Before Momo's parents left to get back to work there was a small party to celebrate my staying there. Although Momo's dad made it sound like he just won a fight. Even the staff joined in, while maintaining a respectful attitude with their bosses. My favorite part was when one of the maids tried to sneak off at the end of the celebration with a plate full of shrimp. Turns out she was gonna sneak them to her room to enjoy alone. It was fun watching the other maids drag her away kicking and screaming "I know my rights! You can't do this to me!"
It was around 9 when the head butler(I can't believe they have so many servants they need one in charge.) reminded the parents that they needed to head out for their flight. After giving their daughter a hug goodbye and Mr. Yaoyorozu giving me a firm handshake they left in a fancy car driven by another worker I haven't met yet. Momo stayed outside waving goodbye to her parents until they were out of sight while I waited next to her since I though it would be rude to head in first. It was a few minutes after they left that I noticed that even though Momo still had a smile on her face as she looked at where her parents left it didn't have the energy it had earlier inside. Even though my track record for talking about important things was pretty bad I decided to try my chance again by tapping her shoulder, causing her to look at me with watery eyes. " Hey you okay there?" real good opening line Parker.
She took a moment to clean her eyes before answering me "yeah….. Yeah it's just every time they leave I feel a little bit lonelier you know? The worker's here are like family but still there is still a distance there because this is a job for them. It's the main reason I became such a bookworm. While others had friends to visit or talk to for entertainment I turned to stories and history."
As she was telling me this she started to stop looking at me and started to look down, feeling even worse as she explained her problem. I wish I knew how to help but this problem is something I can't fix alone so I did the only thing I could do. I put my hands gently at her shoulders careful to hold her but not grab her with force. Surprised by me touching her she looked at my eyes again as a told her what came to mind. "Listen Momo, I can never replace the relationship between you and your family. And I can't go back in time and meet you before. But what I will do is help you realize you are not alone anymore. If you truly believe you have no friends then consider me the first one. In fact I'll proudly accept that title if you let me."
All she did was look at me with wide eyes and mouth partially open, her face looking a bit more colored than usual. It quickly changed into a teary smile with water dropping out of her eyes. "thank you Parker."
"Call me Peter, usually people only say my last name when screaming in rage."
She nodded along with my request with a confused look on her face. " Of course and please call me Momo. But why would they be-"
Not wanting to make up a lie in the moment I quickly said that is a story for another time and that we should head in. As we were walking up the stairs I turned back to Momo to tell her one more thing "oh and Momo."
"hm? Yes Peter?"
"I'm willing to bet most of the class wants to be your friend you just need to take a chance."
After that we walked in to see the servants working on cleaning up the mess of the party. Knowing we needed to be at school early we decided to head to bed.
The next day actually started out pretty normal. Turns out they still taught basic education in the mornings. An example being the English class in the morning. Actually I wasn't in that class or math. Because I would obviously be ahead in both classes they had me work with a female teacher in a suit by the name of Nemuri Kayama to decide what to do with my extra time. When I asked her about herself as a hero she told me her hero name was Midnight and that she would recommend me joining back with the support department as a part time student their. She said my other choice was accounting since the gym was always being used at all time during the school day, meaning I couldn't workout on my own. After spending the rest of the time doing the paperwork to get me into the proper class she sent me to the cafeteria when the bell rang.
When I arrived at the cafeteria I saw most of my classmates were already in line for food. I ran to them barely getting the spot behind Izuku as they welcomed me back. As the line moved forward they asked me about why I wasn't in math and English with them. "Well English is my native language you know? Plus they already know that I know mast of the math they teach here. So instead we were trying to decide-"
I stopped talking as I was taken by surprise by the person serving us food. It looked like a person that was made out of metal cooking wear while wearing chefs cloths. When the others turned to look at what I was staring at they had a look of surprise as well but I could tell for a different reason. "Hi there I'm the lunch hero "Lunch Rush". ill be serving your meal from now on. So would you like meal set A, B, or C?"
I went for the burger dish while the others went for the rice dishes. At the end of the line was a cashier that charged us for our meals. Thankfully it was pretty cheap even by fast food standards. When we found a table to sit Izuku didn't touch his food much as he was to busy freaking out over meeting another hero. Tenya and Ochako gave him his attention while eating, every once in a while adding their own comment. I was to busy eating my burger. Somehow I twas the best burger I ever had, no more like the best thing I ever ate. That mans power really is food.
When we were finished eating we quickly headed back to our class seeing as lunch was almost over. Turns out we were the last to arrive since everyone else was already there talking with someone. On my way to my seat I waved a Momo with her giving me a small wave back while talking to Tsu. At the ring of the bell everyone quickly got to their seats waiting for the next instructor. In a strong voice someone screamed "I AM HERE!" The door was quickly opened with ALL MIGHT leaning forward using the doors frame to stop himself from falling. "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!"
