Manhattan, New York and high above on top of a building sat Peter Parker in his latest Spider-Man suit while on his phone. He looked sadly at the social media post of his 'ex'-girlfriend Michelle 'MJ' Jones-Watson which had different pictures of her and Peter's best friend Ned Leeds. They looked so happy as it showed them at their fancy college campus and the caption:

BEST FRIENDS IN BOSTON
FIRST WEEK AT MIT; AMAZING! SPECTACULAR!

"This is for the best... They barely know you now and don't remember most of everything we have been through... Hardly anyone does... It's for the best... Just me all alone..." Peter said to himself sadly as he put his phone away and perched at the edge of the building he looked down. An abandoned lab building with the broken lights sign saying 'TECHTRONICS LABS'. "Techtronics... Back where it all started..."Peter muttered.

MOVIE LOGOS ARE SHOWN

OST: How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty

Much years ago an excited turned 15 year old Peter Parker was running through the active halls of Techtronics as there were displays and signs up for an open day. "Peter... Watch yourself... I am not so young anymore and I still remember the last time we got seperated when we took you to a special science event thingy..." an older man said along with his wife May Parker as they were smiling down at the teenager.

"At least we don't have to worry about robots coming alive and attacking this place Ben... I sure hope not at least..." May laughed to Ben as Peter looked excited at the displays as onne display was showing off a prototype sonic blast device behind a saftey line inside a glass cage against some targets set up.

"Sorry Uncle Ben... Aunt May... But the website said that there are a lot of promising research being studied at this place that we can get a glimpse of... A Dr Schwinner is said to be working on a device that can rewrite genetics to cure diseases and conditions..." Peter said and at one of the displays which was showing a demonstration of the 'genetic recombulator'; a spider had been in the safety glass and was inside the device as it powered up making it malfunction.

The spider managed to crawl right under the glass as staff came to check on it while Peter and his aunt and uncle were walking closer to the display while Ben was saying "all that I am saying Pete is that messing with someone's genetics... Sounds like the plot of a few horror movies I have seen; some really bad ones..."

Peter didn't notice as the spider came up onto hand and bit him...

Peter woke up the next in his bedroom in the apartment feeling a bit tired but ended up getting his hand to the wall and managing to get it stick and he managed to crawl it up to his shock and surprise.

Peter began experimenting with how fast he could walk through the busy crowds of New York but found his senses overloading him a bit as so he ended up running into an alley way and then noticing a dumpster he managed to jump right over it. He decided to look inside to see what junk he could scavenge while also trying his hand to lift the dumpster up; which he could to his pleasant surprise.

Peter was smirking to himself as he was in his room watching video compilations of the Avengers on his phone while putting together a suit out of red and blue clothes he had gotten along with goggles; a fixed up knitting machine was being used to stitch a spider logo on the hooded jumper while a makeshift lab had him pulling parts together for gadgets as well as creating his own 'webbing'.

Peter in his new homemade suit was on top of a building wearing his web shooters and gulped as he took a step back and then a leap of faith as he let out his webs to web sling; cheering as he pulled it off.

Peter at night was out web slinging and came across a grocery store being robbed by a masked man with a guns who had rushed in. Peter gulped as he jumped down and looked at them holding guns while through the window. He then ran away fearfully; "Okay... I can't do this... You are in a scavenged suit and he has a gun..." Peter thought as he was ready to leave. "This can be someone else's problem... I will do more when I am ready..." Peter muttered as he web slinged up but looked down and noticed the robber running out with his loot as there was a man from behind trying to tackle him down.

"Don't be a hero..." ranted the robber and Peter's eyes widened as he recognised the man as the robber let out a shot...

Peter and May were embracing eachother silently with tears as a news report showed the story and how the robber was found by the police in a web mysteriously; facing murder charges as well as robbery along with the crimes that the man Dennis Carradine was already wanted for.

Shots of Tony Stark in Peter's room showing him the Spider-Man clip hologram, Peter stealing Captain America's shield at the airport, trying to keep the ferry together with his webs, helping to try and keep the Infinity Gauntlet away from Thanos' forces during the big battle at Avengers Compound, him using his 'Peter Tingle' to see through the illusions of Mysterio in London and finally him trying to impale the Green Goblin with his own glider.

SPIDER-MAN: REBORN

Peter was going through the vents and looking down as he crawled to notice masked criminals scoping out the area; "A lot of these toys just lying about; looks like they haven't been touched in years... You would have thought that they would be set with junk like this? Stark could have been given a run for his money if these were put on the market." stated one of the criminals putting some devices into a sack.

