirishima's teases while keeping his eyes from staring at the movie Ibarra's very curvy and appealing backside.
"Let's just put something on the books. How about the 24th at 7:00 p.m. at Stark Industries?" Yamada asked.
"Tell you what. You got it. You're absolutely right." Katsuki said, holding out his hand for the man to shake as he continued to stare at his beautiful assistant. "Well, I'm going to go to my assistant, and we'll make a date."
"I bet you wish to make a date, but not with the agent, aye Bakugou?" Mina teased.
"Say another word and I'll blast you to Tokyo faster than All Might's punches." Katsuki mumbly threatened, his face the same color as Kirishima's dyed hair.
Katsuki walked up to his dressed up assistant and said "You look fantastic! I didn't recognize you."
Shiozaki, surprised asked "What are you doing here?"
"Just avoiding government agents." Katsuki said.
"Are you by yourself?" Ibarra asked.
"Yes. Where'd you get that dress?"
"Oh, it was a birthday present." Ibarra said.
"That's great."
"From you, actually." Ibarra revealed.
"Well, I got great taste." Katsuki said smoothly.
"Yes."
"Smooth, Bakugou." Sero said. "Nice way to get out of that trap."
"Wow Kacchan, seems to got your sense of fashion from Uncle Masurou then." Izuku said.
"OF COURSE I KNOW ABOUT FASHION YOU SHITTY NERD!" Bakugou bansheed out. "I MAY NOT HAVE LIKE IT BUT I LISTENED TO MY SHITTY DAD WHEN HE MUMBLED OUT HIS WORK!"
"You want to dance?" Katsuki asked.
"Oh, no." Ibarra said.
"All right, come on." Katsuki insisted and moved Ibarra with him to the dance floor, Ibarra subtlety smiling as she danced with Katsuki.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?"
"No. No. I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in front of everyone that I work with in a dress with no back."
"You look great and you smell great."
"Oh, God." Ibarra chuckled.
"Man, that kid there has probably as much skill with the ladies as Midoriya if those girls' stares are anything to go by." Death Arms whispered to Kamui.
"Not just the girls." Kamui Woods said. "You can see the same looks from Mt. Lady and Ryukyu, even Miruko. Though the Bakugou boy has only seemed to attract Shiozaki."
"Maybe Mt. Lady will get you to play matchmaker when you ask for Shiozaki for an internship?" Death Arms said.
"She's more likely to bribe me into helping her with Midoriya. The selfish woman." Kamui said, shaking his head at that last part.
"You know I'm sitting right next to you guys." said the giant size heroine with a dark smile on her face that didn't match her blank furious eyes.
Kamui and DA started shivering and sweating in comical terror.
"But I could fire you if that would take the edge off." Katsuki offered.
"I actually don't think that you could tie your shoes without me." Ibarra said.
"I'd make it a week." Katsuki said.
"Really? What's your Social Security number?"
"...Five."
Cue more laughter at Bakugou's expense.
"Man that kid's hopeless." Snipe said.
"Anger management wise or intelligence?" Ectoplasm questioned
"Both."
"Five?"
"Right?"
"Right. You're missing just a couple of digits there."
"The other eight? So I got you for the other eight." They danced in silence for a bit more before Katsuki asked. "How about a little air?"
"Yes, I need some air."
"I'll say." Setsuna said, fanning herself. "Things were getting hot and heavy."
"That was totally weird." Ibarra said as she and Katsuki were outside on a balcony.
"Totally harmless." Katsuki insisted."
"It was totally not harmless, by the way."
"Uh-oh." Kaminari said. "Seems like she's getting cold feet." He turned to Tetsutetsu and asked "How much you wanna bet this has to deal with him being a playboy billionaire that's her boss?"
"100." Tetsutetsu better.
"You're on."
"We're dancing." Katsuki said. "No one's even watching."
"Everybody who I work with..." Ibarra said before relenting and saying "No, you know why?"
"I think you lost objectivity. I think they just... People... We just danced." Katsuki insisted.
"No, it was not just a dance." Ibarra said. "You don't understand because you're you. And everybody knows exactly who you are and how you are with girls and all of that, which is completely fine. But, you know, then me, you're my boss, and I'm dancing with you."
Tetsu grumbled as he handed a hundred yen to a smirking Kaminari.
"I don't think it was taken that way."
"Because it makes me look like the one who's trying to..." Ibarra continued while Katsuki kept interrupting.
"I just think you're overstating it."
"You know, and we're here, and then I'm wearing this ridiculous dress, and then we were dancing like that and..." She stopped as the two stared at each and started leaning in, their eyes closing as they inches closer and closer.
Mina, Torru, and Setsuna were currently holding back their girlish squeals with great amount of strength. Bakugou and Ibarra looked so red they looked like they were about to thermonuclear.
Ibarra suddenly snapped out of it and said "I would like a drink, please."
"NOOOOO!" The three girls screamed out.
"Got it, okay." Katsuki said as he started waking away in a hurry.
"I would like a vodka martini, please. Very dry with olives, a lot of olives. Like, at least three olives."
"That's alot of olives." Kaminari memed as usual, resulting in a head smack from an equally distraught Nejire over the failed kiss.
Katsuki walked over to the bar and ordered "Two vodka martinis, extra dry, extra olives, extra fast. Make one of them dirty, will you?"
"Which one is the dirty one for?" Sato asked.
Koda just shrugged.
