After principal Nezu gave word that classes were canceled and for students to head to the entrance of the school and wait for further instructions, it was no surprise that the atmosphere grew to be quite wary. Most of the first year students… no. Most of the students, period, were nervous and somewhat scared. Just how come the school issued a dismissal of classes like that? They managed to get their answer soon enough.

A villain attack.

Not a simulacrum for emergency cases. Not a misunderstanding like what happened on Wednesday. A full on villain attack.

The students didn't know the details themselves. They weren't aware of the number of villains, how dangerous they were, or even where it was that they attacked. They were mostly kept in the dark about that. In part to try and not escalate their wariness more than it was already. But it was mainly because a lot of the faculty outside of the main hero faculty had yet to be informed of all the details themselves. To an extent, the faculty belonging to the general and management courses mainly understood. None of them were prepared to deal with the works of heroes. Even those of the support course knew very little if not the same as the other two courses. But they all trusted their principal. Once this was over, they were sure that he and the other teachers would inform them of what happened.

Right now, the thing that mattered the most, was keeping their students safe and sound. The teachers and the rest of available personnel were to try and keep order among the students, mainly the first years. Meanwhile, the few staff of the hero course, as well as the rest of the hero course students of the school (mainly those of the third year) were to try and help in any way possible. Right now, a big blonde third year student of the hero course was trying to calm everyone by assuring them how everything would be alright. He seemed to be very energetic and was accompanied by two other third year students. One was a boy of balck hair who to those who watch a ton of shows and whatnot, may look like your stereotypical bad boy of the show, but in truth was very shy. The other one was a girl of large blue hair with equal blue eyes. She seemed like the upbeat kind of girl that gets easily distracted and asks a lot of questions to people that she has met… like a lot.

However, to one general course student, Hitoshi Shinso, he couldn't care less about any of that. Right now, he was trying to look for the hero course students of the first year. As of now, most of the students of the school were all already assembled at the entrance, with a few exceptions. And as it turns out, two of those exceptions were class 1-A and class 1-B. That fact made the purple-haired boy more nervous than an aquatic creature finding itself in the vicinity of a killer whale feeding frenzy. His nerves were somewhat put at ease when he saw class 1-B coming arriving with the rest of the classes. They were accompanied by two of the hero course faculty, those being Snipe and Vlad King. The two hero teachers were talking to two of their students for a bit after arriving. Those two were Robbie Reyes and Itsuka Kendo, otherwise known as class B's representative and vice-representative. Although, you wouldn't know that unless you were in class B, or like Shinso, knew someone of that class. After their brief talk, the students nodded to their teachers. Then, the teachers told something to the rest of the class as they started to approach the nearest teacher, which was class C's homeroom teacher Ibiki Abe. They probably told them to stay put, since they were accompanied by the heads of the class as well.

"Abe-dono." the blood hero said, respectfully addressing the general course teacher.

"Oh, Vlad King-san, Snipe-san, it's good to see that you and your class are safe." he told them.

"Thankfully the villains weren't near us." Snipe told the teacher. "We were ordered by the principal to accompany him and other teachers to help in dealing with the villain invasion after making sure that our students were safe."

"I see…" the teacher said, as Shinso decided to try and listen to as much of the conversation as possible. "You wouldn't happen to know what's happening, would you?"

"We do to an extent, but unfortunately we don't have enough time to fill you in on the situation." Snipe told the teacher, who nodded.

"Understandable. It is more important for those capable such as yourselves to go and help in any way possible. I just hope it's not as dire as some of the students think."

"Don't worry, Abe-san. We'll make sure of that." Snipe told the older man, as Vlad signaled the two students to step front.

"These two are Reyes Roberto and Kendo Itsuka, the president and vice-president of my class. If there's anything that you need, please do and approach them. They may be young, but are quite reliable."

"It's a pleasure, Abe-sensei." Kendo said as she made a bow to the teacher in front of her.

"Nice meeting you, sir." the boy told the man, who noticed the slight accent of the boy.

"I see that the two are quite manerful aren't they?"

"We are hero course students, it's our duty to be as approachable and respectful as possible." Kendo said.

"Well said, Kendo!" Vlad told his class president, with some pride being heard in his voice. "I trust you two will help Abe-dono in keeping order with the rest of the students?" he asked.

"Sir."

"You can count on us, Vlad-sensei!" the two told him as he nodded.

"We should take our leave now." Snipe suggested.

"Yes indeed. Good luck to you two." Abe told the heroes, who nodded and left to join the efforts of the retaliation of the villains.

"Is there anything that you need us taking care of, Abe-sensei?" asked Kendo.

"No, for the time being I think there's nothing in particular." he assured the girl before turning to the other boy. "Si te hace sentir mejor, puedes hablarme en español. Tuve una mayor en lenguaje y soy fluente en siete idiomas diferentes." he told them in spanish, surprising pretty much everyone.

Kendo herself was taken aback by this. She only knew the most basics of the basics of English and here this teacher is talking to them in spanish?! She can hardly understand when someone asks where the library is in english, but this was probably like seeing someone with a familiar face speaking an alien language from the stars above! Sentiment that was most likely shared by his students if the expression on their faces were anything to go by.

Robbie had to blink a couple of times to recover from the shock and replied to the teacher. "Um… gracias señor, pero no hay necesidad… en especial porque el inglés es el idioma que he usado más en mi vida cotidiana." Robbie answered in spanish as well?!

She was aware that he had an accent when speaking her native language, but she thought that everyone in California sounded like that! Especially considering that the redhead and white-haired girls of class A and Khan all had different accents. She thought that the people of the States all had different accents based on where they came from, like how it sometimes was in Japan. But apparently she was wrong.

"Oh, I see. Well, I must say that it is quite impressive that a boy your age is as fluent in three different languages as you are. I can see that you have a bright future ahead of you, young man." the teacher said… in english now?!

"Thanks, sir, but I think you may be exaggerating a bit." Robbie said, now in japanese?!

Ok, they may have understood that last bit, but at this point they thought that Reyes was just showing off!

"W-Well, if you need us we'll be around." Kendo told the teacher, trying her best to recover from the language whiplash.

The teacher of class C nodded and they parted ways… or at least they would have if not for the fact that one of class C got close to them and looked at the vice-president of class B. Everyone saw this and wondered what it was that the reserved purple-haired boy wanted to say. Some at first thought that he was about to try and badmouth the hero course for whatever reason. It was no secret in the school that most of the students belonging to the general course hated those on the hero course. It was mainly the first year students, but truth be told, some of their seniors still held the tiniest grudge to the hero course till this day. And it was no secret that Shinso of all of class C hated them the most. And perhaps… perhaps the Shinso of the past may be inclined to do that now… but a lot has happened since January.

He got to meet his first real friend, get to expand his idea of what's right through her and later on, through the others that came after her. The only people he deemed worthy of the hero course. Even if his anger towards the other hero students was noticeable, he would no longer lower himself to such distasteful actions… and especially not to one of his friends.

Reyes was first to notice the way he was looking at him. He turned towards his companion of class B and told her to give him a minute. She was a little unsure at first. After all, they were in a moment of crisis. Their teachers were clear when they told them to look after those who couldn't fend for themselves and help to keep peace for the time being. But… she decided that maybe a minute wouldn't do any wrong. So, she went her way as the enforcer of class B stayed back. Shiso was about to ask for permission, but it seemed like his teacher may have some mind reading quirk… either that or he was just really good at reading people.

"Go on. Just, please do and try to keep it brief." he told his student in a calm manner.

Shinso nodded and went to where the hero course student was. Meanwhile back at the U.S.J compound, there was a momentary silence. Nomu had been defeated, Supercharger was trapped in an ice prison and most of the other villains were at the moment unconscious. Most of the students were finally out of harm's way, with perhaps the exception of maybe one or two students that were still nowhere to be seen. And through the wreckage stood one man. Nay, one symbol, that despite the odds being stacked against him, managed to triumph in the face of adversity and remain strong to both his students as well as the fools that dared attack them. And although he could feel his power already passed its limit as steam started to come out of his body, he would not allow himself to be seen as less by the villains.

Speaking of, the leader of the League of Villains was currently cursing at the situation in which he found himself in.

"No… that can't be… I was told you were getting weaker, but that's not it at all…! Was I lied about it?" he asked himself in both rage as well as wariness.

