Chapter 6

"Ok guess we're doing this!"

Peter shoots webs to restrain this Molten Man, but his opponent raises his arm, blocking it but leaving his arm restrained. Peter tries pulling on the web but Molten Man smiles and turns up the heat, burning off the webs. Peter falls back at the sudden snap but his spider sense alerts him to his attacker throw lava balls at him and Peter cart wheels and flips out the way. He lands on one of the faces of the mountain and attempts wrapping the fire powered villain in webs, this time getting his arms and legs and torso. But Molten Man smirks and grabs all the strands,

"How about going for a spin?"

And he pulls on the webs. Peter instinctively keeps ahold of it firmly but that was his mistake as the mountain face he was sticking to breaks off and he's swung in the air, holding onto his webs for dear life, not even registering the pieces of rock still attached to his feet. Molten Man slams Peter into the ground, creating a crater in the ground. Peter's vision is hazy as he hit the ground head first! With his vision still swimming, he vaguely registers his spider sense but is too late to react as the fire powered villain grips him by his spider symbol, burning it and melting some of the suits material into his skin. Peter yells in pain and he's thrown into the air, pieces of mountain breaking on impact as he skids across the surface and into a pile of rubble that shatters under him. He groans,

"So this is why they say not to play with fire."

A hot hand grabs his ankle and slams him back and forth to the ground and he's tossed in the air. As he falls back to earth, Molten Man tries punching Peter but the teen twists in the air, dodging the fist and landing in a crouch, he quickly kicks twice, pushing and stunning his opponent before blinding him with webs and as he tries to free his eyes, Peter gut punches him, doubling him over, then kneeing him in the face. The webs are burned off but Peter doesn't stay still and flips over his attacker, kicking him in his back and sending him into the mountain face, crumbling the rock all around him. Molten Man growls in anger.

"Oh great now he's angry!" Peter groans.

His spider sense goes off severely as he sees a ball of hot lava form between the villains hands.

Though frightened by the power this man wields Peter can't show it. And he flips back and forth, feeling the burning heat as it passes by his body a hairs breath away. The heat was so intense he's pretty sure that his arm hair is singed off. He lands in a crouch saying,

"Hey time out! Whoa! You can throw lava!? This wasn't in the superhero handbook! I am so due for a power upgrade!"

"Do you ever shut up!?"

He casually evades another lava blast. "Not when I'm awake!... though I am told I have a tendency to sleep talk so I guess I never shut up!"

"GRRR!"

He throws another lava blast and Peter flips again but the was exactly what Molten Man wanted as he vaults in the air and tackles Peter, pinning him in a burning bear hug.

"GAGH!" he screams as the burning sensation gets worse around his torso and the pressure of being squeezed alive.

The pain distracts Peter and he doesn't feel as Molten Man takes out a syringe, made fireproof specifically for handling, and sticking him in his arm, filling the tube with Peter's blood. Peter is panicking as the burning gets unbearable and he can hardly breath as his life is being squeezed out of him. He realizes his legs are free and he does the one thing he can think of.

Molten Man's eyes nearly pop out of his socket as the arachnid knees him brutally in the groin with all the strength his enhanced physiology can muster. He drops Peter and falls to his knees clutching his family jewels while letting out a stream of expletives. The American teenager takes large gulps of air into his lungs, his breathing still ragged and his torso sensitive to the touch, but a foot kicks him hard in the cheek and a blast of lava hits him firmly in the chest, pushing him further into the air and nearly burning his suit into his chest.

Peter rolls out the way of more lava blasts, shooting web balls at his opponent, but Molten Man is only annoyed by the pestering attacks.

"That the best you got!? You're gonna regret the day you were born you little shit!"

"Trust me when I say I already do!"

Peter webs up a rather large chunk of broken mountain and swings it in the air. Just as a blast of Lava comes his way, he hits molten Man perfectly with the chunk of rock just in time to bend backwards in a perfect 90 degree angle, the stream of fire dancing way too close for comfort at his nose tip. Peter can see that Molten Man is dazed by the heavy attack and he goes in for the kill.

"You ruined my new suit so I guess it's time for me to return the favor!" he webs up his fists for protection and sprints as fast as he can to his target.

All Molten Man sees is a flurry of Red and blue as Peter delivers rapid-fire hooks and haymakers, each hit landing home. Molten Man is being pummeled and he tries returning the favor, he swings wild punches, one of which connects, hitting Peter right in the ribs.

Peter lets out a pain filled grunt, Shit! I felt that one, I think he cracked a few ribs! I gotta end this soon or else I'm toast! Peter quickly blinds his attacker again with webs and surveys his environment, looking for anything that he can use to help him. He does a double take as he sees the mountain side that he was first thrown in… and the cracks that have grown from it. That mountain face looks pretty unstable! If it gets hit hard enough, it might collapse… and trapping anyone under it! Time for a little bait and switch then.

Molten Man growls as he rips off the webs from his face, "Swear to god if you shoot that shit in my face one more goddamn time!..."

