Chapter 1
GREETINGS EVERYBODY! THIS IS ZAYDEN STORMVOID! HERE WITH THE SEQUEL STORY TO WELCOME TO THE MCU COVERING ALL OF PHASE 2 OF THE MCU, THIS STORY BEING DUBBED WELCOME TO THE MCU PHASE 2! Not creative, but titles are not my thing.
This Phase 2, as the name suggests, will cover all of the 6 movies of Phase 2, starting, in chronological order, with Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, followed by an interlude chapter, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy, with a 2nd interlude chapter afterwards, and finishing it up with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, finishing it off with a final interlude chapter. Afterwards, a third story will be made for Phase 3 of the MCU, ending this Saga on Avengers: Endgame.
This story will directly continue after the previous interlude chapter of Welcome to the MCU. In there many of the plot threads that I wish to continue have been discussed, revealed, and will be explored more in this story. In short, Setsuna and Izuku have revealed their feelings for each other with a bet placed between the two, where Setsuna bets to get the girls of the newly minted Sisterhood to share him and confess to him while Izuku attempts to realize his own feelings and confess first instead. We also have Aizawa now informed of One For All and Izuku and Bakugou's past, with he, All Might, Nezu, Gran Torino, and Detective Tsukauchi to target the school responsible for Izuku's torment and Bakugou's attitude: Aldera.
The girls have formed the Sisterhood and the remaining 1-B girls have agreed to help them in their goal in return for help with their own romantic situations, such as Ibara and Bakugou. Izuku and Eri had a heart to heart talk informing her of the truth of the multiverse, acceptance as a father to her, and Eri determined to see her Papa with her Mamas. Monoma's schemes of framing Izuku and Bakugou for his pranks were foiled by me, Nezu, Power Loader, and David Shield talked with F.R.I.D.A.Y. about their way of creating the Stark Element made in Iron Man 2, and use it to help Melissa reignite her dreams of being a Hero, create Vibranium and make a shield for a certain Green Bean, and use F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s Hard Light Matter Formation technology in congruence with the H.U.L.K. to create virtual reality simulations for training.
And now we come to this, starting off Phase 2 with an introductory chapter to Phase 2, followed up immediately with Iron Man 3, that will be released immediately after this one. And I will be answering reviews of the previous chapter of the previous story there. But I just want to say to a recent guest reviewer: Thanks dude for those words of support! I agree that some running complaints and harsh criticisms can make writing more difficult for others to continue, including me, but it's you and the supportive ones with their great comments and helpful critics and advice that really keep me going. Criticism should always be in a constructed form of genuine advice and respect to better one's story and potential, to make it better than it could be by improving on what is working and fixing what isn't, not belittling it with harshness and venting negativity. That's why I listen to more constructive and thought out criticism than just 'I hate this and I hate you and think you're trash because of it', something maybe some modern comic books writers should also do.

New Phase, New Movies, New Goals,
Third POV
"And so, if you are willing to behave, don't go too overboard, and follow our instructions To. The. Letter. Then you come aid in this historical precedent." Power Loader finished saying, stressing out to a particular student in front of him.
"So, Melissa, Ms. Hatsu-sorry, Mei, would you be willing to cooperate?" David asked the two girls.
In front of them, Melissa and Hatsumei stood there completely frozen. Their mouths were so far agape that the two worried their jaws would snap and fall to the ground. Their eyes were wide in complete, utter, incomprehensible shock, unable to believe what they had heard.
In the morning, after a night of fun, partying, and bonding in the 1-B dorms, the students attempted to get themselves up and ready for class. In retrospect, the students agreed it may have not been a smart idea to plan out a sleepover full of partying, video game playing, and emotional exhaustion on a Tuesday night.
As the Hero Course students went to their classes, and Shinsou to General Studies, Melissa and Mei walked into the Support Course Department to be met by Melissa's father, David Shield, and Power Loader, asking to have a chat. When they reached the lab, the two girls noticing a pile of blueprints, papers, and books that looked thoroughly searched, and Mr. Shield and Power Loader looking like they didn't get a wink of sleep, the two teachers hit them with the bomb shell. The two informed the girls about last night's talk with F.R.I.D.A.Y., about the plans for Vibranium and the Stark element from Iron Man 2, the plans Nezu had to combine the H.U.L.K. and F.R.I.D.A.Y. to make a virtual simulated training system, and, the biggest surprise of all of them, the offer to join and help.
