The Hosu incident was an unprecedented disaster, one that was sure to shape Hero Society in Japan.

The Hero Association Administration Department building was destroyed, and from there a whole twenty blocks were reduced to ash and rubble. The causality count was respectively low for how zžwide spread the attack was, but still it was devastating.

What's worse, Hope's objective had gone up in smoke, and after it being clawed out of the sphere of nanites it was held in, no one, not even Wanda could track it down. This means the group was right back at step one, and the moment they got a step forward.

The heroes around the area searched through the rubble of Central Hosu for as many people as possible. Rescue shared the feed to her dozen drones with the police and tech based heroes. Heroes like Captain America and Allmight helped to clear the way for emergency medical care to take anyone stuck in the rubble. Peter and Gwen were pulled to the side by Wanda, who was told, along with a handful of police, not to let either of them out of their sights.

Hope was found amongst the wreckage of the HAAD building, and was carefully taken away with emergency services to Hosu General Hospital. She was decommissioned from Hero Work for the time being. As well the monster, who was ruled out to be the source of the fire, had somehow disappeared into thin air, leaving almost no trace left. Meaning that, now what was left of Hosu and neighboring cities were on high alert for anyone with a Quirk having to do with fire, magma or any form of combustion.

After things died down, the Symbol of Peace was off, his fellow teachers coming to Hosu General for their students. The same two students who were cuffed to the same bed while being checked on. Only to later be scolded by one of the mother figures.

"In what way do you think what you did was in any way responsible?!" Nemuri shouted out as she stood over the two young heroes. "Were you even anywhere near that site when it happened?! Either of you?!"

He wanted to say he was, right around the block when it happened and ready to move just as everything went to flames. And he could have, she would have probably believed her. But, that'd be a lie. And for some reason he couldn't lie to her face. He couldn't lie to anyone's face really, but hers especially.

"Yeah, I was getting gifts for my family from the market...nearby, when it happened." Gwen did not seem to have a problem with misleading information however.

"Really?" Kayami raised a brow as she put a hand on her hip. "And pretell, exactly what market was that?" Immediately after that question the blonde fell silent, wide eyed and looking away from the two, as both of them stared at her.

"I thought so." She sighed softly as she closed her eyes for a single moment. When she opened her eyes she continued. "Do you two have any idea what could've happened to you two?..."

"M-Ms. Kayami, if I hadn't shown up my cl-" Peter attempted to explain, but was swiftly cut off by a hand against his lips.

"Don't tell me! Please!..." Nemuri looked into his eyes as he stared back, a look of frustration mixed with concern painting her face. "If anyone hears you did anything else you might not get off with just a slap on the wrist...Okay?..."

To that, the young hero gave a simple nod. The R-Rated Hero let out a breath, moving her hand away from his mouth. The three in the room stood silent, the teacher inching closer and gently resting her chin on the young man's head, causing his face to gently press against her plush cleavage. He didn't say anything, he just didn't know what to do.

"What are we gonna do with you, Mister Parker?..." She spoke softly as she closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around him in a motherly manner. It made her feel better about what happened, holding him like this.

But that moment was forced to end when they all heard the door to the room open. Walking through the frame was Pepper, out of her armor and in her grey business suit. She smiled over at the three, while Nemuri turned her attention to her, inching a bit from the young American.

"I see you two are getting along." Pepper stepped towards the three. "You wouldn't mind if I...had a chat with them? Would you?"

"No, not at all." Kayami smiled. She pulled her arms from Peter's torso, putting her hands on his shoulders and pressing her soft lips against his forehead. Immediately his cheeks burned like the bottom of a kettle over a fire.

Gwen and Pepper simply watched, one of them with a look of unease from being so close, and the other with a soft smile as she watched.

Nemuri took a step back from the kid, who looked down at his feet while she put her hands on her hips and looked at the two. "I will be outside, waiting to take you to your respective homes." She nodded, before stepping back a few feet, turning around, and heading for the door, pulling it open before leaving the room and shutting it behind her.

After a second of silence Peter let out a heavy breath, causing the two women to look over at him.

"Well you're exasperated, huh?" Gwen raised a brow as she spoke in her usual monotone voice. However there was a small smile upon her lips, one of a dying breed.

Peter shrugged, looking over at the young woman. "No not really, I...I...I'm not sure. She reminds me of someone I know..."

"Peter..." The two young heroes heard, and turned their attention directly to who spoke. Pepper crossed her arms, her scolding eyes nearly piercing through his skin. "What were you thinking?"

The question caused him to stammer a little, hunching over as he blurted out. "Why are you coming down on me?! She was there first!" he gestured to the blonde.

She simply raised a finger as she looked up at their teacher. "But can you prove that?" she raised a brow. He was ready to snap back, but was stopped abruptly.

"I don't care who was first!" Pepper raised her voice at the two. It was just like that of a mother scolding her children, which was not at all far off. "I don't care who threw the first punch, I don't care if it is against the law here or not! Do you know how dangerous it was out there?! How hurt you could've got?!"

"Yeah, I do! I always do!" He attempted to reply, but was once again stopped.

"Do you? You broke nearly every bone in your body, almost lost your arm, and then almost broke it again!" Pepper listed off with the fingers on her one hand. She then let out a sigh, letting her hand fall to her side. "Ugh boy...I really do sound like a Mom now..." She mumbled to herself while pressing her hand on her cheek and running it down her face.

"Mrs. Potts, I'm sorry for worrying you-"

"Sorry won't cut it if you're dead." She replied plainly.

"This feels familiar-" Gwen chimed in. However she stopped dead in her verbal tracks when she felt the businesswoman's scolding gaze pierce her skin. She looked away, coughing awkwardly before speaking. "I think I'm...ready to leave...Can I go-"

"You're on thin thin...THIN ice. You understand that?" Pepper questioned as she stepped closer. "You could've been killed! And me being here? Tony coming all this way, would be for nothing!"

He was at a loss. And for good reason. He knew she was right. If he somehow died, then Pepper, Steve and Wanda being there would be for nothing. Peter simply lowered his head, staying silent.

"You don't have a valid Hero Permit anymore, and you keep getting hurt one way or another..." The orange haired businesswoman crouches down a little to his and Gwen's level.

"Okay, then how do I help? Without putting myself in danger?"

To that Pepper let out a soft sigh. She knew who Peter was inside. He just wanted to save as many people as possible. But this was foreign territory, none of them knew what to expect, and if that monster they crossed tonight was any indication, the best thing for him to do was to stay on the sidelines and let these heroes take care of it.

She lifted her hand, gently running her fingers through the young man's hair as she looked him in the eyes. "Be a kid. Have fun with your classmates, make memories." She turned her attention to Gwen, smiling softly. "That goes for you too. Just because you have these powers, doesn't mean you can't be an everyday citizen. This is an experience, okay?..."

To that, The two young heroes gave a nod in understanding. Pepper stood up, nodding her head before speaking. "Okay. Now, go home. Get some sleep. Because you have a big day tomorrow!" she gave an enthusiastic grin, stepping back some.

"Great!" Gwen smiled up at her, before tilting her head to the side towards her cuffed hand. "You mind getting us out of these then?"

That caused the woman to stop in her tracks, falling silent for a second before saying. "Wait here.." She then turned towards the door, heading to it to leave.

"Where are we gonna go?!" Gwen called out to Pepper as she opened the door in front of her and then shut it behind her.


The ride home from Hosu General Hospital was a quiet one. Very few words were said between Nemuri, Gwen and Peter. Mostly because both the stustudents felt it would make their predicament worse. Their teacher wasn't mad in the slightest, in fact she was quite proud of them for doing what they thought was right. However with how Quirk Laws were set up, there was no way for them to continue like this and have it end well.

