Chapter 21

WELCOME BACK YOU SAPS-ER I MEAN LOYAL READERS AND FANS! ZAYDEN STORMVOID HAS RETURNED, WELCOMING YOU, GRACIOUSLY, TO ANOTHER CHAPTER OF WELCOME TO THE MCU!

Today we bring you Avengers Part 3 and then Part 4 next chapter and then an interlude chapter after that for both plot purposes and to transition to Phase 2 of the MCU. Speaking of Phases, I request your honest thoughts about Phase 4 so far. Are you excited for Spider-Man No way Home, because I am and it will probably be where I say goodbye to the MCU officially, unless the omens of replacing and discarding, insultingly, fan favorites for 1 note, bland personality, woke knockoffs like Iron Heart and Amadeus Cho don't come to pass. I'm okay with She-Hulk, if they do her right, Kate Bishop, only because I hear Hailee Steinfeld is enjoyable and funny, and even Khamala if they do better than the Avengers or Captain Marvel s*mp that was Khamla in the Avengers game.

Also, is the Hawkeye show good? I've been wondering whether or not to watch it and I'm getting conflicting messages on whether its good, bad, or just meh. And I heard that Eternals didn't do so good. Not to my surprise. I mean they were trying to showoff a group more obscure than the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Inhumans, they tried to push for a black gay character when their main source of income of China hates both, and alienated the rest who were uncertain whether to watch it or not, like me, when they made the tired old excuse of calling everyone bigots and racists without at themselves in the mirror.

But enough about that, back to the story. Last time, we had the group watch as Thor and Iron Man meet with each other with swings and blows, Cap stopping them like a badass, Loki effortlessly tearing them apart while sitting in a cell, finding out about Phase 2, Loki rising on everyone's shitless after Uraraka had her very graphic, and apparently well-received, nightmare about Toga, the team fighting among themselves, and Izuku and Bakugou having simultaneous panic attacks as Rogers and Stark say those damaging words at each other, with All Might there for the rescue.

Now we move onto Loki's and Hawkeye's attack on the Helicarrier. But first, review answering time:

Tatsumi Partas: Shippings include Bakugou x Ibara, Itsuka x Tetsutetsu, All Might x Inko Midoriya, Shinsou and Yui are starting to have a thing going, Shoto Todoroki I'm planning to have paired with Camie and Pony, Kinoko x Kuroiro, and Izuku, the unofficial harem/polygamy master will be paired with Setsuna Tokage, Momo Yaoyorozo, Nejire Hado, Ochaco Uraraka, Melissa Shield, Mei Hatsumei, Tsuyu Asui, Mina Ashido, Kyouka Jiro, and Toru Hagakure, with possible plans and further pondering needed to add Miruko, Mount Lady, and/or Pixie Bob, the last one the least likely.

xXKnow1NosXx: Well since this was posted November not December, I'm guessing you don't mean That traitor. Won't spoil anything too much, even though saying that the traitor was revealed recently is already a spoiler, I was shocked, dancing a jig as one of my suspicions turned out true, heartbroken and sobbing, and increasingly want to put AFO's head on pike.

DragoonKnight Agnime: Life insurance? Jurota's going to need a lifetime's worth of therapy after That happens. Is that a Komi Can't Communicate reference there? 'Cause if so, spot on. I could do that though I think this chapter will make Nezu ponder if making U.A. a floating, moving fortress is a wise move, especially if old Shiggy could find Mr. Traitor via Search. Ochaco fearing Toga makes sense being that Toga was Uraraka's first major villain she had to deal alone, with Asui, and losing Deku while being powerless to do so was something she feared and hated during the Shie Hassakai Raid Arc. As shown through their final images of themselves in the pools, they still have a ways to go to fully move on from the past and forgive, though don't expect it here since that would kind of ruin the impact of the actual begging for forgiveness in the manga. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be canon to the MCU in this story, as it is not in canon because of several inconsistencies so showing that would only serve to peak their interest in a way that I can't just sweep under the rug like Marvel does. I think you'll be torn whether to punish Monoma or Loki after this and next chapter, though I think the later punishment makes more ironic sense given his counterpart.

Angel lara451: I can understand your thoughts and feelings over my decisions and I can accept it, not everything I do will be received well or come across for others, and that is something that most people have to realize. Another thing that should be realized by fellow creators and writers out there is that criticism, even overtly harsh criticism, doesn't immediately mean hating or bashing. My reasons for the harem? I'll be blunt and honest by saying because I wanted it. I've been a fan of Izuku Midoriya for the longest time and I was inspired by many other reaction fics with similar pairings, though be glad I didn't do All the women of MHA which was my original intent, which I have dialed down to the ten or so women. I wanted to add the harem mainly to stow a bit of conflict between the girls at first and then slowly accept each other and their feelings, while also having Izuku later on deal with this eventual revelation and work out his emotional problems, like feeling undeserving of love or affection. I can understand why over time the same reactions can get annoying to frustrating as they go on, and I'm working on finding more creative and less dialed down reactions from them moving forward. Though on the talk of realism, I know not every girl, if not most girls, don't react similarly, but this is a fanfiction of an Anime, where all reactions, be it comical, romantic, or jealousy are dialed up to 11. Sometimes realism doesn't compute or should compute, I mean look at the idiots running around in the Real world, thinking the Earth is flat or that abortion, unless necessary, isn't evil, or that Biden or Trump are in anyway fit to lead. I would discuss more, primarily the Mineta part of your comment, but I will save that for another comment in the next chapter since this is too long already.

leoromerocalvo: My plan for Spider-Man Far From Home and Black Widow are to put them in a sequel story. I will do all of the MCU except Incredible Hulk, and Captain Marvel still pending, and ending on Endgame. While Black Widow takes place between Civil War and Infinity War, it leaves teases for Phase 4, primarily the post-credits, and Far From Home does the same. So if I will do them, it will be in a sequel story with the rest of the other franchises I plan for them to react to in the future.

Scoobydoo0504: I will not be skipping Iron Man 3 or Thor the Dark World, your reasons pretty much summing it up nicely. That PTSD of Stark and destroying the Iron Man suits is required for Ultron and the Iron Legion and Thor the Dark World revealing the concepts of Infinity Stones with the Reality Stone and Loki assuming Odin's identity is also required for both Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarock. As for your later comment about Black Panther, I actually have someone ready to go for the role and don't worry I won't be changing his race, it wouldn't make sense for the story of Black Panther and it would just unless a thousand racist messages.

Now, Let's start things up and remember: HOOOOLD Onto your butts!


Old-Fashioned Notion

Third POV

"All hands to stations." An agent announced over the PA as agents ran around the deck rushed in a hurry at the attack, while other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents armed themselves, awoken S.H.I.E.L.D. agents running down the red-lit dark halls.

Aizawa groggily got up from the explosion, putting his hand to his earpiece. "Kayama!" Aizawa called in.

Mic and Midnight let out a sigh of relief at their friend's safety.

"External Detonation." Hill announced the situation, as she inspected the red monitors. "Number 3 engine is down."

"Shit, that's not good." Awase hissed. "Those engines are what is keeping them in the air."

"If another one or two more go down, the whole Helicarrier might start to plummet out of the sky." Honenuki said, worried.

"Given the size and weight of the Helicarrier at a glance, I'd say just one more engine dying would make that happen." Melissa analyzed.

"We've been hit." An agent announced in the background. Another agent called in saying "We got a fire in Engine 3."

"Can I get a run in?" Kayama asked as she walked to an agent as his station. "Talk to me."

"Turbine looks mostly intact," The agent Kayama hovered over informed her. "But it's impossible to get out there to make repairs while we are in the air."

"If we lose one more engine, we won't be." Nemuri grimly stated.

"Nice analysis, Melissa." Izuku complimented the blonde.

Melissa smiled widely and blushing, pleased.

"Somebody's got to get outside and patch that engine." Kayama informed.

"Stark, you copy that?" Aizawa asked.

"I'm on it." Katsuki replied over the coms.

"Oh that makes sense." Ochaco nodded. "Bakugou and Thor are the only ones that can fly and Bakugou's the only one of those two who would understand the tech."

"Yamada, initiate defensive lockdown in the detention sector then get to the armory." Aizawa ordered Yamada as the agent ran down the stairs.

"Oooh, an armory." Mic said, smiling and rubbing his hands. "Wonder what sweet, super weapon I'm going to get?"

"If your counterpart wasn't more responsible than yourself, that would be the last thing I would do." Aizawa retorted.

"Romanoff?" Aizawa asked further.

Ochaco Romanoff, laying on the ground grunted as she tried to pull her stuck foot off of two large pipes.

"Oh, that's no good." Ojiro frowned. "But aside from that, she looks alright for someone blasted through a window."

Izuku sighed in relief.

To her side, amidst the broken glass and parts from the explosion, was Bruce Banner lying down and barely moving.

"Okay, Jurota's moving." Ibara sighed in relief too.

"We're okay." Ochaco called in.

Bruce suddenly started panting strained, his fists clenching tightly, as he huffed and spasmed angrily.

"We're okay, right?" Ochaco asked to Bruce.

Izuku's relief died as his worry risen twice as before. "He's starting to transform." Izuku revealed.

Jurota's eyes widened in horror, the same reaction following up from most of the group.

On the flight deck, a group of armed and armored men, led by a still brainwashed Hitoshi Barton, bow in hand, ran towards their objective.

Shinsou's gritted his teeth in frustration of what he had done and currently stil doing.

Barton pointed at a vent shaft opening, the armed men guarding around it as another man got up to the vent and slammed his foot on it, the vent opening up. Barton looked around as his soldiers went in one by one until he finally joined them in the dark pathway of pipes and metals.

"Keep that engine down!" Barton ordered and pointed to his left, getting a 'Yes, sir' in reply. "Detention, wait for camera to go dark." He ordered and pointed to in front of him to another soldier who complied. He turned to his right and starting walking ordering "Stay close." to two other soldiers.

"Since Barton is a fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. that has likely been on the Helicarrier before, he knows where all the important areas are." Iida frowned.

Izuku Rogers and Katsuki Stark ran down a hall of panicking agents running past them. As they reached a pathway, Katsuki stopped and looked to Izuku. "Engine three. I'll meet you there." He told Rogers, who nodded and continued running down the same hall while Katsuki went right.

Stark walked down an empty hall towards a black wall. As he approached, he pulled out his phone, pressed a button, and the wall opened up revealing the Mark 6 armor. Pressing another button the holographic phone, and the lights of the suit powered up and hummed to life.

"He can turn it on from his phone?" Kaminari asked.

"Out of all the super advanced technology, magical hammers, and flying aircraft carriers, That's what has you confused?" Kyouka questioned back.

Banner groaned loudly, his hands repeatedly stretching and clenching. "Doctor?" Ochaco asked worried, trying again to free herself. Bruce rose to his hands and knees, still panting and groaning. "Bruce? You got to fight it. This is just what Loki wants. We're going to be okay. Listen to me."

Two technicians ran towards them, stopping a few yards away. "Are you hurt?" One of them asked.

Romanoff quickly turned to them and waved them off, wordlessly telling them to run. The two got the message and quickly ran the other way.

"Smart decision." Ryukyu nodded. "If Banner does transform and lose control, the technicians would be in certain danger. It was wise of Romanoff to wave them away rather than help her."

Ochaco smiled at the praise from her mentor, even if it was director at another version of herself.

"We're going to be okay." Ochaco said again, as Bruce stretched his back, grunting and groaning more akin to an animal. "I swear on my life, I will get you out of this. You will walk away and never ever-"

"Your Life?!" Bruce roared at her, his tone monstrous and distorted, his face coated in sweat. Romanoff's eyes widened in horror, noticing the skin of his neck rapidly turning to green.

"No, no, no, no." Jurota cursed under his breath, eyes widened horrified.

"His neck." Mina pointed, worried. "Its turning green!"

"Get of there, Ochaco!" Hagakure cried out.

"Ribbit!" Tsuyu croaked worrying immensely.

Panting and groaning, Bruce rose and stood on his knees, his raised up and arms spread, his neck and torso turning green as his purple shirt started to stretch and tear.

"Shit." Shinsou cursed under his breath. 'What have I done?'

Monoma gritted his teeth hard, angry over himself and what he has done to his own classmate.

His groans became more distorted in the monstrous tone, his arms and hands turning green and larger. Ochaco continued watching as he huffed like a beast, his upper body growing rapidly, his shirt tearing to reveal more green skin.

Once again, All Might felt helpless, the heavy burden brought down onto himself at sitting in this seat, helpless to save someone, a student from another life, in grave danger. Ryukyu and Nejire shared in his helplessness, the two feeling helpless as their student and friend was trapped and unable to help.

