Hello, fellow readers. It's time for the interlude chapter. I posted it early because of some personal circumstances as usual. After this chapter, Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter will be next. I don't know when I'm going to start working on The Avengers chapters because I'm too focused with The Mischievousness of the Shield Hero (plus, annoying homeworks), so I apologize if it's taking forever to release again.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the brief chapter.

Hall of Fame

As the audience went to the hall of fame, they saw additional portraits on both sides. After admiring the portraits on the hero sides, the teachers went to the cafeteria while Mirio and Eri roamed around in the prize room, admiring the additional action figures and vehicles.

Steve Rogers - The Patriotic Hero: Captain America

Peggy Carter - The Strong-Willed Agent

Bucky Barnes - The Loyal Friend

Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, James Falseworth, Jacques Dernier, and Jim Morita - The Howling Commandos

Chester Phillips - Colonel Phillips

Howard Stark - The Legendary Engineer

Abraham Erskine - The Good Doctor

When they stared at the portrait, they were admiring Captain America once again. The villains were even deeply staring at the portrait as well, compared to other hero portraits. Captain America was very different to other heroes from their universe and the MCU.

"Captain America. The Star-Spangled Man With a Plan. The Symbol of Courage." Natsuo said.

"It really seems Captain America is the actual MCU equivalent of All Might. He's probably the Number One Hero in America if there's a hero grading system like in our world." Melissa said.

"More like the MCU equivalent of damn Deku." Bakugo corrected as the hero's personality and goals were damn too similar to Deku, which the majority of his classmates caught on to.

"I-I appreciate the compliment, Kacchan…" Midoriya didn't deny that he was similar to Captain America, but he isn't nowhere near the level of his second favorite hero yet. He may be more powerful than Captain America, but he doesn't have the will nor the determination. 'I wonder why I'm worthy to lift Mjølnir when Cap is much more worthier than I am.'

When they stared at Peggy's and Bucky's portraits, they were saddened. Peggy was the love of Captain Rogers' life yet they couldn't be together anymore because he's in the modern era while Bucky was his friend who died in a mission to retrieve the head scientist whom they still greatly despised. They wondered whether Captain Rogers should've died back in his time or not, because living without anyone you know and cared about is fate worse than death. All Might understood Captain Rogers' pain of losing someone you loved and admired.

Once they stared at Dr. Erskine's portrait, the majority of them wished that he survived to guide the main hero in the right path but Captain America wouldn't have been the only unique super soldier if he lived. The minority of them, including the villains, were glad that he died because someone would've abused his serum if he continued to produce them like the Red Skull. They agreed that if he were to die, then at least he did the right thing by turning Steve Rogers into a superhero.

When they stared at the 'Villains & Allies' wall section, all of them glared at the villains.

Johann Schmidt - The Nefarious Villain: Red Skull

Arnim Zola - The German Scientist

HYDRA - The Cult Organization

Shigaraki growled, "HYDRA. They're a rip-off of League of Villains. I don't care if they're the first."

"The difference between us and them is that they're disbanded after Captain America and his team of soldiers destroyed their facilities and apprehended or killed the remaining HYDRA soldiers while we're still standing strong after the heroes infiltrated our base." Dabi said.

"You would've been disbanded if it weren't for you Darth Vader wannabe! Y'all p*ssies!" Bakugo insulted the League.

Shigaraki growled and glared at Bakugo, "Don't you dare insult my master!"

"Or what!? Gonna kill me!? Too bad that wanky deity wouldn't allow it!" Bakugo insulted Shigaraki even more, as the villain was going to attack but stopped himself after remembering Kiddo.

"Piss off." Shigaraki then left the hall of fame, followed by his fellow members.

Bakugo scoffed, "He doesn't realize that he and the villains are going to be like HYDRA someday."

"Bakugo, you shouldn't cause a conflict. You wouldn't want to anger Kiddo." Shoto reminded his 'friend'.