Gwen was the first to be dropped off, having nabbed a white hoodie almost twice her size to hide the suit she wore. She opened the door to the cab, and stepped out, using her foot to push the door back into place without looking back. And as that same cab drove off she made her way down the cement path to the Bakugo household. She didn't get to even touch the knob before the door it belonged to flew open. Behind it was Mitsuki, in a bluish green nightgown and robe. There was a look of silent anger on her face.

"Get. In. This house. NOW!" She shouted out in a mix of rage and maternal instinct. The grown woman swung hherself around and walked further into the house, with Gwen following suite.

Her improv lecture took about an hour to conclude. And it consisted mostly of Mitsuki screaming at her the way she does to her own son, which was oddly enough comforting to Gwen to know that this person considered her part of the family enough to scold so much.

"What do you have to say for yourself, young lady?!" Mitsuki questioned with her arms crossed and a brow raised as she looked down upon the blonde exchange student sitting on her couch with her head down. She only said one thing.

"I'm sorry. I promise next time I try to get you gifts I'll tell you." Gwen stated. Not something she wanted to hear, because she knew that wasn't what she was doing.


The remaining two's next stop was at the edge of Musutafu, at the front of the apartment complex where the young American would stay for his duration there.

Peter gave a low breath as the cab slowed to a stop by the front of the place, his hands gently patting his thighs. He was still wearing his suit, and nothing but his suit, aside from the mask which was in his hand. He looked over at Kayami, nodding. "This is my stop." he said before for the lever on his left to open the door.

But he was stopped in his tracks abruptly with a hand on his shoulder. He froze up immediately, and slowly turned his head around to face her.

She wore a small smile as she looked at him. It was something she couldn't shake off. However, upon his gaze she lost her train of thought. What she wanted to say had become clouded by his innocent look. Everything she wanted to say had gone away quicker than she found them.

"Uh...Miss Kayami?.." she heard, and was soon snapped out of her thoughts, finding herself staring at the boy in front of her.

She bit her tongue a moment, before raising a hand and pointing a finger inches from his face. "I expect you to be on your best behavior for the rest of your time here. Understood, Mister Parker?" she questioned in a stern tone. All she got was a nod.

She was in pure teacher mode with how she spoke. But a hint of a less strict, much more loving personality shone through. "Have a good night, Peter..." She spoke softly, leaning in closer to the young man, much to his surprise. He was frozen, his face beginning to heat up as he felt Nemuri's puckered lips press against his cheek.

Peter was wide eyed, his complexion turning red as a ripe tomato as he stared off in front of him. This was the first ime anyone had kissed him, other than his Aunt May, and even though it was the cheek he was still going to count it.

The R-Rated Hero inched away some from him, looking on at his flustered expression as he looked down at his legs. That may have been her second favorite thing about him. She let out a soft purr, her lips giving a seductive smile. "Now go~ Before I change my mind and keep you for myself~" She licked her lips seductively, teasing the young man to the full extent.

The young man's hand scattered around the lever behind him, before grabbing onto it and pulling on it. He pushed his back against the door to open it, and as a result found himself fallint out the car to the sidewalk they were parked beside. He fell on his back, causing a small yelp to escape his teacher as she leaned over a bit.

Peter was quick to get on his feet, smiling nervously back at the woman as he walked backwards. "And good night to you, Ms. Kayami! See you tomorrow!" He grinned as genuinely as possible, his burning cheeks calming down. He then shot a webline out the the edge of the cabs door, before tugging it to the side and shutting it. He turned around as the car drove off. And once he looked back to see the cab out of eye sight, he changed course from the front door to the alleyway beside the building.

The alleyway was rather roomy. Enough to keep a car parked with more than enough room to open both doors. There were two doors that lead to the inside. He knew for a fact that they were locked, but he wasn't planning to used that as a means of entering.

He looked up at the complex, squinting his eyes as he fixated on the open window on the third floor. He squatted some, putting a decent amount of power into his legs before pushing himself up, leaping a few feet into the air. He didn't reach all the way, but landed on the wall, his fingers and toes sticking to the right-angled surface.

He crawled up the wall towards the open window, making sure to be as quiet as possible while he did. Once he reached the open frame he popped his head up to take a look inside. It was his room. No one was there, his bed wasn't at all tampered with, as well as his stuff. Mei was probably asleep.

Softly he launched himself up, his upper body above the frame as he swung his lower body forward inside. Using that momentum he tossed the rest of his body into the bed room, landing hunched over on all fours. Not even with that loud of a thump as he landed.

The young man stood up, letting out a sigh. he then reached for his chest and tapped the small insignia. Immediately his suit decalibrated from his form, becoming a bit more baggy and easier to take off.

He let the red and blue suit fall off his shoulders, revealing a well toned upper body and the scars of his right arm, which reached up his bicep. It was honestly getting better, that casual irritating pain was going away. Either that or he was just growing more tolerant.

Just then the door flew open, causing him to jump up. There was no perceived warning before hand, or after.

Standing in the doorframe was Mei Hatsume, smiling from ear to ear, as usual. But there were bags under her eyes, which had a little red in the whites, a clear sign she's been up for a while.

"Peter! You're back! Perfect!" She grinned with a voice that resembled an unhinged psychopath backing their prey into a corner.

"Mei?! Y-you're up?!" Peter stuttered, trying as fast as he could to cover up his upper body with his now saggy suit. "What time is it, you should be alseep!"

To that he got a laugh. Or more so a sort of cackle from the young inventor. "Oh Peter! You of all people should know innovation doesn't stop to rest!" Quicker than he could even notoce she got closer, with great speed appearing right in front of him with just inches between their faces, and less between the rest of their bodies.

"So how'd the suit fit?! Like a charm, right? it's not ready yet. The healing unit is shot, the gliders are torn, not to mention the dozen firewalls it has!" She listed off everything in the suit that needed repairs, which was almost everything. But at the moment that wasn't what he was teally concerned about.

"Mei?" he spoke softly, causing the pink haired inventor to stop in her verbal tracks, which was at that point just rambling on ideas for the suit. She looked up at the young man. "How long have you been up?"

"I have NO IDEA!" she stated with confidence, cackling like someone in the brink of madness after. At least, until she felt two firm hands each grab her arms. Then her smile went away as she stared.

"Get some sleep!" He shook her back and forth with each word that left his lips. "Innovation can wait for just a few hours, okay?"

There was a second of silence between the two. but after that Mei let our a laugh, shutting her eyes as she looked away. "Nonsense! I got plenty of sleep yesterday!"

It was obvious that she had a problem with her sleep cycle. She barely had one.

Peter let go of Mei, letting out a breath as he looked away, thinking of what to do or say.

Meanwhile Hatsume changed her attention from Peter's face to the rest of his body. She looked down to his chest, lifting her hands up with a grin.

Peter was stuck in his thoughts for a moment as he thought of what to say. But anything he wanted to say went right out the window. His cheeks began to glow some, gulping.

Mei's hands were on him, patting down his sides and going up his upper body, all the while smiling while Peter stared in shock and disbelief.

"Wow! Your body is tighter than I thought it'd be!" She stated with a depraved tone. "You must be really strong, right?!" She looked up at him, ger gaze alone causing his face to burn crimson red.

He jumped back some, shaking and stuttering. The scientist was unphased. At least until Peter's suit slid off of his right shoulder, revealing the faded ends of his lightning themed scars. After just a quick glimpse, before he pulled it back up to his shoulder, her smile faded away.

"Mei, you shouldn't just do something like that! At least ask first, people can get the wrong ide-...Mei?.." As Peter spoke the young woman stepped closer, her gaze more upon his right arm than anything else. She then reached out for it, grabbing his wrist and lifting it up. Silently, she pulled the red and blue cloth off his arm, revealing the lightning bolt scars printed onto his once blank skin.

"When did these happen?..." She spoke softly, almost in stark contrast to her tone just seconds ago. It took the young man by surprise to say the least.

