Chapter 12

HAPPY NEW YEARS! *BLOWS PARTY HORN!* Here's to 2021 and hope that it doesn't become a shithole of a year as its predecessor. This is Zayden StormVoid back with another chapter of Welcome to the MCU!

Last time, we had the beginning of Iron Man 2, where we had Bakugou reveling in the fame of his counterpart only to get the bombshell that his counterpart is dying from palladium poisoning, Ibarra fearful for her crush's safety and ticked with jealousy of Olivia Rushman *coughUrarakacough, Justin Hammer, counterpart to Giran, as a competing weapons manufacturer, and Whiplash making his whips and planning a convenient trip to Stark's race.

Now we move onto Iron Man 2 Part 2, but first to the Reviews!

Guest: No on Hulk, yes on Into Spiderverse in the sequel story for this fic after all the MCU movies are done, and you will see soon enough on the last one.

Heil-Haidra2319: Yeah, that romance didn't really pan out much for the MCU until like the end where Hulk tries to bring her back with the Stones. The choice whether to have Setsuna or Melissa as Peggy is still a decision that it I'm smacking my head over, because they both have similarities to Agent Carter and for the potential behind both options for the story. I'll probably just do what I did for Black Widow and list all their comparisons and choose who has the most. When I compare the fighters of Civil War, Falcon does seem to be the fighter equivalent to War Machine, like Vision against Scarlett Witch and Spider-Man against Ant-Man, but I don't see ole Tetsu flying around like a bird. Your intuition is correct in that the Howling Commandos will be made up of my leftover 1-A and 1-B students.

Jeho2860: I wanted for this interlude to show the very purpose for watching the videos for the group, closer bonds between students and growing from the lessons in the movies and incorporate some of their skills. The girls were fighting for Deku's affection and attention, especially since they just admit to each other that they like the same guy and, its a scientific fact, that girls are ruthless, bloodthirsty creatures that will do anything to get their way. No offense, but its true. That Setsuna/Deku moment and Melissa/Deku moment is just one of many to come. The Shield family will be very interested in the high tech weaponry and over all American setting of the MCU while Tsukauchi will be the mouth piece of comparing MHA laws on heroism to the MCU's, especially in Civil War. Aizawa and the pros will be very impressed with Black Widow kicking ass, the girls are going to go ape shit when That comes around, and the last two will definitely be tear jerkers for the group.

TitanSolracer: Kendo and Momo were definitely contenders for Black Widow but I say that their counterparts will be rather fitting. Whiplash was by far the hardest to place Villain among the selections so it pretty much came down to process of elimination. Thought that Rhodey actor change was an opportunity that I couldn't miss out on pointing out, plus another reviewer asked for it. I am guessing that 99% is because like scientists you don't do 100%? Oh Red Skull will definitely be quite the surprise, same with Erksine.

FShield: Wanted to include firework to the face as a show of Bakugou not being perfect in this world, plus because it was funny as hell, and no, thank you for the suggestion my good sir. Collector was another choice for Giran, but Tivan wasn't exactly villainous or antagonistic enough in the MCU for Giran to be in, he was more of a neutral party.

The Ashen One: No need to apologize for the long review, I find them rather enjoyable to read and respond and thanks for the praise. I truly wanted my reaction fics to be more than just a simple reaction to the events and actually have the characters grow and change from the experience, much like how these movies have affected our pop culture and the effect that these have on many people when they watched these films. It would be rather cut and dry, as you said, if the MHA characters just watched, say that's cool, and learn nothing. Also for the harem, I have plans to have the harem pairing actually be impactful towards the characters involved, much like how the Bakugou and Shiozaki pairing affects the two, and would wish to have the harem pairing not just be a mere gimmick. And yeah I also thought that Himiko was also a prime candidate, but given how many of these characters are going to be compared to multiple MHA ones, I have to weight the scales and see which one has the greater amount of points. I'm as equally excited for Captain America and Avengers and the bombshells just waiting to drop from those.

crossover4: Apology not needed, sometimes we just forget or get too caught up with real life, no harm no foul. I agree that its a plot hole that many writers, including myself, largely ignore or forget how David should probably be in jail for what happened on I-Island, but the best reason I can give is that he was on a probationary stay on the Island and could not communicate with the outside world or leave the island so to not have any repeating incident. Plus there was that Sam guy who backstabbed David by giving the device to the Villains in the first place, since David wanted to use it on All Might to regain his strength, so that guy could have taken most of the heat. What Bakugou meant with that line was that we watched a sequel to Iron Man and, by proxy, watch another video revolving Bakugou before anyone else, even someone as important as All Might. The early realization over airdropping into the city was because, to me, there is a difference between artillery explosions and fireworks, one is more colorful and less effective than the other, plus you could see, for a split second, the lights of a bustling city and not a warzone. By the way, can I use that line when I get there, please? That made me laugh so hard that it would be a shame not to use. Since the girls of Deku's harem are going to be counterparts to some MCU characters that have relationships with other people, that aren't him, those will be rather awkward and worth discussing in future chapters when they occur. As for your plea, asked and yee shall receive. I had no intention of having Mei be that character, mostly because I forgot she existed. As for Pepper and Tony's back and forth and interrupting, its more of a 'first time experience' that's suppose to make you laugh but get old and tiresome over time, like some dialogue in 80's movies that get cringy over time. Also for addressing that plot point, have you been reading my mind or something?

Now, here is the index:

"Zayden." -Normal Dialogue

'Zayden.' -Internal or Mental Dialogue

"Zayden." -Flashback Dialogue

"Zayden." -Movie Dialogue

"Zayden." -F.R.I.D.A.Y. Dialogue

"Zayden." -Jarvis Dialogue

And with all that said, I do not own My Hero Academia, property of Horikoshi and Bones Studios, or the MCU, property of Disney, Marvel, and Sony, or take credit for the movies that were made by the amazing actors, directors, and studios that worked on them.

Now with that out of the way, Let's Rock and Roll!

Iron Man 2 Part 2: Sins of the Past

Third POV

Back to racing field, Katsuki was strapped into the seat of the blue and white race car, revving the engine as it roared. Suddenly, Stark's vision started to blur momentarily, only for Katsuki to shake it off. He signaled one of the pit crew that checked on him that he was fine.

"Wait, what was that blurring thing that just happened?" Kaminari asked.

"Maybe, Bakugou is still a little tipsy." Sero suggested. "He did just came from a bar and talked with that Hammer dude. Could be he's feeling a little drunk."

"Driving while under the influence of alcohol is Extremely Irresponsible while you will be driving on a race track at high speeds!" Iida preached.

Meanwhile, while Iida preached, Izuku, Bakugou, Ibarra, Momo, Nezu, and Aizawa frowned at the momentary blurriness, worried over what could happen.

As the race track lights started lighting up, Katsuki gripped his hands on the wheel and steeled himself. With the final light on, Katsuki sped off with the other race cars. Katsuki's car raced through the course, currently in fifth place.

"Go Explodey Guy!" Kouta cheered. "Racing is so cool!"

"I didn't know you liked racing so much, Kouta." Izuku commented.

"Yeah, I Do!" Kouta shouted. "Those cars going that fast and those tight turns! Its so Awesome!"

Izuku and the group chuckled at the young boy's enthusiasm.

The scene changed, the music shifting into a threatening tone, as over by the pit crew lane, Ivan Vanko walked down, disguised as a pit crew man, a stick in his mouth.

"Oh fu-I mean-oh great!" Kaminari nearly cursed yet saved himself at the last minute. "That guy is back and he's a pit crew guy?!"

"He's disguising himself." Todoroki pointed out. "He snuck in as a pit crew worker, so that he could get as close to Bakugou as possible."

Bakugou growled in anger at the Russian man's arrival and at himself for being stupid enough to be there in the first place. Ibarra was meanwhile, clasping her hands together in worry.

"Although it is quite convenient that he be there while Bakugou's counterpart is driving." Melissa noted. "Did he figure that Bakugou would be there because of his ego?"

"Perhaps." Izuku replied. "Although the alternative could be that Vanko simply wanted to attack the original Stark driver to gain Kacchan's attention, who would fly over to stop him. This is perhaps a fortuitous opportunity for Vanko."

As the race cars zoomed through the track, Ibarra watched the race through the TV by her table, looking outside her window as the cars flew past. Ivan stared down the track and grinned in mad glee.

"Wait...he's not thinking what I think he's thinking right?" Sen nervously asked.

"I think he is." Jurota replied.

Katsuki raced down the race track down a tunnel, the sides of his field of vision slightly blurry.

Ivan pushed open the white safety bars and walked onto the track, the people in the stands rising up as Ivan walked down the track, taking off his helmet as race cars zoomed past him.

"Oh god." Tetsutetsu muttered. "The balls on that guy. That's kinda manly. Ugh, I hate that I have to say that to the counterpart of that Mustard punk."

"Maybe you could just see it as him being crazy instead of manly?" Itsuka proposed.

"That's it! That's just crazy, not manly!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he sighed in relied. "Thanks for the save their Kendo!"

Kendo blushed at Tetsutetsu's smile and turned away. "N-No problem!"

Setsuna noticed the interaction and smiled teasingly.

Ibarra watched Ivan's entry onto the field and gasped in horror. Meanwhile, Hammer watched the same situation with a look of curiosity and narrowed eyes.

Ivan ripped open his shirt, revealing his metal harness with the arc reactor installed. As he let the metal handles fall into his hands, the arc glowed as it activated. The shirt burned away, the glowing white wires around the harness burning away the shirt as it sparked, the metal whip-like cords coming alive with white electricity.

The students shuddered in slight fear of the man. Ibarra started praying in nervousness over Bakugou's safety, while said object of prayer's eyes widened at how this Villain is utilizing his counterpart's own weapons against him. Kaminari mentally pondering whether he should consider trying something like that with his Quirk considering its being used by a Villain.

As the race car, the logo on it reading Hammer Industries, came towards Ivan, the newly powered Villain struck, slashing his electrical whips onto the car, the car sent flying off, half of its hood slashed clean off.

Eri whimpered in fear, Izuku and Mirio hugging the scared girl from the sight of the man.

The teachers and Heroes growled at the actions of the Villain, the wish to stop the Villain themselves coming back once again.

"Jesus, that's gonna cause some serious whiplash." Kaminari noted.

Suddenly the movie paused as F.R.I.D.A.Y. voice said "Funny you should say that, because Ivan Vanko's Villain codename in this world, and other universes, is known as Whiplash."

"Wait, F.R.I.D.A.Y., you can speak casually too?!" Mei shouted in excitement.

"Of course." F.R.I.D.A.Y. replied in sweet voice. "My AI systems were designed by Master Zayden himself, a rather casual, humorous person for a multi-dimensional watcher and guardian. He said and I quote "What's the point in making a talking artificial intelligent assistant, if can't joke or talk back to you? Where's the fun in that?"

"Ooh, I would love to hear one of your jokes." Melissa said.

"Like Minoru Mineta's nonexistent chances of a romantic match in 99% of universes he's in?" F.R.I.D.A.Y. jokingly asked.

The group roared in laughter, Mineta currently wailing with bloody tears in grief at the 'Unfairness', while Mei, Melissa, and David all focusing more on the AI's level of personality. Nezu himself chuckled and pondered if he would ever get a chance to meet this mysterious Zayden and see if he is as humorous as his creation claims to be.

"HEY, ENOUGH WITH THIS AI AWEING BULLSHIT AND LET'S GET BACK TO MY MOVIE!" Bakugou shouted in annoyance.

F.R.I.D.A.Y. grumbled silently at the 'nerve of the suicide encouraging bully' and continued the video.

In the bar, the crowd of viewers gasped in horror at the sight of the now named Whiplash and his weaponry's capabilities. Ibarra turned hurryingly towards the entrance to see Awase standing by the entrance, holding a red and silver grey suitcase.

Mei, David, and Melissa perked up at the sight of the strangely advanced briefcase and quickly picked up that it had a very important function.

Happy and Ibarra rushed towards their car, Ibarra shouting "Go go!"

Happy hit the gas as the car screeched away towards the track.

"Awase and Shio to the reshroom!" Kinoko punned.

"Huh, better pun." Setsuna said. "7 out of 10."

As the car was driving towards the gate towards the field, Happy shouted "Hang On!" The car slammed past the gate and zoomed down the track, race cars swerving past them.

"Can they even do that?" Mic asked. "You know legally?"

"Technically, they shouldn't." Tsukauchi replied. "Driving a car into an active race track is not exactly legal, but I guess since it is Stark's bodyguard going to protect his employer then I guess it could slide.

Katsuki continued racing down the track, his vision once again going blurry.

"Ok what's up with his vision?" Kamikiri asked. "That's like the second time now."

"Bakugou's counterpart might be experiencing the Palladium poisoning affecting his vision." Jurota deduced. "Last time he checked it, the poisoning was at 53%, much higher than before and he could be experiencing negative side-effects with the greater poisoning."

