Chapter 22: Blood On A Spider's Web

Tenya Iida wasn't sure what to think. The hero he was now interning under had told him that he couldn't go off on his own. The very notion was considered to be vigilantism, something that no one would approve of. In fact, the conversation had reminded him of the stuff he been talking about with his classmates. After being told about the internships, when they met for lunch, Mina had revealed that the UA festival had been criticized due to Bakugo, (Which he was not surprised about. Tenya had not liked him since the moment he met him in the first day of class.) and what was considered to be an event that was more popular than the Olympics, was suddenly sidewinded by Spider-Man, who had stopped a gang war outside of UA's doorstep. It was insane to think about.

Now, Tenya did not dislike Spider-Man, though he didn't like seeing someone break the law constantly, even if he was trying to help. Despite this, that very thought of breaking the law, to do vigilantism against the one that did this to his brother...it was all he could think about these past few days. It was the very reason he was there, walking behind Manual despite his eyes constantly darting around, trying to find something, anything on the hero killer.

And yet, he felt only one thing now: Vengeance. He wanted the hero killer to pay. He knew it was wrong, but his mind told him one thing: 'Don't worry about it. Don't even think about it. All you need to think about is avenging Tensei.'

As such, he continued to walk down the street with Manual, a permanent glare on the teen's face despite being hidden behind a mask. And as he strolled behind Manual, a sudden noise rang out.

BOOM!

The sound made both spin around, only to see a smoke appear behind a few buildings. And as they stared at it, a large creature with wings flew out of the black fog.

'That's...' Iida thought, recognizing the beast. It looked like a flying version of the monster he had seen at the USJ.

"What the heck is that?!" Manual yelped before turning to Iida, "Do you know what that is?"

"I...I..." Iida stuttered out, only for the two to start hearing several screams.

"Nevermind. We need to evacuate the people now!" Manual yelled, grabbing Iida shoulder, "Snap out of it and help me!"

Tenya turned to him, giving a quick nod, "Okay."

Manual spun around at this and began to yell at the people around them, gesturing to them to follow. He then saw Endeavor fly over him, slamming into one of the monsters. The sight made him glance back, only to see his intern was now gone. "Oh no..."

"You are another disgusting fake." Stain hissed. It had taken the villain a bit longer than he expected to catch the hero in front of him. It seemed that scuffle on the rooftop with the vigilante had pushed him a bit off balance, messed up his timing to be precise. That or that 'conversation' he had just had with Shigaraki. Stain was still debating on going back and killing him as he stood over Native. The Pro Hero was wincing, his whole body shaking like a leaf as Stain pointed his blade at his chin.

"What...did you...do to me?"

"Judgment." Stain replied, "I have deemed you unworthy of the title of hero. It is a word that has lost all meaning in this society, and you are another stain on its meaning."

"No, please! I-I-I don't wanna die!" Native screamed as the blade slowly went up his chin.

"Those who have fallen in battle have no right to choose their fate." Stain remarked, "Especially a fake like you. Your kind is a poison to this society, one that I will cure." Stain then raised the katana up high, a malicious grin on his face as Native felt the killing aura pour off the villain. The pressure alone was choking, Stain clenching his grip on the blade as he prepared the killing blow.

But as he was about to do this, his eyes went wide. Turning to his right, a sudden figure burst into him. Stain quickly held up his hands and sword, blocking the blow before swiping upward, knocking the assailant back. The sound of tinging metal followed this as a helmet bounced on the pavement.

"Who are you?" Stain hissed as he saw the assailant completely now. It was Iida in full hero costume with the exception of his helmet. "Another child?"

Iida didn't respond, instead just getting back up as he glared at the killer. The sight made Stain scoff, "You...your eyes are filled with vengeance." He pointed his blade at the teen, "Let me guess, you wish to avenge someone I killed?"

"I am the brother of the Pro Hero Ingenium, the one you cut down! I am here to face you in his place." Iida roared, only to see the killer just squint his eyes at him.

