Chapter 8
"Everyone Settle down! Class is about to begin!" Iida announces as he chops in the air.
The class, not wanting Iida to continue fussing, does as they're told while some are slower than others.
"Bakugo! You must sit down in your seat as a show of respect to our teacher!"
"Don't tell me what to do four eyes! Besides Aizawa isn't gonna be here he's still in the hospital so we probably got a substitute today." Bakugo sits in his chair and props his feet up on the desk much to the Class Reps annoyance.
"Even if it's a substitute we should treat all of the faculty with equal amounts of respect and take your feet off the desk it's unbecoming of a student of UA!—what're you doing?"
The pair both stare at Peter who's crouched next to Iida holding a protractor at his elbow. Peter has a face of focus as he explains,
"I suspected but it bothered me so much I had to make sure."
"What?" Iida asks, worried about what Peter may have noticed, a flaw perhaps?
Peter rubs his chin dumbfounded, "Somehow when you chop at the air your arms form a perfect 90 degree angle. And it's every time! How is that even possible!? You were never off at all not even at the smallest degree!"
The whole class can't help but wonder what in the hell is wrong with Peter. All of Iida's frustration disappeared and even Bakugo can't muster up any anger just confusion. Peter finally realizes the awkward atmosphere and quietly returns to his seat feeling slightly embarrassed. Momo leans towards him, "You know, I hate to admit it, but I have been curious about that as well."
"So you left me to take the embarrassment of actually figuring it out huh? Is this behavior befitting a class rep?"
"It is my duty to take make tough decisions."
They lock eyes for a second before sharing a laugh. Finally everyone begins to chat once again. A few days have passed since the USJ attack and though the event had certainly left its mark, our heroes are in much better spirits now, knowing that they have come out of such a frightening experience alive and dare they say, stronger. It also has strengthen the bond between the classmates, allowing friendships to develop and prosper. Even Bakugo won't admit it but he's developed a bit of a soft spot for Kirishima, or at least, he yells at him the least in the class.
Hagakure bumps her elbow to Ojiro, "hey did you watch the news last night?" he nods, "you saw how the whole class was on-screen?!" she sighs, "I didn't stand out at all…"
Even though she was invisible, Ojiro could tell that she was bpretty bummed out by that, "I-it's hard to stand out like that though?" his failed attempt at making her feel better was received poorly.
Thankfully Kaminari butts in, "But man, all the channels made a big deal out of it! I couldn't believe it!"
"Why? I mean the hero course that keeps pumping out pro heroes was attacked!" jiro explains.
Sero shakes his head, "Who knows what would've happened if the teachers hadn't come when they did." He shivers involuntarily.
Iida stands up, "Despite that I as the class rep would like to say how proud I am of all of you! Each and everyone of you stepped up and rose to the occasion! You all truly acted as heroes worthy to walk the halls of UA!"
Uraraka agrees, "Yeah! Especially you Deku-kun!"
Said greenette instantly becomes redder than a tomato at the smiling girls close proximity, "W-well it wasn't just me!"
Tsuyu puts a finger on her chin, "That's right, Parker was the first of us to move and did a pretty good job of it before we were separated. But I'll admit the two of you had me worried when you faced the Nomu by yourselves."
"You kidding me?! I couldn't believe how you kicked that things ass! You were like a tag team power house it was so manly!" Kirishima's fist shakes from the excitement.
Bakugo scoffs, "They were the ones getting their asses kicked."
Peter raises an eyebrow, "Remind me again who's life threatening hit I had to take cause his head was so far up his own ass he couldn't see a gigantic black fist racing to his face?"
Explosions dances over Bakugo's hands as he instantly jumps to his feet, "WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU BASTARD?!"
Kirishima calms him down while Momo comments, "Speaking of you really did have me—all of us scared when you took that hit. The way your body flew through the air almost looked like you died."
The somber expression she wore was matched by the whole class and Pter feels bad for how much he made everyone worry, "Come on guys, I'm alright though! Plus it takes a lot more than an overpowered punch to put me down… even though it still hurts." He rubs his chest absentmindedly.
"Besides, you guys are my classmates, and if there's anything I can do to help I'll do it… even if it's Bakugo."
"Like I need your help Gaijin!"
Mina gets everyones attention, "We're more than that now Parker! I think it's safe to say we can call each others friends at this point right?"
Everyone gives him sounds of agreement, "And since we're friends we should have happy memories together and not just dark and gloomy ones, so since tomorrows Saturday, why don't we all hang out and have a beach day! I heard Dagobah Beach is open to the public again!"
Mineta jumps onto his seat with blood pouring out his nose, "I SECOND THE NOTION!"
"You're not invited."
He falls to the ground in despair, "Why is the universe so cruel?!"
Some agree to it, "I think it's a great idea don't you Deku?"
He gives Uraraka a nervous smile while nodding , "she's so close!".
Others though couldn't make it.
"Wish I could but my parents are still feeling nervous about me going out so soon after the attack so going to the beach is out of the question for me at least for now." Sero explains.
"No." Todoroki says, much to some of the girls dismay.
"Like I need to spend any more time than I need to with you extras!"
"Oh no! That's so unfortunate how will we get along without you." Sarcasm drips from Peter's every word and Bakugo growls in anger.
"Going to the beach always makes for wonderful memories! Reminds me that it's been a while since I've gone to my family's private beach in Italy." Momo comments.
Peter and Uraraka's eyes nearly pop out their heads as they ask in unison, "You have a private beach?!"
Momo gets flustered, "I uh yes my family owns several."
Uraraka falls back, "So rich!"
Peter whistles impressed, "And I'm still here dumpster diving for spare parts."
His classmate bowed her head in shame for a second before popping up again, "Wait… are you saying that you've used spare parts at random to make some of your equipment?"
"Uhhh yea, my web shooters were made from stuff I found in… the dumpster." Peter doesn't meet anyones eyes as he hears their strangled chuckles.
"That aside, it's actually really impressive! I could've swore you made it in support department!" Momo exclaims.
He shrugs, "well you know the old saying, one man's trash is another mans treasure!"
Momo smiles warmly, "You're a very interesting person Parker-kun."
He brands a goofy smile when Mina slides up to Momo with a mischievous look, "say Yaomomo, any chance of us taking a look at those private beaches you own?"
As the class continue to talk about the excitement of the following days events, the conversation steers back to USJ, or more specifically, about their Homeroom teachers state after the attack. "I wonder who's gonna teach homeroom?" Mina asks Tsu.
"Well, Mr Aizawa is supposed to be in the hospital recovering from his injuries—"
The doors slide open to reveal… Mr Aizawa wrapped head to toe in bandages, giving a good impression of a mummy. "Morning."
The entire class screams, "Mr Aizawa you're back too soon!"
Even Kaminari is disturbed, "You're too much of a pro!"
"Gonna be pretty hypocritical from now on whenever he calls out Midoriya on pulling stunts while injured." Peter notes.
"Hey!"
He shrugs, "Just saying!"
Iida raises his hand, "Sensei, are you alright?"
