Schultz is walking toward Vulture in the warehouse when he speaks out:
"So that's it. You're just gonna run?"

"Feds were waiting for us. Now we're on Iron Man's radar? Yeah, I'm running. You should, too."Schultz says packing up a bag.

"You know I can't do that."

"So now what?"

"Mason, can you get that high-altitude seal thing up and running in time?"

"Seriously? Yes. You will not regret this."Mason runs to his computer.

"You in?" Toomes said to Schultz.

Schultz smiles faintly and lifts his eyebrows.

Helicopters are still flying around the ferry. Peter is perching on the edge of a building, sans mask, Seren is sitting down with a corndog from the Staten Island Ferry when Iron Man flies over to them.

"Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch: I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multimillion-dollar suit, so you could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do."

"Is everyone okay?"

"No thanks to you."

"No thanks to me?"

Angered, Peter jumps off the edge and approaches Tony.
"Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it. But you didn't listen. None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me. If you even cared, you'd actually be here."

The Iron Man suit opens, revealing Tony inside. He steps down from the suit and marches toward Peter, who backs off.
"I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid."

"I'm fifteen."

"No, this is where you zip it, all right? The adult is talking. What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that's on you. And if you died, I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes."

Peter: I, I'm sorry.

"Sorry doesn't cut it."

"I understand. I just wanted to be like you."

"And I wanted you to be better." And with that Tony turns toward Seren

"Quick thinking there kid. I see that you've excelled from your time from with Professor Xavier. When I took you under my wing, I expected the worst."Seren slumps his head at that.

"But, you showed me so much that I'm offering you a spot with us. The avengers we need someone like you."

"When will we start?"

"Okay, it's not working out for him. I'm gonna need the suit back."

"For how long?"

"Forever."

Peter shakes his head with a shocked expression. Seren is slack jawed he can't believe that he's doing this to him.

"Yeah. Yeah, that's how it works."

"No, no, no... Please, please, please..."

"Let's have it."

"You don't understand. Please. This is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit."

"If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it. Okay? God, I sound like my dad."

"I don't have any other clothes."

"Okay, we'll sort that out. So, do you have an answer for joining?"Seren looked to the side with Peter he's hanging his head down trying not to cry.

"I'm sorry, but it's a no for me." Shocking both guys Peter went slack jawed while Tony kept a stoic face.

"It's just that we're a team, but I can't be there without him. He's supported me since I've moved here. I did the same thing for him, and I can't break something like that."

Peter walks down the hallway of his apartment wearing pink Hello Kitty pajamas and an oversized NYC tourist T-shirt. Seren is walking with him in the same outfit hiding his suit he had underneath. They split at their doors and Seren walks into his home. His mom is sitting on the couch reading a french cuisine.

"Hey."

Felicity inhales deeply and closes the book.

"You know you could've exposed who you were to that whole city. You know how you get when you exert too much of your telekinesis it gets way too much.

Seren walks to Felicity and hugs her.
"He lost the suit. I can't believe Stark did that to him."

"Hun, what happened today is something that really shouldn't've happened. A lot of people could've died if you weren't there. But you could've killed everyone because you were there."
"I know that's why I feel so drained. I feel like I caused this whole mess along with what happened in D.C. I just feel like a screw up and now my friend is out of a suit."

"Hunny, you know that this is just the stress getting to you. Hero work is not for the faint of heart. Take it from me I know how it is and what it can do to the best of us."The both move to sit down in the living room across from each other.

"The only person I could see loving the work and balance between both lives perfectly was your mother. That woman could do everything."Felicity looked down and smiled at the ground."She made me the woman that I am today reformed me from the ground up and vouched for me when no one would."

"I miss maman."

"I know I miss your mother too."

"She was so kind and so compassionate. That woman was the best thing to ever happen to me. She made me a god damn good paren. Dealing with your bouts of telekinetic temper tantrums and all."She shoved Seren lightly.

"So, how is Peter taking it?"

"Not fine at all."

Through a window, we see Seren and Peter facing Principal Morita.
"You two are good kids and you're both smart kids. So just try to keep your head straight, okay?"

"Okay." The both of them said in unison

"All right. Get out of here."

