21. Reunions and Realizations

At the UA Green Room, many of the girls were getting ready for the upcoming Beauty Pageant, including Nejire, Kendo and Rina. Each of them was getting fitted by their friends when an unpleasant classmate came in cackling like a maniac.

"Are you kidding, what are you wearing, Kendo!?" Monama shouted, the boy joined by his classmates Tetsutetsu, Awase and Franklin, each of them wearing costumes for their upcoming play.

"Whoa dang, you're looking good!" Tetsutetsu said.

"This is weird," Awase said.

"You girls are going to do great today," Franklin said.

"You three shouldn't just barge in," came the voice of Reiko Yanagi as she was helping Kendo. "She could have been getting dressed."

"This is nuts, hard to believe someone who sold her soul to violence could pull off a look like that!" Monama said, then turned to Rina. "Or better yet, a wild animal who tracks down helpless prey!"

"Wow..." Rina extended her psionic claws. "I think you actually want to die today."

"Easy Rina, don't let him get to you," Franklin urged.

"Honestly, I'm trying to figure out if he's giving out compliments or insults," Kendo said.

"Compliments!?" Monama asked. "Remember Kendo, I'm the one who entered you into the beauty pageant to begin with. I figured you were a shoe-in because of the fans you got from that commercial. If you win, Class B will be even more Plus Ultra than the losers in Class A! Plus, since you've been focusing on this, I haven't been getting smacked as much!"

"Well if I'm gonna compete, I'll at least aim for the top," Kendo said.

"Also, some of our friends are in Class A," Franklin brought up. "So don't call Mayday or Flurry losers. Or Tsu either for that matter."

"That extends to Kirishima and Deku as well," Rina said.

"Oh yes, of course you two would side with them!" Monama sadistically said. "You will forever be known as the Class B Traitors!"

"Whatever, I don't care about a class that will disband in like three years anyway," Rina said. "Me, Frankie, Mayday and Flurry have been friends much longer, and it's going to stay that way. We're like a pack of wolves, there's no bond more loyal than that!"

"It's a great bond too, I'm glad you have such good friends," Kendo said.

"Damn right, until then let's just go out there and do what we gotta do," Rina said. "This competition is mine to win after all."

"I'm with you Rina, but Itsuka may give you a run for your money," Franklin said.

"I appreciate that, Franklin," Kendo said. "I just might pull out the win."

"Hey, hold the phone, who says Kendo or Howlet have a chance?" Nejire asked. "It's still anyone's game after all."

"Nejire Hado!" Monama shouted.

"Uh...yes, it's Nejire," Franklin said. "Did you not notice her?"

Nejire excitedly approached her Class B opponents. "Won't this be fun!?"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it," Kendo said.

"Yeah, me too, sort of," Rina said. "I still can't believe my mom signed me up, she hated modeling that one time Rarity talked her into it."

"There's a difference between doing one show and turning it into a career," Franklin said. "I think your mom just didn't like the constant attention."

"Right, mom's better these days but at the time, she hated having so many people gawk at her," Rina said. "So long as this is a one time deal, I'm good."

"We'll make the best of it," Kendo said.

"It's totally going to be a super fun pageant!" Nejire happily insisted.

"Oh, bless your hearts," Came a voice. "How precious you think any of you stand a chance. Especially given that I am blessed with perfect beauty." A woman appeared dressed with exaggerated make-up. "See for yourself!"

"Bibime Kenrazaki!" Monama shouted.

Bibime let out a maniacal laughter, while the other girls just stared. Nejire seemed happy but was deeply determined. Kendo didn't seem bothered, and actually enjoyed the potential challenge. Rina however looked like she was ready to fight.

"Is this a girl fight or what?" Awase asked.

Meanwhile Mirio was being driven to UA via taxi, while looking at a pamphlet. "We're going to be there soon. And it looks like Class A's performance starts at 10:00am. After that is Class B's play. Then it's chow time and The Beauty Pageant." He looked to the back to see Eri, "I bet you're hyped to see Midoriya and Mayday, along with their cool dance moves!"

"Mmhmm," Eri replied with a nod.

Outside Peter was seen leading a group across the UA Campus, a smile very wide stretched across his face.

"I'm so glad you're all here, some of you already met a few but I really want to introduce you to the whole lot," Peter said as he led them toward the stage where the Class was going to perform. "They're getting ready for a concert, so some of them may not be able to talk now but I'll see who I can get."

At the concert hall, Jiro was seen testing everything to make sure it all worked, the girl looking very nervous for the coming show as Kaminari and Tokoyami looked on."

"I gotta make this look good," Jiro said, the girl frantically running around. "It has to be perfect."

"Easy Kyoka," Twilight urged from nearby. "Take some deep breaths, otherwise you're going to stress yourself out too much and blow it."

"She's absolutely right dear," Came another voice, that belonging to Twilight's friend Rarity. "Take it from me, I've had to do fashion shows and my nerves have unfortunately gotten the better of me, which resulted in a disaster."

"Yeah, you're right..." Jiro said. "Sorry, it's just that everyone's been practicing. Plus I am worried about one part of the show. Midoriya is supposed to do something incredible with Aoyama, but he's not here to help with the Crystal Ball part. Not to mention Flurry's not here either, I have no idea where she went."

"She's probably off exploring, she'll be back," Twilight said. "She wouldn't miss this."

"Hoo-Wee..." Came Applejack's voice as she walked in with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy right behind her. "Y'all kids are really hard at work, ain't ya?"

"Reminds us of Rainbow Rocks," Pinkie said. "Everyone remembers that, right?"

"Of course!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew in, catching Jiro's attention. "It was one of the best things we did as friends."

"Rainbow Dash, you're here!" Jiro said in relief. "I'm glad you could make it."

"Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world," Rainbow Dash said. "I've been looking forward to this for a month."

"That makes one of us," Jiro said.

"Huh? Wait, have you not been looking forward to your own concert?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, maybe a little...but honestly, I'm kind of nervous," Jiro admitted.

"Don't be, you're super talented," Rainbow Dash said. "If anyone can pull this off, it's you. I've heard your pipes, and you have an amazing voice, and you rock the bass. This concert is going to be Plus Ultra. Just believe in yourself."

"Easier said than done," Jiro replied. "How are you so good at keeping your nerves calm for performances like this?"

"Well for starters, it helps having good friends by your side," Rainbow Dash said as she gestured to her own. "They'll help you out when you're feeling nervous."

"So long as a certain someone is honest about being nervous," Applejack said. "Ah remember a certain girl letting her pride get in the way once or twice because she couldn't handle anyone seeing her weak."

"You're one to talk, aren't you the same girl who bucked an entire orchard alone just to prove that you can?" Rainbow Dash teased.

Pinkie Pie giggled at the fact, "That was so funny. Not Applejack getting overworked, but she was making funny noises like..." Pinkie began imitating her friend. "Woowoowoo!"

"Come dears, let us not delve into that," Rarity said. "We've all had our mishaps over the years after all."

"Fun mishaps," Rainbow Dash said.

"It's all part of the charm," Pinkie added. "Some of the best moments in life are the wacky ones."

"Wacky like you freaking out over Gummy's birthday party?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Pinkie awkwardly rubbed her head, "Not my best moment, and I do feel bad since you were setting up a surprise party for me. Ironic, I remember so many birthdays that I end up forgetting my own sometimes."

"You wouldn't be Pinkie Pie if you didn't do that," Came a familiar voice. Stepping toward the girls was their young friend, and a boy Twilight affectionately called her little brother. "Sup ladies?"

"SPIKE!" the girls shouted as they ran to pull the boy into a group hug, each of them happy to see him again.

"Whoa! Easy! One at a time!" Spike joked.

"Huh? Who's that?" Jiro asked.

"Beats me," Kaminari said, then noticed the main entrance. "He came with Spider-Man though."

"Spider-Man's here?" Jiro asked.

"He's not alone," Tokoyami said. "Something tells me we're about to meet some incredible company."

Peter stepped toward Spike and the girls, "What a reunion, The Mane Six of Ponyville and their Dragon friend."

"Dragon?" Jiro asked.

"Hi, my name's Spike," The boy introduced. "I got the power of a Dragon!"

Spike. His Quirk, Dragon. While maintaining a human form, Spike can alter his appearance to be dragon-like. Even in his human form, he can breathe fire, just at a smaller level.

"He must have a quirk similar to Ryukyu," Tokoyami theorized.

"Yeah, that makes sense," Jiro said.

"It's the reunion we've all been waiting for!" Rainbow Dash said as she gathered her friends around. "Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter and Magic. Mixed with a little Dragon Fire, and you get Equestria's Finest!"

"The Elements of Harmony," Spike said.

"Fabulous as always," Rarity said with a flip of her hair.

"Yay," Fluttershy softly cheered.

Jiro seemed confused by this, but oddly interested. "I feel like I'm seeing something epic, yet missing it."

"I wish Midoriya were here, we could use his geek out levels to gauge the awesomeness," Kaminari said.

"Whoa...no way," Came the voice of a blond woman as she walked toward the stage. "Wow, you weren't kidding Peter, they're actually doing a concert."

"Who's this?" Kaminari asked.

"This, my electric buddy, is Gwen Stacy," Peter introduced. "Ghost Spider."

"Sup?" Gwen greeted.

Gwen Stacy. Hero Name, Ghost Spider. Her quirk, Spider. She has basic spider abilities like many with this power.

"No way, Ghost Spider!?" Jiro asked as she leapt off the stage. "Dude, this is like, so rad. I don't think I've seen you without your mask before."

"I try to keep it on, unlike some heroes who leave it off ninety percent of the time," Gwen said.

"I'd hate to be some heroes," Peter quipped.

"It's all good Peter," Came the voice of a young man. "You got the looks to pull it off."

"Who is this?" Tokoyami asked.

"This is my sidekick, Miles Morales," Peter said. "Better known to the world as Kid Arachnid."

