"So, you thought to scatter and kill us… huh?" asked Shoto Todoroki. "Sorry to say it, but it looks like you weren't prepared for our quirks."

After Parker told the other American to get Tenya out of the facility, the mist villain teleported most of the class to different parts of U.S.J. Shoto found himself alone in the landslide zone and soon enough, multiple villains emerged to attack him. They bragged that they were there to kill the number one hero of the country, yet it barely took a minute for the prodigy student to dispose of them all. He used his powers to freeze his attackers, as well as part of the surroundings in just a couple of seconds. It was clear to him that none of them were prepared to face him.

"... D-D-Damn k-k-kid…" stuttered a villain that was frozen in place with frost around his body.

As the group of criminals all tried and failed to free themselves, the boy of dual-colored hair started to think of the situation at hand. At first, he had just assumed that these guys would try and overwhelm them with sheer numbers. But now, it seemed like they were nothing but simple goons. Hardly a threat capable of even being a nuisance to All Might. From the looks of it, he could probably count the amount of actual threats with one hand at most. Four, maybe five people at most?

The mist guy seemed to be a smart one since, on paper, scattering the enemy sounds like a good idea. That big guy with the exposed brain… it could probably be troublesome, but he still didn't know if it could be the case. Appearances could be tricky like that. Case in point, that woman that was looking at Parker. She looked like some random civilian. At most, she looked like some kind of gang members from those old American movies, nothing more. But what if she was capable of more than meets the eye? She looked like a foreigner, American if he had to pick. That blonde villain that spoke after the pale one also sounded like he had an accent similar to Parker, albeit rougher. Maybe they were aware of who her father was? That would make sense. Lastly, that pale guy made himself sound like he was the big baddie of the whole group. Maybe he had something up his sleeve and even if he didn't it still sounded like the others could be potential threats.

"At this rate, your cells will start dying and you'll succumb to death by necrosis. But since I want to be a hero, I would want to avoid that." he said, as he walked towards one of the villains in front of him. "So, what exactly was your plan to kill All Might?" he asked.

Meanwhile, in the blazing city not that far from there, where a group of annoyed criminals, a somewhat dazed kid and a terrified girl trying to put on her best brave face… Keyword being trying. Because despite her desires, she still looked like a scared child. Mainly because right now, she was in fact, a scared child.

"She says that while looking like she's ab-" a criminal tried to say, but before he could finish, he felt a strong uppercut hitting him with the force of a professional boxer in the heavyweight category.

"What the- GAGH!" exclaimed another, as the blue girl was suddenly on her side, having kicked her in the knee from the side.

"W-W-W-W-What am I doing?!" the girl asked herself, punching the criminal and knocking her cold.

"How did she-"

"She can teleport, you idiot! Now kill her or do something before she can do it again!" said another somewhat large criminal that tried to charge at her.

In response to that, Valerie created a small portal in the ground and stomped on it. As a result, she ended up kicking the villain in his left heel with enough force to make him cry in pain. He was about to fall face first into the ground, but Valerie decided to try something by creating a large portal where he was about to fall. As a result, she teleported the big villain a couple of meters above some other criminals. Soon enough, he crashed into at least three of them and all of them fell unconscious.

"Well, looks like someone grew a spine after all." noted a criminal.

"N-N-No I didn't! N-N-No one g-g-grew a spine here! I-I-I-I-I'm still spineless!"

"Got you now, little girl!" a criminal shouted, as his hands turned into some sort of wraps that looked a little like a mummy's bandages and sent them towards her.

Valerie reacted as quickly (and as scared) as she could. sliding to her left and grabbing a hold of the bandages-like-wraps. Before the criminals could do anything though, Valerie yanked him towards her and then kneed him in the gut. Knocking the air out of him and taking him out of the fight. Before she noticed it (and before she could apologise to the man that just tried to kill her), Valerie heard Ojiro's voice calling for her to take a step back. She did, but a little late, as a villain with animalistic features came down and slashed at her left cheek.

The blue girl stumbled backwards a little bit, feeling the blood dripping from the five marks in her face. Meanwhile, the villain growled in anger. They were outnumbering around eight to one at the very least, yet not only has she dealt with most of them, but the only thing that they had going was a couple of slashes on her face?! How was that possible?! There were a little over sixteen and now, there were only about five of them at most! And all because this little girl?! The same little girl that was too scared to stand up for herself just a few moments ago?! How?!

"Vector, are you alright?!" asked Ojiro, finally able to somewhat stand up.

"Y-Yeah, i-it's not that serious." she told him, annoying the criminals.

"Not that serious? I'll show you serious!" yelled the criminal, as she leaped towards the two kids once again.

She tried to slash at Valerie once again, but this time, the blue girl was more than prepared. Side stepping to the right, she got a hold of one of her arms. Before the villain could do anything, Valerie used the momentum of the attack to flip her over her shoulder and towards a portal that sent the criminal above two others. Another one tried to hit her with a metal pipe, but the adopted Van Dyne managed to grab a hold of his wrist. She then twisted it, forcing him to drop the metal pipe and letting her grab it. He then was kicked in the side of his abdomen before being smacked in the face with the blunt object.

Before they could process what had happened, the two kids stood in the middle of a city ablazed, with their would-be attackers either unconscious, or really, really hurt in the ground. There was one last criminal still standing, but unlike the others that tried to rush at the kids without thinking things through, he looked at all of his fallen comrades. Most of them having fallen at the hands of just the blue girl. He started to try and weigh his options, to see the best course of action on taking those two kids down now that he was alone… or at least that's what he will tell the others in prison one day.

"Screw this!" he said, booking it the other way and trying to escape from the two.