They walk down the corridor. Tilt up to find a homecoming banner hanging from the ceiling.

Seren is resting his head on the desk at detention with Peter doing the same as well. He turns to find Michelle holding up a sketch of them both with a sad expression. Seren smirks and turns the other way.

We are now in French class. The clock is ticking. A hand holding a blue pen shoots into frame. It's Seren.

"J'aime faire mes devoirs"
"Très bon Monsieur Gwynn"

Seren and MJ finish their rough draft of their report in the band room. MJ hands Seren an apple, which Seren takes a bite out of it. They look over to see Peter and Ned building the lego death star. They both rolled their eyes and continued on proofreading their draft.

School bell rings. Seren walks out into an empty hallway and sees the boy from Liz's party.

"Hey."

"Hey." The tall guy responded.

"I don't think we ever properly introduced each other."

"I don't think we did."

"I'm Seren."

"I know I got your name from Liz." The guy rubbed the back of his head with a faint blush on his face. "I'm Brett."

Seren approaches Brett looking directly up at him.
"Hey, look, I, uh... I just wanted to apologize about ditching you at the party. I really-."

"It's fine. Last week, that party really made me question who I was and I can't help but thank you."

"No, I, I just mean that... it wasn't cool, especially..."he sighed."because... I like you."

"I know." Brett smirked.

Seren stares at him, shocked.
"You do?" Seren's eyes widen.

"You're terrible at keeping secrets."

"Yeah, you'd be surprised."

An awkward moment. They look at each other.
"I got to get to class, but um, I'd say we should hang out, but I'm gonna be in detention for..."

"Uh-huh."

"...ever, but um, I guess you already have a date to homecoming."

"Actually, I was so busy planning it I never really got around to that part, so..."

Brett shakes and runs his hand through his short blonde hair.
"Uh, do you want to go with me?"

"Yeah. Sure."Brett smiles.

"Really? I mean, uh, great. Cool."

"Cool."

"I'm actually going that way too." Brett walking side by side with Seren.

Carrying the hall pass, Seren walks past Brett. We see him turning to watch him go in the background. A huge grin breaks across his face.

In his apartment, he slides into the kitchen with a shark-like grin.

"Mom, I need your help."

Felicity stares at him with a surprised expression. Seren picks out a dress shirt and tie, polishes his shoes, shakes his head in front of a mirror. Felicity prepares a pink ribbon boutonniere for him. Seren sprays his favorite perfume in the air to test it, then relaxes at the scent. Felicity ties Seren's tie into a Windsor knot; overlooking his lopsided shirt collar, that is.

"Fix it."

Seren is now fully dressed in a suit. Felicity teaches him how to dance, then straightens his clothes.

Felicity's car comes to a stop in front of Brett's house.
"It's game day. So, what's the plan?"

"Open the door for him."

"Mm-hmm."

"Tell him he looks nice, but not too much because that's creepy."

"Don't be creepy."

"No. And uh, when I dance with him, I'm putting my hands on his shoulders. I got this."

Seren gets out of the car and leans into the car window.
"Love you."

"Bye."

Seren walks up to the front door, pink boutonniere in hand, then rings the doorbell. He waits with a nervous look for the door to open. With Brett's dad on the other side. Peter's smile widens.

"You must be Seren."

"Yeah."

"I'm Brett's dad, but you can call me Adam. Put her there."

They shake hands.
"Hell of a grip. Come on in here. Come on."

Adam drags Seren inside and closes the door. Seren follows Adam towards the kitchen. Suddenly:

"Hi, Seren. You look very handsome. Oh, I haven't introduced myself my name is Danielle i'm Brett's mother. It's so great to see the boy who caught our's eye. He can't stop talking about you when he comes home. "

"Really?"

"You got his name, right?"

"Seren?"

"Seren."

"Seren, Seren."

Danielle chuckles and shakes her head.
"I'm gonna go get Brett."

"Okay."

She walks out, leaving Seren with Adam. Adam starts to polish knives.
"You all right, Ren? I can call you that right?"

"Yeah."

"Because you look pale. You want something to drink? Like a bourbon or a scotch, or something like that?"