Uraraka, seeing Aizawa limp, can't help but say, "Can that even be considered ok?"
He squashes their worry though, "My wellbeing is not important. Right now the fight isn't over yet…"
Class 1A all hold their breath in trepidation, "… The UA sports festival is drawing near."
They all scream in relief, "That's a normal school event!"
Peter raises his hand, "Are you ever gonna stop leaving us in suspense like that?!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Peter rolls his eyes, "Of course you don't."
Jiro raises her hand this time, "Is it really okay to have a sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" a question hat is on many of the students mind.
"Apparently, the staff thinks that keeping the Sports Festival ongoing will show that UA's crisis management system is solid as a rock. Still Security will be strengthened fivefold over previous years just in case." He assures them.
"Above all our sports festival is a huge chance."
This triggers a memory of Peter's prior conversation with Tony Stark; I wouldn't miss you announcing your presence to the entire world and thousands of people in the stadium!"
Peter begins to pale, "T-thousands of p-people? The e-entire w-world!?"
Momo hears his whisper and notices how pale he's gotten, "Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh yea sure! Just peachy!" he gives a pretty cringeworthy smile that only causes her to raise an expectant eyebrow.
He sighs, "Just still wrapping my head around having so many people watch us."
She nods, "You're right. Many people including pro heroes and their agencies. This'll be the time show them why I was enrolled through recommendations." Her voice turning determined.
Huh, I was honestly expecting words of encouragement, somewhat disappointed but I'll take the distraction! "Well here's to hoping I don't make a fool of myself."
Jiro leans back, "With the likes of Kaminari in our ranks, I think the chances of that will be slim."
"Hey!"
Support Department
"Heads up Parker!"
Peter simply moved his head slightly to evade a rogue mechanical ball that flies whizzes past his ear. He doesn't flinch or even look up from his work as it bounces off the walls continuously while Mei cackles in delight while trying to catch her 'baby'.
"Dangit Hatsume!" Power Loader barely saves the mech suit he's working on from being toppled, "You better not ruin any of my projects you here?!"
"HAHAHAHA Rest easy sensei, just look at my baby! It's practically reaching mach 1 and is still nimble enough to avoid damaging anything! I'm so proud of you!"
His spider sense flashes a moment and he lifts his hands just in time as the ball bounces off the work bench, leaving a dent in the tough metal. Alright this is where I draw the line.
Peter waits a second then sticks out his hand, catching the machine effortlessly.
Mei stops running and catches her breath, "Nice catch!"
"Thanks," he tosses it to her, "You mind me asking what is this and is it going to explode?"
She cackles and pats her creation affectionately, "This baby here is a mini third eye! Developing it in case any company wants a new surveillance device! And if it's gonna explode… guess we'll find that out ourselves!"
He shakes his head with a tiny smile, "I expect nothing less at this point."
"A wise way to live." Power loader comments and plops back onto his seat, massaging the tension headache away. "Honestly if your inventions weren't so destructive from the get go I'd be impressed by how quickly you could make them!"
"I'll take that compliment!" she coos at her invention, "You hear that baby? You're making mama look good I'm so proud of you!"
"Maybe momma should consider a child leash before her baby starts to make her look bad." Her classmate quips.
Mei just grins then looks at what Peter is working on and she gasps in horror, "Oh no! What happened to your costume!?"
She grabs it and lifts up the tattered remains, "I knew you should've let me work on this one power loader! I could've doubled the durability easily!"
"We didn't have the necessary funds to do so and you put yourself in a small coma at that time remember!?"
"Oh yea. Well if you need help let me know but I'm gonna continue developing more babies for the sports festival so byeeeeee!"
Say what? Parker turns to her, "You're participating in the sports festival too?"
"Of course! With so many companies watching the event it'll be the perfect moment for the Support Department to shine! I can't wait to show the world my babies!" her bullseye styled eyes momentarily become stars.
How did she do that? He shakes his head but his spider senses tingles slightly as he notices the grin forming on her face, "Whatever it is, No!"
"Oh come on you're already in our department you're the best suited to help me exhibit my babies!" she pouts but he's having none of it.
"And be your glorified walking advertisement tower?! I think not!"
She quickly grabs his mask, which is the only thing he's having any success in restoring and improving with his available materials, "What if I help you—whoa did you make some adjustments?!" she holds the mask inside out, marveling at the circuitry.
He yanks it out her hands, "Yea, I want to go a little further with my suit instead of it being just a cloth onsie."
"From the looks of it, I'd say you're trying to add a heads up display in the lenses… similar to a certain genius billionaire superhero we both admire." She teases with a smirk.
Peter blushes, "W-well I-I admire him and he's my favorite superhero!"
She laughs and smacks his back loudly, "Same! But if you're gonna do that, you're gonna have to change the lenses completely especially if you want it to do anything like zoom in or even change spectrums of vision."
"You're saying make the eyes expressive basically?"
She shrugs, "Whatever makes it work especially with how thin everything will be. Ironman's suit is larger than his body for obvious reasons so he can add much more to his suit since there's at least a 3 inch size difference, which allows him to have all his weapons and whatnot inside the suit."
"Which isn't a luxury I'll have since it'll make my suit to cumbersome for me. (sigh) who knew superheroing would be so hard to deal with!"
"I did! That's why I stick to support!"
"Really? You don't see yourself going pro at any point?"
She flips her goggles on and laughs loudly while she starts disassembling her creation, "Please, give me a lab over crime fighting any day! Besides I do my best work on a work bench, I'm not exactly the hero type!"
Peter leans forward thoughtfully, "That's exactly what Tony Stark said before he became Ironman."
She stops working and gazes at Peter expressionlessly. "Well I'm not Tony Stark am I?"
He raises his hands in peace, "Just saying! Anyone can be a hero!"
"But not everyone can be a good one."
"All a matter of perspective."
She sighs, "I think I liked it better when I was annoying you."
"Aha! I knew you were doing it on purpose!"
Power loader shakes his head affectionately, "kids."
"Izuku! Did you pack sunblock?" Inko calls out as Izuku fits his towel in a bag.
"Yes! And I got an extra change of clothes too!" he calls back as he ties his red sneaker laces.
His mom shakes her head affectionately, "My boy you're going to the beach why're you wearing your sneakers?"
He smiles sheepishly, "W-well I-I like them they're my f-favorite."
She just giggles and ruffles his hair, "I'm so happy you're going to spend time with your friends especially with what happened."
She softly bats her hand away from his head, "Mom we're ok remember?"
"Still if anything happens promise me you'll stay safe!" she says seriously.
He nods, "I promise!"
A knock is heard and they open the door to reveal Peter and May, Peter being the one in beach gear. He looks down at Izuku's feet.
"Dude why're you wearing your sneakers when we're going to the beach?"
He groans as Inko laughs into her hand, "That's what I said!"
Peter shakes head, "Come on Midoriya we're gonna be late, See ya Aunt May! Bye Mrs Midoriya!"
"You boys stay safe!" May calls back as the pair leave.
