"GUGH!" Kamala complained, having just been hit in the gut for the third time in a row. "Contrasted by her gentle nature he said. She could hesitate to even throw a punch at you, he said." she started to say, only to be hit in her jaw as her opponent teleported once again. "Oh yeah! I can totally see what you mean Robbie! She's as harmless as a flower!"

After voicing her complaints, Kamala managed to notice a portal opening to her left. Thanks to her stretching abilities, the inhuman managed to leap a good ten or so meter away from her opponent. Preparing for combat, she saw Valerie step out of the portal, with something in hand.

"Is that a broomstick?!" Kamala asked.

"Y-Yeah?"

"Hey, what's the big idea?! That's cheating, isn't it?"

"Y-You can shape shift. And c-change sizes."

Just as the inhuman was about to try and reply to the comment given by the blue girl, she stopped. Trying to find a way to refute her claims. And she found none.

"... You know, I have nothing." the inhuman said, increasing the size of her hands and charging at Valerie.

She threw a barrage of right and left at the blue girl, all of them either avoided or deflected. One would assume that in theory, Kamala should have already beaten Valerie. She was stronger, had a more combat yet versatile set of powers and, although also not liking violence that much, was more willing to attack than the blue girl. Well, as it's currently being proven, theories are just that until they're proven in the practical side of things.

And boy, is the practical side of the match proving that Kamala was getting her inhumans behind thoroughly kicked.

Using the broomstick as if it were a two-handed sword, Valerie kept Kamala at bay. Swinging it everytime that Kamala's fists approached and using the fact that no one wants to be hit to her advantage to make the inhuman more hesitant in her movements. Kamala had already tried to communicate with Robbie, but it also proved to be difficult. Valerie was keeping her between the wall and the sword (or broomstick in this case), which made it hard for her to even speak to Robbie. Not like he was having any luck either, if the sounds of mayhem that she heard from her earpiece are any indication. Speaking of which, it seemed like Valerie heard something through hers. Nodding and making a sound of affirmation, she looked around the area in which they were standing and focused her sight on the old vehicles and the pile of trash that was near.

She started to lead the inhuman near to the pile of trash that overlooked an old school bus, tricking her into hitting it and dropping all of it on top of the bus. Once that was done, Valerie started to close the distance between the two of them. Kamala tried to attack once more, making use of her stretching abilities to increase her range of attacks. Yet, despite that Valerie either dodged or smacked her hands with her broomstick (which wasn't very pleasant for the inhuman girl). Once she was in front of her opponent, Valerie launched herself at Kamala. Tackling her through a portal that she created behind her and teleporting the two of them to the inside of the bus blocked with trash.

Kamala fell on her back, with Valerie on top of her. So in order to free herself from her assailant, she shrinked once more and got away from Valerie. Once she was a couple of meters away from Valerie, she returned to her normal size and enlarged her hands preparing for a battle… however, it never came to that.

When she got up, she saw that the Avengers' child was no longer inside the vehicle. What's worse, now that she took a look at the inside of the bus, she saw that most of the normal ways to exit it were all blocked by trash, that unable her to leave the vehicle for some time until she found a way to exit it.

… In other words, she fell right in the middle of a trap.

"Well, this won't look good in my Avengers résumé." Kamala said to herself. On the plus side, she could now contact Robbie. "Hey Robbie… how're you holding over there?" she asked, only to hear what seemed to be crashes, explosions and what else.

"This is a pain in the- GHA!" Robbie complained, apparently having been hit by Annie.

"Doesn't sound well."

"No shit, it doesn't." Robbie said, getting back his footing. " Wait a minute, why are you sounding so calm? Did you finally take Valerie down?"

"Yeaaaaah… about that… I kinda lost her."

"You what?!" Robbie exclaimed. "What do you mean you lost her?! And why don't you sound like you're chasing after her?!"

"Funny thing, hehe… I'm kinda stuck."

"... Say what?"

"I may or may not have gotten myself trapped inside of a bus that has all exits blocked by trash that I may or may not have dropped on it."

"... HOW DID THAT SH- ARGH! WOULD YOU KNOCK IT OFF?! I'M TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE!"

"Fear the spider of armageddon! Dread upon the sight of she who sorrows all hearts!" Annie said loudly, enough to be heard by Kamala on her earpiece.

After which, she swore she heard maniacal laughter coming from Annie. As well as Robbie saying something in what seemed to be spanish. She didn't know why, but it sounded like a bunch of swearing and other sorts of profanity.

She wasn't sure if to be either regretful or grateful to have not paid that much attention to spanish class.

"Ok, that happened… I know what you need to do. Get out of there and go to you know where. Got it?"

"You know where, got it… Umm, where was you know where?"

"You know. That thing I was talking about."

"Right… which was-"

"Khan!"

"You know where! Got it! I'm going there. The place that we-"

"Stop talking and do it already!" Robbie shouted, before resuming his fight with the spider totem.

"... He sounded cranky. We should probably go for a snack at the bending machine later." Kamala said, as she started to try and find a way out of her situation.

On another part of the junkyard, the hellfire boy and the totemic girl connected to the web of life and destiny kept on battling. Robbie seemingly tried to lead his opponent to a specific place as they were moving. Action that Annie took noticed and tried her best to avoid. In an exchange of blows, fire and miscellaneous stuff being thrown, the two teenagers kept on going with the strength that they still had. Annie herself could already be seen with a couple of bruises around her face and a few others hidden by her costume. Robbie was in a similar condition, although it was harder to notice in his skull-like appearance, which only showed the crack that Annie had caused. But even he could feel that once he turns back, he would probably have a black eye or something.

