rule 13

Chapter 5

Dmitri Smerdyakov hated this, being a messenger boy. But what choice did he have really? He's low on money, his crew was busted just a couple weeks ago thanks to some hero freak in Albania and it didn't take long for them to start squealing. He made it out of their hideout by the skin of his teeth and nothing else. All their assets were seized. Not that he owned a lot of what was seized. He was always was the smarter of the bunch and kept his assets far from everyone elses. But most of his gear was taken. Sure he could still use traditional ways of slipping in and out of a crowd, but his gear always made things much easier. But there's no use in crying over spilled milk. He has to make do with what he got, taking small jobs to help him start over again. And to start over, one needs money. So when he caught word that someone from America needed a message to be sent to shadow figures in Japan for a pretty penny, Dmitri thought, why not? Everyone else was too scared to take the job, but Dmitri was no coward. And getting in and out of situations no career criminal should find himself in, is what he does best. Plus the pay would be phenomenal! So that's why he finds himself walking in the middle of the night in a city overly saturated with Pro-heroes looking for a bar with no name.

It took about another hour and many curses later until he finally reached a small door wedged in a tiny Alley. He knocks in the exact pattern he was told to knock and waited. A few moments later, the door opened and he walked in. The door shuts behind him as he barely cleared it. Dmitri doesn't let any emotions betray his false face as he notices a man in a bartending suit… who's body looks to be made out of a dark purple smoke. And sitting in the bar is a very pale man with hands all over his body and one on his face. Dmitri smirks a little. He's seen enough dismembered body parts to know a real one when he sees one. My kinda guy.

"I bring message from boss." The Russian announces in a flawless imitation of broken Japanese.

The hand-covered villain just sighs, "This is a waste of time."

But he turns on a monitor anyway, the words sound only being displayed. Dmitri takes his briefcase and opens it then he presses a button and a holographic screen is displayed, with Norman Osborn's head floating. "Gentlemen."

"What is this?"

The voice from the monitor speaks, "Calm yourself Shigaraki, let us hear what he has to say." He begins to address Osborn, "I was surprised and a little skeptical that the face of Oscorp not only knew who I was, but also seeked an audience with me."

"You'll find that to get to the position I'm in, one must have a long reach."

"Right you are, now tell me. What was so important to you that you risked breaking laws and drawing attention to yourself by contacting and associating with 'villains?'"

Osborn smirks, "Straight to the point I see. I want to make a proposal; you see I have dedicated my life to the study of quirks. How they work, what activates them… how to activate them. At long last I found the answer to it."

"I doubt it, because if you had, we would not be having this conversation." Points out the mysterious voice.

"In a perfect world you'd be right. But things have become complicated. My previous partner had destroyed the formula to which activated quirks in people, then his son crossed my attention." He gestures to his side and another pop up display comes into sight, with Peter Parker's face, "Peter Parker. One of the newest students in UA and the first recipient of an artificial quirk. My goal is simple, I need him so that I can study him and continue my research."

"This is all very interesting," this voice said with a condescending amusement in his voice, "but what would make me care about this?"

"I'm glad you asked. It was never my intention to horde artificial quirk manufacture to myself, I would like to give it back to the world and you would be my first client." Osborn proposes.

A chuckle resounds in the room as if Norman had made a joke. Shigaraki starts scratching his neck irritably, "We don't need an elitist for help with something we can figure out ourselves!"

"Shigaraki! Be quiet!"

Tomura stops scratching and jumps at the sternness of the voice. Osborn smirks imperceptibly as he sees an opening and he continues, "Now I understand that a man of your rumored ability, would have no problem doing so himself. But using just one simple method is too risky wouldn't you say? What if something happened to your operation? Or what if something happened to you?"

Shigaraki starts to stalk towards the hologram, "Are you threatening us?"

"No. I am simply asking you all to consider every outcome. I'm not saying you need me, but in a world overflowing with 'pro heroes', having allies can come a long way. Wouldn't you agree?" Osborn studies each person in the room.

Obviously, Shigaraki isn't the most pleased but from what Osborn can deduce, he's not the one who makes the decisions. Besides his childish antics shows he'd never get far with him. The bartender's smoky appearance makes it nearly impossible to determine his thoughts, but his body language looked relaxed enough. The real question, was in the man in the monitor. Would he say yes?

Silence reigned supreme until finally, "Your point does have merit, I will admit that. Say I would agree to your proposal, what would you have us do?"

Osborn allows himself to smile at the small victory.

"So why exactly are you showing me these dancing videos?" Peter asks with his feet propped up on Midoriya's desk.

He and Aunt May had paid a visit to their neighbors so as to give Peter and Midoriya some time to train together as well as allow Inko and May to hang out. It didn't take long for the two women to become friends, May was especially relieved because being in a completely new country with no one you knew was a very daunting task. But their neighbors went out of their way to make them feel welcomed and helped with the transition. Plus the two shared a common liking to tea which helped their friendship blossom.