Aunt May opens her bag and takes out her favorite wine bottle, "I have the perfect relaxation medicine now that the boys are gone!"
Inko laughs and quickly gets two wine cups from the cupboard. As may opens the bottle and pours the contents Inko can't help but ask, "May, can I ask you something?"
She takes a sip of her wine, "Sure, fire away."
"Do… do you regret sending Peter to UA?"
She blinks, "What do you mean?"
Inko sighs heavily as she takes a seat, playing with the cup of wine in hand, "It's just, I want to support Izuku as he chases his dream I really do, but the attack at USJ, it made me realize just how dangerous this could be. And finding out how hurt he was when it happened—" her breath hitches as tears begin to pour from her eyes.
May comforting squeezes her hand, "Oh Inko, I'm not gonna lie to you, I get just as worried. And yes I won't pretend that I'm not terrified that Peter will end up like Ben."
Inko's eyes widen and she frantically backtracks, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to remind you of that please forgive me!"
May assures her, "it's fine. You don't need to apologize. (sigh) I won't say that I don't think of it often, or that I don't miss Ben terribly everyday. But Peter… he's so much like Ben. He cares about others freely and tries to do the right thing no matter what! Izuku is just like that too! I've known Ben and Peter long enough to know that stopping them from doing what they think is right… that'd be worse than killing them. And if Izuku is as alike to Peter as I believe he is, then the case is the same for him too. I my not like it, but this is who they are. What better way is there to live than to be true to ones self?"
Inko smiles tearfully, thinking about the smile Izuku wore when he realized he was enrolling in UA. A true and genuine smile, one he hasn't truly worn since he first saw his favorite All Might video. She laughs tearfully, "These kids are gonna be the death of us aren't they?"
May grins and holds up the bottle, "That's why I brought this!"
The two share a laugh as they continue to bask in their friendship.
Kirishima plants the umbrella into the sand firmly and grins widely, "The Blazing Sun! The Cheerful Beach!" he sniffs the sea breeze deeply as if to nourish his lungs, "Ahhhh! The seaside is truly the best!"
"I would make fun of you for how dramatic you're being but I'd do the same thing if you weren't already!" Mina admits as she sets her things down.
The floating clothes of Hagakure come into view as she pushes all her things into Ojiros arms. "Wow this beach really is beautiful! We're so lucky that the city finally had it cleaned and open for the public!"
Izuku smiles inwardly as he hears them speak about it, little do they know.
"Too bad we only have today to enjoy it." Ojiro laments as he places all their stuff on the towel and takes off his shirt.
He double takes as he could've swore he saw a floating blush above Hagakures shirt. Hmm must've been the sun.
Momo and Jiro make it, Momo being the one who brought everyone food, "Hello everyone! I brought some snacks for us to enjoy while we're here."
She places the plates on the towel and once again Uraraka's eyes nearly pop out her head, "Is-is that shrimp?!"
"Yes! It's my favorite beachside snack to have while enjoying the sun." Momo gushes.
"So… rich." Uraraka whispers to herself.
She looks to Izuku and smiles, "This is shaping up to be a great beach day don't you think?"
He smiles back at her, "Yea! I-I brought a volleyball too in case anyone wanted to play a game."
He takes off his shirt and all the breath in Uraraka's chest escapes as she witnesses Izuku's muscular torso. Mina whistles appreciatively, "Wow Midoriya! Who knew you were hiding those muscles under those under those baggy clothes!"
He bows his head in embarrassment from the attention, twiddling his thumbs. He raises a confused eyebrow as he sees Uraraka staring at him with blood dripping from her nose, "Uraraka you're bleeding! Did you get hurt!?"
She blushes deeply while covering her face, "Whaa! No it's just the dry heat! Yea that's it!"
She turns her back to him and removes the clothes she was wearing, revealing a form fitting one piece swimsuit that has Izuku feeling light headed.
Mina and Hagakure giggle as they see the pair fawn over each other, "Hey Midoriya I think you have a bit of drool on your mouth."
He yelps as he wipes frantically all the while trying not to make eye contact with Ochako. Peter laughs to himself at his friends antics, "Come on guys I don't think the poor guy can take anymore teasing."
"Alright alright fine!" they relent and the class begin to enjoy themselves, eating food, conversing and getting to know one another better. Jiro asks Peter and Momo, "What kind of music you guys like?"
Momo answers first, "Classical music and Jazz are what were played most in my childhood though I am partial to certain latin music I've heard when we visited Cuba."
"You mean like Salsa?" Peter asks.
Momo's smile grows, "Yes! Oh it's so wonderful! And so fun to dance to!"
"You'd definitely love this one block in Harlem, every Saturday night they have a salsa block party with some of the best food in the world!"
"What kind of food?" Jiro asks.
"All kinds really but my favorite thing to eat is a Sope, it's a traditional Mexican dish, it's like a thick tortilla with refried beans and cheese and avocado and meat and lettuce and all that goodness on top! It's messy as hell but sooooooo good!" Peter gushes, much to their amusement.
Momo perks up, "That sounds like the perfect food to eat for my quirk."
Peter snaps his fingers, "Oh yea you said you create things using the lipids in your body right?"
"Yes, and the more I intake the more I can create."
"I gotta introduce you to the sope then!"
"Sadly there aren't many Spanish restaurants in this side of the world."
He agrees with her then Jiro asks, "And what kind of music are you into Peter?"
He blushes, "My music taste is kinda all over the place, I'll listen to music that's current like Twenty one Pilots or Jack harlow, or music from centuries ago from bands like Queen or Iron Maiden."
Jiro blinks, "That's like around the time that the X men made their debut, you weren't kidding about listening to old music!"
He shrugs, "What can I say I'm an old soul!"
At that moment Mina gets everyones attention again, "Come on guys! We're at a beach! Let's go in the water!"
Everyone starts chasing after her and Momo shrugs and gets up revealing the two piece red bikini she's wearing. Peter's jaw drops, openly staring at the goddess standing before him. Seriously if Momo wasn't becoming a pro hero then Swimsuit model would definitely be in the realm of possibility! Momo notices Peter staring and instead of being angered by it she's… flattered? Why do I feel flattered? She shakes her head and clears her throat, breaking Peter out of his trance. Blood rushes to his cheeks as he realizes he was caught and he quickly takes of his shirt and stretches, unaware at the gaping stare Momo was giving him. Wow, I knew he had a good figure after seeing him in his suit but seeing it unobscured and in person it's…
"Like what you see?" Hagakure asks, startling Momo.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to see you drool over Parker-Kun." She teases.
Momo blushes maddeningly, "I was not drooling!"
"There's still some on your chin."
Momo's hand quickly wipes but feels nothing and she glares as Hagakure giggles, "Sorry! Just saying you have a good eye for boy toys!"
"That's not—I wouldn't—Parker is just—"
"Come on let's enjoy ourselves!" the invisible girl pulls the vice class rep into the water as they all begin to have fun, splashing each other and surfing the waves. Peter uses his enhanced agility to flip expertly into the air and land perfectly back in the water in a way that would make even the best pro surfer jealous. Hours pass as they all have fun, unaware of a figure made of water raising slightly from the ocean surface and watching the beach patrons before disappearing back into the water.
