Hero Academia: Enter the Spider Season 4

by Masterob

Going from the Hassaikai Arc to the School Festival. Izuku Midoriya and Mayday Parker are preparing for their work studies with Spider-Man and Sir Nighteye, alongside classmates like Ochako Uraraka and Mirio Togata. Along the way they spot a little girl named Eri, and it is here that the students learn how a true hero acts. Featuring Marvel, Capcom, DC, MLP, DBZ, Sonic and etc.

6. Go Time!

The following day in school, everyone was seen working on some rock-climbing exercises. Of course, the ones part of the Hassaikai mission were the ones with the most focus on in class.

"Hey! What have you guys been learning!?" Bakugo shouted. "Tell me!"

"Sorry, we can't tell you!" Kirishima said, the boy climbing a wall. As per orders, no one in class was allowed to relay info to anyone who wasn't on the case.

Come lunchtime, Izuku sat on the table, while he was content with bringing down the Hassaikai, he still had one worry on his mind, that being the wellbeing of All Might. He hasn't forgotten about Nighteye's vision and worries that it could still come to pass.

"I wanted to talk to Nighteye about it, but the meeting wasn't a good time," Izuku recalled. "I can't talk about it more with All Might since we're forbidden to discuss our work studies. I can't talk to the other students either. Between the raid, Eri and what can happen to All Might, this is a lot. I don't know if I can handle this..."

"Midoriya, are you alright?" a nearby Shoto asked. "You haven't touched your food."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing," Izuku insisted, grabbing a piece of his food with his chopsticks.

"Are you feeling okay, Midoriya?" Tenya asked.

"Yeah, since you began your work-study, you've been acting depressed," Shoto said.

"Oh sorry, Spider-Man's training just turned out to be more intense than I realized," Izuku said. "It's not bad though, I'm learning a lot from him."

"Well, that's good to know," Tenya said. "But, if you do need to talk, just let me know. We're friends after all. That is what you told me when we were heading off to our internships."

"...Yeah, I remember," Izuku said, the boy now tearing up, much to the concern of Tenya.

"Oh dear! Did I say something to upset you!?" Tenya asked.

"Midoriya, what's wrong?" Shoto asked.

"Sorry, it's nothing," Izuku said. "I really wish I could tell you what's happening. I appreciate your concern Iida."

"Midoriya..." Shoto said.

"Sorry, I shouldn't be doing this," Izuku said, wiping his tears. "Heroes aren't supposed to cry."

"I don't know, I think they should cry if they need to," Shoto said, grabbing his food. "You want half of my soba?"

"I've got extra beef stew," Tenya said.

"Thanks guys," Izuku said.

"Izuku?" Mayday said, the girl coming over with her tray. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm fine, it's nothing," Izuku said. "Iida and Todoroki were just sharing some food with me."

"Oh, well that's really nice of them," Mayday said. She could see some tears in his eyes, it broke her heart to see the boy she cared so much about like this. "Can we talk later?"

"Sure," Izuku said as Mayday sat across from him.

"Uh, not to overwhelm you but, I do have some extra ramen," Mayday said. "I can give you some."

"I didn't know you liked ramen," Tenya said.

"Mirio got me into it, it's pretty decent," Mayday said.

"Parker, how has your work study gone?" Shoto asked.

"Just fine," Mayday said. "Well not really but I can't talk about that."

Later on, as promised, Izuku met Mayday outside of the USJ, the boy still looking a bit nervous and thinking over everything.

"You seem really uptight, more than usual," Mayday said. "Is this about that raid?"

"I was hoping Peter would have said something by now, he said he was about to storm the base," Izuku said.

"Well, he wants to, but legal matters are preventing him," Mayday said. "At least, preventing him from going in with a team."

"Doesn't he have a group of friends on board?" Izuku asked.

"They were all given strict orders not to do anything," Mayday said. "But I wouldn't be surprised if they did it anyway. Right now my dad's just being patient and trying to compromise. But if this takes too long, then I can see everyone going in vigilante style."

"You think he'll go without us?" Izuku asked. "Given rumors of The League's involvement, Peter might handle this with his own squad."

"I wouldn't put it past my dad to do that, but he is doing his best to cooperate, for now at least," Mayday said. "Much as he hates to admit it, he knows the importance of some of the behind-the-scenes stuff. He knows police warrants are important to keep the crooks away for good. It took him years to bust guys like Kingpin, The Hood and Mr. Negative. Right now, Chisaki can be busted for mistreating Eri, and once he shares everything about those little spider drones with the police, they can bust Chisaki for everything else. It's all falling in line."

"I wonder if he'll even need us though, he's got powerful allies," Izuku said.

"Dad brought them so they can teach us, he might at least have us on the field so we can see them in action," Mayday said. "He knows you want to be a hero and he wants you to have that chance."

"I guess you're right," Izuku said.

"Call it intuition, but I feel like there's something else bothering you," Mayday said. "Are you still freaked out by how angry my dad got the other day?"

"A little, but I don't really blame him," Izuku said. "Sir did kind of push his buttons."

"I don't think daddy's proud of that, he usually does his best to keep his anger in check, but yeah, there's only so much he can handle," Mayday said.

"Have you seen him that mad before?" Izuku asked.

"If he's been mad, he's still been restrained," Mayday said. "The day Mr. Aizawa came to suggest the dorm idea, daddy was just about ready to tear into him."

"Because Mr. Aizawa kept the camp a secret, right?" Izuku said.

"Daddy to this day believes if he knew then he could have prevented so many things," Mayday said. "He would have not only kept Katsuki from getting taken hostage, but also he probably could have prevented the fight that led to All Might's retirement. In daddy's mind, the public was not ready to lose someone they looked up to for peace."

"That explains why Kacchan was so hard on himself after All Might had to retire," Izuku recalled.

"I know daddy was a bit hard on himself too," Mayday said. "He hoped to be able to put a stop to All for One but his power was greater than anticipated. It's almost like All Might was the one destined to stop him. The Power of One for All taking down All for One."

"You really think so? That it's destiny at work?" Izuku asked.

"Hard to say, my dad doesn't really believe in destiny, at least he doesn't want to," Mayday said. "He wants to believe we're in control of our future. My mom is a bit iffy, mainly since her original mentor, Princess Celestia believes heavily in Destiny. From the sound of things, Sir believes in it, he sees life as one straight line."

"Gohan and Amy talked about time travelers," Izuku said. "Is this related to what Flurry was talking about a couple weeks back?"

"Precisely," Mayday said. "The time traveler Gohan met was Trunks, and as Flurry said, this version of Trunks is a lot nicer. He's a bit rough around the edges but he's got the heart of a hero. He had to become strong at a young age because most of the heroes were wiped out by either Sentinels, Ultron or those Twin Cyborgs.

"Has your dad time traveled?" Izuku asked.

"A couple of times he has," Mayday said. "One instance was him teaming up with a Spider-Man from the future named Miguel O'Hara."

"Have you met him?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, he's kind of the opposite of my dad," Mayday said. "Where my dad would zig, he would zag."

"Huh?" Izuku asked.

"My dad has one sense of justice, Miguel has another," Mayday said. "Actually, Miguel is pretty close to Sir Nighteye in the way they view things. Miguel sees a bigger picture while my dad sees what's in front of him."

"Do they butt heads a lot?" Izuku asked.

"From what I heard, they did," Mayday said. "Daddy didn't go into detail but according to him, he and Miguel had a really bad disagreement on something, but my dad got him to see what was right by the end."

"That's good to know," Izuku said.

"I really hope daddy finds time to introduce you to the other spiders," Mayday said. "I think you'd like Miguel. He's not always intimidating; he can be very lighthearted when off duty."

"Still, how many heroes are like that?" Izuku asked. "Prioritizing the mission over the person?"

"Best not to rack your brain over it, just keep doing what you're doing," Mayday said. "My dad will steer you well."

"You said during the meeting that you would have saved Eri," Izuku said. "Is that true?"

"Yeah, of course," Mayday said. "I probably would have been sneakier about it but I can't turn away someone who needs me. I'm the hero who protects those who can't protect themselves. If my actions mean that someone has a chance to live, then I'm taking that action."

"That's very admirable of you, Mayday," Izuku said.

Mayday bashfully rubbed her head, "It's nothing, I'm just doing my part. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Girl, Mayday Parker."

"Well, we should be going," Izuku said. "We have some work to catch up on."

"Oh yeah," Mayday said. "I told Momo I'd meet her later."

"Are you two getting along?" Izuku asked.

"We're trying," Mayday said. "I do like her room; she's got great fashion taste."

"Are you deep into fashion?" Izuku asked.

"Kind of, I like wearing cute clothes and shopping for shoes," Mayday said. "In fact, I often get free clothes thanks to my dad's High School friend, Mary Jane Watson."

"Mary Jane?" Izuku asked.

"I've mentioned her before, I think," Mayday said. "She was a supermodel and now has her own fashion line. She sends me clothes to try on and I give them my honest opinion. She even makes my spider suits."

"So your suits come from her?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, my dad usually asks her to handle most of our gear since he trusts her more than most places," Mayday said. "She's a really nice lady, growing up she's treated me like if I was her own daughter. I think some people thought she was my mom too, it made my mom a little jealous."

"That must have been awkward," Izuku said.

"Well I like MJ, so it didn't bother me too much," Mayday said. "Funny, some people thought Gwen Stacy was my mom since she also likes to spend time with me. My family extends beyond just my parents and my immediate aunts and uncles. Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Tony Stark, The Elements, Uncle Johnny, Uncle Logan, everywhere I turn I have someone I can rely on. Even Miles is cool, sometimes."

