Over with Pietro and Wanda, Mystique urged them away from the theme park at gunpoint. A car waited just outside the main gate, likely meant to bring them to the 'aircraft' Magneto had mentioned. The sound of crashing metal and fighting echoed through the air.
Wanda looked at her brother grimly. She'd managed to make her eyes glow longer, signifying she was getting control of her Quirk back. Looking to his sister, Pietro nodded imperceptibly, as if telling her to 'get ready'.
A new sound had reached the blue woman's ears, and it was getting closer. Looking into the distance, she could see a lone figure riding a suped up motorcycle, clearly headed in her direction.
Mystique raised her pistol, getting ready to shoot, when Pietro made his move. With a burst of speed, he grabbed the assassin by the belt and flung her forward before she could fire, nearly collapsing in the process.
Taking her cue, Wanda dropped to all fours, tripping Mystique as she fell over. Moving fast, she fired a Hex Bolt from her hand, knocking the gun out of her hand.
This wouldn't deter the villain for long, however, as Mystique used a Capoeira style kick to knock Wanda's hand aside and get to her feet. Moving fast, she grabbed the still groggy Pietro and Judo threw him to the ground, knocking over both him and his sister.
She ran for her gun, but before she could grab it, a white, sticky rope latched onto her hand and yanked it back.
"Oh, no ya don't!" Called a voice.
At the end of the rope was a person clad in red and blue seated atop a motorcycle, the same person who should've been flat on the ground after a 200 story drop!
"Get over here!!" Peter yelled, pulling back with an unnatural strength that nearly dislocated the villain's arm. She went sailing through the air, slamming hard against the side of a Tilt-a-Whirl platform. Peter surveyed his handiwork, trapping her in place with a web blast.
"Heh, always wanted to try that," he grinned beneath his mask.
"And I've been wanting to try this," Wanda said, delivering a solid punch to Mystique's jaw, knocking her out cold. "Owww..." She muttered, briefly shaking out her hand.
Peter took off his mask and hugged the twins, "Boy am I glad you guys're ok!!" The siblings returned the hug in kind, before separating and getting their bearings.
"Pete, what'd we miss?" Asked Pietro. "What's up with the hostages? Is everyone safe??"
"It's a work in progress," Peter replied. "So far Iron Man's free, and he's fighting Magneto. That's the guy behind everything, but I'm guessing you already knew that. Why did he take you anyway?"
"...He's our father," Wanda replied bitterly.
Peter could feel his jaw unhinge as it dropped, "What!?"
"That's why he came here," Pietro added, shame in his voice. "This was never about some robbery or terrorist attack, it was a diversion so he could take us back to this 'Mutant utopia' he's creating."
"And he's having a hard time taking 'no' for an answer," put in Wanda.
"O-Ok," Peter said, trying to take in the magnitude of the bombshell dropped. "This is a lot... But we can cover all that later. Right now he's busy fighting Mr. Stark, so you've got a window to escape. Pietro, can you run yourself and Wanda somewhere safe?"
The platinum haired boy shook his head, "That stuff they injected us with is still affecting our Quirks." He tried to vibrate his hands, only able to do it for a few seconds. "I can probably use my speed in short bursts, but that's about it."
Wanda turned towards a bench and raised her hand. Her eyes glowed red and her fingers finally produced an aura to match. She was able to use her Quirk to lift the bench in the air a bit and set it back down, but she was clearly straining to do it.
"I'm starting to get some of my power back too, but it's definitely not strong enough to fight with," Wanda added reluctantly.
"Alright then," Peter quickly gestured to the motorcycle. "Take this bike and don't stop riding. As far as I know, the other villains are down, but someone needs to get outside this dead zone they made and call S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What're you gonna do?" Asked Pietro, jogging toward Spider-Cycle.
"Probably something dangerous and stupid," Peter replied, checking his web fluid. He was running low, but there was enough to hopefully last one more fight. "Now get! This window won't stay open long..."
Wanda hesitated for a moment, before wrapping her arms tightly around Peter. The boy's eyes widened briefly at the sudden contact, before she ran over to her brother and climbed onto the bike behind him.
"Remember, don't stop until you hear from me," Peter said firmly, pulling his mask back on.
"Be careful, Pete," Pietro nodded to him and revved up the motorcycle.
