Chapter Start
Peter Parker, Baxter Building
The day after Peter had the one on one bro talk with Miles, he was busy in Harry's office compiling all the facts. He wanted to be as prepared as possible for the interview with the Bugle he hoped would clear everything up. To his surprise someone knocked on his door he wasn't expecting right now.
*Knock Knock*
"Whose at the door?" Harry asked.
"I don't know call them in."
"Why me?"
"It's your office."
"Alright. You can come in."
And there stood Robbie Robertson, the one person they were preparing so hard to persuade to write a good piece on them. Yet here he was and they had not done any final scheduling with him.
"Peter Parker busy working? Now that's an interesting site."
"I'm not lazy Robbie, I can be an adult too. But why are you here?"
"Well, I heard from a little bird that you have what you need and I thought I could interview you guys as fast as possible for the Monday news cycle."
"Who told you?" Peter asked.
"I think Aunt May told Betty what you discussed yesterday, they visited last night for a small end of week get together with Liz.", explained Harry.
"And you want the interview now?"
"Maybe a short one, video would be nice. Online news is all the rage now and were still trying to catch up to social media platforms."
Peter and Harry were caught off guard, but with everything literally within hands reach, they could go over all of it.
"Where do you want to start Robbie?"
"How about somewhat removed from what has happened recently. Why did PI and Spider-Man move into action and invade Symkaria?"
This question was all on Peter to answer.
"The Green Goblin had hijacked a country to continue the chaos he unleashed here in New York. It took multiple heroes here in New York to stop him but he still got away and built up. By going to Symkaria we had an opportunity to not only free a country under a dictatorship but stop Goblin's machinations to create a world of goblins. No one else was willing to help Symkarians or stop the Goblin but Spider-Man was and we were going to help if it meant stopping him."
"You didn't stop him, everyone has concluded that Norman Osborn go away. Does that make what PI did any better."
"It means he is delayed in his schemes and is going to have set up all over again."
"What is there that is left if Green Goblin wants to set up in another torn down country? SHIELD's defunct, PI obviously doesn't have the resources or built up goodwill to go on another hunt."
"Spider-Man will fight him if he has too. We may not be able to give him the support he may need, but we all know he'll fight the good fight even if the world won't."
"Hm good point Parker. Moving on from Symkaria and PI doing things it probably shouldn't why did Parker Industries block off most of Manhattan in some kind of bubble around the same time Hydra took over the US."
"We didn't put that 'bubble' up, we can prove it. And it's not just a bubble, it was the Darkforce, an extra dimensional energy that feeds on regular types of energy we have in this dimension."
"The fact you have a name for it means PI must have been familiar with and conducting experiments on it."
"I know of it because I worked at Horizon labs and through my friendship with Spider-Man with Reed Richards and his Foundation. I'm familiar with different types of extra dimensional phenomena, but PI wasn't working on anything like this. Our main focus has been providing cutting edge technology and communications to the public and medical research. We can provide records on all the research we've conducted along with this video to prove our innocence."
Peter shows Robbie the video of the Hydra agents setting up the device and gives Robbie a copy for the Bugles website along with records of work actually going on in the Baxter Building.
"You and Harry sure have a lot here, do you have anything here to explain why PI disabled all Webware products and took peoples personal information."
"Why would Hydra try and frame us to be in cahoots with their goals? To use what we had established to further dig their control into people. Everyone knows Hydra was brainwashing people with chemicals in the water, by using PI they could control what people connect to, who they talk to, and everything in between. We had to stop them from using our platform to launch theirs off. If it meant bricking peoples devices then we had to do it, but we can make up for that."
Peter hands Robbie a small thumb drive bring a confused look to Robbie's face.
"That is Randy's information from his Webware, we can recover people's information. Most of it can be retrieved from our encrypted back ups."
"You've got a plan for everything don't you."
"No, I'm not omniscient but we try to take common sense measures."
"Alright, I think I need anymore, you had all your bases convered. Why were you guys so worried you had what you needed."
"We weren't sure if you would spin things with your questions."
"The 'spinning' comes in the writing but were not total jerks. This is my Bugle not Jamesons or the god awful DB."
"Then thank you I guess."
"You still got a long way to go Peter, you took on a whole company and dragged your friends and family with you on that journey. You better thank them not me. I'll see you two later, I got a big piece to write for Monday."
With that Robbie left Harry's office, leaving just the two friends.
"I'm surprised he didn't bring up my old name."
"He's not a jerk Harry. Didn't you hear him, he's not Jameson so he can't be that bad." Peter says ending it with a small chuckle that Harry follows along.
"At least this worked out well for us."
"That's true. It's Saturday how about we call it a day, and tell everyone still here to head home. We got a solid victory today, might as well have at least one day of rest."
"I'm take it. I'll be home with the kids then."
Harry leaves while Peter sends a building wide message to end operations early today, give them some needed rest. From here Peter decides to go meet the younglings and confide in them more teachings from a Jedi Master.
Peter Parker, The Streets
Peter checked in with the young heroes and saw that Ms. Marvel and Spider-Boi were near by so went out in one of his Mk IV suits to test out the small adjustments he made. It didn't have the holographic insignia or light works like a dope Yi Gi Oh card, but it was still a functional suit. As he was heading to them he noticed a huge ruckus going on a few blocks east. Swinging on over there he sees a big man with green armor that made him look like a space bug or something. Peter decides to confront this man.
"Sup whats your name?" Spider-Man asks hanging upside down on a street light looking at the 8 foot man.
"I'M BIG ZAM!"