"I know, icy hot!" Bakugo then walked away. "I'm going to the Danger Room!"

"But you aren't recovered yet, Bakubro!" Kirishima pointed at his friend's cast on his arm and bandages.

"I can manage!" Bakugo exclaimed before completely disappearing from their sight.

"Well, that happened." Sero stared back at the portraits. "Anyway, do you guys think that Red Skull is dead or alive?"

"I'm not sure, but he's presumably alive. If not, then at least he won't hurt anyone on Earth." Shoji said.

"Yeah, just hope he landed on a deserted planet." Asui agreed.

Museum

In the museum, there was a new section for the patriotic hero. In the middle, there was a statue of Captain America, standing proud and heroic while holding his indestructible shield. The students were in awe upon witnessing the statue of a true hero.

"Amazing. I hope I get to see Captain America. He was different from other heroes from his universe and ours, especially All Might." Kirishima said.

"Me too, but it's impossible to meet him and other heroes unless Kiddo transports us to the MCU." Jiro said.

"I know, just wishful thinking." Kirishima said. "I also want to spar with him. I want to see how strong he is."

"Why don't you head to the Danger Room then? I think I heard that it can contain an infinite amount of people, ribbit." Asui said.

"Mhm… maybe after the next story. I want to try playing new characters in the Game Room after this." Kirishima said.

"He's so cool! Captain America is amazing!" Katsuma was in awe after seeing the statue. "Isn't he awesome, sis?"

"Y-Yeah, I suppose he's awesome…" Maharo agreed reluctantly, as she never admired heroes before.

'He resembles too much of Deku… I love him!' Kota exclaimed mentally while blushing out of embarrassment.

"He's like Deku and Lemillion, doesn't he?" Eri asked Mirio.

Mirio chuckled nervously, "I think he resembles more of Midoriya than me to be honest."

"You're too kind, Mirio. I'm pretty sure that Midoriya will say the same thing as well." Amajiki said.

"I know, but Captain America is… a bit different than me." Mirio said.

'You aren't. You're like him.' Amajiki denied mentally though he kept quiet because Mirio would refute.

In the new hero section, there were newly added objects such as HYDRA Cannons, HYDRA Pistol, and the indestructible Vibranium Shield. The shield was in a bigger display compared to the villain's weapons. Midoriya was staring at the shield with awe and wondered if he could use it, but he's aware that he couldn't since they're in display only.

"Man, that shield is fascinating. It defies the laws of physics which shouldn't be possible." Melissa said.

"Yeah, but it does thanks to vibranium. Kiddo mentioned that vibranium exists in our world, but it has never been discovered." Yaoyorozu said.

"He did mention that future stories will reveal the location of the vibranium. If we know where the vibranium is located, it could honestly change our world." Melissa said.

"I want to wield that shield. I want to see the light yet heavy weight of it. It's so tempting!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed.

"If you want to get zapped, I won't stop you." Kendo teased.

"I said it was tempting. I never said I would actually forcefully break it out." Tetsutetsu pouted, as Kendo snickers.

'That shield is amazing. I want to wield it. I want to know what it's like to be Captain America.' Midoriya said mentally while concentrating on drawing the section.

Uraraka growled, "HYDRA weapons. I don't want to see them again in future stories. They shouldn't exist!"

"Yeah, it disintegrates a person without any trace left behind. The families of the fallen soldiers are unable to retrieve their bodies because they're nonexistent now." Melissa said. "This is a perfect example that most inventions shouldn't exist, Hatsume."

"Eh, they're still impressive babies though I can't deny that they're very bad babies." Hatsume said.

While they're conversing about the weapons, the patriotic theme of Captain America was playing in the hero section. Most of them were dancing to the cheerful beat while Melissa and Tsunotori were laughing at the music.

"This music is really too American. I love it." Tsunotori said.