"Wow. Katsuki Stark." said an appeared Christine Everheart in a black dress
"Hey isn't that the reporter that Bakugou slept wi-Nevermind." Awase said before dropping it at seeing Setsuna waving at him silently to stop while a menacing looking Ibarra emitted a deadly aura as her vines started rising.
"Oh, hey."
"Fancy seeing you here."
"Carrie." Katsuki said mistakenly.
The deadly aura around the holy girl vanished as the naming error brought a smile to her face.
"Christine." She said correcting him.
"That's right."
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here tonight. Can I at least get a reaction from you?"
"Panic. I would say panic is my reaction."
"Panic seems to be the appropriate response." Shinsou said. "He slept with her, then kicked her to the curb, and is now seeing his secretary that dissed her."
"'Cause I was referring to your company's involvement in this latest atrocity." Christine said
"Yeah. They just put my name on the invitation. I don't know what to tell you." Katsuki joked.
"I actually almost bought it, hook, line and sinker."
"I was out of town for a couple months, in case you didn't hear."
"Is this what you call accountability?" She showed Stark a photograph. "It's a town called Gulmira. Heard of it?"
"Wait, Gulmira?" Izuku said. "Isn't that where Power Loader's counterpart was from?"
Power Loader, Mei, and the rest payed extra attention to the screen.
The name of Higari's village drew Katsuki's full attention to the photographs. What he saw was pictures of a destroyed village with dead villagers and animals everywhere, terrorists, including the man who tortured Stark indicating the Ten Rings, carrying crates of weaponry, and a back of a truck that held a crate that said Stark Industries. The last photograph shown was the Jericho Missiles.
Silent horror and shock filled the gym. Bakugou clenched his fists with gritted teeth. Power Loader dipped his head in sadness and guilt at seeing his other self's home destroyed. Mei looked absolutely livid.
"When were these taken?" Katsuki said, all humor drained away and replaced by silent anger.
"Yesterday." Christine said, her eyes slightly watery.
"Oh god." Kirishima said as he looked horrified at what he saw.
"I didn't approve any shipment." Katsuki informed.
"Well, your company did." Christine accused.
"Well, I'm not my company." Katsuki said with finality.
"Please, do you mind?" Obadiah said to the reporters that tried crowding him with a pissed off Katsuki.
"Have you seen these pictures?" Katsuki said to Obadiah as he showed him the pictures. "What's going on in Gulmira?"
"Katsuki, Katsuki." Obadiah said trying to calm Katsuki down. "You can't afford to be this naive."
"You know what? I was naive before, when they said, "Here's the line. We don't cross it. This is how we do business." If we're double-dealing under the table... Are we?"
As the two stared each other down, a reporter asked "Katsuki, your picture, please!"
"Let's take a picture. Come on. Picture time!" Obadiah said as he and Katsuki turned to the cameras with fake smiles and hugs.
"Tony. Who do you think locked you out?" Stane whispered. "I was the one who filed the injunction against you. It was the only way I could protect you."
Obadiah walked down the carpet while Katsuki Stark stood there, a face riddled with anger and betrayal.
"Betrayal is the knife that cuts the deepest." Tokoyami muttered darkly.
"So in trying to keep weapons production, Obadiah lied to Bakugou and tried to lock him out of anything to keep from spreading bad press." All Might deduced, gritting his teeth in anger at seeing innocent lives dying and being helpless to stop it.
"Seems like it." Gran Torino grimly said.
Bakugou looked at the counterpart to Ayase and glared with hate and betrayal.
"The 15-mile hike to the outskirts of Gulmira can only be described as a descent into hell, into a modern day Heart of Darkness." A tv reporter said as behind her a line of refugees was shown walking along the rocky path.
Katsuki Stark was watching the news on his couch, wearing a pair of pants and a white plain shirt where his mini-arc reactor flowed out. He sat there screwing the bolts and screws on his red and gold armored gauntlet, that covered his right hand, as he listened with ever growing rage.
"Simple farmers and herders from peaceful villages have been driven from their homes, displaced from their lands by warlords emboldened by a new-found power." The news lady continued while Katsuki watched with clear anger on his face.
"Bakubro is not happy." Kirishima said with a frown. "And neither am I."
"I feel so helpless, listening to those people's struggles." Izuku said, his own face filled with anger, guilt, and helplessness. "And I can't help but realize that all over the world there are people that going through that and I'm here, powerless to help them."
"Izuku." Uraraka said concerned.
"Remember what I said, Young Midoriya." All Might suddenly said. "Sometimes there are people who are out of our reach. People that suffer and need help but we heroes aren't always there to help. Because we can't be everywhere at once. We can't always be when we are needed. Which is why we must save all those that are within are reach. Save those that we can reach and help them and there."
The students took that to heart, hoping to do just that and save everyone that they could. Gran Torino looked at his former pupil and said "Heh, great lesson there Toshinori. If she were here, Nana would be proud."
"Thank you, Gran Torino." All Might said.
"Villagers have been forced to take shelter in whatever crude dwellings they can find in the ruins of other villages, or here in the remnants of an old Soviet smelting plant."
Katsuki continued hearing, twisting the screw as the circle in the middle of his palm glowed whitish-blue. He heard gunfire and looked to see terrorists firing upon buildings and people. He screwed tighter as the light of the circle glowed brighter and hummed louder.
"Recent violence has been attributed to a group of foreign fighters referred to by locals as the Ten Rings." The tv showed a video of Raza, the leader.
