Apology, Dragon training, Avengers and Yoarashi
<><><>
“Today is about survival” Gobber said as Hiccup watched the gronckle rampaged around the arena. Hiccup was glad he managed to get out of this training.
Hiccup had been Gobber’s apprentice for years, and he knew the meat head had no common sense when it concerns the safety of his students. The man had let Hiccup, a 6 years old, help him sharpen real swords in the first day he went to the forge.
“If you get blasted, you're dead. Quick! What's the first thing you're going to need?” Gobber continued as Hiccup made sure no one was looking before taking out his phone and recording the training.
His friends will most likely enjoy it.
He unconsciously smiled as he watched the gronckle blast Snotlout’s shield away.

Marinette groaned as she collapsed on her chair. She didn’t want to come to school, especially when everyone was going to bomber her with questions about her ‘resisting’ the akuma.
Today was one of the rare days that she arrived early to the classroom. No one was there beside her. Well no one was until the door opened.
Marinette raised her eyes and met the familiar pair of guilty brown eyes.
Wait a minute, guilty?
“Marinette!” the boy called as he made his way to her. Markov flying right behind him. “I am sorry.” He apologized just as he reached her while bowing his head.
“...uh” Marinette didn’t know how to react, and she didn’t even know what exactly he was apologizing for.
“After Yesterday’s events, Max had asked me to fact check every single one of Rossi’s claims.” Markov helpfully explained. “About 73% of her claims were lies.”
“I am really sorry Marinette for not believing you.” Max apologized again. “I didn’t know why I didn’t fact check her claims, much less believe how a napkin will gauge my eye.” He said the last part with scowl.
“…you are forgiven.” Marinette smiled at him.
“…. just like that?” Max looked at her in disbelief.
“Yes.” Marinette nodded. “While you didn’t believe me, you didn’t go out of your way by calling me jealous and obssessed like some did.”
She clenched her fist remembering how Alya and the girls scrapped off her words by telling her she was jealous and obsessive. She knew that she can be both of those, but she always owned up to her actions. Always. So they had no reason to tell her that she is lying because of her jealousy.
“they did??” Max asked confused.
“some of the girls did.” She sighed. “anyway what I meant to say is that I am not holding it against you, we are kids and we can be dumb sometimes, it is normal.” She shrugged.
“…thank you Marinette.” Max smiled at her before heading to his seat.
Marinette smiled and took out her multiversal phone to see Hiccup has sent a vedio.
She almost chocked when she saw a dragon shooting exploding lava balls at some teens.

