With great power comes great responsibility. Those were the words Jaune Arc heard every day from his Uncle. Jaune didn't ever truly consider these words until after his untimely death. Jaune blamed himself. He had unlocked his aura just the week prior to his uncle's death. Alongside increased strength, agility and stamina, his semblance allowed his to stick to all surfaces and shoot webs from his hands. But the greatest part of his new skill set was his spider sense. A sixth sense that warned him when he was in immediate danger.
Jaune was thrilled with these new powers to say the least. His Uncle, Ben, upon unlocking his aura for him, repeated his famous mantra.
"Remember Jauney, with great power comes…"
"…great responsibility, I know, I know." Jaune grinned as he finished his uncle's sentence. He ran out the door, eager to master his new found power. Little did he know it would be the last time conversation he would have with his Uncle.
That was 6 months ago. Jaune was seventeen now. He had no parents and no uncle. Only his Aunt took care of him now. With his uncle dead, no one knew of the powers he possessed. He planned to keep it that way. Hunters and Huntresses were no help to his uncle. They weren't able to save him because of all the red tape and bigots in their industry. Jaune wasn't going to let some silly protocols keep him from saving lives. He didn't need a diploma to help. He was Spiderman.
"kzzt…Command? This is Officer Irvin, we have a level 2 robbery in progress at the dust shop on 7th and Central. Do we send a Hunter? Over and out." Said the radio on Jaune's scroll. Jaune didn't wait for the answer. He pulled his mask on, grabbed his scroll and stepped on to the rail guard of the building he was standing on. He extended his arms, leaned forward, and dropped into a swan dive off the building.
"Woohoooo!" Jaune yelled as shot a web rope on a nearby flag pole, swinging from web to web toward the robbery.

"I said, put your hands in the air! Now!" Said one of the henchmen robbing the store.
"Are you…robbing me?" Said the girl in the red hood.
"Yes!" The henchmen responded, exasperated.
"Oohhhh…" Was the girls only reply.

Jaune heard the sound of glass shattering. He swung around the corner to see a young girl with a scythe surrounded by three men.
"Holy crap." He thought. "That's a big scythe." He winced in pain as he saw her kick one of the men in the face. By the time he looked back, all the men were disposed of, leaving just the girl and the men in white.
"Roman." Jaune grunted.
Roman raised his gun-cane at Ruby.
"I'm afraid this is where we part ways." He said darkly.
"Thwip!" A thin web stuck to Roman's weapon, pulling it out of the line sight of the girl just as he fired. The flare screamed as it flew harmlessly into the sky.
"Now, Roman. Didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit girls?" Said the masked teen.
Roman's face contorted into a scowl, before turned to an obviously fake grin.
"Ahhh, Spiderman. Long time no see. Was it last Tuesday you sank my shipment of weapons into Vale Harbor?" Roamn said cheerfully. "I've been meaning to…thank you for that."
Jaune jumped down from a nearby building and hung upsidedown on a lamp post.
"Aw, Shucks Roamie, you flatter me." Said Spiderman.
Roman grabbed the web stuck to his gun and pulled it over the end of his cane, and fired into the air again, breaking the web and freeing his weapon. As Ruby and Jaune's eyes followed the trail of the flare, Roman ran to escape. Ruby was the first to catch on.
"Wait, he's getting away!" She yelled.
How did he get over there so fast? He was already almost at the top of the ladder. Ruby and Jaune quickly made chase. After Ruby and Jaune scaled the building, they met Roman on the top facing away. They were about to engage when a Bullhead appeared from behind Roman. He jumped on with a smirk on his face.
"End of the line, Wonder Twins!" Roman yelled, throwing a red dust crystal at them. Jaune shot a web at it, swinging it around, right back at Roman and his ship. Roman pulled out his cane and shot it in midair, making the crystal explode harmlessly in the air.
"Woohooho!" Roman yelled. He pulled more crystals out of his pockets and threw them all at Jaune and Ruby.
"Look out!" Jaune yelled as he tackled Ruby to take cover. The crystals exploded, but the blast was diverted from them by some purple barrier. In front of them stood…his Juane's Aunt, Glenda Goodwitch.
"Aunt- I mean, And you are you?" Jaune stuttered.
His Aunt didn't reply as she exchanged blows with the mysterious woman on Roman's ship, which unfortunately got away after a few minutes.
"You're a Huntress!" Ruby squealed. Can I have your autograph?"
Glenda glared at Ruby for a second before pulling out her Scroll to make a call to a certain headmaster.
"Yes. No one was hurt. Only three. The storekeeper, a girl and…"
Glenda gave Jaune a critical eye. "And a cosplayer." Juane sweatdropped. "Yes. I'll see to it." Glenda hung up. "I just finished talking to the headmaster of Beacon. He wants to talk to the two of you." She gave Jaune a disapproving glare.
"Do your parents know you dress like this and run around at night?" Said the strict teacher.
Jaune laughed nervously.
