Y/N sits on the edge of the roof Chrysler building, looking down at his phone. He focuses on the message he had sent both Miles and Peter in his group chat.
Newbie: Hey guys, can you meet me at the Chrysler Building? We need to talk.
Electric Spider: I'm actually not that far, I'll be there shortly.
OG Spider: I'm leaving the foundation right now anyway, I'll make my way over.
Y/N turns off his phone as he looks at the box next to him. He recalls the conversation he had with Nick not that long ago before arriving here.
Flashback
"From what my teachers says in history class, unlike here in New York, vigilante acts are illegal. In order for heroes to be around in those parts of the world, they have to get a license and attend a hero school." Y/N explains as he touches the UA letters behind the disk.
Nick nods "That's the basics of it. The only reason why we don't have one for New York is thanks to Mr.Stark."
Y/N eyes widen "The Iron Man?"
Nick smirks "The very same. Until recently, the city didnt have the budget for it, however due to crime rates, people started fighting back."
Y/N leans on the table "We're not alone?"
Nick shakes his head "Of course not, there are more heroes out in the city. We have a blind guy that fights like he has senses of a bat, a guy who has indestructible skin, and of course we have the avengers when they're around."
Y/N sits back in his seat. While he knew that there were other heroes out there, he didnt know there were that many.
Nick continues "Getting right back on subject of Hero Schools, the device I gave you has a recording from the principle of one of the best schools on the planet. U.A High."
Y/N examines the device before noticing that the U.A symbol looked like a button. The boy looks at Nick, who gestures to the button "Push it."
Y/N shrugs as he pushes the button and puts it down. Suddenly a hologram screen appears in front of him as he sees the principle on screen.
It appeared to be a small mouse like creature wearing a suit, he was sitting in a chair with a normal size desk in front of him.
The mouse begins to speak, but it began to come out in japanese, before an robotic auto translation voice began to translate.
"Hello there Mr. L/N." the voice translate as it quickly makes Y/N jump from his seat. It was garbled and loud.
"Jeez what is that voice?!" Y/N shouts in fear as Fury winces.
"Sorry about that kid, it still has some issues." He states grabbing the disk device before giving it a good slam on the table, before giving it back.
As the principle continues to speak, this time the voice for the translation was clearer and quieter, definitely more comfortable for the young teen to hear.
"It is with my sincerest hopes that this message gets to you. I know all about who you are Mr. L/N, or should I say Spider-man."
His eyes widen as Nick speaks "Yep, I wouldn't underestimate him. Despite his adorable looks, that mouse is a smart one."
The boy slowly nods his head and looks back on the screen as fears begin to enter his mind.
If they know who he is, does that mean they know about Pete and Miles?
About who they work with?
Are their loved ones in danger?
"You have nothing to worry about regarding your identity Mr. L/N." The translator speaks for the principle.
Y/N eyes blank out and widen as he is in shock 'DID HE READ MY MIND?!?!?!'
Nick fury looks at the boy and shakes his head "No. He is smart enough to predict what someone might react. Not perfect, but in the case with someone like you, it's kinda easy."
Y/N grows a tick mark on his head 'Did this Cyclops just say I was dumb?'
Nick gestures back to the video "Keep watching."
Y/N grumbles to himself as he looks back on the screen.
The rat creature continued to speak as the translator did its job "Like I stated, you have nothing to fear. Mutiple reasons as to why you have nothing to worry about that include jurisdiction, no plausible cause, and more importantly, laws in your city."
The principle raises a finger "But more importantly, that is not my goal. Let's get introductions out of the way, I could be a rat, a small bear, or a dog, but more importantly I am the principle of U.A High, Nezu."
"I have come to offer a proposal to you. A little background first. You see when your city started to get attacked and invaed by "Hunters" as your city called them, it brought attention to mutiple people outside the country, myself included. While viewing the events that transpired, my interest then focused on you."
A small screen appears next to the principle, as a video is played. Y/N recognizes it immediately.
It was when his debut when a reporter was in the scene and his first Spider-man moment.
It wasn't anything too news worthy compared to what they dealt with, it was just a simple apartment fire. He was more of a support to the two Spider-Men. While Peter and Miles were grabbing people, he was outside helping those who were in the building get out, helping the firefighters, and making sure no civilians got too close.
Another clip shows Miles and Y/N taking down some muggers, with Y/N pulling them out the car and Miles using his webs and strength to slow it down.
A few more screens pop up, showing multiple clips of Y/N's action. From his fights with the Hunters, to helping people in the Sandman attack, and even one showed him helping a cat out of a tree, which ended when the cat got scared and attacked him.
"Looking at these footage, I see many things. A strong person. A careful one. A great support person. But above all what I saw mostly was untapped potential." Nezu states as the screens disappear.
The principle continues "Even with these clips, I wasnt too impressed at first, as these actions seemed to be normal actions that any Pro Hero would do."
Another screen popped up, only this one was blank "If it wasn't for this clip, we probably wouldnt be speaking. However due to the nature of the events that had happened, I wanted to know more and I did some digging."
The screen shows the fight between Peter and Miles against the Symbiote, or Venom in this case, at Time Square. The clip shows the creature being shocked and weakened with sound at the same time as it begins to recede.Then the girl and her mother appeared as the jumbotron started to fall.
Y/N remembered this as his memories correlated with the video itself.
When he caught the Jumbotron, when he tore off the symbiote, when Peter and Miles captured it, and when they left the area.
Of course the only one that knew well of what had happened between the Symbiote and Y/N was Y/N himself.
The screen disappears as Nezu spoke "While I do not now the true context of that video, I can make a fair assumption that until a certain point, the actions of that creature were not your own. Not until the debris fell and you jumped in to save those people."
