Heyo, my fellow readers! As you can see, this is an interlude chapter (obviously). This took me 3 days to finish.
I'm just gonna say that I loved the first episode of Loki so far. I actually cried when [SPOILERS!] 2012 Loki saw how his future would have played if he hadn't escape. I'm also quite surprised that he knew there were two Tony Starks because of the Axe Body Spray lol. I didn't think that joke would actually be in the show.
I hope you guys enjoy this brief chapter.
As the audience exited the theater room, they noticed some changes outside such an Iron Man sofa, mugs, and consoles. The Game Room, the Museum, the Hall of Fame, the Danger Room, the Prize Room, the Apocalyptic Workshop, and the Doomsday Bar were opened in a dramatic way.
"Whoa! There are some major upgrades here!" Kirishima said.
"The theater will often have an additional asset whenever you watched the stories." Kiddo replied.
"How? Weren't you with us the entire time?" Ashido questioned.
"I had help from a couple of friends," Kiddo answered. "Forget about that! Let's have a tour, shall we?
Museum
Once they entered the Museum, they saw three Iron Man statues (Mark I, II, and III) displayed in the glass while the end credits music was playing on the speaker. There were also five monitors that recorded the memorable scenes such as the The Jericho Missile Showcase, The Cave Battle, The Mark II Test Flight, The Gulmira Fight, and The Iron Man vs. Iron Monger Fight.
"That's so SICK!!!" Kaminari complimented.
"Bro, I'll never forget when he exploded the tank with a small missile!" Kirishima said.
"That's boring! The Flight Test was more badass!" Hatsume disagreed.
"I agree with her. It reminded me of Hawks." Tokoyami agreed with the maniac inventor.
"You guys are assholes! The Jericho Missile was more AWESOME!!!" Bakugo stated.
"Let's agree to disagree." Kaminari said.
"So this room is specifically made for Iron Man?" Thirteen questioned.
Kiddo nodded, "That's right. This will updated once you watched more of his stories and all the other MCU heroes."
"So there'll be more!? Cool!" Midoriya said.
In the right side, the original and the new arc reactors were displayed in a case. Hatsume attempted to grab one but she was electrocuted upon doing so.
"Oh right, if you try to steal them then they'll electrocute you so bare that in mind." Kiddo warned which slightly scared everyone as they are carefully trying not to touch anything.
The villains weren't interested of this room, but some agreed it was a cool while Shigaraki tried to destroy all the Iron Man suits with his Quirk but his Quirk was nullified and his arms were electrocuted as everyone chuckled at him.
"Be quiet! All of you!" Shigaraki ordered.
"What a loser leader!" Bakugo mocked as Shigaraki run towards him but All For One stopped him.
"Sensei?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Shigaraki. Remember that we're in truce here," All For One reminded. "If you are going to cause havoc, that god will definitely wipe you out of existence. You can't kill the Symbol of Peace if you don't exist."
Shigaraki growled, "Fine."
After the commotion, they headed to the next location which was the Hall of Fame.
Hall of Fame
Once they reached the destined location. They looked at the right wall which was labeled "Heroes and Allies" much to the villains' annoyance.
Tony Stark - The Armored Hero: Iron Man
Pepper Potts - The Gorgeous Assistant
Rhodey - The Patriotic Colonel
Yinsen - The Iron Friend
Some of the audience teared up when they saw Yinsen's portrait. He was a minor character in the story but he was important to Tony Stark's development. If it weren't for his wise words, Stark wouldn't have bothered to create the first ever Iron Man suit. He was a great hero with the heart of an iron.
"So this is a tribute to heroes and their allies?" Midoriya noted.
"That's right," Kiddo answered. "After watching every new movies, we'll be adding portraits of new heroes and their trusted or temporarily allies."
"A respectful decision." Iida said while holding back the tears.
"And who's 'we'?" Mandalay questioned.
"Who knows?" Kiddo vaguely answered.
All Might looked at the long line of portraits of countless individuals that were remained hidden, "There are so many portraits that are shadowed."
"I can't wait to see the other heroes!" Eri said.
"Me too, I guess." Kota slightly agreed.
