rule 13

Chapter 4

"Hey Parker-kun!"

Peter turns to the sound of the voice and smiles, "Hey Midoriya-kun! How's your finger?"

"Oh uh it's all healed up! Recovery girl worked her magic!"

"Thank god for that or you'd be out of commission for a while! Hey that reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Are you basing your quirk after All Might or something?"

All the color leaves Izuku's face as he starts walking rigidly and sweats, "W-wWhat would make you say that?"

"For starters, you both yell 'smash' before throwing a punch, also I've seen enough videos of All Might to know that whenever he jumps or uses his power there's a distinct sound, one that you made just before you destroyed the zero point giant robot."

If it was any more possible, Izuku gets even paler, just how much did Parker-kun notice?! "All Might is my idol after all! Heh… heh I always wanted to be like him!"

Peter digs a little further, unknowingly alarming his friend further, "Yea but what're the chances that you end up with a quirk so similar to his that you could even model yourself after him."

"Um uh oh look we're already at the classroom! We should take our seats!" and he rushes in, leaving behind a confused and somewhat suspicious Peter.

Just before he takes his seat his red haired classmate, Kirishima I think, stops him, "Hey! It's Parker right?"

He raises an eyebrow, "Yea?"

"Just gotta say that was so cool the way you stood up to Eraserhead! Took a lot of courage! Now that's what I call manly!"

"Thank you I guess?"

A pink skinned and haired students butts in, "Yea totally! I mean you could've been expelled or at least suspended for talking to the teacher like that!"

Peter sweat drops and grumbles, "Don't remind me."

She giggles, "Name's Mina by the way, you can call Mina or Ashido, I don't care much for formalities." She grins widely.

Peter can't help but smile at her bubbly attitude, her positivity was infectious, "I think I'll go with Mina, make it easier for me."

He's then pushed from behind by Bakugo, "outta my way Gaijin!"

Peter glares at him but ask Mina, "What does Gaijin mean?"

"It means outsider, I'm guessing he still hasn't accepted you."

"I wonder what gave you that impression." He grumbles.

Mr Aizawa enters the room, "Alright everyone take your seats and let's get this over with."

Peter sits down and sees who's next to him, "Oh morning Yaoyorozu, fancy seeing you here!"

"Why wouldn't I be here? We're in the same class."

He sighs, "Yea that was just my poor attempt at humor."

"Oh well I understand why it would make someone laugh!" she offers a smile.

He returns it weakly while thinking, and yet you didn't.

Soon enough the class ends and the students begin to leave, Parker being the last one until,

"Parker!"

Said student snaps to attention, "Yes Mr Aizawa?"

The worn out teacher hands him a piece of paper, "Since the next class after this is English, the faculty and I agreed that it'd be redundant to send you to such a class given your expertise in that area. So we had your class changed to the support course."

The american's eyes widen, "The support course? Why're you sending me there?"

"It was recommended by your friend in high places, Mr Tony Stark." His eyes narrow as he studies the student.

Peter breaks out into a cold sweat, "l-look I know how this looks—"

"Extremely suspicious.—"

"but there's a good explanation for all of this!"

"We know, that's why we went to the source."

Peter blinks, "Say what?"

"We didn't want to waste time prying anything out from you so I set myself up with a meeting with Stark about his connection to you."

(Flashback)

Tony enters Principal Nezu's office where Aizawa and All Might, in his muscular form, are already waiting.

"Looks like it's some party."

The anthropomorphic dog gestures to the seat in front of his desk, "Glad to see you could make it Mr Stark," he welcomes politely, " You may take a seat if you'd like."

"I would but I don't feel having muscle bound bugs bunny and sleep deprived Sherlock looming over me." He quips with a smirk.

All Might self consciously touches his hair, "Do I really look like a bunny?"

Aizawa chooses to ignore the number one hero, "Let's just cut to the chase please?"

"I'll take it from here then Shouta," Nezu smiles then looks at the armored hero, "Mr Stark, we asked you to come because we are… concerned about your interest in one of our students."

"Peter Parker?"

"Yes."

The genius shrugs and puts his hands in his pockets, "What's the big deal?"

Eraserhead cuts in, "You've never been one to train others, or even take an intern, citing your company as a reason for being too busy to take time from and yet after many years, this one child not only has your attention but seems to have had his and his aunts life completely taken care of by you."

Tony's eyebrows scrunch with confusion and Aizawa elaborates, "We checked everything, his plane tickets his apartment even the car his Aunt now drives, all paid for by Stark Industries, you didn't hide it that well."

"Wasn't trying too." He answers with a grin, "Believe me, if I was you'd never find out."

Aizawa rolls his eyes at the mans arrogance but All Might enters the conversation before anything escalates, "We're just curious, especially because this boy shows enormous potential, he came close to getting #1 at the quirk assessment test."

Now this takes the genius by surprise and a small swell of pride grows in his chest, "He did? Wow this is a strange feeling, pride in someone else."

"Mr Stark if you would please, we just want to know why you tried so hard to upend this boys life?"

Tony keeps the wave of anger at bay at the veiled accusation, "Principal Nezu, if I didn't know any better I'd say your accusing me of something."

"Not accusing, just making theories."

"More like assumptions, but alright… (sigh), look I'll tell you but I need you all to make sure that this does not leave the room. I'm only telling you this because despite our shared history and personality clashes, I can trust all of you."