"Those are pretty recent..." He explained. As Hatsume slowly and gently caressed his skin, he continued. "Right before I got here. The worst injury, actually..." Mei was silent, her fingers trailing down her arm to the palm of his hand. "But hey, it could've been even worse!..." He attempted to joke, letting out a soft chuckle as he shut his eyes.

After a few more moments she let go of her grasp on Peter's hand stepping back. Her lips curled into a grin as she looked up at him. "Well...I have things I should get to work on! These babies aren't gonna make themselves!...I'll see you later..." She turned around, moving towards the door confidently but exhausted. Peter just watched, sighing softly.


Everyone had a morning routine, as variable as they seemed. They woke up early, got ready to go, ate breakfast, and were on their way. However this morning, all the U.A students stopped in their tracks at the morning news.

"...In other news, foreign Superhero-in-Training was found at the scene of the latest Hosu City Incident, titled: the Hosu-Elemental Incident, referring to himself as 'Spider-Man'. Said to be named after the American Comic book hero Spider-Man,"

As that news played in the livingroom of the Ashido household, two of the three residents were enthralled. Mina sat on the floor in her bed clothes, a simple red shirt and blue baggy shorts, her eyes wide and her mouth curled into a grin as she saw Peter Parker's mugshot, which was him with a nervous grin. Her mother on the couch beside her, tilting her head.

"That's one of your new classmates, right?" Her mother asked with a raised brow.

"He actually fought whatever that thing was?!" Was all her mother got. She was like a giddy child all over again.

"Eyewitnesses report that they saw this Spider-Man, quote: 'Swing like a gymnast on ropes' towards the scene just moments before it occurred."

The Jiro household was far more ecstatic than any other. Although that's mostly because of her father Though the two of them didn't mind. They were used to, and rather enjoyed how loud he could get when he was excited.

"AH HELL YEAH! MY DAUGHTER'S NEW CLASSMATE IS SO HARD CORE RIGHT NOW! YYEEAAAHHHH!"

"No one says 'Hard Core' anymore, Dad." Kyoka stated plainly from the bathroom down the hall, having took her toothbrush out of her mouth to speak, before continuing to brush once more.

"Not unlike lasy Saturday, where he was sighted, and apprehended at the scene of two Quirkless American Heroes arriving unexpectedly in Downtown Hosu. One has to ask, are these two incidents related, and if so, is this 'Spider-Man' at the very center of it?"

Izuku stared at the screen along with his mother, a look of silent disappointment in what was broadcasted. They were accusing him of being someone behind the two incidents, even if they didn't outright state it. But after what happened last night, that couldn't be further from the truth.


"No dilly dallying! Understood?! I want you both back here right after school!" Mitsuki called out. She had a hostile mother lion tone to her voice as she shouted towards Katsuki and Gwen, who were walking along the path away from the Bakugo household.

Her son let out a low growl, looking over his shoulder with venom in his voice as he spoke back. "ALRIGHT! GET OFF MY BACK, HAG!" It was safe to assume this was the healthiest this family was ever going to get.

Mother Bakugo let out a sigh, and closed the door in front of her. And once her son noticed, his demeanor changed. He reached out and grabbed Gwen's arm, something she could have easily stopped if she wanted to, but didn't.

The blonde young woman looked over at the hothead with her usual expression, tilting her head. "Something up?"

"Don't play dumb." He spoke coldly as he stared her right in the eye. "You were in Hosu last night."

"Yeah. I was. I was getting gifts for you and your family." She explained, pulling her arm swiftly away from him. "They got destroyed in the attack."

That wasn't at all what he wanted to hear. Because he knew that wasn't at all the truth. What she said didn't match the look in her eye.

"And you didn't have anything to do with last night?"

The exchange student simply shrugged as she turned her gaze away from him. "No. I was simply caught in the crossfire of it all." She wasn't lying that time. But he knew she wasn't telling the whole truth either. She looked back at him, tilting her head. "We can continue this conversation later, if we have to. Now come on." She then began to walk again, stepping foot on the sidewalk, while Bakugo growled at her backside.

"HEY! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" He yelled out. Gwen waswasn't at all phased, in fact only growing a smile as she walked.


Peter's route to U.A was the same as yesterday. Unless the city Metro systems went out it was how him and Mei got from home to school and vice versa. And nearly every one had their eyes on him. He was like a local celebrity, for mostly the wrong reasons.

It struck a nerve with him. Seeing so many eyes focus on him made him terrified. There were no alarms, his hairs didn't rise, but he was still uneased. Mei was of no help whatsoever. Although, she didn't notice one bit.

When the two did arrive to U.A, they parted ways. Mei had decided to take his suit again, to install some upgrades and maybe even repair it, leaving him with just the mask since she believed she didn't need it.

And with that he headed into the main building on campus, where his class was held up.

Just as he made his way down the hall he felt the almost unnoticeable shiver down his spine, the hairs of his arms standing up. Something that took him off guard for just a second.

"Peter!" He heard, just a few feet away. It sounded like one of the girls he had lunch with. And she was coming at him, ready to tackle him to the ground.

Quickly and swiftly the young man turned, reaching out to his so-called 'attacker' and wrapping his right hand around her right wrist, stepping to his left and pulling her forward, causing her to lose her footing. Suddenly young hero-in-training pulled her towards him, before letting go of her wrist and allowing her to run into his front, smushing her face against his chest. Peter stumbled back a step, but caught his footing right after.

He wrapped his arms around her snuggly, making sure she didn't somehow get hurt. Inadvertently, she did the exact same thing and wrapped her arms around his torso.

He looked down at the girl in his arms. It was the Acid girl Mina Ashido, looking up into his eyes while keeping her face buried in his chest.

"You really shouldn't sneak up on someone like that..." Peter tilted his head with a soft smile. "That was the goal right?"

A soft chuckle left the pink girl as she pulled her face a few inches from his chest, revealing her radiant grin. "I should've known it wouldn't work on you! Still fun to try though."

The two let out soft chuckles, one out of slight embarrassment and the other out of amusement of her effort. After a moment the young hero let go of his pink spunky classmate, both still with a smile on their faces. Mina was about to ask something, but was interrupted by an all too familiar growl.

"MOVE!" Bakugo screamed as he stepped towards the two, causing Peter to look over his shoulder and Mina to lean a bit to to her side. "GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY YOU FUCKIN' INCELS!" he snarled, bumping into Peter's shoulder, what seemed like purposely as he made his way past the students, hunched over with his hands in his pockets.

The young heroes watched as he walked towards 1-A in silence. Peter was pleasantly surprised, and intimidated to say the least.

"Don't mind him." Mina stated while turning her attention back to Peter with her radiant smile. "He's just usually like that. Don't know why, though."

"He gets it from his mother." They both heard from a familiar voice. And both jumped at it. Right behind Peter was Gwen, holding onto the straps of her bookbag as she watched her host leave the scene. "It's his family's way of communication. Especially when they're mad."

"Where did you come from?!" Mina questioned with an elevated voice od panic, despite nothing remotely panicky occurring.

The blonde young woman simply raised a brow, tilting her head some to the side. "Did I spook you or something?"

"Yes. Yes you did." Peter replied dryly. But it didn't phase Gwen one bit.

She simply shrugged before stating. "Let's get to class. Before the teachers find anymore reason to chew us up." She eyed Peter as she said that second part, getting across them both exactly what she meant. She then walked off to class, leaving the two alone in the hallway.

Almost immediately the acid girl questioned him, jumping some as she did. "Did you actually fight the guy with that crazy Lava Quirk?! How powerful was he?! What was he even after?!"

The sudden barrage of questions from just one person was...well, unexpected. The young man stuttered, turning red while as she asked question after question she took a step closer, causing him to take a step back.

"H-Hey! C-Calm down...Uh..." He attempted to deescalate the young woman, but it then dawned on him, he didn't know her name. Or, he didn't remember. And she could tell.