Izuku, Ibarra, and Kirishima gulped in fear.

Katsuki shook his head as his vision cleared...to see Ivan Vanko slashing at him with his electric whips.

"NO!" The students yelled in horror.

Katsuki Stark, inside his now hoodless race car, was sent flying, the hood slashed clean off as he tumbled down the track, Vanko turning and walking towards him, the whips scorching the ground as it was dragged across the asphalt.

"KACCHAN!/BAKUGOU!/KATSUKI!" Izuku, Kirishima, All Might, and Ibarra shouted in horror and worry.

Aizawa's scarf started shifting as the teacher looked on in with glaring red eyes.

"Shit, he cut through his car like it was a hot knife through butter!" Mineta screamed.

Katsuki, hanging upside down from the seat of the flipped car, removed his helmet.

"Oh good, Bakubro is ok." Kirishima sighed in relief.

"For now." Tokoyami pointed out.

Stark looked up to see Whiplash coming towards him, the race cars coming up behind him swerving and crashing into each other, they exploding and flying past the unconcerned Villain.

"Ok, hate that people are getting hurt from that, but that's actually kinda cool." Kaminari muttered. "Walking down onto him with an explosion behind him. Its a little badass."

"Unfortunately, your not wrong." Ojiro replied.

Back over with Ibarra and Awase, they raced down the track, heading towards Katsuki. Ibarra reaching over asking "Give me the case."

"Here, take it." Happy said as he passed the case over to her while still driving.

"Where's the key?!" Ibarra asked in a hurried panic.

"Its in my pocket." Happy informed as he tried to get it.

"Car!" Ibarra warned as Happy swerved out of the way.

"Man, you're one hell of a driver there, Awase." Kosei noted. "Driving towards a electric whip wielding maniac while dodging past race cars going super fast."

"Well its my counterpart doing it, not me." Awase reminded his classmate. "But thanks nonetheless."

Crowds of people ran for their lives out of away from the scene, as Whiplash walked towards Stark's flipped car. He raised his whip to attack.

"NO!" Ibarra yelled.

Whiplash slashed through the car, frowning as he inspected the cut clean car to find no Katsuki Stark.

"Wait where is he?" Nejire asked.

Katsuki came up form behind Whiplash, holding a broken of piece of a car and smacked it over Whiplash's head.

"Oooh! There he is!" Mirio said.

"Unwise of him." Aizawa said. "He is without the suit and left powerless compared to Vanko."

Ivan quickly recovered and slashed at Stark, Katsuki falling to the ground, the hood that shielded him flying away, scorched and useless. Whiplash lashed his whip towards the downed billionaire superhero, who rolled away from the electrical whip as it scorched the ground. Katsuki continued crawling away, rolling away from another attack.

Whiplash struck once more, Katsuki's split his legs wide as the whip struck a few centimeters from his nearly scorched nether regions.

Bakugou hissed as he subconsciously rubbed his crotch at the near injury of his counterpart.

"I have to say that he's doing well at dodging so far." All Might noted.

As Katsuki got up and tried to run away, Whiplash spun and slashed at the running Iron Man with a sideways slash, knocking Stark flying into the race car next to him, groaning as he fell to the ground.

"I think you may have spoke too soon." Midnight said.

Katsuki panted on the ground, a cut running from his cheek to his nose. He laid there on the ground as Whiplash continued walking towards him at a leisurely pace.

"Come on, Bakubro! Get Back Up and Get Out of There!" Kirishima yelled.

Katsuki looked at the mirror of the wrecked car, the mirror letting him see as Whiplash stalked towards him.

"Why is he not moving?!" Mina asked in worry.

He laid there as he stared at the leaking gas of the car.

Izuku's eyes widened in realization.

As he stalked closer towards his target, Whiplash swung his whips around him, menacingly whirling them around, as they scorched the asphalt beneath him and hummed in growing power.

"He's charging them up with his movement." David analyzed. "He's building up their power for a killing strike."

"Please please please Lord, help him back up." Ibarra prayed in worry and growing fear.

As Whiplash raised his right for the killing blow, Katsuki leapt at the last moment and dived away as the whip struck the car and the gas, exploding in a burst of fire.

"He dived away!" Pony yelled.

"Kacchan was laying still, to lure Vanko in by making him believe that he was down." Izuku explained. "And at the last moment dived away so that Whiplash could be hurt by the explosion from the car."

"He took advantage of Vanko's overconfidence and led him into a trap." Momo jumped in. "Quite the impressive combat ingenuity and resourcefulness."

Stark got back up, quickly looking towards his left arm, which was on fire and started quickly patting it out.

"Heheh." Midnight giggled. "But much fast enough to avoid a little fire on him."

"Be more quicker next time, Bakugou." Aizawa said.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, YOU INSOMIAC OF A TEACHER?!" Bakugou roared. "THAT'S NOT ME, THAT'S JUST A COUNTERPA-" Bakugou stopped his yelling at the glaring red eyes of his teacher, shuddering in fear. He sat down and grumbled. "Pfft, whatever."

The fires of the explosion started dying down, revealing Whiplash intact and without so much as a scratch or burn.

"Dammit, he's not hurt at all." Sato cursed. "He looks actually amused."

"Grr, He won't be smirking when I blast his face full of explosions!" Bakugou shouted.

As Whiplash stalked towards Stark, Awase and Ibarra's car came from around the corner and sped towards the two while honking the horn. Katsuki quickly jumped onto the fence while Whiplash turned around only to get rammed into the fence by the car, his whips shutting off.

"Oooh!" Setsuna flinched at the hit. "Nice job, Awase and Ibarra, you just ran into the dude."

"You also nearly ran into me, asshole!" Bakugou yelled at Awase. "What a shitty bodyguard you are!"

"Hey, I'm sure my other self was aiming for the dude attacking you!" Awase yelled back. "My other self honked that horn and warned you to move!"

"Is he dead?" Kosei asked. "He's not moving."

"He maybe just unconscious or stunned." Shindo replied.

"Are you ok?" Happy asked as Katsuki jumped down from the fence.

"Yeah." Katsuki said as he reached Happy, Ibarra meanwhile gasping and panting in shocked horror. "Were you heading for me or him? 'Cause I can't tell!"

"I was trying to scare him!" Happy yelled back in defense.

"Huh, I didn't know running into someone qualifies as scaring them." Sen said sarcastically, causing a few chuckles and Awase scoffing in embarrassment.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Ibarra snapped at Katsuki.

"We are still working on figuring that out." Mina said. "Oh, she meant their Bakugou!"

The students roared in laughter, Bakugou yelling "SHUT UP BEFORE I BLAST YOU ALL TO KINGDOM COME!"

"Better security." Katsuki simply said.

"Oh my god, is he really is he really shifting the blame or is he just joking?" Itsuka asked dumbfounded.

"Probably both." Yui responded.

"Get in the car right now!" Ibarra shouted. "Get in now!"

"I was attacked!" Katsuki yelled back. "We need better security."

"I have an idea to get him to stay put and secured." Kyouka said. "Cuff him to something or someone so that he can't move."

The group laughed again while Bakugou was so mad that the guys could have sworn literal steam was coming out of his ears.

"Get in the car!" Happy joined in the yelling.

"You're CEO." Katsuki said as he walked around the car to the other side. "Better security measures. God, its embarrassing."

Meanwhile, their Ibarra's eyes were currently twitching in annoyance and rage. 'Its a good thing he is cute because otherwise I would strangle him in my vines.'

Meanwhile, the metal components of Whiplash's harness moves and shifted, the tubes lighting back up with energy as his body moved.

"Uh oh." Mineta said. "He's waking up!"

"Hero Lesson kids." Mic said. "Make sure the Villain or criminal is 100% unconscious, or face the possibility of him waking up to cause more havoc."

"That's...actually some essential and helpful advice." Aizawa said. "Guess you aren't just some yelling, annoying pain in the ass."

"Aww! I made you proud of me Shouta!" Mic comically squealed. "Come here and give your best friend a hug!"

Shouta Aizawa groaned in annoyance and proceeded to whack Mic on the head.

"First vacation in two years." Katsuki grumbled as he opened the car door. Suddenly the door was slashed in half by Whiplash's whip, Ibarra and Happy screaming in fear.

"Oh my god!" Ibarra cursed.

"She cursed again!" Setsuna yelled in horror. "Lord, please forgive this saint who has sinned."

Itsuka had to hold back a pissed off Ibarra from strangling Setsuna.

Happy backed up the car from the now awake Villain before ramming back into him. "I got him!"

"Hit him again! Hit him again!" Katsuki ordered.

"Pfft, ok I know that they are fighting a crazed electric whip maniac but that's kind of funny." Sero chuckled.

"Football." Katsuki said as he tried reaching into the moving car for the case.

"Huh?" Kaminari said. "Why is he talking about football?"

"How much of an idiot are you?!" Bakugou asked/yelled. "He means to pass the case to him like they were playing football, you Dunce Head!"

Before Stark could grab the case, Happy rammed the car back into Vanko. "I got him!" Happy continued yelling as he backed up again.

"Take the case! Take it!" Ibarra yelled as she tried handing it to Katsuki, only for the moving vehicle to make Katsuki miss. "Stop banging the car!"

The students chuckled at the admittingly hilarious scene. Most of the heroes and teachers simply facepalmed.

"This is why we train and come up with plans." Vlad King groaned. "So we don't get these kinds of situations."

"Well she is only a civilian in this world." Midnight reminded him. "And she is in a moving vehicle that is crashing into a Villain, repeatedly."

Happy crashed the car into Ivan yet again, this time the air bags coming on.

"Wait now the air bags go up?" Shinsou asked. "And not the first time they ran into him? Or the other two times?"

"Faulty engineering, maybe?" Melissa said.

Whiplash, getting tired of the attacks, slashed at the car, Ibarra screaming in terror.

"Calm down!" Katsuki yelled as Whiplash attacked again, causing part of the roof of the car to cave and fall.

"God!" Ibarra yelled.

"Kind of hard to calm down when you are getting attacked by a electric whip psycho that is slashing through your car like a hot knife through butter." Mt. Lady noted.

As Katsuki went around, Whiplash struck again, slashing the car's left half off. "Give me the case! Please!" Katsuki shouted. "Come on!"

As Whiplash struggled to get the car off of him, Ibarra reached out and tossed the case towards Katsuki, it landing on the ground and sliding to his feet.

"Here we go!" Mei giggled in maniacal glee. "Show me what the baby can do!"

Rocking music played as Katsuki placed his foot on the case, pressing down on it as it shifted and opened up to reveal a more machinery. Two handles popped out from inside which Katsuki grabbed and pushed downward, encasing his arms and more of his body. He brought the former case up to his chest and spread out his arms, the former case revealing to be another Iron man suit.

"That Case Was Freaking Iron Man Suit?!" Sato yelled out in shock.

Momo and Iida were gaping and muttering, trying to figure out how that level of machinery was even possible. Melissa, Mei, and even David Shield were staring at the scene with gaping, drooling mouths and awe-filled, analyzing eyes. Bakugou smirked in pride, Izuku looked on with awe as he stared writing in his notes, and Ibarra starting feel extremely hot around her face section and a little wet downwards.

The suit started shifting and locking into gear around Katsuki, the crimson red armored pieces locking around his chest's sides, the sides of his arms and legs, the arc reactor in the middle of his chest, along with the circles on the palm of his hands, lighting up in its signature roar. The people in the stands exclaimed as they saw the Iron Man suiting up. Finally, the Katsuki's face was covered up by a silver faced and red helmet, the eyes lighting up white.

The suit in the end was colored crimson red and silver, much like its case form, the arc reactor and eyes lighting up white. Its chest has the arc reactor in the middle, as always, with a line of silver metal going the the suit's abdomen and towards his arms. The silver grey metal also trailed down the front of his legs and the under side of the arms, with the crimson red armor most prominent on the suit's chest's sides, the legs past the knees, shoulders, and arms and hands.

"Mark V engaged." Jarvis announced as the suit's hud came online.

Jaws dropped like flies in awe of the new Mark V, as Jarvis said. Mei slumped into her seat, passed out, David not falling far behind, while Melissa, wordlessly, extended her hand out to Deku, who, wordlessly too, gave her his notebook. Melissa snatched the notebook and immediately started writing like a madwoman.

"So. Fucking. MANLY!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu yelled.

"Wow. That was...actually pretty badass." Setsuna said. "Thoughts, Ibarra? Ibarra?"

Setsuna looked to her classmate, who's face was completely red, her eyes half lid and mouth open and slightly drooling. Setsuna then smelled something and looked down and nearly burst into laughter at her friend's state. 'Where's my god damn phone when I need it?! This is blackmail material here!'

Katsuki, now fully suited, kicked Happy and Ibarra's car away, the two sliding to safety from the two arc reactor-powered individuals.

