"Okay, everyone here has to swear to never reveal Spiderman's identity." Ned, Peter, Tyler, and Theo were sat in a small circle on the floor of Peter's bedroom with an unfinished Lego Death Star in the middle and Cage the Elephant playing softly in the background. As always, they found themselves back here after school, but none of them had any intention to study.
"Is... is this really necessary?" Ty interrupted Ned as he read from a sheet of paper their 'terms,' looking up from analyzing the glowing purple alien thing in his palm. He received a glare in reply.
"Yes! You guys are all a part of this now. Therefore, we need to set down some ground rules," Ned replied seriously, "Anyway. There will be no talking about Spiderman business outside of this room unless it is an emergency, in which case, we will use the code word-"
"Let me guess, you looked 'spider' or something and translated it into Klingon?" Ty said, earning a bark-like laugh from Theo as Peter handed him a Lego piece to fit onto the Death Star.
Ned glared, "No, actually, the code word is just 'gagamba,' which is Tagalog for 'spider.' And besides, 'spider' in Klingon was just 'spider,' so..."
"Okay, okay, Ned, I think they get the idea," Peter said, obviously not taking this as seriously as Ned was.
Suddenly, a small beep was heard, cutting through their conversation. Ned pulled out the advanced GPS from behind his back locating the red dot in the holographic map of the East Coast in seconds, "Leaving Jersey."
"Those guys sure are taking their time," Ty commented, snatching the device from the boy's hands giving him back the glowy thing in return, "Where did you even get something like this, Peter? This is legit."
The brown-haired boy rubbed his neck, "Um, it was part of my suit. Mr. Stark really gave me a bunch of extra stuff."
Theo glanced behind him towards the bed where the infamous Spiderman suit lie. The four teens had spent about an hour analyzing — and fanboying, in Ned's case — over how advanced it was.
"I still can't believe that whole 'I know Mr. Stark' thing was real. No offense," Ty winced, trying to minimize how rude his statement sounded. Peter merely waved dismissively, "It's fine, I know how random it is. It's not like anyone else believed me."
Peter had filled Ty in on what was really going on already, so everyone was just about caught up. "So, tell me about the guy with the wings again. Did you get a good look at the machinery?" He asked, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Well, it was huge. Probably 8 feet in length. And I think they had these two giant fans that powered them? I dunno, it was dark when I fought him, and then he dropped me in a lake," Peter explained, shrugging nonchalantly.
Theo's jaw dropped as he leaned forward, intrigued, "Wait, wait, he dropped you in a bloody lake?" The blonde didn't know what had happened to Peter after he was knocked off of the van.
