Along Came a Spider

6

[Tokyo: Tokyo General]

See what had happened was…

Miles arrived at Rumi's room, she was still in her hospital gown sitting on her bed. She spots him but her face revealed that she was upset and it was directed directly at him. "Rumi?"

"I saw you lift a car like it was a tinker toy," Miles looked at her visibly confused. "And before I faded to black the first time, turn said car into BOXING GLOVES!" Miles was about to say something, "Shut up!" Her voice was shaking, what did he do wrong? "Then I see the news this morning." She was now shaking violently, "Why?" She looked at him, "With all your talent and strength," she clenched both his fists, "did you agree to take him as a PARTNER?" Miles stays quiet a moment gathering his thoughts. "Why, why in the hell would you do something, with all your skill, might, and talent, so weak?"

"Excuse me?" Miles took moment in shock at her words.

"Heroes that take partners or join teams are cowards." Miles' eyes narrowed at her words, " As they could just be relying on their teammates' strength rather than their own." She looked at him like he shattered her world. "I thought you were different Miles."

"You being serious right now?" Miles was not having this, "Do you even hear yourself right now Rumi?" She stared at him with defiant eyes. "Cowards? For relying on allies to face a common goal?"

"If you need others to defeat an enemy-" Miles silenced her.

"How how about a group of enemies, ones that you cannot even begin to even fathom their celestial power." Miles was steaming, "No, because you run and hide over an enemy that can take away your precious little quirks." Rumi's eyes went wide, how can he know about, "All for One? Bitch, do you not know I have to face literal gods that wanted nothing to do but use us merger humans as toys and then kill us because it amused him?" Rumi was silenced by Miles' conviction, "And I am a coward for banding together and joining a team to face such odds?" Miles got in real close to his girlfriend, "Then I wear such a word with pride, but the only 'coward' I see, " He face now face to face with her his eyes ablaze with burning righteous fury, "is the girl before me, who is only in this hero business for kicks." She went to slap him only for him to web her hand on the wall, followed by her other, "Different? Yeah, you have no idea, a chain is only as strong as how many links it is attached to. No single link can pull it all."

Miles turned around, he could not believe the stupidity that came from the girl he cared about's mouth. "As for my partner?" He looked over his shoulder, "He is the reason you even got here in time, not to mention the others I saw in the background tending to the citizens." He took a breath as he made it to the door, "Without whom I could not have focused on that fucking creature that I SAVED you FROM!" His hand was on the metal door which bent from his grip, "That one-shotted your-" He held his tongue his message received as he closed the door.

Miles stopped by the restroom changed into his uniform and exited Tokyo General. "Bitch got me fucked all the way up!" He took to the skies swinging through the city, trying to clear his mind at Rumi's sheer stupidity. He was already trying to process what All Might told him on the beach. Like hell, if he was going to also deal with her bullshit. It was then his mobile went off, it was his new partner, so answered it. "How's Muriko?"

"Acting like a complete idiot." Spider-Man smarted off.

Endeavor took a breath, "Take it she expressed her distaste on agencies, teams, or partners?"

"She called me a coward." Spider-Man voice was like a steel trap going off.

"Ouch," even Endeavor felt that one.

"If it means rallying with heroes sharing a common goal to save others?" Miles paused, "Then it's a badge of honor." Endeavor gave an approving grunt, he had chosen well.

Endeavor took a breath, "Head to my office, it's here."

"That was quick." Spider-Man landed on the side of the wall of a building in a sprint as he changed direction towards Endeavor Agency.

"I told you my words carry weight, see you in a few." Endeavor then clicked off. Spider-Man leapt off the building rolling vertically before spreading out and firing another web as he leaned into his swing.

The cool air struck his body as he shot out another web as he activated his electric venom blast boosting his speed. He released the web as he did a backflip and brought his arms and legs in. His webs filled in between the spaces of his arms and legs as he then spread them in a wingsuit. Soon he was gliding through the air covering vast distances and city blocks. A news chopper spots him shooting past them, "Supaidāman! It's Supaidāman!" The reporter pointed at him, as the cameraman started recording him even the pilot changed his course.

Spider-Man then spins around facing them waving and firing off another web-shifting direction. Losing the news copter Spider-Man released his web gliding in between buildings as Endeavor Agency came into the view. With a web-zip, he increased his gliding speed, another venom burst he landed on the side of the agency. From inside he saw the leader of Endeavor's sidekicks, she stared back at him her hair set ablaze. She then looked back at those under her command issuing orders to pursue and capture.

Burnin' looked back at the object of her complete ire, his white lens shuttered in a friendly wink. She shot a blast at him, the window was fireproof as the flames spread out on impact. When they faded Spider-Man was laughing at her as she shook with utter rage. He lifted his mask partially and blew her a kiss, she screamed as he pulled down his mask and ran up the building, but not before noticing her blushing cheeks.

Spider-Man knew it was a race against time as he sprinted up the building firing webs and launching himself higher and higher up the building. Windows opened as sidekicks that could fly shot out. Using his Spider-Sense he engaged them without fear. He used one to propel himself up via a web then shot another with his other hand anchoring himself to the building. "Web Swing!" He launched the flyer into a window then cocooned him in place. He felt a buzz as he backflips in a dodge moving a full length down as he rolled to his back facing his attacker. A female was in a black jumpsuit her legs emitting gravity beams.

She nailed him once forcing him in place, "Just like Killer Shrike." Spider-Man saw the building cracking underneath him, "Good that should be small enough." He pulled out a piece of concrete that was angular and sharp at both ends. He then launched it through the steady stream, it acted like a spear piercing through the beam hitting her dead in between the eyes. The concrete projectile had slowed enough down due to friction and shattered on impact launching her head back. Concentration broke he fired his natural secondary Energy-Thread Generation Web at her taking her out upon impact. He then pulled her in and attached her next to her comrade.

The others were taken out easily and now littered the side of the agency building as he continued his way to the roof. With a single slingshot, he shot past Endeavor's office only to be wrapped in flames! "ENDEAVOR!" he then noticed the color of the flames, "Green, well…" His uniform was flame-resistant so he was fine all the way till Burnin' slammed him down of the roof's ground.

"I can capture too bug." The flaming hair sidekick spat out.

"Arachnid you troglodyte!" Miles spat back, Burnin' had no idea what a troglodyte was but it pissed her off! She then dragged him upturning pieces of the roof with her target. Spider-Man planted his feet breaking the hold as the green flames dissipated. He was now freed, he looked at Endeavor who was- working the massive grill? With a slight smirk, he looked at Spider-Man over his shoulder. "Really partner?" He raised a pair of tongs in response, "You really gonna do me like that?" He lifted up a large porterhouse wagyu beef steak causing Miles' mouth to water.

"She still pissed, hurry up and defeat her because our steaks are almost done."

"Hehe, you son of a bitch, medium be done in a sec."

"Times wasting I do not wish to ruin this beautiful steak."

Properly motivated Spider-Man dashed towards and over Burnin' with lightning speed as he sealed the elevator doors to his office. "Now where were we beautiful?" His words distract her as he launched impact webbing at her knocking her down. She popped up launching balls of her hair at him as she was steady screaming obscenities with each volley. "Easy, save some of that bedroom talk for later babe." His words were only pissing her off further as Endeavor said his steak was quickly getting past rare.

