Chapter 18: Reunion

Things went the same for Peter since he went back to school after being 'absent'. Flash still wouldn't get off his back as he is determined to find out where Peter had gone. Gradually, Peter was still healing but that didn't seem to bother him.

If there was one thing that came out all of this, it was that Peter—as Spider Man—made the news headline without any doubt though there was a particular column which grabbed Peter's interest and it was at that time where, for a brief moment, he was Iron Man's suit.

Tony was also still healing. If anything, he suffered more injuries than Peter did. Peter still couldn't shoot webs as his web shooters were still in the process of being fixed. He hoped that they would be functional soon—he really missed gliding around the city and plus, it would give something for Peter to brag about to the Daily Bugle since as of right now, Spider Man was labelled as 'The Wingless Spider'.

Michelle and Ned were doing rather good though Michelle was still a bit shaken but she tried to not let that bother her.

Aunt May, on the other hand, kept on being worried tirelessly and when Peter finally made an appearance, she jumped on him, kissing him profusely and hugged him tightly as though she was afraid to lose him.

And then, that week came by much to Ned's disappointment.

"Man, they should cancel them. We're still recovering."

Peter grinned as they walked out from the gym. Exams had just been finished and now they were waiting for the dreadful part. The results.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, even Spider Man doesn't get special treatment."

Ned grunted. "Yeah but they don't know that's it you under the mask."

Peter laughed. As they were walking down the hallway, Peter stopped and saw Michelle through the sea of students who was at her locker.

"Hey, uh…I've got something to do. I'll see you later?"

Ned nodded. "Yeah…"

Peter walked down the hall, pushing through the sea of students until he reached her.

"Uh, hey…"

Michelle turned around to see Peter and she smiled a bit.

"Hey…"

"So uh…h…how are you?"

Michelle shrugged. "Alright though I believe I owe a Spider Man thank you."

Peter grinned. "If only you could meet him in person other than seeing him in battle, right?"

Michelle laughed. "Yeah, that would be cool," she paused. "How did you do on you exams?"

Peter shrugged. "Alright. You?"

"Hopefully I passed."

Peter smiled.

"But uh anyways, I've got to go," Michelle responded as she closed her locker. "See you around?"

Peter nodded and he watched her walking away. Michelle stopped and couldn't help but to have a small smile tugging her lips. She turned around to still see Peter standing at the same spot.

"MJ," Michelle spoke which earned a confused look.

"What?" Peter asked blankly.

"Mary Jane," Michelle continued. "My real name is Mary Jane. I've used Michelle as a cover up I guess—not even my friends know my real name."

Peter stared at her as he was registering the information. Needless to say, he was actually mind-blown since he didn't expect this reveal.

"Okay…MJ…"

Michelle smiled before she walked away.

"So? How did it go?"

"Easy. I passed," Peter answered which made Tony smile.

"Of course you did. Was there ever any doubt?" Peter flashed him a quick smile. "You saw the Daily Bugle?"

"Yeah," Peter sulked. "Can't believe they called me the 'Wingless Spider'," he groaned.

Tony chuckled. "But it suits you," he grinned. Peter shot him a helpless look before he resumed sulking. "But…that's not why I called you here…"

Peter perked up, fully interested in what he had to say.

"You see, during the fight with the Wizard—the time where your er…web shooters went 'out of service'—"

"And where you made Jarvis be a complete jerk."

Tony started to speak again but he made a good-hearted laugh. "Anyways, I had taken the liberty to recreate your most precious gadget during in my absence. "

Peter's jaw drop with shock as he wore a stunned look on his face. "You wha?"

Tony smiled. "Well surely you didn't expect me to have you save the city without your webs, now did you?"

Tony then walked towards the spot where it contained an object and then he walked back to Peter who eyed the item that was in his hands. There, he revealed brand new web shooters that contained rich texture. The silver color outstood every other color, showing the elegance and the smoothness as the gauntlets were round and in the middle of the two gadgets had the spider insignia that was in the color of black. There were a tints of red and blue which outlined the outside part.