Aizawa growled lowly, cursing himself, a Director of an intelligence organization, to have not foreseen this coming and prevented, just as much as he hated his Quirk failing to work on the transforming student.

Black Widow tried again to free her foot, while the transforming scientist fell off the platform they were on to the one below, groaning and yelling in pain and rage. He stretched his back out again, the purple shirt nearly destroyed and revealing his massive, muscular green form.

Eri whimpered and hid and hugged Izuku's chest, whimpering at the other Jurota's transformation. Izuku held her tight, beads of sweat rolling down his face and fear gripping his heart like a vice for his best friend. 'Get of there, Ochaco!' Izuku begged in his mind. 'Please!'

The transforming counterpart of Jurota whirled towards Ochaco, and the screen, his face green and transformed, but his eyes, sad and pleading, were all Bruce.

Itsuka's knuckled cracked, a hiss escaping her mouth, as she stared, helplessly as she stared at his classmate and friend's eyes, full of such pain and fear, and could do nothing. 'I'm supposed to be Class President. I'm suppose to help my class.' Itsuka thought bitterly and angrily. 'Yet I can't do anything for my friend right in front of me!'

Ochaco looked upon him in horror and dismay. "Bruce?" She called out to the man.

Ochaco held the same look, sadness and worry going out to man in pain, cursing that she and her other self can't help. 'Deku always helps others, no matter what state he is in, no matter how much it hurts him, even when faced with death, he always helps.' Ochaco thought to Deku's feats, saving Todoroki from himself, breaking his already broken fingers more and more to do it, saving Kouta and trying to save Bakugou, despite his near broken form, and saving Eri from Overhaul despite the fear of death. Ochaco whimpered and gritted her teeth, clenching her shorts tightly. 'And yet, no matter what I do, or how hard I try, I couldn't keep up, I couldn't be there to help, and stand by his side.' Her thoughts turned to her failure against Bakugou in the Sports Festival, getting stabbed by Toga and had to be saved, and falling collapsed, unable to help save and help Deku against Overhaul.

The creature whirled his head back and let an inhuman groan, stretching his rapidly growing out more till it completely the remains of his old purple shirt. Ochaco began freeing herself again.

The beast rose to his feet, stumbling onto a metal cannister, the metal denting immediately at the weight and strength behind the large green arm. "RRRRAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" The Hulk roared.

The roar sent shivers of terror down the spines of the audience, leaving student and adult shaking in their seats.

'That roar...it isn't human...' Jurota gripped his seat hard, himself trying to quell his Quirk from lashing out. 'It was...like a Beast's...'

With a final, desperate tug, Ochaco's leg was freed.

"Oh, thank God!" Momo exclaimed in relief.

"Now get the hell out of there!" Kyouka jumped in, covering her ears from the loud roar of the Hulk.

Jumping down to the level below her, she look at the green monster that was once her ally. The Hulk as she saw was easily three times as large as his Banner side and almost twice as tall, a near inhuman 8-9 feet tall. His upper body grew the most compared to his legs, which we thankfully covered still by his largely intact pants that looked like shirts to the green goliath, although his shoes were completely destroyed, revealing his bare green feet. His back was turned to her but the sight of his absurdly large, muscular arms and back were all Ochaco needed to know of the monstrous power in front of her.

The sight of the green monster's physique sent just as much shivers to the group as his roar.

"He looks even taller and stronger than All Might." Mineta whimpered in pure fear.

All Might gazed at the dented metal the Hulk leaned on. 'He crushed and dented that metal instantly, just by leaning on it.' All Might analyzed, staring at the tall monstrosity that was clearly taller than he in his buff state. 'Unfortunately, I think Mineta could be right. This creature could be as strong as me, if not Thor, if what those videos of him showed.'

Slowly, panting like an animal, the Hulk turned his body and head to face her. When his anger-fueled eyes laid upon her, he bared his teeth in a furious snarl.

Class 1-A, hearts near frozen in fright, all screamed on thing to their classmate's counterpart: "RUN!"

Ochaco immediately turn behind her and booked it towards the stairs. With an inhuman roar, Hulk leapt after her, the green goliath rushing to her with frankly, startling speed.

"Jesus, He's Fast!" Kaminari exclaimed, wide eyed.

Halfway up the stairs, Romanoff looked behind her and quickly leapt towards the railing, to the right above her. A second later, the stairs she stood on were easily torn away by the Hulk's grasp.

"Oh, that was close!" Mina yelled, legs shaking in fear.

"He tore those stairs off like he was ripping apart paper!" Sato said, quivering.

"Such speed and power." Shoji whispered out.

Black Widow maneuvered her body through the bars of the railing, looking down to see Hulk's rage-consumed eyes staring up at her. Jumping down another level of the Helicarrier's large interior, she barely managed to remove her foot from the vent opening below her before Hulk's green hands ripped it clean off.

"Christ, That was even closer!" Hagakure jumped in her seat, startled.

Ochaco quickly squirmed and vaulted out of the tunnel and onto another walkway, diving and ducking under some large pipes to run from the monstrous beast after her.

"Yes, yes, get out there, Uraraka!" Deku exclaimed. "And don't stop!"

"RRRRAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!" Hulk's roar reached to Loki's cell. The God of Mischief raised his head at the roar, forming a sick, twisted smile.

"Just as he planned." Todoroki narrowed his eyes in rage.

"Bastard." Bakugou growled.

"Bring the carrier about to a 1-8-0, heading south!" Director Aizawa yelled as he ran onto the main deck, agents running around in a hurry. "Take us to the water!"

"We're flying blind." An agent responded. "Navigation's recalibrating after the engine failure"

"Is the sun coming up?" Aizawa questioned the agent.

The agent looked to his right, out the window into the bright, cloud-filled sky. "Yes, sir." He replied.

"Then put it on the left." Aizawa ordered, pointing to his left. "Get us over water." The agent quickly turned to the panel in front of him and did as the Director told him. "One more turbine goes down, and we drop."

"Yep, the kids were right." Power Loader said. "And getting to the water is a smart move. If they end up dropping, the water will make for better a landing and survival chance than the ground."

"And less chance of it landing onto civilians or a civilian population." Thirteen added.

The scene changed to see Captain America opening a stuck door, freeing the agents on the other side, who thanked him as they carried their injured co-worker. Izuku hurried past them to the other side of the door to see the open sky. He stopped upon the edge of the opening, a ladder to his right, and destroyed catwalks and open sky around him, the wind bellowing around him. Above him, fire raged from the leftover explosion. The screen paned out to see that he was right of the offline engine.

"All that damage, from one arrow?!" Sen exclaimed, looking to Shinsou. "How much heat are you packing in those things?!"

"That destruction wasn't just caused by my arrow." Shinsou replied, wincing when he acknowledged his destruction. "The explosive arrow was precisely planted to where it would cause the most destruction to the engines and the Helicarrier as a whole, close enough to whatever fuel or electronics to fuel the explosion."

Aizawa nodded in pleased acknowledgement, glad to see that his private lessons with Shinsou about awareness and collateral damage were paying off.

"Stark!" Rogers yelled, looking around at the destruction. "Stark, I'm here!"

"Good." Iron Man said as he arrived, flying in on the Mark 6 towards the remains of the Helicarrier's side. He slowed to a halt over the wall. "Let's see what we've got."

"Good to see Midobro and Bakubro working together." Kirishima said relieved.

"Yeah, after that little fight they had and what it did, its good to see them put that aside to help." Sero added.

"Stop Bringing It Up, You Morons!" Bakugou yelled at the two, pointing a thumb over the still guilty-looking Midoriya and the sad Eri, whilst also trying to ignore Izuku's reflection on the pool below.

Stark inspected the wall, his hud showing the designs and damage to the engine. "I got to get this superconducting coolant system back online before I can access the rotors, work on dislodging the debris." Stark muttered to himself, his suit's hud scanning and zooming onto the inside of the engine and the destroyed blade of it and the resulting debris jammed in it, all of which was highlighted red.

"Ah, despite the destruction, the damage doesn't appear too severe." David said. "If Stark can cut through the destroyed blades with his laser, he could easily clear the debris off the engine."

"But that's only half the problem." Power Loader pointed out. "They still need for the system to go back online or it might not run, or worse explode."

Stark flew to a section of the wall, bending and testing it, before looking to Izuku. "I need you to get to that engine control panel and tell me which relays are in overload position." Stark pointed to said control panel. As Stark flew to another section of the walls, Izuku jumped to a destroyed beam and swung from it to another catwalk. Stark ripped out the wall and flew inside.

The girls had a mini-heart attack seeing Izuku jump out with the sky below him, though sighed in relief that he easily made it.

"Wow, nice acrobatics, Midoriya." Ojiro nodded, impressed.

"Thanks." Izuku thanked.

Izuku looked around and quickly found the control panel. He opened and slid the panel out to look at the numerous amounts of circuit boards, wires, and pieces. "What does it look like in there?" Katsuki's voice asked Rogers's through his coms.

Rogers looked over the panel with sheer confusion. "It seems to run on some form of electricity." Rogers replied honestly.

"Well, you're not wrong." Stark replied.

"Bahahahahaha, Oh I forgot!" Kamakiri laughed. "Stark gave that job to someone from the 1940's!"

The students chuckled amused while Deku blushed at his counterpart's technological ignorance. The girls found the response of Izuku's older counterpart rather adorable, especially to Mei and Melissa.

Black Widow was shown once more crouching and sneaking through halls filled with pipes and machinery everywhere, the area silent except random gusts of steam and the sound of her footsteps over creaking metal.

"It looks like we just transitioned into like a horror movie." Death Arms noted.

Midnight looked over to see Mount Lady fidgeting nervously. The teacher smiled and said "Ah, what's the matter, Yu? Not a fan of horror movies?"

"S-Shut up!" Yu Takeyama yelled at her rival with an embarrassed blush.

"Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Midnight continued, a shit-eating grin on her face. "Maybe you could have one of the guys hide you like darling princess hiding behind your knight in shining armor."

Mount Lady's blush only grew as she pictured the very same scene, particularly with a certain green-haired cinnamon roll.

She stopped and looked around quietly. She flinched as she heard the heavy thuds and roars from the Hulk somewhere close by. Ochaco went to her right, pulling out her gun from her side, slowly and quietly making her way through the inner workings of the Helicarri-

"RRRAAAAAAGGGHHHH!" The Hulk roared as he found her.

The audience jumped and exclaimed in surprise at the Hulk's sudden roar. Eri exclaimed in fear and plunged her face into Izuku's chest, Izuku hugging the clinging girl in his protective arms.

"JESUS CHIRST!" Kaminari jumped in his seat, clutching at his pounding heart. "That scared the shit out of me!"

Kyouka took the roar worst than the rest of the audience, almost going near deaf at the sudden blast of noise into her sensitive ears. Momo quickly grabbed the noise-canceling earmuff and put them over her friend's ears.

"The fuck is with the jump-scare all of a sudden?!" Kamakiri raged angrily. "What is this, a Horror movie?!"

If Midnight was not overtly worried over her student's counterpart, she would be laughing her ass off seeing Yu cower behind Tsunotori's seat, in front of her.

Ochaco fearfully shot the pipe above the Hulk, the escaping steam jetting out and covering the Hulk.

Aizawa and Ryukyu nodded at Uraraka's quick thinking in approval.

While the Hulk destroyed the pipe more, Romanoff ran away as fast as she could, running into a tight walkway, alit with white lights and covered on both sides by glass and machines. The Hulk's form was almost a blur as he ran after Ochaco, ripping and destroying through the glass and machines beside him, sparks flying and him roaring as he chased down his target.

"How is he so fast?!" Sen exclaimed, wide-eyed. "Nothing that big should be able to do that!"

Izuku wished he could agree given the amount massively large and powerful villains he faced that had starling levels of speed, like the Nomu of the USJ and Muscular. He shook his head from those thoughts and focused back on worrying for Ochaco's safety from the green goliath.

Ochaco continued trying to run as fast as humanly possible, ducking her head as sparks flew over her head as Hulk grew closer and closer. Right on top of her, Hulk backhanded Ochaco and sent her flying.

"OCHACO!/ URARAKA!" Class 1-A, Ryukyu, and Nejire screamed when they saw Ochaco's form sent flying.

Ochaco collided with a wall, grunting upon the hard impact and feel to the ground. Hulk stopped with crash to the wall in front of him, denting the wall upon impact. He quickly stared at Romanoff, panting and snarling like a beast.

