Author's Note

Hello everyone and welcome. It's time for the interlude. Please enjoy.

______________________________________

Everyone entered the break room and spotted more additions.

"So you really are going to add more to this place after every movie." Iida said.

"Of course. What, did you think I was lying?" Trixter asked. "Well, let's start with the Hero Wall."

Everyone approached the Hero Wall. There were new portraits, as expected. However, there was also a new category next to the 'Counterparts'. This category was labeled 'Honorable Mentions'.

"Honorable Mentions?" Sato questioned.

"Don't worry about that for now." Trixter waved their hand.

Everyone looked at the new portrait under the 'Heroes' tag.

Hero: 'Bruce Banner; Gamma Hero: Hulk' Quote: "You won't like me when I'm angry." (I know he doesn't say it in the movie, but I had to put it here anyway)

Counterpart: 'Eri; Cursed Child' Quote: "Please... Don't go..."

The audience was surprised. Banner is such a terrifyingly powerful force. And the person most similar to him is... Eri? This sweet little girl?

"Allow me to explain. Bruce Banner possesses an extraordinary power. One that is both useful and dangerous. He has been hunted down by those who wish to take advantage of his power. And he often winds up bringing harm to the people around him." Trixter began. "And yet, despite having such an unfortunate life, Banner is not spiteful towards anyone. He is passive. He hates and fears himself more than anyone else. In the end, Banner is a man with a power that has only ever brought him misery in a world that would sooner hunt him down than help him. But that doesn't stop him from caring about others over himself."

The audience frowned a little upon hearing the summary. It just reminded them how unfortunate Banner's life really is. And how harsh it was of them to judge him for something he had so little control of. He was dangerous, sure. But that wasn't his fault.

"And then there's Eri." Trixter continued. "Like Bruce, Eri possesses a power that she has no control over. This lack of control caused her to harm someone very close to her."

"Who?" Kirishima asked.

"Papa..." Eri mumbled.

"What?" Uraraka questioned.

"When Eri first manifested her Quirk, it went out of control. Her father, not knowing what her Quirk does, reached out to her in an attempt to help, only for him to be rewound into nothingness." Trixter explained.

"For real...?" Kaminari said.

"That's terrible..." Izuku said.

"It's not that rare for accidents like that to happen. Quirks are unpredictable." Mic said, recalling how his cries as a baby damaged his parents ears.

"After the incident, Eri's mother began seeing her as 'cursed' and disowned her. She was then left with her grandfather, the leader of the Shie Hassaikai, who then left her in Overhaul's care." Trixter continued.

"Why the hell would he do that?!" Bakugo asked.

"He simply trusted Overhaul. He had no idea what would happen to Eri. So it's not really his fault." Trixter said. "Anyway, it's safe to say that Eri has had an incredibly rough and unfortunate life. Killing someone dear to her, witnessing her actions result in the deaths of others, and being experimented on. All because she has a power she never even asked for. It doesn't help that just about everyone she's ever met treats her like she's some monster." Trixter concluded.

"Damn..." Mina said.

"She really is like Bruce..." Toga said sadly.

Izuku felt incredibly bad for Eri. He thought his life was rough, but her's is so much worse. And her life is only bad BECAUSE she has a Quirk. Once again, he was seeing an example of how having a Quirk isn't always a blessing.

"And yet, just like Banner, Eri still values others far more than herself." Trixter concluded.

Nobody knew what to say. They knew Eri has had it rough. Some even figured out that Eri wasn't just defending Banner during the film simply because she felt bad for him, but because of something more personal. But this? They didn't know she related to Banner THAT much.

Eri herself was also stunned. She couldn't believe that she was chosen as Mr. Hulk's counterpart. She felt a connection with him during the movie, but she didn't think she was the most like him. She had assumed someone else would fit better. After all, Mr. Hulk actually managed to help people in the end. That's something Eri could never do. Right?

"Now, while Eri was the most similar to Banner, there was someone else who could have also served as a suitable counterpart." Trixter pointed at the portrait under the 'Honorable Mentions' tag.

Honorable Mention: 'Fumikage Tokoyami; Shadow Bird' Quote: "Revelry in the dark"

"So the 'Honorable Mentions' tag is meant for those who also share significant similarities with the individual in question, but simply weren't the best choice." Nighteye said.

