Spider-Man landed on the roof of the Triskellion with a heavy sigh, looking around for a hatch to enter instead of going through the front entrance.

"I can hang here for a while" he said in a deflated tone, still angry at his own stupidity to allow his identity to be revealed to Black Cat and the sting she had delivered to his pride by her reaction. He eventually gave up looking for a hatch and just lay down on his back, staring up at the stars of the dark night.

"Why the fuck am I so bummed out about this?" he asked himself, pulling his mask off and staring into nothing "She never really cared about me, she was only looking for sex... that's all" Peter took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, allowing the calming sensation to try and unknot his tense muscles and shoo away the sick feeling in his gut.

"Was I looking for a relationship with her?" he asked quietly, resting his hands on his stomach "Or was I just trying to get the same thing she was... fuck man, why the hell am I out here?"

"Good question" a familiar female voice said. He looked up to see the form of Ms. Marvel against the moonlight with her arms folded. Peter didn't try to cover his face, after all, how many people knew who he was now? More than he wanted to and that was still too many.

"Hey Ms. Marvel" he said with a flimsy wave.

"What's the matter Peter?" she asked, floating down to him and sitting down, crossing her legs and looking at him.

"Girl trouble" he shrugged "Stupid mistakes and superhero woes"

"Ah" she said with a smile "I know how that feels"

"You know about girl troubles?" Peter asked, looking up at her with a blank expression.

"If you're talking about losing a girlfriend, then no" she said, tracing a circle in front of her legs on the roof "But if you're talking about period pains, then yes, I am fully aware of those"

"Gross" Peter laughed, placing his hands behind his head as he relaxed his neck again.

"What's the matter with your girlfriend?" she asked.

"I don't have one, I nearly did, but now I don't" Peter said quietly.

"Ah, the ol' 'One that got away story', I know how that goes" Ms. Marvel nodded "What happened?"

"She found out who I was" Peter said solemnly "And then she bolted"

"Really?" Ms. Marvel asked, resting her chin on her hand and raising an eyebrow "Usually most girls love to have a superhero boyfriend, for the first few weeks at least before they get kidnapped or held for ransom by a super villain or-"

"You're not helping" Peter interrupted quickly.

"Right, sorry" Ms. Marvel chuckled "Why'd she bolt?"

"She was disgusted to find out that I'm only fifteen" Peter answered, sitting up and resting an arm on his knee.

"How old was she?" Ms. Marvel asked with a puzzled expression.

"Early, mid-twenties" Peter said "I don't really know to be honest"

"Wow, I would think that any woman that age would be kind of shocked to find out that the guy they were flirting with was barely old enough to grow pubic hair" Ms. Marvel smirked.

"I guess that would upset a good few women" Peter sighed, looking down at the roof he sat on with a heavy expression "How do you know my name anyway?"

"Fury let me read through your file after today, a very interesting read if I might say" Ms. Marvel chuckled.

"Thanks" Peter nodded "I guess"

"Not as good as your father's but entertaining all the same" Ms. Marvel continued. Peter's head shot up at the mention of his father and he narrowed his eyes at the female superhero.

"What d'you mean?" Peter asked.

"Y'know, your father got up to a few antics in his lifetime, everywhere from attempting to play God for a certain loved one, creating a new breed of spiders that would eventually turn you into what you are, to getting into a fistfight with Nick Fury" she smirked "He had a great life"

"What are you talking about?" Peter demanded, moving closer to Ms. Marvel and kneeling in front of her with his hand extended.

"You... you mean you haven't read the file yet?" she asked in a surprised tone "His or your mother's?"

"They have a file on them?" he asked angrily "Why the fuck didn't he tell me? Where are they?"

"They're stored where all the files are; in the S.H.I.E.L.D database in the Triskellion, I'm sure Fury would let you read it if you ask him" Ms. Marvel said "But not now, he's in a meeting with-"

But Peter was already gone.

He had pulled his mask back on as he leaped over the edge of the Triskellion, attaching a web-line to the roof to stop himself from splattering on the floor before rushing through the front entrance. He was allowed, reluctantly though, past security and up to the top floor of the building where he saw Widow and Hawkeye standing outside the briefing room.

"Hi guys" he said as he passed by.

"Yo" Clint waved, placing a hand on Widow's arm as she got up to stop him "Not our problem babe" She stood for a second before sitting back down with a sigh.

"If we get hell for this I'm blaming you" she snapped.

"Sure thing Tash" Clint nodded, not really paying attention as he stared at the Rubik's cube we was attempting to solve.

"You've been at that all night" she said.

"I don't like to leave things unfinished" he shrugged.

"If only you kept that policy when we went to bed" she said grudgingly, crossing her arms and looking away. Clint lowered the Rubik's cube, looking straight at the wall before turning his head to look at her with a bemused expression on his face.

"Really?" he asked in disbelief. Spider-Man went through the automatic doors and walked up to the table where he spotted Celestia and Cadance talking to Fury who was sitting with a mug in his hand with the words 'World's Sexiest Eyepatch' printed on it.