"What you'll slow roast like a good brisket?... what nothing!? Come on that was way better than whatever you were about to say admit it!"

Molten Man roars as he throws lava towards Peter, creating a flaming crater where he once stood as Peter leapt out the way and, unbeknownst to him, closer to the weakened mountain face.

"Never gonna nail me from a distance molty, and I'm beating your afraid to get those shiny lil' hands of yours dirty!" He wiggles his fingers tauntingly, blinding his foe further with his rage.

Molten Man growls and ignites his fists, charging at the arachnid, "That's a suckers bet bitch!"

Peter waits until Molten Man goes for another tackle and Peter jumps kicking him down into the ground below him while simultaneously using him as a catapult to go higher in the air. Peter shoots two web strand to the ground that stretch from his upwards momentum, then yanking him at high speeds straight into Molten Man just as he gets up, hitting him full force straight into the weakened part of the mountain.

Molten Man grunts at the pain from the hit and breaks out of the crater. He's confused as he starts to hear the sounds of crakling and popping. He turns and looks up just in time to see most of the mountain face start to collapse and crumble… directly on top of him, "Oh fuck!"

Peter cringes as he watches his opponent get buried underneath the rocks but he doesn't let his guard down and he waits… and waits…. And waits. "Huh, either he's playing the long game or… I won? Holy hell I actually won! HAHA!"

He raises his fist but immediately regrets it as pain shoots in his side. He clutches his ribs and groans painfully. "Oh right dammit, cracked ribs ugh."

Peter looks at the pile of rumble and sighs, "Might be a villain but I can't leave him there to die. (Sigh) Please don't wake up."

He makes quick work clearing Molten Man from the debris, thankfully he stayed unconscious and his fire seemed to have fizzled, with nothing but his golden skin being the indication of his quirk. Peter pulls him a safe distance and webs him to the ground for good measure. He then stretches, "Ok so full on villain attack, some teleporting dude separated all of us and if they're like Molty over here then that means everyone could be in serious-"

He notices in the distance an electrified light show, "… danger. Welp it'd probably be a good idea to find out what that was all about."

A villain attacks Jiro and she uses her blade to deflect his swipes just in time as Momo delivers a flying kick to his face, knocking him out. "Done!" she yells then crouches down and the back of her costume begins to expand, freaking out Jiro.

"It takes some time to create something big!" she exclaims as a large sheet bursts from her back and envelops the pair completely.

Now all the villains are confused, some wondering aloud, "A sheet?"

"Is it supposed to be a shield?"

Momo peeks out from under with a smirk, addressing Kaminari, "it's an insulation sheet 100 millimeters thick!"

This brings a grin to the electrified teens face, "I see!" sparks crackle along his body as he gears up for his ultimate attack, " In that case I can go all out!"

And he lets out all his power, indiscriminately hitting every villain in his vicinity, bringing out pained yelps and shrieks as they fall to the ground like flies. A few moments pass before Momo deems it safe enough to lift the sheet and she's satisfied to see that just about all the villains were down for the count. "Now then, I'm worried about the others."

She thought of what possible dangers the others could be in. Not that she wasn't confident in her abilities, but she isn't too prideful to say that she was happy to have been dropped with two more people accompanying her. But she's worried that that might not be the case for everyone. From Asui or Mina to… Peter. She shakes her head and pushes down the worry, she can't afford to be overwhelmed right now.

Jiro though is more worried about Momo current clothing predicament, "Wait your clothes got super punk!"

Momo isn't worried though and she smiles at Jiro, " I can make them again!"

Jiro notices Kaminari walking near them and covers Momo quickly, "Don't look over here!"

But she stops as she sees his eyes unfocused, a doopy smile on his face, drool and his thumbs up while laughing. Ummm ok?

Too distracted by Kaminari's current state, the heroes in training don't realize a hand has erupted from the ground behind them and are caught with their guards down as it suddenly is wrapped around Kaminari's neck, lifting him in the air. They barely get a step forward when,

"Hands up! No quirks allowed! If you use your quirks, I'll kill this guy!" he raises Kaminari higher, who's still sporting that dumb smile.

Jiro curse's, "He's got us! We let our guards down completely!"

5 more thugs awaken and circle protectively around the leader who's not letting his bargaining chip out of his hand any time soon. Momo tries to think about what she could possibly do when everyone suddenly hears,

"CROOOOOOTCH!"

The leader turns to where the sound is coming from and is met with Peter's crotch right in his face as he lands on his shoulders and doing a hip throw while at the same time, shooting a web at Kaminari and throwing him towards Jiro and Momo.

"Parker-san!" Momo smiles.

He salutes her, "Sorry I'm late I think I lost my invitation to the party!"

"Why you little—"

His spider sense goes off and he quickly slaps the advancing thugs legs out from under him then web yanks one villain into another before hopping between two others and webbing them both in the face and doing a helicopter kick that knocks them out, he webs them to the ground for good measure. One rushes him but Peter hops up and grabs his collar then places one foot at his hip and uses his downward momentum to launch him painfully at the mountainside face first. The villain he web yanked recovers enough to see that he is in a disadvantage. And so, he tries to strategically retreat but Peter quickly webs his feet to the ground, allowing the thug to knock himself out in his attempt to run.

