Walking through the halls Spider-Man heads to his locker when he notices Katana, Harley and Bumblebee waiting in the student lounge as Wonder Woman walks out in her latest attempt at a new super suit.
She wore a long purple cape, large high heels and a W shaped crown.
"Ooh your new Super suit is smashing!" Harley said crushing an apple with her mallet to emphasize her point.
"You look good." Bumblebee said.
"Good is good but Crazy Quilt grades on creativity, craftsmanship and practicality so—" Before Wonder Woman could make a decision the Save the Day alarm went off.
"Save the Day Alarm!" Bumblebee said as they rushed out, but as Wonder Woman flew out her cape got stuck on Spidey's locker causing her to fly backwards and hit the ground.
Picking herself up Wonder Woman flew towards the door, but as she flew higher in the air the large W crown covered her eyes causing her to crash into the door and falls onto the ground. Running out to catch up with the others her heels get caught in the grass. When she takes off to fly a chunk of ground attaches to her shoes causing her to collapse.
"Luckily, this was just a drill." Principal Waller said as she looks to see all the super heroes of Super Hero High were outside.
As Cheetah laughed Spider-Man looked at Wonder Woman walked back to her room throwing her cape and crown in the trash.
In Barbara's IT room, Jaden was sitting down next to her as Barbara was working telling her about what happened at the drill.
"Yikes and I thought your suit designs were bad. No offense." Barbara cringes.
"None taken, guess I'm not the only hero who's screwed up here." Jaden said.
"You don't know the half of it." Turning towards the door Jaden and Barbara look to see Bumblebee walk in.
"How so?" Jaden asks.
"During her first flying test she got obliterated by the flying obstacle course and during her Weaponomics class she tied the teacher up with her lasso of truth." Bumblebee said.
"Wow seems like every new hero here gets embarrassed beyond belief." Jaden said.
"I want to talk to her, but I don't even know what I would say." Bumblebee said sitting down.
"I might know someone who knows what she's going through." Barbara said turning towards Jaden.
"Me?" Jaden said confused.
"Come on Jaden, you knew the hero business before you even got here. You know how to handle failure." Barbara said.
"I'm still trying to handle all my failures." Jaden said.
"You know maybe you're onto something Barbara, Jaden can help Wonder Woman learn from these mistakes and maybe can help her improve." Bumblebee said.
"Well I guess I can give it a shot. You won't get too jealous that I'm hanging out with another girl?" Jaden smirks looking at Barbara.
"I'll try to be strong." Barbara giggles.
As the sun was setting Jaden walks to Wonder Woman and Harley's room and knocks on the door. Opening the door Harley peeps out.
"Oh hey Spidey, what up?" Harley asks.
"Hey Harley, is your roommate here?" Jaden asks.
"Are you kidding? She's been moping all day and nothing I do seems to make her laugh." Harley said opening the door to reveal various joke items scattered on the floor and Wonder Woman laying on her bed depressed.
"Okay I'm stepping in." Jaden said walking over to Wonder Woman. "Get up and put on some regular clothes. We're going into town."
"I'm not in the mood." Wonder Woman said into her pillow.
"Look you can't let a few bad things get you down. It happens to everyone." Jaden said as Wonder Woman got up to face him.
"That's easy for you to say, I'm the Princess of Theymyscira. Everyone's expecting me to be an amazing hero and all I've done is mess up." She said.
'Princess? Whoa.' Jaden thought. "Well you're not gonna do any good if you just say on your bed doing nothing."
"Thanks but I'm not in the mood." Wonder Woman said.
"See Jaden, nothing's gonna get her out of that bed." Harley said.
"I got one option." Jaden said revealing he still had his web shooters on. Firing two webs at Wonder Woman's feet he yanks her out of bed and onto the floor.
"Not cool." Wonder Woman glared.
"You need this, now come on and get dressed." Jaden said as Harley threw red and gold t-shirt and a pair of jeans on her.
Up above in space a crater was flying through orbit when a piece breaks off it and flies towards Earth past the Justice League watchtower.
On it a man with green skin and a blue cape noticed it, this was Martian Manhunter.
"I sense something, but what is it?" He said to himself as the crater enters the atmosphere.
In a small lab multiple scientists were looking at the computer when one sees the crater flying in.
"Alert the boss, I think we have something." He said.
Down below Wonder Woman was glaring at Jaden as the two of them walked through the streets of Metropolis.
Jaden feeling the glares on the back of his head lets out a sigh.
"Why did you even bring me here?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Because you need a break from being a hero, everyone needs one once in a while." Jaden said turning to her. "Haven't you ever had a day just to be a regular teenager?"
"I was raised to the be the next leader of the amazons an honor that I have taken quite seriously." She said.
