Answers to reviewers questions or statements:

Boris Yeltsin: Some of the things her family did, like the whole drug thing, will crop up.

Guest: No, Aunt May doesn't have any friends in Riverdale or even Greendale. Nah, Kilgore won't be that much of an issue in this story, yeah he'll show up from time to time to be an ass and at one point be the main antagonist in a arc in this story but he's pretty low on list of people Peter really needs to worry about. The time line is more a few months after Age of Ultron. As for their being other heroes here aside from the FF and Avengers, there's the X-men who still live at the Xavier Institute.

cabrera1234: Yes, we will.

rmarcano321: The main theme of this story, if there really is one, is two people from radically different backgrounds struggling to keep a relationship going where they live on opposite sides of a country, struggle with their feelings with one another when there are other people that seem to either intentionally be trying to get between the two or unintentionally and one of them is a superhero that regularly gets dragged into near world ending or even universe ending scenarios. Yes, other heroes will appear, the most prominent being Iron Man, Wolverine and Doctor Strange.

xGhostSniperx: He's not going to lash out in that he punches the guy, for the most part he'll take it but throw back his own snarky comments but if someone like Kade turned their attention to Ned, then Peter will push back, hard.

If there's one thing that Peter can say that Spence was better at then Midtown aside from the bullies and science classes, it was the food.

"This… this actually looks like pizza" exclaimed as he sat with Ned and Michelle at a small table in one of the cafeteria's far corners.

Peter lifted the warm pizza and took a small bite of it before his eyes practically shot open "It even tastes like pizza instead of the crappy cardboard stuff!"

Ned nodded at this as he took a bite of his spaghetti, with actual noodles, legitimate tomato sauce and meatballs "Yeah, half the staff in there is actually volunteers from nearby restaurants. They work here on Mondays and Fridays"

"That's, dude that's awesome!" Peter said as he took another bite of his pizza.

Michelle, who was busy reading a book on the social political structure of Western Europe following the collapse of the Roman Empire, smirked at Peter's statement as she flipped a page "What, your last school couldn't afford to blow money on having two to three-star quality food rather than spend it on something more practical like the Arts departments?"

Peter shook his head at this "If we were lucky, the burgers they cooked were Medium Rare… at best. At worst, still cold and all bloody"

"Yeesh, where'd you say you came from again?" Ned said as he toyed with his food with a silver fork, not actual silver, just a regular silver colored fork.

"Midtown High" Peter said as he finished his pizza with a few more bites before he moved on to his second slice.

"Oh, that explains it" Michelle said as she continued to read her book while she took a bite of her salad "Isn't that the school Osborn's kid goes to?"

Peter blinked at that "Uh yeah?"

"Interesting" Michelle said as she flipped another page "You know him?"

"Uh yeah, he's uh, he's my best friend" Peter said as he took another bite of his pizza.

"He the one that gave you your clothes" Ned said as he nodded towards Peter's attire "No offense, but I don't see you being able to afford those kinds of shirts or jackets if you originally went to Midtown"

"Offense not taken, and yeah he uh, lent me some of his stuff to wear" Peter said with a small blush "Said I might need it. Make myself less of a target here"

"Well, you're a target for simply being my new friend, so um, mission kinda failed" Ned said as he inhaled a meatball before he continued to talk as he chewed "Sorry by the way"

"Swallow first then talk Ned" Michelle said with a huff.

Ned nodded as he swallowed his food while Peter shrugged "I don't mind, you seem like a pretty cool guy"

"And the fact you two literally spent over half of Chemistry class nerdgasming over freakin Legos of all things helped construct any Lego bridge you two have" Michelle said with an eye roll.

Peter and Ned both glanced at Michelle with blank expressions before Peter shook his head "She's just jealous that she doesn't have the Lego Super Star Destroyer"

Ned nodded in agreement "I know right? All I saw she had at her house is some old school Bionicle figure"

"Gotta broaden your horizons Michelle" Peter smirked as the lone female of the trio turned another page in her book.

"Yeah, because collecting Legos is oh so life changing. Truly I have yet to live until I help you losers construct the Eclipse class super star destroyer" Michelle said.

"That you do" Ned said as he glanced back at Peter "Now I currently have nine hundred black pieces that I can use, most of them from the miniature squadron of TIE fighters that I made, but I still haven't found any big pieces to work out the frame or engines"

Peter held a hand up at this "Already covered, heck I can even use parts of my Death Star to help in that regard. As for the engines, do we want them to look like their activated or keep it cold?"

