Prologue: Prime Time

(A.N. Due to merging the two franchises there will be some slight alterations to the source material. For example in this world each nation has a Number One Hero with All Might being Japan's and Mr Incredible being America's.)

Ever since the phenomenon of Quirks came into existence and gradually became common place amongst the majority of mankind, a lingering 20% of humanity were left unable to inherit these powers.

While every part of the world had it's share of quirkless people, America held the highest concentration of the percentage with a 1:10 ratio. Because of that not only did they have less heroes, or 'Supers' as they dubbed them, but also higher crime rates.

This required those in America who did inherit quirks to step up higher than other heroes to give the people hope and salvation, even going so far as to hide their identities to truly become symbols of peace and justice. And the majority of these great supers were trained and situated in the USA's capital of hero activity: Metroville.

The sun shone brightly over the metropolis as the millions of citizens went about their daily lives. Occasional cheers rang through the streets as a random small crime would be stopped by a super before carrying on to wherever they might be needed next.

At a nearby apartment, two of those supers were in the middle of getting ready for another day of making the world a better place; A pair of men seen sitting at a table talking over morning coffee. Whilst both of them were lean, muscular and blonde, their hairstyles and height varied considerably. One was taller than the other with his hair sticking up at two points in the front like a pair of horns while the other man's hair was more slicked and his muscles weren't quite as prominent.

These two heroes, when in costume, were known as Mr Incredible; the Strong Hero and Metroville's number one super. And All Might; The recently titled Symbol of Peace from Japan.

Ever since he departed from his homeland to perfect his quirk One For All in the states, All Might's reputation had been on a rapid rise throughout his journey which eventually lead to him becoming the number one hero of Japan. He'd made many friends along the way who supported his goal of making a world where everyone can smile (one of his closest being the acclaimed inventor David Shield) but his only rival had been the man sitting before him.

Due to the similarities of their strength based quirks Mr Incredible and All Might had competed many times in a race to who would become Number One first. Nobody knows for sure who won, but it didn't matter as both had proved to be outstanding supers in their own rights and the closest of friends at the end of it all.

However, All Might's occupation in America was close to ending as he'd trained as much as he could and believed it was time for him to return to Japan to complete some 'unfinished business' he would answer to his friends when asked. Despite the somber news he would soon be leaving, the Symbol of Peace would see the USA off with a smile and he felt no better way to do it than by attending a special event involving his rival, friend and roommate, which they happened to be discussing right now.

"So it's all ready for tonight?" All Might asked setting down his empty mug.

"Yep it should be quite the gathering. Provided everyone makes it on time." Mr Incredible replied as All Might briefly left the room and returned dressed in his costume.

"Well time to go to work. I'll see you later, buddy." He said as he opened the apartment window and leapt out.

"Would it kill you to use the door?!" Mr Incredible called after him.

"I never have before and I won't start now!" His rival's voice echoed back. Mr Incredible rolled his eyes as he left the building as well after dressing himself in a black tuxedo. He then got into a shiny black car and headed off into the city.

As he drove through the streets of Metroville, Mr Incredible began to hear a broadcast on the radio, stating that the police were pursuing of a carful of gunmen in a high speed chase. The super pressed a button causing the radio to flip over revealing a digital map of the city. He then turned a large dial to the option 'Isolate Pursuit' which zoomed in on the map revealing the distance between himself and the car chase.

"Yeah, I've got time." He smiled after glancing at his watch before turning the dial to 'Merge Pursuit' and 'Auto Drive' causing the car to begin to drive itself as Mr Incredible lay back in his vehicle which began to don him in his hero costume. At the same time his car began to change shape into a more sleek form with a large rocket engine at the back which ignited in a burst of speed sending him hurtling toward the criminal's location.

But as he was en route he noticed an old woman calling to him from the side of a park. Never one to turn down a citizen in need, Mr Increidble stopped the car to address the woman.

"What is it, Ma'am?" He asked.

"Oh, Mr Increidble. My cat, Squeaker won't come down." the woman pointed to a small ginger cat stuck at the top of a tall tree, the poor animal meowing for help. The American hero glanced at his navigator and saw he was about a minute ahead of the pursuit.

"Certainly, Ma'am, but I suggest you stand back in case there's trouble."

"Oh don't worry, he's quite tame." The woman insisted as Mr Increidble uprooted the tree and heald it on its side while she stood underneath ready to catch her cat. Though the animal proved to be rather stubborn as Mr Incredible seemed to have trouble shaking it off the branch it was clinging to.