"It's not exactly dancing. W-well it is b-but it's a dance like fighting style called Capoeira. It's a Brazilian martial art used by Paragon from Brazil. It's known for it's constant movement and use of acrobatics. I-I thought it'd work well with your quirk." He looks down, embarrassed.

Peter sighs, "Midoriya, I appreciate it, I really do. You gotta stop feeling embarrassed though. I was only muttering."

"wondering.*"

"That's what I meant."

The two shared a smile while Peter finished eating his noodles and threw the container over his shoulder and into the garbage bin. He does a double take, "Seriously? So when I'm not trying, I'm a perfect shot but when I'm taking a damn ball throwing test in front of the entire class I screw it up, this sucks." He grumbles.

Izuku suppresses a chuckle and shakes his head. He clicks the next video and it shows the luchador pro-hero Crusher Hogan performing a finishing move on a hapless villain disrupting peaceful civilian lives. Peter leans forward to get a better look. "Heh now that's what I'm talking about!"

"What really?"

"Yea! I've always been a big fan of wrestling! Who knows maybe in a different life I would've used my powers to be the world champion wrestler!"

Izuku mutters, "I'm pretty sure that'd be cheating."

"Still I like his moves," he leanes back and rubs his chin, " maybe I can incorporate some of that into my fighting style."

Izuku starts muttering as he begins writing in his notebook, "A mix of wrestling and capoeira for a fighting style might actually work as both use acrobatic movements for maximum impact. Parker's quirk works best if he's constantly moving, preferably in a hit and run tactic—"

"Midoriya!"

He jumps, "Ah! Sorry! I got carried away."

Peter shakes his head then says, "I think that's enough about me, what about you?"

He blinks, "Huh? What about me?"

"We gotta start figuring something out about your quirk cause you breaking a bone every time you use it is badass, but really impractical."

Izuku rubs his right arm unconsciously as he recalls Aizawa's words, "Yea, impractical."

The American teenager stands and crosses his arms over his chest, "Alright, come on activate your quirk."

"W-WHAT?!"

"I said activate your quirk!"

"I-I-I-I Can't! I need to hit something and then my arm will be broken!" midoriya exclaims.

"You don't need to hit anything, just try turning it on or whatever it is you do."

Izuku fumbles onto his feet, "b-but—"

"Midoriya, do you want to practically paralyze yourself every time you fight?"

"N-no." he answers while stwiddling his thumbs.

"Then let's start practicing! Come on do it!"

Izuku trembles a bit but does so. Red lightning arcs through his arm. He grits his teeth in pain as he feels the bones begin to creak.

"Stop! Stop!"

Izuku shuts off one for all and falls to his knees, clutching his arm. Peter is hovering over him, "Are you ok? Anything broken?"

"no, engh, just feels strained."

Peter sighs in relief and rubs his forehead, "Why do you focus your power on one arm? I've seen you use it on your fingers and your legs to jump? Why not just apply it all over?"

Izuku looks at him like he's insane, "My bones shatter every time I activate one f—I mean my quirk! If I do that then my entire body will fall apart!"

This only makes the spider powered teen more confused, "I still don't get it."

Izuku remembers what All Might had told him earlier, "Right now when it comes to my quirk I'm either at 0 or 100%, no in between." He looks at his hands glumly.

" What's it like anyway? Your quirk?"

Izuku jumps a little and rubs his head, "Oh uh, the best way to describe I thought was a egg in a microwave about to pop at any moment."

Peter stares at his green haired friend, trying to wrap his head around that… example. "Riiiiiiiiight. Hm. Only 0 to 100. Have you had any luck lowering the intensity?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean instead of going on 100 all the time, maybe just slow it to 50 or something. I know that when my quirk um activated, my strength was in a flux. At first it was like I had complete control but then I guess it settled and suddenly I start breaking every cup I held."

Izuku's eyes widen from the confession, "Really?!"

Peter looks sheepish, "Yea heheh, aunt May tore me a new one when I shattered her favorite mug. But anywho, I had to teach myself to adjust. Applying only the appropriate amount of power."

A question forms in Izuku's mind and it forces it's way out, "But if your quirk is permanently on that means that you have to take constant care at all times?"

He nods, "Yea, I'm always keeping track of how I run into people or how I open a door because if I don't realize it, I could break something. Or someone. I think the best description I had was turning on the hot water in a bath, you don't just put it to boiling hot right away, you slowly raise the temperature until you get used to it then continue."

Then it hits him, Izuku has been looking at it all wrong. He's been looking at one for all as a special move. But All Might doesn't use it like that. His entire body is powered by one for all for the entire time he's active. Quirks, they're a part of your body, an extension! I need to think of one for all more evenly, as an extension of my body! Suddenly the red lightning starts to crackle throughout Izuku's body and Peter takes a step back, a slight tingle at the base of his skull. What the hell is he doing?