"Now, Robbie, it's rude to ignore such a beautiful maiden by talking on the phone. And here I thought you had class." Annie joked, faking being hurt.

"Can it, web for brains. I know what you're trying to do."

"And what would that be?"

"Please, I may not have a super computer for a brain, but I'm not some knucklehead idiot either. All that talking, you were giving instructions to Valerie in some sort of secret code, weren't you?" Robbie asked. "Just now, Kamala got herself trapped and instead of capturing her, Valerie ran away. And what you know it, it's already been more than nine minutes. What are the chances of her trapping my partner and making a run for the device after you said that opera crap?"

For a moment, there was a serious and somewhat stoic expression on the redhead. Which quickly turned into a grin. "Aren't you smarty pants? Good on you, sunny boy, it wouldn't be half the fun if you weren't."

"So, you think this is fun? I thought you would be taking this more seriously."

"Oh, I'm serious alright. But a little competition between friends doesn't hurt, does it?" Annie asked, shooting a web-pebble at Robbie, who easily deflected.

However, he failed to notice the one that was shot at his feet. Once he did, Annie took advantage of it and jumped away, no doubt to try and help Valerie. However, just when she was leaping away, Robbie wrapped his chain at her feet and pulled her towards him.

"Know what, Parker? It's about time you said shit that makes sense!" Robbie roared as he did his best to keep Annie from aiding Valerie.


"Why isn't Vector capturing that other girl?" asked the invisible student.

"She's probably on her way to help Parker beat that guy." Ejiro answered. "Not the manliest thing to do, but I guess it would be better to take out the other team's big gun."

"I don't think she plans on doing that." Denki said, pointing at his classmate running towards somewhere else.

"Why is she going to that crane?" asked Mineta, although soon he took notice of something that everyone seemed to have forgotten. "Oh wait, I just remembered! It's been more than nine minutes!"

"And why is- Oh, yeah! I forgot about that!" Uraraka said.

"So she's going after the device. Well, at least we know that someone has some initiative." Jiro said, although their teacher was soon about to correct them in that regard.

"While I'm sure that Va… I mean, V is capable of such a thing, this was not entirely her doing." he said, getting everyone's attention. "I just so happened to hear what they were saying and not surprisingly, it's in english. Which is why I'm not putting them on speaker, I believed that it could make it harder for you to watch the match while also trying to understand them. But it is noteworthy to inform you that young V only did that after young Parker said certain phrase."

"And what would that be?" asked the octopus-like student.

Instead of just telling them, All Might did something else. He pressed a button and soon, the phrase appeared on screen. Naturally, it was on english and most kids did not really understand it. Thankfully for them, there were some that had a certain degree of knowledge in the language.

"The show's not over until the fat lady sings." Todoroki translated to the rest of the class.

"An opera aficionado. Quite the refined taste, I must say." Aoyama said, with some acknowledgement.

"What fat lady? Parker looks perfectly fit." Mina said, not understanding quite well.

"It's a phrase commonly used to signal that one must not assume that something is over until it reaches a true end." Momo explained to her classmate.

"What does that have to do with anything?" the pink girl asked.

"You see, throughout the match, Parker has been using phrases like that every now and then. And while to many, it would seem that she was actually using some sort of secret code to signal her teammate to do certain things." All Might explained.

"That sounds like something that's super hard to do. Is that even necessary?" asked Uraraka.

"I believe so." Momo said, once more. "Obviously, if she were to have just told Vector to go after the device, it could have made their opponent act more aggressive. Making their trouble even more difficult. At least the use of secret coding could be seen as them trying to make sure that important information isn't getting leaked."

"Brains and brawns? Is there anything that girl can't do?" Hanta said.

"I can certainly think of a few things." Ida said, although he had to admit, she was quite resourceful.

"Hey, look! That class B girl just got out of the bus!" Shoji said, as they all saw, that not only was the girl able to free herself fairly quickly, but going in the same direction as their classmate.

"How does she know to go in that direction?" Ojiro asked, only to be answered by the boy whose head ressemble a raven.

"She was talking to her teammate. It is possible that he was the one to tell her." Tokoyami said. "So it seems that he's also more than great power."

Back on the battlefield, Valerie was being chased after her inhuman friend. Her stunt buyed her some time, but as it turned out, Kamala could be quite fast. She saw how not only was she able to reach her, but also passed her and threw a punch at her. She defended herself, using the broomstick to try and minimize the damage. It kind of worked since she wasn't that much in pain after receiving the attack, but her weapon ended up breaking apart to no one's surprise. Even still, she flew a couple of meters backwards.

Taking advantage of what had just happened, Kamala started to climb the crane, which was easier said than done. It was probably a medium size crane (or at least what she believed to be medium size), with the cab being around twenty or so meters from the ground. But since this was the first time she ever did something like this, Kamala was a little on edge. Especially since she also had to evade the web-lines that Annie had set. Once she arrived at the top, she started to look around, but found no signs of the device.

"What the?" Kamala questioned, not understanding what was going on. "Robbie, it's not on top of the crane!"

"What?! That can't be! Are you sure it's not there?"

"Robbie I'm telling you, it's not here. I don't know where it could be hidden and I know that I beat Valerie he-" Kamala was about to say, when she noticed through the corner of her eye, Valerie was running towards the exit with the device in hand. "How did she do that?!"

"What's going on?"

"Valerie has the device!" she said as she started to descend the crane. "I don't know how though. I'm sure that I got here before her and the traps were still here!"

"... Fuck, the crane was a trap!" Robbie cursed, irritated at being played. "They probably hid it somewhere closer to the ground and used the crane as a distraction since it was the more logical hidden spot for them to use!"