"Come on, kitty, let go now." He gritted as he noticed the gunmen and police had rounded the corned and were about to pass him. Shaking the tree a little harder the cat, though it put up quite the fight, finally came loose as it landed safely in the woman's arms.

No sooner had he succeeded, Mr Incredible swung tree over his head and onto the road seconds before the criminals collided with it knocking them both out.

"Two crooks with one tree." He grinned as he placed the tree back in the ground.

"Thanks, Mr Incredible. You've done it again." One of the cops said proudly as his partner loaded the criminals into their car.

"Oh no, I'm just here to help." Mr Incredible replied humbly just before he heard another police report coming from his vehicle.

"Attention all units. We have a tour bus robbery…" Mr Increidble glanced at his watch.

"Tour bus robbery. I've still got time. Officers. Ma'am. Squeaker." He bid the citizens good day before getting into his car before he heard a young male voice beside him.

"Cool! Ready for take-off!" Mr Incredible looked in surprise to his right to find a boy sitting in the passenger seat. He was blond and freckled wearing a blue eye mask and cape along with a white shirt that displayed Mr Incredible's insignia.

"What the…? Who are you supposed to be?" He asked.

"Well, I'm lncrediBoy." The boy replied heartedly.

"What? No. You're that kid from the fan club." Mr Incredible recognised the child as he tried to place his name. "Brophy. Brody. Buddy. Yes, Buddy!"

"My name is lncrediBoy." Buddy insisted. Mr Incredible sighed as it seemed this hadn't been his first encounter with the boy.

"Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me but this?"

"No, you don't have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything! I'm your number one fan!" Buddy proudly declared hoping his admiration for the hero would convince him. But Mr Incredible wasn't convinced as he ejected the fanboy from his car before speeding off to the next crime location.

"Hey! Hey, wait!"

At the same time Mr Incredible had been handling the car chase however, All Might had been dealing with a crime of his own. After he'd left the apartment, the Symbol of Peace had received word of a raid on a business centre.

From what All Might had heard the criminals were using both a helicopter and had a couple of quirk users working with them as well. And in a effort to divide the police, a few members of the gang had taken a tour bus hostage and we're currently driving it aimlessly through the streets

"What a mess." All Might muttered to himself as he leapt through the air. "You make a good point, Bob. Can't the cops just keep the city clean for ten minutes?" He looked to see both criminal parties were in sight. The chopper was heading in one direction while the tour bus was driving in another, the police scattered between the two.

Staying true to his duty to help those in danger smile, All Might chose the tour bus as he landed and rushed after the vehicle. He saw there were a total of five terrorists on board; one was driving the bus while the others were standing, three of which had guns so All Might assumed the fourth was a quirk user.

All Might grinned widely as he let out a mighty laugh and ran alongside the bus drawing the passenger's attention.

"Fear not, citizens! Hope has arrived! Because I am here!" He proudly said his catchphrase as the hostages did indeed begin to smile.

"It's All Might!"

"The Symbol of Peace!"

"We're saved!"

"SHUT UP!" One of the terrorists silenced the hostages. "Don't even try, All Might, or we'll blow their brains out! Don't test us!"

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it. You'd just get a failing grade." All Might joked causing some of the citizens to laugh.

"We're serious! One more step an-" the criminal suddenly frozen mid-sentence...literally as he'd become encased in ice along with the other terrorists, save for the driver who was looking back in shock, though All Might only laughed as he recognised the phenomenon.

"You really had to cut in like that, Frozone? And I was just getting started."

"Come on, you know these high speed hostage situations are my specialty." Another voice said from the rooftops as All Might looked to see another super had arrived. He was a dark skinned man in a white a blue ice themed bodysuit along with a white visor covering the top half of his head. The Ice Hero: Frozone.

"How's it hangin', Red White n' Blue?" He smirked as he began to skate alongside All Might, throwing patches of ice in front of himself.

"I had everything under control until you decided to steal my thunder."

"Like you've never done that to me."

"Hey! I'm still in control here!" The driving terrorist spoke out.

"Oh yes, almost forgot about him. I'll let you do the honours, AM." Frozone offered as All Might got behind the bus.

"Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts!" He declared and thankfully the citizens were indeed buckled in as All Might grabbed the underside of the bus and lifted it slightly so only the front wheels touched the road. With this he was able to dig his heels in a bring the vehicle to a gradual stop. Knowing the job was a bust, the driver grabbed the closest passenger's bag and ran.