Miles Morales. Hero Name, Kid Arachnid. His quirk, Spider. Unlike the others, this spider has the ability to use electric webbing and turn invisible, in addition to his strength and speed.

"Ugh, I'm still stuck with that name," Miles said. "I'm not even a kid anymore."

"So? It still works," Peter said. "Besides, you're like twenty-four years old, you can pass for a kid."

"We could call you Thwippy like Mayday does," Gwen said. "Say, where is Mayday?"

"I saw her not too long ago," Pinkie said.

"She's probably waiting for Eri," Peter theorized.

"Uh, can we go back to the fact that we got Spider-Man and his team here?" Kaminari asked. "This is freaking awesome. Where's the rest of the class? They gotta see this!"

"Bakugo and Yao-Momo should be here soon to check their equipment," Jiro said. "Everyone else is in the back, practicing for their part. I know Ashido's giving some last minute dance practice lessons."

"Man, you're working hard? Huh Kyoka," Came Johnny's voice as he was joined by three others.

"Yeah, I am glad you're here though Johnny, I could use..." Jiro's eyes widened when she recognized Johnny's company. "Oh no freaking way."

"Dude...that's...that's..." Kaminari couldn't even get the words out.

"The Fantastic Four!" Tokoyami said.

Johnny was indeed standing with his sister, his brother-in-law , and his good friend.

"Surprised, aren't you?" Johnny said. "I got my family here."

"Greetings, it's good to see you all," the team leader introduced. "I am Doctor Reed Richards, pleasure to meet you all."

Reed Richards. Hero Name, Mister Fantastic. His quirk, elasticity. He can stretch any part of his anatomy, but his true skills lie in his genius intellect.

"I'm his wife, Susan Richards," Susan introduced. "It's nice to meet you all."

Susan Storm. Hero Name, The Invisible Woman. Her quirk, invisibility. She can make just about anything she wants invisible, especially herself. She is also capable of forming barriers.

"Name's Ben Grimm," The Thing said. "But something tells me you kids already know that."

Ben Grimm, Hero Name, The Thing. His quirk, rock. His skin is made of rock, with enhanced internal organs to support his structure. This grants him incredible strength and durability.

"Well kind of, you are famous around here," Jiro said.

"You flatter us," Reed said. "We may be considered pro heroes to the world, but here, we're just your classmate's family."

"Franklin doesn't go to their class," Johnny said. "He's in 1-B."

"He doesn't?" Reed asked. "I was under the impression that he was Mayday's classmate, and this is Mayday's class isn't it?"

"It is, but Mayday and Franklin don't go to the same class," Johnny said. "I can take you to see Franklin's classmates, but I figured we'd stop by and see some kids that I've been mentoring with Dash for the Work Study stuff."

"Right, now who's the poor sap that's under your wing?" Ben asked.

Johnny furrowed his brow at the man, "That would be Denki Kaminari." Johnny gestured to the electric user. "He goes by the name Chargebolt."

"The girl up there, the lead singer," Rainbow Dash interjected. "That's Kyoka Jiro, also under our mentorship. She goes by the name Earphone Jack."

"Man, this is so cool," Kaminari said. "Jiro, we're getting introduced to the Fantastic Four!"

"Yeah, I can see that," Jiro nervously said. "This is awesome, but nerve wracking."

"Do not be frazzled my dear," Reed insisted. "Like I said, here we're just another family for one of your peers."

"I still can't believe you got someone under your wing, Matchstick," Ben said. "I hope you're guiding him well."

"I'm doing fine, Ben," Johnny said.

"What are his powers anyway?" Reed asked.

"They're electric based, he can fire electricity," Johnny said. "He can cover his body with the stuff, similar to me with my fire. So my role here is to teach him control, and I think I do a damn good job of it."

"But...he may want another mentor..." Came a voice.

Kaminari seemed to recognize this voice, having only heard it in videos prior. Once he attached a face to it, he immediately lit up. "No...way..."

"Hey Cole, you're here to visit, not steal sidekicks," Peter said.

"Hey, Torch here called him electric," Cole said as he generated his own power. "So, needless to say, I'm a bit curious."

"Jiro...it's him!" Kaminari said.

"Him who?" Jiro asked.

"The Electric Conduit!" Kaminari said in disbelief. "Cole Macgrath!"

"Heard of me have you?" Cole asked. "I'm flattered."

Cole Macgrath. His quirk, Conduit-Electric. Cole can fire off and absorb electricity. He's even strong enough to generate lightning, however using too much power will drain him.

"I can't believe you're actually here!" Kaminari ran over to shake his hand. "I've heard so many things about you man! I always wanted to be cool like you are."

"Well you're in one of Japan's best schools for heroes, so you're on the right track," Cole said. "Spider-Man's told me about you, he says you have the drive, you just need a bit more of a push and you're on your way to becoming one of the best."

Kaminari turned his attention to Peter, "Yo, Spider-Man, you did me that favor?"

"Keep it formal," Peter pleaded. "And of course I did, I want to do what I can to help you kids grow. Cole's going to be in town for a few days, so if you want to train with him-"

"Dude, I will clear my schedule for this!" Kaminari said.

"Love the enthusiasm, but dial it back," Peter said. "Don't go all Izuku on us now."

"Izuku's the kid you're training, right?" Cole asked.

"Yeah, he doesn't seem to be here right now, but he'd want to meet you too," Peter said.

"I'm curious about the boy myself," Cole said.

"Thanks for hooking me up with this chance, Peter!" Kaminari said. "I owe you big time."

"You don't owe me anything," Peter said. "I owe Cole, but that's it."

"Hey come on, you're a good friend of mine," Cole said. "If anything, I owe you way more."

"I'm not keeping score," Peter said.

"Neither am I," Cole said.

Jiro gestured to a blonde girl in black clothes, "Who's she?"

Peter turned to see a girl gawking at the sights, "Kat! Over here!"

"Hm?" Kat walked over and waved at everyone. "Bonjour!"

"That was French, right?" Kaminari asked.

"Yeah, you'll have to pardon Kat," Cole said. "Her English and Japanese are a bit limited, but she can communicate."

"I can manage," Kat said, then turned to the others. "Hi, I am Kat. I am happy to meet you."

"Where she's from, folks call her The Gravity Queen," Peter said. "And boy, do I have stories for you."

"I look forward to talking with you all," Kat said. "It will be fun."

Kat, her quirk, Gravity Shift. With the assistance of her cat, Dusty, she can alter the gravity of herself and a short radius around her. She can make things light as the moon, or as heavy as Jupiter.

"Speaking of Gravity, I gotta introduce you to Ochako," Peter said. "You'll love her for sure."

"Is she another student of yours?" Cole asked. "I know you mentioned three."

"Yeah, her, Izuku and a girl named Tsuyu," Peter said. "But Ockaho's such a sweet girl. You'll love her."

"Hey I'm willing to speak to any of your students," Cole said. "Uh, so long as that student is bilingual. I'm not that confident about my Japanese. I'm lucky to be able to communicate with these kids."

"We've been taught English from an early age, it opens opportunities to work with America," Kaminari said.

"America is a country rich in superheroes, many of us aspire to work alongside greats like Captain America and Superman," Kaminari said. "Naturally we wish to learn English to achieve that."

"That's great, but I'll keep up my Japanese lessons," Cole said.

"As will I," Reed said. "You are kind enough to welcome us into your country, so to that I say..." Reed bowed to the kids. "Domo Arigato."

"Mr. Roboto," Peter quipped, earning a few glares. "What? He set me up and you all know it."

"Geez Peter, always with the jokes huh?" Came Amy's voice as she stepped in with Jill by her side.

"All these years and you're still the same goofball we know and love," Jill said.

"Amy's here!" Pinkie cheered. "And Jill too!'

"Pinkie Pie!" Amy ran to hug the girl. "I haven't seen you in so long!"

"Me neither!" Pinkie said. "How are things on Mobius?"

"Well...it's a long story," Amy said. "I'm just happy to see you here."

"Me too," Pinkie said. "Say, are you here alone? Or did you bring your friends?"

Amy confidently smirked at Pinkie Pie, "You know I would never go anywhere without my friends."

Stepping into view was a familiar twin-tailed fox, and the Mechanical Genius of Planet Mobius. "Hey everyone, Miles Prower here. To the UA students, you can call me Tails.

Miles "Tails" Prower. His quirk, Tails. Using his twin tails as a helicopter like propeller, he can achieve incredible speed and flight.

"Tails! You made it!" Twilight gleefully called.

"Is that a kitsune?" Tokoyami wondered.

"Hey Tails, good to see ya," Peter said. "Is Cream here?"

"I am," Cream said as she came into view alongside Leon and Chun-Li. "Hello UA!"

"It's nice to be back," Chun-Li said.

"Nice to have you back," Peter said. "You're just in time, the concert's starting soon."

"Concert sounds fun," Leon said.

"Tails! Is the coast clear!?" Came a voice.

"It's clear Tangle, there's nothing to worry about!" Tails said.

Seconds later, two girls had come into view. One Lemur, and one Wolf.

Tangle the Lemur. Her quirk, Stretchy Tail. This Lemus can stretch her tail for miles, but going overboard will cause her immense strain.

Whisper the Wolf. Quirkless. Using tech she can communicate with powerful little aliens called Wisps. She has access to amazing Wispons as well.

"Take it nice and slow, Whisper," Tangle said. "We're in unknown territory."

"Tangle, we were told that it's safe," Whisper said. She called to the back. "You may come in, Sally."

Next up was the one born into the Acorn Royal Family of Mobius, who took in the sights before her. "What a place."

Sally Acorn. Quirkless. Using her gymnast and martial arts skills, Sally can handle most foes. She is also highly intelligent and can operate complicated tech.

"Queen Sally," Peter jokingly bowed to the girl.

"Uh, hi Peter..." Sally said. The girl was clearly uncomfortable at the moment, something Tangle was quick to notice.

