Summary
Peter dazed off in class all the time, daydreaming. She didn’t stalk him, she just liked to keep tabs on people - and it seemed that Peter had become even more distracted than he had ever been before the Blip.
Peter was a flake - aloof and quiet in a way that bothered Michelle. He’d been interesting once, always hiding and clearly trying to sneak off and do Spider-Man things. Michelle didn’t know what it was, what other secrets Peter Parker had…
But she was absolutely positive she had no interest in learning any more of them.

Summary
Before he can even make it down the hall, the phone stops ringing - Tony thinking for a half-second that it was nothing only for FRIDAY’s voice to ring out.
“Boss, Peter Parker is attempting to enter the building.”
Tony stops in place, a sharp prick of panic before it turns into confusion. “Wait, he’s what? From the front door?”
“He is currently at the southeast window attempting to find the edge of the window to open.”

Summary
“You have a call from Peter Parker sir.” FRIDAY chimes in before presumably pushing it through, Tony immediately feeling on edge when he hears the pained breathing on the other line.
“Pete?”
Tony hears a sharp inhale, immediately standing only for his stomach to drop at Peter’s next words.
“Tony… I really messed up.”

“Dad, dad, dad, please—“
“How much for him?” Richard asks, already running through the mental calculations of what a dog would cost on their already lean budget, a ridiculous notion that he knows he shouldn’t entertain.
“Just wanna make sure they find a good home.” The woman says, turning her attention back to Richard, a warm smile on her face as she says, “Sounds like your boy is ready to give it.”
Richard smiles back, all the logic and reason deflating out of him as he nods and says, “Yeah, I guess he is.”

Summary
Morgan sighed, staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom.
She was being ridiculous, knowing that she was being entirely too frustrated over an assignment that wasn’t all that difficult to begin with.
But her father had graduated MIT when he was her age, Peter had already been a superhero for over a year when he was fifteen.
Morgan walked back over to the bed, flopping back down on her back and stared at the ceiling again.
She may have had all the time in the world to figure out what she wanted to do, but she couldn’t help but feel as if she was already running behind.

Summary
High school was hell, even one as relatively nice as Midtown.
Boring classes. Boring teachers. Electives specifically designed to be the most appealing to whatever Ivy League college Midtown graduates applied to.
Yet aside from the usual gossip and high school drama, the number one focus for the junior class at Midtown School of Science and Technology revolved around the potential romantic relationship not between students - but two teachers.
Mr. Parker in chemistry and Ms. Jones in physics.

Summary
"Hello, Lieutenant Stark. My name is Peter. I'm the android sent by CyberLife.”
"What do you want?" Tony snarls, not even sure why he's entertaining the thing.
“You were assigned a case early this evening. A homicide involving a CyberLife android. In accordance with procedure, the company has allocated a specialized model to assist investigators."
"Well," Tony says, turning towards it - the blue LED light glowing from its temple and the blank expression on its face that makes him want to punch said face in, "I don't need any assistance. Especially not from a piece of plastic like you."
"I understand that some people are not comfortable in the presence of androids but I am-" it begins, only for Tony to interject with a hand wave.
"I'm perfectly comfortable, I'm just not interested."

Summary
“You have got to stop eavesdropping, Mo. Someday, you’re gonna overhear something you’re gonna wish you didn’t,” Peter says tiredly, Morgan going to say something further only for Peter’s back to straighten - his body tense as he glances around.
Whatever argument that Morgan has immediately falls away, recognizing that look from a lifetime of being surrounded by literal superheroes as she asks, “What’s wrong?”
He doesn’t get the chance to answer, the sounds of something like fireworks popping off as he throw himself over her - pushing her down to the ground so hard that her head snaps against the pavement.
“Ow,” Morgan mutters, dizzy and a little out of breath from how heavy Peter is only for a swell of panic to rush through her when she realizes Peter isn’t moving.
“Peter?”

Summary
Peter was indecisive by nature, a trait that both Ben and his dad had passed onto him. It’s a trait that cost Ben his life, Peter’s hesitation to intervene forever altering the course of his life.
Now he had to decide about more things in his life, day by day pushing the boundaries of his comfort levels and forcing him into becoming someone meaningful. A hero who wouldn’t hesitate to do the right thing.
Peter hadn’t given much thought about the problems the Avengers got themselves into day by day.
Until Tony Stark walked into his apartment, walked into his life, and made the choice for him.

Summary
Ned doesn’t have a lot of experience with losing people but he does know how much darker the world feels without Ben. He can’t even begin to compare it to how May and Peter feel, but he still gets it - enough to share in the memories. Enough to miss him so much it hurts.
Enough to make a quiet promise to wherever Ben Parker might be that he won’t let them ever be alone.

“There it is.”
“There’s what?” Michelle asks, Johnny shrugging before gesturing his now empty glass towards her.
“You,” he says simply, as if it’s supposed to make sense to her even if— surprisingly— it does.
“Good looking out,” Michelle says with a half-smile, Johnny shrugging nonchalantly as he turns back to the penthouse.
“It’s what I do.”

“Ooh you got someone already? Nice,” Gwen says, clearly recognizing the little ding as Michelle glances up at her. “What was their question?”
“If you were an animal, what would be your biggest predator?” Michelle reads, Gwen’s eyebrows furrowing.
“What was their answer? Mankind?” Gwen asks.
“Bold of you to think I’m not a chicken running around without a care, unbothered by who is out to eat me.”
Gwen blinks then snorts from laughing, Michelle grinning as Gwen says, “And that’s what did it for you?”
Michelle shrugs, looking back down to the phone and the text pop up.
“Corny but self-aware at how ridiculous this is. Sounds like exactly my type,” Michelle says with a laugh.

“I can’t quit the play,” Peter finally says, throwing him out of his thoughts, “We’re doing it together, man.”
“No,” Ned explains, “MJ and I are doing it together. You can’t even make it to practice on time.”
Peter frowns, Ned immediately going to amend it when Peter sighs and says, “You’re right. I’m sorry, dude. I know this was supposed to be our thing…”
“It’s fine,” Ned’s quick to say, shaking his head. “I know you’ve been busy.”
Peter’s frown deepens at that, looking back to Ned with an unreadable expression on his face as he says, “Not too busy for you.”

Summary
They’re all teenagers— her age more or less— and yet Michelle feels completely separated, knowing without having to ask that these were kids who had lived through the Blip. It was like some unspeakable code that they all knew— the difference between Blipped and non-Blipped kids that served as a gulf between them.
She pushes that away, tapping her pencil against the sketch pad only to be distracted by a blur of teal and pink— a girl with pink converse and a board that’s an almost obnoxious shade of teal— as she dips in and out of view, skating around and into the half pipe.

Summary
Tony’s words echo around in his mind, staring at the blinking cursor on his laptop screen and debating with himself.
The whole point of coming to MIT was to be different, to enjoy this— to finally live and act like a normal person for once.
Peter straightens his shoulders.
College was about reinvention anyway.
He should probably get started.

Summary
Pain, Peter’s learned, is relative.
Subjective. Fleeting. Impossible to measure.
He knew from his biology classes that pain was less a feeling but more of a chemical— neurons traveling together and communicating. Brain synapses signaling to each other what is, what was, what will be.
Pain is intangible, objectively speaking.
Right up until the moment it isn’t.