The leader recovers and pulls out a knife, "Now you're in for it kid!"

Peter feigns fear and drops to his knees, dramatically cowering before the small weapon, "Oh my god is that a knife!?"

"Yes!"

"Is that a real knife!?"

"Yes it is a real knife!"

"My one weakness, it's small knives! Oh please anything but knives—"

Peter web yanks it out his hand before he even has a chance to think and Momo comes up behind him and uses her staff to knock him out.

He turns to her with a smile, "Hey great teamwo—whoa Momo!" he blushes and looks away, scrambling to get his hands over his eyes.

"Parker don't look!" Jiro shouts while pulling Momo back.

Mom looks confused for a second but with the breeze she realizes she hadn't recreated her uniform yet. She blushes and quickly creates new clothes.

"Sorry Sorry! I swear I didn't mean to look!"

Momo is still feeling embarrassed but notices the state hisuniform is in, "Nevermind that Parker-san, what happened to you?!"

Peter looks at himself and sees the scorch marks all over his uniform, the black hand imprint where his spider symbol is and his entire midsection is uncovered, with angry red skin and blisters all around. "I had a few fires to put out."

The weak joke is of course met with no laughter as Momo and Jiro are still concerned, "How bad does it hurt?" Jiro asks him.

He waves her off, "Not that bad, it's only painful when I exist. But this isn't the moment to focus on that. What we need to do is find a way back to Mr Aizawa, last I saw he was still surrounded by villains."

Jiro shakes her head, "No we need to figure out what exactly is going on or else we'll go in blind, I mean who knows how many more villains are around?"

Peter nods thoughtfully, "You do got a point there."

The sounds of groaning catches their attention and the leader of the villains is starting to wake up, but Peter is already upon him, webbing his hands and feet to the ground and then crouching down uncomfortably close to the villain. "Hey buddy, let's chit chat."

"I ain't gonna talk!" he spits.

Peter tilts his head menacingly, at least to the villain while internally he's asking himself, how the hell does this interrogation thing work? Let's see let's see, last movie I saw was a Batman movie, how did he do it again? He gets an idea and turns to momo, he winks through one of the broken lenses of his mask, "Hey Momo, your quirk was Creation right?"

"Yes it is."

"That means you can make anything right? Including say, knives?"

She picks up on what he's doing and smirks cooly, "Yes. Any kind I want too, some will slice through even flesh cleanly, while others, might tear a little more." She emphasizes this by slowly conjuring a shark knife, making sure that the 'teeth' were large and prominent.

The thug begins to sweat and gulps slightly. Peter then looks at Jiro, "And Jiro, what would happen if you put those jacks of yours in a person's ears?"

"Anything I want really. I could make their ears bleed… or I can emit a frequency that might even make a persons brain pop."

"Ohhh! That's so cool, have you done it before?"

She smiles and makes her Jacks slither in the air like venomous snakes, "No. But I'm always willing to practice." Her jacks slowly slink closer and closer to the villain.

"OK OK FINE I'LL TALK!"

"You sure you're not just saying that?"

He shakes his head so fast Peter was sure his head was gonna unscrew off his shoulders. "I swear on my mothers life I'll tell you anything!"

"Even the last time you wet your bed?"

"Parker." Momo reprimands.

"Right sorry."

"When I was 16." The thug admits.

Jiro has to turn around to hide her laughter behind her hand. Momo on the other hand just barely keeps her smile down.

"Tell us why you're here?" she asks forcefully, knife in hand.

"OK ok! A couple days ago some guy with hands all over him came to us with a big lump of money saying he needs a couple of guys for an important mission. When I asked him what it was he said he wanted to kill the symbol of peace! He promised us the bag of money plus more to do the job with the bonus of making history, we couldn't pass it up!"

The trio are taken aback, "They wanna kill All Might?" Jiro whispers.

"But that's impossible, All Might is.. All Might nothing can take him down!" Peter exclaims, finding the the whole mission to be absurd.

Momo is deep in thought, "But Parker, if they were willing to take this risk of attacking UA, who're known to have the staff entirely comprised of pro heroes, wouldn't it be because they felt confident they would succeed?"

A cold chill slowly makes it's way down Peter's spine, "if they have a way to kill All Might… then that means Mr Aizawa is in danger!"

He turns to run to where he believes the entrance was but Momo grabs him, "Parker wait! You can't go off on your own like that!"

"The only one who's on his own right now is Aizawa and the more time we waste the more likely he'll be dead by the time we get there!"

Momo grits her teeth, "I understand your need to help I do but we need to think this through!"

"I already have." And he goes to leave again but once again Momo stops him.

"Parker please—"

"Momo I'm sorry but I can't just do nothing and let someone die again!"

She jerks back, "… Again?"