Izuku was almost half-standing to jump at the screen, Full Cowling activating on instinct. Iida, Asui, and Todoroki likewise were half-standing with the same purpose in mind.

Ochaco, her body flaring in pain, groaned as she tried to rise, looking up to see the Hulk right in front of her, his arm reeled back ready to backhand her to paste.

"NO!" Izuku roared, just about ready to stand, his green bio-electricity running wild.

Ochaco covered her eyes in fear of what was to happen.

Suddenly, a blur slammed into the Hulk, the two flying through the dented wall and tumbling into a hanger, the agents inside backing up slowly in fear. The blur looked up and was shown to none other than Thor.

"YES!" Class 1-A screamed in elation.

Izuku, Iida, Todoroki, and Asui sighed in sheer relief, sitting back down fully.

All Might grinned in relief, satisfied that his counterpart came to rescue his student in the end.

The agents quickly began to run to safety, while Ochaco panted heavily, her body caked in sweat.

Ochaco peeked through her fingers to see All Might's counterpart save her. She looked up to the former Symbol of Peace and said "Thank you for the save, All Might!"

"HAHAHA! No need to thank me, Young Uraraka! The thanks go to my counterpart!" All Might buffed up and laughed. "Though I appreciate the thanks, yet not as much as knowing you, my student, are safe."

Uraraka smiled and blushed brightly at All Might's words, and sweatdropped when he debuffed, coughed up blood, and was getting scolded again by Recovery Girl.

Hulk stalked and circled his new opponent slowly, huffing and roaring. Thor, now arisen and noticeably cape-less, readied himself, quickly backing up from a powerful right hook from the Hulk. He ducked under a backhand of Hulk's, countering with a swift right hook to Hulk's large face. The Green Goliath reeled back from the attack, before swiftly recovering and attempting another back hand, which Thor ducked again.

Hulk roared as he stalked towards Thor and slammed his right arm down at Thor, Thor blocking the large arm with both his arms. The two evenly struggled against the other's strength, Thor removing one arm and grabbing Hulk's arm to lift off of him.

"Thor clearly is the better strategic fighter and seems to be strong enough to push and hold back the Hulk." Vlad King pointed out.

"Yeah, they look evenly as strong." Thirteen nodded. "Although, Thor doesn't have his hammer and he could be clearly holding back and playing it safe to not harm Banner."

"We are not your enemies, Banner." Thor tried to reason with the man inside the out-of-control monster. "Try to think!"

Hulk responded by lifting his arm, lifting Thor up with it, and swiftly launching a powerful left hook onto Thor, sending the Asgardian flying and crashing through metal and plastic boxes.

"I don't think appealing to Banner is an option anymore." Honenuki said.

The scene shifted to more destroyed remains of the engine, the sound of repulsor blasts sounding. A final blast of two repulsor beams fired off the wall, revealing Iron Man walking out and looking onto the offline engine, inspecting the destroyed blades and debris.

"Okay, the relays are intact." Izuku called in, before switching back to him pushing the control panel back in.

"How did he even know?" Kaminari questioned. "I thought he was bad at technology and couldn't tell what was all that techno-mumble jumbo."

"Stark most likely walked him through and told him what to look for." Mineta replied.

"Even if I clear the rotors, this thing won't re-engage without a jump." Katsuki replied, looking over the still rotors. "I'm going to have to get in there and push."

"I'm sorry, come again?" Itsuka blinked.

"That's beyond reckless!" Present Mic exclaimed. "He'll get ripped to pieces!"

"Well, if that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded." Rogers warned.

"See?" Mic gestured.

Ibara went pale at the very thought and immediately clasped her hands together in pray.

"That stator control unit can reverse the polarity long enough to disengage maglev and that could-"

"Speak English!" Rogers interrupted Stark's techno-babble.

"Thank you, Midoriya!" Kaminari exclaimed, happy that Izuku said what he would have said and won't get punished or mocked for it.

Katsuki sighed annoyed. "You see that red lever?" Katsuki spoke, Izuku whirling to find a red lever on the other side of the destroyed room. "It will slow the rotors down long enough for me to get out. Stand by it. Wait for my word."

Cap readied and jumped over the wide gap between him and the rotor, landing on the catwalk by it easily.

"Don't fail and get me shredded, Deku!" Bakugou warned. "Or I'll blast you to pieces, too!"

Izuku smiled, happy and relieved to see the explosive teen's fire reignited after their counterpart's fight. He was also more pleased when he detected a measure of trust in the teen's warning, trusting him, well more accurately his counterpart, to get the job done.

"Sure thing, Kacchan!" Izuku replied.

Thor was back, shown crashing through a few more crates, tumbling to a stop on his hands and knees. He looked up at the distant roars of the Hulk, reaching up and wiping his nose, bringing the hand down to see blood from his nose. The Hulk roared again as Thor smiled, excited.

"And there's that damn, challenging smile of yours." Gran Torino shook his head fondly. "It means you're going to do something brave or stupid."

Toshinori let out a small chuckle, remembering Nighteye say the same thing when they were still partners. "Or both." All Might finished Nighteye's words fondly.

Mirio heard the words too and smiled, knowing All Might referring to Togata's mentor, hearing the words the first time Nighteye took him in as an intern and work study. The member of the Big 3 shed a tear for the man that was his second father.

Thor stuck his right arm out, hand outstretched.

"Ooh, he's summoning Mjolnir!" Kaminari rubbed his hands excited.

Thor kneeled there waiting, listening to the sounds of thuds and cracks from both Hulk and to what he was calling. Mjolnir flew through the walls and crates and onto Thor's grasp. As Hulk appeared and reached over Thor, the God of Thunder swung the mighty hammer and struck Hulk across the face, the beast's head snapping back.

"OOOOHHH!" The group winced in unison at the blow but couldn't help but smile at how epic and cool it was.

"Impressive reaction speed and timing." Snipe praised. "Shouldn't have expected less from you, Toshinori."

All Might nodded, now more focused, and hoping, his counterpart puts his magical hammer to good use in subduing the rampage Banner.

The green giant of a man flew back and crashed into a jet, destroying said jet to pieces upon impact. Hulk shook off the hit and literally shook with rage.

"Woah, he shook that off pretty quickly." Setsuna pointed out. "And that thing can destroy indestructible robots and a whole army of giants blue aliens."

Instantly, Hulk reached out to the wing of the destroyed jet as Thor ran towards him. Hulk flung it at Thor. The Asgardian went on his knees mid-run into a slide, arching his head back, the wing sailing right over Thor's face, ending its flight by slicing the roof clean off a jeep.

"That was awesome!" Kouta jumped in his mini-seat, fists pumping into the air.

Thor got back onto his feet and toss the magic hammer towards Hulk, the green monster grabbing it with his right hand but ended up sailing with the hammer in his grasp. Hulk landed on his back, the hammer and his hand to his side. Hulk tried lifting his hand and the hammer, only for the hammer to not budge, trapping his hand to the ground. Hulk got up and tried lifting again, straining so hard his feet cracked and dented the floor.

"Is the hammer really that heavy?" Kosei asked.

"Were you not paying attention to anything about Thor?" Kamakiri questioned. "The hammer can only be lifted by someone it deems worthy."

"And so, since Hulk isn't considered worthy, his hand is stuck under Mjolnir and trapped." Izuku finished.

Hulk whirled to see Thor rush at him, jumping and kneeing his face, causing the the transformed scientist to stumble back, flinched. Thor quickly picked up his hammer and jumped onto Hulk's back, wrapping his hammer and arms around Hulk's neck.

"Appears that Thor is trying to chokehold Hulk into unconsciousness." Itsuka said. "Would be an easy and safe way to stop him without hurting Banner."

Hulk roared and flailed around, trying to shake the Asgardian off of him. The Hulk jumped off-screen with Thor.

"But unfortunately, getting onto the back of a larger, likely stronger enemy is risky." Yui replied. ""Because they could do that."

"Or jump onto the ground or into a wall and smash you in between." Setsuna nodded.

Aizawa was seen back on the bridge with Kayama. "We need a full evac on the lower hanger deck." Aizawa ordered as Kayama walked past him. As Kayama was leaving, gesturing for another agent to follow her, she looked down to see a round object roll towards her. Her eyes widened and yelled "Grenade!"

"Miss Midnight!" Momo exclaimed.

Midnight widened her eyes, hitching her breath and frozen.

Kayama jumped to her right, attempting to jump from the explosion. The force of it, unfortunately, still had her blasted back, knocking a fellow agent with her, tumbling to the ground below.

"Is she okay?" Mina asked, worried for her teacher.

"Y-Yeah, I think so." Kirishima said, himself unsure.

Mic and Aizawa sweated, worried about the fate of their long-time friend and senior.

Aizawa quickly grabbed his sidearm and rushed to the right. Two armed men rushed in under the cover of smoke, aiming their weapons on the room as they entered. Aizawa hid behind the corner as the first man entered. Right as the second one came in, Aizawa sprang into action, grabbing the man's rifle, then elbowing the man in his esophagus. Turning and spinning the man sideways, Aizawa show the first man who looked back at the commotion, knocking him to the floor before flipping the second to the floor as well. As the first man got up, Aizawa slammed his gun across his helmeted face, bringing up the second up a bit before kicking him down by his chest.

"Woah, way to go Mr. Aizawa!" Mirio cheered.

"Go, Grunkle Shouta!" Eri joined cheering for surrogate great uncle.

The students and teachers immediately starting guffawing and sputtering, taken aback by the hilarious and adorable title. Mic and Midnight practically were rolling in their seats, laughing their souls out. Vlad, Ectoplasm, and Snipe snickered, while Power Loader, Cementoss, Recovery Girl, and Thirteen chuckled. Nezu chuckled too, highly amused, and it took everything All Might had not to start laughing.

Aizawa took it all in frozen silence, conveniently choosing to omit the laugher from his colleagues and students at his expense to process what to make of being called someone's grunkle.

A third man appeared and aimed his gun at Aizawa.

"Mr. Aizawa! Look Out!" Izuku yelled.

Midnight's and Mic's laughter died right there as they froze in horror.

Just as Aizawa ducked, the third man was shot and fell to the ground. Aizawa's savior was shown to be a, slightly scratched up, Nemuri Kayama.

The students and teachers let out a breathe of relief, most especially Midnight and Mic, both for Aizawa's safety as well as Kayama's. Aizawa looked to Kayama and nodded, silently thanking her. Midnight smiled and nodded back.

"We've got perimeter breach! Hostiles are in S.H.I.E.L.D. gear. Call-outs at every junction." An agent on the PA announced as Yamada was shown walking into an armory. He placed his thumb on a scanner before his eyes were scanned, the locker opening in a green light.

"So they are wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. gear to pose as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents." Kamui Woods noted. "It would make other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lower their guards for easy ambush and kills."

"Wouldn't surprise me if they actually are brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents forced to do Loki's bidding against their comrades." Edgeshot replied, eyes narrowed.

Back at Hulk's fight with Thor, Hulk crashed through the destroyed lab, smashing Thor's back onto the ceiling of the lab, denting the pipe and knocking Thor off of him.

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt." Pixie Bob winced.

"He is getting slammed onto a ceiling by a 8-9 foot tall green giant." Mandalay replied. "And who knows if that lab was right above them or, if not, how many floors Hulk jumped through."

Thor fell to the ground, wincing at the impact. He barely recovered and widen his eyes in time for a snarling Hulk to grab him and comically bring him up out of the screen again.

Miruko couldn't hold back the snicker coming out of her mouth. "Sorry All Might, but way you were picked up was just too funny." Miruko continued snickering, the rest of the group joining suit from the contagious humor.

"No apology needed." All Might replied. "I will admit, that was a bit humorous."

"We have the Hulk and Thor on Research Level 4." The agent warned via the PA as Aizawa and Kayama fired on unseen enemies, the two ducking, aiming, and firing. "Levels 2 and 3 are dark."

"Sir, the Hulk will tear this place apart!" Nemuri shouted.

Aizawa shot another intruder who fell, likely dead. "Get his attention." Aizawa simply ordered.

"Escort 6-0, proceed to Wishbone and engage hostile." Kayama ordered through her coms. "Don't get too close."

The scene shifted to a jet flying by the Helicarrier. "Copy." The pilot replied to the order. Steering slowly, the jet veered and flew slowly towards the back end of the Helicarrier, the jet's main exhaust turning and rotating downwards, the jet hovering and ascending slowly.

"Ooh, its a VTOL!" Mei exclaimed, eyes shining at the jet.

"VTOL?" Uraraka questioned.

