OK KO:
1. You misunderstood what I was saying. What I was trying to say is that the Marvel characters are the same race (Peter and Matt are still white, and have white names), but their families have lived in Japan for awhile.
2. You're right, but you have to understand that I know very little about those characters, and I wouldn't be able to write them well. Regardless, they aren't important for the story I want to tell. I hope you understand. You seem to know a lot about that stuff, so maybe you should write a AU about it.
Spider-Man dropped down into the original alley where the fight had started. He had to be quick, the police would surely be there any moment now.
"*Huff*...I'm going to kill Daredevil..." Spider-Man groaned as limped forwards.
"I heard that," Daredevil jumped down next to Spider-Man.
"I was hoping you would-Ow!" Spider-Man held his side in pain.
"You okay?" asked Daredevil.
"I'll live..." Spider-Man replied.
"I'm sorry about not coming to your aid earlier," Daredevil apologised, "But I was preoccupied myself..."
Before the fight,
Daredevil held one of Overhaul's men by his leg over the edge of a rooftop. A little further away from the Alleyway Spider-Man was.
"Where is Overhaul's base!"
"I-I don't know nothing!"
Daredevil dropped the man.
"AHHHH-" Overhaul screamed before coming to a halt. Looking up he saw Daredevil had caught him with his grappling hook. Daredevil pulled the man back up, holding him over the edge once more.
"It's useless to lie to me," Daredevil barked, "Now let's start again. Where is Overhaul's base!"
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you what I know!" the man cried out, "I don't actually know where the main base is, I'm a low rank member. Me and my boys basically just do free-lance work for him!"
"How do you get the drugs!"
"Our superiors call us! They tell us where to go to pick up the goods and what to say to customers! I've never even met the man in my life! I swear!"
Unfortunately for him this man was telling the truth. He could tell by listening carefully to his heartbeat. This man hadn't met Overhaul before. However that didn't mean he didn't know any useful information.
"Tell me everything you know about your superiors-" Daredevil stopped himself, glancing back in the direction of Spider-Man, 'Someone's found us. The Police? A Pro? ...No, it's just a kid. Spider-Man should be able to handle him...No wait there's something else...Is that takoyaki?'
"Uh...are you okay?-Ah!" Daredevil quickly knocked the man out and hid.
"H-Hello? Is anyone there? I heard a yell..." a meek voice asked. Tamaki Amajiki aka Suneater flapped his wings and landed on the rooftop. Looking around he saw the unconscious man.
"A-Ah!" gasped Suneater.
"Find anything up there Suneater?!" shouted a voice from below.
"Fatgum, I've found an unconscious man, he has some injuries!"
"Really?! Okay, bring them down carefully. We'll get them help!" Fatgum instructed, "Do you see anyone else?!"
Suneater carefully looked around, "Nope!" Suneater carefully grabbed the unconscious man with his tentacle arm.
"Ah! Suneater hurry!" yelled Fatgum, "I've just gotten word Spider-Man has been spotted not too far from here!"
"A-Alright! I'm coming!" Suneater flew down from the rooftop. 'I wonder what happened to this guy...'
Meanwhile completely unknown to Suneater, Daredevil listened intently to their conversation as he stood quietly on the building's fire escape. He could sense Peter's battle in the distance, and he could tell that Peter needed his help. As soon as the coast was clear Daredevil launched his grappling hook and headed towards Spider-Man's location.
Present,
"Well I guess it's the thought that counts." Spider-Man shrugged.
"No time for jokes, the cops and pros will be here any moment," Daredevil warned.
"Right," Spider-Man kneeled down, picking up some of the drug-filled bullets that Overhaul's men were selling, "Well at least this wasn't a total waste. I'll analyse this and see if I can find anything."
"Alright," Daredevil nodded, "I'll do some investigating into buildings that Chisaki owns."
*Police Sirens*
Hearing police sirens getting closer, Spider-Man and Daredevil gave each other one more nod, before taking off into the night.
Multiple police officers pulled up on the scene, their vehicles lighting up the dark alleyway. Getting out of their cars, the cops inspected the scene.
"Oh my god..." the police marveled at the giant web holding Izuku Midoriya. One officer approached the web and noticed a piece of paper attached to it.

Later that Night at the Parker Residence,
Peter opened his bedroom window from the outside. After slipping inside Peter quickly collapsed to the floor with a heavy thud. This noise was enough to wake up the sleeping Eri.
"Hmm? Peter?" Eri rubbed her eyes, "Is that you-" Eri's face went pale as she witnessed Spider-Man's bloody body on the ground.