Peter yanks his hand back and takes a few breathes to settle his heart, his throat thick with emotion. Jiro speaks up, "He's right Momo."

They're both surprised but she continues, "Aizawa is in danger, we have to do something. Look I'll stay back to keep the idiot," she gestures to Kaminari who's still walking around with thumbs up, " safe until his screws aren't loose anymore. You two have quirks that'll make you more useful to Aizawa right now, you two should go ahead."

Peter nods, impressed, "That's a good plan Jiro-san!"

She smiles, "Thanks."

Momo sighs, "Alright then I guess it's settled. Once you're ready head to the entrance, see if you can find any more of our classmates on the way!"

"Got it Yaoyorozu-san now go!"

Jiro supports Kaminari as they start to head to the entrance and Momo faces Peter, "I can create a moped to get us to Aizawa sensei quickly enough but it'll sacrifice a lot of my lipids to do so, reducing my effectiveness in a battle."

Peter checks his web shooters and sees that the carousel he created had already reloaded fresh cartridges in them. "Luckily I got a way to get us there, though fair warning it might be a bit jarring and I'm still kinda new to it."

She shrugs, "Being a hero is all about taking necessary risks right?" she smirks.

Man she's really cute when she does that—focus Peter!"Well then if it's all the same to you it's time to start riding Air Spidey!" He wraps his arm around her waist, both of them blushing at the closeness of their bodies.

He gets to a running start a leaps high into the air. Though it's too low for them to swing, late night practices with his web shooters allowed Peter to find a way to fast travel in low areas, mostly by doing what he affectionately refers to as web zipping. Short web strands that a taught right away and with a pull with superhuman strength, he's able to cross great distances in a short amount of time! It doesn't take that long for them to get to the edge of the plaza, where a horrible sight greets them.

Peter's heart drops when he sees Mr Aizawa face down in a puddle of his own blood and his broken goggle laying near his head. What's truly scary is that the hulking beast they had witnessed shortly before being separated is standing over his body, ready to deliver the killing blow. Momo's hands fly up to her mouth, "Oh my god!"

Peter's shaking his head whispering to himself, "Not again, not again! No No no no no no no! NO!"

Right then Izuku appears out of the water with his whole body glowing. Peter smiles in relief at the sight of his neighbor, who zips quickly to the monster and lands a few blows that seemingly do nothing until he focuses all of his power into one arm and hits the monster right in the gut. Peter's spider sense warns him of the blowback and he instantly pulls Momo into him as the wind hits them with a force of a white squall. Peter peeks over their cover to see the aftermath and whatever hope he had of the monster being defeated… fizzled out as he sees that though Izuku is ok, the monster seemed to be completely unaffected.

"Oh shit." He turns to Momo, "I gotta help Midoriya somehow!"

She nods, "Go! I need a moment to create something but I'll assist you!"

He nods and webs a strand on a nearby tree. He rears back more and more until he's satisfied and leaps, the force of the tree pulling him launching him high into the air. He shoots a web by the monsters feet and swings downward towards it, "INCOMIIIIIIIIIIIING!"

Both feet plant themselves at the monsters chest, sending them both into the ground and he backlfips off of him. Izuku smiles widely, "Parker-kun!"

"You're crazy if you think I'd miss this party!"

The hand covered villain sighs and scratches his neck, "More kids? That's so annoying."

The creature is rising out of the hole created by the impact, still betraying no emotion on it's horrible face. Peter crouches into a spider like fighting stance, "Alright Midoriya, any ideas on how to take down big bird?"

"I got nothing."

"...Ok well there goes my confidence in our chances."

The hand guy commands, "Nomu, dispose of these kids."

The creature immediately obeys, and Peter barely reacts, narrowly evading the creatures fist. "Whoa that thing is way faster than it looks!"

"I noticed!" Midoriya screams back as he activates one-for-all 5% full cowling. Peter looks at him, "Hit and run?"

He gets a nod back, "Hit and run!"

They two attack Nomu from either side. It swipes at Peter who slides under it's massive arm and Midoriya punches it's beak while it was looking at Peter. Nomu makes to grab Midoriya but Peter shoots a web at it's hand and wraps it around it's chest, webbing the other arm when it tried to grab his strand and he crawls all over his body exactly like a spider. Covering it from head to toe in webs before sliding a good distance away and emptying out the cartridges on the Nomu until it and a 6 foot radius was nothing but webs. The carousel pops off the empty cartridges and loads a new one.

Midoriya lands next to him, "how long will that hold it?"

"I don't know, I've never tested the exact limits of my webs tensile strength and I don't even know how strong that thing is. Optimistically, maybe a couple minutes?"

Nomu frees an arm. They both sweat drop, "Realistically maybe a couple seconds." He corrected.

"Nomu, free yourself and kill these two."

Peter notices that Nomu follows his commands without question and gets an idea, "Midoriya, when you see an opening, get that guys hand off his face!"

"What for?"

"Just trust me!"