"Don't worry, I'm on my way!" Kamala exclaimed, having reached ground level and starting to run after the blue girl.


"Khan and Reyes just got played hard!" Tokage said, in admiration to what had just happened.

"They both knew that the crane would be easier to reach for someone with their abilities. It makes sense why Reyes and Khan would go there and their opponents were aware of it." Snipe said. "So they used that knowledge to cause a diversion and run away with the real device at hand. Quite the sharp girls."

"No kidding. Secret codes and complex schemes, those girls are becoming tougher by the second." Juzo said.

"Indeed, but both Reyes and Khan are more than capable of turning the tables." Monoma said.

Just then, they saw that Kamala not only got down from the crane, but started to engage in combat with Valerie. At the same time, Robbie started to push Annie in their battle. With only around three minutes until the match was over, they were all paying attention to what was more than obvious, the climax of it all.


"Embiggen!" Kamala shouted, launching a powerful large (literally) right hook at the pile of trash that Valerie was standing. Making the girl lose her footing and making her easy victim of another hit from the inhuman.

Valerie fell on her back, having dropped both the capture tape and the device to the ground. She was about to recover them both, but Kamala stretched her arms and recovered them before she could. After which, she stretched her right leg towards Valerie in an attempt to hit the blue girl. She dodged it, jumping into a portal and appearing in front of the inhuman. She tried to wrestle the device out of her hands, but had to jump away when she saw Khan trying to tie the tape around her.

"You're really good at this, you know?" Kamala said, complementing the blue girl.

"T-Thanks, y-you too."

"Look, we're both pretty tired and I'm sure that Robbie and Annie are probably trying to kill each other as of right now. So why-" Kamala was about to say, although she stopped when she was hit in her jaw. She accidently dropped the device, which was recovered by the blue girl, who had created a small portal next to her. "Did you just pull a Spot?"

"I-I think?"

"Okay, have to admit, you know you're stuff. Not many people remember him that much."

"D-Didn't he help around whe-" Valerie tried to say, but was hit by a fist that was as large as her upper body.

"He did and I had a feeling that you were going to try and correct me." Kamala said, jumping at the girl.

Meanwhile, not that far from there, Reyes and Parker were going at it. Robbie having just been hit by a kick in the jaw, courtesy of the spider-totem.

"Had enough?" Annie asked, looking at how Robbie got up, while rubbing his jaw.

"Thank you ma'am, may I have another?" Robbie joked.

"Ever the comedian, aren't you Reyes?"

"Someone has to tell the good jokes around."

"Very funny chum, but in case you haven't noticed. I'm not some jokester, I'm the whole circus!"

"That only makes you dumber." Robbie said. "Besides, my team has already won, so might as well give yourself already."

"Ok, funny man, you had your time but it's time to remind you that I'm the one that's supposed to tell the jokes. Especially the bad ones."

"Those are the only ones that you've told so far." Robbie quipped back. "Besides, haven't you noticed? We only have a minute or two left. Kamala has already gotten a hold of the device. So you can try and beat me, but by the time you do, our teachers would already declare us the winners."

"Yeah, right. Come on, Reyes, we both know that you're bluffing."

"Am I?" Robbie questioned. "You haven't heard from Valerie, have you? I, on the other hand, have just heard how Kamala has the device in hands."

Annie stared at Robbie, knowing that what he was saying was a ruse, it had to… But a feeling inside of her told her that, maybe he was right. Kamala was a more aggressive fighter than Valerie, so if she caught up to her, there is the chance that she could have overpower her. If that was the case, then she had to go make sure of it. Taking her hand to her ear, she tried to call her teammate, but had to quickly dodge Robbie's chains.

"Knew you were bluffing. And where are you aiming anyway?" Annie taunted, until her spider sense rang. Turning around, she saw that Robbie had embedded his chains in an oven and a pile of garbage.

"Let's just say, that karma is a bitch." he said, pulling on the two chains.

The oven flew straight towards her, which was easily dodged. However, the pile of trash that was about to fall on her did prove to be more difficult. She could have dodged it, if not for a fireball hitting her on the back. Being on the receiving end of the trash falling on top of her, she drugged herself out, thanking that most, if not all of it was just a bunch of collectibles, skillets and other kinds of junk like that. Did it hurt? Sure did, but at least she won't be needing to spend the next three hours washing the stink of her body and another eight washing it out of her costume.

Once she was picking herself up, Robbie tackled her to the ground. He quickly grabbed both of her arms and tied them behind her back with the capture tape. At the same time, while Kamala and Valerie were wrestling over control of the device, they ended up throwing it upwards. They saw it flying a good ten or so meters upwards before starting to fall away from them. The inhuman took that moment as an opportunity and thrusted her left arm towards Valerie. Enlarging it to the point that it encompassed her upper body and stretching it to the point that she pinned her against the side of a large metal container. She then stretched the other one to reach and catch the device that was about to hit the ground eight meters away from her.

And right afterwards, time ran out. And soon, their teacher's voice could be heard saying one thing.

"The hero team wins!"the voice of All Might and Snipe could be heard, signaling the end of the match.

Kamala sighed, before letting go of Valerie and helping her get up from the ground. "Remind me never to piss you off." she said, offering the blue girl her hand and still feeling sore from all the hits that she received.

Valerie blushed a little and smiled while taking Kamala's hand "O-Only if you remind me not to p-piss you off either." she said, as the inhuman pulled her up from the ground.

Meanwhile, not that far from them, Robbie was still pinning Annie in the ground. After their teachers announced his team as the victor, he decided to finally play Annie's game.