"Those actions are from a hero that despite the trouble they're facing, the demons they're facing, with your case being quite literal, they were willing to risk their health to protect those in need." Nezu states smiling as he continues.
"Which is why I have this proposal for you. You're sloppy, unrefined, but have the heart of a true hero, which many people in this day in age do not have. However if you were to come to my school, we can provide you with teachers who can help guide your growth, as a hero and a student."
He then waves his hand off "The choice is yours however, I do not want to force you. If you have any further questions, I'm pretty sure my associate there can help out. I hope you have a pleasant day Mr. L/N." The hologram screen shuts down as the disk remains on the table unmoving.
Y/N scoffs "He can't be serious."
Nick raises an eyebrow "He is. Why is that surprising to you?"
Y/N stands up "Why would I join? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the offer, but does he forget that I have a responsibility?"
Nick responds flatly "And you also must have forgotten what I have mentioned. Do Not Underestimate Him."
The man sighs before interlocking his hands and putting them on his face "In any normal situation, he probably wouldnt have done this because of that reasoning. However, because of Kraven's actions and the villains he has killed, the city has become a safer place, even if that was not his intentions."
Nick looks Y/N dead in the eyes "In all the time that Peter and Miles have been Spider-man and have been doing their patrols, this is the first time in ages where they would get days off. Even in the beginning when Miles became Spider-man, the two never had days off."
Y/N tries to retort "Well that doesn't mean that crime is completely gone."
Nick begins to shake his head "Maybe not, however let me ask you this."
Nick lifts a finger "Besides the occasional muggings since Kraven's capture, how many crimes have been committed that needed help from you. Not the issue of Cultist, since Peter has that figured out, or the Mystruims that Mystero has placed around the city that Miles took care of. When where you needed since then."
Y/N stayed silent. He racked through his head any kind of arguement that he could rebuttal the man's claim. Or any kind of excuse to defend himself.
But he was right. The city didn't need 3 Spider-Men. In reality, with how downhill everything has gone with crime, it only really needed one. Since he knew Peter wanted to retire to focus on his career and Miles would have free time for and during college, it seemed pointless for him to be Spider-man.
Nick notices the silence of the boy "Kid, listen. While I do not like the fact that he made me do this favor for him, Nezu has a point. With all that's happening, it would be a better opportunity for you to take his offer. For further training and to further your career."
Y/N sat back down as he rethought of his actions. In reality, when it came to school, he didnt have much waiting for him here. Sure there were some cool dudes from school he would miss, but they weren't close. As for school, Y/N never really had plans for college. And while he's not the brightest, it's not like he had any restrictions keeping him here.
He has live here in New York all of his life, there was no need to leave unless it was due to vacation or evacuations.
For him, to go to U.A, it would be better for him in the long run. However, this kind of decision wouldn't affect just him.
"Let's say I accept, what about my mom and dad? Would they be coming with? I dont want to uproot their lives here just for me. I mean, while my dad isn't like Matt Murdock, his is still a good lawyer and my mom is a cool nurse." Y/N asks, looking at the man.
Nick puts his hand on his pocket and pulls out a smart phone. He sets on the table as he speaks "We have a backup for that. Thanks to Nezu pulling some strings, it would be possible to give your parents larger pay should they move. However there is one issue..."
He looks at Y/N "Its unlikely that they'll bite for such a thing. In order for this to work, you cannot hide the truth from them."
Y/N eyes widen "You mean..."
Nick nods "You have to tell them the truth of who you are. That you're Spider-man. Tell them that and the opportunity, these factors should allow you to head there."
Y/N looks down at the floor as that revelation hits his mind. He had always thought about telling his parents about what he does. There isnt a day where he doesn't like lying to them. However with what happened with the hunters. How they got hurt. He was afraid to tell them, fearing that they would hate him.
Nick stands from the table and begins to walk towards the exit "I hope you take time to consider this. Because the moment you do, it'll change everything."
He makes it to door and opens it. As he walks outside he turns to Y/N "You have 48 hours. This is mostly due to the fact that Nezu would need ample time to set everything on his end should you accept his offer. I'll return here in that time."
Nick closes the door, leaving the young hero alone in his room with his thoughts.
Y/N scoffs 'That guy must be insane, there is no way I would accept this.'
He grabs the disk device and begins to apply pressure, intending on crushing the thing and forgetting the entire situation. Before he could do any actual damage, the shine of the metal shows a reflection of his face.
He stops and thinks of recent events. How it wasnt him that saved the day when the symbiote corrupted him. While he never intended for his actions to go that far, and the others knew that it wasnt his fault, the problem is that he didnt anything to help either.
Because he was too weak, he couldn't protect them and put their lives in harm's way. He relied too much on the suit and the power it gave him that he didnt see the red flags from it. He trusted it more than his own mentors. Maybe...
Y/N goes up to his room and grabs his web shooters. He grabs his phone and sends a text to Miles and Peter.
Newbie: Hey guys, can you meet me at the Chrysler Building? We need to talk.
Y/N goes to grab his suit and put it on, when he stopped. He doesn't know why, but his mind was telling him to not put it on. Still you never know.
He enters his closet and grabs a random box and a hoodie. He throws his suit in there, then quickly puts the hoodie on. Creating a makeshift strap, he connects the box to it and puts it on his back. He covers his face with the hood before jumping out his window and begins to swing to his destination.
Flashback ends
Y/N sighs as he watches over the city. A city that was peaceful once again.
No symbiote. No hunters. No chaos or death of any kind. It was quiet. Such a thing that Y/N wish that had been here when Kraven was around.
Now the silence was just another reminder that he wasn't needed. Not really if he were to think about it.
His thoughts are interrupted when he hears the familiar sounds of a pair of webs being shot sticking close to him. He turns as he hears a thud and sees his mentors in their costumes.