Very quickly all my classmates started gasping with wonder letting out comments about the rumors being true and how excited they were to be taught by him. Tsu commented that he was wearing his silver age costume. Huh wonder how many costumes he's had. I started to wonder what other spider-man suits would look like. While I was imagining different spidey suits ALL MIGHT was talking about how important this class was and what we were gonna do. Baku screaming "fight training!" pulled me from my imagination. Paying attention to the teacher again he said "One of the keys of being a hero is looking good!"
He pointed at the classroom wall as it slid open to reveal suitcases that were numbered. Everyone got super excited at the site of the costumes they ordered. In the far back was my case number 21. as we were getting our cases ALL MIGHT told us to get changed in the locker rooms and to head to training ground beta. We all replied with a "Yes sir!" and headed of to try on our new suits.
As we were walking to the changing rooms everyone started to talk about some of the requests made for their suits and wither it was to make it look cooler or add to the effect of their quirk. I simply listened to others conversations wondering what stuff was added to their suits. Tenya kept pretty hush about his inspiration for the suit but did say that his family knew the company they chose to make his. The guy with red hair started to talk about his. "that's cool. I had to keep mine minimal since armor is kinda pointless for my quirk and and most fabric get ripped. I had to go in multiple times just to test out different types of pants since I kept ripping them. Plus I had to get fitted twice since when I activate my quirk my size grows by like an inch. Before that I didn't really know my size. What about you guys?"
Almost everyone answered the same that it was also their first time getting fitted. I didn't answer because I never actually checked my size. I remember when making my original suit it was through trial and error that I was able to get the somewhat perfect size. Still a little tight in some areas. With this suit I made it a bit bigger than my old one since I have gotten bigger but the only parts I checked was the gloves and mask to make sure their tech worked fine. Otherwise the tech in the suit was tested on a dummy that the school had to report any damage the wearer would receive if they were wearing it.
Thankfully the suit was a snug fit for me. By the time everyone else was ready I was still checking the systems in my mask to make sure my suit was ready to go so I just told everyone to go ahead of me. Through the door I could hear the guys talking to the girls who were already changed. As the sound of them walking started to fade the door to the changing room opened again for someone In a green suit to run out the changing room and catch up with the group. Even though it looked nothing like the goblins getup I still had a flash to our fight before Norman died. I shook my head to force myself to focus and realized that my self check system said the suit was ready to go.
I ran strait towards where the practise was being held getting a few weird looks from students from other classes. When I arrived it was as I expected and I was the last to arrive. Before I could be seen I could hear ALL MIGHTS loud voice asking Izuku "Young Midoriya have you seen young Parker?"
Before anyone could answer I quickly raised my voice to be heard as I ran in "I'm here! I'm here, sorry took a minute to get used to the suit. While the others took the chance to look at my suit I also used the chance to look at what the others came up with. Out of the 20 other students 3 stood out the most. Baku looked like a military man switched his hands with grenades. Next was the person dressed like a knight in shining armor. I'm pretty sure it was Tenya because of the car parts coming out of the legs. Although they do look a little different. But the one who caught my attention the most was the guy wearing the green bunny suit. It's obvious it was the person who left before me but I couldn't even focus on the here and now all I could do was look at him and see green goblin. It was getting hard to breath, even though the suits look nothing alike the pointy ears all of a sudden shrank to a more realistic size. The person got taller and slimmer. Instead of it being mostly green instead I saw most of it being hidden under purple clothing with the belt now sporting a pumpkin on it. What scared me the most was the smile of the mask. Now it was the real smile of the goblin before he laughed, the sound drowning out any other noise. All I could do was stand there as he laughed his crazy laugh, frozen solid from fear as he asked me "What's wrong Petey? Aren't you happy to see your friends dad?"
"YOUNG PARKER!"
ALL MIGHTS scream pulled me out of my nightmare, making me look around to see everyone looking at me with a since of weariness. Not wanting to look at the guy in green again I put my attention on ALL MIGHT at the front. While the big smile was still there it was obvious in the tone of voice he was using he was worried. "are you okay?
"uh yeah…yeah, sorry about that just looked like someone else I know."
"OK good cause for a second it looked like you were ready to attack young Midoriya there."
I instantly felt bad for the negative feelings a had towards him. I turned torwards Izuku and apologized while bowing as low as I though I should. He instantly forgave me letting me know there was no hard feelings. Before the awkward moment could continue ALL MIGHT told the class to follow him towards the middle of the city where we stopped in front of a couple of buildings.