Melissa spotted the knowing look in her father's kind, supportive eyes. Melissa began realizing the potential of this offer. To show to the world a new, better, clean form of energy for the betterment of the world, to officially uncover a new element that would put them in the history books...and to make her own Iron Man suit.
'My chance to be a Hero.' Melissa though with joy, the thought of flying through the sky, alongside Deku running and leaping from building to building, the two smiling at each other. Melissa's eyes watered.
Mei meanwhile was in a likewise state of shock, the pupils of her scope lens-like eyes shrinking. She realize that this kind of opportunity would be once in a lifetime. Discovering two different elements, officially, creating a training system unlike their world has ever produced, and help in the creation of two key elements that would allow for them to replicate Iron Man and Captain America into their world.
'Forget being scouted by a Support Item Company. This is could help launch my Own company!' Mei thought with immeasurable excitement. 'Hatsumei Industries. Building towards a better tomorrow.' Her thoughts turned to Midoriya, imagining handing him a shield of his own and gazing at her with untold gratitude and love in his eyes. 'Or maybe SHIELD Industries: Defending Imagination, Security, and Hope to all.'
The two could only share one look between them to know the answer.
"YES!" The two screamed out together, immediately hugging each other as they squealed and bounce in joy.
David and Power Loader smile happily at the two. David Shield looked at his daughter with fatherly pride and joy, satisfied with himself for helping to guide his daughter back towards the path she always wanted and dreamed of going, but determined to only be truly satisfied and work done when he sees his daughter flying the skies as the world's first Quirkless Hero.
While reasonably concerned of the Hell he had likely unleashed with this offer, Higari Miajima still smiled, glad that his favorite student was well on her way to show her drive and genius to the world as he saw, and hopeful that he will survive her relentless drive and terrifying genius along the way.
As the two adults talked to the two young girls more into the ground rules of this partnership, Hatsumei the more pouty of the two, watching from the sidelines, Nezu smiled, amused and pleased. He could see the potential that the two girls have just as much as Mr. Shield and Miajima, imagining a building with Hatsumei's or Shield's name over it and Melissa flying out of her partner's tower in a red and golden suit of her own. Or perhaps gold and green, like a certain successor of All Might.
Nezu shook his head, himself amused by his own inventive imagination, or was it probability drawn up by his High Specs Quirk? 'Perhaps not, that was Nighteye's Quirk, may he rest in peace.' Nezu thought.
Turning his attention down towards the field outside, watching as the students of both class were instructed by the Pro Heroes, teachers, and the Big 3, the rodent principal was more pleased at the positive influences these past 5 videos have done towards the bright youth of the 1st Year Hero Course, already seeing some particular improvements on certain students.
His thoughts then turned to the remaining 16 movies yet to be seen, the fates and possibilities of these other versions of students, teachers, Heroes, and even civilians, to the more darker possibilities, such as the Villains' own counterparts, their ties and secrets likely to be revealed, and the recent memory of the sinister, purple, smiling alien and his equally sinister and smiling Villain counterpart.
Nezu turned his sights back to the, currently offline, device and the A.I., F.R.I.D.A.Y., within, a foreboding chill running up his spine and flickering into his tail. 'This chill of mine, it has never be wrong in what I feel now: a sense of dread and worry of what's to come.' Nezu thought. 'Let us hope, in the end, the end result will be worth it.'
Outside, Deku dodged another metal punch from Tetsutetsu. "Smash!" He yelled as he struck at the iron skin student with a Full Cowling 20% Smash. While it felt like hitting a metal, because that's what it was, the force of the attack was enough to have Real Steel sliding a few meters away.
Deku heard and saw a loud flash of light in his peripheral vision. Turning to his right, he saw his teammate, Momo Yaoyorozo, Hero Codename: Creati, jump back beside him, away from Sen Kaibara, who was temporarily blinded by Yaoyorozo's flash bang grenade.
After spending the Wednesday going through their normal classes, when it came to their Heroics Class, Class 1-A and 1-B, alongside Shinsou, joined up in the P.E. grounds of Ground Alpha. They were met with a few of the teachers and the visiting pros from last night, informing them that today's class would be a series of two-on-two battles between Class 1-A and 1-B, with Shinsou acting as a third fighter to be randomly assigned to one team.