"Hey, he stole my purse!" A woman shouted but before All Might or Frozone could go after the criminal a cracking sound came from one of the frozen terrorists before they suddenly broke free, their body covered in large spikes causing the passengers to scream as he smashed through the bus window.

"Damn! Looks like my ice couldn't hold that one." Frozone cursed. "I'll deal with him, you go grab that purse-snatcher."

"No." All Might refused. "You should go after the chopper, the police need you. Leave this one to me and then I'll catch up with our little runaway."

"All right, I'll leave you to it. Catch ya later, man!" Frozone agreed as he skated off to stop the other gang members, high-fiving All Might as he passed him.

"You're gonna regret not accepting his help, All Might." The spike villain said wickedly. "Because by the time I'm done you'll be Japan's number one pincushion."

All Might only laughed in response to the threat. "Thank you for the joke, villain. I find it's so much easier to smile when you laugh, don't you agree, citizens?" He grinned at the hostages who had exited the bus by this point and were safely with the police, having caught up with the chase.

"Don't mock me you grinning meathead!" The villain roared as he shot several long spikes at All Might who reared back his fist.

"Nebraska...SMASH!" He bellowed as he threw a punch which sent out a shockwave blowing the spikes away and sending the villain flying back. But before the spiked man had a chance to recover All Might was already upon him, his second attack ready.

"And now..." He began as he pulled back his might glowing fist. "Detroit...SMASH!" He delivered a solid uppercut to the villain's jaw, shattering several of his teeth and launching him into the air before the fiend came tumbling back to earth where All Might caught him by the back of his shirt.

"Officers, I believe this belongs to you." He grinned as the crowds cheered his victory.

"Thanks a lot, All Might. We're always grateful for your time here." The cop thanked him.

"No trouble at all." All Might grinned before he turned to the woman who'd been robbed. "And don't worry, Miss. That scoundrel won't have gotten far. You'll have your purse back before day's end."

"Thank you, All Might!" She replied as the Symbol of Peace jumped off into the air to finish the job.

Indeed, the purse-snatcher hadn't got too far after the police had reported his robbery as the man was currently hiding out on a rooftop going through the stolen bag for anything of value. But he wasn't alone for long as he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"You know... you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that's not what you had in mind." The criminal looked to see it was Mr Incredible who'd found him as the blue clad hero approached him.

Growing desperate the man pulled out a gun as he aimed it at Mr Incredible. "Hey, look-" All of a sudden a red gloved fist shot out from the left and slugged the robber in the face knocking him to the ground.

Mr Incredible was surprised to see the hand was attached to a long arm which retracted like an elastic band before a slender super woman with chestnut brown hair strolled out of the shadows. She was wearing a red and white costume with a sparkling eye mask over her face.

"Elastigirl." Mr Incredible identified her.

"Mr. lncredible." She greeted him back as she went to pick up her target.

"No, it's all right. I've got him." Mr Incredible insisted to which Eastigirl rolled her eyes and let the man fall back to the ground.

"Sure, you've got him. I just took him out for you." She pointed out.

"Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me." Mr Incredible countered though he was smiling.

"A fact I exploited to do my job." Elastigirl fired back with a smirk.

"My job, you mean."

"A simple thank you will suffice."

"Thanks, but I don't need any help."

"It seems I was a little too slow." The pair of heroes turned their heads to find that All Might had arrived on the scene. "Thank you for catching my criminal."

"Your criminal?" Mr Incredible questioned.

"Yes, he was a runaway from the tour bus I saved earlier."

"Yet you let him get away?"

"There was a villain present, I had to stop him first."

"Whatever you say, All Might, but it's finders keepers and I found him."

"Whatever happened to 'ladies first'?" Elastigirl cut in.

"Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?"

"Hey, look guys, the lady got me first." The criminal, having regained consciousness, sided with Elastigirl who only punched him in the face again without looking.

"Well, we could share, you know." She then suggested.

"I work alone." Mr Incredible replied boldly. A sultry smile crossed Elastigirl's face as she approached him, stretching herself up to his height as she teasingly walked her fingers up his chest.

"Well, I think you need to be more…" She swiftly weaved her body over under and around him before returning to her original shape. "...flexible."

"I'd say get a room, you two, but we are on the clock." The two supers jumped as they'd seemingly forgotten about All Might.

"A-Are you doing anything later?" He asked, slightly mesmerised by Elastigirl's flirting.

