Danny then arrived at Rand as his driver parks in front of the company.Danny then unbuckled his seatbelt and he opens the door and he stepped out and he closes the door and he quickly walked towards the entrance and he grabs the glass doors handles and swings it open and he walks in and walks past the reception desk and he walks in front of the elevator waiting for the door to open,then his phone rings from his pocket and he grabs it and sees that he got a call from Ward then he answers it with a calm tone
Danny:Hey Ward
"Where the hell are you!? You just left from our talk and it's very unprofessional of you! Don't you know how important this is!?"
Danny:How important is it that I'm a sitting duck between you and Jeri? You two don't even ask me if I want to marry Emma or not
"Well do you?"
Danny:No of course not
"Danny you need a wife and a family to pass down your company"
Danny:I'm 17
"That's why we're waiting until you're 18"
Danny:You literally gave me alcohol a few days ago which is illegal and yet you're waiting for me to get married until I'm 18?
"I didn't give any alcohol,your own hand grabbed the drink"
Danny:No I didn't. You were too drunk to even remember,I'm stopping by at the lab, don't even try to drag me back to your talk with Jeri*he then ends the call as the elevator door opened and he steps in the empty elevator and he pressed the button with the highest number and he felt the elevator go down as he lays his back against the elevator wall with his hands in his pockets then the elevator stops and the doors started to open and he stepped out then stops and turns his head as he hears faint glass breaks in the plain gray hallway then he heard a faint female cry then he ran down the grey hallway towards the white door and he turns the knob and the door wouldn't open then looks out of the small window on the door and sees the lab covered in black smoke then one of his fist glows yellow then he punches the knob and the knob falls to the ground then he kicks the door open by his heel and he runs inside and he covers his mouth and nose due to the smoke*

-Meanwhile with Peter-
Peter:*sitting on a bench glaring at Jennifer from the distance as she was with her friends*(I shouldn't have come, I should have listened to Sam and just left for patrol instead, god I'm so stupid)*he then felt a weight sit next to him on the bench and sees a boy with a leather jacket on with jeans and fawn curly hair with brown eyes in the corner of his eyes and lightly blushes*(shit he's cute, I think he's Jennifer's boyfriend,don't look at me don't look at me!)*the boy then turns his attention to Peter who was avoiding his glaze while his cheeks were uncontrollably red*
"Hey. You ok? Your cheeks are red"
Peter:U-Uh yeah! It's just a little hot right now*he answered as he was still red and was smiling awkwardly then the boy had scooted right next to him*
"So you met Jennifer"
Peter:Uh yeah, a friend of mine had introduced me to her, but I don't have any interest in her if that's what you're asking
"That's good to know, so you're single right now?"
Peter:I rather not talk about it
"Girl problems?"
Peter:No, I just swing the other way
"Oh that way, so you haven't found a guy yet?"
Peter:No not really...*he notices the boy take out a paper out of his pocket and a pen and he started writing something down which raises Peter's suspicion then the boy gives him the paper that was folded in half then the boy had gotten off the bench and walked towards Jennifer and wraps his arm around her neck then Peter opens the paper and it was written: Call me ;) (xxx) xxx xxxx which causes Peter to blush and his eyes to widen then he shoves the paper in his pocket then he looks up to the boy who was smiling along with Jennifer then Peter stood up from the bench and started to walk away in which catches Jennifer's attention*(why did this have to happen to me? Why am I being so popular!? This is an uneasy feeling that I'm not used to)*Jennifer then ran in front of him blocking him from watching in which it surprises Peter*
Jennifer:You're leaving already?
Peter:Y-yeah, sorry. Something urgent happened at home
Jennifer:Oh well do you want my boyfriend to drop you off?
Peter:N-no! I'm fine, I'll probably just call a taxi
Jennifer:Oh...well bye Peter. So I'll text you later?
Peter:Y-yeah! Bye Jennifer!*he walks around her and started speed walking as Jennifer watches*(oh thank god I survived from there!)
