Chapter 15

After so much anticipation, the Sports Festival had come to its end. Any and all students who needed it were treated by Recovery Girl before finally being allowed back to their classrooms. Even as Peter took his seat, many of his fellow clssmates were still congratulating him on his victory.

"Seriously out of everyone in the class I wouldn't expect you to be the one to win!" Toru's floating clothes jump into the air in exclamation.

Peter scratches his chin in slight confusion, "Is, is that supposed to be compliment cause you're like the third person to say that to me in some form or fashion."

Tokoyami bumps his shoulder to get his attention, "Take no offense to it. It's a sound statement given how powerful both todoroki and Bakugo's quirks are. Anyone would be hard pressed into thinking they'd be capable of defeating them in battle."

The queens native does have to agree with the point made, "Yea, I gotta count myself lucky that I wasn't cryogenically frozen by Shoto- I mean Todoroki." He shivers involuntarily while casting a glance to the recommended student.

Ever since he had awoken from the final battle, Todoroki had been quiet. Which isn't exactly something new. But growing up as the quiet social outcast, Peter knows very well that there's different levels to quietness. He turns his worried glance to his desk neighbor, Yaoyorozu. Peter noticed a change in her demeanor as well. After her loss she seemed to be alright, but once the festival was over. It seemed like she was slowly curling in on herself. Even as she sits, she seems defeated for lack of a better word. Her shoulders were slouched, a downcast expression in her eyes. And there was a crease in her eyebrows that ruins her otherwise perfect face.

Peter blushes and shakes his head. That's another issue that has come up as well. Ever since their… Almost kiss? Does it even count as an attempt? Did she want to? Oh my god was I forcing her too?! GAHH! Peter clutches his head and groans, alarming his classmates.

"Hey Parker, what's wrong?!" Kirishima asks.

Peter grins sheepishly, "N-Nothing's wrong! Just still got a headache! Yea that's a headache!"

Clearly Kirishima was skeptical and wanted to ask further questions but the sound of the door opening kills whatever attempt he was going to make as he sits with his hands folded, watching as Aizawa tiredly drags a still bound Bakugo and places him in his seat with his scarf.

The mummified teacher addresses the class, "Nice work. As always done, you'll have the next two days of school off to recuperate. I'm sure the pros who watched the festival will wanna recruit some of you. We'll look over the draft forms and update you when you return. Get some rest, you still have a lot of training."

"YES SIR!" The class reply as one.

And so the students begin to make their leave with Peter acting fast and catching Momo before she leaves, "Hey Momo, you doing alright?"

She seems to have snapped out of her trance and smiles tiredly at Peter, "Oh, yes. I'm fine. Just had a… brief conversation with my father."

"Oh yea? What'd he say, I'm sure he still appreciated your effort."

She let's out a small scoff and shake of her head. This gives Peter pause as he pays attention to the change in her body language. Her lips twitched downwards for a split second, her eyes welled up slightly and her shoulders had stiffened. Something tells me that conversation was not the sweet parental support she was hoping for.

"I should go home. Enjoy your time off Parker!" and she leaves as quick as she can, leaving the stammering foreigner with no chance to catch her.

He sighs, unsure of what to do. He feels a presence near him and sees Jiro with the same look of concern as him. "I'm worried too. I heard a little of what her dad said, not meaning to, but… it wasn't pretty."

"Was it abusive?"

"It was definitely towing the line."

"Damn. I wish there was something I-We could do."

She shrugs, "All we can do is what we're already doing, being her friends and being there for her."

"Yea you're right."

She begins to leave and says over her shoulder, "By the way, for what it's worth, you're a pretty good friend."

The Webhead grins as he shoulders his backpack straps, "Likewise Jiro. And don't forget to send me that playlist you were talking about!"

"Oh I definitely won't forget! Someone's gotta fix the tragedy called your music taste."

He scoffs affronted, "There is nothing wrong with my taste in music!"

She scoffs, "Anyone born in this century begs to differ."

He half-heartedly glares at her retreating form and rolls his eyes, "Yea yea whatever."

He will admit, though, Jiro's collection of playlists is most definitely god tier. He exits the classroom, seeing Izuku waiting for him who pats his back and walks with home with him.

"Broken bones aside, you did great Midoriya!"

The freckled teen bashfully rubs his neck with his uninjured hand, "Not-not as good as everyone else."

Peter groans, "Come on man you have to start learning how to take a compliment, I mean seriously you got first place in the obstacle race (ahem, with me of course) by using a strategy that didn't even use your quirk. Honestly I think you probably could of made your dream come true even if you were quirkless!"

Midoriya shushes Peter and frantically checks their surroundings. "You have to keep it down!"

"… You do realize I only found out about your secret because you talked about it with All Might at full volume and in public?"

"… Y-yea you do have a point."

"Besides, I already checked our surroundings, there's barely a soul around us."