"...What's the matter? Where did all that bravado of yours go? You said that you had come here to clear the game, right? To end the Symbol of Peace?" asked All Might, for despite being on his last leg, still let out such an overwhelming pressure to the villain in front of him. "Then come and see if you can!" he dared, making the villain feel fear as he backed away a bit.

And not that far from where they stood, the students of class A were watching the exchange with quite the impression.

"There's the Symbol of Peace for you, perhaps we're no longer needed here." Shoto said to the group.

"Understatement of the century." Anni replied to the boy of dual hair color. "Huh, guess now I know what all the fuss about All Might was about."

"I-I think we should go back w-with the others now that e-everything seems to be fine… j-just in case, you know?" Valerie suggested as Kirishima noddedn.

"Yeah, it would be bad if any of us were to get used as hostages."

But as they all discussed their next course of action, Midoriya watched carefully at the Symbol of Peace. In a way far more careful that the rest of his classmates did. They didn't understand what he did and that was all due to the smoke getting mixed up with the steam coming from the hero's body. That meant… that meant that he was about to revert to his other form, didn't it?

And he would be right, for All Might had to hand it to the villains. That 'Nomu' creature was certinately strong, a little too much for his liking. Truth was, he couldn't move even if his life depended on it. For if he did, the ruse would be over and he would snap back to his other form faster than the blink of an eye. He could only do one thing and that was to remain still. To use whatever time he had left to intimidate the villains. He prayed to any god or cosmic being that took their time to listen for either help arriving as soon as possible, or for the villains to take the bait and scurry back to whatever hole they came from.

"Well? I'm waiting!" he dared as the head villain started to curse even more intensely than before.

"No… if only Nomu were still here… then he would deal with you in just an instant…! He would-"

"Tomura Shigaraki, please calm yourself." Kurogiri said, no doubt referring to the leader of the League. "Look closely, Nomu was indeed successful in causing damage to All Might." he told the leader.

Tomura took a breath of air to calm himself as he was told and looked as carefully as possible. Indeed, there was quite a lot of damage in the body of the number one hero. From bruises, to bleeding to perhaps more. And he was far from the only one, for the redhead of class A also saw this as well. She may be also a bit past her limit, but her enhanced sight also managed to see it despite the smoke blocking some of her view… wait.

"Is… is some of it coming from him?" she questioned, believing that the many hits to her head were already starting to make her see things.

And just as she started to question that, she started to notice that a few of the criminals were starting to move. And then, they started to pick themselves up, seemingly recovering from All Might's attack.

"Look, our forces are getting back as we speak. While it's true that reinforcements are coming, there is still a chance of victory." Kurogiri said, as now most of their forces had come back to their senses. "I propose that if we join our forces, we can still come on top."

"... Yeah… you're right… after all…" Tomura Shigaraki said, now no longer being on the edge as he was before. "... How can we fail in defeating the final boss?"

And with Supercharger, he saw the rest of the criminals all getting back up, ready for another round at the forces of the heroes. He tried to break free from his icy prison, but it seemed futile. That enraged the man like nothing before. Was that seriously it?

"Ronald, look! Dr. Richards and his crew… they've changed somehow."

Was this as far as he would get?

"That bodyguard Tony Stark has sure has some impressive armor, wouldn't you agree?"

Was he condemned to fail yet again?

"Homo superior… if I remember correctly, that was what Charles Xavier hypothesised would be the next step of evolution."

To see his ideals shatter before him?

"Come son, I'm sure that we can pull off with this generator of ours."

Was this fate's plan for him?

"It… it's going to be ok! This is just a minor-"

"No… I won't allow it." Supercharger said, as he grit his teeth and soon enough energy started to crackle around him "I won't let this be the end of my ambition!" he yelled as he unleashed an amount of electricity powerful enough to break the ice prison surrounding him as if it were nothing. After which, he stood tall, looking at where the redhead was and glaring with hateful eyes.

"Oh swell, sparky's out." Annie complained.

"And he seems pretty angry." Ejiro said, putting up his guard as well as the other students of class A present at the field.

"Gee, didn't notice it before." the natural redhead told the dyed redhead with a dried tone.

"It was probably because of all the fighting that you didn't notice." Todoroki said.

"Was this guy raised in a dungeon or what?!"

"Um, T-Todoroki, I think Annie was being sarcastic."

"... Oh."

"Would you extras stop slacking off and start paying attention?! For fuck sake!"

As for Midoriya, he was still focusing his sight on All Might. He was trying to analyze what would happen if they were to ignore the hero's bluff and launch to him. Possibility that was becoming more and more real by the second. The shadow guy was by far the biggest threat. He was smart, cunning and probably knew how to best dispose of All Might in his current condition. The other guy was also dangerous too. One touch on the right place and it would be all done for. Topple all of that with the fact that his mentor/childhood hero was at the edge of his absolute limit and things weren't looking pretty. However, if he had not focused too much on the hero and the two villains, he might have heard that his name was being called out with some distress. It wasn't until he felt as if someone had grabbed the back of his uniform that he snapped back to reality.

It was then that he turned back that he saw Parker, looking as on-edge as possible. He then noticed a faint magenta light hitting her face. Before he could even ask what was going on, Parker tossed him away with one arm and as he was in the air, he noticed something that was completely new to him. There was some kind of magenta marble heading for where they stood. And as it hit the ground, an explosion occurred, one that was probably larger than even the ones caused by Kachan. The force was enough to force everyone to brace themselves. Thankfully most of the others managed to move out of the way on their own free will. Unfortunately, because of the fact that Parker had to take time to get him out of harm's way, she wasn't able to get as far as the others. As a result, she was a bit closer to the epicenter of the explosion and was hit by part of its power.

She was later sent flying a few meters away, with the other classmates of hers watching it all with wide eyes. She then landed with a loud THUD, with her right side hitting the ground. And as if that wasn't enough, they also heard what they thought was a POP sound as well. And they didn't need to try and guess what it was since they later on heard Parker complain as she held her right shoulder.

"Again with the shoulder?! Really?! Couldn't you at least dislocate the other one this time?!" she yelled, knowing full well who was responsible for the surprise attack.

Looking up, they saw that not that far from them, was that civilian looking villain. She was flying well over three meters from the ground, was surrounded by a wild magenta aura and was surrounded by four marbles of a similar color, if only a couple of shades off. Also, she looked very, very livid as well.

"You dropped a bunch of crap on top of me… that hurt." she said in a dead serious tone as her eyes glowed. "Stay still and I might do what you just told me."

"Great, the crazy marble lady is back." Annie muttered as she did her best to try and stand up. Sure, she was in pain at the time, but dammit if she was going to let those clowns have the satisfaction of seeing her on the ground. "Don't know what's more annoying. The fact that you just dropped like that, or that your freaking jacket doesn't look the least messed up."

"So, you're back." Supercharger said, addressing the other American criminal.

"Yeah, so do me a solid and stay put. I have a spider-runt to squash."

"You've lost your chance when she escaped you. Now, she's mine to slay."

"Doesn't work like that. I already called dibs on her. So if anyone decides how she goes from an 'is' to a 'was', then that's me."

"What the… WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TWO WANT HER SPECIFICALLY WHEN I'M RIGHT HERE, DAMMIT!"

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY PISSED THAT THEY WANT ME DEAD INSTEAD OF YOU?!" Annie yelled at the ash-blonde, before turning to the duo of villains with a somewhat force smug on her face. "Tsk, come on, there's no need to fight over moi. There's plenty of me to go around." she joked as Joey looked at the girl and smiled.

"You know what? Maybe you're right. Who's to say that we can't send you to the end of the tunnel together?" Joey said, turning to the other villain. "What about it? Want to do like wolves and make this a joint effort?"

"... She already escaped the two of us separately. Perhaps if it is the two of us, she would remain dead this time."

"That's the spirit." Joey said.

She then hurled the four marbles to the other students once she noticed how they looked like they were about to try and make a move. The marbles then expanded and trapped Ejiro, Shoto and Katsuki all in spherical magenta prisons. She noticed how the forth one did not hit its mark and when she turned to where the blue girl was supposed to be, she saw nothing.

"That one seems to be able to teleport herself and other things." Supercharger told his teammate.

"I can see that."

"What the-"

"This is a private party. You runts just stay and watch." Joey told the three teenagers as she turned to where the redhead New Yorker was, only to find the trembling blue girl standing in front of her with her arms wide open. "The same goes for you, white-haired smurfette."

