Story: Brotherhoof12's, The Amazing Jaune Arc ch 1-3

---

In the theater everyone was enjoying their gifts, they were doing so in all their own way. Nora was snuggling up to Ren, Ruby was talking with her duncle Qrow and her new sister Emerald. Neo and Roman were discussing their plans for early retirement since they have deeds to well respecting jobs now, and Velvet was enjoying the carrot cake she got, she was happy to know that it was made by Jaune for her birthday so it made it all the tastier.

Salem was busy getting to know her newly discovered family, the Arc's and Ms. Goodwitch, she would also be talking to the split souls of Cinder but she was busy at the moment.. The Arc's and Glynda felt a little awkward talking to the queen of the grimm but decided to roll with it, thinking maybe some family will help her be more relaxed and less, destroy the worldish.

Meanwhile Blake was avoiding Sun after finding out he has been stalking her. Her family and friends can't do anything to harm him as of yet thanks to the physical law in the theater, though Wolf has been considering turning it off for them. After it was revealed Sun had apologized over and over again, but Blake has yet to forgive him.

While that was happening Cici was playing with Adrian, with permission from Saprhron and Terra of course. Adrian was enjoying playing with Cici who has shown to be just an angel, making many surprised that she is half of Cinder's soul.

"He's so cute!" squealed Cici who was just loving Adrian, and said child was just making happy noises and enjoying playing with the nice lady.

But then Cindy decided to ruin the mood and asked with a huge grin, "So Terra who would you say is the better fuck, your wife or her brother?"

"Wha- I don't… I don't think that's appropriate at all." chastised a blushing Terra. Jaune's family and friends, including the girls that have a crush on him, felt uncomfortable bringing that up again. They were trying to just ignore the fact that that Jaune lost his virginity, and to his sister's wife no less.

Yang especially tried to ignore since she finds it kinda embarrassing that Jaune Vomit-boy Arc, the resident dork knight of Beacon, had lost his V-card while she still had hers. Hell she never even kissed a guy before. That's right Yang Xiao-Long, despite all her bluster, was a complete virgin in every sense of the word.

"Oh I think it's completely appropriate, given you had his kid." countered Cindy. Cici then apologized for Cindy profusely. Terra and Saprhon were happy it was Cici in control, scared of what Cindy would do if she had free rein.

Cici was getting along well with everyone so far, she sees Summer and Goodwitch as aunts and enjoys calling Salem 'granny Salem' at times. She even made friends with a few of the girls from Beacon like Ruby, Pyrrha, Velvet and Nora.

Winter was petting her new dog cupcake while she did some thinking and made a decision. She walked over to Ozpin and asked, "Excuse me headmaster, may I have a moment of your time?"

"Yes Ms. Schnee, is there something I can help you with?" asked Ozpin.

"I have decided to resign from the military and I was… hoping you would consider granting me employment at Beacon. I see it as a good way of spending more time with Weiss, and I would be helpful in teaching the students the skills I've learned in my service." stated Winter. Ozpin without a second thought accepted Winters proposal and welcomed her as a teacher of Beacon.

"That's wonderful to hear sister, I'm excited to see you more often." said Weiss. She was happy to hear this, she never got to see Winter much because she worked in the military.

While that was all going on Glynda was trying to think of ways to get ahold of Ms. Xiao Long's joke book she received. It was made by her brother from an alternate universe and it would show what kind of person he was. She received his journal and it told about his different dreams and goals, but not his personality. Although it may seem wrong, she was going to find some way to snatch that book.

She excused herself from her 'grandmother' and decided to head to the hallway and found a piece of chalk, she then drew a door that said 'salon room' on it. She let Yang know and she was excited because it would give her a chance to try her new hair care products and ran right towards it. Glynda expect her to hit her head on the wall so hard she would get knocked out, yet somehow against all logic she opened the door.

This dumbfounded the deputy headmistress, then when Yang walked out she had smile on her face. Glynda tried to wrap her head around this and walk through the door, but smacked her nose against the wall that it was originally. She couldn't understand what happened, but little did she know it was because of some mischief from Wolf.

Wolf then called everyone back to get ready for the next viewing. As everyone sat in their seats and Wolf addressed them, "Alright everyone this next universe is one I really like."

"What's it about?" asked Ruby.

"Well you will just have to wait and see." said Wolf. The screen started up and it showed the next universe.

The Kingdom of Vale never sleeps. People were still walking on the kingdom streets, drivers were honking their horns at whoever crossed them, and stores were still open at night trying to get more customers before closing shop.

"Ok, that's the last of it." A boy with blond hair said while putting away the last shipment of Dust inside the store.

"Look it's fearless leader, what's he doing in a dust shop he doesn't use any?" asked Nora.

"I'm sure we'll find out, though it looks as though he works there." said Weiss. Many were confused as to why he was working at a dust shop.

"Thank you, Jaune." The owner of the store said while giving the Dust driver his signature.

The driver double checked the paperwork before giving the old man a nod of thanks and driving away.

With the driver gone the owner and his clerk walked back inside the store to get the new shipment of Dust on the shelves for the next day.

"Ahhh, I'm glad we didn't get too much today. I'm not sure if I could lift another crate." Jaune said to his boss.

"Well I suppose that confirms Jaune's working there, but what I wish to know is why?" asked Pyrrha.

Ozpin had a feeling he may know but he is not too fond of the idea.

"Good thing too," The old man checked the time on his watch before looking back to his employee. "Why don't you check the front of the store and man the counter? I'll do some inventory on what we got before closing."

"You got It, Mr. Macarren."

Walking back to the front of the shop Jaune stepped behind the counter and checked how much was made today. Right when he was finished with counting the lien the front door bell rang, signaling a customer has entered. Putting back the money Jaune looked at the new customer wondering why they would be here at this time of night.

What he saw was a small girl dressed in black with red corset frills giving off a gothic look. The most prominent garment on her was the bright red hood obscuring most of her face, making it harder for him to see what she looked like. He thought that she must be here to look around but was soon proven wrong when he spotted what looked to be an ammo belt hanging around her thin waist with a large rectangular object poking out behind her back. The cashier knew not many people wear clothes like that, especially around his age that carries weapons without getting arrested.

"Hey it's me!" shouted Ruby, happy to see herself show up this early.

"Calm down sis, it's not the first time you showed up in one of these." said Yang. Though they now know they are actually cousins, they still see each other as sisters.

She's a Huntress...

Just the word itself made Jaune's smile instantly turn into a frown. As soon as the word passed through his head he banished it from his mind and gave her his best smile to welcome her for entering his boss's shop.

"I thought as much." sighed Ozpin.

"Sir?" questioned Glynda.

"It would seem my counterpart didn't see the same thing in Mr. Arc as I did, and in turn rejected his entrance into Beacon." said Ozpin. Jaune's friends felt sad that this Jaune didn't get to go to Beacon with them, Pyrrha, Velvet, Ruby and even Weiss felt sad to learn this. All of his friends were happy to have met him and have him in Beacon, so this made them feel down.

"I'm afraid to say this isn't the only universe where this happens." said Wolf making the mood go down even more.

"Hello ma'am, do you have anything in particular you want from us? We just got a new shipment of Dust, so I'm sure we can provide you with whatever you need."

The girl in the red cloak looked around the store before shifting her sights back at the blonde's bright sapphire eyes peering into her silver ones. The small eye contact was soon cut short when she looked down at the counter before speaking.

"Um, do you sell the latest gun magazines?" She asked.

"Just a few shelves down and you'll see our weapons catalogue. Hoping you might find something you like?"

The question seemed to make her a little more social as she pulled down her hood and spoke to him in a less nervous manner.

"Just checking to see what new weapons are out." She seemed a bit more excitement now that they were talking about weapons.

"Oh, so does that mean you're a huntress?" Se must've found the question amusing as she giggled before scratching her now red cheeks.

"No, I'm only in training. I'm currently on my way to Beacon." The words seemed to give the girl some confidence in her voice as she started to get more comfortable speaking with the boy behind the counter, though it seemed to have the opposite effect on the young man.

Beacon...

Jaune took a slow breath before speaking to her again. He made sure his voice didn't show what he was starting to feel tense himself.

Ruby felt guilty now, it may have not actually been her and it may not have been intentional, but in the end she was practically rubbing salt I'm Jaune's wound.

"Wow, you must've done something spectacular if you're enrolling to that school." He tried his best to fake his enthusiasm.

Her face became even more enflamed, causing her arms to flail around in embarrassment.

"No, no, I'm just a normal 15-year-old girl. There's nothing really special about me."

"Your 15?!" This time it was Jaune's turn to be surprised. The red colored girl stood frozen, like a deer in head lights.

"Y-yes." She said as her nervousness started coming back.

Now Ruby just felt embarrassed, all she wanted was to be seen as a normal girl. Well as normal you can get when going to a school for warriors.

"See Rubes, I told you you are special." said Yang giving her sister a hug.

"Yang!" complained a blushing Ruby.

"Man, Beacon's going to be an interesting year. I hope you'll enjoy your time there." He tried to give her a small, reassuring, smile. Seeing as the girl's still silent the cashier used this opportunity to introduce himself.

"I'm Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you miss..."

"Ruby. I'm Ruby Rose." She said while also reaching for his hand and giving him a hand shake. With her name now known, Ruby lifted her hood off her head to show her young pale face and short red tinted black hair. Seeing her entire face Jaune noticed how cute she was.

Ruby blushed at that, the idea that Jaune thinks she is cute made her really happy. Then she jabbed Yang in the ribs for snickering.

"Well, Ms. Rose, you must be really excited to be learning in Beacon." Jaune said as he brought his hand back to his side.

"Yeah, I always wanted to become a Huntress. It's been my dream since I was a kid." She seemed to be proud of her acceptance.

Me too…

Jaune's parents felt guilty. Even though they never trained their Jaune he has a chance to achieve his dream, but to know that their counterparts making the same decision destroys his dreams and hurts him so much, they can't help but wish they did things differently.

Ruby was feeling worse now, "Just stop bringing it up. Can't you see your just making it worse?!" Ruby shouted at yer on screen self.

"Ruby, she can't hear you." said Yang who placed a hand on her shoulder. Ruby looked down with a sad expression.

"Well, I know you're going pass whatever they throw at you. You're going to do amazing at Beacon." His compliment caused her blush to return to her cheeks.

Ruby never got complement like these from boys. They usually go to her older sister, but now that she's getting one it made her even more embarrassed then usual. She pulled her hood back over her head again and tried to conceal her flustered face. She wanted to say something, but her words keep getting stuck in her throat as she stood in silence.

"Wow look at that sis, seems he knows how steal your heart in this universe too." said Yang. This got a few jabs from Ruby again but Yang just laughed at it.

"You know I don't think i've heard you call him vomit-boy in a while Yang." pointed out Blake.

"Yeah after the second viewing I was left with some things to think about, and I realized I have been usuming it a bit much and might have had a bit of a grudge behind it. I've decided that I'm going to try to stop or at the very least cut down on it, I might make the occasional slip though." said Yang.

Ugh! Curse my social awkwardness! Please let something happen to stop this awkward silence!

"Jaune, I need you to move some boxes for me." The Dust owner came out from the back while looking at some shipment papers.

Oh, thank goodness!

Many just chuckled at this.

Noticing the customer at the front he set aside his clipboard and gave her his friendly welcome.

"Sorry for interrupting. I'm Mr. Macarren, the owner of this shop. Is everything to your liking?"

"Oh, yes, Jaune just helped me so I was just having a normal conversation. Yup. Normal." Ruby seemed glad that there was someone else here to make it less weird for her when talking to Jaune.

"Real smooth kiddo." said Qrow. Ruby just kept hiding in her hood, not wanting anyone to see her blush from embarrassment.

"Well I'm glad he could help you with what you needed. Jaune, I finished the inventory I just need you to move some boxes for me. You know these old bones can't lift like they used to." The old man said making Jaune and Ruby laugh at his joke.

"Yes sir." Jaune said before vanishing into the back of the shop.

"Is he your only worker?" Ruby asked the owner.

"Yup. Honest boy, gave him this job as soon as I heard what happened to Ben." The man said in a somber tone causing Ruby to wonder who this 'Ben' is before deciding not to push further in to personal matters.

Everyone else was just as confused as to who this 'Ben' it is as well.

"So who is Ben?" asked Blake.

"You'll see, I don't want to spoil anything." replied Wolf.

"So, is there anything else you need, little lady?" Just as fast as the gloomy moment came it left when the old man smiled at Ruby as if nothing happened.

"No, just needed to check some weapon magazines. That's all."

"Ok, if you have any more questions just let me know."

"Thank you." Ruby made a quick turn and went to the magazines, disappearing from the owner's view.

Seeing as she's the only customer Mr. Macarren left the front counter and flipped the sign on the window from 'OPEN' to 'CLOSED' and went back to the counter to get ready for whatever the girl needed to buy.

As he reached the counter he heard the front door bell ring followed by several footsteps. He didn't want to be rude to his customers, but even he needed to be assertive whenever people decide to enter when the stores closed.

"I'm sorry but we're cl-" His words immediately died in his throat when he saw several armed men with guns and axes, wearing red sunglasses and bowler hats. He immediately raised his hands in the air.

"Oh no, this is the dust robbery! But wait, why is the shopkeeper different, and I'm already going to Beacon, and where is Roman? What's going on?!" asked Ruby.

"Yeah I'm with Red on this one, the hell is happening right now? asked Roman.

"This is a different robbery, it happens after it." said Wolf.

"The lien's all there," The old man pushed a button on the register causing the cash drawer to open, revealing the money. "Take it. I don't want any trouble." He said in an evenly tone hoping to hide his fear.

"We're not here for the money." The man in the center of the group said. "We just want the Dust." Turning to face his crew, he flicked his head at them to get to work before looking at the old man and making sure he won't do anything stupid.

"Well it's basically the same, bunch of goons robbing a dust shop for the dust, Little Red being there to stop it. Only difference, Blondie being there, I'm not and there is a different shopkeep. Pretty strange." said Roman.

"Anyone else here?"

"N-no, just me." He said, hoping the girl saw them before they did and left from the back of the store. He hoped Jaune did the same, but hoped Jaune was trying to contact the police before the thieves left with the Dust.