He let us know it was time for combat training to begin which was followed by questions by my classmates. First was Tenya who asked if we were gonna be doing urban battles like the entrance exam but ALL MIGHT declined that thought by explaining that while news showed fighting on the outside most of the important fights happen indoors. He even gave some examples of where these could happen. While I could agree that the smart villains kept their activities quite most of the things he listed wouldn't even be able to be interrupted by heroes since they are under law. This was one of the major flaws I found with this worlds legal system. Turns out more than a third of the arrest made by crimes used in the examples were let go since the heroes didn't follow police protocol. Because of when I was a vigilante I was able to go into restricted areas but if a legal hero here was to do that the evidence gained would be null in the court which has lead to many criminals being released. Besides I think the first goal for teaching new heroes should be how to quickly apprehend criminals no matter the location. Heroes here tend to destroy property when fighting in the open.
He then started to explain how today's course would go "you will be split into teams of two so that we will have 2v2 matches indoors. Now because we are uneven the extra will get to decide wither to join a team or go solo."
Tsu asked a question before he could continue "Isn't this kinda advance?"
"The best way to learn is through personal experience!"
After that my classmates started to rapid fire questions at ALL MIGHT before he had a chance to answer even one of them. It was easy to see he was starting to get nervous, even whispered about how we weren't giving him a chance to finish talking. He coughed into his hand and pulled out a small book that looked even smaller in his giant hands. He then gave us the battle situation. "There is a bomb hidden in the building somewhere with a team inside protecting it. That is the villain team. The other team, the hero team will try to locate and deactivate the bomb. There is a time limit before the bomb explodes making the villains lose."
I quickly raised my hand getting his attention and nodded torwards me to ask my question. " Sir why are the villains still there? I mean the point of the bomb is to destroy the building so shouldn't they be trying to get away? Also if there worried about the time limit why not use remote detonator so that it blows up as soon as they get out the building?"
It took me a moment of poking holes in the lesson plan to realize all my classmates were staring at me. ALL MIGHT himself was looking at me while shaking. In a voice that easily shows how sad he was for feeling insulted for the lesson he simply said the reason doesn't matter and to hurry up and draw to decide your partner. When Tenya asked why lottery to decide our partner Izuku explained that we don't always know which hero we might end up partnering up with on the field. Looking at my paper it had the letter k. when I looked around all might let me know that meant I was the extra so I could decide if I wanted to have a team join me or if a team could ask for me as backup. It was funny seeing Momo cringe after seeing who her partner was. It was obvious her partner was happy to be with her because of how much skin she was showing. i still wonder if her parents know what she chose for her costume, I mean even black cat covered up more than that. It's gonna suck for her come winter. Otherwise yeah she looks great.
Putting his hands into two separate boxes ALL MIGHT pulled out a white ball and a black one from each one. The white one had a K on it while the black one had a G. he let us know that meant that I would be the hero team on offense while Jiro and Kaminari would be villains defending the bomb. He told the other students to head into another building so they could watch the fight from cameras set up. Before he left ALL MIGHT gave each of us some rope stating that if someone gets wrapped with it then they out out for the rest of the match. After that he went inside the building with the rest of the student while my opponents went inside to prepare to fight me. I just stood there nervous but excited for the round to start.
Momo P.O.V
I was with the rest of the students inside the viewing room as we were waiting for ALL MIGHT to start the match. While waiting I was forcing Mineta to focus on our conversation instead of my boobs but all I could get was that he could pull the balls from his head and that would make them sticky. Apparently depending on how he was feeling the stronger he felt the stronger the glues strength. The only thing that doesn't stick to them is Mineta himself. Memorizing this information I turned my attention to the screens to look at team G inside the room with the bomb. Because of the mic inserted into the cameras we could hear them plan. Apparently they decided to wait in the room together since it would be 2v1 so that they were guaranteed an advantage instead of sending one to fight fight someone when they don't know what he can do. Looking away from their screen I watched as Peter did some stretches, while watching I was wondering to myself if I would have done what he did and remained solo or asked for aid. Sure my quirk isn't battle oriented but I believe in my fight training enough. Of course there is always the fact that some of my classmates quirks made normal combat pointless. When ALL MIGHT made them start I still haven't made up my mind. Instead I put my focus on the screen showing Peter in his suit. Instead of heading in the building through the front door he made a big jump torwards the building and sticked to the wall with his hands and feet. This cause gasps of surprise at the idea more than the ability. He started to crawl up the building checking each window for the bomb before finding it through the fourth window. Inside the room Kaminari was watching as Jirou had her ear plugs in the wall trying to listen for Peter.
After a minute Kaminari asked for an update "Hey any idea where he is yet?"