"... Um, shouldn't we do something about that?" asked Ojiro.

Valerie looked rather uneasy. Sure, he was a criminal, but she wasn't sure what to do. He was only one guy against the two of them, wouldn't that make her look a little like a bully? She didn't want to look like a bully. Looking at where the guy was running, he asked herself: 'What would Captain America do?'

She looked at the metal pipe and decided to gently throw it at the perpetuator… or at least as gentle as a hybrid teenage girl with at least three times the average strength could.

"UGH!" the criminal grunted, falling to the ground after getting hit in the back.

With him out of the equation, they had finally rid themselves of those pesky criminals. Valerie turned around and saw that Ojiro was now somewhat better than he looked before. Then again, he got hit pretty hard, so she thought that it would probably be better to go and check on him just in case. She was about to walk towards him when all of the sudden… she tripped… in herself apparently.

"Why?" she asked herself as she fell face in a… somewhat cute way.

Sitting up, Valerie rubbed her head, wondering why she had to be so clumsy. How is it possible for any human being to trip on themselves in the most ridiculous way possible a thing? As she asked herself that, she managed to hear Ojiro calling for her. Lifting her head, she saw that he was walking towards her and immediately grew scared (like she normally did).

"I-I-Is h-he mad at me? H-He's probably mad at me! I was a-acting like a baby back then and h-he got hurt because of it! Waaaah! Why couldn't Annie be here?!" the girl innerly cried as the boy opened his mouth.

"Vector…" he said, making the girl flinch and expecting the worst. "... I am so sorry!" he said, bowin at the girl who was just confused.

"... Eh?"

"You were in trouble and didn't seem to be in the best of shape, so I wanted to try my best to help you out… But at the end of it all, I ended up being dead weight while you were forced to fight those villains on your own."

"I-I wasn't expecting that."

"I must have looked rather pathetic, didn't I? I could barely hold a couple of them and you ended up taking care of most of them by yourself. I knew that you were going to be amazing and all, but after seeing you like that… kind of makes me wonder what am I even doing in the hero course?"

"D-Don't say that Ojiro! Y-You weren't dead weight at all!" the girl frantically said, trying to reassure the boy.

"Come on, Vector. You don't have to have pit-

"I'm not!" the girl said, a little loud. Something that shocked Ojiro, since he never expected the shy blue girl to do that. And after realizing what she did, Valerie quickly covered her mouth. "I-I-I-I-I'm sorry! I-I-I-I d-d-didn't mean to yell at you!"

"N-N-No, it's ok Vector."

"N-No, it's not!" the girl told the tailed boy. "I-If not for you, I w-wouldn't have tried to stand up to them… in all honesty, I should be the one asking what am I doing in the hero course…" the girl said, looking down, but then, a small smile formed in her face as she looked at the blonde boy. "I should be the one apologizing to you. And I should be thanking you too." the girl said.

Ojiro was taken aback after hearing what the girl said. She defeated more than half of their attackers by herself and she wanted to apologize to him? The guy that barely slowed them down? Hell, it didn't take long for the villains to almost end his life, whereas Vector only had a scratch on her cheek.

"S-So, t-thank you for saving me, Ojiro. I-It r-really means a lot to me." Valerie said, looking up and smiling at Ojiro. "I'm glad that you seem to be ok. And I think you're going to be a really strong hero one day. You l-looked really cool f-fighting them all on your own!" the girl complimented him, making Ojiro smile.

"Thanks Vector. I think you'll be a great hero as well!" the boy told the girl, extending his hand to her, since she was still on the ground. "Can I at least help you get up?" he asked as Vector nodded and took his hand.

He then gently pulled her off the ground and started to look around the city of fire. He had a feeling that the two of them needed to get out of there fast. He assumed that staying there for too long will become a hazard to their health soon enough. That's without mentioning the villains that were on the ground. They probably also had to get them out as well. The problem would be that they would have to not only look for the exit, but also find a way to get all of them out of there as well.

"If I remember things well, then Vector can only create portals that go twenty meters in any direction of hers. And if what happened in the entrance exam is any indication, then transporting more people would only tire her out." he thought, but then he looked at the villain with the mummy hands. "Well, I guess we could use his… bandages? Yes, we can use his bandages to tie the others and then between the two of us, we could probably pull them out with us. Hopefully, they're tougher than they look. Then, maybe we could try to see what's going on?"

And as the blonde boy was thinking of a way out of their predicament. The blue American was looking at her hand with a little bit of pride.

"I can't believe it… I… I… I actually made a new friend of my own!" she thought, as a joyful and kind of innocent smile was drawn to her face.


"Is this all of them?" asked Bakugo, as he and Kirishima stood in the middle of a room of defeated villains lying at their feet. "What a bunch of weaklings."

"Come on, let's hurry up! The others are probably in danger as well and some of them don't have offensive moves!" the boy of hardening ability told to the ash-blonde. "If we hadn't rushed in, then NO.13-sensei would have sucked that mist guy. It's our responsibility as men to set things right!"

"Wanna go? Go by yourself. I'm going to kill that wrap gate bastard." said Bakugo, as the other boy questioned what the hell was going over his head.

"You come up with that nonsense at times like this?! Besides, physical attacks don't work on that guy! We already saw that!"

"Shut it, weird hair!" Bakugo barked at Kirishima. "That bastard is their ride! So if he goes down, then they'll be stuck here" he explained.

And while they were talking, something moved behind their backs. It moved rather quietly and was nearly as invisible as their invisible classmate. It was a villain with the ability of camouflaging to his surroundings. He moved with such care, that no one could notice him… or at least no one that wasn't competent.