"Yea I guess you're right." Then he remembers what Peter just said, "You really think so?"

"About making it as a hero regardless of quirks?"

"Uh huh."

"Yea! You even beat Bakugo without using your quirk until the last minute! You're a genius!"

"I-I wouldn't say genius." Izuku mumbles self consciously.

"Come on Midoriya, as a life long nerd, I know a genius nerd when I see one and that's definitely you!... That... That sounded a lot meaner once I said that out loud."

His freckled friend isn't offended and laughs at his fumble, "Thanks Peter I really mean it."

"Me too. Every word of it! Hey that reminds me, any updates on Iida?"

The mood changes drastically as Izuku pulls out his phone, seeing his plethora of messages sent still being unanswered. "No. I'm really worried. All we know is that his brother is in the hospital. He doesn't answer any calls or texts."

Peter's gut turns icy as he asks the question he's dreading to find the answer to. "Is he alive?"

"Yes."

Peter exhales in relief, "Thank god." He whispers, "That's the important thing. Let's just hope for speedy recovery."

"Yea, oh we're home already." Izuku gets to his door and before he opens it he asks, "We're still training tomorrow?"

Peter furrows his eyebrows in disbelief, "Midoriya, your arm is STILL broken. Let's just play some videogames or something."

As if he forgot, Izuku stares at his casted arm and flushes, "Oh yea, I forgot."

"Y-You forgot about your broken arm?"

"It slipped my mind!"

Peter opens his door as he shakes his head, "I don't even want to know what happened to you that caused your pain tolerance to be so great that you can forget about your arm being brok—ugh!"

He groans as catches himself before he falls as Aunt May tackles him in a tight embrace, "PETER! I'm so proud of you!"

The two share a laugh as he spins her and places her back on the ground, "And to celebrate my wonderful nephews first first place win!—"

"You really didn't need to add that last part there—"

"I ordered us your favorite sushi!"

She gestures to the dining table that's been decked out with all the mouth watering assortment of food. Peter's mouth waters and his stomach growls loudly, only now realizing just how famished he was. "You are the best person in the whole world!"

He leaps towards the table and starts scarfing down anything and everything in sight until a hand smacks him upside the head.

"Hey!"

"Don't hey me! You may have won the festival but that doesn't mean you can forget table manners!"

"Oh right sorry."

He sits on his seat and calmly continues to eat his food. May smiles warmly as she watches the teenager who she had raised as if he were her own. "I know I've said it before but I'll say it again. I'm so proud of you Peter!"

"Thanks Aunt May!"

She looks in disgust as she watches him smile with food still all over his teeth. "You know, I knew you'd excel in anything you put your mind to. But this hero thing, you've taken to it better than I expected. It's like you were born for this."

Peter stops chewing as he thinks on what his Aunt just said, "I'm not sure about that."

"What do you mean?"

He gulps down his food and pushes his plate a little to rest his hands on the table. "Don't get me wrong I've always wanted to help people and I've looked up to heroes. But, I never thought it'd be me."

"Oh Peter, is this about how you felt after the USJ incident?"

"Kinda yea."

"But Peter we talked about this—"

"I know we talked about it but it doesn't make those feelings go away. (sigh) Everyday I go to class with people who've dreamed about this and prepared for this their entire lives. And here I come, the science nerd who normally faceplants the ground whenever he tries to pick up the textbooks he dropped off the floor, getting a one in a billion bite that lands him the first place prize. It just feels like I don't really deserve this and even less because this isn't even something I wanted. Maybe I wasn't supposed to do this. Maybe I'm not supposed to be a hero."

May grasps his hand and squeezes comfortingly. "Peter, regardless of how this all came to be, it doesn't take away from the fact that you did this on your own. You won fair and square and this may not be how you wanted to do it, but I do believe that this is a way to do what you wanted. To help people. You've always had that desire and no bug bite will ever change that. Just adds a few new twists."

She gets up and takes his empty plate as well as her and places them in the sink. She turns and leans on the sink as she levels her gaze with Peter. "I do know one thing. You're wrong."

"Huh?"

"You are meant to be a hero. If you weren't you wouldn't have gone into vigilantism before coming to UA, you wouldn't have fought to save everyone in USJ. Recklessly might I add."

He cringes, "Sorry."

"It's fine. Peter, everyone has a hero inside them. That gives us strength, makes us noble. Your Uncle and I, we saw that in you, that's why we raised you with his motto. Because he knew that if there's anyone who could live by that principle, it'd be you."

Peter smiles warmly and rushes to give his Aunt a tight embrace. Well as tight as he can without hurting her. One she returns with the same fierceness. He sniffles and breaks out of the embrace. "Thanks Aunt May."

She ruffles his hair, "Of course Pete."

The sound of a phone vibrating breaks their moment and Peter fishes out his phone and his eyes widen when he sees the message. "What is it?"

"Mr Stark says he's on the roof to congratulate me in person!"