"That's correct." Trixter nodded.

"I take it you picked me because of my Quirk." Tokoyami guessed.

"Yep. Much like Banner, you possess a powerful ability that, under the right circumstances, can be uncontrollable. Dark Shadow, when out of control, becomes a beast of pure rage, attacking anyone and anything around them. The only reason you weren't the best choice is because your powers are the only thing you and Banner have in common. You two aren't that much alike personality wise." Trixter explained.

Tokoyami nodded, agreeing with Trixter.

Everyone then looked under the 'Allies' tag.

Ally: 'Betty Ross; Unwavering Lover' Quote: "Don't ever speak to me as your daughter again."

Counterpart: 'La Brava; Beloved Partner' (I'm not gonna bother putting the quotes for repeated characters. For some reason, it makes it feel a lot less repetitive.)

"Huh? Me again?" La Brava questioned.

"Yes. It just so happens that you are the most similar to Betty. I mean, someone so in love that they'd become an accomplice to the object of their affection." Trixter said.

"Oh. I guess that does make sense." La Brava agreed.

Honorable Mention: 'Melissa Shield; Hero Supporter' Quote: "Perhaps I, too, can become someone's hero someday."

"So I'm a close second, huh?" Melissa smiled.

"That's right. You and Betty are both very kind and caring people. Both of you are also brilliant scientists. You and La Brava were honestly almost tied for most suitable counterpart. I ultimately went with La Brava because love is such a driving force for both her and Betty." Trixter explained. "Now, that's all for the Hero Wall. Let's check out the Villain Wall."

______________________________________

Everyone analyzed the Villain Wall.

Villain: 'Emil Blonsky; Monster Villain: Abomination' Quote: "Give me a real fight!"

Everyone felt immediate anger upon seeing Abomination's portrait.

"Who's that?" Mineta pointed at the portrait of Abomination's counterpart.

The portrait was of a bulky, blond-haired man. His left eye had been replaced with a prosthetic eye and he had a large scar going across the left side of his face.

Counterpart: 'Goto Imasuji; Muscle Villain: Muscular' Quote: "Show me your blood!"

Most of the audience felt like they knew who this person was. A few knew exactly who he was.

"Muscular? I feel like I've heard that name before." Toru said.

"Isn't he a pretty new villain? I think the first time I saw him was on the news about a year ago." Ojiro said.

"That's right. He was responsible for the deaths of the Water Hose heroes." Izuku said.

Kota was staring at the picture in shock and fear. "Th-that's... That's him... He... He's the one that..." He stuttered.

"The one that what?" Sero asked.

Trixter sighed. "Well, as you all have already realized, Muscular is the villain that murdered the Water Hose heroes. What you don't know is that those two heroes were also Kota's parents."

"What...?" Inko's eyes widened.

Everyone looked at Kota. The boy clearly had something against heroes, but his own parents WERE heroes. So, why does he hate heroes so much?

"After the deaths of his parents, Kota developed a very cynical view of heroes. He believes that by choosing to be heroes, his parents chose to abandon him. After all, if they never became heroes, they'd still be alive." Trixter explained. "In the end, those who become heroes abandon their families just to show off and be popular. That's what Kota believes. And, well, he's not completely wrong."

Kota couldn't stand this. Everyone was looking at him, talking about him. He didn't want to hear this! He felt tears form in his eyes as he grew more frustrated with all this.

"Hey! Why are you telling them all this! It's not like they need to know!" Kota yelled at Trixter.

"You're right about that. No one here really needs to know this. But refusing to talk about it isn't gonna help anyone, Kota. Especially not you." Trixter said.

"It doesn't matter to any of them! Just... M-mind your own business!" Kota said while trying to hide his tears.

Kota then ran off to his own corner of the room. Some of the heroes and students were about to go after him, but Trixter stopped them.

"Don't bother trying to talk to him right now. Give him some time to calm down." Trixter said.

"But... shouldn't we try to help him?" Mina asked.

"Yes, you should, but not yet. Right now, he doesn't want your help. So just wait until he's ready to listen to you. The last thing he needs is all of you forcing your ideals onto him." Trixter said.