If I can use my one for all at 5% like breathing, then my body won't break! I can be like All Might! He growls as he activates one for all 5% full cowling! Izuku can feel the power pulsing in him, dancing under his skin. He can feel it energizing him, strengthening him, but it's not like when he used smash, it's different now. More controlled! He begins laughing gleefully. "I've got it!"

Peter throws his hands up shocked, stammering, "I uh, how, you- this is—Cool!"

Midoriya smile starts to drop as the red light dims and shuts off and he falls on his face.

"What's going on in there? Are you boys alright we heard a bang!" Aunt May's muffled voice asks.

"Nothing! Nothing! I just dropped my textbook on the ground!"

"Ok, but remember what I said no powers in the house! If I find another hole in the wall with webs covering it, I'm putting you in lockdown!"

"I promise Aunt May! We're ok!" he steps closer to his friend and pokes his head, "…. M-Midoriya?.. you are ok right?"

The greenette groans as he lifts himself off the ground slowly. "Yea, I'm ok. I guess I'm not used to using it like that. B-but I got it! I activated my quirk through my whole body without injury! I can't wait to tell All Might!"

Peter raises an eyebrow, "Why would you tell All Might?"

Izuku slaps his hands over his mouth, screaming in his head at the slip up. " I-I-I mean All Might? Why would I need to tell All Might?!"

"That's what I just asked you."

Izuku tries to figure out what to say but Peter stops him, " Midoriya, you know you're my friend right?"

He nods, trepidation clearly written on his face.

"I understand better than anyone that some things, you just want to keep to yourself. If you don't want to tell me whatever this," he gestures to Midoriya, " is, that's fine. If I'm asked I don't have to lie." I already have to do enough of that as it is. "But don't think of me as an idiot ok? Just let me know if that's something you don't want to talk about. No judgment ok?"

"O-ok. Thank you Parker-kun."

"No problem! Now let's get back into it. I think you just got promoted to my sparring partner!"

The next day

As Peter walks to the school entrance his phone rings and he answers. "Hello?"

"Hey Kid!"

A large grin cracks open on Peter's face, "Mr Stark! I-I wasn't expecting you to call me!"

"Why wouldn't I call? I have your number for a reason."

"Oh, yea that's a good point." He mumbles. "So what brings this?"

"What I can't call you to see how you're doing?"

He starts flailing about, "No! No! that's not what I meant to imply! I mean you're such a busy man being a pro hero and running a company-"

Tony's laughter breaks Peter's word vomit, "I'm just pulling your leg kid. But I did call to see how you're doing. Any problems adjusting?"

Peter shoulders his bookbag, "N-not really. I mean I still have some trouble with speaking and writing Japanese but I'm getting the hang of it. Plus everyone's so nice here it's kinda weird."

"Would you prefer the horrors of middle school?"

"No! haha Definitely not, just not used to meeting so many friendly people."

Tony's smirk is powerful enough to be felt through the phone, "Are any of these friendly people, friendly ladies?"

A blush creeps onto his face, "What?! No! I mean y-yes! Everyones friendly boy and and girl! There's no reason to discriminate!"

"Really so not one girl has caught your eye? Everyone's the same?"

"Everyone's unique!... well there's one girl who's really eye catching." A memory of Momo Yaoyorozu briefly crosses his mind.

"Look at you, first week of school and already killing it with the ladies!"

"No ones killing it with anyone!" he shrinks into himself and mutters, " Besides I've barely talked to her."

"Kid I'm just teasing. I'm glad things are going well for you. That wasn't the only reason why I called though, I wanted to let you know that pretty soon I'll be staying in Japan for a while."

"What really?!"

"Yea! I'll be watching over construction for a new Stark Industries headquarters and thought I'd also keep an eye on you while I'm here."

Peter is suddenly very happy of now being able to see his idol more. But he can't shake the feeling that he didn't deserve this and that it was too much. First he helps him and Aunt May move here and set her with a job, plus help him get into one of the most prestigious schools in the world and now he's gonna watch over him? He tries to voice this to Tony but he's having none of it.

"Hey stow that talk kid! I made a promise that I would help and I will! But don't think for one second that I've handed everything over to you in a silver platter, you've made it this far because of your own merit. Don't sell yourself short!"

He sighs, "I'll try."

"Good! Just keep up the good work and I'll make sure that your internship with me will be as fun as I can make it."

"Internship!?"

"Yea, after the sports festival you'll normally be scouted by some pro heroes but I'll let you know now that your spot with me is secure."

Peter is shocked into silence. An internship with Ironman?! This is his dream come true! " Unless you don't want that?"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? THAT'S MY DREAM! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'LL HAVE AN INTERNSHIP WITH IRONMAN!"… "i-I mean I look forward to it sir."

His face reddens at the sound of amused laughter form the pro hero, "I appreciate the enthusiasm Parker. I gotta go, try to have fun today."