"He better not land on the roof, no telling how much that suit weighs and if it makes a crack on my ceiling and lets water in I'm gonna tear him a new one!" she grumbles.

Peter smirks, "I really don't doubt that."

She gives him a sideyed glare, "Get up there already."

He cackles and gets to the door but stops. "Hey Aunt May?"

"Yea Pete?"

"You're my hero. I hope you know that."

May can't stop the grin from forming on her face as she watches her nephew go through the door, heart full of motherly love.

Climbing onto the roof Peter looks around but sees nothing but empty space all around him. He checks his phone again to reread the message but it does clearly state that he had said he had already arrived.

"Maybe he came to the wrong house?"

"Nope I got the right address."

Peter yelps and turns around to still see nothing.

"Oh great, I guess Bakugo gave me a concussion or something cause I'm hearing things!"

Suddenly the Armored hero materializes in front of him, causing Peter to let out a less than masculine yell as he stumbles onto his butt. The Armored Avenger chuckles as his helmet retracts into the suit. Peter grumbles as he salvages what his dignity and dusts himself off after standing up and his eyes shine with awe as he sees the sleek jet black and grey armor with orange lights instead of the iconic blue. "Whoa is that a new suit?!"

"Not really I made this stealth suit about a year ago but decided to take it for a spin again so I can remind myself of what I wanted to improve on for the next mark."

"Huh 'stealth suit', never saw it before."

"Yea… it's stealthy."

"Touche."

"Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you again kid, you really shined out there and you're getting a handle on your powers quicker than I anticipated." He gives him an appreciative nod.

Peter internally freaks out at being complimented by his idol once again. "I just experiment and test things out a lot, fail a lot too." He mumbles as he rubs his arm.

Tony steps out of his armor, which remains suspended in the air. He brings Peter to the ledge and sits with their legs dangling on the edge. "That's the sign of a true scientist. You remind me of your father so much. Hell you look a lot like him. But you got your mothers laugh."

He almost touches his eyes, "I do?"

"Yea, you don't remember?"

Peter looks down glumly, "I've seen pictures of them of course, but I can barely remember them."

Tony's heartbreaks at the state of his ward as his eyes water and he turns to Tony, his eyes pleading. "If I can't remember them, does that mean I didn't love them enough?"

"Absolutely not kid. From a scientific standpoint it's natural. The mind and memory is finite so eventually some information does get a little foggy but the ones tied to emotion… those stay. I wondered the same thing after my folks died too. But I long accepted that no matter what happens or how muddy our memories get, they're still there," he points to Peter's head, "And always here." He points to his heart.

"I really hope so."

"Trust me kid, they are. Now." He smacks Peter's back, "Enough of the dreary atmosphere I came here to celebrate you and get you in a better mood of course by gracing you with my presence. How's class? Oh better yet, that girl you were gushing about, what was her name again Moomoo?"

"Momo and I was NOT gushing about her!"

"You definitely were gushing about her."

"Was not."

"Sure kid, well either way you definitely sound sweet on her."

"No I don't!"

"kid I had to schedule an appointment with my dentist cause I ended up with a cavity from how sweet you are on her."

Peter turns away to hide his red face and grumbles, "Who even uses the term 'sweet on her' anyway."

"Some of us older folks."

"How old?"

"Don't push it kid."

Tony sees that Peter is embarrassed and lets out an exasperated sigh, "Come on kid. There's no shame in admitting you got a soft spot for her."

Peter throws his hands up in the air in defeat, "Ok fine! Yes I do think she's pretty… awesome."

"Awesome huh? That's the best you got?"

"(sigh) she's really… cute. Beautiful actually and insanely smart! She's so mature and caring, and kind and so confident—"

He stops, startling Tony since he was about to tease Peter for once again gushing about the girl he clearly has feelings for. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing it's just… she's taken the loss really hard. And she seemed worse after a phone call from her dad."

"Hmm. Is her last name Yaoyorozu?"

"Yea?"

"Ah ok. Yea I've met her dad once or twice. Definitely an elite business man but he's got a bit of a temper, always made worse when things don't go his way. Which when dealing with yours truly, is every time. Yikes! Can't imagine how bad he took her defeat."

Parker's shocked by this, "Is he really that bad?"

"I've seen him cut down employees with that sharp tongue of his like as if it was an art form. He never gets full on abusive, but he does get very close."

"Man. That's the same thing Jiro said."

"Who?"

"Another friend. Wish I could do something to cheer her up."

"Of course you can." Tony comments as he groans while standing back up.

He stretches as he cracks his back and starts walking to his suit. "Wait do you have any ideas?"

"Me? No, I don't know the kid so I wouldn't know what I could do to help. But clearly you know her very well so use that big brain of yours and try to think of something. I'm sure you'll figure it out."

He steps into his suit and it wraps itself around him like a second skin, though his helmet remains retracted. "Also kid. Just wanted to warn you, Osborn been uncharacteristically quiet recently. Not sure if that's good or bad."

