Hey guys, what's up? What's up? Norisu Ninja here! Back to continue the My Hero Academia: Age of Ultron story and pick where we last left off. So yeah, I like to thank all those who have supported this story and wished me to continue on pressing with it. I was honestly surprised that other people wanted Ultron in a My Hero Academia story and since no one ever made one, I figured I might as well go for it. So yeah, this story will be referencing some of the past events that had taken place in the MHA storyline while also showing some references and cameo appearances of past MCU movies that have been shown over the years. And just to be clear, this story will be taking place somewhere after the Joint Training Arc right after Bakugo and Todoroki have finally received their Provisional Hero Licenses. So yeah, feel free to give me any ideas if you want.
Also My Hero Academia is owned and created by Kohei Horikoshi and most of the other superheroes are owned by Marvel comics.
So without any further ado, let's get right to it, shall we?
It all began in the town of Qing Qing, China. With news of the birth of a mysterious "luminescent baby"!
Shortly thereafter, similar phenomena popped up all over the world. The trigger for these newfound powers was never determined, but as time progressed...
What was once extraordinary became ordinary. The supernatural became the natural and dreams became a reality.
Throughout the Earth, around eighty percent of the world's population have developed unique uncanny abilities, or 'individualities' called Quirks.
We have entered the age of a new society: a society of superhumans!
And in this world whirling in chaos, a certain profession that people used to aspire to only in daydreams has stepped into the light of day.
The Age of Heroes!
Of course, this great phenomenon was also accompanied by an accompanying increase in crime levels caused by people who used their new gifts for their own selfish reasons. They were known as Villains.
When chaos ensued, nations dawdled in making any sort of radical change to laws.
Men and women of courage took inspiration from comics and donned the mantle of heroism! They began policing this brave new world, and defending innocents from evil! Suddenly, through the swell of public opinion, heroism gained rights as an official occupation; as Pro Heroes!
And due to their various acts of meritorious service, they obtained income from the state! And renown from the people!
My name is Izuku Midoriya and I was born without any special powers. I was Quirkless and because of that I almost gave up on my dream of becoming a hero.
But my life changed completely when I met the No. 1 Pro, the person that I admired my entire life: All Might.
All Might noticed my potential and through this he offered me the chance of a lifetime: he offered me his Quirk, One For All, a Quirk that's been passed down from generation to generation.
From there on I was able to enroll at a prestigious Hero course at U.A. High School, a prestigious school where many of the world's champions have walked through its halls. It was through there I was able to meet my classmates of Class 1-A where we later on became friends.
Soon after that, I began running towards my dreams, learning to overcome obstacles and save people with a smile on my face.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, this is the story of how I became the world's greatest hero.
U.A. High School, Class 1-A:
"Deku?"
Izuku Midoriya, young hero in training, can be seen sleeping with his right cheek on his desk while also snoring a snot bubble. He was currently taking a nap
"Hey Deku?" Ochaco Uraraka, a young girl with auburn colour hair with short bangs as well as auburn eyes and blush marks on her cheeks called out. "Are you going to wake up?"
"Midoriya!" a sharp authoritative voice then called out.
Almost instantly, Izuku yelped as the snot bubble from his nose popped and he lifted his head from his desk quickly and caused him to do some sharp head turns in comical fashion.
[Name: Izuku Midoriya. Hero Name: Deku. Quirk: One For All. A special Quirk that stockpiles power from being passed down from generation to generation that increases all physical attributes to a great degree.]
"What? What is it? What is it?! What did I miss?!" Izuku replied frantically, worried that he missed something important, only to have a comforting hand land on his right shoulder.
Izuku noticed the hand and turned to see one of his best friends, Ochaco smiling at him.
"Don't worry, Deku." she said with a reassuring smile. "You didn't miss anything at all. It's just that you look rather tired recently. Like you usually seem to be more attentive." The auburn haired girl then showed a look of worry. "Is everything okay?"
[Name: Ochaco Uraraka. Hero Name: Uravity. Quirk: Zero Gravity. Removes the effects of gravity of solid things upon touching them with the pads on her fingertips.]
Izuku blushed at his friend's concern for his well being. "N-No, no, no! Not at all! I'm fine, Uraraka! Really!" Izuku began, reassuringly, rapidly. "I did some late night training so I ended up sleeping late last night, that's all!" he said as he let out a nervous laugh.
There was some truth to his words as he did some late night training last night before going to sleep after his meeting with All Might regarding the field trip to the Tech Expo at New York. The fact that his idol is going to be seeing the end results of his training during his free time during the trip made him do some last minute practices before going to bed.
"While I do appreciate and admire the fact that you attempt to live up to our school's reputation, Midoriya, I must remind you to not neglect yourself." The class representative, Tenya Ida replied in a disapproving tone.
[Name: Tenya Ida. Hero Name: Ingenium. Quirk: Engine. A Quirk that gives him car-like engines on each of his calves, giving him incredible speed and extreme kicking power.]
Izuku turned to see the tall boy glasses wearing boy. "Proper sleep is mandatory to maintain a restful mind and body for a brand new day." he said while chopping the air with his hand like a robot. "You must be responsible to sleep at the right and proper time otherwise your sleep cycle will be left misplaced!" he exclaimed in his usual strict authoritative tone.
Izuku laughed sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, I'll keep that in mind, Ida." he said.
"Ugh, would you assholes just shut up already?!" the growling harsh voice of Katsuki Bakugo called out, who was leaning back on his chair with his legs on the table. "Seriously I'm trying to take a nap here and you losers are simply wasting your breath loudly on Deku of all fucking people!"
[Name: Katsuki Bakugo. Hero Name: N/A. Quirk: Explosion. Allows Katsuki to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms and ignite it at will to create explosions of various sizes.]
"Kacchan." Izuku sweatdropped as he was already used to his childhood friend's behaviour
"Don't be mean." Ochaco pouted.
"Bakugo!" Ida called out. "As class representative, I won't allow you to use such foul profanities in our class, especially against some of our classmates! Not to mention you shouldn't disrespect school property by placing your legs on that table! " he called out.
"SHUT UP THE HELL UP, FOUR EYES!" The ashy blonde teen barked in rage.
"Whoa easy there, buddy." Eijiro Kirishima said as he popped next to his pal. "Sorry about that, class rep. I'll try to keep him under control." he waves a hand with a toothy grin.
[Name: Eijiro Kirishima. Hero Name: Red Riot. Quirk: Hardening. Eijiro's Quirk gives him the ability to harden and sharpen any or all parts of his body, causing his flesh to become jagged and rock-alike.]