The statement somewhat unsettles the trio but they wait for him to continue. And he does, even telling them about Norman Osborn's obsession. By the end of it, Nezu is thinking deeply on their next course of actions. All Might breaks the silence, "So that's why, you're trying to protect him."

"Yea but even if this wasn't happening, I'm pretty sure I would've at least offered the kid an internship in my company. I mean quirk or no quirk he's smart! I mean check his school records, he's shattered them all! By all intents and purposes he's a genius!"

"He didn't score that high in the written test." Aizawa points out, earning stink eyes from the genius.

"He's still having trouble with his second language, give him some time and I guarantee he'll be in the top 3 of the school!"

"Changing the topic a little, wouldn't this pose a threat to our students lives? Osborn my not have the greatest of influences but he has influence nonetheless and that may make things uncertain." Aizawa notes.

"That's why I've announced the construction of a new Stark facility here, gives me the perfect cover to be nearby and keep an eye on things just as I had before. Besides, I like the kid, who knows maybe I can teach him to be better."

"Than what?"

Tony smiles ruefully, "Than me."

(Flashback ends)

Peter's flabbergasted, "Wow, I-I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. But I will warn you, if trouble and danger arrives in this school because of your predicament, I have a legal and moral obligation to protect the students of this school, which may mean expulsion for you if deemed necessary."

"What!? But I didn't ask for this, I didn't want any of this!"

"I understand, but I have a responsibility to this school which means I'll have to make tough choices if need be. Whether I like it or not."

Peter swallows the lump trying to form in his throat and looks down. Aizawa grimaces, "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. This isn't exactly an ideal situation."

"No I understand. If anything bad happened because of me… then anyone who got hurt is on me."

Aizawa picks up the note of regret and guilt in the teenagers voice but before he could ask further, Peter was already walking away.

"Alright let's see, oh here it is! The Development department!" Peter sasy as he looks up from the map. The intimidatingly large door seemed to be made of sturdier metal than the rest of the classrooms, making Peter wonder what may have happened in there to cause the need for this upgrade. He shakes off his nervousness, only one way to find out! Just as he goes to open the door, his spider sense tingles and he leaps back, a blast rocketing the door off it's hinges. Peter twists in the air, dodging the doors but as he's twisting he sees a pink haired girl grinning like a madwoman sailing through the air next to him. Without thinking his hand shoots out and grabs hers and he pulls her into his chest and lands perfectly on the wall behind.

She begins cackling, "HAHAHAHA looks like my babies had a little more kick to them than I thought!"

"Your babies?"

She ignores his question and her eyes focus on his feet, "How're you doing this?! You're perfectly held parallel to the ground by your feet! What material are you using on the soles? Is it some type of adhesive? OR maybe advanced cleats that can pierce metals?"

He blushes as she climbs down his body to get a closer look at his shoes. "H-Hey! Lady do you know nothing about personal space?"

"You're the one holding me!" she points out with a grin.

His blush deepens though he concedes, "touché."

He drops to the ground and pries her off him. "I'm honestly surprised you had the strength to hold yourself upright. These are just normal shoes by the way, nothing special about them."

She deflates noticeably, "Ah man! I was so excited to study your babies! Eh guess I'll make some of my own, thanks for the ideas!"

He's a stuttering mess at this point, "My babies?! What're you talking about?!"

An older man wearing nothing but jeans, large gloves, and a excavator claw for a helmet appears in the doorway holding a used fire extinguisher. "Dammit Hatsume if you keep damaging my room I'm gonna have to kick you out!"

"Got it sensei!" Clearly not taking the threat seriously.

Power loader shakes his head at his students antics, "Don't mind her she's as eccentric as she is intelligent. Also try not to get unsettled with her terminology, she calls all her inventions her babies."

"Oh… thank god, I was so confused."

"hh I take it you're the new student joining my class. There's not that many foreign students in UA, even less from America."

"I hope that doesn't means you expect little from me."

Power Loader smirks, "Oh no, especially since you've garnered Tony Stark's attention, I actually have high expectations! So try not to disappoint." He says teasingly, though Peter kinda feels like there's a layer of truth to that.

"Does the entire faculty know about that?"

His spider sense tingles and he notices Hatsume creeping behind him with a glint in her strangely bullseye shaped eyes. "Did someone say STARK?!"

"Uhhh…"

She gets uncomfortably close to Peters face, "A direct line to Stark Industries itself! This is exactly what I've been working for! Oh please tell me you can help me show Mr Stark my babies!"

"Not if you phrase it that way!"

She's already carrying a number of inventions in her arms, the glint never leaving her eyes, "Let me show you what I got so you can put in a good word for me!"

Peter turns to Power Loader frightened. He simply steps away with his hands up in surrender, "Sorry kid, you're on your own, but I'll attend your funeral!"

For the rest of that class, Peter experienced more explosions than he will for the rest of his life.

Hero Basic Training

After the... interesting first class with support, Peter thankfully finds himself back with class 1A. Uraraka is the first to see Peter and she practically jumps when she sees his fizzled form, "EH?! Parker-kun what happened?!"

Peter grimaces, his body still sore from his experience with Hatsume's 'babies', as he sits next to Momo, "Just a crash course with Support." He smiles weakly while the rest of the class shares the same thought, it seems like more than just a crash.

A boisterous and monumental voice grabs the attention and hearts of everyone in the class, "I am!... coming through the door like a normal person!"

