 Peter was swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper in Los Angeles when he came across a group of teenagers harassing a small girl in a dark alley. He swung down to pick up the girl and take her away. To his surprise, it was none other than seven-year-old Morgan Stark. "Morgan?" Peter sighs as he puts the girl down. Peter removes his mask in the hopes that Morgan remembers.

"You look familiar..." Morgan begun.

"Yes," Peter nods, "I'm--"

"used to work for my dad." Morgan ended.

"Uh..." Peter puts back his mask and clears his throat, "Yeah, Spiderman." Peter swung away.

That evening during dinner, Morgan places food on her plate, when Pepper notices the look on her daughter's face. "What happened?"

Morgan looks down at her plate of food, "I met Spiderman today!"

Pepper drops her plate, shattering it into multiple pieces on the hardwood floor, "You met him?!" Pepper grabs her daughter's arm, "Where?"

"Mom," Morgan tried to get her mother's attention, "you're hurting me!"

Pepper loosened her grip, "I'm sorry, baby, but where did you see him?"

Morgan took a deep breath, "He saved me at the alley behind the Starbucks close to my school."

Pepper closes her eyes and calls, "Friday! Call Luke and ask if he can babysit tonight. Also, call America tell her we got a lead."