"As you can see, these men are heavily armed and on a mission. A mission that could prove fatal to anyone who stands in their way." Katsuki Stark stood up from the couch.
"With no political will or international pressure, there's very little hope for these refugees." Katsuki walked over to the kitchen counter and tossed the screwdriver. "Around me, a woman begging for news on her husband, who was kidnapped by insurgents, either forced to join their militia..." Katsuki aimed his gauntlet over to the workshop and fired a repulsor blast that destroyed its random target.
"Yep, he's pissed." Todoroki said as he two gripped his fists tighter at every word from the tv.
"Desperate refugees clutch yellowed photographs, holding them up to anyone who will stop. A child's simple question, "Where are my mother and father?" There's very little hope for these refugees, refugees who can only wonder who, if anyone, will help?"
Katsuki has enough and fired another blast at the reflection in front of him. Then another at the glass next to it and then another. Finished he walked away as the music picked up.
"Looks like someone's answering the call." Kyouka said as she smirked at the rising music.
Katsuki stepped up to a black tile platform wearing a tight black shirt and pants. The floor gave way as it morphed and opened up a series of machines. Two armored soles came up to which the billionaire tech genius stood onto.
Katsuki stood there as the machines around him placed red and gold colored armor around him, drills screwing in bolts as pieces of armor connected. The chest of the suit secured to his body as the light of the middle circle glowed with the arc reactor.
Katsuki looked to the screen as the helmet was placed on his head. His determined look shrouded by the face plate of the Mark 3, the eyes glowing and ready for action.
Cheers screamed out at seeing the awesome suiting up. Bakugou grinned that his other self was ready to kill some terrorist bastards. Mei got over her rage of the terrorist and almost passed out at seeing the suit assembling.
The screen changed to show the armored hero flying through the skies in all his red and golden glory and zoomed past with a sonic boom.
"He's Going Faster The Speed of Sound!" Izuku fanboyed as he himself wrote down the suit and its capabilities in his hero notebook.
Iida himself was almost breaking down in shock at seeing the suit go faster than even himself.
The scene changed to see a village being under attacked by the Ten Rings, the Jericho missile flying and exploding in the background.
The cheers and excitement over the suit was immediately died off at the disgusting sight of terrorists attacking and killing innocent people for their own agenda. They saw the terrorists break down into houses only to shoot everything in sight, tossing grenades into homes, and hearing down sounds of gunfire, explosions, and dying screams of terror and death.
"Despicable." Nejire said.
Eri and Kota cling to Izuku and Mirio, the two scared over the sight.
It then showed the man who tortured Stark ordering men around, some of these men holding crying women and men back as they dragged men to the walls and aimed at them, ready to fire.
"I hope they burn for this." Todoroki said, his right half sputtering into flames.
"You might get your wish soon." Ojiro said darkly, hoping to see these scum get what's coming to them.
The screen shifted to a family of a man, his wife, and a boy and girl being pushed to the trucks. The head terrorist shouted in a foreign language and the terrorist behind them responded by dragging the man away from his family over to the rest of the men lined up.
The boy struggled free and run to his father, the father breaking free and catching his son, pleading with him to turn back. The head terrorist dragged the crying kid away from his father,tossing him over to the family, and dragged the man to the ground as he kicked him down.
"I can't watch this anymore." Torru cried out, trying to block out the noise and look away crying.
The head terrorist ordered for the father to be shot. The terrorist put a gun behind his head as he father watched as his wife, daughter, and son screamed out for him.
"Please someone save him." Uraraka pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly a rumble in the sky occurred and everyone stopped and looked up...to see a red and golden suit of armor land with a thud and faced the terrorist. The terrorist fired in him only for the bullets to bounce off and Stark to punch him into crumbled wall.
"YEAH!" The students cheered loudly. The heroes and teachers sighed in relief. All Might smiled seeing Bakugou be a hero a save that man. Aizawa had a proud smirk at seeing his student from another world save a life like a hero.
Stark fired repulsor blasts onto the other terrorists, blasting them into walls and buildings, the walls cracking under the force. He turned towards the rest towards the truck to see them yelling out, their guns trained on the civilians.
"Shit!" Fatgum cursed. "They got hostages!"
Stark lowered his hands subtly twitching his fingers. As he looked at the yelling soldiers threatening to shoot the hostages, red circles appeared over his targeting system. Suddenly, his shoulders popped out and from them fired seeking missiles that incapacitated the terrorists.
"Way to go Bakubro!" Kirishima cheered.
"Impressive." Snipe said. "He lowered his guard while activated those missiles with a subtle hand twist and attacked all the goons in succession to save all of them. Nice work kid."
As all the terrorists fell, the boy rushed towards his father, the two embracing in relief. Katsuki walked past them, the boy looking at their savior. The head terrorist ducked behind a wall and tried calling for help, only for an iron red hand to punch through the wall near his head. Katsuki dragged the thug through the wall and tossed him over to the villagers that were convening.
"He's all yours." Katsuki said as he turned and flew away, leaving the terrorists who tortured him to his well-deserved fate.
"Now that's karma." Mirio said.
"Good riddance!" Nejire said.
Katsuki flew up, looking over and scanning for the Jericho Missiles. As he found them, he was then blasted out of the sky, crashing to the ground.
"KACCHAN!/BAKUGOU!" Deku and All Might gasped out.