"Shut up, shitty hair!" Bakugo yelled. "I don't need your help or anyone's help to be kept under control!"
"Are you even listening to what you're saying right now?" Denki Kaminari, a blonde haired boy with lighting streaks asked in disbelief.
[Name: Denki Kaminari. Hero Name: Chargebolt. Quirk: Electrification. Allows him to generate electricity and cover his body in it. Though exceeding his wattage limit can short-circuit his brain and leave him vulnerable for a period of one hour.]
"SHUT UP OR DIE! ELECTRO DORK!" Bakugo growled in anger causing the blonde teen to yelp and back away a bit in fear to avoid Katsuki's wrath.
"Where is Aizawa Sensei?" Momo Yaoyorozu, the vice president of Class 1-A asked. "I mean, it's like him to be late. He's always on time to teach class?"
[Name: Momo Yaoyorozu. Hero Name: Creati. Quirk: Creation. It gives her the ability to create any non-living material or object from her exposed skin by transforming the molecular structure of her fat cells.]
Izuku blinked when he heard what Momo said and looked ahead in front of him to see that the front desk was empty, showing no sign of their homeroom teacher anymore.
"That is kind of odd," The green haired boy thought. "It's not like for Aizawa Sensei to show up late. Maybe he got caught up in something important?" he wondered.
"Well I hope he does show up cause I really can't wait anymore!" Mina replied while waving her hands in the air in an impatient manner. "I've actually been looking forward to the trip to New York! I've already packed all my stuff and ready to check out all the amazing sights!" she squealed in excitement with a wide grin.
[Name: Mina Ashido. Hero Name: Pinky. Quirk: Acid. Mina's Quirk allows her to secrete a corrosive liquid from her body. She can also control the solubility and viscosity of the corrosive liquid.]
"I know what you mean," a female voice said, cheerfully, coming from an invisible U.A. school uniform. "I can't wait to check out all the fashion stores and the types of clothes New York has to offer." The Invisible girl, Toru Hagakure said in an excited tone.
[Name: Toru Hagakure. Hero Name: Invisible Girl. Quirk: Invisibility. Makes her body completely invisible.]
"You're interested in checking out the clothes section, Toru?" Kyoka Jiro, a girl with long elongated jack like plugs on her earlobes, with a raised brow.
[Name: Kyoka Jiro. Hero Name: Earphone Jack. Quirk: Earphone Jack. This Quirk provides her with a pair of headphone jacks hanging from her earlobes which give her enhanced hearing and distinguish soundwaves when they're plugged into any surface.]
"Uh huh," Toru replied with a nod (Though nobody could see it). "You see the thing is when you're invisible most of the time. You have to find other means to make you look more representable! That also means wearing some of the trendiest clothes!" she said while raising her arms in the air which can only be seen by the sleeves of the blazer of her uniform.
Yup, the trip to the New York Tech Expo was today and with classes now officially over they are waiting for their respected homeroom teacher to arrive and give them permission to leave the classroom and go to the dorms where they can take their packed bags and luggage that they packed prior before classes started to leave for the airport.
They all had to ask permission from their parents or guardians and get them to sign the permission slip that the school gave them in order to let them go for the trip. While his mother was worried about her son being in another country, Izuku assured her that he won't be alone and that his friends will be with him, while that did reassure her, Inko was still feeling teary eyed about the whole situation; so much that Izuku who also began to have tears in her eyes comforted his mom.
In the end, the room they were in was flooded with emotional tears.
They've also been informed that while they're in New York, they will be staying with another Hero Academy who was more than willing to let them stay with them for the most part of the trip.
The idea of staying with another Hero academy of heroes-in-training in another country actually made most of them excited, especially Izuku who was really looking forward to seeing the types of heroes and the kind of Quirks they all possess, he got so excited over the prospect that he began unknowingly mutter to himself again about the idea while the others around him noticed this and sweatdropped while smiling.
"There he goes, again." They thought in unison as almost all of them have gotten used to.
"Urgh, SHUT UP THE HELL UP, DEKU!" Katsuki barked while letting some small explosions spark from his hand causing the green haired hero fanboy to scream comically in fright.
Yeah, almost all of them have gotten used to it.
"So noisy," Fumikage commented in his usual neutral tone as he was seen sitting on the table. "Must you always have to shout such profanities at every slight given moment."
[Name: Fumikage Tokoyami. Hero Name: Tsukuyomi. Quirk: Dark Shadow. Allows him to manifest a sentient shadow monster to fight alongside him. The strength of the Dark Shadow varies as it's limited and easier to control during the day while it's powerful and more difficult to control when it's dark.]
"Shut up, birdhead!" Katsuki snapped at the goth student. "Nobody asked for your opinion!"
"So uncivilized." Fumikage muttered as he shook his head.
"Still I think I can say for everyone that this trip is going to be something that's really going to be cool," Hanta said with his usual toothy grin.
[Name: Hanta Sero. Hero Name: Cellophane. Quirk: Tape. Allows him to fire and retract tape-like strings from the tape dispenser-like organs in his elbows. They are also sturdier than regular tape.]
"I mean think of all the cool sights and stuff that we might get to see or do," he mused. "Like the Statue of Liberty."
"Or checking out the cool and trendy stores at Times square!" Mina chimed in.
"Truly magnifique!" Yuga exclaimed while striking a pose from his seat.
[Name: Yuga Aoyama. Hero Name: Can't Stop Twinkling. Quirk: Navel Laser. Allows him to fire a powerful sparkling laser from her navel.]
"Or checking out the sweet stores and cakes they got." Sato pointed out.
[Name: Rikido Sato. Hero Name: Sugarman. Quirk: Sugar Rush. Allowed him to increase his strength through consumption of ten grams of sugar.]
"Or seeing all the cool heroes out there." Izuku stated.
"Not to mention all the harem and porn magazines out there!" Minoru screeched as he raised his hand in the air.
[Name: Minoru Mineta. Hero Name: Grape Juice. Quirk: Pop Off. His hair produces pluck ball-shaped objects from his head that are incredibly sticky and stick to any person or surface except him.]
Just then, a long tongue slapped the tiny pervert on the head causing him to grimace.
"Stop it. If you weren't so perverted then girls might start liking you. Ribbit."
Tsuyu said in her usual blunt tone.
[Name: Tsuyu Asui. Hero Name: Froopy. Quirk: Frog. Gives her all the abilities and qualities of a frog. This includes a long tongue and strong leg strength.]
"I h-honestly am curious about the type of people we will meet at the Hero Academy." Koji said in a shy manner who was still getting used to voicing his opinion out loud. "Hopefully, they're friendly."
