480Disguised as a mountain sat the most technologically advanced country known in the world Wakanda where three scientists were meeting with each other to finish up a special project they have been working on. A circle gateway to other Dimensions.
"So Tony, do you think it is ready?" Dr. Banner asked as he was looking over last-minute predictions from their project.
"Well if Shuri is right about what could happen, then I say it is," Tony replied to his colleague as he was adjusting more bolts on the machine.
"Do you think it was wise to bring Peter along, though?" Banner was a bit cautious about Peter Parker being around this machine since no one could know what it could do.
"No. But then again, he has a knack for getting civilians out faster than anyone I have seen. So he is more of a just in case measure." Tony said as the door opened to reveal Peter and Shuri walking in.
"So I should build a Sonic Screwdriver just for fun is what you are saying, Peter?" Shuri asked as Peter had a fanboy smile on his face.
"Yes! Think about the cool things you could do with it and all of the help it could provide you! A little device in your pocket that can do many wonders!" Peter said as they heard Tony clear his throat.
"Don't let his charm nerd charm get to you Shuri, trust me all of us could do without it," Tony said as Shuri laughed.
"Too late for that, already have many things planned after this!" She said as Tony rolled his eyes and adjusted the last bolt.
"Alright, your turn Shuri," Tony said with a hint of annoyance.
Shuri jumped onto a board and started to read information and stuff. Peter would have listened, but he was looking around the room since this was the first time he was in it. Wakanda was already amazing, but this lab was where the wonders began. "Shuri is Willy Wonka and this is her Chocolate Factory," Peter mumbled as Dr. Banner tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey kid, you should listen," Bruce said kindly as Peter snapped out of it. Tony looked at him and noticed Peter's backpack.
"Why did you bring that along? Didn't I ask you to leave it on the jet?" He said as Peter began to fumble words around.
"O-oh! Yeah, I was going to Mr. Stark, but I uh, I just bought it with me because-"
"Stop talking, just forget about it," Tony said as Peter stopped talking. "Anyways, I want you to be ready. I didn't just bring you here for a field trip, I also wanted you to help out any civilians if things go wrong. Okay?" Peter nodded and fled the room quickly to put on his suit.
Once he came back he was wearing the previous suit that he had before the events with Thanos. Tony passed it off as he didn't care for why he was wearing it. "Alright people. Let's make history." Tony said as he started up the machine.
The machine began to make a big whirring noise with electricity shooting in between the circle as it was lighting up. As the four stood in awe, Peter's Spider Senses were going off, but he passed them off because of the machine booting up. Soon the machine stopped and a large pink opened up in the middle of it. "YES! WE DID IT!" Shuri yelled out as Tony clapped his together as if he was making a prayer, Dr. Banner was just chuckling as he didn't need to 'Hulk out', while Peter was looking starstruck.
"If anything, I am going to Fairy World at this rate." Peter then suddenly felt his Spider senses tense up as the machine then started to make a weird noise.
Everyone looked on as the pink circle started to change colors and the room began to shake. "Shit! It's falling apart!" Tony yelled out as he quickly put on his Iron Man suit while Shuri took control of the controls.
"It won't shut down!" She said as the portal then began to suck little things into it.
"If it gets worse, it'll suck us all in it!" Dr. Banner yelled out as he took cover.
"Peter! Stay away from it! Get Shuri and yourself out of here! Dr. Banner, stay here just in case I need the Hulk to break it!" Tony said as he was next to the machine trying to fix it. Peter was doing as told, but the strength of the portal only got stronger as he had trouble moving.
Shuri was hanging onto a piece of metal as her gloves had a magnetic field on it so it stuck like a magnet. "I am good here Peter, just get yourself away!"
Peter nodded and made for the door, but as the portal became more unstable it was now swallowing up larger objects. Peter shot a web at a wall to pull himself away, and then one to his backpack as he held onto it, but then suddenly the walls broke apart. "Oh no no no no!" Peter yelled out as he then hit by a piece of the wall in the head.
"Peter!" Tony yelled out as he tried to catch him, but he barely missed his leg. "NOOOOOOO!" Tony screamed out as suddenly a giant green fist ripped half the machine off, however, Peter already went through the portal.