"I have a previous engagement." The heroine winked before she turned on the spot and somersaulted away across the rooftops. Mr Incredible let out a long whistle as he watched her go before he noticed All Might grinning at him.

"Oh don't you say a word." He pointed.

"I'm saying nothing." All Might replied with raised hands while Mr Incredible went to cuffing the robber to a pipe.

"Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour." He said before the sound of gunfire filled the air followed by someone calling his name.

"Hey, lncredible! Red White 'n Blue!"

"Hey, Frozone!" Mr Incredible and All Might waved to the ice hero passing through. He was skating across sheets of ice through the air in pursuit of the helicopter from the heist.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" He asked the strong hero from afar.

"I still got time." Mr Incredible responded checking his watch for the third time today as Frozen managed to grab onto the chopper.

"Starting to cut it close there, Incredible. Perhaps we should call it a night." All Might suggested.

"There's still an hour left, I'll be fine." Mr Increidlbe reassured.

"All right. I'm going to see if Frozone needs any backup. Don't be late." All Might said before he went off in Frozone's direction. Not long after he was gone though, Mr Incredible heard a cacophony of screams.

"He's gonna jump!" Someone shouted as Mr Incredible saw a spotlight being shone on a man standing at the top of an enormous bank building. Moments later her threw himself off the edge sending the crowd into a frenzy of horrified cries.

Thinking fast Mr Incredible took a running leap off the roof and caught the man as he was falling sending them both crashing through one of the windows of the bank

"I think you broke something." The man groaned under him after they came to a stop.

"With counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me." Mr Incredible replied before he heard a strange noise from nearby. After moving the man to safety he began to search the room for the source of the sound.

As he hunted he noticed the sound was a strange beeping noise. As he walked into a hallway where the bank's vault was located the noise began to grow louder. Approaching the vault, Mr Increidble placed his ear to the surface and as he did so the beeping suddenly became rapid.

Eyes widening, Mr Incredible jumped away just as a blast exploded throughout the building, blowing the vault door off its hinges, smoke billowing out of the opening. As the smoke began to clear a figure emerged clutching several bags of loot.

It was a man dressed like a mime with belts of explosives crossing over his torso. Looking around the man grinned proudly at the destruction he'd caused just as the vault door was rolled away to reveal Mr Incredible coughing away the smoke.

"Bomb Voyage!" He identified the villain who spoke back to him in French.

"Monsieur Incroyable (Mr. Incredible)!"

"And lncrediBoy!" The two looked to see Buddy of all people standing in the broken window.

"lncrediBoy?" Bomb Voyage repeated with confusion as Buddy's shoes suddenly ignited causing him to hover over the Mr Incredible.

"Hey, hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots-" In spite of his impressive gadget though, Mr Increidble was only irritated by the boy's arrival.

"Go home, Buddy. Now."

"Petit oaf (Little oaf)." Bomb Voyage added just as annoyed. Buddy sighed as he ignored the villain.

"Can we talk?" He asked Mr Increidble as he began to monologue while admiring his reflection in the vault door.

"You always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I've finally figured out who I am. I am your ward…lncrediBoy!"

"And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy." Mr Incredible replied, grabbing hold of Bomb Voyage who had tried to slip away during the conversation. Now Buddy was getting frustrated as well as he just couldn't get through to the hero.

"This is because I don't have a quirk, isn't it? Well not every superhero needs a quirk, you know. You can be super without one. I invented these. I can fly. Can you fly?"

"Fly home, Buddy. I work alone." Mr Incredible replied coldly which felt like a knife to the heart for buddy to be so harshly rejected by his idol.

"Et ta tenue est totalement ridicule (And your outfit is totally ridiculous)!" Bomb Voyage added insult to injury. But Buddy wasn't ready to give up just yet.

"Just give me one chance! I'll show you. I'll go get the police." He said as he headed back to the window unaware that in the moment, Bomb Voyage raised his palm causing an explosive to pop out of his skin and attach itself to the fanboy's cape. A detail which didn't go unnoticed by Mr Incredible.

"Buddy, don't!" He called out though the boy didn't realise the danger he was in.

"It'll only take a second, really."

"No, STOP! There's a bomb!" Mr Incredible yelled in horror as Buddy took off on his rocket boots just before the strong hero let go of Bomb Voyage and grabbed onto Buddy's cape, the two flying off into the skyline.