All Might proclaims this while leaning out the door wearing his silver age costume and a billowing blue cape. He would crack a joke about that… if it was anyone else than All Might! Peter can't hold back his giddiness at seeing the symbol of peace in the flesh! After years of only having a screen between them the American teen can barely keep himself from fainting at having one of his favorite superheroes not only in the same room as him but also teaching his class!

"It's All Might! Oh my god it's All Might!" he's practically bouncing in his chair, not noticing or probably not caring that Momo is watching him geek out in amusement.

"It's All Might!" Kaminari exclaims.

"Wow, he really is a teacher! This is so cool!" Karishima states with his fist clenched in excitement.

Asui can't help but comment in wonder, "that's his costume from the Silver Age, isn't it?"

All Might allows the class to continue freaking put for a few more minutes, smiling broadly at the attention, while dramatically walking to the teachers desk, "Hero Basic Training, also called Heroing 101! That will be the class that will define you into the heroes you wish to be!" All Might swiftly reaches into a hidden pocket and pulls out a flash card, "Be prepared, for today we will be going into a crucial element of hero training!" And he shows the class what the flashcard said, BATTLE. "Battle Training!"

Bakugo can be heard saying, "Battle!" with sinister excitement, while Izuku meekly whispers, "Training?"

"Indeed! And to go with that, you'll need these!" he points to the walls. And right on cue, they begin to open, with numbered briefcases becoming visible, the students all getting more and more excited as they correctly guess what's inside.

"Costumes made based on your quirk registrations and requests you sent to the school made by the support department!"

"Costumes!" Izuku exclaims with a determined smile.

"After you change, gather in ground Beta!" All Might announces then directs the team to the locker room so that they can get themselves prepared.

Peter holds his briefcase #19 for a second, hoping that he won't look ridiculous while wearing it. He opens it and got himself ready.

All Might stands waiting before the entrance to ground Beta somewhat excited to see how the heroes of tomorrow will look. He remembers the first time he put his suit on… well one of them. The pride that swelled, the weight of his responsibility as well. The suit is part of the hero aesthetic but there's more to it than that, it becomes a symbol for the innocent. Whenever they're in danger and feel like it's the end, that flash of color, that symbol placed on their chest or wherever, that'll be the first thing they see. Whether that gives them hope or not, depends on the person though. And that's one thing that Toshinori wants to instill in all of his students, especially Midoriya-shonen. Though, from what he's heard and seen, Parker-shonen might actually be cut from the same cloth. I'll find out for myself today.

The door begins to rise and from the dark, the young heroes in training emerge. His smile never wavers as he scrutinizes their suits. Some have gone simplistic like Kaminari who's wearing stylized leather jacket and pants with an electric motif, obviously due to his quirk. Or Jiro who's wearing a punk rock type dress with special boots; I hope the development studio made sure it was practical as it is stylish. Their students have gone in the other spectrum, such as Bakugo-shonen, wearing mostly combat attire with grenade gauntlets, combat boots and a dark mask that accentuates his permanent scowl. I don't think that will inspire a sense of safety to civilians, but to each their own!He thinks with a sweat drop.

When he sees Midoriya, he has to hide his grin with his hand while trying to stifle a laugh seeing as how his successor's suit has more than one similarities to him, you're so obvious!

The students are marveling at each others choices in suits, Uraraka notices Midoriya and breaks out into a sweet smile, " Oh Deku?"

"Uraraka-san!" he stiffens at the sight of her flattering suit, cheeks reddening under his mask, unable to keep his eyes from roaming.

"That looks cool! Really down to earth! I should've written what I wanted, mine ended up being a skintight bodysuit, it's embarrassing…" she says while sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.

Midoriya hands fly up to his mouth as if to hide his blush, and nose bleed, while trying to keep impure thoughts out of his head. Meanwhile the last student to arrive is none other than Peter wearing a full bodysuit with a red and blue color scheme with the red covering the torso, legs, feet, and back while the blue surrounds the upper legs and hips. Black webbing is laid throughout the red covering with a small black spider emblem on his chest and a larger red spider emblem on his back. What catches attention the most is the eye lenses that are a reflective white. Just don't think about how tight it is, everyone's suit is pretty out there right? I mean it's not like their gonna notice me, right? Him being the last student though means everyones eyes fall on him.… they're noticing. He silently sends a thank you to whoevers listening that he decided to have a mask on his suit as it hides the flushing in his cheeks from all the attention. Mina steps forward with a hand on her hip, "Gotta say that's a really cool suit Parker-san, you fill it out pretty nicely." She winks playfully.

Which does nothing to lessen the rush of blood in his face.

"T-thank you."

"Wow that webbing design is so cool! And that mask too! Though the eyes are kinda creepy." Toru compliments.

There are murmurs of agreement. Many were giving him impressed looks except for one person of course, who simply mutters under his breath, "damn gaijin."

"Thanks, your suit is… um… cool too?" He awkwardly remembers that her quirk is invisibility and right now all he sees is a pair of floating gloves and shoes… and nothing else.

"Uh hey Midoriya-kun, cool suit, can I guess who's your inspiration?" he asks teasingly.

He laughs timidly but All Might calls everyone's attention.

"They say the clothes make the man, young men and ladies. Be fully aware, from now on you are heroes in training! Now shall we begin you zygotes!?"

That's probably the weirdest thing I've ever been called, But Peter just rolls with it.