Spider-Man disappeared from her sight, Endeavor gave a raised eyebrow then returned to cooking. Burnin's eyes went wild as she concentrated as her hair danced chaotically. Before she could scream Miles appeared with his mask off and took her in his arms then enveloped her mouth in a kiss. Her actions ceased as he bit her tongue injecting a paralyzing venom from his fangs. He broke the kiss, "Huh, you do have some skill, babe." He then flicked her forehead with a weak venom blast knocking her on her ass.

"She's probably gonna file sexual harassment on you." Endeavor shrugged Miles then cringed, "Oh my god you like her!" Endeavor let out a belly laugh as he served Miles his perfectly cooked wagyu porterhouse. "Like hell, if I was gonna ruin this steak, things cost me a small fortune." Miles noticed the third steak on a plate untouched ready to be cooked, "She likes it the same way as you by the way."

"Well if she files I'll be fired anyway so I am gonna enjoy this meal," Miles then picked up a beer, Endeavor knew he was underage, by a year, but underage nonetheless. He took a breath grabbing one as well, screw it, he'd let it slide. "You just broke the law."

"If you are old enough to be a hero and face hordes of villains in the name of peace, fuck not being allowed to drink a beer." Endeavor clings bottles with his new partner as they sat down at a wrought iron table, "So what did you do to her, you know, besides make out with her."

"Injected her with the venom from my fangs." Miles pushed his upper lip up and extended a fang.

Endeavor then furled his brows at the explanation, "So you are a vampire along with the powers of a spider?"

"I'm not a vampire, spiders do have fangs you know," Miles replied as both of them shared a chuckle. Miles took a bit of his steak and began to cry. "This is the most beautiful thing I have ever tasted." Endeavor gave an approving smirk, "I never had wagyu before, it's everything I heard about and more." Miles was in utter tears of ecstasy as Endeavor gave him a concerned look and placed his hand on his shoulder. "It's sooo delicious, thank you, Dios te bendgia, God bless you Mr. Sr. Enji Todoroki, I dub thee The Patron Saint of Steaks, I will burn a candle annually on this very day in honor of you." Miles then hugged the head of the shaking flame hero, who simply patted his back in mild amusement.

Endeavor then released the emotional Miles Morales as he spotted Burnin' stirring to life. "Well moment of truth," Endeavor pointed out to Miles. Burnin' got up and stomped over to them, "Well Miles," Endeavor shook his head. She stared at the now composed Miles her hair was flaring.

"Ah shit." Miles dropped his head, her eyes behind her black half-mask gave a psychotic glare. "Look, I am-" She grabbed him with her hair and pulled him to herself then kissed him like he did her as her hair engulfed them both in comforting warmth.

"Well shit." Endeavor said with a raised brow, "You really weren't kidding huh Kamiji." She broke off her kiss with Miles who looked at his partner.

Miles' eyes widened as he pointed at him, "You son of a bitch you lied to me."

"No, he didn't I was still pissed at you." Burnin' corrected him, "You just-" She turned away from him. "Left, the boss came to, explained what happened, and well."

Miles crossed his arms,"Well what?"

"IT TURNED ME ON YOU ASSHOLE!" She then grabbed him kissing him again, she broke it, "You one-shotted the boss like he wasn't shit!" Endeavor gave a low growl, "Come on, boss besides the blonde idiot who the hell could even do that!" She then wrapped Miles in her arms, Endeavor just shook his head, "Exactly, then I overheard your conversation about her." Miles looked away as she pulled his face back to hers, "You are far from a coward." Miles then noticed her eyes change, they were softer, "She's an idiot, I am not."

"What about the people you ordered." She rolled her eyes at him, "Well?"

She gave a pout, "I wanted to see you fight again." Now Miles rolled his eyes, "Your fight with the Nomu," she blushed.

"Oh my god!" Battle turns her on, Jesus.

"I'm not a freak, it's only you and this fucking quirk doesn't help either when it takes what I already feel and amps it up." She cursed causing Miles to laugh, "Were you serious earlier?" She suddenly felt shy until Miles grabbed her by the waist pulling her in and touching her chin.

"I thought you were cute from the start," Her eyes sparkled at his words, "It was just at the time- you were attacking me, and not in a good way." Her eyes went narrow with desire as Miles winked at her. "Soo-"

"YES!" Miles pulled her in and kissed her, "bite my tongue again." So Miles obliged her sending a harmless shock into her. She shuttered in response kissing him more aggressively.

"Hey Kamiji, the steak's ready." She then broke her kiss, grabbed her plate, and took her steak. "I got hero shit to do, Miles your license is on my desk." Miles smiled at his partner, this was all a part of his plan. "Lock up wait you crawl on walls, just enjoy yourselves."

This was strange even for his long-term sidekick to understand. In truth, Endeavor knew their profession all too well. Though he had many skeletons in his closet, many of which involved his very own family and his not so heroic- 'actions'. He had seen the best and worse it could offer in his over 40 years as a hero, 30 of those as a pro and Japan's # 2 Hero. On the outside, he was cold, menacing, stoic in nature to those he employed as interns, granted those were all very true aspects of him even in private. However, the bottle of very expensive brandy in a locked hidden compartment under his desk revealed a different story.

[Flashback: Ten years ago… just outside Osaka, Japan]

They had reached the sixth hour of their epic battle, Endeavor lay beaten and broken on the ground as he watch the man who he saw as nothing but a fool take on the monster that did this to him. All for One was the monster's name, All Might had been Japan's #1 hero for just over two years at this point. He personally called Endeavor literally begging for his assistance on this, well call it as it was, slaughter. Endeavor just took it as a way to show up the hero, who he viewed as nothing more than a foolish child playing hero. The thought that this, this, BAKA, was now number one and not him? Yeah, he was going to take this villain down and strip off that fucking smile from that idiot's gaijin-looking face.

Oh. How. Wrong. He. Was.

All for One did not even see him as worthy enough for him to steal his quirk, much less anything close to being a hero or remotely human. He broke his legs first with an intern he brought with him. He watched as All for One activated a strength quirk ringing the 18-year-old out like he was a sponge as blood and viscera burst from the kid who called himself Powerstorm's body. Ironically, he stole the boy's quirk first and used it as his demise then soon erased it from existence via another quirk he had within him.

Next went his right arm shattered with another intern going by Kido, he was 16 years old a prodigy, tall, light skin, full set of green hair with silver eyes, at the time. All for One burned all of that off when he temporarily took Burnin's quirk engulfing him in a flaming cocoon. He tossed Kido aside after using him as a bat breaking him further. Burnin', 15, a first-year from the Honors Class at UA, now called Class 1-A, was beside him her head split wide open and bleeding out. He forced Endeavor to watch as he did more than wreck his shit, but deconstructed his world brick, by broken intern brick. All for One smiled like a demon as he touched Burnin' returning her quirk, she was gonna die anyway. To him, it was useless, just another weak fire quirk.