"No! No! No! Peter!"
That was the last words Peter heard from his mentor as he was now in some weird rainbow-looking portal. "WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?! MR. STARK! SHURI! DR. BANNER! HELP ME!" Peter yelled out as he was separated from the debris and pushed into a new portal that opened up and into a new world.
Peter felt himself hitting a concrete ground as he spat out somewhere else. "Ow…" He simply said as he got up. An alleyway, not the best place to be. "Where am I?" He asked himself out loud as he looked down and saw his backpack. He picked it up to put it on his back. "Mr. Stark? Shuri? Dr. Banner?" Peter said as he looked around. He signed and looked up. "Might as well see where I am." He said as he put on his mask and climbed up the building. Once he was at the top, he looked and knew one thing. "I am not in Wakanda anymore." He said as noticed modern buildings were around.
"Uh...Karen, where I am?" Peter asked as he got no response. "Karen?" He tapped his mask as nothing happened. "Great. I think the portal destroyed her." Peter then looked at his suit. "I love the suit, but I look more cartoonish like this. I prefer something more…realistic I guess?" He said as he looked around and saw a billboard. "Is that Japanese?! Am I in Japan?!" He asked as he suddenly heard an explosion. Peter turned around and saw a massive explosion a few blocks away from him. "Oh great! No rest for the wicked." Peter said as he began to hop from building to building.
Spider-Man arrived on the scene and saw a huge sludge monster attacking part of the city. "Holy…! That looks a Scooby-Doo villain! Except it is real and can kill people!" Spider-Man said as he looked down and saw people in costumes standing around doing nothing. "Wait...are those heroes? Why aren't they helping or doing anything?" Spider-Man asked himself as he looked down at the monster again and saw a teen around his age being swallowed up by it. "He's got a hostage that's why! I have to do something!" Spider-Man said as he looked around to see what he could do. He saw pieces of a building lying around as he made a desperate plan. "Got no other choice here!"
Right before he could do anything, he watched as a person with green messy hair ran into the scene. "Is he a hero too?!" Peter asked himself as the kid threw his backpack and hit the monster in the eye as he then started to try and claw the hostage out of the sludge. "No, he's just an average person…" Peter said with admiration as he watched on.
Spider-Man saw the sludge monster getting ready to hit the boy as he raised an arm. "WATCH OUT!" He shot out a web and swung to save the green hair person, and did so as he moved him away.
The person looked at him and was shocked, "Who are you?!"
Spider-Man knew he had no time to answer as he responded, "Just stay here!" Spider-Man remembered the eye and shot web to a piece of large debris and swung it, hitting the monster in the eye.
"AHHHHH NOT THE EYE AGAIN!" The sludge monster yelled out as it held onto its eye before slipping it into its sludge to protect it.
"Now or never Peter! Save the hostage!" Spider-Man told himself as he shot a few webs at the hostage, and with great force, he pulled him away from the sludge monster, freeing him. The hostage then landed safely onto the ground next to the brave civilian.
"Kacchan!" Yelled out the green hair person who backed away from the fight.
"DEKU! SCRAM AWAY YOU IDIOT!" Kacchan barked back as Deku shrunk back a bit.
"How about you both get back!" Spider-Man yelled out as the other heroes were wondering and chatting about who this new hero was.
Before he could do anything else however, a big and muscular man came out of nowhere and began to pumble the sludge monster. "Kid! I really am pathetic!" Spider-Man was confused as he had no idea who he was talking too.
"All Might. But..." Spider-Man looked and saw the green-haired person, who he assumed was Deku, yell out his name.
"I told you the traits that make a great champion! But I see I wasn't living up to my ideal!" All Might said as he continued to rain fists on the monster. "Pros are always risking our lives! That's the true test of a hero!"
Spider-Man's spider-sense flared up as the sludge monster brought up a tentacle, "DAMN YOU, ALL MIGHT!" He yelled out as Spider-Man was quick to grab both Kacchan and Deku out of the way with his webbing as he swung the three of them out of the alley.
"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!" Spider-Man yelled out as All Might then yelled out.