"I gave her the same option but she refused it." Supercharger told Joey.

"Tsk, fine by me. What's another blood stain on this place anyways?" she said, as both she and her current partner were prepared to attack.

And they weren't the only ones, for both Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri rushed to where the bleeding Symbol of Peace was. They weren't going to let this slide. Nomu will be avenged! And it looks like they'll be victorious as the hero could not move a muscle. It looked as if they all had danger surrounding them all around and them being unable to properly do anything about it… Or at least, so it seemed.

In the blink of an eye, Midoriya jumped towards the villains in front of All Might with speeds comparable to the hero in question. The fact that he moved that fast was enough to get the villains attention even if just for a second in the case of both of the American criminals. As for Midoriya, he had broken both of his legs despite what he had accomplished before. But still, he didn't care, for he did this to save All Might. For only this was the secret that only he knew.

"Let go of All Might!" he yelled once he was within reach.

He attempted to attack at the concealed part of Kurogiri's body so as to send the villain flying. Unfortunately, as he was still on the air, a hand came out of the mist covering the villain. As it turns out, it was one of Tomura Shigaraki's hands. He tried to lay all five fingers on the boy's body and once he did, it would be game over. And as the hand drew closer and closer to Midoriya, as danger grew more and more to the students all around… the villain's hand was striked by a bullet.

"GHAAA!" he exclaimed, pulling his hand back and holding it with his other hand.

And literally just as that happened, two blurs struck the American villains away from the two foreigner students. And when they saw who it was, their eyes widened. For they saw the turbo hero Ingenium throwing one powerful right strike at Supercharger in the gut and the at the moment not-so friendly web slinger Spider-Girl kneeing Joey in her face. The two were sent back by about a couple of meters, landing on their backs with a loud THUD. Supercharger had the air almost completely expelled from him and Joey having to hold her bleeding nose while also dissolving the spheres that had the boys trap.

"Sis!" Annie exclaimed with joy at the sight of her older sister.

"We are regrettably sorry for our tardiness. Those two showed up and offered their aid." said a voice that not many students of class A were familiar with. But afterwards, they heard one that was more familiar to them.

"Class 1-A president, Ida Tenya! Reporting for duty!!!" shouted Ida, as he stood in front of the entrance alongside most of the school's hero faculty.

It didn't take long for the heroes to start their own attack against the villains. There were some that tried to get up the stairs to attack, but Present Mic took action quickly. He stepped up and took a deep breath. Afterwards, he let out one loud yell that was more than enough to shatter the windows of an entire street. It managed to stunt the villains and allowed some of the other heroes to start to apprehend them. Ingenium rushed to knock down a few villains that tried to sneak on Bakugo, Todoroki and Kirishima, easily taking them down. As for Spider-Girl, well, she had some issues to attend to at the moment.

"Shit! That hurt like-" Joey was complaining, but was forced to put on a bubble shield to try and protect her from the older spider-themed individual.

Key word being 'try'. For despite the fact that it could take the punishment given to by the redhead girl, it couldn't protect her from the older Parker's wrath. She had rushed at her and threw a punch that had enough power to shatter the bubble shield surrounding the criminal and connecting with her jaw. Joey was sent backwards due to the strength the older spider had and boy was she stronger than her sister because that hurt like a ton of bricks.

"I'll just ask this once…" Spider-Girl said in a very serious tone as she started to walk towards the criminal as she cracked her knuckles. "What made you think that messing with my baby sister was a good idea?!" she said in a not-so friendly manner while glaring at the woman in front of her.

Then her spider sense rang as she jumped away from where she was. The reason for that turned out to be a bolt of electricity coming from Supercharger, who despite being hurt and tired, was still able to stand up and attack the heroine. He tried to make another attempt, but was foiled when Spider-Girl shot a string of webs at his chest. She then pulled him towards her and then kicked him quite hard. At least hard enough to send him flying and crashing into Joey. She was about to proceed in the beating of the villains, but had to stop when a few of the villains tried to sneak on her. She quickly dispatched of them however, flipping and dodging their attempts of hitting her with zero effort all while knocking them down with kicks and hits. There was one large villain that tried to hit her with all he could, but the heroine simply catched his fist effortlessly. Then, she simply pulled him down to meet her eyes and backhand him hard enough to knock him down in just one hit.

"Damn they all came… and they're actually kind of good…" Tomura Shigaraki said as he watched the many heroes besting his forces with little effort. "Well… I guess it's back to the drawing boa-GUU!!!" he yelped in pain as another bullet hit his shoulder, then another one hit his other shoulder and a couple more hit him in other parts of his body.

None of them were lethal blows, but the villain still fell to the ground in pain.

"Tomura Shigaraki!" yelled Kurogiri as he protected the young villain with his quirk.

The bullets kept on hitting, but using his quirk, he managed to render their efforts useless for the moment. They were about to try and teleport away, but they were starting to be sucked back by some sort of force. That force was none other than NO.13, who managed to get close enough to use her quirk and foil their escape. Perhaps if she had suffered more damage from her battle against the villain, she would not have the strength to completely keep them at bay. But that wasn't the case, she was almost at her best now and she was not going to let the villains get away after harming her students and colleges. Her efforts may had worked if not for the electric blast hitting her back and stopping her from her efforts.

The one responsible for the attack was once again Supercharger, who managed to get back up and helped Joey back on her feet.

"Time to leave." he told her, much to her opposition.

"Like hell I will. I ain't leaving until the web-head's runts are six feet under!" she yelled.

"And how will you accomplish that if you're outnumbered?" he asked her. "The two of us have our own ambitions, but if we want to make them come true… we'll have to try and accomplish them another day. As much as we hate the idea." he told her as the woman cursed, for he was onto something.

But before leaving, she turned to where the redhead and the blue girl were and glared at the daughter of he who she hates the most. "Next time… you won't be as lucky." she said before moving to where Kurogiri was.

"We may have failed today… but we'll get you next time." Tomura Shigaraki said as he looked at the hero who was responsible for their fall. "All Might, the Symbol Of Peace!" he cried out before he and his companions all vanished.

Spider-Girl had seen their attempt to escape and as she was fending off the other criminals, she raised her right arm and aimed at the villains. However instead of the usual sign that she usually did when shooting her webs, she formed a fist and something from the top of her web-shooter was shot at them. Unfortunately, Kurogiri was a tad bit faster and had teleported away before it had reached any of them.

"Dammit." she cursed as she knocked the last of the criminals.

Soon enough, there was a deafening silence all around the compound. Most of the villains had already been defeated. The danger was now over… but there was a sense of defeat on most of the students. They were supposed to be the best the country had to offer when it came to hero course students. Some had quite powerful abilities of their own… But that didn't matter in the end. They witnessed the world of the pros in a way that none thought they would just yet. And… none of them were ready for it just yet.

"I… I felt so useless… I couldn't do anything…" Midoriya cried in frustration, as he laid on the ground with his broken legs.

"Not exactly, kid…" All Might told his successor as the dust started to dissipate near their area. Midoriya looked up and saw that the hero's visage was already starting to return to his other form. While his left half was still in his musclelar form, the other half was that of his weakened true form. "If you hadn't given me those precious moments, then I would no longer be standing here… You saved me once more, my boy." he told the green-haired kid, who smiled and teared up a little, happy to see his mentor was safe.

As for the New Yorker of red hair, she looked around at what had happened. The fact that the bad guys managed to escape did leave a sour taste in her mouth. That and the fact that she got beat up as badly as she did alongside everything from before and it was safe to say that today was really, really not her day. But on the bright side, it seems like there weren't many injuries as far as she could tell. Excluding her, hobo teach Aizawa and now Izuku who looked like he had broken his legs, it seemed as if the others only had minor injuries at most… well, that and long lasting trauma, but hey, a teenager has to teenager. She was sure that they would have traumatized themselves in any other way. She also managed to overheard that the teachers were also not happy that the leading criminals escaped, but that at the moment, they should get the students to safety. Yeah, that was probably the best call.

"Parker, stay there, I'm coming to help!" Kirishima yelled as he called for the other redhead of class A.

"Uh? Come on, Ejiro, I'm fine. Or do you really think that a bunch of D listers could-" she was saying, trying to take a step, but as she did, it seemed like the adrenaline that was keeping her up for all of the commotion had finally run out.

