Peter is doing his normal patrol around the neighborhood while on his lunch break from his day job, Mercury labs, when he hears a report coming in.
"Backup requested for the northwest Central City bank. Robbery in progress." The radio tells him, and Peter makes his way towards the crime.
"I have a feeling I know who's behind this one." Peter states to himself, this being the second robbery of the week he wouldn't be able to stop. The Mardon brothers.
Peter comes swinging in fast enough to see a car driving off with the money they just stole.
"Ugh, not this time!" Peter states as he starts swinging after the car as it starts going faster as the web head approaches, but that was nothing to Spider-Man.
Just then he gets a phone call.
"Peter, you busy?" Johnny Storm, Peter's friend for years asks
"Kinda am, Johnny." Peter stated as he swings ahead of the car and tries stopping it when the brothers start shooting at him, so he leaps to avoid them only to be run over by their car.
"Looks like he's finally another stepped on bug!" Peter heard one of the brothers say as he's stuck underneath the car.
"Leave the quips to me." Peter mumbles to himself as he webs onto a post and the undercarriage of the car. "What's up, man?"
"It's something that I really need to talk to you in person about. Can we meet up later?" Johnny asked as Peter leaped onto the hood of their car.
"Hey, miss me?" Peter asked the brothers who both began shooting through the windshield, but Peter just flinched and dodged all of the bullets before reaching into the hood of the car and ripping out the engine, causing their car to start crashing. "Yeah, we can meet up in a minute. I'm just about finished here!"
Peter then leaped off of the car and shot a web net to catch the out of speed vehicle. "Great. Mind meeting at Jitters?"
Peter reached out and grabbed onto the light post and swung around on it before landing on top of it and crouched as the officers came and arrested the two. "Sure, I'll be there in a few."
"Meet you there. I'm just there now. Want me to order you something?" Johnny asked.
"Sure." Peter guessed and swung off to let the police do their job.
Later on, Johnny was waiting for Peter and looking at his phone with a photo of his sister. Johnny has short blond hair and blue eyes; he sometimes covers his face with sunglasses. His body was built as well as Peter's as he wasn't exactly a fitness-buff, but he liked to keep himself fit "For the ladies".
Johnny was looking down when Peter came in, buttoning his shirt to cover his suit and noticed his friend's sour face. Peter and Johnny have been friends for years and knew his fiend never showed his true feelings, but Peter could always tell when his friend was upset about something.
"Johnny, what's up?" Peter asked as he walked up and sat down across from his friend. "You sounded agitated on the phone."
"Uh...it's my sister." Johnny confesses, surprising Peter as he doesn't talk about her too much. But that's mostly due to the fact she's married to some billionaire and is actually more successful than her brother in New York.
"Oh, what about her?" Peter asked.
Johnny took out a file and slid it over to Peter who noticed it was a Domestic Violence file. "Take a look."
Peter looked confused as he opened the file and saw bruises against a woman's cheek, followed by several pictures of all down the same woman's arm.
"Oh my god." Peter said in horror of what he's seeing.
"Yeah, turns out marrying a billionaire isn't as glamorous as movies made it out to be. Unless it's Fifty Shades of Grey we're talking about."
"I still can't believe that you actually went to see that." Peter quipped to his friend.
"Hey, dude, you were there, too!" Johnny reminded him.
"No, I wasn't." Peter stated as he kept looking at the photos of all the injuries, and even saw that some of them were already fading away. This billionaire didn't want to leave marks that would last on her.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you were." Johnny retaliated.
"If you're talking about that guy that you threw up on in the theater because you got too drunk, yeah, that wasn't me." Peter informed him when he reached the back of the file and saw two children who looked very confused and scared.
One of them was an elder boy and next was a photo of what looked to be a baby that was at least a year old. The boy was wearing a white t-shirt, and jeans. The baby, well, being a baby, wasn't really wearing much but he could see she looked like a spitting image of her mother.
"Was that not you?" Johnny asked, feeling like his whole life was just turned upside down.
"Johnny." Peter interrupted, wanting to get back to his sister. "Your sister?"
"Oh, right, she didn't tell anyone about it in fear of her children's safety, but then she went out with her friend, Jennifer Walters, and she noticed the bruises. Filed it for her, and now she's trying to get out of the city, so I offered her my place to stay with the kids."
"Your tiny place?" Peter asked in shock. "Dude, you can barely fit yourself in there. Forget two kids and your sister."
"Yeah..." Johnny sighed as he also saw that and gave Peter a shy smile. "That comes down to the reason I called..."
Peter looked confused before smacking himself, immediately seeing what he wants. "You want to see if I can help you take them in."
"Your place is bigger; you live in a two story building." Johnny reminded him.
"Yeah, and you know what I use most of those rooms for." Peter stated.
"Nothing?" Johnny asked with a shrug. "Your basement is where you keep most of your gadgets, and you keep all your suits in your closet. You've got several bedrooms as spare bedrooms."
Peter rolled his eyes and rubbed his head. "You really want me to take in your sister?"
