Into The Jump Force
"I am not ready for this..."
Izuku felt awkward standing there amongst several other people with much more... well, he wouldn't say unique costumes. Some of them were wearing what looked like Saiyan armor with the Naruto Hokage cloak over it. Weird mix-and-match costumes that very rarely had visual appeal and just looked like what a bunch of fanboys threw together that looked cool. But still, out of all of them he stood out like a sore thumb.
Mainly because he was wearing an ill-fitting Spider-Man costume with the tag still attatched.
Peter was standing beside him as the man who brought them together, Glover, with a bored expression on his face and a mug of coffee in his right hand.
"Ah don't worry about it." Peter whispered as he leaned down to Izuku. "This is standard Spider-Man stuff... I mean, it's happening to you way earlier than it did for me but still. It's no biggie."
"No biggie!?" Izuku whispered back in disbelief. "I just accepted that you're real! Now I had to find out that all the other Shonen Jump characters are real too and...!"
"Hey kid, I once had to fight this chick that knew how to kick and a lawyer from a video game." Peter replied with a shrug. "Almost hit it off with... I think her name Chun-something... which would've really helped me after the divorce but then she had to go. Look my point is that this happens a lot more often than you think. You might even hook up with someone and start a long-distance relationship while you're here."
"Peter-san, please be quiet..." Izuku begged his mentor. "I think Glover-san is trying to say something important."
"Ah, these types all say the same thing." Peter then pointed at Glover. "Watch. Now he's going to say, 'Our worlds have been plunged into chaos and destruction'."
"...Our worlds have been plunged into chaos and destruction." Glover said, word for word.
Peter made a face while mimicking the words through the opening and closing of his hand. "So goddamn melodramatic..."
Despite himself, Izuku could not help but snort and chuckle. He covered his mouth as now everyone was looking at him. Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Goku... all of them staring at him.
"Is something the matter?" Glover asked, his eyes boring into Izuku.
Izuku sweated and tried to speak up, but all that came out was a short wheeze. Everyone was looking at him! Oh god, he just made himself look like a dork in front of Naruto!
"Uh yeah!" Peter held up his hand. "Can we just skip to the part where you tell us what the Goober is?"
Glover blinked. "The... Goober?"
"Yeah, y'know the thing that stops Evil World Destroyer X from... well, it's kinda in the name." Peter shrugged. "I mean, the reason why isn't exactly important is it?"
Glover made a face and Izuku could see Goku nodding enthusiastically while Ichigo threw up his hands and said "Finally someone said it!"
"Galena and Kane are more than just your average..."
"Look, I've been through this kind of thing before and honestly, they're not." Peter replied blandly. "They just happen to punch harder or have some weird Goober of their own. So lets just fast-forward to the bit where you tell us how to get our Goober to stop theirs so that we can get home. Because honestly? I have better things to do than deal with this crap again."
Izuku buried his face into his hands as Naruto, Goku, Luffy, and Gon howled with laughter and Ichigo chuckled to himself.
This is so not how Izuku imagined his first Crisis would go...
Into The Jump Force: A Meeting
Izuku Midoriya thought it was a miracle he wasn't freaking out.
Just a few months ago he had been a Quirkless kid in Japan. No powers, bullied relentlessly, and seemingly barred from his dream to become a Hero, and then suddenly he got granted the power of his idol All Might. The past few months had been a hurricane of school work, Quirk Exercises, Villains, tears, and fighting.
Oh so much fighting.
Like, there were times when Izuku was wondering if whatever was in the clouds had something out for him and his class.
Just a few weeks ago All Might had fought his final battle against his arch-enemy All For One. It was the end of an era, and All Might had left the rest to him.
Izuku Midoriya had to shape up as quickly as possible to become the next Symbol of Peace in a world without one.
But this... was nothing Izuku had ever expected.
Izuku was practically in a daze for most of the day as he watched the Heroes of fiction run about or fight against corrupted copies of their comrades. Meanwhile, people (Who, quite honestly, looked like bad cosplayers) ran about aiding the Heroes while Izuku tried as hard as he could to keep up. Apparently the whole thing that lead to Izuku meeting and fighting alongside (or against) the Heroes of fiction had to do with two people trying to wreck the Multiverse of worlds known as 'Jump'...
...To be perfectly honest, Izuku hadn't been listening all that much. He had been trying very hard to not have a panic attack or pass out from all that had been thrown at him in the last few hours.
He had been pretty successful in that endeavor if he had to say so himself.