"Honestly I would but, I'm not old enough to drink."

"That's the right answer."

Adam's smile widens as he sees his son dressed in a dashing black tux with a matching pink vest.

"Wow."

Seren turns in order to see Brett.
"Wow, that's my boy."

"Please don't embarrass me, Dad."

"Doesn't he, Ren?"
Brett moves to stand next to Seren.
"Yeah, you look really good."

"Once again, that's the right answer."

"Is that a boutonniere?"

Staring at Brett, Seren smiles and hands the boutonniere.
"Thanks."

"Well, hey, I'm the driver, so, uh, let's get this show on the road." Brett said walking to the door.

"No, no, no, no, we have to take some pictures, babe. All right. Oh, right here. Perfect."Danielle said grabbing her phone.

"Mommmmmm." Brett whined.

"Okay. Come on, you guys. Seren, closer."

Seren stands beside Brett.
"Smile. There you go."

Brett's mother takes some more snaps. Seren puts on a happy grin for the photo, his eyes still glued on Adam. Brett and Danielle moved over to talk
"Sir, thank you so much for letting him take me to the dance."

"No, no, it's not a big deal. My son really cares about you Seren. You know what will happen if my son doesn't have a great night huh?"Adam cracks his fists as Seren gulped.

"I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna put that pressure on you."

Brett goes to his mother to check the photos.
"He's always doing that to anyone interested in his boy."

"Last time the guy ran and dissappeared forever."

"Have fun." The parents said at the front door with Brett leading Seren out to the car.

Brett runs back to hugs his parents.
"Thank you."

"Please be neat and wrap your meat." Danielle screamed from the front porch.

"Mom!" Brett yelled as Seren was sitting in the car with a flushed face.

Brett backs out of the driveway and starts speeding down the street to get away from his parents before they could do anything more embarrassing that that. They both roll down their windows and Seren's pink hair is whipping in the wind. Brett's bangs are looking shook right now, but it still doesn't change that he's still attractive. Seren looks at his side profile and wonders how he bagged a man for the dance like that.

"You know I never thought I would ever have someone who's like me at the dance. None the less going with me."

"Aww, Brett you really know how to compliment a man. I'm enjoying it your parents were hilarious. I wish I could have something like that."

"Babe, they were so embarrassing tonight usually they are pretty layed back especially with a girl. Guess they showed their true selves tonight."Brett blushed when he realized what he called Seren. Seren was very red as well it was ridiculous. Not only does he have a great family, he jumps right into calling each other nicknames. Nothing turns Seren on than a guy who knows what he's doing.

Soon enough the boys get into the parking lot of the school. Students all around the front waiting to get out, smoking, or just hanging out in the front. Once the teacher directed Brett into the empty area of the parking lot. Brett got out first quickly shutting his door to move over to Seren's side to open the door. Seren smiled brightly at him and let him guide him to the line. MJ turns to see him walking arm and arm with Brett. She let's a rare smile as she walks into the school.

Peter is the next to arrive the back of the car with Liz. Apparently, Liz's dad is driving the both of them. Peter looks super nervous in the back and Liz is just checking her makeup in her phone. Seren giving him the side eye decides to check into his mind to make sure he's alright. He stares with intent looking at Peter.

"I can't believe Toomes is Vulture. Holy shiz I'm in so much trouble."Peter sweats out in his mind.

"Peter…"

"Seren!"

"I'm here are you sure that's him?"

"One hundred percent he's been giving me the eye ever since I met him at the front door."

"It's funny for being Liz's friend I never met her dad once."

"Oh… is it funny? This man is one step from breaking my fudging face in and you're worried about never meeting the criminal.

"Sorry. I'll help you."

"Oh my god! Liz, you look so beautiful!"Seren screams out from seeing her walking out of the car.

"Thank you so much Ren!" she hugs him over all of the noise.

"Is that Mr. Toomes? I didn't know your dad was so… powerful looking."He eyed Toomes as he looked at him.

"Ew, Ren can you not thirst over my dad in front of me. Do whatever you want when I'm not around. Just please… not around me."

"Try me bitch. You better not lay one hand on Peter, or I'll make your mind crash so fast the next thing you'll be in the psych ward."