The phone call ends and Peter groans. "Way to make a fool out of yourself Peter, maybe you'll maximize the next opportunity to look like a dork?"

Once he's near the main entrance of UA he sees a sea of reporters swarming any student who tries to pass and he's too late to avoid their stares as their eyes land on him and he suddenly feels like a fish surrounded by sharks. "Damn Parker luck!"

The reporters suddenly swarm around him with constant questions being thrown , cameras pressed to his face and all he can do is say, "huh?"

"How are All Might's classes?"

"What's it like to be in the same school as the number one hero?"

"What is your quirk?"

Question after question is thrown and he feels his breath get shorter and shorter and his space closing in. A hand catches his collar and pulls him while the questions keep piling on and he finds himself safely away from all the reporters. He gets ahold of his knees and pants roughly. He goes to thank who ever it was that pulled him but sees clothes floating in the air.

"Oh uh Toru right?"

"Yup! It looked like you needed some help there." she seems to be in a cheerful pose and Peter sports an embarrassed expression.

"Yea thanks. I uh have a bad case of stage fright."

She tries to reassure him, "Oh it's nothing to be embarrassed about! Sometimes I go through it to and I'm very thankful that my quirk makes me invisible." He can tell she's tilted her head and scratching at her hair. Then she asks, "but you seemed to be ok during the battle training?"

"The mask helps, it's why I had designed my costume that way. It kinda gives me the protection you get when you're on the internet you know? No one can see my face and I'm free to act or say what I want." He explains.

"Oh! That's a good point! Maybe I should wear one."

"… no offense but I think it would be a moot point."

She laughs as they get to the class, "You're right but maybe one day I can find a way to make it work with my quirk!"

He hums and takes his seat, he smiles at the raven haired teen next to him, "Morning Yaoyorozu!"

She politely smiles back, "Good morning Parker-san."

Mina makes an appearance sitting on Mom's desk. "did you see all those reporters outside! I knew All Might draws attention wherever he goes, but that was just crazy!"

"It was the perfect time to show how dazzling I am!" Aoyama poses, somehow sparkling while he does it.

How does he do that everytime he poses?

"still it was pretty hard to manage getting through all of them at first." Sero comments.

Kaminari points his thumb at Iida with a smirk, "it's a good thing Iida took all the heat and bored them to death."

The bespeckled teen fumes, "how dare—I was trying to honor our school and our fellow classmates by praising it's directives as well as the care for our continued education!"

Kaminari leans to Peter and whispers loudly, "Still bored everyone!"

"I heard that!"

Aizawa enters the room and everyone instantly gets to their seats, "good, you're all learning quickly." Bored tone still in effect, "Good work on yesterday's combat training. I saw the videos and results. Bakugo, you're talented, so don't act like a kid."

The blonde grimaces t the reprimand but bites his tongue. "I know."

"Midoriya," the teen snaps to attention, " you settled it by breaking your arms… again." His tone becomes more serious, " You can't keep saying you can't help it because you can't control your quirk."

Though he is embarrassed by being called out in front of the class, he sends a knowing smile to Peter who returns it, both being the only ones aware of his new improvement. Aizawa follows his line of sight and settles his gaze on Peter, who's spider sense alerts him of the dangerous air around his teacher.

"Mr Parker."

(gulps) "Yes Sensei?"

"You did a fine job as well. But don't get too over confident, you rely too much on your quirk and use too much energy to make up for your lack of technique. This may be your first time, but make sure you keep it in mind for future reference. Training only gets harder from here. And try not to talk too much during combat."

"I can make no promises on that one sensei."

Aizawa sighs and applies some eye drops to sooth the dryness. "Now let's get down to homeroom business,. Sorry about the late notice, but today, I'll have you…"

The class leans in, waiting with baited breath for the revelation… are we taking another special test?!

"… decide on a class representative."

A collective relief washes over the class as their anxiety subsides, "Oh thank goodness something normal!" Mina fans her face with a grateful smile.

But that relief turned into a competitive energy as student after student offer volunteer themselves to be class representative. First Kirishima, then Kaminari, then Jiro. Mineta even throws his hat in the ring, " My manifesto is for all girls skirts to be much shorter!"

Peter leans to Momo, "That's not allowed for him to decide right?"

She glares at the purple headed pervert, "even if it was I wouldn't go along with it."

He nods, "You wanna be class rep?"

"Of course, as a student who was enrolled to UA by recommendations, it is my duty to take on the responsibility of Class Representative."

He raises an eyebrow, unsure if she was trying to brag or not. She turns to him curiously, "Don't you?"

With a shrug he answers, " I like different school activities and extra curriculum as much as the next nerd but class rep was never one of my things."

She frowns, "Oh, that's sad. I personally think you wouldn't be so bad, at least as a vice student representative."

He does a double take and catches the small curling of her lips, "You're teasing me aren't you?"

