Hi there, this chapter will be mostly Izuku having a good time know that he is embracing his powers. I feel that it would be ok if he wanted to show off a little bit, not much or show that he has powers, more like show that he has improved athletic. I love doing this series, its my love letter to Ultimate Spider Man and I will keep doing it. Now let's go!
At Alderan Junior
Izuku was a bit tired of yesterday, doing the whole wrestling thing, making notes, trying get away sneaking from his parents and every pro hero in the area. He was living a secret life like one of those old comic books characters from the pre quirk era. While walking the halls of his middle school he heard some people talking about something that wasn't pro hero related, which interested him.
"And then he BAM Crusher in front of everyone!'' Said a big kid from Izuku class.
"What are they talking about?'' Thought him.
Soon he went to see most of his classmates around the locker room, there was even Bakugo there but he looked so bored.
"That mysterious guy appeared and did those crazy moves to incapacitated both Crusher and Bonesaw. It was amazing!' Said the big kid.
"Did he not used a quirk?'' Asked a kid with a tree face.
"I don't know! That's what's so mysterious about that guy. He just showed up, kicked those two and then grabbed the money. Like a boss!'' Said the big kid.
"Hey Bakugo, you should've gone yesterday. That was an event to remember.' Said one of Bakugo goons.
"So what! Wrestling is fake! It's a bunch of guys pretending to be Pro Heroes when we have the real deal outside. I don't know why you extra even care for something that you should have died a long time ago.'' Said Bakugo all annoyed.
"Come on man! Wrestling is still a big deal and they still get a lot of publicity. Last year's event had rating so big that could rival the UA Sports Festival.'' Said the big kid.
"It's nothing compared to what I will do next year. I will bring those ratings to sky high and nobody will ever forget!'' Said Bakugo all serious.
"So what happened next?'' Asked a kid with long eyeballs.
"This dude just grabbed the money and ran off. I even heard some pro heroes even talking about following him but he just disappeared. From the way he was acting I would say he has some kind Spider like theme.' Said the big kid.
"Did he had like a spider quirk?'' Asked the tree face kid.
"Well I don't know. Maybe he has a spider-like face, but that mask was hard to tell.'' Said the big kid.
"Man, I wish I was there in person. It would have been amazing.'' Said a kid with long cheeks.
"Yeah, that fight has already 20 millions views online. This masked dude rocks.'' Said a kid with fish face.
Izuku just smiled at that. They didn't know that they were talking about him, now he had to be careful once he tried the UA test and make sure he had no relations with his time in the ring. It would be risky but he would figure something out.
"I am going to be great!'' Thoguht Izuku just thinking about when he becomes a pro.
"Earth to Midoriya. Are you there?!'' Asked Mari snapping Izuku out of his fantasy.
"Oh sorry Mari, I was just…thinking about heroes.'' Said Izuku blushing a bit.
"You're always thinking about them you big dork.'' Said Mari with a smile.
Izuku just smiled at that, he was finally getting what was like to have a normal teenage life was like. Once he got into UA it would be a lot better, he wouldn't be the small, crying and weak Deku from before, he would the amazing Izuku.
"Izuku are you daydreaming again?'' Asked Mari snapping him out of fantasy again.
"Sorry! I promise to not happen again.'' Said Izuku.
"Listen, I need your help in the Geometry test. My grades aren't going well, and you are one of the smartest guy I know, so can you give me a help?'' Asked Mari.
"Oh sure, we can schedule at my home. My parents aren't going to mind…'' Said Izuku and then he got interrupted.
"Midoriya!'' Said a gruff voiced revealed to be the head coach of the school.
The two teens saw the big guy coming towards Midoriya, which seemed almost impossible.
"Yes coach?'' Asked Izuku.
"The performance the other day caught my eye. Listen, I know this is out of the blue and I can't believe I am saying this. Would you like to play for our school in the next basketball game?'' Asekd the coach.
Izuku looked at that in total shock, finally someone picked him first at a sport and it was the coach who called him.
"Why me?'' Asked Izuku.