"I'm Mina Ashido! And I'm your biggest fan!" She grinned, only to look away after a second, putting a finger on her chin. "Or, I'm Spider-Man's biggest fan." She then turned her attention back to him, giving a sly grin. "I do love Peter Parker though~"

Cue a Chibi white Spider-Man angel escaping Peter's mouth from a sporadic breath, that may or may not have been his last.

"T-Thanks, I'm flattered really but...haven't we just met?..." Peter questioned.

"Oh! Well, yeah! But, I've actually known you since I was little. Or, your comic counterparts." She explained with an embarrassed chuckle, looking away as she rubbed the back of her head. "Me and my Mom read almost every Marvel comic..."

Peter simply tilted his head at that. He had absolutely no idea what 'Marvel' was. That or what his alter-ego, and apparently him, had to do with it.

However before he could bring up the question about it, the end of a webline splattered onto the dress shirt of his uniform. They both looked down at his shirt, before he was pulled forward aggressively past Mina. "I'm coming I'm coming!"

The door to Class 1-A slid open, allowing Peter and Mina to walk in in full view of the nineteen other students, plus the two teachers at the front desk.

One on the floor, waving her fingers towards herself as scarlet red mist strings enveloped her fingers. She was using her smaller psionic fields to sweep up shards of glass, all the while apologizing frantically. Even though the other was speaking against it.

"I'm so sorry Eraserhead!" Wanda spoke in a regretful tone.

"Miss Maximoff-"

"I got it! I'll take care of it, don't worry." She continued as she got onto her feet, the shards of glass floating in her force field.

"Please don't." Shota replied dryly. To no avail. She only stopped once she looked over her shoulder and noticed Peter and Gwen by the doorframe.

"Oh! Good morning you two." She smiled brightly, turning her whole body and ealking to the two. "I'm...I'm sorry..." She chuckled nervously, causing Gwen to raise a brow.

"Did something happen?" Mina poked her head out from between the two spiders, tilting her head. she then boticed the shattered glass floating beside her newest homeroom teacher.

"Yeah..." The three students turned their attention to one of their classmates. It was Uraraka, pressing the tips of her index fingers against one another as she smiled nervously, shutting her eyes. "Some of us tried to get you guys some last minute arrival gifts. But...the glasses I bought for you guys cracked at the incident last night..."

"We thought Ms. Maximoff could fix it but..." Izuku started, before looking down while while beginning to rub the back of his head.

"I broke them!" Wanda blurted out, causing Peter to swing his head back to her the moment she spoke, while Gwen and Mina did the same more casually. "I didn't mean to! It's just like my powers went haywire and ripped them apart and I don't know why..."

Gwen raised a brow at that and tilted her head. "Well that's a red flag..." she muttered as she looked away from the two.

"Okay, take your seats, you three." Aizawa instructed the three students still standing at the door. They all followed, heading to their usual seats, with Mina sitting with her friends while Peter and Gwen sat in the back.

"Today is a special day, everyone." Wanda spoke. "Me and my fellow teachers were able to set up time for...joint training with you and class...1-B, right?"

"Yup."

"With Class 1-B! To prepare you for the Final Exam's practical portion!"

"As most of you know the Final Exams are just a few days away. You've been preparing for the written portion, but not the practical one." Eraserhead stated. "So one of Peter and Gwen's instructors decided it would be good to let you 'Stretch your legs', so to speak."

"Woah! Really?!" Kaminari grinned, while Kiroshima stood up in his seat

"That's so awesome! I can't wait!" He called out, basically speaking everyone's mind.

Except for Bakugo, who growled lowly. "Sit the fuck down BEFORE I BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF SHITTY HAIR!"

The two Americans Peter and Wanda just watched with everyone, with a comedic sweatdrop on the side of their faces. Gwen, at this point, was used to it.


Mei was at the workshop earlier than usual. Something that shouldn't be possible some people think. They believe that she is always in her workshop. However people who actually knew her, of which the number was very few amongst everyone in the entire world, knew she had other mandatory classes to take. She never truly paid attention, mostly just coming up with ideas for her next project, but at least she was attentive. Most of the time.

But today she got to work in the shop earlier. Under the pretense that this would get her ready for her own Practical Exam coming up. She was using the time to work on the Stark suit as much as she could. To figure out how to fix certain pieces of the system, and or replace those pieces with her own features.

As she looked through the inner mechanics of this advanced suit however, the metal door to the studio slid open, but she didn't even notice. It was only when Pepper spoke that she got the inventor's attention.

"Ms. Hatsume, can we talk? For a moment?" she asked as she took a step into the workshop.

"Not right now! I'm working on my greatest project~" Mei let her unhinged tone slip out as she continued on. The orangette walked to the young woman's side, looking down at the red and blue suit on the table.

"Oh. You're working on my student's suit?" Pepper raised a brow with a bit of a sly smile.

"It's so sophisticated! I've never seen anything like this before!" The youyoung inventor stated, not taking her eyes off it.

"Well, on behalf of my husband, thank you."

Upon hearing that Mei's head shot up, her eyes widening as she twisted her head around at breakneck speed, a psychotic grin upon her lips. "Your husband made this?!" Before letting the married woman even reply, she continued. "Who is he?! He has his own Hero Support company, right?! He has to, right?!"

"Okay, calm down, Mei." Pepper let out a little chuckle seeing the spunky inventor's energy. "Yes, he has his own company overseas. And school...Maybe one day, you can enroll there as an exchange student? Maybe become head of development there if you play your cards right."

Mei's eyes gleamed at that, filling with excitement at the thoughts of the future that filled her mind. As a pro support hero, pillar of a massive company, personal designer of a future pro hero's tech.

"Yes! I'd love that so much!" She nodded sporadically.

That grin combined with that energy may have been too much for the expecting mother, who let out a gentle laugh at her eagerness.

"Maybe one day." Pepper said with a gentle voice. "But, right now I need your help." the grown woman lifted her metallic blue and silver briefcase, laying it right beside the suit on the table before it began to open and expand in front of the girl's eyes.

Inside was the metallic red and blue orb, which was ripped into and hollowed out. Pepper reached out and grabbed it, bringing it closer to the two. "See this?" She asked with a raised brow. "This was housing a fairly important item, something I need to track down. But, I don't think I'm near smart enough for the job. But the teachers around here told me you might be."

Mei looked down at the asymmetrical orb, tilting her head as she reached out slowly to take it. Once in her grasp she pulled it away from the Pro, looking it over. "You want me to check for residual chemical signatures? Thermal prints?"

"Not exactly." Pepper shook her head at that. "I tried those already, but there isn't any chemical, thermal or bioelectrial trace of it. What I need to do is find the pure energy signature of it. Think you can do that?"

Instead of an answer she got a cackle from the inventor, letting out a over exaggerated laugh. "Don't worry, Mrs. Stark! I can have it done by noon!" She smirkes while adjusting the goggles on her head. Only to stop once she caught the gaze of the red and blue suit. "While I do that...can you help me with something?" It wasn't like her to ask for help when it came to anything.


After first period it came time for hero training. The best class according to a makority of Class 1-A. It was a time for the students to spread their wings, so to speak. Let off some steam. Though it happened rarely.

The class took to Ground Beta, an outdoor course ressembling a small city, complete with skyscrapers, building interiors and even sewer systems designed to give the best in multi-terrain city training.

The class got suited up in their individual costumes, since the final exam would involve them if was better for them to break them in more. That and, well, they all love their costumes. Especially Mineta. but not his.

"Hey Pete! Gwen!" The two Americans heard as they walked along the path to the grounds. They were a bit behind from everyone.

Mina waved her arm in the air, grinning as she stood with a pair of floating gloves and a six foot two young man with white hair and multiple arms stuck together with sheets of flesh.

This was Mezo Shoji, the Octopus Hero. One of the quieter students in class that stuck out like a sore thumb with his mutation, 'Dupli-Arms', which allows the user to use his tentacle arms to stretch, replicate or duplicate limbs.

