Work Text
Heya, readers. The reason for me to create this fic is simple, I was doing a bet from my little sisters between creating a Barbie story or a reaction about superheroes. I chose the latter cause I've every superhero movie, series, and cartoons throughout my entire life.This reaction fic is inspired by the work of Zayden_StormVoid's work, Welcome to the MCU (originally made here in AO3, available in FFN.net), I asked if I can recreate his work without completely copying it and he said go for it. I've been needed to have some tips and advises on it so, it may take awhile as I'm busy on other fics if you read them.Thanks for your patience and as always, Go Beyond, Plus Ultra.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
[Location: Observational Plane, The Fifth Dimension]
Uatu, former member of the Order of the Watchers and current available Watcher, observes the Multiverse once more for who knows how long.Not long after the fight against his predecessors with his team, Captain Carter— may she rest in peace—, Kahhori, Storm, and Byrdie the Duck, and managed to change their minds and started to see the Multiverse from a different perspective.Eminence, Incarnate, and Executioner had decided to stay their current spot to think their actions, leaving Uatu the last Watcher to guard the Multiverse.Uatu looked at the last universe he observed with sadness. It's a universe where a race called Mutants have been nearly extinct with only a 200-year-old Mutant named Logan saved a young girl of his flesh and blood named Laura. Seeing that man had his final moments with his daughter before death reached brought Uatu to tears as he knew it's already too late for him to intervene and decided to see it through until its done.As the weary Watcher heads to sleep, he heard a faint cracking sound from beyond the Nexus and decided to check it out.After a long while, Uatu notices a crack on one of the universes. It looks like a tiny shattered space but as you looked closely, there’s a world full of superpowered humans and schools that teach heroism.The Watcher notices one side of the cracks and sees a terrifying fate. Cities destroyed, lives were lost and unnecessary sacrifices for a flawed system.Uatu: 'This is troubling. I haven't learned anything about this universe. Best learn about this one before thinking on what to do with this situation.'As he opens the universe, he saw all from the beginning to the end and everything in between. The Beginning of Superpowers called Quirks, the Age of Heroes and the battles throughout 200 or more years.Uatu: 'I finally understand of this universe and it's parallel branches of reality. How am I gonna help this universe if all the events lead to the same thing? The end of everything. Hmm... Aha!'
[Location: Principal Nezu's Office, U.A., Japan]
If Nezu could speak selfishly, he was beginning to see Midoriya as a favorite student of his, perhaps a successor of his own brilliant mind as he is successor to All Might and the Quirk of One For All.As Nezu entered his office, he was greeted to the sight of a large black box, laying on his desk. Nezu was momentarily perplexed at the mysterious object, more so when he failed to recall any updates or messages about a package from any of the teachers. Nezu called in Hound Dog to meet him in his office, before preceding to investigate the box himself for the moment.Nezu propped himself up to his desk and inspected the box carefully. It was large, as big as the rodent principal himself, red techno lines around it, and detailed with weird markings and symbols that Nezu has no knowledge or recollection over. He sniffed and inspected the box carefully, seeing if it was a trap or even a bomb sent by the League of Villains, to which he found no evidence of.Nezu then noticed a note at the top of the box. Nezu picked it up and opened it carefully, before reading the letter.Hound Dog entered Nezu's office and asked "Grrr... You wanted to see me Sir? Grrr."Nezu set down the note and said, in his usually cheerful voice "I wish for you to inspect this box for any unsavory elements that I failed to find, while I inform the teachers and our guests of a meeting."
[Later that Day...]