Jirou spent another minute focusing on any sounds before answering "it's weird, I can hear him getting closer but it's still at a distance. It's almost like…..he was outside the whole time!"
Quickly both teammates turned towards the window where Peter was crying to quietly sneak it. Kirishima made a comment saying that it wasn't manly trying to win all sneaky like that. I defended peters tactic by arguing that it would be more important to disarm a bomb before a fight instead of starting conflict that could damage said bomb making it go off even sooner than intended. Turning back to the fight Kaminari warned Jirou to get out of the room. Because she was already near the door she was quickly on the other side with the wall blocking her. When he heard her give the OK he quickly activated his quirk causing electricity to blast all around him. While the electricity did hit Peter other than to put his hands up he showed no reaction as the electricity rolled around him. After taking a moment to check himself he calmed down letting Kaminari know he should safe his energy. "sorry but your gonna have to fight fist to fist."
As Kaminari stopped his attack you could see the panic at the thought of close combat with an unknown fighter. Before Peter could go on the offensive Jirou ran back into the room and stood near her teammate, plugging her ear jack into her boots and sending what looked like a blast of sound towards peter and causing the wall behind him. The other items near Peter were sent flying causing some damage to the wall from impact helping show the force of her blast. Peter himself wasn't pushed back but couldn't move forward when she was blasting. After her 6th blast Peter shot his hand out and did a motion with his hand causing something weird to come out of his wrist and ended wrapped around Jirou's boots leaving her stuck in place and blocking her from attacking with her shows speakers. After giving them a moment to realize that their attacks were useless he offed them the chance to surrender.
Instead of replying with words Kaminari charged towards Peter while he just stood there, obviously wanting to test his opponents some more. Kaminari just swung wildly at Peter hoping to get a hit while Peter was easily dodging all his hits even flipping over Kaminari when he tried to tackle him. Taking the chance Peter used the substance he shot earlier to stick Kaminari to the floor. Turning towards Jirou and told her 'don't move" obviously poking fun at her inability to move. I heard a few classmates groan at his attempt at humor while Peter claimed victor by touching the bomb.
"AND THIS MATCH GOES TO TEAM K! please head on back to the surveillance room to discuss your outcome."
Peter P.O.V
After helping Jirou and Kaminari by taking my webs off them so they could move again I walked down with them torwards the camera room while trying to make light conversation. It was obvious by the short answers that they were answering by that they were feeling down about their loss. I felt kinda bad, I mean sure I wasn't gonna throw the match but still. It was bad luck for them for having the powers of my old villains. When making the suit I made it with them in thought. For electro I put a small machine that activated when activated that made an electrical shield around me so that electricity couldn't touch me. Obviously still a work in progress. For shocker I added a special material that was only found in this world into the web lines making it so that the high decibels I would be attacked with would be lowed enough that it wouldn't cause any serious damage and if it was a powerful enough blast, it would lower the strength. I also made the suit fire resistant, hard to cut(it was either block cut or stab and I feel like I can dodge a stab) and small sensors around the suit so that if I do get attacked by electricity the suits magnet will automatically start up without needing me to manually do it. Plus a few other tricks but that's for a different time.
When we arrived at the surveillance room we were welcomed with a clap of congratulations for me and a better luck next time for team G. ALL MIGHT walked torwards us and congratulated us on our fight. He then gave me MVP for the match. When asking for comments Momo raised her hand who was quickly given the go. She stated because it was a bad match up in my favor since it's obvious my quirk makes me mostly immune to theirs. Not wanting their to be a misunderstanding I corrected her. "Actually my quirk had nothing to do with it. When I made this suit I added a bunch of safety measures and their quirks just so happened to be part of them. Truth be told if the shock was a little stronger it would have blown throw my defense."
ALL MIGHT opened his moth to make a comment but Tsu voiced her opinion before ALL MIGHT could talk "I'm surprised your costume agency let you put so much stuff into it, especially with our budget. "
"Actually I made it all myself. Getting the parts themselves took up most of the budget and none of the agencies could make the suit how I wanted with what little I had left over and those that offered to try were asking for more than the allowance given. So I just offered to make it myself and boom, hero suit."
Decided we spent enough time talking ALL MIGHT got our attention by starting to draw for the next match. While he did this I looked back at Momo and saw the small pout she was making at me. No doubt mad about being wrong and getting called out in front of everyone like that. I'll have to apologize later.
I watched as the white ball came out with the letter B while the black ball had a the two teams went to get prepared I stood watching the big screen while talking to Tenya who was asking if there was anything I could do for his costume. "I mean sure I could give it a look but I would probably add small stuff piece by piece. Don't want to make any drastic changes and have there be an accident because we tried to force it you know?"