"Sometimes?" Izuku asked.

"My main gripe is that he's a bit of a poser, everyone keeps calling him a second Spider-Man," Mayday said. "My dad is already using the name, of course he's had other names like Kid Arachnid and Shadow Spider. Personally, I just call him 'Thwippy'."

"Uh, does he like the name?" Izuku asked.

"No, but if I tell him about the origins of your hero name, I bet I can make it stick, he'd be swinging around as Thwippy," Mayday said, laughing to herself. "Oh man, just the hijinks that will come with that. People will be like, 'Hey look, it's our Friendly Neighborhood Thwippy!' And he'd think it makes him look cool."

"Right..." Izuku said, feeling unsure about this. "Mayday...how do you feel about my hero name exactly?"

"Honestly, I hate it," Mayday said. "It's an insult after all, I don't think you should have stuck with it."

"I know but remember what Uraraka said," Izuku reminded.

"Something about it being Japanese for something and that it's a cute name," Mayday said.

"She changed the meaning for me, so the word feels less insulting," Izuku said. "Now even when Kacchan says it, the power is taken away. It's like how Amy's friend embraced the term 'Tails'. Because his friends changed the meaning of the word for him."

"Eh, I still think it's bad," Mayday said. "If I had to give you a hero name, I'd go with...Lightning Smash."

"Uh...really?" Izuku asked.

"You do that electric spark when you do that Full Cowling, and you do Smash attacks like All Might. So Lightning Smash!"

"I get what you're doing, but I'm fine with Deku," Izuku insisted. "It doesn't bother me."

"I know it doesn't, but I just don't feel right calling you that as a hero name," Mayday said. "You deserve something respectful."

"I appreciate your concern, but please trust me on this," Izuku said.

"...Alright, I will," Mayday said. "Guess we should split now. Hopefully we can talk later."

"I might be free tomorrow afternoon, want to get some Boba Tea?" Izuku asked.

"Huh? I don't think I've had that," Mayday said.

"I heard Yaoyorozu say there's a place that sells some, and that it's really good," Izuku said. "I'll treat you to some."

"Well, as long as I'm hanging out with you, then that's fine with me," Mayday said.

"Sure, it's a da..." Izuku immediately caught himself. "It's a plan!"

"Right, a plan," Mayday said.

"I'm going to be going now," Izuku said, awkwardly walking away.

"I think Izuku just asked me out..." Mayday squeed in joy. "He's finally asking me out! I gotta think of something nice to wear! Is it too late to call MJ? Or maybe Gwen has an idea! Or Aunt Peni! Time to hit my phone!"

"Feels like I just asked Mayday on a date," Izuku noted. "Honestly, I just want to use the chance to learn more about her. Maybe if I do, I can help her become better than she is now."

A bit later near a Hassaikai Facility, Peter was seen across the rooftop along with Laura, Nightwing and Pro Hero Rock Lock. They kept enough of a distance to not be spotted but close enough to observe the facility.

"So, this is the place you said these Hassaikai crooks are at?" Rock Lock asked.

"No doubt, my drones spotted not only a large influx of people, but also some suspicious containers," Peter said, checking a mini-map hologram on his wrist. "Even now I can see them prepping some items. It looks like it's a large case of those bullets that Fat Gum showed us."

"Could they be making more?" Nightwing asked. "Don't they need that girl's blood?"

"They might have had some in reserve," Peter said. "But these could also be empty."

"They gonna try to sell useless bullets or something?" Laura asked.

"I doubt it, if they tried they'd not only piss off their buyers, they'll also lose a lot of credibility in the criminal underworld," Peter said. "I do hope Eri was right when she said no one else was there. My guess though is that they're hoping to get Eri back somehow, not like they would."

"No one's been around your house?" Nightwing asked.

"I have a lot of hi-tech security cameras that Peni regularly supervises," Peter said. "I can't imagine they'd be foolish enough to come to my house though, they don't even have proof she's there. For all they know, Eri could be with the police, or even Izuku's house."

"Izuku?" Rock Lock asked.

"That boy with the green hair, one of my three apprentices," Peter said.

"They don't know where he lives, do they?" Laura asked.

"Unlikely, but I will be checking in on his mother just in case," Peter said. "Logan's been to her house, he can give me an address. He also knows Tsuyu's address and I know Ochako's, so we'll keep regularly monitoring there too."

"Seems like you have things well planned out," Rock Lock said.

"Well I've had villains raid my house in Queens a few times, The Green Goblin once gave my aunt a heart attack when he randomly showed up on night just to mess with me," Peter said. "I am not taking any chances here."

"All we can do is wait until the raid begins," Nightwing said.

"Which I hate, why don't the four of us just take him down now?" Laura asked.

"I want to, but it's too risky," Peter said. "Far as I can see, no lives are in any immediate danger, if Nighteye wants to do this by the book at this point, then that's fine."

"Have you two spoken since that day?" Nightwing asked.

"Not yet," Peter said. "I just hope we can co-exist."

"Well if he's serious about taking down the Hassaikai, then he'll straighten out," Rock Lock said. "By the way, how's the kid doing?"

"She's doing good, my wife and I are taking good care of her," Peter said.

"Are you finding a home for her?" Laura asked.

"She wants to live with me, so my wife and I plan to officially adopt her once this Hassaikai operation is done," Peter said.

"Oh wow, so your kids are gonna get a new sister," Laura said. "Are Benjy and Mayday cool with it?"

"Mayday's happy, she wanted a little sister," Peter said. "Benjy's happy as well...the problem is he's a bit too happy."

"Oh right, isn't he a bit of a flirt?" Nightwing asked.

"...Yeah," Peter said. "You of all people would know about that."

"Sounds like your son's already quite the charmer, Spider-Man," Rock Lock said.

"As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, it's fine," Peter said. "The girls back home will keep an eye on him."

Moments later, Peter heard his radio going off, Gohan's voice on the other side, "Spider-Man, are you there?"

"Yeah?" Peter said, grabbing the radio. "What's up?"

"Saiyaman 2 and I checked the warehouses in the other marked locations, not a lot of traffic going through," Gohan said.

"Figured as much, but it's good to really double check and make sure we weren't led astray," Peter said. "We can mark that off the map then. Rendezvous at the pier of Dagobah Beach."

"You got it," Gohan said, placing the radio away.

"Nightwing, contact Starfire and Raven, see if they have anything to report," Peter said.

"Sure," Nightwing agreed, taking to his radio.

"Laura, go see if you can find Wolverine," Peter said. "Rock Lock, try to meet up with Fat Gum. We'll all rendezvous later on."

"Sure thing Spidey," Laura said, making her leave.

"Catch you later," Rock Lock said, going on the move.

Later at the Parker Condo, Izuku was seen waiting in the living room. He had some training scheduled, though Peter hadn't come home yet.

"What could be taking Peter so long?" Izuku asked. "Is he normally late?"

"Sometimes," Amy said, the girl beside Izuku. "He's just busy trying to make sure the Hassaikai don't wreak havok."

"Still, kind of wish I had something to do here," Izuku said. "Wish I could have gone with Peni to where she was taking Tsu and Uraraka."

"They're not training, they're just shopping," Amy said. "They want to find clothes for Eri."

"I know, but it's better than waiting," Izuku said. "Plus, I'm kind of worried about Peter."

"He'll be fine, Peter's good at getting himself out of any trouble that pops up," Amy said.

"...Amy, may I ask you something?" Izuku said.

"Sure," Amy said. "Ask away."

"What are your thoughts on the future?" Izuku asked. "I know you said that you met a Time Traveler, but is it always connected to clairvoyance?"

"You're worried about what Nighteye had to say, aren't you?" Amy asked, getting a nod from Izuku. "Well don't. He may see a death in the future, but nothing is set in stone. The future is ours to decide."

"You really think so?" Izuku asked.

"Totally, kind of ironic for me to say since I do Tarot Card readings," Amy said. "Even then, I see them as more of a guide than anything concrete."

"Tarot Cards?" Izuku asked.

"When I was young, my Tarot Cards said that I was going to meet my hero one day," Amy said. "And it happened, not too long after I did the reading, I met Sonic."

"So, they can decide the future?" Izuku asked.

"If you believe," Amy said. "Now my Tarot Cards said I would meet Sonic, I had to work to get him to fall for me. It took time, and I almost missed my chance, but everything worked out. Only because I took the initiative. Sometimes you have to make your future happen."

"Is it that easy?" Izuku asked.

"Let me tell you a secret," Amy said. "When I got my initial reading, I wasn't too thrilled, so I tried again until I got what I wanted. I controlled my own fate, and so can you."

"...Any chance you can give me a reading? I might feel better with another perspective," Izuku said.

"Sure," Amy said, shuffling her cards. "Tell me Izuku Midoriya, what is your question to the universe?"

"Will we be successful in stopping the Hassaikai?" Izuku said.

"Alright, let's see if it's your lucky day," Amy said, shuffling the cards. She pulled three out, glancing intently at them.

"So...what do they say?" Izuku asked. "Is it good or bad?"

"First tell me, do you believe in Fate or Destiny?" Amy asked.

"Huh? Aren't they the same thing?" Izuku asked.

"Fate implies that no matter what you do, the end is always the same. Destiny implies that your current actions will solidify your future," Amy said. "Fate is something you can control, destiny isn't. Do you believe in one or the other?"

"Well, I want to believe in destiny," Izuku said. "But..."

"Remember what I said earlier, I met Sonic because I decided my destiny," Amy said. "Me predicting the future with these cards is less about telling you what's going to happen, and more about me warning you of what could happen. If you got a fortune saying that everyone you love will suffer a terrible ending, would you accept it or do something to save them?"