A hour or two later, Nezu sat in a chair in the teacher's meeting room, the seats beside him occupied by the teachers and guest pro heroes around a large wooden table. The teachers that were there included a retired All Might, Eraserhead, Midnight, Present Mic, Cementoss, Snipe, Hound Dog, Power Loader, Thirteen, Ectoplasm, and Recovery Girl. The guest Pro Heroes included the new Number 1 Pro Hero, Endeavor, Hawks, Miruko, Edgeshot, The Wild Wild Pussycats, Gran Torino, Fatgum, Ryukyu, Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, and Death Arms.Once all were seated, Nezu spoke, "Thank you for coming in so quickly."Endeavor growled and asked "Why did you call all of us in here, Nezu? It better be a good reason to disrupt my father-son time with my Shoto!"All Might faintly shook his head, partly in amusement at Endeavor's loud attitude, and mostly in a weird feeling of deja vu.Nezu nodded and said "Yes, I must do apologize for asking you all here on such short notice, but it is of a matter of importance that couldn't be ignored."All Might chimed in with "Does it have to do with the League of Villains?" The heroes perked up at the mention of the Villain group, their absence of action in recent weeks being of disturbing notice. Hawk's left eye made the subtlest twitch, given the League's rise to power over the Meta Liberation Army and the formation of the new Paranormal Liberation Front.Nezu shook his head and said "No, it does not. It has to deal with this mysterious package that was delivered to my office." Nezu snapped his fingers and Hound Dog rose from his seat and brought out the black box onto the table they all sat around."Is this the mysterious package?" Midnight asked."Indeed it is, Ms. Midnight." Nezu responded. "As I walked into my office this morning, this mysterious box was on my desk. I called in Mr. Hound Dog to inspect the package for any harmful substances inside it, to which we found none. However, the box contained a note on top from its sender."Aizawa, or Eraserhead as he is mostly referred as, yawn and said "Well them ,what does it say, so I can go back to sleep." The heroes and teachers sweat dropped at Eraser's antics, while Hawks and Nezu just chuckled.Nezu picked up the paper and read it out loud. "Dear U.A. High School Faculty, I am Uatu. I do not have a last name so Uatu would do, so no need for any formalities, I write this message to you knowing that you received my little gift for you all. To waste no time on time-consuming pleas and reassurances that I'm not a prankster or any other known threat, I'll cut straight to the point. In your universe, I am what you may call sort of a God if you will. But I am known as The Watcher, as an observer and a guide to the Multiverse. And yes, the multiverse is an actual thing and I am telling the truth so no need for the eye rolls or scoffs Mr. Aizawa and Endeavor."The Heroes looked to the aforementioned heroes to find Endeavor snapping his head towards the message in surprised alarm, like his thoughts were just read. Same with Aizawa, his eyes snapping fully open and awake. The look of confirmation that they were doing the exact same things at the moment it was read was worryingly intriguing.Nezu continued. "Any who, I have been watching your universe, and the other alternate universes to which yours are closely connected towards, and thought to give you all a little gift. A gift with relevance towards your troubling times and one that may prove fruitful for you and your students. The content of this box include several videos that contain the adventures of another multiverse timeline that is connected to yours via many individuals of your world, including yourselves and your students, as multiversal counterparts. In simple terms, its basically movies of the lives and adventures of you and your students as heroes and villains in this other universe.""Or at least in any other universes, they are seen as movies and... you know I won't go too far explaining, otherwise I fear the very fabric of your reality will start to split at the seams."The heroes looked to the box with shock, that, if it is to be believed, it contains footage of themselves and the U.A. students in this alternate reality. Some were skeptical of it, but who wouldn't when you have someone claiming they are a God of the Multiverse?"If any of you still don't believe my words, I have detailed proof and secrets of certain heroes and hero students that they wouldn't tell anybody else at the end of this note." Nezu continued reading. "I would know because I have watched and seen them myself, in this timeline and many others. Just know that this purpose that I was tasked to is both a blessing and a curse. Once you know what is on this box, it cannot be shared to anyone else or forgotten, and the views that your students and yourselves have on each other may be permanently changed, but I hope that change is for the better. To make stronger bonds with each other and learn the lessons that these stories tell to grow stronger and make sure that the mistakes and failings of your world are corrected before it is too late.""Plus I thought it would be enjoyable and fascinating to share these stories with others! Sincerely, Uatu. P.S., I will be waiting for the success of your student Midoriya Izuku, Future Greatest Hero of All Time. P.P.S., There will be someone else to join you and the others so would you kindly insist refrain your student Bakugo Katsuki on attacking her."The heroes were now completely shell-shocked at the news they heard. All Might smiled brightly at the final note, that his successor will truly become the Greatest Hero of All Time. Gran Torino, Aizawa, and Nezu also shared smirked at the thought of their student surpassing them all. Though Nezu couldn't also help but feel concerned for this supposed deity's seemingly concerning statement towards the clearly referred to Bakugo Katsuki. Why would an immortal god-like being be so negative towards one of their students, even if Bakugo was more violent and narcissistic.Of course, the heroes and teachers asked questions about the validity of this message, most vocally among them being Endeavor, who, while he chose to associate his training to have helped Midoriya achieved this supposed future title, was slightly pissed at the thought of Shoto not becoming Number 1. Aizawa and Vlad King too were skeptical, protective of their students and so on. Nezu went up to each of them whispered something to each of them. Results included Endeavor paling drastically with a look of shame on his face, Vlad King scoffing angrily in begrudging acceptance, and Aizawa's tired, bored eyes shooting up in shock alarm.After everyone accepted the note, with an extra whisper towards Hawks that had the relaxed winged hero now guarded and and serious, being true, Snipe asked, "Alright, what the note says is true and we apparently have some cosmic god-like person on our side somewhere. But the real question now is, what do we do now?"Nezu smiled and spoke up "I'm glad you asked that, Mr. Snipe, as I in fact actually have something in mind before you came in here. I propose we proceed with what this Uatu wished for us to do with this information."