It was as if her weight gave in and her feet could no longer keep her standing. She was about to fall face first into the ground while the other boys of her class saw from afar but were unable to reach her on time. And try as she wanted, her body couldn't react to recover her footing. However, before she could reach the ground, someone caught her. Annie managed to slowly turn to her left side, where she felt someone's presence and saw who it was who caught her. Valerie, it was Valerie. She was also tired, a bit shaky at that and looked rather concerned with the wellbeing of the redhead. But when their eyes met with one another, Valerie gave her best friend a gentle smile, glad to see that she was still conscious. In turn, Annie gave her a reassuring grin that told the blue Van Dyne that everything was a.o.k.

"I-I'll get her out! D-Don't worry!" she told the boys from afar, who nodded.

"Wait up, Valerie! I'm helping you get that nut job of a sister to a doctor! You also looked pretty tired!" Spider-Girl as she went to where the two girls were to help them get out.

"Well, I guess that's taken care of." Kirishima said as he then saw that while Parker may have someone helping out, Midoriya was another story entirely different. "Hey Midoriya, are you alright?!" he asked the boy on the ground as he started to head over there.

On any other day, such action would have moved the heart of All Might. Such heroic intentions. Such a bright and caring heart. He just wanted to praise the young man for it and tell him that one day, he would grow into quite the hero.

… Now though.

"Kirishima, my boy not now! Not while I'm like this! Please go back, else my secret will be discovered!" he was thinking hysterically.

Thankfully, salvation came in a massive wall between the two injured individuals and everyone else.

"The faculty would like all students to have a check for any injury. So please gather with your classmates at the front of the gate." Cementos, the one responsible for the wall, told Kirishima. "Don't worry about the injured, we'll take care of it. So please, leave this task to your senseis."

"Oh, ok sir!" Kirishima said as he started to head back with the others, much to the relief of Midoriya and All Might.

"Thank you, Cementos. That was quite the save." the Symbol of Peace said, as he sat on the ground.

"Well, I'm a big fan of yours. So I thought it would be best to keep your true form hidden while we head to the infirmary. But please try and not to overdo it next time." Cementos said, with a smile to his college.

Cementos: Quirk - Cement!

He's able to manipulate concrete as easily as if it were clay! He's quite the powerhouse in the concrete jungles of the modern world!

All Might nodded as he took a deep breath. If he hadn't gone that far, he would have died no question. Then again, that just shows just how formidable these foes truly are.

Somewhere in the city, inside a bar that was a bit hard to find, a portal was formed. A dark cloud suddenly appeared in the middle of the establishment and from it, certain individuals came. First was Tomura Shigaraki, who's injured body landed on the floor, covering it with his flesh blood, coming from the bullet wounds that he received. Then, the two American criminals Joey and Supercharger, who although still able to stand up, were exhausted beyond belief. Joey still had her hand on her bleeding and possibly broken nose, while Supercharger was holding his abdomen most of all. Although he felt that there were probably a few broken ribs as well and probably some frostbite as well. Finally after everyone made it out of the portal, Kurogiri manifested himself in a humanoid form. Dressed in his usual somewhat fancy wardrobe.

"Ow… We… we were utterly defeated… Even Nomu was defeated and our underlings were mostly rounded up… even those damn brats were stronger than they reasonably should…" Tomura Shigaraki cursed as he laid on the floor. "And worse of all… the Symbol of Peace still lives…! You were wrong, sensei…!"

"Oh, far from it. I was simply a tad bit optimistic on our success." a voice suddenly said, through the monitor in the bar. One… that demanded respect even if the person was not there physically.

"Good thing you did it under the cheap alias of 'The League of Villains', eh?" said another voice, although this one didn't sound as respectful as the other one.

"Yeah, for all the good it fucking did to us." Joey grunted, as she went to look for some towels for her bleeding nose.

"By the way, what about Master and I's joint effort? Where is Nomu?" the other voice said.

"Your creation was dispatched by All Might if that's what you're referring to." Supercharger said, as he went to take a seat to rest for a bit. "He should be in police custody by now."

"What?!"

"Unfortunately, without any coordinates, even I would not be able to find him and bring him back." Kurogiri cursed.

"It can't be… and after all we did to make sure he could be All Might's equal in terms of power?!"

"You sure did a lot of big talk…" Joey said, covering her nose with some towels that she found. "But when it came time to act, your discount Hulk turned out to be a shitty disappointment."

"What was that?!"

"Now, now, let us all calm down." the other respectful voice said. "We may have underestimated him as well. It cannot be helped no matter how unfortunate."

"Power… there were two runts… who ruined things…"

"... Oh, is that so?"

"One of them had speed equal to All Might's and the other one did nothing but mock us while also warning All Might about Nomu's strengths… If not for those kids… If not for those damn kids!"

"Well, that's quite interesting. Although, who was it again the one to mock you?"

"It was Spider-Man's spawn." Supercharger stated. "She managed to find a way to keep your Nomu at bay. And that kid that he mentioned is probably on par with All Might in terms of power."

"I see… guess I was right, it seems like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then. Well, as regretfully as everything turned out to be, this was not a complete waste as you may think. So gather an elite, take as much time as you need to heal and prepare. We may not be able to move as freely as we want… but that… that is why we have a symbol like you… my boy." the respectful voice said, to his own successor. "Tomura Shigaraki, next time you act, show the world why they should fear you."

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen… well, it seems that outside of the boy with broken legs and the beat up girl, none of you seem to have suffered from any major harm." a police officer dressed in a trench coat and wearing a fedora told to the students in front of him.

All of the students (with the exceptions of Parker and Midoriya) were outside of the U.S.J compound. The criminals were all apprehended and taken outside to continue with the procedures. And after it, the students all had a moment to finally catch their breaths. They talked with one another, to try and calm their still ongoing nerves and learning that a lot of them had to fight a variety of thugs as well. For example, Tokoyami and Koda, who were probably the only ones that were still in the site that they were teleported to even after the battle ceased and the teachers came. Although even then, they still felt the battle between All Might and Nomu. Aoyama was also among the ones that none saw returning as well as Hagakure (which came to the surprise of none, given the nature of her quirk) and the boy of the laser quirk was constantly asking for the others to ask him where he was.

And he was ignored for a bit until Tsuyu asked.

"Ojiro-kun, V-chan, I heard that you two were all fired up! You two are so strong!" Hagakure told the tailed boy and the blue girl who were a tad bit nervous. Valerie more than Ojiro since she was naturally shy and that outside of Annie and maybe a bit Ojiro, she was not used to interacting with anyone in class.

… even if it may have looked like she was just talking to a pair of floating gloves.

"Oh, well I'm not sure about that. Vector was the one that did the most heavy lifting if I'm honest."

"T-That's not true. I-I wouldn't have done anything i-if not for you." Valerie told Ojiro.

"If you say so." he said as he turned to Hagakure… or at least where he thought Hagakure was. "By the way, were where you, Hagakure-san?"

"Oh, I was in the landslide zone with Todoroki-kun! He was really strong, you know?"

"That's so. Well, we're just glad that you're ok." Ojiro said with Valerie nodding.

"I didn't know she was there. I almost froze her too." Todoroki said as he then turned to where the Spider-Girl was and walked towards the American heroine on probation. "Could I ask you a question?" he said.

"Mm, oh yeah sure. You're… Shoto, right? Annie talks about her classmates from time to time." she asked with the boy nodding

"Todoroki Shoto, yes."

"Ok then, how can I help you?"

"Well, I noticed that while you were fighting, you seemed to have aimed at the escaping villains before they could get away. However, I couldn't see anything coming from the device on your wrist. So I was wondering if it could have malfunctioned?" he asked as he pointed at the heroine's web shooter.

"I see you are quite observant. That's good in this line of work, kid." she told him as Mayday started to pull something out of the top of her right web shooter.

The other students nearby were a bit curious and went to where their classmate and the American were. After a second or two, the arachnid heroine pulled out some sort of small object. It looked like some sort of disc in the shape of a round spider, or at least that's what most were thinking. The majority of the students looked at the small device with a curious look. All safe for Valerie and surprisingly Sero, who not only knew what it was, but was looking at it as if they were small children in a toy store.

"I was trying to hit them with one of these." she told the students.

"That's kind of tiny. What is it?" asked Kaminari, who seemed to have recovered from his previous state.

"This is a spider tracer."

"Spider tracer?" most of the students asked, as Spider-Girl began to explain.