"Hey we got here quickly. You having any trouble? Are you sick?!" Miles panic as he lands in a huff.
Y/N raises an eyebrow "I'm fine man. What's got you freaking out?"
Peter pipes up "This guy is stressing out because he's going to graduate soon. I recognize the signs, MJ and I were like that."
Miles turns to the his teacher "But you havent experience a Latina mother trying to make sure your presentable. Do you know how many suits she's had me try out? It's kinda a big deal since she is a chairwoman now."
Peter nods "That's a very valid point."
He then turns to Y/N "So why did you call us here?"
The young teen turns to the pair and shows them the disk he had seen earlier. He tosses it to Peter, who brings it closer to him with his web.
"What do you guys know of U.A?" the young teen asks the pair.
Peter eyes lenses narrow as he squints at the object before tossing it at Miles to check it out. He answers "To my knowledge a very popular Hero School in Japan. Not only does the school host the Sports Festival, an event that's practically global, but so many great heroes came from there. You heard of All Might?"
Y/N nods. Who hasn't heard of Japan's Number 1 Hero? From the rumors he heard, the man single handedly stop anarchy and chaos on the street and brought down the crime of the entire state down to zero. To pull such a feat on a city alone is already impressive, but for an entire nation, its legendary.
Miles continues off Peter's sentence as he inspect the device further "He's one of those great heroes. Anyone who has ever wanted to be like him would always try to go to U.A. I heard some of my classmates talk about it when they were old enough for the entrance exams."
Y/N raises an eyebrow "Entrance exam?"
Peter continues off "Long story short, it's a test to see if you even qualify to be there. They don't just take anyone."
Miles quickly tosses the device back to Y/N who catches it.
Peter looks at the teen "Why bring this up?"
Y/N sighs as he sits down "Someone from SHIELD came to my home today-"
Peter eyes widen as he quickly sits next go him "SHIELD?! What the hell is Nick trying to do?!"
Y/N looks at him surprised "You know Nick Fury?"
Peter nods "Yeah. I've met him a couple of times during my early years of Spider-man. While I can't say I agree with his methods, I can say for certain he does the right thing. However like I said, I don't like his methods."
Y/N looks back at Miles "Did you know about SHIELD as well?"
Miles sits down with the pair "No personal experience myself, however Pete has mentioned it to me. The reason we never got tell you was mostly due to us being busy with Kraven and his "hunt"."
Y/N looks down processing this information. Peter looks at him "What does SHIELD have have to do with U.A?"
Y/N looks at the pair as he explained "The principle caught wind of us..."
Y/N would continue to explain what had happened with Fury. How he had returned home. How Fury was waiting (He didnt mention the corn dog). How Nezu had used a favor that he had from Nick to make contact with him and offer a spot at his school. Everything, he didnt hold anything back.
The more experienced heroes sat quietly as the heard this story, not even speaking until their friend was done.
Once Y/N had finished, Miles spoke "Wow that was an interesting event that happened."
Y/N nods "Yeah it was."
Miles sighs "Who does this Nick or Nezu guy think he is? As if Y/N would actually consider going?"
Both Peter and Y/N stay silent. It worried Miles as he let out a small chuckle "You're not considering going...right?"
Y/N looks at Miles "I am."
Miles stands up abruptly "What?!?! Why?"
Y/N stares back at the ground "I can't explain it-"
"Bullshit! Come on man! You don't need those guys! You can become a great hero with us! Like how we learned! On the book!" Miles shouts.
Y/N is taken aback by this sudden agression "Look its complicated-"
"No it's not! Come on! You don't need some Hero scho-"
"MILES!" Peter shouts at the teen.
Both Y/N and Miles are shocked af this. They've never seen Peter raise his voice at them.
Peter gestures Miles to sit, who does, still surprised at his teachers sudden showing of agression. Peter then turns to Y/N "Try to explain please? Take your time."
Y/N nods slowly, still a little nervous swallows his spit before speaking "Pete, when the symbiote took over, I was of no help for most of that situation. I was useless. I only really retuned because of you and Miles saving me."
Miles pipes up "But you saved that girl and her mother!"
Y/N glares at him "Which they wouldnt have been in trouble had we not fought in that area. And had it not been for me being tempted by the suit, we wouldnt have even fought."
Peter speaks "Y/N, that could have happened to anyone-"
Y/N snaps "But It Happened To Me! We Can't Change That!"
Now it was Peter to be stunned as the boy continued "Look around the city!"
He gestures to the view that they had. The noises of cars, chatting, and even a few honks here and there entered their ears.
"That is the sound of Peace! A peace where we are not needed. Will crime happen, naturally, but right now, its peaceful." Y/N continues as he looks back down.
"But it's not just this. The suit revealed so much about myself."
He looked up at Peter, tears in his eyes "Do you remember the night that Kraven stabbed my heart, before I spared him. Do you remember what he said about killing villians."
Peter slowly nods. It was something that he could never forget.
"A never ending hunt of the same prey over and over again! In reality, I did all of you a favor!"
Those words haunt Peter as it was one of the many times where the other side made a point. A point that dared to question not just his morals, but his Uncle Ben and Aunt May's. A good point that could be used to argue against him.
Y/N continues "I found myself agreeing with him."
Peter and Miles stay silent hearing this. Both of them understood fully of how he felt. Peter with his uncle's killer and Dr. Octavius. Miles with Martin Lee.
"As the suit continued to corrupt me, it made me happy that Shocker, Scorpion, Vulture, and Electro were killed. Even now, I'm not missing them. They deserved what happened to them after all the chaos they caused. The pain and death!" Y/N sobs out as tears fall from his face.
All Peter and Miles could do was embrace him. This was something that he shouldnt have been facing at such a young age.