The villain tried to strike, but the boy of explosive quirk easily caught him and blasted at him with an explosion, knocking him down near instantaneously.

"Besides…" he said, holding the unconscious villain by the head. "If he sent these worthless extras after us, then everything should be fine." he told Kirishima, amazing the other boy with spiky hair.

"Wow, who knew you could be so calm and rational? Usually, you're more like…" said Kirishima, imagining a sharp-teeth Bakugo yelling 'DIE!' over and over again.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOUSED TO MEAN?! I'M THE PINNACLE OF CALMNESS, SHITTY HAIR!"

"There it is, that's more like it!" Kirishima joked.

Katsuki grunted in complaint. Bad enough that some useless bastards had the balls to come here and try to kill his all time favorite hero. But they decided to scatter them all to the wind and give him such worthless opponents?! Bastards. How dare they do him dirty?! He deserved better, dammit! He… they deserve better.


"What the hell is that…? A 'borrowed' power? Just what the hell are you blabbering about? Did you just come here to make me look like a bigger fool?! Huh?! Is that what you want?!" asked Bakugo.

Sometime after their second day at U.A ended, Katsuki Bakugo was the first to leave for home. They had told Midoriya that he, Parker and Vector had already left, but he still wanted to talk to them. Parker mostly to thank her for looking for him at the infirmary, but it was his childhood friend the one that he wanted to talk to the most. He wanted to set things straight with him. He didn't know exactly why, but he ended up telling him how he came to have a quirk from one day to another. Granted, he didn't mention anything about All Might, or anything. But he felt like he needed to tell him that.

Although for the looks of things, maybe he didn't think things thurley.

"YOU BEAT MY ASS TODAY, YOU DAMN NERD! THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT! THAT'S… that's all…" he shouted, although his voice started to waver somewhat by the end. "Did you see that frost bastard in action?! No, you didn't! I thought he was nothing to me before, but… but… and then that ponytail know it all! I can still hear what she said…! Fuck!"

"K-Kachan?" said Midoriya, never expecting to see who he thought to be the toughest guy around look so… vulnerable?

"And then that damn yankee comes along and… and… She had the nerve to threaten me for what happened in our match! She looked at me dead in the eyes and didn't even falter!"

Izuku's eyes widened. Parker did that… for him?

"And what's worse?! Is that if we were to fight, I would barely do anything to her! She and those other fucking Americans! Especially that class B fucker!" cried Bakugo, shocking Midoriya even further at hearing his childhood friend admit that he couldn't beat someone, let alone two to four people. "They were in a completely different league to me! They didn't even acknowledge my presence, but acknowledge you?! That quirkless cry baby bastard?! Was it because you beat me?! If you had fought with your quirk from the start… would you… could you… SHIT!"

Lifting his head up, Midoriya saw something that he never expected from the explosive prodigy. He saw his eyes starting to fill with tears that he was fighting from letting out. He saw him in a vulnerable state. And yet, he still had that look filled with determination.

"Listen well! From here on out, I'M GOING TO BE NUMBER ONE! AND DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT I'LL LET MYSELF GET BEATEN BY YOU OR ANYONE EVER AGAIN!" he shouted as he walked away, leaving Deku by himself.


"If anything, the damn yankee is probably the only one with a competent bastard gunning for her." said the ash-blonde.

"Uh? How can you be sure?"

"Anyone with half a brain could have figured it out. That civilian looking extra was looking at her directly. Combine the fact the the bitch looked like a fucking foreigner and that the yankee's dad is a vigilante that even All Might couldn't catch…"

"So you mean that Parker could be in trouble?! Then we have to hurry and-"

"If you want to get in her way, be my guest. I'm going to kill the warp gate bastard and that's it." the ash-blonde declared.

"Uh… wait a minute, I know!" Kirishima said, as he believed he realized why Bakugo was saying all of that. "You don't want to interfere because you're confident that she and the rest of our classmates can take care of themselves!"

"DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH THAT I DIDN'T SAY!" Bakugo yelled at the shirtless kid. "Tsk… I refuse to believe that someone could kill them before I can, that's all. So just fuck off already!"

"Wait up Bakugo! Believing in our classmates sounds like the manly thing to do, so I'll do it too! I'm with you!"

And so, the duo of students left the area. Prepared to face off against whom they assumed was one of the most, if not the most important member of the group of villains that was at U.S.J. However, now that things were in silence, did Kirishima notice something.

What were those explosion sounds if not Bakugo?

To answer that, one would have to be on the outside of the fake building that they were on and they had to try to look for the other side of the fake city in ruins. Where a battle between a redhead teenage girl was fighting against some crazy lady that wanted her death above all else… Well, she wanted her father to suffer, but details weren't that important at the moment.

"Stay still, you damn runt!" shouted Joey, trying to hit the teenage arachnid.

"Now why would I do that?" asked the girl, jumping away from an explosive hurled at her and sticking to the side of one of the buildings. "Usually adults want whippersnappers like myself to be active, don't they?" The girl once more, had to jump away. Swinging from a silk thread from her father's old web shooter, she landed on top of a roof, she leaped towards the side of another building to avoid another attack. "You know, that's good for one's health in the long run. And you-"

"For god's sake, shut up! Is there an off button for that blabbering mouth of yours?!"

"You know, there are these two girls that I know that have asked themselves that very same question!" she said, diving to the ground and avoiding another explosion and swinging in a way that she would be beneath the crazy lady. "One of them is a little rugrat and kind of full of herself (both of them actually), so I don't hold it that much against her. Oh but the other one is kind of a pain to deal with." commented the arachnid, shooting a thread of web at the lady's left foot and as she landed on the ground, she yanked her to the ground, slamming her into the pavement. "She's all like; 'Oooh, look at me. I hacked an overrated phone and built a suit of armor in my garage. I'm so smart'. Newsflash, tinhead! Every would-be inventor has done that at some point! You're not as special as you like to think!" she said, as the crazy lady started to pick herself from the ground.