"Not sure, but we should also find pieces to use to construct the super laser at the bow. Maybe find some green pieces to simulate it about to fire?" Ned said as he took another bite of his lunch.

"Well it's a good think I have plenty of Naboo speeders and a couple of Starhoppers we can use" Peter with a fist bump to Ned who eagerly returned it.

"Sweet… hey you want to see if your other friends, Harry and Gwen want to help?" Ned asked.

"I already know they'll say no" Peter said with a sigh "I'm really the only one that likes Legos. Them, not so much"

"Their smart and have higher standards" Michelle said with a snort "I'm liking them already"

Peter stared at Michelle for a moment before he glanced at Ned "We need to get her a set"

"Agreed" Ned nodded as he tapped his chin "Now what would be a good beginner's set for her? Can't be anything over a hundred pieces, that's for sure"

"Oh my god… please, someone just put me out of my misery and save me from this hell hole of school" Michelle groaned as Peter and Ned began to go through possible Lego models she might be able to pull off on her own.

…

"Hey Kate, who's Ned's new friend?" Veronica Lodge said as she and her friend, arguably her best friend, sat down at a large table near the center of the room.

Kate Bishop looked up from her sandwich with a quirked brow before she followed Veronica's gaze to see Spence's resident punching bag and nerd, along with the school's weird girl sitting at a table with a new guy that none of them had seen before.

"Uhh, not sure. Transfer I think" Kate said with a shrug "Either that, or he's always been here and we're just now noticing him because he's with Ned and Michelle now"

Veronica hummed at that as she leaned back in her chair "I highly doubt that. I mean what person who's spent any amount of time here would want to hang out with the resident George McFly?"

"An idiot probably" Kate said with a shrug a she went back to her sandwich "Or just a guy that has no fucks to give"

Veronica snorted at this before she noticed Nick approaching the table. She gave the St. Clair a smile as she leaned up and gave the man a kiss on the lips "Hey baby"

"Ronnie" Nick purred as he sat down next to her. He glanced over Veronica's shoulder and gave Kate a wink "Sup Katey, love the purple top"

"Nick" Kate replied with a slight scowl before she began to pack her food "Excuse me Veronica, I just remembered I don't like eating next to piles of manure dressed in cheap leather with even cheaper chalone"

"Kaaaaaate…" Veronica said in an exasperated tone as the Bishop heiress stood up.

"I'll talk to you later" Kate said with a smile towards the Lodge heiress before she glared at Nick "And Nick, when you do decide to finally OD, which I hope to god is soon, please do it somewhere private and remote, so we won't have to ever see you again"

"I'll keep that in mind" he said with a smirk as he and Veronica watched Kate walk away. It wasn't until she was out of sight that Nick scoffed "Fuckin bitch"

"Hey" Veronica said as she turned towards Nick with a slight scowl "Knock it off"

Nick stared at Veronica with a blank look "She's the one with a stick up her ass"

"Well, when one's dragged to a party filled with illegal drugs and then left there to be arrested by the cops, and only avoided jail time because of their very rich daddy, they have a right to be pissed off" Veronica said as she stared at Nick with an unamused look on her face.

"…Point" Nick said with a sigh as he adverted his gaze from Veronica's piercing eyes "I said sorry and reimbursed her family afterwards"

Veronica hummed at that before she took a bite of her fries "So, how'd your weekend go? You never showed up for the party Saturday"

"Busy" Nick said with a shrug.

"What kind of busy?" Veronica asked with a grin.

"The boring kind that made me want to rip my hair out" Nick said with a snort before he glanced around to make sure there was no one close before he leaned in towards Veronica with a mischievous smile on his face "I got us new hook up yesterday"

"Hook up?" Veronica said with a bemused look on her face "Like what?"

Nick reached into his jacket for a second before he pulled out what the Lodge girl thought was a Pixy Stix "It's called Jingle Jangle"

Veronica couldn't stop the snort of laughter from escaping her "I'm sorry, but what?"

Nick rolled his eyes at this "Okay, yes I know it has a dumb name-"

"Dumb Nicky?" Veronica said with an eye roll "It sounds like something Mister Rogers would have on his show at Christmas or a Saturday morning cartoon"

"Joke all you want, but this stuff is legit" Nick said as he held it up towards Veronica "Imagine a shot of adrenaline mixed with Viagra"

"That sounds… not as pleasant as it should" Veronica said with a frown as she examined the Jingle Jangle straw in Nick's hand "Also why does it look like Pixy Stix?"

"So no one will notice" Nick said as he pocketed the narcotic.