"You are a fool. And you're meddling with my work." He turned back to Native, "Do not meddle with me, child. I will kill you if necessary."

Iida then scratched the pavement under him with his foot, "I am Ingenium, for its the name that will defeat you right here, right now!"

Stain's eyes drifted back to the teen, making him let out a sigh, "Hmph. I see. You believe yourself to be a hero?" He pointed his blade at him, "Then prepare for death."

Iida then charged straight at his, the engines in his calves bursting as he zipped down the alleyway. But as he got close, Stain just jumped over him, easily dodging the charge before slamming his foot down into Iida's right arm. The blow knocked the teen to the ground, only for Stain to land and slam his katana into Iida's left shoulder. "Augh!" Iida screamed as he felt the blade go through, only to feel Stain's foot on his back.

"You're just as worthless as your brother." Stain spat as he slowly moved the blade out of the teen, "The only reason I let Ingenium live was to spread rumors. You and your brother are weak...all because you're both fake heroes!"

"My brother is a great hero!" Iida barked back as he tried to get up, only to feel Stain push him back down with just his foot. "I'll kill you to avenge him!"

Hearing this, Stain let out a scoff, "Oh please." He then took his foot off of Iida and pulled the sword out, Iida wincing at this as the killer pointed at Native, "Then save him."

"What?"

"You heard me." Stain hissed as he put the blade up to his mouth, licking it. The act makes Iida tense up, as if something had now made him unable to move. However, Stain continued to speak, "A true hero acts selflessly, rescuing others and does not use his power for his own sake. But you use it for yourself. You just want revenge, which makes you the furthest thing from being a hero." And as he said that, Iida now felt Stain's boot hit his head, slamming him into the pavement. "Worthless. That's why you're going to die now. You will be another offering for a just world."

"You're wrong!" Iida screamed as he tried to move, Stain just shaking his head at the sight. "You're just scum that hurt Tensei!"

"And you...are nothing but a fake." He then lifted his blade over the teen, "And now, you will-"

"Web Swing Kick!"

And as Stain heard the sudden voice, he turned to the right, only to feel something hit him directly in the face. The blow knocked him off his feet, only to land on his back and quickly roll onto his feet a split second later. But as he did this, he glanced around, not seeing his assailant.

The sight made him let out a long hiss, "You again. Didn't I tell you to not meddle with me?!"

"Sorry, but when I see a murder about to happen, I have to interfere. Its one of my many rules." said a voice, Iida and Native glancing up as they tried to see where it was coming from.

"Tch. Fine." Stain growled as his eyes darted around. "So I assume you're going to continue using this little invisible parlor trick of yours?"

"No, I can't hold it forever, but..." Two webs shot down, both instantly grabbing the katana in Stain's hand. With a single powerful yank, it was pulled out of the killer's grip. And as the blade was sent flying up the alleyway, a certain green colored vigilante appeared as he grabbed the sword's handle. This was followed by him webbing the katana to the building his feet were sticking too, about three stories up from the ground. "I can declare this a no katana zone."

"You..." Stain hissed as he pulled out two knives.

"What's the matter, mister stabs-a-lot? Lost your favorite weapon?" Izuku quipped, Native and Iida now staring straight up with wide eyes at the vigilante. As for Izuku, his mind was kicking him as it yelled, 'What are you doing Izuku?! Don't antagonize him like that! He already beat you once! Just...just figure out how to save Native and Tenya and get out of here!'

"DIE!" Stain roared as he threw both knives at Izuku, only for his spider sense to scream at him. Letting his uncanny radar sense take over, he reflexively caught both with his hands, only to web them up as well.

"I don't think so." Izuku commented as he glanced back down at Stain, "You're not getting me again. I know your trick now, and I can do this all day."