Peter feels a slight tingle in his spider sense and looks back but sees nothing. Huh, weird. But he shrugs and continues, this time they begin a game of volleyball. It's a playful game with no sense of competition as all they want to do is enjoy themselves… well everyone but Uraraka. Wow she's surprisingly competitive! Peter thinks as he watches Jiro sets the ball and Momo hits it to the other side of the net but Ochaco vaults and spikes the ball right in Kirishima's face, knocking the boy to the ground. Midoriya turns to Ochaco with an impressed and somewhat scared look, "Wow you're a lot stronger than I thought!"
She smiles with a dark atmosphere around her, "That's one step closer to winning!"
He sweat drops, "I think you're taking this game a little too seriously."
But Peter is getting more and more distracted as his spider sense keeps going off. He turns his head again but is just hit with a volleyball in the face.
"Come on Parker you're bringing our team down with you!" Kirishima teases.
Peter laughs halfheartedly, "I'm gonna sit the rest of the game out, kinda tired right now."
As he walks on Momo senses that there's something more to it and excuses herself from the game as well. She sits next to Peter who's surveying the beach intently. "Is everything ok?"
He jumps slightly, startled by her presence but smiles, "Yea just spider sense tingling."
"You're… you're what?"
He blinks, "Oh yea I never told you about it."
"About what?"
"I have this I guess sixth sense that alerts me to danger, tingles at the base of my skull whenever it goes off."
"No wonder you always seem to move out the way whenever you're in danger before you're hit, at least most times!"
"Yea sometimes I'm not fast enough or sometimes I just don't react, it's weird it's an instinct when it's a severe danger but I guess when it's mild it's left up to me and I sometimes don't rise to the occasion." He admits.
She raises an eyebrow and"… And you named it what again?"
"I affectionately refer to it as my spider sense!" he answers without a shortage of pride.
She nods but a question forms in her head, "So is whatever you're sensing now a minor danger."
He shrugs, "maybe but it's a danger nonetheless, and it's been consistent for a while now."
She snaps her fingers, "No wonder you seemed so distracted!"
Well there were many reasons why I was distracted but sure lets go with that.
His eyes land on a small crying child on the far side of the beach. Wordlessly he gets up and starts walking to the child. Not wanting to be left behind Momo follows him and they get to the crying child, who instantly stops crying and smiles widely. "Hi!"
"Umm hi," Peter greets, "What're you doing here all by yourself?"
He's still smiling widely, "I live here and I'm not by myself, I'm with my family."
Momo looks around but sees no one, "Where is your family?"
Peter can't help but feel creeped out at the child's smile and he could've swore that his eyes darkened a little, "Oh they're around. Everywhere."
Feeling somewhat disturbed Momo pulls Peter back a little and whispers, "I'm getting a bad feeling about this child."
"No kidding and my spider sense is slowly flaring the more time we stand near him. So either I'm crazy or—"
"Or the child is the source of danger." She finishes and they both slowly gaze at the child. But they're shocked to see that instead of a child, it's a grown man now.
"Whoa uh are you that kids dad?" Peter asks as he looks left and right for the child who's nowhere to be seen.
"There is no child here?" the man begins to sport the same creepy smile that the child wore.
"Peter I think he is that child."
"But how?"
They both try to take a step back but can't. Peter sees that the water from the waves seems to have solidified around their ankles. He uses more strength than normal to free his feet before looking back at the man. "What was your name?"
"Morris, Morris Bench."
"Um so Morris, what brings you here?"
This question seems to snap Morris back to reality as he looks around like as if he's finally aware. "I'm here because—why am I here? Oh that's right I was supposed to play with my family. Today's our beach day!"
He smiles but as he smiles tears start to fall. "Where's your family Morris?"
Momo asks as she and Peter slowly step back, their bodies tense.
The smile looks broken as the question sinks in, "They were here… but but now they're not. I-we- we were playing in the water. My son," water falls off his body as he suddenly transforms into the child from before, "He wanted me to use my quirk—he wanted to go deeper in the water." The water resorbs back into his body and he returns to his adult form, " I –I oh god what did I do?!"
He falls to his knees and starts sobbing into his hands, rocking back and forth, "I lost-I lost control! He wouldn't stop sinking! My –my Wife wouldn't stop sinking! I couldn't save th-them!" his form begins going back and forth between the child and himself and a woman all crying terribly until it stops in his normal adult form and he stops rocking.
He lifts his head from his hands and grins manically. "I want to play!"
Suddenly his form becomes water and he seeps into the waves. An intense pain hits Peter's skull as his Spider sense tingles stronger than ever before! A split second passes and he scoops Momo bridal style and leaps out the way of a giant water fist. The beahc patrons begin to scream in terror as a large creature shaped like a man emerges, made entirely of water. Peter keeps hopping with Momo in his arms trying to get back to the group who've all become aware of the danger.
"What the hell is even that!" Kirishima wxclaims.
"It's some nutjob going crazy and he can apparently turn into water." Peter explains.
The deranged villain slams his arm across the beach like a tidal wave, the patrons barely getting out the way but for some reason still staying near the danger. Some re smiling, "Oh I wonder which pro is gonna show up?"
"I hope it's Endeavor!"
"Are you kidding? He doesn't even come to this side of the city plus isn't fire quirks weak against water quirks?"
"Are these people stupid?! They need to get out of here now!" Peter yells in clear frustration.
"Ummm Parker-kun, I appreciate the help but can you please let me down?" Momo asks, cheeks slightly flushed.
Peter was too distracted from the danger to realize he was still holding her and quickly lets her back to her feet in embarrassment. Neither one will admit it but for a second they both felt slightly disappointed from letting go as it was a lot more comfortable than they're willing to admit for Momo to be in Peter's arms. Izuku speaks up, "We have to get these people away from here!"
"My thoughts exactly!" Peter opens his bag and searches through it as the water villain laughs while absorbing more of the beach water.
"Guys we can't do anything, we don't have a license rememeber? We'll get in trouble if we use our quirks!" Toru argues.
Peter stops and gives her a look, "Seriously? There's no telling when any pro will show up! If someone doesn't do anything these people can seriously be hurt," he notices some are still standing there watching, "Especially because they're treating it like Saturday morning cartoons! Hey buddy! Get out of here!"
The beach patron glares at Peter as he takes out a camera and begins taking pics, "And miss a pro hero battle? Fuck off!"
Peter's spider sense tingles and Morris raises his giant watery fist and strieks downward towards the hapless citizen who's screaming in fear at the nearing danger. Quickly Peter finds what he's looking for and attaches the webshooter his wrist, he quickly fires a line at the citizen and yanks him to safety just as a crater is made where he was standing. Peter catches him and sets the flustered citizen down. "Now will you get the hell out of here?!"
"Y-Yea you're the boss!"
