Just as everything seems to be doing alright, she is faced with one of the only people who knows her truth, a new intern and right hand man to Mr. Stark-her childhood best friend, Peter Parker. He threatens to reveal the truth about her identity, along with a mysterious caller that recruits Lenore as a spy to gather information on Stark Industries. What are they planning? Lenore can only imagine. But she must obey. If she doesn't, one sentence can tear the whole thing apart.