"It won't be forever, man. But she needs to get out of the city before this guy learns where she's going." Johnny stated. "His lawyers have kept him from going to prison, and she thinks that he's been spying on her to track her down. And she's got this friend, Ben Grimm, who's helping. He'll be staying with me."
Peter placed his head in his hand as he leaned against it, thinking it over for a minute before sighing. "Okay, fine, I'll help you out."
"Thank you, Peter." Johnny sighed in relief when the news became louder to them.
"...The police had to break up a fight between a group of protesters for the particle accelerator, which is scheduled to turn on tomorrow..."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Johnny said as he saw Peter was glued to the screen. "You however, I think you've been wanting for this day your whole life."
"You sure you don't wanna be there for the turning on?" Peter asked Johnny.
"Nah, you and Ronnie are the geniuses, I'm not much into it. You guys enjoy yourselves. I'll probably just hang out with my sister." Johnny said as he leaned in his seat.
"Suit yourself." Peter supposed. "When does your sister get here?"
"Actually, I need to get going to pick her up now. Wanna meet at your house?" Johnny asked as he got up.
"Yeah, sure." Peter supposes with a sigh.
Peter made it to his home and fixed it all up for his guests as best as he could for them. Cleaned up the guest bedroom, the whole house, just about anything he could. He never really met Susan, so he just wanted to make a good first impression.
Being friends with her brother might just not be the best impression. And he has no idea what he's told Susan about him, and he just wanted to make sure he was on his good side.
Peter sighed as he sensed something just as the doorbell rang. "Time to meet the daredevil's family." He made it down the stairs and quickly answered it to see Johnny and...okay, he wasn't expecting this.
Susan Storm is in the height of an average woman with blue eyes and blonde medium length hairstyle with half of the hair brought to the front at the shoulders and the other half stays at the back and her hair is combed from right to left.
"Uh...hi." Peter smacked himself free from his shock and noticed a truck of things and two children, one looking to be seven and the other around two. "I'm-"
"Peter Parker." Susan greeted as she shook Peter's hand. "My brother talks all about you."
"Oh, I'm hoping all good things." Peter said as he looked towards Johnny who offered a shrug and a smile.
"He talks about you like some sorta guidance counselor." Susan admitted. "And honestly, I can't thank you enough with keeping my brother out of trouble. I was worried he would just become this gigantic idiot when he moved out here by himself."
"Well, he gets me and our friend into more trouble than we get him out of." Peter joked as he chuckled at his own joke as was Susan.
"Yeah, you should've seen him while we were growing up. Always found creative and new ways to get us into trouble." Susan stated as she smacked her brother.
"You missed being able to do that, haven't you?" Johnny asked as he rubbed his shoulder.
Peter laughed and allowed Peter inside. "Johnny, why don't you take your sister's things to my room, we'll empty out the car and get the kids inside." Peter tells his friend who grabs his sister's suitcase and headed inside.
"Let me guess, Johnny dropped me on you at the last second?" Susan took a wild guess as she and Peter strolled to the car.
"Kinda, but I'm happy to let you and your kids stay with me." Peter promises. "It's a big house, I usually have your brother over, so nothing'll change. I'm used to loud childish noises."
Sue laughed at hearing that as they reached the car and saw the boy was looking anywhere but at Peter and his Mom. "Franklin, this is Peter. The nice man that we're going to be staying with."
Franklin doesn't say or do anything and just kept looking at his feet.
Peter could see he might be having a hard time with everything and knew something that'll cheer him up. "Hey, Franklin, you like videogames?"
Franklin looked up to Peter with a sad look. "Yes."
"I've got a lot of games in my Livingroom, all yours to take a crack at." Peter offered to him and that seemed to bring a smile to Franklin's face as he got out of the car and Johnny was on his way out. "Hey, Johnny, set this kid up on our consoles."
"Sure." Johnny said as he lead the kid inside.
"In other related news, despite the protests, Dr. Wells has confirmed that the Accelerator will be tuning on as planned." The radio went off as Peter and Sue were unloading the car.
"Oh, forgot about that." Sue commented as she pulled a few boxes out and closed the trunk as Peter carried a dozen boxes. "Reed always talked about that thing turning on. Saw it as a threat to his company." She sighed as she rubbed a bruise on her shoulder.
Peter could see Reed was a sensitive subject and made sure to avoid talking about it. "You wanna go see it turn on?" He offered to her. "Me and Johnny have a few friends that work there. We could get you a plus one to go?"
"I'd love to, but I've got these two to look after." Sue said as she grabbed the baby carrier with Valeria sleeping in it.
"Well, if you want to later on, I know a few people who would happily look after them for a night." Peter offered to her.
"Thanks, Peter. For all of this." Sue thanked him with a smile as they headed inside.
"No problem." Peter promised as they headed inside.
What neither noticed, they were being watched by a strange car with a man inside taking a picture.
"We've found her, sir." The man reported in.
"Good. Keep an eye on her." Reed Richards demanded. "I'll be there soon."
He then hanged up and made his way into a personal jet that Susan doesn't know about and made his way off towards STAR Labs.