"You're not the only one." Melissa agreed, as she usually isn't interested in cheesy patriotic songs though she made this one an exception for Captain America.

"I want this on my playlist if I could download the song." Jiro said.

"You aren't the only one." Kaminari agreed.

All of them stared at the five monitors where it showed memorable moments from the story such as "I Can Do This All Day - First Fight", "Military Training", "The Super Soldier Transformation", "Star-Spangled Man With A Plan", "Captain America Brings Back Soldiers", "Bucky's Fall", and "I Had A Date".

After witnessing Steve Rogers' rock hard abs once again, the girls were blushing exponentially while Mineta and Kaminari felt envious. The girls were staring at the abs for three whole minutes before breaking away after Shoto snapped them out of with by snapping his fingers.

"Are you done staring?" Shoto asked curiously.

"Y-Yeah, we're done…!" Hagakure answered.

"Damn, I wish I had those abs." Shishida said. "I bet even All Might wants to have those abs."

"Isn't he muscular in his muscle form?" Shoda questioned.

"Yeah, but he isn't when he's in his true form." Shishida reminded his classmate.

Meanwhile, half of the students were dancing from the Star-Spangled Man With A Plan song. Most of them were laughing at the ridiculousness and campiness of the song, but they loved it. Jiro didn't love the music like her classmates and schoolmates, but she enjoyed the hilarious stage acts.

"Someone should make a cover of this song." Hagakure then slowly stared at Jiro. "Will you, Jiro?"

"If I could memorize the song, I would. But I'm not a big fan of the song so I won't memorize it." Jiro refused to sing the song.

"Then we're going to keep playing over and over again." Ashido teased her friend.

Jiro groaned, "Please don't."

All of them were then saddened when they watched Bucky's death and the story's sad ending again. They couldn't believe that this story was going to hit them with an emotional roller coaster. Most of them thought that they should've seen it coming after remembering the previous story where Loki 'died' after falling from Rainbow Bridge.

"Man, Steve lost everything. He might've won the war, but he couldn't live his happy life with Peggy and Bucky anymore." Tetsutetsu said.

"It isn't fair. He sacrificed everything. He should've at least had an honorable end to him rather than continuously living in a new era." Komori said.

"Yeah, but I don't think fate is done with him yet. The world still needs Captain America." Midoriya said.

Game Room

In the Game Room, the room has been expanded. There were new games added in the room, such as a new arcade game called "Shield the Target", an offense and defense game where participants used the plastic star shields to throw the shield at dummies to gain points and defend themselves from being hit by the dummies' nerf darts.

"You want to see who'll gain more points, Sato?" Shoji asked.

"You're on, Shoji!" Sato answered, as both of them picked both of their plastic star shields.

A new game was added in the AmuSphere called the "Captain America Simulator". Midoriya played the game as he was curious and tempted to become what it's like to become Captain America, which is the first time he tried out the AmuSphere. He was grateful that nobody was trying it out first.

'This is amazing. I forgot what it was like before having One For All.' Midoriya said mentally while throwing the shield, which didn't come back because his trajectory was off, and punching NPCs with his enhanced physiology, which greatly impressed him.

"Deku is cute when he's fanboying his hero." Uraraka whispered to herself.

"Oh? So you do have feelings for him! I was only teasing!" Ashido exclaimed excitedly.

"Gah! No, no, no! You're misunderstanding me!" Uraraka denied her feelings.

"Sure, sure! That's what everyone who's in love says." Ashido teased her friend before running away from the game room.

"Hey! Come back here, Mina!" Uraraka ordered while her cheeks were blushing, as she chased after her friend.

Meanwhile, Kirishima was starting up the game called "MCU: Champions of the Universe" as always. He thought that Tetsutetsu would join him once again, but he wasn't in the game room currently. Suddenly, Bakugo sat down with him with a grumpy expression.

"Bakubro! I thought you were going to the Danger Room." Kirishima said.