Midoriya's expression turns determined and he nods. Nomu frees himself completely and they two dash forward and deliver a double punch to it's face, knocking it back. Nomu catches Midoriya and pins him to the ground but Peter webs his face and leaps over him. He lands behind the Nomu and pulls him onto his back.

"Let's play a game of tag big guy!"

He hops out the way as Nomu rushes to where he is, again barely grazing Peter as he dodges. Peter shoots web balls at Nomu to catch it's attention, doing exactly so. The hand guy is watching the battle with little interest, providing Izuku with the element of surprise and he pounces on him, knocking him down and he quickly grabs the hand that was on his face before dashing away. Now! Peter leaps in front of hand guy who stumbles back startled. "Terrible fashion choice by the way." And leaps again, giving hand guy the view of an incoming Nomu.

He yelps and rolls out the way just in time as Nomu creates a crater where he was. Peter again lands in front of him. "Right over here tall dark and ugly!"

Nomu narrowly misses both Peter and his master. Out of fear he orders Nomu, "Stand down Nomu! Stop fighting!"

Nomu freezes in place and Peter quickly shoots a web glob at the hand guys mouth preventing him from giving anymore orders. He dusts off his hands,

"And that's what I call a job well done!" Peter declares triumphantly, feeling quite proud of himself for thinking of such an effective strategy.

But his moment of victory is cut short by his neighbor,

"Parker-san his quirk!" Izuku yells as he rushes towards Shigaraki, who's hands are inching towards the webbing.

"He turns anything he touches to dust!"

Peter notices Aizawa's injuries, his elbow looking like it's exposed down to the bone. No weapon could do that… only a quirk. "Oh shit!"

Peter shoots a web strand but a black vortex emerges in it's way, redirecting the webbing. Peter's spider sense tingles and he turns, cocking a fist and throws a hook. Unfortunately Kurogiri was anticipating this and opened a small vortex where his fist was heading and opening one right next to Peter's face making him throw a full force punch. Peter feels his teeth rattle and his cheek throb as he unintentionally knocks himself out.

"Parker-san!" Midoriya calls out but he can't check on his friend as Shigaraki dissolves the web and orders Nomu to attack once more.

Nomu smacks Midoriya out the way and stalks towards Peter who's stirring back into consciousness but not quick enough. He's upon Peter now and raises both fists to squash him like a bug but thankfully, Momo fires a cannon at Nomu, flinging him head over heels away from Peter. "Parker-kun! Are you ok?"

"So much better now! You really saved my butt there!"

"Watch out!"

Spider sense flaring, Peter flips back to his feet and kicks Nomu in the face then slides between his legs and kicks the back of it's head. Midoriya leaps into action and kicks the back of Nomu's knee, dropping him and Peter webs both of it's arms to it's torso. He knows it won't restrain him for long, but it gives the two an opportunity to deliver a barrage punches to it's beak, but it seems like no matter how hard Peter is hitting, it's not doing anything to it. It tears open the web, catching Midoriya in his side and catching Peter's round kick, it smashes Peter back on forth to the ground before throwing him into Izuku. They both tumble and groan form the pain. Peter gets off Midoriya, "You holding up alright?"

"I could be better." Peter wheezes.

His spider sense tingles and Izuku yells "watch out!"

Not caring for his own safety, Peter pushes Izuku away but doesn't have enough time to escape the tackle from Nomu, he yells as he feels his already cracked ribs break and he coughs up blood. Nomu smashes Peter to the ground and stomps it's massive foot into his chest. Peter feels an overwhelming pressure as it pushing harder and harder into his chest. He's desperate to breath and his vision begins to darken when once again Momo fires the cannon right into it's back, knocking it off Peter. He inhales deeply, wincing at the pain of his ribs but otherwise thankful to be able to feed his lungs oxygen. Nomu gets back up and digs its fingers into the ground and rips up a large chunk of earth. "Can't we talk about this!?"

It throws the rock towards Momo but Peter runs and shoots a web, catching and swinging it right back at Nomu. It punches it, shattering the boulder raining small rocks and dust into the air. When the dust clears Peter is in the air swinging Izuku straight into Nomu, stumbling it but it grabs Izuku and throws him skipping into the water. Peter lands near it,

"Ok so you don't want to talk?"

Nomu screeches but is cut short by a web glod to the mouth. "there you go then!"

It rips off the web but Momo's cannon hits him again. This time it doesn't stumble him and he leaps towards the star student. "Shit no!"

Peter shoots webs at it's back and yanks on it then jumps allowing it to propel him rapidly towards the Nomu. Who turns in air to see what was pulling on him, only to be met by a firm kick to the face and a downward push kick that sends it careening to a stumbling halt 20 feet before Momo. She conjures up a flash grenade and opens the pin waiting. Peter lands next to her and picks her up bridal style just as Nomu starts towards them again. She throws the grenade at it's face, Peter leaps away just as it goes off, blinding the monster. He lands near the plaza and gently places Momo to the ground. "Are you ok?"

"I should be asking you that, you and Midoriya aren't doing well!" Her frightened gaze dancing along his injured body, getting worse as she sees fresh blood dripping from some wounds.

