Chapter 5: The Green Valley
Peter, on his Red-and-Black Suit, was sitting on a rooftop with a bagel in hand and his phone on other. He was scanning the latest news of the masked vigilante, which is him. Earlier, someone recorded the whole fight between Endeavor and Spider-Man which left the civilians enraged that the Number Two Hero was attacking the vigilante, on top of that, half of them knew that the vigilante was a teenager as it was revealed by the police statement a day ago. Since that fight, he has been getting a lot of support to leave the vigilante alone or their will be riot.
"Damn... I should have known that there would someone recording the fight," Peter said. "Then again, my spider sense doesn't work if something isn't a threat to me."
"Is that how you dodge all of the Pros' attacks?" A man said unexpectedly in a tired tone causing Peter leap backward across the rooftop. Aizawa wasn't even surprise anymore, "Relax, I'm not here to arrest you like last time."
"Why? And how did you find me?" Peter asked, not noticing he wasn't wearing his mask.
"I followed the webs that you left behind when you swing. It was quite a pain to spot them since they dissolve within' an hour," Aizawa answered as Peter was frozen from the answer. "As to why I won't arrest you, the Pro Heroes and police won't arrest you on the spot, not after the fight between you and Endeavor was revealed, but it doesn't mean you are still free to roam around."
Peter sighs since they won't be going after him for a while, "That makes my job a little easier."
Aizawa sighs, "Like I said, we may not allowed to arrest you yet but you aren't free from the law. I came here to offer you a choice."
"An offer? No thanks, I had a deal with the devil last time and I won't go through that again." Peter said as he shakes his head.
"You haven't even heard my offer yet," Aizawa stated. "The offer was either you surrender to the police before someone will take care of you... or enroll at U.A."
"Like I said, I ref- wait, U.A.? That prestigious school for elites?" Peter asked as Aizawa nodded. "Why would you let a 'criminal' attend the number one school in this country, if not, the entire world?"
Aizawa sighs, "It's because the principal of that school, Nezu, said so. There is one year left before the start of U.A., you will have to partake in the Written and Practical Exams in order to enroll at that school."
"Seriously? I may not look like it, but I'm over 38 years old," Peter said which widens Aizawa's eyes. "You may not believe me, but I'm not from around here, literally. I only came in this... place... to find the 6 things I'm looking for which I already explained it to you."
"38? I can't tell if you are joking or serious considering your attitude," Aizawa said. "Regardless, that won't stop you from enrolling at school since it's the law. If you keep on doing vigilantism, then the government has no choice but to call stronger and faster heroes from other countries to capture you. If they can't fulfill the job, then our Number One Hero will do the job."
Peter was shock by that, "Jeez, they will go that far to capture me huh? It's not the first time though."
Peter remembers the time when the police and heroes from his world hunted him down after they thought he killed Gwen Stacy. He was on the run for months with little food and water he had on him. Matthew Murdock, with the help of Professor X, were the ones who cleared his case which the heroes later felt bad and apologized to him for their ignorance, but he doesn't blame them since he'll do the exact same thing if he was on their position. It's easy to defeat the heroes here since they are kinda weak on this world compared to the Mutants and Inhumans, except Endeavor and probably All Might whom he has yet to face.
"If it makes you better, the principal will let you be one of the faculty members," Aizawa said which surprises Peter. "Do you have any teaching experience?"
Peter nods, "I've been teaching from various places of young heroes... from where I came from."
"You teach heroes? You really must be an adult if what you are saying is true," Aizawa said. "So, will you accept the offer?"
Peter was thinking about it. The school may be a hindrance on finding The Infinity Stones, but he can't find them if he doesn't know what he's doing. The more he tries to find the stones, the more obstacles he is going to face thus finding the stones would be difficult.
"I accept, but I have three conditions." Peter said.
Aizawa sighs since he expected this, "What is it?"
"One, I'm still allowed to hero work since I want to retire already. Two, I have full access on your Development Studios. Then three, I want to meet this principal." Peter answered.
"The third part isn't a problem, same with the second. However, I'm not sure of the first one." Aizawa said.
Peter sighs, "Look, these things I'm looking for are very dangerous and can't be use by anyone. I have used them before and stored them safety, but somehow they were stolen and transported in this country."
"What are these things you speak of?" Aizawa asked.
