M.H. Pintner - Yeah, I've seen other people go and do that, I just find it easier to say Peter's doing it. It's how I do most of my stories. I find it slightly annoying and time-consuming on my end to keep referring to him as Spider-Man in a fight. Just a personal preference on my part.


Peter was so happy that he was finally out of the spotlight as Peter Parker. As Spider-Man however, the spotlight is always on him thanks to the Bugle, but he can handle that heat. When it comes to Peter Parker, there are no cameras, no reporters, just Jameson yelling his ears off for photos.

Peter currently got himself dressed nicely and getting ready for his first date. Time started to slow down and freeze again as he started to inner monologue himself.

"So...my first date. Yeah, I know, it's kinda weird. College and this is my first date. A little sad."

Cutting to a small-time that Peter was kissing a woman in a catsuit upside down on top of a building.

"My first girlfriend, if I can even call her that, was the criminal known as the Black Cat. I thought that I could get her to give up a life of crime. But it turns out that she ended up pulling me along as a consultant to her thieving."

Jumping ahead, Peter stood above the city alone, looking around the city.

"But after that relationship, I never really had another girlfriend."

Jumping ahead, Peter is back at the grave of Otto and receiving a kiss from GoGo.

"Which is probably why it was so weird when GoGo revealed that she liked me."


Back with Peter in the current time, he was fixing himself in his mirror (doubling as a door for his closet) before closing the closet door. He made his way downstairs and kept straightening his jacket on his way down.

Downstairs, Teresa and Peni were sitting down and watching the tv while May had the night shift at F.E.A.S.T. Peter made his way over to the two of them and sighed.

"Okay, how do I look?" Peter asked them.

The two of them looked over at him and looked over his outfit. That outfit consisted of a button-up stripe pattern shirt and a jacket with jeans.

"You look fine," Teresa assured her twin.

"So, where are you going?" Peni was curious to know.

"I'm gonna take her to Joe's Diner," Peter answered as he started to make his way to the door. "Not the most elegant place for dinner, but the best I can do. Not like either of us are flooded with cash."

"How long are you gonna be gone?" Peni wonders, looking over to SP, which is what she called the spider that bit her.

"Who are you? Aunt May?" Peter asked her with a laugh. "I'll be back in an hour or two. 10 will be my latest."

"Don't have too much fun out there," Teresa tells him playfully.

"Funny," Peter replied as he made his way out.

As soon as Peter left, Peni looked at the spider as it crawled down her arm, informing Peni this would be a perfect time to look in Peter's room. Three hours of confirmed unintegration, and Teresa was already starting to fade away. She just needed to stay awake and wait long enough for her to fall asleep.


With Peter, he was swinging across the city and made it to the location that GoGo gave to him. He can't believe in the almost year he's known GoGo, he's actually never visited her house. Technically, it was her apartment, but that's the same difference either way.

He made it through the streets to reach her building and had to agree when GoGo said she didn't want them around her place due to the bad neighborhood. The first few steps he's taken through the streets out of his suit, and he already didn't feel safe. That would explain a part of GoGo's tough shell.

Finally reaching the address on his note, he stood there for a few moments, trying to build the courage to knock. When he finally did, it was immediately opened as it seemed GoGo was waiting for him.

GoGo seemed to go all out on the date dressing, as she was wearing an elegant black dress with straps holding onto her shoulders. Sleeveless and the gown reached down to her knees. She also wore heels, something that he never thought he would see her do in his life, and her hair was combed down and was less crazy. Even though Peter preferred it as it was.

"Whoa." Peter didn't know what else he could say except that.

"What? Did I go overboard?" GoGo was curious to know.

"No... you actually make me feel a little underdressed," Peter admitted to her, causing his date to blush.

"Well, you clean up nicely." GoGo complimented back as she blew a bubble before tossing the gum away. "So...we going or are you just gonna stare at me all night?"