[Meanwhile...]
Over at Class-1A's Heights Alliance dorms, the students there were sitting around the living room doing their own things.Kirishima and Bakugo were spending time arm wrestling, while Sero, Mineta, and Kaminari egged the two on, much to the redhead's hype and Bakugo's annoyance. Sato was teaching Shoji how to cook and Koda was playing with his pet bunny Yuwai with Tokoyami, the emo lord tyring and failing to hold back a smile at the adorable creature's cuddliness.Ojiro was quietly reading a book about martial arts techniques whilst Aoyama was posing dramatically to absolutely no one. Iida was conversing with Todoroki, the blue haired teen waving his arms like a robot while the half hot-half cold user listened silently whilst eating some cold soba. Togata would pay against Amajiki in a fighting game, to which Mirio graciously lost and praised the shy teen, much to said shy teen's embarrassment.The girls were conversing among themselves, with Uraraka and Asui detailing about their internship with Ryukyu while Nejire asked the girls random questions rapidly. Jiro would talk with Yaomomo about school stuff, while Ashido and Hagakure gossiped about Bakugo and Kirishima spending a lot of time together.However, the girls would simultaneously freeze in their conversations and look upon the same direction at the group of people across from them. Midoriya Izuku was spending time with Eri and Kota, each of which were spending time with him while Eraser and Mandaley were in a meeting. Midoriya would spend time doing several animal noises and imitations, much to Eri's and Kota's delightful laughter. Kota would also try to impress his idol by showing off his strength with his punches and his Quirk, which Izuku praised to the boy's proud smile. Eri would also ask for a piggyback ride to which the hero Deku accepted and ran with Eri on his shoulders, running away from Kota pretending to be a Villain.All the guys would notice the three's laughs and playtime and smiled at the sight. Iida would dramatically praise Midoriya for being a doting father-figure to Eri and Kota, while Todoroki smiled at Izuku's success at befriending and helping Kota. Everyone else would look at the scene with amusement and happiness, except for Bakugo, who's grip became so strong that Kirishima had to harden his hand avoid his bones from breaking when ash-blonde jealously noticed the reactions from the girls.The girls all looked to Izuku playing with the two kids with soft smiles, shining eyes, and warm blushes on their cheeks.Hagakure Toru giggled at Izuku's impressions and almost shrieked in glee at Eri's smile and laugh. Her mind started drawing up fantasies pf her and Izuku playing around with little care in the world, him smiling at her, regardless of her looks, or lack thereof. She then dreamed of a world where they didn't have powers and would accept her for who she was, looks regardless.Ashido Mina's heart was but a drum solo at a Dragonforce concert at seeing Midori's kind, joyful, and warm nature. She loved seeing the green-haired teen having fun with the two kids and bringing such smiles to their faces. Mina dreamily remembered the fun times she had with Izuku and fantasized about Midoriya picking her up in his arms, dancing under the moonlight on top of the roof, her eyes on his, their hands on each other and...Mina dissolved into a blushing, drooling mess after that, consumed her fantasies as they look a 'perverted path'.Asui Tsuyu looked at the green-haired teen playing with the kids and couldn't help but remember her times with her siblings and smiled. She saw the kids look of adoration and love towards Izuku as a testament to the green bean's heroic, inspiring, loving nature and yearned to be a fellow recipient of his charm, but in a more romantic way. It took all of Tsu's willpower to keep herself from saying anything blunt or just rush over and demand the affection that she longed for.Hado Nejire saw the green-haired cinnamon roll playing with the two kids with both envy and loving yearn. She wished to be able to be as close to Izuku as the kids and more. She fell for the teen after the two ended up conversing in a talk, a talk that afterwards she was informed by Mirio and Tamaki as so fast that they couldn't understand a single word. She saw firsthand his heroic spirit, his caring and kind nature, and his briliant and curious mind that rivaled her own. Nejire envied the two kids for Izuku's undivided attention but quickly wondered what it would be like to have two kids look at Izuku And her in the same light, witht his two arms wrapped around each other, rings in their fingers.Yaoyorozu Momo smiled warmly at Izuku's fatherly and loving nature towards Eri and Kota. Seeing the green-haired teen so carefree and happy with the two kids made her nearly swoon, seeing him praise and sternly yet playfully berate the two kids for their actions made her heart soar with pride and love. Her mind ended up going to dreamland as well, where she imagined her and Izuku laying in a couch, hugging each other with love and care, Eri and Kota cuddling by them with smiles, Izuku's hand rubbing her swollen belly with care and love. Momo quickly shook her head from the fantasies, blushing furiously and mentally berating herself for imaging something so much and, depressingly, impossible to happen in her doubt-filled mind.As for Uraraka Ochaco, seeing Deku play with