~~~~
Sandi:Thank you again Mr.Rand*the scientists,and Danny turned their heads towards the hallway as the elevator door opens and they saw Joy quickly walking down the hallway and she furiously grabs Danny's arm and pulls him up on his feet and she drags him away from the scientists*
Joy:What the hell were you doing down here?
Danny:I came to check on the truth serum, and it looks like I came at the right time since they were about to die in the lab
Joy:Danny...maybe you should just give up on the serum, people are already getting hurt already
Danny:The truth serum didn't cause the fire, it was another chemical that had spilled on explosives
Joy:Why the hell do we have explosives?
Danny:It was probably something your dad ordered before I came...our dad
Joy:We need to call an ambulance Danny,the scientists have burns and so do you,and it looks like it's a nasty one*she said as she grabbed Danny's right arm and examines the burn*
Danny:It's nothing Joy,it'll get better in a few hours
Joy:Danny you need medical help for that burn
Danny:No I don't. The scientists need medical help not me,I'll be fine. Just help me take the scientists up to the office to be able to call an ambulance
Joy:Alright*she walks down the hallway with Danny towards the scientists and they started to help them up and walk them towards the elevator*
~~~~~~
~An hour later~
Peter was walking down the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets towards his house he then walks up on his porch and he grabs his house keys to open the door and then he walked in and closes the door behind him and walks up the stairs and walks towards his room then he stops as he smells a weird familiar smell in his room then he swings the door open
Peter:Danny!! I thought you were at work!!*he scolded as Danny was in front of his bed with one incense cone on each corner around him with him sitting in the middle with his legs folded while wearing sweat pants and a white tank top with a big wet cold bandage covering his burn on his right arm*
Danny:Hey Pete,you're back from your triple date already?
Peter:Yeah I am and why the hell are you in my room? With your smelly incense?
Danny:I bought another scent
Peter:Yeah well this one smells like ass! Just get out of my fucking room before I throw them out the window
Danny:Peter...*he spoke softly as Peter had flopped onto his bed face flat and his phone started to ping from his pocket then he grabs the phone from his pocket and he started to slightly turn his head towards his phone as his right eye peeks out as he reads a message on his phone then he messaged back to the message he received then he turned his head again as he moved his white pillow under his face and he decided to yell into his pillow angrily as it shook Danny out of his meditation*
Peter:*he started yelling out curse words into his pillow which came out as muffled yells and Danny stood up from the floor and he calmly walked towards Peter as he turned his head with a concerned and confused expression on his face then Danny decided to speak out in a calm tone of voice as it made Peter to shut up*
Danny:Are you okay Webs?
Peter:*he then spoke out in a muffled voice due to his face still against the pillow*You're still here?? I thought I told you to leave or I'll throw you out the window
Danny:I did but I was too busy getting distracted by your yelling,what's wrong?
Peter:...it's nothing...just leave me alone
Danny:I know that you're lying to me Pete*he then sat on Peter's bed as Peter turned his head towards Danny with his right eye peeking out looking at him and as Danny gives him a small warm smile which causes to give out a light blush on his cheeks*
Peter:You're a real pain in the ass...
Danny:I know, Luke and Ward would remind me every time. So what's wrong?
Peter:*he then started to cover his face with the pillow*I don't want to talk about it...
Danny:I'm not sure that you noticed Pete but you seem to have a gift of pushing people away
Peter:Was that supposed to be a compliment or insult*he muffled over his pillow*
Danny:I just want to know if you're okay
Peter:Other than me having a meltdown, I'm perfectly fine,thanks for asking
Danny:Peter I'm being serious
Peter:So am I
Danny:Peter just talk to me
Peter:I am
Danny:Peter just stop. Just tell me what's wrong, maybe I'll be able to help you
Peter:*he then started to groan over his pillow as he ignores Danny*
Danny then started to take a deep breathe and he then laid his body next to Peter's as he turned his direction towards him as Peter was still laying his face on the pillow without noticing Danny
Danny:Peter.What ever you're dealing with,you can tell me. You can trust me
Peter then started to mumble in a cracked voice from over his pillow
Peter:You wouldn't understand...