To say Japan's # 2 was vastly outmatched was the understatement of the fucking century. Endeavor could not even weep for the one intern he lost as All for One then beat him with his bare hands for almost 2 hours before All Might arrived. No smile, or trademark catchphrase, no berating of the # 2's complete and utter failure, he just did what a hero was supposed to do. It took everything within Endeavor to stay conscious as he bore witness to All for One's undoing.

At the top of the seventh hour, All for One landed the blow that would change All Might's fate- for the worse. "Villain, you will not leave here," All Might said his mouth leaking his own blood, his lungs exposed from the gore that was his fatal wound. His stomach was burnt and shrived, his intestines threatening to fall out on the ground as Japan's # 1 hero made his final stand. "I will be your final opponent, and this battleground-" He took a step forward, his quirk burning a silver aura enveloping his entire body. "YOUR GRAVE!" All for One's purple eyes widen as All Might dash forward disappearing into a silver beam of light and zig-zagging across the sky and the ground building up for something- something big. All the quirks All for One had stolen seemed to vaporize into the glorious light.

"I AM HERE!" All Might called out as Endeavor's mouth was left agape as he could not form words much less a sound. "UNITED STATES!" All Might cried out as his fist collided with his enemy's face, "OF SMASH!" All for One's face exploded as All Might dug his fist deeper, past his neck exploding the monster's lungs, heart. rib cage, and spine! He planted All for One into the ground which gave way in an immense crater as the topography of the area leveled around the great depression effectively ending the conflict.

Breathing heavily, Endeavor saw All Might raised his right fist high stained with the blood of All for One. His eyes then welled up with tears as All Might was now a shell of what he once was. He was emaciated, his all his muscle mass gone, save his right arm and fist. "I am here," All Might called out to no one as he then turned to channel what was left of what he once was into the rest of his body. "I" All Might pulled himself out of the depression, "am" He picked up Kido pulling him onto his shoulder his legs wanting to give, "here." The tears flowed from Endeavor's eyes as he called out to him wordlessly as he then picked up Burnin' "You are both alive, thank God, there is still a chance." All Might was crying as he made his way to Endeavor collapsing to his knees as he gently placed their bodies down as his tears continued to flow.

All Might then fell forward as Endeavor caught him with his left arm, "To save one more." Were his last words before All Might slipped into unconsciousness. The next year and a half Endeavor was there as he saw surgery after surgery being done to those entrusted to him, to learn from him. Burnin' had brain damage but was slated to make a hero-ready recovery with minor memory loss and slight personality change. Kido- Endeavor was on the verge of falling off into an abyss, Kido would remain in cool bandages for the rest of his natural life. Sunlight was now fatal to him, nerves, sweat glands, natural oil ducts were gone. He held Kido's hand, he had no one, no family, nobody he was alone, as the doctor gave him the news. He remained strong for him, but Endeavor was falling apart on the inside, how could he call himself a hero? Even now, the title of # 2 of Japan felt like a fallacy. That's when the drinking started and his quest for the perfect quirk balance.

[Endeavor Agency: Present, ground level.]

Endeavor exited the elevator that came down from his penthouse office when he saw her. "Muriko," Her ears perked up at the sound of her hero name. She looked at him, her crimson eyes stern and focused.

"Endeavor," she replied her voice even but with an air of unease.

"Miles is not here," he said his voice sharing the same tone.

"His scent says differently, thank you by the way for-" Her voice struggled at the end.

"It's what we do, but I do appreciate it, especially from one such as yourself Muriko." Endeavor voice never changed, "As for his scent, well I just gave him his hero license and he sort of, how to describe it, swung off my courtyard roof." Muriko then sniffed the air again.

Her eyes flashed, "Female, 169 cm-5'6.5, some type of fire quirk, cranial injury, the scent just as fresh," Her eyes narrowed, "Your second, well a commander now, how is Burnin'? "

'SHIT forgot about her heightened senses, Miles, run.' Before he knew it she spotted the minute {my-Noot} twitch in his eye. 'F-F-F-FUCK!' In an instant, she charged leaping upon him taking his ID and his fingerprint, and entered the elevator. He turned just in time to see the elevator doors close and her giving an evil grin as she swung the lanyard holding his ID around her dainty finger. He reached for his mobile but it was gone, "FUCK!" He roared quickly exiting his building and launching himself into the air. "FUUUUUCCCKKKK!"

Rumi knew what she smelled, "This is too slow." She wall jumped then up through the vent and landed on the roof of the elevator. She took a quick breath leaping onto the side of a wall then rapidly repeating the process till she got to her destination. "To think my Miles can just…" Her eyes then went cold, "Those scents were intertwined." Her speed increased as she reached the top just as Endeavor landed on the courtyard roof.

Endeavor saw Burnin' and his partner deep in each other's embrace, "MILES GET FUCK OUTTA HERE NOW!" It was too late as Endeavor slowly turned his head and body as the elevator doors were pried open. Miles Spider-Sense was going haywire, he broke the kiss to see her.

"Oh fuck me sideways." Miles saw her, she was beyond words, beyond any emotions but one, wrath.

"One argument," Rumi said her voice dark, "that's all it took?" She was shooting daggers at him.

Miles shook his head snapping out of whatever was bewitching him then locked eyes on her, "You insult my entire ideology, my beliefs, then call me a coward for my choices and decisions." Miles was not taking this, "Did you even thank my partner for saving your arrogant ass?" Endeavor gave a cough getting his attention.

"Yeah, she did actually." Miles tilted his head raising his eyebrow, "I think THAT was why she came here."

"Oh, great, wonderful, so let's all just sit down with some nice tea and scones-" His rant was broken by Muriko screaming then charging at him and Burnin', "Coño.* {Fuck}." The meaning of this version of the expletive had a different meaning as Miles whispered it to himself. Muriko slugged him across his jaw sending him tumbling across the roof til he recovered with a flip and a slide.

"YOU CHEATING BASTARD!" Muriko yelled as she hit him with a Luna Arc coming down on his crossed arms in a block.

"I thought I made myself clear when I left," Miles said through gritted teeth, Muriko may have been the finest woman he ever laid his eyes on, but it matter not. It was not the fact that she insulted him, no that was not the case. It was the fact that she insulted every single one of his allies that he shed blood, sweat, and tears with, that he broke bread with. "Coward," Miles said it like a curse, he might have not agreed with everything Tony or hell even Steve Rogers stood for, but that was irrelevant.

They were more than just heroes he fought alongside, The Avengers were a family, one that he took great pride in being a part of. "What right do you even have?" He grabbed her follow-up kick pulling her leg knocking her equilibrium off, then slammed her to the ground. "COWARDS?" He then webbed her up in a tight cocoon, "No." He snarled at her as he ripped her up off the ground in a sprint as he shot off another massive web blocking off the entrance back into Endeavor's Office. He then launched the # 5 hero attaching her to it as his eyes glowed a fiery red at the pupils.