Thankfully he agreed with me as we watched both teams prepare to battle. While watching team I the thing I noticed most was the gloves in midair started to go limp as if they were no longer being worn. I asked Tenya about that and he explained that was one our classmates abilities but also said he wasn't sure about anything else related to her. Too curious to wait patiently I walked away from Tenya to where Momo was to try and ask her. Because she was with most of the class girls I started to get more nervous the closer I got to her group. I felt like that first day of school when trying to talk to lizz's friend. Thankfully wearing a masks always makes this stuff easier so I got behind her and tapped her shoulder.
She made a surprised face to see me but it quickly went back to her usual calm one. "Hello Peter, how can I help you?"
"Hey Momo I was just wondering what's up with the floating gloves."
She took a glance at the screen to see what I was talking about. "oh you mean Hagakure? She's a classmate who's quirk gives her the power of invisibility. Sadly the downside it she can't turn it off nor can she hide cloths."
I took another look at the screen to now see the gloves on the floor with nothing else floating. Holy crap there is an actual naked girl in public. Apparently I spent too long looking at the screen because Momo had to get my attention by snapping her fingers in front of me. She gave me a glaring look as I scratched the back of my head out of embarrassment. When ALL MIGHT gave the signal to start we paid attention to the screens again. Walking inside Todoroki ordered his partner to stay outside. Heeding his advice Shouji stepped out just in time to not get frozen solid with the rest of the building.
The cold temperatures even reached over here making the room freezer temperature. Even ALL MIGHT was shivering like the rest of the class. The only one not shivering was me because of the thick layer of my suit and since I made it for all temperatures of the year. Looking at team I it was plain to see that it was checkmate. Even though one was invisible it was obvious both had their bare feet stuck to the floor via frozen ice. When Todoroki arrived to the room Ojiro got into a defensive position but was warned against it by Todoroki. Being told that that he could damage himself trying to force himself out the ice wouldn't be worth it, Ojiro put his hands down in surrender.
After that time passed pretty quickly as I watched the other teams go up. I made sure to watch everyone use their quirks and their limits. It was funny watching Momo and Mineta win by locking down the room. Although i did want to slap Mineta for the way he was looking at Momo At the end of the class the only team not having gone was Baku's team. It was obvious with every draw he was getting angrier about not getting the chance to fight. He only smiled a bit when Izuku lost his teams match against Tsu and Tokoyami, mostly since he never used his quirk in the match. Of course no one blamed him since it was common knowledge that his causes serious self injury when used. Besides the blasts made by those swings seem more like a liability than anything else. Either way ALL MIGHT gave Tenya and Baku the option to wait next class for a fight or to take on a challenger.
Tenya turned towards Baku wanting to decide wither or not to take the offer. "Bakugou I believe we should-"
"Just shut up and get ready, were fighting. Now I don't want to fight any random person, I wanna fight Parker."
Confused why I was singled out I asked why and was told in a reason that felt kind of pity for me. "tell you the truth I wanna beat the crap outta Deku real bad but every time I look at you I just remember you stealing my spot at the top. I know I can Deku's ass anytime I want, anyone who see's what I can do will know it. But unless I beat you directly I won't know for sure if you really stole that spot or not! So don't wuss out and fight me!"
"Wait Bakugou I understanding wanting to challenge someone for your own personal reasons but this exercise it a team battle which means that you should consider my feelings as well if you are going to challenge Parker."
"are you scared?" "wha?" "I said are you scared to fight him? Cause if so I don't get why your here then. It's our job to fight for the top spot, literally in this case. Or is it cause your all buddy-buddy with the guy?"
Before Tenya could continue the argument I quickly accepted the challenge. When ALL MIGHT asked for a volunteer to team up with me I turned the idea down stating "if they want to see what the number 1 can do then I'll show them."
I used the time I was given ahead to set up some sensors I kept hidden in the suits belt for situations of defense. After making sure all sensors were linked up to my mask I headed to the room with the bomb. First I blocked the entrance by webbing shut the door and anything big enough for them to enter through. Then I webbed the bomb to the roof of the room so that it would be tricky for them to reach it. Knowing Baku wanted a direct fight I left by a window I left open so I could jump out of it. While free falling after making sure both of them were inside the building I webbed close my exit and entered through a lower level window. Checking my sensors I saw I was on the 4th floor now right below the bomb while Tenya and Baku were separate seeing as one was already on the 3rd floor moving at high speed and checking each room. The other was moving at a slower pace but was heading strait up leaving the searching to the other. A good plan since that means it would only take a few more minutes to find the bomb room.