"That's where the third part comes in," Peter said. "I've heard about what the principal's Quirk is so he is smart enough to know that I'm not lying. I wanted, at first, to talk to Detective Tsukauchi since he is basically a lie detector Quirk, but I'll be arrested on the spot before I could say anything. And the fact that he is still recovering from Scar Mouth's flames."
"Fair point," Aizawa said then sighs. "Fine, I'll find something to make you a 'legalized' heroes after a talk with Nezu."
"Then I accept your offer," Peter said as he held his hand which Aizawa shakes it. "Also, do I have to take the enrollment test? The principal already assigned me as a teacher, whatever subject may that be."
"The test is only to record your scores, but you won't become a student though you'll still participate on events as a student." Aizawa explained.
"Then I guess I'll train for that test though I don't need to," Peter said. "Wait, can I still do 'hero' work now?"
Aizawa shakes his head, "No, otherwise, you can't enroll at U.A. now. You'll maybe do it after a talk with Nezu."
Peter sighs, "Well, at least there are some heroes helping the community like me, unlike where I'm from."
"You should have thought about that in the first place," Aizawa said. "Well then, see you... in a year."
"See you, Eraser Head." Peter said with a wave before Aizawa left the building. "I should read more about U.A. in case I missed something."
Peter was walking around the prefecture the entire day. There were constant villain attacks in the area, but the Pros immediately handled the situation though he did indirectly interfere by tripping some villains with his webs.
"These heroes handled the crimes so perfectly. I should have focus on finding the stone instead of doing this," Peter said. "This is not my world, and I would love to get home so I can finally be normal."
He then heard some noise on a beach full of garbage. It was the very same beach he woke up from after he entered this weird, quirky world. He silently leaps forward and hides behind a large object. He saw a kid with green hair and muscular man who is smiling. He recognizes the man, it's Number One Hero of Japan, All Might though he doesn't recognize the kid who he saved days ago from The Sludge Villain along with the aggressive ashen-haired boy.
"What are they doing?" Peter wondered as he went closely to hear their conversation.
The kid was picking some trashes, carrying a car wheel, and dragging stuff that was too heavy for the kid. Peter realized that the kid was training his body while the muscular man was his teacher. He never had to improve his muscles since the spider bite literally gave him one along with speed, strength, and the sixth sense.
"Come on, come on. If you want to enter U.A. then you must strengthen your body!" All Might said.
The kid was groaning in pain, "Yes sir!"
Peter was wincing the whole time since the kid's training was vigorous, but it was a good thing since he read that U.A. is tough to get in but it'll be easy for him, probably. He later remembers that the kid was the same kid he saved days ago and heard from the pride boy that he was Quirkless, meaning he doesn't have any superpowers. He admires the kid's determination to get in despite being Quirkless. He would have done the same if he weren't bitten by a radioactive spider.
"Put your back to it!" All Might ordered.
"Yes sir!" he said in a desperate tone.
The kid was groaning from dragging a refrigerator with another refrigerator on top. Peter wants to help the kid, but since The Number One is right there and could possibly capture him easily, he can't take the chance. Peter grabs his old camera, which miraculously still works after years of not using it, from his bag and takes a picture at the mentor and mentee.
"That's a keeper." Peter said as he puts the photo on his bag.
Suddenly, All Might turned skinny after a poof and coughs blood. Peter let out a little gasp and immediately closed his mouth with his hands. The two of them didn't seem to hear that which relieved him.
"You're doing to good, Young Midoriya," All Might said. "You keep this up and you'll become a proper vessel for One For All."
Izuku nods with a determined face, "Yes sir!"
Peter was wiping his ear with his pinky finger to make sure he heard correctly, "Did he said vessel? So, All Might can give his transfer his powers to him? So he has similar ability to Doctor Banner who can turn anyone into Hulk-like creatures with his gamma radiation blood like the time when he gave some of his blood to his cousin who became the heroine 'She-Hulk' or when Emil Blonsky injected some of the blood and turned himself into the monster, 'The Abomination'."
The two of them then depart. Peter was interested on the kid and wondered why All Might chose a Quirkless kid to give his power, but he can't ask directly since that's not his thing unless Parker Luck strikes.