"The name stands for Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft." Iida replied. "Its a type of aircraft that can hover, take-off, and land all the while vertically instead of landing and slowing down on a run-way. It makes for more precise and easier landings and aiming towards foes at close-proximity."

The pilot, flipped the visor of his helmet opening, revealing his eyes, as she neared and slowly hovered towards the Hulk as he flung and fought with Thor. "Target acquired." The pilot called in.

"Why is he flipping the visor up?" Sen questioned.

"Maybe he just wants to see move more clearly?" Honenuki questioned back.

As Hulk tossed Thor behind him, the pilot said "Target engaged." A second later, bullets rained down onto the Hulk's back, the bullets merely hitting and bouncing off his green skin. The Hulk alerted turned his attention towards the aircraft and pilot while Thor quickly slid his way to safety from the hail of bullets. Hulk roared in discomfort and then pure rage towards the jet, the bullets showing no visible damage onto him.

"The bullets are just bouncing off of him!" Mineta shrieked in fear.

"Is there anything that can truly harm him?" Tokoyami wondered aloud.

"Thor could keep up with him, and if he didn't pull his punches, with Mjolnir, he could probably kill him." Shoji replied. "And then there's that Abomination creature they mentioned before who looked to be as strong as, if not stronger than, Hulk."

The pilot's eyes widen in fear as the Hulk started advancing towards him. "Target angry, Target angry!" The pilot exclaimed, the Hulk leaping off the lab and landing onto the jet.

Jurota's eyes widened. "No!" He yelled for his alternate self to stop.

The VTOL began to veer and spin around in the air below upon Hulk's landing. Hulk tried to grab the pilot through the glass, but slipped, his fingers rubbing onto the glass before he stopped behind the pilot's cockpit, where the Green Goliath began tearing the aircraft apart.

"Oh my god, that's actually really terrifying!" Hagakure shivered fearfully.

Smoke and fire came off the rapidly destroying jet while the pilot looked behind him. Just as the wing of the jet was ripped out, the pilot decided on and ejected from the jet, the cockpit opening and the pilot shot out...for the seat to be grabbed by Hulk.

"No no no no no no!" Nejire protested. "Let him go!"

The Hulk roared and tossed the pilot far way, the seat and its occupant spinning through, until, fortunately, the parachute came out and stopped the pilot's spinning.

"Phew, he's alright." Pony sighed, relieved that man was saved.

"Don't get your hopes too high." Kosei replied. "I mean he could have gotten severe whiplash and-Ow!"

Kosei was cut off by a smack to the head by Rin, chopping his other hand over his neck, silently telling him to shut up before he upsets her.

The jet, meanwhile, exploded in fire, Hulk roaring out loudly as he was flung back and sailed through the sky to the ground below.

"Well at least, the Hulk is no longer on the Helicarrier." Shihai pointed out.

Jurota sighed, relieved that his counterpart couldn't harm anyone unintentionally, for now.

Iron Man was shown again, using his red laser to slowly cut the destroyed remains of the propeller blades. After finally finishing, Katsuki jumped onto and slammed his feet into the blades, which came clean off and flew down below.

"Perfect." David nodded. "The laser made a more efficient and precise cut to clear the debris and broken blades."

Meanwhile Izuku saw as two men in S.H.I.E.L.D. gear came into the destroyed room.

"Oh good, they have back up." Sato smiled.

Izuku and Bakugou narrowed their eyes in suspicion, something feeling off to them.

Izuku frowned confused as he saw the lead man pull the pin on a grenade, looking towards the engine.

Tetsutetsu's eyes widened. "Not Back Up! Not Back Up!" He yelled.

Ibara's breath hitched, freezing up. She opened her mouth to scream.

Izuku leapt forwards and batted the grenade away with his bare hands as it was tossed, the grenade flying down and exploding below them harmlessly.

"Oh my god!" Kirishima gasped in relief. "Midobro! You the Man!"

Ibara sighed. She looked towards the likewise relieved cinnamon roll and smiled, sending a prayer of thanks to the fellow green-hair teen for saving Bakugou, as well as a prayer of repentance for her earlier anger and means of violence towards him during his and Bakugou's fight.

Izuku landed on the platform with the console, then hopping on to another beam before jumping towards the enemy, bringing a downward right hook onto the grenade thrower. Izuku kicked the rifle out of the second man's hands, following it up with another kick that sent the second man to the ground, unconscious. The first went to attack Rogers, the super-soldier ducking the attack, grabbing his attacker and tossing him out, the man screaming as he fell to his doom.

Izuku flinched, still conflicted about seeing himself kill villains and enemies, especially men who he was sure were brainwashed by Loki.

A third enemy peeked in through the corridor and began firing on Izuku. The 70-year old soldier ducked, grabbed one of the two soldier's equipment and flung it at the shooter. The man jumped back before it could hit him, it striking a console behind him. Izuku quickly jumped to the second level catwalk, ducking under the third enemy's bullets. He grabbed the gun next to him and began firing in turn at the man. The two began a back-and-forth of firing on one another, both ducking from the other's bullets, Izuku slowly backing up to red lever and began firing again.

"Good." Hawks nodded. "Rogers is keeping the guy away to defend the lever and Stark."

"While it may be more efficient to simply eliminate the gunman, there is no telling if others will arrive and if he would get shot in the process." Endeavor analyzed.

"And it is better to wait by the lever in case Bakugou is need of a quick escape at any moment." Ryukyu added.

Back with Aizawa, he ducked from another enemy fire before swiftly gunning the man down. "They're not getting through here, so what the hell-"

His musings were cut short thanks to Hawkeye firing an arrow. The arrow exploded on the wall far behind them, a few S.H.I.E.L.D. screaming as they were flung from the explosion, with a second occurring that sent more flying back.

"Its Shinsou!" Ojiro pointed.

Shinsou gritted his teeth again, more people and bodies adding to his regret and shame.

Aizawa looked to where Barton would be, seeing him draw and fire another arrow, this one landing on a computer server. Aizawa fired on him, Hitoshi backing away and disappearing. The last arrow he shot, showing that it landed perfectly into the middle of three outlets, split open, revealing two 6-pointed stingers perfectly fitting into the other two outlets.

"H-How did...that aim..." Momo gaped in awe at the masterful aim of the brainwashed archer.

"But what was that even suppose to do?" Kyouka asked.

Suddenly, the computers next to the arrow sputtered and blacked out. One of the other screens quickly showed the result: a malfunction and power loss of Engine 1. Outside, said engine slowed and stopped. "Engine 1 is now in shutdown." The PA agent announced.

"He shut the engine down!" Iida yelled.

"D-Didn't they say that if the lose another engine that-" Uraraka began to say.

Aizawa looked in surprise as the Helicarrier began to tilt and slowly began falling from the sky.

"The Helicarrier's falling!" Izuku said, wide-eyed.

"We are in uncontrolled descent." An agent yelled out as agents went to the shutdown computers and tried to reboot them back on.

"Sire, we've lost all power in Engine 1." A second agent announced, the scene shifting to Ochaco, still sitting where she was prior, frozen and hugging her leg as she shivered.

"Its Barton. He took out our systems." Aizawa's voice responded. "He's headed for the detention level. Does anybody copy?"

Ochaco put her finger, shaking, to her earpiece. "This is Agent Romanoff." She answered with a shaky voice. "I copy." With that, she got up and went after her brainwashed friend.

"Go get him, 'Chaco!" Mina cheered for her friend.

Uraraka nodded in thanks, a determined glare on the pink-cheeked teen to help take down and save her friend.

With Stark, he flew up to and pressed his hands against one of the still propeller blades of Engine 3.

"Stark, we're losing altitude." Aizawa voiced to Stark.

"Yeah, I noticed." Katsuki replied.

"If Kacchan can restart Engine 3, they could stop the Helicarrier's fall." Izuku said.

With his boots and back of his legs firing off, Katsuki began to push the blades forward, the blades slowly picking up speed as he continued.

"Come on, Bakubro!" Kirishima cheered.

"What do you think I'm doing, Shitty Hair!" Bakugou roared in question. "Shut up and let other me do his thing!"

Back with Izuku, he continued firing on the enemy who kept taking cover. Finally, his foe peeked out and fired on Izuku again, the bullets landing to the wall close to Rogers, back the super-soldier until he slipped at the end of the destroyed catwalk. Izuku slipped out, quickly grabbing a wire to his side, whirling and hanging on to the wire in mid-air.

"NO!/IZUKU!/DEKU!" The group yelled in unison, the girls gripping their seats in sheer terror while All Might gripped what was left of his own armrests.

"PAPA!/DAD!" Eri and Kouta yelled, scared and worried beyond belief.

Izuku's teeth gritted in frustration.

Thor ran and stopped before an open door. He looked inside to see Loki's cell opening up with Loki before the opening door.

"He's Loose!" Kaminari yelled dramatically.

"No!" Thor yelled, rushing towards Loki.

Loki stopped and crouched to intercept Thor. The God of Thunder jumped towards Loki...only to phase right through what was an illusion and into the cell.

"Shit!" All Might cursed. "An illusion!"

Thor got up and looked back to see the cell door closing, Loki, and a soldier of his, on the other side, freed. "Are you ever not going to fall for that?" Loki asked, hands behind his back.

"He used an illusion to trick Thor into jumping into the cell." Todoroki noted, eyes narrowed.

"Now he's trapped in the very cell his brother was in." Kyouka said.

Hitoshi Barton ducked and made his way through the insides of the Helicarrier, agents clamoring in the distance. Suddenly, he stopped and fired an arrow behind him, Black Widow side-stepping and dodging the point-blank arrow.

"Whoo! Let's Go! Ochaco vs Shinsou!" Mina cheered.

"Good luck, Uraraka." Ochaco heard and looked to her left. She saw Deku looking at the screen, mouth in a smirk and eyes radiating confidence and trust, trust her. It left pink cheeks bright red with blush.

Black Widow twisted the brainwashed Hawkeye's right arm down, bringing his bow down, too. Barton countered with an elbow strike from his left that knocked Romanoff off of him. Hitoshi followed up with a downward swing from his bow, Ochaco backing up, countering with a roundhouse kick, sending him backwards. Romanoff quickly slipped through a tight opening between a large pipe and the railing seamlessly. Barton crouched to see her, only for Romanoff to come out, twirling on a beam, and kick him back again. Hawkeye replied by firing an arrow at her feet, Black Widow swing from a beam and dodging the arrow, landing on the catwalk parallel to his.

The group was cheering for Uraraka and the amazing fight that they were witnessing. Ochaco blushed at the praise but kept smiling, confident, nonetheless. What nearly broke her into embarrassment was the effect that the fight was doing to Deku, what with his eyes dazzling like a fanboy, cheeks bright red, and smiling in a wide grin.

Barton swung his bow twice at Romanoff, the master assassin dodging the strikes. The master archer's bow struck Ochaco's blocked arms, Hitoshi bringing the bow's around Ochaco's body, the bowstring insider her guard. Hawkeye tugged, backing up, the bowstring held back by Ochaco's arms. Hitoshi pulled forward, the bowstring dragging Ochaco's head smacking into the bow, before slamming and pining her into the railing.

"Interesting." Nezu hummed. "While Uraraka is clearly the more agile, flexible, and evasive of the two, Shinsou's counterpart is the most resourceful and inventive fighter."

"Agreed." All Might nodded. "Uraraka's counterpart is using the beams and environment to evade Shinsou's attacks and to surprise attack him, but Shinsou's keeping up with her via his resourcefulness, like that impressive bow move. He used the bowstring to drag and slam her into the bow."

Barton attempted a knee strike to her side before Romanoff elbowed him off of her. Black Widow and Hawkeye crouched in a stance, Ochaco holding Barton's bow around her while he pulled a knife from his side.

"The girl's also quite determined and resourceful herself." Gran Torino jumped in. "To underestimate either of them would be a fatal mistake."

Monoma couldn't help but feel called out, but said nothing.

Thor smashed his hammer into the glass, a large crack appearing but the mechanisms holding the glass cell shifting slightly in warning. Thor and Loki looked at the cell, waiting to see if it would drop Thor. After a few seconds, Loki chuckled in delight.

"The humans think us immortal." Loki said, walking over to the console of the cell. "Should we test that?"

"Is...Is he really going to let Thor fall?" Kinoko asked worried.

"Brother of the year." Setsuna said with dry sarcasm.

'Brother, I know this isn't you. This is whoever is giving you orders. Please come to your senses!' All Might pleaded internally, wishing for his likewise brainwashed brother to fight back from his brainwashing.

'Stop Stop Stop, you idiot!' Monoma likewise pleaded with his counterpart, desperation in his eyes for himself to stop this madness.

