After the whole training camp incident, things again where finally settling down. Izumi had been very busy studying and training for her Provisional Hero License. She had just moved into the dormitories at the campus two days ago and had been settling in nicely. It felt great living in a large place with a bunch of people. It was like being back at Avengers Tower. Oh, the nostalgia that filled her head.

"I think we should celebrate our first night together in the dorms." Said Uaraka.

"We should but don't we have school tomorrow?" Asked Koda.

"Well it's a good thing we're starting early." Said Ojiro.

"Jiro the music if you please!" Demanded Mina.

"Sure." Jiro turned on her play list. Sato and Bakugo where working away in the kitchen. Well they had to do some convincing with Bakugo but other than that he didn't really mind cooking. And Sato was a big help having experience in the kitchen, not that Bakugo was going to say it to his face. Everyone was sitting around the main living area of the dorms having a lively conversation. They asked about Izumi's family which made her spin her cover story. How she wanted to tell them the truth. She was going to have a lot of explaining to do when the truth finally came out. That much she knew right now.

"So how is life in the dorms?" Bruce asked as he and Izumi where sitting in the lab at the SHIELD base during the weekend for her appointment.

"The dorms a great. It took us a while to figure out the chores and their rotations. And then there was the bathroom's shower schedule. Thankfully the dorms have more than one bathroom. It's kind of like living back at Avengers Tower." Izumi explained.

"So, you're more than comfortable?" Tony asked.

"Well for right now. It is wired since I got used to living alone with only Goose to make sure that I was waking up, but I'll adapt back into living with others. I just have to keep reminding myself it's like at Avengers' Tower but there are obvious differences." She said.

"Good to hear." Said Rocket.

She was at her desk reading a book in her hand while twirling a pencil in the other as she muttered a few things. She knew that the exam for the license was going to be more of a practical exam, but they would be a written test somewhere in there too. Izumi just wanted to be repaired.

"Hey Izu…" Kirishima peeked his head inside.

"Yeah Kiri?"

"Mind coming with me to train?" He asked.

"Sure." She said. "I could use a break anyway. Just let me get changed."

"Sure thing." He closed the door as Izumi stood up changing into her workout clothes.

"Meow." Goose looked at her.

"I'll be careful Goose no need to worry. Besides I know you're coming with me anyway." She said.

"Man, Izu you got skills." Kirishima said as just barely dodged a punch. Kirishima deiced to do their training off campus at the beach. Thank goodness for the weekend and the beach being a ten-minute bus ride from the school.

"Thanks, Kirishima you too."

"Thanks for joining me for training."

"Thanks for asking me. I'm more than happy to help you hone your skills." She explained.

"Thank makes sense." Kirishima smiled. They continued training with Goose watching them off to the side. The two teens where locked in their training drowning everything out as they exchanged fists and swung their legs at one another. Goose was getting tense seeing how close Kirishima was aiming for the collar. Goose knew that he wasn't aiming for it on purpose, but his fists came going near that area. Suddenly Izumi powered up as Kirishima made his body hard as he could go. They went to punch one another when it happened. Kirishima accidently broke her collar! Goose grabbed Izumi's Avengers ID card which she always carried on her and rushed over as Izumi fell to one knee.

"Oh gosh I am so, so sorry Izumi!" Kirishima said kneeling down to her level. "What's wrong?"

"It's Infinity." She gasped taking deep breathes trying to sooth the power. "Shit! Kirishima…I need you to…to listen care—carefully…the card in Goose's mouth. Press… the A and hold it for th—three seconds."

"O—Okay." He said taking the card from Goose's mouth and pressed the A. He pressed it for three seconds before letting go as the circle around the A began glowing. Kirishima didn't know how long it was until he heard a jet flying overhead. It was a highly advanced looking jet that landed about a foot away from them.

"IZUMI!" Shouted Steve running over with Tony and Bruce.

"D—Dad…" She wheezed.

They had taken Kirishima with them to the SHIELD after they had gotten Izumi on board the quinjet. They couldn't take the chance of him going to tell everyone what he saw. So, while Tony, Bruce, and Rocket where making a new collar after stabilizing Izumi; Fury and Steve where busy explaining everything to Kirishima. Thank go the two studied Japanese when they had the chance.

"So, Izumi's quirk comes from these six beyond god like stones?" Kirishima recapped.

"Basically." Said Fury.

"Is it wrong to find that cool?" Kirishima asked getting laughter out of the older men.

"Well depends if Izumi is in control or not. Today we got lucky." Said Steve.

"Sorry Mr. Rodgers. It was my idea to go training." Kirishima explained with his head bowed.

"It's fine Kirishima and thanks for taking it away from the school because that would have been very uncomfortable." Steve said.

"So, why are you guys still hiding?" Kirishima asked. "I'm sure the world would accept you."

"Not as we are now. Our world, the one SHIELD and the Avengers are from, is very different. We didn't have a "Age of Heroes". And being a Hero didn't require a license. Becoming an Avenger would be considered the "Hero License" but that's about it." Fury explained. "And it seemed that in some ways the stones had merged our worlds."

Kirishima was silent for a moment then said, "I think I understand."

"So long as you understand that you need to keep your mouth shut about everything you just saw and heard you'll be okay. I won't to have Stark whip of memory erasing device." Fury said.

"No need to worry about me!" Kirishima said nervously.

Tony popped his head in and said, "Welcome to the Avengers!"

"Really!?" Kirishima looked between the other two men.

"Unofficially." Stated Steve. "Being an Avenger means a lot more then being a Hero and it's a big choice. You are going to have to fight the battles the one else will. Which also means you may, it's a big may, have to kill."

"Oh…" Kirishima said. "But can I think about it. I have this little voice in my heading telling me that I improve if I learned under you guys."

"Sure. You have until Izumi's next appointment." Said Fury.

"Now that you know the truth Kiri, what will you do?" Izumi asked as they walked back to UA.

"I'm still thinking about it. But I really want to go through that Avengers' training you went through. There is a gap between me and the rest of the class that is only getting wider and I feel like the Avengers might be able to help me with that. There is only so much that UA can do to help improve my quirk. This quirk is more a defensive quirk."

"Well they say, "the best defense is the best offense"." Izumi said.

"I know that." Kirishima stated as they walked up to the dorm. "But I want to try what you did to get where you're at."

"Well no matter what choice you make I'll support it." Izumi swore. "Right Goose?"

"Meow." Goose said peeking out her bag.

"And I'm still sorry about the collar." Kirishima rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"It's fine. To be honest though I'm surprise that it was you who broke it after the USJ, Sports Festival, and the training camp." She said as they entered the dorms.

"When you but it that way it is surprising." Kirishima said.
