Peter groaned in agony as he limped towards his and May's home after his first fight with this new guy who named himself Shocker.

His suit was torn, his body was in agonizing pain, and he just wanted to get home and rest, let his healing factor heal him. He made his way up the side of the house and noticed that May was in the kitchen cleaning, seeing he had a chance to make it inside undetected.

Sneaking to the second floor, he slipped his window open and pulled his mask off as he crawled onto the ceiling when he suddenly senses something and dropped from the ceiling to look around before seeing Ronnie was standing next to his bed with a look of shock and horror on his face.

Ronnie was holding a few books and quickly dropped them all at the sight, causing the room to sound like thunder off Peter's wooden floor.

"What was that?" May called from downstairs.

"Nothing!" Peter cried down. "Just us." He then turned back to Ronnie who still had a look of shock on his face.

"You're...you're Spider-Man?!" Ronnie asks in shock.

"No." Peter cried as he took off the shirt of the suit and tossed it. "No, I'm not. This is just a costume."

"You were just on the ceiling, dude!" Ronnie stated as he gestured to the said ceiling.

"No, I wasn't. Dude, what are you even doing here?" Peter asks as he reached down and yanked off his destroyed boots.

"May let me in." Ronnie gestured to the door. "We have a project to work on, remember?"

"You can't just-" Peter was saying when he sensed May was coming and quickly grabbed another shirt and tossed it on as May came up and opened the door.

"Well, I hope you guys are okay with Thai, because dinner has become a disaster." May stated with a laugh. "Everything good up here?"

"Yeah, Ronnie just dropped some books." Peter gestured to his friend, who was still seriously confused. "But Thai. Sounds good."

"Great." May said and left them while looking at Peter's torn pants.

"I slipped and fell." Peter quickly lied.

"Okay..." May guesses as she leaves them and closes the door.

"Wait, she doesn't know?" Ronnie asks Peter.

"Nobody knows, dude. Okay? Nobody on the face of the earth knows who I am..." Peter stated before realizing that's a lie. "...except Batman. But that's because he helped me make that suit." He stated and started thinking some more. "And possibly that John Constantine dude, but that was because everyone turned into werewolves and he helped me. Or I helped him."

"The Batman made you that?" Ronnie asks as he looked at the suit. "Wait, Batman's real!?"

"Listen, Ronnie, you need to keep this a secret." Peter tells Ronnie as he tried to hold his ground.

"A secret?" Ronnie asks. "From May?"

"Well, you know what she's like, man. If she finds out I go out there where people are trying to kill me every night, she's not gonna let me do this anymore." Peter explains to him. "I can't do that to her right now. After everything that's happened to her I...I can't add anything more than she already had on her mind. Please..."

Ronnie sighed and sat down on Peter's bed, trying to keep his mind straight. He ran his hands through his face in order to figure out what to say. "Okay...I promise."

"Thanks, man." Peter sighed as he leaned against the wall.

"Hey, can I try the suit on?" Ronnie asks Peter, causing him to smack his head against the said wall, leaving a small dent.