"You too," replied the boy. The twins sped off as Peter climbed up the nearby building onto the roof. Staring into the distance, a sight made his heart drop into his stomach, "Oh man..."
A cyclone of metal and debris filled the air. From within, Peter could just barely make out 2 shadows fighting it out, one of them seemed to have the other on the back foot. The bulkier one's definitely Mr. Stark, he thought. It looks like he's winning! This might be over quicker than I-
However, the figure in the cape lashed out suddenly, using larger debris to strike and bash the bulky Iron Man. Soon, he was trapped as each limb was trapped in a floating restraint, pulling in opposite directions.
Me and my big mouth... Peter groaned internally. Now what do we do!?
Looking around for options, his gaze landed on a series of international flags lined up in a row, each on a long, metal pole. He looked back over to the battle, seeing his hero unable to fight.
"Alright, dangerous and stupid it is," he said, jumping over towards the poles.
Iron Man struggled to escape his bindings, but even with his power boost, he was being held in a way that prevented him from properly utilizing it. And with the damage to his repulsers already, he couldn't shoot a blast at the villain. What's worse, the metal pelting against his armor from the cyclone was starting to take effect, denting and damaging his armor further.
"This wasn't a part of my plan," Magneto said, floating down towards him. "But I suppose vanquishing the so-called 'Number One Hero' will be a fitting opus to mark the return of my Brotherhood."
"Hhhhnnnngggghhh..." Peter strained as hard as he could, pulling back his web lines as far as he could manage. Each one was latched onto a flag pole, bending slightly backwards as the boy inched his way further away.
Beneath his arms, he'd sprayed webbing which connected from his biceps to his torso, forming a crude wing-suit of sorts. In his head, Peter ran quick mental calculations to determine his flight path.
Ok, the angle looks good, he thought. There's enough potential force built up, compensating for elevation, wind velocity, and whatever else is flying around up there. All I need now is a bit of luck, good timing, and a dated but fitting reference.
"Alright, let's do this..." Peter pulled back further, fine tuning his angle of trajectory before he took a deep breath. "LEEEEEROOOOYYYYYY..." Finally, he released the grip his feet had to the ground and rocketed through the sky. "...JEEEEEEENKIIIINNNSSSSSS!!!!!"
Adjusting his position into a more streamlined stance, he barreled towards the cyclone. Peter's Spider-Sense flared up, but the boy wouldn't be able to dodge every piece of scrap flying around him given his position. Bits of metal and debris crashed and scraped into him, ripping his costume, cutting his body, and breaking one of his eye lenses.
Peter grit his teeth, trying to ignore the pain as his target came into view: Magneto. Iron Man, still held in a precarious position. Beneath his helmet, the hero's eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of the human bullet that was Peter Parker traveling headlong towards Magneto.
But the villain noticed him too, and reacted, moving aside to avoid impact.
Crap... Peter thought, realizing he was gonna miss.
Then, he saw the trapped Iron Man, and thinking fast, adjusted his arms to alter his flight path.
This is gonna hurt, he cringed. But given that he had no other option available, Peter spread his arms out in front of him. In a flash, he made impact against Iron Man, the momentum breaking him out of his restraints and bringing them both to the ground.
Tony reacted quickly, pulling the boy in tight as he twisted to land on his back, taking the brunt of the impact, and they skidded to a halt on a rooftop full of ruins.
Peter rolled off the hero's chest, laying on his back as he struggled to get his bearings. Tony seemed to have taken less damage, given his protective armor, and he quickly turned to check on the boy.
"Kid! You alright?" He asked, his visor rising to reveal a worried face.
Peter pulled off his ruined mask and nodded, mentally shaking off the blow. "Owwww..." He groaned, "Wasn't exactly what I was going for, but at this point, I'll take it..."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief and knelt next to the boy. "Why'd you do that!?" He chided, "You were way too reckless!!"
"Says the guy fighting a metal manipulator while wearing a metal suit!" Peter quipped back, as a smirk began to grow on his face. "Yeah, it's reckless. But... It's a hero's job to save those in trouble, right?"
Tony was briefly taken aback, and couldn't help but chuckle at his own words being used against him, "Heh, I guess you're right."
The two looked up as Magneto summoned up even more metal debris into the air. It spiraled around the villain like a widening portal, reforming the cyclone.