"To skip the science mumbo jumbo and make a long story short, this is basically a tracking device." she told them, as most now started to look at the device with amaze and awe.

"Wait, really?!" asked Kirishima.

"Yeah, I can follow the signal that it emits within a five to eight miles radius. That's about… I want to say, eight to twelve something kilometers." she said.

"Wow, that's so cool!" the invisible girl exclaimed in excitement, sentiment that was shared by the rest of her classmates.

"Well, I still have a hard time tracking the signal on my own. It happens from time to time, but because of that, I also bring with me the tracking device for the spider tracers. And with it, the radius expands by a lot more. And I do mean a lot."

"That is quite an impressive assist tool to have in hand. I don't think many pros have anything like that on a daily basis." Momo said, impressed to see a hero having a device like that as standard equipment.

"I say, it's awesome!" Mina said as Jiro soon followed.

"It totally rocks!"

"Does that mean that we'll get awesome assist tools like that when we graduate?" asked the invisible student

"Don't know about the graduate part, but if you have the tools and the know-how to put things together like this, or know someone that does, then yeah. Then again, Annie mentioned that your school has some sort of course specialized in making stuff like that. So I guess you guys have that covered."

"Man, that's so manly! It's like you're a pro-hero and a spy all at once!" Kirishima said, as Mayday smiled behind her mask with a bit of pride.

"Well, I may not be the Black Widow, or Mockingbird. But I'm not too shabby if I do say so myself."

"Please stop wowing the kids, you're making me look less impressive." Tensei said, as he got to where his partner was.

"Brother!" Tenya said, glad to see his elder sibling.

"Hey Tenya, I heard what you did for the class. That's a job well done, little bro." he told to the younger Ida, who looked in awe at him before smiling with pride.

"Um, excuse me, detective." Tsuyu called to the man with the fedora.

"Yes?" he asked.

"I was wondering if you knew how's Aizawa-sensei doing?" she asked.

The detective understood her concern for her teacher. After all, the last time that she saw him, he looked to be in quite the bad shape. He probably could have looked worse if not for the first aid techniques that were given to him by the students. So, he made a call to see if they could give him an update on his current state. It seems like arms had comminuted fractures, alongside facial fractures. Thankfully, he didn't seem to have suffered from brain damage, so that was one thing less to worry about. However, they then learned that his orbital had been crushed. There may be the possibility that it could affect his eyesight, as well as the usage of his quirk, but that was still unsure.

Naturally, this worried the students.

He then said that All Might, who was the other faculty member to have been injured, seemed to not be in any sort of critical condition. That he was at the school's infirmary, which was more than able to treat his wounds. As for Thirteen, well she didn't receive any real injury. But she had decided to escort Parker to the infirmary as well. As a way to both make amends with the fact that she wasn't able to do as much to fight the villains as she wished she could have and to have a quick check up herself. Her suit may have taken the blunt might of that bolt of electricity, but she still wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with her. Especially considering that it did burn some of the costume.

"What about Deku-kun?" asked Uraraka.

"A-Annie too?"

"Oh right, the two students. Don't worry, they seem to be fine. They're at the infirmary as well, getting treated."

"That's a relief." Mayday said, with a grateful tone.

"Excuse me, I have to attend something. Sancha, could you make sure that the students return to their classroom safely?" he asked the other officer who saluted the detective to show that he understood. He looked a bit plain safe for one thing…

He had the head of a cat.

Kind of weird that it was not a dog.

As for the faculty of U.A, they were still inside of the facility. Examining where it was that the villains invaded.

"In any case, our current priority should be fortifying our security system to make sure this doesn't happen again." said principal Nezu to the other teachers. Mainly Snipe and a woman of black long hair and… lets just say a rather questionable hero costume.

"Thirteen and the students mentioned someone with a wrapping quirk. One far more honed than Van Dyne's own powers. It is a shame that such a gift fell into the hands of the villains." said the woman.

"Excuse me, but I did hear from one of the students that the group had a couple of foreigners with them, is that right?" asked the detective, who went inside the U.S.J compound to talk with the teachers.

"Yeah, a woman with some sort of forcefield-like ability and a man with electric powers." Snipe told them.

"Does the police have any idea as to who these individuals could be?" the woman asked.

"The woman is a complete mystery, but a couple of students gave me the name of who they think was the electric villain." the detective said, as he pulled a notebook to see the name that he wrote. "Apparently, he's some guy named Supercharge."

"Supercharger? I have never heard of anyone going by that name." Snipe said.

"Neither had I. To be honest, when I heard that a couple of American villains invaded, I was expecting someone more well-known. Like the Wrecking Crew, or Taskmaster."

"I have heard of that name." the principal said. "I may be mistaken, but I think he was the first proper super villain that Spider-Man ever fought."

"Is that so? Then I guess he's probably more well known in America." the detective said, only for the principal to chuckle.

"Oh, on the contrary, he's rather forgettable compared to other villains. The only reason I know that is that I decided to do some research when I saw that there was the possibility of having Spider-Man's daughter among one of U.A's students."

"As expected of you, sir." Snipe said as another officer came by.

"Detective Tsukauchi, sir! I've just received word that a villain was apprehended not that far from here!"

"What's his condition?" the detective asked.

"There doesn't seem to be any external injuries as far as we can tell. He also didn't show any signs of resistance and has yet to speak even a single sentence."

"I see… principal Nezu, would you mind if I did some investigation around the campus?"

"Oh no, please do! The public may undermine the efforts of the police when compared to pros, but when it comes to the hierarchy, your jurisdiction is superior to ours."

"I can agree with that sentiment." a voice said.

Turning to the entrance, they saw Spider-Girl walking towards them. "Sorry, didn't mean to ear-drop or anything. But since everything looked well outside I wanted to come here and see if I could help in some way." she said as the detective smiled.

"No need to apologize. I was actually meaning to talk with you."

"Really?" the New Yorker asked as the detective nodded.

"Since you're the closest to an American pro-hero, I wanted to see if you had any intel on the foreigners that attacked the compound. If it helps out, one of them is named Supercharger." he said as Spider-Girl started to think.

"Mm… doesn't ring a bell. To be honest, I think this was the first time I've ever seen those two. So they're probably low-ranking compared to… say, Angel Face or Earthshaker. And those are my baddies, so that should kind of get you thinking how unheard of these guys are." she told them, although she remembered that her sister mumbled something before going to the infirmary. "Although I think the other one was named Joey something. Annie mentioned something when we were getting her to the ambulance."

"I see, well I'll try to contact her afterwards to see if she knows something else."

"If it helps, I can give a call to my contacts back home to see if they can find anything. Maybe even my dad… unless that's illegal… would it be illegal?"

"I wouldn't say illegal per say. More like… unorthodox." the detective said.

"Would it be ok for you to contact the school if you get any sort of intel? It could help us prepare if they decide to attack again." Nezu asked the New Yorker, who nodded.

"Sure, no problem." she said, before turning to the detective. "Excuse me, sir. You said that you were going back to campus. Could you give me a ride there? I want to check on my sister as fast as possible."

"Sure, I don't see any issue with that." he said as the hero nodded.

Afterwards the two headed off for the U.A campus.

"As much as I would like to, I won't say anything now. Given the circumstances, this was almost bound to happen." Recovery Girl told both All Might and Midoriya, who were laying in to beds in front of her with bandages all over their injuries. "Although that Parker girl is probably spending a bit too much time close to you two with just how beat up she was. One may think that you're starting to be bad influence on her."

"... Perhaps you're right. I was too reckless with my time. If I had used my power better, then maybe this whole mess wouldn't have occurred in the first place."

"Well, at least you now no longer have an excuse to not take your medicine now, do you?" the nurse said with a humorful tone.

"What do you mean? I always… oh… I see…" All Might said, understanding what she meant as he looked at the ceiling. "... Yeah… maybe it's time for me to start taking it…"

"All Might?" asked Midoriya, who was confused as to what he meant.

"Excuse me, pardon the intrusion." said someone, entering the room. "All Might! Long time no see!"

"Tsukauchi! You're here too!" the hero said… while spilling some blood.

"HUH?! All Might… you mean… he…"

"It's ok kid, he knows." the hero said, as he began to present who the man was. "He's Tsukauchi Naomasa, a police officer and one of my best friends."