"No, I still think you're the second most infuriating person that I have met."

"I'm serious. The two of them could learn a little humility if you ask me… A lot could, actually, now that I think about it. Why is it that every young self-proclaimed super-genius needs to have such an ego?" she asked out loud. "By the way, if I'm stuck with the silver medal, who gets first place?"

"As if you need to ask!" yelled the criminal, hurling multiple explosive pebbles at the girl, who jumped out of the way to dodge them.

"Oh yeah, you have beefs with my dad." the girl said, webbing a piece of rubble and tossing it at the criminal, who protected herself with a bubbleshield. "Could you at least enlighten me in the why's and when's of your desire to kill him? Dr. Skull-Spider will need to hear about it for the diagnosis."

"Oh, you want to know?!"

"I'm literally asking, lady. It's supervillain 101 for the bad guy (or lady, in your case) to go on and on about their origin story and all that drama that follows." she said, weaving from the explosions as best as she could.

"Well, since I'm about to put you to sleep, I may as well tell you a little story!" she said, launching a projectile that was actually successful in crashing into the arachnid girl. Creating a loud BOOM and sending her crashing through a window and through the other side of the building that she crashed. "Girl's life is a piece of crap! Girl is tormented since elementary all the way through middle school!"

Catching Annie in a bubble, she sent her crashing into the pavement. Sending her skipping as if she were a pebble crossing a lake.

"Girl's life isn't that great at home either! Her life is just crap after crap!" she said, hurling some explosive marbles at the girl, who barely dodged them. "Girl goes to sleep one day and awakes with powers the next morning! Girl believes that things are finally going to change and goes out to have some fun for once in her miserable existence!"

Annie managed to pick herself up, just in time to see more projectiles being thrown her way. She quickly shot herself away from where she was standing and over the criminal. She was about to slingshot herself towards her, but had to change trajectory when her spider sense warned her of another explosion that was coming her way.

"Girl wanders the city, but no matter what she does, she still feels so goddamn alone! But one day, girl meets boy. And boy seems to be about her speed. So the two start to hang out with each other and for a while, girl thinks that things might turn ok for once." she said, trying to attack the teenager again, but having to protect herself from more rubble being swung her way. "But unfortunately for her, boy is just too stiff to have fun. Always trying to act like some sort of boy scout, girl soon finds herself irritated every time boy talks about 'responsibility' and of 'doing the right thing', so one day, girl tells him to go away!"

Before she could react, Annie was once again in another bubble, this time being taken to the sky next to the crazy lady. But instead of throwing her away like the other times she was trapped in one of her bubbles. Joey started to reduce the size of the marble that was trapping Parker. Doing her best to squeeze the life of her and to her credit, actually hurting the girl a little. She believed that if not for her spider-strength, the crazy lady could… well, probably not kill her, but she would definitely send any other person to the hospital.

"Girl is alone again, but one day someone offers girl a job. She's excited and tries her best to do it well! But unfortunately for her, boy soon comes in and ruins everything!" she growled, trying to exert more pressure on the marble but being unable as Annie fought back. "Soon, boy knocks girl away and soon enough the police come in!"

Annie somehow managed to get her arm out of the bubble. So, she webbed Joey's shirt and pulled her towards her. This caused Joey to lose focus of the marble and so it dissipates. Once it did and once Joey was within range, Annie punched her in the jaw. As they were falling, she was about to punch her again, but Joey was not about to let that happen. Forming an explosive marble in her right hand, she smacked it into Annie's face. Causing an explosion that separated the two of them. Annie flew downwards and crashed into the ground while Joey somewhat regained herself. Flying once more and avoiding crashing into a wall, Joey hurled a couple of explosives where Annie was. Creating multiple explosions and lifting a screen of smoke.

"The police takes girl away and boys does nothing. Boy just stands there as girl is being taken away! Girl cries internally as boy leaves her on her own! Your old man stabbed me in the back and ruined what was left of my goddamn shit of a life!" she yelled as hard as she could. Breathing heavily for this was actually more difficult than she first thought. After calming herself, Joey finished her story. "Boy and girl were never truly friends. Boy only used girl and disposed of her when he no longer needed her. So, girl decided to make boy pay by putting boy's runt six feet under. And once she does, girl will laugh at boy, knowing that he had what he deserved. The. End."

After saying that, there was nothing but silent. Silent and the dust that was still covering where the girl was supposed to be. For a moment, for about the same amount of time that it takes for a computer to calculate something, Joey thought that she succeeded. For that brief instant, she thought that the girl was now in the realm of the dead. But she knew better. If things were that simple, then the criminal underground of New York would have done something like this ages ago.

No, she didn't succeed. There was a heartbeat behind that screen of dust. She didn't need to have super hearing to tell that it was there. It was beating. It was beating strongly and it was beating in a way that was taunting her.

Why is that heart still beating?!

"So, just to clarify… you're not a crazy ex, right?" the voice of the girl asked.

"Tsk. Do you really think so little of me to insinuate me with that bullcrap?!"

"Ok… I honestly don't know if I should feel relieved or be insulted, so I'm just going to go over to the next point." she said, as the dust finally started to dissipate a little slowly. "First of all, you really need to work on your narration, and also try to expand on the characters. Your story doesn't exactly give any sort of idea of what to think of them other than one of them is good and the other one is a piece of work."

Joey growled in irritation. Her eyes glowing with power as she was preparing to smite the runt as soon as she was visible once more.