"Now, it's time for combat training!—"

"Sensei!"

Oh goddamit really Iida!? Right now!?

"This is a battle center from the entrance exam, so will we be conducting urban battles again?" the armored teenager asks.

All Might holds up two fingers, "No, we're going to move ahead two steps! Most of the time, fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals; in a society filled with heroes." He coughs for a second, which was weird to Peter since he could've swore he saw some specs of blood, "Truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows! For this class, you'll be split into villains and heroes and fight 2 on 2 indoor battles."

Asui puts a finger on her chin, "Without basic training?"

"This is a real battle to understand those basics!"

But… I don't know the basics.

"However, the key this time is that there's no robot you can just beat up."

"How will wins and losses be determined?" Momo asks.

Peter looks to her and kinda regrets it cause now he doesn't seem capable of tearing his eyes away. Wow I knew she was beautiful but she's definitely a full on knockout in that suit! Or what little of it there is. I'm really glad these are one-way lenses cause I feel like I'm starting look a bit too creepy. Wait how long have I been staring? Oh shit I completely missed everything All Might said! Peter panics as everyone goes to their partner and he didn't even hear who's his! Thankfully his answer comes in the form of Kirishima running up to him excitedly,

"Alright Parker-san Ready to show everyone what we can do?!"

"Yea!... quick question are we attacking or defending?"

Kirishima frowns, "You didn't pay attention?"

Peter rubs his head, "I got distracted."

The red haired student just shrugs, "We're defending the bomb against team H!"

"Tokoyami and Asui right? What're their quirks again?"

"Asui's similar to you actually, she can do anything a frog can do. But Tokoyami , I hate to admit it but his quirk is a little scary. He has a shadow that's really powerful and gets stronger the darker it is!"

"… boy I'm happy I emptied out my bladder before this."

All Might gets their attention again, "Alright everyone knows their roles. The first ones up are Team H against Team J. Team J since you will be defending you may head in 5 minutes ahead of your opponents and strategize your defense. Good luck!"

Peter gulps and heads to their building, building C, with Kirishima.

The students are in the monitor room watching the screens that are displaying peter and kirishima as well as Tokoyami and Asui respectively.

"This is gonna be a great match up!" Sero shakes his fists in anticipation.

"Possibly, but I'm not sure if Parker-san and kirishima-kun will have much a chance against Tokoyami and Asui- san." Toru answers.

Ojiro raises an eyebrow while crossing his arms, "What makes you say that? I think Parker-san will be able to handle at least Tokoyami if he can get past his dark shadow."

"But would he be able to out maneuver Asui? Her quirk is similar enough to Parker and her tongue gives her a better range of attack than Parker-san." Momo comments.

Shoto is silent but listens intently to his classmates. He doesn't see most of them as much of a competition to him but it'd be foolish of him to not collect information about his classmates in the event he would have to face them. Knowledge is power.

Bakugo is glaring at the screen with crossed arms, specifically at Peter, "Damn Gaijin, hope he fails, if not I'll crush him myself!"

"I wonder how this will go?" Uraraka wonders.

She turns to ask for Midoriya's opinion, only to find him with his hand over his mouth muttering to himself. "Kirishima's quirk to harden is formidable but does not grant him the same type of mobility that Asui's or even Tokoyamis quirk supplies them. It's better for him to be the last line of defense with the bomb. Peter's quirk possibly provides more agility than that of Asui, maybe that'll make him an effective match against Tokoyami's dark shadow? Especially if they can manage keeping the room lit—"

"Midoriya-Shonen!"

The secret wielder of one for all is rocked out of his musings by All Might, "Y-yes sensei?"

"I picked up on what you were saying, would you please share it with your classmates?"

"I-uh uh o-ok. Um I was just thinking that Kirishima's quirk works best in this situation for defense while Parker-kun would be better going on the offense. I think he should focus on Tokoyami because his speed is second to that of Iida-kun and with his agility; that may give him the chance to outmaneuver Tokoyami and close in on him." He explains his perspective, impressing many of the students.

Shoji can't help but point out, "But what about Asui, against her, Kirishima is a sitting duck."

"I hadn't thought of an effective strategy for him just yet." He admits shyly.

"Tsk, typical." Bakugo mutters, causing Midoriya to flinch.

A timer goes off and the class turn their attention back to the screens, "Anyone wanna make a bet? I'll put 1000 yen on team H!"

Kaminari grins, "You're on!"

Tenya begins scolding them, "Gambling is not becoming of students of UA!"

With Peter and Karishima

"So what's the plan? I think we should face them head on!"

Peter tries to keep control of his pounding heart, "I don't think that's a good idea, tokoyami's the wild card cause we haven't seen his quirk in full effect so we don't if it could swat us away and grab the bomb on it's own. And Asui can't be underestimated, if we're distracted taking care of Tokoyami then she could easily get the bomb without us being able to do anything."

Kirishima curses at the holes in his plan, "So what can we do?"

"As much as I'm not gonna like it, I think our best bet is to divide and conquer, no offense but between us I'm pretty sure I'm faster and stronger—"

"Harsh but true."

peter flinches,"Sorry, s-so I can give Tokoyami the hardest time. He'll probably have Asui go ahead of him and you'll have to face her on your own. You think you can handle her?"

Kirishima grins and activates his hardening, "You're goddamn right!"

Peter nods just as a timer is heard going off, "I guess it's show time."