"That would be unbecoming of the class Representative."

"You mean a candidate?"

Soon enough it was decided that they would all vote for who the class thinks would be best as class representative. It took a little while to organize everything but eventually all votes were cast and the results were written on the board. The two with the highest votes were Izuku Midoriya with 4, Peter Parker with 3, and Momo Yaoyorozu with 2. "What the hell?!" Peter exclaims.

At the same time Izuku makes his feelings known, " I GOT 4 VOTES?!"

His old classmate knocks his chair down once he sees the results, "Why Deku?! Who voted for him?!"

Sero can't help but poke fun, "well, it's better than voting for you."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BASTARD?!"

it's a good thing Bakugo wasn't looking in Peter's direction because the spider powered teen was failing to keep his laughter in check, he just found his favorite vein on Bakugo's forehead that pops out whenever he screams. He does feel bad at the downcast vibe he feels from Tenya, yikes not a single vote? That's a bit harsh.

"How disgraceful." His ears pick up a small whisper coming from Momo.

"Oh uh, sorry."

She looks surprised but covers it with a smile, "It's fine. It was a fair vote after all."

He can clearly see through her tone though, she's disappointed. Before he can comment further Aizawa calls attention to the class again. Later on Peter goes to his class with support. He grabs the door handle but tenses for a second. … ok no exploision right now. This might be a safe day at support! As soon as he walks through his spider sense flairs and he moves his head out the way just in time for a metal shrapnel to imbed itself on the door where his head was.

"Oops! Sorry! Baby mark 452 was a little excited!"

Normally he'd be exasperated by the pink haired student but at this point, Peter's used to it. " I swear sometimes you just cause something to explode because you're bored."

"Nonsense! I don't find any enjoyment in completely restarting a project form scratch by causing it to self destruct just because it saves time over disassembling it!"

He sweat drops, "You're smile doesn't match your sentence."

She laughs and changes the subject, "So what're you working on today?"

He settles himself over his work table and rolls up his sleeves, laying down a few of his web shooters and cartridges. "I wanna see if I can upgrade my web formula and my web shooters, add a little razzle dazzle if you will."

A gleam comes over her eyes and she studies one of the catridges, " I still can't believe how much fluid you can fill one compartment one, it's amazing that it doesn't burst all over you!"

He glares at Power loader who clearly doesn't care to hide his guffaw. Peter snatches the web cartridge out of her hands, "how many times do I have to tell you to be mindful of your phrasing!"

"I normally tune out everything when I'm interested in someones baby!"

"… I beg you to please refrain from using the term baby like you do."

"Can't make promises I can't keep! So what do you have in mind? A larger container for the fluid?"

"I'm trying to figure out a way to cut down on my reload time whenever I use up a cartridge, it's a bit impractical having to do it manually during a battle." He starts disassembling his web shooter as he talks.

Two hands grab ahold of his shoulders and he feels a softness press onto his back. Two of them actually. His blush returns full force as Hatsume hovers over his shoulders, staring at his invention, "Have you thought about adding a carousel system so that it automatically discards a cartridge while simultaneously loading a new one for instant use?"

"... No… I actually did not! That's a really good idea!"

She smacks him happily on his back, a little too hard but he digresses. "Always happy to help! But now that I've scratched your back…"

He pales as an evil look takes over her features and she pulls out a new invention form behind her, "I need help testing out Baby 453!"

Power Loader shakes his head with a smile. He's happy that Peter is in his class. Yes it comes with the benefit of him being the new main victim of Hatsume's experimentation but that's not the only reason he's happy. He's glad to see Hatsume interacting with other students, even if it's just one. He's sees a lot of himself in her, including the bad quality of isolating herself from others to devote more time to inventing. It's a useful quality for sure, but if its not balanced, it gets lonely. And sometimes you don't realize it until much later in life. Hopefully with Parker's help, it won't come to that for Hatsume.

After class and a false alarm where it was revealed that overly enthusiastic reporters had tripped the school security system, the class is assembled once again with both Peter and Izuku standing in front of the board, addressing the class as the Representatives. Izuku tries pushing Peter up to talk first, but being too nervous Peter resists and tries shoving Izuku forward. Both are stuck in a back and forth before finally Peter, albeit regretfully, uses his strength to push Izuku forward almost knocking him down.

"N-Now, let us decide on the other class officers… But first, can I say something?"

Peter's curiously listens to Izuku, wondering what he suddenly found the courage to say. "I think… Tenya Iida should be the class rep after all!"

Said Teen smiles incredulously, as does Peter. "He was able to get everyone's attention in such a cool way. I think it would be best for Iida to do it!"

Riding on his coat tails, Peter chimes in, "I agree and I elect Momo to take my place as Vice Class Representative!"

The class snickers as he said that a little too quickly, with his voice coming out a little too high. They all start to add in their agreements,

Karishima, "I'm fine with that! Modirya is saying it, and it's true that Iida was a big help at the cafeteria today."