Katsuki climbed out of the crater he creates as he fell. He looked forwards to the tank that fired at him. The tank fired again, Katsuki leaning away as it sailed past him. He turned back to the tank and raised his right arm, a part of the suit opening to reveal a missile and fired it at the tank.
It landed on the tank with a thud, no effect noticeable.
"Huh, looks like Bakugou's weaponry isn't all that-" Monoma said before...
Stark turned away and walked away as the tank blew up behind him.
"SO! FUCKING! MANLY!" The two hard heads screamed out, their fellow students cheering as well. Bakugou smiled in triumph.
"You were saying!" Itsuka questioned, a smirk on her face.
Monoma remained silent, jealousy and shock plastered on his face.
Katsuki continued walking, gunfire raining down on him, but was all ineffective to this new suit. He flew up, targeting the missiles and fired a large repulsor blast onto them. The missiles exploded, engulfing the terrorists in flames.
A convoy of trucks in the far distance, carrying Raza, looked over at their missiles and men destroyed, with Katsuki Stark flying away.
"Mission Acomplished!" Mei said, smirking at seeing the terrorists get what they deserve.
"What the hell was that? Were we cleared to go in there?" Said a soldier over at the Edwards Air Force bass in California, watching readout over the area where Katsuki fought.
"No, they were using human shields. We never got the green light" Another soldier said as he reviewed the monitors.
"Makes sense why the military weren't there." Awase said. "Hard for soldiers to get the job done when those terrorists had hostages."
"Put me through to State." Another soldier ordered. "They're going to be all over this."
"Get those monitors up!" A soldier called out. "We got a bogey!"
"Wasn't Air Force! "
"We got the CIA on the line?" The soldier in charge asked.
"I've got Langley on the line. They want to know if it's us."
"No, it definitely is not us, sir!"
"It wasn't Navy."/"Wasn't Marines."
"I need answers! Can I please get eyes on target?" The soldier ordered.
"Negative, negative. Cannot identify."
"Get me Colonel Kirishima from Weapons Development down here now!"
"Looks like we are getting more form you Kirishima." Tetsu said.
"Yeah, but hopefully I don't end up trying to kill Bakugou here." Kirishima said worried.
As Katsuki was flying away, Kirishima walked in, a soldier informing "We ran an ID check and cross-referenced with all known databases. We have nothing."
"Any high altitude surveillance in the region?" Kirishima asked.
"We got an AWAC and a Global Hawk in the area." A soldier responded.
"What's an AWAC and Global Hawk!?" Mina asked.
"AWAC stand for Airborne Warning and Control System." Izuku replied. "It's used by the U.S. Force as a mobile, long range radar surveillance and control centre for air defense. I believe back then they were mostly mounted on Boeing 707 aircrafts."
"And a Global Hawk is normally short for The Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk." Mei said. "It's another high altitude, remote-piloted, surveillance aircraft also used primarily by the US Air Force."
"Just going to give up how asking how Midoriya knows that and also that we move on." Kaminari said.
"So this thing just appeared out of nowhere." Kirishima said. "How come it didn't show up on the radar?"
"Got a minimal radar cross-section, sir."
"Is it stealth?" Kirishima asked further.
"No, sir, it's tiny. We think it's an unmanned aerial vehicle."
"Oh it's defiantly manned. Like literally a man." Ojiro said.
"Colonel, what are we dealing with here?" The soldier in charge asked.
Kirishima pondered for a moment before saying "Let me make a call."
Over towards Katsuki flying through the air, his suit received a cell phone ring. Katsuki answered and responded "Hello?"
"Katsuki?" Kirishima answered.
"Who's this?"
"It's Kirishima."
"Sorry, hello?"
"I said it's Kirishima."
"Speak up, please." Katsuki asked.
"What in the hell is that noise?" Kirishima questioned.
"Oh nothing." Kosei said sarcastically. "Just the sound of the air whipping past him as he flies away from blowing up terrorists."
"Oh, yeah, I'm driving with the top down." Katsuki lied
"Nice lie." Sero said. Katsuki held off a typical 'Shut up insert insulting nickname here', unsure whether it was a compliment or a sarcastic comment.
"Yeah, well, I need your help right now."
"It's funny how that works, huh?"
"Yeah. Speaking of funny, we've got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few clicks from where you were being held captive."
"Well, that's a hot spot. Sounds like someone stepped in and did your job for you, huh?" Katsuki said breathless.
"Why do you sound out of breath, Tony?" Kirishima asked suspicious.
"If you wish to sound less suspicious in calls like that it important to keep a steady breathing pattern." Recovery Girl stated.
"I'm not, I was just jogging in the canyon."
"I thought you were driving."
"Right, I was driving to the canyon, where I'm going to jog." Katsuki lies further.
"You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?" Kirishima asked.
"Nope!"
"Bogey spotted!" A soldier cried out, the monitors showing a shadowy image of Katsuki flying.
"Whiplash, come in hot." The major called in.
"Okay, good, 'cause I'm staring at one right now, and it's about to be blown to kingdom come." Kirishima said.
Katsuki looked behind to see two fighter jets right behind him.
"Uh-oh. Not good." Nejire said.
"That's my exit." Katsuki said as he flew left. The music picked up as Katsuki is now flying away from the pursuing jets.
"Ballroom, this is Whiplash One. I've got the bogey in my sights." One of the pilots informed.
"Whiplash One, what is it?" Kirishima asked.