"Smart move." Kamui said. "Securing civilians away from the scene before engaging with the Villain."

Stark and Whiplash stared each other down. Stark raised his left arm, humming and glowing as it prepared to fire a repulsor blast. Whiplash lashed his right whip, smacking Iron Man's hand away before he could fire. Iron Man aimed at the Villain again only to get another slash from Whiplash, a scorch mark going across Iron man's abdomen. Katsuki looked down at the damage and back at Vanko with wide, shocked eyes.

"The Iron Man suit seems to be able to withstand Whiplash's whips, probably because of its titanium alloy based armor." Power Loader said.

"However that scorch mark shows that it isn't invulnerable to it." David pointed. "Bakugou's counterpart is going to have to finish this quickly before those whips tear through his defenses."

Katsuki quickly reacted aiming his palm at Whiplash and firing a repulsor blast, only for the Russian Villain to destroy it with his whips. Katsuki fired again but Vanko attacked again too, smacking the blast away.

"This Whiplash must have some great reflexes and skill with his whips to be able to deflect those laser blasts so quickly." Asui noted.

"Come On Other Me!" Bakugou yelled. "Blast That Whip Guy Into The Ground!"

Whiplash counterattacked by shooting out his whip and wrapping it around Katsuki's arm, electricity sparking onto the armor like a web and scorching more of the suit. Whiplash quickly pressed on and had his other whip attach to Katsuki as well. Vanko grunted as he swung his arm to his side, swinging Bakugou to the ground behind him. Whiplash continued by tossing Stark again, this time onto the hood of Happy's car, before pulling him down to the ground again.

"Jesus, he's whipping him around all over the place." Sero said, frowning at seeing Bakugou getting beaten down by the Villain.

"With his whips, Vanko has a greater range of physical attacks than Bakugou, and the whips allow him to not only toss him around but also scorch through and shock his armor at the same time." Amajiki muttered.

Whiplash dislodged one of his whips from the grounded Stark, and charging up his right whip's energy, electricity surging as Stark was shocked.

The students and heroes flinched and growled at Vanko's attacks on Bakugou, Ibarra covering her eyes in fear and pain.

'Come on, Kacchan. Get up!' Deku mentally yelled at Katsuki Stark.

'Get up you billionaire idiot of myself and take him down!' Kacchan mentally roared at himself.

As he was shocked, Katsuki looked up, his eyes steeled and angry inside the helmet. He started wrapping his left arm around the whip attached to him and he pulled himself up. Whiplash lashed at Iron Man who ducked and continued advancing toward him while wrapping himself more with Vanko's whip.

"What is he doing?" Uraraka asked worried.

"He's advancing toward Whiplash while wrapping himself in his whip." Iida answered. "He's attempting to wrap himself more with Vanko's whip so that Vanko can't be able to pull it off of him while getting closer to Vanko."

"But isn't he just shocking himself more?" Torru asked.

"Yes, but he's risking that so that he can quickly reach Vanko and defeat him." Momo said. "Whiplash's whips are only truly effective and precise at mid to long ranges. The closer Bakugou gets to Vanko, the less power his whips deal. And While Bakugou is suited and can take the damage, Vanko isn't."

"Vanko fought from a distance because he is virtually unprotected up close." Todoroki jumped in. "And the more closer Bakugou gets, the less that Vanko can also attack, since he would be risking hurting himself with his own whips."

The teachers and heroes looked down at the students and smiled in pride at their deduction and analysis, glad to see their training and experience shown through their analysis of the Villain's weakness.

As Katsuki reached the Russian Villain, he struck him with two armored punches before grabbing him by his whips and tossing upwards before tossing him down to the ground. Iron Man quickly marched over and ripped the arc reactor from the harness, the whip's power going dead and Whiplash ultimately defeated.

The group and the crowd in the video cheered at Katsuki's victory. Bakugou let out a tiny sigh of relief before quickly covering it up by smiling and laughing in victory. Ibarra breathed a sigh of relief of her own before covering it up herself by clapping at Bakugou victory.

The two chose to be unaware of the teasing and smirking faces of Setsuna and Izuku, staring at the two. The two green headed teens looked towards the opposite of the two lovebirds and noticed the other green haired teen. The two stared at each other in silence before the two quickly realizing what theyw ere doing and returned back to the movie.

Meanwhile, Izuku thought with a blush 'Setsuna's actually k-kinda...cute. A-And also p-pretty.'

Setsuna, also blushing, thought 'How can Green Bean be so fucking cute and hot at the same time?!'

Back to the movie, CRS agents quickly rushed in on the defeated Whiplash. Ibarra and Happy looked over at the scene, panting in exhaustion and relief that the fight was over. Katsuki looked down on the arc reactor and back at the Russian man as he was being dragged away.

Vanko spat out blood at the billionaire hero and laughed. "You lose!" Vanko yelled out as he continued laughing. "You lose! You lose, Stark!"

"What?!" Kaminari yelled. "How did he lose?!"

"For Once I agree With Dunce Head Here!" Bakugou roared, his eyes comically glowing red. "I WON THE FIGHT YOU SHITTY WHIP-LOVING VILLAIN! HOW DID I LOSE?!"

Stark looked back down at the arc reactor in his hands, the suit analyzing it, before he crushed it in his hands.

Izuku's eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed "I KNOW WHAT HE MEANT!"

The group whirled their heads at the exclaiming green bean. Mei said "Well then enlighten us, Muscles. What did that Whiplash guy mean?"

"Remember back during the conference where Kacchan was making his case against giving the Iron Man suit to the US military?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah. And?" Ojiro asked Izuku to continue.

"That Senator and Hammer were trying to get Kacchan's counterpart to give the Iron Man suit to the military by showing how other countries were attempting to replicate their own Iron Man based weapons. " Izuku explained. "Kacchan managed to deny them that by showing that they were failing and that no one at this time could recreate the Iron Man weapons. But now that Vanko attacked Kacchan with a weapon powered by an arc reactor in public-"

"Bakugou's claim that they were safe was proven false." Iida jumped in, his eyes widening in realization. "And Vanko, who was watching the meeting, proved that there are others who could make those powerful weapons."

"Meaning that Congress can have a legitimate cause to demand the Iron Man suits against Bakugou's wishes." Jurota joined in too.

"Bakugou may have won the physical battle against Vanko, but by proving that others could replicate his weapons, others that could share that knowledge with other militaries or terrorists, Bakugou ultimately lost the true battle." Momo finished up.

Bakugou gritted his teeth in anger and frustration as he was told that even though he beat the Villain, he still lost, which stung against Bakugou's pride and beliefs.

Meanwhile, back at the bar, while the crowd of people looked and whispered among themselves in fear and horror, Justin Hammer smirked.

The group stared at Hammer in suspicion.

"Is he smiling because Bakugou got his ass handed to him by Vanko, or that now he might be getting Iron Man-like weapons, or both?" Sato asked.

"Most likely both." Tokoyami replied.

The scene changed to have Bakugou walking down a dark hallway with a French man saying in French "Misuser Stark. We ran his prints. We got nothing back, not even a name."

"I'm pretty sure, legally speaking, that he shouldn't be telling him that information." Tsukauchi said. "He might have been attacked by Vanko, the police, of any country, shouldn't just leisurely reveal police information to what is still classified as a civilian."

"But isn't he a hero?" Kamakiri said. "Or at least, this world's version of one?"

"Technically, while he may be classified as a hero in our eyes, he would legally be viewed as either a civilian with access to advanced weaponry or a vigilante." Tsukauchi said. "This world doesn't appear to have Heroes with Quirks or superpowers, as far as we know, so the role of 'Hero' in our world doesn't seem to be the same there, at least in legal terms where they can have access to police records and be informed of police information."

"Where are we going?" Katsuki asked in French.

"Great, he's a billionaire, an inventor, a hero, a babe magnet, and now bilingual?!" Mineta yelled. "Why is life so unfair?!"

"Because I'm Awesome, you Purple Pervert!" Bakugou replied.

"Over there." The man pointed. "We're not even sure he speaks English. He hasn't said a word since he got here."

"Five Minutes." Katsuki said.

The door to the room opened, Katsuki saying his thanks in French before going in, the door closed behind him. Katsuki stared at the near naked form of the cuffed Ivan Vanko, who was wearing only his underwear, showing the numerous amounts of tattoos all over his body.

A few seconds of silence passed before Katsuki started walking towards the man who attacked him. Stark said "Pretty decent tech. Cycles per second were a little low. You could have doubled up your rotations."

"Is he seriously giving the Villain advice in how to better his weapons?" Death Arms asked. "Even if he might be going away forever, who's to say he won't break out and take his advice?"

"How incredibly arrogant of him to brag about his own intellect and engineering skil-*ACK*!" Monoma said before getting knocked out by Kendo.

Katsuki walked closer to the where Vanko sat. "You focused the repulsor energy through ionized plasma channels." Katsuki continued. "Its effective. Not very efficient. But its a passable knock-off."

"Huh, so that's how it cut through all that metal so easily." Melissa said. "The energy was so hot that it was like whips made of plasma that cut through almost any metal easily."

"And why Stark's Iron Man suit survived the encounter." Mei jumped in. "Titanium is extremely difficult to cut through. Plasma can cut through them but even that would take longer than any other use, except perhaps carbide-tipped band saw blades."

F.R.I.D.A.Y. paused the video and showed the schematics of the Mark V suit, saying "The Mark V armor's metallic material is currently unknown but is not comprised of the standard titanium alloy material used for the other Iron Man suits. Main usage of the Mark V suit is for emergency uses in civilian environments and easily accessibility in such emergency situations. Standard titanium alloy was not used for easier transportation due to the weight of the titanium alloy."

"Huh, don't you hate when all that analysis and brain power used to figure out something is then easily proven wrong." Sero said truthfully, as Mei and Melissa slumped down in sad that they were wrong, Izuku and the rest beside them trying to cheer them up.

Katsuki sat down on the bench a few feet away from Vanko and continued with "I don't get it. A little fine tuning, you could have made a solid paycheck. You could have sold it to North Korea, China, Iran, or gone right to the black market." Vanko turned to face Stark, still smirking while Katsuki looked serious. "You look like you got friends in low places. "

Ivan spoke with "You come from a family of thieves and butchers. And now, like all guilty men, you try to rewrite your own history. And you forget all the lives the Stark family has destroyed. "

"Could he be referring to his father and his work on the arc reactor?" Uraraka asked.

Izuku nodded. "His father must have been tossed aside by Bakugou's dad for something and caused him to fall on hard time, along with Ivan, but to Ivan and his father, Uncle Masaru was the one at fault."

"Vanko is also talking about Bakugou creating and supplying people with weapons." Todoroki jumped in. "Selling weapons that would end up with terrorists and the innocent lives and families that were taken."

Power Loader and Mei frowned and lowered their head, the memory of his counterpart and his destroyed family and village still fresh in their minds.

"So, when he says that he's trying to rewrite his own history as a 'guilty man', he means Stark's attempts to not give the Iron Man weapon away or not produce any other weapons?" Ojiro asked.

"Right." Shinsou said.

"Speaking of thieves, where did you get this design?" Katsuki asked, physically unfazed.

"My father. Anton Vanko." Ivan revealed.

"Oh so it was his father." Sen said. "Nice to clear that up."

"Well, I never heard of him." Katsuki said.

"My father is the reason you are alive." Ivan said.

"So he did work on the arc reactor with Bakugou's father." David said. "I wonder what happened between the two that led to this?"

"The reason I'm alive is 'cause you had a shot, you took it, you missed." Katsuki said.

"Did I?" Ivan questioned.

The group frowned and leaned closer to listen more intently.

"If you can make God bleed, the people will cease to believe in him." Ivan explained. "And there will be blood in the water. And the sharks will come."

All Might's eyes widened in realization. He looked and clasped his wound, realizing what Vanko was saying.

"Wait what does he mean by that?" Kirishima asked. "Sharks and blood in water?"

"What he means Young Kirishima is that the world looks to Young Bakugou's counterpart like an unbeatable, unstoppable hero or God." All Might replied. "No ones tries to face him because they are afraid that they can't defeat him. But since Vanko showed that Young Bakugou isn't invincible, then others will try to do the same as Vanko and try to attack him. But what he truly wished was for the people to stop believing in Bakugou and see him as someone fallible and vulnerable. Someone that they can't put all their faith and hope on."

The students frowned at the true but worrying answer. Bakugou growled in anger, enraged at Vanko's true plan succeeding and making a fool of him.

Endeavor looked to All Might and gained an inquisitive look. 'So, that's why you kept this form of yours hidden from the public for so long.' Endeavor thought. 'If you had revealed it sooner, then the crime rate would have gone up faster than it did, the people would have grown fearful that their mighty Symbol of Peace was not invincible.' Endeavor looked to his hand. 'And now, without your same air of invincibility and inspirational power, I am failing at keeping that pedestal you made from crumbling.' Endeavor gripped his hand. 'But...I will do the best that I can to keep that pedestal from falling down for good. To be a Symbol and Hero of my own kind.' Endeavor looked to his son. 'I made a promise.'