"Oh and they are electricity proof too," Tony added as Peter took them.

"Thank you!" Peter exclaimed as he jumped from his seat, hugging Tony who got startled from the unexpected move though he grunted from the impact.

"Remember…I'm still healing…" Tony replied.

"Uh, right…sorry…"

However, Peter stared down at the ground, being in deep thought. He couldn't help but to feel that he doesn't deserve this. Tony frowned at the sudden behaviour from Peter.

"You alright?"

"I..." Peter hesitated. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. "I should've listened to you when you told me not to do certain things. You know more about saving the world than me and you know what the challenges would be; I don't. I don't know how to be a hero," he looked down at the newly fashioned gadgets he just received. "I don't deserve this..."

Tony frowned. "Peter...now is not the time for you to doubt yourself. You had-once again-proven to me that you are capable of being a hero-maybe more so than I. If anyone deserves the suit, it's you. Not your friend, Ned or me or that girl, Michelle but you."

Peter stared at him with a stunned look. "How did you-"

"How did I know that Ned knew your identity?" Tony chuckled. "I have my ways...though I can't say that I'm happy with the idea of your friend knowing who you are."

"He hasn't told anyone."

"No, I suppose he didn't and for that I guess we could be grateful."

Peter smiled faintly.

"Alright… now get out of here."

Michelle sighed as she wrapped her hand with yet another gauge. This healing process was a pain in the butt and she hoped that it would be healed soon. She had been receiving phone calls and text messages nonstop from her friends; all of them asking if she's alright which she responded with a 'yes.'

Guess they all saw the news.

As Michelle made her way towards the door, all of a sudden, a noise came that sounded like something had landed on the ground. Startled, Michelle turned around only to see a shadowy figure.

"Who are you?" she asked, eyes narrowed.

"You don't recognize me as your 'friendly neighbored Spider Man?' I'm hurt."

Michelle rolled her eyes as the figure came into the view which indeed revealed Spider Man.

"Well, last I checked, you were called as the 'Wingless Spider'," Michelle smirked.

Spider Man scowled behind the mask. "Yeah well this Spidey got a new upgrade."

"Uh huh."

There was silence that settled in which made it awkward for the two though Michelle took this opportunity to actually study the masked vigilante. In all honesty, he looked a bit like Peter which troubled Michelle.

"You know…you look similar like my friend, Peter," Michelle spoke at last though that made Spider Man tense a little.

"I guess I have that kind of thing."

Michelle gave a small faint smile before she turned around. "Anyways, I've got to go…"

Spider Man bit his lip as there was a nagging feeling in his body. If he doesn't do it, then it would haunt him and there may be no other chances to do it. Acting instinctively, Spider Man shot out webs which got latched onto the doorknob.

Michelle blinked with surprise from the sudden move.

"Uh, sorry…impulse…heh…"

"Right…now…any chance you can take it off? I really need to get go—"

"Wait…I—I want to tell you something," Spider Man replied. He saw the way how Michelle was giving him a curious look which made him be nervous and was wondering if he was doing the right thing.

Probably not.

Taking a breath, Spider Man reached for his mask but when he took it off, it made Michelle's jaw drop with shock and disbelief. Seeing the look, Peter began.

"I'm Peter Parker," he announced. "And I am Spider Man."

Author's Note: And that, my friends, is a solid ending…well for me it is anyway XD so anyways, something to explain, I've read on the internet that Zendaya (who is right now going to play Michelle) will be eventually play as Mary Jane—although it is not confirmed, at least I think it's not so I thought it would be cute for Michelle to actually finally reveal her real name—which I promise, in due time, I would reveal a backstory as to why Michelle covered up her real name…but anyways, thank you for so much support; I really appreciate! Until then, see you soon!