"I've got no idea." The pilot said.
"You have radio contact?" The major asked.
"Non responsive, sir."
"Then you are clear to engage."
"Why are they attacking him?!" Uraraka questioned. "He just saved those people and took down those terrorists!"
"While that may be true, Bakugou is still flying an unidentified flying armored suit sailing illegally in U.S. sanctioned air space." Aizawa said. "And since Bakugou is refusing or unable to assume radio contact then the U.S. is justified in targeting and neutralizing what they can only assume as a unidentified hostile weapon."
Katsuki's suit informed him that he was being targeted. "Hit it." He called out. Suddenly, Katsuki picked up speed and went supersonic in a few seconds.
"AMAZING!" Mei said astounded. "To be able to go supersonic in a few seconds alone to withstand that level of gforces is an impressive feat!"
"That bogey just went supersonic." The other pilot said. "I got a lock!" He pressed a button and launched a missile towards Stark.
"Inbound missile." Jarvis warned.
"Flares!" Stark ordered. The hips of the suit opened up and fired off flares. The missiles struck the flares, saving him from destruction but the explosion blasted Katsuki's backside and knocked him downward.
"Wait a second. Bogey deployed flares!"
Katsuki stumbled in the air for a second before flying off once again, the fighter jets on his heel. They fired their guns, most missing but with two lucky bullets slashing at the suit's sides.
The students and heroes were gripping their seats in worry.
"Deploy flaps!" Katsuki ordered, his suit deploying the flaps of the suit and sailing behind the jets.
"Holy!" The pilot cursed out, the two pilots looking backward to see where the bogey went.
"That thing just jumped off the radar, sir. The sat visual has been lost." The soldiers at the air base reported.
"Smart." Hawks said. "A maneuver like that would disorient regular pilots and targeting systems but hard to pull off with the jets so close behind. But since he is smaller and more maneuverable, he can perform that technique more safely."
"No way that's a UAV." One of the pilots said as he looked around.
"What is it?" The major asked.
"I can't see anything. Whatever it was, it just bought the farm."
"I think bogey's been handled, sir." The other pilot replied.
"Did Bakugou get away?" Torru asked.
Kirishima suddenly heard his phone ring. He picked it up to see the ringtone and called to be Katsuki Stark. He answered "Hello?"
"Hi, Kiri, it's me." Katsuki said.
"It's who?"
"I'm sorry, it is me. You asked. What you were asking about is me."
"No, see, this isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. You understand that?"
"This is not a piece of equipment. I'm in it. It's a suit. It's me!" Katsuki yelled out.
"Kirishima, you got anything for me?" The major asked. Kirishima just looked at him in silence.
"Mark your position and return to base." The major orders the pilots.
"Roger that, Ballroom." The pilot turned on his side, exposing Katsuki hanging onto the belly of the jet!
"So that's where he went!" Torru said. "Smart, but the other guy is seeing him!"
"On your belly!" The pilot called out, looking directly at the armored billionaire. "It looks like a man!"
The image left the air base full of shocked and confused looks from everyone, Kirishima's being the only one that was has a semblance of realization.
"Shake him off! Roll! Roll!" The pilot called out as the other pilot spun the jet in barrel rolls.
"Do a Barrel Roll!" Kaminari memed, not learning his lesson. Miniature explosion to the face from annoyed Pomeranian. Lesson learned.
As Whiplash Two spun around, Katsuki struggled to hold on. Finally, Katsuki was flung out from the belly of the jet...only to then crash into the wing of the Whiplash One. The wing was destroyed, sending the jet spiraling out of control, flames spewing from the sides.
"I'm hit! I'm hit!" Whiplash One called out, looks of shock and rising horror appearing on the air base soldiers' faces.
"Oh no." Uraraka said.
"Punch out! Punch out!" Whiplash Two called out. Whiplash One shot out of the jet, the jet exploding in flames just as he flew out. The pilot was sent hurtling towards the ground.
"Whiplash One down." Whiplash Two called out.
"Whiplash Two, do you see a chute?" The major ordered, an uneasy look on his face.
"Negative! No chute, no chute!"
"My chute's jammed!" The pilot called out, trying a failing to pull up his parachute, his frantic breaths haunting the coms of the shocked and fearful faces in the air base room.
"Man that has to be terrifying for both parties." Honenuki said, likewise worried. "Having to hear that guy frantically fight for his life as he is hurtling through the sky-"
Manga gripped Honenuki's shoulder, interrupting him. Manga's text bubble showed waving hands and then a finger pointing towards the other students, some of the more sensitive ones becoming more fearful and frantic at seeing the soldier's predicament.
"Oh! Sorry." Honenuki mumbled out in apology.
Katsuki Stark dives towards the falling soldier.
"Yeah! Go Save him Bakubro!"
"Sir, I've got a visual on the bogey."
"Whiplash Two, reengage. If you get a clear shot, you take it."
"Major, we don't even know what we're shooting at. Call off the Raptors." Kirishima said.
"That thing just took out an F-22 inside a legal no fly zone!" The major replied back. "Whiplash Two, if you have a clear shot, take it!"
"You've been reengaged. Execute evasive maneuver." Jarvis informed.
"Keep going!" Katsuki said. As Katsuki neared the hurtling soldier, he grabbed the seat and punched the panel, the chute opening up and saving the soldier.
"Good chute! Good chute!" Whiplash One called. Cheers erupted from the other soldiers, the major let out a brief of relief.