"Second, for what you're telling me, you were some sort of delinquent that did what she wanted. Blamed her misfortunes on the world and when someone tried to reason with you, you simply turned him down and acted as an entitled brat? Not looking good for you, crazy lady."

Joey's eyes began to light up brighter and brighter. Multiple marbles formed around her, glowing with great power and ready to be unleashed in the kid with one simple command.

"And third, not only did you decide to drop the blame on a good man for your mistakes, instead of owning them like a responsible person? But instead of taking it on him, you decided to take in on his kid? Probably because you know you wouldn't last more than five minutes against my dad? Wow, talk about cowardly."

Joey was now surrounded with an aura of magenta energy. Her hair dancing in the air violently in rage at the kid's voice.

"Yeah, I think I'm done with my diagnosis. You're just a bully. And a petty one at that."

"YOU DON'T KNOW A DAMN THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"

"Want to hear something? For once, I want to believe that I do." she said, as the dust finally cleared, reavilling a roughed up, yet standing Annie, holding multiple silk threads in her hands. "And while I'm sure that many others will give you multiple sorts of treatments, Dr. Skull-Spider's recommendation is a long awaited time out!"

She pulled the threads as hard as she could. Joey was about to attack, but she stopped when she heard something. That something was the sound of rubble. Looking up at the building behind her, she saw that the spider-runt had silently webbed part of the weakened front of the building and ripping some of it off of it. The debris soon started to fall towards the criminal, forcing her to drop her offensive and protect herself with a forcefield. And while she was successful, the force of the debris falling brought her down towards the ground and the amount of rubble managed to actually bury her.

Annie sighed, falling to her knees as she tried to recover her breath. Putting that bravado of hers and being over and over again was not a pleasant experience.

"According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal, yet opposite reaction. I may be wrong, since it's really hard to make calculations while some wacko is blowing you up, but my guess is that her explosions may contain at minimum 1,255,000 joules of energy. Which is roughly five times the amount of a standard grenade. So that means that her bubbleshield must be able to protect her from at least something like that. And having a bunch of rubble falling down on her is probably about the same as that." she thought, still breathing somewhat heavily. "I know for a fact that this won't hold her long. I can see some of the rubble moving, as if she was pushing from inside. My best bet is probably to try and reunite with the others before that happens. Not the manliest of things to do, if Ejiro is to have a say in things, but I rather not push my goddy luck… I should probably recharge. I'm not sure how much web-fluid the cartridge in the web shooter has."

One thing that she decided to add to her costume was a stachel around her waist. Or a purse if she were to ask Robbie, which of course, she will not. She thought that it would probably be good for carrying things. Plus, it combined with her look. Reaching into it, she started to look for another cartridge of webbing inside. However while her hand was inside she felt… something. It was as if there were a bunch of pieces of broken glasses and plastic inside of it. Almost like they were pieces of-

"Uh-oh." she said with widened eyes. "Please don't be it, please don't be it, please don't be-" she was saying as she frantically searched her pur- stachel.

Pulling her hand out and opening it, Annie saw her fear come true. It was her cracked phone. Or… at least pieces of what was left of it. She should have guessed that something like that would have happened. She was thrown through a few walls here and there after all. But just because it made perfect sense, didn't mean that she wasn't any less mad about it.

"OH, COME ON!" she yelled, turning towards the pile of rubble where the criminal was buried and giving a glare of which contained the wrath of a thousand teenage girls. "Well I hope you're happy! You just wrecked my already beaten and old phone! What, do you think that this just grows on trees or something?! We're already on a budget to have you breaking my stuff!"

Her response was to have the rubble move a lot more than before.

"Oh yeah?! Well, just so you know I hope that that jacket of yours gets ruined by all of that rubble on top of you!"

The rubble moved again.

"GRRR!" Annie growled as she turned around and took her leave. Not before mumbling something about her being a Grease reject and other stuff.


"Kaminari, don't you dare turn around!" yelled Jirou.

Like the rest of their peers, Jirou Kyoka, Momo Yaoyorozu and Denki Kaminari were scattered all across the U.S.J facility. They found themselves in the mountain zone, with multiple villains gunning for them. Seeing no way to run, the trio all started to do their best to fend the villains off. However, thanks to a well elaborated plan made by the raven-haired girl, they were able to oneshot the remaining criminals using a combination of Kaminari's unleashed electric quirk and Yaoyorozu creating an insulated sheet to protect herself and Jirou from the blonde kid's power. And while the results turned out to be quite successful, it came at the cost of Denki frying his brain and Momo… well…

It's a good thing she's both rich and has the ability to create stuff out of her body. Makes it somewhat excusable to ruin her clothes.

"Hee… Heeee." said Denki, giving them two thumbs up as well as having the most moronic and goofy expression on his face.

"What's with that goofy face? Looks like more of an idiot than usual." asked Jirou, still covering Momo's exposed chest.

"If I were to hypothesize, I would be inclined to believe that it is a side-effect of Kaminari-san's quirk."

"You think?"

"It is the most logical conclusion. It could be that while he is able to generate an impressive amount of electric energy, he ended up frying his brain in the process." said the raven-haired girl. "Hopefully, his current state is only temporary."

"Well, it's not like there was much to lose if it's not, so I guess it will be ok, either way." Jirou muttered, only to shake her head. "Wait, what am I saying? It's not ok! Brainless or not, you're still basically topless!"

"I don't think that that would be the right te-"

"Kaminari! Turn around! Now!" yelled the girl of acoustic quirk.