The kid enters his apartment room who was greeted by a woman who is probably his mother. Peter propels himself forward unto the apartment rooftop to sleep for the night. He was thinking that he should greet them since it's a common thing here, maybe. He quietly lands in front of the door and knocks.
The one who opened the door was the mother, "Yes?"
Peter bows since it's a custom in Japan, "Hi, I'm your new neighbor. It's nice to meet you."
The mother bows in response, "Hi. Nice to meet you too. Would you like to come in?"
"Sure," Peter said as he takes off his shoes and enters her apartment. "Sorry if I disturb you or something."
The mother shakes his head, "No, no, it's fine. When did you move here?"
"Today," Peter said as he looks around the nice luxury. "Anyway, my name is Peter Parker."
"So you're an American. My name is Inko Midoriya," she introduces. "The one in that room is my son, Izuku Midoriya."
"Where's your husband?" Peter asked.
"Hisashi is currently working abroad," Inko said. "Would you like something to eat?"
Peter nods in agreement, "Sure. I'm starving." he said as his stomach rumbles from the hunger. He only ate oranges or apples for the past days since he couldn't afford to buy proper meals.
Inko prepared food for dinner. There were bunch of delicious food that caused Peter's mouth to drool from hunger, it has been a long time since he ate a good food. Inko then calls her son but he didn't respond. He must be distracted with something, or he's probably training.
"Shall I inform him?" Peter asked who gets up from his seat.
Inko nods, "Sure, that boy is a bit distracted lately. I don't know why."
Peter let out a slight chuckle, "I know why."
Peter knocks on the door and enters the room. Izuku didn't seem to notice him since he was exercising his left arm with a dumbbell. He was struggling to move the dumbbell since his arms is so skinny.
"Izuku Midoriya? You're mother called you for dinner." Peter said as Izuku snapped back to reality.
"I'll be right th..." Izuku then realizes the unknown person. "Who are you?"
Peter clears his throat, "My name is Peter Parker. I just recently moved in and your mother invited me in, or I invited myself in."
"I'm Izuku Midoriya," Izuku introduced. "You're joining us for dinner?"
"Yep, and I'm starving so thanks for your hospitality." Peter said with a smile.
"Uh... you're welcome." Izuku said.
Izuku and Peter exited the room and went to the kitchen where Inko was waiting for the two of them. The two of them pray to Buddha before eating. Peter knows that Buddha isn't real since he was once met the kid Buddha by accident through time travel. Peter also met the real God before the One who created The Multiverse, he and the others across The Multiverse called him "The One Above All" or "Above All Others". Peter isn't a religious person, but he does thank Him for giving him faith and encouragement when his Aunt May was dying so that he doesn't lose himself to a dark path. Peter was munching slowly as he didn't want to embarrass himself.
"So, Peter. Did you move to Japan recently?" Inko asked.
Peter swallows what he was chewing, "Yeah. I moved in about six days ago."
"Why is an American like you came all the way to Japan?" Izuku asked curiously as he munch on his favorite food. "Are you on a tour of our country?"
Peter shakes his head, "Nope, I'm actually here for U.A." he said, but he was also looking for six most powerful gems of across the universe which he cannot say to Izuku or Inko.
Izuku gasps excitedly, "Are you attending U.A. too? Is that why you are here?"
"Yes and no. You see, I'm actually gonna be teacher there," Peter said which confuses Inko and Izuku. "What?"
"Aren't you too young to be a teacher?" Inko asked.
"I'm actually 38," Peter said causing the mother and son to jaw dropped. "I was hit by a Quirk that reverted me to my teenager self. I'm unsure if the effects wear off."
Izuku was shaking his hand, "You're an adult? And there's a Quirk that can de-age you but it's unclear if you will return to yiur normal self? That's actually cool."
Peter sighs, "Not cool when people thinks I'm too childish."
"You can't blame them since you look like a teenager," Inko said. "So you start teaching next year? What subject will it be?"
Peter ponders on which subject he should teach, "I was thinking of going with science, if that isn't taken already."
"Science, not my strongest subject but I can still put effort to it," Izuku said which amazes Peter since not many kids put effort on complicated subjects. "Does people know that you are teaching at U.A.?"
"I don't know. Maybe it'll reveal once I start," Peter said as he finishes everything on his plate and wipes his mouth. "It was nice meeting you, Miss Midoriya, Izuku. Thanks for the meal, I'll be going now."