"I noticed. There's not much we can do, honestly we're just trying to survive until more pro heroes arrive!"

"I can make another cannon in the mean time—"

"No! you should go and find the rest of the class and try to get them out of here!"

"I can't leave you two to fend for yourselves!"

"Most of the class is though and they need someone to get them out, they need a leader, that's not me that's you! It's why I voted for you!"

She doubles back, "You… you voted for me?"

He chuckles, "Yea! You're the most capable person in our class, if there's anyone they'll listen to, it's you!"

Momo feels very conflicted but she can't really argue that much, it's true the rest could be in danger and they need to be rallied. Though they aren't in great shape, Peter and Izuku are holding their own against the monster. If Iida has gotten to the Pro heroes already, then help will arrive soon enough. So she decided then,

"Alright, but be careful, or else you'll experience the Class Vice Representative's wrath." She teases.

He smiles, "Don't you mean assistant to the Class Rep?"

They laugh but Nomu screeches again and Midoriya yells as he's knocked down again. Peter doesn't waste time and web zips straight into Nomu but Nomu catches him by the chest and smashes him into the ground brutally, his head bouncing off the concrete. Nomu smacks Izuku out the air and stomps on Peter almost at the same time, making Peter cough up blood again. It grabs ahold of both of Peter's arms in either hand and lifts him in the air, stretching him painfully.

"Those webs of his are way too annoying, destroy them." Nomu crushes the web shooters, fracturing his wrists and Peter screams in pain.

Nomu changes Peter into one hand around his neck and catches Izuku by the neck in the other hand.

"Good Nomu. I always thought it was cool when people heads explode in videogames, so Nomu…. Squeeze their necks until their eyes pop out." He giggles a little in anticipation.

Nomu starts squeezing their necks slowly, the pressure rising higher and higher. The boys struggle against it's hands but they're all but powerless, it's fingers not budging in the slightest to their waning strength. Peter is desperate for air once more, his hearing going slowly, black splotches dancing in his vision, and the veins in their heads becoming unhealthily prominent. Peter's hands drop, death all but certain…

An explosion near the entrance rocks the whole building. Shigaraki smiles, "There he is. Leave them Nomu, focus on him!"

Nomu drops the two in a heap and they lay there. Both unable to do anything but greedily fill their lungs with air.

"It's fine now, I am here!" All Might confidently announces.

All the students cheer while all the villains start to tremble. Because the symbol of peace, the man who saves the day always with a smile…. Is not smiling.

"We-we can take him! Look how many we are!? WE work together and we can take that mother fu—"

In the blink of an eye All Might is standing 20 feet away from Nomu, all the villains behind him knocked out in his wake. His rage burns brighter as he sees the battered forms of Peter and Midoriya. Through gritted teeth he orders, "Everyone, go to the entrance. I'm leaving these 3 to you."

"Ribbit."

Peter can barely register what's happening as he feels himself being dragged. His breaths come out in wheezes as the sounds of a battle keeps him awake. The dragging stops and he feels himself being dropped to the ground as an explosion rocks the building once again. He rolls onto his back and opens his eyes, ignoring the stinging from the brightness. "Parker."

He hears far away, "Parker."

He feels someone poking him and he turns his head, it's Midoriya. "Parker, we n-need to h-help All M-Might!"

"Huh?"

"He doesn't h-have t-time!"

Izuku doesn't wait and pushes himself onto his feet with great effort. "Wait." Peter weakly calls out, it's barely even a whisper, "Stop, m-midoriya wait!"

Peter's eyes focus and he sees All Might pinned by Nomu, about to be torn apart by the vortex being. He curses and struggles to push himself back on his feet, "Come on Peter, get up!" he orders himself, "Get up, or they'll die!"

HE's on all fours and he grits his teeth, "GET UP!"

He's sprinting now, He can hear Tsuyu and Mineta calling after them but he ignores them. He's already side by side with Izuku and he holds out his hand. Izuku grabs it and Peter spins him in the air before throwing him like a missile straight into Nomu. Kurogiri tries to open a vortex but Peter sees his body and, guided by his spider sense, aims his webs at it and pulls himself into his armored body. Kurogiri grunts as Peter pins him down and starts digging his fingers into the metal, it bends under the pressure of his strength and he threatens, "Try anything and I'll rip your world a-fucking-sunder!"

This seems to signal something as spikes of ice rise from the ground and freezes over Nomu, "Todoroki!"

Shigaraki tries to free him but an explosion knocks him back, "DIE!"

Bakugo lands near Peter and places an explosive hand on the metal as well. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm glad to see you Bakugo!"

"Shut it gaijin! I knew you were so weak I had to save you all!"

"I'm too exhausted to argue so whatever floats your boat."

Shigaraki snarls at the new development, "In addition to capturing them, they're almost all uninjured. Kids these days are amazing. They're making the league of villains look bad!" he looks at his slave,

"Nomu."

