Carlos Gray was born with his powers, he grew up in Queens with his mother and father, both of who embraced their sons abilities.
As he grew up, he proved to be academically gifted- always being the top of his class.
But when he's 15 a billionaire v...
The next morning Carlos woke to another message on his phone from MJ, 'I need a ride', he smiled at the screen before jumping out of bed to get ready, he threw on a basic outfit then shouted out to his dad, "pa? am I getting a ride with you to school?", he then started to brush his teeth, looking in the mirror to see his dads head pop round the door.

"Yeah, I can drop you on the way to work?", he then smiles at his son, "tell MJ that we'll be there in five". The two went down to blocks parking lot and got into Jacksons car, "you doing anything today? anything on your superhero schedule?"
Carlos watched the buildings pass by his window as he spoke, "I'm sure Peter will want to patrol tonight", he then looks to his dad when the car stops before a nice house with a blue door, "and I think MJ knows", his lips formed into an awkward smile when Jacksons head snapped over to him, "I didn't tell her, she kinda... figured it out", the older man rubbed his forehead, sighing.
"Well, if she knows, you protect that girl at all times", he pointed a finger at his son as MJ walked down to them, "understand?"
Carlos nodded before turning around to look at his best friend, "so...?"
She only responded by giving him a chilling glare, "hi Jack", the man waved in the mirror, MJ flicked her head back to Carlos, "why didn't you tell me? I mean, could of been a help", Carlos starts to stutter a response, only silenced by a finger, "that doesn't matter, I know now, and you have some promises to make", both of the Gray boys became confused by this, "you have to spend time with me, I'm still your best friend", Carlos nodded, "you have to at least let me help you out sometimes, or keep me up to date on your escapades"
The dark haired boy turns in his seat to look his friend in the eyes, "I promise to keep you up to date with everything going on, and I promise to still be you best and only friend ever"
The girl pulls an offended face at this, "I have other friends"
"Example, please", at the opened mouth and silence he smirked, "I rest my case", Jackson laughed at this before he pulled up outside the school.
As they walked in Carlos spotted Ned and Peter at a locker, Carlos pulled MJ to stand by them, "hey, Peter", the two boys span around, looking up to see Carlos' face, "this is MJ", the said girl looked between the two before the pieces licked together in her brain, she looked up at Carlos to see him nod subtly, "how you doing Parker?", Ned stared at the tall boy, still confused as to why he speaks to Peter.
Peter flushed scarlet, "oh, erm, h-hey, hi... I'm g-good, ho-how are you?", he rubbed the back of his next, feeling the heat radiate from his skin in embarrassment.
"I'm good, just wondering if we had any work for the-"
Carlos' words were cut off by a group of cheerleaders walking by, "hiya, Carlos", they all smiled flirtatiously and giggled when he waved back, not deterred by his stony expression.