"See you, Pete." Izuku said.
"The pleasure is all mine. Come visit us anytime." Inko said.
Peter nods and waves before he exits the apartment and leaps to the rooftop. He was relief that his backpack wasn't stolen as someone often steals it whenever he has Spidee-Man duties. He went to sleep for tonight as he will visit the principal of U.A. tomorrow morning.
U.A. High
The teachers of the prestigious school were having a meeting regarding to the new teacher. They were already surprised that All Might, the Number One Hero, will be teaching next year, but they are confuse on why Nezu was hiring a child that doesn't have any records. Plus, he was the spider vigilante that the Pros were having hard time catching.
"I still don't get, Nezu," Midnight started. "Why are you hiring this boy again? And isn't he too young?"
"He told me that he is 38," Aizawa said. "I'm not sure if he was joking or not considering his childish play."
"What made him to look like a child then?" Vlad asked. "If he's an adult, then surely he knows about the illegal usage of Quirks without any license."
"Above all, he was experienced in combat than any of the first years we've seen," Snipe said. "He could dodge my bullets with ease. I was grateful that he took some shot since my bullets would have hit some civilians. I need to be careful next time."
Nezu takes a deep breathe before he explains, "One of my friends told me about Peter Parker. The reason he doesn't have any records was because it was too hide him," he said before showing the records on the papers of Peter Parker which shocks the teachers on what they read. "He is actually a Pro Hero. My friend told me that the real reason he is doing vigilantism was to test his skills by having the Pros attacking him though there is still probably more than the test."

Age: 38

"Peter Benjamin Parker. Born on Queens, New York. Age: 38. Lost his uncle on an accident. Has been a superhero for 22 years," Aizawa said which surprises the teachers once more. "Peter did vigilantism since he was 15 before he got his license. He is legal to operate as a Pro."
The teachers were shock in disbelief. The kid, who was actually an adult, has been doing hero work since he was a teenager. It made sense why he was so experienced as normal kids doesn't fight like him. Aizawa felt like there is more to the story of Peter Parker than what it was shown on the papers.
One, I'm still allowed to hero work since I want to retire already. Two, I have full access on your Development Studios. Then three, I want to meet this principal.
He remembers those words clearly and wonders, 'Was he pretending at time since he was on a mission? Or is there really something going on behind the scenes?'
"I don't get it," Present Mic said. "Since he looks like a student, there will be news that a child is teaching at U.A.. Will they believe that he is a Pro Hero?"
"That is true. It'll be troublesome," Midnight said.
"We're just going to state that Peter Parker was affected by a Quirk that de-ages him," Nezu said. "But since he looks like a student, he can still participate on the exam though it will give other students disadvantage."
"He'll be a student and a teacher at the same time?" Vlad said. "God, this is hurting my brain."
"You and me both." Mic said.
"Honestly, it's up to him if he's going with both roles," Nezu said as the clock hits 7:30 PM. "And that concludes our meeting for today."
The teachers gets up and exits the meeting room. Aizawa was determined to know more about Peter since he has a feeling that the papers are fake, but he trusts Nezu so he'll trust the papers... for now.
"I'm going to find more about you, Peter Parker." Aizawa declared.
Unknown Location
Madame Web was confused on how the principal manages to get false papers for Peter to convince the teachers that Peter was a Pro Hero and an adult. She looks at Strange who was smirking.
"You did that didn't you?" Cassandra asked.
"If he is being chase by Pro Heroes all the time while finding the stones, then there's no improvement on Peter." Strange stated.
Cassandra rolls her eyes before realizing something, "That mouse... bear... something mentions a 'friend' of his. Would that be you Strange?"
Strange smiles, "Maaaaaaybe."
Cassandra sighs, "You are the strangest wizard I've ever known."
Strange snorted, "Was that a compliment?"
"I'll leave that up to you," Cassandra said before looking back at the web. "Be safe, Peter."
Chapter 5 Ends
That's the end of this chapter. Okay, Izuku wasn't suppose to be one of the 1A students Peter meets in this chapter, but I felt like including him. Next chapter will be a side story of the events of Earth-111114 while Peter was gone.
Peter will be both a student and teacher since that'll be fun writing. Will Izuku know that Peter is Spider-Man? Maybe ;)
Stay tune for the side story and Chapter 6. Babush.