"Sally? What's wrong?" Tangle asked. "Do you need tea? Whisper! Where's the emergency tea!?"

"Please do not shout," Whisper scolded.

Peter knelt beside Amy, whispering to the girl, "Is she gonna be alright?"

"She should be," Amy said. "She just needs a break, she's been through a lot."

"Hey Sally! Glad you could make it," Johnny greeted as he took note of the two girls with her. "Is this your entire entourage?"

"I didn't want to bring too many, so a few of my Freedom Fighters are still back home," Sally explained. "They send their regards."

"Still, only Tangle and Whisper?" Johnny asked. "Usually you bring Antoine and Bunnie."

"They're needed back home," Tangle said.

"We couldn't even bring Knuckles," Tails said. "He can't afford to be away from the Master Emerald right now."

"Bummer, but it makes sense," Johnny said.

"So it's just us and..." Suddenly a gust of wind passed by as someone sped onto the stage. Everyone turned to the source, excited for who had finally returned to Earth.

"Such speed!" Tokoyami said.

"Radical," Jiro said.

"Badass!" Kaminari added.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, meet..." Johnny turned to the stage. "Sonic-"

"Mina Mongoose!" the girl greeted, much to everyone's surprise.

"...Mina!?" Johnny asked.

"Damn right it is!" Mina said as she flashed a peace sign.

Mina Mongoose. Her quirk, superspeed. While not as impressive as a select few Mobians, her speed is still no joke.

"Mina!? How did you get here!?" Tails asked.

"I followed you," Mina said.

"...Mina..." Sally grumbled in annoyance.

"Hey, Peter said there's a concert, I'm not passing that up!" Mina said. "I wanna see what's so great about these kids."

"Who is she exactly?" Kaminari asked.

"That's Mina Mongoose," Peter said. "Not sure if you remember what I said about her."

"Oh, singing my praises Peter?" Mina asked and winked at the hero. "You're so sweet."

"Yeah, he said you sang a song that nearly destroyed your world's government," Jiro said.

Mina furrowed her brow in annoyance, "That was one time. Geez, you get a few people into a frenzy and no one lets you forget."

"Mina, you nearly caused a riot," Amy reminded.

"Sounds like a typical concert," Leon said. "I can't wait to see you kids throw hands."

"They're not singing anything political," Peter reassured. "It's just a nice, fun song. Anyway Mina, just to remind you, I totally understood why you sang that song."

"That's good," Mina said. "And it all worked out, right Sal?"

"Yeah..." Sally said, not wishing to delve into this.

Johnny shook his head in disbelief, "That Mina Mongoose. She loves attention."

"She's not so bad," Came Sonic's voice, the hedgehog standing right beside Johnny, and surprising him.

"Sonic!?" Johnny asked. "Dude, where'd you come from?"

"The door," Sonic said, gesturing to the door behind him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Mobius's greatest adventurer," Peter said.

"And hero," Rainbow Dash added. "Our old buddy, Sonic!"

Sonic the Hedgehog. His quirk, Supersonic Speed. His speed transcends sound and light and is capable of many incredible feats beyond that.

"So, these are the kids that Amy mentioned?" Sonic asked as he glanced at Jiro, Tokoyami and Kaminari. "I kind of expected more."

"Me too," Came Chris Redfield's voice as he entered the room alongside a young woman.

"Hey Chris, glad you could make it," Peter said, then took note of the girl. "Well now, this is a nice bonus surprise."

"Hi..." The girl said.

"Sherry wanted to come by and see this girl you rescued," Chris said. "Claire would be here too if she could, but something came up on her end."

"That's a shame, I think Hawkeye's coming, I know he would have been happy to see Claire," Peter said.

"Black Widow's coming too, right?" Leon asked.

"That's what Tony said," Peter replied, then turned to the girl. "Still, good to see you Sherry."

"You too, Spider-Man," Sherry said.

Sherry Birkin. Her quirk, G. Not a natural born power, but contact with the G-Virus had given Sherry impressive healing abilities.

"Come to think of it, Leon," Twilight turned to the man. "Wasn't there another girl you rescued some time back? In South America?"

"You mean Manuela?" Leon asked.

"Yes, how is she doing?" Twilight asked.

"I haven't spoken to her in a while, but last I checked, she was doing fine," Leon said. "Poor girl went through her own share of heartache because of her father."

"Ugh...that detestable poor excuse of a human..." Chun-Li muttered.

"It's sweet that you keep in touch," Amy said. "This might sound silly, but sometimes I wish I could check in on that Flicky I rescued in Station Square."

"That's not silly, that's wholesome," Peter said. "Anyone who says otherwise deserves a kick in the balls."

"Dude, you're such a simp," Johnny said, earning Peter's glare. "But, even I'll admit that was impressive. I still to this day do not understand how that little bird could carry an Emerald twice the size of its body."

"Try not to question it," Peter said.

"Yo, Peter!" Came a woman's voice. Peter looked to the door and spotted another Equestrian. "It's been a while. You too, Twilight."

"Sunset Shimmer?" Peter asked.

The girl in question grinned from ear to ear, "That's right, it's me. You're not having a big party without the ultimate party girl, are you?"

"Of course not, Pinkie Pie's right there," Peter said as he gestured to the girl.

"...Still a smartass, huh?" Sunset asked.

"Smartass? She's literally the Party Girl of Equestria!" Peter said.

"Sunset..." Came a man's voice as he walked in from behind. The man was seen with a white gi and red bandana. "Behave yourself."

"Yeah," Came the voice of a man with a red gi. "Maintain that positive vibe."

"No way!" Kaminari asked. "Is that...Ryu and Ken!?"

"Got that right, they're my buddies," Sunset said. "Peter gave us an invite."

"He did?" Amy turned to Peter. "I thought you hated Sunset Shimmer?"

"I don't hate her, I just find her annoying," Peter said. "Also, I didn't invite her, she invited herself because I invited Ken."

"I invited Ryu, which Peter was cool with, then Sunset came along," Ken said.

"It's only natural, we're a trio," Sunset said. "Sunset and her Dragon Fist boys."

Sunset Shimmer. Her quirk, Magic. Simple magic on the outside, but Sunset also has the abilities to cross into another dimension if she really puts her mind into it.

Ryu. His quirk, Chi. His martial arts potential makes him one of the greatest warriors on Earth, and he uses it to dominate the World Warriors Tournament.

Ken Masters. His quirk, Chi. He too uses martial arts, but with a fierier blaze. He has an incredible rush down, and remarkable parrying skills.

"Wow Peter, you invited a lot of people," Jiro said.

"Of course he did," Wade said as he came in with Logan, Remy and Bobby. "It's a freaking party after all. The perfect time for fun cameos that are basically just here for fanservice and spamming the quirk introductions."

"Or, it's the good kind of cameo where their appearance means something," Pinkie said.

"Tch, we'll see about that," Wade joked. "All I know is, this is about how to Enter the Spider, instead we're getting the Raccoon City Heroes, alongside some Roses and Acorns."

"Don't worry, not like we need to know all the details and their backstories, they're just here for fun, and for guidance," Pinkie said.

"...What are they talking about?" Tokoyami asked.

"Hey Logan, did any of the X-Men come?" Peter asked.

"Only two could make it," Logan gestured to the door as both Cyclops and Jean Grey entered the room.

"Hi kids, good to see you again," Cyclops said.

"You've met them before?" Amy asked.

"Not formally, but we did run into them on I-Island over the summer," Jean confirmed.

"Was that when those terrorists showed up?" Leon asked.

"Yes," Cyclops confirmed. "It was quite an experience."

Wade looked very disappointed. "Oh come on, just them? Lame. Couldn't we get at least one more new X-Men guy? Like, it's the perfect crossover!"

Suddenly some blue smoke emerged beside Wade, as a familiar blue man made his presence known. "Good day my friend."

"WHOA!" Wade leapt back. "Wait...Nightcrawler!?"

"Kurt, you made it too!" Peter greeted.

"I am happy to be here among friends," Kurt said.

Kurt Wagner. Hero Name, Nightcrawler. His quirk, Teleportation. Kurt jumps through a pocket dimension to help him get from one place to another in an instant. However, he can only teleport a few miles at a time.

"Wow, so many X-Men," Kaminari said. "This is so awesome! You look so cool, dude!"

"Cool? Wow, I'm not used to that, but I appreciate it greatly," Kurt said.

"Come on, you've been called 'cool' before, stop being modest," Johnny said. "So, that's it on the X-Men?"

"Mostly," Kurt said. "Beast, Storm, Rouge and Jubilee expressed interest in coming, but could not make it. I did manage to talk one into coming with me however. She too us a UA Alumni."

"I sure am," Came a familiar voice. Instead of using the door however, this girl came through the wall, sporting a cheerful smile. "Peter, it's been a while!"

"Well what do you know?" Peter said as he turned around. "I'm glad you made it, Kitty."

Kitty Pride. Hero Name, Shadow Cat. Her quirk, Phasing. Kitty can faze through any object, and with concentration, can phase other objects or people with her.

"That's the girl who has the same powers as Togata, right?" Jiro asked.

"Yeah, she's a bit more enhanced, but with the same powers," Peter said. He took one last look around. "Man, this place is crowded."

"Sure is," Johnny said. "Man, this is one hell of a reunion. I didn't expect it to be here though. I figured something like this would be saved for the next Sports Festival."

"That would be ideal, but honestly, it's better to have this reunion now," Peter said. "Especially after everything these kids have been through."

"This country is in a bad situation right now," Twilight said. "Ever since All Might retired, crooks have gotten very daring. All these villain attacks ended up changing the lives of these students as well. It's the main reason Class 1-A wants to do a concert, to help cheer them up."

"It'd be great for all of you to meet these kids, there's a lot of talent here and they'd be happy to meet esteemed heroes," Peter said. "Some of you may find mentors, a few of these kids still need that type of leadership."

