The Brotherhood walked down the halls in Bayville High. The day before, Pietro introduced them to his friends he made at Midtown High. They talked about them.

"Those Queen kids are awesome, yo!" said Todd.

"I liked that Kenny Kong guy," said Fred.

"That girl Gwen sure nows how ta have a good time!" said Tabitha. "And she has great fashion sence!"

"They're not bad for non-mutants," said Lance.

"Alvers!"

The Brotherhood groaned.

Scott and the rest of the X-Men came their way.

"What do you want, Summer?"

"Explain this!"

Scott held up a Globe newspaper with a photo of Spidey on it.

"Hey, it the paper Tro works at," said Todd. "And there's a pic of that Spider-Man guy Peter told us about."

"Picture taken by Pietro Maximoff," read Lance. "Nice photo, don't ya think?"

"What's Pietro's game?" demanded Scott.

"You losers always think we're planing something."

"Just admit it before we figure it out and stop you!"

"Okay! Pietro got a JOB! He's WORKING! 'Cause he doesn't have some professor giving him everything, spoiled brat!"

Scott pushed Lance against the lockers. Fred placed his hand on Scott's shoulder and squeezed it tight.

"Why you-!" the big guy began.

"Everyone stop it!" ordered Jean. "There's no need to fight!"

"Always have to keep the peace, don't you, Jean?" said Tabitha, rolling her eyes.

"And what was with that fake picture of Maximoff getting a kiss from Katy Perry?" asked Evan.

"That was real!" yelled Lance. "He saved her, so she gave him a peck on the cheek! I saw it myself!"

"Yesh, how can you go see Katy Perry without me?" demanded Kitty, mad.

Lance gulped. "I wanted you to come, Kitty, but Tro was the one you got the tickets from a friend and he only had two."

"Yo, let's get out of here," suggested Todd. "We don't deserve to be pestered by the X-Dorks."

The Brotherhood walked away.

Pietro was sitting on the roof of a building. It was dark out now. He was enjoying the night air and looking down below.

Peter in his Spidey uniform swung over and sat next to him.

"Hungry?" he asked. "I just saved the pizza place and got a free Pizza."

He opened the box to reveal a pepperoni and sausage pizza inside.

Pietro took a slice and bit into it.

"Like it?" asked Spidey.

The speed demon nodded.

Peter took off his mask and looked at his speedy friend.

"What's up?"

"Hm?"

"You're quite. The Pietro I know always talks. What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. It's just, my housemates are getting harassed because of me, and I'm starting to think I should just quit my jobs here and go back to my old high school."

"But you said you and them need the money."

"Yeah, but-"

"I don't they'd want you to quit because of harassment. If you want to go back to school with them, go ahead, but but don't think it's because you have to. You friends can take care of themselves. It's good that you're there for them, but you can't always be there."

Pietro thought about it. Peter had a point.

"I'll stay a little long. . . . Hey, Pete."

"Yeah?"

"Can you take me web-swinging?"

"Uh-"

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

"Alright."

"Yes!"

Peter stood up and put his mask back on.

"Hang on tight."

Pietro wrapped his arm around Peter.

Spidey jumped and shot a web on another building and swung.

"Woo-hoo!" Pietro cried out, excited.