Just at that second, the lights go off. "Shit that's exactly what we didn't want. Oh well, gotta roll with the punches. Keep sharp alright?"

Kirishima stares at him, "you're… you're kidding me right?"

"I have a bad tendency of making terrible jokes when I'm nervous."

"No shit."

Peter ignores that and heads through the door. He carefully walks through the hallways, checking the corners before he makes a turn. He's gotten himself to the second floor when his spider sense tingles and he leaps to a corner in the ceiling. He blends into the dark as best he can as he silently observes Tokoyami walk perfectly in the center of the hallway, with Asui on the wall to his left. Hmmm they haven't noticed me yet, maybe I can hinder Asui just a little. Web shooters don't fail me now!

Peter takes aim, he holds his breath and prays that he can finally hit his mark on the first try. He activates his webbing and a large net of web shoots out, heading straight to Asui. She betrays no emotions and just as the web is upon her, a dark purple shadow rises out of Tokoyami and slices the web to shreds.

"Oh come on! That was a good shot too!" he slaps his hands over his mouth but it's too late, not only has team H been alerted to his presence, but they're now aware of where he is.

Tokoyami quickly shoots out his shadow and Peter's spider sense warns him just in time to bend backwards at a perfect 90 degree angle before grabbing the shadow and using it to swing himself back down to the ground. Tokoyami's taken aback but the display of agility before he turns to Asui. "I'll keep him busy, you go get the bomb."

"Ribbit." She scurries on the hall.

"Hey wall crawling is my thing! You start shooting webs and I'm suing!"

He shoots webs at her and once again Tokoyami's shadow counters and goes to grab Peter who flips out the way and tries to get close to Asui but he's grabbed by the ankle and thrown at the wall behind Tokoyami. He groans as he slides down the wall and onto the ground. He shakes his head, "Wow that smarts!"

"Aplogizes for the roughness, though it is all part of training."

"Yea no hard feelings I understand, so long as it goes both ways." He gets himself into a crouch.

Tokoyami raises a brow and narrows his eyes at the weird position, "So long as you honor me by not holding back."

"Feel free to do so on my part!"

He shoots two web strands that the shadow's hands grab and pull on. Peter yelps but uses the momentum to do a front flip and lands a good drop kick on Tokoyami and stumbles him back but he's not knocked down, just in time to bring his shadow down over him and it swipes in the air but Peter leaps onto the wall and bounce off and smacks the first arm to the side and kicks the other one out the way and lands on his fight right in front of Tokoyami. His spider sense warns him and he ducks under the punch from the shadow and rabbit's up with an uppercut that stumbles his raven headed classmate, but the shadows comes down and headbutts Peter but as he's snapped back his leg comes up and lands a powerful front kick that pushes Tokoyami through the wall behind him. Peter rubs his face while his opponent grunts, holding his chest while the shadow lifts him back on his feet.

"You know I gotta say I'm loving the gothic asthetic, really bumps up the creepy factor. Though the cape is a bit too gimmicky in my opinion."

"You're wearing a bright red and blue onsie." He makes to grab Peter but he leans to the left then somersaults over the right swipe and leans back, evading another head butt.

"Touche, but that doesn't mean we both can't improve! Word of advice? E! Fashion emergency! We get you on there let them fix you up with a look that says: sure I may have an evil shadow counterpart that emerges from the darkness of my soul but I own this style!" he quips while He uses his adhesive abilities and attaches his feet to the underside of the shadow, flipping until he's closes enough to kick tokoyami back but his shadow catches him and throws him back on his feet while Peter is still in the air. He has no chance to evade as the shadow grabs him by his forearms and throws him up through the ceiling and he grunts as his back hit's the ceiling above and he crumples to the ground in a groaning heap.

The dark hero intraining rises from the hole, "You talk quite a lot for someone in the middle of a battle."

Peter grits his teeth and shoots his webs at Tokoyami who easily dodges but then againPeter wasn't aiming for him. The web strands hit the lights above and Peter yanks them, sparks flying and hitting the shadow that recoils from the sudden light. Tokoyami flinches but when he looks back Peter is no where to be seen. Unbeknownst to him, peter is above his shadow from behind and he drops down on top and webs the 'eyes' and beak like a bull.

"Get off!"

"There's a substandard sexual joke I can make there but I respect you too much to go for it. Now if it was Bakugo!"

In the monitor room

"THAT BASTARD!"

Back with Peter

"Yeehaw!" Peter pretends to swing a cowboy hat as the shadow tries shaking him off.

He's cut short as a massive dark hand grabs him by the head and throws him down on the ground roughly then, still holding his head, throws him down the hall and throw some doors. He slides haphazardly on his back before coming to a stop. "Boy I hope Kirishima's having a better time."

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

He screams as he rushes Asui, fist reared back and ready to hit… nothing but air as Asui leaps over his head, her tongue wrapping around his waist and throwing him into the hallway behind her. She lands next to the bomb and places her hand on it, signifying her win.

"Ribbit."

Ok so he's weak with light right? He peeks at the widnow at the far end of the hall. I got an idea that's just stupid enough to work. Peter somersaults over another fist and shoots a web precisely at Tokoyami's face, covering his eyes. He struggles against the web and Peter uses the distraction to shoot web strands at both walls beside him. He starts stepping back, stretching the webs like rubber bands till their taught. He leans back more and just as Tokoyami's shadow rips off the web, he hops up and pulls on the web and the webs yank him right to his opponent. He twirls in the air, narrowly avoiding the shadows arms. His feet hit his classmate square in the chest, launching them both down the hall and out the window behind. Peter shoots his web at the wall and pulls himself in then quickly shoots web at his falling classmate, wrapping him in a cocoon and attaching it to the wall, saving him from a rough landing. He lowers himself upside down on a web until he's face to face with his classmate, "So, should we kiss now?"