Danny:How do you know I wouldn't understand what you're troubled about if you don't tell me?
Peter:Stop trying time be a smart ass Danny, I'm sure that a guy like you wouldn't understand what I'm dealing with
Danny:I can help you Peter. I said multiple times that you can trust me
Peter:*he then went quiet for a few seconds then he started to speak again as he moved his head with the back of his head facing Danny*Can you just leave Danny?
Danny:Peter can't you at least just-*he then gotten cut off by Peter threatening him*
Peter:You better leave before I web your ass against your bed*Danny then started to get off Peter's bed and he grabbed his four incense cones and he started to open the door then he looks back to Peter then he walks out of the room while closing the door behind him leaving Peter alone on his bed with his pillow under his head then he grabs the paper from his pocket then he looks at it and had placed the number in his pocket then he grabs the white pillow and he placed it under his head as he normally laid on his bed and as he faces the door then he let out a groan and he turned his body around so he was facing the window*
~~~~~~
Jessica,Sam,and Luke were sitting on the couch in front of the TV playing a video game with their controllers in hand and as Ava was sitting next to Jessica with her folder out as she heard footsteps from the staircase and sees Danny walk in front of the TV blocking the three teens from playing a video game and he flopped himself next to Ava and he rubs his eyes and looks down to the carpet in front of him with a frown on his face in which Ava noticed
Ava:Did something happen in the office Dan?
Danny:I guess you could say that...but I was just in Peter's room for our meditation
Ava:Let me guess, you got kicked out
Danny:I did...I just wanted to know what's wrong since he entered the room so angrily and he started yelling at me to leave
Ava:So something might have happened, such a shame that he won't tell us for us to help
Danny:Probably,and I did heard him throw his phone against the wall, so whatever happened he's mad
Ava:I never thought that Peter would have anger issues...though I do get it. He still blames himself for his uncle's murder, and I did over heard Aunt May talk to someone on the phone last night. And I'm guessing Peter gotten into legal trouble as well
Danny:He did?
Ava:I guess so. Like I did some research and their wasn't a article about him other than his uncle's death. So I don't know what type of trouble he got with the police. And May is worried about him but she wouldn't want to push herself to Peter about his anger issues,she fears that he might leave. I don't know who she was talking to but Peter is probably mad about that
Danny:Well if it angers him so much then we shouldn't bring it up, we should just wait for him to tell us himself
Ava:That if he can even trust us. Like we known each other for about a few months now, he can at least tell us what he needs help with
Danny:Well it's not easy to open up to people that he met for a few months now,he trusts MJ since they known each other for years
Ava:I know, but why doesn't he trust us? It's not just of him opening up and talking to us, it's also during missions
Sam:If you didn't know Ava*he spoke as he kept his attention towards the TV with Jessica and Luke*He's probably overprotected of us,remember what happened with Harry's dad? He nearly killed us and gave Luke a broken arm, I don't blame Parker to being a mom towards us
Ava:We weren't talking to you Sam, so don't budge in our conversation
Jessica:And you have to stop budging in Peter's life
Ava:Can you two just shut up? I'm talking to Danny, not you guys
They argued as Peter was walking down the stairs while he clenched his eyes as he was overhearing the team's argument as he was beside the door he snapped back at them
Peter:Can you guys just shut up!? You're all so annoying!
Sam:What did we do to you grumpy pants?
Peter:I'm going to meet up with MJ, tell Aunt May that I'll probably won't make it for dinner
Jessica:So you're ditching us for the redhead?
Peter:She's my best friend Jessica,and I trust her
Ava:More than you trust us?
Peter:Well yes actually. Is it a problem?
Ava:Why don't you trust us Peter? You weren't like this before
Peter:It's not that I don't trust you guys, it's just that I don't want to talk about it
Sam:Why not? Why don't you tell us anything? We didn't do anything!