"Should we be worried?"

"Nah, I'll keep him at bay, it's the least I can do for you guys and your father."

"Right for saving your life."

Tony hesitates for a second, his eyes not meeting Peter's as he replies, "Y-Yea."

Peter is quick to notice the hesitation but before he can ask Tony quickly asks Jarvis, "Scan the skies for me Jarvis, I'd rather not fly into a flock of birds again."

Peter snorts, "Again?"

Tony rolls his eyes and gets the helmet back on, "See ya round kid!"

And he flies off into the air, his armor turning invisible again. "Hmm. Scanning. I got it!"

4 am the next morning

One tap. Then another. Then another. Then a louder one. The continuous noise rouses the sleepy vice representative from her rest and she tiredly rubs the sleepiness from her eyes. She checks the clock nearby and sees the time.

"Who could possibly be awake at this hour?" She grumbles.

Slowly getting off her bed she hastens her pace to the window as the tapping continues and she opens the window to see a grinning Peter Parker, his finger ready to tap her window again. They stare at each other for a few seconds before Peter finally finds his voice.

"Um. Hey. Fancy seeing you here!"

Momo raises an elegant eyebrow and crosses her arms over her chest. "What're you doing here? At 4 in the morning?"

Taken aback, Peter fishes out his phone and his eyes double in size as he sees that she is in fact correct. "Yeesh I really lost track of time! I had no idea it was this late!"

"You still haven't answered my question. And how did you even know where I live?"

She takes a small step back, her guard up due to his sudden appearance. Something that Peter notices and he scrambles to try and salvage the situation.

"Wait wait wait! No I wasn't stalking you or anything like that! I asked Jiro for your address cause I wanted to give you something!"

She relaxes slightly at his answer but that still raises even more questions for her. "You wanted to give me something? At 4 in the morning? When we'll see each other again in 24 hours?"

"… You know what I'm not even gonna defend that. I really was too dumb to think about acting like a normal person."

His bashful demeanor causes laughter to erupt from Momo's chest and she has to clutch her chest as she continues to giggle at her friends antics. Normally he'd feel even more embarrassed by being laughed at, but after seeing Yaoyorozu so depressed, he'd gladly endure it just to keep her smile on her face. She wipes a tear that dropped from her face, stifling the remaining laughter still threatening to escape.

"That was very much needed Parker thank you."

"Glad to be of service… So you wanna see what I got you?"

"Sure but you really didn't need to give me anything."

He waves her off, "Come on, I wanted to cheer you up, it's what friends are for." He opens his bookbag and pulls out a sleek looking visor, stylized with a thin frame colored a shade of red that matches her hero costume.

Impressed by the design Momo gratefully takes them, "This is a nice pair of sunglasses you gave me."

"Oh it's not sunglasses, well I designed it to be but it's a scanning visor really."

"Scanning?"

"Yea. I know how you normally have to carry around books and what not filled with the molecular composition to create whatever it is you need to create and I thought maybe there's a way to make it easier for you. So I used parts of my mask and the spare lenses I had to fashion a scanner that can breakdown the molecular composition of whatever object you use it on and it stores the info into its memory banks and can be pulled up whenever you want to so you can have a much larger variety of options for your quirk. Worked on it for most of the morning to get it just right."

Momo stares at Peter for an uncomfortable amount of time and he begins to sweat, wondering if he did something wrong. "It-it's ok if you don't like it or anything. It's kinda weird anyway—"

"No Parker-kun. It's, it's very sweet and thoughtful. Thank you. I didn't know you cared so much." She answers with a warm smile that makes Peter want to melt.

He looks down to hide his face as he stammers, "Of course I care. I mean who wouldn't? I just, I really couldn't stand to see you so sad. I-I wanted to help you smile again."

Her heart flutters at his admission and she has a quick intake of air to try and calm it but she can't shake the overwhelming urge to hug him, embrace him. Even to kiss—No stop thinking of that! Pushing away her thoughts, she envelops him in her arms. It's somewhat awkward as Peter is still leaning from outside the window but he is not one to complain in a having a beautiful woman in his arms. Momo feels his warmth envelop her like a blanket and feels so secure as his arms circle her waist, bringing them closer together. They stay like that for a while longer before they pull back but they don't let go.

They stare into each others eyes. Just as they had during the sports festival. Both of their gaze drops to each others lips, both buzzing from the memory of how they almost met. As if they were in a trance, they felt a pull towards each other. They inch closer and closer, feeling each others warm breath dancing upon their skin, just a hairs breath away-

The door slams open and the teens yelp as they fall into the room. Momo's father flips the light on and instantly his rage rises at what he sees before him. Momo laying on her back on the floor with a teen he does not know, laying right on top of her with his face planted in her buxom chest.

"What the hell is going on here?!" he yells.