Peter and Gwen walked to the group, both looking on at the lot of them in their hero costumes, all of them looking unique from one another.

The young American was the first to speak of the two. "You guys look good! Really have...your own personalities." He stated as he looked over the class, only losing his smile when he noticed Momo in her skin exposing red costume, and Kirishima basically revealing his entire upper body. Upon that, he also realized that Toru was wearing gloves and boots he could see. Which probably meant that she was wearing nothing else.

Immediately as that thought filled his mind he looked away, turning red in regret of figuring out that last part. "Oh no..." he muttered under his breath. And Toru, Kiroshima and Momo understood.

"Sorry if you're uncomfortable!" The invisible girl spoke, putting her gloves together, her voice carrying an apologetic tone. "It's just...This is the best way for me to use my Quirk..." she continued while pressing the index fingers of her gloves against each other.

Yayarozou nodded in agreement, chiming in. "My Quirk needs room to allow me to use it properly. This matched the guidelines and what I needed..." She spoke. Though, having to explain it did turn her cheeks red.

"I need a bit more mobility with mine." Kiroshima stretched his shoulder, grinning as he rolled his shoulder back. "So I just got rid of all the protection. Ya know?"

"Speaking of which, what happened to your costume?" Peter heard from behind him. It was one of Shoji's arms that had formed into a mouth. He didn't even norice.

"Oh, that..." Peter started with a soft chuckle. While everyone else, including Gwen, was dressed in their costumes, Peter was not. Instead, he wore the U.A P.E. outfit, with padding on the knees and red and white running shoes. Still he grinned. "Mei wanted to take a closer look, see if she could fix it some more..."

"Huh." Peter couldn't tell, but the way her glove was positioned she had her hand on her chin. "So you're letting her take care of it? Why didn't you just call your designer?"

"Because...He is all the way in America, doing something really important!"

While Peter did his best to explain his predicament to the small group Gwen headed to the rest of the class. She walked towards one of the students, in a pitch black cape, only revealing a black bird head with a yellow beak. Much shorter than her.

This was Fumikage Tokoyami, the outlier of Class 1-A, with both a Mutation and Emitter Quirk, 'Dark Shadow', in which a sentient shadow creature resided inside him, free to come and go as it pleased.

"So..." Gwen started, crossing her arms while thinking of what to say. "You're..."

"Fumikage Tokoyami." he nodded as he looked up at her.

To that Gwen tilted her head, raising a brow. "That's a...name.." she shrugged. Before swiftly slamming her arm down behind her, finging squishy impact with the grape boy who had come up behind her. "One second."

Mineta was lurking about just moments earlier, he couldn't help himself when it came to the girl's costumes. The freshmeat that was Gwen was one of them. And, she was to be the next 'victim' of his. However, that backfired greatly, getting him slammed into the ground with one hit that seemed to give no real effort.

It caused everyone to jump back from the sudden thud, looking over at the source.

The female spider spun around behind her towards Mineta, who was caught in a daze. She crouched down, looking down at him while squinting her eyes. "Try me. I will beat you to a grapefruit pus. Got it?" There was an aggressive tone in her voice, except for the last part, in which her voice went back to normal.

"Y-Yes ma'am..." Mineta whimperes in the ground. Then suddenly he was picked up, lifted off the ground and onto his feet. Gwen simply gave a thumbs up, before getting onto her feet once more. Only to her an unfamiliar laugh.

"Look at this! They haven't been here a whole week and already the exchange students are crossing on their fellow classmates! I suppose it's to be expected! How else can we expect such lousy students to act!"

This was Neito Monoma, of Class 1-B. A blonde with slick hair, in a black double breasted tuxedo, fit with half a dozen watches on his wrists. A huge outlier in the vast array of colorful costumes, but it made sense with his Quirk.

And he was chopped at the back of the neck. And fell to the ground.

"Sorry..." Kendo spoke in a soft apologetic tone, waving to the group as she grabbed Neito's collar from behind. Standing with the rest of the participating students of Class 1-B.

"What is going on?..." Peter basically deflated, hanging his head.

"It's okay..." Midoriya huffed exhaustedly. "You get used to that after a while..."

"This happens often?" Gwen raised a brow.

"With Momoma...Of course..." Momo sighed.

"Alright, listen up!" All the students turned their attentions to the source. Standing at the gate was the two main teachers of class 1-A and 1-B, Shota Aizawa and Vlad King. Between them, Captain Rogers.

"Most of you don't know me! My name is Steve, Rogers." He introduced himself while crossing his arms. "As of this moment I am your Combat Instructor. And as your instructor it's my job to increase any skills in fighting technique you have." He explained as formally as possible. "Any questions before we get started?"

In the mass of the crowd of students, one hand was taised into the air, of whuch Vlad King called on.

it was Sen Kaibara, a stoic calm and collected student of Class 1-B, arguably the best in class when it came to close quarters combat with his Quirk, 'Gyrate', in which he can twist and spin any part of his body like that of a drill.

"Yes, thank you Vlad-Sensei." He bowed his upper bodt to the, before standing straight after. "In what way will this help us with our combat prowess?"

A small smirk cracked upon the captain's lips hearing that. "I'm glad you asked. This is a little activity we call 'Snag the Key'." He stated. Almost everyone raised a brow. Except for Bakugo, who looked rather disinterested.

"The objective is simple!" Another voice called out from behind them all, a feminine voice full of all types of energy. Everyone knew it right away it was Nemuri Kayami. They all looked behind themselves to see her in her literal skintight costume. "Somewhere in Ground Beta is one key, to keep things simple. As a class you must retrieve this key as quick as possible! You are allowed to steal key from the enemy class, however unless you bring it to your class zone it doesn't count." She explained while lifting a finger for effect.

"Oh! So like capture the flag!" Midoriya put a hand on his chin as he looked down. Ochako beside him nodded.

"I see! It'll require full cooperation with our classmates if we wish to succeed at our best!" Iida shouted out, raising his arms ay a ninety degree arch. He got a thumbs up from the R-Rated Hero.

She then looked along the crowd comprised of the two classes, Peter catching her eye. Something unavoidable, as he stuck like a sore thumb.

"I expect you to stay vigilant, Mr. Parker." She pointed towards the young man, sounding stern in her tone. "I don't think I can bear seeing you hurt..."

Everyone turned their attention to the young man, who's face had completely turned red as he stuttered out of control.


After only a few days stuck in bed in Hosu General hospital, Scott was up and moving. He was still secured to the hospital grounds for at least three more days, but at least he could get out of bed without being watched by someone every day.

And today he used that freedom to see his partner a few rooms down.

Hope laid in her hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling in silence. Beside her bed was a crutch calibrated for her height and weight. In her lap was a tray, on it rice, poached and grilled pork. All her necessary protein. She had only eaten half of it, but was already satisfied. She was also bored out of her mind.

She only brightened up once the door to the room opened. In the doorframe stood the Ant-Man, in a casual patient gown and a smile on his face.

"How's my favorite female insect?" He greeted, closer the door behind him.

"Tired...A bit stiff in the leg..." She rolled her head on her shoulders, letting out a sigh. "But it's better than no feeling at all, right?"

"Yeah, I know that feeling..." Scott chuckled, walking over to the bed she resided in. There was no limp, or really anything wrong with his posterior.

"Well you look like you're moving well." Hope smiled up at him.

The former thief took a seat beside yhe bed, leaning into it. "Yeah. I feel great! Mostly, at least."

"Good..." She nodded, sitting herself up in the bed and letting out a wince of pain. "Because now it's your turn to get beat up..."


Class 1-A and 1-B had gotten put into position for the match. five rounds, fifteen minutes, one key in plain sight. And teams of four for every round.