Sure both Miles and Peter have experienced the same kind of moral dilemma before, but they had time to adjust to it. Meanwhile Y/N hadn't even had enough time to get people to acknowledge him as a Spider-man.
Y/N continues as tears fall "I don't want to think like that, but I do...ever since Venom, I'm happy that their gone..."
Miles speaks up "Y/N it's ok to feel this way."
Peter lets go "He's right. I was the same way once everything calmed down. Because of them being gone and crime being at an all time low, I can actually have a career that isnt me being in tights."
Miles lets go as both he and Y/N look at Peter "However, while we can be happy, we must never forgot what was loss as well. They could have been redeemed. Such as the prowler..."
Miles smiles hearing that.
"...Or even Black Cat. Y/N there is nothing wrong with feeling like that, but you have to remember that while they were Villians. They were human."
Y/N stays quiet as he looks down at his hands, clenching them and opening them repeatedly.
Miles notices a look on how face "There's more isn't there."
Y/N slowly nods. He takes a deep breathe, closes his eyes and clears his throat "With all that's going to be happening in your lives, Peter with the foundation and you Miles going to college in all that, I still need more training, more practice. But further more, I'm not ready to be Spider-man."
He looks at his hands again "I need a chance to see what kind of hero I can be. I don't believe that I've earned the title yet."
He then sets his sight on the pair "U.A may be a opportunity for me to grow and understand myself more. Maybe I am worthy of the title and it could be a waste. Maybe I'm not and this journey could be worth it."
His eyes harden as they are filled with a look they recognize with not just each other, but with MJ, Yuri, Black Cat, Silver Sable, and everyone else they've worked with. Determination
"I have to do this."
Peter stays silent being asking "Even if your parents know."
Y/N makes eye contact with him "Especially when they know..."
Peter looks surprised at Y/N. This is one of the few times in his life where he has seen the teen fired up. The only thing he can compare this to was his first time swinging.
Peter smiles and looks at Miles "Well what do you think? Do you think New York would mind our young spider friend here going to Japan?"
Miles looks at Peter, feeling a little unsure of this entire situation before sighing "It'll be quiet, but it's not the first time where a spider was gone."
Y/N eyes widen "What does this mean?"
Peter smiles under his mask "While I do not personally agree with how those schools and hero laws work over there, if you believe if you have to go over there, I will not stop you. I will support you."
Miles steps up "So will I man. Besides with things being quiet, I think you deserve a bit of a break."
Y/N tears up again before hugging the two tightly. Both Peter and Miles are surprised by the sudden action that both of them had to use their powers to stick to the floor.
Quickly letting go, Y/N grabs the box with his costume and hands it to Peter "Here, I don't think they'll let me take this to U.A."
The older hero opens it and looks surpised at it. He looks at Miles as they do a silent agreement. Y/N notices this and pays it no mind.
He quickly turns and goes to the edge of the building.
Before he could leap, he hears Peter's voice "Hey Y/N!"
The teen turn to his mentor "Tell us when you leave, We want to say goodbye."
Y/N nods as he wipes his tears "You got it man!"
He then drops off the building, quickly swinging back to his apartment.
Peter and Miles look down at the costume given to them.
Miles pipes up "You know, he could use a new look."
Peter smiles "Yeah, let's make it a farewell gift. To the foundation we go!"
As the two Spider-Men swing off into the same direction, a dark skinned with short black hair wearing a uniform is using Binoculars to watch the trio conversation and departure.
She quickly gets on a radio "Director Fury, its Agent Hill reporting."
The voice on the other end responds "Go ahead."
The agent chuckles "Looks like your contact is going to get what he wants."
The female could hear her boss scoff on the other line as he speaks "I hate it when the rat is right. Alright, we'll continued as planned. You're relieved from your duty today, go explore the city. We leave in a few weeks anyway.""
The agent smirks "I plan to sir. Over and Out."
She pulls out a pair of sunglasses "Let's hope the helicarrier doesn't crazy again without me."
2 days Later
"Hey Y/N did you get the mail?" a female voice asks from the kitchen as Y/N is watching T.V.
He turns to look at the woman "Yeah I left it on the counter, by the oranges!"
The woman turns and goes over to the oranges and sees a single envelope. She picks it up and flips it over and grimaces "Oh great, it's another ad."
Y/N gets curious and goes over "Oh really, for what?"
The woman smiles as she shows him "A special sale for winter coats."
Y/N smirks "In this weather?"
The woman shrugs "Who knows, maybe there will be a villain with ice powers that will make a city an ice globe."
Y/N rolls his eyes "That sounds like a shitty villain Mom."
She smacks the boys arm "Hey! Language young man. You're lucky your father isn't here."
Y/N got snobby "Who do you think taught me?"
His mother proceeds to grab a spoon "Don't make me hit you with this wooden spoon."
Y/N laughs as he puts his hands up in a mock surrender "Fine! Fine, you win. I'll watch the language."
A knock is heard from the door "Can you get that Y/N, it's probably your father with the chicken."
Y/N nods as he walks to the door, before his mother continues speaking "I haven't heard any news from that new Spider-man. I hope he's ok."
Y/N stops as is he surprised by the sudden question "Wh- what, why would you say that?"
His mother sighs "He seemed like a sweet kid, I havent heard much since the accident at the hospital. I hope he isn't blaming himself for it."
"LANGUAGE!!!"
Y/N sat on the couch nervously as his parents stared daggers at him.
Y/N opens to door to be greeted by his Father "Hey Y/N..."
Y/N quickly noticed how his father seemed nervous before he notices another figure behind his dad.
His eye widen when his eyes make contact with the man's single eye. Nick Fury.
"We have a guest that's has some question for you..."
"Fuuuuuuuck..."