Bakugo scoffed, "I was forbidden to enter because I'm still injured from the previous fight. I'll have to wait for a while before I can enter. Damn it!"

"Well, at least it's good to have you back here, Bakubro. Are you excited to lose against me?" Kirishima asked sarcastically.

"Hah! In your dreams, spiky hair!" Bakugo accepted Kirishima's challenge, as he grabbed his controller.

While they're selecting characters, there were additional characters that were added in the game. The characters were Captain America, Red Skull, Peggy Carter, and variations of HYDRA Soldiers.

Bakugo scoffed, "The game really added Peggy Carter. She was impressive, but not that impressive."

"Well, she is a formidable opponent like Black Widow. You shouldn't underestimate them, Bakubro." Kirishima suggested this to his friend.

Bakugo chose Hulk as usual while Kirishima decided to play as Captain America instead of War Machine because he wants to know how Captain America fights even though the character is probably weaker than Hulk. After they chose their characters, the map selection appeared. The additional stages were The Stark EXPO (1940's ver.), Camp, Lehigh, USO Tour Stage, Austrian HYDRA Facility, and The Valkyrie.

"You'll lose, spiky hair!" Bakugo declared, pressing The Valkyrie stage.

"We'll see, Bakubro." Kirishima said.

Prize Room

There were new merchandise added in the prize room, such as action figures of characters in Captain America: The First Avenger, trading cards, water cans, shirts, and toy versions of the vibranium shield and HYDRA weapons (unlikely anyone would buy it). There were also new vehicles called "The Star-Spangled Cycle" and "The HYDRA Tank".

"So coool!" Katsuma was amazed by the merchandise while his eyes were sparkling.

"It is! I wish I had tokens. I want to buy one." Eri said.

"I'm sure Kiddo will add mini-games or something soon, Eri. You'll just have to be patient." Mirio reassured her.

"When are the mini-games going to be available? I want to buy those trading cards already." Kaminari complained.

"Are you really that eager, jammy-yay? Why don't you be patient?" Jiro asked.

Kaminari sighed, "Please don't call me that name, Jiro."

Meanwhile, the students were glaring at the HYDRA Tank. They were tempted to destroy because of bad memories about the cult organization, but they restrained themselves otherwise they would've been in big trouble. The villains restrained themselves though they were impressed that Shigaraki managed to, considering his personality.

A few minutes later, they went to their usual spots. The students went to the living room, except for Tokoyami and Kuoiro, while the villains went to the bar for a meeting, except for Shigaraki.

Living Room

The students gathered in the living room to discuss the story with Midoroya joining them this time because the topic is about Captain America. There are other students who didn't join because they're too busy in the game room or roaming around the theater for reasons.

"So, what did everyone think of the story?" Uraraka asked curiously.

"It was… patriotic, I guess." Yaoyorozu answered. "It was unexpected that the story would be taking place during World War II with a hero during that time. A hero with an artificial Quirk at that."

"I honestly didn't expect that the original super soldier serum was going to be in that story. Perhaps I should've paid attention to The Incredible Hulk. I was too focused on whether Hulk was a villain or a hero." Shoto said.

"I don't blame you. I don't remember much either from that story." Shoji said.

"The story was amazing, mostly because of Steve Rogers. He went from a skinny man who was constantly rejected because of his illness to become a legendary icon of Earth. He had a heart of wanting to help the people and his country. And his illnesses didn't stop him from achieving his goal." Iida said. "He's different from other heroes that we've seen. He's certainly different than all of us. He's one of the kind amongst the heroes who will never exist in our world, except for All Might."

"Yeah, he was the embodiment of what heroes should do. He isn't interested in leisure or fame. He's just interested in helping people no matter the cause. He won't stand on the sidelines, collecting scrap metals when he knows that he will help in the war." Nejire said. "No wonder he's the equivalent of All Might."