"Not just here," Twilight said. "Class 1-B has some talented youth as well. Make sure you give them a chance."

"Even if it means watching that silly play of theirs," Johnny said.

"Johnny!" Twilight scolded.

"Hey, even Franklin admitted it looked dumb," Johnny said. "It's written like some corny fan made crossover."

"Yeah, it's nowhere near as cool as this one," Wade said, then earned some strange looks.

"Never change, Wade," Peter said.

"Hey! Tiger!" Came a voice very familiar to Peter.

"Oh no way, is she here too?" Peter asked.

Standing at the door was the New York Fashion Designer and Journalist, Mary Jane Watson. "Looks like I hit the Jackpot of Superhero gatherings."

"MJ! You made it!" Peter greeted as the girl came inside. "Man, more people came than I expected. I didn't see you at the gate. How did you get here?"

"Tony Stark came over, along with Hawkeye and Black Widow," MJ said. "Tony would be in this gym, but that guy Seto Kaiba pulled him aside. I don't know where Hawkeye and Black Widow went."

"So Kaiba's here, likely with Bulma and Vegeta," Peter said.

"Gohan did mention that they were coming," Twilight said. "He's likely around here with his wife and father."

"Is Kori here too?" Amy asked.

"I hope so," Peter said. "She and Nightwing seemed interested in coming. But despite the invites I handed out, not everyone can make it."

"True, I invited Cloud but he's busy right now," Twilight said.

"I wanted Dante to come, but no luck," Sunset Shimmer said.

"I sent an invite to Paul and Law, but they couldn't make it either," Peter said.

"Aw, what a shame, I kind of miss Paul," Amy said. "But hey, did you get to invite any of our older Earth friends?"

"I called over a few, hopefully they can make it," Peter said.

"How do they get in exactly?" Jiro asked. "Was Aizawa really that cool with you bringing so many people over? Like I expected a few friends, but you invited an army."

"Maybe don't say 'army', you're going to worry one of the teachers," Peter said. "Aizawa's got those security robots everywhere."

"Remind me, who is Aizawa again?" Cole asked. "Is he the Principal?"

"No, the Principal is named Nezu, he's a little bear, mouse, whatever thing," Peter said. "He looks like a Mobian, but he was born on Earth."

"Aizawa is the Homeroom Teacher of Class 1-A," Twilight explained.

"Just a teacher?" Cole asked. "Wait, then why are you worried about him? Is he like the Principal's right hand?"

"Not exactly," Peter said. "When I talked to Nezu about inviting all of you, he was actually thrilled. He told me, The More the Merrier."

Amy scrunched her face, "Something about that saying really irks me."

"Aizawa is the one who actively fought against you all coming because he didn't see the point," Peter said. "Yes, the Principal does have final say, but Aizawa is a respected teacher and hero, so he has some influence. More than anything, I had to convince Aizawa you were all cool."

"Which is hard because that guy's impossible to read sometimes," Johnny said. "But honestly, given the fact that he lied to our faces once, at this point he's losing his pull."

"Wait, is this the teacher that lied about where Franklin was going for his Summer Training?" Susan asked.

"That's the one," Peter said.

Susan angrily clenched her fist, "I owe that guy my own talking to."

"Please do not do anything rash, dear," Reed urged.

"Point is that I got Aizawa to lighten up, but he did warn me not to go overboard with the invites," Peter said. "Obviously I did, but I really think it's important for all of you to be here. You can really brighten the day of a lot of kids here."

"We would be more than happy to," Cyclops said.

"Daddy!" Mayday came rushing into the gym. "I just saw Uncle Shining and Cadance, they're here with...whoa." Mayday took a second to take in the surroundings. So many people in one gym. "Dang, did you invite an army?"

"Not an army," Peter quickly shut down.

"Mayday!" Gwen called.

Mayday shrieked in excitement, "Gwen!" She ran over and glomped the older girl, nearly knocking her over. "You made it! I'm so freaking happy!"

"Same here kid!" Gwen said, rubbing Mayday's head a bit before placing her down. "Wow, have you gotten bigger since I last saw you?"

"It might be the muscles, I've been doing some intense training," Mayday said as she flexed her arm.

"You're really coming into your own, I'm so proud of you, kid," Gwen said as she rubbed Mayday's head.

"Thanks Gwen," Mayday took a second to notice Miles. "Hey, Thwippy!"

"Hey...you're still calling me that...great," Miles jokingly lamented. He then found himself in a hug. "Whoa, you've never hugged me."

"I kind of missed you," Mayday said as she pulled away. "Seems like only yesterday you were babysitting me."

"Yeah, I seem to recall you running around the room, and crawling up the walls," Miles said. "Like, geez kid, you were a bundle of energy."

"Sounds just like my daughter," Amy said.

"Hm?" Mayday turned to face the hedgehog, her mood dampening slightly. "Oh, you're back." She noticed the Princess not too far away. "And you brought Sally! Hey Sally!"

"Hi Mayday, wow you have grown," Sally said as Mayday gave her a quick hug.

"I sure have," Mayday pulled away. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, thanks," Sally said.

"Hi May," MJ said.

Mayday turned to the woman, her good mood beaming again, "Mary Jane!" She rushed over to hug her, nearly crushing the red head. "It's been too long! You never visit enough!"

"Whoa, easy Mayday," MJ said. "I'm not durable like your father is."

Mayday's eyes widened in embarrassment as she pulled away, "Right, sorry. Still, I'm so glad to see you again. That suit you made for me fits great by the way."

"I'm happy it does," MJ said. "Are you being a hero like you wanted to be?"

"Yeah...sort of," Mayday said as she sadly looked aside. "I still have a long way to go though."

"These things take time," MJ said as she rubbed Mayday's head. "Just keep pushing through, and soon you'll be a signing beacon of light for all the New York kids aspire for greatness, just like your father was."

"Yeah, I'll do it, for New York," Mayday said.

"Wow, nothing for your Uncle Spike?" the dragon man teased.

Mayday again felt her heart skip a beat. "SPIKE!" She rushed to hug him as well, "Geez, you never keep in touch with us!"

"I've been busy, sorry," Spike said as he returned the hug. "I'm happy to see you again."

Mayday looked around the room, amazed by who turned up, "The X-Men, The Freedom Fighters, The Fantastic Four, just a second ago I saw the Teen Titans too. This is a big turn out."

"Oh, so Kori did make it," Twilight said.

"Also, Teen Titans?" Leon asked. "Why do people still call them that? They're adults."

"Same reason people still call me 'Kid Arachnid'," Miles said.

"That's normal though, even people in their twenties can be called 'Kid'," Leon said.

"Well what if I turn fifty?" Miles asked.

"Then it will be awkward, but that's like thirty years away," Leon said.

Miles groaned in annoyance, "I tried to get Shadow Spider trending once, and it didn't work. Picking superhero names is tough. How did Nightwing manage his name change?"

"No one knew he was Robin once," Twilight said.

"Yeah, him as Nightwing came with a new look," Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe that's what you need. Right now you look like a skinnier version of Peter."

"Oh come on, I'm not skinny!" Miles said as he flexed his arms. "I bulked up!"

"If it makes you feel better Miles, you'll always be Thwippy to me," Mayday said.

"...How does that make me feel better!?" Miles asked in disbelief. "Thwippy's even worse!"

"Now, now, don't be like that, Thwippy," Gwen teased, much to Miles's annoyance.

"Okay, let's try to be nice," Peter said. "It's not easy when you have a superhero name that's similar to someone else's name. But Miles is trying and that's all that matters."

"Peter's right, today's about having fun, not being mean," Twilight said.

"Still, I do get why Miles...uh, can I call you that?" Jiro asked.

"Sure, it's my name after all," Miles said.

"Right, so I get why he's worried," Jiro said. "Living up to the legacy of a hero seems like a lot of work. It's my biggest fear in being a sidekick."

"You don't have anything to worry about," Rainbow Dash said. "You have more than enough potential to stand out on your own. That goes for Denki and Fumikage as well."

"Just try to be unique," Bobby said. "What hurts Miles is like what we said, he looks too much like Peter. Honestly Gwen goes through something similar."

"Are you talking about the Gwen here? Or my Gwen?" Wade asked.

"Huh? You don't have a Gwen," Bobby said.

"Sure I do, it's Gwenpool!" Wade said.

"...Who?" Bobby asked.

"You remember her, she's like Gwen Stacy, only Deadpool," Pinkie said. "But, she is not related to Gwen Stacy whatsoever, so don't let that confuse you."

"So...you do have a sidekick?" Jiro asked.

"Well, she's not officially my sidekick because she isn't licensed," Wade said. "And she didn't even try to use my name, that was the fault of a moron who worked on her costume."

"How?" Bobby asked.

"Well, her name is Gwendolyn Poole," Wade explained. "So some guy shortened it to Gwenpool, and she's stuck with that."

"But she loves superheroes, and collects a lot of comics," Pinkie said. "In a way, she reminds me of Izuku."

"Point is that after Pinkie and I got suspended, we returned to the west for a bit, then while cruising through the states, we ran into her," Wade said.

"She's a young college girl who's never had a real superhero education," Pinkie said.

"Or any at all, since she's in an American college," Wade said. "So I decided to take her under my wing."

"...So, when I gave you the invites...did you bring her too?" Peter asked.

"We wanted to," Pinkie said. "But since she's not licensed, nor is she officially working with superheroes, it'd be hard to bring her in."

"Isn't she your sidekick?" Jiro asked.

"Only off the books," Wade said. "Since our licenses are suspended, we legally can't hire any sidekicks. But, this girl has something special, and I wanted to nurture it."

"With any luck, she'll appear next season," Pinkie said.

"Next season?" Jiro asked.

"Yeah, we're in fall right now, and the next season is winter," Pinkie said.

