Peter was currently in the middle of working out in a new home gym he put together a while ago after the Demons. He was doing pull-ups on a bar in the middle of the room wearing a workout outfit that consist of a short sleeved shirt and short shorts.
"My god, you look good when you do that." MJ complimented.
Peter flipped upside down using his legs bent on the bar and looked in shock as he saw what MJ was wearing. She was wearing cut up jeans but that wasn't exactly unusual for her, it was more of the shirt that put him off.
The shirt she was wearing and two cut sleeves and seemed small enough to show off a small part of her stomach and what was around the top of the shirt, which was all white, but the top of it had a Spider-Man face on it.
"What the heck is that?" Peter questioned with an unamused look.
"These things are everywhere." MJ said as she pinched her shirt and pulled it to show the full shirt off. "You like?"
"I don't remember getting residual checks for that." Peter stated.
"Wow." Someone said, causing the two to turn around to see Oliver looking at the room. "Since when did we have a home gym?"
"When me and Walter decided it was easier than going to an actual gym where everyone is going to be staring at you." Peter answered as he pulled himself back up from the bar and then grabbed it before dropping his legs off and then hanging a foot off the ground before dropping the bar and hitting the floor. "Needed to stay in shape somehow."
"Where is Walter?" Oliver questioned as he noticed he wasn't home.
"Uh...I think he left early for the company." Peter guesses as he grabbed a towel to wipe himself down.
But in reality, Walter was sitting in Iron Heights where he was waiting to see Moria who was lead over to him.
"Walter." Moria greeted as she took a seat at a table across from him. "It's...been a while."
"Yes, I'm sorry that I haven't come here sooner, but I have been swamped at Queen Consolidated." Walter explains to her, sorry they had to meet under these circumstances.
"No, don't apologize I understand." Moria promises. "But I have a feeling this isn't exactly just because you wanted to see me?"
"It's...it's Peter. I'm becoming worried about him. He's out all day and night most days, and when he comes home, he has bruises, sometimes I catch him with a cut and blood."
Moria sighed and knew Peter's Spider-Man activities would've attracted attention from Walter sooner or later. But knowing there was nothing that she could tell him that wouldn't lead him to finding out Peter was Spider-Man, she played the only card she had and was on her way on working on before she was arrested.
"It's something that he doesn't like others to know about, but it's nothing terrible like you're thinking." Moria promises him and sighed. "There's a boy in school. I was going to talk to him about it, but...well, you know..." She gestured around the prison with a small chuckle. "His name is Eugene Thompson..."
Peter was walking to school today, wanting to feel a bit normal today and when he passed Miles' home, he saw he was being pushed around by some of the streets bullies.
"I said I don't like you walking on my side of the street!" One of the boys said to Miles and Peter was surprised he wasn't using his powers to fight back.
But he didn't miss the angry look on his face, and he was getting ready to do just that.
"Hey, guys." Peter greeted them casually. "Mind letting my friend go?"
The two boys then groaned and marched off and Peter helped Miles pick up his books. "Thank for that, man."
"No problem, Miles. I used to deal with guys like this a lot." Peter informed him.
"What'd you do to make it stop?" Miles asks as the two of them started to walk off down to school.
"Post-spider bite, I became friends with MJ who scared most of the other guys." Peter confessed, cashing Miles to laugh.
"MJ? Mary Jane?" Miles asked, not believing him. "The same Mary Jane I know?"
"Trust me, you're lucky to be on her good side. Those on her bad side are poor souls." Peter informed him. "So, anything happen?"
"Well...there was something strange." Miles confessed, thinking of that strange woman who he saw beat those attackers up the other night.
They then looked and saw a rally was formed outside of the hospital with Sebastian Blood. No, that's literally his name.
"This city is falling on all counts. We're the only ones who give a damn about what's going on." Blood stated and Peter and Miles stopped to listen for a second, but they were even more shocked when they saw Oliver and Diggle leave the building. "We cannot stand by while the doctors on the other side of those doors are working with the bare minimum of resources because the police department already sees us as a lost cost."
"Yeah, we should look into stopping them." Miles commented to Peter.
"Well, with the Demons defeated, I can agree with you there." Peter agreed.
"You know, I can help." Miles told Peter.
"I know you want to help out, Miles, but at least try and best Stick before I have you go against more trained people." Peter assured Miles. "Don't worry, you'll be out there fighting crime before you know it."
That night, the team all met up at F.E.A.S.T. after Peter visited his mother.
"We have anything on these hijackers?" Peter asked MJ and Anya.
"FEMA's shipping 100,000 units of medical opiates to the Glades Memorial tonight." MJ informed him on what they were able to find out.
"How did you learn this?" Miles was afraid to ask.