Peter:Stop butting in my business! My problems doesn't involve any of you guys*he paused as he sees Danny not looking at him and instead was facing the carpet in front of him with his blonde hair covering the left side of his face then Peter looked away and grabs the knob of the door*I won't be gone for the rest of the day, I'll just hang out with MJ for a bit and then I'm going out for patrol
Jessica:What are you going to eat then?
Peter:MJ will probably give me something,her mom and aunt are always very giving, so I'll see you later*he then turns the knob then walks out of the house while closing the door behind him then he walks down the porch*
Sam:Soo...what should we make for dinner?*he places the controller down and he stood up from the carpet and walks into the kitchen then Jessica placed her controller on Luke's lap then she walks towards Sam*
Jessica:Can I help?*she asked over Sam's shoulder as he puts on his apron*
Sam:Uh sure,what would you guys want to eat tonight?*he asked towards the rest of the team as they were in the living room and as Jessica started washing her hands in the sink beside Sam*
~~~~~~~~
Peter started walking down the empty sidewalk with his head down as he walks up the porch and knocks on the brown door
"Oh sweetheart, can you get the door please? I just heard someone knocking"
MJ:Sure mom*she spoke as her mom was on the couch and MJ was walking towards the front door from the kitchen then she opens the door and sees Peter smiling at her*Peter! About time you came!
Peter:Sorry, I was dealing with my roommates
MJ:Come in Pete*she stood out of the way so Peter could walk inside then she closes the door after he walked in then she walked in front of Peter then she calls out for her mom and Aunt*Mom, Aunt May! Peter's here!
Mrs.Watson:Oh Peter. It's so great to see you again. How's your aunt?
Peter:She's good Mrs.Watson, she's a lot more busy in the community center and shelters, but it's fine
Mrs.Watson:Oh your aunt is such a great woman.*a elder woman then walks into the living room from the kitchen and Peter turns his direction towards her as she forms a smile towards him and as he smiles back*
May:Oh Peter! I'm sorry I was very busy
Peter:It's fine,I probably came at a wrong time
MJ:No you didn't Pete,now me and Peter are going to talk about some drama, so we're going to my room,is that okay mom?
Mrs.Watson:Of course sweetheart,we'll call you when dinner is ready
MJ:Thanks mom*she quickly pecks her mom's cheek then she grabs Peter's wrist and started dragging him up the stairs as May and Mrs.Watson watched*
~~~~~~~
MJ was walking back and forth around her room in front of her bed that Peter was sitting on while watching MJ
MJ:So her boyfriend gave you his number?
Peter:yeah...
MJ:Is he cute?*she asked as Peter quickly nods then she jumped on the bed with Peter with excitement*Do it!!
Peter:MJ you know that I'm not ready for a relationship
MJ:It doesn't help to start dating Pete, but is he cuter than Danny
Peter:Uhh no
MJ:Well does he have money?
Peter:He looks average
MJ:Date Danny
Peter:MJayyyy*he whined as he laid back onto the pillows and he covers his face*I'm looking for a relationship
MJ:Come on Pete, he likes you, you like him, no matter how much you try to deny it even though you told me a week ago
Peter:Nooooooo
MJ:Come on Pete, you should ask him out
Peter:I know that,but he's leaving in a year,so what's the point of dating him now? I'll get hurt anyway
MJ:I'm sure Danny won't let you go like that
Peter:I don't know...*he then sat back up with a frown on his face*
MJ:Come on Pete, Aunt May is probably done with the pie*she smiled as she jumps up from her bed as Peter did the same and MJ grabs his hand and gives him a bright smile then pulls him out of her room*
~~~~~~
MJ and Peter were walking down the stairs and sees Mrs.Watson standing up from the couch for her to head towards the dining table then Mj quickly let go of Peter's hand and had ran down towards her mom and she grabbed her arm and had gently helped her stand up and walk towards the dining table beside a chair
Mrs.Watson:Thank you dear*she gave MJ a sweet smile as she slowly sat down on the chair and as Peter was walking down the stairs with his head down, then May walked in with a plate of salad and had placed it in the middle of the dining table then she looks up to Peter*
May:Peter, are you staying for dinner?
