The man who opened the door was The Flying Vulture guy, but he wasn't in the suit and wings. Peter knew this because part of the Vulture's helmet came off and the hole was big enough for Peter to make out a face.

"You must be Peter?" The old man asked Peter.

Peter stood there before saying, "Y-Yeah."

"I'm Liz's dad, Adrian Toomes. Put it there." He introduced himself and pulled out his hand to shake it.

Peter followed suit and shook Adrain's hand.

"Hell of a grip," Liz's dad commented before turning his attention to Ben. "I don't think Liz mentioned a threesome."

Ben chuckled at his joke. "Name's Ben Reilly and-"

"He's-s a friend of mine and he just walked me to your d-doors for moral support. My Aunt will be d-driving him to the dance." Peter lied.

Ben was about to interject, but Peter gave him a look that told him just do it, I'll explain later. Ben shrugged in confusion and told Liz's dad, "Have a good night, sir."

"You too, son," Adrian told Ben and went back to Peter. "Don't just stand there, come on in."

Peter followed him into his house.


Back in the car, May was staring, while Ben was confused that Peter and Liz's dad was going inside and muttered, "Maybe he's dumping her at the dance?" Ben suggested.

"That's him," May whispered.

"Who?" Ben asked, not hearing what he said.

"The Vulture's crew is people who were rebuilding the damages from The Battle of New York. He was their boss at that time."

Ben was somewhat surprised, but cautiously asked, "You don't think he's The Birdman, do you?"

"It would explain why Vulture's crew are the same people from that construction site."

Ben felt like it made sense and told her, "Peter told us to meet him at the dance."

May nodded and drove away from the house.


Back with Peter, he was in a well-furnished house.

A woman came in. The two young men guessed that she was Liz's mother and said, "Hi Peter, you look very handsome."

"Thank you," Peter whispered.

She walked into the kitchen where Toomes was doing dishes.

"You got his name right?" The woman asked.

Adrian pondered for a second before guessing, "Freddie?"

"Peter!" The Woman reminded him.

"Peter, right." Adrian mentally told himself.

"I'll go get Liz." The woman told them as she left.

Peter nodded and was staring at Toomes. He noticed and asked, "You alright? You look pale."

Peter wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Liz's father offered him.

"I-I'm not old enough to drink." Peter stuttered.

"That's the right answer," He told Peter before his attention turned to the doorway. "Wow,"

Peter turned his head to see Liz Allen in a red dress and heels.

"Wow, wow, wow you look beautiful." Liz's dad commented in amazement.

"Please, don't embarrass me, Dad." Liz pleaded.

"Doesn't she, Pete?" He asked.

"Yeah, you look really pretty," Peter told Liz.

"Once again, it's the right answer," Adrian commented, already liking Peter.

She noticed a flower in Peter's hand. "Is that a corsage?"

Peter was still looking at Liz's dad before Peter woke up.

"Oh, yeah," Peter said as he took it out of the package and gave it to Liz. "This is for you."

Liz smiled and said, "Thanks."

"Hey, I'm your chauffeur, so let's get this show on the road." Liz's dad said.

They then all took some photos, where Peter was trying his best to smile to not give himself away and after that, they all went outside to his car.


During the drive, Liz was looking on her phone and fixing her hair while Peter was frantically texting May. The text read, THE GUY WITH THE WINGS IS LIZ'S DAD!

It didn't take all that long for May to respond as he read the text. The text read, Okay, just stay cool and we'll meet you there!

"So, what are you going to do?" Adrian asked Peter, to his confusion.

"When you get out of school, what are you gonna do?"

"Oh, I'm still working on that."

Liz leaned closer to her dad's seat and told him, "He has an internship with Tony Stark, so I don't think he should worry."

"Stark huh?" Toomes asked, hinting at the hatred in his voice.

"Oh, uh, I don't do t-that anymore," Peter told the group.

"Seriously, why?" Liz asks Peter, surprised.

"It got a little boring after a while."

"Boring? You got to hang out with Spider-Man." Liz argued.

That captivated the father's interest. "Spider-Man, huh? What's he like?"

Peter stuttered. "H-He's n-nice. Solid guy."

For some reason, he grew even more curious in Peter as his next question came. "I've seen you around, right? I mean, somewhere, we've-Have we ever, because even the voice is uh,"

"I don't think we have met before sir. Sorry." Peter apologized.

"Hey, it's not a problem," Adrian assured him and quickly changed the conversation. "So, that whole Stark thing, how come that didn't work out?"

"Dad,"

"No, no, it's okay," Peter told Liz to keep the peace. "I left because Stark wasn't the greatest person t-to be an r-role model."

"I thought it was because you were away for, what nine months?" Liz asked him.

"You were gone?" Toomes asked Peter, curious.

They all stopped at a red light.

"Yeah, for a long time and it was six months," Peter told the group.

