Peter walks out onto the stage, with Morgan and Pepper behind him, ready to make the biggest announcement of his life. With his mentor gone, he is making the decision to finally reveal his identity and step into the limelight, also revealing the truth about Mr.Stark's death. Every news station around the world is broadcasting this live, so one slip up, and his life could be over before he says 'Shitake Mushrooms'

He stepped up to the podium in his suit and sunglasses, looking just like his mentor. He raises a hand, and everyone goes quiet. He looked around to see T'Challa, Shuri, Carol Danvers, Wanda Maximoff, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Maria Hill and Nick Fury sitting at the back. He nods a head in recognition. They all gesture back. Peter took a deep breath before continuing.

"Thank you for coming here today. Before we begin, I would just like to start this press conference with a moment of silence for Mr. Tony Stark, as I always do." Peter began, before bowing his head in respect, as did Pepper and Morgan.

"Thank you everyone, now you may recognise me as Mr. Stark's intern from previous press conferences. I would just like to remind you of some of Mr Stark's most memorable moments. On the 7th May 2023, Tony sacrificed his life for half of the people on the planet. His last words to everyone were 'I am IronMan.' Rest in peace Mr Stark." They were murmurs but Peter quickly cut them off.

"Now July 2012, when the avengers were assembled, he referred to himself as a 'Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.' Now they can be changed. He is a saviour, a hero, a husband and a father to an incredible young girl. Come here Morgie."

Peter opened his arms and Morgan ran over and sat on Peter's hip as they continued. There was a communal 'awee' from the crowd.

"Now on the 23rd of July 2002, Mr. Stark made the most important announcement of his life. he said the same words that he would say 21 years later. He said 'I am Iron-Man'. I wasnt even alive yet, but i still couldn't be any more proud of him. Morgie had a phrase she used to say to her dad, didn't you Momo?"

"I love you 3000 daddy. Rest in pepperonis." Morgan whispered into the mic, before burying her head in Peter's neck. Sniffles and coos came from the crowd, some people trying to hold back tears.

"Here I am now, with the best sister in the world in my arms, and the best mum in the world behind me. I would do anything for them, including revealing who I really am to protect my family now that Mr Stark is gone and people have started targeting my loved ones. So i am here today to say, my name is Peter Benjamin Parker-Stark, and I... am Spiderman."