"...Is this where Flurry got it from? She said the same thing to me about the Sports Festival," Mayday said, then pulled out her medal. "Which I won by the way."

"Mayday, if you keep bragging about that, you're going to sound like you peaked in High School," Peter said. "I don't want that for you."

"It's fine, I'll only do it until the next Sports Festival, and win that one too," Mayday said.

"Mayday, I love you, and I wish you all the best," Peter said. "But, remember that humility is a good thing."

"Yeah, so quit being a show-off," Bobby said.

Mayday glared at the ice user, "At least I can say I accomplished something on my own, all your accomplishments were being part of a team."

"Says the girl whose hero name is just a Gender Bent version of her dad's," Bobby said.

"Says the guy who needs his wife to remain relevant!" Mayday snapped back.

"Okay, enough!" Peter said. "Mayday, earlier you were saying something about your aunt and uncle?"

"Oh yeah, Shining Armor and Cadance are here with some armadillo and squirrel," Mayday said.

"Armadillo and Squirrel?" Peter asked. "Mighty and Ray?"

"Oh yeah, they wanted to tag along," Amy said. "I told them where to go when they were ready."

"Ugh, of all Mobians, you asked Mighty and Ray to come?" Wade asked.

Amy raised her eyebrow, "You say that like it's a bad thing."

"It is! Inviting them over Knuckles would be like...inviting Rebecca Chambers over Jill Valentine," Wade said. "Or inviting Sakura over Chun-Li!"

"What's wrong with Rebecca?" Chris asked.

"Or Sakura?" Ryu asked.

"Also, I invited Knuckles, but he's busy," Amy said. "Mighty and Ray are fine."

"Mighty and Ray are just discount versions of Sonic and Tails," Wade said, gesturing to the two.

"That's kind of harsh," Sonic said.

"Yeah, they're our friends," Tails said.

"Still random," Wade said.

Jiro seemed confused for a moment, then heard the door open.

"Okay everyone! Let's get to..." Mina Ashido's voice came to a halt when she noticed who was in the room. "WHOA!"

Behind Mina was the rest of Class A, each of them coming across the sight before them.

"Oh, you finally made it," Peter said.

"Tenya!" Pinkie greeted.

"Pinkie Pie! Deadpool!" Tenya ran over to the two as Pinkie caught him in a hug.

"I missed you so much!" Pinkie said. "I hope you've been keeping up with your studies."

"I have, I assure you," Tenya said as he pulled away before extending his hand. "Deadpool."

"Tenya, buddy!" Deadpool shook his head. "You missed my exhibition about my new sidekick."

"A new sidekick?" Tenya asked.

"It happened over the summer, after the Kamino Ward battle," Wade said. "I'll tell you all about her."

"I look forward to that," Tenya said.

Meanwhile Momo had gone to greet the Fantastic Four, "Doctor Richards, is a pleasure to see you again."

"The pleasure is all mine," Reed said. "How has your father been?"

"Quite well," Momo said. "I take it you've come to see your son?"

"Yes, we're very excited to see his progress," Susan said.

"He's a very talented boy, you should be honored," Momo said.

"OMG!" Toru ran over to the group as well. "Susan Storm! You are like, my idol!"

"Uh, is this an invisible girl?" Ben asked.

"Yeah, that's my hero name too," the girl replied. "My name is Toru Hagakure!"

"It's nice to meet you," Reed said. "Are you always invisible?"

"Yeah, sorry you can't see my face," Toru said.

Susan used her abilities to make Toru's head visible, the woman cracking a smile, "Aw, you're pretty."

"Oh my!" Momo said in disbelief. "Hagakure, is that you!?"

"Me what?" Toru asked, oblivious to being visible.

Momo created a mirror and showed the girl her face, taking her by surprise. "Whoa! How is this happening!?"

"Not only can I make myself and anything I see invisible, I can make invisible things visible," Susan explained. "I can turn Momo invisible if I so desired."

"That's amazing!" Toru said as Susan deactivated her power. "Also, was I really pretty? My hair looked kind of messy."

"You're fine," Susan said. "Shame your quirk keeps you invisible, hiding your pretty face from the world seems like the biggest injustice."

"Stop it, you're gonna make me blush," Toru said as she held her cheeks. "I can't believe Susan Storm complimented me!"

"The Fantastic Four are a nice bunch," Momo said.

"We're looking forward to your concert by the way," Ben said. "Knock them off their feet!"

"I will sir," Momo said.

Kirishima stood in awe before Ryu and Ken, "All my life, I strived to be the strong and manly guy you two are! I loved seeing your fights!"

"Big fan?" Ken asked.

"Yeah, between your World Warrior stuff, and the time you entered The King of Fighters Tournament!" Kirisihima said.

"Oh yeah, that's when I met Terry Bogard," Ken said.

"He's my friend's favorite," Kirishima gestured to Mina Ashido as she was seen talking to Mina Mongoose. "I think he's cool too."

"One day we'll introduce you to him," Ken said.

"He's a very formidable foe," Ryu said. "As are many that I have faced."

"I remember your fight with Sagat," Kirishima said. "That was legendary!"

"Yes...it also taught me a valuable lesson," Ryu said. "Victory without honor, is meaningless."

"Huh?" Kirishima asked.

"Part of fighting means never losing control of yourself, that is an essence of martial arts," Ryu said. "Strong muscles don't always win the day, a strong mind helps."

"Yes sir! I'll keep that in mind," Kirishima said as he mentally geeked out. "Ryu just gave me a fighting tip! Awesome!"

Meanwhile the two girls named Mina were taking time to get to know one another.

"So, Peter told me once that you stuck it to the man, is that true!?" Mina A asked.

"That's such a harsh thing to say, I just wanted to use my music to help my Kingdom," Mina M said. "But I guess I didn't do it properly. I actually ended up hurting a friend of mine."

"I still think it's admirable that you spoke up," Mina A said. "It takes a lot of bravery, and I totally dig that!"

"Well just remember, there are many ways to make a difference," Mina M said. "Just try to be cool about it. And when challenged, stand your ground. I was too apologetic when I thought I messed up, but what I needed to do was stick with it. Just do so respectfully, because you don't want to drive away your friends. And if they really are your friends, they'll listen to what you have to say."

"Yeah, totally," Mina A said. "So um...could I show you my dance moves? I want to be ready for the concert."

"Let's go somewhere private, come on," Mina M said as she led her fellow Mina away.

Ochako looked around in disbelief, amazed by all the heroes present. Two such that caught her eye were Gwen and Miles. "Hey! You two work with Peter, right!?"

"That's us," Gwen said.

"I'm Ochako Uraraka," the girl said as she bowed. "You must be Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales. I've seen you in pictures that Peter showed me."

"So you're Ochako," Miles said. "Peter's had a lot of nice things to say about you."

"Yeah, he says you're cute and bubbly, mixed with being a sweet little badass," Gwen said.

Ochako started frantically blushing, "Oh that Peter! He's way too nice sometimes!"

"Where's the other one? The one that's a frog?" Miles asked.

"Over there!" Ochako called out. "Tsu!? Where are you!?"

"Over here!" Tsuyu said as she hopped over.

"Gwen, Miles, meet Tsuyu Asui, Peter's other Work Study Intern," Ochako introduced.

"Wow, you're Peter's friends," Tsuyu bowed to the two. "It's nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all ours," Gwen said. "Peter's got a couple of cuties as sidekicks. He always manages to pull in girls."

"Yeah, so freaking lucky," Miles said. "He never taught me that secret."

"That's because Peter isn't aware of that ability half the time," Gwen said, gesturing to Peter as he was shown formally introducing Tokoyami to Nightcrawler. "He's just naturally charming."

"Yeah, he really is," Ochako said, then noticed another familiar face. "Hi Amy!'

"Ochako!" Amy pulled Sally over to the girl. "Meet a friend of mine, Sally Acorn. Sally, this is Ochako Uraraka, one of Peter's sidekicks."

"Hello," Sally greeted.

Ochako's eyes widened once again as her cheeks began to glow. "You're the Queen, aren't you?"

"Well, yeah..." Sally nervously said. "I am Royalty, but-"

"You're so beautiful!" Ochako said as she knelt before Sally.

"I'm...what?" Sally asked in surprise.

"I love your hair, it looks so silky," Ochako said. "And your eyes, they're so blue. You have beauty befitting Royalty."

"I...um...thank you," Sally said, trying to properly bow before the girl. "I appreciate your kindness."

"Try hugging her, you won't regret it," Amy said.

"Oh! May I?" Ochako asked.

"Uh, sure, if you'd like," Sally said.

Ochako pulled her into a hug, relishing the feeling, "Wow, so soft and cuddly."

"Aw, how cute," Amy said. "Why don't you get to know Sally a bit more. I think there's a lot you two could benefit from by getting to know one another."

"I'd love that," Ochako let Sally go. "You're friends with Peter, right?"

"Yeah, kind of," Sally said. "He kind of finds me annoying at times."

"Oh don't be like that," Amy said. "Peter loves you, he just wants you to stop stressing out."

"He shouldn't be talking since he stresses out a lot," Gwen said. "But that could be why he worries about you Queen Sally."

"You don't need to be formal," Sally insisted. "Anyway, I think this young lady here would rather meet someone more interesting."

"Come on Sally? Wouldn't you like to spend time with such a nice girl?" Amy said as she gestured to Ochako. "Doesn't her smile make your heart melt?"

"Amy, you're being too nice," Ochako said as she nervously rubbed her head.

"Or even Tsuyu Asui here," Amy gestured to the frog girl. "She's really nice too."

Sally took notice of Tsuyu, "Aw, you're so cute."

Tsuyu awkwardly turned away, "I never would have imagined a Queen would find me cute."

"Frogs and Royalty do go well together," Gwen said. "It reminds me of an old Fairy Tale."

"You mean The Princess and The Frog?" Tsuyu asked. "My mom read that book to me a lot. She even came up with her own version where the Princess was the Frog instead, probably so I could relate to her more. But I would relate regardless."