The driver took a moment to think in his head. He was gone for six months and during those six months, Spider-Man had been more active in Queens.

Also, Peter's voice was familiar and he knew why; Peter Parker was Spider-Man…

"Dad, the light is green," Liz told her father.

After being told that, he snapped out of his thoughts and continued to drive.

After many minutes of driving, the car arrived at the Homecoming. The two young love birds were prepared to exit the vehicle, when Adrian said, "Liz, you go on ahead. I'm gonna give Peter the 'Dad Talk'."

Liz rolled her eyes and assured Peter not to feel intimidated by him. She kissed his cheek and told him to have a safe flight and left the car, leaving him alone with Peter Parker.

He waited for Liz to be in the building. Peter's senses were going off like crazy. The father turned to Peter, with a gun in his hand, Peter didn't see it.

"Does she know?" He firmly asked Peter.

Peter tried to hide it and asked, "Know what?"

"So she doesn't. Good, close to the vest," He was relieved, but Peter was downright scared that The Vulture knew his secret. "I admire that. I got a few secrets of my own. All the reasons I didn't want my daughter to date,"

"Peter, I have a complicated industry to run, but you are getting in the way of that and right now, nothing would stop me from firing a bullet in your head," He stopped himself. "But, it would take forever to get the blood off the windows and the seat you're sitting on, so I'm gonna give you one chance."

"A chance for what?" Peter asked.

"To walk through those doors, forget that any of this happened and if you or your pals down at the NWPD ever…EVER interfere with my business again, I'll kill you and everybody you love!" He threatened him menacingly.

"...Are you going to kill people just to get your way?" Peter asked him.

"If that's what it takes to protect my family, then yes, Pete, I will."

Peter looked down at his seat as he told Peter, "Hey, I just saved your life. Now, what do you say?"

Peter's head came back to look at the father when he told him, "Thank you."

He smiled as he nodded and told him, "You're welcome," He then gestured towards the school. "Now, you go in there and show my daughter a good time. Just not too good."

Peter silently nodded as he exited out of the car, which drove off to who knows where.

A car then honked its horn at Peter and when he turned his head, he saw May and Ben in the car.

Ben got out of the car, running to him. He was directing both of them inside the building.

"Are you sure it's him?" May asked him.

"I'm sure, his helmet broke during our fight!"

"Does he know you know?" May asked him.

"Worse, he knows that I'm you-know-who!" Peter harshly whispered.

"Well, what are you gonna do?" Ben asked Peter, a little worried.

"I-I-I-I d-don't-t-t-t-t k-k-k-k-know!" Peter stuttered, feeling like he was having a heart attack.

May looked startled and she came to calm him down. Ben saw what was happening to Peter, but he saw Liz through the windows, coming back to, undoubtedly, look for Peter. Ben was thinking fast until he had a crazy idea. He punched him in the stomach…hard. Peter fell on the concrete, leaving him and May shocked yet confused.

"What the Fu-" May was cut off.

Liz then came out the doors, looking for Peter.

"Peter, where did you-Oh my god, are you okay?!" Liz ran over to him, startled to hear his heavy breathing and paleness.

"He had a panic attack and he just fell!" Ben lied to him.

Peter and May looked at each other and back at Ben, understandably confused. Ben and May quickly helped Peter off the ground and into May's car.

Ben whispered to May and Peter. "Go home and track down the featherly psycho!"

May thought up a lie to tell Liz and told her, "I'm going to take him to the Hospital. I'm really sorry."

"You don't have anything to be sorry about. He did look pale when my dad took us here," Liz assured May. "Just, please make sure he's okay."

May felt bad for lying to her because it looks like they could've had something. But, she nodded and told both of them not to worry as she drove away from the dance.

"Do you think he'll be okay?"

"Oh, he'll be fine. He always gets nervous," Ben then grinned as he asked her, "How about I make you feel better?"

"How?" Liz asked Ben.

"It looks like neither of our dates is going to be here tonight and it would be a waste to come here if neither of us got to dance."

He held out his hand and continued, "So, Elizabeth Toomes, may I take you inside so we can share the dance floor?"

She shyly turned away from Ben, hiding a very noticeable blush on her cheek, but she took his hand, nonetheless.


"Yui, I need you to look up Adrian Toomes!" Peter told Yui as he and May came into the house

"Already did when May told me he's The Vulture."

"He was on my suspect list when I hacked into bank accounts, still can't believe I was right," May commented.

"He was a construction worker, along with his pals from the Ferry, but they were fired when Damage Control came into the picture. He also has a storage building a few streets down from where you are. I'm texting you the address."

Peter nodded and quickly went into his room and changed into his Spider-Man suit. He got on his web-shooters before he could jump out the window, his arm was grabbed by May, who told him, "Please be careful, Peter. I don't know what I could do if-"

"Hey," Peter stopped her and kissed her forehead. "I'll come back."