"Well, if I could fight fate, then I would save them," Izuku said.

"Nighteye said that Peter is going to die, and his friends too, can I trust that you will do everything you can to change that vision?" Amy asked.

"Y-yeah, you can trust me!" Izuku said. "I promise I will change my fate!"

"Then don't worry about what these cards have to say," Amy said, tossing them aside. "Izuku, you can decide your future. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. I know you have it in you to save the day."

"You really think so?" Izuku asked.

"I know so," Amy said, taking Izuku by the hand. "You have that drive in you Izuku, you're going to be a special type of hero one day. One that lets others feel safe and happy, just like your idol All Might is with Japan."

"That is my goal, to save the world with a smile," Izuku said.

"Show me your smile," Amy said. Izuku obliged, showing as big of a smile as he could for the pink hedgehog, something Amy found very appealing. "Aw, you're so cute!" She began pinching his cheeks, "You have such an adorable face Izuku."

"H-huh?" Izuku asked, blushing a bit.

"Seriously, it's almost a shame you have a mask for your suit, just the gentle look in your eyes is very reassuring," Amy said. "Plus, I bet all the girls would love your smile, especially your classmates."

"Uh," Izuku awkwardly turned away. "Come on, you're just being nice."

"I know cute when I see it, Izuku," Amy said. "But it's understandable if you're a bit shy. Still, keep an eye out, there might be a girl or two who likes you."

"There already is," Izuku said, taking a quick look around. "Pretty sure Mayday is one of them, she's not very subtle about it either."

"Mayday?" Amy asked, recalling something that Benjy said before about Izuku being his sister's boyfriend. "Gee, I thought Benjy was joking."

"I promised to take her for some Boba Tea tomorrow, it's not meant to be a date, I just want to spend a bit of time with her, as a friend," Izuku said. "But I know she has a crush on me, she even confessed to me once. I don't feel the same way, and I'm afraid by taking her out, I'm leading her on."

"Does she know you don't like her that way?" Amy asked.

"I did tell her that I wasn't ready, I don't think she gave up," Izuku said.

"Well if you say you're not ready, she's going to assume that you might like her but you're just not ready for a relationship," Amy said. "You have to be honest and tell her that she's not the one for you."

"I don't want to hurt her feelings," Izuku said. "Mayday's a lot more sensitive than she lets on."

"Well yeah, her tough girl act is just that, an act," Amy said. "My daughter Sonia's the same way, she acts tough, but she can be very sensitive at times. She just doesn't let anyone see her cry, but I can always tell when she's sad."

"What should I do then?" Izuku asked.

"Honesty is the best thing, but I will let you decide when to do that," Amy said. "I would suggest waiting until after this Hassaikai thing is over. But tell me, is there a reason you don't like Mayday that way?"

"It sounds kind of mean to say but, she can be a bit too forward and abrasive," Izuku said. "I don't think she means to be that way, she acts a certain way with me because she's comfortable. I am a bit flattered that she's that close but I just don't feel the same right now."

"Izuku, is there a chance you could like Mayday?" Amy asked.

"I...really don't know," Izuku said. "I need to figure things out."

"How old are you right now?" Amy asked.

"Me? I'm fifteen," Izuku said.

"Wow, that's how old Sonic was when he met Peter," Amy recalled. "Well anyway, you're still young and you have time. You don't need to pick a girlfriend now but when you're ready, just go with your heart. If you do end up liking Mayday, well that's great. If not, you have plenty of other options."

"I appreciate that," Izuku said, then received a phone call. "It's Peter, I should take this."

"Sure," Amy said as Izuku left. Turning around, she picked up the cards, one of them showing the symbol of death, this bringing some worry into her. "Easy Amy, remember what you told Izuku. He has the confidence to get through this. Plus you'll be there to protect him, so will the others, especially Peter. Everything will be fine."

She then heard the door unlock, Peni had returned home with Ochako and Tsuyu, all three holding bags in their hands.

"Seems like you had a busy trip," Amy said.

"Yeah, plenty of clothes for Eri to try out," Peni said. "Is she still here?"

"She's in her room, but Pan, Bulla, Benjy and Mar'i are keeping her company," Amy said. "Is that all the bags?"

"Most of them, but we ran into some help along the way," Peni said, turning around. "In here boys!"

Coming into the house were the duo of Johnny and Kaminari, both looking a bit annoyed.

"Does Eri really need all these clothes?" Kaminari asked. "Seems overboard."

"It's important to know her style," Peni said.

"Just give her something basic, I imagine she's one of those girls who just wants something that fits her," Johnny said, then noticed Amy. "Oh, you're here."

"Yes, I am," Amy said. "Good to see you, Johnny."

"Yeah, yeah..." Johnny said, placing the bags on the floor. "I should not be a courier."

"Geez, you can't take five minutes to help a friend out?" Peni asked. "Especially a girl you've known since infanthood?"

"Well you were the infant when I was already a man," Johnny said.

"Pretty sure you were twelve," Peni said.

"Hey where is this girl anyway?" Kaminari asked.

"I'll go get her," Peni said, heading toward Eri's room.

"Where's Deku?" Ochako asked.

"On the phone with Peter," Amy said.

"Hey, are those your fortune cards?" Johnny asked. "Are you doing that fortune teller thing again?"

"Izuku needed some peace of mind after what happened with Nighteye," Amy said. "So I gave it to him."

"Those cards are fun, Amy said it's how she met her husband," Ochako said.

"Yeah, her husband, that's an awkward story," Johnny said.

"It's really not," Amy said. "I did meet Sonic, it just took a while to marry him. There was even a point where I didn't think I would. I was fine with that too; I was content with just being an aunt to his son. Things just worked out."

"You know, you could have moved on after Sonic married Sally," Johnny said. "Pretty sure Shadow is still single."

"Shadow's...not bad looking I admit," Amy said. "But I'm glad things worked out between me and Sonic. I do feel a bit sorry for Sally."

"Not sorry enough to leave the two alone," Johnny muttered.

"I heard that," Amy said.

"So did we," Ochako pointed out. "Kind of mean, Johnny."

"Hey if you knew what happened then you'd understand," Johnny said. "Ochako, promise me you won't take anyone's boyfriend."

"Huh? Well of course I wouldn't, and I don't think Amy did either," Ochako said. "If Peter trusts her and calls her a good lady, that's enough for me."

"Aw, I appreciate that, Ochako," Amy said.

"Still, if a guy you like clearly has another girl, avoid the drama and just move on," Johnny said.

"And I can tell there's going to be issues between Johnny and Ochako one day, given this whole Izuku and Mayday thing," Amy mentally lamented. "Johnny, it's up to the guy in the end, so long as Ochako doesn't do anything mean, it's fair game."

"I'm just saying that hearts can be broken if you're not careful," Johnny said.

"Going on about broken hearts?" Peni asked, making her way forward. "Still mad about Crystal?"

"That was ages ago," Johnny said. "I was just a dumb teenager when I met her, eventually I realized I was meant to be with Rainbow Dash."

"Just like Amy was always meant to be with Sonic," Peni said. "Honestly, I to this day believe that Sally never should have married him. I don't think she really loved him."

"Let's not get carried away here," Amy said. "Sally did love Sonic, and he loves her, but he just didn't love her romantically."

"I know you have to say that because you care a lot for Sally," Peni said. "Doesn't change the fact that she really wasn't a nice little chipmunk."

"I can't say she was friendly with me too, but I still say she and Sonic should have worked things out," Johnny said.

"Wow, so much gossip, hope this never happens with us, Ochako," Tsuyu said.

"Yeah, me too," Ochako said.

"We'll move on from this," Peni said, turning to the girl beside her. "Don't want Eri to get terrible ideas."

Johnny glanced at the young girl, "So you're Eri then." He made his way over and knelt before her. "I'm Johnny Storm. I'm also called the Human Torch."

"...Hooman?" Eri asked.

"Uh, no HU-man," Johnny said.

"Hu...man," Eri said. "Human...Human Torch."

"Nailed it," Johnny said.

"She's still working on her accent, English is not her strong suit," Peni said. "She used to say 'Spidah-Man' rather than 'Spider-Man'."

"Give her time, she'll figure it all out," Johnny said. "She already getting homeschooled?"

"Yes, Twilight organized her curriculum," Peni said. "Basics like Math and Language Skills for now before moving on to more advanced stuff."

"Well Eri, you're in good hands," Johnny said. "You're being adopted by a couple of nerds. Or Eggheads as my wife would call them."

"Johnny, please don't use words like that, you'll give Eri a bad example," Amy said.

"Yeah, bad enough you negatively influenced Benjy, he keeps flirting with her," Peni said.

"Oh, really?" Johnny asked.

"Benjy says I'm his cute little Peach, and that he wants me to join his harem," Eri said.

"Harem!?" Ochako and Tsuyu mentally shouted.

"Good grief..." Amy lamented.

"So silly," Peni felt.

"That's my boy, Benjy!" Johnny mentally cheered.

"Spider-Man's son is so lucky," Kaminari lamented.

"Let's get you changed," Peni said.

"I can help Eri undress!" Benjy called from the other room, this earning an awkward reaction from the girls and a grin of approval from the boys. Peni angrily turned around and marched toward the room Benjy was in. "Uh, aunt Peni...why are you looking at me like that? Wait! What are you going to, AH!" Benjy ran out the room, fleeing for safety. "Someone help!"

"Get back here you lecherous child!" Peni shouted, chasing her nephew out the front door.

"Well crap...I should go and help them," Johnny said, making his leave. "Denki, help the girls unpack."