Peter scrambles back, face flushed and tongue tied as he looks back and forth between Momo and her father, "We-I-Thi-When-! It it isn't what it looks like!"

"It looks to me that someone broke into my house and tired to take advantage of my daughter!" He says as he takes menacing steps toward the hapless teen.

"The-The first part is kinda true I'm not gonna lie but definitely not the second!"

Peter's spider sense tingles loudly in his head as the man grabs him by the collar and slams him into the wall. But Momo is able to appease her father, trying to pull back his arms. "Father it really is not what it seems!"

"Then explain it to me daughter?" His hard glare goes to Momo and she flinches but keeps her eyes trained on his.

Thinking quickly, she comes up with a convincing lie,"Peter is my classmate who also works in support course. He created a scanner for me to use in conjunction with my quirk for more efficient use. I asked him to bring it to me as soon as possible so that I can start filling it's memory banks with as much information as I can before we return to class."

If peter wasn't so scared for his life, he'd be really impressed by how well thought out Momo's story was. Clearly it seemed to have calmed her father down as he drops Peter, who whispers 'ow' as he lands roughly on his butt. Her father glares down at Peter as he jabs a finger in his face, "You keep your hands off of my daughter do you understand?"

"Crystal sir. Crystal."

"Good." He faces Momo, "I hope this device of yours will keep you from disappointing me again."

Having said his piece, he leaves but as he gets to the door he once again addresses Peter. "I'm going to return in a minute, if I see that you're still here I'm going to have security remove you from the premises with extreme prejudice."

Peter gulps as the door is slammed behind him and he looks to Momo, "I should probably go."

"Yes it's for the best."

He gets back to the window but Momo stops him with another hug. "Thanks again, I really love it."

He smiles dumbly. But the loss of concentration causes his hold on the windowsill to falter and he begins to fall back out the window. With incredible agility he twists in the air lands soundly on his feet. He rubs his head sheepishly as he sees an amused Momo looking down at him, "I meant to do that!"

The days of rest had come and gone and the return to UA was here. The day turned out to be a rather rainy one so May offered to give Izuku a ride to school along with Peter to which he gratefully accepted. After bidding their farewell the two scurry in to escape the rain as much as they can. Once inside they see their classmates, the very first being Iida who was completely decked out in rain-boots and a pancho.

As Peter changes his shoes, he listens as Izuku tries to talk to their class rep. "So Iida—"

"If it's about my brother, don't be concerned." He pulls down his hood and gives the pair a smile. A smile Peter notices, that doesn't reach his eyes.

"I'm sorry if I made you worry. Everything'll be fine." He leaves before they can continue their conversation.

The neighbors share a look and know they're both thinking the same thing. Everything is not fine and we're definitely worried. But now isn't the time to broach the subject. Soon enough they find themselves back in class to which everyone is gushing about their experiences.

"It's so weird that people recognize us from TV." Mina grins brightly, "Everyone wanted to talk to me on my way here!"

"Yeah me too!" Kirishima adds in.

Though some weren't exactly fond of their developments as Toru made it known, "People on the street were staring at me! It was kinda embarrassing!"

"Sure but isn't that pretty normal for you?" Ojiro asks.

Well he does have a point, she walks around as basically floating clothes. Still feel kinda bad for her.

"All it took was one Sports Festival and suddenly we're like celebrities!" Kaminari exclaims in excitement.

Kirishima turns to Peter, "What about you Parker-kun? Bet a lot people wouldn't leave you alone for getting the number one spot!"

"Actually I got no one, it was like a normal day."

Tsuyu puts a finger to her chin, "It's probably because you had a mask on so no one knows what you even look like. Ribbit."

Sero finally breaks out into a smile, "There's actually threads online trying to figure out why. My favorite is that they think he has 8 eyes!"

"I do not!" He indignantly replies.

Jiro smirks, "I read that some people thinks he has a furry face and pincers for a mouth!"

"How would that even fit inside my mask!?"

All talking stops once Aizawa enters the room, "Morning."

"Morning Mr Aizawa!"

Tsuyu is the first to say what everyone is thinking, "Ribbit? Mr Aizawa you don't have bandages anymore. That's good news!"

He rubs his tired eyes, "The old lady went a little overboard in her treatment."

"On the plus side that scar looks pretty badass"! Peter comments, earning a deadpan stare from his homeroom teacher.

"… Anyway, we have a big class today on Hero Informatics."

Everyone tenses, panic causing their blood pressure to rise exponentially as they dread for what he says next, all wondering if it's a pop quiz. Peter tenses up, I really hope it doesn't make a huge impact on my grade, I'm still a little bad with translating and I end up making make a few too many mistakes than I'd like!

"You need codenames. Time to pick your hero identities."

The class breaks out into cheers of relief and happiness as they see it's something easy.

"This is gonna be totally Awesome!" they all scream.

