It was late afternoon on Friday Peter was out as Spider-Man dealing with a robbery being made by a man in a dark green and orange suit that was throwing out ring like projectiles from his suit. "Seriously the Ringer? is that the name you are going with and who told you to use orange and green for your colour scheme? You know I may go out in red and blue but if you are a criminal going to act in a robbery, then probably not make yourself stick out! I am so done now with these lame villains with these stupid gimmicks!" Peter quipped as he got a young brown haired woman out of the way.

"You think you are done? I came here from Texas and now I'm a nanny for 3 rich kids who took a chance on the new girl in town and I have to deal with one of them trying to hit on me, a lazy butler and making sure that Mrs Kipling stays as far away from my best shoes!" groaned the girl as Peter got her out of the way.

"You sound like your life could be a kid's sitcom!" Peter joked to the girl before focusing on the silly looking villain and the girl then ran to safety.

Peter then jumped and knocked out the Ringer and webbed him up to toss to the arriving police before managing to make his escape. He found his hiding spot with his backpack and changed into his civilian clothes.

He then ran to the restaurant where he agreed to meet up with Liz for a date; there was Liz waiting there in her jacket who noticed him. "Glad you came up; I guess you got held up?" Liz asked pleased to see him as she took his hand and he nodded. They then went in and enjoyed their date as they made their orders and their food arrived.

"So has your aunt forgiven you yet? You found any hidden recording devices or books for if her teenage ward gets a girl pregnant?" Liz joked and Peter shook his head as May wasn't quite extreme in her reaction.

"She got over me not telling her straight away but I still have a curfew and wants to know details on future late parties and stuff like that..." Peter replied as the bill came and Peter looked at it wondering how many part time jobs it would take to cover his half.

"Don't worry Peter; it's on me as it was my idea to come here and more well off parents." Liz assured him as she got out her wallet and Peter sighed about needing his new girlfriend to foot the bill for their dates.


In Brooklyn at the Mason Repair shop; the owner and proprietor Phineas Mason was an elderly bald headed white haired man with glasses who was looking at the back room. there was his granddaughter who he was looking after at the moment with her parents out of town Phin (amusing way to have her still named after him); an African American girl with glasses and her haired tied back with a band.

She was spending time with her best friend Miles Morales in the room where Mason could keep an eye on them when he was not tending to customers.

"Can you imagine being able to study Colonel Jupiter's suit? What it must take to hold his Jupiter based powers? What kind of electronics and circuits that it must use, plus the power sources?" Phin asked Miles as she started going into her theories.

"Settle down Phin; you know that I don't science like you do!" Miles groaned not really understanding when Phin goes over what she finds in science journals and online.

Mason smiled amused by Miles using science as a verb like that plus Phin interested in science and wanting to be an inventor when she grew up; just like he had been. When she was old enough, he planned to show her how to use the 3D printing machine that he had to get to have a heard start in creating her own designs.

Mason saw some familiar men in suits and went to the door where Miles and Phin were and said with as much a smile as he could muster "sorry but I have a private customer over so for at least ten minutes; can I trust you to stay in here?"

"sure thing Grandpa." Phin replied seeing nothing unusual along with Miles since it seemed like a simple enough request for their young minds. Mason smiled at them as he then went to the front door of the store and turned the sign so that it read that it was now closed.

"What do you want? I have my granddaughter and her friend over so this isn't an appropriate time!" Mason demanded as the men shook their heads.

"Considering how much money you owe myself and Mr Fiers by extension, there isn't an inappropriate time." replied one of the men and Mason cursed how foolish he was in choosing this loan shark to make a deal with to fix up things at the shop; turns out he worked for a dangerous crime lord. "Mr Fiers is making an alliance with the Hammerhead family that is sure to bring their Maggia allies in as fellow allies. Mr Fiers wants you to turn his men into more supervillains!" the man continued on as Mason looked annoyed.

"Already after I set up that goon to become that Ringer? How much more does he want? You know what... I am through... I will find some other way to pay off the loan... It's not worth it anymore..." Mason said but the man smirked.

"We did some digging; your son Rick... You must be proud to think that your child became a secret agent for hire of sorts... Funny considering his old man is stuck running this cheap shop?" the man interrupted and Mason glared at him for bringing up his son. "I can imagine that he must have made some dangerous enemies; would be a shame if they got wind where their families live... Where his wife and daughter lives?" the man grinned and Mason stopped in horror at the subtle threat at his family.