"Why? We are short. 80% of the team left to train to be heroes, I know I've been hard with you in the past but I just wanted to make sure you at least tried to make some effort. You showed that you've got some nice moves the other day and I can tell you've been working out. So what do you say boy?'' Asked the coach.
The teen didn't know what to say, then out of nowhere Bakugo went there to spoil the whole conversation.
"What! Deku playing for our school! Are you that desperate?'' Asked Bakugo to the coach.
"Oh I don't know! Tried to organize a team when half of them either abandoned their post to become the new hot thing at the moment.'' Said the coach not having none of Bakugo talk.
"Getting into other people's business again, you never learn.'' Said Mari.
"Shut up red! If Deku goes with this it will ruin everything!'' Said Bakugo.
"What do you care Bakugo?'' Asked Mari.
"I am making myself the ultimate origin story, I am supposed to come from so low level middle school out of nowhere. Now I will be known as the guy who came from the school with the worst basketball team in the whole country because they let a qurkless weakling into their team!'' Said Bakugo barking out loud like always.
"You know we have to say you're ok to go to UA. Screw you kid.'' Said the coach.
"Deku! You better not to do this! I am warning you!'' Scream Bakugo.
Izuku didn't know what to say, with his new abilities he could definitely be a great basketball player, but it would be like cheating. The little kid inside of him was telling his mind to say no, but the grown up in him was saying yes to make Bakugo eat his words for the first time.
"So what do you say kid?'' Asked the coach.
"Yes.'' Said Izuku shocking everyone.
"Great, practice after school. Be there.'' Said the coach heading out.
Izuku was a bit surprised that he said that, Bakugo then grabbed Izuku collar and started to scream again.
"I BET YOU WONT EVEN MAKE IT INTO THE TEAM. YOU WILL BE THEIR FUCKING WATERBOY! JUST GET OUT OF MY ORIGIN STORY DEKU!' Scream Bakugo tossing Izuku aside into the ground as he went to his classroom with his lackeys.
Mari went to help Izuku get up, it was good to have a great friend like her around.
"Does he even listen to himself?'' Asked Mari wondering if Bakugo will do ok in high school.
"I wonder how things will be once we graduate.'' Said Izuku.
"You're still thinking of doing the UA Hero exam?'' Asked Mari in concern.
"Yes, maybe. I am stull not sure.'' Said Izuku trying to still make some mystery.
"You know if you just go the regular course, I will be there, I am pretty sure Haruma will be too.'' Said Mari with a friendly smile.
"I need to think about it. I am trying my best to try achieving my dream. I know keep telling me no, but I don't want to stop. I want to be a hero. I don't care what even what All Might says!'' Said Izuku
"What did All Might said!?'' Asked Mari now wondering.
Izuku made a sad look at Mari who was deeply curious to what All Might said to Izuku, the teen had admired that hero ever since he was little, so she wanted to know what he said to him.
"He said I should give up in my dream.'' Said Izuku all sad, even after getting the spider bite those words still hurt him to the core of his heart.
The redhaired heard that and felt a shock. Imagine hearing your idol telling you to give up in your dream, that would destroy anyone mentally in any capacity.
"Oh Izuku, I am so sorry!'' Said Mari hugging Izuku who still expressed some sadness from that day.
It was pretty clear that Mari would never looked at the number one hero from the same way ever again. She thought he was going to be the one to tell Izuku that was possible to be a hero without a quirk, but apparently even he was to into that idea that Quirkless people can't do much. Well, she wasn't like that and she would try to cheer for Izuku at any way possible.
A few days later
Izuku was on Alderan main basketball team, most of people from the whole school went to see the game, even the Bakugo's were in the audience of course his son wanting to be anywhere else. Izuku using his knew abilities was using at full advantage, he knew it was cheating but the sensation of winning was so good, now he could understand a little bit why Bakugo is such a jackass.
"Come on! We have a opening!''
"I am blocking!''
"Pass to Midoriya!'' Said the coach.
The other player heard him and the ball went to Izuku who was in the position to get his school 3 points.