"Yeah, because teenagers throwing back a Pixy Stix isn't unusual at all" Veronica said with a shake of her head "Nick, you do know that cops are smarter than what most horror slasher flicks depict them as, right? They do know that a teen throwing back a Pixy Stick is kinda odd"

"Maybe, but they're not smart enough to stop some asshat in a red and blue onsie" Nick said with a scoff, causing Veronica to frown.

"Um, excuse me?" she said as she leaned forward.

Nick glanced at her with a smirk "The uh, Spider guy running around. Cops been trying to get him for a year now. I mean how hard is it to catch a guy that swings around like a retarded Tarzan-"

"You do realize that said 'Retarded Tarzan' saved me from being mugged or worse only a few nights ago, right?" Veronica said with narrowed gaze "And has done the same for hundreds of others in this city too"

Nick glared at that "And he also got half the clubs we go to in the city shut down when he snitched on Lincoln for supposedly being the 'Big Man of Crime'"

"Which he was" Veronica said.

"They haven't proved anything other than he embezzled in several companies that he bought illegally" Nick countered with a shake of his head "And need I remind you that just a week ago he destroyed a building complex that your father's company had invested heavily in?"

Veronica huffed at that "The fact that a guy made of sand was able to easily demolish a state of the art apartment complex that was supposed to withstand a missile strike for whatever reason should be clue enough that investing with those people wasn't the smartest idea. If anything, Spider-man saved my father more money than he lost from that"

"Always trying to find a way to defend him" Nick said with a shake of his head.

That's how it always was with Veronica, in her eyes Spider-man never did anything bad. She thought he was heroic, brave and probably even a real cutie, not that Nick gave a damn. All he saw was some Avengers wanna be jackass screwing up things that were fine before he came along. The punk in the last month alone got several dealers that Nick went to arrested and has been forcing him to look elsewhere to get something to party with.

It wasn't like he could go to Hell's Kitchen anymore since the red ass clown over there took down the Triads.

After a few moments of silent brooding over the fact that this city's 'heroes' were screwing up his livelihood, Nick let out a sigh "Look, I didn't come here to drive off your tight ass BFF or talk about your school girl crush on some bug fetish weirdo"

"And yet you're the one that brought them both up" Veronica said in an icy tone, still unhappy with the way Nick talks about her rescuer.

Nick rolled his eyes at this "Look, some of us are heading to a party in Central Park tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go?"

"A party in Central Park, on a school night?" Veronica said with a frown "Uhhh why?"

"Because it's be fun" Nick insisted as he placed a hand on Veronica's lap and gently rubbed the smooth skin with his thumb.

"Maybe, but I have a test in chemistry tomorrow and I'm already failing that class enough as it is, don't need to give my parents another reason for me to drop cheerleading" Veronica said with a dry smile as she removed Nick's hand from her thigh.

"You'll be fine" Nick said with a shrug.

"Not everyone has parents that overlook failure or lazy tendencies" Veronica said with a sigh as memories of her conversations with her parents over the past few weeks came to mind.

They, or more accurately her father, made it clear that if she couldn't pull up her grades, then they may very well cut her off until she turned things around. Something that Veronica doubts she'd be able to pull off.

At least, on her own.

'Of all the rich parents in the world, I had to get the ones that all about hard work and not slacking off because there's a few zeros behind our family name' Veronica thought with a annoyed scowl before she saw that Nick was still waiting for an answer.

After a few moments, she sighed "Sorry Nick, maybe next time"

Nick's brow furrowed at this before he leaned back and nodded, clearly aggravated "Sure…"

The two sat there for a few moments in silence before Veronica saw Kade Kilgore enter the cafeteria… and making a beeline straight towards Ned, Michelle and the new guy's table.

'Uh-oh' Veronica thought as Kade grabbed Ned by the shoulder and pulled him out of his seat.

…

"Dude, get off!" Ned said as he tried to pry Kade's hands off his shirt while Peter and Michelle jumped from their seats.

"Let him go Kade" Peter said with narrowed eyes.

Kade paused and glanced at Peter with a smirk "Or what?"

"Or I'll ram my foot so far up your ass I'll be able to use your cheap ass teeth to polish my nails" Michelle said with narrowed eyes, the grip on her book so tight that it was a wonder her fingers didn't tear into it.

"Bitch, was I talking to you?!" Kade said as he glared at Michelle as he shoved Ned into Peter.

"You are now" Michelle spat as Kade stood before her with a glare.

