Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, and Ochako Uraraka were walking down the halls of U.A. High School, heading towards the principal's office.
"So, why do you think all three of us were called up here?" Uraraka asked.
"Well, it's impossible to tell," Midoriya replied. "If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably --"
"Lemme stop you right there, Deku," Bakugou interrupted, before moving on, leaving a confused Midoriya.
After a couple minutes, they finally reached the office. Midoriya knocked on the door.
"Come in," the principal said from inside. The three of them walked inside to see Principal Nedzu sitting behind his desk, with Toshinori Yagi, the retired Pro Hero formerly known as All Might, standing nearby.
"Hey, so uh, you called us here?" Midoriya asked.
"Yes, come in, come in," Nedzu replied. "You weren't followed here, were you?"
"I don't think we were," Uraraka answered, confused.
"Good. This is a bit of a, uh... complicated matter," Yagi said. He looked up at the ceiling. "You can come down now."
A tall man dropped down from the ceiling, landing in a squat before standing up to his full height of almost six feet tall. He was wearing a skin-tight, light green suit with a black, web-like pattern, a black spider emblem on his chest and a matching emblem on the buckle of his red belt, red sneakers, blue patches on his sides, underarms, and waist, and large, white lenses covering his eyes. He pulled his mask off, revealing that he looked exactly like Midoriya.
"Whoa, who are you?" Midoriya asked, pointing at the newcomer.
"I'm you from another universe," the newcomer said, pointing at Midoriya. "Look, I need your --"
"Don't you point at me!"
"What? You pointed at me first!"
"Stop pointing, it's rude to point."
"Wh-- I could say the same of you!"
"I was pointing out that you were pointing, it's different from regular pointing!"
"You are accusing me of pointing at you, when you pointed at me first!"
"Both of you, shut the hell up!" Yagi exclaimed, causing them both to stop talking.
"Okay, let's start over," the newcomer started. "My name is Izuku Midoriya. I'm from another universe."
"Wait, so the Multiverse is real?" Bakugou asked.
"Lemme talk, asshole!" the other Midoriya demanded. "Anyway, I need your help to save the Multiverse."
"Why do you need our help?" Uraraka asked.
"Well, uh... it's complicated," the other Midoriya replied. "From what I can remember, I was just going about my day when I was sucked into some vortex, and then I woke up on a rooftop in Hosu City."
"Wait, so what should we call you?" Uraraka asked.
"What do you mean?" the other Midoriya responded.
"Well, we clearly can't call you 'Midoriya' or 'Deku', seeing as how we're the same person," Midoriya explained.
"Oh... well, you can call me Spider-Man."
"How about 'The Ripoff Artist'?" Bakugou asked jokingly, before being elbowed in the ribs by Midoriya.
"Spider-Man it is," Midoriya said. "So, are you the only one who came through the portal?"
"If I had to guess... probably not," Spider-Man answered.
"Well, we're probably gonna need more help," Uraraka said. "And I know just the people to help us..."
A few minutes later, Tenya Iida and Shouto Todoroki were walking towards the principal's office.
"So, why do you think we were called up here?" Iida asked.
"I dunno," Todoroki replied. "Looks like we're about to find out."
Iida knocked on the door to the office, followed by a "Come in," from Principal Nedzu. They entered the office to see Nedzu, Yagi, Midoriya, Uraraka, Bakugou, and... another Midoriya?
"What the hell?" Todoroki asked.
"Iida, Todoroki, this is Spider-Man," Midoriya said to the two newcomers. "He's a version of me from another universe."
"Wait, so the Multiverse is real?" Iida asked.
"No time to explain," Spider-Man cut in. "Look, I need your help to save the Multiverse."
"Why?" Todoroki asked.
"Frankly, I don't think anyone else would believe me if I told them," Spider-Man answered.
"So, do you remember where this portal to the Multiverse was?" Yagi asked.
"Hmm... well, I would assume it's somewhere in Hosu City, most likely someplace hidden from the public," Spider-Man answered.
"Most likely underground or in an abandoned building then," Nedzu added.
"Alright, so we'll start looking in Hosu City, then," Iida said.
"Just be careful when you're investigating," Nedzu said. "Young Bakugou and Young Todoroki still don't have their provisional hero licenses, and even though you three have yours, you still legally can't perform heroics without a Pro Hero mentor, and unfortunately, Mr. Yagi is retired, so he no longer qualifies. Not to mention the fact that 'Spider-Man' isn't an official Pro Hero, so he's technically operating as a vigilante."