Mason then glared at them but looked like he would comply to their glee.


That night Peter was out as Spider-Man after some catching up with Debra and Grady at their favourite comic book store; they refused to stop grinning like crazy upon finding out that he was now dating Liz and he was sure that they wouldn't let him hear the end of it for some time.

He had gone out as Spider-Man and unknown to him on top of a building looking through binoculars was Aaron who spotted him and was waving to Peter as he managed to notice him. Peter's eyes widened as he saw him jump off the roof. He swung down to grab him and take him back to the rooftop.

"Thanks; I needed to make sure that you would come here as I need your help..." Aaron said after catching his breath and Peter was speechless that he would jump off a building to get his attention, it must be big. "You see I have some friends and they told me that tonight... The Hammerhead crime family are meeting tonight with men that works for this crime lord known as the Gentleman." Aaron told him and Peter thought that it sounded familiar but his eyes widened.

"Oh yeah; I fought Tombstone who worked for them..." Peter replied remembering his now mentor Daredevil bringing them up.

"You know that Ringer guy you fought? Well Gentleman is having Phineas Mason create him and more villains to fight you; keep you distracted from the other crime out there. Gentleman is going to have Mason turn Hammerhead's men into more villains." Aaron said and Peter blinked as he was just taking these bad guys just appearing for granted.

"I was told by my teacher that dealing with Hammerhead needs to be dealt with in caution; that his crime family is dangerous..." Peter muttered and Aaron looked pleading.

"Look; I am begging you here... Mason's tech is dangerous and the more bad people with that tech and the more it endangers my family... You see I have a brother and a nephew who lives in Brooklyn... My brother, he doesn't want anything to do with me but I care for him and my nephew whose really young... My brother is a cop and I know he is too stubborn to be talked down from dealing with the new wave of super criminals that this will bring... I have the name of the place and time..." Aaron said looking quite serious and Peter couldn't turn this down; the less dangerous villains being created means that the more innocent people in New York will not be endangered.

"Anything you could tell me about this Mason?" Peter asked as he nodded and Aaron gave a slip to him.

"Spent a long time working at this company called Advanced Idea Mechanics; really shady and he got fired for insider trading. No evidence for charges but he had to go to work setting up this repair shop." Aaron explained as Peter then waved to him as he web slinged away. Peter didn't notice the serious look on his face.


Peter had went to the warehouse to give Aaron the benefit of the doubt and check out this tip but he would not be pleased if this was just a waste of time. He sneaked through the window and managed to find a room where there were people in suits gathered in a lab.

Peter looked down and noticed Hammerhead from the files that Daredevil had shown him; so it was a case. There was a large muscular man in a dark red full bodysuit with bits of silver armor. "I think you will find this most beneficial Mr Hammerhead; The Maggia families of New York and the Gentleman all united! I promise you that with this suit, Ox will more than live up to his namesake!" grinned someone and Peter saw that there was Mason working on a lab table with some advanced looking weapons on the table.

"Come on? Not even horns; you know at least Leap-Frog and White Rabbit had their suits match their gimmicks!" Peter quipped as he jumped down to start webbing men and Hammerhead angrily got his men to start grabbing the weapons.

Peter had to use his Spider-Sense to dodge the blasts; "Montana! Catch him!" Hammerhead shouted as one of men with a Texan hat grabbed some sort of high tech lasso and used it to catch Peter and he could feel the zap. Hammerhead then headbutted Peter hard with him groaning in pain from the impact; "Carbon steel plated!" Hammerhead grinned as he picked up Peter by the collar but then one of his men looked urgent.

"Mr Hammerhead; the lookout said the buzz is coming!" he shouted and the man panicked and Hammerhead demanded to some more confused and nervous men asking if this was just a set up. The lasso go loose enough for Peter to force his escaped and kneed Hammerhead in the gut.

The criminals started focusing on shooting the officers to try and escape and Peter was taking advantage of the chaos to start disarming the criminals. However Ox then charged at Peter and held him with a bearhug thanks to the strength that the suit gave him.

However suddenly came charging in was John who started leaping and easily taking down the criminals and taking the impact of the high tech weapons. He easily ripped apart the lasso that Montana tried to entangle him with and took down Hammerhead and easily tackled Ox.