"Oh boy they are not gonna be happy if they find out he is lying." stated Roman.

"What do you mean?" asked Ruby.

"Well Red, when armed thugs find out someone lied about how many people are there, well it doesn't end well for the person being robbed." answered Roman.

The man's reflected shades stared at the old man for a few seconds before turning back to his fellow thugs.

"Done yet?" He asked them.

"Almost we just need to check the-"

CRASH

The sound of something breaking caused the armed robbers to draw their weapons as the old man to visibly shook.

"You said you're the only one here." The leader of the group said while pointing his gun at the Dust owner.

Many now felt nervous and hoped the shopkeeper gets out ok. Meanwhile Roman has a smug look that screams 'I told you so'.

"I-I'm telling the truth, I swear." The old man said while wiping away his sweat forming around his head.

"One of you, check in the back."

With a quick nod one of the thugs went to the back of the Dust shop to make sure no one else was working, causing the Mr. Macarren to start breathing irregularly.

"Wait!" He shouted trying to stop the man from entering the back, but was soon stopped when the leader pushed him back to the counter.

"I'd think twice if I were you." To make his threat even more real, he cocked back the hammer of his pistol and pointed it at the owner to show he wasn't afraid to take a life this night.

"Please, just take the lien and the Dust," He begged. "I lied about me being the only one here ok. I have a kid that works here, and he has an aunt that needs the money, so please don't hurt h-" The old man was struck by the gangster's pistol. The elderly man brought a hand up to his now bleeding nose as it started to overflow off his hands and onto the tile floor.

The Beacon students and Cici recoiled when seeing him get hit, meanwhile everyone else just flinch. The Arc's were curious though, what did he mean aunt? They don't have any family living in Vale.

"Shut. Up. I'm starting to reconsider if I should let you live." Using his pistol, he lifted the old man's chin so that he stared into his crimson reflected lenses. "As a matter of fact," The cold barrel kissed the old man's forehead. "Why should I even care?"

Several gasps were heard throughout the theater and some looked away, not wanting to see the man shot.

"HEY!" A voice yelled out from the back of the store. The leader turned his pistol to whoever shouted, but before he could fire his eyes were clouded by rose petals, followed by gunshots and screams.

"Yes, Ruby Rose to the rescue!" shouted Ruby who was happy she made it in time.

If Ruby Rose had to sum up her entire month with one word, I'd would be 'Unlucky'. She tried to find her sister, only to find her causing a massive bar fight. Then the week after that, she stopped a Dust robbery, but the criminals escaped, and she was the one in the police station being asked questions rather than the thugs who were captured. That was a week ago and now here she is again stopping another Dust robbery from happening. She was glad she had the element of surprise this time. It gave her enough time to use her Scroll to alert the authority's.

She hoped she could take them down when they were about to leave and not risk them taking a hostage, but that was ruined when a loud crash was heard coming from the back of the shop.

Jaune!

"Oh no…" murmured a worried Pyrrha. She as well as others were afraid that Jaune might get hurt.

The rest of the group pulled out their weapons with one of them leaving the group to find out who caused the noise. The soon to be Beacon student was now even more anxious on what their next move is. If they find Jaune it'd make it even harder for her to stop them from escaping if they decided to use them as a human shield. As soon as the old man moved to stop the crook he was stuck by the leader's pistol. Seeing the man struck caused Ruby to replace her anxiety with anger.

The same could be said for Ruby off screen, as well as her sisters Yang, Weiss, Winter and friends. Yang's eyes turned blood red and wanted nothing more then to beat the crap out of that guy.

As soon as she saw that she decided to move out of her hiding spot and use her Semblance to stop the crook from pulling the trigger. She knew she should've waited for a professional Huntsmen to arrive, but she couldn't just stand around and do nothing when people are suffering.

"That sounds like something you would do." said Weiss with a smile. Ruby just chuckled and nodded at that.

"HEY!" She screamed is hopes of diverting his attention away from the old man.

The thug turned in her direction as she activated her Semblance and used her body to push him away from the shop owner as a cascade of rosses obscured everyone's vision.

"Are you ok?" She turned to the owner with a concern seeing so much blood.

"I'm fine." He said nasally. "But Jaune's in the back."

"I'll get him." She was about to stand up but was stopped when the old man grabbed her arm.

"I'll go get him, you handle the crook." He told her. "Don't argue with me, you have to stop these guys."

That sounds like the better idea, it lets him get Jaune and escape while you take care of those thugs." said Ghira.

"Yes Ms. Rose, that sounds that the smart idea." agreed Ozpin.

"I guess it does make more sense…" mumbled Ruby.

Before she could tell him to stop he got on his feet and dashed to the back of the store to get his employee out of the fray, leaving her to handle the rest of these goons.

"Are you ok?!" One of them asked.

"Shut up and get the Dust! We're leaving! We can't handle a Huntress!" The thug Leader ordered his men to move as the red girl prepared to stop them from stealing any more Dust.

Using her Semblance again, she dashed to the group of criminals holding cases of Dust, transformed her weapon to her scythe, and with the shaft of her weapon swiped the cases way from them. She fired behind her to use the momentum to push them out of the Dust shop and into the open streets. She thought that with open space she would have more room to move with her scythe, but what she didn't know was that there were more thugs waiting outside.

"It would seem your at a slight disadvantage here." stated Winter. Knowing that she could fight them, but if she wasn't careful she could be overwhelmed.

"Get her!" One of the crooks yelled as the rest charged her with reckless abandon.

Ruby counted half a dozen in total, each holding axes, pipes, and pistols. She knew that she can hold them off, but she also needed to make sure they don't go back inside the shop to take the Dust. So, with a quick flick of her wrist, she readied Crescent Rose.

The crooks used their numbers to overwhelm her, but they were soon pushed back when she shifted her weapon into its original form and started to unload round after round at them. Each round aimed at their weapons to disarm them before she quickly appeared close to their guard with her changed weapon and sent them flying away from the store.

"Hell yeah, that's my baby sis!" shouted Yang. Blake was busy trying to calm her partner down.

"Break their legs!" shouted Nora. Now Ren was trying to calm his partner/girlfriend down.

The crooks weren't organized and tried to attack with clumsy strikes and use of numbers, but with her Huntress training in use it soon became a battle of nutrition with the thugs already losing their stamina. It seemed as the battle was soon to be over when the sound of a Dust round was fired, bringing the fight to a halt.

"I'd drop my weapon if I were you!" Said the thief while holding a pistol to the old man's head.

"Oh no!" shouted Ruby.

Dang it! I forgot the one at the back of the store!

"I said drop it!" To show he means business be kicked the back of the old man's legs, causing him to get on his knees with the pistol now aimed at the back of his head.

"Lowlife scum, he's nothing but a coward using a hostage to win." sneered Weiss.

"Sorry to tell you Ice-queen, but sometimes your opponents won't play by the rules they teach you in school. Sometimes your enemy will play dirty and your sparring practises will be useless." said Roman. Many of the professional huntsman and those who know combat nodded, having learned that lesson well.

"Ruby we taught you to be more careful than that." chastised Tai.

"Yeah kiddo, you gotta make sure you have an eye on everything or you end up screwing up big time." added Qrow. Ruby sunk in her seat with a deflated expression.

She could try and shoot the weapon out of his hands, but she didn't want to risk the chance of the thug still being able to pull the trigger. With a frustrated growl she formed her scythe back to its holster state and place it on the ground next to her.

"Kick it over here." He ordered her.

Sorry Crescent Rose.

Ruby was in tears having to do that to her baby.

Doing what he said, Ruby kicked Crescent Rose near the old man and placed her hands above her head to show her that she was harmless. As soon as the weapon was away from her the rest of the criminals went back to the shop to get the Dust with only a few staying behind to watch over the hostages.

"You hurt?" The thug with the gun asked his leader.

"Just my pride," He said while wiping off the dirt from his bowler hat. "Did you find out if anyone else is there?"

"Just the old man." To add insult to injury he pushed the old man on the ground. The owner of the store to groan in pain at the rough treatment.

Many release a breath they didn't know they were holding. They were glad to know that Jaune got out and hoped he would bring the police with him.

"Just you wait. Jaune's coming back with the police. You might as well give up." The old man said to them while trying get back up. Before he could a shoe slammed down on his back. Ruby was about to activate her Semblance again, but stopped when the gun went back to the old man's head.

"Just stay where you are, Red." The leader said while picking up an axe from the ground. "I'm sure you'll know what will happen if you decide to play hero."

Walking to the Huntress-in-training the thug raised the axe above her head. She decided to close her eyes and await the incoming strike.

I'm sorry Yang, dad, uncle Qrow.

Summer held Ruby close, afraid that her Ruby might disappear if she didn't. Ruby's friends and family were afraid to watch This.

"This is what you deserve for trying to play hero!"

TWIP!

Everyone was surprised by that sound, they had no idea what it was or where it came from.

Before the axe could to touch her a thick tread of webbing shot out of nowhere and stuck itself on the axe. With a strong yank the strand flew back along with the weapon as the man holding it stared at his now empty hand.

"Wait… webbing? Where did that even come from?" asked Pyrrha.

"I don't know and right now I don't care, Ruby's alive because of it and that's all that i care about." said Yang.

"WHO'S THER-MMFFF!" Just as he was about to shout a second string attached itself on his mouth causing him to pull at the web. As he was pulling the web with all his might another shot of webbing latched itself to his hands, making it impossible to break free.

This got a few laughs from many in the audience, but they still had no idea who or what was doing this, until...

"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to hit a girl. Especially if it involves sharp objects." A disembodied voice spoke, causing the other crook holding the gun to panic.

This came as a surprise to everyone, and they felt that the voice was familiar.

"Who's there!? I swear if you don't show yourself I'll make sure this old geezer's brain touches the pavement!" The robber screamed out.

"Ok, if you insist."

The crook was expecting the police or a Huntsman to appear before him, but was surprised to see some weirdo jump off a light post wearing nothing but a bright red jumpsuit with large white compound eyes and a blue sleeveless hoodie with a slanted spider symbol on his chest.

"What the neck is he wearing?!" screeched Coco. Never in her life had she seen such ridiculous attire before, or someone who was shameless enough to wear it.

"What's with the get up?" He asked before pointing his gun at the masked stranger walking towards him.

"Really? The suit with the spider logo not ringing any bells?" The masked man kept walking to the armed criminal before stopping a few steps away, making it easier for the gangster to fire his gun at the masked freak if he decided to stop him.

"I said, who are you!?" His patients was running low. The masked figure puffed up his chest and placed his hands on his waist.

"I'm Spider-Man." He said in a deep and menacing tone trying to scare the criminal even further, but instead it made him look more confused.

" Oh my gosh, it's a superhero!" screeched Ruby.

"Yeah that totally sounds like a superhero name right there." agreed Sun.

"A superhero, seriously? Isn't that kinda unrealistic?" asked Weiss.

"You live in a world with nightmarish monsters, weapons that turn into guns, powers and force fields made by your soul, you recently learned magic is a thing, I'm a god and your watching another universe. Is a superhero really where you draw the line of believability?" asked Wolf.

"Point taken." sighed Weiss.

"Who?"

Everyone chuckled by how that ruined the moment.

Spider-Man let out a loud sigh before dropping his arm from and placed a hand on his face.

"You know... the friendly neighborhood wall crawler." The criminal still looked confused as to who he is. "I've been on the news a few times! Well, on Scroll videos, but I'm well known 'round her- you know what? Why am I explaining this to you?"

"Friendly neighborhood?" asked Mercury.

"Yeah that sounds kinda dumb." said Emerald.

"I don't know, I kinda like it." said Cici.

"Tell me your joking." said Cindy who didn't agree with her counterpart

"I think it sound awesome." stated Ruby.

"Well in any case I agree, why is he explaining this to him?" asked Goodwitch.

"Maybe because he thought people knew who he was and was a little upset they didn't." explained Qrow. Everyone just accepted this explaination.

He went back to walking up to the crook. The thug's trigger finger got tighter around the handle and fired several rounds of Dust into strange man's chest.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each round was aimed at his chest, and each round missed its mark as Spider-Man dodged each shot with ease. Each time faking his fear while the gangster screamed in frustration.

"He is quite fast, maybe even faster than you friend Ruby." said Penny. Ruby wanted to argue but she couldn't dodge those bullets when they are that close, so she begrudgingly agreed.

"This guy is hilarious! I gotta try the whole fake fear thing just to fuck with people." said Yang.

Holy smokes he's fast!

Ruby stared in amazement at how quickly he dodged those bullets at such close range. Even with her speed she still needed time to get ready, and yet he dodged each one with little to no effort. After the last round was fired the man called Spider-Man pointed his hands at the criminal as though he was about to punch him.

"What's he doing?" asked Ilia.

"I don't know, if he is trying to attack the thug then he should get closer." stated Sienna.

It caught both the robber and Ruby off guard to see that the same webbing that stopped the first robber come out of his wrists and cover the gun with the sticky fluid. The masked man tugged his webs back with the gun now in his gloved hands, leaving the robber completely defenseless.

"Wait that stuff comes out of him?!" shouted Weiss who was a little grossed out.

"Is he a spider faunus or something, and if so how does he move like that?" asked Blake. She had seen spider faunus who were able to shoot webbing but never dodge bullets that were about to hit him. Was it a semblance or something?

"That'll be no more of this, thank you very much." Spider-Man snapped the gun in half and tossed the pieces away.

"Wait I recognize that voice… It's Jaune!" shouted Saphron.

"Wait what?" asked Weiss.

"No she's right I hear it to." said Velvet.

"Well what's Arc doing dressed like… that?" asked Coco who still didn't like the costume.

"Please, don't hurt me." The robber begged.

"Relax," The wall crawler said before shooting a web at the criminal's hands and legs. "The police will take care of you guys. I'm just making sure you're all tied up in a nice webbed bow."

Yang was just laughing her ass off while everyone but Tai just groaned.

"Shit! John! Mark! Where are you guys? There's a freak in a jumpsuit trying to stop us!" The criminal screamed to his friends to try and get the rest of his crew to bust him from his restraints, but was only answered by barely recognizable groans inside the store.

"I don't think they'll be much help." deadpanned Mercury.

