"What happened?" Aria Stark turns to her friends, as she wipes away the tears she felt flowing down her cheeks. She couldn't remember anything. She looked around to find out she was at the Statue of Liberty, standing on the large metal version of Steve's shield that was going to be added to the statue. "No idea." Aria answers, before seeing Dr Strange floating down. "Strange! Do you know what happened?" "Something to do with Spider-Man." Strange says. "We got to get off . Come on. I'll make a portal back to the sanctum." Strange creates the portal and they all step through.

The last thing Aria remembered was being with Spider-Man on the Statue of Liberty, then the next moment the masked hero was gone. Everytime Aria saw his face without the mask the face came out blurred. At least she knew she knew him personally. It became her mission to find out who Spider-Man was, but most importantly what happened to her and her friends to make them forget what had happened.
Aria was walking along a street in New York City, to the cafe her friend MJ Watson worked at. She had her headphones in, blasting music into both her ears. The brunette was looking down, which meant she didn't see the person in-front of her, until she collided into them. "I am so so sorry." Aria says, taking her headphones out as she turns to the person to find a boy who looked to be the same age as her. "No need to worry." The boy tells her. "I'm Peter. Peter Parker." "Aria." Aria breaths out, the name Peter Parker feeling familiar to her. "Aria Stark." "Wait, Stark as in..." Peter starts. "Tony Stark? Yeah. He was my dad." Aria informs him. "Thought you looked familiar. I watched your speech on TV. You were amazing." Peter says. "Thanks." Aria says, before seeing Peter looking down. Aria looks down to see a piece of paper in the puddle between them. "Oh my God. I am so sorry. Did I make you drop that?" "It's..." Peter starts, going to pick it up, but Aria gets there first. "It's completely ruined. You can't make out a single word. I am so sorry." Aria says. "It's honestly fine. It was nothing important." Peter says, taking the paper and throwing it in the bin beside him. Peter was completely relieved that it was ruined so Aria couldn't of seen what was on there before. "Still, I'm on my way to a coffee shop my friend works at to meet my group of friends. Let me treat you to a coffee as an apology." Aria tells him. "That's not necessary." Peter informs her. "I insist." Aria says. "Okay. Thank you." Peter says, a small smile on his face. "Of course. Come on. It's this way." Aria says. The pair then continue the short walk to the coffee shop, together.

After spending the day with Peter, Gwen, Ned and MJ, Aria let's out a exhausted sigh as she flips onto her bed, which was surrounded by boxes ready for her to move to her dorm room for MIT next week. "Miss Stark." F.R.I.D.A.Y, her dad's AI, says. "Yes, F.R.I.D.A.Y?" Aria asks, propping herself up on her hands. "I have just discovered some files in a folder that were deleted the day you were on the Statue of Liberty." F.R.I.D.A.Y tells her. "Who would delete my fathers files?" Aria asks. "Doesn't say who deleted them." F.R.I.D.A.Y informs her. "Can you access the files and send them to my laptop." Aria asks, walking over and sitting at her desk opening her laptop. "Of course, Miss Stark." F.R.I.D.A.Y says. "The files titled Peter Parker." "What?" Aria asks. "Something wrong, Miss Stark?" F.R.I.D.A.Y asks. "I met a Peter Parker earlier today." Aria says. Aria opens the files and sure enough there were photos of her, Peter and her father, some photos of just her and Peter, some of just Peter and her father, some of just Peter, and there were different pieces of paperwork on Peter. "F.R.I.D.A.Y, can you find where the other person in this photo lives?" Aria asks, looking at a photo of just her and Peter. F.R.I.D.A.Y finds the location to Peter's house before Aria closes her laptop.

The next morning, Aria found herself waiting outside Peter's apartment complex. After a couple hours of her waiting her comes out. He walks down the steps freezing when he sees her. Aria's breath increases as she looks down, then looks up at Peter, giving him a smile before turning serious. "We need to talk."
