Answers to reviewers questions or statements:
Spawn Hades: No that looked like Spider-man going toe to toe with Thanos which means only one thing… bravest mother fucka on earth!
Jaeson Chandler: It might have, if the went the same route that they went with Wonder Woman it would have been a great movie but then they had to bring in Joss Wheldon and keep using Snyder's vision which honestly everyone is getting tired of. Here's hoping that the embarrassing results that Warner Bros got from this film wakes them the hell up. But I doubt it.
treyalexander63917: Nova Corps no because honestly, I'm pretty sure Thanos will have wiped them out to get that Power Stone. As for the Guardians of the Galaxy, yeah, they'll show up later on. Yeah Thor Ragnarok is happening, it's why Thor and Hulk aren't around at the moment. His powers will somewhat change once he starts to sleep with Wanda, but nothing too major.
Wingd Knight: I was thinking of using younger members from both the X-men, Inhumans and other young heroes like Ms. Marvel and Johnny Storm for Peter to hang out with. Yeah once some of Peter's friends and fellow students at Midtown see who Peter has hooked up, they are gonna flip. Flash will probably slip into a coma from seeing 'Puny Parker' with a woman like Wanda while Miles and Ned will be like 'Dude, she uh have a sister?'.
Daniel6: He doesn't know to what extent, but yeah he now sort of knows.
Chaos Sorcerer: Yeah, in the Ultimate line of comics when Peter showed Black Cat that he was still a teenager, she barfed on him. Yes the Defenders will show up in this story. Yes a few of the Avengers will begin to notice Wanda's obsession with Spider-man after a time, at first they'll chalk it up to her having a crush on the guy, which will sour once they find out her young Peter is and Wanda still crushing on him and the things that will follow.
Nayrsamoht12: I think Daredevil is the last guy to give Peter any advice on women given his own history.
Darkspyder: Some of Peter's tormentors might end up suffering odd unexplainable bouts of intense nightmares and hallucinations. Don't know why that would be though…
Retrogamer7800: No, she won't, mainly because he won't be going to any Homecoming Dance, Prom on the other hand, maybe.

Peter idly hummed to himself as he scoured through a dumpster for any items he could use to advance his Spider-man tech. It's been several weeks since his visit to the Avengers compound, base, headquarters thing and safe to say, Peter wanted to visit again.
He told Daredevil about it and other than a few nods and some humming, the defender of Hell's Kitchen didn't seem as impressed or as jealous as Peter had hoped he would be, like at all.
"I swear, what does it take to impress that guy?" Peter asked himself as he held up an old busted tablet to see if there was anything worth salvaging from it "Hmm, could probably use the LED's if they still work and maybe parts of the screen that aren't cracked…"
Peter shrugged as he placed the damaged tablet in a bag that he brought with him that was filled mostly with old computer or television parts before he hopped out of the dumpster and wiped a few bits of trash off his pants and shoes before he slung the bag over his shoulder and made his way to the mouth of the alley and on to the sidewalk. He wasn't far from his and Aunt May's apartment, opting to stick close today. His aunt was out with a few friends and wouldn't be back until dinner, or after dinner if she and her friends hang out longer and Ned and Miles were busy, leaving Peter to his own devices.
Sadly, said devices usually revolved around him dumpster diving for items he could reverse engineer or repurpose or swinging around New York as Spider-man, looking for people to beat up.
"Man, that sounds awful when I think about it that way" Peter said as he made his way down the street "I mean yeah their bad guys but still, makes me sound like a bully, going around and beating up people who are weaker than me because I don't like them or what their doing"
Maybe that was why the Daily Bugle didn't like him and called him a menace… nah Jameson was just jealous of him is all because he can rock red and blue almost as much as Captain America could!
"Now I just need to find a way to get a super cool physics defying shield and I'll be golden" Peter hummed to himself as he arrived at this apartment building and walked in towards the elevator.
Peter clicked on the button and hummed to himself as he waited for the car to arrive while he thought of a few things he could use from his recent dives in the dumpster for his Spider-man tech. He's toyed with the idea of having a sort of signal light, while his vision was far greater than any non-enhanced human on earth, it wasn't night vision. Plus, if he's ever hurt, for whatever reason, on an Avengers mission, he can use said light to get other people's attention.
"Hopefully the good kind" Peter said with a snicker "Rather not let the bad guy know where I am"
The elevator came to a stop an the doors opened to Peter's floor. He quickly stepped out and made his way to his door, passing his neighbor's seventeen year old daughter in the process. Peter gave the older girl a friendly smile as he passed her, a smile the red headed beauty did not return as she slipped on her glasses and made her way to the elevator, dressed like she was about to go out clubbing this evening.
"How does she even get into clubs?" Peter thought aloud as he watched her get on the elevator.
