Daily Bugle (a few days later...)

Peter Parker was inside the building and making his way up towards the main offices of the Daily Bugle, having new pictures of Spider-Man to give the editor.

Upon getting inside, it was easy to hear the sounds of computers typing all around him as he made his way to the editor's office, hearing the sound of two voices yelling at each other the closer he got.

"Hi Pete." Betty Brant greets Parker with a smile. "How's it going?"

"Uh good Betty..." Peter says before asking her. "What's going on with Jonah?"

"Oh he's just arguing with Lois again." Betty tells him. "One of the biggest stories possible happened and she just happened to not get anything on it."

"Lois? ...Oh right! She's that reporter that works for you guys." Peter thinks some out loud. "I read some of her articles before."

"Well maybe if you have new photos for Jonah, you can use this as an excuse to meet her in person." Betty smiles and responds. "Lois has seen your photos and likely wants to know how you know when and where Spider-Man will show up."

Peter went to the door and listens in on the conversation between Jonah and Lois.

"You have to be joking with me!" Jonah calls out in frustration. "Not only did you not get the story of the military hunting that green giant, but you just happened to be part of the big news here in the city and didn't get any words from the guy that stopped it?!"

"Cool your jets, Jonah!" Lois replies back to him. "I said I would get the story on Hulk and got you better results than whatever a normal reporter would give. The only issue is that Ross is strict on his perimeters and I got caught before I could get the full fight scene with Hulk."

"It doesn't matter anymore, Hulk, Stark and even Spider-Man aren't big enough to talk about anymore." Jonah tells her. "This caped weirdo you mentioned is the topic on the street now. New York wants answers on who our mystery man is!"

This caught Peter's interest some, since he didn't see the news report when it was on television, mostly busy around that time dealing with villains like Shocker and Vulture while also curing Dr Connors from being the Lizard, so he didn't get the full news of the plane being stopped.

"Lois, this is possibly the biggest request I'm giving you, but I want you to find any way to get words out of this flying man. Pictures are one thing, but this guy has tons of reports of showing up and saving someone in trouble with no response to the public." Jonah asks of the woman. "Are you up for the task?"

"Just get me a photographer to help on the scoop." Lois suggested to her boss. "Maybe assign Jimmy with me for this."

"Jimmy is getting a few pictures for me of the rocket story you got for me a week ago so it can go for a column on the next paper. He won't be back in a while." Jonah says thinking for a bit before he gets an idea. "How about Parker? His skills at getting pictures of Spider-Man could help get a perfect picture of whoever this....guy is."

"He'll do. Just make sure the kid doesn't get in the way." Lois responds to the idea.

"Betty! Where's Parker?!" Jonah calls out to his secretary.

"He's already here with pictures for you!" Betty calls back.

"Well let him in! This is urgent!" Jonah tells her, prompting Peter to open the door to see Jonah and Lois before walking in.

"You wanted to see me?" Peter asks the editor.

"Yes. For once, I'm offering to pay you to take a picture of someone else besides Spider-Man." Jonah nods before giving introductions. "Parker, this is Lois Lane, the Daily Bugle's best reporter. Lois, this is Peter Parker, the photographer getting the Spider-Man photos for us."