Before Loki could press a button, a loud thud drew both of their attention. The brainwashed soldier standing to side was knocked to the ground, unconscious, Yamada standing over him, holding a large unique-looking weapon. "Move away, please." Yamada commanded.

"Got ya, punk!" Mic grinned, making fingerguns and pointing them to the screen. "Agent Yamada here to put you back on the shelf!"

While smirking at their friend's enthusiasm, Aizawa and Kayama couldn't help but feel worried about Yamada being even in the same room as Loki.

Mei's and Melissa's eyes perked up at the large weapon, fully interested in what it was.

Loki backed up from the console slowly while Thor watched from his new prison. "You like this?" Yamada asked, inching closer and gesturing to large weapon. "We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does." Yamada powered up the weapon, the firing end of the weapon lightning up. "Want to find out?"

Suddenly, Yamada groaned, the real Loki behind him and stabbing the Scepter through Yamada's chest.

"NO!" Everyone roared out.

All Might paled horribly, mouth agape like a fish's, eyes full of sheer horror and disbelief in them at what atrocity his brother from another world had just done.

Monoma was absolutely mortified, whimpering and shaking in pure shame and disbelief.

Midnight roared, tears welling up in her wide, horrified eyes. She had to be restrained into her seat by Tiger's Pilabody arms. Mic's grin fell completely, slumping in his seat in sheer shock, his hands dropping down to his lap instantly. His glasses fell crooked, showing his simply shocked eyes, his mouth agape, unable to say anything.

"NO!" Thor roared, slamming his fist onto the glass.

The clone of Loki faded as real Loki withdrew the blade from Yamada's groaning chest, the agent slumping against the wall, panting raggedly as Loki walked past him.

Eri started to cry causing Deku to immediately wrap her up in a tight, soothing hug, unable to hold his own tears of anger and frustration.

Aizawa was silent, everything for him was silent. The exclaims of shock and rage, the choked up sobs and cries, it felt like the world lost sound and voice as the U.A. teacher stared. The scene before him repeated and repeated like a broken, cursed record. With every impalement, his mouth turned from agape mouth to snarling growl. Yamada's groans and chokes filled his ears, his fists tightening to the point that blood spilled. Loki's smug, unremorseful smile had his scarf start to float.

He heard Eri's cries as Yamada slumped to the wall, gasping for breath and Shirakumo's own demise played in his head over and over. Aizawa stared at the screen with red glowing eyes full of unparalleled rage.

Thor's breathing became sharp and ragged in his rage. Loki looked to his brother, gesturing to the blood-stained Scepter with a wordless chuckle.

That chuckle sent the whole group into a rage-filled frenzy. All the students held enraged glares, from fuming Bakugou to even gentle, now angry Koda. Izuku, still comforting and now Kouta too, stared at the screen with glowing green eyes, bio-electricity sparking in them. Even All Might glared fumingly at his brother from another world, Thor's rage contagious and fueling his own. The only exception was Monoma who slumped his face into his hands, perched up on his elbows on his knees.

Loki flipped open the panel on the console and hit a switch, the floor below opening and revealing the ground miles below. With the wind breezing inwards and not more than an outraged look from Thor and an amused one from Loki, the God of Mischief pressed the button and watched as the trap descended out into the open sky, the cell swerving and spinning through the air as it fell.

"Some brother." Setsuna hissed, hatefully.

The scene went back to Black Widow and Hawkeye the two grunting as they traded and countered the other blow for blow. Barton attempted to bring his knife down on Romanoff, the Russian spy striking and blocking his arm, then stunning the archer with a jab to the face. Ochaco grabbed and began twisting Hitoshi's arm, the brainwashed archer groaning in pain. Shinsou's counterpart tossed the knife from his restrained hand to his other and attempted another swipe at her, Ochaco ducking in response.

The group shook of their anger, and desperation to see what happened with Loki and Yamada, to focus on the fight, though Tiger still restrained Midnight in her seat.

Ochaco tried grabbing the knife and Barton, the master archer responding by pinning her to the beam and railing, the knife in his hands inches from her throat. The two strained against the other, Barton slowly pushing and inching the blade closer and closer.

"Uraraka." Deku whispered, worried. "Come on. Beat him. Win!"

Improvising, Uraraka's counterpart chomped her teeth and bit hard on Hitoshi's arm, the man yelling in pain. With the pain slipping his focus and strength, Ochaco quickly grabbed his arm, spun herself on the arm till she was behind Barton and slammed him into the railing, hard.

The group hissed and groaned in pain at the impact, some even rubbing their forehead as if they could feel it too. Shinsou was among them, reminding himself never to piss of Uraraka.

With a loud clang from the impact, Hitoshi groaned in pain and discomfort, falling to the ground on his hands and knees. Ochaco saw as Hitoshi groggily looked up at her, the blue hue in his confused eyes slowly fading away. "Ochaco?" Hitoshi asked, confused.

"H-His brainwashing...its lifting!" Mina pointed out. "The blue in his eyes!"

"Its fading." Momo gasped out, hand to chin now. "So the way to break free from the spell is simply a large blunt-forced trauma to the head."

"In other words, punch them in face really, really hard." Kyouka simplified.

Shinsou's eyes widened, a smile threating to break free from his wide mouth, pondering if he is really free from Loki's control. Ochaco was the same, eyes and widening smile hopeful.

Ochaco's response was a swift left hook to his face, knocking the archer to the ground, out cold.

"W-What was that about?!" Kaminari asked, surprised at the action. "Wasn't he breaking free from the spell?!"

"They can't be too careful." Shoji replied. "Even if the spell is waning or dissipating completely, there's still a chance that he might attack or that the spell might can back fully."

"S-Sorry, Shinsou." Uraraka apologized, rubbing her neck.

"No problem." Hitoshi replied, rubbing his face, almost feeling phantom pains from Romanoff's punch.

As the cell hurled and spun in the air, the god inside groaned as he spun around in the glass cage, unable to find his bearings and stumbling and hitting the floor, ceiling, and glass walls of the tumbling cell. The cell was seen growing closer to the land below, Thor smacked into the glass wall he cracked. All Might's counterpart attempted to swing at it again only to fly backwards.

"All Might." Izuku whispered out, his foot tapping impatiently as his idol's counterpart hurtled through the air.

"This is bad." Todoroki said. "With the cage spinning around and with no solid footing, Thor is spinning around inside, bouncing around the cell."

"Its a smart trap." David said, reluctantly. "It was made to cage the Hulk and if he was in it, he wouldn't be able to crack through the glass and escape till he crashed into the ground."

"Somehow, I doubt that would even kill him." Ryukyu said. "But I'm sure none of us want to test out this theory on Thor."

"Come on, you idiot." Gran Torino said, his hands and legs moving impatiently with worry. "Focus, find your equilibrium, and adapt."

As the ground became larger and closer, Thor finally managed to plant his feet on the glass wall opposite to the cracked wall. Quickly and decisively, Thor sprang forth, hammer first, crashing and flying out of the cell as it collided to the ground in an explosion of dirt and glass. Thor landed on the the ground, kicking up large amounts of dirt and land as he tumbled to a stop while Mjolnir flew off.

"Yes!" Izuku cheered, Eri and Kouta joining him.

All Might let out his hitched breath and relaxed his tense shoulders.

"That was smart." Hawks nodded. "He steadied his footing on the opposite end of the cell, waited until the cracked glass faced away from the ground, and smashed through it. Wouldn't want to fly out and plant yourself into the ground where you would get squashed by that cell or into the sky and risk those glass shards and flying dirt hitting you."

"Improvisation, patience, and a level-head are key traits for a Hero to bear." Edgeshot agreed. "Remember that students should you find yourself in similar disorienting and difficult moments."

Meanwhile on the Helicarrier, Loki, a bit of remorse escaping his eyes, the secret Frost Giant made to leave. "You're going to lose." Loki stopped at Yamada's voice, turning back to look at the slumped, bloody agent.

Midnight squirmed in her seat again while the mood once more turned somber and angry.

"Am I?" Loki asked.

"It's in your nature." Hizashi replied.

Loki hummed in mock thought. "Your heroes are scattered. Your floating fortress falls from the sky. Where is my disadvantage?" Loki inquired, walking closer towards him.

"You lack conviction." Yamada simply said.

"Talking shit to the guy even when impaled. Respect." Hawks nodded, pointing his toothpick at Yamada.

Loki frowned in anger. "I don't think I'm-"

Yamada cut him off by firing the weapon, a red and yellow orb of energy firing out and striking at Loki, blasting him through a wall before tumbling to a stop.

"Yeah!" Bakugou roared. "Eat That You Reindeer Bastard!"

"So that's what it does." Yamada muttered to himself.

"Ooh, Mama like." Mei nodded, humming in approval.

"The weapon must have been made from the remains of the Destroyer." Melissa said. "It was left behind in that town and S.H.I.E.L.D. most certainly would have taken it to experiment on." Melissa then frowned once more in disgust. "And make more weapons out of it."

"At least this weapon was useful against Loki instead of misused." Asui pointed out, fairly.

Melissa nodded, smiling at Asui's honesty. "True." She agreed.

Aizawa looked at his monitor, reviewing the rapidly dropping numbers of their altitude. "All hands to crash stations immediately." The PA agent announced. Aizawa stared at the numbers simply and waited.

Over at Engine 3, Iron Man was continuing flying and pushing the blades while Izuku dangled from the wire while the Helicarrier was falling.

"Come on, Kacchan." Izuku cheered for his friend. "Faster."

"Don't tell me to go faster until you get back onto the ship, you nerd!" Bakugou roared back.

Their friends smirked at the unique friendship and support between the two, glad to see them working and supporting each other after their verbal fight.

Katsuki yelled in exertion as he sped up his speed, the red trails of his thrusters becoming a rapidly, circling comet of red light.

Ibara clasped her hands in prayer, them shaking in worry, while she rooted for her crush.

"Cap, hit the lever." Stark said.

"I need a minute here!" Cap yelled in reply, climbing up the wire to the lever.

"Lever, now!" Katsuki warned, ever-growing worry in his voice.

Izuku finally got onto the catwalk, slowly crawling in exhaustion while ducking from the Loki soldier still trying to fire on him, the bullets barely missing him.

"Shit shit shit!" Sero cursed. "Midoriya's still getting shot at by that bastard and Bakugou needs that lever fast!"

"Come on, Midobro!" Kirishima cheered. "Get there quickly!"

Iron Man started veering from the propeller blade in front of him, the blade's speed overtaking his. Katsuki stared around wide eyed as the blade behind him pushed against him and he started to slip down. "Uh-oh." Stark simply said.

"Shit." Bakugou simply cursed.

Instantly, Iron Man was sucked underneath the blade, screaming and groaning for help as he was being tossed around and chipped against the two series of blades of the engine.

"Bakugou!" Ibara yelled.

"He's getting shredded!" Kaminari exclaimed.

"Midori." Mina said worried.

Finally, Izuku reached out and pulled down the red lever.

"YES!" Ibara and the Bakusquad cheered.

With a startled yell, the blades slowed for a moment, Katsuki slipping through and out of the blades, quickly hovering to stop his descent, the thrusters sputtering randomly because of the damaged suit.

"Oh! He's alive!" Kaminari exclaimed, hand over heart.

Kirishima and Sero breathed out in relief that their friend was okay.

"Oh Midori! You beautiful, beautiful human being!" Mina cheered before grabbing Izuku's face and planting a big kiss on his cheek. Izuku, now marked with pink lipstick on his cheek, was fully red and steaming and one embarrassment away from passing out. Meanwhile, the girls glared surprised and outraged at Mina's impromptu action, especially Setsuna. Mina herself would later fully realize her action and blush purple.

Katsuki flew back towards Izuku. As Izuku got up on his knees and the armed man began to fire on him, Katsuki rammed straight onto the shooting man, the two landing roughly in the corridor, the man rendered unconscious.

"Oh Bakugou! You beautiful, beautiful man! Please, come here so I can give you a kiss!" Kaminari exclaimed overtly dramatic, making his best Mina impression.

The girl blushed more purple and mortified. "S-S-Shut Up!" Was all Mina could shout back in her embarrassment.

"Get your nasty mouth away from me, you Shitty Pikachu!" Bakugou declared as he pushed Kaminari away from him.

Ibara giggled at the interactions, knowing it was all in good fun. All Ibara cared for was that Bakugou was safe and he returned the favor by saving Midoriya.

Stark sighed tiredly as his suit ran out of power. Izuku looked to where Stark was and panted tiredly, too.