"LANGUAGE!!!"
Y/N sat on the couch nervously as his parents stared daggers at him as he sits in between them.
He nervously coughs as Nick sits and drinks a cup of coffee given to him by the L/N parents "This is a wonderful cup. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality."
Y/N's mom stops glaring at her son to acknowledge Nick's kind word "Oh it was no issue. You were a surpised guest and we weren't expecting you. It's the least that we can do"
She chilling looks back at her boy "Especially when asking for my son."
Y/N can feel his soul begin to leak from his body 'why does she wanna murder me...'
His savior came in the form of his father as he coughs "Honey before we jump the gun, let's hear what the man has to say. Let's give our son the benefit of the doubt."
Y/N looks at his dad with comical tears falling from his face "You're my hero dad!"
His father smiles and closes his eyes as he puts his hand on his son's shoulder "Oh don't be mistaken...
His father opens his eyes to reveal a bright purple glow from them "If it turns out you did do something wrong...well let's just say you're really in for it..."
Y/N comical tears fall harder 'What did I do to deserve the THIRD DEGREE?!?!"
Nick smirks seeing the outcome play in front of him 'As entertaining as this was, I'm going to need to step in to save him.'
Nick coughs, catching the attention of the two parents, who's dangerous aura immediately vanished as their son looked petrified "I wouldn't worry about your son's well being."
Y/N loses his petrified look at he looks nervous for a moment 'Wait a minute. Nick is with an agency, so how is he going to explain the fact that of why he's here?"
He got his answer very quickly.
"I work with the school board as a scout of sorts, looking for students who may have potential to transfer to more prestigious schools." Nick explains.
Y/N mentally gasps 'Oh ok, I guess he's just that spy then.'
Y/N father tilts his head "Prestigious schools? Like Brooklyn Visions?"
Nick shakes his head "Sort of. I work more of an International Division..."
He goes into his jacket and an envelope. He slides it over to Y/N parents to look over, as his father picks it up.
It was blank. Tearing it open, he looks inside and his eyes widen as he looks at the title of the paper inside "U.A Student Registration?!?!?"
Y/N mother eyes widen like dinner plates "U.A?!?!?!"
She suddenly grabs her son and begins to shake him back and forth "What Did You Do To Get Notice?!?!"
Her son being shook back and forth couldn't reply and only let out groans and moans of surprise as she was being a little too aggressive with the shaking.
Nick coughs to gain the attention of the trio, who quickly readjust themselves, except for Y/N, still feeling whiplash from the shaking "During my scouting, your son was one of many individuals at his school that I have reported to the U.A principal for the potential to join the academy. He is the only one that was chosen."
Y/N mother speaks up "How? I love my son, but he really isnt the brightest."
An metaphorical arrow stabs Y/N in the heart 'Thanks for having so much faith in me mom.' he mentally cries out sarcastically.
Nick smirks mentally before speaking "While the principle would appreciate good grade, in reality that's not what usually gets his attention. It's mostly by actions and morals that attract him, and it seems that your son has done just that. As of how, I do not know, but he did. You should be proud of him, he's a good kid."
Y/N father grabs his shoulder "Ha! I knew you were a chip off the old block!" This makes the young spider smile as he likes the compliments he is recieving.
His father then let's go and look at Nick semi-seriously "What about us though? Surely we'll be expected to go with him. Although funds will be an issue due to..."
He then looks at his wife, who looks back with a look that says 'We'll talk later.'
"Recent new bills." he finishes, making Y/N looked confused, however Nick knew what he meant.
"Of course. It is U.A after all, you wouldnt be the first foriegn family to have issues such as this. Depending on your child's decision, all that would need to be done is getting information from your employers and medical history, and the principle should be able to handle the rest." He answered.
Y/N's father narrows his eyes "How do we know this isnt some kind of scam or trick?"
Nick predicted this, so he pulls out a card "This is something that the U.A hands out to those who scout out potential students. It's an information card. You can verify it with your phone if you want."
Not taking the chances Y/N father grabs it from Nick's hands and quickly follows the instructions on it.
After about 10 minutes, he sighs "This is real."
He hands his wife his phone to look where the instructions took him. It was the official U.A website, what it had, what it's goals are, the different courses it had, and even a financial assistance page for many people; poor, rich, and even foreign in their case.
Nick nods "It's not my first rodeo, many parents were also skeptical about this. Just know that this is the real deal."
He then looks at Y/N "Assuming that he wants this."
Y/N mom looks at him "Well sweetie, what do you want?"
The teen looks at his mom then to his dad "Are you both ok with me choosing? I mean I thought you were going to be hesitant-"
His dad puts a hand on his back "Y/N, the school is amazing. It's great, safe, and overall an opportunity for you to embrace who you can become. However, sometimes an opportunity like that isn't for everyone. Sometimes to grow you need quiet."
Y/N mother puts a hand on his shoulder "Your father is right. This a choice that you must make. We're ok with it either way. No matter what you choose, we will still love the young man you are, and the man that you will become. It's a big opportunity, so I would say yes, but the choice is and always will be yours."
Y/N nods and looks down at his hands 'Its weird. Even though I gave my costume to Peter and already made my choice, it's still nerve wracking to answer this question.'
He looks Nick in his single eye "My answer is Yes. I will go to U.A."
Nick nods "Understood."
He turns to look at Y/N's father "Mr. L/N, just fill out and sign the paperwork there and I'll take it to U.A to be processed. After that, we will arrange for transportation to Japan and arrange a switch from your current jobs to one's near both a suitable apartment for you and U.A academy."
The teen's father nods he bring out the full paperwork and begins to scan it. Y/N notices his dad's eyes widen and reread the paperwork. He notices that he does it again and again.
