Peter Parker, 16 year old Midtown High student from Queens yet what has happened in the past few months has left Peter totally miserable.
With the epic showdown against the mad illusionist Mysterio, aka Quentin Beck, it ended with Beck making the whole world including New York believe Spiderman is the villain they never saw and to make it worse he exposed Spiderman's identity as Peter parker.
Unfortunately it means that Peter Parker is no longer safe as Spiderman, nor himself anywhere which is now preventing Peter from living his life.
Luckily Nick Fury decided to take Peter and his Aunt May away from the city to a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base just outside San Francisco.
For the time being, Peter has spent the last 2 months sleeping in a room with a few hundred S.H.I.E.L.D. officials just on the other side. Who knows if Peter will ever get back to Queens, or even see MJ or Ned again.
CHAPTER 1:
Peter sits, gazing into his bowl of cereal suddenly losing his appetite as he hears the news channel turn on.
"This is Jameson of the Daily Bugle, New York's own Spiderman also known as 16 year old Queens student Peter Parker has vanished along with his Aunt May and have been filed missing for the last 2 months, is New York now safe without the unmasked menace Spiderman?"
The small television turned off, Peter looked to the doorway and saw Aunt May standing with a hamper of laundry in her right hand and the remote control in her left.
"Now why do you do this to yourself?" she put the laundry down and sat down at the small table Peter was sitting at. "Watching these reporters talk about you like this won't help you get over the fact that we can't go back, Peter" she added.
"I know but Agent Hill said," he began explaining.
"No matter what Agent Hill says Peter you know it's up to Fury what happens to you," she interrupted.
"The world knew who Captain America was, they knew who Hawkeye and Black Widow were…" he paused, "they knew who Iron Man was May," he stood and began pacing.
"They all knew what they were doing Peter, no matter how much people hated them they kept going and I'm sorry to say but right now isn't the time to be a hero Pete," she said with sympathy.
"Tony left me with all of his inventions knowing it would help me become the Avenger he knew I could be and if the world hating me is going to stop that then maybe I'm not meant to be an Avenger at all!" Peter explained.
"Peter, you know this…" she stood and put her hand on his shoulder, "with great power comes great-."
"Responsibility…" Peter looked down, "I know."
As they both stood, Maria Hill stood at the doorway waiting for the right time to interrupt their family discussion.
"Agent Hill!" Peter looked at the doorway having not heard any news from her in a few weeks.
"Peter, Fury wants to talk to you," she said, Peter's face lit up.
"Okay, cool" Peter looked back at May and she smiled and nodded, Peter followed Agent Hill out.
They walked down the long hallway that made up part of what was the secret base located underwater outside San Francisco.
"So, did Fury say what he wants to talk about?" Peter asked as the walked side by side down the hallway.
"No, he just said he wanted to talk to you," she replied.
"Did he say anything about Spiderman, or if we can go back home or-" Peter went on.
"Peter…" she interrupted him, "all you should know is that it's important since it's been months since you've talked but all you can do is hope for the best."
"Yeah…" Peter concluded, they both began walking again until they finally reached their destination.
The large circular room was empty besides Fury and an old man sitting at a circular conference table that was the center of the room. The room was lit by the holographic interface that projected from the middle of the table, Peter and Maria sat down.
"Hello Parker," Fury said as Peter sat down, "you've met Mr. Rogers here before correct?"
"Wait...you're-" Peter paused, "dude your Captain America!" he blurted out.
"Unfortunately those days are behind me," Steve laughed, "luckily Fury here gave me a job for the time being."
"You work for Shield now?" Peter asked.
"Not exactly…" Steve explained.
"Welcome to the next part of your assignment Parker," Fury interrupted and slid a large file across the table towards Peter.
"A.R.M.O.R.?" Peter red from the first page of the file and looked up at them all.
"With Mr. Rogers experience he will now be the lead of our new organization" Fury smirked proudly.
"Alternate Reality Monitoring and Operational Response Agency," Maria Hill added.
"Alternate Reality?" Peter asked looking around at them, "like the Multiverse?"
"Precisely" Steve answered.
"No offense but the multiverse is the reason we let Quentin Beck persuade us into trusting him," Peter explained, "and it didn't end well."
"We believe that Beck was working with someone from another universe," Maria began to explain, "we have our reasons to believe Beck wasn't the brains behind the operation."
"When Thanos destroyed the Infinity stones it tore a whole in spacetime, we believe that when we brought the stones from the past to the present where the stones had already been destroyed we confused the universe and now random rifts could open up around the universe" Steve explained.
Peter's was surprised, his mouth slightly open as he tried to comprehend what Steve Rogers had just explained to him.
"That's so cool…" Peter smiled and sat back in his chair.
"For now but now we have the technology to predict where any anomalies that open up are" Maria said.
Fury stood and looked at Peter, who was still entertained by the short science class they just had from Steve.
"Parker, your taking a trip to San Francisco" he said.