"Fury" Spider-Man said loudly, getting their attention.

"Ah, kid, I was wondering where you'd gotten to" Fury said before looking at the princesses "Can I have a few minutes?"

"Go right ahead" Celestia gestured "Cadance and I can talk for a while" Fury got up and walked over to the shorter superhero, gesturing for the two of them to walk out of earshot.

"What do you need?" he asked.

"Ms. Marvel just told me that you guys have a file on my father" Spider-Man said "I want to know if you'd let me read it? Please?" Fury put a hand to his face, seemingly weighing up the choice before, to Spider-Man's surprise, nodding his head.

"Sure, I'll send you the civilian copy to your email address" Fury nodded "You should have it by tomorrow morning"

"Uh, okay, wow, that was easier than I thought it was gonna be" Spider-Man nodded gratefully "Thanks"

"No problem, now, do you mind coming and talking with the princesses and I?" he asked "I'd like for you to explain why you allowed Max to wreak havoc for as long as he did and when you finally decided to step in why you did such a bad job"

"What?" Spider-Man asked.

"Come on kid" Fury said, clapping Spider-Man on the back and pointing to the table. Spider-Man sighed and moved over to where the table was, taking a seat and placing a hand on the desk.

"Now, Your Majesties, I'd like to formally introduce you to Spider-Man" he said.

"Yo" Spider-Man said, allowing the Y sound to build up as he threw up a gang sign.

"Hi" Cadance said with a grin while Celestia merely smiled.

"Right, as we were discussing earlier, the battle with Max Dillon, caused several million dollars worth of damages to a power plant and to New York's power grid" Fury began "And the man you can blame is sat right across from you, so if you have any mean things to say to him, now's the time"

"Hold the fuck up, I didn't sign up for that" Spider-Man interjected "If you're just gonna be mean I'll fuck off" There was a look of discontent on Celestia's face as Spider-Man spoke and after he'd finished Fury looked at him with his fingers linked underneath his chin.

"You're just enjoying the fact that you can swear like a madman in front of royalty without getting in trouble for it, aren't you?" Fury asked.

"I am loving it" he chuckled.

"Well, I'd ask you to remember that with one easy command I can have your real name, face, date of birth and home number shown to our royal guests and they can take it up with you on their own kid" Spider-Man held out a hand with an extended finger before dropping it down again.

"I really hate you sometimes, you know that?" Spider-Man asked angrily.

"You and half of the country pal" Fury chuckled.

"Wait, you know who he is?" Celestia asked, holding her soft hand out with a sleek finger extended "And you haven't informed me, why?"

"Because I don't have to" Fury shrugged "And as disrespectful as this may sound, the operations of S.H.I.E.L.D and its agents are nothing to do with you"

"Well... I've always appreciated your honesty Director Fury" Celestia said with a roll of her eyes.

"Do we have any grub on the go?" Spider-Man asked.

"We're kind of in the middle of something kid" Fury said.

"Actually, I haven't eaten much today, is there food?" Cadance asked. Celestia looked at her niece with a cold glint in her eye and the pink haired princess shrugged sheepishly.

"Alright, I'll see what the chef can cook up at this hour" Fury said, using a communicator on the desk to talk to others in the building "We can take a break and stretch our legs if you want"

"Awesome" Spider-Man said, jumping out of his chair and sticking to the ceiling, sitting down and looking at the others below him.

"Get down" Fury said.

"I'll meet you half way, can I make a web?" Spider-Man asked.

"Since when could you do that?" Fury asked.

"I don't know if I can, but I sure as hell wanna try" he chuckled.

"Go ahead, just don't break anything while you're up there" Fury said with a wave of his hand.

"Cool" he nodded, using his web-shooters to make the initial strands of web he needed before circling around each line and laying down another strand before lying down on his back and breathing a sigh of relief "Well, that went much better than expected"

"Isn't... isn't someone going to have to clean that up?" Cadance asked.

"No worries, the webbing dissolves after an hour" Spider-Man shrugged, resting a leg on his knee and swinging it to a beat he made by clicking his tongue.

"How?" Cadance asked.

"How what?" Spider-Man asked.

"How does it dissolve?" she asked "Most spider webbing doesn't just dissolve on its own"

"That's because its not real spider's webbing" he said, shooting a web line to the floor and tugging lightly on it "Its a synthetic fibre I developed that resembles spider webbing but over a thousand times more durable" Cadance walked over to the strand of webbing and twanged it with her finger, hearing the deep sound reverberate through the air like a guitar string.

"Wow... you said you made this yourself?" she asked.

"Yep, all by my lonesome" he nodded "I'm quite proud of it too, now, if you'll excuse me I'm gonna have a nap for fifty nine minutes and fifty seconds, don't wanna wake up when this thing gives way, I may still be able to do what a spider can after that but I think my superhero career would suffer, after all, the Wheelchair-Bound Spider-Man doesn't have the ring to it I need" Next Chapter: Crime and Punishment: Teenager Edition Estimated time remaining: 7 Hours, 50 Minutes
