AN: Long time no see Spider-Babies! So, we're going to be getting this fic done. Meaning it's time for a time jump. Yup. I'm sorry guys and gals. I really wanted to make my plan work but with real life being so demanding right now and with other things going on, we're going to time jump and get on with the story. That and I don't want y'all to get bored and drag this out longer than it needs to be. Moving on, I just had surgery last Friday on the 21st (my joint implants somehow shifted and broke two of them) and I'm now in recovery. During my recovery, we are going to get this bad boy finished. Also, yes, I took down AAITCR. I'm not going to be able to finish it and I want to repurpose it as I wasn't really happy with it. Anyway, let's get moving!

Mistakes are mine and flames are gross.

Enjoy Spider-Babies!

First Day Blues

Peter was excited and a little nervous. It was the first day of high school! His best friend Ned was going to the same school and had shared pretty much the same schedule which was awesome. Peter finished getting ready, grabbed his supplies and shoved them in his backpack, and looked at himself in the mirror on the wall one last time. He took a deep breath in and exhaled.

"You're going to be great Peter. High school is nothing! You're going to be great!" Peter chanted.

"Yes, you are," A voice behind him chuckled.

Peter yelped in surprised and jumped around to see his Papa standing there. He calmed his racing heart and puffed out his cheeks like an adorable hamster.

"Papa!" Peter huffed. "Don't do that!"

"What? See what's taking my son so long when I've called him to breakfast five times?" Strange asked amused.

"Sorry. First day jitters," Peter said.

"You'll be just fine. Now come on, breakfast is ready," Strange assured steering his son out of his room and down to the kitchen.

Father and son sat down at the breakfast bar and enjoyed a nice meal of wheat cakes, bacon, and fresh homemade yogurt. When breakfast was finished and dishes were washed and put away, Strange walked his son to school.

"Have a good day little one and remember you'll be just fine," Strange said fussing over Peter by straightening his clothes and hair.

"I will Papa. Save some lives and remember your still a doctor, shaky hands or not," Peter said with a bright smile.

Strange smiled back. Only his son could make him feel better about his hands not being what they use to be, Hell, the scars didn't scare him nor bother him and the shaking when he was little was soothing to him, it was still true to this day. He hugged Peter one last time and headed off to the hospital.

Peter hugged his Papa one last time and headed into the school where Ned was waiting for him.

"Peter!" Ned called to him waving like the adorable dork he is.

"Ned!" Peter called back rushing up to him.

The two hugged and walked to their lockers which close to each other, talking about their adventures.

"Dude, it's so cool the Avengers are your aunts and uncles. Wish I could've hung with you and meet them," Ned said.

"You will someday. You know how they are and Papa is, besides you got to leave the country! Papa says I can't even go to the Candian side of Niagra Falls until I'm sixteen with a drivers license!" Peter said with a laugh.

"Drivers license? Don't mean passport?" Ned asked.

"I already have one. Papa got me one when I was a baby, just in case we needed to leave the country," Peter said.

"Oh. I still don't see why you need a license," Ned said.

"Papa is Papa and has his reasons," Peter shrugged.

"I guess," Ned said.

The bell rang and the two booked it to their first class.

The first was pretty boring as most first days are of course Flash made their lives miserable but it wasn't anything they couldn't handle. The first month flew by and the next thing Peter and Ned knew it was already the end of September. Halloween was right around the corner. Peter and Ned were talking about their Halloween plans when their biology teacher walked in with a stack of papers in her arms.

"Alright folks. Listen up. We're going on a field trip to OSCORP next Friday so please have your parents or guardians sign your permission slip and Flash?" The teacher asked the bully.

"Yes, ma'am?" Flash asked innocently.

The teacher leveled a glare at the bully making him slouch in his seat, she knew all about him and his bullying ways. She had no patience or tolerance for him. "Any misbehavior and you'll have yourself a one-way ticket home with two weeks detention, got me?"

"Yes, ma'am," Flash muttered.

"Excuse me, eyes on me," she said. "Are we clear?"

"Yes, ma'am," He said with his eyes on her.

"Good. Now open your textbooks to page ninety-five," She said turning to the dry erase board and began her lesson.

The bell rang signaling the end of the day and each student picked up a permission slip on their way out.

"Peter, I want to talk to you for a moment," The teacher said.

"Y yes, Miss Rameriez?" Peter stammered.

"Relax sweetie, you're not in any trouble. I noticed you're quite gifted in science," she said. "I wanted to give you this to look over."

She handed Peter a piece of paper.

"The AP course?" Peter asked.

She nodded. "I think you'll fit right in and be more challenged. Plus I think Mr. Issac will like you," she said.

Peter stood there stunned not sure what to say.

"You don't have to decide right now but you will have to make a decision. I can give you until field trip day," Miss Rameriez said. "This you can think it over and talk it out, maybe make a list of the pros and cons."

Peter nodded and thanked his teacher. He headed to his locker where Ned was waiting for him. The two walked home together since Ned's was in the general direction of the sanctum.

"The AP course? Dude, you should totally do it!" Ned exclaimed happily.

"But Ned, I would leave you with Flash," Peter said.

"I'll be okay. Besides, you're like crazy smart when it comes to science. We've only been in school for a month and you're already bored, so dude you need to do this. I don't want to be bored. Bored Peter is no fun," Ned said.

"I'll think about it," Peter said.

"You better say yes. Later man!" Ned said.

"Bye," Peter said waving as Ned walked down his street.

Peter made it home and walked inside. He headed up the stairs to the living room.

"Papa? You home?" Peter called out.

"Hello little one," Strange said walking out of a portal.

"Where-?" Peter started.

"The Nile River. How was school?" Strange asked.

Peter told him about the field trip OSCORP and handed his Papa the permission slip. Strange read it over and signed it.

"You know your Uncle Anthony is going to hate that you're going on a field trip to OSCORP," Strange said.

"I know. I'm not planning on telling him, at least until it's over," Peter said.

Strange chuckled. He looked at Peter and sensed something was bothering his son.

"Alright, out with it," Strange said.

"With what?" Peter asked innocently.

Strange gave him a look and Peter spilled his guts. Strange smiled and told Peter he'd proud of him no matter what he decided but Ned did have a point. Peter would be too bored in the normal class. Peter nodded and again, said he'd think about it. He headed to the kitchen, grabbed a snack, and headed to his room.

He chucked his backpack to its corner along with his shoes then flopped on the couch. He takes a bite out of his apple and smiled when The Cloak of Levitation floated in. Peter let it cuddle him and he spoke to it.

Soon next Friday was here. Peter tried to convince his Papa to let him stay home as he had a bad feeling that just couldn't shake but he was made to go. His Papa told him that if he felt any worse he could contact his aunts and uncles as he needed to go on a mission. His Uncle Tony gave him a watch that monitored his vitals and kept track of his location. His hoped his uncle wouldn't look at his location until tomorrow but he something told him that wasn't going to happen. His uncle gave this to him after a disaster took place and it freaked out his entire family. Now the watch only connected to his uncle at the moment as his Papa didn't like to carry his cell phone on missions.

"Ready dude?" Ned asked.

"As I'll ever be," Peter muttered.

The two joined their classmates at the door.

Our baby is about to get bitten and you bet his Papa isn't going to be happy.

Until Next Chapter!