Rumi was struggling to break free she was trapped and like a rabbit, was scared out of her mind. "I bleed and fought by my team's side, putting on it all on the line," Miles then crawled up the web putting on his mask and narrowing the lenses as six more popped up making him look even more like the predatory arachnid he was. "EVERYTHING! And not for some cheap thrill or adrenaline rush," Rumi began to lose color, "ACTUAL LIVES AND THE FATE OF FUCKING WORLDS WERE ON THE LINE!" Her ears were now down and she was completely terrified. "AND YOU INSULT THEIR SACRIFICE BY LABELING THEM COWARDS!" he was fast approaching her as fear overtook her as she saw his body and face morph into a monstrous funnel-web spider.

"I'M SORRY!" She finally cried out, "I'm sorry," she was now really crying, she had never felt so completely helpless, terrified, Miles had overdone it hammering his point home. You could say anything and everything under the sun outside Miles' name or hero identity, but insult the people who gave their all, the best they could, going above and beyond the hero's call. He would not stand for such insolence or nonsense. Miles cut her down as she fell in a shaking heap before him, "I'm so incredibly sorry Miles." she said it repeatedly as she shook her head.

Miles' anger was slowly fading as he helped her to her feet. His Spider-sense flared up but took a slap to his face, then another, another, he let her hit him. She knew it, adding more insult to injury, as tears flowed out of her eyes, "I was coming here to apologize for insulting you." Miles closed his eyes in pain, but not from her slaps, "I realized I had spoken without thinking to someone I-" Rumi then touched her necklace, "Then I see Endeavor with your scent mixed with hers," she pointed at Burnin' as Miles tightened his shut eyes as more pain hit him. "Then I see you in her arms, her lips to yours." As smart as he was, his zealousness clouded his mind, the thought never crossed his mind to talk it out. "What was I to you?" She pulled her necklace off tossing it to the ground and smashing the ruby spider. "Nothing." She then ran of the roof in a leap of faith. The three people left ran to the edge watching her skillfully time her leaps safely making it to ground level.

Miles turned and sat down one leg up the other straight out. "I fucked up bad."

"Miles," Endeavor spoke as his partner looked up at him, "for as long as I have known Muriko, I have never seen her do this." That pained him to his core, "Her pride rivals that of my own, she would never admit what she told you and seek your, much less anyone's forgiveness." Miles leaned back screaming into his hands.

"We all misjudged her." Burnin' fell in beside Miles and cautiously put her arm around him. Miles gave in to her, she gave a small smile and gave him a small kiss on his head. He looked up at her, "We all fall, sweetie." She still wanted him as shameless as it was. "You do need to apologize to her though before you get any more of this."

[Unknown Location: Japan]

Shivers in the dark…

A doctor reports his findings to a man in a chair attached to several tubes providing him with various life-saving functions. This was what remained of All for One from his battle with All Might ten years ago to the day. "The specimen you brought has revealed interesting 'gifts'," The doctor said with a wheezing glee.

"Report doctor," All for One had no time for the doctor's mad ravings.

"He's altered his own DNA, enhanced human attributes, rigor mortis refuses to set along with an unknown energy residue surrounding the body," All for One gave a sigh signaling him to sum it up. "His skin is armored but pliable, harder than your diamond plated quirk, temporary reanimation reveals pyrokinesis rivaling, no, superior to that of Dabi's."

"So I will take his quirks." One for All said unamused

"They are not quirks sir, these are added to his DNA, despite his looks he's not human." One for All turns his head to the doctor, "All is not lost, we have the makings of our most powerful Nomu yet master." All for One returned to his previous position. In front of him were several monitors with one person on them, Japan's newest hero.

All for One took a breath. "Supaidāman."

[Musutafu: Takoba Municipal Beach]

UA Entrance Exams were tomorrow, Miles had not seen head or hair of Muriko for the past 90 days. He was brought out of his thoughts to the sound of a roar. Why didn't his Spider-Sense go off? He then saw why as a smile of pride made its way up to his lips. He did it! Izuku had cleared the coastal landfill and was now atop a fridge on a truck Mei's parents lent her to salvage parts. He web zipped to Izuku landing on the truck's hood and join him in his triumphant roar to the heavens. Mei was clueless as to why Izuku did this but it seemed fun so she joined in, turned out it was fun!

"Yeah Izuku, you damn right amigo!" Miles was so proud, "Tell the heavens who you are!"

A neighbor burst through their window," HEY SHUT THE HELL I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

"KISS OUR BLACK ASS!" Miles then fired impact web sealing the window and making it soundproof ironically. Izuku then leapt into his sensei's arms, "You got this kid."

"Thank you sensei, thank you for believing in me," Izuku cried in Miles' arms as Mei joined them. Miles gave them both a bear hug, he felt like a proud parent. Breaking the hug Mei went back in her truck and pulled out one of her newest babies. Miles' eyes went wide as she pulled out a familiar device, it was an octagram with a red spider in the middle. She then handed it to Izuku as she directed him to place it on his chest.

A month before Miles came across a schematic locked away deep within his A.I. Since he was no longer in his universe anymore, he had Mei take a look. She cracked it in 7 minutes. His mentor's visage came up sending him to his knees and tears to fall from his eyes, "Miles, I am so proud of you." Mei looked at her friend who was crying, she did not understand why, so she did the only thing she could think of and held him tightly. Miles touched her shoulder signaling to her that it was the right call and tightening her grip. "Tony was building this for us," Miles clenched his teeth as painful tears flowed from his eyes. "As cool as it is, I am getting up in years."

"No you're not Pete," Miles said absently.

"I can already hear you Miles, but I am, but that does not mean my mind is!" The schematics popped, "Give you Spider-Armor IV: Prodigy." The VI Peter then went into great detail about the capabilities of the suit:

Enhanced Durability and Wall Crawling: The suit was to be able to withstand a direct impact from a grenade launcher without any obvious harm coming to the wearer. It is also fully capable of deflecting multiple bullets. It is also capable of crawling on the walls without spider powers.

Built-in Web-Shooters: This suit comes with built-in web-shooters that fire webbing from the forearm instead of the wrist.

Magnetic Webbing: The suit is equipped with magnetic webbing which blocks out all radio frequencies, or at least severely interferes with them.

Customized Helmet:

Hearing Acuity Device: The audio in the helmet is keyed to hone in on any foe's specific heartbeat in order to easily detect if they are indeed any enemy in disguise. Peter claimed that this feature is based on Daredevil's special hearing abilities.

Comm-Link: A special comm-link built into the helmet that allows the wearer to communicate with his fellow heroes as well as others.

Cyber-Control Helmet: Based on Doctor Octopus' original helmet, which was used to grant Doctor Octopus the technopathy required to control every machine in the city of New York.

Enhanced Lenses: The helmet contains a large area of holographic lensing to allow for long eye-relief and panoramic real-world/-time viewing. Includes several optical spectrum modes with synthesized information overlay.

Electro-Proof: The suit is capable of repelling electro-based foes and changing them from their electrical state/mode back to their human state.

Built-in-Utility Belt: This suit also comes with a utility belt that contains cartridges of different types of webbing, spider-tracers, etc.

Waldoes: Carrying over from The Iron Spider Armor, four mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes," created from rapidly grown mono-atomic iron alloy crystal. These could be used to see around corners (via cameras in the tips) and to manipulate objects indirectly. When in the stowed position, the arms remain within a gold "circle" on the wearer's back. These arms are rapidly grown at the rate of 90 inches per second, hollow construction allows for all material to be stored within the small back-mounted pack, and the command for growth is achieved via fast neural net-detection and amplification. The waldoes even have small grippers at the tips working as pseudo fingers.