The first round was 1-A's Tsuyu Asui, Rikido Sato, Hanta Sero and Kyoka Jiro vs 1-B's Kinoko Komori, Tokage Setsuna, Manga Fukidashi and Shishida Jurota.

Tsuyu was the first to get the key, ising her heighheightened frog-based agility to get to it while Jiro and Sero served as defense, while Rikido was offensive. 1-A had took the key for a majority of the match, but eventually Froppy found herself crushed under the weight of a giant exclamation mark created by Manga, who grabbed the key before handing it to Shishida to take back to his class' zone. Meanwhile Kinoko incapacitated the rest of 1-A, growing mushrooms all around Sero's skin and pushing Kyoka back. 1-B ended up getting the point that round. Just in a disgusting way.

"That's so weird!" Ochako muffled behind her hands as she looked away from Jiro, Rikido and Sero, all covered head-to-toe in tiny mushrooms made to irritate the skin.

"Relax. It'll only last for a few hours." Yui Kodai stated calmly, adjusting the hat on her head.

"I feel like this could've been worse." Peter thought out loud, only to be confirmed by Ojiro that, "Yes. It could've been much worse..."

"Wait," Gwen started, looking over at the Frog-Hero, who for some reason was unaffected by Kinoko's attacks. "How're you mushroom-free?"

Froppy simply tilted her head while putting a finger to her chin. "I'm used to it." She said with a croak.

The second match up was 1-A's Denki Kaminari, Eijirio Kirishima, Tenya Iida and Minoru Mineta vs 1-B's Reiko Yanagi, Ibara Shiozaki, Pony Tsunotori and Juzo Honenuki.

Tenya, carrying Mineta the whole way, was the first to make it into the building the item was held in, skidding to a stop just a few feet in front of the key right in plain sight on the desk of the office building it was set in. Mineta jumped off Iida's back, grinning. "Jackpot!"

"Okay! We grab the key, and take it back to our zone." Tenya explained ti the grape-haired boy as he walked towards the desk. "If anything happens, it is your job to get it there or to the others, understood?" Iida slapped his hand against the surface of the desk and over the key.

"Right!" The migit nodded with a determined voice. Until he heard a feminine voice.

"A simple plan. Not worth the effort." Reiko spoke softly. Mineta twisted his head to the wall near him, and there she stood, staring down at him with her souless look.

Iida turned his attention to where the 1-B student was in the wall, just as Grape Juice screamed out, scurrying away.

The engine hero jumped into action, swinging himself towards her and jumping into the air. I reeled his leg back, shifting his gears into third gear before swing it and himself into a backflip roundhouse kick right towards her. Only for her to jump back through the wall, allowing his leg, along with one of his arms and head to phase through, before suddenly stiffening around them.

Ingenium stopped dead in his tracks, the wall solidifying around his arm, leg, and torso, locking him in place. In frkntfront of him was Reiko, waving weakly as she hunched over.

"Heh...That went off without a hitch." Juzo spoke, causing Iida to turn his head to see the young ash blonde walking to his teammate's side with a wide grin towards his enemy. "Sorry about that..."

"I see! You lured me into a false sense of battle security using your teammate as bait to entrap me in this wall with your Quirk!" Tenya thought out loud, very loud. "Great strategy, I must say!"

"Thanks..." Juzo chuckled, rubbing the back at his head before pointing to Reiko with his freehand. "It was actually her idea, though."

"Oh, stop. You're making me blush." she replied stalely, her face just as pale as ever. "Give us the key."

"Never!" He shouted out, full of determination. "Mineta! Run!" He shouted while opening his hand to reveal the key from the other side of the wall. "Take the key and run!"

Grape Fruit grew hesitant for a moment, just getting up from getting spoked by the ghostly Hero-in-training phasing through the wall. And now his teammate stuck in that very same wall. However after catching his breath he sprung into action, swiping the key from Iida's hand before breaking for the exit. Only to be blocked by Ibara, who's vine hair was holding his other two teammates Denki and Kiroshima, both unconscious. He fell on his rear end, stammering away in nothing but pure fear.

Needless to say 1-B won once more.

The third round was 1-A's Koji Koda, Mina Ashido, Mezo Shoji, and their exchange student Peter Parker. All against 1-B's Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Sen Kaibara, Neito Monoma and Itsuka Kendo.

"Oh. I'm with..." Peter looked around his class, immediately finding Mina inches from him the moment he turned around. He jumped back a foot as he looked at her and her usual grin. "M-Mina do you have to be so close?!"

"So any strategies?" the pink young lady tilted her head as she put her hands behind her back.

"No. Not really." he replied, crossing his arms. "I don't know any of the other team's ...Quirks. Much less a tactic to counter them. To make matters worse I only really know yours. Not that much either. I'm going blind..." He let out a sigh, putting a hand on his chin and looking down. There was an odd similarity between him and Midoriya. And everyone noticed once they heard the soft mumbling coming not from Deku.

He was snapped out of it though, when he heard Mina speak. "That's okay!" He looked up to see her beautiful grin, snapping her fingers. "Spider-Man always does his best work under pressure!"

"Indeed!" They all heard a familiar, confident voice. Peter and everyone else turned their attention to who it was, and there at the massive doorframe he stood. The Number One Hero: All Might. "I expect the same kind of determination as last night, young man."

"All Might!" Midoriya grinned, walking up to his mentor. "Why're you here? I thought you weren't going to be here today.."

"Nonsense!" the Number One Hero laughed triumphantly. "Eraserhead told me you and your class were participating in an activity arranged by Mr. Rogers! I just had to see!"

Gwen gave a thumbs up, speaking monotonously. "Sweet."

"Alright. Let's get this started with." Aizawa called out with his usual voice. "Come on. get out there."

The four selected students began to walk towards the exit to get into their zones, until Peter felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. While the rest of the group walked off Peter turned around to see Nemuri, looking down at him with the same expression he's seen too many times with his Aunt.

"You're still healing." She stated, trying to give a stern pace. "Don't exert yourself. Take it easy on yourself, alright?"

The young hero could barely hold back the smile persistent to line his lips. "Alright, I promise...I gotta go now." He stated and stepped back, before turning around and running after his team.

The two groups were placed on opposite ends of Ground Beta. Team 1-A under the platform of an active metro station. All waiting for the bell.

Peter was squating on the ground, loosening his leg muscles, sticking one out on his side before pulling it back in and doing the same for the opposite leg. His mask was on and the eyes of it narrowed.

Meanwhile, everyone else watched in the control room, awaiting for the siren to sound.

"So you think we're ever getting a point? At least one?" Toru questioned, apparently putting her hands on her hips.

"Well...It's not anyone on that group is particularly fast." Shoto stated blankly.

"You're right." Momo sighed. "Based on how they are now, none of them for sure have a chance in getting to the key first. Even less if anyone from 1-B gets to it first."

"Peter would be the best bet. But with his crash landing, I don't know..." MidorMidoriya thought out loud for all to hear. "He definitely has a massive disadvantage here. He'll be slower than usual, I bet."

"Great. We all agree that this class is complete trash." Bakugo remarked, his arms crossed as he looked up at the screens with everyone else.

Gwen simply shrugged. "Don't count him out just yet." She chimed in, with some of the students from both classes looking at her. "He's been through a lot. Meaning he has experience. Which means he knows what to do."

Peter jumped onto his feet with the eyes of his mask widening to normal size. "Lets do this..." He spoke to himself, looking on and waiting. Getting into a running position with his legs spread. Mina did the same, though her stance was wobbly at best. The young man noticed, and as he did his arms dangled, with his mask giving a raised brow expression. "You need help? Have you done something like this before?"

Mina simply chuckled nervously, shrugging as she stood up. "Yeah...I'm not all that good at...athleticism..."

The masked young man stood straight putting his hands on his hips. "Well, first you want to find a good balance with yourself, where you can launch yourself at an upright position, if that's what you were going for."

