Spider-Man: Keep No Secret

Dawn of A New Hero

"Absolutely not, Peter, we discussed this", Bruce said as he walked angrily through his lab. "The answer is no, Peter".

"Bruce, just hear me out", Peter demanded as he followed Bruce throughout the lab. Bruce turned around to face Peter with an annoyed face, he was prepared to listen to Peter's excuse. "A kid in my class was killed this morning, & now I feel responsible, because when you can do the things that I can, but you don't, & then the bad things happen, they happen because of you".

"Peter", Bruce sighed. "You don't understand the position that you're putting me in, you'd be pitting me against your fathers. Plus, this is extremely dangerous & I don't think you know what this would mean for you, constantly putting yourself in the line of fire & in any & all dangerous situations".

"I know what I'd be doing", Peter proclaimed. "Ever since I was younger, I'd look up to all of you, you guys are the fricking Avengers, you all are my heroes & all I've ever wanted to be exactly like you me heroes. So I don't think you understand how much this means to me".

"Peter, it's too dangerous... & your dads would kill me if they found out that I let you be a hero", Bruce explained.

"They won't find out", Peter said. "I plan on wearing a mask, keeping my identity a secret, my family may be able to handle themselves, but my friends at school are just normal kids & I don't want to endanger them".

"Peter, I can't help you", Bruce said.

"You can't or you won't", Peter asked? Bruce looked at him annoyed. "I hate that I have to lie to everyone about this, especially to my dads, but it's the only way I can do this. I thought that you of all people would want to help me".

Peter turned around, he was angry. He started heading back to his bedroom but Bruce stopped him.

"Peter don't be like that", Bruce yelled out to him. Peter was almost at the door.

"I'll just do it myself", Peter yelled back. "That way, you're not caught in the crossfires".

Peter walked out the door.

"Dammit, he's going to get himself killed without us", Bruce whispered. "What do you think I should do Hulk"?

A moment of silence went by as Bruce listened to what Hulk had to say.

"Fine", Bruce sighed as he rolled his eyes. "Peter, come back in here".

Peter ran back into the room, he didn't go back to his room, he was just sitting outside the room the entire time listening.

"I'll help you", Bruce said. Peter smiled brightly & hugged his uncle.

"It took a few days, but this suit looks amazing", Peter said. He looked at the red & blue suit that laid on the table in front of him.

"I did include a tracker, camera, & a communicator", Bruce explained.

"And I worked on the web-shooters all week, I finally figured out the condensing method to fit webbing into the small cartridges", Peter said as he added his web-shoots to the suit.

"Are you sure about this", Bruce asked? "I know I told you that I'd help with your suit, but I'm still super worried about you doing this".

"Uncle Bruce, you don't have to be", Peter expressed. "I'll be fine".

Without another word, Peter grabbed the suit, stuffed it into his backpack & ran up to his bedroom.

He ran up to the penthouse & walked to his room.