Izuku looked to All Might and thought. 'You are speaking from experience, All Might. You tried so hard to keep your weakened form hidden that you strained yourself everyday to teach us all you can about being the greatest heroes we can be.' Izuku looked to his own, scarred hand. 'You passed not just your Quirk onto me, but also your beliefs and your trust. To pass on this power to use to save all those I can reach. To inspire others. To become a better Symbol of Peace and Hero than even you.' Izuku frowned, his hand clenching. 'I won't let my failings drag me down. I won't let you down. I swore to you that I will be the Greatest Hero in the World. And I won't break that promise.'

"The truth, all I have to do is sit here and watch, as the world will consume you." Vanko finished.

All Might growled as he remembered his conversation with All For One in Tartarus.

"Any rise in crime moving forward is due to you concealing your strength." All Might remembered All For One's words. "And now you won't be able to save anyone. You've been relegated to the sidelines, doomed to watch society fall apart as Villains flourish because of your own arrogance. Powerless for the rest of your days."

'Even without my strength, I'll do as I said to you before, All For One.' All Might mentally said. 'Ill smash your plans into oblivion. Without power or not, I will strive to make a difference by teaching my students, my successor, to be all they can be. You will be the one powerless on the sidelines.'

"Where will you be watching the world consume me from?" Katsuki asked as he got up and walked away. "That's right. A prison cell. I'll send you a bar of soup."

All Might smirked. 'My thoughts exactly.'

"Hey Katsuki." Ivan spoke out, causing Katsuki to stop "Before you go, palladium in the chest, painful way to die."

Katsuki froze for a few seconds before knocking on the door, leaving as it opened, leaving Vanko chuckling.

"Wait how did he know about the palladium poisoning?" Mina asked.

"I guess since his father worked on the arc reactor, and he build his own, he would know about the ill effects about palladium poisoning." Melissa answered. "It could be what ultimately killed his father too."

The scene changed to a plane flying through the shy, Ibarra, on board, watching Senator Stern on the TV. "It's just unbelievable." Stern said. "It proves that the genie is out of the bottle and this man has no idea what he's doing."

"Ugh, not more of this Senator." Nejire scoffed in disgust. "He's a big meanie."

Bakugou stuck out his middle finger towards the Senator.

"He thinks of the Iron Man weapon as a toy." Stern continued saying as Katsuki walked in and sighed in annoyance. "I was at a hearing where Mr. Stark, in fact, was adamant that these suits can't exist anywhere else, don't exist anywhere else, never will exist anywhere else, at least for five to ten years, and here we are in Monaco realizing 'Uh Oh'. These suits exist now."

"Eh, technically he was right." Miruko pointed out. "He said that the Suits wouldn't exist anywhere else, not that power source of the suits."

"Eh, semantics." Hawks shrugged.

"Mute." Katsuki ordered.

"Thank you." Nejire thanked the counterpart to Bakugou.

Katsuki walked in and sat down in the seat opposite to Ibarra saying "He should be giving me a medal. That's the truth." Katsuki placed a tray and utensils onto the table next to his seat.

"What is that?" Ibarra asked confused.

"This is your in-flight meal." Stark said as he lifted the cover and revealed a plate of what looked like half-burnt food.

"Uh...I'm not even sure if that is edible." Sero said. "What the hell is that?"

"I think that's an omlette." Sato said. "Or at least, a half-burnt, inedible one."

"Did you just make that?" Ibarra asked.

"Yeah, where do you think I've been for the past three hours?" Katsuki rhetorically asked.

"I guess you are going to have to be the cook in the relationship." Setsuna whispered to Shiozaki.

Shiozaki was conflicted on whether to giggle at Bakugou's counterparts horrible cooking, blush and rebuke Setsuna's words, or just straight strangle the lizard girl's neck with her vines. She was very tempted on the third option.

"Wow, Bakugou, didn't know you were such a horrible cook." Kaminari teased the explosive blonde.

"SCREW YOU, YOU DISCOUNT PIKACHU!" Bakugou roared back. "I'M A GREAT COOK!"

"Really?" Mina asked.

"My hag of a mom and Auntie Inko forced tutored me and Deku on how to cook." Bakugou said with a scoff.

"You can cook too, Deku?" Uraraka asked her crush.

"U-uh y-yeah." Izuku replied. "Aunt Mitsuki and my mom were really insistent that me and Kacchan know how to cook to 'impress the girls'." Izuku suddenly shivered as an aura of fear surrounded him. "All those hours and days practicing. And Auntie's training."

Izuku and Bakugou both shivered in fear, much to both the amusement of the group and the mental wondering of just how brutal Bakugou and Midoriya's moms are. They decided on not to try and imagine it.

Meanwhile, the girls were busy in lala land, imagining, and getting nosebleeds and drooling mouths, over the mental image of Deku, wearing an apron that said 'Kiss The Cook', cooking their favorite foods. Ibarra was the same, but with her daydream having Bakugou instead, and his apron saying 'Smoking Hot'.

Ibarra was quite for a second with a bemused smile before she said "Katsuki, what are you not telling me?"

Katsuki looked back at Ibarra, silent for a second, before answering with "I don't want to go home. At all. Let's just cancel my birthday party and uh...We're in Europe. Let's go to Venice, Cipriani. Remember?"

Ibarra chuckled. "Yes, I remember."

"Its a great place to-" Katsuki froze on the wording. "Be healthy."

'Please accept. Please accept. Please accept.' Ibarra prayed/demanded mentally.

"I don't think this is the right time." Ibarra replied. "We're in kind of a mess."

Inside Ibarra's mind, she was mentally screaming like a demonic banshee.

"Yeah, but maybe that's why its the best time." Katsuki retorted. "'Cause we can-"

"Well I think as the CEO," Ibarra cut Katsuki off. "I need to show up."

"As CEO, you are entitled to a leave." Katsuki replied.

"A leave?" Ibarra questioned.

"A company retreat." Katsuki rephrased. "Just a ride."

"A retreat?" Ibarra continued to question. "In a time like this?"

"Well, I'm just saying, to recharge our batteries and figure it all out." Katsuki said.

"Not everyone runs on batteries, Katsuki." Ibarra replied.

Mount Lady hissed, her face cringing. "Accurate, but a poor choice of words."

All Might frowned as he massaged his wound, remembering how he himself ran on a battery everyday on how long he could be his muscular self.

Katsuki looked at Ibarra, his smirk full of mirth and sad amusement at her words.

Bakugou frown. 'Dammit. Why couldn't she just accept? And why couldn't other me tell her the truth?' Bakugou flinched at his last mental question. Bakugou looked at Ibarra discreetly. 'Not like I am any better.'

The scene changed to Ivan Vanko, donned in a grey prisoner clothes with the number 6215 printed on it, sitting by his bed as he stared at the sink in front of him.

The heroes frown in suspicion at why they were seeing Vanko in jail.

A guard came up to Ivan's cell and placed a tray of food on the bars of the cell and left. Ivan got up to take the tray, but as he moved the cup of water, he found a note placed discreetly under the cup. Ivan quickly and discreetly moved to his bed and unwrapped the note.

The note read 'Enjoy the potatoes'.

The heroes and some of the students' eyes were raised in alarm, red alert alarms ringing in their heads.

Ivan flipped over the fake potatoes to see a timer on the back that had the number 35 in a red timer.

"Oh shit!" Mineta yelled. "Its a fucking bomb!"

Mineta was then slapped by a certain black whip. "Language." Izuku said as he covered Eri's and Kouta's ears with Black Whip with his other arm.

Ivan heard footsteps and turned around to see the guard returning to and unlocking his cell. Another prisoner was shoved into the cell and, upon closer examination, Ivan saw that the prisoner's number on his clothes was the same as his, 6219.

"Someone sent Vanko a bomb to explode and another prisoner to die and take his place." Ryukyu explained.

"A smart, yet barbaric plan." Nezu said.

Ivan smiled as he quickly knocked the prisoner unconscious, the guard coming back around and placing a key by the bars of Ivan's cell. Ivan placed the faux potatoes onto the wall and activated the timer. Ivan grabbed the key and unlocked his cell, opening it and walking out, leaving behind the unconscious prisoner and a ticking bomb.

"He's Loose!" Kaminari shouted.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Kyouka said.

Ivan walked down the hall, passing by a guard who stopped and confronted him, shouting something in French. Ivan simply turned around, struck the guard with a solid punch to the gut before grabbing the guard's neck and snapping it.

Tsukauchi watched the scene with anger and disgust. Anger at the Ivan's murder of a prison guard and his escape and disgust at the corrupt prison guard letting him out and helping him.

Ivan wiped his shoulder and he continued walking down the hall as his former prison cell exploded. Ivan walked down the stairs of the prison, sirens blaring all around him. Ivan turned a corner to see a locked gate with guards rushing towards it. Ivan immediately turned back upstairs only to get grabbed by two guards.

"Phew." Pixie Bob sighed. "At least he was caught before he could-"

The guards cuffed him and tossed a sack over his head. The two guards led him down the halls, passing by unsuspecting guards, before getting outside and tossing Ivan into the back of a van, shutting the door and the screen going black.

"You were saying?" Mandalay asked.

"Nothing." Pixie Bob sighed, this time embarrassment.

"Spoke too soon." Ragdoll laughed.

The screen gained color as the doors were opened, revealing them to be inside a hangar with a plane. The guards removed the bag over Ivan's head, the Russian Villain looking to see Justin Hammer over by the plane, sitting at a table, with a group of butlers over to the side as soft classical music was playing.

"Knew it." Tokoyami grumbled. "Hammer arranged Vanko's escape."

Ivan walked off the van and walked towards Justin Hammer who said "Hey, there he is. There he is." He got up and walked towards them. "What an absolute pleasure. Welcome."

Hammer looked at Ivan's cuffs and said "Oh goodness gracious. Can we get the handcuffs off my friend here?" The guard removed Ivan's handcuffs. "Forgive me, I'm sorry. I'm such a huge fan of yours. I didn't want to make a first impression like this. He's not an animal. Come on."

"Might as well be one." Endeavor growled.

"He's a human being. Thank you." Hammer thanked the guard turned to him and spoke in French, Hammer saying "Oui oui. We're fine." as he dismissed them. He turned to Ivan and greeted the man with a handshake. "My name is Justin Hammer. I'd like to do some business with you. Please sit."

"This isn't good." Kamakiri mumbled.

"Indeed." Jurota replied. "Hammer must want Vanko's help in creating his own Iron Man or arc reactor weapons."

The two Villains sat down, Justin saying "Dig in. What do we have today, Jack?"

A butler, now named Jack, walked in and said "Some salmon carpaccio."

"Salmon carpaccio." Hammer repeated as he ate from his plate. "Anything you want here, we got it. I like my dessert first. I had this flown in from San Francisco. Its Italian though. Organic Ice Cream."

"That is such a waste of precious money! Even if he is a billionaire!" Uraraka yelled in outrage. "Who would waste such money to fly in dessert from another state or country?!"

Momo innocently whistled as she decided to not tell Uraraka about the time her parents flew in a plethora of food and deserts from all over the world for her admittance to U.A.

"I got a sweet tooth." Hammer admitted. "Apparently you do, too, for Katsuki Stark." Ivan meanwhile was watching the waiters work, confused and alert, as Hammer continued. "What I saw you do to Katsuki Stark on that track, how you stepped up to him in front of God and everybody, that was...Wow!"

"Manipulating through sweet talk." Shinsou said. "Psychology 101."

"Did you learned this because your Quirk requires you to manipulate people into speaking to you?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, though I prefer egging them instead of sweet talking them." Shinsou replied. "Makes them more likely to lose their guard when their cool is lost."

Izuku nodded in agreement, himself a victim of said form of manipulation.

"You spoke to me with what you did." Justin said. "I know that you knew that I'd be listening."

"Is he understanding what Vanko did or is was there more to what Vanko intended other than humiliate Bakugou?" Sato asked.

"He could be simply saying that he is interested in Vanko's expertise when it came to creating arc reactor powered weapons and wish to recruit him." Tokoyami said.

"This is why I couldn't bear to have you shipped off to God knows where." Hammer explained. "It would have been such a waste of talent."

"Oh ok, understood." Sato said.

"But if I might make a suggestion," Hammer continued as Vanko leaned in. "You know, you don't just go and try and kill the guy. I think, if I may, you go after his legacy. That's what you kill."

Endeavor felt the hairs on his neck raise and a shudder of fear reverberate through him. He shook himself, his mind silently processing what the sudden sensation was about. Meanwhile, he was unaware of the same sensation happening to both Shoto and a certain self-burning Villain, except for the later shuddering with mad glee.