Kade stared at the girl for a moment before he shook his head in amusement before he snatched the book she had in her hands and held it up to see what it was called.

"Give that back!" she said as she made to grab the book back only for Kade to place a hand on her chest and push her back.

"Now, now, I'm curious to see what Spence's resident book blower likes to read in her spare time. Though based off the title, it says plenty" Kade snickered as Michelle glared at him with rage.

"Kade, give her back the book" Peter said as he took a step towards Kade.

Normally Peter wouldn't be the kind of guy to fight back against a bully, but when said bully starts tormenting his new friends, well Peter isn't one to stand around and let it happen…

Plus, it's not like he has an image of being a wallflower to keep up here, a school that knew nothing about how he used to be.

'Guess there is some benefits to moving here' Peter thought as Kade stepped right up to his face until their noses were almost touching.

"I'm sorry, but did you just order me to do something?" Kade said in a low voice.

"If by me asking you to give Michelle's book back? Then yes, I did order you" Peter said only moments before his spider-sense went off and he took an instinctive step back as Kade tired to punch him in the gut.

'Well this escalated quickly' Peter thought as he bumped back into the table he was sitting at before he moved to the side as Kade tired to take a swing at him again only to brush past Peter and nearly fall face first into the table.

Peter quickly placed some distance between himself and Kade who had turned towards Peter with a furious expression on his face and looked like he was about to attack again when a woman's voice suddenly rang out through the cafeteria.

"What's going on here?!"

The whole room froze and turned towards the doorway to see Principle Martha Connors standing there with a displeased expression on her face. Her eyes canned the various students as she entered the cafeteria and came to a stop between Peter and Kade. Principle Connors eyes narrowed at both students before she gestured for them to follow her.

Kade didn't seem to take this well as he made to open his mouth before Principle Connors beat him to it "One word Mister Kilgore, and I'll be calling your father you've been acting out… again"

Kade growled at this but remained silent as he and Peter followed Spence's Principle to her office in light of their little scuffle in the cafeteria.

'Man, first day here and I'm already being taken to the Principle's office… that's gotta be a record' Peter thought with a grim chuckle.

It didn't take the three long to arrive at the office and for Peter to be seated at a chair outside the Principle's office while she dealt with Kade Kilgore first. Peter didn't waste any time taking his seat while Kade was brought into the office where for the next ten minutes he was likely scolded, chewed out and punished for instigating a fight within the cafeteria. Peter used this time to examine the administrative office, something told him that he'd be seeing a lot of this area in the coming months, mainly because he either didn't show up to class or was late, a common occurrence back at Midtown.

'Though something tells me Spence won't be as lenient to me as Midtown was' Peter thought as he leaned back in his chair just as Kade emerged from the office with a seething look of rage on his face.

He didn't even bother to glance in Peter's direction as he stomped away from the office and the voice of Principle Connors spoke up.

"Mister Parker, you can come in now"

Peter let out a small sigh as he stood up and approached the opened door before entering the small brightly lit office to see the Principle standing by her window, gazing out at the courtyard below.

"Take a seat Mister Parker" she said, not turning to look at him.

"Yes ma'am" Peter nodded as he took a seat in the same chair that Kade was in and took this time to quickly examine the Principle's office.

It was fairly simple compared to the Principle's office back at Midtown. The metal desk had two monitors on it and a keyboard and four photos on it's surface, one of which was angled in a way that allowed Peter to see it was a picture of the Principle and what he could only assume was her husband. Peter stared at the small picture for a moment before his eyes widened in surprise. The man standing beside her was none other than Doctor Curtis Connors, a world-renowned scientist who specialized in herpetology and has written several ground-breaking papers on the use of gene splicing to try and equip humanity with reptilian regenerative capabilities.

'Whoa… she's married to the Curt Connors!' Peter thought with wide eyes 'I wondered why her name sounded familiar, then again I'm pretty sure Connors might be a common last name. Well maybe not common but there is only so many words in the world and only so many last names one can have before they start to either sound similar or actually are the same but with no blood rel-'

"Peter Parker are you paying attention?" Principle Connors said with an exasperated sigh as she turned towards the young man to see he had a sort of distant look on his face 'May wasn't kidding when she said her nephew would wander…'

Peter blinked at the sound of his name before he nodded "Yes ma'am"

Principle Connors hummed at that while she took her seat "So, Kade gave me his side of the story, now I'm curious to hear yours"

Peter blinked at this "Well, um, me, Ned and Michelle were having lunch until he came in and grabbed Ned out of his seat. He then took Michelle's book and insulted her and when I told him to stop, he attacked me, or tried to at least"

"Mm-hmm…" she hummed as she leaned back in her chair and twirled a pen in her hand "So, you didn't instigate the fight first by insulting him, correct?"