"They were all set for but the owners; they were Blipped... Place was abandoned for 5 years and the owners were left with heavy bills and they ended up selling after all these time. These stuff are meant to be shipped away as they are looking for buyers." explained another one.

"Bet Stark's company will want to buy to use this stuff to get back on their feet after the EDITH scandal; Stark himself would probably take most of the credit and find some sort of stupid acronym to call them." said a figure in a large overcoat with a large hat over his head.

"Will whoever wants to buy; too bad that they are in for disappointment since we got here first!" laughed another criminal tauntingly but Peter opened up the vent and shot out a web to web the criminal to the wall before she could take something.

Peter then shot down and began webbing up criminals as they came to him; then some got out some high tech looking guns and began firing at him; "Thank you Spider-Sense and so glad that I came up with a better name..." Peter muttered to himself.. He began dodging after taking in his shock and had a look of realisation upon seeing the weapons as familiar.

"Are you sure you want to rob this place as you look like you are all set in the tech department? Say did you get your weapons from the Vulture before he got sent away by your's truly?" Peter asked but the man in the oversized coat then ripped off his coat to reveal that he was wearing a dark green and black bodysuit with a dark green helmet with an orange visor.

On his back was a high tech backpack connected to an high tech tail with a blaster at the end and a blade. "Whoah... Like Doctor Octavius but with less limbs..." Peter muttered as he had to dodge blasts coming from the blaster at the end of the tail and then the tail swooped him aside.

Peter yelled as he had been flung to the wall and the blade of the tail was then used to scratch his back with him feeling it hard. Peter then yelled in pain as the man then had his tail around him with a squeeze with the criminals having their weapons on him to shoot on site.

"Toomes went to the same prison as me; you know I had plans in my head to have my friends band together to crush you bug. Our own team of Avengers but with less than legal intentions; was hoping that Toomes could join us but he disappeared one day from his cell and no one can get a hold of you. Somehow he must have managed to escape but some of the guys think he might have late Blipped or something. But that doesn't happen; we meet again Spider-Man!" the man taunted as Peter looked his way confused and no one was paying attention to seeing a figure sneak down from ceiling and go to a computer.

Peter looked at the guy in the suit oddly as he couldn't see his face and he didn't sound familiar; "So... Were you the Shocker? Or did you steal a bicycle at some point?" Peter asked as the man was silent.

"Remember... On the ferry? You caught me... Mac Gargan; your criminal nemesis..." the man asked incredulously as Peter shook his head.

"Sorry; doesn't ring a bell; might have forgotten about you by the time the place was in half coming together..." Peter said and Gargan then furiously then punched him hard in the face. "I've been hit worse..." Peter snarked back as Gargan was furious.

"All these years; I have been plotting revenge... I spent those 5 years while you were dust; cursing that purple skinned freak for taking you away from me before I could get to you but now I am here... The Scorpion; that's what I called myself when I joined my first gang and it has brought to me... People will fear me..." Gargan taunted Peter as the the figure at the computer then put away a drive as she then took out a whip and then began attacking the armed criminals.

The figure it turned out to be a young woman with white hair in a ponytail; a large black eyemask with white lenses, a black cat necklace and a black bodysuit with with white lines. They then began firing at her as the woman then smirked as she then with acrobatic moves began dodging their blasts with them missing.

She then got near them and the criminals were confused as their guns began failing on them allow her to knock them out. Gargan was distracted enough for Peter to get free and Gargan then angrily then aiming his tail at Peter which he dodged. The woman then noticed and smirked as she came closer and got her clawed gloves on Gargan's backpack as it began malfunctioning. Peter was then able to rip the tail off with his strange and dodged attempts by Gargan to punch him and a strong kick to the gut was enough for Gargan to be disoriented as Peter then punched at his helmet and knocked im out.

Peter then noticed the woman taking a handful of sacks from the knocked out criminals and Peter then followed her out of a hole she cut out of the window with his webs as he began following her as she used her whip to sling herself to a wall and climb right up.

"Where are you going with that stuff Ms Thief?" Peter asked as the woman then gave her a sly smile as she looked behind him and then smirked.

"Taking it off course Spider-Man; how valuable this tech is and the stuff on the servers... Plus you are most welcome for my help back there." the woman said in a seductive French accent as Peter kept up the chase; bit put off by how pretty this criminal was and the accent. He had to remind himself to be on task.

"Oh I would have been able to get him myself..." Peter said confidently thinking about how when Gargan wasn't able to use his tail; he went down bad.