All Might frowned at the words of Hammer, remembering his final clash with All For One in Kamino and his attempts to destroy his legacy by attempting to shatter his image as the mighty Symbol of Peace in front of the viewing world.

"You and me, we are a lot alike in a lot of ways." Justin continue talking. "The only difference between you and I is that I have resources. I think, if I may, you need my resources. Someone behind you, a benefactor of sorts. And I'd like to be that guy."

Ivan started laughing amused, before he sighed and spoke in Russian.

"Okay." Hammer said, his eyes showing his confusion. "Do you speak English? Because I can get a translator. I don't know. Have you been understanding everything I'm saying?"

"It would have been a little funny if that were the case." Kamakiri said. "Imagine he sung that guy with praises and said all that shit, only for that Ivan guy not have understood a word."

He and some of the group chuckled at the thought of such a hilarious outcome.

"Very good, man." Vanko translated.

"Very good, man." Hammer repeated as he and Vanko laughed. "Hey. Huh?" Hammer raised his glass to Vanko, who raised and tapped his bottle with Hammer's glass.

"Hey." Vanko said. "I want my bird."

"A bird?" Nejire said confused before he face lit up in realization. "Oh right! That white bird from his home! What kind of bird was that?"

"A Cockatoo." Koda shyly answered.

"Hey, we managed to get a word out of you, Koda!" Torru said joyfully.

Koda blushed and hid his face in his hand shyly.

Mina sighed. "Oh well, its progress."

Hammer looked perplexed. "A bird? You want a bird?"

"I want my bird." Vanko repeated.

"I can get you a bird." Hammer agreed. "I can get you 10 birds."

Vanko pounded the table saying "I want My bird."

"Well ok." Hammer quickly said. "Well, nothing's impossible. Are we talking about...Is this a bird back in Russia?"

"Nothing's impossible with money, I guess." Uraraka grumbled. "Who would waste all that money to just go and transport a bird all the way from Russia?"

Momo once again whistled innocently, remembering how her mom spend close to a grand in US dollars just to have her pet horse shipped to Japan from America.

The scene changed to Ibarra and Olivia inside Stark Manor, both on the phone and on their laptops, while three TV screens, all on different channels, all played the same news of Vanko's attack in Monaco.

"Yes, but the fundamentals of the company are still very, very strong, despite the events of Monaco." Ibarra said on the phone.

"Yes, yes of course." Olivia said to her caller before turning to Ibarra and whispered. "The AP wants a quote."

"Don't tell him." Ibarra whispered. "Fax them."

"Do people still fax?" Kaminari said. "Isn't that super old and retro to do?"

"Faxing was still widely use during the early 2000's and 2010's. They are even still used widely today." Nezu replied. "It is a far more easier and safer to use for corresponding between employees and companies both in lesser risk of hacking and beneficial both legally and socially."

"Shouldn't be surprised that the boss is so passionate about faxing." Snipe whispered to Ectoplasm. "He sends all of faxes more times than I can count."

"Indeed." Ectoplasm whispered back.

Kirishima walked in and asked "Where is he?"

"He doesn't want to be disturbed." Olivia responded.

"He's downstairs." Ibarra answered at the same time.

"...what happened in Monaco?" the news reporter said as Kirishima turned his attention to the TV. "But his continuing erratic behavior, may lead many people to ask themselves: 'Can this man still protect us?'"

All Might and Endeavor flinched once more, feeling like these events were all too familiar to their own recent events. Endeavor has heard this same question ask by many news channels about himself ever since All Might retired, or rather the actual question being 'Can Endeavor even protect us like All Might?' Endeavor knew the answer, everyone knew the answer, but Endeavor strived to remember his words in response to the question. 'Just watch what I do.'

"Iron Man never stopped protecting us." Ibarra said to her caller, while Kirishima frowned at the news. "The events in Monaco proved that."

"You kinda look worried there, Kirishima." Sero pointed out.

"Obviously I am!" Kirishima shouted in reply. "Of course I would be worried for my Bakubro!"

"Stop saying that ridiculous name!" Bakugou yelled.

"Aww, don't be like that, Bakubro." Kirishima said teasingly. "Come give your bro a hug."

"GET AWAY FROM ME SHITTY HAIR!" Bakugou roared in reply, blushing as he heard Ibarra giggling. Bakugou looked at his 'bro', who he was holding back, who smiled and winked at him. Bakugou, realizing Kirishima planned for that, smiled and thought 'Not bad, Sh-Kirishima. Thanks...bro.'

Meanwhile, downstairs, Katsuki Stark sat in an open roof car while a large series of holographic screens showed images and records.

"Query complete, sir." Jarvis reported. "Anton Vanko was a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963." Jarvis pulled up images of Anton Vanko along with a newspaper that read 'Soviet Scientist Vanko defects'.

"So he's figuring out who Ivan and his father are." Iida noted. "So this Vanko was a defected scientist from Soviet Russia around the height of the Cold War."

"But why was he in Russia and looked terrible?" Uraraka asked.

Jarvis unknowingly replied by continuing with "However, he was accused of espionage and was deported in 1967." Jarvis showed another newspaper, who's article read 'Vanko Guilty of Spying'. "His son, Ivan, who is also a physicist," Jarvis pulled up an image of Ivan with a newspaper that read 'Russian Physicist Convicted'. "Was convicted of selling Soviet-era, weapon-grade plutonium to Pakistan, and served 15 years in Kopeisk prison. No further records exist."

"So Anton was a spy, or at least was accused of being a spy, and was shipped back to Russia, where he might have lived a hard life from shame and his name discredited." Momo said. "And his, Ivan, followed in his father's footsteps till he was caught and sent to jail. From what is here, Ivan must blame Stark and his father for his ruined life."

"Screw that!" Bakugou yelled. "I'm guilty of shit! Wasn't my fault, or my old man's fault, his old man was a spy and that bastard went down a path of crime! Whatever shit happened to him is his own fault!"

The students and heroes nodded at Bakugou's reasoning; however, Torru decided to ask "But what if Anton wasn't a spy?" Bakugou whirled to look at the semi-visible teenage girl. "What if that Anton Vanko guy wasn't guilty and he was unjustly deported? Wouldn't that then mean that whoever accused him, possibly your dad, was wrong and at fault?"

Bakugou was about to retort but froze as he processed what Hagakure asked. 'Was he really innocent?' Bakugou mentally questioned himself. 'I know my old man. He wouldn't make such an accusation without proof, if he even had the balls to stand up like that. But...this isn't really pops. Just a counterpart. My old man isn't an inventor or business owner, and I'm not a billionaire, Quirkless genius.' He looked to his counterpart, who appeared frowning and pensively thinking. 'C-Could my old man...really have made a mistake? Did my old man...ruined a man and his son's life?'

As Katsuki lowered his head, frowning in thought, Kirishima entered the passcode and entered the room. "Katsuki, you gotta get upstairs and get on top of this situation right now." Kirishima said as he walked towards his billionaire, inventor, superhero friend. "Listen. I've been on the phone with the National Guard all day, trying to talk them out of rolling tanks up to PCH, knocking down your front door and taking these."

"Wow, nice job Kirishima." Tetsutetsu said. "Coming in with the save again. Really Manly!"

"Thanks man." Kirishima said.

"I agree." David Shield said. "I impressed with your counterpart's persuasion skills, Kirishima. I have had first hand experience in dealing with American Military and they can be Very stubborn."

"T-Thanks, Mr. Shield." Kirishima said, blushing at the compliment from the famous David Shield.

Kirishima pointed and walked towards the Iron Man suits and continued "They're gonna take your suits, Katsuki, okay? They're sick of the games." Katsuki continued looking at the images of Ivan Vanko as Kirishima continued. "You said nobody else would possess this technology for 10 years. Well, guess what? Somebody else had it yesterday. Its not theoretical anymore."

"Are you even listening to me?" Kirishima walked up to Katsuki, who looked at him lazily, his face covered in sweat and breathing slowly. Kirishima frowned in concern and bent down and placed a hand on Katsuki's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Sheesh, you look terrible dude!" Kaminari said. "Wait, is this from the palladium poisoning again?!"

"It looks like it." Melissa said. "He looks like he's about to pass out any second."

Bakugou gritted his teeth once again in rage at his other self's deadly situation, while fear once again gripped Ibarra's heart with fear.

Both Izuku and Kirishima flinched and clenched their fists at seeing their incredibly strong, confident friend look like he was halfway to Death's door.

Katsuki patted Kirishima's arm and smiled gratefully. "Let's go." He said as he climbed out of the car from the other side.

As he got out, Katsuki gasped and slipped, catching himself barely on the side of the car.

Ibarra whimpered in fear and pain at seeing her crush in pain. Setsuna flinched at seeing her reaction and decided not to comment. All Might and Aizawa frowned, both feeling incredibly upset at seeing their student's look alike looking so frail and sick.

"Hey hey!" Kirishima quickly rushed to Katsuki's side and helped his friend up. "You alright?"

"Yeah yeah, I should get to my desk." Katsuki grunted out. Kirishima helped Katsuki to the desk, Katsuki gasping out "See that cigar box?"

"Bakugou! Smoking Is Extremely Unhealthy and Detrimental To Your Health! Especially When You Are So Ill!" Iida preached.

"Um Iida, he means that cigar box where he keeps those drives to keep him alive." Asui pointed out.

Iida blushed in embarrassment and sat back down, the group earning some chuckles. Aizawa however realized Iida's intent and the results, that being a slightly raised mood, and chuckled softly to himself at his student's self-sacrificing, nature. Almost like Shi-

"Hey Shouta" Aizawa eyes widened at the voice. He whirled to the source of said voice and say...a confused, slightly concerned Mic. "You ok, man?"

Aizawa shook and cleared his head. "Y-Yeah. I'm fine. Let's just watch the damn videos so I can go to sleep sooner."

Mic raised his eyebrow, unconvinced, but looked back at the screen nonetheless.

Meanwhile, inside Aizawa's head, he thought 'Huh. I still miss you. Shirakumo.'

Kirishima placed Katsuki on the chair of the desk, quickly going over to the cigar box and opening it, to see a couple of drives. Kirishima looked at Katsuki confused, as Katsuki removed his chest piece, it opening to reveal a similar drive, this one however looking burnt and was smoking. "Is that supposed to be smoking?" Kirishima questioned.

"If you must know it's neutron damage." Katsuki said. "Its from the reactor wall."

"Is he telling the truth or is he lying again?" Sero asked.

"He could be telling the truth." Melissa said. "Neutron damage could be associated, from what we've seen, that could be causing the palladium cores to burn up."

Katsuki gave Kirishima the chest piece, who removed the burnt drive, inspected it, and asked "You had this in your body?"

Eri whimpered at the sight of her 'Uncle Kacchan' so hurt and hugged Izuku and Mirio, who comforted the upset girl.

Katsuki grabbed the core and new drive and turned the chair around, facing away from Kirishima, who narrowed his eyes at Katsuki's neck. "And how about the high-tech crossword puzzle on your neck?" He questioned again, this time more forcefully.

True to Kirishima's words, intersecting black lines appeared creeping up the side of Katsuki's neck.

"Jesus!" Kyouka cursed in shock.

Mina, Uraraka, and Torru both clasped their hands over their hands in shock and horror, both feeling slightly nauseous. Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari frowned and hissed at the sight of the lines, Kirishima practically clenching his seat. Iida, Momo, and Todoroki frown darkly at Bakugou's rapidly worsening condition. Mirio worked to block the sight from Eri, he himself flinching and frowning.

"Those black line are signs that the palladium poisoning is worsening greatly." Recovery Girl said. "Those are likely his veins, or connected to them, and their blackening color is signs of serious blood poisoning, which explains his gasping and sweat."

Aizawa's eyes glowed red as his anger over his student's condition grew worse. All Might grew angrier at the cruel fate that Bakugou was given, saving himself from death only to be in his slowly dying state for doing so. All Might gripped his wound, his anger rising at how his wish, for something as bad as this to never happen to one of his students or loved ones, appeared to have gone unheeded in another world.

As he helped keep Kouta's eyes closed from the sight, Izuku's eyes widened in pure horror, tiny drops of tears leaking before shook them away as his anger started to surge, tiny sparks of green lightning sparking from him, enraged at what is happening to his oldest, former childhood friend.

Ibarra was a second away from bawling into tears, with the 1-B girls doing their best to comfort her, while as non-obvious as they could.

Bakugou meanwhile, was silent, his expression hidden behind the shadows of his hair. Underneath said shadows, Bakugou's eyes were wide and emotionless. 'Am I being punished for something?' He thought. 'Is my other self facing some punishment for being a self-centered jerk for so long? Or is he being punished for Me being a self-centered jerk for so long' He thought back to the days before U.A., the mocking laughs, the explosions, the beatings onto a certain green-haired kid. The so-called advice. 'Is my other me being punished for that? For my stupid mistake? Because is not...then why dammit?!'