That's all it needed as it screeches and exits the vortex, ripping off it's frozen arm and leg. It stumbles to the ground but almost instantly regrows new limbs. It's lifeless eyes unfocusing then focusing on All Might. "Everyone get back!"

All Might's orders falls on deaf ears as they all stare in horror at the monsters regrowth. "I thought shock absorption was it's only quirk!?"

The hand covered villains lets out a sinister chuckle, "Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%. He's a super-efficient sandbag!"

All Might clutches his wound tighter and the rest of the group stand ready.

"First we need our gate back, so Nomu?"

Nomu understands. Almost in slow motion, everyone watches as Nomu moves with unnatural super speed, directly to Bakugo, who between Peter and him, has the more dangerous quirk to kurogiri. Peter's eyes widen as he sees the fist rear back and start closing in on the blonde. Peter yells no! and moves, Pushing the Blonde away and taking his place. This leaves him to take the direct hit from Nomu. Pain explodes throughout his entire body as he's flung head over heels into the trees decorating the surrounding area, he comes to a brutal stop, his body leaving an imprint in the ground. He's to hurt to even move his body all he can do is breath. He fights as hard as he can to keep his eyes open but eventually, his world turns to darkness.

Now in his depowered form, All Might stares into the nurses room that's holding Peter Parker. He and Izuku had just been released from Recovery Girl's office after giving them a clean bill of health. He runs a thin hand through his hair. The battle was hard, much harder than it used to be. He curses himself for wasting so much time beforehand, not only was he at his weakest but now after exerting himself more than he should've to defeat Nomu, his timeframe for hero-work has been severely reduced. As he had told Midoriya, he's barely got an hour left in him now. A wave of depression hits him. Only an hour left. He had dedicated his entire life to being a hero. To doing the right thing and bringing hope to the world. He always knew that it wouldn't be forever, One-for-All was to be passed down after all. And he has largely accepted this, but there's a small part of him that's… scared. Scared for what he's gonna do next in his life. Scared for what might happen in the time before Izuku finally fulfills his destiny of being the new Symbol of Peace. And scared for what will happen once Izuku does so. Truly All Might as come to care for Izuku gratefully. And seeing him so battered by Nomu, it had given him the strength to fight. But not just his battered form, but that of Peter as well. He shakes his head, remember the last attack that truly landed him in Recovery Girl's lap. Just like a hero, his body moved before he even had a chance to think, taking that hit for bakugo. If he were honest, Peter would be a great candidate for one for All in another life. But All Might doesn't think he would've accepted it, he seems like the person who'd rather take the world on on his own. He can respect that.

Hearing footsteps, All Might panics and strains to inflates himself to his powered form just in time.

"Al- Sensei!"

Izuku pants as he stops next to his mentor worry marring his face, most of class 1A catching up with him, "How is he?"

Momo asks, "What did Recovery Girl say about his condition?" worry lacing her voice.

He raises a hand which shushes the students, "He's doing fine now, recovering well. He was injured badly before but thankfully there's more to his quirk than we all thought. He was already rapidly healing by the time Recovery Girl used her quirk on him. Right now he's just resting to recoup from the stamina spent in his recovery."

A collective sigh of relief is released by the class. "Can we see him?" Izuku asks.

All Might shrugs, "You can but there's no telling when he'll wake. You can wait if you want, otherwise you can see him in the morning."

Izuku quickly says, "I'll stay!"

"So will I!" Momo states.

Nodding, All Might quickly rounds the corner away form the class then deflates, struggling to keep himself on his feet as he slides his back down from the wall.

The rest of the class wait a while before they start to head home, their parents no doubt worried sick. Momo goes inside the room and takes a seat near Peter while Izuku stays outside the room, with All Might joining him once the coast was clear. He hesitantly addresses his mentor, "A-All Might. I need to tell you something?"

"What is it Midoriya Shonen?"

"I-I I didn't mean to but when we tried to help you, I told P-Parker-san you were out of time. I-I didn't say anything else from there! But I still betrayed your trust!" he bows deeply with tears streaming down his face, "I'm so sorry All Might!"

Toshinori emphatically pats the boys head and Izuku looks at him confused, "It's alright my boy. We were all in a tough situation. However, I don't hold it against you. Especially concerning him. He's a lot like you you know."

"Wuhh?"

"Even at the risk of his own life, without hesitation, he saved Bakugo shonen. His body moved… before he even had a chance to think." Right then, All Might makes a decision, "I have put you in a very tough spot Midoriya Shonen. And for that I must apologize."

He starts flailing, "Y-you don't have to apologize for anything! W-wait what're you apologizing for?"

"I thrusted upon you the heavy burden that comes with One for All, even worse, I've left you with no one else to carry that weight."

"B-But I'm not alone I have you All Might!"

"We just saw today that I'm not always around." Regret drips from his very being.

Glancing at Peter, he says, "But he is. And Parker Shonen has proven himself time and time again. You trust him don't you?"

Izuku smiles, "Yea. With my life."