He starts running away and again Peter's spider sense tingles and he orders everyone to move. They escape the tidal wave and this time Izuku speaks up, "Parker-kun is right! We need to at least get these people to safety, we don't have to use our quirks but we can at least clear the area!"
"Didn't Peter just use his quirk though?" Jiro asks.
Peter waves his web shooter, "These aren't part of my quirk just a tool so I'm free to use it!"
Momo secretly conjures a megaphone and tells the group, "Then it's decided! We'll do crowd control! I'll get their attention the rest of you help the crowd clear the area!"
They nod and begin doing so, despite the villain's rampage. Thankfully he is hampered by his childlike mentality which seems to truly want to play, but unfortunately what he believes are playful swats are giant attacks of death due to his increased size. Thankfully the group is able to clear the beach just in time just as pro heroes finally make the scene.
Big Chill and Death Arms both arrive. Big Chill tells Death Arms, "I'll try to slow him down, you clear a path to for the citizens."
"Right!"
Big chill slides on the ice ramp he makes and gets himself eye level with the villain.
"Are you here to play with me?"
"No villain! I am here to demand that you cease this rampage or I will be forced to stop you myself!"
Peter raises an eyebrow, "Why is he speaking like that?"
Izuku shrugs, "lot's of rookie heroes like to make big statements to get noticed more!"
He scoffs, "Everyones noticing him alright, acts like a bigger dork than me."
"I didn't think that was possible." Jiro quips.
"Hey!"
Back to Big Chill, the villain answers, "But daddy promised we could play in the water!"
"Fine, um H-Hydroman, you leave me no choice!"
He then ice blasts Hydro Man in the face, freezing it and causing him to bellow in pain. His watery face twists into one of anger and his body becomes a swirling vortex of water and engulfs the pro hero, swirling him around violently before shooting him out into the city streets. Panicking, Big Chill blasts ice to try to slow down but ends up nearly freezing the screaming citizens and throwing vehicles of all kinds into the air. One starts flipping towards a group of innocent civilians huddled in fear and Peter rushes towards. He leaps clear over the semi truck and thinking quickly, he places a thumb over the nozzle of his webshooter and fires causing it to splay outwards like a net and attaching itself to two lamp posts. He holds the web as he lands and lets go just as the truck is upon him. The web catches the truck and bounces it back safely to the street, saving the civilians. They all start to thank him but he quickly gets back to the group.
"Peter! You can't keep using your quirk!" Momo scolds.
"Oh come on not you too!?"
"There are rules we have to follow—" she tries to explain.
"Momo did you see what would've happened if I didn't stop that truck? All those people would've been crushed! Did you want me to let it happen?"
She looks away guiltily, "N-no but—we were told— it's not that simple!"
"Sure it is! Their lives are in danger, we stop the danger simple as that!"
"But you could get expelled!"
"I'd rather be expelled than have another death on my conscious!"
"Another?—Peter what happened?"
At that moment Hydro Man screams in rage and water from the city pipes burst from the ground, erupting all around the city blocks and becoming absorbed by him. Izuku activates full cowl and quickly moves civilians out the way of the eruptions while Kirishima hardens and gets in the way of debris that was hurtling towards a family, grunting from the hit but otherwise happy to have saved them. "Holy shit!" Peter whispers.
Death Arms goes to his unconscious partner and curses, "Damn, my quirk is no good for this, all I can do is direct the crowd and hope for someone with a suitable quirk to arrive!"
Peter points at him and turns to Momo, "Hear that? How many lives can end before that happens? Please Momo work with me here and I'll accept any consequence after, hell I'll take full responsibility for this!"
Momo nods, "Ok desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm sorry to ask this, but can you keep him distracted to keep him from causing more damage?"
Peter smiles and giveds her a thumbs up, "You got it Princess!"
And he leaps into action swinging up higher until he's perched on a roof of a building, "Hey there Morrie gotta sec?"
The villain turns to Peter and frowns, "No No! Don't call me that! Call me what meanie called me!"
Peter tilts his head with a finger on his chin, "Hydrant man?"
"No! Hydro Man!"
"I'm pretty sure he said hydrant man, boy the dogs must love you!"
"Stop being mean!"
He sends a wave at Peter who leaps to the next rooftop, "I'm the meanie!? I'm not the one trying to give the city a swirlie, bet you experienced quite a few of those growing up huh?"
Hydro man growls and becomes a vortex again trying to get Peter who tries swinging around him, "Yikes that was close! I hope everyone else is having an easier time than me!"
"Uraraka I have a someone trapped under some rubble in the convenience store, I need you to use your quirk to lift the debris it's too heavy for me too move!" Momo asks.
"Got it!" Urarak then touches each boulder, which all begin to float in the air as Jiro and Momo pull the old man out from under.
He grunts, "My leg!"
Momo notcies that it's broken and she begins to conjure splints and some rope to set it, "This may hurt a little but I need you to bare with me sir."
Hw whimpers but nods as she tightens the leg splint and Jiro helps him up and assists him to safety. Uraraka waits until they're clear before she releases her quirk. Everything falls back to the ground but the impact destabilizes the structure around her and debris starts to fall towards her. She gasps as she sees it fall towards her and is too slow to move. She throws her hands up and closes her eyes waiting for the impact but then hears, "URARAKA-CHAN!"
Suddenly Izuku appears and carries her out the way just in time. He leaps and flips back towards the street and he settles her to the ground, she sighs in relief and smiles, "Thank you Deku-kun!"
He checks her worriedly, "Are you alright?" he asks as he deactivates full cowling.
She's about to answer but Sees that a flipped car behind Izuku had gas leaking and sparks from it's headlight ignites the flame and it quickly reaches the tank. "Watch out!"
Izuku looks back to see the explosion and only has enough time to huddle Uraraka close while the force of the explosion throws them off their feet and tumbling across the road, with Izuku taking most of the damage. They stop with Uraraka on top of Izuku. Her eyes widen and she scrambles back once realizing their positon but notices that Izuku is unconscious. "Deku-kun! Deku-kun! Wake up!"
She tries to get him to wake to no avail. Tears start to form as she continues to fail to rouse her classmate. Peter notices this from high above and he stops, "Izuku no!"
Unfortunately his distraction leaves him open to be sucked into the water vortex, He's flung head over heals inside hydro man, who's laughing face taunts Peter. Crap, I didn't even get a chance to catch my breath! Can't get my bearings either, I don't know which side is up or down! this isn't good!
As he desperately tries to figure out what to do, an ice blast hits Hydro man who again roars in pain. The vortex stops and Peter falls out and lands hard on a car under them. Big Chill groans in pain but is still standing as he blasts hydro man again, "Hey, we're not finished yet!"
He uses a ice ramp to circle around hydro man, freezing different sections of his body, slowing him down significantly. Peter holds his head and groans, "He couldn't have done that earlier?"
Jiro finds Peter and helps him off the car, "How're you feeling?"
"About as good as I can feel falling stories high onto a car."
"Wow I asked a Kaminari level dumb question."
He chuckles, "I appreciate the humor actually. Hey I have an idea, can you get Momo for me?"