[Name: Koji Koda. Hero Name: Anima. Quirk: Anivoice. Allows him to command any animal in the animal kingdom.]
"By the way, what was the name of the school we're going to again?" Denki asked with a raised brow.
"S.H.I.E.L.D Academy High." Izuku answered the stun gun hero's question with a smile. "That's the name of the hero school Mr. Aizawa told us last week." he explained.
"He did?" Denki asked in surprise.
"Figures you be the only one who forget, Jamming Yay." Kyoka teased in her usual tone while playing with one of her jacks.
"Oh just shut up, Jiro!" Denki exclaimed, defensively at the purple haired girl. "Anyone can easily forget something, you know."
"Yeah, but for you," she pointed with her jack. "Forgetting is natural."
Denki just groaned in exasperation. "You just love tearing into me, don't you?" he said.
"Well, hopefully we could use this as a chance to get some more experience in Hero work." Mashirao said as he patted his tail. "This could be a great opportunity to strengthen up on our skills while training among different students."
[Name: Mashirao Ojiro. Hero Name: Tailman. Quirk: Tail. Provides him with a long, sturdy tail which can also function as a third arm.]
"I know what you mean," Mezo spoke with his six arms folded after being silent throughout the whole conversation. "We all could use this as a good training experience." he nodded.
[Name: Mezo Shoji. Hero Name: Tentacole. Quirk: Dupli-Arms. Grants him a set of tentacles to replicate other parts of his body such as mouth, ears, eyes, etc. The duplicated body parts are also more efficient than the originals.]
"Mmhmm. Certainly it will." Shoto nodded in response to this.
[Name: Shoto Todoroki. Hero Name: Shoto. Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot. Allows him to generate ice from his right side and flames from his left side.]
Just then, Shota Aizawa, better known as the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A entered the room and in instant all the students who weren't sitting in their seats immediately and pin drop silence fell throughout the whole classroom as they were rather afraid at how strict their teacher can be and the punishments he gave out.
"Morning class," Aizawa droned as he made his way towards his desk.
They all greeted their homeroom teacher in return as the Erasure Hero took a breath.
"Alright, everyone, as it stands out, everything's been set. With classes now over, the Principal gave the permission that you can now leave and go to your dorms and grab your stuff so that we can leave for the airport." he said in a monotone.
Upon hearing that, most of the students let out cheers at the prospect of finally getting to go.
"Oh yeah! Time's square, here I come!"
"I'll make sure to take lots of photos of all places!"
"This will surely be fun!"
"I can't wait to see all the hot babes in bikinis out there! It makes my mouth drool to touch them!"
"When will you learn to stop being such a creep, Mineta!"
"All of you just shut the hell up, will ya?!"
The constant commotion caused Shota to glare as his eyes glowed and his hair to stand on end as he activated his Quirk, causing every student to stop yelling and sit back in their seats and silence once again formed in the room.
[Name: Shota Aizawa. Hero Name: Eraserhead. Quirk: Erasure. He can nullify another person's Quirk by looking at the user. The effects of this Quirk can still last even if Shota's line of vision is out of range.]
"As I was saying," Aizawa said as his eyes lost its glow and his hair fell down. "You may now leave the classroom and get your luggage. From there meet outside the area where the buses are. Try not to be so loud about it." he said as he took a protein drink from his pocket and had a fill of it.
Most of the students grabbed all their belongings and quickly left the classroom once they heard their teacher excuse them and ran as fast as they could back to Heights Alliance where the dorms of the Hero Course are. From there they checked their luggage to see if they missed anything before they left the dorms and headed to where their teacher informed them.
When they reached the bus area they noticed Class 1-B, the other class of the Hero Course has come as well and just like them, all the students of 1-B will be coming along again.
"Well, well, well," a voice called out from the class. "If it isn't the famous Class 1-A." the voice sneered.
The students of Class 1-A saw the person who called them out and grimaced. It was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes with a sly condescending smile. It was Neito Monama.
"Not that I'm bothered that you all are joining us on this trip," he said, still not losing his smile. "But hopefully you won't attract too much attention to yourselves once we reach America. Granted no one there knows you as off yet but you never know." he said.
[Name: Neito Monoma. Hero Name: Phantom Thief. Quirk: Copy. Neito's able to duplicate and use another person's Quirk after coming in physical contact with the user.]
Neito's expression then changed into one while didn't lose his smile, it was now one that was devoid of any sanity. As a mad grin then formed on his face. "It's like I previously stated before. First the USJ, then the Hero-Killer, then that event at the forest training camp! What kind of a huge catastrophe are you about to spring on us now that we're on this trip together?!" he laughed hauntingly causing the students of Class 1-A to grimace at the blonde boy's behaviour.
That was until his laughter was halted by a swift chop on his neck, knocking him out cold by the class president of Class 1-B.
Itsuka Kendo gave her fellow classmate a disapproving look as she now held on to the collar of the blonde boy's shirt before he could fall down on the floor.
"Geez, will you ever stop antagonizing them?" Kendo said to the unconscious Neito before looking at Class A and bowing her head. "Sorry about that." She apologized. "We'll try to keep him under control."
[Name: Itsuka Kendo. Hero Name: Battle Fist. Quirk: Big Fist. She's capable of enlarging both of her hands into a gigantic size. With the increased size comes enhanced striking power and gripping capabilities.]
The Class A students all sweatdropped at this motion but nodded regardless. They didn't care much about Neito's antagonizing, at this point they were more concerned about his mental health.
"Yo Kirishima!" a boy with a tan coloured substance over his eyes among the group of Class 1-B waved with a shark toothy grin. "Dude! How's it been man?!" he yelled in a friendly tone.
Eijiro noticed and grinned to see his friend/rival of Class 1-B. "Tetsutetsu! It's been great, bro! How about you?!" he shouted in the same friendly tone.
[Name: Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Hero Name: Real Steel. Quirk: Steel. He can turn his whole body into steel. This augments both his defensive abilities to withstand attacks as well augment his offensive abilities.]
The two "manly" students of Class A and Class B ran to each other and shared a fist bump while still grinning.
"Man, look at you, bro!" Kirishima exclaimed. "You've been working out, dude?"
"You know it, bro!" Tetsutetsu replied loudly with a nod. "What about you, bro?! You've been working out too?!"
"You know it, bro!"
"That's so cool bro!"
"You know it, man!"
The two boys continued to engage with their 'manly' banter while the two classes continued to engage in conversation while they waited for their respected teachers to arrive.
"Hey Pony!" Toru cheerfully waved at the horned American teen who smiled happily in return. "Have you seen the latest episode of Devil Slayer?" she asked with excitement in her voice.