"Ohhhhhh, so that's their names." Spider-Man struck his fist into his open palm. "In my head I keep calling you guys 'thugs', 'crooks', and 'criminals'. it was getting really confusing for me since you guys all dress the same."

"Huh they kinda do. Isn't that weird?" asked Yang.

"Yeah and now that I think about it, why are there so many people that look like they are covered in their shadow?" asked Blake.

"Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who noticed!" shouted Ruby.

"Yes it is quite strange." said Weiss. Many other people have noticed this and felt the same way.

As soon as he said that the cops started to arrive. The arrival of reinforcements sent a calm wave to spread over Ruby's body and a sigh of relief to leave her.

"MMMMPFFFFF!"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you." Spider-Man seemed surprised that he forgot another robber was here.

"How do you forget about a robber?" asked Salem, a little surprised her 'grandchild' would forget such a detail.

Seeing that the spider was walking towards him the robber with the web covering half of his face decided to make a break for it. He only took three steps before Spider-Man's web grabbed both his legs, causing him to fall face first on the street.

This got a chuckle from a few people in the audience.

"Wow, that must've really hurt." Spider-Man wrapped his webs around the downed criminal. "Oh, and if you're wondering where the rest of your posse is, they're in the back wrapped up and ready for the cops."

To show that he was right the sound of sirens were heard in the distance. The police cars were getting closer to the crime scene with the thugs waiting for them to be sent to jail.

"Well suck to be them." said Emerald. She always made it a point not to be seen when stealing something, so she would never have to worry about being caught.

"Kinda glad I'm not there after all." chuckled Roman.

"Especially since I'm not there to save your butt Roman~." said a smirking Neo.

"Hehe whatever you say shorty." chuckled Roman.

"That's my signal to leave. Have fun at prison, fellas." Spider-Man extended his hand out to one of the tall buildings and was about to shoot off a web before he heard someone wheezing in pain.

"Hey it's the old guy. Why did he run after him?" asked Neo.

"Wait, please wait." The old man said while coughing into his fist. "Have you seen a young boy with blond hair?"

"He made it to the police and is waiting at the station. You don't have to worry about him." Spider-Man reassured the Dust store owner. As if a huge weight was lifted off him the man grabbed the wall crawler's hand and shook it repeatedly as a sign of gratitude.

"Why is he lying, and why does he not show who he is?" asked Weiss. She never understood that part about superheroes.

"Because Ice-queen, superheroes have enemies and if their identities were made public then their enemies would go after the people they care about to get to them." explained Yang. The pro hunters knew that this line of work came with enemies so they understood that. Weiss decided that was as good an answer as any.

"Thank you, thank you very much for saving me." He said with tears of joy leaking from his eyes.

"Any day sir, any day." Spider-Man shot a web to a nearby building and web swinged away from the now the thankful civilian and the still stunned Ruby Rose.

"Now that looks like a cool way to travel." said Sun.

"Yeah just swinging around a city, that is traveling in style." agreed Neptune.

Ruby's shock soon passed. She quickly ran to her weapon and headed inside the store to make sure none of the crooks escaped, but like Spider-Man said the thugs that were trying to steal the Dust were hanging upside down, wrapped in webbing with a small note written: 'Lost gangsters, need a home. Preferably the police station. Thank you, Spider-Man.'

Ruby was now blushing thinking about her in Jaune's arms as they swing through the city and smiled a little.

A superhero.

That word echoed in her head, trying to come to terms with what she saw this night. She was supposed to handle a situation like this. She did encounter a situation like this not too long ago, and yet as soon as they took a hostage it spiraled out of control. Her dad and uncle would scold her for what happened, they taught her better than this, she knew better than this. And yet, as soon as she was disarmed she was at their complete mercy.

"That's right Ruby, I hope you learned from this, even if your opponent isn't as skilled or as strong as you, you don't let your guard down or underestimate them." said Tai.

"I get it I messed up!" groaned Ruby.

A superhero saved me.

It was as if the comics she read as a kid came out of the panels and sprang into action to stop evildoers. She'd never seen or heard of anyone actually dressing up in a costume to do this in real life. Yet what happened just a few minutes ago made all her talks with her family about superheroes completely vanish when a spider themed hero came out of nowhere and saved them in their time of need.

"Oh boy here we go…" said Yang knowing that this will lead to Ruby having some hero worship.

Ruby was excited about this, the thought of a superhero was cool enough but at the fact that it's Jaune? It's like a dream come true for her. Now she can't stop thinking about how romantic it would be if Jaune rescued her and she repaid him with a kiss.

The other girls with a crush on Jaune weren't to far behind her in that thought.

I can catch up to him, see if he's the real deal.

With her speed Semblance she could do that, but the image of the old man with tears of joy and relief in his eyes made her stop her train of thought.

Thank you, thank you very much for saving me.

The thought of her chasing after him was immediately discarded as the elderly citizen's well-being came first.

She wanted to be a Huntress to help people from terrible misfortune and defeat the Grimm, just like her dad, like her uncle, her older sister...

Just like my mother.

"And I couldn't be more proud of you my little rose." said Summer who was holding Ruby close. Ruby felt happy to hear that, it was her dream to be just like her mom and help people.

Her question can wait. If she knew heroes like they usually are in the comics, then she'll meet Spider-Man whenever trouble arrives to harm the innocent. And maybe, just maybe, she can do her own personal investigation involving this hero and his exploits when she's studying at Beacon.

"And here comes the hero worship, just as I thought." groaned Yang.

"Hey, what's wrong with that?" asked Ruby.

"It is little childish Ruby." said Blake, getting a nod in agreement from Weiss.

"Betrayal, I will not forget this betrayal!" shouted Ruby.

"I think it's awesome seeing fearless leader being a crime fighting superhero." said Nora.

"It was quite impressive." agreed Ren.

Can't believe they think I was a Huntsmen. Even I know a Huntsmen won't be caught dead wearing a get up like this.

"See even he agrees." said Coco.

"Oh my god Coco, just stop!" shouted Velvet, who then realized what she did and said, "S-sorry." It certainly surprised Coco for Velvet to just snap like that.

"Sorry Bunbun, I just think the outfit could go without the hoodie, maybe make the costume a lighter shade of red and add some blue to it. I'm just saying it could use some work. said Coco. After Velvet gave her a look, she decided she'll stop… for now.

Web slinging for the past five minutes the wall crawler made sure to stay above ground, so the police won't spot him while they handle the rest of the goons tied in Mr. Macarren's shop. It was supposed to be a simple night with inventory and stacking shelves, but then they had to show up and ruin everything.

Oh well, more web pics for the Spidey. I'm sure these pictures will get me the extra lien I need for next month's bills.

Finally landing on the roof of a three-story building, Spider-Man grabbed a camera that was webbed on the side of a wall pointed directly where the action took place just a few moment ago. Checking to make sure the photos are in clear resolution, he jumped off the roof and slowly descended to the floor without causing too much noise for anyone to notice him.

"What? Why is he doing that?!" asked a confused Weiss.

"Like he said, gotta put food on the table somehow. Even huntsmen get paid for what they do so it's not entirely different, besides remember what the shop owner said about him needing the lien for his aunt." said Qrow.

"He's right Ms. Schnee, I'm afraid not everyone can own a company like you. Some people need to get money where they can to provide for their family." said Ozpin. This made a lot of people think and made Weiss feel bad about questioning him.

Some might think that I'm a glory dog for the attention, but they should understand how hard it is trying to put food on the table.

"See Weiss it's just as they said." said Willow. Weiss nodded in understanding.

Sensing that no danger was nearby, the hero finally removed his mask, ruffling his blonde hair to get back to its original messy style. His blue eyes scanned the dark alley way to locate his clothes. Ever since he ran away from home to move to Vale the young teen hoped that being accepted to Beacon would finally be his chance to achieve his dream.

To become a hero.

What he didn't account for (or simply ignored) was when Beacon rejected his letter, causing him to spiral into depression and wander the streets of Vale wondering what happens next. Thankfully an elderly couple took pity on him and decided to take him under their roof in hopes to get him back on is feet.

The Arc's felt sad to know that this Jaune spiraled into depression but were happy to hear that someone took him in when he needed it.

Ozpin felt ashamed of his counterpart, to squash the dreams of a promising young man and, if he wasn't lucky, sentenced the pour boy to have nowhere to go.

Their names are Ben and May Parker, and Jaune was forever indebted to their act of kindness to let someone like him to enter their lives.

"So now we know who this Ben is, but what happened to him?" asked Glynda.

"I believe we may find out Ms. Goodwitch." said Ozpin taking a sip from his mug.

Ok, I know that I left them... bingo!

Reaching behind an over encumbered dumpster, Jaune grabbed his normal attire wrapped in his webbings and ripped it open. He pulled out the normal attire and covered his spider costume with them.

"Well at least then he'd be able to suit up quickly." said Mercury.

"And it's hard to steal clothes that are webbed up to a wall." agreed Roman.

Thank you, night vision. I'm sure a normal human wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line like I could.

"So wait, is he a faunus? Because he has some abilities I've never seen any spider faunus have before." said Ilia.

"I don't know but I'm quite eager to find out." said Watts.

Ironwood didn't say it but he was curious to know as well. The thought of having soldier like that was appealing.

Ever since the rejection from Beacon Jaune was trying to look for a stable job to help Mr. and Mrs. Parker with the bills, so when on a job hunt he found a position for a janitor at a science lab that studies animal biology. Turns out one of the animals, a spider they were experimenting on, had escaped and just like his luck it decided to bite him before dying in his hands.

"Wait, that's how he's like this? He just bitten by a spider that was experimented on and got super powers somehow?!" shouted Weiss.

"Sounds just like something out of a comic book." said Ruby.

Blake silently agreed. What nobody knows is that she and Jaune have hung out before, just in the library and they mostly just sat quietly next to each other and read. But one day Jaune had her give comic books a shot when she said they're not real literature, and after she did she said they weren't as bad as she thought but still not as good as regular books. Jaune took that as a win and that was about it.

Alright, I should get back to the station and wait for Mr. Macarren. I don't want him to wonder where I've been If he doesn't see me there.

It started out slow. He could stick to any surface, produce organic webbing, night vision, strength, speed, and incredible agility. Every day it seemed that he learns new things about himself and it was all thanks to that spider that bit him. This was his chance, a chance for him to become what he wanted since he was a kid. The only problem is that Vale doesn't take kindly to vigilantes, so every time he dawns his spider persona and does some good in the kingdom they call for the police to try to put him behind bars.

"That's not fair, he is just trying to help people!" raged Ruby.

"Young lady while I agree with you, sometimes that's how the world is I'm afraid. But don't let that discourage you, sometimes the things worth doing are the hardest." said Ghira.

I'm starting to wonder why there's so many thefts all over Vale. I should probably take tomorrow off, try to figure out why there becoming so pro-active all of a sudden. I don't want anyone to endure the same harassment Mr. Macarren had to go through.

With his mind set to figure out what's happening In Vale, Jaune ran out the alleyway and sprinted back the police station before his boss arrives. Being himself was the easy part, being Spider-Man and saving people while keeping his identity a secret was another thing entirely.

"Living one life is hard enough but living two is harder, I should know I have lived several." said Ozpin.

Even if 'Jaune Arc', the average everyday guy, couldn't become a Huntsman and help people, 'Spider man', the superhero, could. After all a great man once told him; with great power comes great responsibility.

" Those are some wise words." said Tai.

"Yes very inspiring." said Port.

And Jaune would always live by Mr. Parker's advice. He already failed him once and he would be damned if he would fail anyone else if he has the power to help them.

"W-what did he mean by that?" asked Velvet.

Wolf didn't answer and decided to change the subject, "Alright we will be skipping ahead to your first day as official students of Beacon, let's get started." before anyone could say anything the screen went forward

"Are they still showing that spider guy on the news again?" Ruby's partner said, as if she was surprised there still showing him on the news.

Now that Ruby was a student of Beacon, has her own team, a partner to always have her back, and full-fledged Huntsman and Huntresses to teach them, she should be happy with what she has.

Instead, she was using her time watching the latest news regarding the increase of crime, Roman Torchwick, and questions regarding why so much dust being stolen was important news, she knows that, but they're all minor things to her when compared to what she was really looking forward to when she watches the news.

Spider-man.

"Well yeah, why wouldn't I? It would be so cool if Jaune was a superhero." said an excited Ruby.

"I get that its cool sis but calm down." said Yang.

"I swear you will never change." added Weiss.

"You got to admit, he's pulling off the outfit pretty good. Really good now that I think about it." Yang said when she saw a picture of Spider-man mid-web swing to another building. "I guess some people really can pull off wearing tights, but only by a thin thread!"

"Got a point me." said Yang admiring Jaune in the outfit. Meanwhile Coco was grumbling but couldn't help but think it complemented his build.

"Yang, even if you're part of the team, I will not hesitate to pin you to the wall." Weiss told her while placing her hand on her weapon.

"My thoughts exactly Xiao Long." spat Weiss. Yang just shrugged.

"Meh. I'm sure you'll be used to it, just like Blake. Right, partner?" Yang turned her head to see Blake on her bed. The book she was reading forgotten and replaced with her scroll showing the same news her little sister was watching.

"Yeah." Blake said while still keeping her eyes on the screen.

"See! She agrees that my jokes are funny just like my sister. Isn't that right, Ruby?"

"No."

"So close. Well, if you can still pay attention to me then that means you know we need to go to class soon." Yang said to her little sister followed by silence from Ruby.

"I'm unappreciated in my time, at least Jaune likes my jokes." said Yang in a fake hurt voice.

"This is ridiculous! How are you supposed to be our team leader if you keep gawking over some fool wearing a mask and thinking he's a hero." Weiss shouted making Ruby snap out of her fixation and speak her mind.

"Seriously Weiss what's the deal?" asked Nora

"I suppose my other thinks what he's doing is reckless and irresponsible, I know I would have at the start of the year." replied Weiss.

"What if he is a hero?" Blake snapped at the heiress, causing everyone look at her in surprise.

"Really Blake? I didn't expect you to side with the young man like that." pointed out Kali.

"Well he helps people in need,it's very admirable." replied Blake

Blake herself can only blush from embarrassment at how her outburst made her sound like she's also fan girl defending Ruby's idol. Ruby was a diehard hero worshiper, which was one of the reasons why she wanted to be a Huntress, but once Ruby told them that she saw an actual hero her fascination was set ablaze.