"But, what if you don't?" May asked, scared for his safety.

"I don't, then you can ground me," Peter replied, earning a sad smile from May.

She let go of his arm and watched his nephew jump out the window and out onto the streets.

But, as he was making his way to the warehouse after swinging away from the house, he was hit by the bald assailant, who was called The Shocker, and it sent Spider-Man flying in an alleyway and into an opened dumpster.

Spidey got out of the dumpster and removed a banana peel from the top of his head.

"Oh, you're in for it now, Shocker!" The web-slinger exclaimed.

He webbed himself onto a building wall, readying himself for a fight, and finally landed on the ground, facing Shocker.

Shocker blasted his gauntlet at Spidey, sending him onto the pavement.

"You know, I wasn't sure about wearing this thing, but now as I'm kicking you're backside with this," He stared impressed at the metal device. "Damn!"

He opened fire at him once again and hit Spider-Man, once again.

'I can't waste any more time with this guy, gotta take him out somehow.' Spider-Man mentally told himself.

He then remembered the webs Ben made to handle Shocker, so he fired the webs at his gauntlet, and to his amazement, it worked.

He screamed with joy as he leaped on Shocker, knocking him into the dumpster. He webbed Shocker up and left him there for Yui to pick up later.

But, as he jumped on top of a rooftop to make his way to the warehouse, a searchlight shined brightly on him. He looked up to see a Government Helicopter, landing on the rooftop. A dozen FBI agents came out and pointed their guns at him with General Ross coming out last.

"The so-called Amazing Spider-Man," Ross stated. "You're under arrest for crimes against The Sokovia Accords."

"So, raise your hands where we can see them!" Another agent ordered.

The agents were circling him where he stood as Spider-Man just stood there, not trying to push his luck.

"I said hands up, Spider-Freak!" The agent repeated.

Spider-Man was walking towards a few agents, asking, "Look, guys, can we just-"

Ross fired a shot from his pistol at the ground and ordered, "You were given orders to stand down! I would listen if I were you, son."

Spider-Man sighed but did just that. But, as he did put his arms in the air, he fired multiple webs at the agents and was beginning to attack them.

"So, Stark is so desperate to catch me, he'll call you guys to do his dirty work?" Spider-Man commented.

"Speak of the Devil," Came a voice from the sky. It was Iron Man and he landed on the ground. "...And he will appear."

"Look, I don't have time for this. I got somewhere I need to be." Spidey told him.

Iron man is aiming his repulsors at the kid, but after a moment, he removed his battle armor, stepped out of it, and was in a black suit.

"The hell are you doing, Stark?" Ross demanded an explanation.

Tony then looked at Spider-Man and waved him off.

"I'll deal with these guys, you do whatever you gotta do." He told Peter, to his shock.

He stood there for a moment and after Tony told him to, once again, leave the building, he swung off to the warehouse.


Adrian Toomes was inside the warehouse, alone. He was preparing something for another robbery when a web was fired at his hand.

"Hey!" Spider-Man's voice called from the back of the room. "Surprised?"

To say that Adrian wasn't startled would be untrue, but he smiled and began to speak.

"You know, when you first came to the house, I was like, 'Really, this guy is dating my daughter?', but now I get why Liz likes you. It's a shame, if you weren't in my way, I would've approved of you."

"Why are you doing this to her?"

"I'm not doing anything to Liz. I'm doing this for her," He continued. "Peter, you're young. You don't get how the world works yet."

"Yeah, but I'm able to understand that selling dangerous weapons to criminals is wrong!"

"How do you think Tony Stark paid for that tower of his?"

"Yeah, that's fair," Spider-Man muttered.

"Peter. My crew and I were put out of business by Damage Control and Stark didn't try to keep our jobs. That's when I learned that people like Stark don't care about us. We fight wars for them, we repair the damages left behind, but while the rich and the powerful dine and eat steak, we have to eat their table scraps!"

Spider-Man paused for a moment to realize that Adrian was right and he found someone whose world was crushed by the same man. But, Peter couldn't help but wonder why Stark saved him from The FBI.

"I know that you know what I'm talking about," Adrian told him, taking his silence as understanding his point.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I want you to understand," Adrian paused before taking out a remote. "That, and I needed time to get her airborne."

He pressed a button and his wingsuit came speeding towards Spider-Man. He leaped out of the way and continued to do so for a while.

"For what it's worth Pete, I'm sorry I have to do this to you." Adrian apologized.

"What are you talking about? It hasn't even touched me!" Peter exclaimed.

"True, but you're not her target," Adrian told him as the wingsuit hit a pillar.

Spider-Man realized what it was doing. But it was too late. Every pillar where Peter was standing had been damaged and half of the roof crashed onto Spider-Man.

Adrian was deeply sorry, but he was getting in the way. So, he put on his helmet, strapped on his Vulture gear, and began to make his way into the dark sky.