Eddie: kid is that the training that your dad was putting you in??
Hiccup: yes
Eddie: …
Eddie: is he crazy?
Venom: their faces when the lizard flew at them were hilarious
Hiccup: I honestly don’t know if anyone in our village is sane at this point
Marinette is online
Marinette: why is it every time I enter the chat something crazy is happening
Marinette: they look as if they don’t know what they should do
Hiccup: because they don’t
Hiccup: Gobber just threw them in the arena and released the gronckle
Hiccup: He only started instructing them when the dragon restocked on rocks
Eddie: If I ever meet this Gobber I am going to feed him to Venom
Venom: Eddie! You love me!
Hiccup: He means well, but he kind of have zero common sense when it is about safety
Hiccup: the man lost both his leg and arm
Marinette: then why is he training you??
Hiccup: I don’t know and honestly I am kind of enjoying watching this
Midoriya is online
Midoriya: I don’t want to know
Midoriya: did anyone get any new quests? Because I did
Marinette: really?
Midoriya: yeah
Eddie: I didn’t get any quests at all
Eddie: what does it say?
Midoriya: it asks me to demand from All Might to call someone called Gran Torino
Midoriya: I looked the name up and he is a retired pro hero
Midoriya: the rewards say and I quote “Not breaking your bones in the entrance exam.”
Marinette: …
Eddie: …
Hiccup: Izuku what kind of exam are you planning to take?
Midoriya: I honestly don’t know, the entrance exam is divided into two parts
Midoriya: written exam and practical exam
Midoriya: the written one doesn’t change much every year, but the practical exam is different every year
Midoriya: a couple of years ago, examinees were divided into teams and tasked with hunting down Faux-villains who were pro heroes in disguise
Midoriya: another exam had the examinees fight robots for points
Midoriya: so I can’t tell what this year is gonna be
Eddie: Robots??
Midoriya: yes
Midoriya has sent an attachment (Zero_pointer.gif)
Hiccup: HOW DOES IT MOVE??!
Midoriya: I forgot that you don’t know what a robot is
Marinette: you just reminded me, I will ask Max to start making that file for you
Marinette has gone offline
Hiccup: someone please tell me how does it move!
Midoriya: sorry I don’t know how exactly it moves
Hiccup: (╥﹏╥)
Venom: Eddie can we fight those robots too?
Eddie: If we find some criminal building robots you can fight them
Eddie: even though the avengers will probably be the one dealing with them
Midoriya: avengers?
Eddie: a group of superheroes from our world
Midoriya: ...I didn’t know your world have superheroes
Eddie: there are but their current situation is honestly shit
Hiccup: why?
Eddie: there was this document called the Sokovia accords made by 117 countries
Eddie: basically a set of laws that make the avenger teams work under the United nations
Eddie: the avengers’ teams was divided into two, one part who didn’t agree on it and the other who agreed
Eddie: long story short, there was a kind of a civil war between the two groups which led to one group being labeled fugitives
Eddie: and just recently the fugitives were pardoned and a new accord was signed
Eddie: the new accords were honestly far better than the old ones
Midoriya: why do I have a feeling that this isn’t all?
Eddie: because just a week ago, a vedio went viral over the internet
Eddie: the vedio showed that Captain America, the ex-leader of the avengers and the leader of the fugitive group, knew about the fact that one of his teammates’ parent’s didn’t die in an accident but were killed by a brainwashed war prisoner
Eddie: the captain knew for a long time and didn’t inform him
Eddie: and in the civil war, a man from a terrorist organization prepared a trap that put Captain America, Tony stark (the teammate), and the winter solider (the brainwashed assassin) in the same room and expose what happened.
Eddie: stark rightfully started attacking the two
Eddie: people says that he intended to kill them, but professionals’ analysis showed that if he wanted them dead, he would have done so easily with the weapon’s in his suit
Eddie: the two counterattacked with full force and left him extremely injured alone in an abandoned warehouse without informing anyone of his location
Eddie: if one of his teammates didn’t find him, he would have been dead
Eddie: now the public know what happened and they aren’t happy at all
Midoriya: yikes
Midoriya: you are right, their situation is shit
Hiccup: I didn’t understand half of what you sent but even I can tell that it is bad

“Midoriya-Kun!” A loud voice called, causing Izuku to flinch as he looked up from his phone.
Yoarashi was walking towards him with a bright smile and a huge tray of food in his hands.
“…Yoarashi-san.” Izuku spoke with a forced smile. He wasn’t really comfortable with sitting with anyone at the moment or honestly at any moment
Thud!
Yoarashi’s tray landed on the table with a loud thud as the tall teen sat beside him.
“Yesterday you said you like to train! What gym do you go to?!” the brown haired boy asked loudly as he started eating.
Izuku sweat dropped, from what he noticed in the little time he was in the class, was that Yoarashi was loud by nature. Not like Kaccha- Katsuki who was always angry, Yoarashi was simply passionate about almost everything it seems.
If he was anything like the Pomeranian, I will gut him
Izuku shook his head as he opened his mouth “I…” He paused for a second before answering. “I train at Takoba beach.”
Yoarashi paused. “…the trash dump?” he blinked.
“Yes.” Izuku nodded his head. “My trainer said that it will be both a good physical training to clean it and a community service.” He explained.
“that’s…” Yoarashi said in a low voice looking at Izuku with wide eyes. “really passionate!!” he continued with clear excitement in his eyes.
Izuku flinched at the sudden loud volume, but smiled slightly at the teen.
<><><>
“…So you want me to put togther a file that has every useful invention from Vikings age to the present, with explanations about how they ae made and work. And you want them with videos?” Max asked with a disbelieving look on his face.
Marinette cringed a little. “I know it is too much, but my friend really needs them, I will owe you big time If you help me with it.” She said with pleading look on her face.
Max sighed. “I didn’t say I won’t do it.” He said before adding. “the size of the file will be huge and it will take at least two weeks for Markov to finish it.”
“Thank you!!” Marinette pulled the boy into a tight hug.
Max’s cheeks flushed a bit as he continued speaking. “I will send them to you in parts, Markov will probably be able to finish the first part by midnight.”
“You don’t know how mush this will help my friend; I owe you big time for this.” Marinette grinned at him.
“You don’t owe me anything, think of this as my apology gift.” He said and ran away before can Marinette open her mouth.