"Wait, what?" Spider-Man asked, trying to process everything the little animal just said. "That's just stupid!"
"Wait, so you don't have a hero system in your universe?" Midoriya asked.
"Look, we don't have time to argue about it," Yagi said. "We need to go."
The seven of them were exiting U.A., and were heading towards the subway when Spider-Man felt the hairs on the back of his neck tingling.
"Wait a minute," he said, causing the other six to stop in their tracks.
"What is it?" Uraraka asked.
"My Spider-Sense is tingling."
Bakugou had to keep himself from laughing. "Oh my God, he actually said it," he muttered to no one in particular.
All of a sudden, they heard a loud, whooshing noise, like a fighter jet. They looked up and saw what appeared to be a human being flying towards them. The person got closer and landed in a three-point landing. They saw that he was roughly the same height as Spider-Man, wearing what appeared to be a suit of armor, colored green and gold, with a light blue power core on the chest, and matching light coming out of the eyeholes.
"Who the hell are you?" Bakugou asked.
The metal faceplate retracted to reveal another Midoriya. "My name is Izuku Midoriya, but you can call me Iron Man," he said.
"Wait, so is your suit actually made of iron?" Spider-Man asked.
"Actually, no, it's made of a gold-titanium alloy," Iron Man replied.
"Why do you call yourself Iron Man, then?" Todoroki asked.
"Uh..." Fortunately, Iron Man was cut off by another Midoriya landing next to him in a three-point landing. The man stood up, standing taller than Iron Man, with a skin-tight, blue suit, with a red cape, red boots, a gold belt, and a red "S" on his chest in a yellow pentagon.
"Lemme guess, another Midoriya?" Todoroki asked.
"Yep. You can call me Superman," the newcomer said.
"God, we're totally gonna get sued," Bakugou muttered.
"Well said, Bakugou!" another voice exclaimed, causing the group to look up and see a man dressed in a red and black version of Midoriya's original hero costume, with white lenses over the eyes. He leapt down from the rooftop he was standing on and landed on the ground, only to flub the landing and break his ankle with an audible crack, causing everyone to wince. "Ah, fuck!" He got back up. "Anyway, we are gonna get sued. I'm Deadpool by the way."
"Are you another version of me?" Midoriya asked.
"Yes. Yes, I am," Deadpool responded.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Uraraka asked.
"Wait, I've seen his movies!" Bakugou exclaimed. "Don't --!"
Too late. Deadpool had already pulled his mask back. He had the same head shape and eye color as Midoriya, but that was where the similarities ended. His head was completely bald, and his skin was completely covered in burns, scars, and calluses. Immediately, everyone started screaming.
Deadpool rolled his eyes and pulled his mask back over his face. "God, everyone's a critic."
"Where's the last one?" Iron Man asked.
"Oh, he's running late," Superman answered.
Almost as if on cue, another man ran over to them before stopping next to them and panting with his hands on his knees. He was wearing a black costume that looked to be some kind of body armor, with a black cape, triangular blades on his forearms, a cowl with bat ears on the top and his eyes and mouth exposed, and a bat symbol on his chest.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me," Bakugou said, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Now we've got Batman?!"
"What took you so long?" Deadpool asked.
"You know how hard it is to run around in the daytime in black body armor?" Batman asked in a gravelly voice. "Why do you think I operate at night?"
"Oh God, why'd we get stuck with the Christian Bale version?" Yagi asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Is that it?" Superman asked.
"Well, with the exception of you, my scanners indicate that we're the only ones in this universe with the same genetic code," Iron Man answered.
"Wait... were there any others that passed through?" Spider-Man asked.
Iron Man paused for a moment. "With the exception of the five of us, I picked up five more people whose vibrational frequencies contrast with that of this universe."
"Great. So now we have five unknown variables and the possible collapse of the Multiverse to deal with," Batman added.
"Wait, how'd you know about that?" Iida asked.
"Iron Man crunched the numbers and filled us in," Deadpool clarified.
"Yeah, but you're not gonna like this next part," Iron Man said.
"What do you mean?" Midoriya asked.
Iron Man's faceplate slid back into place. "We've got one of those unknown variables headed right for us."
