Pietro sat on his bed, studying for a big history test coming up. His chewed on the end of his pencile as he was looking for an answer to one of his study guide questions.

Todd bolted in Pietro's bedroom and closed the door, his back pressed against it.

"Todd? What's-?"

He stopped when he saw Todd had a black eye, a bleeding lip, his left shirt shoulder was ripped, and his right knee was bleeding.

"What happened?"

"Yo, I was comin' home from work, when some guy with blue hair, pale blue eyes, way taller and muscular then me, came up from behind me and dragged me into an alley! He beat me up and took my money!"

"What! Are you alright?"

"I'll live, bro. But I worked hard for that money."

Pietro pulled him into a hug.

"Don't worry. I'll get it back."

Pietro met Peter at his locker.

"Peter."

"Yeah, Pietro?" Peter was switching his books.

"I need your help. Actually, my friend needs Spidey's help."

Peter gave the speed demon his full attention. Pietro looked back and forth, then explained, speaking softly so no one would hear.

"I know I just found out about your secret last night, and I feel bad for asking you a favor, but after I left your place and went home, all of my housemates, except my friend Todd, were home. I went to my room to study and two hours later, Todd came in my room and he had cuts and bruises on him. He told me someone mugged him on the way home from his job. He described the who did it, so I thought maybe you could help me catch this guy so he never hurts my friend again or anyone else."

"Yeah, sure. Of course I'll help." He would never let anyone get away with hurting his friends, so of course Peter would help his new friend bring someone who hurt one of his friends to justice.

"Thanks, man. I owe you."

Pietro and Peter were on top of a tall building. Peter was in his costume without his mask on and Pietro wore his sunglasses.

"And how do you know he'll be in this area?" asked Peter.

"Because I went under cover and got info out of other thugs that rome the streets," said Pietro. "The guy who mugged Todd, who calls himself Blu, spelled B-L-U in stead of B-L-U-E, goes in different alleys and waits for people who are smaller and weaker then him to grab and beat. I was told he'd be hear today. Hopfully he didn't already mug someone."

"Let's do this." Peter put on his mask.

Pietro walked on the sidewalk, pretending to count the money he had in his hands as he walked.

"Another job well done," he anounced to himself. "Another awesome pay came my way."

He put the money in his pocket as the passed the alley he hoped Blu would be in.

He was 'cause Pietro felt someone grab his shoulders and slam him into a wall. Normally, he fight back and win, but he needed to pretend being weak to catch Blu off guard.

"Alright, ghost boy, hand over all the money you have and I promise not to hurt you too much!" demanded Blu.

Pietro smirked, then cried out, "Someone please help me!"

"No one can help you!" Blu took Pietro sunglasses and put them on. "Now you better hand over-"

Blu gave out a "Whoa!" when Spider-Man's web hit him in the back and pulled him up.

"Why don't you muggers pick on anyone your own side?" asked Spidey.

He took off the sunglasses and tossed them to Pietro.

"And I'm NOT a ghost boy," said Pietro. "If I were, I couldn't touch this." He picked up a long pipe. "Or do this." He hit Blu in the stomach, then in the face. The he smacked him into a wal. Spidet webbed his hands and feet to he was stuck there. Then his webbed his eyes and mouth shut.

Pietro went through Blu's pockets and found the right amount he took from Todd.

"Thanks again, man. You rock."

"Any time."

Someone knocked on Todd's door.

"Come in, yo," said Todd, snagging a fly with his tounge.

Pietro came in with a smile.

"Why you so happy, Tro?"

"Look what I have," he said in a singing tone.

The speed demon handed his toad-like friend the money. After Todd finished counting it, his eyes widened.

"Th-this is the amount I lost to that mugger!"

He look at Pietro with surprise.

"You got it back for me?"

"Of course I did, Todd. We're friends. I do anything for you and the others."

Todd gave the speed demon a hug.

"Thanks, Tro."

"No prob."