"Haha, that's quite the introduction that you gave me there!" the detective said with a laugh. "Sorry to come here uninvited, but I kind of need your testimony and all-"

"Wait, before that… how are the students? Are Aizawa and young Parker and Thirteen as well?" asked the hero.

"Well… outside of you two and Spider-Girl's younger sister, everyone else is fine. Outside of a few minor injuries that is. Thirteen just had a check up and she seems fine now. As for Eraser, he's not in a life threatening situation anymore. And the girl is in another room. It was probably the most appropriate thing to do." he informed the hero. "But you know, if the three of you hadn't fought as bravely as you did, then maybe the story would have been different for the kids." he said, but All Might didn't think that way.

"Actually, I don't think that's accurate to say… for it was the students who fought bravely and gave it their all!" the hero said as he started to smile with pride. "The greatest of heroes in America didn't have a school to learn, instead, they had what's essentially a baptism by fire. These young students may be inexperienced, but they faced something similar and survived! Tell me, can you think of any highschooler from the country that could say the same? Are there any other freshmen who could have faced such terror so early on? Someone who could have faced the perils of the world of adults...?! No, it was them, who showed the villains who are truly the naive ones! And I'm sure that the students of class 1-A will grow into fine heroes!!!" he said with a smile and giving the officer a thumbs up. Something that made the man chuckle, for he was right.

Meanwhile not that far from there, in another room nearby, were both Thirteen and Annie. Thirteen had already put her costume back once again, thankfully she seemed to be fine. Her costume tho… it could probably use some cleaning, considering the big scorch mark that it had. As for Annie… this was not her day.

She had bandages all around her body. They actually had to stitch the slash wound that she had on her left arm, although with her healing and all, it probably wouldn't leave a scar… or at least she hopes. She had bandages on the torso, her head and had her right arm on a sling. Which was to be expected since her shoulder dislocated twice on the same day.

That was probably not good.

"Is there anything that you require, Parker?" asked the teacher to her student.

"Not really I guess… I mean I'm kind of hungry, but that can probably wait until after the school's fine and all." she replied

"I think there may be a bending machine near here, but I don't want to leave you alone just yet."

"No need to worry, miss Thirteen…" said a voice. Turning around, they saw Spider-Girl standing by the door, holding what looked to be a granola bar in her hand. "I can take over now if you want. Besides, I wouldn't want her to give you more trouble than she has by now. No one deserves that." she joked as the younger of the Parker sisters chuckled.

"Missed you too, sis."

"Well… I guess the two of you would like a moment alone to talk." Thirteen said, nodding to the other heroine and walking to the door. "I'll take a look around. If you need me, just call for me, alright?" Thirteen said as the two sisters nodded.

Thirteen then walked out of the room, leaving the two Parkers by themselves. Mayday then took her mask off and walked to where her sister was. She grabbed a chair and sat next to her bed as she handed Annie the granola bar.

"Not that I'm not glad and all, but I'm pretty sure that there were chocolate bars in those things." Annie said, only for her sister to flick her on the forehead. "Ow, what the heck?! Is that how you treat injured people?!"

"Sip it. You're lucky I even brought you that if what I heard of you pulling a Rambo on those guys is to be true." the older sister said, clearly not pleased to hear that her sister decided to not only go out of her way to try and fight some big monster, but that she decided to do it alone.

"Alright, message received. I promise I won't do it again."

"We both know that's a lie." Mayday told her before keeping silent for a bit before gently patting Annie on her head. "I'm… I'm glad that you're ok… well, relatively speaking." she said as Annie smiled at Mayday.

"Well, nice to know you care."

"You kidding? I almost had a heart attack when I heard what happened. And after seeing just how bad you looked… well, I probably would have had one if not for the fact that I was letting some steam out by punching those jerks."

"Yeah, I saw. 'What made you think that messing with my baby sister was a good idea?'... kinda cheesy, don't you think?"

"A bit yeah… and… and I would say it again if this ever happens a second time." Mayday said as her eyes watered a bit. She then chuckled as she started to wipe them out. "Jeez, they should clean these rooms more often. All this dust is getting in my eyes." she said as Annie smiled and nodded.

"I say… some of it is getting on mine too." Annie said as the two kept silent for a bit.

Afterwards, Mayday spoke once more. "Well, just a heads up, one of the detectives is going to come here and ask you about what happened and all. You know the rest, it's kind of like in Law and Order. So just tell them what happened and everything that you remember. Like for example, the name of that lady that I probably broke her nose."

"Oh yeah, I remember crazy lady. Her name was Joey… Joey Pulaski, I think. Sparky mentioned her a couple of times." Annie said, frowning a bit. "Would it be alright to say that I'm kind of mad?"

"Your school was attacked by a bunch of loonies. You not being mad would probably make me a bit more concerned."

"No, I mean that too but… We came to the other side of the world, left dad and everyone that we knew just to avoid this nonsense and not only did it happen, but it wasn't just one, but two jerks that gunned for me because they had beef with dad. What was even the point then?"

"Yeah, it sucks. Hoo-boy, when dad hears of this he's probably going to grab the first flight here and make a scene."

"Assuming that he hasn't hijacked a Fantasticar by now." Annie said as her sister nodded. Then, she realized something. "Speaking of… d-did the school called you or…?"

"Oh no, mom did. I was… oh…. oh god, I see what you mean!"

"Then what are you waiting for?! Get me out of here before-" Annie was about to say, until both she and Mayday felt something.

It wasn't a tinkling behind the back of their head. It was more like a shiver through the spine. It wasn't a superpower that they inherited from their father, nor it was some sort of other power that came through exposure to some weird stuff either. It was more of an ability that the two developed. A skill that they consider the greatest in their arsenal.

Their mom senses were tingling.

"Excuse me, would you happen to be a teacher here?" they suddenly heard the voice of their mother coming from outside of the room.

Yeah, time ran out.

"... Well, that's my cue." Mayday said as she got up, put her mask on and walked to the window of the room.

"Wait, what?!"

"Don't worry, I promise to feed Speedy the right food this time and to tell him how much you cared for him. I'll make sure you have a nice ceremony and get you pretty flowers too." she said as she left through the window.

"Wait no! Come back, you can't just leave me to die alone like that!" Annie yelled, only to hear the door opening. And as she turned, she saw her mother coming in.

This was really not her day.

It was safe to say that the news of U.A being the victim of a villain attack hit like a tank to the people of Japan.

The fact that the number one hero school of not only the country, but of most of Asia could have suffered such a thing could have never crossed the minds of the civilians even in a million years. Naturally, the media all wanted a piece of the story, which is why to make sure that the events that unfolded didn't get twisted by speculation and misunderstanding (as well as those publishers that liked to feed out of controversies), the school ushered a statement almost instantaneously.

It was Principal Nezu who told them that a group known as 'The League of Villains' attacked the U.S.J compound. He told on how they aimed to cripple them by harming the students and the school itself. But, he also told on how the teachers fought bravely to defend their students even if it were they who paid the price. It was he who told the press that All Might arrived and put a stop to their wicked plans. And so, principal Nezu told on how despite the villains' efforts, they all brought their plans crashing down.

Granted, he did omit a few details here and there. Mainly the fact that two American villains were amongst the group and that they themselves only joined to harm a specific student of theirs. But he did that for many reasons. One was to keep the public at ease and to reassure them that they had everything under control. Although the main reason was for young Parker's sake. Her father was not seen in the best of lights, so if word got out on how not only one of his daughters was a student there, but that two of Spider-Man's rogues traveled all the way from America to Japan just to cause trouble… yeah, it was best they don't know that yet.

Right now, it was Sunday in the afternoon. The school managed to reinforce the school enough that their previous security system would look like a hall monitor on one of those old American movies and shows. Quite amazing that they managed to do that in such a short period of time, but hey that's U.A for you. As such, the students would be able to return to class on Monday without losing a day of school.

Right now, Izuku was walking down a mall near the beach. He didn't normally go to the mall (or anywhere for that matter), but he thought that maybe some fresh air could help. After all, what happened on friday was quite the experience. Besides, he heard of a new All Might limited edition figure coming soon and he just wanted to pre-order it. Sure, he already has an All Might action figure… well two actually… or three… ok, he has a lot of them. But this one was different. This one was based on his black suit!

Ok, he didn't have a black suit… as far as he knew (which basically meant that there was no black suit), but it was based on the idea of just how it seemed like a lot of American heroes had a black suit at least at one point or another. Iron Man for example had one, as well as Iron Fist, so why not All Might. The toy company responsible for the figure actually wanted to sell a whole line of many pros in some fancy black suit and to test the waters, they decided to start with a bang. And who could be bigger than All Might?