"This makes me sick." Shigaraki said upon seeing the Iron Man portrait and wanted to disintegrate it for humiliating him throughout the story.
They then looked at the left wall which was labeled "Villains and Allies". The villains were particularly more interested with this area.
Obadiah Stane - The Armored Villain: Iron Monger
Raza Hamidmi Al-Wazar - The Commander of The Ten Rings
The Ten Rings - The Terrorist Organization
"You also pay tribute to the villains?" Midnight questioned.
"Of course. The villains played an important role to the hero's life," Kiddo answered. "If it weren't for Obadiah and Raza then the birth of Iron Man wouldn't have come to existence."
"Fair point." Midnight said.
"I'm honestly grateful that the villains have their own portraits," All For One said. "But they honestly disappoint me so far."
"This is just the beginning, All For One," Kiddo reminded. "As the story progress, there'll be more heroes and villains that may interest you."
"I hope so." All For One replied.
Meanwhile, Midoriya added Raza's full name and his role which confused him. Kiddo told everyone that he was the leader of The Ten Rings but he is labeled as the commander instead. He began to wonder on who's the leader of the terrorist organization.
"All right, on to the next room!" Kiddo said with a loud clap which slightly stung Jiro's earlobes.
"Hey!" Jiro yelled.
"S-Sorry..." Kiddo apologized.
Game Room
The gamers among the audience awed at the room. There were two arcade machines — a FullDive Headsets which is in the right side and the Doomsday Console which is in the left side.
"Holy moly...!" Kaminari said.
"What is this?" Spinner asked.
"This is the Game Room," Kiddo answered. "The games are dedicated to the heroes in the MCU but for now, it's Iron Man. The FullDive Headset, AmuSphere, is for experiencing every heroes' powers like it was your own."
"So we can experience everything like the touch, the smell, the taste?" Melissa questioned.
Kiddo nodded, "Yep, so you can be Iron Man with all your four senses..
"That's an amazing invention." Melissa said in awe.
"Yeah, though my friend is still working on adding missions in the simulation." Kiddo said.
"What about the second one?" Shigaraki questioned.
"That is fighting game created by Netherrealms Studios in another universe." Kiddo answered as he pressed the START button.
A logo of Marvel Studios appeared with the name "MCU: Champions of the Universe" labeled beneath. A character roster then appeared with only two slots of characters which are Iron Man and Iron Monger while the remaining slots were shadowed.
"So it's some sort of a fighting game?" Kirishima questioned.
"Exactly. It's like Mortal Kombat if you guys know that game." Kiddo said as everyone didn't recognized the fighting game and assumed that it was in the Pre-Quirk Era.
"There are only three characters though." Natsuo pointed out when only Tony Stark / Iron Man, Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger, and Raza appeared.
"I know, but it will be constantly updating once we witnessed more stories about the heroes and villains." Kiddo explained.
"Great. We're getting DLC characters." Shigaraki despises DLCs since it costs a lot of money and some aren't even worth buying.
"Don't worry. It's a free DLC," Kiddo reassured. "Okay, let's move to the next location."
Prize Room
Kiddo led them to the prize room where the toys of the Iron Man and Iron Monger were displayed as well as the merchandise of them.
"Well, I wouldn't even bother explaining what this room is," Kiddo chuckled. "This is the Prize Room, of course!"
The audience stared at the toys, plushies, and everything that were shown. The students, Eri, and Kota were the only ones interested. They noticed that there were numbers beneath the items.
"Are these tokens?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Correct," Kiddo replied. "You buy these items with the current tokens you have. How do you get tokens? By playing various mini games that will frequently appear in the theater in the future."
Everyone was excited to buy something in the store but for now, they'll wait.
Kiddo continued touring them around the room, "We've got action figures of both Tony Stark and Iron Man Marks I, III, and III. We've also got action figures for both Obadiah Stane and Iron Monger, Raza, Rhodey, and Pepper Potts.
"So COOL!" Midoriya said as his eyes sparkled.
"We've also got posters, cardboard cutouts, can bottles, notebooks, comic books and..." Kiddo snaps his fingers as two vehicles appeared. "The Iron Man Motorcycle and the Iron Monger Jeep."