"Three pointer!'' Said the referee.
Izuku was being called the MVP of the game already, it was beyond insane that the shy, quirkless kid had become this good all of the sudden. Some were even saying that he was working out in secret all these years.
"And its over!'' Said the referee as the match was over with the clear winner showing.
Alderan 116 x Visitor 84
The whole team went to Izuku and carried him like a champion. Everyone was beyond happy for the boy, Hisashi was beyond proud of his son, Inko couldn't stop crying and Mari was cheering for him.
For the first in his life everyone saw Izuku as a winner and not a loser. He was going to guard that memory for the rest of his life as he was being called number one.
Bakugo couldn't stand seeing that scene and just left in annoyance. For him this was just a stupid Basketball game that nobody would care, but for him that whole scene bugged him for numerous ways.
A few days later
Izuku was on his desk taking notes on his Hero Training, making sure to be a secret. He was getting progress done in reflexes and in a sense of healing. Then he saw Mari coming over and then hide his first notebook.
"Hey star.'' Said Mari with a smile.
"Hi Mari, what can I help you?'' Asked Izuku.
"So you did you prepared?'' Asked Mari.
"Uh?'' Asked Izuku confused.
"Well…the geometry notes, the test tomorrow and you said you would give some notes to study. So where are they?'' Asked her.
Then Izuku remembered that he had promised to help Mari, he couldn't schedule an hour so they could study so he promised to give her some notes. However, with basketball and the whole training it secret that totally went over his head.
"Oh sorry! Sorry! Sorry!'' Said Izuku all nervous.
"What?! You don't have a single note?'' Asked Mari.
"I was busy! You know…basketball and…training for the team….you know…things have started to look for me and…'' Said Izuku trying to come up with an excuse but Mari didn't wanted to hear any of that.
"I see thanks Midoriya, I thought you were someone to keep your promises.'' Said Mari who was so pissed she was saying his last name and not his first one.
Izuku saw her leaving and he felt really bad for this. He wasn't a slacker and he wanted to make it up.
"Sorry! Listen, give me an hour! I can give make a good amount of notes! I promise! It will be quick!'' Said Izuku pretty much begging.
The girl didn't know if she should trust him, but for the sake of their friendship she decided to accept.
"Fine, I will wait but you have to remember to keep your promises. You changed Izuku and I don't know why.'' Said her.
"Mari its just…'' Said Izuku a bit awkward but she cuts him.
"You finally get a taste of being someone, I get it but I thought you could remember favor for your friends. Just don't make this a thing ok.'' Said her all annoyed as she walks off.
The teen just looked at the ground a bit conflicted, he was glad that he had powers finally but he didn't expected to cause him to lost his focus on other stuff.
"You don't understand what I have in my plate.'' Thought him.
The teen just kept quiet to himself as he starts to make those Geometry notes as fast as he could
A few days later
Izuku was on the main arena with his mask and sweater, the place was packet with people seeing him fighting both Crusher and Bonesaw. There was even some heroes present, Izuku had to be careful to not use the same tricks here once he applied to be a pro.
"Who is this mysterious masked man?! He is mysterious and he is overpowering the invincible Crusher who I remind you all is using his quirk!'' Said the announcer making the crowd get even more excited.
While the two lock head with each other they whisper something so only they could hear.
"I will get in position now.'' Said Crush.
"Ok I am ready.'' Said Izuku.
Crusher then looked like he was about to do an 180, acting like he was about to crusher Izuku.
"You walked into my trap! Now I will squeeze all the bones out of your body!'' Said Crusher getting even more beefier.
"Oh really!? Well, try to squeeze this!'' Said Izuku getting in a different position while still locked to Crusher.
He then grabbed Crusher and lifted through the air, thanks to his training and how he defeated him on the first time Izuku grabbed the giant man and then slammed him into the ring.
"Woah! The mysterious man is lifting Crusher as if he was a big dumbbell! How much does he lift?!'' Asked the announcer shocked.
BAM
The crowd went wild as the referee started the countdown as Crusher didn't get up, making Izuku the winner.