"No! He got to him! He hurt him because of me!" Eri began to cry.
"Hey, shush no no!" Spider-Man got up quickly, "Don't cry, see I'm alright okay? Everything's fine."
"P-Peter?" Eri sobbed.
"I'm alright kiddo," Peter pulled Eri into an embrace, rubbing her back, "I'm sorry for scaring you like that."
Eri hugged Peter back, "W-What happened? Did Overhaul-"
"No he didn't," said Peter, "This was something else."
"Will you be okay?" asked Eri.
"Yeah, I'm Spider-Man after all," Peter smiled through his ripped mask, "No matter how hard I get hit, I always get back up."
Eri nodded in response.
"...This isn't your fault" said Peter
"H-Huh?"
"It isn't your fault I got hurt," Peter explained, "You're blaming yourself, I can tell."
"But I-"
"No buts," Peter crossed his arms, "Nothing that happens to me is your fault. You understand?"
"...Yes," Eri pouted
"Good, now go back to sleep," Peter rubbed the top of her head, causing a small giggle in response.
Once Eri was back in bed, Peter took off his costume and began to treat his wounds. Matt had taught him the way to properly clean cuts and wrap bandages.
"Argh!" Peter winced in pain, "That guy really did a number on me, I should take it easy for a little while."
Peter looked at his damaged costume on the ground, "*sigh*...There goes another costume. Good thing I still have a backup. Otherwise I'd have been the Bombastic Bagman again..."
Putting on a fresh set of clothes, Peter stuffed his costume back into its chest and went to sleep on the floor. It wasn't the most comfortable, but Eri was in his bed and he couldn't afford Aunt May finding him all banged up on the couch. Well at least he had a pillow and a blanket. Peter closed his eyes and entered the sweet embrace of sleep.
The Next Morning,
Peter slowly opened his eyes. He could feel the sun shining down on him through his window. Getting up he noticed something grabbing his shirt. Looking to his side he saw Eri sleeping on the ground beside him.
"Huh? What are you down here?" Peter rubbed the back of his head, "I guess she was afraid or something..."
Peter picked up the young girl and put her back on his bed. Afterwards he went into the bathroom and took off his bandages. His wounds from yesterday were now all mostly healed up.
"Thank you accelerated healing-ouch," Peter winced in pain, "Still sore though..."
Peter watched the morning news while he and Eri ate some of Aunt May's famous wheatcakes. His fight with Deku was a hot topic.
"Last night around 11:00pm an intern at the Nighteye hero agency had an unfortunate run-in with the vigilante Spider-Man. The same vigilante responsible for the kidnapping of Eri Chisaki. The intern, Izuku Midoriya, caught the vigilante assaulting a group of men. It is unknown why Spider-Man attacked this group of men in particular."
'What?! Did the police not find the drugs? Oh right, Overhaul bribes the police...'
"Attempting to subdue him, Midoriya engaged in a fight with the vigilante, causing a lot of property damage. Unfortunately the intern was defeated by the vigilante, but didn't sustain any major injuries. If you have any information that could lead to Spider-Man's arrest, please call..."
'Well at least that Deku guy is okay. He didn't seem like a bad guy, all things considered.'
"Okay you two, I'm heading to work now," Aunt May said from the doorway, "You make sure to behave yourself."
"Okay see you later May," Peter waved.
"Bye Aunt May," said Eri, "Thank you for the food."
"Bye bye Eri," Aunt May waved before exiting the house. The door behind her closing with a *click*.
"Is he the one who hurt you?" Eri pointed to the picture of Izuku Midoriya on the TV screen.
"Uh, yeah," Peter replied.
"Is he a bad guy?"
"No he's a hero. An intern at a hero agency more precisely."
"But if he's a hero, why would he fight you? You're not bad..."
"Well the thing is I'm technically a vigilante," Peter explained, "I don't have a hero license, so I'm an illegal hero. In the eyes of the law I'm a criminal. It doesn't help that people think I stole you from your father. Which is kinda true..."
"But you are a good guy! You saved me! They should hurt Overhaul, not you!" Eri cried out, "It's not fair..."
"Hey it's okay, I'm used to it by now," Peter patted Eri's head, "But I appreciate the thought. Now if you could only talk to Jonah..."
Downstairs in Peter's basement lab, he began to analyse the drugs he took from Overhaul's men. According to them, these drugs had the power to temporarily erase quirks. If he could figure out how they manufacture the drug and what components they were made of, he might be able to narrow down the location of Overhaul's base. Peter's lab equipment wasn't the greatest, but it got the job done.