The matches started with fights including Bakugou and Uraraka, the two unhappy at their pairing, vs Monoma and Jurota. Of course, Phantom Thief wasted no time proclaiming his class's superiority and pairing Bakugou with Uraraka like Iron Man 2 did, implying a sexual tension like their counterparts. And of course, that served to make Bakugou and Uraraka put aside their differences to take out Monoma as quickly and painfully as possible. In the end, Monoma only survived as long as he did thanks to Gevaudan, but he was still relatively knocked out quickly, though by the end of the fight, Monoma made some excuse about his legs being numb, though he refused to share anymore after that, looking rather pale, as if frightened of what caused his numbness.
Jurota actually pulled off a worthy fight against the two, managing to even knock Uraraka out of the fight, with some of his moves looking rather similar to his Hulk counterpart. Yet he only held off the inevitable and was defeated in turn by Bakugou, Jurota's rage diminishing after a while and Bakugou's explosions only getter more powerful from his sweat.
The fights continued with other matches such as Kirishima and Todoroki vs Shiozaki and Kamakiri, Setsuna and Pony vs Kaminari, Shinsou, and Jirou, and Koda and Shoji vs Honenuki and Kendo.
Now, it was Izuku and Momo vs Tetsutetsu and Sen. Tetsutetsu immediately went after Midoriya, wanting to test out his own durability against Deku's strength, while his teammate was left with Yaoyorozo, Kaibara's drill-like hands putting Creati on the defensive, drilling past her shields and weapons and keeping him back and evading him with smoke bombs and flash grenades.
Momo looked to her teammate/crush and asked "Do you have a plan, Izuku?" Momo asked, panting.
Looking between Kaibara and Tetsutetsu, their placement being mostly close by, Deku's mind began working its analytical cogs to come up with what to do. Another key importance of this fight was to have one of them act as team leader. Bakugou and Uraraka were debating who to be leader, despite Uraraka being named leader by the teachers, with Monoma's mocking eventually letting Bakugou relent the task to Uraraka, all his thoughts focused on knocking the blonde douche. For their fight, Deku was assigned leader, likely for the teachers to test his own analytical, tactical mind and have Yaoyorozo, who is normally the leader in these situations act as sidekick, Deku assuming the task to have the normal leader rely and trust on someone else. Deku also figured that having Uraraka as leader in her fight was to have Bakugou be more of a team play-
Deku's eyes widened, the metaphorical lightbulb lighting in his head. "Actually, now I do." Deku replied, in a whispered tone so only Yaoyorozo could hear. "Momo, do you remember Iron Man 2, and Black Widow's discs?"
Yaoyorozo's eyes widened briefly, catching onto Deku's train of thought. The two seemed to whisper a bit more before nodding in agreement.
"Hey, Midoriya! Yaoyorozo! Stop whispering and fight me!" Tetsutetsu, the team leader between him and Kaibara, yelled. "Show me that Manliness your counterpart had, Midoriya!"
"Get him close, signal with the codeword." Izuku whispered to Yaoyorozo before zipping forward with Full Cowling to strike at Tetsutetsu.
Meanwhile, the teachers, pros, and students watched from the sidelines as Yaoyorozo engaged Kaibara in close combat with a pair of tonfas, while Midoriya rained fast punches and kicks on Tetsutetsu.
"Did you see that?" Mina pointed. "Wonder what Midori and Yaomomo were whispering out?"
"A plan to defeat Tetsutetsu and Kaibara." Tokoyami said. "With Midoriya in command and Yaoyorozo's quick thinking and fast creation speeds, they could come up with just about anything to succeed."
"Come on, Midori, Yaomomo!" Hagakure cheered on. "Kick those guy's butts."
Jirou smirked, her jacks allowing her to hear Green's plan and confident that the two will win.
"Go, Zuzu! Kick their spinning and metal butts!" Nejire joined in cheering for Izuku and Momo.
"Nejire, we're supposed to be impartial." Tamaki groaned out, hand over his shy, embarrassed face.
"Oh why?" Nejire pouted cutely. "Mr. Vlad King is rooting for the 1-B students. Why can't I root for my Zuzu?"