The audience were in awe at the sight of the shiny vehicles. They looked at the points and these vehicles were quite expensive which shocked everyone. The Iron Man Motorcycle costs 1,000,000 tokens and the Iron Monger Jeep costs 900,000 tokens.
"I don't think we can afford these bad boys anytime soon." Kirishima said in a weak tone.
"Yeah." Everyone agreed.
"We're not done yet. Follow me," Kiddo said as he lead them to the next area of the Prize Room. "We also got trading cards. But these are special type of trading cards. Let me demonstrate."
Once Kiddo threw an Iron Man card, a realistic hologram of Iron Man emerged from the card which surprised everyone.
"You can use the trading cards to either fight against other people's trading cards or keep them in your pockets if you want sorta like Yugi-Oh," Kiddo explained. "You can upgrade these cards using the Trading Card Upgrade Machine with tokens, but it's incredibly expensive so I recommend you all in not doing it."
"Oh my God! I can't wait to collect them!" Kirishima said with determination,
"Yeah, and let's fight against each other with these cards, Kirishima!" Kaminari said.
Kirishima smirked, "You're on!"
"So far, there are only three characters on the cards but we'll update them once we witness more stories," Kiddo said. "On to the next room."
Danger Room
Kiddo led them in an empty, blue, holographic-like room.
"What is this place?" All Might questioned.
"This is the Danger Room," Kiddo answered. "This is where you guys fight against each other with weapons or Quirks of the heroes and villains. You can also fight against them to improve your fighting styles."
"Then what's the point of the AmuSphere?" Kurogiri questioned.
"That's for experiencing virtually while this room is for physically." Kiddo answered.
"Fight!? Sweet!" Bakugo said.
"Yeah, but this is still under construction," Kiddo said much to Bakugo's disappointment. "I only showed you this room in advance so that it'll excite you all."
"If its ready then I'm going to use it first!" Kirishima said while clenching his fist.
"HELL NO! I'LL BE USING IT FIRST!!!" Bakugo yelled.
"All right, all right. On to the next room." Kiddo said.
Apocalyptic Workshop
Once they arrived in the next location, Hatsume was smiling creepily while Kiddo sighed worriedly.
"This... is the Apocalyptic Workshop," Kiddo introduced as everybody were confused with the name. "I called it that because of a certain crazy person that may destroy my theater intentionally."
"Who?" Hatsume asked as she was shivering in excitement while everyone looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"That'll be you, Hatsume." Power Loader answered but Hatsume pretended she didn't hear her teacher's answer.
"This workshop is specifically for Melissa, Power Loader, and Hatsume," Kiddo said. "You three can work freely here during breaks but mostly to Hatsume so that she doesn't wreak havoc on my theater. You're welcome."
"All right! Time to work on the arc reactor!" Hatsume was about to enter until Kiddo stopped her. "Hey! What is it!? I want to get to work!"
"We're not done yet," Kiddo said. "I still haven't introduce the last room. You can work whatever you are working after this."
"Fine..." Hatsume pouted.
Doomsday Bar
Kiddo led them into the final room which was an evil looking bar. Kurogiri was shivering in excitement as he's a bartender at heart.
"As you can see, this is bar for both heroes and villains," Kiddo said as the heroes were doubting him after seeing the creepy appearance of the bar. "I like these type of rooms. Don't judge me."
"I understand your fetish with darkness. I, too, am intrigued with the design." Tokoyami said which creeped his classmates out.
"Me too. It feels like I'm home." Kuroiro said.
"And that's it for the tour. You guys can do whatever you want know," Kiddo said as he turned his attention to Kurogiri. "Kurogiri, hand me a Delaware Punch please."
"Of course, sir." Kurogiri said.
"That's a thing...?" Midoriya questioned.
"You all can now roam around briefly." Kiddo said.
Game Room
Most of the students were roaming around the theater while others stayed in the Game Room.
Tokoyami was trying out the FullDive game "Iron Man Simulator" and it felt surreal. Eri was excited to try it out after Tokoyami while Mirio is standing beside her. Mirio turned around saw two other idiots playing other games.