Pony smiled upon hearing this. "Uh huh, you know I keep up to date with all the episodes of that anime. So yeah that I did see it." she said with a nod before her eyes shined with stars at remembering it. "It was so cool, the climax where Tai defeated the Spider demon was amazing!" The pony girl gushed. "This is why I love anime. It's so dramatic, cool and stylish! The perfect combination."
[Name: Pony Tsunotori. Hero Name: Rocketti. Quirk: Horn Cannon. It gives her a pair of horns on her head. She is able to launch her horns as projectiles and a new set will grow immediately.]
"It sure is alright!" Toru nodded (or that's what it looks like). "Wow, I can't wait for the next episode!"
As the two girls continued talking about their favourite anime, Kinoko was seen talking to Tokoyami with Shihai just beside her.
"It's so shrool how you got to intern with the No.2 hero, Hawks, Fumikage." Kinoko said, giddily while Shihai just had his usual apathetic expression, though if one were to look closely they will notice that the dark boy of Class 1-B felt a bit uncomfortable to see how close Kinoko is with the goth of Class A.
[Name: Kinoko Komori. Hero Name: Shemage. Quirk: Mushroom. She's capable of spreading various types of fungus spores from her body. The spores will quickly grow into full-grown mushrooms once they make contact with a solid surface.]
"You must received some really intense shroining!" The mushroom girl giggled.
Fumikage blinked a bit at the response. "That's correct. It was through his guidance that I was able to create my Black Fallen Angeltechnique. "His advice provided for extra mobility."
"That certainly was quite the display you showed, Tokoyami." Shihai spoke in a dramatic tone that was similar to Fumikage. "That certainly does make quite a banquet of darkness." he complemented.
[Name: Shihai Kuroiro. Hero Name: Vantablack. Quirk: Black. He is capable of merging his body into anything that is dark in color, whether naturally dark or dark via external circumstances, such as shadows. While merged, he can move at great speeds to evade attacks.]
Kinoko giggled. "I know this might be too much to ask, but is it possible if you can get an autograph of his for me, please?"
Fumikage blinked at this before nodding slightly. "I… don't know. But I'll try."
"Thank you, Fumi." Kinoko playfully stuck her tongue out as she giggled causing Fumikage to flinch slightly and for Shihai to fidget a bit but said nothing.
"Glad to see you have recovered well after our Joint training session, Yaoyorozu." Kendo smiled at the class representative of Class A.
"You seem to be doing fine on your own." Momo nodded. "I must say that you've really improved on your fighting style with your Quirk. I certainly struggled to keep up." she said as she rubbed the back of her neck.
Much to Momo's surprise, Kendo shook her head. "No Yaoyorozu, my team and I may have won that match, it didn't feel like I won that match to me." she said, her gaze hardened as she looked down at her feet.
"What are you talking about?" Momo looked confused. "You…"
"While I was planning the strategy for my team I specifically ordered them that I will be the one to fight you." The orange haired girl revealed, causing Momo to widen her eyes slightly. "Even though we won, I've been thinking back on it and realized that we only just won by pure luck." she said before taking a deep breath.
"Kendo," Momo was surprised by this.
"I was too focused on my personal feelings that I didn't see the big picture." she explained as her hands balled into fists. "I told you before our match started that I can't just stand being compared to you. You were the one that had the better grades and the better Quirk. I felt so… jealous." she said. "You were so amazing and there I was letting my own feelings get the best of me." her eyes then narrowed as her expression turned into one of sadness before putting on a smile. "But know this, I'll be improving now and the next time when we have our joint training session and this time, I'll win alongside my time." She said with a determined look.
Momo is initially shocked by this before smiling at the class president before chuckling, causing the Itsuka to look confused.
"Huh? What's so funny?" Kendo raised a brow.
"I promise nothing at all," Momo waved. "It's just that you actually thought you were amazing during the Joint match, Kendo.
Kendo gasped in shock upon hearing this.
"You should give yourself more credit," Momo smiled. "Your hand to hand combat skills with your Quirk kept me on edge. It was there that I was forced to use my super move." she said before looking a bit nervous.
"On another note, I was hoping that by chance I can ask you for a favor." She asked.
"A favor? What kind?" Kendo asked.
"Well while my Quirk does help me with creating weapons for combat, that doesn't mean I'll be skilled in using them properly?" Momo explained.
Kendo's eyes widened, figuring out what the class representative of Class A was asking her.
"Is it possible you can give me a few tips on martial arts? That really would be helpful." Momo said as she placed a hand on her own cheek.
Kendo blinked before smiling. "I would be happy to help." She nodded.
"And if you want I can also help you with your grades with a few tutor sessions at my place if you like." Momo smiled.
"What? You would really do that?" Kendo looked shocked.
Momo nodded.
"I don't know what to say, Yaoyorozu." Itsuka said after a few moments of silence.
"Think nothing of it." Momo waved off. "Whether we're from different classes or not. It's our duty as students who are training to become future heroes to help those in need, but more than that, I want to help you as a friend." She said as she gave her hand to shake.
Itsuka stared at the hand for a few seconds before looking at the class representative who was still smiling, causing her to still smile as well and thus return the handshake.
"Sure," Kendo replied. "But to repeat my previous statement I won't lose to you." she declared.
"And like I said before I accept your challenge with all my heart and soul." Momo replied.
Many students throughout both Class A and B many people conversed about various topics ranging from the joint training match to other random topics. Kojiro Bondo asked Sato if he could perhaps give him the recipe for his tasty chiffon cake while other students like Manga and Nirengeki praised Izuku for his performance during the last battle of the Joint Training session.
"That was so cool, dude!" Manga exclaimed. "You were all "Whoosh" and "Bam!" and "Ka-Blam!" and "SM-Maaasshhh!"." He cheered while his speech bubble had exclamation points on while using his hands to motion the sound effects he created. "I swear I felt my heart go "Wham!", if you know what I mean." he said.
[Name: Manga Fukidashi. Hero Name: Comicman. Quirk: Comic. He is capable of materializing words in midair through his speech bubble by speaking them. These words are also capable of manifesting the effects of the phenomenon that the sound suggests.]
Izuku laughed nervously as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks Manga, but I'm sure that you and your classmates performed even better than I have." he said.
The two boys of Class 1-B shook their heads, disagreeing with his statement.
"You should give yourself more credit," Nirengeki said, smiling. "Your skills were more impressive than usual. You really have improved since the Sports Festival. By the way," His face then turned to confusion. "That's a weird ability you displayed back in Joint Training, no offense."
[Name: Nirengeki Shoda. Hero Name: Mines. Quirk: Twin Impact. He is capable of creating a second impact after striking a target. The second impact is several times stronger than the initial blow.]