But they quickly get back to their seats as Aizawa activates his quirk, giving him a sinister look as his hair floats in the air like snakes and his eyes are flashing red. "This is related to the pro hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time we were in class together. Normally students don't have to worry about the draft yet. Not until their second or third year actually, but your class is different. In fact, by extending offers to first years like you, pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if their interest in you dies down before graduation, though."

Peter shrugs, "Eh. I'm already used to rejection anyway."

Sero gives him a side-eyed glance. That's pretty sad actually.

"So what you're saying is we still have to prove ourselves after we've gotten recruited." Toru surmises.

"Correct. Now, here are the totals for those of you who got offers." He taps a button on the remote he was carrying.

And on the screen shows the list of students, from highest to lowest, with all their offers. Unsurprisingly to everyone but the wallcrawler, Peter was at the top of the list with the number being 5000 offers. Then it was todoroki, Bakugo, Iida and so on.

"Whoa! I didn't think I'd be this popular." Peter says to himself.

Mina leans back, "Is it really that hard to believe you'd be popular?"

"HA! Oh you've got no idea!"

Aizawa clears his throat and they both shut up. "In past years it's been more spread out. But this year there's a pretty big gap."

"Todoroki got ahead of Bakugo?" Jiro asks.

"Yea it's the opposite of how they placed in the Sports Festival." Kirishima notes.

"They probably weren't excited about working with the guy who had to be chained up at the end." Sero comments.

"If I scared a pro, they're just weak!" Bakugo snaps, still angry about the results.

"Playing devils advocate here, the chains was a little too far, it made things look worse for sparky boy." Peter says, which only worsens Bakugo's mood.

"Shut up Gaijin! I don't need you're help."

"Geez I was just trying to be nice." The American teen grumbles.

"Despite these results, you'll all be interning with pros got it? Even those of you who didn't get any offers."

The nervous heap that was Izuku suddenly perks up, "OH so we're all interning?"

"Yes. You already got to experience real combat during the attack on the USJ facility." He turns a glare to Peter and Izuku, "Despite orders otherwise. But it'll still be helpful to see pros at work. Up close and personal, in the field, firsthand."

"And for that we need hero names!" Sato exclaims.

Uraraka grins, "Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!"

Their homeroom teacher continues, "These codenames will likely be temporary but take them seriously or-"

The door is opened and Midnight saunters in with her hips swaying seductively, "You'll have hell to pay later!"

She takes command of class, each heel click dominating the room, "What you pick today may end up being your codename for life! You better be careful, or you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent."

Peter tries looking anywhere but the teacher as he mumbles, "Is she really talking about something being indecent?"

"Yea she's got a good point. Midnight is going to have final approval over your names. It's not my forte." He pulls out sleeping bag, "The name you give yourself is important. It helps reinforce your image and shows what kind of hero you wanna be in the future. A codename tells people exactly what you represent. Take 'All Might' for example."

White boards were passed to each student as they begin brainstorming ideas for what will be their hero name. Peter takes his and starts listing off whatever came to mind. Hmm, Kid arachnid? Nah I'm not gonna be a kid forever. Weaver? Uh uh seams to broad I could be talking about a seamstress or something. Tarantula? Tch I can already imagine people running away from me instead. How about the Human Spider?... Wow that's terrible even for my standards.

Time passes by as Peter becomes more and more frustrated by the names he thinks up. Hmm what would Mr Stark think of? Wait a minute, his pro hero name is Iron man. Simple yet tells exactly what he's about. Maybe that's what I need to do, keep it simple. And finally the name dawns on him and he writes it down. Perfect!

"Times up! Now students, who among you is ready to share?"

WE'RE PRESENTING THESE?! OH GREAT WHO'S GONNA GO FIRST!?

Aoyama stands up from his desk. Of course.

"~Hold your breath!~" He raises his white board dramatically, "~The shining hero, my name is "I can not stop twinkling! Mon ami, you can't deny my sparkle!~"

"That's a mouthful."

Midnight grabs his white board and makes an adjustment, "It'll be better this way. Take out the 'I' and shorten the 'Cannot' to can't."

"~It's stunning mademoiselle.~"

This gives everyone the confidence to make their announcement and Mina is the second one up, "Okey dokey I'll go next! My code name: Alien Queen!"

"Hey that's pretty cool!" Peter comments.

"Hold on like that horrible monster with the acidic blood?! I don't think so!" Midnight denies her firmly.

"What?! But isn't there a pro hero named Death Arms?" Peter asks but it falls to deaf ears as the next student gets up.

For Tsuyu, Froppy. Kirishima, Red riot. Jiro, earphone Jack. And so on. Finally it came to Peter and he slowly makes his way up to the podium.

"Welp, this is what I got." He raises the white board for the class, "The friendly neighborhood hero: Spider-Man!"

"MMM I like it!" Midnight states with a lick of her lips.

"I do too." Momo says in agreement.

"I don't know, it kinda feels like it's saying 'I have low self esteem and identify with Bugs'." Mineta comments.