“So you are quirkless.”
It was something about the way that Yoarashi said it as if the information didn’t mean a single thing. It was ironic how everyone in his entire life had some sort of negative reaction to his quirklessness, and then a teen who he didn’t know even for a full day take the information as if it didn’t mean a single damn thing.
Marinette, Hiccup and Eddie doesn’t count as being quirkless in their worlds is Normal.
“As of now, yes.” Izuku sighed. “My mentor took me to a quirk specialist who said that I very likely have some sort of strength augmentation quirk that needs some conditions before manifesting.” He said the excuse that the unknown number told him two days ago.
When the message arrived, Izuku was freaked out. But All Might had assured him that he knew who the person was, even if the hero had shivered in obvious dread as he told him that it was okay.
The excuse was better than how they originally wanted to say that he was simply a late bloomer without going into details.
“so, you have to train your body for your quirk to manifest?” Yoarashi said with a weird look in his eyes, Izuku brushed it off as doubt.
“Yes, she said that If my quirk manifest and my body wasn’t strong enough to handle it, it could kill me. I staying dormant is a sort of failsafe.” Izuku explained as the two walked out of school.
“...That’s scary.” Yoarashi said with same look on his face.
Izuku didn’t respond.
<><><>
“...Marinette will kill me if she figured out what I am doing.” Hiccup muttered as he knelt on the ground looking at the tracks left by the nightfury’s fall.
Gobber’s word rang in his ears as he stood up and walked deeper into the forest.
A dragon will always, always go for the kill
“So why didn’t you?” Hiccup murmured as he entered a cove and stepped on a large rock that overlooked a wide space.
A flash of black shoots up in front of him and he immediately fall into the ground releasing a small yelp. He watched in awe and confusion as the Nightfury kept tried to climb on the stone walls of the cove, obviously trying to leave.
The dragon flapped its wings but gained no altitude whatsoever.
Hiccup carefully took out his phone and snapped a quick picture of the dragon.
“why don’t you just fly away?” he mumbled looking at the dragon as it walked to the pond and tried to bite down a fish, only for it to scatter away.
He took notice of the fact that the dragon tail had only one fin on it.
He took another picture but he miskicked and pushed the flashlight button.
The dragon instantly noticed the light and raised its eyes to meet Hiccup’s
It didn’t attack.

“so you seem a lot happier these days.” Anne pointed out with a suspicious look on her face.
She knows something is happening, and she most likely think it is related to Venom.
She isn’t wrong though. Venom’s smug voice rang in his head, and the only reason that he didn’t flinch was because he somehow got used it in the short time they were togther.
“…I might have found some…. friends, online.” Eddie decided to say part of the truth.
“hmm?” Anne hummed, obviously telling him to continue.
“They are a bunch of kids who honestly are dealing with a lot of shit.” Eddie sighed. “Two of them are outcasted in their schools and the third have a very big burden on her shoulder that is causing her a lot of problems.”
“…kids?” she asked him in disbelief.
“yup.” Eddie said popping the P.
Yes, Our kids. Eddie almost choked at Venom’s words.
“and how exactly did you meet?” Anne asked raising an eyebrow at him.
“they added me to their group chat by mistake.” Eddie shrugged, it was partly a lie.
“and they let you stay? Knowing that you re a fully grown man?”
“yeah.” Eddie responded as he took a sip of his coffee. “they themselves don’t how they joined the group chat, they are all from diffrent countries.” He didn’t notice the fond smile that made its way to his face.
“okay, now you have to tell me about them.”