"I don't think he's even equivalent to All Might actually. Most villains, specifically Shigaraki, despise All Might for what he stood for yet I didn't hear any single insults from them. They could see that Captain America was vastly different from All Might and any other heroes, ribbit." Asui pointed out.

"That's true. I don't know why they never insulted him." Shinso wondered.

"Because they probably personally understood the reason he became a hero. Like them, Steve was… basically an outcast of society. He was always being bullied because of his illnesses, so they could connect with him. The difference between them and him, however, is that no matter how many times society throws negative things at him, he didn't break nor despise it." Midoriya answered. "He still has goals in his mind which is to save everyone and end the war so that the people can have comfortable lives. He's a unique type of hero that wouldn't be replicated, even All Might wouldn't be able to. That must be why the villains didn't see him in a negative light, compared to other heroes in his world and ours."

The students were silent after hearing the reasons why the villains don't despise Captain America. Most of them realized that becoming a hero is mostly a job for them rather than reasons behind that word. They may be willing to save everyone without any hesitation, but that certainly isn't why they became a hero in the first place. Meanwhile, Shigaraki was listening to brats about Captain America. He was about to walk away until the green-haired brat spoke again.

"The lesson of the story was clearly understandable, such that those who are weak know the true definition of strength." Midoriya said. "Strong and tough men, those the two noble and savage, don't see what strength implies since they have it or consistently have had it. They don't have the foggiest idea what having it is like not. The people who are frail, like Steve, genuinely know what strength is a result of the psychological durability they create to conquer, being usually kept down by strength above them."

"Damn, that's deep. But it's also true. I always thought that being stronger is the only way to become a hero when I was a child, but I never experienced being weak throughout my childhood." Shishida agreed. "And now, I realized that I'm weaker than anyone. I'm even weaker than Captain America."

"Most of us do, Shishida. And by mean 'most of us' is that Bakugo wouldn't understand it because he'll always believe that strength is everything… sometimes." Jiro said.

"Captain America is really a true hero like the lizard villain said. If he was in our universe, he might've inspired everyone to become a hero. He might've even inspired the Quirkless community." Shoto said.

"Yeah, he might've." Midoriya agreed, as he would've idolized the captain if he existed in his world instead of All Might.

Midoriya would've watched old documentaries about him, read the old newspapers, learned his history, and more. He would've ignored Kacchan's words about being unable to become a hero without any Quirk because Captain America is essentially Quirkless like Eraserhead. The captain didn't have any flashy powers nor incredible strength like All Might. He knew confidently that Captain America would've been idolized by the Quirkless community if existed in his world.

"Hey, do you think that Red Skull is alive?" Uraraka asked curiously.

If he is, he would be a threat to other planets in the universe."

"I hope not. If he's alive, he's probably in an isolated planet hopefully." Tokage said.

"He got what he deserved for thinking he can become a god like Thor." Kamikiri said. "He would've won against Captain America and his allies if he wasn't distracted by his own ideals."

"Thank goodness he was, otherwise, millions of people would've been killed by the bombings and enslaved those that survived." Shoto said.

"Still, he reminds us that we shouldn't be blinded by our Quirks. Quirks may be powerful, but they aren't limitless nor grant us 'godhood' as Red Skull believed in." Yaoyorozu said.

"One thing for sure is that I wouldn't want to see him again. He is the catalyst of ruining Captain Rogers' happy life with Peggy." Hagakure said with a hint of an angry tone.

"Yeah, I don't think I can handle my rage if I saw him. He ruined the best ship in the MCU so far!" Ashido complained.

As the students continued to converse with each other, Shigaraki walked away while Toga and Twice watched him silently leave. He was completely unaware that two of his members were quietly watching him listening to the heroes. Both of them were quite surprised that he didn't throw any tantrums after the young heroes were talking about Captain America.

"It seems that he secretly admired Captain America while he despised Iron Man. It seems that Shigi is still a child on the inside." Toga said.