Stain pulled out a third knife, this one having blood on it. Two web lines shot down next, Stain quickly cutting both, only for a third to grab his foot. A pull followed this, knocking Stain off balance before a fourth web to hit the knife, yanking it out of his grip. The knife reached Izuku instantly, the teen catching it and webbing it up. However, he didn't stick it to the wall, but instead put it in his hoodie. "That one had my blood on it, didn't it? I'll be putting that one away for sure." He commented before glancing down at Stain. "Looks like you're all out of tricks. And that is your only trick, isn't it?!"

That comment made Iida go wide-eyed as his mind told him, 'Aizawa-sensei is right. I'm a one trick pony...and I lost because of it.'

"You..." Stain hissed before taking out another knife, only to turn back to Native. The hero was still sitting on the pavement, unable to move thanks to Stain's quirk. And as he thrust his blade at him, another web line shot down, the killer instantly turning and blocking it with his knife. But as the webbing hit the weapon, Stain grabbed the web line and pulled on it. Izuku felt himself being yanked, making him lose grip on the wall.

"Whoa!" he yelped before cutting the webbing from his shooter, then thrusting his arms upward as he fired two more web lines, slowing his descent. He was now only about one story above the killer, Stain then hopping on the wall and wall-kicking off it. He began to slash right at the teen, spider sense screaming at the motion. A split second later, Izuku pulled on the web lines, yanking himself just out of Stain's reach.

'Yikes!' Izuku thought as he caught himself before sticking to the wall and firing two more web lines at Stain. The killer slashed at both, only for Izuku to fire more and more. 'That's it! I'm fixing this situation now!' Webbing flew out of the shooters, the substance now beginning to miss the villain, instead hitting the sides of the wall and ground, sticking everywhere as Stain continued to slash through the webs. And as he did this, Izuku then hopped down and landed between Stain and Iida, Stain cutting one last strand of webbing.

"Finally came down to face me?!" Stain roared, only to see Izuku shake his head.

"Nope. Just made sure you can't kill someone else."

Stain blinked at this, only to glance back to see that half of the alleyway was now covered in a giant webbing wall, cutting him off from Native. The sight made him hiss, only to look back at Izuku and see him hop onto the wall again and fire a web at Iida's back, yanking him down the alleyway, away from the villain.

"You...you..." Stain growled, the killing aura he always had now pouring out of him.

"You're not killing anyone else." Izuku declared as he came back down again. He stared straight at the villain, feeling the overwhelming pressure of his killing intent flow off him. And despite this, Izuku felt himself taking a deep breath as his mind said, 'I...I think I can do this.' He closed his eyes at this, taking another breath before opening them, 'Yeah. Yeah, let's do this.'

Bio-electricity surged through his hands as Stain stared him down, the killer reaching for another knife. Iida, who could feel his body starting to slowly move now, watched with baited breath at the end of the alleyway. But as he did this, Izuku cut the electricity as he fired a web line, Stain quickly slashing it. The villain then charged at this, Izuku's spider sense yelling at him as the knife came. Izuku quickly side-stepped the thrust, spider-sense guiding him as Stain turned the thrust into a sideswipe, Izuku ducking under it. Stain then swung the blade in three separate strikes, Izuku dancing around each blow within a single centimeter of difference.

It looked like a performance to Iida, watching the killer he hated so much swinging the blade around like a maniac, only to see Spider-Man nimbly dodge every blow. And as Stain tried to slash him, Izuku watched the maniac continue to try and hit him, the teen focusing everything he could on his spider sense. And as the sense kept guiding him, he started to see an opening. As this happened, the two were about to exit the alleyway, both having slowly gone down the whole alley.

Iida felt himself able to move now, quickly getting up and leaping out of the way as the two left the alleyway, only to see Izuku finally counter the killer. He shot a web line straight at Stain, the villain raising his knife to block it. But just as the webbing struck it, Izuku immediately yanked at it, instantly pulling the knife out of Stain's grip. Seeing this, Stain quickly thrust a punch, hitting Izuku in the face. He then did rapid fury of punches at this, spider sense yelling at Izuku as he tried to block each blow, only to feel four punches to the face.