"Come on, guys, stop and look." Mirio interrupted the two. "I think Midoriya and Yaoyorozo are planning something."
Sen slammed his gyrating fists over and over against Yaoyorozo's riot shield. "Is that all you guys got?" Sen taunted, hoping to get a rise out of the girl. "I thought you and Midoriya were supposed to be the smart ones of your class?"
Yaoyorozo simply smirked. "If you have seen anything from how Midoriya and Rogers are, you and your metal friend will be walking out of her Black and Bruised." Yaoyorozo said, her voice exclaiming louder at the end. She clicked on something and Sen and Yaoyorozo were covered in smoke from a smoke bomb. Yaoyorozo quickly tossed something to her left and behind her, before swiping her riot shield sideways, pushing Kaibara and momentarily disorienting him, sidestepping to her right and creating a springing boxing glove, the sprung up glove striking the teen in the stomach and sending him back out of the smoke to her left, Yaoyorozo following by jumping back.
Hearing the codeword, Deku smirked, quickly dodging right hook from Tetsutetsu. Jumping up, Deku brought down his fist down onto Tetsutetsu. "Detroit Smash!" He yelled as he brought the fist down, Tetsutetsu quickly bringing his arms up to block the downward punch, the resulting impact so hard it caused a small impact crater, full of cracks on the ground.
"That all you got, Midoriya?! I'm just getting pumped up!" Tetsutetsu yelled, pushing Midoriya off of him with a yell, the green-haired teen flying back before landing in a slide. "Strike me all you want Midoriya, but Real Steel isn't breaking anytime soon!"
Deku smirked, feeling Black Whip sneakily snatch the object on the ground behind him. "I don't have to break you." Deku replied. The green-haired teen raised his left hand and flicked his fingers twice, firing two back to back shots of compressed air force, before tossing something in a arcing throw. Surprised, Tetsutetsu brought his arms over his face to shield the air blasts, almost failing to register the metallic cling of something striking and bouncing off his left shoulder.
Before Tetsutetsu could respond to the useless attack, Deku said "I just have to misdirect you. Momo, now!"
With a swipe of her cape, Momo revealed two detonators of some sort. Pressing on the right one, Tetsutetsu felt a strong pull of force that sent him shooting out his left, crashing into an equally stunned and confused Kaibara. "What the Hell?" As he tried to move away, Tetsutetsu found he couldn't remove himself from Kaibara. "I'm Stuck!"
Looking down to see what connected the two, Tetsutetsu's eyes widened to see a metallic, disc-shaped object on Kaibara's shoulder. Tetsutetsu's eyes widened. 'Is it some kind of strong electromagnet Yaoyorozo made?' Tetsutetsu thought. 'But how did he get in on Sen?' Tetsutetsu's mind then lit up as he remembered the cling of something bouncing on him after Midoriya's Air Bullets. Looking up to the smirking Midoriya, his right arm arcing like he tossed something...like his counterpart Captain America.
'He flung it at me and it ricochet off my iron body onto Sen to the left of me!' Tetsutetsu realized.
Before Tetsutetsu could deactivate his Quirk, Yaoyorozo pressed on the other detonator and Tetsutetsu and Sen quickly convulsed and yelled in pain at the flow of electricity passing into them. Below their feet was another disc-shaped device, one that Momo tossed while in the smoke: a shock disc, like Black Widow's.
Quickly, Momo fired a swiftly created net launcher at the two, wrapping them in a constricting net. "Now, Izuku!" Momo yelled.
Deku leapt towards the two, ready to try out a move he was meaning to try out. Upping Full Cowling to 30%, Deku swiped his right foot across, yelling "ST. LOUIS SMASH!"
A large wave of compressed air blasted forwards, crashing onto the two captured students and blasting them backwards, out beyond the boundary line.
"OUT!" Midnight proclaimed, with a swipe of her whip. "Tetsutetsu and Kaibara have been captured and knocked out of bounds! The winners are Midoriya and Yaoyorozo!"
Respectful and congratulatory claps and cheers sounded from the students and the sidelines. Deku wiped the sweat of his forehead and flashed a victorious smile. "Izuku! We Did It!" He was suddenly tackled into a hug by Yaoyorozo, her large breasts pressing against his chest making the previously smirking teen into a swirly eyed, blushing mess.