She nods and runs off to find her friend while Peter gets to his bag back towards the beach, he opens it up and starts rummaging through it, "I'm so happy I forgot to empty it out before I got ready for the beach. Aha!"
He pulls out his mask and quickly puts it on, "Please work please work please work, YES!"
A heads up display comes alive and immediately starts scanning the area. He swings back towards the battle and finds a puddle of water that fell from Hydro Man. He activates the scanner in his mask and analyzes the water, "Alrighty lets hope Bench's liquid form is as good a catalyst as regular H2O. if it is then I have just the solution to take him down!"
The scanner finishes it's job and to his relief, his body truly is similar to normal H2O. His spider sense goes off and he quickly gets out the way as Hydro man becomes a jet stream of water with Big Chill at the forefront, smashing him against multiple surfaces before throwing him against a water tank. Big Chill groans in pain and can't even stand anymore as he weakly looks up at the watery devil who forms the ice into a nice thin blade like sheet, "I don't wanna play with you anymore!" Hydro Man says and he thrust the dangerous ice towards the pro hero but just in time, Mirko appears and kicks the ice, shattering it and grabs Big Chill by the collar and leaps him towards safety.
"Thanks for warming up the bad guy, now let a real pro handle this." She smirks and leaps into action.
"Someone new to play!"
He dodges his massive fists and smirks again, "Sorry squirt but I'm no ones toy!"
As she battles the water giant, Peter and Momo meet up, "you needed me Parker-kun?"
"There's something I need you to do!"
"Shit this is tougher than I thought!" Mirko says as her kick splashes through Hydro Man's body, it hardens around her trapped ankle and throws her through a billboard. Peter lands Near her.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I have a way to beat him!"
"Kid this is no time to play hero, get out of here before you make things worse!"
"Please just listen, you won't have a chance to beat him without my help!"
Mirko curses before sighing, "Fuck it, I'll humor you, what do you got?"
"My friend was able to make a coagulant that'll react to the H2O in his body and become a hardening agent, it'll stop him in his tracks and he'll become a regular person again. I have it in this web cartridge all I need to do is shoot him with my webs!"
Mirko blinks, "that's… actually brilliant, how quickly will it work?"
"Don't know, it depends on the amount of H2O in his body."
A shadow looms over them as the building sized Hydro Man sneers down at them, "That's a lot of water." Peter deadpans.
They both cartwheel away from his slam and Peter instantly starts to unload his webs at the villain. "Stay still!"
Peter somersaults out the way, "Make me!"
Hydro Man raises his fist again but Peter webs his face, the contents dissolving into the water and Mirko leaps high in the air and kicks him hard, actually hurting him. "What?" Hydro Man confusedly grips his jaw.
Peter continues to shoot his webs until all his cartridges are depleted and Hydro Man begins to shrink, "What!? No! No fair! No Fair!"
He's now the size of a normal man and Mirko stalks towards him with a dangerous smirk, "Sorry buddy, life's not fair."
And she socks him good, knocking him out. Momo runs up conjuring a large absorbent sheet that they use to wrap the villain in. As sirens start to near the group reunites around the downed villain, with Mina exclaiming, "Wow that was so cool guys! We're 2-0 now!"
Mirko chuckles and narrows her eyes at the group, "So before the cops arrive, mind explaining why you students decided to illegally use your quirks?"
Without missing a beat they all point at Peter. "…. Wow seriously?"
Mirko crosses her arms expectantly and Peter sighs, "We did start with crowd control—"
"Clearly it didn't stay that way." Mirko cuts him off.
Annoyed he continues, "—but Big Chill and Death Arms were getting their asses handed to them… we Big Chill was, death Arms didn't even try honestly."
"Again? (sighs) Why did they even give him a license?"
"Look if we didn't act, a lot of people would've died and honestly we're training to be heroes, and they don't just stand around doing nothing."
Mirko raises an eyebrow as they all see Death Arms in the distance… Standing around doing nothing. "Well most of them anyway."
Mirko shakes her head as the police finally arrive on scene and they begin clean up. "Illegally using your quirks like this is an act of vigilantism that normally ends with those involved either expelled or jailed."
They all hold their breathes, "But, and it really pains me to admit it, there wouldn't have been anyway for us to defeat this villain, at least not before untold destruction and death happened. So tell you what, just this once, I'll cover for you. I'll tell them that I gave you my permission due to your 'specific quirks being well suited for this predicament'. Just don't do it again."
They all let their breaths out in relief while Ojiro asks, "Won't those two deny your statement?"
"She scoffs, "if they want to keep their licenses they'll stay quiet."
Peter shrugs, "I'm not biting the hand that feeds me."
Mirko smirks then nods at Peter to come to her, "You got talent kid and a good head on your shoulders."
"Um thanks."
"What's your quirk?"
"OH uh it's uh spider quirk."
"So you can do anything a spider can?"
"Everyone says that exact phrase for some reason, but yea."
She crosses her arms and smirks, "Tell you what, give it your all in the sports festival and maybe in the future you can come to my agency, with your quirk, I think you could fit right in. Plus there's enough similarities in our quirks that I think oyu'll bebenfit from."
His eyes widen, "You mean I can intern with you?"
"Keep impressing me and you might."
With that she leaves and begins debriefing the police.
Uraraka watches Deku worriedly as he's being checked out by the Ambulance. She looks down at her hands dejectedly when she feels someone stand next to her.
"He's fine you know?" Peter reassures her.
She sighs, "I know. It's just, I hate that he got hurt again trying to save me, again."
"Come on Uraraka, you know Midoriya, he'll do anything to help anyone in need especially his friends."
"I know and that's one of the things that makes him great, but what kind of hero or friend can I be if all I'm good for is making people I care about risk their necks for me?"
Peter takes a moment to think, trying to figure out the right thing to say. "You'd be just like anyone else. You know how many times my friends Harry and Gwen had to bail me out whenever I was being bullied or given swirlies?"
"What's a swirly?"
"It's when they dunk your head in a toile—nevermind that, my point is, that's what friends are for. To help each other when we're in need. You'll get your chance to return the favor. Plus I'm pretty sure the people you saved consider you a hero."
She smiles as she remembers how grateful the old man was once he saw them again. "Thanks Parker-kun."
"No problem." He double takes as he sees the look of longing she's sending to Izuku. He looks back and froth between the two as he makes a connection and smirks, "Is there any other reason why you're worried about him?"
"huh? What do you mean?"
"Nothing it's just I cn't help but realize you said there's a few more reason why he's great, you keeping a list or something?"
She begins to blush, "Wha-what're you trying to say!?"
He chuckels as he starts to walks away, "Nothing at all! You get home safe ok?"
As he begins to walk away Momo appears and ask if she can speak with him privately. He agrees and follows her back to the beach, "Hey did you ever find out who that guy is?" Peter asks.