Eri and Kota made her smile warmly at how simple yet pure the scene was. It was so simple, yet spoke so much of Deku and his nature, Eri and Kota's admiration and love towards the teen like he was their own father, and just how much Deku embodied being a smiling hero who cared for other more than himself, a smiling herp taht, she can admit now, fell for hard.As for Jiro Kyoka, she remembered her time with Midoriya during band practice and his intentions for Eri's forgotten smile. His time with Eri and Kota endearing, and saw that he genually enjoyed making the two kids smile in joy and happiness and couldn't help but have her mind flashback to the times where she practiced music with her parents and loved it. She's happy to have a friend like him.All of them were quickly cut from what they were doing when Aizawa came into the building and asked for everybody to line up. After a brief walk, all of Class-1A, along with the Big Three, Eri, and Kota went to Gym Gamma, where they met up with all of Class-1B, the teachers, the Pro Hero guests, Shinso from General Studies, and Hatsume working on a device with Power Loader in the background. They also saw Cementoss creating a large structure with Ectoplasm setting up seating on its rows.Nezu spoke up "Welcome everybody and I apologize for asking you all here in such short notice. You see the purpose for all of you here has to do with this note and package I received from an unknown sender. Allow me to read the note for you all."Nezu re-read the note to the students, omitting the last part but All Might was still smiling proudly at his successor and Bakugou couldn't help but feel another comical tick appear on his head and feel another sudden surge of rage and jealousy towards Deku for the third time this day for some reason.After Nezu was done with the note and the students all absorbed the information with shock and surprise, Nezu asked for any questions. Iida raised his hand and asked for the specific purpose for them gathering at Gym Gamma and if it had to do with watching the videos from this Uatu person.Nezu responded with "Why yes indeed, that is the reason for you all being here. Right now, Ms. Hatsume is currently working on a device with Power Loader to properly showcase the contents of these videos. I proposed with the heroes and teachers to allow you all to see the footage in these videos to learn the lessons that these movies teach and to perhaps gain further ideas and new training ideas from these other versions of ourselves."Shinso raised his hand and asked "Alright, I get why they are all here, including the crazy pink chick," "HEY!" Hatsume heard and complained. "But why am I here? I'm not in the Hero Course, yet at least."Eraserhead spoke "We figured that since you will be joining the Hero Course in the 2nd Year that you should take this moment to likewise catch up with the rest of the students and to perhaps grow more connected with them in this experience." Shinso nodded, understand and smiling at the reason.Nezu spoke and said "Well then, now that all is settled, how about we get seated. Is the Device ready to go?" Nezu directed the last part to the two mechanics.Power Loader, before he could answer, was cut off by an enthusiastic Hatsume, "All's ready Principal Nezu, sir! Meet my newest baby: the Hatsume Universal Link Kaster! This baby of mine will surely allow us to watch the contents of this other little baby here safely and without triggering any fail safes, if there are any, that would mistake us for copying the data or tampering with it!"Nezu chuckled at the girl's enthusiasm, while the students who knew of her previous 'babies' shuddered and feared for their lives, fearing that the machine will explode at any moment.Nezu stopped the audience from taking in their seats, spoke "There's one more person who will be joining us today. We have just to wait for her arrival."Everyone became confused as to who this mysterious guest arriving. That question answered as the side wall became a colourful shattered glass and someone came out of it.She was a fair-skinned girl who was prone to blushing and was frequently described as having a pretty face. She had inward-tilting yellow eyes with thin slit-like irises, somewhat resembling those of a cat, and her wide mouth was also rather feline, as her canines were pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance. Her hair was a pale, ash-blonde color and was styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs framed her face.She looks to be in the students' age or at least a bit older. She wears a plain seifuku with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which was paired with a red scarf that she tied loosely below. Over this, she wore an oversized beige cardigan with a long hem and cuffs, and pockets on either side, the right one was shown to hold a number of trinkets on either a keychain or a cellphone strap. She sported knee-length black socks and dark brown outdoor school shoes. She sometimes wore a tan pink duffel coat along with a pink scarf. Also, she wears a metallic collar on her neck with high-tech safety lock.All the students, U.A. faculty and Pro Heroes were in shock in realising who this mysterious guest is: Toga Himiko.Toga was in a daze as she unaware of her surrounding for a few moments until she realised where she is. As she tries to run, Aizawa uses his capture scarf to trap her.