"Look on the bright side, I heard that prisoners in Japan get to eat grilled fish" he joked.

Annie smiled after hearing that before returning to character. "Curses! I would have gotten away with it if not for you, meddling heroes! And your stupid dog, too!"

The two chuckled and after freeing her from her bonds (which was not really necessary, since she could have easily broken free from them any second), the hellfire boy helped the spider-totem up and turned back to his human form. Once he did, he revealed the multiple bruises in his face. He had a broken leap just like Annie, which was thankfully not that serious, as well as a fairly large bruise where Annie had stroken. Not like she wasn't looking any better.

"You look like shit." he joked.

"Says the guy that looks like he just disobeyed the first two rules of fight club."

"That's not how it works and you know it." he replied. "Whatever, let's just get back to our class so that I can hear how I beat you."

"Please, you only won because of the time limit. I dare you to try that again in a no holds barred fight."

"Maybe I will… that is if your folks don't kill us once they see your face." he said, making Annie's eyes go wide as a plate.

"... Shoot, I'm going to be grounded until I'm Logan's age." she said, causing Robbie to chuckle. "That's without mentioning that I'm probably going to have to deal with Valerie having a heart attack once she sees us like this."

"Hey, having Spider-Man on my back is already bad enough. Don't make it worse by getting the Avengers involved too."

Just then, they managed to overhear their teammates calling for them. Turning around, thay saw that they looked fairly well, if only some dirt on their costumes, nothing to worry about. They seemed glad that it didn't take them long to find them, however, they froze when they saw the way they looked. They were aware that the two of them were probably more than willingly to hammer each other, but not to the extent in which they would look like a dog's chew toy.

"What the heck did you guys do to each other?!" Kamala asked, just as the pale Valerie fainted. "Valerie!"

Annie and Reyes flinched and quickly rushed to their friends' side.

After getting their friend back on her feet (and getting chewed by Kamala for either being reckless, or not understanding what the word moderation meant), the four Americans headed with their respective classes. On the way there, Kamala stopped at a bending machine and got a couple of snacks from them. She handed the more sweet candies and whatnot to her and Valerie, while Annie and Robbie got stuck with plain granola bars. It was her attempt at punishing them for beating each other so badly, but it turned on her when she learned that Robbie did not mind them at all and Annie had eaten so much allergen-free cakes and what other stuff growing up that she actually had a soft spot for those kinds of things.

Once they arrived with their respective classes, they were received in different ways. They were congratulated for their performance, mainly Valerie and Kamala, who didn't look that tough (especially the blue girl). Well, at least Annie and Robbie had something in common and that was the fact that some of their classmates went pale when they saw their faces. Although, there were some comments that praised Robbie, mainly from Tetsutetsu and Monoma. One claimed that he was a true man among the greatest of man, or something like that. Monoma said something about proving that they were better than the other class. Robbie didn't pay much attention, mainly because Kendo did him a solid and knocked him out.

In class A, Kirishima said something similar towards Annie.

"Parker, it doesn't matter if you lost, you just proved to be one of the manliest people that I have met! Those battle scars are just the prove of it!" he said, thrusting his fist in her direction. "I want you to spar with me later, is that clear?!" he asked, only to be smacked by Mina.

"Now's not the time! Look at her! That jerk went overboard on you! You're just a girl, he should have gone easy on you!"

"Yeah, we should get you to the infirmary now!" Uraraka said, worriedly followed by the other girls of the class (with the exclusion of Valerie).

"Wow, calm down guys. I'm fine, I heal fast. Besides, if he had gone easy on me, I would have pummel him twice as hard to the ground." Annie said.

"You're kidding, right?" Toru asked.

"I mean it. I can take a hit and dish out as much, he knows that. Besides, do you really think that the bad guys are gonna care what gender you are when they do bad guys stuff?"

"I-I have to agree with Annie there… but you two did go overboard on each other."

"You're telling us that he's also messed up?!" asked Mineta.

"T-That's why I faint."

"Of all the irresponsible things you could have done Parker! This was meant to be an exercise and you exceeded yourself in that fight!" Tenya barked.

"Nice to know that you care, Tenya." Annie said dryly.

"It's not a laughing matter! You almost started a scrimmage with Bakugo for the same thing that you just did!"

"Now hold on, glasses! My problem with Katsuki, was the fact that he could have ended his fight in an instant and instead of doing that, he sent Izuku to the infirmary out of spite! I tried to finish things quickly, it's not my fault that Robbie can keep up with me."

"Now, now, let's all calm down! Young Parker's right, in a fight against villains, they won't care about those sorts of details! To them, you'll be an obstacle to their endgames! You should defend yourself appropriately!... Although I must agree that you and young Reyes did exceed yourselfs a little." All might said, in his always up-beat tone.

"Yeah, that's fair."

"Well, then now that that's -cough-" All Might coughed a little, knowing that he wouldn't have much time in his muscle form. "... Sorry, my throat's a little dry at the moment. Where was I? Oh yeah! As much as I would love to go over this battle right now, I'm afraid that it's already getting fairly late! I'll have to trust Aizawa to go over the written report with you tomorrow!"

"I-I guess it makes sense." Valerie said.

"Alright!" All Might said, turning to Annie. "Young Parker! I must insist on you going to see Recovery Girl as soon as possible! Even if you heal fast, you should still make sure that there's nothing with your injuries! I'm sure that they're saying the same thing to young Reyes as we speak." he told her. "And it may as well save me from being chewed by your mother."

"Sure thing. Might as well check on Izuku while I'm there."