"That's adorable," Amy said. "I think we're all going to be best friends."

Ochako took notice of Tails, "Oh wow, that fox is adorable!"

"He's also got a super cool first name," Miles bragged, much to Gwen's annoyance.

"That's Miles Prower, but everyone calls him Tails," Amy said. "Go say hello."

"I will," Ochako ran over to greet Tails.

"Your friends are all cute," Tsuyu said as she looked around. "Especially that blue hedgehog. Is that your husband?"

"Yes, and he's amazing," Amy said as she happily glanced at Sonic while he spoke to Oujiro. "Our love perseveres, no matter how hard things get."

"He's a great guy..." Sally sadly said. She then felt Amy grab her hand, done in an effort to calm her, something that did not go unnoticed by Tsuyu as she began to wonder about some things.

Meanwhile Shoto was seen talking with Leon about some stuff. "How close are you with Spider-Man if I may ask?"

"We have a lot of respect for each other," Leon said. "We don't work together much, but he is the most reliable guy you can meet."

"He went through a lot of trouble it seems," Shoto said as he took a look around. "Gathering so many impressive heroes must have been hard."

"He says you could benefit from having us around," Leon said. "Honestly, most of us could benefit from seeing you. After all, you remind us why we fight."

"We do?" Shoto asked.

"We fight for the sake of the future, so kids like you can thrive," Leon said. "Now you're doing the same. It gives us a great feeling knowing that our actions have had a positive effect."

"I know what you mean," Shoto said as he recalled those Elementary School kids.

"Growing up, I wanted to be a hero like Captain America, or Superman," Leon said. "I was born quirkless, so I had to make do as a cop. Lucky me, my first day on the job had me working with Hawkeye and Black Widow. I can't tell if that day was lucky or unlucky given what I had to deal with. Honestly, I felt like crap at first because I couldn't save everyone I met."

"That's the hardest part for any hero," Shoto said.

"I kept trying though. I am grateful that I was able to at least help save Sherry Birkin," Leon said, gesturing to the girl as she spoke with Jiro. "I had to apply that same mindset to other girls I had to rescue. Girls like Manuela Hidalgo and Ashley Graham."

"Seems like you saved a lot of girls," Shoto said. "Like Spider-Man recently."

"I will always respect what he did for Eri, and it's a reminder of what a hero is," Leon said. "It's not just beating up bad guys, it's about rescuing people."

"Of course," Shoto said. "That is our journey."

Nearby Cole was demonstrating his abilities to Kaminari, "I think if you concentrate hard enough, you can fire a lot of electricity without frying your brain. But you need to go at an easy pace. It's like driving a car. You don't go from zero to a hundred, you start out slow and build up."

"Right," Kaminari said. "So I will be able to fire more at once?"

"It's all about being gradual," Cole said. "It took me a lot of practice to do what I do without getting drained. Later when we have time, I'll see if I can teach you some stuff I know."

"Man, you'd really do that?" Kaminari asked.

"I did tell Peter I would, besides I like the idea of being a mentor," Cole said. "Speaking of which, Kat."

"Hm?" Kat replied.

"Make sure you meet up with Ochako Uraraka, Peter wants to see if you can teach her anything as well," Cole said.

"Okay," Kat said.

"Uraraka is over there," Kaminari said, gesturing to the girl. "She's hugging that yellow fox."

"Looks like she met Tails," Cole said.

"This is too cool!" Kaminari turned his attention to the only student not talking to anyone. "Yo! Kacchan! Go meet a hero!"

"Pfft, I'll pass," Bakugo said.

"Uh, what's with him?" Cole asked.

"He's just the local grump," Kaminari said. "One of those guys who acts tough, but is really nice and kind deep down."

"What the hell did you call me!?" Bakugo shouted, getting the attention of a few heroes.

"And there's Katsuki," Johnny said.

"The kid you tried training before?" Susan asked.

"Yeah, ray of sunshine, isn't he?" Johnny joked.

"That boy sounds so angry," Amy said.

"He looks so antisocial too," Gwen said.

"Hey, Katsuki!" Peter called. "Come on, mingle with some of these guys, they might have something to teach you."

"Don't care, I came to practice, like the rest of you losers should be doing!" Bakugo said. "Or did you forget about your promise to the other students!?"

"...He's right," Jiro said, then turned back to Sherry. "I gotta get ready."

"Makes sense," Sherry said.

Ochako placed Tails down, "Sorry if I hugged too hard."

"I'm used to it," Tails said.

"Come on! We gotta get ready for the show!" Kirishima said.

Peter rolled his eyes at Bakugo's behavior, but understood his point, "Everyone else! Go explore the Campus a bit! I'll stay and make sure these kids prepare."

"Actually Peter, you should go see if you find Midoriya," Kirishima said. "He should be back soon but he's taking longer than I expected."

"It is weird..." Peter said. "I'll go look around then. Johnny and Dash will keep an eye on you kids."

"If you suck, I'm throwing tomatoes at you," Johnny said.

"Johnny! Not funny!" Susan scolded.

"Chill sis, it's a joke!" Johnny said. "These kids know that, right kids?"

"Right..." Jiro said, now feeling a bit nervous. "Come on, let's practice!"

Peter went outside, taking quick notice of Shining Armor and Cadance, the two speaking with Hawkeye and Black Widow. With them he spotted Mighty and Ray, hardly surprised to see them.

Not too far away, he spotted the Titans with Gohan, Videl and Goku. Surprisingly, Laura was seen with them, standing close to Raven.

He even spotted a familiar quartet of fighters, including a Japanese man with a Gi, a blond American with a leather jacket, his sister in a blue suit, and a Chinese girl wearing a culturally typical dress.

"There they all are," Peter looked around and saw something strange. From the corner he spotted what looked like a red fox walking along. "Is that...Fiona?"

Indeed the former traitor turned ally again, Fiona Fox, was seen carefully scoping the area as she headed off somewhere.

"Fiona!" Peter then started to feel strange, like a small echo buzzing around in his head. "My Spider Sense? It's not Fiona setting it off. But...it feels close by."

"Peter?" Twilight said, then spotted her brother. "Oh hey, it's Shining Armor and he's with Cadance."

"Something's wrong," Peter said.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Twilight asked.

Peter took a moment to focus on his Spider Sense, honing in on his worries. Both Izuku and Flurry flashed through his mind. "We gotta go."

"Go where?" Twilight asked.

"I think Izuku and Flurry are in trouble," Peter said as he led Twilight with him. "Come on, we gotta find out what's going on, before it gets this event cancelled."

"Peter, wait up!" Twilight said. She ran to catch up with her husband, but lamented not being able to speak with her brother right now. "I guess I'll see Shining Armor later."

Meanwhile in the Support Room, Mei was cleaning up her robot, getting it ready for the presentation.

"Hatsumei, you should probably clean yourself up in addition to that robot," Power Loader suggested.

"But this grease is just proof of my hard work!" Mei insisted, then turned to the side. "Isn't that right, Peni!?"

"Do what you want," Peni said as she moved some of her equipment. "I gotta go meet Peter, he's expecting some guests."

"Tony Stark perhaps?" Mei asked, the girl full of hope.

"Probably," Peni said. "Just try to look presentable at least."

"Sure thing, ma'am," Mei insisted.

"If you're expecting me to be with Peter," Tony's voice said as he entered the room. "You'd be mistaken."

"Tony?" Peni asked, taking Mei by surprise.

"Ah! It's Tony Stark!" Mei ran to the man. "Hi sir, remember me!? I'm Me Hatsumei!"

"Yeah, I remember you kid," Tony said as both Kaiba and Bulma entered the room, the two shortly followed by Vegeta and an apprentice of his in Medaka Kurokami. "Working hard?"

"Of course, only the best for UA!" Mei said.

"Such an excitable young girl," Bulma said.

"Yeah, too excitable," Kaiba said.

"Oh hush up, let her be happy," Bulma said.

Vegeta turned to Medaka, "Is this really a big part of the school?"

"Yeah, it's more than just hero courses," Medaka said. "With your daughter's intelligence, she may one day be able to come here for the Support Course."

"Interesting..." Vegeta said as he focused on the tech. "Not as advanced as Planet Vegeta, but it's close, and that's saying something. Earth is slowly evolving into a very elite civilization."

"It's a pleasure to see you, Tony Stark, but we're in the middle of preparations," Power Loader said. "We'd be more than happy to see you in attendance however."

"You can count on that, I look forward to seeing the future of science," Tony said. "Make me proud, kids!"

"I most definitely will!" Mei said as Tony left with the others.

In his office, All Might was seen glancing at a piece of paper as Midnight entered the room. "Good morning All Might. What do you have in your hand?"

"Hey Midnight," All Might greeted. "It's just a note from Midoriya."

"Permission to leave the campus, this morning?" Midnight asked.

"Yeah, he said he needed to buy a few things," All Might said. "So he went down the mountain this morning."

"But we're just about to get started," Midnight said. "I hope he's not doing anything too naughty."

Back at the Construction Site, Izuku and Flurry had rushed onto the elastic crane and launched themselves at the villainous duo of Gentle and La Brava.

"They're on our tail, Gentle!" La Brava said. "Come on, we'll use my quirk!"

"If possible La Brava, I'd like to save your quirk for when the situation becomes more dire," Gentle insisted.

"But at this rate, it's highly possible your plan will fail!" La Brava insisted.

"I am well aware," Gentle said as he came to a stop on the ground. "Our clever caper is now a race against the clock." He looked up to see the heroic duo coming in. "And they're fast!"

"Izuku, need me to fly you down?" Flurry asked.

"No, I can use his quirk," Izuku said.

"Huh?" Flurry replied.

"I knocked him off his trajectory, so he'd need to create more elastic air to land properly!" Izuku aimed toward one. "And one is above this tree!"