He puts it down as he looks at the man "You might have given us the wrong papers to fill out, this is a registration for the hero course."
Nick shakes his head "No I'm not wrong."
He stands and walks to the door. Before making it, he says out loud to the trio "I'll give you 10 minutes of privacy."
He opens the door and exits, closing it behind him and waiting outside.
Y/N stands as he walks to where Nick was standing before.
His mom looks at him worried "Sweetie, what are you doing?"
Y/N looks at his parents in the eye "Something I should have done so long ago. When you were injured, when you got out, when it was just us. Something I've been hiding from you that I can no longer hide."
His father stands slowly "Son what's wrong?"
Y/N takes a deep breath 'Its Now or Never!'
He crouches and leaps upwards. Mid air he twists his body and sticks the ceiling "Mom you asked earlier about the Spider-man that was there the day you got hurt. I was there. I saw you help those people when the hunters shot out the harpoon. I was there, because you laughed at my joke. Because I am Spider-man."
His parents stay silent for a moment. Fear begins to grip the young man's mind as he stays in silent hoping for any kind of reaction. Hopefully positive, but he would understand the reaction if it was negative.
His mother suddenly let's out a small smile "Sweetie...we already knew."
...
"Huh?"
Y/N body suddenly unstick from the ceiling and crashes to the hard floor below.
Out of any reaction that he had imagined, this was not one of them. He had spent hours ever since his first meeting with Nick Fury planning on how to tell his parents of his secret. How to bring it up, how to exactly show and prove it if they were skeptical, and even how to escape if they got too mad at him.
Them already knowing ahead of time was not among any of the thought up preparations.
The teen stands up quickly "How?! I hid it so well?"
His mother gets up from her seat and walks up to her son as she cups his face "Sweetie. You know I love you. And just know that as long as I live, I will always love you as you're my baby no matter how big you get."
Y/N nods as best as he could, his face still being held by his mother "Y..Yes."
His mother continues "But you have to know this. I'm your mother and I still clean your room. You chose to hide your costume underneath the bed. That is a terrible spot."
His eyes blank out in pure shock 'I'm terrible at having a secret identity!'
His father decided to twist the metaphorical knife "It also doesn't help that you were never around when he was..."
Y/N feels a metaphorical anvil drop on him.
"...the fact that you two sound alike..."
Another one falls on him.
"...the fact that you started disappearing randomly after he first appeared..."
Another anvil fell.
"...The fact that you had "weird" reception when you were on your fights when we called..."
And another one fell on him.
"...and the fact that you suddenly bulked up. Although too be fair, I assumed it was a growth spurt, but it made more sense that it was your powers."
One last metaphorical anvil landed, mentally and emotionally breaking the young hero's spirit and pride as as his eyes stayed blank 'Peter...Miles...I failed you...'
Y/N shakes his head as he regains his senses as a thought enters his head. He looks at his mother "Wait, if that's the case, then why didn't both of you bring it up?"
His father takes a sip of his drink as he quickly sets it down "Your mother originally planned to. However she would have been aggressive with it..."
Flashback
"LET ME OUT HANK!!! I'M GOING TO HURT HIM!!!!" The angry voice of Y/N's mother is heard behind a door. That same door is barricaded by a shelf as Hank, Y/N's father is also using his body to block the door.
"Lucy! Relax! We can simply talk to him when he gets ho-"
He hears the sudden crack of wood as he looks at the shelf to see a fist coming out of it. He looks on as he sees the fist retreat not just through the shelf, but also the door itself as well. He peers through the hole to see the glowing yellow eyes of his wife and son's mother, looking through the hole
"I spent nearly 12 hours pushing that child out of this body and he goes and hides this from me! AND YOU TRY TO STOP ME!!"
The last thing Hank sees being going unconscious is the approaching fist of his wife.
Flashback ends
Y/N looks at his dad "Is that why there was a hole on the door that night? Is that why you had a bag of frozen peas to your face?"
His dad shudders at the memory "Yeah, sometimes I still have nightmares from it."
Y/N mom looks back "Oh come on, it wasn't that bad."
Both Y/N and his father sweat drop as the both share the same thought 'That's because you've never been on the other end of it!'
Y/N looks back at his mother "Well why did you stop after that? If I remember correctly, you didn't even bring up anything weird when I came home."
His mother sighs "It was a news report. When I finally escaped, I waited outside in the living room. Before all that had happened, your father was watching the news. One of the reports came on and reported on a assault that was stopped. She questioned the victim who said that you came in like a rocket, knocking anyone who got in your way back."
She smiles at her son "I always wondered if your father and I raised you right. Sure you did stupid thing, but I always wanted to know how you would be morally. So when I saw that report, I felt happy. I postponed our conversation to the next time you went out. Then another report came in. Another and another, until eventually, I decided to drop it."
She tears up "Sweetie, seeing those reports made me so proud of you. You didn't get anything in returned and yet you still stood there. It made me happy to see you fight for good, to not be behind a cell like so many crooks in the city."
Y/N looks at her "But you guys got hurt because I wasn't strong enough."
His father stands and walks to the pair "And we don't blame you. We know that you did everything in your power to stop him from hurting more people. We just got unlucky."
"The point is Y/N is that seeing what you do, well you made us really happy. We're proud of you." Y/N's mother says smiling, hugging her son. His father joins in, hugging his child.
Y/N eyes widen, before closing his eyes. He feels whole and happy hearing those words. He hugs them back, feeling his strength returning to him, although he didn't realize how drained it was.
Meanwhile outside the apartment, Nick hears the entire conversation in the room with a bug he left in the room. He smiles, happy to hear that in this situation, compared to all the heroes and monsters he's met and/or faced, this one had a happy path going for it.