Kaminari, although appearing to be unable to understand her, did as they said and turned around. Kyoka sighed and Momo could only chuckle at her two classmates. She was glad to have such caring classmates as the two. Besides, this could serve as a way for them to relieve themselves a little. They were in quite a stressful situation. However, much to her dread, the danger was far from over. Further behind them, a hand reached from the ground. Afterwards, a villain with a green vest and a skull-like helmet emerged. He was able to evade the kid's attack by burying himself into the ground. Not like he needed to since he too has an electric-based quirk, which meant that he had a natural resistance to those kinds of attacks. Especially since unlike the kid, he was far more competent with it. No, he did this so he could sneak up on them and have them as hostages in case anything were to happen. He wasn't that trustful with his boss. The wrap guy was fairly competent, but the hand guy? Not so much. Besides, with those two Americans going around, it was better to have a back-up plan.

He decided to go for the kid of electric quirk. Not that he liked the idea, since their quirks were so similar that it was almost as if they were of the same kin, but it was his best bet. He was practically defenseless so it was perfect for him. He started to approach him, not giving that much thought that he could spot him since he was now facing his way. He was too affected by his quirk to do anything and he was also blocking the view from the two girls. Just as he was about to approach to the point that he was almost at arm's reach, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He soon fell down unconscious, revealing the cause of said pain.

It was the blue girl Valerie, who had delivered a karate chop at the guy's neck to make sure he wouldn't do anything. The sound of the villain falling down alerted the two other girls, staggering the two of them on their feet only to see a smiling Vector waving at them.

"Vector?! When did you get here?!" asked Kioka, looking down and seeing the fallen villain. "And more importantly, when did he get here?!" she asked as she put herself in between Momo and the others since she had yet to make another shirt for herself.

"H-Hi J-Jirou, Y-Yaoyorozu. T-The thing is-" she was about to say, but ended up noticing something.

It was odd to see Kioka shielding Momo the way she was doing. But it wasn't until she saw some bits of red fabric all around the ground. Combined that with the fact that she could still somewhat tell that her clothes have been torn to shreds that a picture formed in her mind. A picture that, may she add, made the girl blush so brightly, that some might believe her powers to be fluorescent skin.

"Vector! Did you find anything?!" a voice suddenly asked from afar.

"Isn't that Ojiro-san?" asked Momo.

"Ojiro?!" a panicked Kioka repeated, knowing that another boy (one with a functional brain) shouldn't be near Momo at her current state. "Ojiro!"

"Huh? Was that-"

"Listen, whatever you do, don't come here until we tell you to!"

"What?! Why?! Are you alright?!"

"The thing is, I may be in… an indecent condition!"

"You got that right! Your shirt is all over the place!" she yelled.

From Ojiro's end, he soon understood what she meant.

Momo was probably topless.

Most guys would have probably run off to try and catch a glimpse of that sight. He knew that Mineta would have been there the moment they mentioned it. However, Ojiro was not like that, so instead of doing that, he blushed like crazy and turned around.

"Please tell me that it wasn't a villain!" he asked.

"Don't worry, Ojiro-san! It was mostly my doing. We were in a hurry so, when I created something to protect us, I accidentally destroyed my shirt! I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable! I thought that the design of my costume would have suffice, but it seems like I may have made a slight error."

"N-N-N-N-Next time p-p-p-p-please just add a sipper!" said the girl, facing the opposite way of where the other girls were and covering her face while still blushing.

After the raven-haired girl created and put on something to cover herself, they finally told Ojiro that he could come. He did shortly after, jogging slightly and wary, just in case something happened. Whether it be a villain trying to sneak on them and he having to fight them… or one of the girls losing another piece of clothing and him having to cover his eyes.

"Um, what's with him?" asked Ojiro, pointing at the dumb-looking Kaminari, who was just walking around and giving everything a thumbs up.

"Not important, what happened to you?!" asked Jirou.

The two looked like they had a rough time. Their clothes and parts of their faces were covered in ashes. Obviously due to the fact that they were in a blazing city. There was also the fact that Ojiro had a somewhat visible bruise on his forehead and Vector had five slashes on her cheek. Obviously, this worried the two girls and would have probably worried Kaminari as well… that is if his brain was in a functional state.

"W-W-We were a-attacked." Vector said shyly.

"Oh, my! Are you two alright?" asked a concern Momo.

"We managed to pull off with no major injury… although it was mostly Vector who did the heavy lifting."

"T-T-That's not true, you fought sixteen criminals by y-yourself!"

"Sixteen?!"

"But I barely beat five at most and was about to have my head crushed if not for you."

"Your head was about to what?!"

"Besides, you did beat most of them with no issue at all."

"She did!?"

"I-I-I was r-r-really scared though."

"... Ok, you out of everyone in class, I never expected the two of you to be so intense." Kyoka said.

"I have a question." said Momo, getting everyone's attention (safe for the still fried-brain boy). "Vector-san, didn't you leave with Ida-san? I saw you teleporting away." she asked.

"T-The thing is… W-We did manage to get out, but I told I-Ida to go and get help. I-I would have only slowed him down." the girl said, a little ashamed of herself.

"Kind of hard to really think that after hearing how you beat up a bunch of villains by yourself." commented Kyoka.

"W-Well, e-even if I did tried to escape… T-The mist guy c-caught me off-guard and b-brought me here."

"Well, at least you're ok now." Momo said, glad to know that at least some of her classmates managed themselves well enough. "In any case, we should try to reunite with the others as soon as possible. Who knows how the others are fairing. That's without mentioning how we know nothing of these villains."

"I-I d-d-did recognised one of them."

"You did?" asked Ojiro as the girl nodded.

"T-The blonde one with the b-blue suit."

"Well, he looked to be American, so I guess you would." said Jirou, although Momo seemed to be a little concerned. "So, who's the guy?"

