Peter had always wanted to do something that could change the world, he just thought it would be by curing a disease or working for SHIELD like Fitzsimmons or even becoming the next iron man. But this, this was much better.

"And now just this final bit..." Junior muttered to himself as he finished off the final lines of his coding.
"Accessing files. Accessing memories. Updating protocols. Systems are loading.... Good evening Peter, or would you prefer for me to address you as Junior?" A chipper female voice rang out, the young genius pumped his fists in victory, "yes, yes, yes," he chanted, before suddenly composing himself. "O-oh sorry, I didn't answer your question, that was rude. Uhh, well I don't mind you can call me whatever."
"Very well, whatever."
"No, no, no, suit lady, I meant that you can call me whatever one of the names you listed before," Junior rushed to explain and chuckled a little.
"Oh, I see, very well, then Peter."
"Thanks, but I feel bad for calling you suit lady. Maybe I can come up with an acronym for you. Hmm, how about Artificial Intelligence Defending Spider-Man. What does that spell, A-I-D-S....oh," Junior blushed slightly, "we'll come up with an acronym later, I'll stick with suit lady for now," he said.
"Very well, Peter," Suit lady replied.
"You don't have to be so formal, it's just me suit lady."
"Okay Peter." Junior nodded with a smile, "thanks, now before I put you in my actual suit, I got to make sure you're fully functioning. So, uh, what are my superpowers."
There was a beat of silence before the AI answered, "well Peter, according to your series of videos titled: 'does whatever a spider can?' you have an increased metabolism, flexibility, agility and endurance as well as super strength, faster reaction times, accelerated healing, enhanced speed and heightened senses. You've also can stick to and climb walls among other surfaces and have developed a precognitive ability that you've chosen to refer to as your spidey sense."
Peter smiled, "yep, you're working," he responded cheerfully and uploaded the code to his suit. He went to the bathroom to get changed away from FRIDAY's watchful eyes and came out wearing a baggy jacket (that wasn't so large on him anymore) to hide the suit he wore under.
"May I ask where you're going Mini Boss?" FRIDAY's voice rang throughout the room, startling Junior due to his now enhanced hearing.
"Uh well, y'know Fri, every person reaches this point in their life when they kind of change," he started awkwardly.
"I am well aware you are going through puberty Peter, that's nothing to be ashamed of," FRIDAY responded, Junior blushed.
"N-no Fri, I didn't mean that. It's just, I'm a teenager now, and sometimes I might go against my parents wishes," he said, "but I promise I won't get into any trouble and I'll be back before 1am," he was quick to add.
"Protocols state that I should alert boss if you leave - "
"I know that FRIDAY, but c'mon please. Can't you do a favour for a friend."
"We are...friends?"
"Of course we are Fri," Junior said sincerely.
"Well then, I can let you leave without alerting boss or boss lady, as long as you return no later than 1am," the AI responded.
"Thanks Fri, I will," he promised as he opened the widow and crawled out. Once he was sure he was out of sight from the security cameras he took off the jacket and threw it on the roof. "Time for some teenage rebellion," he muttered to himself, smirking, as he tugged his mask on.

It had been weeks since Spider-Man (the name Peter had come up with when put on the spot by a small child he had saved) had made his first appearance and the people of Queens and Manhattan adored their local vigilante; he saved cats stuck in trees, helped old ladies cross the street and just generally looked out for the little guy. Though this earned him the admiration of many, it all felt quite dull for Peter; he wanted danger, to take risks, to have high stakes, not a guy ,who was definitely high, trying to steal a steak (don't ask, Peter thought it was weird too.) Oh if only he knew what this yearning would cost him...

Junior sat on the rooftop of a building, kicking his legs, while eating a sandwich from Delmar's. He had performed some flips and tricks for people but it was getting late and there was less people out so the teen took the time to enjoy a sandwich in the cool night air.
"Peter, there's a robbery taking place approximately 1.4 kilometres from here on the 3rd right corner," suit lady stated breaking the comfortable silence Junior had previously been in. The hero perked up instantly, dropped his sandwich and swang to wear the action was. Once he reached the location, however, he was dismayed to find that is was only a mere convenience store being robbed. He could even make out the criminal's face from the distance he was watching from! The thief was clearly inexperienced in his profession; the hood he wore was poor disguise and a telltale sign of how new he was to a life of crime - nothing the police couldn't handle. Peter shook his head as the man clumsily raided the cash register while a woman, hiding in a corner, clutched her phone close to her ear, likely calling the police. God, this guy was so bad a civilian could take him down - heck, one was! That was his job taken care of, Peter shrugged and turned his back to head home. What was the worse that could happe-