"Indeed! I'll see him afterwards, but for the moment I have to take care of some other business!" he told the class, although said business was having to go away and make sure not to reveal his true form to the students. "Well then, I must take my leave, but not before congratulating you all! We didn't have any major injuries outside of young Izuku and maybe young Parker! You all took your first training session very seriously!"

"To have a proper class after Aizawa-sensei… it's kind of anticlimactic." said Tsuyu, as most of the class agreed with her.

"We are all deserving of a proper class!" All Might told the students. "Now then, I must take my leave! Change to your uniforms and return to class!" he said, as he dashed away at super-speed.

"Awesome, even when he leaves he's so legendary!" Denki said.

"Why was he in such a hurry?" asked Ojiro.

"Maybe he needed to go to the bathroom." commented Annie, as most of the class turned to her. "... What? That's a perfect reason to be in a hurry, isn't it?"

"A-Annie, maybe you s-s-hould go to the nurse now." the embarrassed Valerie said.

"Yeah, maybe I should. Well, see you all later! I'm going to see if nothing's broken. Better not, I have to keep my good looks for the world to see!" Annie joked.

"D-Don't say that, you're scaring me." Valerie complained.

"Sorry, but you know what they say. Laughter is the best medicine!" she said as she left.

After a while, the others did the same. Heading to their respective changing rooms… With the exception of Valerie. She went to the changing rooms of class B. She didn't want to change in front of the other girls, but also not wanting to be alone. As they all did that, very few noticed that Bakugo was shaking a little bit.


"School year has just started and I already have to deal with a bunch of reckless kids!" complained a short elderly woman with a purple visor.

She was the well known youthful hero, recovery girl. After receiving both Parker and Reyes, she kissed the both of them in either the forehead or the cheek. Something that they did not expect. In an instant, their injuries mostly vanished, with their faces looking like nothing had happened. They were somewhat amazed, although they soon started to feel extremely tired.

"Why do I feel like a college student during finals?" asked Annie while yawning.

"It's my quirk. Healing takes energy, I just speed things up." she explained while taking a pair of candies and handing them to the two teenagers. "Make sure not to overdo it, it could be detrimental to your health in the long run."

"Like, we could die, detrimental?"

"Your words, not mine." the nurse replied to the boy, making the two gulp a little. "Well, at least your case wasn't anything serious." she said, while looking at the green-haired boy laying on a bed.

Annie and Robbie looked at the same place and the class A girl frowned. "Yeah, lucky us." she said, her expression more visible now that she didn't have her mask on. "How's he?"

"He's injuries couldn't be healed right away. I applied first aid, but… I'm going to have a serious talk with your teacher later on." she told the two.

"... Maybe you should." Annie said, much to the medic's surprise. "... Why are you looking at me like I just grew another head?"

"Nothing, it's just… I didn't expect that some kid your age would say that about All Might."

"The guy's a good hero and all, but it's kind of obvious that he's fairly new to the whole teacher stuff." she answered, making the old lady chuckle.

"It's pretty early in the year, but you may as well become my new favorite student. Not many are that smart." Recovery Girl complimented the redhead, making her smile. "Then again, I should expect that you would say that about All Might, since your father is Spider-Man." she said, making Annie feel like she just had a bucket of cold water drop on her.

"Could you not? I would rather keep quiet about that."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry. I know how to keep a secret." Recovery Girl reassured her. "After all, it wouldn't be wise to let your classmates know that you're the kid of the man known for hating All Might as much as he hated him."

"Wait what? My dad didn't hate All Might and I don't think that All Might hates my dad."

"You sure?" asked Robbie.

" Yeah!... maybe… seventy eight percent sure."

"Don't worry, I know that's not the case. It's just an old rumor brought by taking interviews out of context and the fact that a lot of the times they met, they ended up fighting each other." she told the girl, before turning to the boy. "Some of the faculty know about you, but I'm particularly curious. How's Stephen doing?" she asked, taking them by surprise.

"Umm, fine I guess. Last time I talked to him, he said that he was almost done with a project that he refused to tell me about."

"Figures, he was always so reserved."

"Excuse me, Recovery Girl. Are you by any chance acquainted with the Dr. Strange?" the New Yorker asked.

"Back in the day, he was still just Stephen to me. I actually taught him a thing or two about neurologic treatment." she revealed, taking the two by surprise.

"You kidding!" Robbie exclaimed.

"He attended a conference I did when he was just in his third semester of medical school. It's best for you to ask him later."

"I sure will." he answered.

"Well, you two are now ok. Go and finish your classes already. There's still a kid that needs to recover and you two making all this ruffus sure won't make that happen faster." she said, practically kicking them out of her office.

Once outside, the two looked at each other before shrugging it off. Then they headed to their classrooms where they were greeted by their peers… well, mainly Robbie. After school was over, class B offered to go celebrate Robbie's victory against class A (an idea that was proposed by Monoma, who got smacked by Kendo afterwards). Robbie wasn't sure at first, but decided to go for it after thinking about it a bit. Yu wanted him to be a little more social after all and he wanted to show Strange that he was more than capable of handling himself on his own. Kamala tagged along, after calling to inform Ms. Aikawa about it.

Back in class A, they saw that Annie was packing her stuff. Which did surprise them a little.

"Parker, aren't you going to wait for Deku-kun?" asked Uraraka.

"Who?"

"She's referring to Midoriya." answered Tenya.

"Sorry, no can't do. I have to do something at the moment. Besides, I saw him at the infirmary, he'll be fine."

"Don't you think it could wait? I'm sure it can't be that important." Mina asked.

"Look, I know you guys are worried, I am too. But I can't stick around today." she told them, only to see Katsuki standing up and about to leave. "But you sure as heck should stay." she said, mildly annoyed.