"Y-Y-Yeah, w-we did." Izuku managed to stutter out, finally managing to wrap an arm around his classmate and pat her back. "Though we couldn't done it without your creations."
"Creations that would be useless without the plan that you came out with, Izuku." Momo countered, breaking the hug to meet his eyes hers that basically said 'Take some credit for yourself and be proud of it.'
Izuku smiled, warmly at her. "I guess what really counts in the end is that we trusted each other, and that led us to victory." Izuku replied.
Momo smiled back, her eyes shining lovingly, something that Izuku, finally, managed to spot.
'How did I never see that before?' Izuku thought to himself, amazed at the level of obliviousness he held, despite his regarded analytical genius.
'Or maybe you chose to believe it was fake. Because you were afraid of being rejected. Again.'
That thought, Izuku recognized, was the darker, more self-deprecating side to himself, the same side that taunted him back in the Avengers, after his counterpart, Izuku Rogers, and Kacchan's counterpart, Katsuki Stark, got into that argument. The fact that it sprung up in his mind again, made Izuku think he was finally going crazy after all that he went through. And now it's gone from taunting his very worthiness of being a Hero to equating the girls to...her.
Izuku forced that side of himself back down, as always, trying his hardest to not let the memories of that day rise up again. 'Maybe I should schedule a visit with Hound Dog.' Izuku suggested to himself.
Before he could think on it any further, Midnight's voice snapped him from his thoughts and Yaoyorozo from her staring at her teammate. "As wise as ever Midoriya." Midnight said, walking up to the two, as Vlad and Ryukyu worked to get the still captured, and lightly spasming, Tetsutetsu and Sen from their binds. "Teamwork and trust in each other is the, in the end, all that matters. Yaoyorozo's creations needed a plan and a clear objective to be useful, and your plan, in turn, needed the means to achieve your goal. Only in trusting the each other to follow that plan, were you able to succeed."
"Thank you, Sensei." Izuku and Momo bowed in gratitude.
"Yaoyorozo, that device you made into shocking Tetsutetsu and Kaibara, was it perhaps the shock discs of Black Widow shown in Iron Man 2?" Edgeshot asked.
"Yes, sir." Momo nodded, respectfully serious. "Midoriya and I decided that physical force alone wasn't going to be enough to defeat Tetsutetsu and my defenses could only hold off Kaibara for so long. To counter this, we decided to draw in their individual focuses towards one of us and plant the device, by Midoriya's suggestion, misdirecting them with my smoke and Midoriya's relentless attacks."
Edgeshot nodded, before turning his attention to Midoriya. "And you, Midoriya, why did you choose this tactic?"
"I-I chose this because of Tetsutetsu and Kaibara's conflicting desires." Midoriya replied. "Kaibara's offensive nature against Yaoyorozo's shields showed his desire to end the fight quickly, recognizing the level of threat she posed, but Tetsutetsu wanted to contest our *ahem* 'Manliness' against each other and put himself in a more defensive role to tank my attacks. I decided that the best course of action was instead of dividing and conquering them, to bring them together for a decisive blow."
"By way of the magnetic device to bring them together and the shock disc to stun them." Edgeshot said.
"Yes." Izuku nodded. "Tetsutetsu's iron body brought the best means of bringing the two together. I still have work to do on Black Whip so to pull a heavy target would be risky. Mo-Yaoyorozo's magnetic device was the simpler route. Then the shock device would affect the two effectively by way of Tetsuteus's iron properties, allowing the electricity to flow through him and to Sen as well. And while they are stunned, Yaoyorozo would create the capture net to capture them and I would knock them back out of the ring with a single wave of Air Force."
"The objective of the match was to incapacitate, knock out of the field, or render the opponents unconscious to win. Why did you choose to do two out of the three when one was sufficient?" Aizawa asked.
Izuku blushed, rubbing his cheek nervously before steeling his nerves and looked at his teacher dead in the eyes. "I-I wanted more than just to pass, Mr. Aizawa. I wanted to excel."
Aizawa stared at Midoriya before he let out a amused chuckle. "I expect nothing less." Aizawa nodded. "Good job, to the both of you."
"Yes, sir." Izuku and Momo nodding and bowed in respect again.
"Yes, impressive work." Edgeshot nodded. "Midoriya, impressive show of trigonometry and aim with that toss. Your counterpart would be proud. And Yaoyorozo, an equally impressive show of misdirection, creativity, and quick-thinking. I would like to discuss more about honing those skills of yours. Personally."