"Let go! You're wrecking my flight pattern! I can do this if you let go!" Buddy panicked as Mr Incredible grasped wildly for the bomb. He eventually managed to knock it off but lost his grip on the cape too sending both him and the explosive falling towards the city where they landed on a monorail track.

Moments later the bomb exploded leaving an enormous gap in the tracks just as Mr Incredible sat up to see the last thing he wanted to: a train approaching. Knowing there was no time to for it to stop on its own, Mr Incredible jumped the gap and ran towards the train head on. He stopped, raised his hands and braced for impact.

With a mighty crash the train collided with the hero sending the passengers inside flying and forcing Mr Incredible back who strained against the car as it began to slow down. It was a close call but he managed to stop the train just as the lead car was hanging off the edge of the gap and the lights went out.

"Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing." Mr Incredible was now leading Buddy to a police car as the emergency service were now doing what they could to get the passengers off the train.

"I can help you. You're making a mista- HEY!" Buddy protested as he was forced into the car.

"The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?" Mr Incredible asked about the suicidal man.

"They've already picked him up." The officer confirmed.

"Good. The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter."

"You mean he got away?" A second officer asked.

"Well, yeah. Skippy here made sure of that." Mr Incredible gestured to Buddy who now seemed outright angry.

"lncrediBoy!"

"You're not affiliated with me!" Mr Incredible said angrily before his watch started beeping. "Holy smokes, I'm late. Listen, I've gotta be somewhere.

"But what about Bomb Voyage?" The cop asked concerned but before Mr Incredible could answer a boisterous laugh filled the air as an equally muscular figure landed in front of the group.

"Fear not, citizens! Justice is served. Because I am here!" All Might grinned as he stood there, tall and proud with Bomb Voyage restrained under his arm.

"You...You're All Might! The Symbol of Peace!" The cop recognised him.

"Oh please, officer, I've barely made the title, honestly." All Might replied rubbing the back of his head.

"Vous maudissez, Tous Pourrait (Damn you, All Might)!" Bomb Voyage cursed as the pro bopped him on the head knocking him out before he turned to Mr Incredible extending his hand.

"Well done, Mr Incredible. I was just passing through when I saw how you stopped that train after the tracks blew up. You saved a lot of lives tonight." Though he was somewhat miffed from having missed his chance to stop Bomb Voyage himself, Mr Incredible shook his fellow hero's hand gratefully.

"Thank you, All Might, your help is appreciated. Though this could have been avoided if some people would learn not to get involved in matters that don't concern them." He added with a cursory glance to which Buddy looked away from venomously.

"I can understand that. There are some feats that arent's achievable without a quirk. But the fact remains that evil was stopped and there were no casualties. Now then, if we're done here, I believe you have a 'previous engagement' to attend do you not?" All Might asked.

"Gah, you're right." Mr Incredible remembered as he got into his car. "Thanks again, All Might and officers, if there's anymore trouble I'll be there to stop it." With those parting words he drove away, All Might and the cops seeing him off with salutes.

XXX

After driving some distance Mr Incredible finally arrived at his location: a church. His car shifted back into a normal vehicle and the super stepped out now back in his tuxedo, though his eye mask was still attached. No longer was he Mr Incredible, but now Bob Parr, his secret identity.

As he entered the church he was welcomed by a slim African American man. This was Lucius Best; the secret identity of Frozone and one of Bob's closest friends. Upon seeing the man himself enter he smirked at him

"Is the night still young?" Bob asked.

"You're very late." Lucius replied.

"How do I look? Good?"

"Oh, the mask! You still got the mask." Lucius pointed out as he removed the item. Bob then approached the main doors, cracking his neck in preparation.

"Showtime." He said before pushing open the doors and striding down the aisle towards the bride waiting for him at the end. It was none other than Elastigirl, or as she was known out of costume: Helen.

"Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" As the ceremony went underway Helen whispered to Bob.

"You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter."

"It was playful banter."

"Cutting it kinda close, don't you think?"

"That's exactly what Toshi said." Bob recalled.

"And yet he's not even arrived yet. Anything to do with you?"

"You need to be more...flexible." Bob countered humorously. Helen smiled.

"I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. lncredible. You know that. Don't you?" She asked just as the priest finished speaking.

"...so long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Bob promised to both the marriage and the vow he and his soon to be wife just made.

"I pronounce this couple husband and wife."

With that the two kissed while their audience applauded. It was a small crowd which consisted of several supers, a short woman with black hair and glasses and a man with grey hair and dressed like a government agent. But just then the doors burst open and a booming voice sounded from the end of the aisle.