Ashido tilted her head for a moment, before looking down at her feet, spreading her legs some on the ground. A bit of a better balance. "Like this?"

Peter gave a thumbs up at that. "Perfect! Now to work on the launch." he stated before the siren sounded for everyone to hear.

"Alright..." He looked towards Koda and Mezo, giving a thumbs up. "Try to keep up! I"ll grab the key!" He spoke as he got ready to move, before Mina grabbed his wrist.

"Wait! You can't go alone!" She stated.

"Can you keep up?" He questioned, only getting a chuckle.

"If you don't plan on carrying me there~" She remarked with a wink. And for a moment under his mask he could feel his cheeks begin to glow a bit.


Class 1-B was the first to grab the key, and already they were heading to their zone. Monoma had hos hands on the key, walking down the vacant street with nothing but a smirk on his face.

"This is way easier than I thought! And i thought it would be a cakewalk." He snickered as he walked, with everyone else on his front, back and side.

"Don't get a big head." Kendo spoke, getting his attention. "Remember that class 1-A fell into the top eight at the sports festival."

"So?!" Neito replied with a grin. "Those 'Top 8' students aren't even in this match! Just the rejects and an exchange student!"

"We shouldn't underestimate him. Any of them." Kaibara looked back at the copy hero. "We don't know what they're capable of now."

"Whaddya mean?! One's a tentacle monster, one's a rock that talks to animals! The pink chick has acid and that other guy just has sticky hands!"

"Adhesive hairs!" They all heard from behind. The pink skin girl who screamed it out grinned, having jumped out of an alleyway before landing on her feet and sliding to a stop, lifting her right arm with her hand posed like Peter's whenever he shot a web. On her right wrist was one of Spider-Man's carbon wrist gauntlets. In her ear a small earpiece.

"Work baby work!" She called out, flicking her wrist, shooting out a webline towards Tetsutetsu, the end splattering on the front of his costume. He let out a yelp in surprise, shining silver lining his skin. She didn't seem to care at that wxact moment however. "I hit him! I actually hit him!" she shouted, full of excitement.

Until she saw the metal man grab his end of the webline. Then her eyes widened, gulping audibly.

With a grunt Tetsutetsu pulled the webline back, ripping it off his costume while at the same time pulling her off her feet and straight toward him. Mina screamed out, flailing as she flew towards him.

And while he did above them the masked hero swung, letting go of his webline and falling down to earth. Just seconds before he hit the ground he shot another line out his m right wrist, inches from the street. With great velocity he swung right past Monoma, swiftly sweeping the key out of his palm as he let go of the webline straight towards Tetsutetsu.

Tetsutetsu reeled his arm back to swipe at Mina, only to receive two feet straight into his back at highspeeds. He let out a groan, while Peter put power into his legs, launching the 1-B student forwards, just missing his teammate as she flew past him. Not even hitting the ground he grabbed onto the webline still connected to Mina's wrist gauntlet as she flew past him with his left hand, shooting another line with his right.

"Nice job, Mina! Lets go!" Peter called out, swinging his arm forward, with Mina's line still in it. Inadvertently he swung her up into the air up at a building, causing her to scream out of both terror and excitement. Spidey wasn't far behind.

The acid girl landed on the roof of the building, tumbling to an AC unit and onto her back. She let out a huff, adrenaline running through her at the exact moment. Sitting up quickly she put a hand on her chest, breathing heavily while growing a massive grin.

The masked young man landed on the ledge beside her, looking down at her as he crouched down. "You alright? I didn't...hurt-"

"That was awesome! So awesome!" Mina interrupted, getting up onto her feet with nothing but pure excitement in her tone. "I actually hit him! I shot the web and I hit him!"

"I'm so proud of you!" Peter stepped off the ledge to her, crouching down while he gave a thumbs up. He then lifted up the key in his hand, handing it over. "Now take this. I'll catch up when these guys figure out-" He explained to her, only to deel the tingle in the back of his head and his hair rising for her to see. His eyes widened, and without a word he wrapped his arm around Mina, using the power of his legs he launched himself into the air just as an explosion erupted behind him. Mina in his arm holding on tight.

The explosion was comparably average, and the source was Monoma's hand. He had somehow leaped all the way up to the roof, and set off an explosion in fron his palm, not unlike Bakugo. And everyone watching knew it. Completely with a sly smirk.

1-A's raging hothead clenched his fist, snarling as he began shouting at the display. "THAT FUCKIN' COPYCAT PIECE OF SHIT!"

Gwen raised a brow at that, looking over at her host. "Copycat? What do you mean?"

"Neito Monoma's Quirk." Ojiro clarified, causing the exchange student to look over at him. "He can copy the powers feom anyone he comes into physical contact with, and use it himself for up to five minutes. It's weaker than the original, but it can still pack a punch."

"Ha! Like he'll get close to touching Peter!" Denki chimed in with a sly grin. While Mineta watched on in jealousy seeing Mina in his arms as he leaped from rooftop to rooftop.

"He's kinda moving like you, Midoriya..." Kirishima stated, turning his attention to the back of the green suited hero-in-training.

"Yeah, but more refined." Shoto chimed in.

Monoma landed on his feet atop the roof, smoke coming off his hand as he watched the Spider-Man run off, before turning his attention to his teammates on the ground, stopping the watch on his forearm.

"Monoma! What're you thinking?!" Kendo shouted, helping Tetsutetsu up onto his feet. "You shouldn't be using that one! Someone'll get hurt!"

"Really?! I'm not a sweaty amalgamation of insecurities! Besides, I'm not trying to kill them!" The copycat crossed his arms.

"I know you have other Quirks on you! Keep injury to a bare minimum, got it?!" The orangette shouted out.

"Alright..." Monoma looked down at his right wrist, turning on the watch on his wrist set at five minutes. Only then did steam begin to escape the left side of his face. What looked like a villainous smirk appeared on his lips. "I promise I'll do my best then."

"Okay, still sticking to the plan, right?!" Peter questioned the pink young woman in his arms as he leaped from rooftop to rooftop. She nodded.

"Watch out for Monoma!" She spoke into his ear for him to hear, causing him to narrow his eyes.

"Monoma? Which one's Monoma?" He slowed his pace, but still jumped onto a railing, before jumping into the air once more and falling into an alleyway. Landing on his feet he let go of Mina, setting her on her feet.

Mina then explained. "The one who tried to blow you up. He's using Bakugo's Quirk. Probably stockpiled a bunch more too."

"So what, he steals powers or something?" His mask gave a raised brow expression.

Mina simply shook her head. "He copies them by just touching the original owner. But he can only use one at a time, for five minutes."

"Really..." Peter put his chin in his hand and looked down in thought. "That means...Okay." He looked up to Mina, stepping back some while lifting a hand to the side of his mask. "Shoji, I got the key. At the alley of...Homecoming Road."

"On my way." Peter and Mina heard from their earpieces. The masked young man then stepped away.

"Stay here! I'll lead them away!" He stated, quickly leaping up to a wall of the alley, before propelling himself off towards the building beside it, landing on the ledge of the roof.

All the while Mina watched and called out. "Wait! Don't let him touch you!" She tried to tell him. But he was already gone. She simply looked down at the key in her palm.


1-B had set out to the street of Ground Beta in search of their opponents. For Kendo, and Kaibara it was for the key to win the match once time was up, of which there was only ten minutes left. Long enough to swipe the key and bring it home. For Tetsutetsu, it was simply to find the best fighter of the group, which he believed to bbe Shoji since no one else showed any feat of strength. Monoma, he just wanted to humiliate the 1-A students laid in front of him.

The four split up, in search of the enemy combatants, with half taking the streets while Kendo and Monoma took to the rooftops.

In order for his plan to actually work he had to get the copycat's attention. Something much easier than it shoud have been.

Just as he stepped onto a railing and used that leg to launch himself into the air he felt a shiver down his spine. The eyes of his mask widened. Monoma had somehow leaped from one roof towards Peter, sliding in while the left side of his body steamed before lighting up with flames.

