In this chapter there's going to be a lot of back and forth between Izuku and the news and media talking about Spider-Man

Most people start their mornings with TV, exercise, or a nice breakfast. But for Izuku Midoriya, mornings are a little different. Today, as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, the city below still shrouded in the soft, sleepy fog of early morning, Izuku felt alive—more alive than he had in a long time. This morning, he didn't just wake up; he exploded into action, launching himself from the roof of a towering skyscraper, the wind whipping through his mask as he plummeted toward the bustling streets far below. The city was his playground, and today he was ready to play. His body arced through the air with grace, his web-shooters firing off in rapid succession as he swung between the glass-and-steel giants that made up the city's skyline. The world below was a blur of movement—cars, buses, and the early risers making their way to work—while above, he danced among the clouds. The adrenaline rush was intoxicating, each swing, flip, and twist reminding him of the freedom powers give you. Remembering his life when he was quirk less.  Izuku felt particularly energized this morning, a bright spark of vitality coursing through his veins. He wasn't just swinging; he was performing! Aerial somersaults, wall runs, and side twists became his symphony, each movement executed with perfect precision. The city was his stage, and he was the star, sticking to walls, leaping off with powerful kicks, and gliding effortlessly from building to building. As he reached the apex of a giant swing, Izuku threw himself into the air with all the strength he could muster. For a brief, exhilarating moment, he was weightless, suspended high above the city with nothing but the distant hum of traffic below and the crisp morning air filling his lungs. But as he relished in the freedom of the sky, his heightened senses caught the faint, urgent wail of sirens rising from the streets below.

Spider-Man: What do you got for me today, world?

The police radio embedded in his mask crackled to life, the voice on the other end sharp and filled with tension. Almost answering his call out for danger.

Police radio: We've got a car chase—armed suspects with guns and long-range quirks, heading through Uptown District 2.

Izuku's eyes narrowed beneath his mask. The thrill of the chase was calling, and with a final burst of speed, he shot forward, leaving the morning sky behind as he plunged into the heart of the city, swinging toward the scene of the unfolding chaos.

The news woman began, her voice smooth and welcoming, like a ray of sunshine itself. 

Mary Stacey: GOOOOD Morning everyone! I hope you listeners out there are enjoying that warm 80 degree July summer weather. This week forecast shows sunshine with no chance of clouds, so be sure to get out there and enjoy this gorgeous weather! It's the perfect time for a stroll in the park, a trip to the beach, or just soaking up some rays on your lunch break! 

Her tone shifted slightly, becoming more serious but still engaging, as she continued.

Mary Stacey: And now, onto today's morning hot topic because we here love to start the day off with a banger—the vigilante who's been swinging his way into headlines for months now.

Mary Stacey: Spider-Man.

Mary's co-host, J. Jonah Jameson—better known as J.J. to their viewers—He was an older man, with a gruff demeanor and a voice that could command a room, or, in this case, the attention of every viewer tuned in.

J.J: Spider-Man. This so-called 'hero' showed up at the beginning of the year, and ever since, he's been getting more active—too active, if you ask me.