"Whether I like it or not, I don't think Iron Man alone can get this done," said Tony. "So..." He extended a hand, "Can you lend me a hand?"
"Thought you'd never ask!" Peter grinned, taking the hero's hand as he was pulled up to his feet.
"First thing's first," Tony nodded, looking at Peter's messed up costume. "If we're gonna team up, you're not fighting in that. Hold still a second."
A crimson, metallic ribbon stretched out from the hero's gauntlet and traveled up Peter's arm, torso, and eventually surrounding his entire body. It seemed to implement the color scheme of his tattered costume; red and blue, black spiderweb detailing, and a large black spider on his chest with a glowing, blue outline.
"Now let's do this, Spider-Man!" Tony's visor went down and he got into a takeoff stance.
The metal ribbons covered Peter's head, forming a mask with glowing, light blue eyes.
"Right!" The teen called out, gathering himself to jump.
Magneto launched a wave of debris at the duo. Moving in sync, Iron Man took to the sky, while Spider-Man webbed up larger debris and used them to propel himself alongside the hero.
"So, I'm assuming you have a plan?" Asked Spider-Man.
"We need to grab and hold him," Iron Man replied. "I have something that'll finish the job, but it won't work unless keep him still."
"Got it!" Spider-Man nodded, launching another web line and yanking himself towards into the eye of the cyclone. Trusting his Spider Sense, the boy twisted and ducked whenever he could to avoid the larger flying projectiles. Smaller ones harmlessly bounced off his new suit, no longer a hindrance.
Iron Man blasted and punched at the debris, flying towards the villain. Thanks to his Iron Might enhancement, he was operating at 100% efficiency again. But he didn't have long, so the hero wanted this resolved fast.
"Insignificant pests!!" Magneto roared, ripping up more metal from the rides to use as weapons against the approaching duo. "You're foolish enough to think you can stop me!? I am no common criminal!!" He went on, shooting the metal out at them. "I am your evolutionary superior, the savior of Mutantkind, the Master of Magnetism!!!"
"Yeah? Well Brawn got wood!!!" Called a voice, as a HUGE tree came whistling through the air, into the debris stream, and taking the impact until it was completely imbedded with chunks of metal.
"What!?" The villain jerked his head towards the direction the tree came from. And there was Amadeus Cho, in his Brawn form, face contorted with rage with Flash riding his shoulder. Just behind, Luke's hand was palming his face, while Ava and Danny wore neutral expressions.
"Dude, seriously?" Luke muttered.
"Forget it," put in Ava. "I think those two are past the point of thinking before they speak..."
Danny simply nodded as the trio watched Flash use his tendrils to throw several car sized chunks of concrete at the villain.
"You're the one who doesn't know when he's beat, asshole!!" Flash yelled, flipping the bird in Magneto's direction.
"Puny Geezer!!" Roared Brawn, thumping his chest with one hand. "Come face Brawn like a man!!!"
"Rrrrrrggghhhh!!!" Magneto was incensed at the provocation, sending metal rails and bars toward the boys before refocusing on Iron Man and Spider-Man, this time, launching steel girders he'd obtained from the construction site.
But suddenly, a blast of energy incinerated them. Up on a nearby rooftop, clad in her armor, was Riri.
"I won't let you stop them!!" She exclaimed, charging up another blast and firing. Her armor seemed to barely hold together, with sparks flying and parts starting to break off. It was enough, however, as the two heroes drew even closer, unimpeded by the metal storm.
"IT'S OVERRRRR!!!" Magneto was beyond reason now. He reformed cyclone of metal, increasing both speed and size as he attracted even more parts into it.
As he went to strike them, something made him freeze in place, as if he was being grabbed by an unseen force. Below, Pietro and Wanda had returned on the Spider-Cycle. The young speedster got them close enough as his twin sister, straining valiantly, used her power to hold him still. Her eyes glowed red and her hands had their familiar, albeit flickering aura to match.
"Hey old man!" Pietro called up, "You wanted an answer from us!? Well here ya go!! We're gonna be heroes!!! And that means if you're hurting our friends, then we're gonna take you down!!!"
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. Magneto lashed out in blind rage, breaking free of his daughter's Quirk as her hold wasn't as strong as normal. She passed out as a stream of metal beams was directed towards her and her brother.