Stain then slammed a fist into Izuku's stomach, making him gasp as the villain roared, "Weak!" He then pulled back another fist, but as he tried to punch Izuku again, Izuku ducked under it before thrusting a leg upward, the foot smacking Stain in the face. He stumbled back, only for Stain to reach behind his back to grab another knife, only for Izuku to pull back a fist, electricity surging off it.

"Venom Punch!" Izuku screamed as he thrust the fist, Stain quickly switching from grabbing the knife to blocking the blow by crossing his arms. But as the fist hit him, Stain felt for the first time today, pure pain. The blow knocked him off his feet, making him screech as he was knocked back into the alleyway.

Seeing this, Izuku quickly pointed his wrists at the killer, ready to fire a bunch of webbing-

Danger!

"Look out!" Iida yelled as his calves ignited, shooting himself over to Spider-Man. He tackled the teen just as a giant claw suddenly swiped above the two. The pair hit the pavement before both scrambling up, now seeing a Nomu land a few feet away.

"Thanks." Izuku replied before looking up at the creature, "What the heck is that?!"

"Well uh...that's um..." Iida stuttered out, only for the Nomu to let out a roar.

"Hold that thought." Spider-Man remarked as he grabbed Iida as the Nomu leapt at them. He fired a quick web line and yanked at it, pulling both away from the monster.

"Whoa!" Iida yelped as he felt himself get lifted across the street. And as the Nomu missed them, Stain walked out of the alleyway with killing intent flooding off him. The villain turned to see the creature land again, letting out a long hiss.

"You must Shigaraki's. Such a disgusting being." the killer spat as the Nomu continued to roar before leaping at Stain next. As it did this, he pulled out a knife and jumped, the beast tackling him, only to stab the weapon into the monster's back. Stain let out an irk of pain as the Nomu then slammed him into the street, only to lick the blade. The monster instantly flopped over at this, Stain letting out a 'hmph' before getting up and slicing the creature's neck.

"Disgusting." Stain spat before getting up, "After I'm done here, I will make that fake villain pay."

And as this happened, Iida and Spider-Man stared at the killer. Iida could feel himself shaking, his eyes going between the villain and the vigilante. As for Spider-Man, he stared directly at the villain, only to glance down at this web shooters. 'I gotta be low. I need to change it, now.' The killer turned back to them, Izuku whispering to Iida, "Hey."

The teen almost hopped in place as his eyes darted back to the vigilante, "Um...yes?"

"You good to fight this guy?" Izuku asked, "I might need your help."

Iida went wide-eyed at this, "What?! But haven't you been handling him this whole time?! H-h-he beat me instantly!"

Izuku wanted to shake his head at that, "No. I uh...I've been improvising the whole thing. That and if he licks your blood, he wins. So, I've been trying to be super careful."

"You...have?" Iida muttered out.

"Yeah." Izuku turned to him, 'Remember Izuku, you can't tell him you're...Izuku.' Izuku took a breath for a second and said, "Listen, you're obviously...related to Ingenium, right? Are you here for revenge?"

"I...yes." Iida replied, "Do you know my brother?"

"I worked with him once." Izuku responded, "But that's not important. I need your help."

"You do?" Iida slowly said, "But...I can't..."

"You can do it. If you want to be a hero, help me." Those words made Iida tense up, only for both to suddenly flinch as they felt a wave of killing intent hit them. Feeling this, Izuku whispered to Iida, "Can you give me an opening?"

Iida bit his lip at this, only to see Stain begin to walk over the Nomu. "You fakes...you worthless fakes!" He screeched as he pulled out a second knife. "I'm done playing around! I'll kill you both!"