Quickly he shot a webline down to the roof in front of him. The moment it splattered onto the platform he reeled his arm back, increasing his speed suddenly and landing on his feet, rolling from his back before getting back onto his feet and swinging himself around in a swift motion.

Across on the rooftop in front of him Neito stood, smirking while the left side of his body stood engulfed in fire.

"Monoma! Looking...hot's too on the nose..." The eyes of Peter's mask narrowed as he stared.

Neito simply let out a laugh, his flames diming and dying out on his skin as he clenched his fists. "How long do we have left? Ten minutes, maybe?" He questioned rhetorically with a sly smirk. "That's a lot of trouble to go through just to fail in the end. Why don't you just hand that key over? And I promise not to humiliate your friends as much."

"Like just giving the other guy the objective isn't humiliating either?" Peter spoke under his breath, getting into an open hand fighting position. "I feel like you live for belittling others. Who am I to keep you from your passion? But you're gonna have to work for it."

Monoma's smirk somehow grew wider, more sinister even. "I see why you're stuck in 1-A! A few run-ins with D-Grade villains made you overconfident! And that's how you're gonna lose."

He was ready for anything the copycat could throw at him. However he noticed something odd. The temperature had to be around seventy degrees, but fog was escaping Monoma's mouth.

Suddenly the eyes of Peter's mask widened, and quickly he leaped backwards up into the air, just milliseconds before spikes of ice shot out from under him.

Everyone in the surveillance room stood shocked. From either surprise he even copied it, or from maternal instinct.

"Wait, he has Todoroki's Quirk too?!" Mineta screamed out in complete shock. While most of the students looked over to the half-red half-white haired young man as he stood unphased.

"Huh..." He spoke monotonously. "So That's why he was so close earlier."

The teachers watched the display. Steve and Aizawa was visually unphased. All Might and Vlad King did show some concern in their expressions. Nemuri was biting the tip of her thumb, full of nothing but worry for the masked young man's safety.

Peter landed on his feet, and leaped back once more the second he did, flying back. "C'mon Copycat! Gonna have to try better than that!" He yelled out as he fell to the ground, leaving Neito to lose his smirk. In its place was a small scowl.

"Copycat?..." Neito growled under his breath, before leaping in after his prey.

Meanwhile a few blocks away Mina ran towards her team's zone. She didn't use her Quirk to traverse, since it'd leave a trail on the ground for her opponents to track. So she sprinted for it.

However she was quick to stop in her tracks the moment she heard an explosion not so far away. Turning her attention to it she gave a look of slight worry. In a moment that felt to her like forever. Hearing explosion after explosion she stepped back, gulping.

It was a warzone, those blocks. As Peter jumped through the smoke of a burning building into an alleyway another explosion busted out, blasting through the wall to his side on his way down.

"There you are!" Monoma called out, jumping through the new hole in the wall and reaching out to grab his opponent with an open hand.

The masked young man shot out a webline from his right arm, behind him towards the ground a immediately pulling at it the moment the end made impact with the ground.

He pulled himself back just as Monoma was an inch from brushing his fingertips against his chest.

Flying backwards he spun himself around, landing on his two feet and left arm. Sliding to a stop he held his right arm close to his chest and clenched his fist as he shouted.

"Rapid Fire Web Grenades!" He shout out, swinging his right arm out. Opening his hand he let a dozen compressed web pellets fly out into the air in front of him while his opponent leaped into air, his left side bursting into flames.

"Argh! C'mon! When are you gonna stop running and fight, Parker?!" Kaminari shouted up at the screen while everyone watched.

Gwen was the first to speak. "When that Quirk runs out of juice."

"Huh?" Denki turned around to look at the female arachnid.

"Think about it, Lightning Dolt!" The lightning user swung himself around towards the explosion themed hero-in-training, who crossed his arms looking at the screens. "I doubt he's an idiot. He's stalling until Copycat's used up Todoroki's Quirk."

"Right!" Izuku mumbled to himself silently. "He can only use a copied power for five minutes."

"But he saw Monoma use ice, along with fire and explosions..." Reiko tilted her head as she spoke lifelessly.

"Right! Maybe he thinks he has three Quirks and not two!" Juzo chimed in, only to be shut down by Yui beside him.

"Incorrect. Remember the Sports Festival? When Shoto Todoroki revealed his Quirk was made of two powers?"

From a few bodies away one of the 1-A students shouted out in disbelief. "Are you saying he saw that?!"

"Likely. It was an international broadcast, so it isn't a stretch. Or, something else."

"Like?" Juzo raised a brow.

"I apologize. I can't say, due to legal purposes." Kodai kept her stoic look, continuing to stare up at the screen.

She, as well as Midoriya and Bakugo knew at least somewhat what he was doing. He was either stalling the most powerful piece on the board so his teammates could get the objective back to base, or he was making the king burn through its power until it reverted back into a pawn.

"You're pitiful if you think balls are gonna stop me!" Neito shouted out with grin on his face, running through with his left aide still ablaze. At least until every one of those balls blew up in his face.

All at once the dozens of pellets blew, expanding and splattering all around the alleyway, with Monoma right in the middle, caught completely in a thick spider web.

He was stuck in place, growling while tryong to pull himself out. The flames out his left side sprouted, burning brightly, causing Peyer to look away from the shining yellow light. Only for that light to go out, as Neito's flame swiftly withered away, followed by a double beep from one of his watches. He was out of time with this Quirk.

Peter let out a breath, staggering to get onto his feet and putting his hands on his hips. "Okay...We done? Huh?..." He huffed. taking a step closer before stopping. The eyes of his mask went wide.

The burning building right beside the two began to buckle leaning towards them, ready to fall right on top of Neito.

Before anyone even realized it, the masked young man leaped into action, lunging himself forwards right towards his opponent, using all the power he had in his legs.

"De-Webbing Agent!" He shouted to seemingly no one. With a thwip of his right wrist a streak of dark green gas spewed out his single webshooter, engulfing Monoma's torso. It didn't do anything to him or Peter, but the webbing was quick to dissolve, giving way for the both of them to fly forwards just while the building behind them crumbled where they were.

Everyone in the surveillance room watched in surprise, minus Bakigo, or Aizawa and Steve. This was what they expected. Nemuri...

"Oh God!...Oh boy..." She breathed heavily, using her hand to fan herself. It easily got the attention of the Captain and Allmight. Especially with the grin that crept onto her lips.

"Uh...Miss Kayami? Is something wrong?" he raised a brow, only to feel Aizawa's cold hand on his shoulder.

"It's better if you don't ask."

Monoma rolled to a stop while his rescuer flew over him, some feet before landing on his face and sliding to a stop.

Silence filled the alleyway, with nothing to be heard but heavy breathing and the cackling of fire behind them.

Peter was the first to get up, jumping onto his feet with the eyes of his mask gone wide, before he pulled it off to reveal his wide eyes. "Okay...Okay..."

Monoma slowly pushed himself onto his forearms and knees, groaning as he squeezed his eyes shut. But they soon shot open. His vision became distorted, saturated and without color all at the same time. A ringing filled his ears, until he heard nothing but it. He was scattered.

Peter turned towards the young man as he sat there still on the ground, almost shaking. The Spider-Quirk user stepped closer to him, looking down at him. "Monoma?..." He started softly. He didn't get an answer. He stepped closer, slowly. His opponent couldn't hear him coming.

But he heard what he said next. "Monoma, are you alright?" He felt a hand on his shoulder as Peter crouched down. "You can walk right? Can you get up? Monoma?!"

There was nothing for him. No hairs rising. No shiver down his spine. It was so sudden. He didn't know what hit him.

When Neito swung his arm in with an open hand, aimed directly at his chest, before his palm sparked, and the nitroglycerin sweat ignited.