"Let's see what we have here…" The teen placed a sample of the drug on a petri dish, and put it under his microscope. Zooming in on the drug, Peter noticed its components looked similar...
"Oh my god..." Peter gasped in shock, "This is...human DNA."
"Overhaul says I'm cursed, but that my curse can be used to cure heroes..." Eri explained.
"...So he cut me up, he put things in, and took things out. He tore me apart and then put me back together," Eric shivered, "Over and over and over again"
"He really used a little girl's body to make drugs..." Peter frowned, "Absolutely disgusting. This brings up the question, what exactly is Eri's quirk? I guess I'll have to ask her myself."
Peter walked back upstairs to find Eri sitting on the couch, watching cartoons on the TV. He sat down next to the young girl.
"Hey Eri, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Okay"
"What's your quirk?"
"..." Eri frowned.
"Please Eri I need to know,"
"...You promise not to hate me?"
"Hate you? Why would knowing your quirk make me hate you?."
"Because it's cursed! It caused Mommy and Daddy to go away..."
"..."
"...When I was a baby I...I couldn't control my quirk and I caused my Daddy to...disappear," Eri explained, "My Mommy left me with Overhaul because of it..."
'Man...she's just a little kid and she's been carrying that kind of burden!' Peter thought, 'Hell, I'm a teenager and I can barely deal with it…'
"You can't blame yourself for that, you were just a baby. No one can properly control their powers at that age," Peter argued, "It's unfortunate, but that sort of thing isn't uncommon."
"..."
"Listen, I don't know what kind of things Overhaul had told you over the years..." Peter looked Eri directly in the eyes, "...But he's wrong."
"Huh?"
"He's evil and has terrible fashion sense, therefore his opinions are invalid," Peter joked, "Your quirk isn't a curse. So please, tell me what exactly it does."
"...Um, well I can sort of rewind living things back to how they used to be..."
"Rewind living things?" Peter rubbed his chin, "So like you could turn a chicken back into an egg?"
"Yeah I guess, but I can't control it...I always end up rewinding too far..."
"Wow...that's amazing!"
"Wha-?"
"Your quirk is incredible! If you could gain proper control of it you could help so many people!"
"R-Really?!" asked Eri, "You really think I can help people?!"
"Of course!" Peter replied, "On a basic level, you could reverse life threatening injuries or illness. At a higher level, your powers might even be able to cure cancer! Your quirk is a gift, not a curse."
Hearing those words caused Eri to tear up instantly. No one had ever been this kind to her in her entire life. The kindness she experienced at the Parker household over the past two days was overwhelming to the young girl.
"T-Thank you," Eri sobbed.
"No problem," Peter chuckled.
Overhaul was losing his patience. Despite all his efforts, he had yet to locate Spider-Man or Eri. He could wait to kill Spider-Man, but his whole operation depended on Eri. The loss of Eri hadn't completely halted their operation, but it definitely slowed it down. They needed to find Spider-Man and they needed to do it quickly.
"Is this everything?" Overhaul looked down at the clutter of police files and newspaper articles about the vigilante on the coffee table.
"Yes boss," one of his men, who Overhaul couldn't remember the name of answered, "Unfortunately this is the only information we could find about Spider-Man."
"Have you gathered any noteworthy information?"
"...We could not discern any information about his identity."
"Are there any areas he frequents?"
"He operates all over Tokyo."
"Not what I asked," said Overhaul, "Are there any specific places he frequently shows up? Being a vigilante, he doesn't have a lot of freedom to patrol, so he probably goes after criminals directly in front of him."
"Um...well," the man looked through some papers, "It seems he's made multiple appearances at the Daily Bugle, a newspaper publisher. It's known for its constant bad press against Spider-Man and is one of the few news organizations able to capture clear pictures of the vigilante."
"Hmm, interesting," Overhaul picked up a couple of newspapers off the table. Inspecting them closely Overhaul noticed a pattern.
"Peter Parker..."
"Boss?"
"These pictures by the Bugle," said Overhaul, "Each and every one of them was taken by a guy named Peter Parker. I think this is our man."
"Alright, we'll find out everything we can about this guy!" the man left the room in a hurry.
Under his mask Overhaul smirked, "Found you."
Can Suneater fly with those wings? I don't know, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if you were let down that Daredevil didn't fight Suneater, Fatgum or Kirishima, but I didn't want to have two big fights back to back. Next time things are going to get crazy. I have finals coming up, so it won't be for a little while.
