At detention. A video plays, featuring Captain America. He pulls up a chair and sits.

"So... You got detention. You screwed up." Peter sighs and bites his lip in frustration. "You know what you did was wrong. The question is, how are you gonna make things right? Maybe you were trying to be cool. But take it from a guy who's been frozen for 65 years, the only way to really be cool is to follow the rules." We see the classroom is sparsely filled with students. MJ is sitting in a seat behind Peter. Peter sighs again and stands up forcefully. "We all know what's right. We all know what's wrong. Next time those turkeys try to convince you of something you know is wrong..." Peter gets up and marches out past MJ. Coach Wilson is slouching at a desk.

"Hey, where you going? Get back here." Coach Wilson says with no energy

"Just think to yourself, what would Captain America do?" Steve continues on the TV

"Why are you here? You don't even have detention." Wilson says looking to MJ

"Oh, I know. I just like coming here to sketch people in crisis." She says. MJ holds up a sketch depicting Coach Wilson.

"Heh. It's you." She laughs

"So your body's changing. Believe me, I know how that feels."


(A little skip again)


"Dronie, scan the ship for a white pickup truck." Peter asks. The tiny drone scans the cargo under the deck and spots a pickup truck. It hovers over the truck and scans its contents. Toomes' coworker gets out of the car and leads the slim man to the back. "Oh, this is too perfect. I got the weapons, buyers, and sellers all in one place."

"Incoming call from Tony Stark." Karen says

"No, no, no. No, no, don't answer." Peter panics but it answers anyway

"Mr. Parker. Got a sec?"

"Uh, I'm actually at school." Peter says

"No, you're not." Karen corrects

"Nice work in D.C." Tony tells him

"Okay."

"My dad never really gave me a lot of support... And I'm just trying to break the cycle of shame."

"Uh, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now."

"Don't cut me off when I'm complimenting you. Anyway, great things are about to-" The ferry horn blares. "What is that?"

"Uh, I'm at band practice." Peter says more of a question

"That's odd. Happy told me you quit band six weeks ago. What's up?" Tony asks suspiciously

"I gotta go. Uh, end call." Peter quickly says

"Hey."

Cut to inside the Starks car. Happy is driving down the road, Tony and Stas are in the back seat. Stas has in her headphones on while she watches youtube. Tony taps her shoulder and she takes one earbud out.

"Whats up?" She asks

"Suit up please." He tells her.

"I'll take those!" Peter says as he snatches a key chain "Yoink!" He then leaps onto the deck. "Hey, guys. The illegal-weapons-deal-ferry was at 10:30. You missed it." He disarms two guys with the spiderweb, kicks Gargan, and slams him. Peter ducks from Schultz's Shocker gauntlet, which gets caught in a gate.

"Spider guy's here." Randy says. Toomes leaves his seat. Two thugs get up behind Peter.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast." Peter throws them both. "Are you guys okay? My bad. That was a little hard." He eyes Schultz, who is still struggling to free himself. "I gotta say the other guy was way better with that thing." He then reloads his web-shooter. "I'm honestly, I'm, I'm shocked." Peter shoots a web grenade behind him, attaching a thug to the wall with it. In the cargo hold, Toomes bashes the slim man's head against the truck. He then faces Peter, who is standing yards away on deck. Suddenly, agents come out of nowhere and aim at Peter.

"Freeze! FBI!" An agent shouts

"Don't move." Another yells

"Get on the ground. FBI."

"Wait, what do you mean, FBI?" Peter freaks

"The FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation." Karen says

"I know what the FBI means, but what are they doing here?" He asks. A mechanical wing bursts out of the truck, making the agents turn to it. Toomes flies toward the deck in his vulture suit. Agents shoot at him. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Vulture fires a high tech weapon, drags a car, and throws it to the agents. "Look out, look out, look out. Move, move, move!" Vulture hits Peter, causing him to fall into the water. He then fires energy blasts at a man's arm.

"Get to the top deck. We're getting out of here." Toomes says. Peter shoots his web at Schultz, but misses. He shoots the web at Vulture's leg and pulls. Vulture hides behind his large metal wings that protects him from the gunfire, then shoots at the agents. One blast hits an indoor seating area. Peter weighs Vulture with a car attached to his web. Dodging a blast, he leaps to the upper deck and shoots some more web. Hanging from Vulture's suit, Peter swings over the water. The flying man fires at Peter. He swings back onto the deck. Vulture cuts the strands of web with the blades of his wings. Peter shoots web at the barrel of Vulture's high tech weapon.

"Activate Taser Web!" Peter shouts. Electricity travels up the strand of web and the weapon is yanked away from Vulture. On the deck, it bounces around wildly. Peter traps the weapon using lots of spiderweb.

"You're messing with things you don't understand." Toomes yells. The weapon's laser beam breaks up into multiple rays. The energy blast cuts through the upper seating area, narrowly missing frightened passengers. In the air, Vulture dodges the blasts as they shoot into the sky. Schultz sprints toward an upper deck, leaps into the air, and lands on Vulture's back. The rays slice through the length of the ferry, then vanish. In the seating area, passengers move cautiously. In the cargo bay, jets of water start to split up the ferry.

"Oh, my god. What do I do? Karen, uh, give me an X-ray of the boat and target all the strongest points." Peter demands. Peter's display highlights spots on the structure. "Web grenade. Web grenade." Shooting web, he leaps between the two sides of the ship. "Splitter web, go." Peter tumbles back and forth on the upper part of the ferry, connecting the ship with strands of web. He dodges flames as he travels down the length of the ferry. Peter fires several strands of web and once, and binds them together with another strand. Reaching the bow, he crouches on the edge of the roof. He eyes the two leaning halves of the ferry that are crisscrossed with spiderweb.

"Great job, Peter. You are 98 percent successful." Karen tells him

"Ninety-eight?" He asks

"Yeah, Spider-Man!" A man cheers but stops when the web strands begin to snap.

"No, no, no, no!" Peter freaks. Water floods the cargo hold, pushing the cars forward. People cling to posts as the stream rushes past them. On the upper level, passengers slide down the floor of the leaning ferry. The gap widens as the web strands continue to snap. Peter leaps into the air. "No!"

He grabs a thread and shoots another. Arms outstretched, Peter hangs between the two sides, trying to hold them together. Suddenly, the two sides start to move toward each other.

"What the hell?" He mutters to himself Peter lands gently in the seating area and looks around. Red light pushes one side of the boat while the other as little jets "What the hell..." Iron Man rises into view.

"Hi, Spider-Man. Band practice, was it?" He asks nodding towards the other side where Stas hovers using her powers.

"Go." Stas mutters. The two Starks push together the sides of the boat

"I'll seal you hold" Tony tells her through an intercom. Stas flies to the top using her powers to hold both sides while Tony flies inside.

"Yeah, Iron Man! Yeah, Infinity Witch!" The man claps and everyone follows Peter swings into the cargo hold, where Iron Man is welding the ferry back together. They fly to the top where Stas is waiting

"Uh, Mr. Stark? Hey, Mr. Stark. Could I do anything? What do you want me to do?"

"I think you've done enough." Iron Man and Infinity Witch fly away. Peter climbs to the top platform of a mast and looks around. Smoke is pouring out from the massive vessel. Rescue boats and helicopters approach from all directions.