"…You're not my type."

Peter chuckles but then All might's voice cuts through the speakers, "HERO TEAM WINS!"

"Wait what?! We lost!? Oh come on I took all those hits for nothing?"

"Win or lose, it was quite the fight, despite the constant talking." he gives Peter a nod of respect, one that is returned to him.

Kirishima grumbles to himself, berating his uselessness as the two teams enter the monitor room, with Peter failing to console him, "I-I mean you gave it your best shot!"

He glares at Peter half heartedly, "I didn't even get one shot in."

"… Come on man I'm trying here!"

"A Job well done Students!" All Might boisterously states, standing with his fists on his hips and a smile permanently etched to his face. The rest of the class agrees,

"That was amazing!"

"Parker-san I didn't know you could move like that!"

"I have a question," Asui says surprisingly, she turns to Peter, "Is the webbing part of your quirk? I'm curious as to why you haven't used it until now."

Sero trails on, "Yea is it coming out of you? Cause that'd be cool!... kinda gross but cool!"

"I thought webs come out of the spiders butt." Mineta comments, earning some snickers through the class.

Peter blushes deeply, his mask hiding it though, "It's not- it's not coming out of me! I just recently made this."

He points to the web shooters on the underside of his wrists and Midoriya quickly comes to analyze them, "You figured out a way to make artificial webbing!?"

"Yea, I thought since I'm going with the spider motif, what's a spider without webbing right?"

Momo tries to study it as well, "Amazing! How did you do it?"

"I created a formula that's similar to spider silk with an adhesive ending that's strong enough to pull a plane with one strand. Took me a while and many tries before I could get this thing to work." He shivers as he remembers the many messes he made while trying to create his web shooters, at one point he was trapped after accidentally puncturing a web cartridge and filling his entire room with all the webbing encased in it. He was struggling in it for an hour while really needing to pee.

Her eyes widen excitedly, "That's-that's revolutionary! There could be so many applications to this aside from hero combat!"

"It would if I could figure out a way to make it last longer, the webs usually dissolve in an hour so I don't think it'll do well in construction."

The number one hero clears his throat, "If I may have your attention please. You all carried out your roles very well, take heart Parker shonen and Kirishima shonen. The two of you fought valiantly to the end! And remember, even failure can be a teacher that allows you to improve for the next bout! Now class, can anyone tell me what each team had done right and wrong?"

Momo raises her hand and All Might gives her the floor to speak, "Both teams had worked well within their rolls, of Team J Parker was the MVP as he used his abilities and environment to his advantage to evade and fight Tokoyami, getting himself in close quarters where he is weakest. Despite this it was clear that Peter has no form of training in his fighting techniques as his punches and kicks were wild and without proper form, relying too much on his enhanced strength which left him open to many attacks that Tokoyami took advantage of."

"I-I can fight." He mutters.

"But not well, despite that you had quick thinking and your reflexes allowed you to keep up and eventually win. Asui did well as she anticipated Kirishima's plan to rush in head on, not having to needlessly waste energy in fighting and capturing the target with ease."

All Might sweat drops, she took all the words right out of my mouth. "Very observant. Now don't beat yourselves up too bad, remember this is your first time training after all, so think about what we just talked about! Now Match Two! Which is… Team D and A for the villains and heroes!"

The reactions from Bakugo and Midoriya was nothing short of amusing. While Bakugo looked like he was ready for war, Midoriya looked about ready to find a bunker and hide for the rest of his life. I swear there's gotta be something out there doing this.

"Ok everyone, you know your roles, same as before! There'll be a 5 minute timer before the event starts!"

"Yes sir." They teams announce and they head to their designated psotions.

Peter can't help but ask All Might, "Sir? I just gotta ask, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"What do you mean Parker Shonen?"

"I mean is it a good idea to have Midoriya face Bakugo who clearly has a hate boner for him?!"

All Might still doesn't seem to get it, "Nonsense, they're both aware that this is a training exercise and I'm sure that whatever issues there may be between the two, it won't affect todays class!"

The spider powered team opens and closes his mouth a few times, giving a good impression of a fish. He sighs defeated, "I somehow doubt that that."

All Might hates to admit it but, Parker may have had a point in wondering if it was wise to have these two face each other. Almost immediately, Bakugo hunted for young Midoriya, attacking him with far more violence than necessary. For what it's worth Midoriya did very well against the explosive teen. He held his own and even scored a few significant hits without using his quirk. But that did nothing to deter young Bakugo, if anything it angered him more to the point he pulled a pin from his gauntlet and a massive explosion shook even the room they were in, with young Midoriya barely evading the blast.

"That son of a bitch!" Peter growls.

"Parker-san!" All Might tries to scold but Peter is having none of it.

"You're seriously more offended of me cursing than the fact that short fused firecracker idiot nearly killed your student?!"

His teacher takes a half step back, "I'm sure that wasn't his intentio—"

"Look at the screen! Look at him! He's practically foaming in the mouth trying to hit him with a blast! If he didn't react in time Midoriya would've been a charred skeleton right now!"