"I overheard the police, Morris Bench was an American soldier who had been stationed at a base in Okinawa, had a family as well. Apparently he took his family on a snorkeling trip when unbeknownst to them an underwater experiment was being performed. It went wrong and the chemicals were released into the waters, causing him to lose control and everything was destroyed in a 3 mile radius. He was presumed dead but he surfaced today. They suspect that the chemicals altered the chemicals in his brain when he was in his hydro form and left his psyche broken."
Peter frowns, "That's terrible, hopefully they help him. He didn't choose to be a villain."
She smiles at his compassion, "I hope so too… Peter I have to apologize again. I shouldn't have tried to stop you."
Peter waves her off, "Momo- Yaoyoruozu, it's ok. Look I have a hard time adjusting to things here. Back in America, there are way more villains then there are heroes, so because of that we have a lot more vigilantes and though we have the same laws, the police aren't exactly enforcing it as much."
"Which is the opposite here because of the high concentration of pro heroes. It's funny, we live on the same planet and yet it feels like we come from two different worlds."
He chuckles, "That's one way of putting it."
"Peter can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"you don't have to answer if you don't want to… why did you say you have a death on your conscious?"
Peter breaks eye contact as pain fills his very being, "I'm sorry!"
"No it's fine, I was bound to talk about it anyway… just promise me you won't think differently of me when I tell you."
"I promise."
"… when my quirk activated, I had no intention of being a hero. I always wanted to be a scientist and that wasn't gonna change. Most I wanted to do was get back at my bullies. Hh. But my Uncle Ben, he was such a great man. Wiser than anyone I know. He believed I could do more, that I could follow the principles he shared with my father… That with Great power comes great responsibility."
She smiles warmly, "very wise words indeed."
He grins and wipes a tear away, "Yea they are… but I threw them right back at his face. We had an argument and I stormed out. I went to a store to get some snacks but the guy was such a dick, saying that it's not his problem to help me out. As I'm leaving, he gets robbed and he asks me for help. And I tell him it's not my problem."
Momo jerk backs, surprised that Peter, who since she's known him has been one of, if not the most selfless person she's ever met. "Yea. I let him get away. And not a few minutes later, I hear a gunshot. When I get to where it came from, I found my uncle dying. He-he died right in my hands."
Peter sniffles and Momo takes his hand comfortingly, "you don't have to continue."
"I do. When the police arrived at our house they showed us a sketch of the killer… it was the same man I let go."
Momo's hands flew up to her mouth in horror, tears forming. "If I had acted then, if I hadn't have been a selfish asshole, my uncle would still be alive right now. I was so angry, I wanted revenge. I found out where he was and I chased after him, I beat him. I wanted to kill him… but I didn't because I rememebered Uncle Ben's principles and the hopes he had for me, I couldn't kill him if I wanted to be the man my Uncle believed I could be. So I left him for the cops to arrest. And I spent every chance I could as a vigilante for a while, trying to honor Uncle Ben's memory."
"I'm … I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to understand your grief."
"Honestly I hope you never do. I hope you never have to feel this. But I do hope you understand now. I can't stand by and do nothing again, or else someone might lose their Uncle Ben."
"It's not so easy Peter, the rules of society, they won't stand for that."
He shrugs, "It doesn't matter what the consequences will be, I just want to do the right thing."
That little confession opens a whirlpool of emotion in Momo. Her parents had her sent to become a hero because of how well it would represent their image, their esteemed family producing a fine pro hero, it'd be perfect. And at first that was her reasons for being in UA. But the more time she spent with everyone in her class, the more time she spent with Peter, she realized what it truly means to be a hero. And she realized just how much she wants to be a hero. A hero, like Peter.
"You're a good man Parker-kun. I may not have known him, but im certain your Uncle is proud of the man you are."
A genuine smile grows on his face, "Thank you Momo—Yaoyorozu, sorry."
"It's fine."
"I'm still getting used to the language."
"Tell you what, I can help you with speaking Japanese, and in return you can help me develop my quick thinking and ingenuity." She offers.
Taken aback, Peter asks, "Really what for?"
"You really surprised me thinking up such a quick and effective solution to defeat Hydro Man, I wanna learn how to think outside the box as well."
They both smile at each other, their hearts beating madly in their chest as their bond deepens.
"OK yea, It's deal, Thanks Yaoyorozu-kun!"
She grins sweetly, "Of course what're friends for?"
Authors note: There we are everyone! I hope you liked how i handled HydroMan, i did my best with the action sequence but i chose to do this to high light how much everyone is shackled by the laws of the MHA world and i chose to alter HydroMan's altered state to start conversations for everyone to have espcially with how villains are treated or even made due to societies biases, this'll start things and even some attitude changes for our characters. I will say this, I'm trying to keep everyone as in character as possible but just a warning, they may act Out of character at some points, mostly cause Peter just has that affect on people lol. Anyway, i hope y'all enjoyed this and keep a look out because Norman is gonna start to make moves in the future, though his true debut as the green goblin won't come just yet but it'll be quite the spectacle when it does happen! Once again thank you to everyone who favorited, followed and reviewed!
greengoblin12: Oh yes! and he's definitely gonna cause Peter some pain! i'm gonna try to handle it as best i can but Goblin will do some pretty dark things in this story just saying!