"Road rash." Stark lied.

"Okay Now he's clearly lying." Kaminari said.

Kirishima frowned that Bakugou would lie to him, even if these were other versions of themselves.

Kirishima looked at Katsuki incredulously, not buying his lie, but gave the arc reactor back to Katsuki. "Thank you." Katsuki said as he put back on the arc reactor, Kirishima looking at him.

As Katsuki grabbed his bottle, he turned to see Kirishima still looking at him. "What are you looking at?" He questioned.

"I am looking at you." Kirishima answered. "You wanna do this whole lone gunslinger act and its unnecessary. You don't have to do this alone."

"You know, I wish I could believe that." Katsuki retorted. "I really do. But you've gotta trust me. Contrary to popular belief, I know exactly what I'm doing."

The students looked to Bakugou with raised eyebrows. The explosive blonde noticed and shouted "What Are You All Looking At, You Shitty Extras?!"

Kirishima continued to stare at Katsuki Stark, unconvinced and worried.

The scene switched to daytime Queens, New York, the scene showing the outside of Hammer Industries building, a black limo driving up to the side of the building.

"This is where we do it." Justin Hammer said as he led Ivan Vanko throughout a factory full of high tech machines, crates, and tools. "This is my humble abode."

Miruko faked sneezed. "Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit. Humble, my ass!"

The group snickered and chuckled, while Mineta tried to get a pervy view of said heroine's ass, only to get smacked by both a long tongue and a black whip. Izuku and Tsuyu looked at each other in surprise at the accidental unison punishment of the purple perv. The two blushed and looked away from each other, Izuku trying to shake off his blush while Asui stared back at the screen, blank faced and blushing, choosing to ignore the glares of jealousy from her fellow girls.

"You can work in absolute peace." Hammer continued. "Must be kind of fun to be dead, right? No pressure."

"Smart of this Hammer guy." Mandalay said. "With the world believing that Vanko is dead from that explosion and replacement, no one would be searching for Vanko and he can work as much as he wants without fear of capture in Hammer's building."

"Here they are." Hammer gestured in front of him. "I'm very excited. They're combat-ready. I may have done a few miscalculations and rushed the prototype into production."

In front of Ivan and Justin was a group of grey-colored, heavier looking replicas of Iron Man suits. Hammer chuckled. "Sue me. I'm enthusiastic."

The group hissed in worry and surprise at the Iron Man replicas that Hammer had already invented.

"YOU BET I WILL SUE YOUR ASS!" Bakugou roared. "YOU COPYCAT MAKING, PLAGERIZING BASTARD!"

"Makes me wonder how Monoma wasn't this guy's counterpart." Tetsutetsu joked.

The students laughed while Monoma gritted his teeth. He opened his mouth to retort, but at the sight of a raise, already enlarging hand, Monoma decided to just huff and stay quiet.

"Actually, for as angry as he is, kid's gotta point." Power Loader noted. "I would think that the Iron Man suits would be a trademarked secret of Stark Industries or Stark himself and would make these copies illegal and could get him sued."

"However, he said that he made a few modification towards them, so they could be altered enough so that they could be legally distinct." David pointed out.

"Speaking of suing, I wonder just many people he twisted in half by making all these suits?" All Might growled.

Upon closer examination, these altered replicas of Iron Man had more longer eye sockets and a more pointed build around the jaw of the helmet. The arms were more bulkier, the lower arms the bulkiest to look like gauntlets, the legs more bulkier too, and the middle part of the chest having a more rectangular center piece than Iron Man's more circular version. All of the replicas also had tubes connected to them.

Ivan walked towards a computer panel, put on a pair of glasses, and started typing away on the computer, hacking into the system.

"Oh, uh you don't wanna do that." Hammer stuttered nervously. "Y-You'll be able to access that as soon as we generate some encrypted pass codes. Can we generate some encrypted pass codes?" Hammer referred the question to his following assistant, Jack. "Get some encrypted pass codes, Jack."

A second later and the computer beeped, Ivan successfully hacking into the system. "N-Never mind." Hammer stuttered, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Wow. Okay. Good stuff."

Ivan spoke in Russian again, Hammer once again asking "Sorry?"

"Software shit." Ivan repeated in English.

"Heheh, for a psycho maniac, I like this guy." Mina said. "At least, when he's making that Hammer douche look like a idiot."

"Agreed." Torru said.

"Uh-huh?" Hammer laughed nervously. "Well...um...Y-You're good. Y-You really blasted in past the firewall there. Uh..."

Ivan looked towards one of the replicas and walked over to it, climbing up the stairs next to it. "Uh, let me show you where you're gonna be working primarily." Hammer said as Ivan ignored him and continued his objective. "G-Good ahead, take a look." Hammer relented. "Get a good look at that. That's something, isn't it?"

Ivan looked to the helmet and started tinkering with it. Hammer quickly said "You know, those are really for just for show and tell. They're worth $125.7 million a pop, so...Wait!"

Ivan removed the helmet from the machine, machine pieces escaping out. "Oh gosh." Hammer said as he rubbed his head, Jack behind him looking wide-eyed and fearful.

"Well that's just $125.7 million dollars wasted!" Uraraka yelled enraged. "That could have gone to something useful, like construction."

Izuku and Iida sweat dropped at Uraraka's outburst and specific example, especially since they are aware of her reason to being a hero is to help her parents out.

"Jesus Christ." Hammer cursed whisperdly as he turned to Jack. "Get somebody up here." Hammer turned back to Ivan and continued "Um, that's where the pilot goes. I'm uh having a tough time finding volunteers."

"After seeing a man get twisted in two last time, no sane person would want to test pilot that." Mei said. "At least my babies are far more reliable and have never done something like that."

Izuku looked at the pink haired inventor with an incredulous look. 'Didn't you almost twist my bod-Wait, didn't I already thought this before?'

"Do you have dementia or something?!" Uraraka yelled. "You nearly did the same with Deku!"

"Nope and don't have any idea what you are talking about." Mei said smiling, unfazed. Uraraka turned comically white in disbelieving shock.

"I'll take care of that." Hammer said. "Just leave it."

Ivan slapped the helmet back on. He turned to Hammer and asked "What you want them do?"

"Well, long term, I want them to put me in the Pentagon for the next 25 years." Hammer said as Ivan climbed down to face the billionaire. "I want to make Iron Man look like an antique. I wanna go to the Stark Expo. I wanna take a dump in Katsuki's front yard. You know what I'm talking about?"

Bakugou's hands crackled with mini-explosion. "Anyone tries that, and I'll explode them straight to hell."

Mineta and Kaminari looked at each other and wordlessly agree to scrap their prank of leaving fake dog poop in Bakugou's pillow.

Ivan chuckled. "I can do that." He said. "No problem."

"Yeah? Hey, fabulous!" Hammer clapped and smiled. "I love it. Hey this is our guy. Didn't I tell you?" Hammer gestured to Ivan while facing Jack. "I had a feeling."

"I have feeling too." Awase said. "A feeling that this partnership is going to go sideways eventually."

The scene changed to night, looking over the Stark Mansion as dozens of cars drove to the mansion.

"Why are there so many cars going to Bakugou's manshroom?" Kinoko asked.

"Didn't he say that his birthday was coming up?" Honenuki said. "This could be his birthday party."

"His last one at that." Kamakiri muttered. He noticed the group look at him with narrowed eyes and raised eyebrows. "What? I'm just being real here."

Katsuki, his dress shirt open, stared at the mirror at his chest, more of the same black lines and cracks spreading out from his chest piece.

"Okay, I'm going to get sick if I have to keep having to look at those every time." Mina said.

Ibarra flinched once again at the sight of her crush's counterpart's infection.

Katsuki looked at the screen as it read the infection results. 'Palladium Concentration: 89%'. Katsuki looked at the analysis that stated that he should last for 7 days left.

"7 DAYS?!" The group yelled in shock and horror.

Ibarra was now practically about to go either into a heart attack, a balling, wailing mess, or both.

Kirishima and the rest of the Bakusquad paled and gasped at the revelation. Kirishima slamming his hand repeatedly into the chair yelling "Dammit!" Sero and Kaminari shared worried glances, and Mina nearly passed out at the news in shock.

The teachers and heroes went wide eyed at the news. All Might clenched his fists and growled in anger. Aizawa looked half-ready to find whatever equivalent of God there was in this world and pulverize him. Nezu frown and rubbed his chin in thought of the ill development.

Izuku felt like his whole world was flipped upside down, almost ready to cry, but quickly snapped out of it as he went to comfort the now crying Eri.

"7 days?! What happened?!" Mount Lady questioned. "I thought he had like half a year left. Not 7 fucking days!"

"Jarvis did mention that the using the Iron Man suits was accelerating his condition." Melissa said. "His fight with Whiplash could have drained him even more."

Bakugou gritted his teeth in anger once more that it was a wonder how his teeth hadn't shattered at this point.

"Do you know which watch you'd like to wear tonight, Mr. Stark?" Olivia asked as she entered, wearing a form-fitting attractive dress.

The guy side of the group blushed, with Mineta, Kaminari, and Kosei all getting nosebleeds. Before they could make a perverted comment, they were each knocked out with a long tongue, a vibrating ear jack, and a fist-shaped vine.

The girls grumbled slightly in jealousy, Uraraka blushing in embarrassment so much that Asui had to grab and pull her down as she was floating away.

Izuku was blank faced and completely still as his mind was currently short-circuiting and the only rational thought that was processed was 'Duuuuuuuuhhhh.'

"I'll give them a look." Katsuki said as he covered up his chest and Olivia set a wooden box by the dresser and shook a bottle. "I should cancel the party, huh?"

"Probably." Olivia said, walking over to him with a drink in hand.

"Yea, 'cause its um..." Katsuki struggled to find the word.

"Ill-timed." Olivia finished his sentence.

"Right sends the wrong message." Katsuki agreed with her.

"I'll say." Snipe said. "Celebrating your birthday with a big party while the US government is hounding after your suits of mass destruction."

"Inappropriate." Olivia added in as she gave Katsuki the drink. Katsuki and Olivia stared at each other's eyes while Katsuki drank. "Is that dirty enough for you?"

"Phew. Ok, girls, I might love Midori but you got to admit that is hot." Mina whispered to the girls as she fanned herself. "I didn't know you could be quite the seductress, Uraraka. I'm so jealous."

Uraraka descended into a shuttering, blushing mess at Mina's words, while Ibarra and Izuku watch the scene unfold with smiles and menacing dark auras that made even Bakugou shiver in fear.

"Uh, gold face, brown band. The Jaeger." Katsuki said. "I'll give that a look."

Olivia smiled as she walked back to the box, opened it. As she handed the box to him, Katsuki said "I'll take that. Why don't you-" Olivia sat by the armrest of his chair, cutting Katsuki off.

"And cue Ibarra eye twitch." Setsuna said as she looked to the vine-haired girl. "There it-OOF!" Setsuna ducked from a vine fist.

Olivia dabbed makeup onto the side of Katsuki's face, covering up the wounds from Monaco. Katsuki stared at her and said "I gotta say it. Its hard to get a read on you. Where are you from?"

"Legal." Olivia answered.

"Well that's specific." Midnight said.

Nezu narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin as he stared at the new assistant of Katsuki Stark.

Katsuki frown lightly at the honest, yet unsatisfying answer. "Can I ask you a question, hypothetically?" Katsuki asked her. "A bit odd." Olivia motioned for him to proceed. "If this was your last birthday party you were ever gonna have, how would you celebrate it?"

"Not exactly being subtle are you, Bakugou?" Sero teasingly questioned the explosive teen.

Before Bakugou could retort in a fiery yell, Izuku said "Come on guys, cut him some slack. He's dying and is under a lot of stress. I'm sure anyone would save the subtlety for an honest answer for what to do in their last days."

Bakugou looked at Izuku who stared back. The former childhood friend of Deku scoffed and turned his attention to the movie, but not before giving Deku a subtle nod of thanks. Izuku smiled and followed his former friend's example.

Olivia thought for a moment before answering "I'd do whatever I wanted to do, with whoever I wanted to do it with."

"Not sure if that's helpful advice or flirting." Itsuka said.

"Although, I find that answer to be not exactly wise to say to This guy." Momo said.

"Oh!" Mina said as she realized what Momo said. "Uraraka, what have you done?"

Uraraka just chuckled nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck.

Olivia got up and left, leaving Katsuki sighing by the chair as he stared at his drink in contemplation. He shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to down the whole glass.

The scene changed to Katsuki Stark, donned in his Iron Man suit, spinning and playing a record, the crowd of invited people cheering and hollering. Ibarra walked into the room as she saw Katsuki dancing to the crowd with his face visible from the suit.

