"So, are you going to the homecoming dance?" MJ asks as you're eating your chocolate pudding.
"I don't know. I mean, like you said, most of the guys here are idiots."
"Actually, I said all the guys here are idiots. Well, I'm going because there's food, so you can hang out with me, if you want."
"Okay, sure."
"Hey, guys," Peter greets you and MJ as he sets his lunch tray on the table.
"Hey, Peter. Who are you going to the dance with?" MJ asks.
"Liz."
"What? That's awesome! You've been, like, majorly crushing on her since, like...ever!" You congratulate Peter.
"What? No, I...no, I haven't!"
You and MJ share same expression that says "you lie."

After your normal day of classes, you head back to the compound and walk straight to the fridge, as usual. When you can't find any appetizing snacks in the fridge, you grab a bucket of chocolate ice cream and some frozen berries from the fridge. When you've scooped your ice cream, you bring your bowl and spoon to the couch. You reach for the remote and switch on the tv. You begin flipping through the channels as Tony walks in. Your eyes don't leave the television as he seats himself next to you on the couch. When you hear the Andy Griffith Show theme song, you stop flipping through channels. As Tony groans, you're sure he mumbles, "Right. Little Cap," a comment which turns your lips up to a smirk.
"Don't you want to put your book bag in your room?" Tony suggests.
"Why are you trying to get rid of me?" You question.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," He replies with mock innocence. Sighing, you decide to bring your bag up to your room to play along. Or because it would slightly bother you until it's taken care of. Looking back at Tony, a mischievous smile crosses his face. Looking suspiciously around the room, your eyes stop on a mysterious silver case setting on your twin bed. Once you open the box, a gasp escapes your mouth as you step back to admire your new suit. After you've fully admired the soft material and the overall look of the suit, you snap a quick, slightly blurry picture of your brand new super suit and send it to Peter with this caption:
"I HAVE A SUIT!! PETER......AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Once the messages have gone through, you hurry down to Tony who is waiting in the living room.
"So, you like it?" He inquires. Unsure how to reply, you don't speak. Instead, you surprise Tony by giving him a huge hug. After standing frozen for a few seconds, he wraps his arms around you. Only then do you realize how short Tony really is. You wipe thoughts of height from your mind and finally speak.
"Thank you," You whisper and run back up to admire your new suit.

"Hey, I'm gonna go get some food. You want anything?" You offer MJ.
"Nah, I'll get some later."
"Okay."
When you have filled your little plate with strawberries and cookies, you turn to see Peter by the door. You can tell something's really wrong. His face shows unmistakable shock and worry. He walks up to Liz, but hurried out of the gym seconds later.
"Um, I think his aunt has a really bad flu." You approach Liz, trying to help Peter out.
"Well, he could've just told me that." Liz is obviously frustrated, but you can't blame her.
"Yeah, that's Peter. I'm gonna go."

You run in the direction Peter went, stopping to get your shield and suit from under the lockers. Peter gave you the perfect place to store it, just in case something like this happens.
Outside, you find a man with some sort of glowing weapon fist that enhances his strength, standing over Peter. Running and kicking the man on the center of his back, as hard as you can, he stumbles forward. Peter runs towards his fallen web shooters on the ground, but the man jumps up and hits Peter with a bus. You then kick him on the back of his knees, making him kneel down. You swing your shield at his head, but he punches the shield with his weapon, sending you flying back into a car windshield. You cringe as a piece of broken glass slices into your shoulder. But, as the man is standing over Peter, ready to use his glowing weapon on Peter, you run to him despite the pain that will soon pass. You stop short when spider webs shoot past you. Looking back to where the webs came from, you see Ned standing there. Peter takes his webs and attaches the man to a school bus.

"Ned, the guy with the wings is Liz's dad," Peter hastily informs.
"What?"
"I know. I gotta tell Mr. Stark. Call Happy Hogan. He's Mr. Stark's head of security. Get a computer and track my phone for me."
"What about me?" You ask.
"Come on, we gotta catch the guy with the wings before he leaves town."
Peter begins swinging on his webs while you run on the ground close behind him. Your lungs are mildly burning, but now is not the time to be a wimp.

Peter "borrows" Flash's car and phone to call Ned.
"Who are you?" Flash asks as Peter, or Spider-Man, is ordering him to give up the car.
"She's Lady Liberty." Peter replies for you. And, though you can't see his face, you can tell he's showing a huge grin.
"How long have you been thinking of that one?" You ask Peter once you're in the car and speeding after the guy with wings.
"You know...I had to get you back for 'Spiderling'." He shrugs.