"I always loved the spidey arms, so there you go, oh don't tell Tony but I kinda borrowed the schematics for his latest arc reactor, so shhhh! " With that Peter blipped out leaving the suit and arc reactor schematics. He then looked at Mei.

"Will you honor my mentor?" Mei's eyes then widen as she finally got it. Her eyes then filled with tears as she nodded a very enthusiastic yes squeezing her tears away, "Here." He then handed her a black metal card. "Get the materials and equipment you need, if you need clearance for anything you have my number." He just gave her an unlimited shopping spree to fund all the new babies she wanted. He then downloaded the plans on a thumb drive and handed to her.

Now Miles saw the fruits of his investment as Izuku was now wearing form-fitting armor that was black with red trim with the glowing red spider arc reactor pulsating bright silver webs throughout the suit. Izuku could feel the power, "Sensei am I like you now?"

Miles shook his head as he put on his mask, "Better my protegé." Izuku leapt into the air in a cheer and landed like his sensei. "That's Spider-Armor IV: Prodigy."

"Prodigy," Izuku pulled his helm back with a thought revealing a smirk. "That will be my hero name sensei." He looked to Mei who was simply shaking with complete enthusiasm she was already planning new improvements.

"Supaidāman did I make your mentor proud?" Izuku and Miles looked at her then Izuku returned his gaze back to his sensei.

Miles gave a dry swallow as he closed his eyes as tears dropped to the ground, "Exceeded projections." Miles said in a way that only Mei could understand causing her to cry.

"It was an honor to make your mentor's baby," Mei was overrun with emotions, "I want to make a prettier baby." Miles smiled nodding his head saying Peter would want that. "LET'S SHOW UA WHO WE ARE!"

[Musutafu: UA Entrance Exam]

It was a family affair, Miles had met Izuku's mother who fainted upon their first encounter. Her son was serious, he knew The Supaidāman! AND HE WAS TRAINING HER BOY TO BE A HERO! Then there was Mr. and Mrs. Hatsume they thought she had accidentally attacked him. He put their fears to rest as he told them was interested in the little girl's inventions. He wanted to invest in her talents and their company. He soon infused their repair shop with brand new capital, he wanted to keep his money making money. He ended up as their silent partner upgrading their bread and butter via new tools and equipment. The Hatsumes were now above water and already bringing in returns. He watched his protegés from atop a building, Izuku and Mei saw him watching them like a guardian angel as he waved back.

"So those are the ones you been training."Miles smiled as he responded to his partner.

"Yeah, he's gonna rewrite history and she is going to make the pen." He pointed out to them then gave them both a thumbs up. He then turned to face his partner along with All Might. "What's up?"

"Spider-Man we need your skills." All Might said proudly, he could hear Izuku and Mei shouting at all three of them. Soon everyone froze as they saw All Might and Endeavor standing with Spider-Man. "They are cheering."

"Yeah at both of you." Miles brushed it off but then heard his name.

"Supai-dā-man, Supai-dā-man!" Their words got louder, "Supai-dā-man, Supai-dā-man!"

"No that's for you." Endeavor and All Might both said and placed their hands on each of Spider-Man's shoulders then raised their arms up endorsing him as a true hero sending the crowd rabid!

"Supai-dā-man, Supai-dā-man!" The crowd cheered as Japan's #1 and #2 heroes gesture him to go. Without another word Spider-Man shot out a web-swinging towards them, he released it in a flip and then glided in landing atop the UA Entrance Gate's Archway. "Supai-dā-man, Supai-dā-man!" they continued to chant as camera phones went off as he waved. "Say something Supaidāman!"

To say Miles was moved was an understatement, "Today you take the first step towards your dreams!" Spider-Man began, "Be it general studies, learning a trade or business, remember, " he heard the cheers of one part of the crowd, "or learning to aid your fellow heroes in the Support Department, be they heroes like the EMS or police to Heroes like All Might and Endeavor, remember, " the crowd of was eating out of his hand, "to finally the Hero Course fighting for the safety of your fellow citizens, to save just one more! REMEMBER!" The crowd was roaring at his speech, "REMEMBER WHY YOU CHOSE TO SHOOT FOR THE STARS, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!" The crowd was chanting his name, "YOU ARE AND CAN BE A HERO TOO! A HERO TO YOUR FAMILY PROVIDING THEM WITH A HOME AND MEETING THEIR NEEDS!" More chanting, "YOU ARE A HERO TOO FROM BACKSTAGE MAKING SURE THE FRONT LINES ARE SAFE!" From behind Spider-Man, the UA staff stood in amazement at the sight before them. "TO THE HERO COURSE, REMEMBER!" He pointed to the crowd he heard them cheer. "THE SAFETY OF THESE PEOPLE IS ALWAYS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY!" He took a breath as he calmed himself, "With great power, comes great responsibility, the greater your power, the greater your responsibility to those you are sworn to protect!" He then remembered the infamous UA motto, "To go beyond! When you think you cannot make it, you pull every last bit of your convictions, your beliefs, the ones you care about and love out of your innermost being! Then you go beyond that! PLUS ULTRA TO SAVE JUST ONE MORE!" At this, the staff erupted behind him causing him to fall off the archway and shoot a web causing him to hang upside down.

"I say Supaidāman," a small rodent in a suit called out to him, this was the UA Principal Nezo, "That was a rousing speech to our bright young candidates," Suddenly Endeavor and All Might came up from the crowds the children wanting to shake their hands and take social media pics. "And with the endorsement of our country's top heroes no less!"

"Spider-Man has proven himself a valued partner to me and my agency," Endeavor boasted.

"A very capable hero, his convictions, well you heard his speech, which I can a test he follows without question." All Might then walked through the gate and stood by the staff, "This year I will be teaching here at UA, with heroes like Endeavor and young Spider-Man, I can focus on our newest generations coming up to teach and guide them to their dreams. I am not retiring just want to guide the younger generation for as long as I can." Spider-Man now knew what his mission was, Japan's #1 Hero just announced his semi-retirement 'retirement'. After that Endeavor and Spider-Man gave their good-byes wishing them the best, well Spider-Man did for both of them.

Moving through the city, Endeavor and Spider-Man were patrolling, "We are being followed."

"I know since UA." Endeavor confirmed only to suddenly have his quirk canceled, "FUCKING ERASERHEAD!" Spider-Man shot his web saving his partner and softening his landing.

"Freaking meat sack!" Spider-Man landed on the side of a roof access doorway.

"You caught a fucking car like it wasn't shit!" Endeavor pointed out, "Don't give me your bullshit cause I am not buying."

"Yeah, I had time to brace for it, I top off at 10 tons you are clearly double, no triple that!" Endeavor was infuriated at his partner for calling him fat!

Endeavor knew just what to say, "Listen here bug."

"Arachnid, you troglodyte!" The miss classification always got under her skin.