"Yay, Uncle Kacchan saved Papa!" Eri cheered. "Does that mean that you too are friends again?"

Izuku and Bakugou looked at each other and then towards Eri. "Sweetie, we were always still friends." Izuku reassured the little girl, petting her hair to her content. " Just because we had a little fight and were upset doesn't stop us from being friends. No matter how angry we are at them at times, true friends always come back and make things right, and save each other."

"Bah, in your dreams Deku!" Bakugou replied, arms crossed and head facing away. "I just saved your ass because you fixed your mistake and got me out of that engine! Consider us even!"

Izuku blinked before smirking challengingly, eyes full of mirth. "Oh really? We're even?" Izuku questioned, mirth in his voice. "That's funny because if I do the numbers right, you saved me two times in this video and I saved you about, hmm oh I don't know...three times."

"Why you!" Bakugou was held back by a snickering Kirishima and Sero while the rest of the class chuckled.

Eri looked between the two and smiled happily that the two friends made up.

Up on the deck, a Quinjet took off from the Helicarrier into the sky, the escaping Loki, in the cargo bay, smiling.

"Oh crap, Loki's escaped." Sen hissed.

"Brother." All Might growled.

If Monoma's form could slump and look more depressed it was now.

Aizawa rushed into the detention room towards the slumped over Yamada. "Sorry, boss." Yamada apologized. "The god rabbited."

And the mood of the room died once again, sniffles and hisses of anger heard once more.

Aizawa tensed up, his scarf ceased floating as his counterpart went to Yamada.

"Just stay awake." Aizawa dismissed and moved Hizashi's face to meet his eye. "Eyes on me."

"No...I'm clocking out here." Hizashi said, honestly, blood leaking from the side of his smiling mouth, his eyes tired.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no..." Midnight shook her head and whimpered, tears flooding her eyes.

Mic was silent as he took it all in silent strife.

"Not an option." Shouta protested, his eye wide and serious.

"Agreed." Aizawa hissed out.

"It's okay, boss." Hizashi assured his boss and friend, his breathing slowing. "This was never gonna work...if they didn't have something...t-to..."

Aizawa blinked, frowning, as Hizashi took his last breath, his glazed over eyes still open and hopeful.

The room was silent, save for the cries and curses that sprang up.

Vlad King and Hound Dog could be heard growling with sheer ferocity and anger that was frightening. The rest of the teachers had either wide eyes full of horror, disbelief, and shock, or rage-filled ones.

Nezu gritted his teeth, anger fully springing up from him at what he witnessed, the sheer aura of anger around the principal terrifying for all around him.

The students weren't much better. After recovering from his shock, Bakugou barely kept to his seat, hands crackling with mini-explosions, his eyes enraged and frightening. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu followed suit, their arms hardening with their Quirks and nearly shattering their armrests completely. Even Jurota, despite seeing the consequences of anger and losing control, had his own Quirk bubbling to rise up, roar in fury and attack Loki. Tokoyami had to hold back Dark Shadow, barely, and Kamakiri hissed and steamed with fury. Endeavor lowered his head, hissing in anger, while Hawks just slammed his hand into his armrest, cursing. Even Iida glared at the movie Loki, throwing logic to the wind, as he beheld the bloody spearpoint sticking out of Yamada's chest, remembering Stain's katana's stained in his blood and the blood of his brother.

Others were horror-stricken and saddened. Most of the girls, like Momo and Ibara, had their mouths over their agape mouths, tears welling up in their eyes. Mineta and Kaminari were frozen in shock, while Aoyama's eyes were horrified, his mouth covered to smother his choking whimpers and shaking his head in denial. Ochaco did the same, taking it even harder since her character knew Yamada more, the waterworks already falling down her eyes.

The Big Three were a mix of all three. Amajiki was frozen, his mouth quivering in shock, Nejire fell immediately to tears, and Mirio's eyes narrowed in rage, all three absolutely upset at what they just saw happened to one of their favorite teachers at U.A.

Eri once more began crying and hugged her Papa tightly, who hugged back, tears flowing down his eyes as well.

Mic thought back to the beginning of the movie, remembering his words as he saw him, Aizawa, and Nemuri. 'Heh, the old crew, together again.' Mic thought as he took of his shades and stared at them. 'Guess this is what I get for jinxing it.'

Aizawa closed his eye and bowed his head, saddened, his fist clenching angrily. He looked up towards the approaching medical team, slowly getting out of their way as he clung onto the railing, his mouth agape in a wide frown.

Shirakumo's broken, dead body played in Aizawa's mind again, but now, huddled next to him, bloody and impaled, was Yamada. Aizawa hissed in anger and sadness. He knew it was illogical, he knew that Yamada was right next to him, he could feel his hand on his shoulder. He then remembered something that Shirakumo said. "When it comes to the heart, nothing's logical."

As Kayama was getting treated for her head injuries, Aizawa called in with "Agent Yamada is down." Kayama's eyes widened and dismissed the man attending her as she listened in.

Midnight ceased struggling and lowered her head, tears falling down from her, obscured by her raven locks. Mount Lady looked up, seeing her crying eyes, and frowned, saddened, to see her mourn a friend in another life pass away, and guilty, for giving her such grief and anger for a while.

"A medical team is on its way to your location." An agent responded.

"They're here." Aizawa replied, Ochaco listening as agents dragged the unconscious Barton away.

Helmetless Iron Man and Captain America listened in. "They called it." Aizawa revealed. The two lowered their heads.

Mic sighed before looking at his two distraught friends. He reached out and pulled them into a hug, Aizawa showing no hesitation and Nemuri latching onto Yamada like he would fade away too if she let go.

Izuku tightened his hug on Eri at the words, guilt laying in heavy in his heart. Meanwhile, Bakugou's body shook, his visible teeth in a gritted frown. He remembered his counterpart and Yamada's talks and his aid in Iron Man 1 and further in Iron Man 2. Remembering only made him snarl more angrily. Then remembered how he and Ibara, in that world, were friends. He looked up to his girlfriend in another world, tearfully pray for Agent Yamada's peaceful rest in Heaven. He still noticed the vine attached to his wrist. His other hand reached out and grabbed and sooth the vine hair, as softly as he can.

The scene changed, the sad music playing still, Stark and Rogers sitting at the table, Aizawa stood across from them, their heads lowered in silence. Aizawa looked at an object in his hands. He looked towards Rogers saying "These were in Hizashi Yamada's jacket." Kayama, standing a few feet away, looked up at him. "Guess he never did get you to sign them." Aizawa tossed the objects towards Rogers, the Captain America trading cards landing in front of Cap, stained in fresh blood.

Izuku flinched, the guilt and anger laying in thicker seeing the near mint cards Agent Yamada was proud of stained in his own blood.

"We're dead in the air up here." Aizawa continued as Izuku grabbed one of the bloodied cards. "Our communications, the location of the Cube, Banner, Thor.." Izuku looked at the card of Izuku, in his stage costume with his first shield, saluting to him, the left edge stained in blood the most.

Jurota's head hung low, hand over his eyes and forehead, his slumped posture evident to his friends that he was weighed in guilt for even partially being responsible for this tragedy. All Might's sunken eyes were shadowed in sadness, his guilt in falling for his brother's illusion which resulted in Yamada stepping in and his death.

"I got nothing for you." Aizawa said, Katsuki head slumped and downward with a look of sadness. "I lost my one good eye." Stark blinked at his words.

Mic snickered, a bitter, yet happy smile that he could be that eye.

"Maybe I had that coming." Aizawa admitted. He looked to the two downtrodden heroes and sighed, beginning to walk towards them. "Yes, we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract." Stark and Rogers looked at him. "I never put my all chips on that number because I was playing something even riskier." Stark perked up, knowing what the Director was going to say.

"There was an idea, Stark knows this," Director Aizawa began, Izuku looking at Katsuki while Aizawa moved to the be in between them. "Called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more." Izuku listened carefully and silently. "To see if they could work together, when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could."

The words rang and sunk into the audience's hearts and minds. The Heroes looked at each other and nodded, knowing what Aizawa meant. All Might thought over who he was as the Symbol of Peace, how his dream was to become that Symbol for everyone to look up to, to usher in an age where people could live carefree, peaceful lives full of happiness and hope and that he would be the pillar for which it would stand on.

In the same track of mind, Izuku then thought about the present, of what happened after he retired. Crimes escalating, the League, the unrest, the doubt, greater mistrust in Heroes, Chaos. All because All Might was no longer there. He thought of the Villains that came about, infested in the cracks of the supposed peaceful society, growing from the shadows with their hate, their trauma, their pain unheard or helped, because the Hero everyone looked up to couldn't everywhere and they were the unlucky ones to be left aside. He looked at Eri and Kouta thought what the two might have become if he hadn't come to help.

'Perhaps...a single symbol is not enough.' All Might thought. 'Perhaps Japan, the world, needs something different.'

'Something more.' Izuku thought the same. 'A house cannot stand on one pillar alone, one Symbol alone.'

'Perhaps...' All Might looked towards Endeavor, the dubbed Symbol of a New Beginning, and Hawks, adored and beloved by the people.

'Perhaps...' Izuku looked to Bakugou, Todoroki, Iida, and the rest of his class.

'It needs something more.' The two concluded.

Aizawa looked to the silent, angry looking Stark. "Hizashi Yamada died still believing in that idea." Aizawa said. "In Heroes."

Katsuki rose to his feet and marched out of the room. The three watched him go silently. "Well," Aizawa crossed his arms behind his back, head down somber. "Its an Old-Fashioned notion."

"Sometimes," Izuku began saying, the group looking to him. "People might just need a little Old-Fashioned."

Izuku looked up to Mic and smiled. Mic shook of his surprise and smiled back, nodding gratefully and proud.

A dirtied up Thor walked through a field of tall grass and flowers towards Mjolnir, laying on the grass. Thor looked to his magical hammer and began to reach out towards it. Stopping, Thor looked to his hand, clenching it in pure anger and regret.

'I know what you are thinking.' All Might thought to his counterpart. 'You're thinking if you are truly worthy. Worthy enough to defend the Earth, the people, everyone when you don't have what it takes to truly face and stop your own brother. Whatever it takes.'

"You feel out of the sky." Banner awoke to the sound of an old man, looking around as he was buck naked, lying in a large pile of bricks, rocks, and metal pipes and beams, inside an abandoned-looking building or factory. He looked up to see the old man, wearing a security guard outfit, standing atop the pile.

"Hey look, Jurota's back to normal." Pony pointed out happily, to which Jurota sighed relieved.

"And he's naked." Yui pointed out too.

"Well duh of course he'd be naked." Setsuna shrugged. "His shirt and shoes were torn to shreds when he transformed, and his pants practically became shorts, which were likely burned off after that jet explosion."

The guys and girls did their best not to laugh at the embarrassment of Jurota. Izuku and Mirio covered up Eri and Kouta's eyes.

Bruce looked at himself and immediately realized what happened. Groaning in shame, he rubbed his hand over his face. He looked to the guard and asked "Did I hurt anybody?"

"There's nobody around here to get hurt." The guard replied, gesturing around him. "You did scare the hell out of some pigeons, though."

Cue another sigh of relief by Jurota.

"Lucky." Banner sighed in part relief, other part bitterness.

"Or just good aim." The guard suggested. "You were awake when you fell."

"You mean he chose and maneuvered his fall to land here?" Sen asked.

"Maybe if he did it was Banner doing it from inside the Hulk." Awase shrugged.

Jurota's counterpart looked up the old man. "You saw?" He asked.

"The whole thing." The guard answered, reaching for a pile of clothes at his feet. "Right through the ceiling. Big and green, and buck-ass nude." He tossed the clothes to Bruce. "Here. Didn't think those would fit you until you shrunk down to a regular-size feller."

"What a kind old man." Nejire smiled.

Bruce took the clothes and began to put on the pants. "Thank you." The scientist thanked.

"Are you an alien?" The old guard asked.

"What?" Bruce replied, confused.

"From outer space, an alien?" The guard repeated.

"No." Bruce answered.

"Well, then, son, you've got a condition." The old man said.

"That's one way to put it." Kamakiri said.

Bruce could only nod honestly.

Hitoshi Barton shook his head, sweat pouring down his head, his eyes and the room around him tinged blue, a ringing in his head.

"Why is the room tinged like that?" Mina asked. "And that ringing?"

"Perhaps it is a visual indication of what Shinsou is experiencing when brainwashed." Momo analyzed. "The blue hue around the room seems similar to the same blue hue his eyes have when brainwashed and the ringing could either be from the brainwashing too. Am I correct on that assumption, F.R.I.D.A.Y.?"