Deciding to go for a sneak attack I hid at one of the stairs corners waiting for Tenya to show up. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long for before I could reach the steps I swung around the corner using the wall to hold me and made contact with metal armor. After knocking him to the ground I webbed the stairs behind me making it almost impossible to pass without fighting me. Tenya quickly reported finding and making contact with me. As soon as he reported I started to hear explosions coming from the floor below us with them getting louder as it got closer.
Quickly trying to use my distraction as an advantage Tenya ran towards me with his fist cocked to his me. Not wanting to take my chances I pulled out the capture rope and waited until he swung before barely dodging his attack and grabbed him by the armor with my other hand. Not giving him a chance to try anything I slammed him into the ground hard enough knock the breath out of him but I was careful not to make any serious damage. I used the chance of him bending forward to wrap the rope around his body officially putting him out of the match.
Just in time Baku appeared at the other side of the hallway to see me getting back up while letting Tenya move out the way for the impending fight. Walking slowly torwards me he started to let small explosion pop out of his hands as a form of intimidation. "Don't think just because you beat a bunch of low tear losers that you can beat me. Remember this, I'm gonna be top dog of the hero world and I'll take down anyone who get in my way."
"Then get over here and prove it then bombi."
Irked at the nickname he set of an explosion behind him sending him flying at me with the right hand ready to strike. Like most other people I fight I'm sure if I add enough strength to my hit I could knock him out but I wanted to see something for myself. After swiping his attack to the side making the explosion miss. Afterword I grabbed him by the chest strap and through him across the hall making him bounce on the floor a bit. Getting up he had an even angrier face than before. "Why aren't you taking this serious?! I know you can throw a punch or are you like Deku and think you can laugh at me. Well guess what I'll make you regret holding back!"
After that he would continue to attack me, sometimes it would be wild swings and other times he would try to go for a combo. The entire time I didn't let him touch me but I also didn't counter either. I would just listen as he complained about me thinking I'm better than him when he knows he's superior. "So that's it, your more superior than me?"
"Not just you! Even as a kid I've always known that I would be at the top and now you people dare challenge me for it?! All of a sudden Deku has some great Quirk?! and you, you just show up and take my spot! I bet your both having a ton of fun having a laugh at me huh?! Well I don't care about your dream, all that matters is that I crush you! All that matters is I'm on top."
I just let him continue talk, each word making me mad. Not just because I hated how he was acting but because it made me think this is how I was when I first gained my powers. Made me realize this could have been me. Having had enough I countered his latest swing making contact with his stomach with my fist which sent him flying with spit coming out of his mouth. I put more force than normal into the punch causing him to crash into the wall making cracks appear. It took him a second to get up because of the coughing. "You say you deserve to stand at the top. That you deserve more because your stronger than others. You hate those you consider below you because they have dreams that could block yours. You say you hate me? WELL I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! EVERYTHING YOU SAID MAKES ME WANT TO PUNCH YOU THROUGH THAT WALL. But I'll settle for making you realize you will never know the feeling of completing your dream. For even if one day the board does say you have the first spot you will never be happy knowing that you could never beat me."
After listening to me talk Baku no longer had the angry look he had before, no it was more like a crazed look. His face was completely neutral, no scowl or snarl. The only indication of emotion was his wide eyes, so open I could see the red lines in them adding to the crazed look he was sending me. It was at this moment one of his grenade shaped gauntlets glowed red for a second and he spoke in a voice so monotone that I seriously wondered if it was the same guy as a moment ago. "I'll never beat you huh? Let's put that to the test. Did you know that my explosions are my sweat that have explosive properties? Well these gauntlets aren't just for show. The entire time of me wearing them they have been collecting my sweat for one big blast. Let's see your quirk and stupid suit take this!"
"BAKUGOU STOP! YOU'LL KILL HIM"
"He's tough you've seen it, besides he'll be fine if he dodges!"
He pulled the trigger on his gauntlet which send a powerful blast towards me with no way to escape because of no windows or doors to jump into. The other hallways were on his side of the hall and I could never make it in time. I did the only thing that came to mind and crossed my arms in front of my face hoping to at least spare the mask.
Momo P.O.v
Inside the surveillance room I held onto Tsu as we felt the shaking of building next door, the camera's view being blocked by the large amount of smoke made from the blast. After calming down I turned to ALL MIGHT to see him also shaken by the blast. "ALL MIGHT-sensei you must stop the fight now! There is no way this can be allowed in a mock battle."
"Young Yaoyorozu I understand your worry but first we must look at the situation. Now as for you Bakugou another shot like that and you automatically lose! Remember damaging the building with a bomb in it is never a good idea villain or hero."
Ochacko and Ashido spoke up together complaining that the matched should be stopped. Before ALL MIGHT could calm them down the smoke cleared showing Peter still standing with his hands in front of him as a form of defense. Most of the upper half of his suit was destroyed with the pieces that were left didn't hide his skin or the light burn marks. He put his hands down and started panting, obviously exhausted after taking that blast.