Trick question, no one… or at least that's what Midoriya thought.

As Midoriya was walking by, with a bag of a few goods that had a discount, he could have sworn that he heard something. No, he heard someone and the voice was pretty familiar to him. It was a female one, with a small ascent at that. He decided to go to where that voice was coming from. There were at least four people that he knew who had an accent like that and one of them was a guy. The other one he wasn't that familiar with and the other other one was very shy, so she was out. So that meant that it was…

"What? B-But the sign said that students of a hero school get a 50% discount. You can't get more hero than U.A, right?" Annie told the cashier.

"Well, there's Shiketsu, but I'm sorry miss. The discount is only to those belonging to the support course. After all, they're the ones that are meant to be more acostumed to these sorts of materials… and even then, some of the things that you have feel like something that only a third year student is supposed to use." he told the girl.

"Can't you make an exception?"

"Sorry miss, I wish I could. But the manager is rather strict. If he catches on then…" the cashier said apologetically as the girl sighed.

"Yeah, I get it." she said, as she took the things that she wanted to purchase to return them to where she found them.

After that, she left the establishment feeling pretty bumped down. And as she exited, she looked up and saw that not that far, was Midoriya. He had a bag with him, and his left hand was covered in bandages. And most of all, he was looking at her. Annie saw him and smiled a bit, she waved at him and he waved back at her. After that, they decided to walk together for a bit.

"So, whatcha got there, Izuku?" she asked him as they left the mall.

"Oh, i-it's a few collectables that had a discount."

"Neat."

"Um, Parker-san, were you trying to buy something from that place?" he asked as the girl sighed.

"Can't people just call me Annie? It's not like it's that hard to pronounce or remember." she mumbled before answering. "Yeah, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted."

"Oh, sorry to hear that… B-By the way, what were you trying to buy there? That place usually sells hardware and other things that a support course student uses."

"Oh, you know. Some pieces for a few things that I want to make. A little nitric acid and what not."

"That… doesn't sound safe."

"If you don't know how to handle them, then yeah, it's not." she told him.

"Oh, ok… B-By the way… nice to see you're ok." he said, surprising the girl a bit.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"W-Well, since you fought all of those tough villains by yourself and got really hurt. Plus I tried to call you, but got nothing."

"You called me?" she asked as the boy turned red.

"W-Well, s-since you looked pretty hurt last time I saw you, I w-wanted to make sure everything was ok." he said as the girl chuckled.

"Thanks for caring, Izuku." she said as the boy scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that. My phone… yeah, it got wrecked."

"Uh, how?" he asked.

"That crazy marble lady sent me through a few walls and in one of those moments, my phone got turned into scraps." she said as she pulled something out of the pocket of the jacket that she had. It was an old phone. A really old phone. Like, they were probably cutting edge back when his mom was his age. "This is my new phone, I bought it this morning. Like it?"

"Um… well, it-"

"It's a piece of junk, I know. But it was the only thing I could afford. On the plus side, I can throw it at people and it probably won't break. So there's that."

" Heh, when you put it like that, it might be an improvement."

"And with the kind of life that we'll have, then I might get to throw it at someone." she joked. "By the way, how are things for you back home?"

"W-Well, my mom was pretty worried. She hugged me and refused to let go for almost two hours… almost blacked out too "

"I hear you. Moms can be like that."

"W-What about you?"

"More or less the same… only, a bit rougher. But at least I got to sleep like a baby. I never knew how much I would appreciate my bed until today." she said as she then grew a bit… worried? "And… well, my dad called. God was that a conversation that we all had."

"Your dad?" Midoriya asked, only to remember something.

Her father was Spider-Man. Like, the Spider-Man. The number one vigilante the world has ever seen. And by god did he wish he could forget that fact, because it was already hard to talk to her as it is. Talking to her while also remembering that didn't help one bit.

"S-So, what did he say?" he asked as Parker sighed.

"To give you an idea of how close he was to come here. He was about to steal one of Iron Man's boots believing that one jet boot was more than enough to get him across the Pacific."

"D-D-Did he…?"

"And worst of all, not only were he and some other heroes fighting some weird calamari monster. But he could have actually pulled that off." she said, before turning to the shy boy. "... You know… we don't have to do this if you don't want to…" she said, surprising Izuku.

"Huh?"

"I can tell from your expression. I know you think that I'm the kid of 'Big mean Spidey'... So… if it makes you uncomfortable…"

"W-What?! No, I don't think that. I-I actually forgot about that!"

"... You're terrible liar, you know."

"... Ok, maybe I didn't forget about that… but, I… I… remember when you told me to go?" he asked the girl, who almost instantly knew what he meant. "I told you that you were a precious friend of mine… I meant what I said. So I want to believe that we can still be friends… no matter what." he said as Annie… well, she smiled.

"Thanks Izuku. That means a lot." she told him as Izuku nodded.

"B-By the way… about those villains. Does your dad know about them?"

"Yeah actually. Luckily they aren't one of his more dangerous baddies." she told him, which was nice to hear. "For what I understand, the electric dude is Supercharger. He's some guy that hates super people and whom my dad first stopped back when he was our age. The other one is named Josephine Pulaski, or Joey. She was apparently a friend of my dad when they were young."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Actually, she was the first super kid that he ever met and vice-versa. She's a mutant that apparently had it rough or something. But she wasn't some nice person and didn't mind doing jobs for some not so good people. So when she started to work for a crime lord and my dad intervened… yeah, it's safe to say that they stopped being friends."

"Wow… that's rough."

"Yep. Since then, my dad became their least favorite person and the rest is history."

"Well, for them not being among the dangerous, they sure could do some damage."

"Guess they do, don't they?"

As Annie said that, Izuku looked at Parker's right arm. She was wearing a sling. He recalled that her shoulder had dislocated when she was hit by that explosion. And he remembered that she got hit because of him. If he hadn't spaced out, then Parker wouldn't have gotten hurt. And worst of all, after that, it may have looked like he didn't care about her or what happened to her. No, instead, the one to be there for the redhead was Vector. He didn't even wait to see if she was ok after Recovery Girl gave him the green light.

"Oh, hey. Isn't that the beach that you cleaned up?" Annie said, as she went to take a closer look at the beach beneath them.

"Oh, I guess it is." Izuku said as he got to her side. "Wonder how we got here."

"Well, I was just following you."

"Then maybe I just came here on instinct. I sometimes come to clear my mind." Izuku said.

"Makes sense. And with this kind of view, it's almost impossible to not relax." Annie said as she surcharged her good arm on the rail in front.

"I… I have to do this. The least I can do is apologize for what happened." Izuku thought as he decided to apologize to Parker. "Parker-san, I-"

"I know you have a secret, Izuku." she suddenly said without stopping to look at the beach.

Izuku suddenly froze. Did… did she just said…

"And I know that it probably involves All Might."

No… No it… it can't be. It was already bad enough that he told Kachan out of the blue like he did. But this? How could this happen? He knew she was smart, but… was he really that careless.

"Parker-san I… I…" he was trying to say, as was trying to think of any way to explain things to the American.

However, before he could do it, Annie finally turned to him, with a gentle and understanding smile on her face. "And I don't want to hear it." she said, much to Izuku's surprise.

"Huh?"

"Oh, come on. Don't be that surprise." she said, with a bit of humor.

"But… I mean… how?"

"You two ain't exactly masters of concealment." she told him. "For example, there's the fact that you sometimes yell SMASH, the same way All Might does. And while it could be just a fanboy being a fanboy, the fact it started to resemble All Might every time you do it started to become a tad bit suspicious. Speaking of, the fact that you're having a hard time controlling your quirk despite the fact that quirks sometimes tend to be the easiest of the three born giving powers to tame could have been understandable if not for the fact that Katsuki kept on saying that you're quirkless. And since the two of you seem to have some level of history with one another, means that he probably knows a thing or two about you. And as much of a jerk as he is, he doesn't seem to be the kind to lie. Sure, it could be that you're actually getting it wrong and that you're a mutant, but then the U.S.J business happened. And when you didn't break your arm when you punched that Nomu guy, you were about to say something to All Might before stopping yourself. And that's without mentioning the fact that the two of you were separated from everyone the way you were. Sure, I can understand me not sharing the same room as you two at the infirmary, but not the fact that it almost seemed as if the two of you were taken there without anyone noticing."