"Pretty much." F.R.I.D.A.Y. replied.

"Hitoshi." Ochaco, sitting on a chair beside the restrained-on-the-bed archer, said, Barton struggling against his restraints and groaning and shutting his eye sin pain. "You're going to be alright."

"You know that? Is that what you know?" Hitoshi chuckled, the blue hue of his eyes and the room fading away.

"Its fading away!" Pony exclaimed.

"His brainwashing is canceling out." Iida nodded. "This could mean that a hard hit to the head would be what is needed to free all those Loki has brainwashed."

Melissa frowned, not sure if she is comfortable seeing her father get hit hard in the head. 'Then again, I'm not fine with him being Loki's puppet any more.' Melissa thought.

Barton laid his head down on the pillow as Ochaco got up to pour a cup of coffee. "I've...I've got no window." Barton said. "I have to flush him out."

"You got to level out." Romanoff replied. "Its gonna take time."

"You don't understand." Hitoshi shook his head. "Have you ever had someone take your brain and play?" Romanoff stopped pouring. "Pull you out and stuff something else in?" Hitoshi looked to Romanoff. "Do you know what it's like to be unmade?"

Romanoff looked to Barton. "You know that I do." She replied.

"Uraraka?" Momo frowned, worried. "What does she mean by that?"

Ochaco had no answer to give, just as confused and worried about what her counterpart meant.

Jurota hummed in thought before he spoke "Do you remember what Romanoff said when she first met my counterpart?"

"That he picked a weird place to settle down for someone avoiding stress?" Kosei asked.

"No, after that." Jurota shook his head. "When I asked if the little girl that brought me to her was a spy? If they start out that young?"

Izuku frowned as he picked up what Jurota was saying. "That she did." Izuku answered. "That she started off training as a spy when she was that young." Izuku's fists tightened. "And I bet the training wasn't pleasant...or something Romanoff wanted."

The rest of Class 1-A and the teacher felt uneasy, worried, and unhappy at the idea of what this young Ochaco had to suffer through that she knew what it was like to 'be unmade'.

Hitoshi panted and looked around. "Why am I back?" He asked. "How did you get him out?"

"Cognitive recalibration." Ochaco answered, as she sat down on the bed. "I hit you really hard in the head."

"Thanks." Barton thanked. The two looked at each other silently.

Shinsou copied his counterpart by sending a thankful nod to Uraraka, who replied with a nod back and happy smile.

"Ochaco..." Hitoshi began as Ochaco made to remove his restraints. "How many agents did I-"

"Don't." Ochaco whirled to face him, her eyes serious and with no room for argument. "Don't do that to yourself, Hitoshi. This is Loki. This is monsters and magic, and nothing we were ever trained for."

"What she said." Uraraka said, earning another understanding, thankful nod from Hitoshi.

"Loki, did he get away?" Barton switched subjects.

"Yeah." Black Widow answered. "I don't suppose you know where."

Hawkeye shook his head. "I didn't need to know." He replied, the two getting up from the bed. "I didn't ask. He's gonna make his play soon, though." Barton took a cup and sipped. "Today."

"And since their communications are down and their data likely destroyed from the explosion, they don't know where Loki could be." Mirio said.

Hawks frowned, remembering back to the brief glimpse of a map that he saw when Banner located the Tesseract. 'Let's hope I'm wrong.' Hawks thought. 'But when have I ever been wrong?'

"We got to stop him." Ochaco said.

"Yeah? Who's 'we'?" Barton questioned.

"I don't know." Romanoff said. "Whoever's left."

"Well...if I put an arrow through Loki's eye socket, I'd sleep better, I suppose." Hawkeye offered.

Shinsou smirked. "Agreed." He said.

Black Widow smirked and sat beside him. "Now you sound like you." She said.

"But you don't." Barton pointed out. "You're a spy, not a soldier. Now you want to wade into a war. Why? What did Loki do to you?"

"Brainwashed one of my friends, attacked me and my friends, manipulated Jurota into the Hulk who attacked me, killed Agent Yamada." Uraraka listed, cracking her knuckles. "Do I need anymore reasons?"

Romanoff looked to Barton silently for a moment. "He didn't. I just..." She said before stopping, looking down to her hands.

"Ochaco." Hitoshi said, reassuringly.

"I've been compromised." Ochaco replied, honestly. "I got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out."

'I don't know what I did in my past, and if say it Deku and the others are going to say I did nothing wrong or I might not have had a choice,' Uraraka thought, gazing at the screen determined. 'But I got blood on my hands regardless, a debt I need to pay, and taking down Loki and saving the world? That's a start.'

Stark looked over the floor where Loki sent Thor and the cell down. Izuku walked in, standing at the other end of the room, leaning by the railing, arms crossed. "Was he married?" He asked.

"No." Katsuki replied. "There was a uh cellist, I think."

Mic flinched, mentally reminding himself not to ever Ever show this to his own 'cellist'.

"I'm sorry." Izuku apologized. "He seemed like a good man."

Katsuki scoffed. "He was an idiot."

"I'm sorry, say that?" Midnight's eyes twitched angrily over a dark smile.

"Why?" Izuku questioned, frowning. "For believing?"

"For taking on Loki alone." Stark answered, walking towards him.

"He was doing his job." Izuku defended the dead agent.

Katsuki scoffed again. "He was out of his league." He continued. "He should have waited. He should have..." The armored hero just scoffed and shook his head.

"I get where Kacchan's coming from." Izuku said before the group said a word. "He's angry. He's of the mind that Yamada could have lived if he didn't try to stop Loki himself and is angry that he did."

"Stop analyzing me, Deku!" Bakugou replied/admitted.

"Sometimes there isn't a way out, Katsuki." Izuku replied, walking up to him.

"Right, I've heard that before." Stark said, walking past the self-sacrificing soldier.

Izuku however couldn't help but flinch angrily, Setsuna too, at that jab about his own sacrifice and what it cost him.

"Is this the first time you lost a soldier?" Rogers questioned.

"We are Not Soldiers." Stark whirled to yell at Rogers, pissed. Izuku stared Katsuki down, the billionaire relenting with a sigh. "I'm not marching to Aizawa's fife."

"Neither am I." Izuku agreed. "He's got the same blood on his hands that Loki does."

"Wait hold on a minute-"

"He's right." Aizawa cut Present Mic off. "Thor said it himself. We tried experimenting with the Tesseract and it brought Loki and his master's attention. We brought him here and whatever blood Loki has shed is on me, my counterpart." Aizawa looked to the screen, cold eyed. "But now's not the time to crucify him. Loki must be taken down, now."

"But right now, we got to put that behind us and get this done." Izuku continued. Katsuki looked towards the wall beside him, Yamada's blood still plastered on it.

Mic, Aizawa, and Midnight flinched at the sight of Yamada's blood.

"Now, Loki needs a power source." Izuku said, Katsuki widen his eyes. "If we can put together a list-"

"He made it personal." Katsuki interrupted the super soldier.

"That we can agree on." Hitoshi said.

"That's not the point." Rogers replied.

"That is the point. That's Loki's point." Katsuki continued. "He hit us all right where we live. Why?"

"To tear us apart." Izuku answered.

"Yeah, divide and conquer is great, but he knows he has to take us out to win, right?" Stark said, his eyes alight with realization. "He wants to beat us, he wants to be seen doing it." Izuku looked at the billionaire, nodding as he was following along with his train of thought. "He wants an audience."

"Right." Rogers nodded, understanding. "I caught his act in Stuttgart."

Izuku's eyes showed that he caught on too. He looked to Bakugou to see he had the same thought come to mind.

"Yeah, that's just previews. This is opening night." Stark nodded in certainty, walking past Rogers and above the steps. "And Loki, he's a full-tilt diva, right? He wants flowers, he wants parades, he wants a monument built to the skies with his name plastered..."

Katsuki stopped, his mouth agape and eyes widened in horrifying realization. Izuku's brows raised along with him. "Son of a bitch." Stark cursed, walking down the steps.

The scene changed to David Selvig working on a large machine with the Tesseract inside it. Skyscrapers loomed next to below him as he stood on top of a building, the screen panning back to see he was on top of the New York Stark building.

Ochaco's eyes widened. "Oh no..." She gasped out.

"New York." Iida said, eyes wide as well. "He's the opening the portal in New York."

"And he's powering the device with the self-sustaining arc reactor under Stark Tower." Mei narrowed her angry eyes. "Using that poor baby to power his device and humiliate Stark."

"And unleashing the Chitauri on the city as a grand spectacle." Jurota concluded, gritting his teeth angry.

"That is it." All Might growled. "Brother, it is time to end this."

The door to Barton's room opened up to reveal Izuku, suited. "Time to go." Rogers said.

"Go where?" Ochaco asked.

"I'll tell you on the way." Izuku replied. "Can you fly one of those jets?"

The door to the bathroom opened, Hitoshi walking out. "I can." He answered.

Izuku looked to Shinsou and Uraraka. Without a word, the three nodded to each other, promising to have each other's back.

Izuku looked to Ochaco, wordlessly asking her if Barton was trustworthy. Upon her nod of affirmation, Cap looked to Hawkeye. "You got a suit?" He asked him.

"Yeah." Barton nodded.

"Then suit up." Captain America ordered, walking out.

"Ohoho, Here we go." Kaminari buzzed in excitement, rubbing his hands with a wide grin. "Loki's in trouble now."

With rising, climatic music, Thor picked up Mjolnir and held it in his hands. Rogers grabbed and lifted his shield, Barton strapped his quiver of arrows to his back, and Romanoff activated and charged up her Widow's Bites, electricity sparking in his gloves. Stark worked on his busted helmet with a drill, the lights of the helmet lightning up.

Bakugou slammed his fist over his open palm, a small explosion resulting, grinning in anticipation. "Showtime." He grinned.

Thor raised Mjolnir to the sky, lightning crashing onto his hammer, clouds gathering around. Iron Man put on the helmet, his hud appearing on his determined face. Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow made their way through a crowd of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, fully suited and determined. Electricity sparked onto Thor's arms, magically forming armor around them.

All Might smiled, a shine of light returning to Toshinori's eyes. Izuku smirked, eyes sparking with bio-electricity and confidence. Uraraka's and Shinsou's lit up in similar confidence and anticipation. Jurota glared at the screen, letting out a grin.

Mic and Aizawa looked at each other and nodded, smirking. 'You lit a fire under all of them.' Present Mic thought to Loki. 'That was your biggest mistake.'

Monoma looked at the energy that the six seemed to emit and smiled. 'Please, end this madness and stop me.' Monoma begged.

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent noticed Izuku, Ochaco, and Barton coming up to and walking into the Quinjet. "Hey, you guys aren't authorized to be in here." The agent tried saying.

Rogers raised his hand to stop the agent. "Son, just don't." He said, an air of finality in his words.

"Ooh, hello again confident, hot Midoriya." Setsuna teased, grinning widely.

Izuku's determined persona collapsed into blushing embarrassment, causing for the group to chuckle and laugh at his expense, with Toshinori chuckling fondly at his surrogate son, Shinsou to roll his eyes with a smile, Uraraka to glare jealously at Setsuna, Jurota chuckling awkwardly, and Bakugou to rage at Deku for 'ruining their dramatic moment'.

Director Aizawa stood over the glass floor of the bridge, looking down and shuffling through Agent Yamada's bloody cards.

Kayama walked up to him and said "Sir."

"Agent Kayama." Aizawa regarded without looking.

Kayama crossed her arms. "Those cards," She said, looking to her boss. "They were in Yamada's locker, not his jacket."

"What?" The students questioned, confused at the new development.

Aizawa put two and two together and sighed at yet another questionable decision/lie of his counterpart.

A slightly guilty Aizawa sighed, shoulders sagging, looking back down at the cards. "They needed the push." He admitted.

"Wait, so did Aizawa grabbed Yamada's cards from his locker and then wiped Yamada's fresh blood on them just to push Green and the others?" Kyouka asked.

"That's...a little messed up." Sero responded.

"A little? Its totally messed up." Kaminari replied.

"Like Aizawa said, they needed the push." Tokoyami spoke up.

Suddenly, Iron Man and the Quinjet flew out below them, taking off into the distance. "We have an unauthorized departure from Bay 6." The PA agent announced.

Shouta and Nemuri watched them go. "They found him." Aizawa guessed correctly. "Get our communications back up, whatever you have to do. I want eyes on everything."

"Yes, sir." Kayama complied, the two walking back.

Stark flew over several buildings of New York, his thrusters sputtering, cutting, and reigniting at times, flying towards Stark Tower in the distance.

