What danger is born by presenting someone destined to never posses one? No one has ever asked these questions because the answer never was needed or considered possible. But neither is the origin of the gifted device. The story of the Merc and the Spider continues as they struggle to live in a world where their kind simply aren't made to live. Where mutants are feared and their lives are made difficult. Under constant surveillance and stress the Arachnid Is starts to crack again under pressure. His actions over a year before still echoing clearly behind him as his crumpled hero reputation fails to rebuild itself after is openly presented attacks and murders. It brings to question if Peter should even be allowed to remain free and around civilians. And has S.H.I.E.L.D. Poking it's noses in business that simply doesn't involve the agency. They should have no say in whether or not the couple can build a family or not.