"Aw...stuck with unpacking duty," Kaminari said.

"We'll make it fast," Amy said.

"Excuse me" Pan said, making her presence known alongside Bulla and Mar'i. "What's happening with Benjy?"

"Don't worry about it, Peni just needs a word with him, and Johnny's going to keep an eye on them, it's all good," Amy said.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Izuku heard most of what happened, "Peter...you should probably get home as quickly as you can."

"Was it Johnny, Peni or Benjy?" Peter asked.

"A combination, but mostly Benjy," Izuku said. "He really does like Eri."

"Oh good grief..." Peter vocally lamented. "I'll be there soon."

Meanwhile Mayday had returned to Nighteye's building with Mirio, the two having just come back from patrol.

"Mayday, Mirio, good to see you back," Bubble Girl said. "I trust things went well while you were out?"

"Right as rain," Mirio said.

"No run ins with the Hassaikai, right?" Bubble Girl asked.

"It was all clear," Mirio said.

"I'm happy to hear that," Bubble Girl said. "You two should be heading on home then."

"Is there any update regarding the Hassaikai mission?" Mayday asked.

"Not officially, I know your father and some friends are still investigating," Bubble Girl said. "Centepeder and I just got back and were reporting our findings to Sir Nighteye."

"So Spider-Man is still on board then?" Mirio asked. "That's good if so, I did hear an unsettling rumor that Sir wanted him fired."

"Well...Sir did consider cutting ties but given that Spider-Man did bring up a lot of evidence, it was considered beneficial to keep him on board," Bubble Girl said.

"What about when this is over?" Mayday asked. "Will I still have a job?"

"Of course, you're not responsible for what your father did, and I will admit that Sir did get on his nerves," Bubble Girl said. "Hopefully after all this is over, we can talk things out rationally."

"Bubble Girl," Nighteye said, getting her attention. "We still have work to do."

"Oh yes, of course, I was just keeping Lemillion and Spider-Girl up to date," Bubble Girl said.

"Hey there boss, how are things?" Mayday asked.

"Just fine," Nighteye said. "If you're done you can go back to the UA Dorms. Keep an eye on your phone, once we have all the evidence we require, we're going to take action."

"Of course," Mayday said. "And Sir...if I know my dad, I know he probably feels terrible for reacting the way he did the other day."

"I'm sure he does," Nighteye said.

"He just wants this mess resolved as much as you do, and I don't think he considers you a bad hero, you two just don't see eye to eye," Mayday said.

"Uh, Mayday, I don't think now is a good time for this," Mirio said.

"That's quite alright," Nighteye said. "If Spider-Girl has something to say, then let her."

"It's not much, I just wanted you to know that my dad doesn't want tension, he wants to be able to get along here," Mayday said. "You know he cares about stopping Chisaki, don't you?"

"I do not doubt that," Nighteye said. "I too yearn for cooperation, but that involves your father understanding my point of view on things."

"He really does, but I guess when you got upset about Eri, he felt a little disrespected," Mayday said. "But you really don't think my dad did a bad thing, do you? If you saw this little girl, you'd understand. I wouldn't be surprised if you made the same choice as my dad. You're tough but you're not heartless. All Might wouldn't pick just anyone to be his sidekick after all."

Nighteye was currently without words, merely taking a second to think Mayday's words over. "Tell me, why do you think Spider-Man did the right thing?"

"Because he saved a life," Mayday said. "Thanks to him, that girl didn't have to suffer more than she has. He gave her a chance to be happy, and he will fight to keep her happy."

"And you claim you would have done the same thing," Nighteye said.

Cautious as Mayday was, not wanting to risk being fired, she nodded in confirmation, "I probably would have. You would have hated me."

"No, I actually wouldn't," Nighteye said. "I'd be proud, because it would show me that you really do care about being a hero. I still don't like how your father handled things, but even I will admit it was an understandable choice."

"So you and him are cool, right?" Mayday asked.

"No, not yet," Nighteye said. "Just because I understand him doesn't mean I'm okay with his actions."

"Seriously!?" Mayday asked. "Boss, with all due respect, you could cut my dad a bit of slack here. I mean, given that you seemingly predicted his death, he could be a lot angrier. But I'd like to think that you don't want my dad to die."

"Of course I don't, that's why I told him my vision, to get him to think clearly!" Nighteye said.

"So you don't believe the future is set in stone then," Mayday said. "Because when Saiyaman mentioned the Time Traveler-"

"Spider-Girl, enough, I don't have time to get into a deep discussion with you about this," Nighteye said. "Please clock out, we'll discuss this later."

Mayday huffed in annoyance, "Alright, I'll back off. I just hope you know that I believe all of us can survive this and bring the villains to justice. That includes you, I kind of like this place so I'd like to keep having you as my boss."

With that, Mayday made her leave with Mirio as Nighteye thought over the situation.

"Are you feeling alright sir?" Bubble Girl asked.

"I'm fine...return to the meeting room," Nighteye instructed.

"Uh, yes sir," Bubble Girl said, making her leave.

"Mayday Parker is a lot more courteous than I've given her credit for, either she's faking it to appear nicer or she is making a genuine effort to be better," Nighteye didn't ponder this much, he had his own work to do.

The following day, Izuku and Mayday had gone to grab some Boba Tea as promised, the two standing outside of a shop, sipping their respective beverages.

"Wow, this stuff's pretty good, guess Momo knew what she was talking about," Mayday said. "Though she seems to be an expert when it comes to tea, she really loves the stuff."

"I think it helps her relax and allows her to think more cohesively," Izuku said. "Does your dad drink tea?"

"Sometimes, I know his sidekick Miles mentioned loving Chai Tea, he and dad probably bonded over some," Mayday said.

"Chai Tea?" Izuku asked. "I'm not sure if that's grammatically correct."

"I hear it all the time back in New York," Mayday said.

"Still..." Izuku felt unsure.

"Well thanks for treating me, it was really nice of you," Mayday said. "It's also kind of nice just hanging out and doing nothing for a bit, take your mind off the hero stuff."

"Kind of hard for me to do that, I just love everything about hero work," Izuku said.

"It seems to be a passion of yours, huh?" Mayday said. "It's pretty much your whole life."

"Of course, since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a hero," Izuku said. "It was hard because I didn't have a quirk, but obviously that problem's been fixed."

"If you hadn't met All Might, would you still be trying?" Mayday asked.

"Ironically, I initially gave up after I first met All Might," Izuku said. "He told me I couldn't be a hero unless I have a quirk."

"Huh? That's silly, why would he say that?" Mayday asked. "Batman and Iron Man are proof you can be a hero."

"All Might says it's because one's rich and the other knows a rich guy," Izuku said.

"That second thing is just a rumor because Batman is sometimes seen around Wayne Enterprises, but that doesn't mean Bruce Wayne himself really knows Batman," Mayday said. "Fact is, no one knows where Batman even came from."

"Think Nightwing knows?" Izuku asked. "He was his sidekick."

"You'd need to ask him, though my dad's worked with Batman a few times, and even dad says he's a man surrounded in mystery," Mayday said.

"I'd like to see him in person one day, he's got me very curious," Izuku said.

"Still, Batman talk aside, what about Nightwing?" Mayday asked. "He's clearly quirkless himself but makes it work. There's also Night Thrasher, he's quirkless but he gets things done."

"Right, I know him," Izuku said. "I wanted to make it work, I was even determined to be the first quirkless student in UA High School. But when All Might told me it wasn't going to happen, well I lost confidence in myself."

"Little disappointed that he would say that," Mayday said. "I think All Might should have known better."

"Well, looking back, he seemed like he was feeling very down," Izuku said. "I don't think he meant to discourage me; I think he was just dealing with his own problems."

"Still, not nice All Might," Mayday said. "Still, you did impress my dad the day you rescued me. If All Might didn't give you his powers, daddy would have taken you in himself and helped you figure something out."

"Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I didn't get One for All," Izuku said. "That would be an interesting turn of events."

"Sure would," Mayday said. "But at least it all worked out. All Might saw something special in you and helped you achieve your goals. Now you're on your way to becoming one of the best heroes."

"Yeah, I am," Izuku said, the boy clenching his fists. "I hope I can be Number One someday. The greatest hero in the world, Deku."

"...Still think you need a better hero name," Mayday said. "But whatever makes you happy."

"It will be great, I promise you that," Izuku said. "I'll be a hero that makes you and your family proud."

"We're already proud of you," Mayday said. "You're a kindhearted boy Izuku, and probably my favorite boy in school. Actually it's no contest, you are my favorite boy."

"Heh, I appreciate that," Izuku said, nervously sipping. "So, what about you? Being Spider-Man's daughter must have gotten you really into heroics."

"In a way," Mayday said. "Truth be told though, I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a hero at one point. I just did it because...well, I just respected and admired my daddy."

"What was it like having a famous hero for a father?" Izuku asked.

"I don't think daddy was that famous when I was born, he had a big following in New York, but it took him a long time before he really became big," Mayday said. "Funny, I couldn't really see him as this big hero though. When I saw him, he was just my daddy. Not saying he was a nobody, he's everything to me. But it was weird for me at one point when he got so revered. Eventually I got used to it, but I don't think he's used to it. He doesn't care about the spotlight, he just wants to do the right thing."

"He mentioned that he didn't care about being Number One, and that hero rankings meant nothing to him," Izuku said. "Do you believe that?"

"Daddy's just being modest," Mayday said. "I see where he's coming from, but I also think people need a symbol to look up to. That's what makes heroes like All Might, Captain America and Superman so great. Them being there makes baddies think twice before doing something stupid."