"Yea! And he looked like the person on the emergency exit signs, didn't he?"

Tenya nods thankfully to Midoriya, who returns it kindly and Momo gives Peter a small smile… and he has trouble keeping the blood from rushing to his face.

"You're wasting time." Of course he'd say that. "I don't care what you do, just hurry up and do it!"

Tenya and Mom take their places and address the class anew, "I thank you all for the nomination and that is why, from this day forth, I; Tenya Iida, promise to do my best to carry out the duties of class representative!"

Momo stands proudly, "It may not be the position I wanted, but I'll work hard nonetheless!"

"Alright that's enough of that. Now that everything has been settled it we'll continue with today's basic Hero training. Now it had turned into a class with 3 instructors, All Might, me , and one other person."

Izuku's is surprised, turned into? I wonder if this is a special case?

Sero raises his hand behind him, "Excuse me! What'll we be doing?"

Aizawa digs into his jackets pocket then shows the class the card, the word Rescue prominently displayed. "Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. It's rescue training."

Excited smiles started to grow, despite how crazy basic training was last time, it still was cool to take part in it and getting a chance to take another step closer to being a hero caused everyones hearts to bump faster!

"Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time, too." Kaminari notes.

But that doesn't deter Mina's anticipation, "Right?!"

"Idiot, this is the duty of a hero! My arms are ready to rumble!"

"No one can beat me in water, ribbit."

But their homeroom teacher cuts their enthusiasm short, "Hey, I'm not done. You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time."

Peter shrugs, "Eh I might as well get used to it."

Sero's confused, "Why? Is it uncomfortable?"

"Yea they used a very durable rubber for the suit. I mean it's breathable but it chafes like hell… and it sometimes gets itchy… and it rides up in the crotch too."

The tape powered teen gives him an unimpressed look but still says, "I had the same problem, but baby powder is the way to go when it comes to the chafing part. Though I'd recommend using briefs instead of boxers for when it rides up."

Peter begins to blush a bit, "Yeeeea… I'm-I'm not using boxers."

"Oh you're already wearing briefs?"

"Umm… Not exactly." he replies in a small hesitant voice.

Mina squints and grins conspiratorially, "Wait I get it, you're going commando under your suit aren't you!"

"WHAT?! I mean well yea but—"

the class starts to laugh at his embarrassment with Mineta commenting, "Oh so he's that type of pervert?"

"I AM NOT A PERVERT!"

"Though it's pervert like, he's reasonings behind it are actually practical as some pro heroes do comment how uncomfortable their suits make them when explaining any costume change." Tsuyu says in his defense.

"Thanks Asui, I think."

She smiles, "Call me Tsu."

"Ok, Tsu it is!"

"Enough with the hazing class!" The underground hero barks and they get back to their seats.

He pinches the bridge of his nose, "Teenagers.(sigh)"

He presses a button that opens up the wall holding their costumes, "the training will take place off-campus, so we're taking a bus. That is all. Start getting ready."

"I think everyone should leave so that Parker-san can get naked in peace." Kirishima yells, brining another round of laughter much to Peter's embarrassment.

"Shut up!"

A few minutes later

The spider powered teen groans when he sees Mina giggling as she makes a show of checking him out, unconsciously covering his privates while doing so. "I never thought I'd see the day, a male classmate being objectified."

Peter sighs, "Jiro you too?"

She puts her hands up while smiling, "Don't worry I'm not making any comments, just surreal, normally we have Mineta making us uncomfortable."

He shakes his head, "yea I've met some weird people in my life but never at his level, how have you not deafened him?"

"Oh trust me I'm tempted!"

"We all are at this point." Momo joins in the conversation.

Don't be like Mineta Peter, just keep looking at her face keep looking at her face!

"I would like to apologize Parker-san."

"What for?"

"For not speaking up in your behalf when the class made comments concerning your costume. I had a similar conversation with my parents when I showed them my designs, my quirk makes these choices necessary. But to appease them I made it less revealing." She explains.

Again Peter's thankfully for his mask, Do not make a mental picture! "It's our choice at the end of the day, it's cool that you stood by your decision though!... I'm not going to comment any further concerning your costume because it'd seem too pervy coming from a guy." He admits.

The two girls blink, "Wow, that's actually thoughtful."

"Breath of fresh air." Jiro mumbles.

"Oh look the bus!" Peter rushes in, the class following suit. Peter rolls his eyes at Bakugo who takes any chance he can to glare at anyone who looks his way… so naturally Peter positions himself to have Bakugo in his line of sight. Is he staring at him or somewhere else? Heh Bakugo won't know.

"THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT GAIJIN?!"

"The bear in your cave."

Bakugo's hand flies to his nose but finds nothing and he snarls like an animal at Peter who's chuckling at his expense, "Made ya look!"

Tenya slumps next to Peter, "The buses open layout ruined my boarding strategy."