Peter decided to take advantage of this and escaped before the officers noticed that he was escaping. Peter got to the top of a building to rest and allow his healing factor to work and looked at the state of his suit and he had yet to repair it from the fight with Kraven. He decided to call Daredevil and said "Teacher... Please don't be too mad but... I got a tip of a meeting between the crime groups of Hammerhead and the Gentleman that involved advanced weapons out of a sci-fi movie... Things got out of hand but I escaped and Colonel Jupiter took care of it..."

There was a sigh from the other end as Daredevil asked "How exactly have you managed to stay alive after putting on that mask?"

"I will tell you when I figure that out myself sir..." Peter replied with a groan.


That Sunday morning Peter was with Grady and Debra looking at the phones and hearing Mayor Jameson's latest statement. "A meeting between crime lords peddling dangerous stuff to escalate their methods after Spider-Man came onto our streets! Off course with that menace involved; things escalated and it was thanks to my son and your hero Colonel Jupiter and the fine officers of the NYPD that things were shut down and the criminals arrested! I implore all of you in the greatest city in the world to see reason about supporting Spider-Man and if you have any information that coudl lead to the whereabouts and arrest of this miscreant, please contact the NYPD!"

"You know that Mason guy who was involved? I read that his shop was now shut down by the police to investigate and I have neighbours who were waiting on their electronics to be finished there!" Debra said as Peter sighed looking at the screen and deep in thought.

He needed John's help to deal with Kraven and last night was a bust; he may have been killed if John wasn't there to clean up his mess. Perhaps he should consider just leaving it to the professional if he has this whole superhero thing covered?

"So; any thoughts on where to take Liz next?" Grady asked with a smirk upon realising that Peter would like this subject to change. Peter just laughed as he will think about that.


Aaron had sighed as he passed the police blockade in front of the Mason Repair store; no doubt Phin and her parents won't be taking this well and what would Miles think? He believed that Phin's mother would be cutting her business trip short to come home and be there for her daughter; plus with Phin's father Rick probably on a mission... He most likely wouldn't hear about his father's arrest for a while.

Still he went to his underway lair and fired up a video call with the other line coming straight from a private cell at Ryker's; a large muscular bald headed inmate. "I got Spider-Man to mess the whole thing up and the police followed that anonymous tip. Hammerhead was keeping the Maggia families together but with him behind bars along with whatever Maggia leaders were there, they are sure to go back to in fighting! Plus Gentleman lost his chance at an alliance and his tinkerer, less chance at creating supervillains he could control." Aaron told the people on the other line who grinned.

"Excellent, soon it won't take long for these freaks to rum rampant in the streets and once their so called superheroes are disgraced; they will realise how much they took for granted the safety and order that I brought to this city! They well welcome me with open arms once I come to fix things to how they should be!" the man told him with his hands together. "Prowler; I don't doubt those from my old organisation won't flock back to me from their old masters but I am glad that I could count on you despite your list of clients." the man told Aaron who grinned.

"You are still the best boss I ever had; I was there when you first took the throne and I will be here when you get out to claim your throne again Mr Fisk. Long live the Kingpin!" Aaron told the man known as New York's former Kingpin of crime Wilson Fisk.

Yeah I decided to throw in a cameo from the title protagonist of the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie as a homage to the fact that the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon (a huge guilty pleasure even if I believe it would be hard to revisit for me thanks to the star who voiced Spidey there) in the most baffling decision that the show ever made (no small accomplishment) had a Halloween episode which crossovered with the cast of Jessie. You know I did joke about when the news hit that Disney had bought Marvel that shoudl we expect a Hulk show on Disney Channel but I could never predict this.

Decided to make the Tinkerer the grandfather of Phin from the Miles Morales game which I did enjoy. Not making Miles interested in science there as a problem with how he was in the Marvel's Spider-Man cartoon was making him another science geek while Miles always seemed a more normal average kid compared to Peter though smart in his own way. I accepted it better in the PS4 Spidey game as making a hacking app is not that extreme and I like Into the Spider-Verse showing Miles different from Peter with his own interests like art and music.

Plus before you ask why Peter didn't recognise Aaron? Well it was the night and he only saw him once before at the basketball court.