Ruby's side of the room had paper clippings of the web slinger stopping small time thugs, saving pedestrians from burning buildings, even just getting cats out of tall trees.

"Jeez sis, I get you like heroes but seriously? That's a bit much." said Yang. Ruby was blushing and putting her index fingers together.

"Jeez that goes beyond the normal level of hero worship." sais Emerald looking at her half sister.

"I think it's nice he is helping by not just fighting crime, but helping with small things too." said Velvet who was happy to see Jaune do so much good.

"Well I suppose that's what makes him a friendly neighborhood superhero." said Pyrrha. This made everyone decide that must have been what that meant.

Blake wasn't into the whole hero business like Ruby was, she was only interested if Spider-man was like her. Someone who saw the injustice in the world and decided to take it upon themselves to stop it. Blake became a Huntress to do just that, but it seems he decided to do it in a different way, making her worry about what he's doing is the right thing.

What he's doing is very heroic, but I wonder what the White Fang would do if they decided to find him.

"Well we would probably need to know how it affects things first." said Sienna. She was not yet entirely sure how she would react.

"No doubt it wouldn't be good." spat Ironwood. This earned a glare from the tiger faunus.

She can only assume it was a Faunus doing such good deeds. It's just hard to find out since he shows no notable characteristics.

He can stick to walls and shoot out webs, those can be explained by either a semblance or tool that allows him to do such things. If he shows his face maybe I could remember him when I was still part of the movement.

Maybe that's why he wears the costume, to make people guess if he's human or not. That's the only reason she can come up with, since she's also wearing something to hide her true self.

"Or like was said earlier, to keep his loved ones safe." pointed out Wolf.

"Whatever he's doing is stopping people from losing their businesses..."

"See!" Ruby said to her partner.

"But I don't like it that he's wearing a mask." Blake said causing Ruby to deflate and for Weiss to stand a little bit taller for someone finally agreeing with her.

"There you have it, just because he's stopping crimes doesn't mean he should hide who he is. He's a bad influence on young minds, thinking that they should use their semblance and take the law in their own hands." Looking at the pictures above Ruby's bed the young Schnee can only shake her head at how he's dressed. "It just makes it worse since he's wearing a costume with most of the people spewing nonsense that of him being a superhero."

"Well lets see. Super powers, check. Crime fighting, check. Costume, check. Yeah I'd say he is a superhero." said Sun.

"Yeah Weiss, superheroes can be real even without powers. It just takes someone who wants to make a difference." added Ruby.

"Very wise words Ms. Rose." complemented Ozpin.

"He is a hero! Right, Yang?" Ruby asked Yang while giving her best puppy dog eyes.

"I don't know," She said while scratching the back of her head. "I mean I get that he shouldn't hide who he is, since anyone of us could do the same thing, but I'm still going to say that so long as the guy is doing good then he should keep on doing it."

"YAY!"

"Are you serious, Yang?" Weiss asked her with surprise to how easily she caved to her little sister's puppy dog eyes.

"Should you really complain, he's practically saving you lien with him stopping all those dust robberies."

"That is a good point Weiss." added Blake. This made Weiss huff but she couldn't help but agree.

"That's beside the point! If he keeps doing this then more people will follow his example and make their own belief of justice. Am I right, Blake?" Weiss turned her head to expect at least the one person with her head on straight to agree with her.

"Y-yeah, you're right." Blake said as if she was trying to swallow something she disliked.

The argument soon turned into a debate about what Spider-man is doing is right or wrong before their scrolls signaled them that class is about to start.

"Oh my gosh! We'll be late for our first day of school!" Ruby shouted causing the rest of her team scrambled out of their room to get to class on time.

Suddenly team RWBY remembered how they were late for their first day, and they felt that some things must be very common in the multiverse.

Only for them to be stopped when a large group of reporters blocking their only exit.

"Hey! What's the big idea?!" Yang said only for her question to be ignored by them.

"You dolt! Don't you remember who lives across from us?" Weiss asked Yang as if she had short term memory loss.

"Wait, all of these guys are here for Pyrrha?" Ruby asked while hopping up and down to see where her other friend is.

Pyrrha signed. She felt thankful that this didn't happen in her world. She then wondered who her partner was if Jaune didn't go to Beacon.

Ugh! Curse my height! How much milk will I need before I grow dang it!?

"Yeah seriously, I've been drinking lots and lots of milk yet I'm still short, what the heck!" shouted Ruby.

"Ruby milk isn't going to make you grow just like that." said Weiss. This made Ruby huff in annoyance.

"Yes! She's the strongest Huntresses of our generation so far and a well-known celebrity! She's even the leader of her own team."

"You mean the team that only has three people and not four like the rest of us." Blake spoke before taking a few steps back when of the reports were pushed back due to how many are trying to leave through the small exit.

Pyrrha now fell even further in depression at that thought. She knew that would just put her on a pedestal even more, making people think she was to good to need a partner.

Ozpin and the other staff felt sorry for the girl and glad that things ended the way they did in their world.

"Her lawyers made a huge argument that caused a lot of controversies between the two kingdoms, so Vale decided to make a compromise for her to stay even though she has no partner." The reporters finally left the exit allowing team RWBY to get back to running to class. "Reporters are here for Beacon to cash in on the publicity."

"That must really suck for her, always having to watch her back, seeing cameras everywhere you go." Ruby's sad gaze caught a glimpse of her friend walking along with team, Ren and Nora, each at her side trying to shield her from all the flashing cameras and annoying reporters.

When seeing how Pyrrha's face kept falling, a'll of her friends gave her a hug and a reassuring smile. This made Pyrrha feel better, and she was happy to know she made such wonderful friends at Beacon.

"We can feel sorry for her while we're at class, we only have 10 minutes!" Yang scream caused the rest of the girls to run around the large herd of news reporters.

Their start of the day may have been unexpected, but with what they've been though in initiation made them more than ready for what this year has in store for them.

"Boy were we wrong." said Yang.

"Yes I agree, we've been through so much that would make initiation look tame." huffed Weiss.

"Well as long as team RWBY works together, we can do anything!" cheered Ruby.

"Well the next time you do something crazy and excited can we join in? Seriously we live across the hall from you, we want to have some adventures to." said Nora.

"That's right you can always count on us if you need help." said Pyrrha.

"Jaune may not be here but I'm sure he would agree." said Ren. Team RWBY nodded in understanding.

Even with so many problems already starting, Ruby can only feel as if today was going to be the best day ever.

What Jaune considered his best day for him was when he had a day off. Which was technically days off at work, but when consider that he has school on the weekdays it soon became even more apparent to him when his 5:00am alarm clock wakes him up.

As the alarm clock went off, so many in the audience groaned in annoyance.

"Ugh I hate that sound?" complained Neptune.

"Yes though it is not as annoying as a military wake up." said Winter.

"Augh."

Stretching one arm out of his bed, he reached for his alarm clock on his night stand to turn it off only to feel nothing. Cracking one crusted eye open he saw that the clock that was still ringing with its obnoxious tone on top of his study desk facing him. As if taunting Jaune to get off of his warm bed, turn it off, and get ready for school. The young spider instead used a single string of webbing aimed at the alarm clock, pulled, and caused the clock to become airborne for about a second before it dropped on the floor, still playing the same annoying tune.

"Jeez, I really wouldn't want to be him right now." said Yang.

"Yeah seriously, and who puts their alarm clock on the other side of the room?" asked Cardin.

"Maybe the awake Jaune put it there so the sleeping Jaune could get up instead of just hitting snooze" Coco thought out loud. Everyone thought that was a good enough explaination.

"UGHHHH!"

Still using one arm to pull the alarm clock closer the offending object now next to his bed. He was about to be shut off with the slam his fist before stopping a centimeter above the snooze button.

Remember what happened the last time, Jaune. Just use a fraction, of a fraction, of a fraction of your strength. Don't want to make the same mistake a fifth time around.

With just his index finger, he pressed the snooze button as gently as possible. With the silence returning he finally went back to sleep to count spiders in his dreams.

"Wow, even I never had that problem. Just how strong is he?" asked Yang.

"Kid must be pretty strong if he has to be that careful." said Tai.

For about 10 seconds when he heard his name being called down stairs.

"Jaune, your breakfast is ready! You need to get ready for school!"

"UUGGGHHHH!"

"Oh so close." said Sun.

Lifting his bed sheets off him and rubbing the morning crust out of his eyes, he walked in to his bathroom to start his morning rituals to begin the day. Turning the bathroom lights on he lifted both his eyes to look himself over in the mirror to see his hair messy, his face having no signs of facial hair, and his onesie still clean with no stains whatsoever, making part of his morning routine complete.

"Pfft, what's with that onesie?" snickered Neptune.

"Hey I'll have you know me and my sister's worked hard to make that for him." said Saphron. This got a sweat drop from a lot of people who were close to laughing. Even Weiss and her sister didn't feel like it was a good idea to point out her grammatical mistake.

Ok, now for the next part.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Jaune unzipped his pajamas, kicked it away, and opened his eyes to see what the mirror was showing him.

Before he ran away from home, his physique was less to be desired. He was scrawny and had no muscle mass making him look like he never lifted any weights in his life. It was hard for him to make people take him seriously due to that fact, especially whenever he tried to stop bullies that were targeting his sisters, or himself. It was even worse when he tried to train to become a Huntsman with his father only to be covered in bruises after a few minutes.

But when he was bitten by that spider he had to always look in the mirror every morning to make sure that the person in front of him was actually himself. Gone was the thin and weak body he had in Ansel. The body he now has is well toned with lean muscles showing no traces of fat, making him look like a seasoned athlete. It takes months, even years, to sculpt a body like this with intense training, dieting, and good genetics.

It only took him one night after he was bitten to look like he went through all that hassle.

"Mama like." said Yang licking her lips.

"I know." replied Coco who was also licking her lips.

The girls with crushes on Jaune just blushed when seeing his build, while some of the men felt jealous. Even Sun felt upset since he worked hard for his abs and yet Jaune just got bit by a spider and woke up like that.

After the gifts she got Ilia was very confused and couldn't look at Jaune right now.

His height, blonde hair, and blue eyes were the only good genetics he had going for him, but with his new physical appearance he would easily get girls to take a glance at him now and then.

The only problem now was his lack of confidence and zero experience talking to the opposite sex. Sighing to himself at the reality of his everyday dilemma, Jaune brushed his teeth, took a shower, and went back to his room to get dressed.

"A good physique is not a substitute for confidence." said Goodwitch.

His room had nothing interesting to look at, just a desk to study, a book shelf, and a closet full of hand-me-down clothes the Parkers gave to him (another kind gesture he will never forget) making him wonder how he would've survived in this kingdom if not for them.

Ozpin couldn't help but wonder that as well, his counterpart could have condemned a poor boy to die on the streets. Now he can't help but wonder if there are versions of him that did, all because they didn't see what he did.

Seeing that he already had a small pile of dirty clothes forming in the corner, he decided to clean up his room before Mrs. Parker decided to clean it for him. She already has enough problems trying to take care of the house, he wouldn't burden her when it involves his small problems like taking care of his room.

Scooping all of the clothes he could hold in his arms, he placed his bare foot on his door, and with his ability to stick to any surface, opened the closet to reveal something he wished he would never see again.

His burden, his shame, his Crocea Mors.

No wonder I leave my clothes in a corner.

He brought this thing with him when he thought his entrance to Beacon was secured, but since he didn't get in it'd become a liability, a burden, an ornament to his dead dreams of ever being a Huntsmen. He could not, dare not, unsheathe the blade unless he wanted to open old wounds that could cause him reach for the sword and snap it in two. Even though his great great-grandfather used this weapon in the war, with the later generation of Arcs using the same blade.

The Arc parents couldn't help but feel awful. The thought that this could have been their Jaune stung them badly, they should have supported Jaune's dreams not dash them aside.

"That boy has may feel horrible, but the fact that he didn't run home when he couldn't get into Beacon. I respect that kind of resolve." said Raven. This surprised Yang, Tai and Qrow to hear, Raven had been acting very unexpectedly since she got here.

Jaune dumped his filthy clothes on top of his families' ancestral blade, grabbed a set of new clothes, and slammed his closet shut with no feeling of regret at what he just did.

After all, a weapon is useless if you don't know how to use it.

"So true. The mightiest blade is useless in the hands of an armature, but the opposite is just as true, even the weakest blade in the hands of a master can be a force to reckon with." said Port.

"That second part, though true, didn't seem relevant to the story Peter." said Oobleck, Port just shrugged.

HIs family couldn't help him since they're afraid it would cause more harm to him then good, so they hoped he would stick to studying and make a normal life for himself. Turns out they were right about him getting a normal job, but not the part where he's a crime fighting super hero.

"Jaune, are you awake? Your food's getting cold." Mrs. Parker voice held concern for why he's still in his room.

"I'm almost done." Jaune shouted while putting on his clean clothes. A few seconds of changing later, the young superhero was ready to leave his room. Before he left he grabbed his favorite cereal brand hoodie off of his night stand and walked down stairs to get ready for another day of school.

As soon as his shoes touched the ground his nose caught the scent of eggs and bacon making his stomach growl loud enough for Mrs. Parker to notice him enter the kitchen

A few of the girls either blushed or giggled when hearing Jaune's stomach.

"Goodness, I knew you were hungry, but I never knew you could get that hungry." Mrs. Parker said while holding a frying pan full of scrambled eggs.

"Yeah, I'm a growing boy. Thank you for the food, Mrs. Parker." Jaune set another dining set across the table for her to eat breakfast.

"Now Jaune, you know you don't have to call me that." She chided the boy while pouring some eggs on to her plate and the rest to Jaune. He noticed that her portion is smaller than his, but he didn't want to argue with her at the beginning of the day. He pulled her chair for her to sit on and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you, aunt May." He soon sat down and they both said their prayers and started eating.

"So that's what the shop owner meant when he said Jaune had an aunt?" asked Juniper.

"It's nice to know that she sees Jaune as family though." said Ren.

Mrs. Parker was the most charitable, kind, and sweet woman Jaune was glad to ever meet when he was in Vale with nothing to his name. Even when the years are catching up to her she's still able to take care of herself, the house, and him all on her own, even if she's a woman past her prime. Her age still held some of her vibrant blonde hair, blue eyes, and smooth skin, so she could easily pull off being Jaune's Aunt by appearance alone.