Izuku and Momo's faces brightened at the praise of the Number 4 Hero, especially Momo, looking like she was going to explode in excitement. Izuku was happy for Momo, the two all but knowing this was Edgeshot practically asking Momo a position as an intern, maybe even a position as a sidekick when she graduates.
Izuku and Momo turned back to each other gave the other a smile and hive five.
Making their way back to their classmates, the teachers calling for the next group, and Vlad still lecturing Sen and Tetsutetsu for what they did wrong in their fight, Izuku's eyes drifted to Setsuna, winking and smiling teasingly at him, to his blush. 'Set was right. Momo has feelings for me, at least I think so.' Izuku thought, looking back to a satisfied and overjoyed Yaoyorozo and towards the smiling, cheering girls. 'And if she was right about Momo, then maybe she was right about the other girls, too?'
Izuku then turned his thoughts to himself and how he felt. 'And how do I feel about them, and Momo.'
Looking to Yaoyorozo, she flashed another warm smile at him. Izuku was for a moment taken back, her beauty always apparent to him, he wasn't that oblivious, but it was now more prevalent to him than ever, especially how her onyx eyes seem to glisten when she was overjoyed or her poised, regal posture, even when flustered.
Izuku smiled back, brightly. 'I think Set may be on to something.'
At the end of class, and end of the school day, the students made their way back to the 1-B dorms and changed into casual clothes quickly, in a hurry to see more of the videos that they have been dying to see all day.
Eri and Kouta waited for them with Ragdoll, the two still haven't let go of the 'Captain Deku' trading cards, as Kaminari called them. The two held onto and treated them like they were bricks of gold, Midoriya all the more touched by the two and grateful for Yaoyorozo for making them.
The students made their way to the gym, meeting up with the rest of the viewing group. The last to enter were Hatsumei, Power Loader, and the Shields, looking almost reluctant to showing up for the movies, as if they felt they had a more important thing to accomplish.
Midoriya was curious to ask them what they were up to and why looked so impatient, but chose to let it slide for now, assuming it was an invention they were working on.
They finished off the preparations with a feast of different snacks, drinks, and foods, including Shawarma, courtesy of Lunch Rush by Nezu's request. Fat Gum had to be held down and forced to share the food with the others.
Finally, when everyone was seated down, Nezu spoke to the group up front as Mei was activating the device and the H.U.L.K. "Welcome back everybody." Nezu began. "Today, as has become custom for us these past couple of days, we will be continuing more of the videos that F.R.I.D.A.Y. has for us to view. However, for today, and likely for the foreseeable future, we will limit ourselves to two movies a day, to avoid any over-exhaustion like yesterday, mentally, emotionally, and physically."
While the decision earned a few groans from the more impatient among the students, they accepted it, many not willing to go through too much on an emotional roller coaster with the prior day ranging from love drama between Bakugou and Shiozaki's counterparts, Izuku Rogers nearly seen as dead to them and Shoto Barnes's actual death, and the Avengers as a whole.
As Nezu finished his speech and F.R.I.D.A.Y. coming online, Bakugou looked back to Ibara, his gaze meeting her own. The two quickly gave each other a smile and nod before turning away blushing. Bakugou felt a shoulder nudge his side, turning to see Kirishima the culprit. "So? When's you and your Vine Girl's special date?" Kirishima asked/teased.
"Shut it, Shitty Hair." Bakugou growled, threatening. "Only I get to call her that."
"Oh! So you already got exclusive names for each other, huh?" Kirishima teased.
"You're no different than Weird Eyes." Bakugou growled, trying to cool down his blush.
"We are the best of friends." Kirishima reasoned. "So, what does she call you? Huh? Huh?"
"Pfft, BAHAHAHA! Suki! He let you call him Suki!" Setsuna laughed, holding her sides.
"Be silent, you teasing witch." A blushing Ibara grumbled, turning away from the lizard girl with a huff. "Only I have the privilege to call him as such."
"Okay. Okay. But seriously, when's your date with 'Lord Explosion Murder'?" Setsuna asked/teased again.
"...This Saturday." Ibara admitted.