Izuku bounced off one as Gentle put up an elastic barrier. This allowed him to bounce beside Gentle, ready to fire off another Air Strike attack.

Gentle noticed and quickly put up a second barrier. Izuku took advantage of the distraction and fired an Air Strike off of Gentle's elastic barrier and hit the man on the sides.

"Gentle! Are you hurt!?" La Brava asked.

Suddenly Izuku had tackled both of them to the ground, keeping them detained. "That's it, I got you both! Stop resisting and give up!"

Flurry landed beside Izuku, seemingly proud of his work. "Wow, great job. You really turned Gentle Criminal's power against him."

Despite her own predicament, La Brava was still focused on Gentle, and worried for her partner in crime. "In the past, Gentle would have run away as soon as he was spotted. But his passion is getting him hurt. My poor Gentle. My darling Gentle."

It was Gentle who gave La Brava purpose in life, even when it seemed bleak. He took her in, and gave her the name she currently uses. A name as sweet as Honey.

"I'll hand you over to the police as soon as I can," Izuku said. "Don't try to fight back."

"Hey, why don't you let me take over," Flurry said as she knelt beside Izuku. "I might be able to calm them with my powers. Hopefully they're not mentally unstable or something."

Flurry first placed her hand on La Brava's back, trying to gauge her emotional standing. Suddenly La Brava was beaming as she looked at Gentle. Taking this as a good sign, Izuku carefully moved over so Flurry could place her hand on Gentle, which resulted in a smile of his own.

"I love you Gentle," La Brava said.

"And I you, my La Brava," Gentle replied.

"Don't get used to this feeling, it's only temporary," Flurry warned. "Once my magic wears off, you're going back to how you were."

"My dear girl, you aren't giving us feelings that don't exist," Gentle said. "You are merely empowering them."

"What are you even...huh?" Flurry noticed that some pink smoke was coming from Gentle. "Hey, what's going on!?"

"Flurry, get back!" Izuku quickly moved in to keep Gentle pinned, but his strength began dramatically increasing. "What's going on!?"

La Brava. Her Quirk, Love. When she professes her love to someone she has feelings for, she can temporarily power up the object of her affection. The deeper her love, the stronger the effect. In times of crisis, she can increase someone's strength tenfold.

"Apologies my dear lads," Gentle said, immediately bursting away and knocking the two back while taking La Brava in his arms. "I detest using brute force, so I usually edit out scenes of intense violence." He walked over Izuku. "So I suggest you take a quick nap." With one swift motion, he karate chopped Izuku's neck hard enough to seemingly knock him out.

"He really does hate this," La Brava said.

"Izuku!" Flurry called.

"My dear girl, I do apologize to you especially," Gentle said as he approached her. "The idea of harming a lady goes against my very being."

"Please forgive us," La Brava said.

Flurry got into a defensive stance, hoping to be able to fend her foes off. Before they could get close, Izuku weakly called out to them. "No..." The duo stopped in their tracks as Izuku continued. "I fought against stronger and faster people than you. And I beat them." Izuku glared at the two with a look that spooked both Gentle and La Brava as he aimed his Air Strike. "This isn't over, I haven't lost yet!"

"I love Izuku's persistence," Flurry mentally noted. "But wow, he sounds so confident too. This isn't hopeless desperation, he really believes he can stop this guy. If I weren't so smitten by someone else, I think I'd be in love with Izuku right now."

"Attention party people!" Present Mic called from the intercom. "Prep work is all done and it's time to rock! Let's get this party going! If you can hear my voice, get out there and have fun! Let me hear you make some noise!"

Meanwhile Hound Dog was still sniffing around the area, and picked up a curious scent, alerting him to potential trespassers.

"The UA School Festival...Starts...NOW!"

Izuku fired an Air Strike that barely missed Gentle.

"This is impossible, that was our last resort!" Gentle mentally commented as he left La Brava for the moment. "In the past, La Brava's quirk allowed us to escape together!"

Gentle dashed at Izuku, the boy ready to fight as well, "Why won't you give up already!?"

"Gentle...I'm sorry!" La Brava tearfully said. "It looks like...my love wasn't strong enough to help!"

"Don't be so certain La Brava! Your love will see us through," Gentle said as he generated some elastic air. "Gently Sandwich!" He slammed a bunch of air on Izuku's back and stood on top. "The thinner the sandwich, the more elegant it's considered. I do regret piling on so many layers, but it can't be helped. Sacrifices must be made."

"Izuku!" Flurry was about to run in to help, but La Brava stood in her way. "You again!?"

"I won't let you hurt Gentle!" La Brava warned. "I'll fight too if I have to!"

"No offense, but you don't look very strong, and I don't like hurting little girls," Flurry said.

"I guarantee that I'm older than you!" La Brava said.

"Flurry, don't worry!" Izuku called. "I got this!"

"I think not," Gentle said. "I will not allow my efforts to be in vain! I will achieve the dreams of my youth! And ensure that history remembers who I am!"

"You want to be remembered as a villain!?" Flurry asked. "I don't get guys like you. Why would you want to be remembered for being bad?"

"It's not about good and evil, it's about making a mark!" Gentle said. "My Dream is not only for myself, and if I do not want my name to fade away, I must persevere! My aims are not so trivial that I would abandon them! You are both UA students! You must understand how I feel! To yearn for a goal!"

Izuku then punched into the ground and tunneled around until he dug back up after Gentle. "I do! If you understand that then why would you target the School Festival!?" Izuku went for an attack that Gentle blocked. "Why would you destroy what we worked so hard for!?"

"Because there is no other way!" Gentle said as Izuku tackled him off the Elastic Sandwich.

"It's all just for your dream!? So nothing else matters!?" Izuku shouted. "You're going to ruin everything and take the happiness away from a little girl who can't even smile yet!"

Gentle flipped Izuku away as he created another rubber air platform. "I will, if that's what it takes to achieve my goal!"

The villain then started bouncing around elastic air platforms, hitting Izuku with strikes any chance he got.

"Gentle!" La Brava said in worry. "We use Lover Mode to escape, not fight! You're not even the violent type!"

"La Brava!" Flurry said, getting her attention. "That's what Gentle Criminal called you right!? What's going on!? How did he get so strong!?"

"It's my quirk," La Brava said. "The more I love Gentle, the stronger he becomes."

"Are you making fun of me now!?" Flurry asked as she generated some magic. "Don't you dare disrespect my culture!"

"I'm not! I'm telling the truth!" La Brava insisted. "My Quirk is powered by love."

"Look, I don't care what weird trick you used to power him up, but calling it 'Love' is disgraceful and embarrassing," Flurry said. "I'm sorry, but whatever little crush you have on that guy isn't going to magically make him stronger. Ironic that I say that since that's literally my power, but Love Magic is kind of an Equestrian thing."

"Why won't you believe me!?" La Brava asked.

"Because villains like you are incapable of understanding love!" Flurry shouted. "Who uses Love to commit crimes!? You're helping this creep ruin everything we worked so hard for just to be popular on the internet! What you're doing is selfish, and there's nothing selfish about love."

"When you love someone, you do anything for that person," La Brava said. "I love Gentle, because he gave me a purpose when I thought I didn't have one!"

"All he's going to do is get you arrested," Flurry said. "Some love life, you two really are just lamer versions of The Joker and Harley Quinn."

La Brava started to lose her patience and ran over to physically engage Flurry, "We are not!"

"Get off me!" Flurry threw La Brava aside, much to Gentle's concern.

"La Brava!" Izuku went for a strike that knocked Gentle against a tree, but he rebounded and went for another attack. "You can mock me and think that I am weak! But I do not care what you think! We will prevail!"

"I won't mock you..." Izuku said as he blocked Gentle's strike, the two struggling in place. "But I won't let you go to UA!"

"Defeat him!" La Brava called from the ground. "You have to!"

Suddenly Gentle's power began to grow as a powerful aura radiated off of him, much to Izuku's concern, "That girl's quirk! His power is increasing even more!" Izuku turned his attention to his classmate. "Flurry! That girl's increasing Gentle's power! I need you to incapacitate her!"

"You would be wise to not lay a finger on La Brava, young lady!" Gentle warned.

"Hey, girls like her a dime a dozen to creeps like you, aren't they?" Flurry said. "Then again if she can make you stronger with whatever power she has, I guess that's why you keep her around."

La Brava again tried to tackle Flurry as tears streamed down her eyes, "You be quiet! You don't know anything about love! You're just a shallow Princess!"

"Me!? Shallow!?" Flurry shouted in disbelief as she shoved La Brava back down. "You're the ones trying to ruin the Festival for some stupid internet video! Don't you ever call me shallow! Now how are you powering him up!?"

"I told you," La Brava ran back to tackle Flurry, nearly knocking her off balance. "It's Love! I Love Gentle! And he Loves me!"

"You're such a stupid girl!" Flurry kneed La Brava in the face, knocking her back down.

"La Brava!" Gentle wanted to help, but Izuku was powering up again, to which Gentle tried overpowering the boy. "Tell me! Why do you want to be a hero, lad!?"

"Because, I'm just like you Gentle," Izuku said as he powered up and fought back. "My dream isn't just my own anymore!" Izuku started remembering everyone who helped him get to where he was now. "I had a goal that my body wasn't made for. And at one point, I completely gave up on it. But for everyone who's cheered me on and for those who acknowledged me. I'll become a hero! People in this world are hurting, so I want to become someone..." Izuku powered up more to match Gentle in strength, as blood began dripping down his face, "Who shows them a Bright Future!"

"I see..." Gentle said, the man smiling a bit in acknowledgement, then immediately tossed Izuku aside.

"Izuku!" Flurry shouted in worry.

While she was distracted La Brava had pulled out her laptop and tried hacking the network. "If I can connect to UA's network using this special wireless connection, then I can deactivate their security system and we can get inside!"