"I see." Jaden said when he notices an ice cream stand nearby. "Hey, have you ever had an ice cream cone?"
"What this ice cream?" Wonder Woman asks confused.
"Follow me." Jaden said leading her inside. "Two cones please."
"Coming right up." The vendor said handing Jaden two vanilla cones and Jaden gives them the money.
"Here you go." Jaden said handing a cone to Wonder Woman who examines it curiously before taking a taste and instantly her eyes widen.
"Great Hera this stuff is amazing." She smiles.
"There's that smile." Jaden smirks in victory as Wonder Woman at her cone. "Hey I don't think I ever got your name."
"What do you mean? It's Wonder Woman." She said.
"No I mean your real name. I mean my name is Jaden Cooper, you had to have had a name before you came to school, didn't you?" Jaden asks.
"Oh well it's Diana." She said nervously.
"That's a very pretty name." Jaden smiles.
"So uh…what do you do when you're not being…well you know?" Diana asks.
"Follow me." Jaden said as they went to the mall.
Looking at all the stores Diana started to feel better as she forgot all the stress from being a Superhero.
"Hey Jaden, can I ask you something?" Diana asks.
"Sure, what's up?"
"How did you figure out what you wanted to do? You know with this whole hero thing?" Diana asks.
"Well the truth is I'm still struggling, everything in this school is a lot harder than when I was just doing this by myself." Jaden admits.
"But you're able to figure things out. You got your suit, your gear, how are you able to handle all that stuff when people expect so much from you?" Diana asks.
"Well it's because even though people want me to be something I gotta be myself first. Like take what we're doing right now." Jaden said gesturing around them. "What are we doing?"
"We're hanging out at the mall like everyone else here." Diana said looking around.
"Exactly, we're having a normal life. Which is what I had long before I came to this school or even became a hero. I'm able to because I stay true to who I am, I'm me. To everyone at the school you see me just as Spider-Man, but I'm also Jaden Cooper. If you want to figure things out, stop being just Wonder Woman and be Diana as well." Jaden said.
"Wow, that was wisdom worthy of Athena." Diana smiles.
"Thank you, so feel better?" Jaden asks.
"Yeah, a lot better." Diana said as they left to return back to school.
Leaving the mall they heard some garbage cans rattle and a screaming. Looking to each other they run down the alley to see a mugger robbing a mother and her child.
"Alright folks let's make this easy and nobody gets hurt." The mugger said pointing a gun at them surprising Jaden and Diana.
"Jaden we got to stop him." Diana said about to rush at him when Jaden stops her.
"Hold on we can't just rush in, we can protect ourselves but they can't." Jaden whispers.
"Then what do we do? We can't just do nothing." Diana said worried.
Jaden looks around and picks up a garbage can lid and hands it to Diana.
"What's this for?"
"I got an idea, but do you trust me?" Jaden asks.
"What?" Diana turns to him.
"Do you trust me?" Jaden asks again holding out his hand.
"Uh yes." Diana nods slightly.
"Then hold this and get ready to throw." Jaden said grabbing Diana's hand surprising her.
"Wait Jaden what are you?" Before Diana could finish Jaden launches her into the air surprising her.
Diana flies over the mugger and throws the trash can lid hitting the mugger in the head causing him to fall to the ground.
Running in quickly Jaden grabs the gun and runs to the family.
"Are you okay?" Jaden asks as Diana runs over to them.
"You-You saved us. Thank you so much." The mother smiles.
"You're a superhero." The daughter smiles looking at Diana.
"What? No I'm not a—" Diana looks to Jaden's smiling face as he nods a small blush appears on her face as she smiles down at the child. "Yeah I guess I am."
Back at Super Hero High, Diana was still smiling after her save. "I can't believe I did that."
"And you didn't need anything special to do it." Jaden said.
"No…but I did have some pretty awesome backup." Diana said causing Jaden to chuckle.
"So think you got it figured out?" Jaden asks as they arrive at Diana's room.
"Yeah I think I do, thanks Jaden." Diana said giving him a hug before walking into her.
Opening her closet she saw two silver wristbands. "Time for me to be me."
On the outskirts of Metropolis a crater crashes to the ground and from it a black symbiote emerged from the crater.
The symbiote looked around as if it was studying the new location when all of a sudden multiple trucks and men arrive and surround the being.
One person traps the symbiote in a container preventing it from escaping.
"We have it sir." The man said turning to a figure exiting a car.
"Excellent, send it to my lab at once. I want this thing thoroughly examined." The figure said.
"Yes sir." As they drove away the words OSCORP were labeled across the trucks as we saw the grinning face of Norman Osborne watching the symbiote try to escape.