"I have friends online who have friends who also have friends." MJ replied with a smile.
"I see what you mean." Miles informed Peter who nodded in agreement.
"Then ill intercept them on their route." Peter promised and walked into the back room to change into his Spider-Man gear.
At the FEMA shipping department, they were loading up the trucks just as two men on motorcycles came driving up and shooting them down.
They then shot the remaining others and went up to the last man in the area when they were suddenly shot in the back by webs and yanked them backwards.
The two motorcyclists looked and saw it was Peter standing in the middle of the road. "Make the delivery!"
The man then got up and got into the vehicle and was going to be stabbed by a knife sent flying, but it was intercepted by an arrow coming down and stopping it.
"What the heck?" Peter asked when he suddenly turned and saw it was the Vigilante. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"What the hell are you doing here?" The Vigilante asked him when Peter's senses went off and the driver drove off with the car.
"The Emerald Archer and the Spectacular Spider-Man." A female voice called as Peter and Oliver turned and saw a woman with long plantium-blonde hair. "What are the chances that the two of you would turn up here?" She questioned while spinning her knife around her hand.
"Well, there's trouble. That's literally all that I needed to know." Peter quipped with a shrug.
"I never really got to pay you back for your past interference in my business." She informed Oliver.
"Your business is going under, Chen. Permanently." Oliver stated.
"You two know each other?" Peter asks when his senses went off again and they were both met with someone dropping down wearing an all green outfit and red visors over his eyes.
But what was distinctive to this guy? Possibly his giant tail.
Yeah, after Mr. Negative, this is not surprising to Peter.
"Spider-Man." The man in the suit snarled at the hero. "I've been dying for a rematch."
"You know this guy?" Oliver asked Spider-Man.
"Uh...possibly. I meet a lot of guys in green." Peter quipped sarcastically. "And who are you?" He asked the man in the outfit. "The Scorpion?"
"Oh, such a fitting name." The man snarled. "Considering scorpions are the natural enemies of the spider." He stated before sending his tail flying at the two as Peter leaped out of the way and landed on the side of the second truck and Oliver ducked and got out of the way as the tail embedded itself into the ground.
"Okay, now that makes more sense!" Peter declared as he climbed up the side of the truck and onto the roof.
"Our new partnership was easily cemented." Chen informed the two of them. "I was eager to see you dead, and he was eager to kill you both."
Oliver then raised his bow and shot at the Scorpion but was shocked to see his arrows all bounced off of his armor.
"No kill shots?" Scorpion asked him as Chen climbed into the second truck. "I was promised a fight."
Peter then leaped down and shot a web to his lenses. "Then you came to the right place!" He then went in and kicked Scorpion in the back and sent him flying into the side of a building. "Look at that, beat up my first super suited villain. I am checking off all the boxes this month!"
"He's not down yet." Oliver informed this energetic hero.
"What makes you say that?" Peter asked as he turned to face him, missing his senses warning him as the Scorpion's tail flew out and smacked Peter and sent him flying into the side of the truck, leaving a massive dent. "Never mind." He cracked out.
Oliver shot more arrows and tried to find a weak spot on his armor and went for his mouth, but it seems to have a visor that comes down when the wearer wants it to.
"You're not going to defeat me that easily!" Scorpion promised and went to sting Oliver but was blocked off by Peter webbing it down.
"Same goes for me here!" Peter declared as he grabbed onto his tail, causing Scorpion to start spinning around, ramming Peter into a brick wall, followed by a lamp post.
"This doesn't look like it, but this is extremely painful!" Peter informed the archer who was watching as they all heard sirens approaching and was quickly followed by a dozen cars and even more cops aiming their guns at the three of them.
"Oh, great. The boys in blue." Scorpion moaned in anger as he raised his tail which still had Peter attacked to it.
"You do know there are some women on the force. Right?" Peter slurred out as his head was still recovering from the multiple concussions.
"Starling City Police!" One of the officers cried as both Peter and Oliver took notice of Laurel in the crowd. "You're surrounded. Put down your weapons or we will open fire!"
"You're kidding me, right?" Peter asked them as Oliver ran and shot a pipe which caused smoke to appear, causing both Scorpion and Peter to both race off as well.
Oliver ran down an alley and was shot in the leg in the process of his escape while Peter ran down the other alley where Scorpion ran down.
"Freeze!" Someone cried, causing Peter to turn around and see Yuri with a gun raised. Peter was seriously confused as to what she was doing when he noticed that she was bobbing her head in a gesture to run. "Go..."
"Ooh." Peter understands what she was saying and quickly ran off, followed by several gun shots which all missed him on purpose as he climbed up a wall and was able to escape.