He turned and snarled at the American. "You don't get to tell me what to do, fucking Yankee."

"Izuku deserves an apology. You owe him that much."

"I don't owe anything to that quirkless bastard, you hear me?!" he said, much to her annoyance.

"You know what? Fine! Be that way!" she yelled at the boy. "But just so you know; that whole scary act you're trying to sell. I don't buy it. You're just a jerk that shouldn't even be standing in the same classroom as the rest!"

"Tsk, you don't know a damned thing about me!" he said, as he exited.

"Then, we're in the same boat." she said, ony to turn to Tenya, who was glaring at her. "Okay, now what?!"

"Could you not antagonise anyone for just five minutes?"

"This nonsense again? Why aren't you saying anything to that jerk instead of me?"

"I also find Bakugo's manners unfitting to the hero course, but what you're doing is not the correct way to handle things. We should talk to the teachers about these sorts of behaviors, not instigate more trouble."

"Well, until they start doing something about it, I'm going to keep him in line."

"By doing the same as him?" Tsuyu asked.

"I'm nothing like him!"

"You're also leaving without waiting for Midoriya. Just pointing that out." Denki said.

"Like I said, I have something to do, alright?"

"It can't be that important. Or at least not as important as confirming the well-being of a fellow classmate." Tenya said, much to her annoyance.

"As a matter of fact, it is! My mom is working, my sister is busy getting her hero license and because of that, I have to pick my little brother from daycare!" she said, much to their surprise.

"You have siblings?" asked Rikido.

"Yeah, an older sister and a baby brother. Now if you excuse me, I have to get going. Don't want to make Benjy wait for me." she said, getting up and walking to the door.

"What about your old man?" asked Todoroki, out of curiosity and stopping Annie in her tracks. "Can't he go get him?"

Valerie started to worry a little, looking at Annie who stood as if she was a stone.

"... He's busy… that's all that you should know." she said, somewhat serious, before exiting.

As she was walking down the halls, her mood was more than clearly not the best. Katsuki was pissing her off, Tenya was annoying her to no end and All Might didn't seem to deal with the ash-blonde appropriately. Those were already bad enough, but Shoto's last comment did hit a corde in her. She was sure that he was just curious, she probably would too. But the mention of her father reminded her of the reason she has to be in Japan. That because of Regent, he had been unmasked for the world to see. That because of the nutjobs that he has fought, she had to leave his side. That she had to leave her old life because of that.

She wasn't annoyed anymore. She wasn't angry… just, sad.

As she reached her locker and was about to leave, she felt someone tapping her shoulder. Turning around, she saw Hitoshi.

"Why the long face?" he asked her.

"Tough day. Nothing I can't handle. How was yours?"

"Can't complain that much. Only that I might need your help for biology and math." he told her and actually made her smile a little.

"Not to worry, I always have time for my friends." she told him.

"Ready to call it a day?"

"Sure will, I just need to go pick Benjy from daycare."

"Want some company?"

"You don't-"

"Just like you said. I always have time for my friends." he told her, making her chuckle.

"You have your way with words, don't you?"

"Guess I do." he said, smiling at her.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard someone calling for them. Turning around, they saw Valeire running towards them and asking them to wait.

"Valerie? I thought that you were going to wait for Izuku to get up?"

"I-I was… b-but I remembered t-that Robbie and K-Kamala had already left and I didn't want t-to go home by myself." she answered, a little shyly. "... A-Also… I d-didn't want to leave my f-friend by herself." she said, giving her a small smile and causing Annie to give one back.

"You two, what am I going to do with you?" she asked, wrapping her arms around them.

"I don't know, but I'm sure that without us, you might as well be a trainwreck." Hitoshi joked.

"Maybe, but I'll be the prettiest of trainwrecks!"

"I-I'm not sure a t-trainwreck can be pretty." she said, making the two chuckle as they left school grounds.


Somewhere in the city of New York, in a bar that had no name, was a woman of brown hair. She was currently drinking a beer, having escaped prison not that long ago. She took a sip of her drink, while listening to the news that came from the bar's TV. They were local news and as such, would mention the actions of the local hero Spider-Man.

… Spider-Man… she loathed that name.

There was a time, in which the two were just kids with powers, meeting each other while he swung by the city. It was nice at first, knowing that there was someone like you out there in that big scary world. That you weren't alone, it excited the heart of that free-spirited girl. She thought they were friends. Spending time with one another for days, not having to worry about crap from the normal world. But as time passed and they got to know each other more, cracks in their so-called friendship started to arise.

Always going on and on and on about duty, about responsibility, moralizing every little thing like he was some sort of saint. It got on her nerves, the way he was always trying to be such a goody boy scout. Not losing up and ruining her fun. And when she had a job, a way to bring some cash to her table and let her eat something, he came around and got in her way. He called her a friend as he destroyed her life. She lost whatever was left of her childhood when she got arrested and he still had the audacity to try and act all buddy-buddy with her as she was being pushed inside of a patro?!

Ever since then, she has hated the web-slinger with all her heart. The world may see him as some sort of adventurer, as this brave champion of the people that constantly puts himself in the line of duty, but she knew better. Beneath that mask, beneath the act, he was nothing but a backstabbing, snake-tongued wet blanket.

"Annoying, isn't it?" said the woman sitting next to her. Someone with black hair, slightly older and with no power of her own outside of her intellect. The right hand of Regent, Shannon Stillwell. "A good man had everything he worked for brought to the ground and they celebrate the man that did it, as if he was some sort of paragon."