"H-He's name is S-Supercharger. I-I r-r-read a little of him from the A-" she was about to say, but froze when she realized what she was about to say.

"From where?" asked Ojiro.

"F-F-F-F-From t-t-t-the library!" the blue American quickly said nervously… well, more than normally.

"If his name is correct, it would be right to assume that he has electric-based abilities or something similar. Right?" asked Momo as Valerie nodded.

"Is he tough?" asked the other native girl.

"I-I'm not sure. I-It usually d-doesn't take more than one super-hero to b-beat him." she said, remembering that while it is true that he was a Master of Evil, as well as having fought the likes of Spider-Man, the Avengers, a team of Thunderbolts, Rogue and Gambit, it's not like he put much of a challenge. The most he did was probably giving Spider-Man a run for his money for a while, but that was back when he first started in the hero business.

"Still, there must be some kind of tactic we could use against him if he turns out to be more dangerous than anticipated." she said, as Valerie tried to remember something of use.

"W-Well… I t-think that the first person to beat him did so b-by d-draining his energy."

"Really? Wow, he must have been quite something to pull that off. Who did it?" asked Jirou.

Valerie looked rather uneasy when she asked her that and for good reason. The person, the man, the hero that defeated Supercharger was none other than Spider-Man himself. The original teenage superhero turned living legend. The one person everybody can trust to have their back and to take a beating so others won't have to. Ask Captain America, ask Daredevil, ask Nightcrawler or anyone else and even if they have a few problems with him, there's only one way the greatest heroes of the world would describe him

The best of us.

A light in the darkness. A guardian of red and blue. An indomitable and righteous soul. A proven warrior with the heart of a king. He who even a god believes in. If All Might is meant to be the Symbol of Peace, then Spider-Man may as well be the embodiment of hope. Of responsibility and of courage.

Of sacrifice.

She knew that well, which is why she admired him as well even before befriending his daughter… but she wasn't sure if the others would think the same. But seeing as they were awaiting for an answer, she had to try and swallow her worries and tell them who he was… unfortunately, she wasn't really good at it, since she only murmured it with such a low tone, that not even Jirou heard it.

"Come again?" asked Ojiro, only for her to do it again.

"Could you repeat that? I didn't quite catch it." said Jirou, only for her to repeat it, but only slightly less low… which was almost the same.

"Heeee." said Denki, probably asking if she could repeat that… probably.

"Vector-san, could it be that the one that first stopped him was Spider-Man?" asked Momo, making the blue girl winced at the mention of the name, but ultimately nodding. "I was afraid of that." she said, as everyone turned their attention to her.

"W-What?" asked the blue girl in concern.

"That other American villain was looking at her. She was ignoring everyone but her. And like us, Parker was also teleported across U.S.J."

"Wait, you mean that Parker could be in some bigger danger than we thought?!" asked the tailed boy.

"It could be a possibility. Who's to say that she wasn't teleported to somewhere with only one or two of them against her?" she said, as the color in Valerie's face started to fade by the second. "It does make some sense when you think about it. Vigilante or not, Spider-Man has made multiple enemies. Why else would American villains come here?"

"Maybe they have beef with All Might? He sometimes helps out overseas." noted Kyoka, but Momo shook her head in denial.

"Unlikely. While it is true that All Might has done many things to foil villany even across the seas, I don't think those two came here for him." she told them, as a look of horror grew in Valerie's face.

Before anyone could do anything, Van Dyne turned around and started to run. The others were taken by surprise, not expecting something like this to happen. However, they had to ignore whatever it was that they were thinking of chasing after her. Who knows if there's a villain hidden somewhere around that could sneak on her.

"Where's Vector going?!" asked Ojiro.

"We can ask her later! First, we must make sure nothing bad happens to her!" she said, as they all started to run after her.

"Kaminari, time to go!" Kyoka told the blonde kid, who soon enough started to walk… in the other direction. "The other way, you moron!" she yelled, as the blonde kid started to walk in the correct direction this time around.

However, said task may prove itself difficult. She was somewhat faster than them, plus she could teleport. It would be really hard to even get near her as they were at the moment. Meanwhile, the blue girl was running frantically. The idea of something, anything happening to the redhead was too much for her to handle. Too much for her to try and ignore. She had to do something, dammit! So, she ran. She ran in search of her friend. She turned everything else off, deafening herself to make sure there were no distractions…

"Hey, if it makes you feel better, I can tell you a little something about me. Deal?"

And yet, she still heard that.


My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - Idiotic Geniouses!

"I can't thank you enough for this Susan." said a somewhat relieved Janet Van Dyne.

"Don't mention it Jan. It's kind of refreshing to know that now I'm not the only one who has to deal with that." replied Susan Richards.

"Oh, ha, ha. Very funny." the Avenger replied.

Janet Van Dyne and Susan Reechards, two of the pillars of the hero community. The Avenging Wasp and the Fantastic Invisible Woman. When it comes to the greatest of female heroes, it is hard to top these two. They have seen and done it all, and then some. From exploring worlds beyond understanding, to stopping threats that could wipe intergalactic empires from the face of the cosmos. One would think that they would have a really important reason to be in the presence of the other. Maybe, Graviton suddenly started to drop cities from the sky and they needed help to round him up. Maybe the Mole Man was trying to create a doomsday device that would destroy the surface once and for all. Or perhaps Annihilus and his annihilation wave were in the midst of a war against Korvac and the Earth was about to become the grounds of their final battle.

Or perhaps… it was simply two mothers letting some steam with someone that could understand what the other one was going.