Bakugo and Kaminari were playing MCU: Champions of the Universe. Bakugo won five times flawlessly while Kaminari was crying in defeat.
"How are you so good!?" Kaminari questioned.
"I've played arcade games back in middle school!" Bakugo answered. "Of course I would win!"
"It looks like it's my turn." Kirishima said before he burped.
"That stinks...! What did you eat, man?" Kaminari asked.
"Surströmming," Kirishima depressingly answered.
EARLIER
Cafeteria
"Two Surströmming for Tetsutetsu and Kirishima, and one cheeseburger for Amajiki." Lunch Rush said.
Tetsutetsu and Kirishima were hesitating to eat the disgusting food while Amajiki was enjoying the burger which envied them. They reminded themselves that they are a man and must eat the food no matter how disgusting are they.
After the scrumptious meal, Amajiki went to the living room where the students are gathering. Tetsutetsu soon joins him after he held his puke while Kirishima went to the Game Room slowly to avoid puking.
"Please don't remind me." Kirishima shivered in disgust.
Kaminari chuckled, "All right, see you later."
As Kaminari exited the room, Kirishima sat down on the floor and grabbed the second controller.
"I'm gonna kill you just like Pikachu, Hard Boy!" Bakugo stated.
Kirishima grinned, "Whatever you say, Bakubro."
"I'm Iron Man! So you choose the weak asshole!" Bakugo stated as he immediately pressed the Iron Man slot.
"Sure." Kirishima pressed the Iron Monger slot.
After selecting their characters, the map selection appeared. There were two maps available – The Arc Reactor Building, The Afghanistan Desert, and Gulmira Village.
"Three maps huh." Kirishima said as he stared at the third map option with a sad expression.
Bakugo noticed it and scoffed, "Of course we aren't choosing that map! The other two maps are better!"
"Okay," Kirishima smiled. "Which map are we going to play?"
"The first one since you can change stage!" Bakugo answered.
"All right, you ready to be destroyed, Bakubro?" Kirishima questioned.
"HA! YOU WISHED!" Bakugo answered.
Living Room
The rest of the students were hanging around the living room.
"So what did you guys think of the story?" Uraraka questioned.
"It was fun! I'm so excited to see the next one!" Hagakure answered.
"It was certainly an interesting story," Yaoyorozu said. "A Quirkless man, who has the intellect that rivals our principal, created an unlimited energy in a cave with limited tools and an advance armored, flying suit with multiple weapons installed that acts like a Quirk or Quirks. He is certainly an interesting man with unique skills."
"So this is what Kiddo meant when he said that there are ways for the people to have Quirks than manifesting in our bodies naturally, ribbit?" Asui said.
"It's still unbelievable," Kendo said. "I haven't heard of anyone replicated a Quirk, especially in technology, yet Stark was able to do it with his mind. And he's Quirkless!"
"We shouldn't underestimate anyone with an intelligent mind." Amajiki said.
"So a Quirkless person can be a hero," Uraraka said. "I guess the kids in my neighborhood are wrong."
"But it doesn't matter if he is since he has the suit that acts like Quirks," Yaoyorozu said. "Without the suit, he's just a Quirkless man with a genius mind."
"Correct," Jiro agreed. "And let's not forget that he's rich. Most of the people couldn't afford the materials of making an armored suit if they want to."
"You're right." Uraraka said in a sad tone.
"So, guys! What were your favorite moments in the story?" Nejire asked while brushing her hair in an adorable way.
"For me, it was when Iron Man saved those poor people from the terrorists." Tsuburaba said.
"Same!" Awase, Tetsutetsu, and Rin agreed.
"I think my favorite moment was when he tested Mark II's flight for the first time," Sero said. "It actually gave me goosebumps, especially with the flying."
"Agree!" Uraraka, Amajiki, and Tokoyami agreed.
"Mine, it was the climatic battle between Iron Man and Iron Monger!" Sato said.
"Yeah, that was a great fight but unfair for Iron Man." Iida said.