"Yep, if there's anything he's good at, it's ruining lives." the woman, Josephine Pulaski said, finishing her drink and slamming the mug on the table. "Keep them coming!" she told the bartender.

"You sure look like you're in an awful mood." said a man with a skull mask, one of the brothers Grimm.

"With crap like that on TV, anyone would be in a bad mood." she told the man.

"Agreed. Don't they see that their blind worship of super-beings will do nothing but bring upon their downfall?" said a blonde man in a blue costume, much to the annoyance of nearly everyone in the bar.

"And the nut job speaks again." Joey complained.

"Hey, Supercharger! Do us all a solid and keep whatever cult shit you have to yourself!" the criminal known as Powderkeg said.

"Of course those of lesser intelligence would try to silence my words."

"Care to repeat that you dollar-store Electro?!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You two, knock it off! You know the rules, no fighting inside!" the bartender shouted as he gave Joey her drink.

Just then, someone came through the door. Most of the criminals became wary of the man that just entered the pub. A lot of them were recurrent customers and were familiar with who came to have a drink. Yet this man, whoever he is, was someone that none have ever met.

He looked like a foreigner, probably of asian descent. He looked to be middle aged, had gray hair and pink eyes that were behind a pair of round glasses. He was wearing a pair of dress pants, alongside a blazer that had the upper button opened, as well as a nice-looking purple coat. He had a golden tube-like necklace that was hidden by his fluffy scarf, was missing one of his teeth in the middle and was also smoking. Combine that with his expression that said that he didn't give a damn about anything, most of the criminals already disliked the guy.

"Evening everybody. Don't mind me, I was just passing by and couldn't help to notice such an exemplary establishment." he said, with an accent that sounded like he came from Japan. "My good sir, would you happen to have some sake in your inventory?" he asked the bartender, who was just as suspicious as the other customers.

"You'll have to be, either the ballsiest bastard that there is or just have a plain dead wish, old man." Answer told the man.

"I've been called worse, believe it or not." he replied. "I must say, this place looks fairly clean and well-put together. I have an acquaintance who also runs a bar of his own and I must say, yours definitely have his beaten."

"Listen, you have one minute to tell us who you are, how did you find this place and what do you want, or else we're all going to take turns beating the life out of you!" Mongoose told the man.

"My, my and you're all so welcoming to? Most bars I go to only give me twenty seconds."

"We can see why." Scorpia said, getting annoyed at the man by the second.

"Well, I can't exactly say how I found the noteworthy Bar with no Name." he said, as the entirety of the bar got up and started to charge their powers and weapons to attack the man, who looked as calm as millpond. "But I can tell you that you can call me Giran and that I have a certain employer of mine that is planning a certain movement that requires some muscle. And since I was in the neighborhood, I asked myself; Who better to ask than the most daring, feared and deadliest of criminals that all of New York has ever seen? In other words, I'm here with a job offer." he said, as the criminals all eased up a little.

"... Anything in particular sir?" asked the bartender.

"I'm a little on the eccentric side."

"You heard the man, Mitch." he told the other bartender, who went to the store to retrieve a bottle of sake.

"What kind of job are you offering?" asked the criminal White Rabbit.

"You see, my employer has this hunch that a certain someone is going to be at U.A in Japan. As such, he's planning an attack there once he can confirm his suspicions. So, he'll require some help in invading school grounds."

"You're kidding, right? You came to this place to ask for help to beat up a bunch of brats?" 8-Ball asked.

"Not just any brats, U.A is the top hero school of Japan. You could say that it's similar to Avengers Academy and Xaier's School for gifted Youngsters. And I do know for a fact, that the legendary Sinister Six once infiltrated Hank Pym's school just to prove that they could." Giran informed the criminals. "Those six were already considered dangerous as it is, but after that, they went on wage war with the Avengers themselves and almost won. Tell me, don't you want to go down in history for doing something like that?" he asked, intriguing some of the criminals.

"The people of Japan are no doubt the worst of the worst when it comes to the worship of powered beings." Supercharger said, making the criminals roll their eyes. "If it means I can make an example of why they should fear their kin, then I have no problem going with you."

"Yes please! We'll even pay you to take him!" Looter said, with most agreeing with him.

"I'm not convinced. Going to the other side of the world just to beat a bunch of kids is way too much of a hazard to me. Besides, it ain't my style." the man known as Squid said.

"And what if I tell you that there's a chance that you could get even with Spider-Man in the process?" Giran said, surprising everyone as the bartender handed him his sake. "Why, thank you." he said as he started to drink from the cup.

"Get even with Spider-Man? How?" Regent's former right hand asked. "His identity is public, we can track him if we want. But outside of the fact that he's already hard to beat alone, some of the other 'heroes' of the city have tagged along with him more than usual as of lately."

"And what if I tell you that at least his daughter is in Japan?"

"Attack his family? No way, I want to live, thank you very much!" 8-Ball said. "I remember hearing how some random tough, angered him and as a result, he tore through most of the criminal underground of, I think eastern New York, looking for him!"

"Think that's bad? When in a bad mood, he has beaten us so bad, that some get arachnophobia as a result. I'm with a ball man. I don't exactly like the guy, but I don't hate him enough to risk my skin by pissing him off in the wrong way." the Scorcher said.

"I have business to attend here at the moment. Your offer sounds tempting, but I'll have to postpone it until I'm done with what I have in mind." Shannon said.

"My brother and I would love to go, but M.O.D.O.K already hired us for a job next week." one of the Grimm brothers said.

"Understandable. It's a shame really, but I guess-" Giran was saying, but stopped when he saw Joey get up, put some money on the bar and walk towards him.