Peter's question was met with silence, causing him to shrug as he pulled out his key, unlocked his door and stepped inside the apartment, eager to get to work on his 'spider-light' before his Aunt came home early or before he went out for his nightly patrol of the city.
…
Several hours later Peter found himself swinging dozens of feet in the air through the bustiling city that was Manhattan. So far things have been quiet, the only real action he's encountered was a guy stealing a wheelchair and saving a kid's balloon from flying away. The latter which ended with the mother telling her child to stay away from Spider-man because he's dangerous and probably a pedophile or something.
'That... hurt more than it should' Peter thought a little sadly at being labled something that bad. Even the two cops who were moving to try and arrest him seemed to think that implication was a little too far.
Before Peter could use the thought to fuel a full on brood session, he's been slacking for a while now, he saw something flash on a nearby rooftop. Peter landed on the side of the building and and stared at the roof of the building in question with narrowed lenses.
"Hmm, odd flash on top of the Natural History Museum late at night... yep, that's pretty sketchy" Peter said to himself as he tried to see if the flash would happen again.
After several seconds, Peter leaped off the building and swung towards the museum's roof before he came to a landing near the rooftop access. The door was partially opened and gently swaying back and forth on a broken hinge. Peter slowly approached the door, being mindful of possible traps, it wouldnt be the first door that a theif left open for him to find only for it to be booby trapped.
'Please don't be Kraven again, please don't be Kraven again. The last thing I need is to be attacked by some crazy Russian guy that likes to dress in lepaord print tights and wears Mufasa's face on his nipples' Peter thougth with a mental shover as he pushed the door open, wincing slightly when it made a loud groaning sound.
When nothing happened, Peter silently climbed down the stair case, keeping on alert for the break inner.
'Wonder who it is this time' Peter thought as he leaped on to the ceiling and crawled the rest of the way down the stair case 'Could be Black Cat. Havent seen her in a while... actully I hope it isn't. Last thing I need is to be barfed on again'
That memory will forever kill any sex appeal that the Black Cat had in his eyes. Kinda hard to admire a girl's beauty when she emptied her stomach's contents all over your torso.
Peter was dragged out of his musings by a door left partially opened to the main floor of the meseum. Peter carrfully peeked through and just made out a purple cape and green amror turn a corner. The spider powered teen's lenses narrowed at this as he slowly followed after the individual.
'Mysterio?' Peter thought with confusion as he leaped on to the wall and began to crawl acorss it's surface after the now named man.
Mysterio wasn't one for breaking and entering, at least into a mueseum, he nomrally stuck to robbing facilities that housed expreimental technology for him to either reverse engineer or sell on the black market. Before Peter could ponder on what it must be that Mysterio was after, he lost sight of the man. Peter's eyes widened in surprise before they narrowed as he felt his spider-sense go off, causing him to leap off the wall as a small fireball struck it.
"Spider-man!" Mysterio's voice echoed in the dark hall, laced with anger.
"Fish bowl lad!" Peter replied with a yell of his own before he scratched his head "Wait, was it that or was it Fish Bowl man? Fish Bowl dude?"
"It's Mysterio!" the former special effects designer roared in anger.
"No, I'm pretty sure Mysterio is the name of some kinda of cereal, it even has that 'O' at the end of it, like cheerios" Peter said with a snicker "Mmm, I'm starting to crave some cereal now-"
"Silence!" Mysterio said as he suddenly appeared before Peter in a bright flash with smoke billowing around him as he held up both hands with small fires floating over them.
Peter blinked at the display before he hummed "I feel like you ripped that off from somewhere. The appearing in a flash with smoke and fire in your hands, not the dumb fifties looking helmet that those Martians with the big brains wore and liked to shoot birds"
"Die Spider-man!" Mysterio shouted as he threw several fire balls towards Peter who easily dodged them with several flips.
"Do I have to?" Peter whined as he landed in a crouch.
Mysterio roared in rage as he sent several other fireballs towards Peter. The web head glanced at the small time criminal as he created several holograms of the fire balls in his hands before he threw them, and the holographic images, towards Peter.
"You know I can tell only two of those are real, right?" Peter said as he let several of the holographic fireballs hit him before he dodged the actual ones and shot several web bullets in retaliation.
Mysterio growled in anger as he triggered a device on his belt that sent out a large cloud of smoke and blanket the hall in it. Peter paused in surprise as he tried to figure out where Mysterio went. Peter used his enhanced hearing to try and pick up Mysterio's footfalls, a little trick that Daredevil taught him should he ever lose sight of his enemy. After a few seconds, Peter heard the man running deeper into the museum, causing Peter to frown under his mask.