Seren is making his hand glow behind everyone else as a threat to Toomes. Toomes' eyes widen as the pink glow gets brighter as a high pitched whirling starts in his mind. Peter bolts out of the car as Toomes drives away. He cuts in front of everyone and catches up to his date. Still sweating bullets Peter and Liz walks down the hallway with Seren and Brett, all sounds muffled as if underwater. He stops and watches his friends through the glass doors. Party in full swing. Spotting him, Ned waves and Michelle gives Peter the finger. A beat, then Peter pulls open the door. Pop music and chattering instantly fill Peter's ears. Sereb and Brett are close to Liz and she is dancing with some of her friends. She turns to Peter when he approaches. Seren can hear them as he dances backwards to listen to everything.

"Hey. What did he say to you?"

Peter just stares at Liz with an anxious look. Liz realizes that something is off.

"Gotta go. I'm, I'm sorry. You don't deserve this."

Peter hurries away, leaving Liz in the middle of the dance floor. Michelle watches him go, craning her neck. Seren sees him run off and takes an imaginary call. Taking his acting skills to a ten his eyes start to water.

"Babe, I need to go. My mom said my best friend just got into a car accident visiting me from Westchester."

"Oh my god are you alright. You need to go I can hold it down here. I can hang out for a while once you get everything situated. Maybe if you're ok, we can go back to your place for some pizza and ice cream to cheer you up?"

"I would love that." Seren stands on his toes to give Brett a kiss to last the night. He breaks it as Brett looks on awestruck.

"Thank you, babe." He runs over in the same direction as Peter. His ass shaking as he runs. MJ is looking at him as he runs away walking towards a lovestruck Brett.

"You know, I hate to see him go but love to watch him leave." MJ just cringes and slaps him on the back shaking him out of his stupor.

Peter rushes out through the hallway and unties his tie. He lifts a row of lockers with one hand, picks up his homemade Spider-Man suit from under it. Seren catches up behind him and manages to scare him. Now clad in his homemade Spider-Man suit, Peter exits the school. Seren is getting on his mask and has his whole suit off and shoves it into his locker. As Peter is about to round a school bus, someone shocks him from behind.

"He gave you a choice. You clearly chose wrong."

"Ah, what the hell?"

"What's with the crappy costume?"

The Shocker prepares his gauntlet for another shot. Seren flings him over a school bus. Peter searches for his web-shooter, which has fallen from the impact and is lying on the ground.

"My web-shooters..."

Peter runs to the web-shooter, but Schultz hits a school bus to attack Peter, then kicks the web-shooter away.
"I wasn't sure about this thing at first, but damn."

Schultz hits Seren with the weapon, throwing him inside the bus. He spots chewed gums under a seat.
"Ugh. Gross."

Schultz punches the bus into the air. Seren tumbles as the vehicle lands upside down on the ground. Opening the door, Seren falls out. He slowly crawls to Peter's web-shooter.

"Why did he send you here?"

"Guess you'll never know."

Suddenly, a strand of the web attaches itself to the Shocker gauntlet. Reveal Ned holding the web-shooter.
"Nice shot!"

Peter pulls the web-shooter to himself and traps Schultz against the school bus with a web blast.
"Yes! Ned, the guy with the wings is Liz's dad."

"What?"

"I know. Seren and I gotta tell Mr. Stark. Call Happy Hogan. He's Mr. Stark's head of security. And uh get a computer to track my phone for me."

"Are you two gonna be okay?"

Peter jumps up onto a streetlight.
"Hurry, we gotta catch him before he leaves town."

Ned hurries toward the school building as Peter swings away.

Flash is driving his annoyed date to the homecoming dance.
"I'm sorry about dinner, but I know when branzino's fresh, and that was not fresh, okay? So..."

Flash screams as Peter and Seren land on the bonnet of his car.
"Flash, I need your car and your phone." Seren demanded in a deeper tone.

"Uh, sir, technically, this is my dad's car, sir. So I can't..."

"Now!"

Flash watches the Psycat drive away in his car with Spider-Man in the passenger's seat and hit a row of bikes. He whimpers.