"When would we be leaving?" she asked him, making him chuckle.

"In two days. I know it's a little too so-"

"And how likely would it be for us to run into Spider-Man's runt?" she asked him.

Giran looked at the woman in front of him and grinned as he got close to her ear. "Between you and me, I think his other kid is likely to be at U.A." he said, separating himself from the woman and drinking what was left of his sake.

Joey smiled at the sound of what Giran had told her. "Then you bet I'll be there."

"Excellent!" Giran said, as he pulled some money and handed it to the bartender. "Here you go, good sir. It was quite delightful." he told the bartender before turning to the two recruits. "Now then, if you could accompany me, I will fill you in as much details as I am allowed to." he told them, as the two nodded.

The trio of criminals exited the bar, the sun about to set in. As they were walking, the two Americans asked the man, just who it was that they were after at U.A? Giran chuckled, of course they would like to know that but he feared that he would like to be the one to say it. So he told them something that made them know just who it was almost instantaneously.

"He's planning on killing the man that walks among gods."


My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - A meeting of Super Moms!

It was a few weeks before the first day of school at U.A. At the moment, Inko Midoriya was walking through the city. She heard of this wonderful place that just opened not that long ago. A store whose owner comes all the way from New York and has some nice clothing, including hero merchandise from heroes abroad. She was so proud that her son managed to get into U.A. It filled her heart with pride and to reward him on his efforts (as well as trying to make amends for not standing with him when he needed her the most), she wanted to buy him some new clothes, as well as making him the hero costume that he designed when he was little.

She had the notebook in her purse and was planning on buying the materials after visiting the place. It's the least she could do for her son. Besides, she remembered hearing how the store sold commemorative posters of Captain America and All Might themselves, standing shoulder to shoulder with one another. They were also limited edition too, so maybe she could get him one… hopefully it's not that high of a price.

Once she entered the place, she saw two young adults working there. One was a blonde woman with short hair and the other one was a man of black hair. The two of them seemed to be foreigners as well (something that was only surprising when it came to the man, since he looked to be of Japanese descent), since they were talking to each other in english. Inko wasn't that fluent in english, but from what she could gather, it seems like there were other employees that were supposed to come later in the day.

Not that long after entering, she was met by whom she assumed to be the manager of the store. And to say that she was pretty, would be an understatement. She was gorgeous to say the least. She had emerald eyes, a beautiful red mane and she gave Inko a smile. Not like those fake smiles that people give their customers, this one felt genuine. She could actually feel warmth coming from her.

"Hi, welcome to MJ's! How may I help you?" she asked Inko.

"Oh, I-I was looking for new clothes for my son." Inko told the manager. "He's starting highschool soon and I wanted to buy him something new."

"I get it, I tend to do the same for my girls too." she said, surprising Inko.

"Girls? You mean you're a mother?"

"Last time I checked, I had this big belly for nine months three times already!" the manager joked, shocking Inko even more.

"So she's already given birth to three kids and she still looks like that?!"

"Does your son have anything that he likes in particular? A style, or something?" the manager asked, snapping Inko back to reality.

"Oh, s-sorry, I was-" Inko tried to say, waving her hands and while she did, her purse got stuck in one of the stans that had a spring outfit displayed. Inko paled as her purse snapped and brought the stan down. "Ahhhh! I-I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-s-so sorry!" Inko tried to apologise, but thankfully for her, the manager didn't seem mad.

"It's ok, accidents happened. Don't worry, it doesn't seem like the thing broke or anything." she said, noticing that the inside of the woman's purse was all over the floor. "Oh, here, let me help you with that." the manager said, kneeling down and picking Inko's belongings.

"N-No, don't worry I can-" Inko tried to say, but was cut off by the manager.

"It's ok, I don't mind giving someone a helping hand." teh manager said, as she picked the last item being a notebook. It ended up opening and it revealed what looked like a design for a hero costume. The manager couldn't help but to look at it for a little bit, before snapping back to reality. "Sorry, I didn't intend to intrude." she apologised, handing the belongings to the woman, who just got the stan off the ground.

"Oh, n-no need to apologise." she told her.

"So, I take it your kid is a big hero fan?" the manager asked.

"Y-Yeah, he's actually going to be at U.A." Inko said, intriguing the manager. "T-This is a costume that he designed when he was younger. I was planning on buying some materials and making it for him." Inko said, as the manager smiled.

"Isn't that a coincidence? One of my girls is about to go there as well!" she said, surprising Inko a little. "Actually, her dad and I also made her her costume. If you'd like, I can help you make it."

"Y-Yo mean it?"

"Sure thing. I would recommend you a place to buy the materials, but I don't know the city that well just yet." she said, chuckling a little.

"Oh, no need. I know a place not that far from where I live." Inko said.

"That's good to hear." the manager told Inko. "Say, why don't I help you pick something for your son while we talk? We just received some All Might shirts that are quite nice if you ask me."

"I would like that." Inko told the manager as they headed for the clothes. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm Midoriya Inko!" she told the manager.

"Mary Jane Watson-Parker. It's a pleasure." MJ told Inko with a smile, who smiled back.

The two talked for quite some time before parting ways. When they got back home and their children asked them how their day was, they told them the same thing.

"I met this nice lady. We agreed on going for coffee some time later." they told their kids, who smiled. "She also has a kid around your age. You should meet each other. She told me that her kid has this wonderful personality!" they said, much to the embarassed of their kids.

And even though they would become good friends in the foreseeable future, Annie got a shiver down her spine for some reason. As for Izuku… well, he turned as red as a tomato. The two then complained to their mothers, much to their amusement.
