5 years ago, Peter Parker, also known as The Amazing Spider-Man, joined a group of young superheroes known as Young Justice. Now, Earth has been invaded. Aqualad has betrayed the team, and killed Spider-Man. Meanwhile, a mysterious assassin has join...
I was Spider-Man, once. But for now, Spider-Man is dead. I'm not even Peter Parker. To The Light, I'm Tommy Thompkins. That's my cover name. Harry doesn't know I'm gone. He's in Europe on some business trip. After his father disappeared under mysterious circumstances, Harry's had to run Oscorp on his own. But I know darn well what happened to Norman. He's just waiting to strike back at any moment. Anyway, the apartment. I let Artemis and Wally live in the apartment until I come back. They're going to keep an eye on Aunt May. As for Daily Bugle? I quit that job. Kinda had to. And let's face it, Daily Bugle wasn't paying enough.
I'm in a private room, putting on the suit that Mr. Stark made for me. Once this mission is over, I'm going to be working at Stark Industries. Sounds like a fair trade. I then hear a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I ask, unsure if it's a Light member. "Tommy, it's me," I heard Kaldur say outside. I sigh in relief and open the door, letting my friend in. Kaldur shut the door behind him. "What do you think of my new suit?" I ask. "It is a far cry from your more colorful suit," said Kaldur, "but it suits the mission and no one will tell the difference. Not with that mask anyway. The suit is laced with a metal, no?" I smirk and say, "Adamantium." Kaldur gave a look of surprise and asked, "the same metal used to coat Wolverine's bones and claws?"
"Same ones my man," I confirmed, still smirking, "even without my powers, I could easily take someone out with the metal." Kaldur smiled and said, "impressive. Have you thought of a codename?" I put on the mask, turning on the interrogation mode. With my low voice, I said, "Call me Mr. Adamantium."

"Like Mr. Glass?" Kaldur asked. "You like Unbreakable?" I asked, surprised. Kaldur smirked and said, "Yeah. Come on, they're waiting for us." We then left the room. "Oh, and Peter..." Kaldur said, "I'm sorry about Gwen." I nodded and said, "Yeah, I know how you feel now." We walked together to learn of our mission. Kaldur's father, Black Manta assigned us to capture Jaime Reyes, AKA The Blue Beetle. Now we're on a ship with Icicle Jr and The Terror Twins, headed to Mount Justice. This is definitely a different crew than what I'm used to. At least I know I have a familiar old friend.