Harsh as it may have been Peter was right, all the students were having a tough time trying to justify Bakugo's actions as just playing the villain. But surely he wouldn't go so far… would he?

Peter starts pleading to All Might, "You have to stop this! He can't even use quirk without hurting himself! If he does and misses then he's easy picking!"

All Might's grip on the microphone tightens just a bit, he knows his student is right. But he also has faith in Midoriya. He's lasted this long and despite all the power and combat skill Bakugo possesses, this is still a stalemate. All Might knows that Midoriya can pull through, he just needs to do it quick enough. He then announces in the microphone "Bakugo Shonen, the next time you use that attack, I'll stop the fight, and your team will lose. To attack on such a large scale is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting, that is a foolish plan for both heroes and villains!"

Bakugo begrudgedly agrees, but one student had issues with it, "That's it!? He decimates an entire building face and nearly kills his classmate and your just giving him a slap on the wrist?!"

"I understand your worry for your classmate Parker shonen, but young Bakugo is still aware, he knew that Midoriya shonen could escape the blast. There's a small part of him that is sane and keeping him from seriously hurting him. We must have faith in all of our comrades."

Peter grumbles but relents, "Fine. But if it get's any worse I'm stepping in! Consequences be damned!"

All Might does a double take. Truly he's impressed by how passionate Parker seems to be and how willing he is to go to whatever lengths to help the people he cared about. You found yourself a good friend Midoriya shonen. He nods and continues to watch the fight.

Peter is too angry to be aware of the looks of respect the entire class is giving him, even Todoroki's normally expressionless eyes slightly widen at the boys declaration, in awe at the conviction in his voice. There may be more to you than I thought Parker.

Bakugo continues his assault on Izuku, though with slightly less fierceness than before. He blasts his victim with controlled and well-aimed attacks, using his quirk expertly to batter Izuku who's still struggling to keep up with his childhood bully. Meanwhile Uraraka works to secure the weapon, although Iida is alerted to her presence after she gives it up by laughing at his antics.

Peter watches with growing fury as Bakugo and Izuku begin trading blows then the one for all wielder's arm begins to glow as the pair close in for one final attack. Oh No! No Midoriya not now this is a terrible idea! Just as they're upon each other, Izuku dodges to the right, still getting clipped by a blast to the face, and swings his glowing arm upward. The force of the punch shakes the building and even the monitor room just as Bakugo's explosion had. All the anger Peter had disappeared as he stared in awe at the power display. Ochako swiftly uses the buildings instability to a broken column at the floating debris straight into Iida, giving her the opportunity to secure the weapon.

"They won!" Mina exclaims in celebration.

All Might smiles in relief and pride in his student, proud at his quick thinking in the use of his quirk he had only recently received. "THE HERO TEAM WINS!"

Izuku collapses, gingerly holding his injured arm but sporting a small smile, while his bully stares in open disbelief that he had been bested by the student he had tormented for so long. Good, Peter thinks to himself vindictively. The victory may have helped in easing the anger Peter had, but it was still there and he promised that once this day was done, he's gonna have words with Bakugo.

Tokoyami can't help but comment, "The losing team is nearly unscathed, while the winning team has been put through the wringer," he shakes his head, "They may have lost the battle but they have won the war."

The day went on but Peter just could not concentrate, his mind still on a certain blonde student. He paid more attention to the time and finally class was over and they were preparing to return home. Peter notices Bakugo leaving and swiftly goes after him. Midoriya notices Bakugo leaving as well and goes to follow but is stopped by All Might. "Young Midoriya, may I have a word?"

"Y-Yes Sensei!" he looks to where Bakugo had gone and hopes that whatever All Might needs to tell him, it'll be quick so he can catch Bakugo before he leaves.

He follows All Might to his office and the smiling hero closes the door, a few seconds later he deflates back to his near skeletal form. "I would to commend you young midoriya, you handled that battle better than I had expected."

"U-uh thank you All Might, but I could've done better." He rubs his arm that's still in a sling.

"There's always room for improvement true, but how we handle things in the moment is an entirely different thing. When you're in the heat of battle, it's hard to focus, to think. Sometimes all you can do is rely on your instincts. But you did well, you followed your instincts but you kept a cool head… even when your life was in danger."

He starts flailing his hands, "no no-no no! My life wasn't in danger!"

"It could've been. If Bakugo was unhinged, he could very well have killed you and I would've been too slow to save you… again. And for that I must apologize young Midoriya." He bows deeply.

"A-All Might."

"But what I truly wanted to say is, you found yourself a good friend."

"Huh?"

"Out of the entire class, Parker was out spoken about your wellbeing, he even threatened to step in if I didn't do anything. If I was any other teacher, that would've gotten him suspension at least. But I just couldn't hep but admire his conviction, he was willing to take whatever consequence that came his way, just to help someone else. That's a hero if I've ever seen one." He smiles fondly.

Not for the first time, Izuku is speechless by Peter's actions. Once again he can't believe that this person, who he's known far less than Bakugo, has already done more for him than any other person has aside from All Might, his mother, and Uraraka-san.

"You know, he reminds me of a few people I've met in my youth. David Shield, Sir Nighteye. Friendships that I've cherished for the longest time. In their own ways, they helped me become the man I am today… I think this will be the case for the two of you."

Izuku jolts in his seat, "really?"