"This has to take the cake though..." Izuku gaped at the unmasked man wearing the Spider-Man suit and a mug of coffee in his hand, who's graying brown hair waved a bit in the wind. "Y-You're Spider-Man... Peter Parker right?"
"Well, I'm kinda glad that we got to skip introductions." Peter Parker said as he raised an eyebrow. "Uh... kid? You oka-?"
"I-It's such an honor to meet you!" Izuku said while bowing multiple times to Peter Parker. Peter Parker! The Amazing Spider-Man was right in front of him! The fanboy part of Izuku's mind squealed like a little girl and he had to force himself from making that squeal audible. "I never thought I would have this opportunity! I had thought at most I would get a signature from the aging Spider-Man in the New York Hero Retiree Ho-!"
He was silenced when Peter placed his hand on Izuku's head. "Deja-freakin'-vu." Peter muttered to himself. "Anyways kid, just calm down. You're making people look at us funny."
Izuku glanced around nervously and everyone was indeed giving them funny looks. Kazuma Kuwabara was giggling up a storm before Yusuke Urameshi elbowed him as they passed by.
"S-Sorry..." Izuku then reached into his belt and produced a small notebook. "W-Would you mind giving me an autograph?"
Peter looked at him oddly for a second, making Izuku shift nervously. Did he say something strange?
As if reading his mind, Peter responded with, "Sorry kid... I sort of just realized some things are multiversal."
Peter took the notebook and gave Izuku his coffee mug. After a few penstrokes they switched items again and Izuku saw that right next to Naruto's autograph was one that read 'Peter B. Parker' with a little Spider-Man mask in a circle.
Oh, and a small coffee stain just above Peter's name.
"Thank you so much!" Izuku shouted while bowing again. "I-I'm just so glad! I never thought a Western Hero would be in this! Honestly, from what I can tell things were relegated to just Shonen Heroes from Shonen Jump. I never thought Spider-Man himself would appear! Wait... does that mean you aren't the 'Canon' Spider-Man?" Izuku could not help but have his eyes drift to Spider-Man's gut. That would explain a few things...
Peter's face twisted to one of exasperation and his voice was one of annoyance. "Let me guess, 'That explains why he's so fat' right?"
Izuku could not help but jump, his eyes widening in freight and sweating from nervousness. "I-I'm sorry! I never would think something like that! I was j-just curious is all and...!"
As he mumbled profusely, Izuku cursed himself for getting himself into this mess. Just what was he thinking!? You don't call a Hero fat!
"Kid, let this be a lesson. Despite what those stupid comics say not everyone stays perfect twenty or thirty-somethings indefinetly." Peter motioned to himself. "Let me be Exhibit A for ya and..."
"Peter-san!" Izuku then looked behind Peter and saw a kid around his age run to them with a bagel in each hand. He was dressed in what could best be described as a cheap and ill-fitting Spider-Man costume with eyeholes revealing dark green eyes. "I got the bagels from the cafeteria just like you sai..." The kid's eyes then drifted to Izuku and they went wide. '...aiiiii...Uh... um..." He froze in place and his arms fell to their sides. "H-Hi...?"
"Oh! Hey kid!" Peter then walked over and grabbed the bagel being held limply by the kid's left hand. "Poppy seed... nice." Peter then grinned and motioned to Izuku. "Say, wanna introduce yourself?"
Was this the reason why Peter was here? On some alternate world did Shonen Jump publish a series centered around Peter mentoring a teenager in a Shonen manga? Odd... but Multiverse theory and all that.
"I-I'm..." The kid fumbled for words and he began slurring out, "Izuuuu...ru? Izuru." The newly named Izuku bowed in greeting.
Izuku nodded and bowed himself. "It's really nice to meet you Izuru-san! I'm Izuku Midoriya!" He smiled and said, "Wow... it's an honor to meet someone who's being trained by the Spider-Man! I mean, what's it like? I would imagine that web-swinging is nothing like it is displayed in the comics and..."
Peter groaned as 'Izuru' croaked out words before saying, "Alright, time to rip this off like a band-aid."
Peter then gripped Izuru's mask by the top and pulled it off.
Izuku Midoriya stopped mumbling and stared.
Izuku Midoriya stared at Izuku Midoriya.
Izuku Midoriya began to shakily point at his mirror image.
Then, as if on cue, the two toppled back and passed out.
Peter groaned and rolled his eyes. "Teenagers..." He then put his coffee on the ground and picked up both teens, hoisting them over his shoulders and began walking away. "Trust me kids, you'll thank me for this in your future."
Because lord knew the life of a superhero was weird enough for this to happen twice.
Potentially with another gang of vampires being involved.