"Ooohh! Smart, smart. Any chance you may tell me what you two have planned?" Setsuna asked, trying to give Ibara her best puppy eyes.
"Those may work on Midoriya, but they won't on me, Temptress." Ibara replied, refusing.
"Worth a shot." Setsuna shrugged, nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, how was your conversation with Midoriya?" Ibara asked in turn. "I and the others withheld that from the other girls as a favor, but if you are going to torture me with your teasing, at least tell me what you and Midoriya discussed."
Setsuna was silent. "We talked, about what happened in Captain America...how we feel about each other." She replied, honest.
"And?" Ibara asked for more details.
"He...he said he liked me. And that I liked him, too." Setsuna revealed, her voice cracked up with emotion that was a rare sight to Ibara. "B-But we held off any plans for a d-date, until we work over our feelings."
"I see." Ibara nodded. "Midoriya does appear more socially inexperienced than Katsuki, and just as emotionally confused."
"Heh. We sure picked some polar opposite guys for us, huh?" Setsuna chuckled.
"Maybe. But if there is anything I learned from you and Ashido is that love is unpredictable and inescapable." Ibara replied with a genuine smile.
Setsuna smiled back, gratefully.
Their attention was diverted towards the screen where F.R.I.D.A.Y. showed the data files for the 21 movies, the 5 of them that they have watched accessible and named, while the rest were locked and their names redacted. Then a sixth file was unlocked and opened up to revealed a name and poster for the movie: Iron Man 3.
"AHA! EAT THAT SHITTY DEKU AND ALL MIGHT!" Bakugou exclaimed in victory, jabbing a finger towards them. "YOU TWO ONLY GOT ONE SOLO MOVIE EACH YET I GOT A SECOND AND NOW A THIRD!" Then he pointed at Uraraka, Shinsou, and Jurota. "AND YOU THRE LOSERS DIDN'T EVEN GET A MOVIE AT ALL! HAHAHA!"
"At times, I find him to be your class's Monoma." Jurota muttered to Uraraka.
"You mean all the times?" Uraraka muttered back.
The poster of the video showed Katsuki Stark in the middle of a small, round platform, illuminated in whitish-blue light, and the Iron Man suits from Mark 1 to 7 in front of him. His shadowed back faced the audience, yet his turned his head towards them, his hands and feet covered in, almost unnoticeable, gold and red armored gloves and boots.
With the unassuming, non-revealing poster, Mei looked to Nezu and the group, to have them all nod, before turning back to the screen. Ignoring the slight itch and throb on her finger, she pressed the play button.
AAAAAANNNNNDDDD SCENE! That's all for the introductory chapter, and you can skip this end not if you like to the next chapter to be released immediately after this one.
Originally, this introductory chapter was suppose to be just part of Iron Man 3 Part 1 but it was getting too long for my taste and I wanted to write some more new plot information without constraints and so I split the introductory part to its own chapter. This of course made it longer to come out than anticipated, as well as going to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Good movie overall, 7-7.8 out of 10 for me. Would have wanted for America Chavez to have done more instead of standing around looking unsure of what to do, yes, I get that she is a shy teen, but the actress's delivery just made her come off as such to me, and I would've wanted for her to do more to make the final clash with Wanda more epic and earned, keyword being more. Other than that, and Wanda pissing me and my sister off with her excuses and delusions, Darkhold be damned, the movie was visually amazing, bloody, and horrifying, thanks Sam Raimi.
But onto the story, Melissa and Mei have been invited to work on the Stark element and Vibranium, Nezu is worried about the future, Deku and Momo just kicked Tetsutetsu's and Sen's asses, Momo has impressed Edgeshot, Midoriya has started to realize the feelings of the girls towards him and his to them, Bakugou and Ibara are making plans for their date on Saturday, and now we have reached Iron Man 3.
With that said, thanks again for the support, check out my other stories if you want, comment what counterparts you might see in this Phase 2, keep each other safe and healthy, don't be an ass, and I have a question for you all: Do you think I can I put this Phase 2 of this story in AO3 since it's not the first one that I had to delete, or should I keep this story exclusively on FFN because it would be targeted for the same reason and just piss off the people in charge of AO3?
Thank you for the time and as Strange said one my favorite lines of the MCU thus far, To all my supportive and awesome fans, readers, and followers: I Love You All in Every Universe. Sayonara.
