Chapter 6: S.H.I.E.L.D & A Spider

Lower Manhattan Area: 9:46 pm.

The Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly swung along the strong webb high above the crowds below. He stayed silent as he landed onto the side of a nearby building. He quickly skittered up the side until he came to the rooftop and jumped onto it. Suddenly a buzzing warn wracked his head and he looked up to find himself, face to face, with a… a small Spider-Man? The smaller boy looked up at the larger Spider. His costume was a deep scarlet, and he wore a hoodie? Talk about lack of thought much? Reilly cleared his throat as he stood up straight and stared at the younger Spider. His costume was black, with red webbing. Ben had to admit, he felt a little jealous. This kids costume was way cooler than Peter's old Red and Blues.


"Ummm… So, is this some sort of test or are you another spider powered hero too?" The younger boy asked, unsure whether he should be scared or just nervous.

Ben's thoughts snapped back to reality and he cleared his throat and took a step back.

"Err, Well, I'm not exactly sure how to answer that one kid," Reilly rubbed the back of his neck and watched the young Spider.

"Well. You're the Scarlet Spider right? I saw some videos of you on the news the other day. When you saved those people in that store," The young boy seemed, enthusiastic.

Reilly smiled slightly under his mask, then he walked over to the boy and held his hand out.

"Yeah, and I'm guessing you're the new Spider-Man. I've been hearing about you for a few months now."

Miles Morales, the new Spider Man. Since Peter Parker had died, he has tried his best to take up the mantle of the great hero. Ever since his encounter with an alternate reality Peter, he had grown more confidence. He even had a pair of his own web shooters now, and most of all, Parker's blessing. Miles nodded and took the Scarlet Spider's hand and shook it.

"I've just been doing what I think Peter Parker would want me to do," Morales answered.

Ben grinned under his masked and he nodded his head, "Well I think you're doing a damn good job."


Almost thirty minutes had passed since the Spider's had begun their conversation, and Reilly was surprised. This kid was under S.H.I.E.L.D's eye. He was being trained by Captain America himself, and Nick Fury seemed to like him well enough. Although Ben knew it would only be a matter of time until he got onto their radar. Morales suddenly jumped up and cried out.

"Oh no! I'm late! Crap, I'm supposed to be asleep right now, I have school tomorrow. It was nice meeting you."

With that, the young Spider Man shot out a web strand and swung away. Ben smiled and nodded his head. Then he swung away.


Reilly's Apartment: 11:19 pm.

Ben jumped through his open window and sighed in relief. He pulled his mask off as he walked into his bedroom. Laura laid there on his bed, ever in her undergarments. She held onto a pillow and slept soundly. Reilly smiled as he slipped into his bathroom to shower. He came out a few minutes later and Laura looked up at him.

"Hey, Sorry I was out longer than I expected," He said as he walked over to her.

She nodded her head as Ben slid into the bed beside her. She softly laid her head onto his chest and yawned. Despite this odd relationship, Ben had to admit it was nice. He had learned a lot about Laura since their first encounter. She too was a clone. Despite she was grown inside her mother, she was a lot like him. They both had nowhere to go, no one to really care for. So, this seemed better than being alone. As Ben slowly drifted off to slumber land, Laura gripped him tight. He hoped this wasn't going to end.


8:34 am.

Reilly woke to a knock at his apartment door. He slowly rose up and saw that Laura was already up and heading to the door. Ben quickly followed after her, but a little too late. Laura swung the door open, her bright lacy undergarments took Phil Coulson by surprise. He stumbled back and quickly tried to get him composure back.

"Umm… Ahem. Is a Ben Reilly living here?"

"Ben, there is a man here to see you," Laura called to him.

Ben quickly walked to the door stopped when he saw, Agent Phil Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D was already aware of him, and they has sent Coulson to check him out. Reilly sighed and nodded.

"Come on in Coulson," he spoke quickly.

Phil stared at Reilly for a moment then nodded as he walked into the small apartment.

"So, why do you know my name Mr. Reilly, and further more, where exactly did you come from?"

Ben looked over at Laura before he replied.

"Laura, how about you go take a shower and get dressed, I have to talk to Mr. Coulson."

She nodded and walked back into the bedroom. Reilly sat down into a chair and looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D agent.

"Honestly, I'm not sure how answer that," Reilly said to Coulson.

"Try me," Phil replied.

"Alright, hypothetically speaking, what if I were a clone of the original and now dead Peter Parker, but as I realized that Parker is deceased I decided to take my own name and try to live my own life, but because of the words of my, I mean Peter's Uncle Ben, I find myself still wanting to use my powers to help people, so I made a new costume and new identity to continue and fight as my own hero," Reilly spoke aloud and stopped.

Coulson clicked his tounge and stood still a moment, processing this information.

"Alright, say your story is true, how do you explain the fact that your clearly older than Peter was?" Coulson asked.

Reilly shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm still trying to figure that one out. But I've retained all of Peter's memories."

Phil nodded his head and rubbed the back of his neck, he definitely was not expecting a clone of Peter Parker. Unsure of how to handle this situation he looked to Reilly.

"Would you mind if I asked to come with me to the S.H.I.E.L.D H.Q?"

Reilly frowned and thought for a moment. He knew he wouldn't be able to fight off S.H.I.E.L.D, The Avengers, and anyone else they could throw at him. he nodded his head and Laura came out of his bedroom, clothed, and she walked to Reilly.

"I will go too," She spoke firmly.

Coulson eyed this peculiar girl, something was definitely familiar about her.

"I'm not sure that would be such a good idea," Phil spoke back to her.

Laura looked at him, then she held up her hand and two sharp claws came protruding out of her hand. Coulson blinked then he shook his head and rubbed his eyes.

"Umm, This is Laura, she's Wolverines daughter," Reilly spoke to Phil.

Laura hugged onto Ben tightly and looked at Coulson.

"I want to go with you," She spoke again, more firmly.

Coulson sighed and quickly nodded, how could he not bring her now?

"Alright alright, you can come too. We just need to sort this stuff out, and I need a well payed vacation for this."

The three left Reilly's apartment and got into a car outside. Ben held onto Laura as he was not sure how he was going to look in Fury's eye. And even worse, how was he supposed to face, everyone who new Peter Parker?