"Don't tempt me," Peter warned her, feeling he could stare at her all night.

"Come on. I want to finally get the date that I've been promised for the past few days." GoGo stated as she closed her door and dragged Peter off to dinner.


Back with Peni, Teresa dozed off a short moment ago, giving her the freedom to sneak her way upstairs. She knew she had a limited time until May got back, and she just needed a quick peek. Holding her arm out to keep the spider in eyesight to keep it visible, as she made it across to the door.

She's just never really gone into his room without Peter's permission before. He always warned her that he had experimental equipment around and couldn't allow them to go in without his supervision. But now with the information that this spider is telling her, he's actually Spider-Man.

Growing the courage, she opened the door and saw nothing out of the ordinary for her brother. Except for the weird tab he left open on his computer: 'how to look good on a date.'

"Okay, even I can say that's sad," Peni commented and even SP agreed on that.

Closing the laptop, because she couldn't bear to look at it, Peni made her way over to the closet. She reached and grabbed the handle and yanked the closet open, making sure not to accidentally break it by the speed.

Looking inside the closet, she saw nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, it looked a little disappointing. It had his shirts on hangers, pants folded on one of the shelves, and he had a few shoes that were on the floor of the closet.

"I don't get it," Peni admitted as she looked down at SP. The spider then chattered, pointing one of its legs to the back of the closet, where there's an unmarked cardboard box.

Peni decided to go in and went for the box in the back and dragged it out. She wondered if she should be doing this since it was her brother's personal stuff. But SP jumped on it and started to try and open it itself.

Feeling sorry for the spider, Peni just went in and opened it. That's when she was met with the shock of a lifetime.


Peter and GoGo were just making it to Joe's Diner and took their seats. As they started to look over the menu, the two of them wonders what to do right now.

"This feels a little awkward, right?" Peter asked her.

"A little," GoGo admitted. "I mean, what do we really do?"

"I'm not sure," Peter replied, not knowing what to think. "This is my first date."

"Wait, really?" GoGo asks, not seeing that one coming. "I thought you'd have a few girlfriends at school along the way."

"Nope. I rarely had any friends until all of you." Peter tells her, feeling a little sorry for himself. "Wow, I had a sad childhood."

"Well, at least you had Teresa and Peni, right?" GoGo ask.

Peter smiled and was happy thinking back to his sisters. "They were there for me as much as I was for them."

"Must've been hard growing up with the two of them depending on you like that." GoGo complimented. "You never really talk about it."

Peter never really noticed his friends know much about his family and was surprised by that. "Yeah, I never talk about it much, do I?" He then saw that this could be a chance to actually dive deep into his history with her. "When we were young...our parents were always there. They were scientists for the CIA, so sometimes they would disappear for weeks without a word and would have Ben and May come by to watch over us." He looked and saw GoGo was extremely curious about the story. "They died in a plane crash about a year after Peni was born. Ever since then...I've had to be the emotional support for the two of them. I had to grow up pretty quick, so they didn't have to."

"Must've been hard," GoGo said as she crossed her arms, placing her head on them to listen. "With everything that happened."

"When we lost Ben...it became harder, yeah." Peter nodded in confirmation, thinking back to that day. "I had to get that job at the Bugle to help and pay the bills, never mind the school."

"How do you put up with that guy?" GoGo wonders. "I mean, didn't he almost out you as Spider-Man?"

"Jameson's hard to get used to, but the time you get used to it and can live with it," Peter shrugged, have gotten used to Jameson over the past four years he's worked for him. "I hate the lies that he tells, but I need the money for the family."

GoGo smiled and just stared at him for a moment, getting Peter a little worried.

"What?" Peter asked.

GoGo rolled her eyes and bobbed her head. "Just remembering why I fell for you out of everyone."

Peter blushed and looked down. "Okay, so, what do you think of the night so far?"

"I say this is going pretty well," GoGo said with a smile as she took a drink of water.