Mina pats his back cheerfully, "there was no point huh?"

"I say whatever comes to mind." Tsuyu declares, "Midoriya-chan."

"Um, yes Asui?"

"Call me Tsu."

"R-right…"

"You're quirk is like All Might's."

Peter once again notices the color drain from his neighbors face. What's up with him and All Might?

"Y-Y-You think so? But I'm… uh…" he turns away nervously, trying to think of something to say.

First he says he'll tell All Might about his power up and gets flustered when he's compared to All Might?... hmmm… is he… no… but maybe… could he be All Might's secret Love child?!

"wait a sec, Tsu, All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his quirk." The red haired teen points out, much to Izuku's relief.

"Still I bet it's cool to have a flashy quirk, you could do some pretty cool stuff with it. Mine's pretty strong, but it's nothing like you or even Parker's."

"What me?"

"Yea! Your quirk is awesome! You and Asui can do so much more than just hardening your body like me! Plus you can shoot out webs!"

"Not naturally."

"Yea but still!"

"~My navel laser is the flashiest quirk here!~" once again Aoyama is twinkling.

"But it doesn't do too good when it hurt's your stomach!" Mina retorts cheekily.

"Well if anyone here's got the loudest quirks, all we got to do is look at Todoroki and Bakugo." Kirishima points the two boys out, neither one really acknowledging the statement.

Asui puts a finger on her chin,"True but Todoroki is too stoic and besides Bakugo is always angry so I don't think he'll ever be popular."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!? I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"

Peter clutches his stomach as he doubles over laughing hard.

"See?"

"AND WHAT'RE YOU LAUGHING AT GAIJIN?!"

"I'm laughing at the fact everyone can pick up in two seconds that you're personality is equivalent to that of a used enema!"

"YOU WATCH YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH I'LL KILL YOU!"

"HA!"

Aizawa feels the bus start to slow, "Thank you. We're here. Everyone get ready."

The bus comes to a stop and the door opens, allowing the class to exit and form a neat line. They marvel at the large dome, so large Peter's sure that a small city could fit inside. "how did they find the money to build this stuff?" he wonders.

His wonder continues to increase as they get inside and his eyes roams over the incredible scenery,. Six different sections were laid out, each one with different themes. One seemed to be under rain, another was on fire, there was a shipwreck in the body of water and even an entire mountain range. Then he notices the other instructor approaching,

"It's the space hero, Thirteen! The gentlemanly hero who has rescued tons of people from disasters!" Izuku fanboys.

To be fair, most of the class is fanboying at the moment, even Ururaka, "Oh I love Thirteen!"

"Hello class, here is the training ground that I made with different types of accidents and disasters. It's called the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint'. Or you can simply say USJ for short."

It really is USJ, they all think in unison.

Aizawa approaches Thirteen and despite him whispering, Peter can still hear the conversation, not that he was trying to mind you. "About that," thirteen holds up 3 fingers, " It looks like he did too much hero work on his way to work and ran out of time, so he's resting in the lounge."

Peter's eyes widen, "Out of time?" What do they mean out of time? Is soemthign wrong with All Might?

Izuku heard Peter and he starts to freak out internally, Oh no! he must've heard something about All Might's time limit! This is bad, he's already suspecting something, and he's smart enough to connect everything together!

Peter continues his musings until his spider sense tingles, much more intensely then before. He grunts and holds his head, which of course draws attention. "Parker-kun are you ok?" Momo asks.

Peter then looks at Aizawa, "Sensei! Somethings wrong!"

"What do you mean?"

"I can sense something's coming, danger!"

Before he can ask Peter to elaborate, a black vortex opens swirls open near the fountain, gorwing larger and larger until a person walks through. His hair is unkempt and a light blue color, his eyes are blood red, his clothes are raggedy and the most disturbing part is the series is pale hands attached to his body, with one covering his face. There's no time to dwell on his appearance though because more and more people come out of the vortex, some looking normal while others clearly have physical mutations. A lot of them were carrying guns though, others had weapons while some seemed to be fused to weapons.

"Oh man!"

Aizawa gets into a defensive position in front of the class, "Stick together now and don't move! Thirteen protect the students!"

"What is this?" Kirshima asks confused, " I thought this was a rescue exercise?"

"No this is real." Peter states seriously.

He gets himself next to Aizawa but he pushes Peter back, "Stay with the class and don't engage!"

"What!? But we can help!" Peter angrily exclaims.

Aizawa, "You are untrained unlicensed heroes, you'll only get hurt!"

"There's too many of them! You'll end up dead without any help!"

"It's my job to protect you all rememeber? No matter the cost! Now get back to the class!"

Peter is severely conflicted, he wants to help he truly does, but Aizawa is right, these are real villains he hasn't faced anything like this before, it's safer be with the class. He does as he's told.