"Exactly, their presence wards off evil and inspires others," Izuku said.

"It works for my dad, him swinging through Queens let people feel safe, because he was always quick to action," Mayday said. "Daddy's diligent about helping others, to a fault."

"A fault?" Izuku asked. "How is it a fault?"

"Daddy's too empathetic, if something bad happens, all he can think about is how he could have prevented it, even if he wasn't there," Mayday said. "He takes on too much responsibility. Honestly, because of that, he may never retire as a hero. If he feels like he can do something, he'll do it."

"Well, that is pretty admirable, but I can see why you're worried," Izuku said.

"Daddy does what he does because he's afraid that if he doesn't do something, someone's going to die," Mayday said. "He's so focused on saving lives that he never really thinks about his own. He's not reckless, more than anything he wants to live to come back to me and mom. But sometimes I kind of hate how more he tends to self-sacrifice, especially when not everyone appreciates it. In the end, that drives my daddy's motives a lot. He's so focused on what the haters think that he forgets he has people who love him regardless."

"You think Sir Nighteye got to him?" Izuku asked.

"A little, daddy's not going to let it get him down, because he fully believes he made the right choice," Mayday said. "But I know that this is going to eat at him for a bit. The worst part is, in time, daddy will just blame himself for the hostility."

"Wow, that does sound bad," Izuku said.

Mayday coyly smirked at Izuku, "I'm taking points off for that one."

"Uh...yeah that is a poor response I guess," Izuku said, recalling the Provisional Exam. "But in all honesty, I think Peter made the right choice too. Knowing that Eri's safe means a lot to me."

"Same, especially since daddy wants to adopt her," Mayday said. "I'm gonna have a little sister. My Imōto-chan."

"That's cute," Izuku said. "Kind of happy that you're embracing a bit of Japanese culture. Your accent's even improved."

"Well if I'm gonna have a Japanese little sister, I should try to do my best to ease her into American culture by appreciating hers," Mayday said. "I know I should have done that with my aunt Peni, but to be fair, she was raised in America as well, and has American parents."

"Funny how that works out," Izuku said. "Peter's aunt and uncle adopt a Japanese girl, then Peter himself adopts one too."

"My dad really appreciates Japan, especially after living here a few times," Mayday said. "First when he came to UA, then when he helped Aunt Peni embrace her culture, now helping me through school here. Plus in addition to a Japanese cousin, he also has a Japanese rival in Ryu, and a Japanese bestie in Amy. Well Amy's not really Japanese but she loves the culture too, plus her planet probably has its own Japan."

"She does come across as Japanese," Izuku said. "Hey, I know you have Peni but if you ever need more pointers regarding Japanese culture, I'd be happy to help."

"Thanks, I appreciate that," Mayday said.

"Personally, I'd love to go to America one day," Izuku said. "What's it like anyway? Living in New York City?"

"Super busy," Mayday said. "They were not kidding when they said that New York is the City that Never Sleeps. From day until night and back into day, New York is always hustling and bustling. But there's so many great things to see. I promise you that when you get to New York, you're getting an all-out tour. Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square, I'll even treat you to a pizza! No wait, even better! A hotdog!"

"A hotdog?" Izuku asked.

"New York pizza is great, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise," Mayday said. "But to truly feel like a New Yorker, you need to have a hot dog from a stand. It's a treat so delicious, even Gods love it. Just ask Loki."

"Loki? That evil God?" Izuku asked.

"...Okay poor example, but he and my dad did enjoy some hot dogs together," Mayday said. "So he's not all bad I guess."

"How did that happen?" Izuku asked.

"My dad saved his daughter's life," Mayday said. "Loki may be a villain but even villains have someone they care about."

"...You really think so?" Izuku asked.

"I think so, villains are human too, well Loki's a God and some are aliens but you know what I mean," Mayday said. "If villains learn to channel their love, they too can change. My mom believed so, she got villains to change. Dad has had some luck with that too. One of his villains, Sandman, he was once an Avenger."

"Wait really?" Izuku asked. "Weird, I don't think I've heard about that."

"A lot of people had a problem with a former villain becoming a hero, honestly I've met Sandman a couple of times," Mayday said. "He's not really a bad guy, he might rob places but it's less that he's doing it to be evil and more that he's just down on his luck. Sometimes when people are down, they break the rules. It's no excuse but it's important to look at things from their perspective."

"Is that why Peter brought up Stain?" Izuku asked.

"Probably," Mayday said. "Well Laura did first and she did cross the line a bit but dad kind of understands why Stain ended up like he did. Dad has even wondered about Shigaraki and his team. Bad as they are, and they are trying to overthrow the hero society, he can't help but wonder why they turned out this way. I think he feels sorry for them."

"Honestly, I can't say that I do," Izuku said. "Maybe a little, but I just can't feel sorry for a villain. If you choose to do evil, then any consequence that falls on you is deserved."

"Wow, didn't expect you to say that," Mayday said. "Considering how forgiving you were of Katsuki-"

"Don't start with that again, please," Izuku said. "I know Kacchan's a jerk sometimes but he's not a villain. He's trying to do good. Shigarkai chose to attack the USJ, he chose to threaten me and Flurry in public, he chose to send his goons after us at the camp and chose to kidnap Kacchan. Villains make their choice, if they don't want to try hard enough to get through the tough parts of life, it's their own fault."

Mayday looked a little bothered by what Izuku had to say, hearing him say such stuff with such conviction. "Guess even Izuku's kindness has it's limits. I can't fault him since he's not exactly wrong, some villains just want chaos."

"I do find it admirable that Peter cares this much about others," Izuku said. "I just hope he doesn't end up regretting it."

"I don't think he will," Mayday said, sipping her tea to it's last drop. "We should head back to the dorms soon."

"We have a little more time, and I kind of want to keep talking with you some more," Izuku said. "If you don't mind that is."

"I don't," Mayday said, blushing a little. "I'm happy to keep this up a bit longer."

"I don't know why I want to spend time with Mayday, maybe I just want to get to know her more since I feel like I don't know enough," Izuku theorized. "Plus, I can sense a bit of humility in her, maybe I can get her to show it more and help her be the hero she wants to be."

A day later during the middle of the night.

Izuku got a text on his phone. He looked over to see that it was from Peter as he read out loud.

"Sorry this is so late, but Nighteye called for a meeting tomorrow morning. I let Tsu and Ochako know as well, but be sure the rest of your classmates got their message, that includes Mayday too. Eraser should excuse your absence from school tomorrow, so head straight to the same building as before around noon. Remember, don't let your other classmates know, this has to be top secret."

Izuku immediately texted back. "I'll let them know. Thank you for keeping me updated. I'm ready to do this."

Taking the moment, Izuku sent out a group text to his classmates, letting them know about his text from Peter, most of them waking up to reply.

"I'll see you tomorrow then Peter," Ochako replied.

"Appreciate the heads-up Spidey, you too Midoriya," Kirishima replied.

"We'll be ready," Momo replied.

"Geez, couldn't this wait until morning?" Mayday replied.

"MAYDAY!" Peter angrily texted.

The following morning, everyone had met up at the meeting place. While at first it was just the local heroes, things got awkward the moment Peter and his friends walked into the room. A few of the heroes cast glances, some attempted to avoid eye contact. Ryukyu was the only one glaring at Peter, the hero doing his best not to notice.

"And...there's the awkward. Way to go Web-Head, you just had to make a scene the other day..." Peter sheepishly made his way to the front, still trying not to cast any glances.

His friends were no different, some avoiding eye contact, others just not caring and making themselves comfortable.

This didn't last too long, as the meeting started shortly afterwards, with Nighteye in front, sitting behind his desk. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I understand many of you have done your investigations of all the Hassaikai places of business."

"Some of them turned out to be a bust," Ryukyu said. "Nothing of interest."

"Some had some shipping crates and what-not, with symbols I didn't fully recognize," Fat Gum said.

"Me, Spider-Man, Nightwing and X-23 scouted the stronghold," Rock Lock said. "Spidey here was able to confirm more business happening in the Hassaikai."

"My drones picked up a bunch of new information," Peter said. "For starters, their base has a secret entrance leading into the underground, it's pretty well hidden but not too hard to figure out."

"Noted," Nighteye said.

"Also it seems like they're still planning to manufacture bullets with some leftover blood from Eri, but it's not a lot," Peter added.

"We have reason to believe they'll try to find her, but fortunately there's no evidence suggesting they know where she is," Nightwing said.

"Did your drones pick up a lot of useful info?" Nightwing asked. "Anything more to note? Any secrets they might have?"

"One of my feeds may have located some the location of some quirk enhancement drugs, they were experimenting on some guy, and he did not handle it so well," Peter said. "But it does confirm they have those things at their base too. One more thing to bust Chisaki on."

"I spotted a few containers of the stuff myself," Logan said. "They had plenty of back-up copies."

"Also, I may have found evidence of their alliance with a group named S.I.N.," Peter said.

This caught Chun-Li's attention, "Spider-Man, are you certain?"

"One of their crates had the S.I.N. symbol," Peter said. "Fat Gum, did you happen to see an eye with a grid sphere around it?"

"Yeah, that's the symbol I saw," Fat Gum said. "Wait, is that the S.I.N. logo?"

"You got it," Peter said.

"If S.I.N. is here, then this has gotten a lot bigger," Leon said.

"I think I've heard of this group once or twice, but what are they exactly though?" Fat Gum asked.

"S.I.N. stands for Shadoloo Intimidation Network," Chun-Li said. "Once upon a time, they supplied weapons for Shadoloo, but the leader at the time, a man named Seth had tried breaking free of Shadoloo's leader, General Bison."