TheGreatGodzilla:I'll be honest, i wasn't planning on involving a Captain America in my story, if anything i was only planning on introducing a few people inspired by him, that'll possibly be Elijah Bradley, i am familiar with him as well and slightly off topic, kinda hoping he will be introduced in the Falcon and Winter soldier show. I respectfully have to disagree with you when it comes to All Might, i do agree that he's a stickler for the rules but i don't believe he would follow orders that were unjust or immoral, from what i've seen he is a hero through and through and he would do the right thing as long as he can. The thing is, to me, Their different eras is a factor. In Captain Aemricas era yes freedom above all else is necessary before peace espcially because of how negative peoples opinion is concerning quirks which would make them agree to things like hydra. but All Might is at a society that relatively speaking is in a much more peaceful and accepting state. Sure things do need to be improved and changed but all in all it's still alright. And Honeslty All Might may say he follows the rules but he does tend to do what he thinks is right despite the protests of others around him. And him proclaiming himself as a symbol of peace i don't think is a bad thing or egotistical. People like captain america and superman even are often times considered the symbol of peace for their eras, they never asked for it but that title was thrust upon them. and using Kingdom Come as an example, when those symbols are gone society collapses in various ways. All Might proclaiming himself as the symbol of Peace i believe was a good choice because in superhero societies, those are needed and if there isn't one chosen, then someone needs to step up to the plate, to give people and other heroes an example to look up to and follow. Yes there are many drawbacks to it, but sometimes a decision has to be made, even if it's not always a good decision. Basically i think that with the cards in hand, he made the best decision he could make in that situation especially with All for one being an established symbol of evil at the time. I believe you're right that a schism will come especially because of what's happening in the manga currently but i don't think there was much else he could've done at that time but at least in my story, things like that will change which i am going to clarify when Peter is interning With Ironman. Though it's a good idea, i wasn't planning on PEter and Momo getting together until after the Venom arc, which also will be something that causes negative emotions to grow and feed the symbiote. I can't tell you what Peter will do that causes the next host to hate him but it'll make sense once i write it especially with the person i have in mind, i think once you see him in the story you'll know who it is especially cause we all kinda see how easily this character can become a villain. Aizawa will heal like he did in the manga and anime, Dr Cho and her work won't be introduced yet so unfortunately she won't be helping aizawa at this time, but her work won't be made only for pro heroes, i definitely think she would give it to the public. though just like surgeries that can restore a paraplegics ability to walk, it'll probably be too expensive for the general public to be able to use. Between All for one and Apocalypse, that's a hard question. when talking about power, i honestly think that in his prime, All for one would defeat Apocalypse given the fact that All for One has probably absorbed so many quirks and from what we've seen, figured out how to use them in a way that would enhance each other, he's basically all the x men in one body. Ideologically speaking, i think it's a stalemate, they represent the worst of each ideologies, All for one did want to prevent the type of society Apocalypse wants but he went further and basically ruled it like a tyrant and apocalypse, well we've already seen what he wants and how he'd run things, so i'd say they're two sides of the same coin. to be honest i don't think the MHA society is terrible, sure it's not the best and definitely needs upgrades, but honestly it could be a lot worse. I'd even go so far as to say that i'd feel safer in MHA than i would in other superhero worlds. When it comes to the high evolutionary, most of my knowledge came from the 90's cartoon show and i'm a bit rusty with it, but that's a good way to introduce them to the story, but when it comes to Nezu i had it in my head that he was an animal that was experimented on by All for one in a similar way as Gorilla Grodd in the Flash TV series, just much more violently. Now i appreciate you explaining to me the similarities between MHA's society and pre-islamic arabia, i had to read it a few times to fully understand it to be honest and am still reading it because everything about it is so new to me, i can't say that i would incorporate it in my story. First one being that though you did explain it to me, i feel that i can confidently apply it to my totry that would be effective or even respectful to be honest, i mean im not the best author and i feel like i would mess up in a way that just wouldn't sit right in my soul to be honest. and now that you told me that other authors are incorporating it, i feel like i shouldn't because then it would be too similar and that's from me as an authors point of view. i understand that im writing a story that has a similar idea as other writers, but i've been going out of my way to make it my own and that to me would make it too similar for my comfort. i hope you yes PEter knows batman is a movie, from what i've read in the marvel comics the Dc univerrse is also a comic for them as well and they reference it so i decided to throw that in as well, even if it's been centuries i feel like comic books will stand the test of time similar to how greek and roman mythology has and even is used to make movies and whatnot. I honestly was planning on using the star wars named places as part of a joke later on which now that i'm writing this i hope will be funny, but that is a interesting concept, sometimes i feel like i should make another story incoporating some of these ideas just causer they're really good. But with the MRD, they were a tool of Hydra at the time so when Hydra fell they fell as well, but some of them survived and they created an ideology that lead to the creation of the Friends of Humanity in this world, master molds ideology and choices lead to Hydra's weakening and eventual downfall since it shook up the publics trust in them and helped realized that 'Mutants' and humans were part of the same family. I know that in the marvel universe normally the X-gene is activated through stressful situations like puberty, there were some who have been activated earlier, like nightcrawler, yes it was due to experimentation when he was still a baby, it still was activated early and professor x, his mutation activated when he was 9 i believe and he only realized that the voice were other peoples thoughts when he was 12, others had them since birth as well so i just decided that in this universe, it was more common place for people to be born with quirks while late bloomers were the rarity. And mineta and Denki are no where near smooth enough to pull the 'Hey' move successfully, my bet is they'd be smacked the moment they even touch a womens shoulder lol
FanfictionFanantic78: oh hell yes Peter will survive! He's gonna have his happy ending of course but i won't promise a happy ending for Osborn, guys as bad as it gets and whenever he's around death and misery follows! i've read some stories like that too but don't worry Spiderman will live to fight another day!
Spider of the leaf: i honestly did not know that she was part russian, that actually makes sense though, i truly didn't make that connection before, i must've overlooked it, i'm currently reading through the manga again so hopefully i'll pick up on those details but that does actually change a few things for my story especially with their interactions with Peter, Black widows connection to MHA though will be much different. as i stated before she won't appear in this story but you'll have some easter eggs i agree Spiderman does have a good balance of dark and light stories, i remember Grim hunt being particularly dark but i'm trying to keep that balance as best i can, but dark times will be in PEter's horizon just saying. And thanks for the heads up on the misspelled words and names, i try to double read my stories but sometimes i write them or correct them when I'm in a rush or sleep deprived so miss a few of them, but soon i'm gonna go through my previous chapters and do a bit of clean up on some of them. And yea it's honestly maddening that even people closest to Peter didn't realize that something was wrong, like MJ boasts about knowing Peter so well yet didn't tell the difference between him and a 60 year old megalomaniac with a fragile ego, like people can tell when he's wearing a symbiote not when his conciousness has been taken over? And X-23 as wolverine was honestly underrated, it was very well done! I was thinking about using his PS4 suit, though i do like the white symbol, i may use the suggestion!
Noob 86: Momo and May will meet but i can't reveal how because it'll be spoilers, though these are all wonderful suggestions, some of which i've actually considered lol, but thanks honestly for having faith in my ability as an author, though the what if could be used in a different moment of the show so thank you for the suggestion!
Stan 18Lee: I'll be honest i've never watched the 2017 version of Spider-Man, the ones i have were all from the 80's to ultimate spider-man. What i've based this spiderman on was mostly the ultimate comics spiderman and the spectacular Spiderman since those two have been my favorite iterations of spidey, but i some times use inspirations in different versions of him so i'll give a look at the 2017 version to see what i can apply, and yes Peter will have his own team in the sports festival, i was planning on Having Momo as one of his team members as well, so hopefully you enjoy that chapter when it comes!
MusicLoverNA: Thank you so much! it really brightens my day to know you and others like my story this much! Yes I'm living vicariously through peter in his friendship with Izuku because he's always needed a true friend and what better friend is there to have than our friendly neighborhood spiderman!? I hope i don't disappoint as the story goes on!
OK KO: UA and Japanese Hero Society view magic as a serious responsibility. Honestly i've always beleived that japanese culture is more open towards magic than american culture so i feel like they would take it seriously and treat the practitioners with respect, especially someone like Dr Strange, and they wouldn't underestimate a magically powered villain.
Ultron 15: Here it is! lol i most definitely will be including the Two Heroes movie arc into the story especially with what i have planned for it to lead to and yes i have certain villains to take the place of the villains of the movie, there are a few changes i've made though it'll still loosely follow with the plot of the movie. but i will not be adding ultron or hydra, as i've stated in previous chapters, Hydra is long gone and Ultron isn't a villain i plan on using any time soon, though with the different ideas i've had especially for the future fix i'm planning, he may be involved later on but for now he's not in the picture. AIM won't be the group that's involved with the SHie Hassaikai group, i have a different one planned, one people will be familiar with if they follow the Xmen.
Anyway, till next time guys!