"That is true, she does look like she could be a relative." said Saphron. Then when everyone gave Mrs. Parker a good look they noticed that she really could be mistaken for a member of Jaune's family.

But ever since the loss of her husband her hairs started to lose its yellow glow and started to turn grey. Her blue sapphire eyes have started to fade as well, and her skin that was radiant now started to show wrinkles. Life's now showing the results on what it's doing to Aunt May and it's killing Jaune inside knowing that he's one of the reasons.

"He must have done something or got involved in whatever it is that lead to Mr. Parker's untimely demise." said Ironwood.

"But Jaune couldn't have done it while knowing it would happen." said Velvet, trying to defend her crush.

"How are you feeling today, Jaune?" Aunt May showed her concern for him after what transpired to Mr. Macarren's store a few days ago.

"I'm fine Aunt May, you don't have to worry about me so much." He tried his best to give her his reassuring smile.

Please stop worrying about.

Pyrrha knew that Jaune never liked it when someone worried to much about him, thinking he wasn't worth the time. That always made Pyrrha sad to know Jaune thought so lowly about himself.

"I know. It's just really scary knowing that it was so close to home." To show what she meant she left her seat to turn on the TV for Jaune to see what is happening in Vale.

"With the added news that the infamous Roman Torchwick has escaped, a number of dust shop thefts has increased exponentially over the months making many people of Vale worry about the future of this kingdom." The news anchorman reported on the recent string of robberies, showing pictures of shops ransacked with their dust stolen.

"Well I'm glad to know I'm big enough to make the news." said Roman with a smirk.

"You see, whenever you see something like that I want you to turn around and run-"

"That all changed though when several shop owners were apparently saved by the masked vigilante known only by the name: Spider-man." The pictures of dust shop robberies were soon changed to see Spider-man exiting out of a port-a-john with a piece of toilet paper stuck to his feet.

"Pfft hahaha. Wow didn't they have anything better to use?!" laughed Mercury. A few people in the audience laughed as well but a few felt bad and tried not to.

Wish they showed me in a different picture. Thanks, J.J. Your hate for Spider-man shows even on the news.

"I suppose that makes sense, a man that runs the news and despises vigilantes." deduced Ozpin, "I wish people that work in the news would be unbiased and not just focus on their opinions but on others as well." a couple a people agreed with the headmaster on that one.

Jaune could let that go for the moment and smile, knowing the progress he's making wasn't a waste with how much crime has slowly stopped.

"Crimes involving dust have decreased these past few weeks making people notice the crime fighter's good deeds. Going to the streets, we have our news reporter asking the people of Vale what they think of Spider-man." The anchor man was soon replaced by a young woman in the middle of a busy part of Vale asking questions.

"Oh i wonder what people are gonna say about fearless-leader?" asked Nora.

"I'm not going have much expectation. Like we saw with team RWBY earlier, I believe it to have very split opinions." said Ren.

"Very astute Mr. Lie. People, be they human or faunus, will always have conflicting opinions of things." said Ozpin. A few understood that better than others, like Blake.

She knows that is one of the reasons the White Fang is what it is today, and how her father and Sienna used to argue about how to do things.

"Thanks, Chuck. As you can see around me many people are getting ready for work, but some are also looking up in hopes of seeing the Spider-man in action." The camera man shifted his sights to bystanders walking around to get to work while some were looking to the sky, seeing if they might catch a glimpse of the wall crawler web swing from building to building.

"I've asked many people about what they think of Spider-man and his crusade on crime. Here are their answers."

The next scene showed was different people, both human and Faunus, on what views they have on Jaune's actions of being Spider-man.

"I think what he's doing is a heroic act. The police can't stop this much crime, so it's nice knowing the fact we have someone else cleaning the streets and keeping us safe."

Ruby was smiling when she heard that, knowing that there are those that appreciate what Jaune is doing.

"He is a menace to this kingdom. He's probably some Huntsman deciding to take the law in his own hands."

"This is exactly what my other was talking about, it can be dangerous when someone does this kind of thing." said Weiss. This earned an annoyed grumble from Ruby.

"We have laws about people using their abilities without proper authority. That's why we have schools for kids that want to be Huntsmen, they need to have a proper license and registration for when and how they use their semblance."

"My thoughts exactly, if I had my way I would have this version of Mr. Arc arrested." said Ironwood. Again Ironwood didn't say it but if he did arrest this version of Arc he would have him studied to learn how to replicate him.

"Well unlike you and your tin-cans Jimmy, he's actually making a difference." spat Qrow.

"I can't believe you would support this kind of vigilantism Qrow." growled Ironwood.

"I pay my taxes, so the police do their jobs and they can't stop these crimes. This guy is risking his own life to stop these thugs for free. Tax payers should be paying this guy instead of the police."

"You see? This is what I'm talking about, he's making people question those who are officially tasked with this line of work." stated Ironwood.

"Maybe because they aren't doing their job right, so someone should step in and show them how it's done." added Raven. She was impressed with how this version of Arc was able to handle himself and if he was anything like theirs, then it's all the more reason she wants him and Yang to give her grandchildren.

"Huntsmen do their job and expect to get a reward for their troubles. Their nothing but mercenaries for hire either getting rid of Grimm or protecting people. Spider-man's doing the same thing but without asking for a reward for his action. Guy's a hero in my book."

"Unfortunately that is the case with some Huntsmen. They are only in it for the fame and glory, and it has lead to a few people to not trust huntsmen in general." explained Oobleck. This caused a few of the students to deflate when they heard that, especially Ruby who always thought of Huntsman as heroes.

"Do you know who wears masks and takes the law in their own hands? The White Fang. The guy's obviously a Faunus. I mean, he calls himself Spider-man for crying out loud. He may be stopping the crimes, but I'm sure he's also taking some dust for himself and his terrorist group."

"Sienna couldn't help but glare at that man, she had always despised people calling them terrorists. She had always viewed her White Fang as freedom fighters, standing up to the injustices that are placed on faunus everywhere.

"Many Faunus who are against the White fang are siding with Spider-man and his deeds. He's showing the humans that not all Faunus are like the White Fang."

Ilia was surprised and shocked to hear that there are faunus that stand against the White Fang, they are just trying to help them no longer be under discrimination. Meanwhile Adam was viewing these faunus as traitors to their own people, and may need to be made as examples.

"He's just making the Faunus community suffer even more. We need him to stop hiding behind a mask and show the world not all Faunus need to wear one. If he keeps hiding behind that mask of his he's no better than the White Fang and their own twisted brand of justice."

"I don't understand, how can they say that?!" shouted Sienna, "We are working to help the faunus and yet there some of our own people who see us as terrorists?!" Sienna couldn't understand this at all.

"Don't you get it? You think by making humans afraid it will end hatred between the two races, but what you fail to realize is fear doesn't end hate." said Wolf, "When you fear something would will grow angry towards it, and when you are angry at something you will inevitably grow to hate it, and when you hate something you wish to destroy it hoping that doing so will let you have nothing left to fear. Don't you see that in your quest to end the cycle of hatred, you are only perpetuating it instead." neither Sienna or Ilia could believe what they were hearing, was Wolf right? In the mission to help the faunus were they truly making things worse for them? This left them much to think about and reconsider.

Ghira was disheartened to know that the White Fang he had created had become what it is today. To learn his once peaceful organization could change into a terrorist group. Kali placed her hand on his and gave him a reassuring smile to help him feel better.

Adam however was thinking the only true way to help all faunus is to get rid of all humans completely. And it would seem that neither Sienna nor Ilia was of the same mind on this, so he could not look to them for aid in this. Perhaps the White Fang needs a new leader after all.

Blake agreed with what Wolf had said, and was sad to know she had help the current White Fang for so long and what she said to her parents before she left. She had called them cowards and traitors for leaving the Fang, and yet here she was regretting all she had done. Like her parents she left the Fang and still stands for faunus rights. When her friends notice the tears in her eyes they all give her a hug to help her.

"That man saved me a few nights ago, I'll never forget what he did for me. If you're watching this Spider-man know that I'm grateful for what you're doing for our kingdom and we thank you."

"I'm happy to know that my son has help so many people and that at least they are grateful for what he has done." said Nicholas who was racked with guilt while at the same time also filled with pride for his son.

"I think the dude's brave for wearing that costume everyday. How does he not get a bon-"

This got a laugh from Yang, Nora, Coco and anyone else with a dirty mind, while everyone else either blushed or groaned at that.

After they gave their answers it was soon shifted back to the news room with the anchorman giving his thanks to the reporter and her journalism.

"As you can see, many people have mixed reviews about our friendly neighborhood Spider-man, but to the Vale news crew we only have one question." For dramatic effect the camera zoomed in close for the man to say his question.

"Who is Spider-man?"

"Why do they do that on some news channels?" asked Nora.

"I think its for dramatic effect." said Velvet.

"But why though? Its kinda dumb if you ask me." said Cardin. A few agreed with that thought but chose to continue the viewing.

Aunt May turned off the TV and went back to eating her breakfast.

"That Spider-man sure is helping the kingdom." Jaune told Aunt May while scarfing down his food.

"Yes, he's doing good, but I'd prefer if you ever see him stopping crimes or doing anything dangerous, promise me you will run away." She said turning her head to look at picture across the room.

Jaune knew what picture it is, but he doesn't turn around to look at it. Instead he looks at his now empty plate before getting up from the table, taking the dishes off the table, and placing them in the sink. He walked behind Aunt May, still staring at the picture, and hugged her tightly, as if he ever let go she too might disappear.

"I promise you, Aunt May, I'll run away if I'm ever in trouble." Jaune tried his best to reassure her, taking a small glance at the picture of Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and another couple holding a small baby in their arms.

Jaune knows who they are, he knows what happened to them, and he also knows that he'll never replace her real family. All he can do is be there for her whenever she remembers what she lost and can never have back.

Many in the audience felt sad at this. Salem and Ozpin especially because they can never forget the day they lost their daughters from their battle, but they are glad to know they still have some family in this world.

Jaune's friends and family were happy that Jaune tries to be there for Mrs. Parker even if he can never truly replace the ones she loves.

Unwrapping his arms around her she turned to see him, her eyes red with tears, and returned his hug with her own.

"Thank you, Jaune." She told him, her breathing choppy and incoherent as she tried to control her crying.

After a few minutes of crying, Aunt May finally let go of him. She looked at the kitchen clock and had a look of surprise at the time.

"Oh my goodness, Jaune you need to leave your bus is about to leave!"

"What!" Looking at the clock he saw that the time's already 6:30am.

His bus arrives around 6:25 giving him only five minutes before it leaves.

"Oh that's not good." cringed Coco. She was so glad they had dorms at Beacon.

"I'll see you later, Aunt May." Quickly giving her a peck on the cheek, Jaune grabbed his back pack near the front door and ran to the bus before it leaves for school.

With crime slowly declining all he could do now is worry about his grades at school, bullies, and homework. With Spider-man stopping muggers from stealing dust, it'd only be a matter of time for something big to pop out of its hiding spot and try to put an end to Spider-man. He can only wonder why they'd want such large quantities of dust and risk getting caught.

An even scarier thought is who's control so many goons and making them get all this dust.

Roman Torchwick made sure he had a backup plan for any possible situation incase his life was at risk. From bribes, blackmail, and extortion the list goes on and on for any possible situation. Until someone came along and ruined any chance of escaping his current predicament.

Roman couldn't help but groan at this. He started to think just how much of a thorn in his side little red and friends had been. He supposed it was apt that her name was Rose.

"What do you mean you don't have any more men to supply me with?" Roman shouted at the person on the other end of his call.

"I did have enough men to help you, Roman. That changed when some guy wearing a leotard showed up and webbed them up." The person talking to Roman let out a loud sigh. "Can't believe I even said that sentence. You're going to have to accept the amount I'm giving you. Not many people are lining up to join you and your damn schemes anymore."

"It must suck when a guy in pyjamas is ruining all your plans, huh Roman?" asked Cindy.

"You tell me given that it your plans, your just forcing me to help with them." retorted Roman with a smug look on his face. This earned a glare from Cindy. Roman and Neo couldn't help laughing since even if she could do something about that, it was the nice one that made the decisions.

"What about your two bodyguards, Junior? I'm sure those two could waste that bug if you let me have them for just a few days." Roman said then took a long drag from his cigar.

"No can do," The man called Junior said without a second thought. "If the web guy somehow found out I'm part of whatever you're doing, I'm going to need all the help I can get."

Yang remembered fighting the Malachite twins before, she still gets a little pissed of at the thought of them from time to time.

"So, what, you're planning to just wait it out? The guy just showed up out of nowhere and you decide now to lay low?" Taking another long drag from his cigar Roman dropped it on the ground and squashed it under his shoe, leaving a small trail of cigars showing his nervousness.

"Sorry Roman," Junior said with no hint of caring. "But until I'm certain that the coast is clear you're on your own." Before he could talk, Junior hung up leaving Roman to scream in frustration.

"It looks like you have trouble with a bunch of kids in any universe Roman." laughed Mercury.

"Oh shove it peg leg." growled Roman while Neo gave the assassin the stink eye.

It was bad enough that he was being forced to do things that doesn't benefit him in the least, but now he has to deal with some animal in a costume wasting his men and stopping him from doing what he was forced into doing.

All the faunus in the room glared at Roman for that crack.

Even some of the police on his payroll can't bust them out with so many being put behind bars. It'd make them seem suspicious if they tried to let them out the next day, so he couldn't use them or else they could get caught and spill the beans on who's working for him.

See? That's another reason why you can't overly rely on huntsmen and police, some of them are on the payroll of criminals." said Qrow.

"But why, why would they do tha-" Ruby stopped her question, she remembered what Oobleck said earlier and felt that answered her question.

"Well, I guess I need to make do with what I got." Roman looked at only a dozen or so henchmen moving what little of dust they could get. His warehouse was supposed to be full of dust by now, but thanks to that so called 'hero' his warehouse was less than half of what he promised his benefactor would be.

"Now that just breaks the heart right that?" sighed Roman. Some of the huntsmen and huntresses in training couldn't help but snicker at the criminals misfortune.