The students, and some adults, roared in laughter. Sero and Kaminari slapping and slamming their hands and fists onto their legs and seats at the hilarious scene. Mina and Torru practically fell to the ground and rolled, holding their sides as they laughed. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu were practically holding each other as they wheezed and panted in laughter. Setsuna laughed so hard actually that she literally fell to pieces. Midnight, Mount Lady, Hawks, and Miruko were among some of the adults who were howling in laughter.

Mic, also included among the laughing adults, also bobbed his head and imitated Stark's movements, yelling "Those Record Scratching Noises ARE SICK!"

"Ugh, someone just kill me now." Aizawa groaned in annoyance.

Other reactions among the group included loud face palms, mostly from Momo, Uraraka, Todoroki, Shinsou, Endeavor, Edgeshot, and Mandalay, groans of annoyance, coming from Aizawa, Tiger, Itsuka, Monoma, Jurota, Tokoyami, and Kamui, and whatever light-speed level arm chopping Iida was doing.

Bakugou was laughing like a hyena, which to many of the students sounded like a howler monkey demon from Hell. Itsuka let out a sigh that was a mixture of annoyance and fond amusement. Izuku sweatdropped and thought 'Note to self: never tell Kacchan to do whatever he wants.'

Katsuki fist-bumped the DJ, who later shook his hand from the pain of fist bumping a metal glove.

"Wait a minute." Kyouka said. "Is That Goldstein?!"

"Goldstein?" Hagakure questioned.

"Adam Michael Goldstein. He was a DJ back in the 1980's or 1990's." Kyouka explained. "He joined the band Crazy Town in 1999 and helped create and sing the song Butterfly, or as it is more popularly known as Come my Lady."

"Oh yeah, I love that song." Kaminari said. "Come my lady. Come come my lady."

"You're my butterfly. Sugar. Baby." Mic finished the verse. "Nice taste you got there kid. And seeing DJ AM there is ROCKING!"

"I swear I'm going to choke him to death with my scarf." Aizawa grumbled in annoyance.

"Wait, didn't he die in 2009?" Kyouka questioned. "F.R.I.D.A.Y., when is the events of this video?"

"Timeline date of Iron Man 2 taken place during May 2010 to June 2010." F.R.I.D.A.Y. replied.

"Huh, so Goldstein survived longer in this world." Mic said. "Nice."

Ibarra, as she watched the whole scene, looked on with a face that could be used as the definition of horrified shock.

"Wow Shio, your face looks like the very definition of horrified shock." Reiko unknowingly repeated the author's words.

Outside, Kirishima drove outside the house. "Yes sir, I understand." He talked to the man he was calling on the phone. "No. No, sir, that will not be necessary. I'll handle it. Sir, I personally guarantee that within 24 hours, Iron Man will be back on watch."

"Looks like Kirishima is being sent to keep an eye on Kacchan and reel him in." Izuku said.

"He's going to get a nasty surprise." Todoroki said.

Kirishima walked throughout the partying house. He found Pepper walking to him and rushed to her, saying "Hey Pepper."

"I'm...I'm going to go get some air." Pepper told him.

"What's wrong?" Kirishima asked.

"Hmm, where to start?" Melissa jokingly questioned.

"SHUT UP DEKU'S BLONDE GIRLFRIEND!" Bakugou retorted loudly.

Melissa and Deku suddenly gained bright red, blushing faces, trying desperately to claim that 'It isn't like that', while the girls stared at Bakugou with eyes of rage 'He said What?!'

Mineta shivered in fear. "Hey, dude, what's wrong?" Kaminari questioned Mineta's sudden shiver.

"I don't know." Mineta said. "All I know is that Bakugou has pissed a whole bunch of people of and I'm super jealous."

Pepper walked Kirishima over to where she was, saying "I don't know what to do."

"You got to be kidding me." Kirishima exclaimed.

What he saw was Iron Man stumbling and wobbling around the room, crashing into a self full of now broken glass, laughing drunkenly.

"I feel like I am watching the very definition of an drunken, crazy idiot." Kyouka said, her eye twitching. "I don't think even Dunce Head over there would be this idiotic."

"Yeah." Kaminari agreed. "Wait, I mean Hey!"

Izuku covered Eri and Kouta's eyes while sighing in disapproval.

Ibarra went down onto her hands and knees and started praying like a madwoman.

Veins throbbed and pulsated on Aizawa's head as he was mentally considering dousing his eyes with bleach.

"This is highly irresponsible and shameful." Kamui Wood said. "He is clearly walking around in an armored suit that can easily fire a number of highly dangerous and deadly weaponry in front of a group of civilians while in an intoxicated state."

"Way to point out the obvious." Mount Lady said. "But I kind of have to agree with you on this, Kamui. He could have at least removed the suit."

"That's it." Kirishima said. "I'm making-"

"No, no, no." Ibarra quickly said. "Don't call anyone."

"Ibarra. This is ridiculous." Kirishima said as he pointed to Katsuki. "I just stuck my neck out for this guy."

"I know. I know. I get it." Ibarra replied. "I'm going to handle it, okay? Just let me handle it."

"Handle it." Kirishima said. "Or I'm gonna have to."

"Good luck, Shio." Setsuna said. "You are gonna need it."

"You know, the question I get asked most often is, 'Katsuki, how do you go to the bathroom in the suit?'" Katsuki said to the crowd, his hand on a mic. He went silent for a bit, closing his eyes.

"Wait...is he really..." Kaminari said, his mouth wide.

"Just like that." Katsuki said as he devolved into drunken giggling, the crowd laughing.

"Oh. My. God." Mina said, mouth agape in shock.

"Disgusting." Momo said, her mouth covered by her hand.

Iida exploded into a series of preaching remarks and yells while his arms went so fast they were merely a blur.

Nearly all the heroes face palmed in unison. "Disgraceful." Endeavor growled.

"Gross." Pixie-Bob groaned.

"If he weren't so drunk, and from another world, I would give him the punishment of a lifetime." Aizawa said.

Bakugou was pale white, with even himself shocked and disgusted at what his other self had just done. He was almost about to agree with Eraser and try and find a way to go to this other world and explode the hell out of his drunken self.

Ibarra walked on stage and grabbed the mic from Katsuki. "Does this guy know how to throw a party or what?" Ibarra nervously chuckled.

The crowd cheered with Katsuki saluting to them before leaning onto Ibarra. "Oh, I love you."

Setsuna would have done a spit-take if she had anything to drink, but instead gaped in shock. "Oh My God. He Said It! He Said It!"

Ibarra blushed fiery red, her eyes turning into comical swirls as she started teeter tottering.

If Bakugou could pale even whiter, he would be doing so right now. 'Y-You...you fucking...idiot!' Bakugou thought. 'Did that count?! No it doesn't, he was drunk. Plus I didn't say it.'

Bakugou noticed eyes on him, a majority being teasing ones, especially Deku, Kirishima, the rest of the Bakusquad, and All Might. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?!"

Ibarra nervously laughed it off. "Unbelievable! Thank you so much." Ibarra said. "Katsuki, we all thank you so much for such a wonderful night. And we're gonna say good night now, and thank you all for coming."

The guests all groaned in disappointment. Kirishima watching from the back, nodding.

"No, no, no, we can't...wait wait wait." Katsuki quickly said. "We didn't have the cake. We didn't blow out the candles."

"You're out of control, okay?" Ibarra said. "Trust me on this one, okay?"

"You're out of control, gorgeous." Katsuki retorted drunkenly.

"Well straight from the horse's mouth people." Setsuna said. "Bakugou called Shio gorgeous."

Bakugou chased after Setsuna's flying disconnected pieces, while the group laughed and Ibarra was one compliment away from passing out in a blushing mess.

"Its time to go to bed." Ibarra insisted. "Its time."

"Give me another smooch." Katsuki drunkenly said as he leaned towards Ibarra. "Come on, you know you want to."

"Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God!" Mina, Torru, and Setsuna cheered in anticipation.

"You're not going to be happy about this." Ibarra said as she leaned backwards. "You just peed the suit."

'I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!' Shiozaki mentally raged. 'KISS HIM OTHER ME!'

"I know. It has a filtration system." Katsuki revealed. "You could drink that water."

"Oh well that sorts things out." Death Arms said. "Makes sense to have something like that for long missions."

"It still doesn't excuse blatantly soiling himself in front of a group of people just for laughs." Kamui replied.

"Its not sexy." Ibarra replied. "Just send everybody home, okay? Please?"

"If you say so." Katsuki muttered.

"Nice job, Ibarra." Itsuka. "You, or rather your other self, successfully defused a drunken, armored billionaire of an idiot."

"Okay." Ibarra said. "I'll take this," Ibarra grabbed the bottle of wine from Katsuki and gave him back the mic. "You take that."

Katsuki turned back to the crowd and said "Ibarra Shiozaki." Scattered applause sounded as Katsuki continued. "She's right. The party's over."

The group sighed in relief, Bakugou himself sighing that his drunken self got back under control.

"Then again, the party was over for me, like, an hour and a half ago." Katsuki continued.

"I have bad feeling about this." Izuku muttered.

"Same." Melissa agreed.

"Ditto." Mirio jumped in with a still smiling face.

"The After-Party starts in 15 minutes!" Katsuki announced, the guests cheering wildly. Ibarra closed her eyes and sighed, while Kirishima watched with a frown.

The sighs from the group were quickly replaced with a chorus of hands smacking onto foreheads.

"And if anybody, Ibarra," Katsuki whispered Ibarra's name not so subtly. "Doesn't like it, There's the door."

Katsuki gestured to his right, a repulsor blast accidentally firing and destroying a panel of glasses.

"What just happened?!" Mina yelled.

"He must have accidentally activated the repulsor beams on accident." Melissa said. "The Iron Man weaponry can be activated by gestures and different hand motions, so, in his drunken state, he must have activated the one to fire the repulsors."

The guests roared in cheers, Katsuki roaring back at them with "YEAH!" Ibarra looked to Kirishima in worried panic, said colonel looking at the scene with growing anger and disgust.

One of the girls from the crowd stepped up and gestured towards the bottle of wine in her hand.

"Oh please tell me he's not gonna-" Itsuka said before the movie interrupted her.

"Hit!" Katsuki yelled, the girl tossing the bottle into the air. Katsuki aimed at the airborne bottle and fired another repulsor blast, the bottle shattering into pieces. Ibarra ducked in fear of the falling shards, while the crowd continued to laugh and cheer.

"Okay, this is crazy!" Mineta yelled. "He's gone nuts!"

"This has officially gone to far." Aizawa grumbled.

"Partying in a dangerous suit of armor is bad enough, but aiming dangerous weaponry near a crowd of civilians while being mentally impaired is highly irresponsible." Endeavor said.

"Even I have to agree with you, Number 1." Hawks said, looking at the screen with distaste. "That guy is clearly off his rockers and needs putting down.

Kirishima frowned, having enough of this show, and marched away. "Pull!" Katsuki yelled, as another bottle was tossed into the air, which was immediately fired on and exploded into pieces. Kirishima quickly walked down the stairs into the workshop, typing in the code and entering, his eyes focused on the silvery Mark 2.

"Oh shit!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed. "Is is your counterpart going to..."

"I think he is." Kirishima replied. "But this is definitely not how I would have thought my other self's first time using the suit would be for."

"Ruined expectation aside, Kiri to the rescue!" Mina cheered.

"Pull!" Katsuki said, facing away from the crowd while looking at a plate. The girl tossed another bottle and, while looking through the plate's reflection, fired and destroyed the bottle.

"Okay this is getting increasingly more messed up." Kyouka said.

"Let's just hope that Kirishima can take care of it." Momo replied.

The scene changed to the pieces of the Mark 2 attaching and interlocking onto Kirishima's body.

"Suit Up Faster Shitty Hair!" Bakugou roared out.

"Wow." Kaminari said as he looked with shock at Bakugou. "Never would have thought I'd see the day Bakugou would root against himself."

"Now, I have officially seen everything." Sero replied.

Back to the cheering guests, a girl came up, carrying a watermelon over her head. "I think she wants the Gallagher!" Katsuki yelled as he stuck out his chest. The girl tossed the melon into the air, Stark firing a Unibeam and exploding the fruit into red chunky pieces. The crowd cheered while Iron Man danced drunkenly.

"I'm only gonna say this once." Kirishima's voice announced. The crowd whirled around to see Kirishima, donned in the Mark 2. "Get Out."

The guests quickly ran away, leaving only Katsuki and Kirishima facing each other, Katsuki staring at Kirishima with shock and rapidly growing rage.

"You don't deserve to wear one of these." Kirishima yelled as he marched towards Stark. "Shut it down!"

"Oof, must hurt to hear that from your 'bro', huh Bakugou?" Kaminari asked.

"Shut. The. Hell. Up." Bakugou growled, emphasizing his point with sparking, crackling mini-explosion.

Katsuki wordlessly turned around to the DJ booth and said "Goldstein."