It was no secret that the marriage of the Invisible Woman and Mr Fantastic would result in quite the special child. And of course not only did it happen once, but twice. And while their firstborn certinately have gifts of his own, it was his younger sister the one that was blessed with an intellect so great, it is said to be superior to even that of both Mr Fantastic and Dr doom. Of course, having such a brilliant prodigy could be… challenging to say the least.

By the age of six, Reed Richards was already dismantling anything that he could get his hands on and making them a million times better. At the age of four, Valerie Richards was already solving equations that have troubled scientists for years in one afternoon. And now, Janet was in practically the same boat.

Some months ago, a girl dressed in a suit similar to her own appeared in an Avengers compound. She claimed to be the long lost daughter of the late Henry Pym. Quite the bold assumption to make, but one that ended up being true. So, since the girl had nowhere to go and after some talks here and there, Janet decided to adopt her. She is incredible and the founding Avenger has not shied to admit that she was one of the best things to have ever happened to her. Nadia was an unstoppable marvel that believed that she could change the world. And if they were to ask her adoptive mother, she believed she could… which was as much of a blessing as it was a trial on its own.

So, at the moment the two heroines were at E.S.U New York. Why? Because some of the brightest minds of the future foundation and Avengers Academy were currently working on a little side project of their own. Nothing too big, just a quantum-powered engine. Janet decided to bring Nadia in so that she could surround herself with people more her speed. Not like she was a petty when it came to hanging out with people, but she believed that maybe this could make things easier for her.

"You know Susan? I always thought that you were inspiring. You know, the way you could manage to be a member of the Fantastic Four while also being the head of your family. And now that I have a girl of my own… wow, we didn't give you enough credit. I sometimes don't know what to do."

"Trust me, you're not doing that bad."

"Thanks, well at least I got lucky and skipped the whole dippers thing." Janet joked.

"Trust me, you're not missing much." she said.

The two of them were currently on a bench, having small talk while the kids were doing their thing. Not like they needed that much supervision, all of them were geniuses capable of many things… at least that's what they keep telling themselves.

"Seriously, I find it kind of adorable that she forgets to wear pants when she thinks about stuff, but… should I be worried?"

"Just pray that Nadia is a little more responsible about things. You have no idea how many times I had to stop her from turning the toaster into a death laser when she was a kid."

"Thank god for that. Don't worry, the mist she has done so far was shrinking the t.v so that ants could see Honey I shrunk the Kids!"

"You're kidding?!"

"God I wish I did! But it's not like we haven't done things like that before."

"Well, sometimes I'm a little jealous of a certain friend of the family. His kid is smart enough to do just as much as Nadia and Val, but is more well-behaved. At least she doesn't turn their appliances into self-replicating nano drones. God I wish she could hang out with Val more. Maybe then, she could learn to not go overboard from time to time."

"Then why don't you invite her more often?" asked the Avenger.

"Let's just say that… it's complicated." answered the cosmic-powered heroine.

"Well, maybe you could present her to Nadia? She could-" Janet was about to say, but an explosion happened nearby.

More specifically, where the kids were.

The two women of power arrived soon at the site of the explosion, expecting for some villain to show up. Instead, they saw a bunch of young scientists in the middle of a crater. Taking notes as if nothing had happened.

"What in the world happened here?!" asked the Wasp.

"Oh, hi Jan!"

"Valerie!"

"It's nothing serious mom. Honestly, we just made a minor miscalculation in our calculations. That 's all."

"Please tell me you didn't accidentally create a rip in the space-time continuum." sighed Susan.

"Don't worry mom, it was just a small explosion. Nothing serious happened."

"Except for a piece of debris that was sent flying." said a moloid, much to the terror of the two women.

"What?!"

"Don't worry guys. By my calculations, that thing is probably going to crash into the Hudson River. We can always-"

"Did you take into account the magnetic pull of the poles?" asked a girl with what looked like some sort of Iron Man suit replica.

"... Oh… well, I'm sure things are going to be fine."

Meanwhile, somewhere in Queens, Annie was working on some sort of apparatus with her sister watching her in the backyard of their house.

"Seriously, what's wrong with the good-old and reliable volcano?" asked Mayday.

"Pff, please. That's childsplay. But this… this is going to definitely get me that big trophy!"

Before them, was some machine with what looked to be some sort of solar panel attached to it. However, one would think that it was some sort of athena more than anything else. Mayday thought that it was tacky, but she knew better than to question her sister and her big brain. Besides, dad told them that it looked ok, so it probably was.

"Explain to me, why does your solar panel look so weird?"

"Because I specifically ordered the micro solar cells in a way that would be more efficient for them to absorb the sun's rays. Combine that with the specialized silicon mixture that I made, which will convert 89.54% of the available sunlight into energy and first place here I go!" she said.

Annie then pressed a button and the machine came to live. She said that the machine, whatever it was, required about the same amount of energy to function as a department building. But she was confident that her invention would suffice. And from the looks of it, hse may be right.

"Well, I'll be damned! Your weird piece of junk actually works!"

"See! With this bad boy as my project, there ain't no way that I, Anna-May Parker, could ever lose the-" she was saying, until their spider-sense rang.

Before they knew it, something came crashing into the machine and ruining it completely. Three and a half months worth of work and trash-diving gone. Just like that. The two girls stood there, the older padding the younger one in the back. Trying to tell her that she can always make the volcano spew chocolate if she wanted.

"B-But I… It was… What?!" she murmured, looking down and seeing something that wasn't from her invention. Something with a peculiar logo that was easily recognizable. "GRRRR! RICHAAAAARDS!" she shouted.

Meanwhile, back at E.S.U, Valerie sneezed. And she wasn't sure why, but it felt like there was soon to be a reckoning.