"Seth has been defeated, and hasn't been seen in years," Leon said. "Many believe he's dead, but like Bison, he has clones of his body and can transplant his mind wherever it needs to be."

"Didn't he once use a woman's body?" Johnny asked.

"...Yeah, that was pretty weird," Leon awkwardly admitted. "Still, after he fell, S.I.N. fell into the hands of a man named Albert Wesker."

"Which means that Wesker might be involved somehow," Peter said. "Which also means things might get a lot more dangerous."

"You think the Hassaikai were gonna sell their gear to Wesker?" Johnny asked.

"I wouldn't put it past them, and who knows what Wesker offered in substitution," Peter said.

"Well if the League of Villains are involved, they might recruit Wesker's help to create more of those Nomu," Leon said. "It could be part of some big underground trade all these different groups are trying to do."

"Remember what we said, with The Brotherhood around, they themselves might have suggested Shadoloo given their prior alliance," Laura said.

"Considering Magneto and Bison tried to kill each other once, I won't say that's a big confirmation," Bobby said.

"Well Magneto isn't leading The Brotherhood these days, so the possibility is still there," Laura said.

"Great, just when we think we have answers, we just get more questions," Rock Lock said.

"Sorry, wish I could confirm more information, but we know they've contacted S.I.N. and likely Shadoloo themselves," Peter said. "Which means we might be in for a dangerous fight."

"You've stopped Wesker before, we'll be fine," Amy said. "But it's clear we need to do this now, if too much time passes, who knows what damage these groups can do."

"Yeah seriously, no more waiting, let's storm this place now," Rock Lock said.

"Oh wait, Peter, isn't there something else you found?" Laura asked. "You made it seem important and you had to act on it right away."

"Hm? Oh yeah...I found out something awesome," Peter said, reaching into a bag.

"What could it be?" Izuku wondered.

"A big clue perhaps?" Mirio theorized.

"It must be really important if Peter's making it a big deal," Ochako felt.

Seconds later, Peter pulled out what looked to be a children's toy. "Gung Ho Glitter Squad Ten!"

Everyone stared in disbelief, their expectations taking an immediate nosedive.

"You for real?" Rock Lock asked.

"Didn't expect you to be a fan of that stuff," Ryukyu said. "Though you don't strike me as the most masculine hero so-"

"Hey come on now, different strokes for different folks!" Fat Gum said. "If Spidey likes cutesy stuff that's his right! Have you seen his wife's country?"

"Yo, Equestria isn't cutesy!" Rainbow Dash insisted.

"It kind of is," Amy said.

"Who asked you!?" Rainbow Dash snapped back. "Seriously, this is why the hero world never takes us seriously, we're too girly compared to macho masculine heroes apparently!"

"Being girly isn't bad," Ochako said.

"Exactly, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it works for me," Amy said.

"Again, who asked you!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Seriously, I can't imagine what Peter has you teaching his students," Johnny said.

"Hey, don't be mean to Amy!" Twilight warned.

"Guess they hate how cutesy she is," Bobby joked.

"Put a sock in it, Icicle!" Rainbow Dash said.

Peter placed his fingers to his mouth, letting out a loud whistle, "Everyone cool it! This toy isn't for me, it's for Eri. When I was checking out the complex I saw what looked like Eri's room there. Super depressing. But she had some toys in her room, including Squad Action Glitter Squad. So I stopped by a store and the lady suggested the new series, Gung Ho Glitter Squad 10."

"Spidey, I respect you and all, but what does this have to do with what's happening here?" Rock Lock asked.

"Uh...nothing, but I was asked what else I saw and I just thought Eri would like a cute toy," Peter said. "Actually, when we raid this base, I want to make sure I get all her old toys in the process, she might be missing a few."

"Wow, you're really something else Spider-Man," Leon said. "But it's one of the reasons I respect you. How many heroes can say they'd rescue something dear to a child?"

"That's my uncle," Flurry said. "He's always been the best at keeping kids happy, especially with neat gifts. That toy looks kind of cute too, I wouldn't mind having one."

"Figured you'd say that," Peter said, reaching into his bag and pulling out a second. "So I got you one too."

Flurry's eyes sparkled as Peter handed her the toy, "Thanks Uncle Peter! I'll place this in my room alongside my other shiny toys!"

"I also got one for you Mayday," Peter said.

"Huh? Dad I'm fifteen, I don't want girly, kiddy stuff!" Mayday said.

"I'm fifteen too, and I love this," Flurry said.

"Yeah, but we established you're from a cutesy country so it's okay for you to like that dumb, girly stuff," Mayday said.

"Great, that's gonna be a thing now," Rainbow Dash said. "Mayday, you spent time in Equestria too, and I recall you having a lot of cute toys as a kid."

"Keyword, 'kid', I'm a woman now," Mayday said.

"Kind of short to be a woman," Bobby teased.

"What the hell, Bobby!?" Mayday shouted. "Why are you always so damn annoying!"

"Enough please, let's try to be civil here," Twilight said. "If we have all the evidence we need, can we do what we have to do?"

"Oh totally, we worked with the police and they gave us a warrant to search the place," Bubble Girl said.

"I can verify that," Chun-Li confirmed. "We'll set a date and time to start the raid. With luck, they'll surrender without a fight."

"But that means being really lucky, and luck is not our thing," Leon said. "So expect a fight."

"Come the day of the raid, you'll have an entire police force by your side," Chun-Li said. "We'll get to the bottom of this one way or another."

"Oh wow, so we're working with the police?" Ochako asked. "So we'd be like real cops?"

"Sort of, you handle beating up the bad guys, guys like Tsukauchi will handle the handcuffs," Leon said.

"Working with the police though, it sounds like I will need to bring back the ultimate ally to the police force," Peter said. "Time for a grizzled old officer to come out of retirement for one more go."

Logan's eye twitched, "Peter, I swear if you-"

"It's the return of Spider-Cop!" Peter said, hitting a thwip pose as he spoke in a gravelly voice. "Part spider, part hero, all cop!"

"Christ Almighty..." Logan lamented.

"Dad...what are you doing?" Mayday asked.

"Your old man has seen some things kiddo, terrible things, the type of things that push a man to the edge," Peter said, continuing his Spider-Cop voice. "Things that make a man want to let matches burn down to his fingertips just to see if he still feels something, anything at all."

"The hell?" Rock Lock wondered.

Amy couldn't help but giggle, one thing she loved about Peter was his sense of humor after all, "He's such an adorable goofball."

"You need to take this seriously, Spider-Man," Ryukyu said.

"Oh let him have some fun," Fat Gum said. "Good to ease the tension. After all, even All Might says smiles are an important part of being a hero."

"Yeah, so lay off," Johnny said.

"Dames like Ryukyu just can't understand guys like Spider-Cop. Always the misunderstood man of action. No one understands him like the love of his life," Peter turned to Twilight, gently caressing her cheek. "The beautiful Princess of Friendship, the shining light in his dark tunnel."

"Peter, not in front of everyone," Twilight said, resisting the urge to giggle herself.

"This is kind of funny...guess it is like Pinkie Pie once said," Izuku recalled.

"Isn't it nice to have funny moments like this? Reminds us that even in dark times we can still find something to smile and laugh about."

"If you're done, then this meeting is adjourned," Nighteye said. "We will be meeting the police tomorrow at 8am sharp."

"Wait, hold on," Peter said, getting Nighteye's attention. "Listen, in all seriousness, I need to set the record straight. I know we've been at each other's throats over this whole Eri thing. You believe in your plan, and I believed in mine. But, that's not important to me right now. The other day, I acted out of line. I let my feelings get the better of me and I should not have resorted to physical threats. As a hero, a teacher, and a father, it's my job to control myself and set an example for my children, and for my students, as well as other would-be heroes."

"Looks like Peter's ready to put this behind him," Izuku felt.

Peter walked over to Nighteye, bowing to his fellow hero, "Please, I hope you can forgive my actions, Sir Nighteye. I also hope we can pull this mission off with the utmost success."

Nighteye glanced at Peter for a second, merely turning to leave, "Your apology is accepted. Now get going, time is wasting."

As Nighteye left, the other heroes stood by in awkward silence, one that was eventually broken by Rock Lock, "That's it?"

"I guess," Fat Gum said. "Good on you Spider-Man, takes a big man to admit to a mistake. Easy to see why you're such a great-"

"Oh screw that man!" Rock Lock said. "I only heard one apology, where's the other?"

"Not the time for this," Fat Gum said.

"Oh please, I know you found what Nighteye did to be complete bullshit! He's just as much of a reason a fight nearly happened the other day," Rock Lock said. "Spider-Man composed himself a lot better than he did, why is Spidey the one apologizing while Nighteye just gets away with it?"

"It's fine, man," Peter said. "I just wanted to clear the air."

"You didn't do anything wrong, you're the one who's been busting his ass trying to compromise," Rock Lock said. "You saved the girl, you placed that tracker, you confirmed without a doubt where this Chisaki guy is and got evidence regarding those drugs and those bullets, plus an alliance with another crime group."

"It was a team effort," Peter said. "Everyone did their part."

"Some more than others," Rock Lock said.

"Look, I just care about busting Chisaki, I don't need to be best friends with Nighteye to do that," Peter said. "I know he wants to bring down the Hassaikai just as much too. That's all that matters to me."

"Well said Spider-Man," Fat Gum agreed. "We can work out formalities later. Everyone prepare for tomorrow."

"Right," Peter turned to his students. "Izuku, Ochako, Tsuyu, come meet at my place, we're gonna do some last-minute preparations."

"Yes sir," the trio said.