2 Months Later
After that day, the L/N family prepared the remaining time they had left before they had to leave New York for Japan. Throughout the time since there, Y/N explained most of what had happened with Venom. He didn't feel comfortable yet telling them of it.
During this time as well, Nick would be sending more information of japan and U.A through the mail for the L/N to look over as the time to leave got closer. Weirdly enough after the filled out the registration forms, they never did make physical contact with Nick after that, which didn't bother Y/N as he was glad no one was going to hit him with surprise visits.
The L/N family used this time to study up on the Japanese language, which weirdly they took to heart quickly as they were surprisingly good at learning.
The day of their departure had arrived at that made it to the New York International Airport as the 3 had arrived with their luggage.
Once they enter through the entrance, 2 large men in black suits stop them. One of them went up to the family "Are you the L/Ns?"
His father step up in front to look at the man "Yes we are."
The man looks at his partner and nods before looking back at his family "I need you to follow us, your flight plans have changed."
The family follow the pair before they are taken through the airport and out on the runway. Getting out there, they see a small private jet waiting for them. The three members of their family stare in awe at the plane itself.
It wasn't anything too massive, it was a jet that looked like it had a lot of leg room to walk around. It was black with a blue accent on it that said OSCORP on the side.
Y/N's face of awe turns into a smile as he sees who were waiting for him at the plane. There near the stairs to enter was Peter, Miles, Harry, and MJ. As the family makes it to the plane, Harry gestures the two men that were with the family that they weren't needed
He walks up to the 4 "Guys what are you doing here?"
MJ smirks "Did you really think you could leave without saying goodbye?"
Y/N smiles "No, but I assumed you guys would be busy. You know with your jobs and all that."
MJ smiles "I still have loads of time before my deadline."
Miles speaks up "My classes don't start for another few hours. I'll make it on time."
Harry speaks up "Pete and I are the literal bosses of the foundation, plus we won't be needed for a minute, as they're aren't any projects that need to be done. Well there was one but..."
He turns to Peter and smiles "I'll let your teacher discuss that with you."
Y/N parents walk up to the group, with his mother greeting them "Hello there. Are these your "Partners"."
Y/N blushes "Mom!"
She laughs "I kid. Lucy L/N." she introduces herself to the group.
Her husband approaches them "Hank L/N." he greets them as well, shaking each of their hands.
The crew introduce themselves as Y/N speaks up "What's up with this plane?"
Harry smiles "Well considering the help that you've help us with-" he remembers that his parents are here "-With those experiments I mean."
Y/N raises is hand "No need, they know who I am."
Peter and Miles look shock "You told them!" His mentors both yell at him.
Y/N shakes his hand up "No! Well I mean yes, but-"
His mom interrupts him "I had found out early on. He's not a clean kid-"
"MOM!" he shouts blushing even harder.
She just laughs at her suns embarrassed look at she turns to her husband "Let's leave Y/N to say goodbye to his friends. In the meantime, let's see where we are putting our clothes."
She walks into the plane along with with her husband who looks at the group with a small wave "It was nice to meet you all."
As the parents walk into the plane, Miles makes comment "Yeah you're terrible at keeping a secret identity."
Y/N deadpans "I'm sorry, but aren't there like three people know who you are?"
Miles sweatdrops "Ok, fair point."
Peter pipes up "So this is it?"
Y/N smiles "Maybe, but who knows, I'll probably visit when I don't got school. Or the other way around if you got time."
His mentor smiles "Hehe, maybe."
MJ walks up to him "So you excited to go to a foriegn country?"
Y/N sighs "Naturally. However I'm more worried about being the kid with a terrible accent or being hard to understand."
Harry raises an eyebrow "Didn't you read those books MJ and I bought you?"
Y/N sheepishly smiles "I did, and of course I studied for it. However it's still nerve wracking you know?"
Mj nods "Yeah I do. I was the same way when Pete and I went to Symkaria. Only it was just for a story on the war effort there."
Y/N smiles "Yeah. Hey listen, thanks for the help you've given me since this I've been Spider-man, I know Peter would be in trouble if you weren't around."
"Hey I'm not that bad!" Peter exclaims.
MJ laughs "Its no issue. You started off the same way Peter did, a high school kid way over his head. It's nice to see that you're trying to become your own thing."
She then pulls out a book from her bag "And while you're doing your own thing, I hope you have time to look at this."
Y/N takes the book from her and opens it up "A Japan tour guide?"
She sheepishly chuckles "Yeah. I know the rules will be different, but I know how much you love to swing around the city and all that. Should you get the opportunity, I thought there were some things you can take a look at, just to explore."
The teen smiles as he closes the book "Thanks MJ. This will come in handy."
He then walks over to Harry "Hey listen, I appreciate what you did, but you didn't have to do this for me."
The older man laughs "I do though. Because of you, not only did you get an alien off my body, but you gave me a second chance at life."
He looks at his friends, before gesturing Y/N to walk away from them for privacy. They go on the other side of the plane to talk "I'm going to tell you the truth. When you wore that suit, I was pissed at you."
Y/N raises an eyebrow "Why was that?"
Harry sighs "I thought that you were keeping it on purpose. At the time, you were a complete stranger and I didn't know what you'd be willing do. Once Pete told me about what that suit was and what happened with Connors, I was relieved. Not just at the fact that it's off, but because Peter made a good choice in teaching you."
He looks over at his friend who was chatting with Miles and MJ "Sure I'll miss the super hero stuff, but all I really wanted was to be around Pete and MJ for a long time and because of you helping the doc out, I now have that chance."
He sticks a hand out to the teen "So consider this a thank you."
Y/N let's out a smile as he grabs Harry's hand and shakes it "Anytime Harry."
The teen tilts his head "How did you get a private jet for me though?"
