The tale of two spiders

Powers and Responsibility

7:30 PM

Izuku and Ochaco just had the weirdest day, they wake up to find out their bodies had changed. But they continue on with their day.

Ochaco walks by a flyer, which catches her eye. 'Last 3 minutes against the champion and win 900,000 yen.' It said. 'Woah, well... we don't need the money right now. But it wouldn't hurt to gain a little extra.' Uraraka thought, knowing they were set with the contract her parents made. She then went to test her strength at a nearby punching bag machine. Inserting the coin, she deals a strong blow, nearly breaking the machine. With that high score, it was enough for Uraraka to grin. "Oh yeah!"

Meanwhile, Izuku studied his abilities with more precision. Izuku meditated in his room, focusing on his surroundings. He heard every insect crawling in the wall, the chatter from his neighbors, the AC above. Discovering a form of omnipresence. 'Interesting, I can read my surroundings very well and can detect any motion or sound. This is amazing.' Izuku thought. Then his mother knocked on his door. "Izuku, your father needs your help. We don't have much food, so he needs your help getting groceries." Inko said. "Ok mom!" 'This can also test my strength, carrying a lot of groceries.' He thought.

Later that evening, Uraraka fashioned a disguise so no one would notice her. A white sweater with a spider drawn on with spray paint. As well as a white ski mask that had her eyes showing. With her parents away at their job, she went to where the fight was held.
She went to the address where the match was being held. She is guided to where the contenders would be held and meets the other contenders. "Whats your name girly?" One of them asked. "Uh... my real name or stage name?" Uraraka asked. "Stage." He answered. "Uhm... the... Black Widow?" She shrugged. The others looked unamused. "That sounds like it's taken." One said. "How about, Spider-Woman." One says. Uraraka thought for a moment. "Cool."
The competition started, and as each contender got pummeled, the crowd riled up. "Now ladies and gentlemen, our last contender, she may not be that big, but she's a real man eater. Meet the spectacular Spider-Woman!" The announcer said, presenting Uraraka in her uniform. As she walked down, a few inappropriate and sexist comments were made to her. "Please, this will be a cakewalk." The champion said, 'three minutes, just survive that long, and that cash for my parents is mine,' she said to herself. The bell rang, signaling the fighters to brawl. The champion kept on attacking relentlessly, but Uraraka kept on dodging. The crowd, however, boo'd her. "Give us a fight! We don't want a game of chicken!" The crowd said. Uraraka, enraged by the taunts, dealt a fatal blow, knocking the champions jaw clean off. 'What the hell?' She thought to herself. The ref then started counting down, and then the champion timed out. "Our winner is Spider-Woman!" The announcer said, as everyone cheered for the brutality she caused.

Uraraka then went to the manager to get her money, since she was the only one who won. "Alright, missy. Here ya go. Now get move along." He said, giving her two banknotes, two 100,000 yen banknotes. "The ad sad 900 grand." Uraraka said. "Read again. For three minutes, you lasted less than that." The manager responded. "I may not have given a good performance, but I won and delivered a good ending." She responded back. "And gave my guy hospital bills." He said. "I want what I came here for!" She yelled. But the manger looks at her. "I missed the part where that's my problem." The manager said. Uraraka storms off, infuriated. But then, a man entered the office with a gun. "Give me the money!" He said, showing a bag. "Alright, alright." The manager said, putting all the money in the bag. The thief ran off and left. Uraraka saw the thief and let him get away. "What the hell? You let him get away with the money!" The manager yelled. "I missed the part where that's my problem." Uraraka responded, letting the guy go as revenge.

A few minutes later

Izuku was eating dinner with his father at their favorite noodle shop. "And then, we dared him talk to the popular girl and ask her out. The next day, we find them making out in the gym!" Hisashi says, telling one of his stories from his moments with his friends. Everyone was laughing from the events of the story, and Izuku was having a great time. "Well! We'll be on our way." Hisashi said, paying the bill. "Wait, a second dad, I need to use the restroom." Izuku said. "Ok, I'll wait near the car." Hisashi said. While Izuku was on the urinal, his father waited a few minutes outside but saw a suspicious man running. Hisashi confronted the man, asking what was wrong, but he then saw a gun. Izuku got out of the restroom and looked outside the window. He saw his father at Gun Point. He got shot. "NOOO!" Izuku ran through the glass, grabbed the mans sweater, and proceeded to beat him senseless. "Izuku! Enough!" He heard, turning around he saw his father coughing up blood. "Dad, no!" Izuku hugged his father.

Uraraka heard gunshots and went to inspect it. She saw her uncle laying on the ground. "Uncle Hisashi No!" She said, joining Izuku." Ochaco, Izuku." Hisashi said. "There is one thing I have to tell you." He said. "Please don't say that. You'll make it." Uraraka said. "Yeah, you will." Izuku said. "I've always loved you two. And I know you two love each other. I know you're both quirkless, but always remember this."

"That with great power, there must also come great responsibility."

Hisashi said. Before his eyes went dead. "No... No, no, no! NOO! DAD, PLEASE!" Izuku said, crying. "UNCLE HISASHI!" Uraraka said, crying as well. Uraraka then saw Izuku get up. He then approached the gunman, who was getting up. "YOU DID THIS!" Izuku said, bashing the mans head into the street. "WHY! HE DID NOTHING TO YOU!" Izuku yelled, breaking the mans arm. "STOP IT IZUKU!" Uraraka yelled. Uraraka pulled him back, cradling him as Izuku broke down. Uraraka looked at the man and was in horror.

It was the man she let get away.

One week later

Hisashi's funeral was held. Everyone he had ever met was there. Inko cried, unable to bear the passing of her husband, even the Urarakas. Although the man was brought to justice, it didn't change anything. Ochaco felt guilty. If she hadn't stopped the man, then Hisashi would be alive. Izuku also felt guilt. If he hadn't gone to the bathroom, then they would've avoided confronting him. But then the man would get away with robbing.
Later that day Izuku and Ochaco sat on the roof to his apartment. "Hey, Izuku about what Hisashi said..." Uraraka spoke up. "The responsibility thing?" Izuku asked. Uraraka meant something else, but she also thought of that. "Yeah, although he's gone, we'll still make him proud. He'll be watching us, wherever he is watching us from." Uraraka said. "Yeah! Let's make him proud!" Izuku said.