"Neo," Roman called out with no answer before he heard glass shatter out of thin air, revealing a petite looking girl with multicolored hair and eyes blinking at him, as if she is asking a question.

"Looks like I get to show up. Though I'm a little sad I have to fight Jaune." said Neo with a bit of a pout.

"What, you sad your gonna fight your little boyfriend~?" teased Roman, who then received a swift punch to the ribs.

"Seems we need to personally steal dust this time," The multicolored girl frown at such a mundane task. "If you haven't noticed, we're losing henchmen. Not by the police, not by Huntsman, but some delusional idiot dressed in a bug suit pretending to be a 'hero' for crying out loud!"

When Roman told her what was stopping them from stealing dust she wrapped her arms around her stomach in a silent laugh.

"I admit I would have laughed to if I didn't see him in action first." shrugged Neo.

"You may think it's funny, but the one pulling our strings thinks otherwise."

"I'm sorry." said Cici who just pulled a Pyrrha. Cindy just grumbled in the mirror.

He told her that she doesn't have to worry about just one guy parading around in a costume, that he can get his guys to take care of the problem and be done with it. Turns out Roman would be eating his own words when his underlings kept ending up in prison with less and less dust being sent to the boss lady.

"Well excuse me, you try taking someone in a leotard seriously and then you can criticise me." snarled Roman.

"If you think it's funny then you should know that less henchmen means less practice dummies." Roman tried to give a reason for Neo to get serious, but she just shrugged her shoulders.

There're always other people for her to play with, henchmen were a dime-a-dozen, so she really didn't care if they get caught or not.

"Yeah Roman, that's not much of a big deal." said Neo.

"Less henchmen also means no errand boys."

Neo just raised her eyebrow wondering again why she should care.

"Where are you going with this Roman?" asked Neo.

"Oh I'm sure we'll find out Neo." replied Roman with a grin on his face. This just made Neo a little nervous.

"No errand boys mean no one to get you ice cream." Roman said in satisfaction with how Neo's apathy turned to rage as soon as he told her what she liked most was at stake.

"NO, not the ice cream!" cried out Neo. She felt a little better when she remembered she now has unlimited ice cream and legally owns an ice cream shop.

Now it was Neo's problem and Roman needs her to take this seriously, so they can take care of this bug problem before it turns into an infestation.

"Now you see the situation we're in?" Neo gave Roman a nod. "Good. Then we need to bait him into thinking we're just stealing dust like we've been doing. As soon as we see him try and stop the heist... well, you know the rest, right?"

"You play dirty Roman." scowled Neo

"You left me no choice my dear Neo." replied Roman with a smug look. This earned him yet another swift jab in the rib cage. "You need to stop with that!" growled Roman. Neo just gave him an innocent look.

Neo nodded and smiled wide enough to show teeth at what he was implying.

A few people shivered at that smile while Tyrian, who has been very quite this feeling just started laughing at the psychotic girls smile.

With Neo on board, Roman couldn't help but pull out another cigar out of his breast pocket. He placed it between his lips and used the end of his cane as a lighter and smoked it a bit more slowly to enjoy the taste.

"Let's show this Spider-man why there's no other heroes in Vale."

Whenever Jaune arrives to school, he always sees the many differences between the one he went back in Ansel and the school he's attending now. While the school in Ansel was a small, close knit community with its school holding many students with everyone knowing everyone. The school in Vale was much larger and had so much room and space to wander around it made him get lost on where to go on his first day.

This school is called Midtown High, and this is where Jaune will be getting his education for a better future. At least that's what he keeps telling himself whenever a situation like this happens.

"Move, Jauney boy." A large senior wearing a Midtown jersey said as he shoved Jaune out of his way with his shoulder even when Jaune was a fair distance away from him.

"I think we can tell this guy is the school bully." said Coco who glaring Cardin, who was sweating bullets.

'At least one thing stays the same in any school I go to. It's like they know I'm a prime target to get pushed around.'

This caused all of Jaune's to now glare at Cardin who was now sweating so much his clothes under his armor were soaked.

He could deal with being lost at school every now and then, he can even get used to so many people being mean to him, but the one thing that gets him in a sour mood is where the school is located and what it's facing.

While Jaune's standing in the courtyard of the school, surrounded by a sea of both lower and upper classmen, a tall castle like tower could be seen looming over making him wonder if fate's telling him he could've been there, but decided against letting him join.

That large tower was part of a larger campus called Beacon Academy, where many talented and strong youths enter to become professional Huntsmen. A place Jaune has no right to ever set foot in, yet every time he goes to his normal school he looks up and sees the offending edifice, making him think of what it would be like being a student there.

This caused a few people in the audience to feel very depressed for Jaune.

"Man imagine what would have happened to our Jaune if he didn't get accepted, I doubt he would have been as lucky." said Yang.

"Well I'm glad things went the way they did for ours. I wouldn't trade him for the world." said Pyrrha, her friends nodded in agreement. Jaune's family were happy to see that he had such good friends.

The thought of attending Beacon made him think of the small Huntress-in-training he talked to while working at Mr. Macarren's shop.

I'm sure Ruby's doing fine at Beacon. If she was able to fend off those bowler hat guys with a weapon like that, she has nothing to worry about.

Ruby blushed a bit at Jaune's words, she was happy that Jaune thought so highly of her. Yang noticed the blushing and felt like teasing her.

"Whats up sis, your as red as your namesake~? Could it be because of what he said hmmm~?" teased the blonde brawler.

"Yang stop!" shouted Ruby who was hiding in her hood. Yang just laughed her sister and continued to watch the viewing.

This caused Jaune to sigh in resignation. When he left the shop, and changed into his costume he found Ruby handling the situation on her own before one of them took Mr. Macarren hostage. If they decided to fight her instead it would've been Ruby taking them down and giving them to the cops, not him.

He was able to beat many criminals thanks to his spider abilities, but Jaune knew that if there was even a small chance he'd get into Beacon, he probably wouldn't have made it through the first day. The truth hurt for the young hero, but because of that truth it made him thankful for what it brought him.

'I wish you were more confident in yourself Jaune, it hurts me when I see you think so low of yourself.' thought Pyrrha with a sad expression.

'I can't help but wonder, is it my fault you feel that way Jaune." Though Nicholas who was racked with guilt.

'We may not have let you into Beacon, but we can let you have spider powers! The only down side is that you need to always be financially stable for the rest of your life! I'm pretty sure that's what the universe is saying to me.'

"That's an interesting way to think about it." giggled Summer.

Though the thoughts of what Beacon would be like still lingered, the boy stared at the tower for a few more moments before he heard a familiar voice speak to him from behind.

"Dude, you're still doing that thing when you get mopey looking at that school." His friend told him while placing both his arms on Jaune's shoulders and started to shake him from his funk.

"Wait who's that guy." asked Coco.

"I'm sure we will find out Ms. Adel." said Glynda.

The only friend he had in this school was Harry Osborn, and just like him he also enrolled to this school making Jaune relived that he wasn't alone here.

"Well I'm glad this Jaune has some friends." said Juniper.

"Yeah I just wish it was us." said a sad Ruby.

"Sorry, Harry, it's just really hard not to notice." The blond was about to look at Beacon again before his best friend shifted his body in the opposite direction.

"Jaune, seriously bro you need to let it go." Harry told him with sympathetic gaze.

The amount of people who knows Jaune's predicament can be counted on one hand. He didn't like to openly tell others his situation 'cause it made him look like he wanted people to feel sorry for him. But when he met Harry both boys understood the feeling of trying to live up to their dreams before reality pulled the rug under you.

"Truly a sad sight to see when a boys dream is crushed by the cruelty we call reality." mourned Port.

"Yes. Dreams are what make life worthwhile, and should never be crushed." agreed Ghira.

"Kind of hard since It's literally at the center of Vale." Harry was about to say something to him when the school's speakers blared its horns signaling them go to class. "Come on, we don't want get caught in the 5-minute rush hour." Jaune placed his backpack over his shoulder and walked inside the building already seeing many students getting to their classroom.

Harry was taking longer strides to catch up to his friend, his look of concern still showing. "Look, I get that your still hung up on the whole rejection thing, but it's already been months since then. Shouldn't you be worrying about something more important?"

Harry was now in front of Jaune his sympathetic face now turned serious. "Like how you're supposed to make more lien to help Aunt May."

Jaune instantly shoved all his angst of not getting into Beacon and replaced it with plans to help Aunt May. "I already have several jobs, the one job that really helps is taking photos."

"Well that explains why he took pictures of himself from before." said Kali.

"Yes that does give some explanation to it I suppose." said Willow.

"You mean taking photos of Spider-Man?" Harry looked at his friend as if he grew a third head. "He'll be old news in about month or so, the real celebrity in Vale is Pyrrha Nikos."

"Who?" Jaune asked him like he should care.

"Well it's good to know that at least several universes have Jaune not know about me." giggled Pyrrha.

"The invincible girl from Mistral, she's attending-" Harry paused for a moment then shook his head. "Never mind. I think it's better if you don't know who she is and focus on how to actually get a well-paid job."

"I don't know." Jaune looked around the hallway they're in and saw many people either looking at newspapers or on their scroll, all showing the wall crawler doing something amazing.

"I've been getting a good supply of cash because of taking photos, why should I stop?" Jaune had many side jobs from helping Mr. Macarren's shop, being a waiter at the local diner, he even tried being a bouncer to make use of his super strength.

"Jeeze, the guy sure has a lot of jobs." said Neptune.

'Kind of glad I didn't take that last job. Heard it got trashed by some crazy chick that couldn't wait in line like everyone else.'

Yang chuckled nervously at that, especially when Tai and Summer all gave her a look.

"I'm just saying that you need to get a good job that really benefits from your abilities."

Jaune knew what job Harry was hinting at, but he couldn't go back to that place that made him into what he is now.

Many were confused at that and hope it would explain a bit more

"I already tried getting a job there." Jaune said while finally reaching the classroom.

"Yeah, as a janitor for my dad's company!" Harry was baffled when Jaune told him what job he was trying to get when he got to Vale. Jaune was even more surprised when Harry told him that was one of the many places his Father owned in this Kingdom.

"Wait so Jaune's friend owns the facility that housed the spider that bit him?" asked Blake.

"Looks like it, though that is very strange. I have never heard of such a facility in Vale." said Glynda.

"I'm not even sure I could get an internship there, Harry." Jaune told him taking out his notebook in front of him and getting ready for class to begin.

"You and I both know you can totally get it. You're the smartest guy I know!"

"I need to be if I wanted to get in a good college." He never really thought he would ever go to college since he always had poor grade back at his previous school. Aunt May and Uncle Ben was the reason why he wanted to get a higher learning.

Jaune never stopped learning new things, in or out of school and soon his bad grades became straight A's with many of his teachers giving positive remarks, some thinking he could easily receive a scholarship this year.

"Well it's good to know he is at least improving on that front." said Weiss.

"Yes that is a relief to hear. He is a smart boy but always had trouble in school most of the time." said Juniper.

"It's just an internship, it's not going to tamper your studying. I'm sure if I call my dad right now he would no doubt refuse everyone else and pick you." Harry's father, Norman Osborn, was one of the richest people in all four kingdoms even rivaling other big-name businesses from technology development, medical research, science, even dust. It was as if his family name was everywhere making Jaune wonder how he became friends with the heir to the corporation.

"Wait, I've never heard of Osborn before." said Weiss.

"That's because he doesn't exist in your world." said Wolf. At hearing this they supposed there are worlds where they don't exist either, though it was a frightening thought to say the least.

Harry was about to speak more about the job but was stopped when a paper airplane dive-bombed on to his head with several students laughing.

Jaune picked up the paper plane, opened it, and saw the word 'LOSERS' written on before he balled it up and tossed it in a nearby trashcan.

'Oh yeah, now I remember how we became fast friends. We're both targets for bullies.'

Once again Cardin got a few glares and shrunk in his seat. Though he is trying to change its hard for others to forgive him.

"Looks like it doesn't matter what school my baby boy goes to, he'll always end up harassed by bullies." sighed Juniper.

"I hate it when jerks like that don't give him a break." growled Saphron.

Jaune turned his head to see that the one who threw the plane was the school's star football player and local bully, Flash Thompson, who high fived one of his friends, not even acting like he didn't do it.

"Well i can tell their type with just a look. Their the meathead jock types who think it's funny to mess with people like knock books out of people's hands, or trip them during lunch or push them in lockers." said an annoyed Ilia. Cardin was sweating heavily because that perfectly described the old him.

"I'm so glad that we don't get to see him when we become seniors." Jaune only gave his friend a nod of agreement when their teacher entered the class room causing all of the student's quiet down.

"Ok class, it's time to pass out last week's pop quiz. Don't complain once you see your score and if those who have a bad grade can take a retake after school." The teacher said while giving each student their paper. Some were verbally praising their hard work while others were cursing themselves for not studying hard enough.

"Alright! Flash passes another day!" Flash congratulated himself for getting a C- on his quiz.

"He seriously calls that passing?" asked an annoyed Weiss.

"I know right? I think a B or B- is considered passing, a C- is more like a 'well you didn't fail'." said Yang, earning a face palm from Weiss and Goodwitch.

"You know Flash, you should know that life doesn't revolve around football." The teacher said while passing Harry's sheet showing an A at the corner of his quiz. "You should realize that soon since this is your last year."

Looking back at his student's pop quizzes he took one off the stack and smiled at who's paper he was giving. "Mr. Arc, I expect no less of what you have in my class." He told him while giving his student his pop quiz showing an A+. "Maybe you should give others help picking up their grade, especially some who are in the football team." That last remark caused the class to laugh at who that was meant for causing Jaune to wince at the implication.

'Thanks for adding more wood to the fire teach-Uh oh!'

"Perhaps it would be more prudent not to goad the delinquent." deadpanned Goodwitch. She knew that very well from past experience, and the other teachers agreed with her.

"Whoops!" Jaune immediately ducked to avoid a football aimed at his head, causing the fast object to hit the teacher and scatter the remaining paperwork.

"I want to get bit by whatever spider made him that fast." said Sun.

"Yeah but I don't think that Flash guy is going to get out of that very well." said Coco.