"Go Bakubro, stop them!" Kirishima cheered for his friend.

The machine raised itself upwards, the Tesseract floating in between two metal poles, spinning around and crackling with energy. David stood nearby on a control console, watching with mad glee.

"Daddy." Melissa said, worried.

"Shit, it's active." Itsuka cursed. "He's too late."

"Sir, I've turned off the arc reactor," Jarvis reported. "But the device is already self-sustaining."

"Well there goes plan A out the window." Sen threw his hands up.

Iron Man slowed to a halt and hovered above Dr. Selvig and the Tesseract. "Shut it down, Dr. Selvig." Stark ordered.

"Listen to him, you idiot." David yelled at himself.

"It's too late!" Selvig turned and shouted to Stark. He turned back to the Tesseract and the machine. "She can't stop now." David turned back again to Katsuki, spreading his arms out and with zealous glee in his blue, brainwashed eyes. "She wants to show us something! A new universe."

"Okay." Katsuki replied, having enough. He aimed and fired two repulsor blasts to the device. A bubble of energy absorbed the two blasts before exploding it outward. Iron Man was sent back from the explosion, while Selvig crashed, headfirst, onto a metal structure and collapsed.

"Daddy!" Melissa yelled.

"Don't worry, Melissa." All Might reassured his niece. "David is alright. He's still breathing, he's just knocked unconscious."

"Well on the bright side that's one way to knock him out of his brainwashing." Hawks looked on the bright side.

The civilians down below looked up in alarm as they heard and saw Iron Man blasted back from the explosion.

"Civilians." Endeavor narrowed his eyes. "So close to what is about to happen, yet so unaware."

The Heroes joined the new Number 1 Hero in their worry over more than likely civilian casualties of the war that is about to occur.

Iron Man slowed to a halt, continuing to hover. "The barrier is pure energy." Jarvis analyzed. "Its unbreachable."

"Yeah, I got that." Stark replied, looking down to find Loki by the circular terrace, looking up at him with the Scepter in hand, smirking. "Plan B."

"Sir, the Mark 7 is not ready for deployment." Jarvis warned.

"Mark 7?" Uraraka questioned.

"So the Mark 3 was the first one that was in red and gold, the Mark 5 was the one that was a suitcase and the Mark 6 is the one he is currently using." Melissa listed off the Iron Man suits. "So this Mark 7 must be his latest one."

Mei squirmed in her seat in sheer excitement was what this Mark 7 was going to be.

"Then skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock." Stark retorted.

Iron Man landed on the platform, walking down the pathway as the machines began removing the Mark 6 armor. With his helmet off, Katsuki stared down at Loki, proceeding to walk inside to meet him, a curious look on him.

"Wait why is he removing his armor?" Kirishima said, worried. "That's kinda bad when he's going to be talking with a murderous demigod."

"He has a plan, I'm sure of it." Izuku defended Stark. "And he probably needs Loki to lower his guard for it."

Ibara made a sign of the cross and prayed. "Please, be safe." Ibara whispered out, hoping both Katsuki's could hear her.

"Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." Loki suggested, now inside the penthouse and walking towards Stark.

"Uh actually, I'm planning to threaten you." Katsuki spoke honestly, walking down the second level.

"Brutally honest as ever." Kyouka said.

"Is there any other way 'Kacchan' does? Because we would want to make a trade." Mina joked.

"Screw off, Horns." Bakugou simply replied with a middle finger.

Loki chuckled. "You should have left your armor on for that." Loki suggested again.

"At times the greatest threats come at a person's weakest moment." Edgeshot sagely said.

"Chalk another wise sage moment of Master Edgeshot." Hawks said, mockingly bowing to the Shinobi Hero. "Sensei."

Edgeshot chose to ignore the mock, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah." Stark mused. "It's seen a but of mileage, and you've got the glow stick of destiny."

"True, that baby was incredibly damaged after the Helicarrier battle." Mei nodded.

Loki smirked, looking to his Scepter, amused. "Would you like a drink?" Stark asked.

"Stalling me won't change anything." Loki said.

"No, no, no, threatening." Katsuki reminded, walking up to the bar. "No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one."

Loki scoffed, turning and walking towards the window. "The Chitauri are coming." Loki revealed. "Nothing will change that." He looked back to Katsuki. "What have I to fear?"

"The Avengers." Stark replied.

Smirks and grins appeared on the students' faces.

Loki's eyes blinked, confused.

"That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team." Stark clarified, pouring himself a drink. "'Earth's Mightiest Heroes'-type thing."

"Ooh, I like that." Mirio nodded, pleased.

"That sounds so cool." Kouta said, starry-eyed.

Izuku blinked and pondered for a moment, before pulling out his notebook and writing down the name of the Avengers and their moniker.

"Yes, I've met them." Loki smiled, knowingly and confident.

"Yeah." Katsuki smiled back. "It takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count, here. Your brother the demigod."

Toshinori stuck his chest out, proud to be a member of such a team.

Loki snarled jealously and turning away. Katsuki took the moment to grab and put on a metal bracelet.

"Nice." Mandalay nodded. "He called out Thor first to get Loki unhinged and distracted so that he can get that device."

"Though what even is it?" Pixie Bob questioned. "Something to call one of his suits?"

F.R.I.D.A.Y. chose to be silent for that.

"A super soldier, a living legend, who kind of lives up to the legend," Katsuki continued.

Izuku smiled, looking to Kacchan to see him facing away from him and trying to hide a small smile.

"A man with breathtaking anger-management issues,"

Jurota chuckled and rubbed his neck awkwardly again.

"A couple of master assassins,"

Uraraka and Shinsou no-look fist bumped with smirks on their faces.

"And you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Stark pointed at Loki.

"Its apparently a gift that he and his counterpart both share." Setsuna pointed out, Monoma flinched.

"That was the plan." Loki bragged smugly.

"Not a great plan." Stark retorted, walking to Loki with his drink. "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."

"I have an army." Loki replied, threateningly.

"We have a Hulk." Stark fired back.

"So pretty much even." Kyouka quipped, the group chuckling.

"Oh, I thought the beast wandered off?" Loki questioned sarcastically.

"You're missing the point. There's no Throne." Katsuki ignored him and continued. "There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes, and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll Avenge it." Stark sipped from his drink.

"Manly!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu fist-bumped.

Toshinori and Nezu smiled and nodded.

Izuku and Bakugou nodded, smirking at the same time.

Loki stalked towards him, frowning. "How will your friends have time for me, when they are so busy fighting you?" Loki asked.

"Oh no, he's going to brainwash him!" Kinoko yelled.

Ibara's eyes widened frightfully. "No!"

Loki raised his Scepter, the gem humming with power. The glowing blade pressed itself onto Stark's chest...the arc reactor, more specifically, the metals tapping and the hum of power cut off. Loki looked at the scene, startled and confused.

"Huh?" Was the general reaction from the group.

Loki shook his head and tried again, the same result occurring. "This usually works." Loki said, his brows narrowed confused.

"HA!" Setsuna let out a large chuckle. "He's tapping his arc reactor! That's why its not working!"

"Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon." Stark quipped.

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Setsuna and Mina burst out laughing, followed swiftly by the rest. Monoma would have laughed if it wasn't technically himself they were laughing at.

"One out of five-" Stark was cut off by Loki grabbing his throat, tossing him to the ground by the window. "Jarvis, anytime now."

"No!" Ibara yelled again.

Stark got up to have his throat grabbed by a snarling Loki again. "You will all fall before me." Loki growled enraged.

"Deploy!" Katsuki shouted as he was lifted up, a section of the wall behind them beginning to open up. "Deploy!" Loki then tossed Katsuki through, the billionaire hero flying through the glass and towards the ground.

"Kacchan!/Katsuki!" Izuku and Ibara yelled.

Katsuki screamed as he fell, correcting and angling his body parallel to the ground below.

With the sound of power humming, Loki turned to be met, and knocked to the ground, by a rocketing metal object. The red metal object rocketed down towards the falling Stark, a few pieces detaching as it spread itself out and made its appearance more acknowledgeable tot eh audience.

"Its an Iron Man suit!" Mei exclaimed happily, eyes giddy and shining at the tech. "It must be the Mark 7!"

Two sensors popped out and shined a red search light, the lights moving to and focusing on Katsuki's bracelet, which glowed red in acknowledgement.

"So that's what that bracelet was." Midnight said. "Its an identification scanner."

The suit spread out more and encompassed Stark's body, attaching itself around his arms, legs, and body as they neared the ground, ending with the Iron Man helmet clasping over his face. The hud appeared, as civilians looked up in fright of the approaching Iron Man. Katsuki thrusted his arms forwards, the thrusters firing and slowing his descent to a stop. He quickly flew back up.

"That was Badass!" Kaminari cried out.

"Not bad." Hawks smirked, impressed. "10 out of 10 style."

Mei was salivating at the thought sight of the armor, pleased as well to see Melissa snatching Izuku's notebook to write on it again.

Izuku and Ibara sighed relieved that Bakugou was alright, while the explosive teen, himself, smirked at how cool he was.

"And there's one other person you pissed off." Loki heard as he got up and faced the broken window. Staring out to see Iron Man, the Mark 7 suit sporting a circular chest piece in the middle. "His name was Hizashi."

Mic smirked and pounded his fist over his heart and nodded in respect.

Loki began to raise his Scepter at him, Iron Man raising his hand and fired first with a repulsor blast, blasting the groaning god to the floor.

"Ha! And stay down!" Bakugou exclaimed.

The device came alive and fired a pillar of blue energy to the sky. Stark looked up to see the beam stop and split the sky, a blue portal beginning to open.

"Oh wait...we kinda forgot about that." Kaminari paled and pointed.

Sunlight shined through the faces of several hovering alien, some of them growling as they made their way forward the light. And out from the portal, riding on their hovering gliders came the Chitauri.

"Oh, right." Stark realized, eyes widened fearfully, while the blue hud on his screen shifted to red. "Army."

Bakugou had only one reply: "Fuck."


AAAAAANNNNNDDDDD SCENE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! I, THE DASTARDLY STORMVOID HAVE ONCE AGAIN LEFT YOU ALL IN A CLIFFHANGER! DESPAIR AS YOU WAIT ONCE AGAIN FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THE FINAL BATTLE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Also Merry Christmas! Insert apology about wanting to release it sooner and lazy excuse bla bla bla, but at least I managed to get this out as a Christmas present from me to you all. But in all seriousness I had a lot to do this month and lots of other things to make me rather lethargic. I was busy watching the newly released Witcher 2 and the Nightmare of the Wolf animated movie that I hadn't watch until recently. I am told that a lot of people are not happy with it since its 'not 100% like the books', but as someone that has enjoyed the show thus far and knows a little about the games, they weren't 100% like the books and nobody said boo. I don't know, I guess I'm just not as well-versed on the Witcher and I'm trying not to be too overtly critical on the Witcher, less it end up like another Game of Thrones, and I'm a little desensitized to the whole race-swapping of characters because its pretty typical of the racists in Hollywood.

I also watched Spider-Man No Way Home and Oh my God It was absolutely Perfect! Everything I wanted, Everything I hoped would be in this movie was in it and done beautifully. No spoilers or anything, despite Youtube and everybody already doing it for me, just watch it and see for yourself. Way better than the recent Marvel movies like Eternals, its a solid, concise, epic movie with a lot of nostalgia and fan service, but nostalgia and fan service done right with actual meaning and purpose in the story.

Also, I have been a little lethargic of late, waking up earlier to pick up my siblings from school, got into a bit of a heated fight with my family over a lot of pent up aggression and demeaning insults that left me shunning them for a while and lethargic to write, and classic writer's block, so I hope you can forgive the subpar writing in this chapter.

Speaking of, despite it being subpar, I hope you like guys understand what I was going for and appreciate it, this has not been my best of chapters I feel, but I will put in 110% for the next one that I will be trying to push out sooner. Though no promises.

I also hope that I did well enough with Coulson's death and the audience's reaction to it, as well as the famous quote of Nick Fury of the Avengers. They are incredibly significant moments for the MCU that I wanted to put my all in, or at least as much as I can muster at the time. I also hope you guys like my try in translating Hulk's transformation and intimidating presence and appearance on words, that I also tried to work hard on, and Stark's talk with Loki as well, one my favorite scenes from the movie.

So yeah, next chapter its Assembling time! But until then I hope you guys like the chapter, leave your honest thoughts in the reviews and comments below, keep each other safe and healthy in these trying times, check out my other stories if you want, and have a great holiday.

This has been Zayden StormVoid wishing you all a Merry, Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza! Ho ho ho!
