One night, at the Parker Refugee Pathways Fundraiser, Peter walks with Ben wearing a suit and a bow tie.

"How do you wear one of these suits every day, Ben?" Peter jokingly asks.

Ben smiles.

"With style and a quiet, uncomplaining grace, Master Peter." Ben says.

Peter smirks at his butler and forms a full smile to greet people and shake hands. He is then met by congresswoman Knope.

"Mr. Parker, this is a fine thing you're doing here." She says shaking his hand.

"Thank you, congresswoman. I know not everyone agrees." Peter replies.

He then looks over and sees Andrea Watson wearing a stunning black dress, taking his breath away.

"Would you excuse me for a moment?" He says with a smile.

He then walks over to Andrea, the two smiling as they stare into each others eyes.

"Wow. You look absolutely stunning. Ms. Watson."

"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself, Mr. Parker."

The two share a light chuckle as Peter wraps his arm around her waist.

"But you know, I think I prefer you in spandex." Andrea whispers.

While Peter blushes, Dick Grayson walks over.

"You know I heard that, right?" Dick says.

Both Peter and Andrea laugh.

"I'm glad you could make it, Dick." Peter says putting his hand on his shoulder.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world."Dick says.

At that moment, both Peter and Dick notices something.

"Hey, you hear what I see?" Peter whispers to Dick.

"Sniper up high, at the southwest window. Aiming right at your chest." Dick replies.

"People are going to be distracted, go after him as soon as he fires." Peter says.

He then leans over to Andrea.

"Hunny, don't be alarmed, but I'm about to be shot." Peter whispers.

"What!?" Andrea replies out of shock.

At that moment, the sniper shoots, but at the last second moves, only getting hit in the shoulder. Peter plays along, falling to the ground, giving Dick a distraction. Andrea kneels down at Peter's side.

"Someone call nine-one-one!" Andrea yells frantically.

She then kneels down.

"You're ok, right?" Andrea whispers.

"Yeah, of course." Peter replies.

"Ok, good. Someone help!"

Meanwhile Dick grabs a woman's scarf.

"Sorry, I'm going to need to borrow this." Dick says, wrapping it around his head, covering his eyes, and running up the stairs.

He then jumps through a window in the rain and chases after the shooter. He soon catches up, kicking deadshot the hunter in the back and down to the ground. Kraven gets back to his feet, with a smile.

"I try to only kill who I'm paid to. But you seem like worthy prey."

Dick smirks.

"Funny. My ex said the same thing."