"Mr. Thompson," The teacher moved his head to see Flash still in his throwing position frozen in horror at who he threw the ball at. "I'd like to have a word with you. After class."

Flash slumped back to his seat with more students laughing at him for digging his own grave. Harry was one of the most vocal about mistake and patted Jaune's shoulder. "You know, I never believed in karma until now."

"Yeah, karma." Jaune turned around just in time to see Flash give him a short glare before looking down at his pop quiz. "Hopefully karma doesn't decide to do the same to me."

"That boy need to learn to quite while he is ahead." said Nicholas.

"Yes, but I don't see him as the kind to think things through." said Ghira.

"Kid lucky I'm not his teacher." said Tai. If that was one of his students he would make sure Flash never tried that again.

The rest of the day soon became a blur to Jaune with his classes starting and ending when the last bell telling everyone that school's over. The students ran out the front doors of the school either walked back home, waited for their parents to pick them up, or hitched a ride with their friends who owned a car. Harry was in the first category until a long black limo stopped in front of the school. The back window rolls down to reveal a man who looked like an older version of Harry.

"Sheesh I know the dudes loaded but isn't that a bit much?" asked Mercury.

"It's… not as uncommon as you think." said Weiss. Winter nodded in agreement.

"Dad? Why are you here?" Harry asked surprised that his dad would show up out of the blue.

"Come now son. Can't a parent pick up their child after schools over?" Harry's father, Norman Osborn, shifts his gaze to Jaune. "Mr. Arc, I'm glad that your still friends with my son. He tends to lose them after a few days."

This got a chuckle from a few people knowing the Dad was joking with Harry.

"Dad!" Harry shouted from embarrassment.

"Joking, just joking." Norman lifted his hand and snapped his fingers as the driver got out of the car and open the passenger seat. "Come along son, you too Mr. Arc. It'd be rude of me not to drop you off at your home."

Not passing up on the offer Jaune entered the limo and seated himself on the car's comfy seat. Looking around he notices the inside of the fancy limo holds a bar with expensive looking wine and fancy glasses.

"Jeez I think peg-leg was right, that is a bit much." said Yang. Weiss decided to just keep her mouth shut since she didn't want to sound like a broken record.

"So, how was your day, son?" Mr. Osborn said while reaching for the bar, but chose to pull out a can of soda instead of wine.

"Well, I got an A on my pop quiz today." Harry said to his father proudly making the man smile.

"Good job, Harry." Mr. Osborn looked at Jaune squirm under his stare. "No doubt with your help, isn't that right Mr. Arc."

"Jaune should give himself more credit, I'm sure he helped out a lot." said Pyrrha.

"Yeah Jaune's always been a big help." said Ruby.

"I just helped him understand the basics, Mr. Osborn." Jaune tried to give the credit to Harry.

"If he can't understand the basics then he's doomed to repeat them. I'm thankful that he has a friend with a good head on their shoulders, much better than the last group of friends he had last year." Harry looked away from his father and set his attention on the carpet.

"I thank you, Arc, for being my son's only friend. Most of his 'friends' use him for personal gain, but not you, and for that you have my thanks." Mr. Osborn nodded his head in approval, making Jaune embarrassed for the complement. Jaune was going to say something when the limo stopped causing him to stumble from surprise.

Weiss knew what it was like to have 'friends' that took advantage of her, it wasn't just admirers so she could understand what Mr. Osborn is saying.

"Looks like we made it to your home." Mr. Osborn opened the car door showing Aunt May's house. "Have a nice day, Arc."

"Thank you, sir." Jaune got out of the car and turned around. "See at school Harry." Ha waved giving his friend a friendly smile.

"See ya, Jaune." Harry said still looking at the limo's carpet making his friend frown. He was about to open the front door but was stopped when he heard Mr. Osborn's voice speak to him again.

"Do be careful, Mr. Arc." Mr. Osborn voice became stern and cautious. "Even if the news says this masked hero is taking crime off the streets, that doesn't mean you should feel safe and let your guard down." After he said that Mr. Osborn's limo drove off making Jaune wonder about what he was implying.

'He is clearly up to no good.' 'What do you mean Cindy?' 'He just breaks with shifty business.' Thought Cici and Cindy in their head. Roman, Neo, Salem as well as Mercury and Emerald could tell as much.

The night life in Vale always seemed like it was a completely different kingdom compared to when every street, every corner, and every building was covered in sunlight. When the sun had set, and people go home it soon became a playground for many shady people trying to find their big score.

Unfortunately for them what they always find was a spider.

"Yeah more superhero action! I was kinda getting bored with the school stuff." said Ruby.

"Ruby, while I may not read comic books I felt that was important for world building." said Weiss.

"I'm with Ruby on this one, other than seeing fearless-leader have a friend here, that was kinda dull." said Nora.

"I thought it was interesting to see Jaune in his normal life here." said Ren.

"Hey! Let me down!" The purse snatcher cried out, the webbing attached to his back dangling under a tall light post.

"I like to remind you that I saw you snatch a purse from some lady a block away." Spider-Man said standing under the struggling thug with a pen and paper in his hands. "There! That should tell the police why you're strung up in the first place."

Using his ability to stick to any surface the web-head climbed on the light post and came face to face with the purse snatcher. When the crook tried to take a swing at his captor Spider-Man bounded his arms to his chest with a note saying, 'Purse snatcher' at the center.

"Eh it works." shrugged Yang. A few found this funny

Jumping back down on the ground the wall-crawler admired his work for a few moments before he saw a young woman running towards him. As soon as she reached him she placed her hands on her legs to try and get her breathing in check. "Here you go ma'am, it's dangerous to walk alone at night. Try and invest in a car or a public bus if you're really desperate." Spider-Man handed the purse over giving her a two-finger salute. The woman looked up to show her bright emerald eyes to his white compound ones and gave him a nod as a thank you for helping her.

A few people think she looks familiar and wonder who she is. A few recognise her as a part of Cinder's team at Beacon and know that can't be good.

Both Neo and Roman knew who that was and what this meant. Neo was a little nervous about the implications.

"Also, if you have a scroll do you mind if you call the police? These things aren't really used for pockets." Spider-Man showed her that his pants don't have sewn in pockets.

"Well that's what you get for deciding to dress like that." said Coco, earning a glare from Velvet.

The girl with black twin tails pulled out her scroll and showed it to him. "Great, thank you and stay safe!" Spider-Man shot out a web string to a nearby building and pulled, causing him to rocket towards the building leaving the silent girl on her own.

Seeing that the coast is clear she dropped her smile to a sneer and changed back to her original look. With her disguise gone she sends a text to her partner in crime.

"I knew it was you, that's your usually disguise." said Roman.

"Yeah and I'm not really excited for what this means." said Neo.

"Wait so that was you all along? The entire time you have been at Beacon with and hair and eye change?!" shouted Yang who was none to happy about that.

"Pretty much, Cinder needed a fourth after all and she chose yours truly." replied the tri-colored criminal. Everyone then looked to the split Cinder and Cici just waved at everyone with a smile.

'He took the bait.' With the message sent she looked up to see Roman's lackey still hung up. She shrugged her shoulders and walked to Roman's location. She already finished her part of the job, now it's up to Roman's and his part of the plan to finish this guy off.

Neo knew where this was going, she was going to end up fighting Jaune and was not happy about that. Granted it wasn't her Jaune but still, ever since the second universe they watched she couldn't get the thought out of her mind and she had continued to be impressed since. True counting this one it's only been two after the one where she developed these feelings but still.

Web swinging from building to building he patrolled the streets at night while trying to find bigger crime for him to stop and take photos of. Tonight, was by far the quietest night he ever patrolled. Not a lot of crimes have popped up in a while, which is a good thing, but left Spider-Man clueless on who oversaw so many criminals stealing large amounts of dust.

While he landed on top of a high story building he walked to the edge of the roof gazing upon the kingdom's streets hoping to catch a crime that can lead him in the right direction. His silent watching was interrupted when his stomach growled, reminding him that he forgot to eat.

'Curse my super metabolism! It's like I'm just breathing in food rather than eating it. Hopefully when I get back there'll be leftovers in the fridge.'

"Well looks like there's one down side to his powers." said Weiss.

"Why do you think I eat so many cookies? My semblance makes me have a fast metabolism so I have to eat a lot." complained Ruby.

"I'm not seeing how that's a down side, the way i see it is you get to eat all you want without getting fat, I'd say that's unfair." said Yang who crossed her arms in jealousy.

"Well consider the food bills. I doubt having a high metabolism is good for your wallet, especially since this Jaune needs several jobs to help with Mrs. Parker." pointed out Ren. This made Yang decide to admit defeat on this one.

Showing no signs of life on the streets Spider-Man decided to jump of the roof and web swing again to try and forget his hunger.

"Come out come out wherever you, Mr. Criminals! I literarily get up at night just to do this!" He taunted.

This got a snicker from a few people in the audience.

Just when he was about to call it quits for the night he felt his mind give him a warning, signaling danger's nearby. He stopped swinging and land on the side of a random building to spot where the danger is.

"Ok seriously what is that?" asked Roman.

"That's his spider sense." said Wolf, "It worms as a early warning device in his head, it will alert him to danger, let him have an understanding of his surroundings, let's him swing around the city without looking where he shoots his web, and allows him to perceive things at a faster rate then a normal person."

"Now that's just not fair. So he can just use it and he won't have to worry while in a fight?" complained Roman. This made a few people jealous wishing they had his powers, he seemed to have a lot of them. Blake also thought it was unfair since it basically made stealth useless.

"Well he has to be quick enough to react, also his spider sense can be fooled if he doesn't perceive that he is in danger, if it's as fast as he is or if its tailored to the spider sense itself, but yeah pretty much." said Wolf. Many still felt that was unfair while others, I.E Ruby, Sun, Yang and Neptune, thought it was cool.

"And here I thought tonight I would only be stopping purse snatchers." He said to himself when he saw a group wearing red sunglasses and bowler hats break into a closed dust shop. "Finally, maybe I can get some useful information tonight."

Jumping down to street level Spider-Man unclipped the camera that was attached to his waist and webbed it on a nearby corner store facing the crime. He walked through the front door to see them packing all the dust inside briefcases.

"Is he seriously just walking in like that? That seems far too dangerous." said Winter with concern in her voice.

"I'm sure Jaune knows what he's doing." said Pyrrha, 'At least I hope he does.'

Seeing that they haven't notice his arrival he leaned on a wall for a couple of seconds before deciding to just stand on his legs and cross his arms.

"Oh I see what he's doing, it's one of those things in comic books where the hero is instantly there without the thugs knowing and he's just leaning on the wall." said Yang, "I always wondered how they did that? Though now I guess that answers that question."

"Hey guys! How's it going?" Spider-Man said making the crooks stop what they were doing and face him.

"WHOA! I knew you guys looked familiar!" Spider-Man said in surprise with most of their crooks pulling out their weapons. "The guy on the right was the dead giveaway." A second later Spider-Man shot a web at the man on his right holding a shotgun. He pulled the gun out of his hands and used it to hit several crooks with the butt end of the shotgun, knocking them out cold.

"Well he is certainly efficient. Now he has less of them to worry about." sais Tai.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean he should relax just yet." added Qrow. Several of the professionals nodded in agreement, not taking a battle seriously could end badly.

One of the thieves holding an axe tried to side swipe the spider, but only cut the air when Jaune jumped on to the ceiling. "Hey, I think I saw you a few nights ago." The same man tried to attack him again, but Spider-Man kept dodging each strike. "Didn't I put you behind bars already?"

Spider-Man caught the man's arm and with enough force pushed him away knocking two other thugs behind him. As they tried to get back up Spider-Man quickly shot out a large web that expanded into a net making them struggle in vain to break free.

"Well it that didn't take long." said Raven. Though they were that tough it was still impressive how quickly they went down.

With all the crooks either knocked out cold, or trapped in a web, Spider-Man landed on his feet and walked over to the one that was still conscious to ask him questions.

"So, I've been dealing with guys dressed like you for a while now. I'm guessing you all have a boss, right?"

"Y-yeah." He said nervously.

"Great! If you just tell me where his evil lair is that would be-" Spider-Man automatically got down on his stomach when a hail of bullets shot at the shop's window, littering the entire floor with broken glass.

A few people jumped in surprise at that. They felt that was risky for them to do since some of their guys were in there.

Roman knew however this was all a set up, and most likely one orchestrated by himself.

After the firing stopped Spider-Man looked back at the guy he was talking to now shaking like a leaf. "I'm guessing this was a trap?" He asked him.

"Y-yes." The crook said still shaking.

"But you didn't know that this would happen, right?"

"No."

"Kind of a scummy thing to do isn't? Not letting your guys know they could die even if things go right just seems wrong to me." said Yang.

"Well blondie that's how things are I'm afraid, sometimes knowing that could ruin the plan when trying to get the drop on someone." explained Roman.

"That doesn't make it right though!" shouted Ruby. Roman just shrugged at this.

"Awesome." He looked around the shop to find an exit. When he finally found the back door, he started to formulate a plan. "Welp, love to talk more but I'll let the police handle the rest. Later!" Spider-Man used his web to open the back door and quickly crawled on the floor, leaving the scared criminal stuck to the floor.

"Bye." With the hero gone the crook finally succumbed to fatigue and quickly fainted.

"Well! I'm not paying you all to stand here! Go get him!" Roman yelled at his crew while sitting on the hood of his getaway car.

"But what if he's still alive, boss?" One of his henchmen said making the rest nod at the thought that he might still be kicking.

"Oh he's still alive and he is going to kick your butts!" shouted Sun who was pumped to see some action.

"I don't pay you to think! Go and check or else I'll make sure you'll being joining the same grave he's in!" Roman threatened making them shut up and follow their orders. One of them ran inside the now busted shop and within 5 minutes he went back outside shaking his head.

"He's gone bo-AAHH" Before he could tell Roman what he saw the thug was encased in webbing making him unable to move.

Those that enjoy comic book heroes smiled knowing this was going to be good.

Twip! Twip! Twip!

One by one more of his goons were trapped in webbing, unable to get out leaving on his own. Roman, seeing that he's alone, decided to leave the scene before more trouble arrives. Reaching for the car handle he was about to open the door when his hand was covered in webs. He tried to pull his hand out only for it to stay in place.

"Oh boy…" groaned Roman with his face in his hands.