Goldstein stood up from his hiding spot and asked "Yes, Mr. Stark?"

"Give me a phat beat to feat my buddy's ass to." Katsuki said as he devolved into giggles.

Goldstein did as asked and started playing music, the room playing with the sounds of a bass.

"Wait, I know that song." Kyouka said.

"At this point, why wouldn't you?" Mina said. "Midori, Jirou, name the song on three."

"Don't." Kyouka, blushing, pointed to Izuku.

Izuku nodded his head quickly at Kyouka's tone of voice.

"Its Another One Bites the Dust, by Queen." Kyouka revealed.

As the music played, Kirishima grabbed onto Katsuki from behind. "I told you to shut it down." Kirishima said.

Katsuki's face plate went down, and he, wordlessly, replied by activating his repulsors and flying backwards, crashing through the walls and glass of the mansion.

"Its a Bakugou vs Kirishima fight!" Mineta yelled.

"Only even more evenly matched since they are both using Iron Man suits." Kaminari said.

"But doesn't Bakugou still have like 6 months of experience over Kirishima?" Sato asked.

"Bakugou is currently drunk here which could leave him at a disadvantage." Shoji said.

"Plus, Kirishima's counterpart is in the military and was the liaison between Kacchan's company and the military." Izuku jumped in. "He must have had basic military training and most likely has a knowledge of machines and weaponry, so he could probably fight just as well too."

"Are we seriously going to watch two of our students fight each other?" All Might questioned. "This fight isn't exactly a sparring match or competition like the Sports Festival."

"It appears we are." Nezu replied. "However, this fight might be the only way necessary to reign in Stark. Additionally, we have no way as to interfere with the events of the video. All we can do is sit and watch."

As they crashed into the gym room, Kirishima tumbled while Bakugou slid to a stop by using his repulsors to slow his motion to a stop. Kirishima started to get back up as Stark started to walk away. "Now, put that thing back where you found it before someone gets hurt."

Before Katsuki can walk out the door, a metal disk hit the side of his side. Katsuki stopped as he turned back towards Kirishima. Kirishima tossed another weight towards Iron Man, Katsuki leaning backwards as the weight sailed past him and crashed into the glass door behind him.

"Really?" Katsuki asked. The billionaire drunk walked towards the bench press where he easily picked up the metal bar with two weight still on both ends. As Kirishima picked up and was about to throw another weight, Katsuki swung the bar and sent Kirishima flying past the ring and crashing into the wall, the wall cracking on impact.

"Ooooh!" Mirio hissed. "That's got to hurt."

Eri turned to Deku and asked "Papa, why is Uncle Kacchan fighting Uncle Kiri?"

Izuku stumbled on what to respond, but Melissa jumped in and said "They are fighting because they care about each other, Eri. Kacchan is being stupid and Kirishima is trying to help him."

"But aren't they friends?" Eri asked.

"Sometimes friends fight, Eri." Izuku jumped in. "That doesn't mean they don't care about each other. Its sad when friends fight, but if they are true friends, they always settle their differences in the end."

Eri nodded in understanding before turning back to the fight. The girls smiled at Izuku's fatherly words of wisdom to Eri and respected Melissa for helping out to. Though that didn't ease the jealousy of Melissa and Izuku acting like a married couple teaching their daughter. Bakugou looked at Deku, the green-haired teens words ringing in his head, wondering if he also meant that about the two of them.

Meanwhile, Kirishima has crocodile tears flowing from his eyes, a hand clenched over his heart. "I'm Uncle Kiri." He said joyfully, making the group laugh and chuckle.

"Sorry pal," Katsuki hovered and landed behind the rising colonel. "But Iron Man doesn't have a sidekick."

Kirishima grabbed a metal bar and slammed it onto Iron Man's stomach, stunning the superhero. "Sidekick This!" Kirishima said as he swung the bar onto Katsuki's helmeted head once and then a second time.

"Wooh! Kirishima is fighting back!" Uraraka said.

"Wooooh! Go Kirishima!" Mina cheered for her friend. "Knock that drunk billionaire into Night Night-Ville!"

Kirishima attempted another slam of the iron bar, Iron Man grabbing hold of it. The two wrestled for the bar till Kirishima slammed his armored foot into Katsuki's knee, slamming the knee into the ground. With Stark on his knees, Kirishima swung upwards with the bar and sent the billionaire flying through the roof and into his bedroom, crashing into the bedroom roof and down onto the floor.

"Had enough?" Kirishima questioned challengingly as he hovered, albeit shakingly, into the room.

"My guess his answer is probably 'No'." Setsuna commented.

"Olivia!" Ibarra called out as she ran towards the assistant while the people fled outside.

"Miss Shiozaki." Olivia said.

"Don't you 'Miss Shiozaki' me!" Ibarra cut Olivia off as she pointed an accusatory finger at him. "I'm on to you."

"Jeez Shio, calm down." Setsuna said. "No need to go throwing accusations while your boyfriend is fighting with his best friend. WHOO! Missed."

Setsuna detached and flew her head upward in time to escape certain pain from a vine-haired fist.

"Alright that's enough from you two." Vlad King stepped in. "Shiozaki, control your temper and stop trying to hit Tokage. Tokage enough teasing Shiozaki, or its detention for the both of you."

"Yes, Mr. Vlad King." Shiozaki and Tokage said.

"You know what?" Ibarra asked. "Ever since you came here-AAAHHH!"

Ibarra yelled as Katsuki and Kirishima fell down through the roof of the room, the two women backing up from the ensuing brawl.

"Ibarra!" Awase yelled as he ran into the room, avoiding the two armored fighters as they brawled, running towards Ibarra. "Get out of here! Get out of here!" The two ran away towards the exit.

Olivia Rushman ran out of the building, a serious look on her face. She grabbed a phone from almost out of nowhere and started calling someone.

Nezu rubbed his chin at the action of Olivia Rushman, the gears of his brilliant mind turning and turning in speculation.

The crowd of guests watched the two friends trade jabs and kicks at each other, many recording the fight with their phones.

"You want it?" Stark questioned loudly, as Kirishima had him in a headlock from behind. "Take It!" Iron Man broke free from the lock, crouched and grabbed Kirishima's leg and flipped the armored colonel into the air, Kirishima flipping in the air until he fell on his front.

Kirishima got up as Katsuki proceeded with a jab to the face. He went for right hook with Kirishima side-stepping away, Iron Man stumbling past him. Katsuki marched back to Kirishima and slammed a right hook to his face, Kirishima retaliating with a right hook of his own. The two proceeded to throw right hooks at each other's heads over and over.

"Oh My God!" Sen yelled. "Its like the Sports Festival all over again!"

The group laughed at the memory of Kirishima's and Tetsutetsu's match and the subsequent draw that happened.

"Hey But It's Not Me That's Fighting This Time!" Tetsutetsu yelled. "UGH, I WANT AN IRON MAN SUIT TOO!"

"Dude, your Quirk turns you into a literal Iron Man." Awase pointed out.

"BUT STILL!" Tetsutetsu replied.

Kirishima went in for another right hook, only for Katsuki to dodge, grab Kirishima's arm and slam him into the sink, water spraying out as the music stopped.

Stark turned around and looked at the scared faces of the crowd of guests. He roared loudly at them, causing them to scream and run away in fear.

"The look of fear on their faces." All Might said. "Instead of inspiring hope and peace, he brought onto them fear. Like a Villain."

Bakugou's eyes widened, memories once more flooding back to his past with Deku. 'If...if they found out about...our past...' Katsuki looked at the faces of his classmates, the heroes, All Might, and, most especially, Ibarra. All of their faces held either disappointment anger towards Stark and his actions, drunk be damned. 'Would they...look at me like those people looked at him? Why...why the hell do I now care...about what they think?'

Kirishima recovered as he ripped out the remainder of the sink and slam it into the distracted Stark. Katsuki crashed head first into the fireplace, the flames exploding outward and heating up the suit, causing Stark discomfort. Katsuki removed himself from the ruined fireplace, still kneeling, and turned back to Kirishima. Katsuki raised his right hand, aiming at the colonel, Kirishima responding with the same action with his left arm.

"Put your hand down." Kirishima ordered calmly.

"You think you got what it takes to wear that suit?" Katsuki angrily questioned his best friend.

"Ok, I think things are going too far." Mina said, her face filled with concern.

"I agree with your opinion, Young Ashido." All Might said. "So far, the two have fought with their fists, attacks that wouldn't harm the other badly given their armor."

"But now that they are pointing repulsors at each other, things could get potentially deadly." Endeavor finished All Might's train of thought.

"We don't have to do this, Katsuki." Kirishima said.

"You wanna be some War Machine?" Katsuki said. "Take your shot."

"Come on man." Kirishima muttered. "Just put your hand down."

"Put It Down!" Kirishima yelled.

"You Gonna Take A Shot?!" Katsuki yelled back.

Eri turned away whimpering, pressing her face onto Izuku's chest, the green bean wrapping his arms around her.

"Kacchan." Izuku muttered.

"PUT IT DOWN!"

"NO!"

"I can't watch this." Ibarra covered her tearing eyes.

"Drop It, Katsuki!"

"Just listen for once, you idiot!" Bakugou whispered, his mind thinking back to to his younger self aiming his sparking hand out towards a fearful Deku.

"Take It!"

The two fired their repulsor beams, the two beams collided, forming a bubble of expanding energy, until it exploded. The air burst, the glass shattering to pieces and covering the area in smoke and debris.

"What the hell just happened?!" Kyouka yelled.

"The combined beams must have created a bubble of built of energy that expanded like a water balloon before it burst out in an large explosive force." Melissa said.

Bakugou growled. 'Please be ok.' Bakugou thought. 'Don't make Kirishima another person I hurt without a reason.'

'Come on. Come on.' Kirishima thought. 'Don't tell me I just killed my best friend in another world.'

As the smoke cleared, Katsuki Stark laid limp by the wall, electricity crackling around him and the destroyed house. His laid motionless by the wall, the eyes of his helmet shut off. A beeping sound occurred as the eyes of the helmet turned back on, Katsuki waking up as the systems rebooted back up.

Kirishima sighed in relief that Bakugou was alright, the sentiment shared by Ibarra, Izuku, All Might, and the students and teachers.

Katsuki looked around the destroyed room till he found Kirishima outside.

Bakugou too sighed in relief at the sight of Kirishima okay, with fellows sighs of relief coming from the rest of the Bakusquad and the students and teachers.

"I'm glad that they are okay." Kaminari said. "But I feel like I just watch a best friendship, nay bromance, shatter before my eyes."

Kirishima and Bakugou both frowned at the, begrudgingly, true words of Kaminari.

Kirishima turned to look at Katsuki. The two stared at each other, their expressions hidden by their emotionless helmets. Kirishima finally turned away from Katsuki, rotated his shoulders and flew off towards the sky, Katsuki watching him go without a word.

AAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDD SCENE! Ahh, the first chapter of the New Year! Hope I didn't left you guys waiting too long. With the end of winter break, my time is now more limited than before but I will continue in my writing endeavors.

Anyways, hope you guys liked this chapter, especially the fight scenes between Stark and Vanko and Iron Man and War Machine. I also hope you guys liked the inclusion of Katsuki's blurry vision due to the palladium. I actually got this idea from a Youtube video requested by a reviewer. The video is from Nando V Movies, check his stuff out he's cool, and deals with how to make Iron Man 2 better than it turned out with some rewrites to the movie, like more Hammer and no Whiplash. While I thought it was great, I am not talented enough to do such a rewrite, so I just added the blurry vision from the palladium that he suggested in the video, which helped him not see Whiplash's attack and get into said predicament.

Also, yes, I know that what Tony did was because of drunkenness and that he was dying but to the group, especially the heroes, it was still a fellow superhero using a dangerous suit of armor and deadly weapons irresponsibly and risking harm onto a group of civilians that could have easily been hurt by accident. I also hope you guys liked F.R.I.D.A.Y. conversing with the group. I wanted this F.R.I.D.A.Y. to be like her movie equivalent and having myself built the thing, and because I am a sadistic, cruel being, I found it to be a fun opportunity.

And finally, I hope that you guys liked and understood my clarification of Vanko's plan and motive in taking down Stark's image and reputation by making this seemingly unbeatable god be shown as just another guy, a guy who can fail and be beaten, which will cause fear and uncertainty in the public. I also hope you guys like All Might's and Endeavor's reaction and thoughts over Vanko's speech, given their similar situation with AFO showing All Might's weak state to the world and Endeavor having to pick up the pieces of All Might's retirement.

With all that said, hope you guys like the chapter, thanks so much for the support and likes, comment your thoughts in the reviews, keep each other safe and healthy, especially during these trying, and rapidly worsening, times, and check out my other stories if you haven't already.

This has been Zayden StormVoid and I will see you all later as I ride my trusty steed into the sunset. HI-HO TEMPEST AWAY!