Cheers likewise erupted from the audience, praising Bakugou's counterpart for saving the man's life. Bakugou for once smiled, proud at himself or rather his other self.
Katsuki flew off, the other jet flying away in securing the other spirit.
Back in the air base, Kirishima picked his phone up and asked "Tony, you still there?"
"Hey, thanks."
"Oh, my God, you crazy son of a bitch." Kirishima chuckles. "You owe me a plane. You know that, right?"
Katsuki likewise chuckled and said "Yeah, well, technically, he hit me. Now are you going to come by and see what I'm working on?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, the less I know, the better." Kirishima said.
"Wise." Endeavor said. "If he we're to fully learn all about what Bakugou was working on, then he would be likewise at fault and most likely court martial'd."
Kirishima blushes and rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed and yet proud at receiving praise from Endeavor.
"Now, what am I supposed to tell the press?" Kirishima asked.
"Training exercise. Isn't that the usual BS?" Katsuki said.
"It's not that simple." Kirishima said.
The screen turned to black before it showed Kirishima, dressed in uniform, saying to a mic "An unfortunate training exercise involving an F-22 Raptor occurred yesterday."
Laughter erupted. Kirishima rubbed his neck again, this time just embarrassed.
"I am pleased to report that the pilot was not injured. As for the unexpected turn of events on the ground in Gulmira, it is still unclear who or what intervened, but I can assure you that the United States government was not involved."
Meanwhile as Kirishima gave his speech, Obadiah Stane watched with a suspicious and unpleased look.
"He doesn't look happy." Mirio said, his eyes narrowing in likewise suspicion. "Wonder why?"
Meanwhile that, Ibarra walked down the stairs to ten workshop to hear "Hey!"
"It is a tight fit, sir. Sir, the more you struggle, the more this is going to hurt." Jarvis said.
Ibarra grew even more confused as she walked down to see the broken glass and the broken glass panels.
"Be gentle. This is my first time." Katsuki said.
"That's What She Sai-*BAM!" Mineta said before he once again got his head smashed into the ground, courtesy of an annoyed Bakugou. He didn't even bother turning to his right as he gave a responsive thumbs up to Deku who was also giving him a thumbs up without looking.
"I designed this to come off, so...*Groans* Hey. I really should be able to..."
"Please, try not to move, sir." Jarvis asked as Ibarra watched the machines that put together Stark's suit were now trying to remove the suit's pieces away.
"What's going on here?" Ibarra asked.
"Busted!" Setsuna said.
Katsuki turned to face Ibarra's stunned and questioning look and said "Let's face it. This is not the worst thing you've caught me doing."
"Are those bullet holes?" Ibarra questioned further mortified.
"Makes you wonder what she caught Katsuki doing it it's worse than finding him in a suit of armor covered in bullet holes." Rin said. "Could it be she walked in on him-" and that's as far as he got before he got a vine smack to the back of the head.
The scenes changed to see a camp full of Ten Rings terrorists, Raza up in front, seeing to the arrival of a convoy of black SUVs.
"Group of black, shady looking cars equals more bad guys." Hawks said, his eyes narrowing.
The front car's doors opened, the man coming out revealing to be Obadiah Stane.
"Called it." Hawks said darkly.
Gaps of shock erupted from the students, the heroes meanwhile narrowed their eyes at the man darkly. Bakugou meanwhile was growling in betrayed anger.
"Why is Obadiah there?" Pony asked, shocked and confused.
"It would appear that just as Bakugou wasn't honest with Obadiah, Obidiah wasn't honest with him either." Momo said. "Obadiah is in league with the Ten Rings."
"That would explain why the Ten Rings had easy access to Stark weapons, including the Jericho Missile." Todoroki said.
"Welcome." Raza greeted Obadiah. Obadiah looked to the burnt scar on Raza's side. "Compliments of Katsuki Stark."
"If you'd killed him when you were supposed to, you'd still have a face." Obadiah revealed.
"What?!" Mina and Torru gasped. "What does he mean?!"
"The reason how the Ten Rings knew where Bakugou was and how they were prepared to capture him." Asui said. "It was because of Obadiah. He told them."
"You paid us trinkets to kill a prince." Raza said cryptically.
"Explain please." Sero asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"Obadiah payed the Ten Rings with Stark tech weaponry and more and in exchange they would kill Bakugou." Tamaki said. "But they were unsatisfied and they decided to capture Bakugou so that they could build them more weapons before they killed him."
"Even worse, there's was no guarantee that they would even kill him afterwards." Nejire added.
"Yeah, they could have simply operated on him like they promised only for them to keep him captive for longer to that they could make more weapons." Mirio said.
"Show me the weapon." Obadiah said.
"Come. Leave your guards outside." Raza said as he turned and walked to the tent. Obidiah raised his hand and ordered for the guards to stay. The Ten Rings guys circled Stane's guards almost mockingly.
"I'm not the only sensing a double cross coming up, am I?" Shoji asked.
"No." Tokoyami said.
Obadiah entered the tent to find himself face to face with a nearly reconstructed Mark 1 suit.
"That's really not good." Pixie Bob said.
"His escape bore unexpected fruit." Raza said
Obadiah looked at the suit with a smirk and said "So this is how he did it."
"This is only a first, crude effort." Raza said "Stark has perfected his design." Referring to the Mark 3. "He has made a masterpiece of death. A man with a dozen of these can rule all of Asia. And you dream of Stark's throne."