"Instead of heading for the exit, he's still going for whatever he came here for?" Peter said in surprise before he let out a low whistle "Man, it must be good if he's willing to stick around still instead of running"
Peter quickly ran after Mysterio, passing numerous cases with highly valuable artifacts and jewels on display. Peter noticed this and turned back towards Mysterio "Hey uh Mysterio, I don't want to tell you how to be a theif or anything, but you kinda just passed all the super valuable stuff!"
"Fool, I'm not here for mere trinkets!" Mysterio bellowed as he shot several more fireballs towards Peter.
"Oh... well what are you here for?" Peter asked, wondering if he'd actually tell Peter what he was here for.
"Fool, you think I'd ever tell you that?" Mysterio replied.
"Well you have the last three times when I asked" Peter pointed out as he kept an eye out for the fishbowl wearing man "At this point I half expect you to pull out a PowerPoint with detail steps on what you trying to do and how you'll go about doing it"
Peter received no response from that before he felt his spider-sense tingle and he ducked under several fireballs thrown at him. Peter turned towards the source of the fireballs and was greeted to the site of-
"Really?" Peter said with a deadpanned expression under his mask as he took in the illusion "Slender Man?"
Peter stared at the admittedly lifelike holographic image of the Slender Man as it stood there. The Queens born vigilante shook his head in disbelief as he walked through the image without a care in the world "Dude, what's next? The Creepy Pasta monster? You know, using iconic modern mythological monsters doesn't make you cool, it just shows your kinda struggling to connect to the modern audience and entice a genuine reaction from them. Hmm, maybe that's why your Special affects company failed and was bought out Beck. Well aside from making CGI that looks like it belongs in a thirties movie"
"Shut up!" Mysterio roared in rage.
Peter smirked under his mask 'Ah, there we go...'
Peter cleared his throat as he continued to scan the area "aww what's wrong Fish Bowl? Touch a nerve?"
Several fire balls soared towards Peter, he reacted by easily dodging them as he tired to zero in on the source. Times like this Peter wished he had inferred in his lenses, to pick up Mysterio's body heat, or even the heat from his pyrokinetic devices. Make trying to find him all the much easier when the man was using his holographic tech to blend in to the surrounding area.
'Plus, his robots aren't usually armed with pyrokinetic devices, make seeing if the Mysterio I nabbed was the real one or not' Peter thought as he noticed the slightest bit of distortion in the air by a display case before two fireballs shot off towards him.
'There he is!' Peter thought as he jumped out of the way and shot several web bullets towards the distortion in the air.
Mysterio shrieked as he stumbled out of the way of the web bullets, hitting the display case and breaking the glass with his semi armored bulk. Peter tensed as the glass shattered and he waited for the alarm to go off. After several seconds, Peter blinked as he gazed up at the ceiling "Isn't this the part where that alarm that sounds like a dubstep concert of those tiny bells goes off?"
"You incompetent idiot, did you really think I'd leave the alarm on before I entered this place?" Mysterio questioned as he climbed back to his feet and brushed some glass of his cape.
"Uh kinda, I mean given your fashion sense, I assumed that you regularly make dumb decisions" Peter said with a shrug as he pointed towards the man's helmet "I mean, just look at the helmet. Also, purple and green, that's so tacky, and don't even get me started on the cape. I mean, who wears a cape anymore?"
Mysterio growled at Peter as he took a step forward before his foot brushed against something on the ground, causing him to look down and see a small vase had fallen out of the display and shattered on the ground. In the center of the broken shards was a small chunk of rock with faint glowing runes on it.
"Ah, there you are" Mysterio said darkly as he reached down and picked up the small fragment.
Peter blinked at it as he felt his spider-sense beginning to tingle ever so slightly "Uh Beck, what uh, what do you got there?"
"Your end" he said as he held up the fragment and green energy began to run through his body. The man began to laugh as his helmet glowed brightly before it died down, leaving two small glowing orbs in the polarized helmet, where Peter figured Beck's eyes were.
"Umm..." Peter sounded as he watched Mysterio conjure up a large snake, a Anaconda to be precise.
Mysterio laughed even more "The power, it's unlike anything I've ever felt before"
"And you decided to use that power to summon a giant snake?" Peter said with a laugh even though on the inside he was nervous, the snake was setting his spider-sense off more than any of Mysterio's previous illusions 'Did the stone thing he grabbed do something to them? Maybe make them hard light constructs?'
"Prepare to die Spider-man!" Mysterio shouted as he pointed towards Peter with one hand while he cradled the tablet in the other.
The snake hissed loudly as it suddenly lunged at Peter with it's mouth wide open. Peter shouted in surprise as he backed away from the snake's jaws and swiped at the snake's head. What Peter didn't expect was for his hand to actually hit the snake, causing it to hiss pin pain as it backed away from Peter. The web slinging hero blinked in shock as he turned to Mysterio.
"Wait, that thing's real?!"
Mysterio chuckled at Peter's dumbfounded outburst "Of course it's real!"