"Uhhhh noooo…" Peter said with a slow shake of his head 'Wait, did he actually say I started it?!'

Connors hummed at that before she leaned forward ion the desk "I'm going to be honest with your Mister Parker…"

"Okay" Peter said with a nod.

"I'm willing to let you off with a warning because from what I'm told from both your Aunt May and Principle Monita, you're a good kid. Piss poor time management yes, but you're a good kid" Connors said before her eyes narrowed "But I don't want to see you in this office again for something like this, am I clear?"

"Yes ma'am" Peter said with a nod.

"Good" Connors said as she leaned back in her chair while Peter stood up to leave "Oh and Mister Parker?"

"Yes Principle Connors?" Peter said as he was halfway to the door and about to head back to the cafeteria to get his things for class.

"Next time Kade gives you, Ned or Michelle any trouble, come straight to me" she said with a serious expression "I've already told Kade to leave him and her alone several times before. This was his final warning. Next time it's our right expulsion"

Peter quirked a brow at this "He's been told and probably punished several times already and he's still attending this place?"

Martha sighed at this "Times like this where I really wish his father wasn't a substantial donor to this school, else I'd have him kicked out after the first offense"

"Ah" Peter said with a nod of understanding, seems like Kade has only been able to stay in Spence because of his Dad's money "So, I guess it's just bite the proverbial bullet with him?"

"Actually, you may not have to for much longer" Martha said with a thoughtful expression on her face "Just the other day Tony Stark had made a very charitable donation to Spence, over four times then whatever Mister Kilgore has ever given us since his son first started to attend here"

Peter blinked at hearing that his childhood hero had just recently donated a boatload full of money to his new school "Really? Why?"

Martha shrugged at this "He did attend here for a year before he graduated early. Maybe he felt like giving back to the school that put up with him longer than MIT ever could…"

…

"So, what's the verdict?" Ned said as he and Peter made their way down the front steps of Spence several hours later, the day finally being over for the both of them.

"I was left off with a warning since this was my first offense and because apparently my Aunt and former Principle put in a good word for me" Peter said with a sheepish expression "Which will mean jack the next time I get called in… probably before the end of the week if my track record from Midtown holds up"

Ned snorted at this "What, were you some kind of delinquent back at your old school or something?"

"No, just ate a lot" Peter said with a laugh.

"Why?" Ned asked curiously.

"Traffic, poor time management and just sheer rotten luck" Peter stated with a grin "You know, the usual crap us high schoolers must be burdened with until graduation"

"Ah, I feel ya pain there man" Ned said as he patted Peter on the shoulder "still, at least it sounds like Kade won't be sticking around much longer"

"Shame, he seemed like such a nice guy to know" Peter said dryly.

"Yeah, once he's gone all I have to really worry about is Nick" Ned said with a frown "And honestly I feel like he's worse"

"What makes you say that?" Peter asked.

Ned shrugged "I don't know, it's just that weird feeling you get when your around someone you know isn't good. Like you don't want to run into them in a back alley kinda bad"

Peter hummed at that "Sounds like half the people I've met"

"Really?" Ned said with amusement.

"Hey, you'd be surprised by how many unsavory individuals I find myself around" Peter said with a snort.

"Jesus, I didn't know Midtown was that bad" Ned said with a shake of his head.

"It's not, it's more from my part time job that I sort of kinda have" Peter said.

"Really, what's that?" Ned questioned.

"Photography, for the Bugle" Peter revealed, causing Ned to let out a low whistle.

"Daaamn…" Ned said before a thought came to him "Hey, aren't they the guys that always seem to get a kick ass picture of Spider-man?"

"And blast him harder than the Bikini Atoll during the Cold war? Yeah, that's us" Peter said with a sigh "And yes before you ask, the editor is every bit as bad as he seems on that giant ass jumbo Tron he has set up in Times Square for him to scream to the world"

Ned nodded at that before he smirked "And that mustache, is it real?"

"Oh it's real, and every time he thinks Spider-man did something bad, it twitches" Peter said with a snicker.

The two broke out into a laugh at that as they made their way back tot heir respective homes, all the while unaware that standing on the far edge of the courtyard, Kade Kilgore watched them with narrowed eyes…

…

And done.

Next chapter, on a routine patrol by Central Park, Peter discovers he's not the only one on the hunt…
