While Peter starts going to work, Felicia starts making her way to F.E.A.S.T. when her communicator goes off. "Black Cat, it's Yuri." She starts off. "Hey, Yuri. Has Fisk made it to Rykers yet?" She asks. "No, our boy gets the VIP treatment. He's on his way to the Raft." She explains. "Oh, he's joining Electro, Scorpion and all the rest of the criminals me and Spider put away in the past. Hope they say "hi" for us." Felicia says. "Look, I tried contacting Spider-Man m but he's not answering." Yuri says. "Yeah, Sorry, he has to get to work. We don't exactly live in these costumes." Felicia explains. "Non the less, can you swing by the prescient? Got an issue that can deal with you and his skill set." She asks. "I'll shoot him a text." Felicia says and makes her way to the prescient while swinging she shoots Peter a text and he says he'll be there soon.
Felicia makes it to the prescient as Peter gets there. "Now that you quit smoking, what do you tell people when you come up here?" Peter asks. "That I need a break from their crap." Yuri says. "So, why'd you call?" Peter asks. "Need us to hook you up with a friend for the police ball?" Felicia asks. "No ball this year. Spent too much on these Oscorp surveillance tech." She explains. "But it was worth it, right?" Felicia asks. "It was, until an hour ago. The whole system went down. Every tower." She explains. "How?" Peter asks. "They say sabotage the server and they're all down. We need to get them back online, fast." She says. "And you called us?" Felicia asks. "Aw, I'm touched." Peter says. "I called someone I can trust." She says, leaving. "We'll get them back." Felicia says. "You break it, you buy it." She explains. "I thought you trusted us." Felicia says as she leaves and they get to work getting all of the towers back online and they do that most of the day.
Later in the day, Felicia gets another tower online as Yuri calls them. "We just got another tower online, was that you?" Yuri asks. "Well, who else?" Felicia asks. "Well, that's half of them, there's still more." Yuri says. "Don't worry, Yuri. You're lovable seen too much detective is in town." Peter says over the coms. "What?" Yuri asks. "No, no, no. You promised to stop..." Yuri asks as Peter continues. "Spider-Cop." Peter says and Felicia rolls her eyes and they both hang up. They finally get the final tower back online and Peter decides to retire Spider-Cop, which Felicia and Yuri both agree they both need a drink after that. Peter decides to get some work done on his suit since the Fisk takedown destroyed most of it.
Peter makes it to the Otto Labs. He made sure doc wouldn't be in and starts working on his suit as Otto comes in. "Parker." He says and Peter does his best to hide the suit. "Dr. Octavius. What you got there?" He asks nervously. "Chinese. I would've gotten you something if I knew...what's that?" He asks, noticing the suit. "Oh, it's just a...side project." Peter tries one more time as Otto sees the suit. "Of course. It's you." He says. "I Uh..." Peter tries to make an excuse. "Oh, come on, Parker, it's obvious. I Just wish you told me sooner." Otto says. "I wanted to, but, I was afraid if word got out, it'd put the ones closest to me in danger." He explains. "I suppose if you design their equipment m you'd be a target also." Otto says. Peter thinks and just goes with what he said. "Yeah, that's it." He says. "Don't worry . Your secrets safe with me." He says and leaves.
Peter wakes up the next morning with a note from doc telling him to check his computer. He looks and sees that he made him a new suit and takes it out for a spin. He gets out in his new suit and gets a call from Felicia. "Hey, what happened last night?" She asks. "Sorry, I got healed up at work. Almost had a scare from Otto, he thinks I'm making Spider-Man and Black Cat's gear and suits now." He exllains. "Well, it's better than him learning the truth." She says. "Yeah, So what I miss?" He asks. "Yuri called us to check in on some of Fisk's construction sites. I already checked some of them, oh, and Martin Li called." She says. "He said he needs some extra time to get set up for May's surprise party." She says. "Oh, that's today." Peter says, figuring out how he forgot. "Don't worry, we've got some time to get there." She says. "I'll meet you there." Peter says and they make their way to F.E.A.S.T.
At F.E.A.S.T., Peter makes his way to the kitchen and sees Martin. "Hey, I'm sorry I'm late." He tells him. "You're right on time." Martin says. "Just keep he distracted while we get everything finished." Martin says and walks off. "I'll go help." Felicia says and walks off with Martin. Peter walks over to May. "Hat, there's my favorite aunt." He says and she sees him. "Peter. What a nice surprise." She says. "Need some help?" Peter asks her. "Yeah sure. Oh, there's some heavy boxes.." she says, walking the other way. Peter stops her. "No. No, I mean, not yet. I came to, Uh..." he starts off thinking of some excuse. "I just wanted to talk." He says. May looks at him confused. "Okay," She says as they turn around and she doesn't see the work. "Peter, are you in trouble?" She asks him. "Do you need money?" She asks. "No, no, we have that covered." Peter says. "Girl problems again?" She asks, turning around and Peter stops her. "What? No, that's crazy." He says. "I just wish you and Felicia would move forward with your relationship." She says. "She's a great girl." May says. "She is, but..." he starts. "You two would make some beautiful babies." She says and Peter starts getting uncomfortable. "Peter." She says and sits down. "What is it? What's going on?" She asks. "These past few years. You helping me through college and working here...sacrificing so much, and asking for nothing. I just wish there were more people like you in the world." He says as Felicia and Martin come up. "He's right." Martin says. May turns and sees them with a cake and decorations. "Five years ago, you walked in here saying my message inspired you." Martin says. "Now it's you who inspires me. Thank you, May, for everything." He says. "Here's to many more years of service." He says and they all clap to that.