Harry smiles "Even though my dad may soon no longer be mayor due to devil's breath, as his son, I was able to call in a couple favors."
The two begin to walk "Jeez you're a rich guy."
Harry laughs "Well what's the point of it if I can't show off?"
Y/N sighs "Fair point."
As the pair make their way back to the group, Peter asks "What was the secret conversation about?"
Harry smiles "I'll tell you later."
He then looks at MJ "Let's give the hero trio their space to talk."
MJ nods "Good idea."
The pair walk a fair distance away as Miles comments "That actually wasn't a bad name. Hero Trio. We could change the group chat name for that."
Peter scratches the back of his head "Yeah but let's not use that name in public, its a little embarrassing."
He then looks at Y/N "Especially since one of our trio won't be here to make it a trio."
Y/N gives of a sad smile "Yeah. Are you guys going to be ok?"
Miles nods "We should be. It isn't the first time. Plus like you mentioned, it's a lot quieter now."
Peter pipes up "Plus Yuri is looking into the Flame. It seemed like he escaped New York, but not before hitting an Oscorp transport train."
Y/N widen his eyes "What did he steal?"
Peter shrugs "I don't know. With the whole Kraven thing, Yuri managed to slip my grasp. The only reason I know she's looking for him was because when I got there, she was in danger. I got her out of it and knocked some sense back into her."
Y/N looks relieved but still worried "Just remember, if he does come back and you need help-"
Peter shakes his head "We'll handle it. Just focus on one thing for me."
Miles suddenly pipes up with a box in his hand "Make that three things."
Peter nods "Right. Three. First off, become the best version of yourself that you can be."
Miles speaks up "Second thing. Get a girlfriend, it sucks seeing you lonely.
Y/N mutters while looking deadpanned "I'm not that lonely-"
"You kind of are." Miles responds smirking.
"AND Thirdly!" Peter raises his voice.
He grabs the box from Miles and holds it out for Y/N "You do all of it in style."
Y/N takes the box "What's this?"
Peter smiles "It's a gift. When you gave us your suit, Miles and I figured you needed a new look. We both worked on the design of the look and we got one that we agreed on. When we got the design down, we both worked on separate things on it. I handled the tech."
Miles chimed in "I worked on the colors. Had to make sure that the suit was POPPIN!"
Y/N smiles as Peter continues on "Just remember that you're not going to have tech support, it'll be just you there. So we included a flash drive with tons of things. Way to upgrade the suit..."
Miles chimes in "...Quick repairs..."
"...How to remove stains..."
"...Glitches in the system..."
"...Also tips to get comfortable in tights. The hint comes in the secret usage of baby powder..."
Y/N smiles, looking down at the box. He was happy to receive a gift from them.
He hugs both his mentors as they continue talking "Thank you. Both of you for all you've done for me."
They both hug back. After the embrace the trio let's go as they hear the engine begin to start off.
Y/N looks at the plane and looks back at his mentors "Looks like this is it."
Peter responds "For now."
Miles pipes up "If you need any assistance, we're a call away. No matter how small or how big."
Y/N smiles at both of them "The same goes for me to both of you. If your in trouble, call me and I'll be there."
Both the heroes smile as Harry and MJ make their way back to the trio.
"Looks like it's time Spider Jr." Harry jokes.
Y/N laughs "Looks like you're right."
Y/N walks away and begins climbing the stairs into the private jet. Before he enters, he looks back at the four and waves them off "Sayonara."
Entering the jet, it's door closes as Y/N sits down near his parents. Putting the gifts down, he straps himself in along with his parents.
He looks out the window to see his 4 friends waving them off, as he waves back. It was going to be rough without them, but when has being Spider-man ever been easy for him.
The jet begins to move, starting off slow before accelerating. As the vehicle enters the sky, Y/N watches as his friends slowly smaller and smaller until they become specks.
He sighs, before accidentally knocking down the gifts he gotten.
His mother sees this and goes to grab them "I got it."
Hank sees this and gets concern "Hey Lucy. Be careful."
His wife rolls his eyes "Relax hun, it isnt all that..."
She stops looking at the gift that Peter and Miles gave Y/N "...Serious."
Y/N get concerned "Mom are you o-"
She let's out a squeal as she quickly picks up the book and stuffs the gift back into the box, quickly handing the teen the box "Try it on!"
Y/N is befuddled "Wha- now?!?!"
His mother looked him the eye "Yes now mister! There is a bathroom down there. Use it!
Y/N looks at his father for support. All the support that he does get is a shrug from his father 'What the hell dad?!?!'
He sighs before going up, leaving his book behind and taking the box with him to the restroom.
As he enters, his mother goes up to the pilot's "Hey, will it possible to not have someone come out to check on us for 10 minutes, my son is trying on some new clothes and he's shy."
The pilot smiles "Not a problem Miss. I'll let the stewardess know."
She closes the door behind them and sits down waiting for her son while her husband grabs the book her son got and looked through it.
After 3 minutes, her son stepped out the bathroom. Both her and his father looked on, their eyes widening in awe.
The suit shared the red color that Peter's had, along with the black spider lines on it. Below the shoulders, the arm sleeves were a very dark blue with the wrist having webcanisters on it. The hands having the fingers of the red with black lines. The pants were the same blue on the arms, having the red with black spider lines as its accents on it.
The main thing about about the suit was the symbol, like the arm sleeves and leggings, it shared the same dark blue color, with the spider legs going all the way from the chest, going around the torso and connecting with the symbol on the back.
The mask looked like Peter's classic look, however the lenses looked sharper, less friendly and more intimidating.
Both parents look in awe, as his father catches his breath "So how do it feel?"
Y/N stretches in the costume, getting a feel for it "It feels..."
He clenches his fist as he lets out a smirk from under his mask "...Sensational."
