Out of the School, into the Mission

'Welp, we're dead', said Assimilate in Chris' head. Chris had been studying with Yaoyorozu and Midoriya when he got a summons from All-Might; apparently it was for something important. Chris had gone as calmly as he could, which was remarkable when one has a symbiote in his head having a mental breakdown.

'He knows' the symbiote kept saying, 'Somehow, he found out, and now something bad's gonna happen to us, I just know it!'

'Will you just CALM DOWN!!' Chris thought, 'Maybe he doesn't know and this is about something else.'

'But do you really know that? This is freaking All-Might after all.'

'No, but I'm trying to be positive. Do us both a favor and do the same.'

'Fine.'

Finally, they reached the courtyard of the school, where All-Might himself was waiting alongside Midnight and a hero Chris had never seen before. She was a woman wight light skin, blonde hair, and wore some kind of red and blue space armor with a gold star on the chest. She was the first to notice Chris' approach.

"You must be Chris Maverick," the woman said.

Chris nodded, then turned to All-Might: "You called for me, sir?"

All-Might nodded, then gestured to the woman: "This is Ms. Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel; she's one of the heroes from America, and apparently she's seen you in action."

Danvers nodded: "I'm rather impressed by your skills. And for the record, I was not personally watching him, S.H.I.E.LD. is.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Chis asked?

"It's a global organization dedicated to the monitoring of individuals with superhuman abilities, including the ones in training here. Recently, we had encountered a new threat in the streets of the city here, but before we could deal with it, it ran off and disappeared. The director of the organization wants to put together a team of heroes to handle the threat, and you just so happen to be on the list for this team."

"Yeah, I heard about something like that in the news. But, why me? I'm still a student."

"True, but your footage shows that you're pretty capable of handling tough situations. I must admit, the training sessions in this school are pretty hard core; suitable for a hero school. Your training with Venom only made you a more suitable candidate to this team."

"Well, yeah, the training here is pretty ridiculous, and…wait" Chris' heart froze, and the symbiote faintly said 'Oh shit', then Chris said, "How did you know about…?"

"Venom told us," Danvers continued, "Symbiotes are powerful entities, and we make it one of our top priorities to keep an eye on each new one that appears. Venom is one of our allies and our biggest informant on symbiote activity"

Midnight looked startled: "Wait, you mean that he has…"

"A symbiote, yes he does." Danvers said.

"For how long?" All-Might said, "And why didn't you tell us?"

Chris hung his head, then said: "No turning back now. Show yourself." Then, a black mass appeared around his body and formed a black and green suit with spiked shoulder pads and boots.

"I didn't tell you because I know how dangerous symbiotes can be. I was afraid if I told you that you and the others might see me as a potential villain and turn on me."

Midnight softened and placed a comforting hand on Chris' shoulder: "We would never do that; we've seen you act and you're far too kind to be a villain."

"She's right." All-Might said, "You've got too much of a hero in you for any villain to be in there. I can only assume that your symbiote friend is the same way."

"Oh, you bet I am." Assimilate said, his head appearing out of Chris's shoulder, "And thanks to Venom's training, we've become an unstoppable, ass-kicking machine."

"So, do you agree to join in the team?" Captain Marvel asked.

"It's your choice." All-Might said.

Chris thought for a bit; this may be his only chance to show to those he cared about here the hero that he REALLY is. This was not an opportunity that he was going to miss out on. He looked at Danvers with a determined look; the symbiote did the same.

"I'm in." they said in unison.

"Then follow me," Danvers said, "The jet's waiting outside to take us to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters." Then, she turned to leave. As Chris went to follow her, All-Might patted him on the back: "Don't worry, I'll let the principal know what you're doing. Good luck, Assimilate."

"Thanks, All-Might." Chris and Assimilate said in unison, as the symbiote formed its head around Chris', forming the mask of the symbiote suit. Assimilate followed Captain Marvel to the quinjet waiting outside. After the two heroes boarded the ship, it took off towards the Helicarrier. Inside, Captain Marvel handed Assimilate a black datapad, saying, "This has all the files concerning both the situation as well as your teammates. You should look it over while we are en route."

"We certainly will," Assimilate said, and he began to look through it. As he did, he began to get excited; this mission was going to be more interesting than he thought.