"Ease up on the 'sir', it feels weird," Peter insisted.

"Right, sorry, guess we're still into this whole meeting," Izuku said.

"Peter, mind if I speak to you a second?" Chun-Li asked.

"Sure," Peter said, then turned to his students. "Meet you back home."

"I'll lead the way," Amy said.

"Hey, where's Peni?" Izuku asked. "I thought she'd be here too."

"She's back home checking on the Networks, seeing if she can find more evidence of communication regarding the Hassaikai," Peter said.

"Peni's such a hard worker, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to navigate those networks," Ochako said.

Meanwhile

At the Parker-Sparkle Condo, Peni is seen surveilling the networks while at the same time, stuffing potato chips in her mouth as she bops to music and chews on bubblegum. Even Eri who was nearby was amazed at how focused she was in her work.

Back at the Meeting Place

"I'll be right back," Peter said, going to speak with Chun-Li.

"Gotta say, I'm really excited about this," Ochako said. "Another mission with Peter, this is so-"

"Excuse me, young lady?" Ryukyu said.

"Oh, yes Ryukyu?" Ochako asked. "Did you need something?"

"Not much, I just wanted to say that I heard a lot about you from Aikaze," Ryukyu said, gesturing to Flurry Heart. "She says you're a very strong and determined girl, just like your friend Froppy."

"Me?" Tsuyu asked.

"I appreciate that," Ochako said.

"I just wanted to let you know that if you're ever interested, I have openings in my agency, I'd love to have sidekicks like you two," Ryukyu said.

"I'm flattered, but I'm very happy training with Spider-Man," Ochako said.

"Well the option is there if you change your mind," Ryukyu said. "Still, I feel like you'd be a better fit with me."

"I can't imagine myself not with Peter, he's more than my trainer, he's like my big brother," Ochako said. "I love being around him, he makes me feel like I can do anything."

"Well, if you're certain then," Ryukyu said.

"She said she's fine," Rock Lock said, getting their attention. "Spider-Man got these three kids first."

"Well I just wanted the girls, he can have the green haired boy," Ryukyu said.

"Huh? Any reason you want the girls only? What is this a 'No Boys Allowed' club?" Rock Lock asked.

"I assure you I am not petty like that, granted training female heroes is a bit easier for me than male ones," Ryukyu said. "But if she says 'no', then that's fine with me."

Ryukyu made her leave with Nejire and Flurry, leaving Rock Lock a bit annoyed, "The nerve of that lady."

"Was she doing something bad?" Tsuyu asked.

"Not necessarily, but it is a bit scummy of her to try and take away a guy's students like that," Rock Lock said. "Of course given those rumors..."

"What rumors?" Ochako asked.

"Just keep an eye out, some folks don't exactly like Spider-Man, mainly since he's a bit of a free thinker and does his own thing," Rock Lock said. "He's got plenty of backup but you never know in this line of work."

"...I was worried about Peter getting fired, I hope it doesn't happen," Ochako said. "Of course, I'll still maintain loyalty to him."

"You got a good teacher, and if things go well here, it could help Spider-Man fill a void that All Might left behind," Rock Lock said.

"You really think so?" Tsuyu asked.

"He's definitely got a following, his dedication to his work earned him the trust of the public," Rock Lock said. "A bit more and he could be the new Number One Hero."

"Wow...that would be amazing," Ochako said, turning her attention to Peter. "Somehow though, I don't think he would care that much though. He's not about the popularity, just doing the right thing. That's what makes him Amazing."

Meanwhile Mayday saw her phone buzzing. She checked to see that she got some text messages from overseas.

MJ (Godmother)

"Did you have your date? Or is it a date? Plus, how's your suit working out? Been on a lot of missions?"

Big Sis Gwen

"How did things go with that boy? Does he like you? I bet he likes you. Also Peni told me that Peter might be adopting, is this true?"

Miles (Thwippy)

"Yo Mayday, holding the fort in Japan? Hope you're not driving anyone crazy out there. Also, what's this about you dating?"

Uncle Tony

"I hear you're getting lucky with a boy. Is it that strange kid with the green hair? Seems like you and Peter really took a liking to him in different ways."

Aunt May

"Hi dear, I hear you're doing really well in Japan, and you caught the eye of a nice boy. I'd love to hear more when you have the chance."

Big Sis Kitty

"Mayday, what's up girl? Getting yourself a boyfriend? Yeah, I heard the gossip, you know Peter's friends can't keep their mouths shut. I want details young missy." :3

"You look distracted," Mirio said, getting Mayday's attention.

"Oh sorry, I got text messages from some of my dad's friends," Mayday said. "They want to know how I'm doing."

"Friends? Like superhero friends or regular friends?" Mirio asked.

"Heroes, like my dad's sidekick Kid Arachnid. Or Shadow Spider, he's in the middle of a name change," Mayday said. "There's also Ghost Spider and Shadowcat."

"Oh sweet, is Shadowcat coming? I'd love to compare quirks," Mirio said.

"I think she wants to come soon, I'll ask again when I call her," Mayday said, readying her phone. "Just give me a second."

"Sure," Mirio said.

"Alright, time to call everyone in order," Mayday said, dialing her phone. "Except Miles, let him figure this out by himself."

The day had come and gone, everyone was just about ready for the big raid.

That time at the Hassaikai base, Chronostasis was on the phone with a partner.

"Keep watch, a bunch have been gathering since early this morning, and the cops are around too," the voice on the phone said.

"Boss," Chrono said, turning to Overhaul. "It seems like they're about to strike."

"Figures, that would explain this stupid thing," Overhaul said, gesturing to a destroyed spider drone. "Did Spider-Man really expect us not to find this?"

"What should we do?" Mimic asked.

"You contact Wesker, let him know what's happening," Overhaul said, standing up and leaving. "Chrono, proceed as planned."

"Where are you going?" Chrono asked.

"To take care of something," Overhaul said.

It was 8:00 AM, the following morning. All the pros and their work study students were present in front of the police station as the lead policeman handed out some papers.

"As you all know, Spider-Man recently discovered the location of the Shie Hassaikai, and through his cooperation with Sir Nighteye, the two discovered several underground facilities," the chief said. "A young girl rescued by Spider-Man confirmed some of their illegal practices, and we will be putting a stop to it all. Stay smart, these guys are dangerous, and will use full force, but with effort, we can bring this group down for good and prevent any further transgressions. Now, on those papers is a list of Hassaikai members and their quirks, far as we know at least. Commit these to memory."

"Yeah, things are moving really fast now!" Kirishima said.

"You're way too energetic considering the hour," Tamaki said.

"Early bird catches the worm," Flurry said. "Or in this case, catches the crooks."

"I'm honestly kind of nervous," Ochako said.

"Me too, between detective work and cooperating with the police," Tsuyu said. "So much I don't know about being a hero."

"Welcome to the real world, kid," Logan said. "It ain't always like the comics, sometimes it is but there's a lot of detail that goes into all of this."

"Schools don't always prepare you for investigations like this," Ryukyu said. "It takes time to adjust."

"Hey, has anyone seen Gran Torino?" Izuku asked. "I thought he'd be here."

"He will not be joining us today," Nighteye said, getting his attention.

"He won't?" Izuku asked.

"He's on mission right now," Came the voice of Chun-Li. "Mr. Tsukauchi has been keeping tabs on The League of Villains and The Brotherhood of Mutants, so Gran Torino went to assist in some leads."

"Hey all I'm hearing is that we can bring down The League, The Brotherhood and the Hassaikai at the same time," Kirishima said.

"If we're lucky," Chun-Li said.

"Will he be alright on his own?" Momo asked. "Does he have any assistance?"

"Far as I know, he's doing this alone, but don't be surprised if Spider-Man had that covered too," Chun-Li said. "Things will be fine, for now focus on the task ahead."

"Right, I'm ready!" Izuku declared.

"Not yet," Aizawa said, surprising Izuku.

"Mr. Eraser?"

"I'm on this mission too," Aizawa said. "I'll be keeping an eye on you. Remember, use your head."

"Yes sir," Izuku said.

Peter was seen communicating through his mask, "Yeah, we're at the station. Sorry you couldn't come but I'd really rather someone stay with Eri."

"It's understandable," Peni said from the other line. "Don't worry about Eri though, she's safe with me and Benjy. He's actually pretending to be her bodyguard."

"Heh, that's my boy, always looking out for pretty girls," Peter joked. "Maybe Eri can try to spend time with Pan and Bulla, if she's up to it."

"We'll give it a shot, good luck today," Peni said.

"Don't worry, we got this," Peter said, hanging up the call.

"Things can get really violent in there," the policeman said. "If you encounter even the slightest hint of suspicious behavior, call for help immediately."

"Here, take this swordfish," Fat Gum said, handing something over to Tamaki. "You'll need it."

"Thanks," Tamaki said, taking the food.

"Remember, we're up against gangsters who have avoided capture for a long time," the policeman said. "It is imperative that you stay sharp and carry out your assignments flawlessly. The operation will commence at 0 Eight Hundred and Thirty Hours."

"Huh?" Mayday asked.

"8:30," Mirio said.

"Oh, got it," Mayday said.

"Heroes, move out!" the policeman said.

Down the hall in his base, Overhaul was seen checking on an old man that was connected to a life support machine.

"Sorry pops, things are about to get noisy."

A half hour later, everyone was standing in front of the Hassaikai Base, ready to storm in at a moment's notice.

"Once they've read the warrant, I want everyone to move and act swiftly," the lead officer said.

"What's with this guy, he's acting like we don't know our jobs," Rock Lock said.

"You know what he means," Fat Gum said.