Coming from the guy named grape juice?

"Well I say it's perfect, who else?"

Bakugo stomps out his chair and slams his white board onto the podium, "Lord Explosion Murder!"

"That's almost the same as the last one." The teacher informs him.

"HUH?! It's completely different!"

"It's like you aren't even trying."

"Like you can think up something better Bug boy!"

Peter raises a hand and lifts a finger for each name he comes up with, "High Ex, Nitro, Ground Zero, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and, my favorite; Sparky Sparky Boom man!"

"Like hell your calling me that!"

"You got admit those were some pretty good names!"

"Shut up shitty hair!"

Once the day was over and the internships were chosen, Peter gets his things from his locker as he prepares to go home and relax before his internship with Ironman. Walking out, He notices Izuku staring at the retreating form of Tenya Iida. "What's up Midoriya?"

"It's Iida, I'm really worried about him. He hasn't come to anyone to talk about his brother and I found out he took an offer for his internship in Hosu City."

"Wait isn't that—"

"Where his brother was assaulted." Izuku confirms.

Instantly Peter chases after Iida ignoring Izuku's calls after him. He catches up to the Class rep, stopping him in his tracks. "No running in the halls!"

"Sorry not sorry, I needed to catch you."

"What for if you don't mind me asking."

Peter locks eyes with Iida, "You're going to Hosu city."

He bespeckled teen's eyes harden slightly, "Yes, what of it?"

"I know why."

"Well of course. It's for all the same reasons as the rest of the class, to learn how to be the very best of the next generation—"

"That's not what I meant and you know it." Peter cuts him off.

Iida scoffs humorlessly, his eyes dark. "What exactly do you know Parker-san?"

"I know what that look in your eyes mean. It's the same one I had almost a year ago."

Iida's eyes soften, intrigued by his classmates answer, "Last year my Uncle was killed. And I remember clearly what that felt like. The fever, the rage. The feeling of powerlessness. The need to avenge your loved one."

He takes a step forward with each remark, as the class rep gets tenser and tenser. "I remember just how much I'd give anything to get rid of that feeling, to make that guy pay for what he did."

"… Did you?"

"No. Because I knew, my Uncle, he wouldn't want me to go down that path. (sigh) god knows I have no right to tell you what to do. But please, don't let yourself do something that'll turn you into someone your brother can't be proud of."

Iida is deeply conflicted by what his friend had aid and wordlessly leaves, the pit in his stomach growing more and more with each passing step.

Authors note:

quick note, as i said many many many many many many times before, yes i will honor black panther and stan lee. it will happen. but itll happen where and when i have it planned. so please just be patient.

And there goes! Will Iida listen to Peter? Course not, but he tried and that's what's important. anyway so small update before the beginning of the internship, which with Peter, is not gonna really be that connected to the stain debacle, it's gonna be it's own more spidey-like story so Peter can truly start his journey into becoming the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Osborn's finally gonna make his mvoe and Peter may discover a few things as well. you'll find out soon! Thansk toe evryone who has favorited, followed and reviewed, it was definitely exciting to find out that i have now reached 200 reviews and over 200 favorites and follows. This is AWESOME! Thanks again and i hope to keep you all entertained!

AnimeKing6: Thank you! i always had in mind to use Silver Samurai in some form or fashion and thought this would be the perfect time to do so. Though Hydra won't make an appearance cause they're done with centuries ago but more like Friends of Humanity will make an appearance in my story. Not that much though cause i planned on having just enough marvel influence to make it fit in the universe of My Hero Academia. Also we'll find out jsut how desperate Osborn is getting and why by the end of the internship arc! also no, no one is gonna intern with Peter for this part because i planned for this internship to be a more personal growth kind of rc with Peter that he has to do on his own. That's not to say Momo won't have her time to shine with Tony, or other characters.

Triton0501: Thanks! When it came to this fight, i wanted it to be a little rough for both chracaters cause neither one is a master yet or at the level they normally are in the comics, so silver samurai is a lot rougher and less organized in his fight as he normally would. And yea, Bakugo may not be my favorite character but i respect his ability and i know he can be very formidable, so respect where respect is due. and yea thanks, you have no idea jsut how many hate PM's i get cause people don't like how i'm writing Bakugo when, again, this is exactly how he was like in the story. but hey, some people are too damn crazy about him. Anyway, thanks again!

Guest: Oh that's one thing i won't change, he's gonna be a villain. but he's not gonna play a major role in my story. At least in this one, future story, can't confirm or deny but he'll definitely still have a grudge against spiderman. I do remeber Big hero 6, loved that comic and movie though, they aren't planned for this story sadly.

Chadforever: Yes i do have plans for a cameo for both Stan lee and Chadwick, like i said it'll be where i have it planned and my own way to pay respects to them both.

Knockout: All Might did visit Wakanda but mostly just to meet, Wakanda has always been good at handling themselves so, respectfully, T'challa let All Might know that though appreciated, his heroics wasn't needed.