"He is out! Crusher Hogan was defeated! Now our new champion is…'' Said the announcer stopping mid-sentence.
The problem was since Izuku was being all mysterious to not be found out he never gave a name or some kind of nickname, he just showered at that was it, he was amazed that the police hasn't found out yet.
"Hey what is your name?' 'Asked the announcer.
"I told I can't…'' Said Izuku but the old man cut him.
"I need a name, like a hero name!'' Said the announcer now a bit in a hurry.
"Oh…uh…uh….its Spider…uh? Man Spider?'' Asked Izuku rushing to get something out of his head.
Then the announcer grabbed his hand and raised so he can announced the winner.
"There you have folks! Our new winner is…. The Amazing Spider-Man!'' Said the announcer.
The whole crowd went wild and Izuku saw that this was going to be his ring name for now on.
"I guess its ok.'' Thought him still thinking on that name Amazing Spider Man.
Later
Izuku was on the locker room, still with the mask and receiving his cut of the match.
"Here you go kid.'' Said the announcer.
"Oh thanks.'' Said Izuku.
"Hey Spider Man, great show tonight.'' Said Crusher getting into the Locker Room.
"Crusher. How are you doing?'' Asked Izuku a bit worried.
"I am doing fine, thanks. Might have pulled a muscle but I can check on a doctor later.'' Said the big man.
"Arent you pissed at me for causing this?'' Asked Izuku a bit worried.
"Nah, I got way worst when I was a bouncer or when I was starting out. Trust me kid, this is nothing.'' Said Crusher smiling at the newcomer.
"Take your money, because if you want to continue on this business I want a name! No more of this mysterious mask and stuff. If this keeps up the police will be here and we will be in trouble, either reveal who you are or you're fire.'' Said the announcer now a bit pissed at Izuku.
The teen just tried to keep quiet, he could quit now, he got enough data from these fights so when he is dealing with villains he had at least some experience.
"If you fire me than its ok, I am just doing this as a quick buck. Don't worry about it, I didn't sign a contract or anything.' Said Izuku with a quick counter.
"He got you there.'' Said Crusher with a smirk.
"Shut up! Listen, I want you to here. You're young and the people like you and if you actually sign with us we will start to treat you right.'' Said the announcer.
"Why should I believe you?'' Asked Izuku not sure about this, that guy could be a con artist.
"because I had my people make this for you. It's on quality of a Pro hero costume.'' Said the announcer giving a gym bag to Izuku.
Izuku open the bag and he couldn't believe his eyes.
There was a costume there, like a legit costume that could really well fit him as a pro. It was red and green, made out of Spandex or Lycra.
"Why green?'' Asked Izuku, he hasn't showed his hair color.
"I can distich people by colors and yours kept giving me green vibe.'' Said the announcer.
"Is that your quirk? Is a cute one.'' Said Izuku.
"Quiet! Just try it and then if you like it then you can use it on the next event.'' Said the announcer.
The offer was just so good to pass, now Izuku knew he wasn't going to commit to this life of wrestling, but it was weird, it was like the costume was saying Wear me.
Later
Izuku was in his room as he puts the costume for the first time and then he saw himself in the mirror.
"Woah!'' Said him amazed by it.
The costume looked great on him, covered him head to toe, had some big eyes like lens and also could show off his muscles.
"This could be like my costume! Its definitely going to be mine!'' Said him looking himself in the mirror.
He then went to his old heroes' books, he still used them for references but seeing them brought him painful memories of a life worshiping a hypocrite. Izuku even saw the first drawing he made of him on a costume, looking closely it looked like a bunny.
"I would look like a dork with that costume.' Thought him blushing.
He kept admiring himself in the mirror, he knew he was acting a bit off but it felt kind right. He wanted to feel like he was going places, but he also felt that this costume need it some changes.
"Maybe I can add some webs in the red and a spider in the middle. Once I get to UA, I can ask them to make it more tech base. Also, I can adapt my wall crawling to…'' Said Izuku mumbling as he usually does, making notes and going nonstop.