Troglodyte, the name always seems to piss Endeavor off, "WHAT THE HELL EVEN IS A FREAKING TROGLODYTE!"

"You two argue like a married couple," Eraserhead groaned before being wrapped up and stuck to an A/C unit. Before he could even protest Spider-Man gagged him with an impact web.

"Quiet mommy and daddy are talking." Spider-Man pointed out.

Endeavor crossed his arms hiding his amusement, "Clearly you are the mommy."

"Focus." Spider-Man saw right through him as he shut his lenses.

Spider-Man then opened a lens as his partner spoke, "I didn't hear you protest." Suddenly Endeavor covered his own mouth, "You are infecting me."

"Oh honey, you make me swoon." Spider-Man fainted to which Endeavor caught him instinctively only infuriating him further as he pushed him to his feet. "Marital spat aside, why do you think he was stalking us?"

"Your bag, ask him." Endeavor gestured to the cocooned Eraserhead. "Besides I have no idea how to untie him."

Spider-Man shrugged, "You could have easily burned through them."

Endeavor's eyes widen, "WHAT! That stuff lasted 4 hours and got into everything!"

"Kinda the point partner, cause, you know, webs?" Spider-Man shrugged, "Woulda kind of defeat the purpose otherwise."

"It still leaves a disgusting film afterward, I'm still trying to get it off." Spider-Man's lenses narrowed, "I will turn you to ash if say anything." Endeavor's hand glowed as Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off. The two stared at each other for a moment then Spider-Man eased in a chuckle and Endeavor's hand returned to normal. "Now how hot does it need to be," Spider-Man narrowed his eyes, "My god it's like I can read your thoughts." Spider-Man's lenses widen as he leapt into his partner's arms.

"You do love me!" Endeavor growled as he tried to pry his partner off him but gave up when he settled atop his shoulders.

"I hate you so much." His voice was flat as Spider-Man adjusted himself leaning in on his neck, "That feels kinda nice actually." 'CRACK!' Endeavors legs went weak, 'CRACK! CRACK!' He was now on the floor on all fours, 'CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!' face down as Spider-Man cracked every part of his back, neck, and shoulders. Endeavor laid motionless in pure ecstasy, "I-I- lo-o-ve you." He barely could say lifting up a finger then collapsing completely. Spider-Man narrowed his lenses and gave a sassy head turn shooting back imaginary locks of hair with a hmph! Soon he heard snoring coming from the mammoth of a man then looked at Eraserhead.

"Here I am, Yagi said you wanted a meet." He then ripped the web from his mouth.

"GOT DAMIT!" Aizawa cursed as Spider-Man noticed the bleeding from his upper lip, chin, and his jawline. He then looked at his web noticing the facial stubble. "Thanks for the wax job," Aizawa said through pain-ridden gritted teeth.

"Yeah sorry, you really do need the facial hair." Spider-Man cracked his neck left to right, he was staring at his trapped target and watched his eyes go back and forth from brown and red.

Spider-Man then pulled out an alcohol swab from a pocket on his waist, "Care to get me out of this?" Aizawa said eyeing the swab not liking where to was going. Spider-Man tilted his head then dabbed his injuries with the swab as Aizawa hissed in pain, "Torture?" Spider-Man narrowed his lenses and took his time providing 'care'.

"There, the bleeding stopped," he said as his lenses then went back to normal with Aizawa shooting him literal death stares his eyes flashing from red to brown.

"Why doesn't it work on you?" Aizawa stated calmly already concluding that Spider-Man was not going to release him yet.

"Is that the only reason you wanted to meet, because if so," Spider-Man saw Aizawa shake his head no. "good, to answer your question it is because I do not have a quirk or quirks." He paused a moment, "Still cannot get used to calling powers that, a quirk is a peculiar behavioral habit or idiosyncrasy."

"Or a term in architecture meaning molding or an acute hallow between a convex." Aizawa knew the definition as Spider-Man narrowed his lenses amused, "You are an interesting hero Supaidāman."

"Dear god I have a stalker," Spider-Man's lenses widen wide as Aizawa cringed at his captor's statement. "Look, I am sorry to break your heart Eraserhead, but even with your beautiful long dark hair and now baby face, my webs only swing one way and she's one hot tamale." If Aizawa could clench his fists he would be bleeding from the pressure.

"I'm not gay nōtarindumbass!" Aizawa snarled, how could Endeavor to stand this guy, he's no more than 18, 20? The longer he interacted with Spider-Man the more his head hurt and questions arose.

"Oh, I knew that, Sleeping Beauty over there," Spider-Man pointed at a snoring Endeavor, "Has a whole dossier on you, quirk cancellation, Olympic level athlete, parkour master, intelligent, possible psychic due to capture scarf being seemingly sentient." Spider-Man then got uncomfortably close to Aizawa, "I am just a guy that wants to do right by his mentor, you heard my speech at UA, I live by that creed." Aizawa believed him, but why did he bother with Endeavor not many heroes did. "He's more than he lets on, I trust him and I like to think he trusts me." He then looked at his partner, "Least I hope so."

"He didn't fry you after you settled on his shoulders, says a lot, he doesn't care too much for bullshit like that." Aizawa said, "Why are you here, The States exile you?"

"Got here by accident actually, I do not know you well enough to disclose that, I haven't even told my partner." Aizawa raised his eyebrow, "I am not a minion of that All for One character, it's just how I got here is pretty out there by normal logical outlooks. Hell, I still cannot wrap my head around it and it happened to me!" Spider-Man scoffed rubbing the back of his head, "By all accounts, I really should be dead instead." Spider-Man's answers only served to give Aizawa more questions. "If you do not trust me that's fine, I would be offended if you weren't, I welcome the skepticism it confirms intelligence."

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "Are saying your partner isn't?"

"No, he's now worked with me for about 2 months now, I like to believe he has good enough reason to trust me." Spider-Man sees Endeavor coming too, moving to help him up, "I trust him." Endeavor gave him a slight smirk and patted his shoulder.

"As do I partner, never question it." Endeavor said firmly, he could tell Spider-Man was smiling, "Jesus, we are like a married couple you're smiling under there." Spider-Man chuckled as Endeavor checked his quirk, "You gonna release him?" he shot up a flame, all was well.

"Nah, he has a lot to process." He then walked back to Aizawa and webbed a pillow for him placing it behind his head. "Comfy?" He then gently slapped the side of his cheek. Aizawa just growled in response, but he was, it was the softest thing he ever had his head upon. Spider-Man gave him a small salute then webbed off, Endeavor following his lead.

Aizawa awoke 3 hours later when he suddenly hit the ground.

[Musutafu: Miles home, a month later…]

Night Terrors and Dark encounters…

Miles was confident that Izuku would get in when he showed up at his place with the biggest smile on his face. "I DID IT SENSEI!" Izuku proclaimed as he tackled him in a hug. Miles was proud of his protegé, "I only used your- my webs and the enhanced strength." Miles looked down at his charge, "I wanted to honor you sensei." Miles caught a lump in his throat.

