Guest - Don't worry, Angel is sorta like an extra name I just wanted to introduce for Anjelica, not a replacement for Super-Arachnid, that'd be her main name but she's gonna need something shorter for when they're in danger. It's like when people call Barry the "Flash" and others call him the "Scarlet Speedster". Or calling Peter "Spider-Man" and the "Web-Slinger". Or like how Peter calls Kara "Skirt" and Anjelica "Specks" (because of her glasses, which she loves to be called)

5 YEARS BEFORE STEPPENWOLF, 4 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF GWEN STACY, 2 MONTHS AFTER DICK'S DEATH:

Peter was currently smiling and watching as Zatanna and his Aunt May were talking and laughing in the kitchen of F.E.A.S.T. They'd been dating for two months, and Peter's never been happier than he had in years.

She's sweet, sarcastic, doesn't hold it against him when he forgets their plans, even when he tries his best to remember them. Mostly to do with the fact that he has enemies to fight, but she just believes he gets caught up at Otto's workshop trying to save the world.

I mean, she's half right.

May then walked over towards Peter with a grin and joy in her eyes. "I'm so glad you invited her to help out."

"Oh, no, she requested to come here." Peter corrected his aunt. "She would've come sooner, but she didn't want it to look like some publicity stunt."

"So how'd you manage it?" May asked him.

"She said she found a way to come and go without anyone noticing." Peter shrugged, no idea how she got in himself, but he just turned around and she was standing in the doorway of the building.

He looked over to where Zatanna was now and she was now entertaining a few of the younger kids who were here with their parents. He loves Zatanna, he's not afraid to admit it. This is the first time since High School that he's actually able to admit liking someone since Gwen died.

But there was still the problem of not being honest with her. Telling her he's Spider-Man is the biggest problem he has. He wants to tell her, but he doesn't know how she'll take it. He's afraid of losing her the same way he lost Mary Jane, who left him because she discovered his secret, which is how he wound up dating Gwen.

"So why does it feel like you're not going all the way with her?" May asked Peter, feeling like he's still hiding his secret from her. Which is something she discovered for herself years ago.

"Because I'm keeping something from her, May and if I tell her, it might screw everything up." Peter answered with a sigh. "And I really like her, May."

"Peter, if you're keeping something from her, it's best to be honest and see if she can live with that. If she can't, then she isn't meant for you." May offered him some advice before walking away back to her job.

Peter looked over to Zatanna who looked over to Peter and offered a wave he sent back and took May's advice to heart and saw it's time she knew the truth. If he wants their relationship to work, the time has come to tell her about his night job.

Later on, the two of them were making their way back to her place, which was ironically the penthouse where Norman Osborn once lived...which gives Peter a few uncomfortable flashbacks to when he used to come here with Harry and MJ when they were kids.

"So, are you gonna spend the night, or do you have to go out again?" Zatanna asked as she placed her bag and hat down on the table and then took her heels off. "I could order us some dinner, unless you want to make something. Your cooking's a lot better than mine."

"Actually...I think there's something I need to tell you. No, there is something I need to tell you." Peter said, causing Zatanna to stop and turn to face him, curious what he has to say.

Peter sighed as he looked down at his sleeve, revealing a small portion of his suit under his shirt. He knows when he does this, there is no turning back. And he's okay with that...he hopes he doesn't screw anything up.

"It's easier to show you." Peter sighed as he reached up to his shit and opened the buttons to reveal the Spider-Man suit underneath it, shocking Zatanna as she walked over and caressed his chest with her hand and was shocked.

Zatanna looked towards Peter's eyes and sees this wasn't an easy decision for him, meaning that this isn't a joke, and this is real. She then chuckled as she realized that she wasn't the only person in this relationship keeping secrets.

"Well...if this is your secret, I guess I should share my own." Zatanna said, shocking Peter as he wasn't expecting her to take it this well, and reveal she has her own secret. "There is something that I never really told you about my shows." She backed up a little and thought of how to explain this easily and decided to take a page from Disney. Closing her eyes, Z covered her hands over one another and started to rub them together. "Wons ot nigeb." She then started to form a glowing blue orb in her hands and tossed it into the air, causing it to explode and the entire apartment began to get colder as it started to snow.

Peter looked around and put his hand out to then feel the cold and saw the snow was real. "Oh my god..." He then looked over towards Z again and saw her shy smile on her face. "You're actually magic."

"It's something I learned I was born with after I started to do my stage shows." Z explained as she walked over and got rid of the snow. "Raepassid wons." She then looked at Peter's suit again and shrugged it off like it was no big deal to her, which Peter was glad to see. "Looks like we were both hiding secrets from one another."

Peter laughed and saw that's true, and also means he doesn't need to hide anything from her anymore, which is a big relief off his shoulders. "Yeah, I guess we did."

Zatanna smiled and leaned in and pecked his lips, which Peter immediately did back. "No more secrets between us, okay?"

"Well, I've got no more to share." Peter shrugged.

"Hey, your webs...how long until they dissolve?" Zatanna asked with a grin.

"Uh...an hour. Why?" Peter asked before he started to put the pieces together. "Oh."

Zatanna smiled as he saw what she was thinking and the two started making out right in the middle of the room. "Sehtolc ruo evomer."

The two of them were now nude and quickly made their way to the bedroom.