Obadiah looked at him, his eyes showing he was angered at that comment "We have a common enemy." Raza continued, as Obadiah continued inspecting the suit, most specifically the missile hole. "If we are still in business, I will give you these designs as a in turn,I hope you'll repay me with a gift of iron soldiers."
Obadiah walked to him and accepted the glass of whiskey and patted Raza on the back with a smile...before pulling out a strange device and activating behind his ear.
It emitted a sharp piercing noise that caused Raza to gasp and jerk, the veins side of his head pulsing and showing. Obadiah meanwhile had a pair of earbuds that glowed blue and protected him from the device.
Kyouka flinched at the loud noise before Momo managed to create a pair of earmuff to cover her ears.
"Double cross." Shoji said.
"The greed of a war monger is cut short by the greed of another kind of monger." Tokoyami dramatically said.
"This is the only gift you shall receive." Obadiah said in Urdu. He shut off the machine as Raza remained unmoving, almost frozen.
"Technology." Obadiah began saying. "It's always been your Achilles' heel in this part of the world. Don't worry. It'll only last for 15 minutes." He turned away and patted Raza's head one last time. "That's the least of your problems."
Obadiah walked out to find his guards, their guns raised over the kneeling and frozen terrorists. "Crate up the armor and the rest of it. All right, let's finish up here."
Obadiah walked away as the sounds and flash of gunfire rang and lit.
"Set up Sector underneath the arc reactor, and I'm going to want this data masked." Obadiah ordered on the phone. "Recruit our top engineers. I want a prototype right away."
The heroes and students looked at Obadiah with disgust and hate. Sure the terrorists had it coming, but to betray your partner and friend for power and money was despicable.
'At times like these I wish I wasn't so intelligent' Nezu thought grimly. He looked towards the shocked Midoriya and furious Bakugou. 'I must remember to search up this Yubi Ayase after this. He may be a simple civilian in this world but his connection to Midoriya and Bakugou, their reactions over his name being merely spoken, and his counterpart as a villain meres at the very least a closer inspection.'
Back over at Stark's workshop, Ibarra walked in finding Katsuki at work on the Mark 3.
"Hey. You busy?" Katsuki asked. "You mind if I send you on an errand?"
Ibarra walked over as Katsuki ceased his work and said "I need you to go to my office. You're going to hack into the mainframe and you're going to retrieve all the recent shipping manifests. This is a lock chip." He handed her a USB flash drive. "This'll get you in. It's probably under Executive Files. If not, they put it on a ghost drive, in which case you need to look for the lowest numeric heading."
"And what do you plan to do with this information if I bring it back here?" Ibarra asked.
"Same drill." Katsuki said. "They've been dealing under the table, and I'm going to stop them. I'm going to find my weapons and destroy them."
"Katsuki, you know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you're going to start all of this again." Ibarra said.
"There is nothing except this." Katsuki said. There's no art opening. There is no benefit. There is nothing to sign. There is the next mission and nothing else."
"Is that so?" Ibarra said. "Well, then, I quit." She tossed the flash drive away and started to walk out.
"No!" Setsuna said. "Shio, what is your counterpart doing?"
Ibarra remained silent, her eyes showing that she knew but wasn't saying.
"You stood by my side all these years while I reaped the benefits of destruction." Katsuki said. Ibarra froze. "And now that I'm trying to protect the people that I put in harm's way, you're going to walk out?"
"You're going to kill yourself, Katsuki." Ibarra said. "I'm not going to be a part of it."
"I shouldn't be alive, unless it was for a reason." Katsuki said resigning, sitting down on a chair. "I'm not crazy, Ibarra. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it's right."
Ibarra looked at Katsuki before sighing and walking back towards the desk. She picked up the lock chip and said "You're all I have, too, you know."
Ibarra walked away as Katsuki stared at her.
"So that's it, Shiozaki." Reiko said. "Your counterpart didn't want to lose Bakugou to what she thought was a endeavor with no true meaning, right?"
Ibarra merely nodded, her face a blushing mess. Bakugou meanwhile, flinched at hearing that, a feeling springing up that he hadn't felt since Camino Ward and his fight with Deku: guilt.
Ibarra walked out of an elevator, looking nervous, walking towards Obadiah's office.
"Ooh, it's spy time!" Kaminari said excited.
"Didn't know you were so into spies with your loud attitude, Kaminari." Sero said.
"Of course I love spies!" Kaminari said. "They get cool gear, they get all the babes, and they are basically like ninjas!"
"Too bad that with how dumb you would get caught trying to hide behind a flower pot." Kyouka jokingly said, laughter erupting from the students and Kaminari's ducking his head in sadness.
Ibarra way down and accessed Obidiah's computer, brought out the lock chip, and plugged it in and activated it. The computer at first beeped with a warning saying 'Security Breach!' before the lock chip hacked in successfully and deactivated it.
Ibarra watched as the lock chip accessed through Stane's files before a warning popped up saying 'Ghost Drive found'. The chip accessed it and brought up weapons and shipping documents, all the while downloading all the info.
Suddenly, a files open up with the title Sector 16. It brought up the specs and designs of the Mark 1 suit altered into a new, more deadlier, larger, and advanced design.
"Oh god." Izuku said. "He's turning the first suit into a new suit for either other buyers or for himself!"
"That's really bad." Mirio said frowning.