A gigantic creature walks through the vortex, it's skin was so dark it was almost purple, it's mouth had exposed teeth and it was shaped like a beak. It's eyes were lifeless and stared aimlessly to the side while it's brain, ti was completely exposed. And yet it listened when the hand covered villain made it stop with a simple gesture.

Fear grips most of the class, "villains?! This can't be! There's no way they could get into a hero school!" Kirishima exclaims.

Mom steps forward, "Sensei, what about the trespasser sensor?"

"We have them of course," thirteen answers, " But…"

Todoroki wonders, "Did they only appear here or around the whole school?"

Peter wonders the same thing too. He clenches his fists tightly, there could be a lot of people in danger right now and all they're doing is standing around! "Dammit!"

Momo rests her chin on her fist, "This was clearly planned. An isolated area off campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. These villains are smart. But what's the goal?"

Eraserhead secures his goggles over his eyes, "Thirteen start evacuating the students, then try calling the school. These villains even had something to counteract the sensors. It's possible someone with radio-wave type powers is interfering so Kaminari, try using your quirk to either throw it off or call for help. I'm counting on you!"

"But sensei, you can't fight them alone!" Izuku yells, Peter nods in agreement.

"No hero is a one trick pony…" he mutters before activating his scarf while rushing down into battle.

Peter is impressed to see that he's immediately taking down quite a few villains all by himself. But there's a small voice in his head, telling him he needs to do something, telling him that he can't just leave Aizawa by himself. He wrestles with himself on what he should do. Izuku sees that while everyone has started running to the exit, Peter has stayed in place. "Parker-san?"

Peter looks to Izuku then Aizawa. Then back. I should leave with everyone else, I'm not trained to fight these people yet, I could end up dying…. Like… like uncle Ben. He died… because I didn't do anything. His decision was made. Peter runs towards Aizawa.

"PARKER!" Thirteen and Izuku yells.

Peter ignores his friends cries and jumps high into the air then shoots a web to the ground below, he yanks on it and he's propelled to the heart of the battle. He whoops and delivers a double split front kick on two thugs infront of Aizawa at the same time and uses the momentum to leap onto the shoulders of two other thugs and slam their heads together. He jumps off them into a backflip and lands sitting on the shoulder sof another thug.

"Hey what the he—"

Peter hooks his feet under his arms them flips back and flings him into a group behind him. The class is dumbfounded by Peter's actions.

"Wow, he's really good!" Kaminari says.

Izuku can't help but feel proud at his friend, he's using the moves they studied the other night! Aizawa finally notices Peter near him and his face twist into that of anger.

"I told you to stay out of this!"

"Sorry Sensei but I can't stand in the sidelines when someone needs help!"

"You'll end up being the one needing help if you don't leave right now!"

"Sorry I cant hear you over the sound of my foot meeting this guys face!"

Peter thrusts his body up while planting a hand behind him, swinging his leg into a perfect martelo de negative kick then knocks the incoming villain back and Peter pushes off the ground kicking the villain again under the chin, which puts him on his back. But Peter is still on the move as he flips in the air, lands on the villain feet first the jumps into a backflip, delivering a double punch midair into two thugs, knocking them out before he even lands.

"Whoa! That was so awesome! Scary as all hell but awesome!"

"PARKER! LEAVE NOW!"

"I'm helping you!"

Avillain tries to throw two hooks but peter dodges them both, while also webbing both hands them leaping up and onto the rather large hero's back and yanking on him like a bull. "Toro toro!"

The villain starts running and Peter steers him into a group of thugs. He then jumps off and traps them to the ground in webs. "see? And you were complaining about—"

His spider sense flairs and suddenly a black vortex opens under his feet, "Oh… shit…"

He yelps as he falls through and he finds himself falling towards the mountain range, "Whoa! WHOA! Ground coming in hot!"

He tries to slow his free fall but sees there's nothing to attach any webs to and he scrunches his eyes closed in anticipation, "This is gonna hurt so bad!"

Moments later he hits the ground hard, a small crater forming around his body. He groans painfully as he slowly crawls out of the crater and rolls onto his back. "I was wrong, it hurts so much worse. Ok let's do a quick checklist. Arms? Check. Legs? Check. Head? Slightly loose but still attached. Ok time to get up pete."

He stands and stretches his back painfully. He checks his surroundings, "looks like I'm still in USJ, but now I'm in the mountain area? All alone too."

Then his spider sense tingled and he get's into a defensive stance, "I stand corrected."

He hears a little laughter behind him and sees a guy in nothing but briefs, "um ok sir I wish you luck in your aspirations to be an underwear model but I don't think this the right place to apply."

The man smiles dangerously, "It's all good, I applied for a different job and luckily, I was hired."

His body begins to glow and lava like liquid crawls over his skin until it solidifies and he seems to be glowing gold with flames dancing over his body. He holds up a fireball in his hand, "Any last words kid?"

"… Humina humina humina comes to mind."