Izuku knew that he was referring to Blackwhip appearing and going out of control for the first time causing him to laugh nervously as he attempted to wave it off.
"Yeah, I know right, it was totally unexpected even for me." the green haired boy replied with a forced smile.
The short chubby boy stared for a moment until deciding not to push it any further.
"Well, I suppose yeah," Nirengeki said before smiling. "In any case, are you looking forward to this trip?"
Izuku's eyes brightened at the subject of the conversation being changed to a topic that he's very much interested in. "Yeah, more than you know." He nodded. "I have heard about all the Pro Heros in America and seen many videos of them on the internet. They're really cool, not to mention I can't wait to see the kind of students we'll be staying with!" Izuku exclaimed as his eyes sparkled with stars.
Both Manga and Nirengeki laughed heartily at hearing that. During the time their classes got to get together, they all got to know how the green haired boy was always an all-time hero otaku.
"You really are a huge hero fanboy as they say." Manga chuckled as he tried to stifle his laughter.
Izuku laughed while blushing as he scratched his hair in embarrassment. "Yeah, I really admire heroes a lot." he laughed as he sweated dramatically.
The scene of the conversation then got shifted to a certain explosion boy with a couple of other people. Why did he join in, you ask? Well, that's not for you to know.
"Bet things must be going smoothly in Class for you guys, huh?" Sero asked with his usual smile. "I mean most of my friends and I aren't doing so well in class, so yeah?"
"It's going quite well for us, thank you for your concern," Jurato said as he pushed his glasses up his nose. "Though we're yet to make proper progress."
[Name: Jurota Shishida. Hero Name: Gevaudan. Quirk: Beast. He is capable of transforming himself into a giant beast-man. In this monster form, This state dramatically increases his strength, speed, and durability as well as his senses of hearing and smell.]
"Ha, it sucks to be youthen." Katsuki laughs, harshly. "Just goes to show that you Class B losers don't have what it takes to step up against me." he said while pointing a thumb at himself while he exploded into laughter.
"Dude, give it a break will ya?" Sero said, giving the ashy blonde boy a frowned look.
"Is he always like this?" Yosetsu asked with furrowed brows.
[Name: Yosetsu Awase. Hero Name: Welder. Quirk: Weld. He is capable of fusing objects together at the atomic level by touching both objects in order to fuse them. This is effective for both organic as well as inorganic material.]
"You will be surprised to know that this is him when he's in a good mood." Denki jokes with a chuckle.
"SHUT UP OR DIE, DOLT BRAIN!" Katsuki glares fiercely at Kaminari causing the blonde boy to yelp in fright.
"Well, you're as friendly as ever," Hiryu groaned in exasperation. "Just try not to make us look bad in front of the American Hero students. They'll probably think low of us with the behaviour you have."
[Name: Hiryu Rin. Hero Name: Dragon Shroud. Quirk: Scales. He is capable of sprouting strong, durable scales on his skin that protect him like armour; he can also shoot these scales with considerable strength and speed.]
Katsuki was about to yell at Hiryu until he had a thoughtful look on. "Many strong students of S.H.I.E.L.D Academy are going to be there when we arrive," he said, mostly to himself before showing his confident smirk once again. "I'll show those chumps at that Hero Course just how capable I am, then they'll know who's the best, just another stepping stone in my way of becoming the Number one Hero." The boy said with an evil grin.
"Dude! Did you hit your head or something?!" Juzo exclaimed in disbelief. "These are students with Hero Courses that are put through rigorous training and more. Not to mention that their training methods are vastly different from the Hero schools here in Japan." He explained.
[Name: Juzo Honenuki. Hero Name: Mudman. Quirk: Softening. He is capable of softening any non-living thing he touches, like the ground into quicksand, thus hindering movements and mobility. If he touches the object again, he can undo the effect. He is also capable of swimming through the softened material.]
"Wait, you're serious, Honenuki-san?" Izuku chimed in, who happened to overhear the Class 1-B student talk about the Academy that they will be staying in.
Juzo turned and nodded, ignoring Katsuki's angry yelling. "That's right. Their school has consistently produced some of the strongest heroes America has ever seen for over twenty years." he explained. "Unlike the Hero students in Japan that have three years of studies. The ones in America have four, it's also a national requirement that students take their provisional license exams after three semesters of study and no earlier."
Izuku's eyes widened slightly at this revelation. In U.A., students have to reach their second year in order to attend the provisional license exams; to know that students at S.H.I.E.L.D Academy have to take their exams in their final year was a kind of a shock for him.
"They have to study for four years," Izuku noted. "And they can only take their Provisional Hero License Exam once they have completed their third year of studies?"
"Exactly," Juzo nodded. "It's also worth noting that in order for students to get admitted at S.H.I.E.L.D, candidates will be tested on various specific fields such as speed, power, decision-making skills, cooperation, etcetera. Over a thousand candidates are tested and among them only less than fifty percent are admitted." he revealed.
The guys who heard this had looks of disbelief on their faces at what the Softening Hero-in-training revealed. The fact that S.H.I.E.L.D Academy let's thousand candidates attend the exam and the fact that less than fifty percent are only permitted to enter.
"Seriously?!" Denki exclaimed in disbelief.
"You're kidding!" Yosetsu said, incredulously.
"That must be one tough exam." Hiryu paled upon hearing this.
Izuku's eyes widened in shock and consciously had to keep himself steady from staggering in his steps as his sharp mind processed the information that he was told.
"Whoa," Izuku finally said after a few seconds of silence. "That's… incredible. That such an exam will have that much of a percent rate in order to grant entry."
"If you guys think that's surprising you will be shocked to know there's more to it than that," Juzo continued, causing Izuku and the boys to then listen intently. "Apparently, less than ten percent of students don't make it to the Hero Course."
That one sentence, that one description was enough to shock them all. The fact that not many are capable of entering the Hero Course of S.H.I.E.L.D Academy spoke volumes on the type of difficulty level that Hero School had and the type of attributes that they expect from candidates when selecting their students.
"Damn Juzo," Sen said with a shocked look. "How the hell do you know all this?!" He looked at his classmate in bewilderment.
[Name: Sen Kaibara. Hero Name: Spiral. Quirk: Gyrate. He is capable of making any part of his body rotate at high speeds like a drill. Through this, he can enhance his hand-to-hand combat skills by using the heavy rotation to augment his physical strikes.]
"Some of the third year students told me about it," Juzo explained. "I was hanging out with some of my friends when they told me what the type of school we're going to is like.
