After escaping the police, Vigilante, and Scorpion, Peter was back in the Spider's Nest looking over the recent fight his camera in the suit caught while tending to his wounds.
"I love how we live in a city where the police are more interested in capturing Good Samaritans rather than the criminals." MJ commented as the fight went to the part when the police opened fire on him and the Vigilante. "Our parents' tax dollars at work."
"Yeah, and it seems the Vigilante's back for good." Peter commented. "I'm definitely going to need something to take down this new guy."
"Scorpion looks like he's going to be a handful." MJ confirmed. "You know...there is someone who is more than willing to help."
Peter looked to her with a raised brow. "You want me to take Miles out into the field? He's not ready. Especially for someone like this."
"When did you know you were ready?" MJ asked him.
"I...I didn't." Peter confessed. "I just...did it. I went out there, fought them first guy who was putting others in trouble."
MJ looked at him with that strange eyebrow trick she does to trick him into seeing from her point of view.
"Don't do that!" Peter demanded her.
"Do what?" MJ asked innocently as she placed her elbows on the desk.
"Do that thing where you make me see the hypocrisy in my words." Peter snarled at her.
"What hypocrisy?" MJ asked, her words filled with innocence.
Peter growled in anger and slammed his head against his desk before signing in defeat. "Fine. You win."
"Of course I do." MJ said as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms behind her head to relax.
"You at least have a costume for him?" Peter asked, his head still against the desk.
"Meh, I'll work out something later. But I do have a few of your prototype suits on standby." MJ supposed.
"I don't know about this, guys." Miles confessed as he was currently hiding in the Spider Nest.
Peter, Anya, and MJ were watching from the bedroom, waiting for him to exit.
"Come on, Miles. It's just us. Nobody's gonna judge." Peter promised him.
"Fine." Miles sighed as he walked out, revealing his suit.
The suit he was currently wearing was all black bottom, with a red top. The black began at the spider symbol, which went from his neck all the way down to his pants while his symbol went all the way across to his shoulders. His fingers were all red, as were the pieces between the symbol, and his mask had all black lenses.
Peter didn't choose this suit, because it looked too dark for him as he didn't wanna look like some monster and scare people. But it's the only one that'll fit Miles until they come up with a more permanent suit for him.
"It feels...weird. And itchy." Miles commented as he scratched his neck.
"It's one of Peter's prototype suits I designed for him." MJ explained.
"Wait, you designed and made his suits?" Miles asked MJ.
"Think of me like Edna Mode from the Incredibles." MJ said with a shrug while leaning on the desk.
"Meh, we'll find out something better for you to wear later." Peter promised as he grabbed his mask. "Right now, we need to get the next convoy and make sure they stay en-route. And it's time to show I trust you."
"I'm right behind you." Miles promised.
"That's exactly where I need you. This guy's gonna be tough to take down, so I need your help, but to also stay back just in case." Peter asks of him.
"Copy that." Miles saluted playfully.
Peter looked to MJ who gave him a nod of approval as he just rolled his eyes. This might just be a mistake later.
Scorpion just murdered the driver of both the trucks and Chen was there with him and two other guys.
"If anyone gets in our way, mow them down." Chen tells them all just as an arrow comes flying in, followed swiftly by two Spider-Men leaping down.
"Hey, guys. We're not late to the party, are we?" Peter asked them as they saw the Vigilante has already started a hand fight against Chen.
"Whoa, the Vigilante?" Miles asked Peter in shock.
"Yep, but let's stay focused. It's not him or she we're after." Peter stated just as his senses went off and he saw Scorpion's tail coming at them. "Watch it!" He cried and tackled Miles just as Scorpion charged at them.
"Two spiders?!" Scorpion asked in anger before turning onto a smile of joy. "This'll be just twice as fun!"
"Well, welcome to Superhero 101." Peter said as he ducked to dodge the tail again and began to shoot webs at the enemy arachnid. "Where the street is your classroom, and books are replaced with on-the-job training!"