Miles' voice was shaky, "Y-you did, you did kid, " He then tighten his embrace, "From the start." He broke his embrace with Izuku and grabbed the sides of his head, "I am so proud of you, more than you can ever imagine." Was this how Peter felt with him? Izuku then told him his score and the girl he saved. Yup, he was positive now. "Estan bien mijito well-done son," Miles said with pride, Izuku had no idea what his sensei said but the look in his eyes told him it was a good thing.

Mei was next to arrive, she had got her results the following Monday after she took the exam. Now she was sharing them with them, "I got in Miles-sama."

"Mei you do not have to call me that you two are family to me." Mei smiled wide and tackled both Izuku and him. "I am proud of you too Mei, my little brilliant mad scientist." She giggled at her nickname for her. "I feel like a proud parent, I love you both very much." His words caught them off guard, they looked up and then at each other with bright smiles.

"OTOU-SAN" They both shouted father at him as they hugged him harder. Miles was now over the moon as he held them.

"We got to celebrate!" Miles proclaimed just as he saw Mei pull something out of her backpack she always carried with her. "What's this Mei?"

Mei smiles and asked him to give her his wrist, Miles did as she took off the web-shooters he brought with him over three months ago. "Good but bulky." She then pulled out the web cartridge, "I still cannot make your webs, the formula won't work with me." Miles sighed, he had been making his own webs since Peter gave him the formula to do so. He would make the fluid but Mei was the one making the cartridges and filling them. She then attached a bracelet that was as thick as the cartridge, he no longer had to stop and replace them. Once one was emptied another one automatically replace it. "30 cartridges in each wrist." The trigger system was now merged with his mask's AI which recognized his thwiping gesture.

Miles tested it and smiled, "Thank you, Mei." She smiled at him with a big toothy grin. Her eyes then focused on his costume. "You have the schematics for-" Mei shook her head no.

"I want to make otou-san's new baby, from me." Miles shook his head, she wanted to start from scratch, "Otou-san's mentor's design is awesome…"

"I understand Mei, I'm humbled, I am in your care." Miles could not tell her no. He then told them to wash up and call their parents he was going to treat them all tonight!

[Tokyo: Downtown, Financial District]

The following night Spider-Man took the streets, it was his turn for the night shift. Endeavor had sent several sidekicks with work studies to other districts leaving the biggest one for his partner. Endeavor had not had a night off in a while, simply because in all honestly he did not trust anyone but himself with this district. That was until Spider-Man entered the picture, since signing him on crime rates had dropped significantly. Mostly because of the Nomu incident, that, and such a lean hero catching a car like nothing leaked onto the web. The media did not have that part of his battle, but they did have the footage of him wearing the car as boxing gloves. What the media did not know was that the car was a four-door American sedan! It was from one of America's 'Big Three' automotive manufacturers, a Chrysler 300. It looked as big as a small whale to the audience and Spider-Man caught it like nothing!

He landed atop his bank overlooking the district, the building was as tall as Might Tower in Minato. "All is quiet so far let's hope it-", his AI popped up, jewelry store, high end, like most of what the district had to offer. "Well, there goes that." He then swung into the night air then flipping into his wingsuit and gliding the rest there. The building reeked of upper echelon class citizens, granted he was one of those now, but it did not mean he cared for the lifestyle. Big glass windows, lots of shiny, fancy jewelry, three thugs wearing his mask! "Oh you done goofed now," The thugs looked up and jumped back as they saw him.

"GET HIM!" They pulled out firearms, 'that's rare' Spider-Man thought as he made a web shield absorbing the bullets on impact. His Spider-Sense kicked up and he fired a secondary web barely reaching a stray bullet. 'Click! Click!' Spider-Man dropped the shield and immediately threw it at them.

"Steve would be so proud." The shield hit them knocking their weapons down before he could act a silver streak ran past him followed by a flurry of kicks and blood from the thug's mouths hitting the wall. "Ru-Muriko." She then knocked each one of them out.

"Be a dear and web that trash up." Suddenly Spider-Man's senses flared, he grabbed Muriko pulling her down as an RPG passed above them. "What t-t-the hell!" He spotted a couple walking unaware of what was coming for them, he sees a blinking light on the grenade.

"Bingo!" He leapt off the ground and fired his secondary Energy-Thread Generation (ETG Web), out hitting the explosive disabling the electric trigger. He then pulled up and then down changing its trajectory upwards as it then exploded off the analog secondary one. As he turned back, Muriko had already subdued the fourth thug. Spider-Man bowed his head in relief, she gave him a thumbs up as impact web shot past her hitting one of the fallen thugs between the eyes knocking him out cold. He then returned the gesture, she kicked the guy in the side, he was going to stab her with a shard of glass. His hand was tough, the glass only going down several calloused layers, his quirk maybe?

Spider-Man shook his head as he webbed up the four criminals in tight cocoons with only their noses exposed on a giant spider web outside the store. Tokyo PD arrived, he answered their questions along with Muriko. However, before he could thank her she was already jumping up buildings. He took a breath, "Probably gonna regret this," he had not seen her in months, so, stupidly, he went after her.

She could hear his 'thwips' as she tried to shake him leaping off various roofs into and through small gaps between vents, fire escapes, and overhangs. Spider-Man was right on her fluffy tail. "Take the hint Miles!"

"Yeah, that was never really-" his sense flared as he slid underneath her kick slamming into an A/C unit. She leapt up spinning and came down with a Luna Arc barely missing his head as pieces of the roof gave away shooting up into the air. "good at those." He rolled back and shot his legs into her crossed arms.

"You asshole!" She pulled her arms down as he springboard off of her. She leapt at the same time of the springboard, "Luna FALL!" Before Spider-Man could adjust his equilibrium, Muriko somersaults and comes down with a powerful kick. She embeds her foot and Spider-Man into the roof's floor as his white lenses expand as he cough up blood behind his mask. She leaps off him then takes off.

"Not so fast!" Spider-Man fires a web nailing her leg wrapping it up, he pulls as she falls face-first to the ground. Her eyes panic as she pulls out a knife and launches it at him. Spider-Man lifts his hand to catch it, but is stunned by her actions 'SQEUACH!' He screams as the knife embeds in his hand the blade end coming out the top.

Muriko then realizes what she had done, "OH MY GOD MILES!" the web was thin on her legs as she rips through it and runs back to him. Miles' hand is shaking as he looks in horror at his hand. "I'm sorry, so sorry!" Miles pulls off his mask thinking what he was feeling and seeing was not real, but it was! She embedded a knife, a combat knife in his hand!

"WHAT THE HELL RUMI!" Miles was still in utter shock and horror at her actions.

[Flashback: Rumi, three months ago…]

Rumi had woken up screaming again, in her penthouse bedroom at Shin Tzu Towers, Minato. Every night since the incident at Endeavor Agency she had the same nightmare. She was helpless, scared, as Burnin' and Endeavor just watched as Spider-Man turned into a literal Man-Spider. She was in his web, screaming her apology but only for it to fall on deaf ears. The office would change into a borrow, behind her was a dead white rabbit similar to her drained of all its fluids and life. She looked back as Miles who now looked like a funnel-web monster. She could not move as the web then closed in on her silencing her cries. This was followed by Miles dashing towards her and sending green venom-covered fangs into her chest.