"Sorry I'm late!" Bob and Helen looked to see All Might had arrived, only he wasn't in costume, but rather a black suit with a yellow undershirt. Toshinori Yagi was now his identity.

"Though I'm suprised you got here at all after sticking your foot in your mouth, Bob."

"That's rich coming from you, given the time you're here. Take your own advice why don't ya?" Helen laughed. "So what kept you?"

"The police asked me to clean up the mess at the monorail scene after I delivered Bomb Voyage to them."

"One of the drawbacks of our line of work." Bob smiled.

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Bob." Lucius smirked as Bob went to shake hands with All Might.

"Thanks for coming, Toshi."

"Happy to be here, buddy." Toshi smiled. "And Helen, might I say you look absolutely stunning. I know you've always been a knockout hero but I always associated it with the he number of criminals you've punched." Helen chuckled as she shook his hand too.

"Hey now, the bells haven't even rung and you're already trying to get me to break my vow? I never would have dreamed you'd take up villainy, Toshinori." Toshi could only laugh at her quip.

"Oh, I almost forgot. My wedding gift to you both." He remembered as he handed Bob an envelope who proceeded to open it.

"Tickets to Japan?"

"It's only fair that the you and your wife get to visit me sometime after all you've done for me in my time here, my friends. I consider the both of you important people in my life and I want to make sure our friendship never wanes over time." The two supers smiled thankfully at Toshinori as he pulled the two of them into a hug which they gratefully returned.

"What are you standing over there for, Lucius? Get in here." He grinned invitingly.

"Nah, I don't wanna ruin the moment between you three." Lucius raised his hands only to be reeled into the group hug by Helen as the four laughed together before separating.

"Well, Mr and Mrs Parr, I wish the two of you a long and happy life together." Toshi smiled his signature smile to the couple.

"As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens." Helen promised. "Right, Bob?" Her husband grinned back at her confidently.

"Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?"

"In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed a suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court." A TV showed footage of Mr Incredible saving the suicidal man from the night of Bomb Voyage's attack before cutting to the man himself, seen in a neck brace and accompanied by a lawyer who began to spout an incriminating rant.

"Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible's "action", so quote, causes him daily pain!"

"Hey, I saved your life!" Mr Incredible protested, outraged by what was happening.

"You didn't save my life, you ruined my death! That's what you did...!" Sansweet complained back.

"Listen, you ungrateful little piece of-"

"My client has no further comment at this time." Mr Incredible's lawyer stopped him mid sentence before he might say anything else.

"Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the L train accident. Mr. Incredible's court losses costed the government millions, and opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the country over."

"It is time for their secret identities to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away!" A judge decreed as a spiritually broken Mr Incredible slowly left the court with a cursory glance and farewell wave to the public as they booed him out.

"Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, fear and controversy, the American government quietly initiated the Superhero Relocation & Quirk Prohibition Programme. The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Nor shall any quirk users be permitted to utilise their powers in public for any purpose.

Where are they now?

They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place."

The TV was then turned off to reveal Toshinori's reflection in the screen, a devastated look on the Number One hero's face. In a landslide of diplomatic madness and prejudiced smearing, all American heroes had been silenced and any future generations' dreams had been callously crushed under the boot of the government. An entire continent, ripped from the United Nations of Heroes.

Toshi sat there, back in his home in Japan, alone. He'd only left left America a few months ago and yet it was like the country he'd known was now a distant memory. He thought about his super friends back in the states: Mr Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, all of them. They were legends and now their very livelihoods were gone. What would they do now? Could they find work outside of heroism? What if Lucius married as well? Would he have to hide his quirk? What if Bob and Helen had children? Were they to be forced to raise them to live a lie?

The Symbol of Peace felt the need for some air as he left his house, his iconic smile nowhere to be seen.

'I'm sorry, guys. But it looks like this is one situation I can't help by being there. I can only hope it improves over time. For the sake of the next generation.' He thought sadly as he continued to walk aimlessly, not noticing a young woman with dark green hair walk past him, pushing a buggy. She stopped momentarily to look back over her shoulder in surprise, as did her baby who poked his head of messy green hair out of the buggy curiously.

"Mama? Who dat?" He pointed as the man walked off into the distance, his image shining but his heart shadowed and completely unaware that his future had just passed him by.

To be continued...

And so I begin the New Year and decade with my new crossover; one I feel doesn't get as much attention as it should. Let the journey begin.