Some classmates started to question how he was still standing with so little damage from such a powerful blast. Todoroki explained it was most likely the suit that took most of the heat from the blast while peter took the force of the blast. I added my own thought to his "that is possible, especially since if around the end of the blast the force then got rid of the suit explaining the light burns on him."
As we discussed the chances of taking that blast one of Peters glass eyes in his mask fell off showing an angry eye focused on Bakugou. Bakugou not liking the challenging glare ran at Peter, when he got close enough he faked a swing and jumped escaping peters punch and hitting him with a explosion at his exposed back. "don't forget the moment you lost to me loser!"
Bakugou prepped his right arm back and swung it in a wide arc obviously going for a powerful hit powered with an explosion. Peter was barley standing strait again when Bakugou's swing made contact with his head.
CRACK!
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
We all watched as when Bakugou's arm was made to bend backwards when he couldn't make Peter's head move. Now he took a few steps back as he cradled his arm while trying to stop himself from screaming anymore from the pain.
"Holy shit! Did you guys see that?!" "I can't believe he still had enough strength to do that." "I think I'm gonna be sick." "that was not very shiny at all." "How strong would you have to be to take that hit with no reaction, hell he even reversed the situation by breaking his arm." "plus it's obvious that Bakugou is no slouch. In fact I would say he's one of the top fighters here. To do that trick of going over Parker would require a little more than simple planning. So taking the power of the blast, his obvious above average strength and the powerful material used in his gauntlets it's obvious that any normal, no even advanced person would at the minimum be put unconscious.
All around me my classmates were talking about Bakugou's injury, taking sides if he deserved it or not for blasting Peter. I didn't say a word as I watched peter walked up to Bakugou and told him to surrender. Bakugou didn't say a word, probably couldn't with all the pain his arm was causing him. But it was obvious looking in his eyes he refused to give. The talking stopped as soon as ALL MIGHT said the battle was over and that the villain won. Some called out that there was still 6 minutes left but it was obvious no teacher could allow the fighting to continue with their students in their conditions. Out of one of the rooms came out a shaken Lida who went to check on his fellow classmates. After Bakugou screamed at him to leave him alone Lida tried talking to Peter but Peter was to busy focusing his attention on Baku. He was snapped out of his trance when Lida touched his shoulder and answered he was fine, just a bad tan. The surveillance room was quiet as we waited for our classmates to arrive. When ALL MIGHT suggested to Bakugou to see the nurse he glared at his teacher and stated he would wait until after class. It was obvious that he was slowly getting used to the pain but it was also obvious that that it was still affecting him since he was cradling it so closely.
"WELL DONE YOUNG PARKER, YOUNG BAKUGOU AND YOUNG LIDA! LET'S START THE THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS. MVP IS YOUNG PARKER SO WELL START WITH HIM. PLEASE START POSITIVE!"
Todoroki took my comment about webbing all entrances and going on the offensive covering both to the best of his ability alone. After that I also commented his quick thinking to get rid of the most dangerous one in terms of objective rules. "Considering the fact all he would have to do is get past Parker then Bakugou could keep him busy while Lida would reach the room and use what extra time he had to get to the bomb. Instead he made sure that they wouldn't have that chance."
Everyone in class looked at me and Todoroki in awe with some irk since we said everything they had to say. Afterword's ALL MIGHT instructed us to give positive comments on the other team. Other than taking advantage of Lida's speed I couldn't say much positive about the team. When it was time for the negative comments I was the first to talk. "Lida didn't do anything wrong per say, maybe he could have tried to stall for Bakugou to arrive but seeing as Parker could easily counter his attacks and the hallway didn't have much room there wouldn't be much room for the two of them to work together in the fight. As for Parker himself he took to long to subdue Bakugou, letting his continuously letting him attack. Which comes with I believe to be the biggest mistake made in the match, Bakugou got so emotional that without thinking he let out a blast that could have destroyed the building and even could have made the bomb go off making the whole hero mission pointless. "
ALL MIGHT simply looked at me while shaking, making me feel like I stole something from him. "YES WELL YOU HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING BUT LET ME SAY THAT BAKUGOU MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE WHEN CHALLENGING SOMEONE SUPERIOR IN PHYSICAL STRENGTH IN THEIR TERRITORY. WHEN SOMEONE HITS FAR HARDER YOU DON'T TRY TO MATCH IT BUT GO AROUND IT. NOW I THINK THAT COVERS EVERYTHING! YOUNG PARKER AND YOUNG BAKUGOU PLEASE HEAD TORWARDS THE NURSES OFFICE TO GET HEALED! AS FOR YOU YOU MIDORIYA PLEASE COME WITH ME TO THE TEACHERS OFFICE. NOW WATCH STUDENTS AS I GO AWAY LIKE A HEROOOOOO!"