Anthonymon: First, her dad. I always envisioned him to be a angrier version of Howard stark like how tony described him in the movies. Her mom, a little queiter and more tolerant than her dad but still pretty strict herself. I headcannoned them to have high expectations for Momo that she struggles with which is what lead to her being so affected by her loss. Something Peter can help out with.

Black arachnid:I just like them having a rivalry really. i mean if they had coller heads and a better handle on their egos, sure that would work. but this is a lot more fun for me. And yes his classic suit will be arriving during the internship arc.

OK KO: Yea but later on in the story. Though the actual spiderverse event will be done in the future story, there will be some elements in this one to be a lead up of sorts.

TheGreatGodzilla: Yea Monoma is not gonna be a huge fan of Peter, specially once that symbiote gets is slimy hands on our favorite webhead. I do agree Peter's most dangerous villain is definitely Doctor Octopus, specifically because of his intelligence. i think it's safe to say that he is in fact smarter than Peter, and if he ever lets go of his arrogance, he'd soundly defeat spiderman each and every time. Still Green Goblin is the more personal villain because of how directly responsible he is for all of the tragedies in Peter's life. More or less yea thats about how i imagined this timeline happening though i didn't really have in mind that a future charcater showed up to help change things, it's still applicable cause the x men were the start of everything here and they're always having a time travel mission every other tuesday so yea pretty much how i thought of it. Besides, a cunning villain like All for one would definitely thrive on the chaos of the world, plus i also headcannon that he manipulated magneto until he finally deemed his time up and secretly killed him so that the rest of the mutants under magneto would flock over to him like as if he was the last stronghold for their safety. And yea, it is known that a lot of people in the MHA world, similarly to the mutants in marvel, are more ostracized the more their physical appearance is changed so it is a fair assumption that mole man would side with Apocalypse. To be honest, i only planned on a small appearance for deadpool in this story, but he'd really be there to mess with Peter not Twice. but when Peter meets one after the other, well he won't exactly be thrilled lol. The good thing about deadpool is there's a lot i can do with him, i could make him really old or i can make him still young since i know he's once lived for 800 years so i have a few ideas for his appearance. That Black Knight story sounds really good and very interesting, if you do write it let me know because i'm genuinely interested in reading it, though i do need to look up a little more about Black knight cause honestly, this is the first time i've heard of him in a long time. And yes i'm definitely gonna read Karma! Though Melissa Shield is not so bad a love interest, wouldn't mind reading it. who did you vote for though?

superjoeyf721: Thank you and yes i do feel happier writing again. Yea there are some rude people still messaging me but i have a better handle of it now so it doesn't bother me as much as before. Thanks though for checking up on me it's very appreciated.

Thing: Not really, i had no plans for the Fantastic four to be in this story, but they'll have a influence here and there.

Chris: not exactly how you stated but yea heres the fluffy moment, hope you liked it!

MHACaptainPokey: iread the manga and watch the anime though to be hoenst for the sprts festivl i used the anime as the reference.

Spider of the leaf: i was waiting for the perfect moment to use the sparky sparky boom man line until now finally lol, thanks also, i had thoguht of using sunfire but i decided las minute to go left field on it, glad you enjoyed the fight though!

Big Red 1215: oh yea he'll work with Mirko, but thatll be a while later, but mineta will definitely be jeslous... and maybe others as well.

Ian05: i actually havent hear dof that till now, it is a interesting tid bit to add' maybe ill use it but youll have to wait and see!

Ultron 15: sorry to say but i dont plan on adding ultron in this story, plus i already have planned out the vilains im going to us for the two heroes arc.

Johnmau: glad someone finally caught that! XD

Chandler: they wont team up during the finals but i do have planned extra 'episodes' where peter will team up with momo and various others in the class similar to the avenging spiderman comic line.

Sansman212: im really happy you like it! oh yea peter Will definitely awaken those fatherly protective instincts deep inside tony lol, also this chapter and chapters to come will dive de3per into peter and izuku's brotherly bind and even though right now peter is the shoulder for izuku to lean on, izuku will return the favor as well. ive always envisioned the two to have that kind of bond and im glad im so far successful in showing it. and yea thanks, its sometimes annoying to deal with thes super fans, but its getting easier despite the messages i still get. plus when they find out how close im keeping him to the actual story, they get suspiciously quiet lol

Stan 18 lee: great quote from an even greater man!

Same guest: inhumans and mutants are baically just people with quirks, theres no distinction from one another all that was done away with yeas ago. so the 'inhuman' and 'mutant' groups are all just normal citizens at this point.

Sam: no one is captain America right now, the shield is sitting in a museum' but it might make an appearance in the future.

Noob 86: congrats on being the 200th commenter! i like that idea im gonna save it for a possible appearance!

Anyway, next chapter coming soon, see ya then!