Hearing this, seeing the killer before him just scream like an animal, the sight made Iida sick to his stomach. This was what hurt his brother, this monster that was rambling like a lunatic. But as he saw this, he felt a wave of fear and anger hit him at the same time. And as he felt this, he saw Spider-Man just stare ahead, unmoving as he put himself into a crouched fighting stance. He could see he was shaking, but the vigilante was ready to take Stain on.

Iida looked back at the villain, now seeing what he was facing before. 'I was wrong. I just...ran into this without thinking. This is all my fault.' He then glanced back at Spider-Man one last time, 'But he just hopped in here with no plan and saved me and Native...like a real hero.' His eyes went back to the Stain, the killer now over the Nomu and walking on the pavement, before taking one of his fingers to push up his glasses. "I'll do it."

Izuku blinked at him before nodding, "Alright. Let's do this."

A burst of steam blasted out of Iida's calves, his body tensing up as he stared straight ahead. And as he did this, Izuku reached into his hoodie and silently grabbed a web cartridge, quickly changing it as Iida charged. "Recipro Burst!" Iida roared as he leapt at the villain. He thrust a leg right at Stain's face, the killer raising both hands to block it. The blow pushed Stain back, his feet grinding on the street.

And with a jerk of his leg, the attack broke through Stain's guard, knocking him back. The killer flew over the downed Nomu, his body hitting the pavement before quickly flipping himself back onto his feet. But as he did this, a web line hit his chest, making him glance down. He swiped his knife, cutting the line, only for another one to hit the knife. Stain tensed his grip on the weapon, feeling a yank, but kept his hold.

As this all happened, Iida charged at him again, Stain growling as he cut the line with the second knife. He then thrust his blades at the teen, only for Izuku to yell, "Dodge it!"

Iida quickly leapt at this, zooming over the killer as he tried to swing his knife upward. But as he did this, another web line hit his chest, Stain cutting this as well. And as he did this, he turned to see Izuku leap right at him, fists sparking in electricity. The killer began to counterattack, thrusting a blade right at Izuku just as he landed in front of him. And as this happened, Izuku slightly dodged as the blade nicked his shoulder.

But that was enough.

"Venom Punch!" Izuku screamed as his fist hit Stain's chest. Electricity surged through the villain's body, his whole body flying off the pavement. A second later, his back slammed into a wall, blood spitting out of his mouth. And before he could fully fall over-

Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!

Globs of webbing covered Stain neck to toe, sticking him to the building wall. Stain let out a hiss at this, trying to move his hands, only to find he couldn't move an inch. He pulled and squirmed, but found he couldn't do anything. The only thing he could move was his head.

"Grr...you little...you fakes..." Stain growled as his head tilted around.

And as he tried to move, Izuku and Iida walked over to him, now watching this bloodthristy killer be reduced to a webbed-up thug on a wall. The sight made Iida just glare at him, seeing the man who hurt his brother be helpless. He felt his fists clench up at this, both shaking as fire burned in his eyes.

Izuku turned to Iida, seeing the rage on his face. 'What...what do I do here?' He looked back at Stain, the killer no longer moving but just staring straight at him. His eyes were directly on Izuku, as if Iida wasn't there.

"Its seems you beat me." Stain hissed before his eyes slowly turned to Iida, "Well? Are you going to kill me like you said before, you fake hero?!"

Iida raised his fist at this, ready to punch him, only to feel a hand grab his shoulder. The teen turned to the vigilante, nothing but rage on Iida's face. Despite this, Izuku spoke up in the most calming tone possible, "Um...listen, I might not know everything going on here, but..."

"But what?!" Iida growled.

"Uh...I don't think getting revenge will help you." Izuku replied before pointing at Stain, "I mean, just look at him. Do you think you'll get what you want by punishing him?"

Iida glanced back at Stain, seeing even more rage than he was showing now pouring off the killer. The sight made the teen sick, as if looking at a rapid animal that had taken everything away from him. However, his own mind then asked him, 'Is that what a hero does?'