Peter was about to ask how that was even possible when the snake's head was suddenly in front of Peter's face and snapped at him with a loud hiss as it tired to coil itself around him. Peter yelped in surprise as he threw his hands out and grabbed the snake before it could start to constrict him and pushed back. The snake hissed in anger as it lunged at Peter with it's mouth wide open, forcing him to let go of the snake and grab the snake's mouth with both hands and hold the large reptile back. Peter gritted his teeth as he struggled to hold the large serpent's jaws back as it pushed him back before it ripped it's mouth away and suddenly swiped him away with it's tail, sending the wall crawler flying into a column.
Peter let out a pained groan as he slid down the cracked marble and to the floor "Ow..."
The red and blue clad teen shook his head to try and regain his bearings before he noticed the large snake slithering towards him with a low hiss. Peter yelped as he shot several web bullets at the snake to try and dissuade it from eating him "No, no, no, no, I've seen the movies to know what'll happen if he gets me!"
The snake hissed as it made to bite Peter again before it suddenly fell into a large hole that suddenly formed beneath it's body. Peter blinked in surprise as the serpent fell down into what looked like a jungle river before the portal closed, leaving a dumbstruck Peter and Mysterio standing there.
"Uhh, was that you or me?" Peter said as he glanced at Mysterio.
"How...?" the man said before a new voice spoke up.
"That was my doing"
Both turned to see a hovering man a few meters way with a flowing red cape, some sort of wizard's garb and a goatee that rivaled the likes of Tony Stark.
"Who are you?!" Beck demanded.
"The Sorcerer Supreme" he said as red and orange energy formed around his hands before he sent it towards Beck in a wave.
Mysterio yelped in surprise as he held the fragment and it created a small shield that easily dissipated the magical attack.
Peter watched the display with wide unblinking eyes before he began to back away "Uh, it looks like this is my cue to tap out. I'll just be over here if anyone needs me, which I'm kinda hoping you don't because I left my wand back at Hogwarts and my broom's in the shop getting a tune up-"
"Silence!" beck yelled as he sent a wall of fire towards Peter.
"Mommy..." Peter said with wide eyes as he made to swing away before his feet were suddenly encased by the floor "Oh come on!"
Mysterio grinned darkly as he took out a small ball and threw it on the ground, creating a bright flash and smoke and suddenly he was gone.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap!" Peter said as the wall of fire neared him and he closed his eyes in preparation for the burning fate that awaited him.
After several seconds of not burning to death, Peter cracked an eye open and saw the fire had stopped, only mere inches from his form. Peter blinked at the frozen fire as he held a hand out to it before the floating man spoke.
"It'll still burn you"
"Whoa…" Peter said as he looked back at the levitating man before returning his gaze to frozen fire "Dude, that was awesome! I mean not the nearly getting incinerated, but everything else was cool!"
"Thanks" the man said with a nod as he settled on to the ground and approached the container that Mysterio had broken open and frowned at what he saw "That's not good"
"What's not good?" Peter asked as he hopped over from his spot and approached the man "Was that like supposed to be some sort of priceless antique or whatever?"
"It was a container to a powerful magical artifact, or a fragment of it, that could very well bring about the end of the world if misused" the man said as he stood up "Which he has and will continue to do so from what I've seen"
Peter's eyes and lenses widened at that "Oh… like how bad of an end of the world are we talking? Like apes take over while mankind regresses into mute idiots? Rise of homicidal time traveling machines, or legions upon legions of flesh eating zombies? Or is it more of super destructive natural disasters like mega tornados filled with flying sharks and hurricanes?"
"Demons from a dark and malevolent realm that are bent on the death and destruction of every single living being on this planet and the universe at large if said universe doesn't collapse in on itself" the man stated in a grim tone.
"Oh…" Peter sounded as he rubbed the back of his head "So, like the end, end times…"
"More or less" the man said with a small nod as he turned on his heel and created a medium sized portal for him to travel though.
"Uh, where ya going... uh, who are you again?" Peter asked as he watched the man take several steps towards the spiraling vortex of energy.
"Doctor Strange, and I'm going to my Sanctorum and find a way to track down the fragment that was stolen and see to it the locations of the other fragments are well protected from this man" the man revealed as he prepared to set through the portal.
"Need any help?" Peter asked as he rubbed his hands "I mean I am an Avenger now and well preventing the end of the world is kinda our thing… yeah…"
Doctor Strange paused and looked at Peter with a critical eye for a moment before he sighed "Might as well. I believe I'm going to need all the help I can get to prevent what is to come"
Peter replied with a nod as he followed the sorcerer into the portal all the while thinking one thing.
'I'm gonna team up with a super powerful looking wizard with an epic cape and goatee to save the world, WHOOOOOOO! This beats World of Warcraft on every level!' Peter thought with glee.
…
And done.