He then shot a web at the tail, but Scorpion used it to yank Peter and send him flying across the street. That was swiftly followed by Miles leaping in and punching Scorpion in the face.
"Well, that's good. Because...I'm a...hands-on kind of guy?" Miles was trying to come up with a good quip, but saw he failed on that one. "I'm terrible at quipping."
Scorpion then got back up and charged at the two. "That quip would've worked better if you used your hands!" Peter stated as he leaped in, used his web to yank himself at Scorpion, punching him in the face and breaking one of his visors. "Hands, see? Nailed it!"
"One Spider-Man in this town was irritating enough." Scorpion snarled as he got up and wiped the blood from his lips. He then started running in and leaping to attack Peter with his tail.
"You know what they say." Peter started as he waited as he backflipped to dodge the tail, as it embedded itself into the ground and he webbed it down. Miles then came running in and used a web to swing in and kick Scorpion in the face. "Two web-heads are better than one."
What they didn't notice was Diggle sneaking past all of the fighting and getting into the truck and fighting off the criminal. "Healthcare has enough problems without you punks." He then got into the car and drove off, leaving the heroes to fight.
"You know these jokes are kinda terrible, right?" Miles asked as he dodged a smack from the armored criminal. He then leaped and flipped off the tail and into the air when he fell and punched Scorpion in the back. "Have you ever stopped a bad guy with comedy before?"
Peter then shot two webs at Scorpion, pinning his hands to the ground, followed by the tail. "Not yet, but there's a first time for everything. Now why don't you try using those new web shooters?"
"Good idea." Miles said as he aimed his web shooters. "Take that, Scorpion!" He cried as he shot a web out but ended up hitting the engine of the car.
"...Well, okay. The shooters work, but you need to work on your aim later." Peter tells Miles.
"Well, it's not like you did everything right when you first started, right?" Miles asked as Scorpion was working on breaking out of the webbing.
"You mean four months ago? Yeah, obviously. "Peter asked him as Scorpion leaped over to them and tried to take them both down with his enormous tail as they both dodged it. "Dude, you trying to confiscate for something with that tail?" He questioned before punching Scorpion and send him flying past Miles who watched everything while kneeling on top of a mailbox. "I'm not exactly a veteran at this." Peter commented to Miles.
"Well, you're a great teacher so far. At least when it comes to swinging and fighting. The training mostly came from Stick." Miles confessed.
"I'm...flattered?" Peter guessed and they saw Scorpion was getting back up.
"Do you two ever stop talking?" Scorpion asked them just as an arrow comes past and shot him in the back, electrocuting him and causing him to faint and they saw Vigilante.
"The police can finish from here." Oliver informed the two.
"It won't matter." Scorpion stuttered out. "They'll never trust any of you."
"Doesn't matter to us. We'll always protect them." Peter promised as they turned around and saw Vigilante's already escaped.
"When do we learn how to do that?" Miles asks.
"Ask the blind man." Peter joked as they heard sirens and quickly make their way away from the crime scene.
"After a prolonged pursuit, police have arrested, Chien Na Wei, a high ranking member of the local Chinese Triad, which was responsible for the recent hijackings of pharmaceuticals bound for Glades Memorial. Representatives praise the efforts of the SCPD in saving the hospital, though some sources say that not only did the vigilante appear, and not one but two Spider-Men were involved. As if one masked menace wasn't bad enough!"
Peter and the others were watching the news with smiles on all of their faces on their recent accomplishment.
"So...does that mean we're both gonna be called Spider-Man? Because I was thinking what if I went by a different name?" Miles asked them.
"Go ahead and come up with any name you want, man. Spider-Boy, Arachnophobia, whatever you want." Peter promised him.
MJ then got an alert on her phone, and what was there shocked her. "Uh...you said you saw a blonde woman in black wearing a mask?"
"Uh...yeah." Miles confirmed. "Why?"
"Because the police radios are blowing up on the Vigilante being rescued at the police station by someone like that." MJ explained and that shocked all of them.
"Another mask." Anya sighed.