Izuku glanced back down at Iida's fist, only to see it uncurl. The teen let out a long sigh, glancing away, "I...I really want to kill him. But I know Tensei wouldn't want that. I just...I just..."

Silence came next, Iida now looking away. As for Izuku, he stared at the teen, wishing he could say more, but no words would come out of his mouth. But as this happened, another voice suddenly rang out.

"Iida!" All three turned to the voice, seeing it was Manual as he ran up to them, only to go wide-eyed as he saw Stain webbed up to the building wall. "That's-"

"The hero killer." Iida slowly said before pointing to a certain vigilante, "He...Spider-Man beat him mostly."

"It wasn't mostly! He's the only one who beat me!" Stain screeched, all three turning to him as he glared at Iida, "He's a real hero, unlike you! You're just a worthless fake!"

Iida opened his mouth to respond, only for Spider-Man to wave a hand in front of him, "You're wrong." Stain glared at the teen, Izuku then adding, "And before you say anything, I'm not a real hero. I failed to become one. That's why I'm a vigilante."

Those words made both Iida and Manual go wide-eyed, only to hear Stain let out a snarl, "So?! That still makes you more of a hero than him!" the killer spat, "I saw your conviction! You care to save and protect others, unlike this fake who only seeks revenge!"

"He might seek that, but he just showed you he's learned his lesson." Izuku instantly replied before pointing at Stain, "And didn't you tell me earlier that the only true hero is All Might, only to say I'm a real hero?! You're nothing but a hypocrite!"

"Shut up! You understand nothing!" Stain roared, only to turn his head, the rest following it as they saw a crowd begin to form from faraway. A news crew was there, cameras and everything, along with a certain flaming hero: Endeavor. The sight made them all go wide-eyed, only for Stain to scream, "You all know nothing! The word hero has lost all meaning in this world! Do you hear me?! Its lost all meaning!" He then glared back at Izuku, "That is why only All Might is worthy of defeating me!"

And as he yelled this, Endeavor walked up to them, the flames on his form blazing off him. Iida turned to him at this, seeing Endeavor's son Shoto Todoroki standing beside the hero as Endeavor pointed at Stain, "Is that the hero killer?!"

The trio were about to reply, only for Stain to spit at the hero, "Endeavor...you're the fakest hero of them all! You only live for fame and glory! You're not a real hero!" Endeavor turned to the villain, flames rising off him even more, only for Stain to glare right back. It felt as if a flood of killing intent had been unleashed, everyone now feeling it.

Manual, Iida, Izuku and even Shoto all shook at this, but Endeavor remained firm, hiding the surprise in him at feeling this much pressure, and the fact that something like this had been taken down by those around him. Despite this, Stain just glared at the hero before turning back to Izuku, "You...you call yourself Spider-Man, right?"

Izuku turned to him, about to respond, only for Stain to say, "I accept defeat from you. I said that the word hero has lost all meaning...but you're a real hero."

Izuku just shook his head at this, "You're wrong. It still has meaning, as I know there are plenty of real heroes still out there."

Stain let out a hiss at this, "Did you not hear what I just said?! I said-"

Thwip!

A glob of webbing covered Stain's mouth, making Iida and Manual go wide-eyed as Izuku added, "I don't need to be told I'm a hero from a murderer."

This was followed by another round of Stain's malefic aura, his bloodlust pouring out of him at Izuku's words. Even Endeavor flinched at this, Izuku shivering at this as he thought, 'That's what I was just fighting?' He almost shook his head at this, 'I really went in over my head, didn't I? I need to listen to Gran Torino's advice and slow down...' He mentally took a deep breath before turning to the others, "Well...I gotta go. You okay with calling the cops to escort him to prison?"

"Um...sure?" Manual replied, only for Endeavor to walk in front of him.

"You will not be going anywhere, vigilante. You're also under arrest."

"On what charges? You know, besides the vigilantism and the uh..." Izuku tried to quip, only to see a pillar of flame about to erupt out of the hero's back.

