- Timeskip 9:57 A.M -
Peter groaned as he woke up, rolling off the couch and he groaned louder. "Ow...That hurt..." He reached his hand under the couch, letting Venom cover him quickly as to avoid drawing attention to himself.
He slowly stood up and rubbed the back of hus head, checking the alarm clock Steven loaned him. "7:47 A.M...Seems like I'm the only one up..." He turned his head towards the kitchen and nodded slowly. "Yeah...We can make pancakes...right?" He asked Venom who grumbled eagerly. 'Yes! We will help you make them!' Venom said, making Peter grin and nod.
- Time skip: 9:47 A.M, Steven's pov -
He woke up and smelled the smell of pancakes in the air, smiling he hopped up and quickly got dressed, running to the kitchen to find Peter cooking pancakes! Usually it was Garnet making breakfast but this was a nice change. "Hey Peter!"
The sudden appearance of Steven made Peter jump, throwing a few pancakes in the air just as the other Crystal Gems came out to see Peter's amazing performance of catching all the pancakes, leaving Steven's mouth agape. "Nice reflexes!" He exclaimed while smiling, Peter just shook his head and chuckled, placing the plates of pancakes down.
"Thanks...Don't scare me like that again..." He laughed as Amethyst and Steven began eating, Peter noticed the other two not eating. "Lemme guess...Gems don't need to eat?" He asked while Garnet nodded, a small smile on her lips.
"Yes, but thanks anyways." She said, making Peter smile and nod before he began eating the pancakes he made for himself, Amethyst eating the other two plates of pancakes. Peter soon finished as he then took the dishes and began washing them, once finished he turned to everyone else.
"So...What are we doing today?" Peter asked, arching a brow upward in curiosity. Steven answered with a smile on his face. "We are going to find a Corrupted Gem!" He turned to Pearl. "Can Peter come with us? Pleeeeease?" He asked, Pearl was about to retort to this when Garnet stepped in. "Peter can obviously handle himself, he can come." Garnet said and Amethyst backed her up on this.
"Yeah! With those reflexes he'll be fine!" She said with a big grin, before turning to Peter. "By the way dude, are you that Spider-man guy that saved our butts yesterday?" She asked, Peter had to school his expression to act confused. "Who?" He asked, Amethyst deflated bit. "Oh nevermind."
[ Peter's pov ]
Peter stepped on the Warp Pad with everyone else, as they warped to a Kindergarten, Peter felt massive discomfort from the warpping as be had Venom in him at the time, he shook his head as they appeared and groaned, Garnet placed a hand on his shoulder. "You'll get used to it." She said and he nodded.
As the group walked further into the Kindergarten, the ground shook violently as the ground cracked, they hightailed it to a safe area, but unfortunately Steven didn't make it in time and the ground literally fell out from underneath him. "STEVEN!" The three gems exclaimed and Peter jumped after the boy, Venom leaking through the pores of his skin, covering him as Stecen, who was facing Peter, watched in amazement.
Peter grabbed Steven and shot a web line up, it attaching to the rocks and he yanked them up, they landed on the ground and immediately hugged Steven, as Peter's mask peeled away, he smiled at them as they looked dumbfounded.
Peter chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head, his suit had changed ever so slightly, now boasting less webs, some of which were ragged, mostly on his arms and feet, a larger spider on his chest and the spider on his back now filled in with white.
"Surprise?.." He asked nervously, as they continued to stare at him in confusion and disbelief.
A/N: I decided to introduce the Crystal Gems to Peter's secret like this, Connie will have to find out later, maybe during that time when Shattered fusions are invading the hospital where her mom works.