"Its alright Roman. Think of it this way, it took a superhero to beat you." said Neo while patting his back.

"Yeah or a bunch of kids." said Roman remembering how he got locked up.

Roman was about to reach for his scroll to call Neo when he felt a sudden extra weight on the car. Looking up he sees Spider-Man in a crouching position staring at Roman with his wide compound eyes.

"Judging from how well dressed you are compared to the rest of them, I'm assuming you're the boss of these guys?" The web head waved his arm to show Roman's goons pinned to the ground covered in strong webbing. "I feel like I've seen you before... I know! You're that guy that sells suits and guarantees that I'll like the way I look, right?"

"Well… I suppose I could use that for when I start my shop."said Roman who actually liked that idea.

"Does this stuff come out of you? How the hell is this thing so strong?!" Roman was starting to get frustrated with how easily he'd been caught. It was supposed to be a simple ambush and filling this guy with dust, but instead his goons got webbed up with him being at the mercy of this animal in a costume.

"I know right?! That's just humiliation." grumbled Roman with Neo patting his back again. Some of the faunus in the room once again weren't too happy about the animal crack.

'How the hell can't I break this thing? It's feels like I'm trying to pull flexible steel!'

"That's what I want to know too." said Ruby. She wanted to know if she could somehow make her own.

"Well that at least explains how it can support his weight when swinging around." said Goodwitch.

"I may be called Spider-Man, but I'm not exactly all spider." To show what he meant he waved both hands in front of Roman and shot another small web at Roman's other arm to the vehicle. "There! Now you can't escape." Doing a front flip off the car the superhero stood next to the subdued criminal trying even harder to get himself free.

"Looks like your gonna 'stick' around." punned Yang. This earned a groan from many in the theater, even Cici in the nicest way she could think of gave some criticism, while Cindy just went full throttle on the insult.

"To be honest I kind of expected more out of this, but I'm just glad that it's not passed midnight yet." The web slinger yawn loudly. "And I'm not saying that this was a short fight, I just really need my sleep."

"Rub it in a little more why don't you?!" shouted Roman. A few people were laughing at how this was getting to Roman.

"Trust me, hero, you'll get your sleep. As soon as my friend's done with you."

"What friend? I just took down your-" Spider-Man quickly shifted his body in to a fighting position, his spider sense warning him of imminent danger.

'Where's it coming from? This never happened before!'

Neo knew what was happening and for some reason she was actually worried for someone else. It was really weird, but ever since coming here she could feel her violent tendencies slowly going away. She just couldn't explain it, maybe being around other people besides Roman was helping with that?

"Oh this is going to be good." said Tyrian. After the second viewing, he got an idea of how Neo's semblance worked so he knew what was gonna happen.

He looked left and right with no signs of danger. Suddenly the sound of breaking glass came from behind, causing him to turn around and see a blade close to his face. Then all he saw was red.

A few people gasped and were afraid that Jaune might have been badly hurt or worst.

Neo was always confident with her abilities, that's one of the reasons why Roman always had her by his side as a bodyguard. Though she usually gets her hands dirty whenever she needed to, that was why she was looking down at Roman and his lackeys gun down a dust shop with a bored expression.

She would've gone down to help, but with so much fire power it seemed mundane to even be here. When Roman told her that it was some guy wearing a skin-tight suit stopping his crime spree it she'd thought he'd gone crazy. But when she disguised herself as some helpless woman and saw what he could do she could only think of one word. Ridiculous.

Neo would be lying if she said she wouldn't feel the same at first, but after seeing how this Jaune fought, she knew not to judge a book by its cover. You would think she of all people would know that given how she looks.

How some guy pretending to be a hero could stop so much of their progress baffled her. And with how brightly colored he dresses up she wondered how he didn't die from getting shot.

"Maybe because bullets can't touch him." snarked Coco.

"Yeah kinda hard to get shot when you can dodge bullets point blank." added Yang.

Once the gunfire was over and all was silent, the tri-colored woman was about to leave early when she heard several of Roman's men scream in surprise when they were caught in webs. She saw Roman was about to escape but he too was caught in the Spider-Man's web, leaving her no choice but to do her job and get Roman out of danger.

Her semblance was a useful ability, allowing her to trick her enemies before she swooped in for the kill, or as an escape route whenever she and Roman needed to leave. She was an ambush oriented fighter, so when she was right behind the confused crime fighter she believed this fight was as good as hers.

"Yeah and it's annoying." grumbled Yang.

"Hey Em, don't you think it's like a better version of your semblance?" asked a smug Mercury, "I mean her semblance make allusions too, but hers are solid and it isn't limited to one person, two if you try hard enough." Emerald wanted to punch Mercury right now, but she would be lying if she didn't think so herself or if she didn't feel a little jealous.

"Mercury that's not nice, there's nothing wrong with Emmy's semblance." said Cici. This made Emerald have a nervous smile, she was still not use to this but wasn't complaining. Mercury was a little uncomfortable about this as well, he is more used to Cinder threatening them both not… this.

A simple stab from behind and that should've been the end for the so-called hero.

"Woah that's sharp!" He shouted in surprise before leaping several feet away. His forehead bleeding and covering his right lens. This caused Neo to look surprised at how quick his reaction was. No one notices her ambush until it was too late, and yet as soon as her blade was just a few centimeters close to his head he quickly evaded, only receiving a superficial wound.

Many let out a breath they didn't know they were holding, though were a little worried about him bleeding like that.

Neo was relieved as well, though she didn't know if she should be a little insulted that Jaune was able to dodge her attack like that. No one has ever been able to do that before and she never expect anyone to do it either.

"Neo! What took you so long? Get me out of this thing!" Her partner screamed in frustration.

Neo was about to use her blade to cut Roman free, but was stopped when Spider-Man shot out a long strand of webbing on her weapon causing her to shift her focus.

"Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask if you have a license for that weapon. A minor like yourself shouldn't have such dangerous objects."

"Now if it were anyone else they would have been insulted, but Neo was used to that sort of thing. Her size makes people assume she is younger than she actually is. She doesn't find it insulting it's just the facts, and if she was feeling vain enough she would also chalk it up to her cute looks. Now maybe she might mess with someone for that crack but she wouldn't get mad at them, maybe just flirt with them and make them uncomfortable.

Seeing that this hero needed to be taken down first, Neo closed the distance between them and used a flurry of thrust to weaken him before going in for the kill.

"Ok! I see you really know how to use that thing! Sorry for assuming you didn't!" He apologized while dodging every attack she was giving him.

Neo fought many enemies, from professional Huntsmen to deadly Grimm, and yet she can't seem to land a signal hit on the guy! She thought that he was just some push over, but now the Huntress is wondering who she's up against.

"Ok now I'm really jealous, I wish I could do that when I fought her." said Yang. Neo just stuck her tongue out at that.

The young teen evaded a horizontal slash, giving his assailant a good opportunity to land a kick to his stomach. Her foot was already in midair and, yet she still hit nothing, causing her to be even more surprised at how fast this guy's reaction was.

"You know, I never really encountered someone so quiet. They usually curse at me or tell me to shut up. It's really nice to finally fight someone that's ok with me talking." He said while dodging more kicks from his opponent.

Yang couldn't help but snicker at that while Neo just rolled her eyes with a grin.

"She's mute you know." deadpanned Weiss.

"I think that's the joke Ice-queen." said Coco. Weiss realising that blushed and just tried to play it off.

She was about make another attempt to attack him but soon stopped. Spider-Man looked surprised when she smiled at him and waved her finger at him as a sign for him to attack her instead.

"Oh! Is it my turn now? Well, if you insist." Spider-Man ran straight towards her and attempted to tackle her. As soon as he wrapped his arms around her she immediately shattered into little pieces, causing the hero to land flat on the ground.

'Ok, I'm pretty sure she wasn't that fragile. So, what the heck just happened?'

"Ugh your semblance is so annoying." groaned Ruby.

"Well then it does its job Red." said Roman while Neo stuck out her tongue. Ruby just crossed her arms and grumbled at that.

Spider-Man was already back on his feet when he felt his spider sense warn him that danger was nearby making his body automatically dodge a surprise attack from the side.

"Ok, you're gonna be a real handful if your gonna keep doing that." Neo only stuck her tongue out and waved a hand as if saying that this was good bye.

"Um, hello?" Spider-Man waved back at her in confusion. "Nice meeting you and all but why are waving at me? You didn't even hurt me."

'And why does my spider sense keep telling me I'm still in danger!?'

"It's because she was distracting you, bug!" Turning around the web slinger spotted Roman free from his bonds and pointing his cane at his car with some of the stolen dust poured over it.

"Oh no!" shouted Pyrrha. Jaune's friends and family were all scared. Neo was also worried, she knew this Jaune was their enemy but it was still Jaune so she couldn't help it.

"Oh boy." Spider-man said before Roman fired his weapon.

Roman's cane launched a red flare at the car, igniting the dust and causing the car to explode with Spider-Man getting caught in the flames and shrapnel. After the smoke settled the two criminals saw no sight of the hero, causing them to assume he got incinerated from the blast. Roman let out a laugh in victory.

"Ha! Wished I saw the face he was making behind that mask." Roman said while looking at the damage caused by the explosion leave many stores ruined. "Then again, we've already taken care of our little bug problem. It's back to business as usual."

"I know he's alright, he's got to be right?" asked Ruby.

"I don't know but I hope your right sis." sais Yang.

"He is, I just know it." said a hopeful Pyrrha.

Neo nodded in agreement and pointed her finger at their henchmen.

"Of course, we'll need to set them free! Who else is going to carry all of the dust?" Roman was going to say more when they heard police sirens closing in on their location. "Let's get grab as much as we can and leave, we'll get more next time."

"Well guess it's time to cut and run." said Roman.

"So your just gonna leave your allies?" asked Penny.

"Well either I get away or we all get caught, so I pick the one that I don't get locked up." shrugged Roman.

'Hopefully there'll be no more surprises from here on out.'

Roman pulled out a bent cigar from his pocket and used his cane to light it. He took a slow drag before exhaling a large puff of smoke. With Neo freeing his goons and stealing the remainder of the dust before the cops arrived Roman can only sigh in relief knowing that all is right in the world.

'Goodbye, hero.'

Pain. That was what Spider-man was feeling when he woke up to see he was inside a destroyed building. He never felt this much pain before in his life and, yet he had no choice but to get up once he heard the approaching sirens.

"He's alive!" cheered Ruby.

Salem let out a breath she didn't know she held. She was honestly worried for her 'grandchild'.

"Jeez how durable is this guy? I'm pretty sure he doesn't have aura here so he has to be pretty tough." said Mercury.

"Yeah I mean the cut he got on his face would have healed by now or maybe not even happen if he had aura." pointed out Emerald. This made a lot of people surprised that this Jaune could survive something like that without aura.

"Now that's just not fair." grumbled Roman. He was glad the kid didn't have these powers in his world otherwise things would be even more difficult.

He could take punches no problem, even when they used blunt objects like plywood or steel pipes. But this was the first time he'd gotten caught in an explosion. He was thankful that he was durable enough to survive it.

'I need to get up before they get away!'

"A little late for that kid." said Qrow.

"Well he doesn't know that so of course he would think that." said Tai.

Getting back on his feet the injured hero fought his fatigue and ran outside to see that the criminals he caught were free, the dust shop completely empty, and their boss long gone with no trace what so ever.

'I need to get back home before the police catch me.'

"Probably a good idea dude." said Neptune.

Lifting his hand up to web swing out of the crime scene, he stopped once he remembered he left a camera attached to a corner store. He made a quick stop to retrieve the pictures.

"Oh, come on." Jaune said while picking up his broken camera from the debris.

'The explosion must have been bigger than I thought. Hopefully I can still salvage the film.'

"If he can't then no pay day for him." said Yang.

"I hope he'll still be able to help Mrs. Parker even if he can't." said Velvet.

"I'm sure it will be fine Ms. Scarlatina." assured Goodwitch.

With his camera retrieved he web swinged back home, making sure to not to disturb Aunt May from his painful moaning, and silently walked to his bathroom mirror to see how much damage he took.

'Holy crap I'm a mess.'

The reflection showed his face mask completely ruined with only half of it still on his head. The remainder of his costume showing huge rips and tears with his wounds dyeing his costume with his blood.

A few people cringed at the state Jaune was in and were more worried about him then the suit. Even Coco was more focused on Jaune then his outfit right now, she knows when to joke around and when to get serious.

"That's a lot of blood." said Cici who was doing everything not to barf at the site.

"Oh don't be such a baby." Said Cindy not wanting to lose her lunch.

'Need to get this thing fixed, but I'm too tired to take it off.'

Dragging his feet to his bed Jaune used the rest of his energy to remove his torn mask and lifted his bed sheets to cover his battered body before sleep finally took hold of him. He'd never dealt with a situation as grave as this, but he knew that if they were willing to face him head on shows that there's more to it than just simple dust thefts.

It also means if their boss had to come out of his hide out to stop him that someone even more powerful is pulling the strings in the shadows, and they wanted to eliminate him before he gets to close.

'I'll look in to it... after... a goodnight... rest.'

As the screen went black Wolf then appeared in front of everyone.

"So what did you guys think?" asked the god.

"Well I thought the fighting parts were pretty awesome but I kinda got worried there at the end." said Yang. A few agreed with her on that one.

"Yeah but in the parts he did fight he was amazing." said Ruby.

"I don't know sis, I think he was more spectacular." added Yang.

"No way he was the ultimate hero." said Sun.

"2099!" shouted Nora.

"Wait what?" asked Weiss.

"Noire!" again shouted Nora. Ten just shrugged when everyone turned to him hoping he could shed some light on what his girlfriend was going on about.

Meanwhile Wolf was was surprised at that., 'How the heck did she…' "Well anyway we're gonna take a little break for a bit but then were actually gonna do more of this universe." said Wolf. This surprised everyone since they never did the same universe for more than one viewing before.

"Awesome!" shouted Ruby.

"I'm with sis, this is gonna be good." said Yang.

"I guess I don't mind." said Blake. Truth be told she actually kind of liked this universe but wouldn't say that out loud since Yang would tease her for like a world that's like a comic book.

"Well alright enjoy the break and then I'll call you back." said Wolf.