"Everyone, stay on your guard!" Chun-Li said. "Leon will be leading the police, the rest of you heroes will handle things with your group. All Work Study students stay with your pros and do not act without their permission!"

"We all know what to do! Just give the order! I'm ready to bust some heads!" Laura said.

"Also, please try not to kill anyone, most of you are pro heroes so I don't have to worry about you but to certain mercenaries, dial it back!" Chun-Li instructed.

"Pfft, I ain't promising shit," Laura stated.

"Laura, don't make me send you home," Logan warned.

"Oh fine," Laura said.

"Here's the problem," Rock Lock said. "Lets say these yakuza bastards see us all here, they're going to get suspicious and try to hide."

However the moment the chief tried getting the door opened, a big brute named Rikiya punched through, knocking one cop into the arms of Fat Gum while Izuku rushed to save the other.

Peter used his speed to create a bed of webs for the other cops to land on. "Those guys certainly aren't wasting time."

"What do you all want?" Rikiya asked. "It's too early for visitors."

"You kidding me? How the hell do they already know we're here?" Rock Lock asked.

"Who cares?" Laura shouted, extending her claws while flashing a malicious grin. "Let's get down to business!"

"Alright, let's wake up a little!" Rikya shouted, about to throw another punch.

"Out of my way!" Ryukyu shouted, transforming into a giant dragon and blocking the villain's punch.

"Whoa! That's awesome!" Kaminari said.

"Let's not split up too many of our forces, let the Ryukyu Agency handle this villain," Ryukyu said, knocking the brute back.

"Flurry, let's support Ryukyu!" Nejire said.

"Yeah, got it," Flurry said, running in with Nejire.

"The rest of you! Head in!" Leon ordered as he rushed inside the base.

"We're right behind you, Agent Kennedy!" Fat Gum said, the others following.

"This is the heroes and police!" the lead officer shouted. "We have a warrant to search your premises on suspicion of manufacturing and selling illegal drugs!"

"As well as proof of child endangerment!" Leon shouted.

"They got a warrant!?" a guy asked.

"Who cares! Take them out!" another said, using his quirk to send needles at the group.

Logan rushed in, taking the needles without care and punched the quirk user in the jaw, knocking him out while some other pros took down his allies.

"You're so awesome dad!" Rina shouted.

"Quick! Inside!" Peter said as the police ran closer.

However a figure landed in front of them, hitting the ground hard enough to cause a smoke screen, much to everyone's confusion.

"Hey, who's there!?" Fat Gum asked.

Within seconds, the figure emerged from the dust, revealing himself to be Wesker and punched through a cop's riot shield, sending him flying back. He quickly turned and hit an uppercut that sent another flying, with the nearby Videl catching him.

A few more cops ran to attack but were each knocked back with punches too fast for any of them to catch, as the villain reappeared before the heroes, red eyes glaring through his sunglasses specifically at Izuku.

"Who in the world!?" Izuku asked, laying eyes on his newfound foe.

"Nice to meet you, Izuku Midoriya," Wesker sinisterly greeted.

"WESKER!" Leon shouted, grabbing his gun and opening fire, the villain effortlessly dodging the bullets and knocking Leon back.

"So you're here, I was hoping to see Chris," Wesker said. Suddenly he found himself blocking a strike from Peter, the villain sinisterly glaring at the spider. "But I am glad to see you here, Spider-Man."

"What the hell are you doing here, Wesker!?" Peter went for another strike but Wesker dodged to the side.

Rainbow Dash flew in with a kick but Wesker blocked and knocked her into a bunch of heroes before he himself leapt up to the top of the roof.

"I came here to pay a visit to Tomura Shigaraki, then I ran into Kai Chisaki and we struck quite a marvelous deal," Wesker said. "He's willing to help me with my research if I help him manufacture some quirk bullets."

"So you are part of this operation?" Chun-Li verified. "Figured you would be, we know S.I.N. has been working with the Hassaikai."

"My, cleverly deducted," Wesker sarcastically replied.

"Hold on, you mentioned Shigaraki, what could you possibly want from The League of Villains?" Peter asked.

"One for All is a business partner of mine, of course thanks to All Might, that partnership took quite a hit," Wesker said. "Which is fine, I do quite well at preparing back-up plans."

"Peter seems to know that guy," Tsuyu commented.

"You should too, that's Albert Wesker," Johnny explained, everyone turning their attention to him. "He's a big part of the reason why Raccoon City got infected with a virus that destroyed the town."

"Bit of slander, Human Torch," Wesker said. "I didn't infect the city."

"Maybe not directly, but your pal William Birkin did," Leon said. "Plus you worked for Umbrella, you helped develop the T-Virus! You're just as much at fault as anyone from that damn company!"

"I can't help what my colleagues create, or do," Wesker said. "But, I suppose you can blame me for what happened to Kijuju."

"Kijuju?" Izuku asked.

"A city in West Africa," Johnny explained. "Wesker tried out a virus on an unsuspecting town that turned them into zombie-type creatures, albeit with a bit more intelligence. He was thwarted in the end and presumed dead after falling into a volcano."

"Wait, that's the guy who makes zombies?" Kaminari asked, the boy feeling very freaked out. "Is he gonna turn all of us into zombies!?"

"Not if we're careful," Jiro said.

"Someone gonna take this guy out or something?" Rock Lock muttered to himself.

"This is freaking me out a bit, I mean that Wesker dude already seems tough," Kaminari said. "He fell into a volcano! And lived!"

"Pfft, falling into a volcano is no big deal, I could live through that too," Johnny said.

"Jealous, Johnathan?" Wesker asked.

"Bro, call me 'Johnathan' again and I will make that volcano feel like a dip in a hot spring," Johnny warned, readying his fire.

"I'd love to play with you, but I'm afraid I have business elsewhere," Wesker said. "See, recently Peter, you created quite a blunder in the business of Kai Chisaki by taking that little girl."

"Eri?" Peter asked.

"Yes, that's the one, cute little child," Wesker said. "Chisaki appreciates you playing babysitter for her Peter, but he needs her back."

"Screw that, no way that bastard's getting his hands on that girl again!" Peter shouted. "He's not even her father, regardless of what he might have said."

"Yo why the hell are we just standing around doing nothing!?" Rock Lock asked. "That guy is open, someone take him out already!"

"Didn't he dodge gunfire like nothing though?" Kaminari asked.

"Plus getting him to confess some of his plans is a good move," Fat Gum said. "Personally, I've heard enough, so let's try a different plan to bring him to justice."

"I'll get him!" Laura shouted, leaping at Wesker, though the villain was quick to dodge out of the way and kicked her off the roof.

"Take this!" Amy leapt up with her hammer and tried to slam down on Wesker but again he was quick to evade.

"I'd hate to run, but I have work to do," Wesker said. "Peter, maybe it's not such a good idea for your home to be somewhere that anyone can reach."

"You stay away from my home!" Peter rushed to attack but Nejire got knocked into him, courtesy of the brute still fighting Ryukyu and Flurry.

"I completely forgot about the fight behind us," Ochako said.

"Getting off to a bad start people," Rock Lock said. "We need to double time it."

"Appreciate that my good man," Wesker said to Rikaya, making his leave as he grabbed a radio. "Juri, it's time."

Coming from the doors of the Shie Hassaikai was Juri Han, the woman leaping over the heroes and landing on the gateway behind them. "See you later."

"Juri!?" Chun-Li shouted in worry. "Quick, after her!"

"Dad! I think they're going back to our place!" Mayday shouted. "Wesker's gonna get Eri!"

"Not a chance!" Peter shouted. "Deku! Uravity! Froppy! With me!"

"Yes sir!" the three said, following Peter.

"Right behind you too, Peter!" Amy said, following her friend.

"Starfire, go help Peter," Nightwing said. "The rest of us have this under control."

"Of course," Starfire said, flying off to lend her assistance.

"Momo, come with me," Twilight said, going in pursuit.

"Right behind you, ma'am," Momo said, following Twilight.

"Mom! Dad! I'm coming too!" Mayday called.

"No!" Nighteye said. "You stay with us!"

"You can't be serious!" Mayday shouted. "Wesker is heading towards where my family lives!"

"Sir with all due respect, Spider-Girl should protect her home," Mirio insisted.

"We have a job to do here," Nighteye said. "I'm sorry Spider-Girl, but you need to stay by my side."

Mayday huffed in annoyance, ready to leave regardless. Fortunately Mirio was quick to settle things, "Mayday, the sooner we wrap up here, the sooner we can go check on your home. I promise you that we will not let anything happen to your family."

"Fine...but if this takes too long, I'm bolting," Mayday said. "I don't care if it gets me fired."

"Understandable," Mirio said. "Let's hurry."

"Chun-Li, are you going after Juri?" Leon asked.

"Later, let's bust this operation," Chun-Li said. "Besides Peter's got this under control."

Down below, Overhaul was walking through a hallway alongside Chronostasis.

"There's a lot of them out there," Chrono said. "They're running in the same direction, so they know where they wanna go."

"This happened sooner than I thought," Overhaul said. "We can't be found right now, and until Wesker comes back with Eri, we can't leave just yet. If anything, we can feign innocence, tell the higher ups that those heroes attacked on their own."

"That is what our pawns were groomed for," Chrono said. "The eight bullets of the Hassaikai group."

"Once Wesker returns with Eri, we'll collect our plans and disappear," Overhaul said.

"Can he be trusted?" Chrono asked. "He betrayed Umbrella, suppose he takes Eri for his own self gain?"

"...You know, that is a good possibility," Overhaul admitted. "Maybe we should make a stop of our own, ensure he holds up his end of the deal."
