While Spider-man's out dealing with Kraven, we're gonna take a little break and see what's happening with Ava and Luke. Thanks for continuing to read and I hope you all enjoy!

In the depths of midtown high, Ava and Luke began their training while Peter was off searching for Kraven.

"Alright Ava, I figure the best way to do this is to jump right in with some sparring. Right now we all need to be at our best. Peter has a plan, I think, and he needs us to back him up." Luke began briefing Ava.

"I see your point, It's been a long time since I've done anything like this so it looks like we'd better get started. Honestly I'd like to be up to par when Peter comes back with my amulet." Ava agreed with Luke.

"You don't know that he'll find it Ava, or that he can beat Kraven." Luke seemed to be playing devil's advocate, but he had a legitimate point.

"He'll come back, he has to…"

Ava and Luke each took their stances, and Ava jumped at Luke with a flying punch. She'd been out of the game for many years, but some old habits die hard. Luke's impenetrable skin meant that a full on attack on him without Ava's powers would certainly break her bones. Luke made it a point to either dodge or move with each hit. Ava was doing better than expected, she was out of breath but she knew what she was doing. Ava's fighting instincts came back to her without hesitation.

"You're doing really well Ava! This might be easier than I thought!" Luke told her, while dodging a kick to his face.

"Thanks Luke! This isn't so bad, but I've got a lot of work to do yet!" Ava jumped over him and swept his legs, leaving Luke on the ground.

This is good, hopefully her confidence will come up after our training. Ava looked a little depressed earlier, maybe when she gets her powers back we'll have the old White Tiger again.

About two hours passed, and the first day of training was finally over. Ava was tired, she hadn't worked that hard in a long time but she was making progress.

Luke walked over to Ava and handed her a water bottle. "You did good today, but it'll get harder each day until you're ready."

"Thanks Luke, I'm still worried though." Ava took a drink.

"You'll be fine, at this rate there's nothing to worry about."

"It's not that, it's about Peter." Ava's expression sank.

"You're worried he might not come back, aren't you?"

Ava's eyes began to water. "Yes."

"He's the strongest guy I've ever met, he's only 16 and he came to a strange world without any of his friends and it hasn't shaken him. If there's anyone who can do this, it's webs."

"It's been so long since I've seen him, the old him, before he…changed."

Luke just stood there.

"I missed him Luke. I missed him a lot."

"He's back Ava, just be glad about that."

Luke could see Ava was conflicted, this was the Peter she knew and clearly had feelings for, but she knew he wasn't her Peter. This Spider-man had his own friends from his world, his own Ava.

Luke walked back over to his computer, still no luck with getting to Kun-lun. Luke sat there, looking at his screen hoping something good would happen, nothing for now. He decided to come back to it later, no sense rushing this while Peter was still out. After all, they weren't going anywhere without him or Ava's amulet.

Luke left it for now and looked back at Ava, except she wasn't there.

Ava was in her living quarters, the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility was outfitted similarly to the bomb shelter and Ava clearly made that connection.

Ava began sifting through her personal effects, trying to spruce up her room.

"These old things bring back memories." Ava took out a framed photo of herself along with the rest of the team. "Can't say I don't miss those days." Ava then took out another photo, but this one of just her and Peter.

Ava put the photos on her end table and returned to her bag. "I doubt I'll ever wear this again." Ava was looking at her old White Tiger suit. "Even if I get my powers again I think it might be a time for a new look."

Luke peered through the doorway, and he wasn't sure how to feel. On one hand, he felt sorry for her, but he was also happy as those memories came back to him as well. Luke left Ava alone.