Everyone felt bad. They wanted to talk to Kota, help him understand that his parents didn't abandon him. But Trixter was right. They can't help him if he doesn't want them to. For now, they'd just have to give him some space.

"Anyway, I'll explain why I chose Muscular as Abomination's counterpart" Trixter changed the subject. "Muscular is blood-thirsty killer. He is merciless, taking great pleasure in being able to use his Quirk freely to kill. There really isn't much else to say. He's a pretty simple guy. He loves causing death and suffering simply for the thrill. As you all saw in The Incredible Hulk, Abomination is the exact same."

Everyone simply nodded.

"Now, we have one honorable mention." Trixter pointed at another portrait.

Honorable Mention: 'Kendo Rappa; Fighter Villain: The Rapper' Quote: "Men're meant to rip each other apart with their own power. You feel me?"

"Whoa. That guy looks pretty scary." Uraraka said.

"That's one of Overhaul's men..." Eri shook a little. She had seen Rappa around occasionally. She always found him intimidating although he never really bothered her.

"Kendo Rappa used to be an underground fighter before he was recruited by Overhaul. He thrives on violence and bloodshed. Despite this, he is not as bad as Abomination. He does possess his own sense of Honor. Rappa is only interested in fights to the death where he can genuinely put his life on the line. If someone cannot provide him with such a life-threatening battle, then he wants nothing to do with them. So you won't really see him slaughtering random civilians just for fun. The one thing he and Abomination have in common is their intense love for combat." Trixter explained. "Now, for Abomination's allies."

Ally: 'Samuel Sterns; Curious Scientist' Quote: "Look, I've always been more curious than cautious and that's served me pretty well, so are we gonna do this?"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about him." Kirishima said.

"Whatever happened to him?" Compress asked.

"You all remember Nick Fury, right? Well, he had one of his top SHIELD agents keeping tabs on Banner. While the battle between Hulk and Abomination was happening, this SHIELD agent found and captured the mutated Sterns. He is now being held in SHIELD's custody and a cleanup crew got rid of all of Banner's blood samples." Trixter explained.

"Good. Hopefully we won't be seeing anymore Abominations." Midnight said.

"SHIELD is quite efficient. Dealing with Sterns and getting rid of Banner's blood samples, all while Hulk and Abomination were fighting." Nighteye complemented.

Everyone agreed. It was impressive how fast SHIELD worked.

Counterpart: 'Kyudai Garaki; Deranged Scientist Villain: Daruma Ujiko' (No quote for him, because he's barely spoken in the show.)

Shigiraki narrowed his eyes. "Doctor?" He whispered.

"Kyudai Garaki? Isn't that the scientist who came up with the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory?" Momo asked.

"Yes, it is." Nezu answered. "At the time, no one believed in his theory. He eventually went missing shortly afterwards and has never been seen since."

"Correct. As for why he is Sterns' counterpart, the two are both scientists that just LOVE experimenting with things they probably shouldn't, even going as far as using their work to create horrible monstrosities. Sterns was technically forced to help Blonsky, but there was definitely a part of him that was curious to see what he would create." Trixter explained.

"What sort of monstrosities has Garaki ever made?" Iida asked.

"That's not important." Trixter brushed off the question. "Now, for the final ally."

Everyone decided to forget about Garaki since Trixter clearly wasn't going to say anything more about him. Izuku still stared at the portrait of Garaki for a moment.

'That face... He looks a lot like the doctor that... told me I was Quirkless... Maybe it's just a coincidence...' Izuku thought to himself.

______________________________________

Author's Note: I know there are a lot of theories about the two doctors being the same person, but apparently that has never been confirmed. So, for now, I'm just gonna chalk it up to coincidence. I don't want to have too much head canon in this story.

______________________________________

Everyone looked at the second and final ally for Abomination.

Ally: 'Thaddeus Ross; The Thunderbolt' Quote: "We've glimpsed the back-part of God. And for our nation, and for our way of life, I intend to put a harness around it."

"Why does he get a portrait?" Toga glared at the picture of Ross.

"Well, like it or not, Ross did play a vital role in the film. It's only natural that he'd be included." Trixter said.