"Yes, the two of you have strengths and weaknesses that compliment each other more than you may think. You need each other. You need his strength, his will and he needs your compassion, the light in you. I can sense that he's gone through something that fills him with pain, something that still churns the fire in him. That's something I know you can help temper."

Izuku doesn't know what to say. And All Might can see that. He stands wearily from his seat. "I want you to remember this, a lesson I learned too late. A true hero's strength comes not from just brawn and intelligence, but also from his allies."

With that he allows Izuku to leave. The teen smiles as he thinks of the future and the possibilities that come from it. "… oh crap! Bakugo!"

A few minutes earlier

Bakugo sulks as he stomps out the school grounds. He's practically seething inside! All these damn extras! Showing him up! Him! They have nothing on him or his quirk! Hell everyones always said his quirk was Pro hero worthy!... but… he lost. Not just to anyone, but to that useless Deku!

That fucking snake! I bet he's laughing behind my back all these years! Hiding his quirk from me and studying me! How dare he use that to his advantage! But it was just a one time thing! It will Not happen again. Next time, I'll crush him!

"Hey!"

Bakugo stops, Was that?... "the fuck do you want Gaijin?" he asks menacingly.

Peter stops just a few feet in front of him, wearing a glare of his own. The wind blowing between them is the only sound that's made for a few moments. Peter breaks the silence, "Were you really trying to hurt Midoriya?"

Bakugo sniffs, "What's it to you?"

"He's a good guy. Too good. Especially to you. I don't know why he's tolerated your abuse all these years and still for some reason I just can't understand, he admires you."

Peter shakes his head and steps closer, "I don't. Now normally I'm an easy going guy, but there's one thing I hate more than anything in this world, you know what that is?"

The blonde raises his chin proudly and his scowl deepens, "What's that?"

"A bully. Don't care who they are, their size, their quirk or where they're from. I hate bullies. I guess you can say I hate the type of person you are."

"I think you should choose your next words carefully." Bakugo threatens but Peter doesn't back down.

"I think you need to shut the hell up and listen. I've been in his shoes my whole life and I would give anything to give my bully a taste of his own medicine. But on principle I didn't. Cause I could hurt him. But you, you're different. I could do a lot and you'd be able to get back up. So I don't have the same qualms with you. So I'm warning you now, Midoriya admires you too much to do anything about how you treat him. But I couldn't give less a damn about you. So you try and pull a stunt like today with him again. No… you do that with anyone again, I'll knock you down from that pedestal you set yourself up on."

They're practically nose to nose at this point, Bakugo almost growling. Peter's hands are clenched, ready.

"There you are Bakugo! I found you!" A massive hand grabs said blondes shoulder. All Might subtly pulls the two apart as he addresses the blonde, "Listen well my boy, pride is important. You definitely have the abilities needed to become a pro, but there's plenty more that you need—"

"Let go of me, All Might. Now."

"Eh?"

The angry boy pulls himself out of the number one hero's grip, "I'll become a hero that surpasses even you without you telling me!" he glares at Peter, "and I'll crush anyone in my way!" he begins stomping away once again.

AllMight stands awkwardly, "Uh, right." He looks back at Peter, "Did I miss something?"

Peter looks away, "Just boys being boys."

All Might nods slowly, "Riiight. Before you go Peter…"

"Yes Sensei?"

"… You're a good friend to Midoriya. It took courage to speak on his behalf. But I must warn you, I am much more easy going than the rest of the faculty, so I know you may be passionate, but you must exercise self control, for your sake and even Midoriya shonen."

Peter shrinks into himself a bit, "R-right, sorry about that I kinda let the heat of the moment get to me."

All Might laughs jovially while smacking Peter on the back… a bit too hard. "AH HA HA HA HA HA! It's quite alright young Parker, just the flames of youth!"

He looks at the hero with a weirded out expression, "Riiiiiight."

Izuku appears, leaning on his knees with one hand and panting, he msut've run here. "Is Bakugo still here?"

Peter shakes his head, "No you just missed him."

"Damn!"

Peter pats his back softly, "It's not a big deal, whatever you need to say I'm sure it can hold out until tomorrow."

Izuku chews on the inside of his cheek, "Yea I guess your right."

He finally notices All Might, "Oh All Might, you're still hear?"

He looks pointedly at the hero, who begins to notice smoke coming off of him. Alarmed he quickly says, "Oh! Uh I just remembered I have a faculty meeting to get to, have a good day!" and he leaves them in the dust.

"You know, he's not exactly how I imagined him to be."

Midoriya laughs to himself, "If only you knew." He whispers.

"If only I knew what?"

"HUH!?"

"I can hear you remember?"

"Oh uh it's nothing! It's nothing!"

Peter just shrugs and the two start to walk home together, "Hey Midoriya, you studied a lot of heroes right?"

"Yea I have why?"

"This is kinda embarrassing to ask, but you think you can show me what you've written down about fighting styles? I hate to admit, but they're right I don't even know how to properly throw a punch!"

Izuku's eyes widen and his hand goes to his mouth, "Hmmm a fighting style that fits your quirk. There's many different options but it's best to use one that maximizes the use of allyour abilities. Plus with the addition of your web shooters it adds a whole knew factor of projectile weaponry that needs to be addressed as well-"

"IZUKU!"

The boy jumps, "HUH?! WHAT!?"

"Slow it down please? I'm missing every fifth word."

"Oh heheh sorry!"