"I don't doubt it myself; I'm such a huge fan Spider-Man and it's an absolute pleasure." the woman told Peter as she went and jumped a huge gap to the next building and Peter made a jump and got close to her back. but ended up falling down to an open dumpster as he then groaned at his bad luck.

He got up to see the woman smirking down at him and said "you can call me Black Cat and be wary next time that you want to be crossing your paths. However I do hope that you do..." She then blew him a kiss as she made her escape.

Back at Techtronics the masked criminals began getting up; Gargan was silently raging to himself as he got himself up and found his destroyed helmet. Not noticing a black ooze crawling out of the vents and then into the destroyed remains of his backpack. He then began yelling in pain. However upon hearing police sirens, he then forcef himself to push aside the pain as he then yelled to the other criminals "You hear that? Move; to the truck! We can get there and make a break for it if we run; I am not spend another moment behinds bars!"

Peter groaned as he got up in the morning in the bed off his apartment; Looking to the fixed up sewing machine that he used to repair the back off his suit. He then got the suit to put into a backpack and then picked up his phone and his eyes widened as he looked at the time.

He quickly got dressed and then rushed to the door and pushed aside the rent due letters on the doorstep as he then ran out of the apartment and onto the busy streets of New York.

On the big screens on the buildings there was J. Jonah Jameson presenting his sensationalist news network the Daily Bugle; "Troubling story last night as there were armed and dangerous masked freaks broke into Techtronics Labs; a closing down labatory that was up to some advanced science. Spider-Man off course made his masked presence known and went battle with some other clown dressed as a black and green Scorpion... While this was going on some other thief in a mask broke in and made off with their sack of loot and Spider-Man; followed; the police are asking for information on this Scorpion or this mysterious cat burglar as they made their escape. Yet more masked menaces brought forth by the existence of Spider-Man; my loyal viewers watched me as Spider-Man himself came onto my show to admit that he brought forth a gang of sinister crooks to the city and wanted to bring the danger to our own Statue of Liberty! I won't rest until this masked vigilante be made to answer for his actions; indirect or otherwise!" Jameson was snapping as Peter sighed shaking his head.

He remembered how Jameson helped ruin his life and started this whole mess along with Mysterio...

However as he rushed past the annoyed looking passerbys; he made it to his destination: Empire Statue University. No one would compare it to MIT but it was a good college; especially considering that he got in with his GED. He was making his way in with students nearby repulsed by his smell causing him to sigh; he noticed another student by with a copy of Flashpoint the book from his old Midtown classmate Flash Thompson. He was able to look close enough and see that the subtitle was no longer 'MY LIFE AS PETER PARKER'S BEST FRIEND' and it now read 'MY LIFE AS SPIDER-MAN'S BEST FRIEND'.

"How did Thompson get this book to be a bestseller when it's just him taking credit for coming up with Spider-Man and there's hardly any evidence in here that they ever knew eachother? Any idiot could write a book and say like that they are best friends with that hooded guy in white or how about the martial arts bus guy in San Francisco?" one of the friends of the guy was telling him as Peter shook his head.

"You never know; they could have known eachother... I heard that Spider-Man stole his car to chase at his Homecoming dance to chase after the Vulture..." Peter said going into the conversation and eyes were on him but the people then looked disgusted as they covered their noses to his humiliation.

"Parker... You reek... Did you spend the night in a dumpster?" asked one of the students as Peter sighed. One of the students with white hair and fancy clothes looked at him suspiciously; Peter looked at her and noticed her black cat necklace.

"Peter Parker... Isn't it... Have we met before because the way you are looking at me?" asked the student coming up to Peter with a look in a familiar French accent that caught Peter off guard. "Felicia Hardy; you might have heard of me as my mother is a big donor of the campus." the woman introduced herself to Peter taking his hand to shake politely as he looked at her suspiciously.

"Really... Where did the money come from..." Peter asked and Felicia gave him a smirk that made him mentally groan and he kicked himself. "Is that a black cat... Are you unlucky..." Peter asked trying to keep his calm as one of the teachers came up to them looking sternly.

"Mr Parker. Ms Hardy; you are up for my class and Mr Parker... Please shower before coming here if you would please; doesn't help your case after the times that you get to classes late." warned the teacher as Peter looked apologetic to the stern teacher but Felicia looked nonplussed.

"Sorry Dr Stratton..." Peter said apologetically going to the class and then looked behind him. "See you around Ms Hardy..." Peter said quickly as Felicia smirk grew.

She then whispered "see you around... Homme Araignée..."

Felicia being French is inspired by the Spider-Gwen comics and her suit is basically the one from the PS4 game.