"Sector 16?" Ibarra questioned. "What are you up to, Obadiah?" The files closed and another file played out, a video of the Ten Rings holding a hostage Katsuki Stark, much to Ibarra's shocked horror.
"You did not tell us that the target you paid us to kill was the great Tony Stark." Raza said as Ibarra made the computer translate it. "As you can see, Obadiah Stane..."
"Oh, my God." Ibarra gasped out.
"Busted!" Setsuna said, her tone now more darker.
"... your deception and lies will cost you dearly. The price to kill Tony Stark has just gone up." Ibarra made sure that the lock chip was downloading all the files, before...
"So, what are we going to do about this?" A voice called out. Ibarra looked up shocked and was horrified to find Obadiah Stane at the door.
"Shit." Setsuna said.
"I think you just jinxed Ibarra to get herself busted shroom." Kinoko said.
"Sorry."
Obadiah walked inside and towards the glass table with the whiskey. "I know what you're going through, Ibarra." He looks at her with a smile.
"Get the hell out of there. Quickly, Ibarra." Itsuka said, extremely worried for her friend.
"Katsuki. He always gets the good stuff, doesn't he?" Obadiah said, bitterness in his voice. Ibarra smiled nervously, and when Obadiah turned his back for a moment, Ibarra slowly and inconspicuously moved a stack of papers over to hide the lock chip. As Obadiah walked over, Ibarra slowly and quickly change the screen to the screen saver. Obadiah looked at the screen, he found it still with the images of a hot rod car.
"Smart thinking, Shiozaki." Vlad King said with approval. "Seems even in other universes that you are just as adept in slight of hand skills."
"Thank you, Mr. Vlad King." Ibarra said appreciably.
"I was so happy when he came home." Obadiah said. "It was like we got him back from the dead. Now I realize, well, Katsuki never really did come home, did he? He left a part of himself in that cave. Breaks my heart."
"Well, he's a complicated person. He's been through a lot. I think he'll be all right." Ibarra said, looking at Obadiah, sterling herself the best she could.
Obadiah looked at her in silence for a moment before he said "You are a very rare woman. Katsuki doesn't know how lucky he is."
It was thanks to both Kirishima and his own resolve not to let Mina and Setsuna, and most especially Shiozaki, tease him and know that Bakugou kept himself from trying to fly into the screen and blast Obadiah's face off with an explosion. Thought his arm rest wasn't so lucky as it was heated and showed burn marks.
"Thank you. Thanks. I'd better get back there." Ibarra said. She reached over for the lock chip, taking the newspaper simultaneously as an excuse.
As Ibarra walked and headed towards the door, Obadiah called out "Is that today's paper?"
She froze in fear before saying "Yes."
Obadiah walked over and asked "Do you mind?"
"Not at all." She said.
"Puzzle." Obadiah said as he took the newspaper.
"Of course." Ibarra walked out of the room hearing Obadiah call out to her saying "Take care."
Ibarra looked back with smile before turning away, the lock chip in her hand.
Obadiah the stomped over to his desk, slamming the paper down. He activated his computer to find a warning saying that the download was 100% complete. He exclaimed angrily before standing up and striding to catch up to Ibarra.
As Ibarra was walking down the stairs she was interrupted by Agent Yamada calling to her "Ms. Shiozaki? We had an appointment. Did you forget about our appointment?"
"Damn it, Yamada! Not now!" Midnight exclaimed, she herself almost close to biting her nails in nervousness.
"Hey that's not me!" Present Mic yelled. "Well, it is me, but not the same me!"
"You both seem to have a knack for butting in when you are most unwanted." Aizawa said.
"Nope, right now. Come with me." Ibarra said quickly.
"Right now?" Yamada questioned as he got up to walk with Ibarra.
"We're going to have it right now. Yeah, walk with me." Ibarra said.
"Okay."
"I'm going to give you the meeting of your life. Your office." Ibarra said.
Overlooking her, leaning on the railing as he watched her go, was Obadiah.
"Jesus!" Torru said. "That was intense."
"*Sigh* I thought I was going to have a heart attack!" Mina said.
"Excellent job obtaining the file with the utmost secrecy and skill, Ms. Shiozaki." Iida said. "Your counterpart's skills are truly reflective of your owns, baring the lack of Quirk."
"Thank you." Ibarra said politely.
"Y-Yeah!" Katsuki said, face red and embarrassed. "T-That was...cool. You did great at the job I sent you to do!"
"T-Thank you...Bakugou." Ibarra said flustered and blushing.
The two worked hard not to acknowledge the teasing glances and smirks from their friends.
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDD SCENE!
Hope I payed justice to the awesomeness that was the iconic Iron Man tank missile scene! I always want to be as precise as possible reenacting fight scenes to have the reader fully picture it in their head.
Also, hope you guys liked the Bakuzaki ship. Its a ship that I feel could work based on just how opposite the two are, like Bakugou's constant rage, aggression, and cursing while Ibarra is kind, holy, and passionate. I will have it more explained how these two got these feelings from even before this movie during the interlude.
Speaking of, after the end of the second movie, I will have an interlude chapter, where the characters take a break from the movies for a day, after all, this isn't a fic where time is frozen as they continued watching, they are still in the real world and time is still passing by.
Anyways, that is all for now, as always comment your thoughts in the reviews, constructive criticism is always welcome, keep each other safe and healthy, and watch my other stories if you like.
This has been Zayden StormVoid and I will see you next chapter! Excelsior!