"Should he really be listed as one of Abomination's allies though?" Iida asked.

"That's a good question actually. I wasn't sure who's ally he should be listed as. He works with Blonsky for most of the film, but by the end of it, he allies himself with Banner. The same can be said about Sterns. He was working with Banner for most of the film, but ended up helping Blonsky near the end. I ultimately decided to go with the person they helped the most. In both Ross and Sterns cases, they ended up having a greater impact on Blonsky than Bruce. So I've listed them as Blonsky's allies." Trixter explained. "As for Ross' counterpart..."

Everyone looked towards Ross' counterpart.

Counterpart: 'No suitable counterpart discovered'

"Huh?" Sato said.

"No suitable counterpart? So no one in our world is like Ross." Momo asked.

"Oh, I'm sure there's someone in your world like Ross. I've just never seen nor heard of them. So for the time being, Ross simply has no counterpart." Trixter said. "You might end up seeing this a lot by the way. There are a few notable people in the MCU that probably won't have suitable counterparts."

"Alright." All Might said.

"Welp, that's that. Now it's time for us to have our discussion." Trixter said.

______________________________________

MHA Vs. MCU

Everyone approached the seats in the center of the room and sat down. A few saw Kota, still standing by himself in a far corner of the room, refusing to acknowledge their presence.

"Alright! Let's begin! We'll start with how you'd all handle Abomination." Trixter said.

Many in the group began to sweat at the thought of having to fight Abomination. Thank goodness this is just a hypothetical.

"Um... Well... All Might could probably take 'em." Kaminari said.

"Wow... You went straight to All Might for this one." Trixter chuckled.

"I mean, Abomination is just so powerful. We'd need someone like All Might to take him down." Tsu said.

"Abomination's Quirk is insanely powerful and he doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. The only way to really beat him would be to overpower him. Something that most people simply couldn't do." Izuku looked at his notes.

"Precisely. Those of us with agility based Quirks could avoid any major attacks from Abomination, but in order to truly beat him, we'd have to get through his durability, which is possibly the most potent part of his Quirk if his fight with Hulk was any indication." Iida said.

"I don't care how durable he is. I'd blast right through his defenses!" Bakugo declared.

"Abomination took a rocket to the face and didn't even flinch. You sure you aren't just overestimating yourself?" Jiro questioned.

"Of course not! My Quirk is way more powerful than some rocket!" Bakugo yelled.

"Whatever you say." Jiro responded.

"What about you Eraser. Think you could use your Quirk to win?" Mic asked.

"I'm not sure. Considering that Abomination's 'Quirk' isn't even an actual Quirk, there's no way of knowing if mine would have any affect. And, even if it could work, there's another factor to consider." Aizawa said.

"What's that?" Midnight asked.

"What type of Quirk Abomination even is. After Blonsky transformed, we never saw him revert back to normal. Meaning that his Quirk might be a mutant type, which my Quirk wouldn't affect." Aizawa explained.

"Perhaps I could capture the monster." Compress suggested. "Abomination is a close range fighter. While it would be dangerous for me to engage him in close combat, it would also be risky for him. I'd only have to touch him once and the battle would be over. Although the same can be said for him."

"I could do the same. One touch and he'd be dead." Shigaraki said.

"You have to consider Abomination's regenerative abilities, Shigaraki. It's possible he could recover from the damage you deal." Kurogiri said.

"Not to mention the fact that he'd kill you long before your Decay Quirk kills him." Trixter added.

"What?" Shigaraki glared.

"Hey, it's the truth." Trixter said.

"How about you Midnight. Maybe your Quirk would be useful against Abomination." Thirteen said.

"I'm not sure. We saw how knock-out gas didn't seem to work on Hulk. So I doubt it would work on Abomination. I'm not sure my Quirk would be any different." Midnight said.

"So... then it's just All Might. He's the only one who'd have a shot." Mina said.

"Do you think you could win that fight Uncle Might?" Melissa asked.

"Well, I think it would be a little tough, but I wouldn't let a monster like Abomination beat me." All Might smiled.

"All Might isn't the only one capable of overpowering that monster. I could do it just as easily." Endeavor claimed.

"Yeah, you and All