"That's why we are learning to become heroes so we could combat that unfairness," Kendo stated. "We're still young heroes so we still have a lot to learn."
Iida smiled, "You're right. Thanks, Kendo."
"HAHA! YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO OUR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE!?" Monoma started to annoyingly talk. "THE GREAT CLASS LISTENS TO THE SO-CALLED BOTTOM CLASS!? THIS PROVES THAT WE'RE SUP-!!!" He was knocked out with a karate chop in the neck by Kendo.
"Shut up for once, Monoma!" Kendo ordered. "You haven't even talked throughout the movie!"
"Anyway, I can't wait to see more of Iron Man!" Hagakure said.
"Yeah!" Sato said. "I'm excited to see other heroes in that reality."
"To think there are other alternate universes," Shoda said in disbelief. "I still have hard time to believe it."
"Me too," Yaoyorozu agreed. "It shouldn't even be possible yet we have seen an actual god with multiple Quirks and an alternate world where Quirks aren't that common."
"Well, there's always something crazy when you, Class 1-A, are always around," Tetsutetsu stated. "And we're just caught up in the craziness."
"Hey, at least we aren't left behind of an important event this time." Awase said as the students of Class 1-B nodded except for Monoma since he's unconscious.
"So who do you think is the next hero?" Uraraka questioned.
As the students predicts the new stories of MCU, Toga walked passed them with a strawberry drink on her hand. Asui and Uraraka briefly glanced at her direction before continuing to conversation with their classmates.
Cafeteria
Meanwhile, the heroes were having a conversation about their current situation.
"So what do you think?" Thirteen asked.
"Mhm? Well, the story was good," Present Mic answered while drinking his coffee. "It was mind blowing and vastly different than what I expected."
"It was really different but that's not what Thirteen meant, Mic," Aizawa said. "She meant our situation."
"There's not much to say anyway," Nezu said while drinking his tea. "Mr. Kiddo has already told our purpose here, and it's to witness the stories of heroes from another universe."
"But can we trust him?" Aizawa questioned. "And why does he wants us to witness these stories? What is his goal?"
"Yeah, are we just here to witness another reality without any reason?" Midnight questioned. "And if we witnessed them all, he'll just let us go?"
"Trusting him also isn't an issue," Mandalay said. "There's something going behind the scenes like why are we chosen and why did he made Ragdoll an assistant?"
"You're right," Midnight agreed. "We're all came from a world where heroes and villains are common occurrence. I don't see anything that would make that 'god' interested with us."
"As for Ragdoll, I don't know," Pixie-Bob said. "Maybe he took pity on her since she doesn't have any Quirk so he decided to make herself useful by being his assistant?"
A person then entered the cafeteria. It was Ragdoll who was wearing her pajamas instead of her hero costume much to everyone's confusion.
"Well, that may be the reason why he recruited me," Ragdoll said. "But other than thay, he didn't really say anything aside from helping him with the arrangement."
"Uhm... Tomoko. You're wearing pajamas." Tiger pointed out.
"Mhm?" Ragdoll looked down as her face turned red from embarrassment. "I completely forgot to change! I'm sorry!"
"That's okay, but why are you wearing pajamas anyway?" Pixie-Bob asked. "Did you sleep throughout the movie?"
"Uhm... sorta." Ragdoll answered. "Master Kiddo asked me to clean the unlocked rooms. After that, he told me to sleep for the next movie."
"Wait. You exited the room before the movie ended?" Recovery Girl asked.
"Yes, I actually have already seen the movie in advance before you guys," Ragdoll said. "That is why I have been silent throughout the movie aside from helping Master Kiddo."
"I see," Mandalay smirked. "Master Kiddo? Are you becoming a catmaid now to that boy, Tomoko?"
"What an amazing fan service." Pixie-Bob grinned.
"S-SHUT UP!" Ragdoll immediately rushed out of the cafeteria with redden face.
"I think that was a bit too much, ladies." Tiger said.
"Anyway, we shouldn't let our guards up when being around with that boy," Aizawa said as everyone nodded. "He may look nice but looks can be deceiving just like Obadiah.