"DETROIT SMASH!"
At that moment, all three of the teens saw All Might's fist completely obliterate the monster with a tornado being caused due to the force, but somehow not causing any more damage. All of them were in shock as Spider-Man was thinking in his head, "Did he just cause a tornado with one punch?! This guy is incredibly strong!" Spider-Man thought as everyone stood in shock still. It then began to rain as Spider-Man looked up. "And he changed the weather?! Holy crap Thor and Storm would be impressed!"
Soon everyone was cheering for All Might as Kacchan and Deku looked at Spider-Man.
"Who...are you?" Deku asked as Kacchan huffed.
"Your outfit looks lame."
Spider-Man looked at him, "Is that your way of saying 'thank you?'." He said as Kacchan left.
"Don't mind him. He's always been like that." Deku said as Spider-Man turned his attention to him.
"You don't have powers do you?" Spider-Man asked as he crossed his arms.
Deku looked down and signed. "No...I'm sorry I rushed into a fight."
Spider-Man was confused now, "Why apologize for doing the right thing? You were brave enough to rush into a battle when everyone else with powers stood around. That guy could have died if it weren't for you. A real hero does what it is right whether or not they have powers. I think you are a real hero pal." Spider-Man said as Deku looked at him in shock and a bit of happiness.
"I…thank you," Deku said as he bowed to the new hero.
If the mask wasn't covering his face, Peter was clearly smiling. "I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man by the way. I'll see you around." He said as he swung away. Deku watched him go, only to then hear the other heroes call him over and began to scold him for going into battle. Deku wasn't listening to them as much though because of what Spider-Man told him made him feel there is still hope for him to be a hero.
Spider-Man fled the scene before anyone could get to him. Sure he would have liked the attention, but that wasn't important at all in his mind. He sat on top of a building as he took off his mask. "I hope Deku isn't getting to much trouble; I heard the heroes scolding him for doing the right thing when they weren't. What 'heroes'." Peter said as he listened closely to the crowd. "Wait…why can't I understand them now?" Peter thought about it for a second before he realized his answer. "Oh right! The translator in my mask. Karen might be out, but the translator isn't. Might as well take it out and fit into my ear so I can understand everyone without having to wear the mask all the time." Peter took off his backpack before another thing hit him. "Wait…I was wearing my backpack the whole time?" Peter said as he shrugged off the thought and began to fiddle around with the mask and whatever simple supplies he had in his bag. Soon he was done and fitted the translator in his ear and turned it on. He had a little bit of web silk leftover so he could cover it up in his ear that way it won't get lost.
"So! You are the one who saved the two boys and battled the sludge monster! I praise you kid!" Said a booming voice behind Peter as he jumped up in a fright and quickly put on his mask. He saw it was the same muscular man from before.
"Oh. It is you. One Punch Man, except you, can change the weather." Spider-Man said as All Might chuckled.
"Let's leave the anime references out for now." He said as Spider-Man nodded. "So, who are you, newbie? I have never seen you before."
All Might asked as Spider-Man did not know what to say other than to improvise his answers. "I am your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man," Spider-Man answered with a thumb up.
"Are you a licensed hero?"
Now Spider-Man was stumped. "A...what?"
All Might kept his smile on as he continued, "You know, your Hero License. Every hero needs one in order to use their powers here. So I ask again, where is yours?"
Spider-Man knew he could not get away with this. He wished Mr. Stark would pull him away from this world already. "I…don't have one," Spider-Man answered as All Might's smile turned neutral.
"Why is that? You know that is against the law, right?" All Might as Spider-Man was taken aback.
"L-laws?! There are laws for heroes to use their powers?!" Spider-Man said in a very panicked state. "Oh, this isn't good!"
Now it was All Might's turn to be confused. "Did you not know this already? Kid. Who are you?" Spider-Man wouldn't answer as he looked away. He wanted to tell him, but how could he trust a stranger? Sure he was a hero, but even then heroes in his world don't go around sharing identities or personal information. "Kid. Do you have any idea who I am?"
Spider-Man looked up at him, "I heard them calling you 'All Might'." He answered back as All Might then smiled again.
