During the school hours of Midtown School of Science and Technology. Betty and Jason began hosting a newsreel of the recent events of Parker's identity being exposed and framed.

'Hello, students of Midtown High; as you know, it's been five months since our fellow student Peter Parker revealed his identity as Spider-Man. The infamous mask vigilantly, who once served as the local superhero of Queens. Along with being the newest and youngest appointed Avenger. Now framed murderer and terrorist.' Betty said as she gave off her report, still nervous about the ordeal.

'Ya, Peter Parker and Spider-Man, geeky kid as a superhero, who would've thought? I mean, with the alien invasions, the blip, the elemental attacks, and now this? It's pretty crazy, ' Jason reported in a more energetic mood. While Betty still tried to keep her composer.

'Especially since he's your freaking classmate, why have you never fingered it out sooner?' Jason asked. With Betty gets annoyed by his question.

'Yes, well, many people say that to me, Jason, and I don't need to be reminded again! But even so, there have been some who doubted Mr. Jameson's claims of Peter being Spider-Man, due to his...rather controversial history' Betty said the word controversial carefully, hoping she sounded as professional as possible all the while showing pictures of John's news articles that showed low review scores from both the public and critics alike.

'However, as more concrete evidence was brought up by ongoing investigations...the claims became all the more apparent,' The blond student explained.

'From the police finding Parker's Iron Spider suit in his apartment while it was charging,' Jason said while playing a clip of officers investigating Peter's room and finding the suit in its steel box case.

'To video evidence of Peter jumping over our high school entrance while out of costume,' Betty added as another video clip played of Parker in civilian clothes jumping over the gate.

'Testimonies from airport security who found his spider suit in his briefcase, 'Jason added as a clip played of the air attendant reporting to the police. 'Which was then recovered from the London attack as evidence ' Another video reel showed the suite being recovered. Revealing that it has been heavily damaged in Spidey's fight against the droids, its circuitry is exposed.

'And lastly being found unmasked and exposed as night monkey while recovering in le.. basket-?a police station in the Netherlands!' Betty tried but gave up trying to pronounce the town's name. At the same time, Jason went wide-eyed at what she had just said.

'Wait, Spider-man is Night Monkey!?' he shouted in shock, while Betty looked at him with a look that said, "Are you serious!?'

'I mean, Yeah, of course, he is Spider-Man...did you-' Jason tried to defend himself as he tried pitifully to cover up his mistake.

'My Ex told me,' his co-worker bluntly interrupted.

'Right, right...So Peter, is he still a mass murderer or...?' Jason began questioning before Betty continued the discussion.

'Due to recent evidence, it turns out that Quint Beck, Mysterio, was a fraud. A former stark employee fired for being too unstable' Betty cringed at the word as it was a massive understatement to what the madman nearly did to her and her classmates.

'And was the one who orchestrated the drone attack on London to make himself look like a hero, fortunately, Peter Parker...Spider-man was able to stop him, and upon providing video evidence and other testimonies from Happy Hogen, Nick Fury, and other shield agents to the court. Parker was eventually founded innocent and allowed to return to Midtown High.' She explained as another news clip showed Peter in the courtroom shaking hands with his lawyer Matt Murdock after the successful trial.

'Wait, what... he is coming back?' Jason asked nervously. At the same time, Betty eyed him in confusion.

'...He's been back a month ago, Jason...'

'Really!? I mean, no offense personally...but maybe he should stay with the Avengers or something? I mean, rather not have some superhero attracting some psychos here and blowing everything up!' Jason cried out in near hysteria.

'The School is secured, Jason, ' Betty responded, but Jason ignored her.

'Sure, maybe, but I would feel a bit more secure if there wasn't some gullible teenager with access to military attack drones through a pair of glasses that he can deploy by FUCK'N VOICE COMMAND! Jason ranted

'JASON!' Betty shouted in vain to keep calming him down.

'I am just saying how it is; you were there, Beth, you know what happened,' Jason snapped back while Betty looked down in disappointment.

'Yes, know, I was there, but Peter was also there to save me and everyone else, so...please try to be a little less judgmental.

'Find, sorry...Parker, Spider-Man, thank...you for saving us,' Jason apologizes but not very serenely.

Betty eyed him a bit before shaking and rolling her eye at her cremate in annoyance and disappointment at his lack of professionalism before looking back at the camera.

'And besides, Parker does not have access to all the features of E.I.D.I.T.H., as the court ruled That the A. I will only allow Parker access unless he gets full permission from Nick Fury or General Ross. So such a case, like Mysterio, does not happen again. With Peter only allowed to use Edith through a wireless connection when on the field.'

'Oh,' Jason replied, slightly embarrassed by his outburst before he grunted in confusion as another thought came up. 'Wait...Why didn't Fury do that before giving Parker those glasses?

Betty looked like she would lecture him again until she realized Jason had a good point. '...I bet a lot of people will be asking that question now,' she answered While Jason shrugged.

'So how did the rest of the school react when they found out we had our local superhero?' Jason asks calmly, getting back to the script. Betty smiled in appreciation, thankful that her crew mate was taking his job more seriously. 'Glad you ask, which will be time to introduce you to our newest crew member Michelle Jones!

Betty announced as M.J. walked next to Betty and Jason in her casual wear. 'What's up, freaks.'

Betty and Jason laugh a bit, knowing she was just being humorous if a bite blunt.

'So Michelle, I heard you joined this newscast to support Parker after his outing. Betty asked

'Well, someone needs to look out for him. After all, even since his ( Michelle raised her index figures to emphasize her point) secret identity was exposed, he...sort of panicked.