"Whoa, S.H.I.E.L.D Academy sure doesn't mess around," Izuku thought as he began to sweat a bit. "Before we left for the dorms, Mr. Aizawa said that during our time with the students of the Academy we'll be training alongside them to better our Quirks and skills. With the added increase in Villain Activity it does make sense with the type of measures the school is taking to prepare us all. And I'm kinda interested to see the types of skills they all possess." he thought with interest.
"Hellllooooo, everybody!" a chirpy feminine voice caught everyone's attention, though causing Izuku, Ochaco and Tenya to freeze up as they recognized that voice and hoped it's not who they think it is.
Upon everyone turning around, they grimace when they recognize the curly salmon pink hair and goggles who just so happened to be the student of the Support Course that they're all familiar with, Mei Hatsume. She was wearing her usual attire, she wasn't wearing her black jacket on her waist and is now wearing it.
[Name: Mei Hatsume. Quirk: Zoom. She can make her vision zoom in on whatever is in her line of sight. If she really focuses, she can see things as far as five kilometers.]
"Mei Hatsume?!" Izuku exclaimed in shock at seeing the eccentric support student. "What are you doing here?!"
"I'm coming along with you and everyone for the trip, silly!" Mei replied, cheerfully while the rest of the students, especially Ochaco and Tenya grimaced upon hearing the news. While the other students haven't met or interacted with Hatsume they know they are already wary of her due to her infamous reputation. Also most of them who didn't meet her in person were already aware about the kind of person she is after their experience with the "Pirate Panic" toy she created.
"You're coming along with us?" Kendo asked out of curiosity. "I don't wish to be rude, but how come? And why only you and not the rest of the support class students?"
Upon hearing this, Mei instinctively ran toward Itsuka until she was waaaaay too close to her face, causing Itsuka to wince at the assertive attitude of this girl.
"Why I'm glad you asked," Mei said. "You see with America, mostly New York, have built some of the finest technology and support items and I was wondering if by any chance that maybe if I showcase my beloved babies to some of the top producers they may be interested in reproducing them throughout the country for Pro Heroes to use. Now wouldn't that be fun."
"Uhhh… yeah." Kendo said, awkwardly as she tried to back away only for Mei to continue to move forward towards her.
"Wait. Did she bring actual babies for the trip?" Reiko asked in confusion.
[Name: Reiko Yanagi. Hero Name: Emily. Quirk: Poltergeist. She's capable of telekinetically moving around objects that are the weight of the average human.]
"N-Not exactly, that's what she calls the support items she builds." Ochaco sweatdropped as she wasn't exactly quite used to Mei's eccentricities, especially when she's around Deku.
"I see." Reiko nodded.
"Mmm." Yui simply hummed.
[Name: Yui Kodai. Hero Name: Rule. Quirk: Size. She is capable of altering the size of non-living objects that she has interacted with by touching the object with all of her finger tips.]
"By the way, I saw you perform at the U.A. Sports festival!" Mei chirped. "You're really strong with that Quirk, you must really have some strong muscles, Itsuka Kendo ."
"Uh… I… Uh," Kendo blushed in slight embarrassment as she couldn't say a sentence as before she could. Mei started feeling her right arm muscles, much to her discomfort.
"Wow, those really are some strong muscles." Mei gazed in amazement as she continued to feel the class president's muscles.
"Whoa, she really is as crazy as they say, if not even more." Sen said as he watched the display with wide stunned eyes.
Kosei turned away blushing while covering his mouth with his hands as he did not trust himself from watching this
All of them were getting a bit uncomfortable while watching this unfold, especially Izuku who was about to step in and stop this.
"Hello students." A voice boomed.
All of them turned to see Mr. Aizawa, All Might in a black suit and Sekijiro Kan, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B, otherwise known as the Blood Hero: Vlad King.
[Name: Sekijiro Kan. Hero Name: Vlad King. Quirk: Blood Control. He can freely manipulate his own blood once it has left his body. He can even solidify the blood.]
"ABOUT FUCKING TIME! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU FUCKING BEEN?!"
"Kacchan!" Izuku cried out in dismay.
Everyone winced at the tone and volume Bakugo was using. Shota glared at his foul-mouthed student while Vlad raised a brow and All Might simply sweatdropped at the ashy blonde's aggressive behaviour.
"Some things never change." The former No. 1 hero thought.
"Bakugo! Have you not the slight manners?! We must always respect our teachers!" Tenya informed him while chopping the air.
"Such foul profanities." Ibara frowned before closing her eyes and putting her hands together. "I shall pray to the Almighty that you be forgiven for such words and one day that you'll blossom into a true hero." She said, solemnly.
Katsuki's eyebrow twitched at that before turning. "I don't need any prayer! I'm already the best! I'll become the No.1 hero and you losers can bet your fucking lives on it!" he barked.
"Geez, even Togaru has a cooler head than him," Kosei said, tilting his head. "And here I thought we had the most hot-headed classmate."
The mantis looking student shot a glare at the brunette. "What the hell is that supposed to mean, Tsuburaba?!" he yelled.
"Whoa! Calm down, man!" Kosei raised his hands in defense. "I meant it as a compliment, honest!"
"Didn't sound like one to me!" Togaru hissed, causing people around them to wince at the breakdown of another heated argument.
"That's enough." The cold voice of Shota Aizawa caused all the students to tense up and stop their chatter immediately as the teacher stared at all of them fiercely as his eyes glowed scarlet. "Any more nonsensical chatter and I'll ask Nezu to cancel the trip as a whole." he threatened, causing all the students to tense up more at the tone the Eraser Hero is using. "So you kids all better be on your best behaviour." he warned, causing them all to nod tensely.
Satisfied, he stopped using his Quirk causing his hair to fall down and let out a tired sigh as he nodded. "That's all. Now then, all of you will now enter busses of your respective classes. Mei Hatsume since you're the only student from the Support Course that will be joining us. You'll be sitting with Class A." He said, bluntly.
Hearing this, Class A, especially Izuku, Ochaco and Tenya grimaced at being stuck with the eccentric support while some of Class B sighed in relief on hearing that they won't be ones that are stuck with them.
Mei doesn't seem to notice any of their reactions, though.
"Alright! Let's get to it!" The support girl cheered and just like that without any further ado, they all stepped on the bus along with their respected teachers and within a matter of seconds they were on their way to the Tokyo International Airport. All the while, Izuku watches through the window as U.A. High School as they lost sight of the school.
"Well it has happened, we have left U.A.," Izuku thought as the prestigiou school finally became out of sight. "I won't misuse this opportunity. I'll do my best to train alongside some of the upcoming future heroes of America."
"Deku?"