"Vigilantes are nothing but villains who think they can do good." Endeavor growled as fire consumed his right fist, "I've seen firsthand what they're meddling can do. Surrender now, or I will burn you."

"Now hang on there. I was just trying to help, and I caught the villain for you." The teen croaked out, feeling himself start to backpedal, "That's gotta count for something, right?"

"It means you are more dangerous than him." Endeavor replied in a matter-of-fact tone. And as he said this, a teen with white and red hair walked up beside the hero.

"Uh..." Izuku muttered out, his mind yelling at him, 'You stupid Deku! Do something! Or run, or...something!'

"Now hang on, Endeavor sir!" Iida suddenly spoke up, "Spider-Man just-"

"Be silent child. It's obvious you're trying to be a vigilante too." Endeavor hissed, making Iida gulp as he knew he couldn't deny that. But as this exchange happened, Izuku's teenage brain took over as he spoke up again.

"You know what, mister Endeavor sir?" The hero glanced back at the vigilante, "I'm uh...gonna have to pass on the whole you...burning me thing. I don't know about you, but I prefer stuff fried instead of burnt. Though I am good with grilled, roasted, or baked, but I prefer fried." The fire on Endeavor's body plumed at this, everyone now backpedaling, including Endeavor's son, who's eyes started to widen as he heard Izuku talk back to his father.

"You will surrender now, or else." Endeavor growled, his eyes narrowing the flames on him surged.

"Um...well uh..." Izuku stuttered out as he felt like he was shrinking in the mere presence of the Number Two hero, his brain now kicking him, 'You moron! What did you say that for?!' Izuku then opened his mouth, 'No! Don't do another quip! Just run! Now!'

But his brain was too late as Izuku spoke up and said, "I think I'll just take a rain check on the whole surrendering thing too. Bye!" And with that, the teen instantly turned invisible. The sight made Endeavor's right eye twitch before thrusting a flaming fist downward, a giant volley of fire bursting out of it. Spider sense blaring at this, he quickly leapt up and fired a web line, yanking himself just out of the flame's reach as everyone else leapt to the side. Endeavor then turned to see webs suddenly appearing mid-air, leaping after it a split second later.

Danger!

'Oh no.' Izuku thought as he fired another web line, quickly yanking himself down an alleyway. A second later, flames burst into the edge of the alleyway, Endeavor now flying over the buildings.

"Come back here, you coward!" Endeavor roared.

Glancing back, Izuku then saw flames encase the whole alley just as he swung out of it. 'What the heck?! He's using lethal force?!' He glanced back at the buildings ahead, his spider sense still yelling as he swung across a street. 'I gotta get out of here!'

And as he went into another alleyway, he glanced up to see Endeavor was still just behind him, only to see Endeavor aim right for his previous web line. The sight made him go wide-eyed, 'That's it!'

He then took a sharp left out of the alleyway, only to quickly land. And as Endeavor flew over the alley, Izuku fired two more web lines across the street, both connecting to tops of buildings. Endeavor soon saw them and went across the street, Izuku then running down a block before into another alleyway. His invisibility soon turned off, his head hurting from having to use it while under that much stress. He then slipped behind a dumpster and waited, hearing Endeavor roar in the distance.

"Where are you?! Don't think you can escape me!"

And after a few minutes, he got up and glanced out of the alleyway and saw that the hero had gone the opposite direction. Letting out a sigh of relief before darting his eyes around, only to remember that the city had been evacuated earlier due to the monsters, he fired a new web line before swinging away.

It wasn't long till he found the train station, hopped on for a ride to Musutafu, and knew he needed to go to bed as soon as possible. And as he waited on the train, his adrenaline suddenly left him and the memories of today flooded into his mind. He could feel all the moments of near death, the killing intent from Stain as he thought to himself, 'That's it. No more Spider-Manning for today. I...I think I might need a vacation.' He slumped over on the train, letting out a long moan, 'And a nap. A long nap.'