'How much...?' Jason asked in a way that even he was concerned.

'...a lot,' Michelle said.

A clip from downtown New York played when Parker his identity was outed on screen. In his hysteria, Showed Spider-Man jumped off the lamppost and grabbed M.J., who began screaming at him to stop.

'...I told him that I never wanted to do that again.' Jones bitterly remarked

Upon seeing the clip, Jason and Betty looked uncomfortable before changing subjects.

'So Ms. Jones, I heard that you interviewed everyone on how they reacted to Parker's identity being exposed,' Betty reported while Jones looked impassive. 'Only the ones that mattered.

'Let's take a look at them, shall we?' Betty announced as another newsreel began to play on M.J. news interviews.

The first of the newsreels was Principal Morita, who had a stern look.

'Now let me make this clear, I do not and will not support the actions of vigilantes on the school ground, and while I do appreciate the help Mr. Parker does in keeping the city safe from criminals and his support of the Avengers. I prefer that he keeps his superhero actions away from this institution if he wants to continue to attend this school. The Principal said in an even tone.

'Does that mean you want him to cut off the Stark drones hovering this school which is pretty much the only thing preventing it from-' M.J. responded before the Morita interrupted her.

'I never said that...one can never have too much security,' he said with an even more still even tone.

The following interview showed Mr. Harrington, who was a bit more emotional.

'You know, this was not the first super I interacted with a superhero. Back in college, I was friends with Bruce Banner, who once offered me pizza and never followed me up. Thou... it does explain why my students and I have been in consent danger... instead not thinking he would have a part in that Jones', he spoke in a tone so seriously that even Michelle felt nervous around him.

'I...Umm...next.'

The news video then cut to another teacher Ms. Warren

'Did you know that Parker had his miniature web lab in my classroom' The woman said while showing that Parker indeed had his web lab under his desk. 'I mean, I knew that kid was smart, but this was mad scientist genius-level smart' You would think he would teach the class himself. I might've even been his student.'

The video then later cut to Brad.

'This makes so much sense, the fact he constantly disappears, him changing into his costume with that blonde woman...my picture being deleted by him-

'So you were taking a picture of him in the bathroom?' Ms. Jones responded sarcastically.

'M.J., please, you know I wanted-'

'Only my friends call me M.J., not Pervs, ' Michelle snorted with a frown before moving off.

'Hey, don't cut me off you-!?' Brad was then imminently cut off from the news feed.

Another one shows a video clip of Flash Thompson.

'You know, I was utterly in denial that Parker was Spider-man, my ideal hero, who was-am his biggest fan, and then he turns out to be the same loser I have been picking on for years...It...makes a man think.'

'What, the fact you pretty much bullied the person you admired for years?' Micheal said in a deadpan tone. Which caused Flash looks at her with a face filled with immense guilt.

'...Yep,' Flash said, his eyes looking down from the camera '...Hey, uhh, you mind if you cut this off?'

'Hmm...nope,' Michelle responded as the camera zooms up to Flash's face, making his guilt even more significant.

The last interview then went to Ned.

'When I first saw Peter Parker as Spider-man...I freaked; I mean, he was up on the ceiling clawing like an actual spider while we were supposed to be building our Lego death star, and at first, I thought it was awesome my best friend was a superhero...thought we would be celebrities if everyone knew' Ned's face then fell as sadness begin to creep over his features.

'Then I realized just how much shit Parker had to endure as a hero. I mean him nearly getting killed by Toomes. Then him getting killed by Thanos and feeling himself dying only to lose Stark right after that and now...this,' Ned explained solemnly as his voice started to hesitate before he regained composer and spoke again.

'Pete has gone through a lot these past years. Far more than anyone else here should, and I think it would be best if we all give a chance.'

'Thank you, Ned, for your time,' Michelle said in a tone that was for once filled with genuine concern and respect.

'You too,' Ned responded, and the clip ended.

'Seems a lot of the reports are genuinely mixed,' Betty responded solemnly while Michael shrugged her shoulders. 'It's to be expected.'

Jason then shifted his stance while he avoided direct eye contact with his latest co-worker. 'So are you two still dating or...' begin to speak, not wanting to trample M.J.'s feelings too much.

'Were...something,' Michelle said, unsure about her whole relationship with Parker. 'I mean, he rarely, if ever, comes to school anymore. What with the media and everything, most of the time, he comes by and visits. He is now taking online classes to finish his courses.

Jason nodded in understanding. 'Explains why I never personally see him despite being welcome back here...'

Jones nodded in agreement '...I don't think he ever felt welcome.'

'Right,' Jason responded, feeling guilty for his earlier outburst.

Betty then decided to change the subject. 'So where is Parker right now?'

Michelle then perked up and responded in kind. 'Oh, he is with the Avengers; ever since his takedown of Mysterio, he has been far more active lately. Fighting terrorists, drug rings, arms dealers, Trying to find the rest of Quentin Becks' crew which seem to disappear off the face of the map...you know...superhero stuff.' she said as casually as possible, but her face and the straining of her voice did little to hide her worry.

Betty then looks at Michael in complete sympathy. 'You miss him, don't you?'

'Yeah...I do...Peter, if you are,' she then laughs. 'No, you better be watching this...please come home safely...tiger.'

Chapter End Notes

Alright, here is my First Chapter of Spider-Man Home Sweet Home. I was inspired by Betty's and Jason's news reels from Spider-man Homecoming and Far From Home. Along with the Spectacular Spider-Man T.V. show. From the episode when Parker had his identity exposed by venom. The interviews are an excellent way to explain exposition without it being forced upon the reader. Please offer any reviews and criticism to help me approve my work. Thank you.