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" Flurry shouted as she noticed La Brava. "You better be playing games on that thing because-"

In a desperate move, La Brava grabbed a nearby stick and whacked Flurry on the knee, causing her to shout out in pain. "I'm sorry that I have to do this!" La Brava grabbed Flurry by the temples and delivered a mighty headbutt to her face to knock her down.

"Flurry!" Izuku wanted to help but he still had Gentle to worry about as he continued fighting the villain.

La Brava turned back to her computer, seeing that she got an 'Access Denied' code. "The signal isn't strong enough here!" She picked up her laptop and began running closer to the school while using mud as makeshift camouflage. "I need to get closer! Anything to help Gentle!"

"La Brava! No! It's too dangerous!" Gentle worried.

"Flurry! You have to stop her!" Izuku called. "Don't let her get away!"

Flurry recovered from the headbutt, angry at the sight of blood that resulted from the move. "Dirty trick!" In her anger, Flurry wanted to chase her but immediately tripped due to the pain she felt. "My knee!" Flurry tried moving but found herself limping. "This can't be good! The concert! My dance practice! My moment!"

Flurry's eyes began to glow from a magical aura that was brought upon by her anger, something Gentle noticed and worried about. "What's that girl doing!?"

"Damn you! I'll get you for this!" Flurry shouted as she chased the girl through the forest. "I'll chase you to the ends of the Earth, La Brava! You won't escape my wrath!"

"Flurry! Don't overexert yourself!" Izuku warned, then took a knee strike from Gentle.

"Tell me boy, do you still think of me as an unworthy foe?" Gentle asked as he bounced around the forest. "I will throw away my pride! Honor! Everything to defeat you!" He dashed at Izuku once more. "Consider it a sign of respect, lad!"

La Brava ran up ahead, hoping to find a better signal. Unfortunately she spotted some trouble. Hound Dog was on his way over with an army of Ectoplasms. To make things worse, Peter and Twilight were among them, the two anxiously looking around for any sign of danger.

"No! They're coming!" La Brava backed up a bit. In doing so, she found herself in Flurry's grip as the girl grabbed her from behind.

"I got you!" Flurry shouted. "Just you wait, I'm not going to let you-"

"Put me down!" La Brava whacked Flurry in the face with her laptop and elbowed her in the stomach to get the girl to release her grip. "I don't have time for you!"

Flurry grabbed La Brava by her pigtails and pulled her in for a knee strike to her face. "Make time! Now tell me! How did you give Gentle Criminal that power!?"

"I told you, it's because I love him!" La Brava shouted.

"Don't bullshit me!" Flurry punched La Brava across the jaw. "Using love to commit crimes!? Are you out of your mind!? You expect me to believe anyone capable of love would break the law!? That's not love! Love is pure! It can't be tainted!"

"You're right, it can't be tainted," La Brava said, then took some mud and flung it at Flurry's face as she ran began to run back toward Gentle. "And nothing can taint my love for Gentle!"

"Oh...!" Flurry angrily wiped the mud off of her face as the pupils in her eyes began to dilate in fury, "You're really starting to piss me off!"

Just as Gentle was about to strike Izuku, the boy fired off a barrage of Air Strikes at his opponent. While Gentle was able to dodge most of the attacks, one managed to knock him off balance.

"Shoot Style..." Izuku charged up his Full Cowling and leapt at Gentle. "St. Louis...SMASH!"

With one fierce kick, Izuku managed to knock Gentle down hard to the ground, leaving him incapacitated.

Izuku landed beside the man, making sure he remained restrained. "You were my toughest opponent. Because you are someone I can understand."

"Gentle!" La Brava called as she returned to the scene of the fight. "There are heroes on the..."

She could see Gentle barely conscious as he uttered out one word to the girl, "Run..."

"No...Gentle..." La Brava's eyes began to tear up in worry. "That's it...there's nothing he can do. My quirk doesn't last and...and..." She ran over to the boy in a hurry. "No! Stop! Take your hands off of him! Let my Gentle go!" She began hitting Izuku on the arm, not that it hurt him or anything, but desperation kicked in for the girl. "Gentle poured his whole heart into this scheme! He even forgot to take his beloved tea breaks while he worked!"

"She's really choked up over this..." Izuku mentally noted. Despite this girl being an accomplice, seeing her in tears did nag at him. This wasn't a lackey helping a boss, this was a girl defending someone she loved.

"You want to create a bright future!?" La Brava cried as she kept hitting Izuku. "Can't you see that Gentle is my only light!? Don't take him from me please, I'll have nothing left!"

"Nothing!?" Flurry shouted as she limped over to the girl, still fuming at the sight of her rival. "Hey, come on, don't doubt yourself. Even Harley Quinn moved on from The Joker after a while...just move this so-called love of yours somewhere else."

"I told you...!" La Brava angrily turned to the girl. "I'm not like Harley-"

La Brava stopped the moment she saw a terrifying look on Flurry's face. Curiously, Flurry didn't look angry, rather she had no real emotion on her face at all. It was a seemingly blank stare with a quiet fury evident on her face as a shadow was cast over her eyes.

"Oh, don't stop now, you were still trying to bullshit me..." Flurry said with venom in her voice. "You actually believe that crooks can love! But I will admit, that was a riveting performance you put on, you almost made it seem like you gave a damn about this guy."

"I do!" La Brava said. "Maybe you're too immature to understand love but-"

Flurry grabbed La Brava by her shirt and pulled her in close, getting in the older yet smaller girl's face, "Don't you EVER lecture me about love! I know all about love! My mother's a Goddess on par with even Aphrodite herself! She knows love a hell of a lot better than some hussy like you!"

"Flurry, ease up," Izuku pleaded.

"Stay out of this Izuku!" Flurry warned as she aggressively threw La Brava aside. "I'm tired of fakes! I'm tired of this so-called kindness being used to justify cruelty! People think they can act how they want because they pretend to care! But in the end, every nutjob will justify his or her actions just to hide the insanity that lurks beneath!"

"Flurry! Please!" Izuku called.

"Now all of a sudden, I don't understand love!?" Flurry again glared at a now frightened La Brava as her eyes once again began to glow, only this time with a green color as a dark energy emitted from her. "The only way to maintain love in the world…is by purging all those who would threaten its beauty."

"No! This girl's lost it!" Gentle worried as he tried to move. "Please, don't harm her!"

"You be quiet, I don't listen to criminals," Flurry said as she generated some dark energy. "Now stay back while I teach your so-called girlfriend a lesson in love, and how much it can hurt."

"Flurry, please!" Izuku said, grabbing the girl by the wrist. "It's over, we won! Anything more would be cruelty."

Flurry glared back at Izuku, contemplating fighting him off. The look in her eyes was startling for Izuku. He could see the pure rage and anger. This was not the Flurry Heart he knew.

However, seeing the concerned look on his face made Flurry reconsider. Izuku wasn't just concerned, he was frightened. Despite that he still reached out to her to bring her back to her senses.

It didn't take Flurry long to realize what she was doing, and how far she nearly took things. She looked toward a terrified La Brava, seeing the tears in her eyes filled her with guilt. Even more when she saw just how terrified Gentle looked.

"I...I didn't mean..." Flurry looked like she was about to panic. "Sweet Celestia...what just happened to me!?"

"It's alright, I'm here for you," Izuku reassured as he held her hand.

"What have I done?" Flurry's eyes widened in horror. "What was that just now? I didn't feel like myself...I just..."

"It's alright," Izuku pulled the girl into a hug. "I've got you."

Flurry had no more words, just tears as she began to feel remorse for what she's nearly done. Terrible thoughts began to run through her mind, "I felt so angry, I...what if I took it too far? What if I...?"

Gentle remained injured on the ground, amazed by what happened, and relieved that Izuku had kept La Brava safe. "To go from so determined to so...dare I say, Gentle..." The man wished he had the strength to smile. "I don't know what is plaguing that other girl, perhaps she too has yet to truly understand this world, a blight I unfortunately relate to." Gentle experienced flashes throughout his life, how things were bad for him in school, his strained relationship with his parents, a terrible accident that left a hero injured. His life was an unfortunate string of bad luck, the only light being a girl who showed him admiration. "La Brava...I told you to run, knowing full well that you wouldn't. Because that is who you are."

Gentle remembered the day La Brava offered to be his assistant, an offer he hesitated to take her on.

"You can't help me!" Gentle said as he sat at a table, drinking tea. "That would make you an accomplice to my misdeeds."

"Yes, but...I've already committed plenty of crimes with my hacking," La Brava said. A cheerful smile graced her face, "It'll be fine Gentle, it's all worth it to be with you. I'm happy as long as I'm by your side."

As the heroes drew closer, Gentle continued to think things over, "Would you have found joy if you escaped alone? Would you have found a new life? No, I have no doubt you would have committed crimes far more heinous than we have. But, this is my fault, I brought you here. You do make me happy, but if the heroes catch me like this, it will be obvious you are my accomplice. Which means, I must cover my tracks, or at least make the crime a little less serious, for La Brava's sake."

La Brava tried to assist Gentle back onto his feet, "Come on, we can still escape while we have the opportunity!"

"Hey," Izuku got her attention. "Please, no more. Just turn yourself in and-"

Suddenly he and Flurry were knocked back by Gentle's Elastic Air, the man having used up the remainder of his power to do so.

"Don't come back, Izuku Midoriya, nor you Princess Flurry Heart," Gentle brought La Brava into a comforting hug, hoping to alleviate the girl's worries a bit. "For the sake of my darling's future. Still, I do appreciate the passion. Flurry Heart, you believe wholly in what you do, even if there is much more for you to learn. Izuku Midoriya, you protected all those you hold dear, and won. You should be proud of yourself, young boy."

"Hey buddy," Peter said, trying to get Gentle's attention. He was joined by Twilight, Hound Dog and Ectoplasm. "You alright there?"

"I'm afraid I took a tumble in the park," Gentle said. "UA, I am turning myself in."