"I mean, he's awesome. HE'S TOTALLY AWESOME!" Twice exclaimed quietly.

"Yeah, he is indeed though Deku is still more awesome… and handsome." Toga said while blushing.

Twice frowned, "I guess he is."

Unbeknownst to them, a winged-unknown individual from earlier breaks was watching them from above. They were eager to join the audience already after hearing the students' conversation about Captain America: The First Avenger.

Cafeteria

Meanwhile, the heroes were having a meeting in the cafeteria while Nezu went to the therapist one more time as anger issues were slowly dissipating thanks to the unknown therapist. They were still amazed by the historical-superhero story as it reminded them of All Might's heroism.

"Does anyone have any news about Kiddo this time?" Aizawa asked.

"As always, nope. It's impossible to know about him when he barely shows himself during breaks nor barely talk about his personal life." Present Mic said. "At this point, we're just going to give up on learning about the deity."

"And let our guard down? I don't think so. We must need to know about him from his strengths to weaknesses." Aizawa said.

"Well, it's obvious about his strengths. He could just make us disappear by blinking." Cementoss said.

"How can he have weakness when he's a freaking god!?" Present Mic reminded everyone.

"Everyone has a weakness, even Kiddo." Aizawa said.

"If he had any, All For One would've already killed them by now." All Might said. "If he can't take on against Kiddo, then how could we? Even if he has a weakness, who's to say that it isn't something divine or demonic to beat him?"

There was a brief silence from the realization. If something physical couldn't harm Kiddo, then something spiritual will. It sounds easy enough to find a divine weapon that could harm Kiddo, which isn't! Most of the heroes agreed that they'll have to drop searching information about Kiddo, otherwise, they might end up going crazy or be punished by Kiddo for planning something sinister behind his back.

"Anyway, let's talk about Captain America." Mandalay broke the tension.

"There's nothing left to talk about." Vlad said, wanting to avoid a topic about true heroism as it'll prove that villains are right.

"You're right. We already established that he's a true hero like All Might." Midnight said. "I hope he changed your mind about expelling students next time, Aizawa."

"Slightly, but I'm not in the wrong." Aizawa said. "Those students that I expelled wouldn't have taken the hero job seriously. Next time, I'll give a chance to those who have lesser potential next time."

"So anyway, we stop gathering information about Kiddo or something?" Present Mic questioned.

"Yes, it's time to stop." All Might said.

Apocalyptic Workshop

In the workshop, Melissa and Power Loader continued to improve the boots while attempting to add flight stabilizers, though it proved to be difficult. They wondered how long it took for Tony Stark to perfect the flight stabilizers, as there were so many attempts. They're confident that it's going to take at least 3,000 attempts.

Meanwhile, Hatsume made an arc reactor successfully though it doesn't last very long compared to Stark's. Power Loader and Melissa were genuinely impressed by the invention.

"You actually managed to make it, Hatsume. I'm impressed." Power Loader complimented.

"Yeah, but it doesn't last long. I need more time to make the real baby! This is so exciting! I can finally be equal to my god!" Hatsume said, as her eyes were covered in dark circles.

"Uhm, Hatsume… I think you need some rest. Why don't you rest until break time is over?" Power Loader pointed it out to her worriedly.

"Ha! I have only thirty minutes to make this baby! I only take breaks while watching the stories! It's a long break already!" Hatsume answered excitedly.

Melissa sighed, "At least have some meal, Hatsume. I'm sure you haven't eaten any for the past few hours."

"Mhm… I am kind of hungry." Hatsume said while her stomach was rumbling. "All right then! I'll eat some food!"

"That's good, and while we're eating, we can discuss how to improve the flight stabilizers and arc reactor. There isn't any harm done if we brainstorm, Hatsume." Power Loader said.

"Okay, okay, sensei." Hatsume said, as the three of them left the workshop. "I wonder what I should eat."