Pietro, acting quickly, grabbed his sister and with all the speed he could muster, then leapt off the bike to safety. The beams crushed the motorcycle, and it burst into pieces.
The villain, seemingly realizing what he'd nearly done, broke out of his rage. The metal in the air suddenly stopped spinning as Magneto grappled with his actions.
"NOW!!!" Iron Man called, seizing the moment. Spider-Man swung forward, using the last of his webbing to wrap up the villain before leaping aside as Iron Man flew into Magneto, clutching him tightly, "Friday, fire!!!!"
Suddenly, a beam of energy shot down from the sky, engulfing the two men in bright light. Spider-Man shielded his eyes, braced against the burst of wind that nearly pulled him off the building he stuck to. His classmates ducked for cover, and with only Riri and Cho able to withstand the wind standing upright.
Finally, the smoke cleared with the rising sun. Iron Man and Magneto could be seen in the same position. Eventually, the hero slackened his hold, and Magneto dropped to the ground, unconscious. Iron Man struggled to stay upright, nearly falling over until he was supported. Turning his head, he saw Spider-Man, exhausted and aching, but still there to help.
His visor went up, and he smiled down at the boy, "Nice work, kid."
Spider-Man's mask slid back into his neck like grains of sand, as Peter Parker grinned tiredly back at his hero as the sun began to rise before them.
It wasn't long before agents of S.H.I.E.L.D came in to transport the captured members of the Brotherhood to a SuperMax prison facility. Phil Coulson himself would personally oversee the details of Magneto's confinement, ensuring there would be nothing metal for him to manipulate, even though he was wearing Quirk dampening restraints.
Surprisingly, the villain did not resist. He seemed almost resigned to his fate, and did not look anyone in the eye. From a safe distance, Pietro and Wanda watched as their father was taken away.
From a higher vantage point, Iron Man watches the proceedings as he heard the familiar sound of someone landing next to him. Spider-Man looked up at the hero, who raised his visor to chat face to face.
"How's it going down there?" Tony asked.
"Security system's back online," Peter confirmed, his mask slinking away to reveal his face. "But Toni's back at the tower with a few of the rescued techs to check over everything."
"Thorough, just like her old man," the hero smiled, thinking about his mentor. He nodded down to the wreckage, where a crew was gathering the remains of the prototype motorcycle. "Looks like your new ride didn't make it though," he commented.
"Bye Spider-Cycle," Peter lamented sadly as he watched them take away the parts. "You were fun while you lasted..."
"So, I take it you know why Gandalf showed up unannounced?" Iron Man watched as the Magneto was loaded aboard a Quinjet with an armed battalion of S.H.I.E.L.D agents watching for the slightest twitch of movement.
Peter exhaled, "They told me. Pietro and Wanda, I mean. Just before I met up with you."
Tony nodded, "As crazy a night as we had, those two're probably dealing with the worst of the fallout. It's not everyday you find out your long lost father is one of the most dangerous criminals in the world."
"Yeah..." Peter said, watching the twins walk away as the Quinjet took off. "Like something out of Jerry Springer."
"Speaking of which," the hero turned to face Peter again, a serious expression on his face. "I think that's something I'm gonna leave out of the official report. If word gets out why Magneto was really there in the first place, it would put a big target on their backs."
"No, I get it," replied Peter. "It's not my secret to tell either. But if they ever do wanna talk about it, I'll be there."
"Good," Tony nodded. "But seriously, you did well today Peter. You and your classmates went above and beyond these last several hours."
"That's what heroes do, right?" Peter looked up at his idol. "You told me that once, remember?"
"How could I forget?" Tony smiled down at the boy. "It was the day we first met. And you've been living up to those words every day since then. I'm proud of you, kid."
Peter's mask went back up over his head, hiding his beet red face over the sudden praise.
"I-I was just trying to help, that's all..." he said, embarrassedly scratching the back of his head. "But that sky beam attack you hit Magneto with, what the heck was that?"
"Energy from the planet Jupiter," Tony replied nonchalantly.
Peter blinked beneath his mask, "Exsqueeze me?"
"Don't study other planets much, eh kid?" The hero grinned. "Branch out a bit, you never know where it'll take you. Me? I learned that Jupiter's Magnetic Field is 10 times that of Earth's. All it takes is a few well placed satellites that'll siphon off some of that energy, send it down to Earth-"
"And it negates his Quirk's ability to affect our Magnetic Fields!" Peter finished, full realizing the science behind the plan.