"Huh?" Izuku turned to see his best friend, Ochaco who was sitting next to him, looking at him in concern. "U-Uraraka?"
"Is everything okay, Deku?" Ochaco asked.
"H-Huh? O-Oh ye-yeah, I-I'm fine!" Izuku rambled as usual causing Ochaco to giggle at how he can be so adorable as a dork.
"Just thinking how our time in America is going to be," he said, causing the gravity girl to look at the One For All wielder with wide eyes. "The school is taking drastic measures to train us into becoming the next generation of heroes due to the added increase in villain activity. They expect us all to be prepared for anything, so they temporarily enrolled us into S.H.I.E.L.D Academy as our stay while we attend the Tech Expo as our main outing of the trip." he explained.
"So that's why I'll give it my all," Izuku said with a smile and determination burning in his eyes. "I will become a great hero and for that I'll continue to get stronger during our time training in S.H.I.E.L.D Academy!" he promised.
Ochaco couldn't help but smile brightly at the boy's declaration. It was one of the many reasons she and mostly everyone in their Class has come to admire him. She felt like it was only yesterday when he couldn't control the sheer power of his Quirk damaging his body and after a few weeks of training he has now become one of the best and strongest in their Class, next to Todoroki and Bakugo. It was also one of the many reasons that made her fall in lo-
"Wait!" Ochaco's face brightened red and seat began dropping from her temple. "No! No! No! Stop thinking about that! You have other important things to worry about!" She shook her head rapidly which gained the attention of Izuku.
"Uraraka, your face is red; are you ill?" Izuku asked with concern on his face.
"No, no, no! Not at all! I'm fine, Deku! Honest!" Ochaco said, immediately as she waved away a hand rapidly while also trying to stop the red colour that's enveloping her face.
The green boy blinked before tilting his head. "Oh, if you say so," he said, plainly.
Unbeknownst to them, Mina and Toru giggled in delight at the slight romantic display that they all saw.
The bus ride to the airport was uneventful to say the least, aside from some casual conversation and friendly chatter, nothing else happened.
In a matter of half hour, they reached the Tokyo International Airport, from where they grabbed their luggage, suitcases, backpacks and whatever belongings they all had.
From there, they entered the airport which was filled with lots of people, businessmen, workers and families alike. They all had their baggage checked and their passports on hand to show. Aside from Sero keeping Mineta on a tape wrap from staring at the ladies, Bakugo threatened to blow up a guy from a bulky guy bumping him that nearly got them kicked out from the airport until promised by Aizawa to keep the blonde boy under control.
"Remember to behave yourself, Bakugo." Aizawa said in annoyance with slightly gritted teeth. "Otherwise, I'll be forced to send you home."
Bakugo scoffed but said nothing and from there the rest of the group followed their teachers while making some small conversations from time to time.
It took a long while, but they were finally able to enter the plane after following the rest of the passengers and showing their passports.
"Please remember to fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to take off! We also ask you to kindly switch off all cellular devices such phones, laptops and tablets. Thank you for your cooperation." The air hostess spoke through the intercom which caught the attention of two class presidents of both classes to get to work and get their fellow classmates to do as the air hostess said.
"Everyone, listen up!" Tenya spoke while chopping the air with his right hand. "Focus on placing all your luggage in the cabin compartment and remember to shut down all electronics for the remainder of the flight!" he informed them.
"That's right!" Itsuka then took over. "And if you see any of your fellow classmates having difficulty, focus on arranging your belongings first before helping them!"
"YOU GOT IT, KENDO!" Tetsutetsu yelled, causing everyone to wince, including a few passengers to wince.
"Hey, wait a minute," a random man in a business suit said. "Are those kids from U.A.?" he wondered aloud.
"What? U.A.? The U.A.?" A woman wondered in awe.
And with that, many people, adults and children alike began to swarm the students asking them questions or asking them for autographs with some of the students having various reactions some like Izuku and Kinoko looked nervous at the huge amount of attention, some were welcoming to it and some like Katsuki and Togaru were getting annoyed by these assholes trying to pester them, the blonde boy who was ready to use his Quirk to yell at them to back off.
"All right, that's enough." Aizawa said in a firm voice, trying to get the crowd away from the students with Vlad's assistance, though to no avail.
"Hey everyone." All Might then spoke. "I'm HERE!" he shouted his usual catchphrase while also coughing blood.
Everyone turned to look to see the malnourished skeletal man; it was silent for a moment until they burst into cheers, instantly forgetting about the students and ran towards the former No. 1 Hero.
"Wow! I never imagined I would be meeting you All Might!"
"Can you give me an autograph! Can I get one for my daughter! She's a huge fan of yours!"
"Man, you're so awesome, All Might! I swear when I'm older I'll be a great hero just like you!"
"Now, now, settle down." All Might gently told them as he held him up in defense in case they ran over him. "Be patient, I'll sign autographs for all of you." he said while giving a thumbs up to Izuku, who sighed in relief, and many others who also shared his sentiment, who didn't want to be bothered right now.
Kendo then clapped her hands together, grabbing their attention.
"All right, everyone! Let's not forget. We're on a schedule here. Have all your bags safely on top now." she ordered to which they all implied and soon started putting whatever baggage they had left with them in the cabin compartment. Those who were done with it, sat at their respective seats and waited for their classmates to finish and wait for the plane to take off.
"Phew," Tokage sighed as she sat in her respected seat. "Finally, after all that I'm glad we will be taking off soon."
[Name: Setsuna Tokage. Hero Name: Lizardy. Quirk: Lizard Tail Splitter. She is capable of splitting her body into as many as fifty pieces. Each and every part of these pieces can levitate and move freely through the air. These detached body parts are also capable of regenerating even if they are destroyed or otherwise unusable.]
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Kinoko sat with Tokage once she was done placing all her stuff in the cabin compartment.
"Hey Pony!" Tokage called out to her classmate who was sitting in the seat behind her. "You were born from New York weren't ya? What's it like over that?" the grenette asked the foreign exchange student.
"It's a really cool place, Tokage!" Pony cheered happily in her seat as she was happy at the thought of getting the chance to see her home again; as much as she liked Japan and its culture. America is still her home and that's not going to change.
"Since you guys showed me a lot of Japan's awesome culture. I'll show you all of New York. I can assure you all it'll be amazing." she said while showing a peace sign at them as she learned in her time in Japan.
"Looking forward to it." Tokage grinned while giving a thumbs up.
"Yeah, I just know it will be shrool." Kinoko smiled while also looking back.
A bit up front, Minoru struggled to put his baggage in the cabin compartment.
"Damn, my short size!" The small pervert internally cursed. "My character design won't let me do this."