"Oh Big Zam. At least that's an original name. Uhh why you breaking everything".
"For Zeon."
"Uhhhhh are you high?" and after that Big Zam slowly lurches toward Spider-Man probably to give him a mighty kick in epic schtyle.
"BIG ZAM ATTACK!" and Big Zam does exactly that and delivers a kick, surprisingly reaching the street light. Spider-Man jumps away while also webbing Big Zam's face, hoping to blind him for a bit.
"HA YOU CAN'T BLOCK MY SCHTYLE".
'Didn't this guy see me dodge and not block his kick?' Peter wonders. He notices a refridgerator in the wreckage of the street and shoots webbing at it so he can throw it at Big Zam. Big Zam simply punches the fridge out of existence.
"HA HA HA THIS PUNY FRIDGE COULD NOT BLOCK ME OR MY SCHTYLE."
"Whats with you and schtyle?"
"HA YOU SHOULD HAVE WORKED WITH ME WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE KNOW YOU'LL LAY ON THE STREET DEAD."
'This guy is seriously stoned'
Luckily and Miles had shown up ready to fight. They land next to him readying a plan.
"Who is this guy?" Ms. Marvel asks
"He calls him self Big Zam and supposedly has an unblockable schtyle."
"A what?" The two younglings ask.
"Doesn't matter but by looking around we definitely shouldn't block his hits. He is covered in armor so she should be able to go full out with our hits. Let just keep him off balance, us Spider-Bros will keep him busy and set him up, look for an opening ."
And with that the two Spiders run off ready for close quarters combat. Peter fires a web sling at Big Zam's hand hoping Big Zam will pull him in closer. His wish is fullfilled and as he nears Big Zam, Zam is preparing a punch at Peter once he gets in close enough. But Spiderman is ready.
As Peter is pulled closer to Zam he angles his feet above him, and once Zam throws his punch lets go of the webbing and uses the speed he gain to help double stomp Zams thrown fist into the road. Then Peters quick combos by going up side down on the street with his hands and launches his feet with all his strength into Zams head force Zam to arc back as if doing a back flip. But this is just the beginning. Peter had flew past Zam after his feet lauched into Zams face, but he zipped back onto Zam and lauched himself down to punch Zam. Miles joined in and each punched one side of Zams face making him do a backflip. And then the coup de grace came from Ms Marvel. As Zam was in the inverted position of his kick and punch induced backflip. Ms Marvel threw an enlarged punch straight into one of Zam's unprotected areas, his man cooch.
"MY ZAAAAAMMM!" is all that is heard before Zam is launched away unconscious.
Miles give Kamala the look of seeing someone commit a greatest sin. While Peter is laughing his ass off definitely thinking of another man wearing a tight red suit and his reaction to this situation. The situation stays awkward once Peter and Miles begin tying up Big Zam after removing his armor and prepping him for the authorities. Peter is still giggling while Miles is petrified and Kamala is annoyed at both of them. Once Big Zam is taken away the find a place to talk on a rooftop and discuss what went down.
"I did what you told me, I found a opening and ended it." Kamala stated.
"I think you ended something else also HAHAHAHAHA!" Peter says while Miles crosses in legs remembering what happened.
"You guys are starting to get worse than Nova, so childish."
"Well you guys did good, we got in and out quick and didn't break too many things. So how about we change out of these and get some lunch."
This brings things back to normal and they go to a nearby place that has decent food and drink.
Peter Parker, Starcuts(like Starbucks and Subway combined but not as snobby as Starbucks is)
Starcuts is a repudable eatery that is famous around the world. It has a good selection of drinks and makes great sandwiches without being overly expensive. The perfect place for teenagers that are are conscious of their personal image, or soon to be ex-ceo's wanting to stay with the in-crowd.
"Yes this place has the best caramel macciatos." Kamala says
"I want a super decked out all meat sub."
As they order what they want Peter decides to treat them for their good effort the last couple of days. He was short on cash, but he wasn't completely broke. These kids had been through a lot and we're alot like him back in the day. He could be the Uncle Ben of super powered teenagers, but he had been through it all.
As there eating peacefuly chatting about their regular lifes. Someone comes up behind Peter he wasn't expecting.
"Interesting to see you here Tiger."
Peter turns around surprised that Mary Jane was here as well.
"Hey MJ."
End of Chapter
A/N: This chapter did come out on Sunday, but a little later than I wanted to due to going to my grandmas yesterday and not getting home till 4am today. Probably the biggest questions people will have is wtf inspired that fight. And well it was Game Grumps and South Park. I just randomly remembered one of South Parks episodes about Facebook and Mark Zuckerbergs "schtyle" so ya look it up if you don't know how to say it. And the Big Zam part is from Game Grumps playing Gundam Assault 2 and its like the joke for the episode.
One of the reviews mentioned about bringing in Silver Sable in some manner and I haven't really thought much about her since she's busy rebuilding her entire COUNTRY. She would owe Peter a lot for his help, but helping fight the Green Goblin in Symkaria was more of a duty rather than a favor so I am not sure how to integrate her here. I can think of a way relating to what the Green Goblin was working on in Symkaria and since he's a big deal I'm sure I could craft a way for her to help Peter out.
Besides Silver Sable, OMG MARY JANE CLIFFHANGER. Cliffhangers are the best creative construct when you don't want to write super large chapters but want some kind of hype for the next installment. But whatever, I'm going to do something that should have been done after Superior Spider-Man and thats bring MJ back into the fold.
Misc: Robbie has a son named Randolph but I just shortened it to Randy, pretty sure that would be the name people would say anyways.