She would then wake up screaming, then quaking in terror as she wrapped her arms around her legs and cried. Miles had truly terrified her atop Endeavor Agency, his mask, those extra eyes, they were unreal. Nothing seemed to make her nightmares go away, she would work out til exhaustion praying for dreamless sleep. It sometimes worked but not often. "He's not human." She wept into her knees, "He's powerful, I saw him catch that car, how the hell can I face that!" Muriko was strong, her kicks equivalent to being hit with the force just over one ton. Spider-Man was easily twice as strong maybe more, he then turned the car into boxing gloves! "I thought he was going to kill me," She remembered the rage in his voice, how she got on that web. "He picked me up like a baseball and threw me!" She then remembered the web cocoon. "I could not break free if only I had- a knife."

The next day she went to a hero support station near Endeavor Agency. The price was high, but it was the best on the market, laser sharpened guaranteed to remain as sharp as day one forever. The blade was 12inches long with the top part serrated to about halfway down the blade. The hilt and hallow handle was black, round, and made from pure titanium, with quick first aid supplies within, the screw on top at its base also served as a compass. The knife itself was perfectly balanced and ideal for throwing in a pinch.

After making her purchase she tracked her cheating ex down. She had to test the blade on his webs. The problem was they were oddly hard to come by, she did not know at the time that they dissolved after four hours. This was why she was tracking him, she was not looking for strands but a cocooned foe. It took two days but she got her chance, he just taken down a minor villain with a glue-based quirk. Spider-Man had stopped him from robbing a bank, apparently, superglue remover rendered him useless. He then cocooned him, hung him on a streetlight, and left after another call.

Once he was gone, she climbed up the pole, "WHO'S THERE!" the villain yelled only for her to knock him out cold. Her knife cut through the web that hung him just like she thought. The villain then dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes which she then carefully stabbed into the web, IT WORKED! The blade cut right through it!

"Guess this new metal, Vibranium, is super effective?" She said as she admired her new support item, "Jesus, it cost me a quarter of my yearly earnings, worth every yen." After that, her nightmares became less intense but they still frightened her. [Flashback: End.]

[Present: Tokyo General]

Muriko waited for the doctor to finish up with Miles in the lobby of the hospital. He was quite calm about the knife in his hand, "WHAT IN THE EXACT FUCK WERE YOU THINKING PINCHE CONEJA ESTÚPIDA! STUPID FUCKING RABBIT!" yup wasn't even mad. "PENDEJA!DUMBASS!" He had the calmness of the Holy Buddha. She sat tapping her foot reading a magazine, well at least she knew he was human.

Miles soon tapped her shoulder, she looked up and saw his hand wrapped nicely. The injury went in clean, after the stitches came off he would need a bit of therapy, but the hand would return to normal with no complications.

"I'm sorry," Muriko looked away, she really was, but getting webbed triggered her actions. Miles just looked at her, his anger was gone, but now he had his chance.

"Follow me," Miles' voice was stern and would not be turned away or down. Muriko took a breath, she did injure him, so she nodded as they left the hospital. Miles grabbed her by the waist with his good hand but before she could protest he fired off a web and away they went.

His hand was healed enough to swing, Muriko was freaking out as they made their way at blazing speed through the city. He released the web launching the rabbit hero into the air as they both did a backflip one intentional, the other not so much. Miles then shot out another web and caught Muriko with his other hand. She looked at him, her eyes showing avid anger. Miles just starred back her as they landed, he released her as she stumbled a bit along the roof's floor.

"Well?" She composed herself her legs slightly shaking from their flight here. Miles took a breath then fell to his knees then bowed placing his head on the roof's floor. Muriko's eyes widened as she saw the sight before her as her arms dropped.

"I treated you terribly Rumi," Miles began as Muriko took a step towards him. "The look in your eyes at Endeavor Agency, I was angry, hurt, I lost myself hammering my point." In truth in the five years of him stepping into the role of The All-New, All-Different Spider-Man had left Miles Morales with PTSD. Most of which came from Goblin, between the death of his father and his mentor, Miles felt hallow at times. The Avengers, Tony, Steve, Thor, and company had stepped up and really became his extended superhero family. Dr. Strange had helped levitate most of his trauma, but he still suffered from it. Rumi had hit all his triggers at once thus causing his actions against her. It was not justification by any means just a reaction, a hostile one, one that he sorely regretted.

"I was terrified Miles, trapped, powerless, those extra eyes on your got damn mask." Miles looked up confused, "They terrified me more than anything."

"What extra eyes, my mask only has two," Miles replied as he took off his mask and handed it to her.

She took it, her hands carefully examining it, "There were six smaller eyes, I swear!" Miles got up and was now holding her hands, "They haunt me every night," Miles then brought her in his embrace, "I don't want to feel like this anymore, so weak, helpless…" Miles rested his head on atop hers.

"I'm so incredibly sorry Rumi," Muriko looked up at him, "Please forgive me, you did not deserve that." She lost herself pulling him in, despite everything that happened, she still cared, she still wanted, she kissed him, wanted him.

"I forgive you," She said breaking the kiss, "Come back to me, let us start again." Before Miles could reply they were lost in another kiss.

"I can't Rumi, I want to, but I can't."

"Burnin'," She said her name with a hiss, "Leave her, the heat of the moment, come back to me."

"No, we have gotten- close," Miles said now out of her arms and backing away. "Intimately."

"It has been 3 months kinda expected something like that," Rumi rolled her eyes unfazed, "Miles, it doesn't matter, be with me." Miles shook his head 'no', in truth he felt a connection with Burnin' something he wanted to follow through with. "Miles."

"I am sorry Rumi, I- I'm sorry." Miles fired a web and then swung away. Rumi watched as she saw the man she wanted disappeared behind a building, it wasn't fair. One stupid argument and she killed what could have been a good thing, a really got damn good thing. She did not even give him the time of day, just pulled the trigger not really wanting to hear an explanation. However Miles stood his ground, he forced her to listen, and she did. Miles did not even have to try, he defied her, challenged her, then overtook her.

She was caught up in his conviction, his words demanding to be heard. He turned her on in that hospital room, causing her to want him even more than their first and only date. When he closed the door she was hit with sudden clarity. She fucked up. She then stamped her foot and let out a pissed-off roar, it wasn't fair, why did she ruin such a good thing, damn him! DAMN HER!

[Midnight: Just near Endeavor Agency]

Leaving Rumi alone on that roof was hard, but if he didn't he would have fallen. Burnin' did not deserve that, he choose to leave Rumi that day in the hospital. He kicked himself for doing it, he was so caught up in his own bullshit he got tunnel vision. He did one more round around the city as the clock struck midnight. His shift was over when Spider-Man landed on a gargoyle overlooking the Endeavor Agency block and skyscraper. Suddenly his Spider-Sense flared up, however, this flare-up was horrifyingly familiar, "No it can't be." His mobile buzzed but he hit ignore, his com-link was next but he then shut it off. Shooting a web he followed his sense leading him away from home base. Another buzz and he shut off his mobile too, "Not now partner." He picked up his swinging as his senses were now firing all sorts of red flags. "It's impossible, I took him out!" One mind-numbing sensory overload later something tackled him out of the air.