And the entire night went like that. The two of them just talked and got to know a few details that neither of them knew of each other. They had a fun time and the two split the check before Peter walked her home.


Peter and GoGo get to her apartment and stayed outside her door for a moment, neither of them knowing what to do now.

"So...I guess I'll see you at school?" Peter asks her.

"Yeah, sure," GoGo said as she leaned in, and Peter did the same.

The two of them went in closer and felt their hearts pacing when their lips finally interlocked. The first time was quick and rushed, but this time the two let it happen naturally and began to cherish the kiss. After a moment, the two finally separated, even though they feel it was too short, they knew they needed to get to school in the morning.

"So, what are we gonna tell our friends?" Peter was curious to figure it out.

"I say we tell them what happened and see how they react." GoGo shrugged as she went back in and pecked his cheek. "See you tomorrow."

"Bye." Peter wished her farewell as GoGo walked in and closed the door behind her.

Peter smiled and sighed, shocked that he managed to get through the whole night without Spider-Man problems needing to interrupt it. He started to make his way out of her home and towards his own home when his senses finally went off.

Seems he got through the date without it, but not through the night without an emergency.

Hey, he can easily count that as one of the biggest blessings he's had in years. A whole dinner without being interrupted and having a good time all in one time?


Down the streets, there was someone in their advanced years: bald and wrinkled skin. He is always seen wearing his winged suit, which is primarily black and light green with silver trim. The wings on the suit are retractable and are wider than a man's height when fully extended.

He was currently flying over a truck for the bank and seemed to have already taken care of their armored transport as he landed on the roof of the truck. Using the wings, he cut through the roof and found the money in wrapping, ready for him to steal.

But before he had the chance to get in and steal it, Spider-Man came swinging in and kicked him off the roof, sending them both toppling and getting back up. Peter then got a good look over the person he hit and was surprised at what he was wearing.

"Okay, look, buddy, I have been having a good night, so what do you say that we just call it a night and I drop you off at the nearest station?" Peter asks this guy, wondering where he's seen this gear that he's wearing before.

"You really think that you can stand up to the Vulture, Bug-Boy?" Vulture asked as he took in a large breath before letting out a screech, amplified by a small device around his neck.

Peter grabbed his ears in pain, wondering what is happening, and quickly shot a strand of webbing at the speaker, giving him some time to get back up. "OW! Come on! I was in a good mood tonight!" He then wondered what was wrong. "Am I talking too loud?!"

"Make all the jokes you want; it'll be the last thing you will do." Vulture promises as he took to the air, activating his wings and grabbing Peter by the shirt, and taking to the skies.

"Be careful! My ears had just popped!" Peter cried in fear.

"I'm not interested in dropping as much as you splatting!" Vulture stated before dropping Peter, causing him to shoot a web to his leg.

"Did you think it'd be that easy?" Peter asked.

But then Vulture started to fly them around the city, smacking Peter into several windows, signs, and buildings before Peter had to let go through the pain. He fell before toppling on the roof where he shot a web and caught himself.

"Ow." Peter cried as he got up and felt his body. "Ow." He grabbed his shoulder. "And more ow." He muttered as he rubbed his hip. "Who the heck was that guy? The Vulture?" He then looked back to where the Vulture was and wondered where he has gotten to. "And where have I seen those wings before?"

Deciding he can't do anything about the guy tonight, he decides to go home and rest for the night and hope he can find out some information in the morning.


Meanwhile, back at his home, there was a secret finally revealed. Peni was currently sitting down and looking over the stuff that she has found in the box.

It was everything.

There was a stack of papers about the formulas that he's used over the years to perfect the formula. His original web shooters wrapped around his entire wrist instead of just like the small bracelets they were today. Even his original costume he used in the wrestling match when he first started.

"My brother...is Spider-Man," Peni said in shock.