"Something healthy for now." Melissa said. "You're going to look like a dead woman if you don't."

Doomsday Bar

The villains were hanging in the bar while Tokoyami and Kuroiro were discussing… about darkness as usual. All of them were having some thoughts about Captain America. It was unusual for them to have a hero that they respect, considering some heroes nowadays are hypocrites.

All For One headed out of the bar as he couldn't handle that his members admired one hero like his apprentice. He mustn't let his disciple admire Captain America, otherwise, his true personality will return. An innocent child who admired his grandmother and heroes. If he doesn't, Shigaraki couldn't become his vessel anymore because he doesn't bore any hatred.

"Kurogiri, where do you think Shigaraki is?" All For One asked.

"I'm not sure. He never came to the bar." Kurogiri answered while wiping a drinking glass.

"All right, thanks." All For One then left the bar, as Tokoyami and Kuroiro stared at the boss villain cautiously.

"Where is he going?" Dabi asked curiously.

"He probably wants to convince Shigaraki that Captain America is like any other hero. I mean, did you notice his attitude towards the hero? He didn't hold any grudge towards him like Iron Man." Mr. Compress answered. "I definitely didn't. And you definitely didn't, right?"

Dabi drank the beer before answering, "I have no comment about that."

"Captain America has an impact on both sides. Did you see the fake heroes' faces when they realized that he was a true hero? It was hilarious." Spinner said while laughing, as the two dark obsessive students were simply listening.

"He was indeed different. At least he isn't Thor." Dabi said while clenching his fist calmly at the hero. "Where are Toga and Twice? Don't tell me they're still spying on the hero."

"They didn't say." Kurogiri said. "I assume they care less about spying and more on learning about the stories instead."

As they continued to drink beverages, Tokoyami and Kuroiro left the bar. They decided to explore the theater because there's probably the darkest area somewhere in the place. They bumped into Detective Tsukauchi who was on his way to the bar to grab some drink.

"How's your arm anyway, Dabi?" Mr. Compress asked.

Dabi sighed, "Never better."

Danger Room

In the danger room, Aizawa was standing in front of the door with some of his students. He decided to use the room to let his students fight the MCU heroes in order to improve their fighting styles. The students who are joining the training were Sato, Uraraka, Todoroki, Shoji, Asui, and Yaoyorozu. They were slightly nervous because they're facing heroes and villains of the MCU, most notably Hulk and Abomination. All of them knew that they stood no chance, but they'll have to try.

They were grouped into three. Uraraka and Asui will be fighting Captain America, Sato and Todoroki will be fighting Hulk or Thor, Shoji and Yaoyorozu will be fighting Iron Man. Group 1 have less confidence because Captain America is an experienced combatant, Group 2 were slightly nervous because they're facing heavy hitters, and Group 3 already have a plan to take down Iron Man… hopefully.

Meanwhile, Gentle and La Brava were watching the training. They were mostly paying attention to the room's functionality because it may suddenly break down. The bluegrtiz droids were on standby in case the students were injured. Unbeknownst to them, a man dressed as a plague doctor was watching them.

"I hope those little brats aren't going to be injured." The plague doctor said before walking away. "It was a pain to deal with those two idiots."

30 MINUTES LATER

Lobby

After the thirty-minute break, all the audience members were transported to the lobby. Bakugo and Shigaraki managed to land on their feet as they've been paying attention to the time now. There were six students who were exhausted from training, as sweat was flowing from their bodies.

"That's hot." Mineta mumbled while hiding his blush.

"Where have you guys been?" Nejire asked curiously.

Uraraka pants, "Training… in the Danger Room. It's… exhausting."

"Yeah, we couldn't defeat a hologram of Captain America. He was too unpredictable." Asui said.

"No kidding. I got pummeled by the Hulk immediately. I was healed by a doctor soon after." Sato said. "Todoroki was also having a hard time against Thor. He couldn't get close to him because of his lightning and tornadoes."