Doomsday Bar
The villains were hanging out in the bar while Kurogiri was cleaning the used bottles. Shigaraki was scratching his neck aggressively as his hatred for Stark continues to grow; Mr. Compress was practicing a card trick since there's nothing to do and he can't steal since he'll be in trouble; Spinner was thinking about the iron hero; And Dabi was glaring at the Todoroki siblings who are standing in front of the bar
"This is ridiculous!" Shigaraki yelled. "Kurogiri, can't you still use your Quirk!? I want to get the HELL out of here!"
"I'm afraid not, Shigaraki," Kurogiri said as he has been trying to activate his Quirk since the beginning. "We may have to play by Kiddo's rules."
"Is he seriously going to make us watch pointless hero movies!?" Shigaraki questioned. "I would rather die than seeing Stark's face again!"
"Now, now, Tomura. What did I tell you before we came here?" All For One questioned as he walked inside the bar while Shoto Todoroki was in a slight fighting stance. "I told you that we could learn something from these movies."
"Learn!? How the hell can we learn anything from these pointless movies, sensei!?" Shigaraki questioned. "It brought nothing but humiliation!"
"You must be patient, Tomura," All For One whispered. "While we are briefly stuck here, you can obtain information from students and heroes, and exploit their weaknesses."
"Huh?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Master is certainly correct, Shigaraki," Kurogiri said. "During our breaks, we can converse with other heroes and pretend that we're friends since we're in truce. Once we have gained their trust, we can learn their strengths and weaknesses, and use it to our advantage."
"Excellent explanation, Kurogiri," All For One complimented. "I couldn't say it better than myself. Do you now understand what I'm saying, Tomura?"
Shigaraki growled and nodded, "Yes, sensei."
Tokoyami and Kuroiro then walked inside the bar and ordered for a drink while the villains were glaring at the two of them. Dark Shadow was secretly shivering in fear at the presence of All For One which is why he didn't currently appear.
Outside of the bar, the Todoroki siblings were having a chat. Fuyumi and Natsuo were intimidated by All For One while Shoto was in a fighting stance even though he's aware that he doesn't have his Quirk.
"So that's All For One? I've only seen him through the news." Natsuo said.
"He matched All Might's strength and speed," Fuyumi said. "He's like the Anti-All Might."
"But in the end, he was no match for All Might," Shoto said. "Anyway, how are you guys?"
"We're fine, Shoto," Fuyumi reassured. "We quite enjoyed the movie. It was interesting! I must tell my students about Iron Man when we get back."
"It was fun. It was really cool," Natsuo said. "What about you, little bro? Did you enjoy it?"
"A little. He reminded me of Bakugo at first but then he reminded me of me." Shoto said which confused his siblings. "Like Stark, he didn't care about anything and anyone except his weapons just like how I didn't care about anything and anyone except revenge against our father. Then when he was captured, he made a friend and realized his mistakes just like how Midoriya told me that I was making mistake on comparing my other Quirk to with the old man. He changed me and became my friend. In some way, me and Stark can relate to each other."
Fuyumi and Natsuo smiled at their little brother after hearing the explanation. Although Shoto still have a difficult time in accepting his left power, he knew that the Quirk doesn't belong his father but to him.
"Damn, bro. You could make a great teacher!" Fuyumi said as she wiped off a tear.
"I'll become a teacher after I become the Number One Hero." Shoto said straightforwardly.
As the Todoroki siblings continue to chat, Dabi glanced at their direction as some tears came out from his eyes but they were all burnt by his Quirk. He has deep hatred of Shoto and Fuyumi, but he greatly respects and loves his brother, Natsuo, though the brotherly love is a weakness of his revenge.
Apocalyptic Workshop
Hatsume and Melissa were working on the worship while Power Loader was having a meeting with the teachers. They were working on a replica of the Iron Man suit with the exact materials that Stark used like the gold-titanium alloy. But none of them could reverse-engineered the alloy like Stark did.
Melissa convinced Hatsume to work on the suit first since she didn't want to work on the arc reactor immediately because of the impossibility. She doesn't want to spend every breaks on the groundbreaking device.