"Instant Anti-Magneto," Tony pounded an armored fist into his palm. "Of course, it takes a while to get that stuff sent across multiple satellites through deep space. So I had to stall for time until it got here. And I'll be honest, I thought he had me there until you came in and broke his hold on me."
"Heh, and here I thought I wouldn't get a rep beating an old man," Peter grinned slightly.
"Huh?" Tony glanced down in confusion.
"It was a thing with another villain earlier. You had to be there," the boy clarified.
"Ok..." Tony shrugged.
"In any case, it all worked out in the end, and nobody was seriously hurt," Peter gave a thumbs up. "I'd call that a win for the good guys."
"Still, it kinda sucks your suit got ruined," Tony added. "Especially if it was one you made yourself."
"Well, at least I got a new one out of it," Peter grinned, testing his range of motion in the sleek costume. "I mean, this suit is amazing! It even smells like a new car!"
"Well don't get used to it, I was only letting you borrow the thing," Tony placed a hand on Peter's shoulder, and the nanites retreated back into his armor. The boy's ruined costume was a clear downgrade.
"What!?" Peter looked at his shabby appearance. "You mean I don't get to keep it??"
"You kidding me?" Tony looked incredulously at his protégé, "That's Vibranium-infused nanotech you were wearing. Do you have any idea how much it's worth?? Besides, it hasn't been fully tested yet."
"Aw c'mon!" The boy pleaded, "I think I tested it pretty well earlier! Besides, I thought you said I'd be getting an 'ultra modern uniform' someday?"
"Yeah, someday," Tony smirked. "As in, when you graduate. I let you wear this because it was an emergency. And it only held together because it was still linked to my armor's sub programming. On its own right now, it wouldn't do anything at all. Do you have the time, money, and technology to make it work on your own?"
Peter considered this, and sighed, "No, I guess not..."
"Think of this as a teachable moment, kid," Tony patted his chosen successor on the back. "A hero is not defined by their suit, but by their strength of character."
"Except you literally are defined by your suits, ya big hypocrite!" Peter playfully shoved his hero, and the two chuckled together.
"Speaking of suits, I'd better go talk to our other young hero," Tony spied Riri, who was standing over her destroyed armor. "I still have enough time left in this armor to at least do that for her. I'll catch up with you a bit later."
With that, he closed his visor and took off, leaving Peter behind to ponder the events of the last several hours.
A somewhat downtrodden Riri Williams began to hoist parts of her once sleek suit of armor onto a hover cart meant for construction equipment. She was having a bit of trouble moving the torso, given its size and weight, and the girl strained to move it closer.
Suddenly, the sound of repulsers filled the air as Iron Man landed next to her. Riri looked on on shock as he stood upright, his visor rising to reveal a kind smile on the hero's face.
"Need a hand?" He asked, placing his hand on the metal torso.
"U-Um, sure!" The girl stammered, and together they lifted the rest of the big piece onto the truck. It buckled slightly under the weight, but swiftly compensated and righted itself.
"Whew, thought I was never gonna move that bit," She exhaled. "Normally I have an antigrav lift that I display the whole suit on, makes it easier to move. But it would've taken too long to go back to the tower and get it, not that it would've fit correctly now..."
"Impressive," Iron Man nodded. "And I don't just mean what you did with my old box of scraps." He picked the red and gold helmet up off the ground, offering it to Riri. "Your actions today saved a lot of lives, not to mention helped stop one of the most powerful villains in the world."
Riri blushed somewhat, taking her helmet. "Thank you, sir," she said quietly, her introverted personality coming back in the presence of her idol.
"You're meant for more than just lab work, I can feel it in my bones," Tony went on. "Say the word, and a spot in the Heroes Course is all yours."
The girl's eyes went as wide as dinner plates, "Y-You mean it!?"
"I've got a bit of sway with the Principal and the directory board," he grinned. "One of the perks of being the Number One Hero! And you've got more than it takes, believe me. What do you say?"
"...This is such an honor, Mr. Stark. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart..." Riri said haltingly.
"I'm sensing a 'but' here," Tony raised an eyebrow.