"...Oh." was the only thing that he could think to say. She was really good… and he in turn was really not that good. "B-But… you're saying you don't want to know?"

"Nope."

"Not that I'm complaining, but why? Aren't you even the tiniest bit curious?"

"Well, I would be lying to say that part of me doesn't want to know… but I mean it." the girl told the boy of green hair. "Let's get the elephant out of the room. I'm the kid of a big time superhero who had a secret identity since he was fifteen. My family understands secrets pretty well and the past week or so has made me get them even more than before. So yeah, I may know that there's something going on, but I don't have any business invading your privacy."

"Oh, wow I… I appreciate it, Parker-san." Izuku said, grateful for Parker's understanding. "Well, since you kinda figured that up, if you-" he was saying, but Annie stopped him by raising her good hand.

"Now, Izuku, secrets are a pretty big deal. So don't go around telling them to people just cause. That's kinda dumb and only something an idiot would do. And I know you are not an idiot." she said, making Izuku feel like he just had an anvil falling on top of him.

"Y-Yeah… not an idiot…" he awkwardly said.

"They can be pretty heavy to deal with, so if you want to share it with someone, then do it when you think you can trust that person. And when you feel like sharing it, make sure you're ready. And I mean ready. Ok?" she asked as the boy nodded.

"Y-Yeah, thanks Parker-san."

"And do try to be a bit more discreet about it. If I figured as much in just one week, then I'm sure there are others that can probably do as well. Besides, it'll make my job of covering for you a lot more manageable." she said, confusing Izuku.

"Covering for me? You mean that… "

"Well, someone has to watch your back." she told him, before looking at the sunset before them. "I should probably get back. We do have school tomorrow and Recovery told me to rest as much as possible."

"Yeah, she said the same to me. Guess we should start to go back home."

"Guess you would be right."

"Well then… see you tomorrow, Parker-san."

"See you tomorrow, Izuku."

And so, the girl started to walk away, leaving the boy back near the beach. Izuku looked at the girl, who had offered him so much help. Who has stood up for her. And who decided to keep quiet about his secret and not delve any deeper than she has already. She… she has done quite a lot for him. It's time to return the favor.

"Parker-san!" he called as the girl stopped and turned back. "Thank you! If you ever need help, then I'll be there for you!" she said, making the redhead arachnid grin.

"Same! Call me if you ever need anything!" she said as the boy nodded.

Afterwards, the two left, heading for their respective home and preparing to have some well-earned rest. This last year, they have gone through a lot. One, was given the chance to prove himself and was encouraged by the one person that he admired the most. The other one, saw her world change when one least expected and for a time, felt that her life was starting to go down the drain. And last Friday was not exactly a pleasant day. But, all of it had a purpose. For this was the start of their stories. One that if one were ever to be asked many years ago, they would have been called crazy or delusional. For this is how the once quirkless boy grew into taking over his number one hero. This was how the always upbeat girl inherited part of her father's legacy. For this is how something that in time past occured in a very different way…

This time around, the Spider and the Symbol did become true friends.

My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - By your Side!

The attack of U.S.J made its way to the ears of damn near every student of U.A. And what everyone was talking about was the fact that class 1-A were the ones to have survived the villain attack. Most of all, they all heard that apparently one student fought side by side with one of their teachers. Of course, that was as far as most got.

After everything got cleared out, the students were allowed to return home. However, most had decided to wait until their guardians got to the school. Naturally they were a bit worried and the guardians were worried as well. There were some cases in which the reunion between parent and child was a simple one. The adult would just be glad to see the child safe and the child would just be glad to see their parents back… Then there were the reunions like the one Robbie had, which was Yu literally running towards him at the same speed as a cheetah and bear hugging him like there was no tomorrow while acting dramatically.

Yeah, if not for the fact that Robbie could wrap them in flaming chains, then there could be the chance that his tough persona could have been almost shattered.

By now, most of the other students had already left. The only ones that still remained were some of the ones belonging to class 1-A… well, there was one more that belonged to another course, yet still chose to stay behind for a bit.

"Man… this is soooooo boooooring!" Annie complained while still in bed.

Her mother had already arrived and boy was it intense to have her there. On one hand, she was glad to see her baby girl was ok… well, as ok as someone that fought a bunch of criminals that is. On the other on… she could have gone without her chewing her up for going out of her way to put herself in harm's way. Not like Mary Jane didn't understand the hero risks, heck she probably understands them better than even some of the teachers there. But by the way that the teachers (mainly Thirteen) explained what happened to the older redhead… yeah, she was debating between hugging Annie and not letting go and scold her for choosing danger instead of safety when provided the opportunity.

That and putting on the costume her husband made for her, find the morons that thought this was a good idea and throw a car train at them. She could probably pull it off.

At the moment, young Parker's mother was talking to the teachers and officers while her daughter remained in the infirmary room. That was almost half an hour ago. Not that long to some, but when you just got out of fighting crooks and looney villains a few moments back to just laid on a bed with a bunch of bandages and stitches… plus she was kind of hungry too.

"Couldn't she at least buy two?" Annie said, looking at the wrap of the granola bar that she just ate.

Then, there was a knock on the door. It could have either: A) be the officers her sister was telling her about, B) her mother and/or sister or C)... There was no C, she was too hungry to think of a third option.

"If this is a 'knock knock' joke, it better be good." she said as the person chuckled.

"Well, at least I know your bad sense of humor is still intact." the voice said, entering the room it turned out to be none other than Hiroshi Shinso of class 1-C. "And of course you would be the one in the infirmary." he said, looking at the injured redhead.

"Now, now, I can't hogge all the credit. Izuku, Mighty man and hobo teach Aizawa also got beaten up."

"So I've heard." Hiroshi said, as a blue blur zoomed past him and to the girl's left side.

"Annietherewerealotofpeople!" she said, clinging to the redhead like a koala.

"Oh… wow. Did Kamala teach you that?"

"Waaaah!"

"I expected as much." Hiroshi said, taking a seat next to the bed. "They got you good, didn't they?"

"Please, you should see the other guy."

"No he wouldn't!" Valerie said.

"See? Valy gets it."

"I'm pretty sure she didn't say that because of the reasons that you think." Hiroshi commented, before his expression grew to a worried one. "How are you feeling now?" he asked.

"A bit ok. It doesn't hurt that bad and the only issue I have is that I'm both bored and hungry." Annie replied. "By the way, what about the other students? Class A and the rest of the gang? Are they ok?"

"Naturally you would be concerned for others while in a hospital bed." the purple haired boy said.

"Infirmary bed. Let's not exaggerate."

"Sure, sure… well, most of the students headed home by now. Robbie's on his way home last time I saw and the same goes for Kamala. Reyes probably wants to reassure Gabe that he's ok and Khan is probably trying to come up with something to do the same with her parents tomorrow's. The same goes for Hatsume. Although it took a lot to get her off the lab, let alone the campus."

"Naturally." Annie said, turning to the blue girl. "What about the rest of class?"

"W-Well, some of them left. But there were still a few still in the school."

"And you two are here cause?"

"Valerie didn't look like she wanted to leave without you." the Japanese boy said, making the adopted Van Dyne blush a little. "As for me… well, I thought you might need some cheering up."

"Well, that's quite the nice sentiment. What do you-" Annie was saying before Hiroshi grabbed his bag and pulled a bunch of snacks from it. From chips to chocolate, it looked like he raided a candy store.

"You said you were hungry. This should probably do until they let you out." he said, all the while the redhead looked at the snacks before her as if they were gold. And looking at the purple haired boy as if he were some savior.

"Hitoshi Shinso, you are my hero!" the girl complimented the boy, making him smile before grabbing a chocolate bar. "Well, let's dig in before mine comes back and confiscates this loot!"

And so, the trio started to help themselves. Each grabbing a snack and eating them. As they did, Hitoshi couldn't help but to look at the redhead. Something that she took notice of.

"What?" she said, with some food on her mouth.

" Heh, I was right. You are a train wreck without us."

"I'm still a pretty train wreck, tho."

"... Sure, whatever helps you sleep." Hitoshi said, as he ate a chip while the girls also kept on digging in

Today didn't go as Annie would have liked… but, even a bad day cab has it's moments.

And this, was one of them