Then SP, who was at the window, noticed her brother was coming back and alerted her. Peni jumped and started to pack everything up as fast as she could and placed the box back into the closet.

Sneaking her way out of his room, she made her way into her room and acted like she was already asleep.


Peter came home and was rubbing his ears from the Vulture's screeching back at the bank. The last time he heard something that loud, Wasabi was given his nickname.

Teresa was awakened by the door opening and woke up to see her brother coming home. "Hey, how'd it go?"

"It went pretty well," Peter admitted with a sigh, happy how things went. You know, until it ended with him needing to go into battle with Vulture. "But my ears are ringing after what happened."

Teresa froze at hearing that and didn't know what to say after that. "Okay, that was just wrong."

"Not like that." Peter groaned. "There was a break-in after I got her home, followed by a psychopath with wings."

"Wings?" Teresa asked.

"Yeah, this guy came flying through the streets and started a fight with Spider-Man," Peter said as the door opened again.

Turning around, they saw it was just May coming home and saw the two of them were still up.

"Hey." May greeted them and looked at Peter. "Oh, hey, how'd the date go?"

"Pretty well. Before it ended with a fight with Spider-Man and Vulture." Peter informed them. "Luckily, I managed to end the date before it happened."

"Oh." May saw and was sorry for that. "You okay?"

"I'm fine, I got there and took a few pictures for Jameson tomorrow then got out of there," Peter assured his family. "I'm gonna head to bed."

"Hey, those wings..." Teresa got his attention as he made his way up. "What color were they?"

"They looked to be a shade of light green," Peter answered her, wondering what the problem was.

"And the sound came from...?" Teresa was still questioning him, wanting all the information.

"Some weird speaker on his neck," Peter answered, wondering where she was going with this.

Teresa jumped to her feet and Peter suddenly started to follow what she was saying. "Oh god..."

"What?" May asked them.

"The Vulture guy that Spider-Man was fighting has gear from our school," Teresa stated in shock.

Peter didn't know how he didn't notice that a moment ago, but now that all makes perfect sense. During the Beetle's rampage through the school, a lot of equipment and projects were damaged, and most everyone thought their personal projects were destroyed.

But if this guy somehow got into the school, or just stole the gear after the attack, that means he has access to dangerous technology.


"What am I going to do?" Peni asked SP. "Should I tell him that I know everything? Maybe even tell him about the suit in the garage?"

But the spider gave her a bit of advice about how she should finish the suit before telling and letting Peter know everything she knows. Show him how there's more than one spider in the Parker family now.

"I guess that makes a bit of sense." Peni supposes. "Prove my worth so he can't stop me. Without sounding hypocritical."

Then her mind was made up, and that means she'll continue working on the SP//DR and when it was ready, prove her worth and how she can help people just like her brother.

Nobody in this family knows that by this time tomorrow, everything will be completely changed.


Back at her place, GoGo sighed with a smile on her face as she leaned against the door after saying goodnight to Peter. Her heart was racing the entire night, not wanting to screw anything up.

As she pushed herself off the door to start making her way to bed, she was pulled back when she looked and noticed that her fingers were sticking to the door. Starting to panic, GoGo looked to her left hand, which wasn't sticking to the door, and was beginning to panic when she couldn't free her fingers.

"No, no, no!" GoGo said in terror.

She worked to quickly remove her fingers from the doorway but only ended up ripping a small portion of the wood off the door in the process. Looking down, her fingers only then started to slowly release the bits of wood attached to her.

"What is going on with me?" GoGo wonders.

She thought that she had this under control. The other day, she could barely stand listening or talking to anyone without her ears driving her crazy. Which is why it was shocking when it worked when she threw that disk at the Beetle.

She was worried that this would have happened during the date, but luckily, they stayed hidden all night. But with every passing day, it's like something new is awakened inside of her.

First, it was heightened senses, now today sticky fingers.

What was next? Why was this happening to her?