"So. Not from around here huh? Different world, universe, dimension?" All Might as Spider-Man looked stunned.
"How did you figure that out so quickly?"
All Might just laugh as he answered back, "In our line of work, anything can happen! And trust me, when any new hero sees me, they never skip on a chance to talk to me!" He said as Spider-Man laughed nervously back. "Okay kid, I'll cut you slack. Seeing as you are new here, and you look young enough to be a teen, I'll help you out." All Might said as Spider-Man bowed.
"Oh thank you, Mr. All Might!" He said as All Might laughed again.
"Just call me All Might. Just answer my questions please." Spider-Man nodded.
"Alright. Ask away."
"What is your quirk, er...or power?" All Might asked.
"Pretty much what my name describes my powers. I have the powers of a spider and other abilities which are wall-crawling, enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, durability, stamina, a healing factor, and agility. I also have this sixth sense that alerts me of any dangers I call 'Spider-Sense'." Spider-Man answered.
"So you were born with the powers of a Spider huh? That is an interesting quirk." All Might said as Spider-Man shook his head.
"No, I wasn't born with them. I was bitten by a radioactive spider when I was on a field trip." All Might felt his heart skip a beat. He could relate to this kid more than he realized. They both had a similar way of how they became heroes. Both born without powers or quirks but were given them through other means.
"Alright then. I have more questions." All Might went on to ask about Spider-Man, his world, his level of education, age, and much more. "Okay kid. You seem pretty grounded. I have one last question for you." All Might said as Spider-Man was ready.
"Shoot."
"What makes a hero, kid?"
Without hesitation, Spider-Man answered back. "Doing the right thing, despite your abilities. It doesn't matter if you have powers or not if you see something happening and you know what to do is the right thing you do it. A hero can be anyone willing to stand up for others and put themselves at risk for the safety of others." Spider-Man answered back. He could have been better with his response, but he felt what he said was satisfactory.
All Might smiled widely at this. "Alright. You have convinced me to help you. I'll set you up with a place to live, money for supplies, and because the law says so, a school for you to go to for kids wanting to be heroes."
Spider-Man was relieved for this, "Oh thank-wait school for heroes?" All Might held up his hand in a friendly gesture.
"Yes, a school for kids who want to heroes. We call the ones who graduated and get a license pro heroes. Until you find your back home, you will have to follow our rules. Since I saw your potential when you handled that sludge monster, I'll recommend you take a test at our finest school in the world and it so happens to be here. The test will be 10 months so you have plenty of time to settle in and get ready before it starts." All Might assured Spider-Man before taking off his mask.
"Thank you All Might." Said Peter Parker as All Might looked down at him.
"I have gained your trust it seems." All Might said keeping his smile on.
Peter nodded and held out his hand, "You have, plus I can tell you mean every word of what you say and what you believe in about a hero. You remind me of someone from my universe." Peter said as All Might shook it.
"Right. Kid, meet me back here at 8:00 pm so I can show where you will be staying. I have other stuff to do." All Might said as he jumped away.
All Might made on his promise as Peter was in an apartment. It was moderate, not too fancy, but not poor either. It was good enough for him. Peter had dropped his backpack in his room, took a shower, and changed into his other clothes from his backpack. Peter was looking through his backpack on his bed with a lamp on when he saw his picture book. He took pictures of a lot his adventures and his friends in silly or serious poses.
He grabbed it and opened it up and looked through it. There were many pictures of his time as Spider-Man before he met Tony Stark. He also saw many of his friends and other heroes doing silly poses with him, especially Thor and King T'Challa. He smiled a lot seeing this until he saw one of his Aunt May.
Peter's smile soon faded away. He was so caught up on everything that was happening that he forgot that his Aunt might be having a heart attack about his whereabouts. Next to it was a picture of Tony Stark and him together. Peter stared at the pictures for a while before tears welled up in his eyes.
Peter was very much caught up in this world and he wanted to learn more about it, but he also wanted to go home. He was now missing his Aunt May very much and all of his friends. Peter wiped his tears away and put the book on a nightstand before turning off the lamp and having a restless sleep.