He ran away quickly while holding onto Midoriya leaving a dust of cloud and a class of students in awe at his speed while carrying someone. Although instead of commenting and gushing over him like the rest of the class I helped walk Peter to the nurse. We stayed quit on the walk over. There was things I wanted to ask Peter but know school was not the place to ask, besides I would simply wait until we get home to our privacy. Besides I didn't feel like talking with Bakugou right behind us glaring as we all headed to the same place.
Thankfully our visit to the nurses office was short because of her quick healing quirk. Apparently most of the damage was from the burns. Bakugou apparently didn't have enough energy for a full recovery but she said he could come again tomorrow morning so she can finish healing him. When we arrived back to the classroom changed everyone else was still there talking. Quickly Peter became the center of attention as people reintroduced themselves to him. Every once in a while Peter would get someone's name wrong making him apologize and others laugh. Mina switched her attention to me and pulled me aside as I watched Peter smile awkwardly, feeling happy we were making friends.
While I was having trouble trying to talk to multiple people at once. I'm pretty sure my face got a little redder every time I said someones name wrong. Thankfully a distraction in the form of Baku appeared behind me wit his arm in a sling now practically parted the sea of classmates making an easy road towards his desk so he could grab his stuff. Not even saying a word to anyone he grabbed his bag and left, only making eye contact as he was walking towards the door, then he was gone. I was still looking at the door when the guy with the tail made the comment of that being awkward. Not even a minute later Izuku appeared at the door winded and asking for Baku. When we explained how he already left he went running after him. I wanted to follow but Momo walked up to me with a red face and told me our ride was waiting for us. When I asked about her red head she gave me a glare that obviously stated 'DROP IT' and so I did. After saying goodbye to everyone we headed out front where Izuku and ALL MIGHT were talking. Baku was nowhere in sight so I guess the talk was over.
The car ride home was pretty quiet itself, Momo kept looking out the window while using the reflection to look at me. I wanted to do something about the silence but didn't know what to do. When we arrived home she whispered to keep my door open and went inside first, confusing me and making me wonder if I heard her right. Even though we had dinner together as usual although this time the room was quiet. When I asked her questions she would keep her answers short although I kept noticing her looking at the workers. I guess she wants to talk in private.
After dinner we headed to each of our rooms with me leaving mine partially open. About an hour later Momo knocked and came in when I gave the OK. Seeing me on the bed she headed strait torwards my computer chair and sat there not saying anything.
"um, Momo? You okay there?"
"huh? Oh yeah just…uh it's actually my first time in a boys room."
Great now that made me nervous. It also made me realize how cute she looked with her hair down in her pajamas. DAM YOU HORMONES! after a moment of weird silence Momo gave a fake cough catching my attention again. "Peter, the main reason I came over is because I wanted to ask you something. It might even be personal."
"uh sure, ask away."
"Why did you act the way you did against Bakugou? You easily had that match in the bag and yet not only did you hold back but lost control. What did you mean by you hate people like him?"
I stayed silent while she looked at me. I couldn't even look at her as I started to think over what to tell her. I felt like the smart thing would be to make something up but every time I thought up a lie I would start to feel sick. In fact I started to remember how I felt before getting to school. I almost didn't want to go. I wanted to take the chance to lead a normal life. They don't need spider-man here. I never took the though serious bet it was always there whispering, like another voice of reason. But I kept remembering my code. And so long as I have these powers spider-man is here to stay.
When I looked at Momo she was giving me a serious look waiting for my reply. It reminded me of the look aunt may would give me about what I was doing. Am I gonna continue to do the same thing again? Isn't this my chance to finally come clean? Should I even try to get attached if my goal is to leave? These questions kept popping into my head but at the same time I was tired of being alone. Back home I was able to power through thanks to the support of my friends. I knew I was their defense. That's gone now. My classmates won't need me, this world doesn't. I feel like my purpose to fight is gone. So I look at Momo and decided what I'm gonna tell her.
Thanks for reading this far. sorry if you actually waited for this story, life gets in the way sometimes.
The suit I imagined for peter here was the ps4 main game suit since I felt that is what he would go for. Also hope the fights were done okay, I wanted to show peter as being on a different level than most others. Please review if you think if peter should trust Momo with the truth or should he keep it on the down low or should he tell someone else. I want to find someone he can confide in, also thinking about kicking out one of the students from class 1A to show how serious this school can actually be. Hope you enjoyed reading and please stay healthy
thanks for the reviews i think i fixed a few things.