Just then, a hairy hand grabbed a hold of the bag causing him to look and saw it was Jurota. "Want a little help, Mineta?" he asked, respectively.
"Uh… Sure. Thanks, Shishida." Minoru replied with a smile and a nod.
"Man, isn't it manly that we get to train with some of the strongest students in America, Bakugo?" Eijiro grinned at the ashy blonde explosive who growled at the sturdy hero's sentence.
"Say that again, Shitty hair!" Katsuki yelled. "Just you watch! I'll show those punks at the big apple who's the best. It's gonna be me! You can bet your money and life on it!"
"You really don't give it a break, do you?" Denki sweatdropped at his classmate's arrogant behaviour.
"I SAID SHUT UP, ELECTRO DOLT!" Katsuki growled while releasing some small explosions from his palms causing the Stun Gun Hero to once yelp in absolute fright and whimper at the ferocity and deadly aura Katsuki was emitting.
Meanwhile, Izuku looked through his window seat as he spied several other planes next to the one he and his classmates were in. To say that he wasn't ecstatic would do no justice. Seeing how excited everyone is for this trip made him remember that while they will be there for training, they will also be there to spend time together and have fun. The thought of spending time with his friends for half a month caused him to get excited for this trip now. Sure, he has been on planes before to visit I-Island, but never to visit another country!
"This is going to be so awesome!" Izuku thought, his smile widening.
"Looks like you're also getting excited, huh, Deku?"
Izuku turned to meet Ochaco and smiled. "You know it, Uraraka. How about you? Are you ready to spend half a month outside of Japan?"
Ochaco grinned widely. "Of course I am! I'm pumped!" Ochaco exclaimed while raising her fist in the air before looking down a little, her voice now getting a bit softer. "Though now that I think about it, I don't exactly remember the last time I've been on a field trip like this, let alone one where I'm going to America of all places." she admitted. "Due to the kind of household that we lived in, my family couldn't afford going anywhere for extended periods of time." she said before smiling cheerfully. "That's why I'm going to have fun and cherish every moment I have with my friends!"
Izuku smiled, nodding. "Yeah! Me too!"
After everyone was done putting away their baggage, all the U.A. students sat in their respective seats, fastened their seat belts and waited for the plane to take off while some of them like Izuku decided to take time to send text messages of goodbye to their parents or guardians and tell them that they're safe, so they don't need to worry about them.
After a couple of minutes, the pilot finally got on the intercom. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Here to inform that we'll now be taking off. So hopefully you've fastened your seatbelts, if not then please do, also smoking and usage of Quirks is not allowed on the flight. Thank you for your cooperation." He said before cutting off the feed.
"It's about damn time." Katsuki muttered in his usual tone.
And just like that, the plane began to move and after a couple of seconds it rose to the air. All the students cheered that they're now finally on their way to New York, all the while Toshinori couldn't help but smile at their cheerful behaviour.
He then looked out the window as the plane began to move higher and higher above the ground until he could see the airport and buildings the size of ants.
As he watched all this, thoughts off his old friend began emerging in his head as he took his eyes off the window and then leaned back to his seat.
"What are you working on now, Hank?" Toshinori thought as he closed his eyes.
This is gonna be a long flight.
Meanwhile in New York:
"Ok, understood. I'll make the preparations at once." A man who was in his mid-forties said in a gruff voice as he spoke on the phone. "Yes, I assure you that everything will be in order." he said and with that he cut the call and placed his phone back in his pocket.
The man in question was Henry "Hank" Pym, one of the smartest men in the world and a world renowned scientist who made some of the best support items that the world has ever seen that have helped some of the strongest heroes that the world has given birth to.
There was once a time that Hank himself was a Pro Hero who used combined Quirk and Intelligence to save many lives. But one event caused everything to change for him, that stopped him from doing Hero work completely and cut all his ties to his friends, even his team. Distancing himself from the people he considered close; from there he began to develop episodes of brooding so much that he turned into a senile man and short tempered man, so much to the point of showing extreme points of rage and lashing out at orders. Now he currently produces support items that would help benefit Heroes in their work, but it didn't seem to satisfy him as he didn't believe that no matter how many lives heroes save there will always be destruction or people losing their loved ones through villain attacks or natural disasters that still take away innocent lives, leaving the ones who were alive to mourn their loss.
"Sir."
A voice cut him from his thoughts causing him to look up from his desk to see his secretary who was holding her tablet.
"What is it, Laura?" Hank asked in his ruff tone.
"Sir, it's your daughter, Hope. She wishes to see you." His secretary, Laura informed him, to which the man frowned in response.
"Anything else of late?" He pressed.
"Nothing at all, sir." Laura concluded.
"Then tell my daughter to leave." Hank said, almost immediately. "I'll be working late and will be arriving home late tonight so she doesn't have to wait for me. I still have to do some last minute touches on the special project that I will be introducing to the Tech Expo soon."
Laura then had a look of concern. "Sir, you haven't spent any time with your daughter at all. Your work may be important but so is spending time with your family." she told him.
Hank frowned at that statement. Who does she think she is? Talking to him about managing a family.
"I believe it will do you good if you take a break from your project and spend some time with Hope. She's just a sixteen year old girl. So she should be needing…
"Get out." Hank muttered in a quiet tone, cutting her off.
"Sir?" Laura voiced.
"GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE! NOW!" Hank yelled in rage as he shot up from his seat causing the secretary to yelp in fright before running away, not wanting to receive her boss's wrath.
Once Laura left, Hank then took many deep breaths to calm himself down. He then gazed out at the wall window showing the sight of New York before him. Hank walked over to have a better look at the view.
To an ordinary person, it was a nice and beautiful view making them sit down in peace. But to Hank, it may seem in peace but not actual peace.
He's been working on this project for days and nights that he neglected to return to his home a few times after hearing that Toshinori, the so-called Symbol of Peace, has now retired. He believed it would all be worth it to make a better world. One where no one has to suffer loss ever again.
He then took his phone and gazed at the screen, showing a picture of a younger self of him and wife smiling together while holding their daughter as an infant.
"Just you wait, Janet. Soon no one will experience the same loss we had." he said in a soft tone.
A/N: Annnd done, and just like that our favorite Pro Heroes have left for New York for the trip and they will be training with none other than S.H.I.E.L.D themselves! Since in this story S.H.I.E.L.D is a school, I'll be putting some Marvel heroes as the students and teachers. Which ones do you ask? Well, that's for y'all to see in the next chapter. Once again, thank you for your support. The number of followers this story received was beyond that of my first story so that's an improvement. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon and so you all better be prepared for what comes next.
Until then, SMOKE BOMB!