He felt like a true winner. He was a basketball star, he kept getting stronger, he got his parents more money and he was getting better at his power's day by day. Once he gets to UA he would totally be on part of Bakugo and all the other big shots.
"This is going to be great!'' Said him all excited.
Meanwhile.
At Oscorp
Norman Osborn was filling in what looked like a never-ending pile of paperwork, for him it was all worthless once the experiment is concluded. As he thought about the upcoming procedure Doctor Octavious arrived in his office.
"What is it?'' Asked Norman.
"Mister Osborn we arrived at a problem.'' Said Otto.
"What kind of problem?'' Asked Norman now pissed.
"We did some test on the Oz and tried to be replicated to match the one inside our Arachnicide Subject. However, the chemicals are still not on point, we have to redo a variety of test and keep adding new components so the match can be 100%.'' Said Otto.
"What can't we use the one we have?'' Asked Norman.
"Because we tried at some animals this afternoon and well…there are guts and organs all over the lab. If we tried on you sir the results might succeed for a few minutes but due to how unstable the Oz is at the moment it would be a matter of time for your fate be the same.'' Said Otto.
That information made Norman mad, usually he would just do the experiment but with that high risk it would be stupid to try.
"How long until you match the component and make a big amount of this substance?'' Asked Norman.
"A few months. Its what we conclude it at, it will takes week to make the same amount find on the Arachnid, but if you want to keep doing it then the amount will need to be bigger and its not something we can just do quickly once we arrived in a good amount.'' Said Otto.
The businessman took a deep breath and gave his answer, shocking Otto in particular.
"Very well, I will double your salary, but I will keep tabs on your team. Make sure to give progress every day. I repeat every day or you will be dismissed.'' Said Norman.
"Very well sir, I will start working right now.'' Said Otto.
As Otto left Norman grabbed his phone and called his assistant.
"Juni!'' Said Norman.
"Yes!'' Said the assistant.
"Get me the best personals and body builders in this country. Screw it, from the entire world and bring it to me. I want a list on my office by tomorrow morning.'' Said Norman.
"What why?'' Asked the assistant.
"I want my body in the best shape that it ever achieved. It will take months for the Oz be at the same state that it was on the Spider, when I take that I want to be on the peak of human physic. If it granted a skinny boy incredible reflexes and muscular growth imagine what will do with me.'' Said Norman.
"Yes sir! Right away!'' Said Juni going to do his job.
The man went to his desk and grabbed an old picture, a old picture of him when he was just a kid being sent to a boarding school, where he was mocked and bullied senseless because he was quirkless, it didn't matter if he was rich, for them he was a weak kid.
''They looked down at me from being quirkless did I just sat down and cry? No, I grown my brain while they dreamed about being heroes, now look at me, one of the richest man in the world and they are just a bunch of nobodies. The Hero Age, an age that should have died a long time ago, once this experiment goes public people will view me as the next Glowing Baby, it will be Osborn Age! My name will never be forgot, and I will crush all those who oppose me. Sleep well world because soon I will be everywhere!'' Said Norman with a smirk as he just start to think about his new training regime.
So yes, I had to chance a few things. Norman is not going to become the Goblin for a while, since I still want Izuku to become a vigilante and the tragedy hasn't happened yet. Once we get to there it will make more sense.
I know some of you might still think this Izuku is OOC, but I feel that the Spider might have awaken some side of him that wanted to rebel. I mean the kid finally has powers and so far they are better than most quirks on the market.
I am really liking this series, and most of these chapters have been made in advance this is why you're seeing so many of them.
There is actually a little fan comic that I found on Devianart. I can't find the artist, but in that one there is a Mary Jane and a Gwen Stacy for Izuku Spider Man, but it's a mix mash of various thing. Izuku is supposed to be like the Tom Hollan spider man and Mary and Gwen have their anime looks. I need to look deeply into that story and see more, I hate when they post on Devianart and don't put any link from the actual artist.
Thank you all for everything and keep in touch because the next couple of chapters are going to be the ones that change Izuku.