"But..." Riri continued. "If I were to transfer up, that would mean taking the place of a student who already deserves to be in the Heroes Course. And I couldn't do that! So for now, I must respectfully decline."
The hero nodded understandingly, "That's fair enough. Well if you change your mind or someone else flunks out, I'll make it happen."
Riri smiled, "I can live with that. I still have so much to learn in the Support Course. Plus..." She looked over at Peter running by in his disheveled costume, "I already have people who're depending on my help. It'd suck if I couldn't do anything for them!"
Tony couldn't help but laugh good naturedly, "Spoken like a true inventor! Next time you're up for an internship, let me know. Maybe we can give that armor of yours some of the ol' Stark magic!"
The girl grinned from ear to ear, "I'd love to!!" Her dream of following in Tony Stark's footsteps was well underway.
"Well I'd better get going," Tony's visor went down and covered his face. "The grunts with S.H.I.E.L.D want me to file a report about what happened, and I can only put it off for so long."
He launched up and away from the girl, landing on the roof of the former Avengers Tower, where he finally jettisoned his specialty armor. The hero collapsed, coughing slightly as he struggled to stand up.
"Are you alright?" Asked a voice. Tony turned to see Shuri standing next to him, hand extended. He smiled gratefully, taking her hand and allowing the scientist to pull him up.
"Nothing a little R and R won't fix," Tony replied. "I know I pushed myself in that fight, but wearing the older armor helped a ton. Hopefully it won't affect me as much as usual."
"I'll run some tests after you've had a chance to rest a bit," said Shuri. "Either way, that fight must've been draining on your body."
"Yeah..." Tony nodded regretfully. "Won't be much longer now, til Iron Man steps out of the spotlight."
"At least there will be plenty of heroes ready to fill the void," Shuri smiled gently. "I already know of two."
Tony gazed out as he saw Peter leapt off the rooftop towards Riri, who was pushing her hover cart back his way. Together, they moved the heavy load towards the front of the tower, where their classmates were waiting. And Tony smiled, knowing full well that Shuri was right.
Some time later, Cain Marko, the man known as the Juggernaut, was being transported via an armored van. The man himself was removed from his red suit, and restrained in such a way that he couldn't move, much less activate his Quirk. An armed agent sat in front of him, weapon at the ready, just in case.
Suddenly, with a burst of red smoke, a figure appeared within the compartment. Before the agent could comprehend what was happening, he was swiftly knocked out by his head being slammed into the wall.
Juggernaut looked on curiously as the man turned around. He was red with a devil's visage, and wore a finely tailored suit.
"Cain Marko," said the man, a distinct German accent in his voice. "At last, we meet."
"Who the hell are you?" Asked Marko.
"A simple messenger," the devil man replied. "But you may call me Azazel."
"...Yer with the League," Marko said. "I've heard of ya."
"Und we have heard of you," Azazel nodded. "I come to extend an offer of friendship. Mein boss is recruiting new members for an important task."
"Don't need friends," Marko grunted. "But for the right price, I could be persuaded to join..."
"Your reward is your freedom," Azazel said bluntly. "Und the chance at revenge against those who'd imprisoned you. With that in mind, do you wish to remain chained?"
Marko grinned darkly, "What's the job?"

Barber's Chair
• The title of this chapter has multiple meanings. Obviously, there's the title of the MHA movie, but it can also apply towards Tony and Peter teaming up. A less obvious one, though one I prefer to lean towards, is Pietro and Wanda firmly cementing their status as future heroes when they work together against their villainous father.
• And here we briefly get the classic underarm webs from the original comic suits in the form of a crude wing-suit.
• Bit of a dated reference, but the guy's running headfirst into the enemy he's woefully unprepared to fight. If that's not a Leroy Jenkins, I don't know what is.
• The scene of Iron Man and Spider-Man joining forces against Magneto is lifted directly from the fanart by DuckLordEthan. The Vibranium-mesh costume Peter during this fight is the one that debuted during the All New, All Different initiative at Marvel.
I hope you all enjoyed this mini-arc! I'm going to take a brief hiatus to get a breather, then plan out my next chapters before I start writing. Hopefully I don't keep you waiting too long, True Believers. Season 3 of My Marvel Academia is just around the corner!!
In the meantime, I'll be holding a Q and A in a week's time. So PM any questions you have for me and I'll do my best to answer them!!