"I don't think we can make an Iron Man suit, Hatsume," Melissa said. "We have never seen how Mr. Stark was able to change the alloy. The best thing we have to use for the suit is normal iron."
"Bah! Who cares about impossibility!?" Hatsume said as she threw the smashed alloy in the pile. "If Stark can do the impossible then we can do it as well! Together!"
"How can we work together when we had an gadget fight the last time we met?" Melissa questioned.
"Oh come on! We were only testing our inventions against each other's!" Hatsume said as she threw another smashed alloy in the pile.
"And we almost end up killing Midoriya in the process." Melissa reminded.
"Can't remember that part," Hatsume said. "Anyways, where's that green boy? I want that notebook for the suit!"
Melissa sighed, "I have it. He gave it to me before he went somewhere."
Hatsume immediately grabbed it, "Well, better get to work!"
"We are already working." Melissa reminded.
Hatsume laughed, "Of course! Of course!"
Prize Room
Midoriya was staring at the merchandise and action figures of Iron Man and Iron Monger. He wished he has tokens right now to buy them, but it seems he has to wait until the mini games appeared.
"Man, I wish I could buy some!" Midoriya said as he roamed around the room more.
While he was looking at the items, he saw Uraraka standing in front of the two expensive vehicles. He walked up to her while his fingers were shivering from the nervousness.
"U-U-Uraraka? W-W-What are you d-d-doing here...?" Midoriya stutteredwhile his cheeks were red.
"Eek!" Uraraka shrieked as her cheeks turned red as well. "D-D-Deku? W-W-What are y-y-you doing here...?"
"I-I-I was l-l-l-looking at s-s-stuff..." Midoriya answered with a stutter.
"I-Is that s-so?" Uraraka stuttered.
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes. Midoriya then coughed to break the tension.
"Uhm... s-so what ar-are you doing h-here?" Midoriya said with slight confidence.
"Uh... I was l-looking at them." Uraraka pointed at the vehicles. "I'm just wondering that if I had enough money, I could buy my parents a proper car. It's quite tough to go anywhere if you have a vehicle that would break down any moment."
"I see what you mean," Midoriya pitied Uraraka's money situation. "When you become a hero then you can buy anything your parents wanted."
Uraraka smiled, "Thanks, Deku."
Midoriya returned the smile.
'Ah, young love. If only if I ever found someone like her during my time.' The first voice said.
"Huh?" Midoriya questioned.
'WHAT'RE YOU DOIN' KID!? INVITE HER SOMEWHERE!' The fifth voice yelled which made Midoriya jumped.
"Eek! O-Okay..." Midoriya whispered as he wondered who the voices are. "Do... you want to head to the Game Room?"
Uraraka blushed, "S-Sure."
The two then exited the room while Ashido and Hagakure were watching from afar and snapped a photo at the two lovebirds.
"That's a keeper." Hagakure whispered.
"Heck yeah!" Ashido whispered back.
"What are you girls doing, ribbit?" Asui asked which scared the two of them while she was holding the Operation game on her hand. "Are you guys going to join the play?"
"YES!" Hagakure and Ashido answered loudly.
'What are these two up to?' Asui questioned as the three of them went back to the Living Room.
Game Room
Midoriya and Uraraka entered the Game Room where they saw Eri lying down on some kind of bed with the AmuSphere Headset on her head while Mirio guards her.
"Midoriya, Uraraka. Did you came here for the simulation as well?" Mirio asked.
"Yeah, but we can wait," Midoriya smiled. "Is Eri enjoying the simulation?"
Mirio nodded, "If you look at the monitor over there on your left, you can see her perspective and you can hear her scream of joy. She is enjoying the flight but she hasn't use the weapons yet."
"That looks so fun!" Uraraka said. "I hope I don't puke though."
"Uhm... Mirio, where's Kota?" Midoriya questioned.
"I think I saw him on the living room with your classmates so he must be there." Mirio answered.
"Thanks," Midoriya then glanced at Bakugo and Kirishima who were playing the other game. "They're enjoying themselves as well."
"Yes, they are," Mirio laughed. "Bakugo lost to Kirishima every time. So he is currently smashing every button on the controller to win against him."