Toshinori smiles at that, "I do too. So if you feel comfortable with it… I give you my permission to tell him about One-For-All."

"WHAAAAAAA!?"

"You don't have to tell him now, but whenever you're ready you can."

"I can't believe this…"

"Young Midoriya, it's as I said before, your true strength comes from those you keep around you in your life. Now I think it's time to say hi."

He points to a now awake Peter who's laughing with Momo.

(A Few Minutes Earlier)

Momo shifts in her set for the 4 time in 30 seconds. She feels uncomfortable and awkward but she owes it to him, she tells herself. Suddenly Peter starts groaning and opening his eyes slowly, "Uhh I feel like I just got hit by the A train, where am i?"

"You're in Recovery Girl's room."

Peter does a double take and squints his eyes at the raven haired beauty, "Mo—I mean Yaoyorozu—wait did you just speak english?!"

"Yes, I'm fluent in 8 languages, English being one of them."

"Wow you are full of surprises!" he shakes his head with a smile.

She returns a half smile to him, "I could say the same to you, you handled that Nomu very well with Midoriya-kun, you've improved drastically since the battle training! What's your training regiment like?"

He sheepishly rubs his the back of his neck, "I uh… I-I just watched a lot of wrestling and fight videos and used whatever worked."

"Oh…. Well if It works I guess."

"Yea."

An Awkward silence grows before Momo straightens out her skirt and stands facing Peter. He looks at her questioningly before she bows, "I must apologize Parker-kun. I should've done more to assist you in battle but I couldn't think fast enough and because of me you were severely injured. I'm sorry your trust in me was misplaced." Tears start to blur the vision her eyes.

"Oh no, Mo- Yaoyorozu you have nothing to apologize for! It was my choice to get in there, it was my choice to fight that thing, I knew the risks but I did it anyway. And my trust in you was not misplaced in the slightest, you lead everyone to safety, just like I knew you would!"

A watery smile grows and she bows once again, "Still I should've done more!"

"And I should've done better, we all have regrets but we did the best we could, just gotta hope for the best next time. And if there's ever a next time, I trust you completely to have my back."

The two share a genuine smile and once again Peter can't help but stare, is it my exhaustion that's making me see a halo and wings on her back? He shakes his head and says,

"You don't need to bow or anything when you apologize to me if you don't want to, I'm just some regular schmuck, nothing special."

She raises a confused eyebrow, "it is in our custom to do so though."

His mouth drops and he begins to panic, "Oh crap was that offensive!? I am so sorry!"

He stops talking when she giggles, "It's fine! I'm sure it's quite the culture shock going from New york to Japan."

"You have no idea! Hey so you really speak 8 languages?"

She nods, "Of course! My family and I travel to many countries for philanthropy and business meetings. I was taught at a young age different tongues so as to perfectly represent my family wherever we go." She says this matter a factly.

Though it may sound like it, Peter can tell she isn't bragging about her lifestyle, "… Wow, that's amazing! Here I am struggling with one heh. Also did not think I'd feel any more poor than I already do."

Her hands fly to her mouth, her eyes and tone apologetic, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate anything! I thought all students were taught multiple languages by the school curriculum!"

"Well I mean they do but not successfully. I mean my Spanish teacher was a 70 year old Russian man with a very very thick accent who spent most of the class teaching more about the soviet union than he did Spanish."

The raven haired beauty bursts out laughing out loud and just as quickly covers her mouth, a blush forming quickly. "Sorry I didn't mean to laugh that loud!"

Peter grins widely, happy to bring her such laughter especially after the gloomy way she was. "That's gotta be the cutest laugh I've ever heard."

Her blush deepens and his starts to form, "Oh… I said that out loud didn't i?"

She nods stiffly. Thankfully Midoriya bursts into the room, providing a much needed distraction for the pair. "Parker-san! You're awake!"

"Buddy am I glad to see you!" he mumbles, "Yup! Can't get rid of me that easy!"

Izuku stops, "I'm not trying to get rid of you though?"

"It's a saying—forget about it how're you?"

The three begin to converse, enjoying each others company. All Might smiles at their peace, happy that their All Alive.

A Black Vortex opens in Norman's office and molten Man walks in with a grumpy expression. "That kid was a lot more than a handful!"

"If you're looking for sympathy you've come to the wrong place, all I care about is if you got what I need."

Molten man snarls but nonetheless opens a small compartment in his knee high boot and takes out the syringe full of Peter's blood. Norman smiles as he sees his metaphorical golden egg, "Yesssssss." He holds him gingerly, afraid it might disappear.

"So is that it?"

"Yes you may leave, the money will be wired to your account."

"Hold on a sec, now I don't know what exactly you need that pissants blood for, but I'm pretty sure that that little bit won't be enough."

Norman glares at him, "What's your point?"

Molten Man smiles viciously, "If you're taking another crack at that kid, I want in, I gotta pay him back for dropping a mountain on me."

Norman's suspicious expression turns into an almost maniacal grin as he stares at the vial of blood, "You know, you're perfect for a particular project I've though of!"