"Really?" Fuyumi questioned his younger brother.

"…no comment." Shoto answered bluntly.

"What about you guys, were you able to defeat Iron Man?" Uraraka asked Group 3 curiously.

Shoji shook his head, "Not even close. He was too fast for me to track."

"And he was too fast for my firearms to hit him. The hologram knew that we wouldn't stand a chance against the hero if he keeps using speed and flight in the fight." Yaoyorozu said. "All of us were at a complete disadvantage."

"No, it's just your moves are too predictable for the heroes. That's how they knew your moves. You must have creativity and think out every possible thing that they might do." Aizawa said. "You're just using the same old moves from your previous fights. They work well against our villains, but those heroes are different to the point they were even holding back.

"Damn, they weren't fighting us at their fullest? That's a bit embarrassing." Sato said while scratching his head.

"Let me fight them in the next break, sensei! I'll defeat all of 'em in one blow!" Bakugo declared.

Aizawa sighed, "Bakugo, you're still injured from your reckless fight earlier. Kiddo won't permit you."

"Damn it!" Bakugo complained before staring at Sugarman. "And how the hell did the donut lord here survive against the Hulk!?"

"…the heroes were holding back… as I said already." Aizawa answered. "You, on the other hand, pressed the impossible button for Hulk. What do you think will happen?"

Bakugo scoffed, "Whatever."

"By the way, who was the doctor you mentioned, Sato?" Recovery Girl asked curiously.

"I think his name was… Dr. Phantom. He was oddly dressing as a plague doctor. I don't know why." Sato answered.

(Note: Jack Séraphin Phantom is an original character. He is one of Kiddo's closest friends. He's an Earthling who hails from a planet that resembles the 19th Century of France called "De'th Ko", meaning "I am Death". Out of the four friends, he has least combat experience and more medical expertise though he has an advantage against threats thanks to the V-RUS living within him.)

"A plague doctor healed you all? That's a bit odd." Recovery Girl pointed out worriedly.

"It is, but he was actually really knowledgeable about medicine. He also has a similar ability as yours, Recovery Girl, but his is more gross, ribbit." Asui answered.

Kiddo teleported in front of them, "Hey, guys. Are you ready for the next story?"

"YES!" Eri and Katsuma answered excitedly.

"Good, you may ent-" Kiddo was interrupted after a flap of wings was heard in the air.

"I apologize for interrupting you, Kiddo, but may I join already?" A familiar voice asked.

"Hawks? You were here?" All Might questioned.

"Yeah, ever since the beginning." Hawks answered.

"Hawks, what did I say? You were supposed to join the cast in the ninth story." Kiddo reminded the hero.

"I know, but it takes forever. I'm starting to get bored. Pretty please, Kiddo?" Hawks begged Kiddo innocently.

Kiddo sighed, "Why is your mentor more patient than you? Fine, you'll join. At least it'll balance the heroes' gloominess."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Aizawa asked while raising his eyebrow.

"All right. Please pick up your food tray in the cafeteria and let's get this party starting!" Kiddo exclaimed excitedly.

After the audience members picked their food trays from Lunch Rush, they entered the door where Kota and Maharo were already sitting in their seats. The young heroes were excited to witness either another hero origin or a crossover of the heroes that were already shown while the villains weren't interested in meeting another one, as Captain America was already enough.

MARVEL ONE-SHOT: AGENT CARTER (2013)

Author's Notes:

I hope you enjoyed the interlude. I apologize if you think the chapter was short. And it was because the cast members already had a discussion about the story during their reaction. I just added some additional dialogues that I didn't put on the previous three chapters. I hope you're okay with it.

I don't have anything left to say other than checking out my crossover fanfic of Avengers x Rising of the Shield Hero and that The Avengers will be quite a while to be released. Yeah, that's all.

Stay tuned for the next chapter. Babush!