"Wow, Kacchan was such a good gamer back in middle school," Midoriya said. "I guess Kirishima is better in consoles."
"SHUT UP, NERD! I CAN HEAR YOU!" Bakugo ordered which silenced Midoriya immediately. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU, SPIKY HAIR!"
"We have the same hairstyle!" Kirishima reminded while he calmly presses the buttons. "And I won!"
"DAMN IT!" Bakugo yelled.
"You lose again, Bakubro," Kirishima teased. "Can I play as Iron Man now? Maybe you can win against me as Iron Monger."
"SHUT THE HELL UP! I WANT A REMATCH!" Bakugo demanded.
Kirishima sighed, "That's the 20th time you said it but fine."
As the two dunderheads continue playing the game, it was Uraraka's turn to try the simulation. Mirio and Eri left the room to travel somewhere else while Midoriya stared at the monitor screen to see Uraraka's perspective.
Museum
Meanwhile, the Tsukauchi siblings were roaming around. Makoto was taking pictures of the place while Naomasa was investigating the place for known reasons.
"What are you doing, big brother?" Makoto asked. "Do you have suspicion on Kiddo?"
"I'm just doing what a normal detective do, Makoto," Naomasa answered. "And why are you taking photos of Iron Man?"
"For remembrance of course!" Makoto said. "If Kiddo erases our memories after witnessing all the superhero stories, then I can secretly keep these photos in basement so that I'll remember again."
Naomasa smiled, "I doubt Kiddo would allow that. I'm pretty sure he already knows of your plan."
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try." Makoto said as she took another photo of Iron Man.
Toga walked pass the Museum while glancing at Naomasa and Makoto before she threw the bottle in the air which summoned a portal. Naomasa wished he could arrest all the villains since he is worried of their schemes, but he was grateful that they are forbidden to attack thanks to Kiddo so he doesn't have to worry.
Kota was roaming around the theater with nothing to do. He was getting bored until he saw Ragdoll entering the theater room. He run towards the door and entered as well much to Ragdoll's surprise.
"Kota? What are you doing here?" Ragdoll asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." Kota said.
"Well, I was going to clean the room for the next movie," Ragdoll said. "Do you want to help?"
"Yes," Kota answered. "I'm bored so I can at least help."
Ragdoll and Kota then cleaned the theater room by removing the food stains, puking bags, covering up the scratch marks caused by Shigaraki, and more. Meanwhile, Kiddo watches them in his observation room while holding a portrait of his family both from his worlds.
30 MINUTES LATER
Lobby
All of the characters were transported in the lobby instantly without a warning. Shigaraki and Bakugo fell on the floor while the rest almost slipped.
"What the hell!?" Shigaraki and Bakugo yelled.
"All right, everyone," Kiddo suddenly appeared. "The next story is prepared thanks to Ragdoll and Kota."
"Kota?" Mandalay questioned.
"He voluntarily cleaned up the mess you guys made." Kiddo said which embarrassed some of them. "Anyway, please step inside the room."
"I'm gonna kill you...!" Shigaraki stated but Kiddo ignored him.
"What!? I haven't kill Spiky Hair yet!" Bakugo yelled.
"We can finish it later, Bakubro," Kirishima said. "Let's go."
As everyone entered the theater, they are curious on whose story will they be witnessing next.
NEXT: THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008)
Author's Note:
Phew! That's the first interlude done. I apologize that it's short. As you can see, I borrowed some of Trxiter's ideas such as the arcades and stuff. I didn't bother on making the MHA vs. MCU discussion since that's Trixter's thing in their fanfic and I'm not interested with it, but their opinions about every heroes will be shown in every interludes.
I want you guys to give me a good name for Hulk's Quirk when Present Mic announces him. Although Trixter went with the sentient name since Tokoyami had Dark Shadow which is understandable, I want a good name for his Quirk.
Now, onto to The Incredibe Hulk, the most tragic Marvel hero to ever live. Just to let you guys know, there will be sides during in the next movie.
Did you spot any references? Let me know in the review section.
Stay tune for the next chapter. Babush!