Peter:I'm sorry but I can't, I have to go back home
May:Oh! Well let me give you a bag for you to take home*she rushed into the kitchen*
Mrs.Watson:How are you feeling Peter?*she asked with a gentle soft tone and as Peter turned his head towards her with his hands in his front pockets ignoring the cracked phone in one of the pockets*Did you get a boyfriend yet?
MJ:M-mom! He's dealing with some issues in his love life
Peter:I'm not,it's just problems at home...
Mrs.Watson:Oh?
MJ:Maybe it's better not to bring it up to him mom
May:*she then walks around the dining table with a bag in her hand with packed food inside and she hands the bag to Peter*Here son*she smiles at him as he took the bag and he peeks inside*
Peter:Uh thank you Ms.Watson*he spoke in a nervous tone while he gives her a smile*
May:Oh please,call me May. You and your aunt are part of the family, we dealt with some obstacles together didn't we?
Peter:I-I guess so,thanks May
MJ:I'll walk you out Pete*she walked towards Peter and they both walked side by side towards the front door and MJ opens the door for him*So I'll see you at school tomorrow Pete
Peter:Yeah...did you contact Harry yet?
MJ:I did,but still on voicemail,it's like he's avoiding us
Peter:I'm sure he'll get over it and he'll be fine tomorrow
MJ:Probably, and you also have a date tomorrow after school with Danny right?
Peter:We're just hanging out with Luke and Jessica, it's nothing serious MJ
MJ:Just make the first move Pete
Peter:And how do I do that?
MJ:I don't know! Maybe like...hold his hand or something
Peter:No wonder you're single
MJ:Hey I'm dealing with family issues, I can't start dating now*they turned around as they heard May call out for Peter and she quickly walked towards the door beside MJ with a pie in her hand and lid on top and hands it to Peter*
May:I nearly forgot to give you this, cherry pie is still your favorite right?
Peter:Y-yeah it's still is,thank you May*he grabbed the pie with his two hands and he smiled to May*I should get going,thanks again*he smiles to them as he walks out of the house with the bag of food and cherry pie on his hands then MJ closes the door*
May:So what did you two talk about
MJ:Oh you know, boy drama
May:Oh...well his aunt called me a few hours ago, before you left to school today, she asked me about Peter
MJ:Really? Why?
May:She's worried for the kid, especially after everything that happened, she fears that he might be involved with some dark stuff
MJ:Peter wouldn't do that
May:I know he wouldn't, but he would always sneak out a lot and had been having some anger issues as well, she fears that it could be that Skip guy again
MJ:Peter wouldn't go back to him, he still has nightmares about him
May:Maybe it's something you should talk about with Peter, you and him were friends since you were kids, I'm sure he'll tell you
MJ:Sure Auntie, I'll see if I could talk about it with him(I'm not sure that he will though,he doesn't tell me a lot of things anymore)

Luke and Danny were sitting on the couch as Ava and Sam were arguing over the kitchen counter as Jessica was washing her hands in the kitchen sink while being annoyed by Ava's and Sam's yelling
Luke:Hey man, I didn't want to ask but what's with the bandage on your arm*he asked as he pointed Danny's right arm where there was a big bandage wrapped around Danny's arm*
Danny:Oh that...I got burned, there was a fire in the lab at Rand
Luke:Have you been able to heal it?

Luke:So! About webs...and our double date tomorrow
Danny:I'll pay for everything Luke
Luke:No I know that, but what about webs? He's not your responsibility Danny, you shouldn't be depressed right now
Danny:I know that but I'm still worried about him, he wasn't always like this
Luke:I get that you want to help Danny but...maybe you should listen to the others and maybe stay away...
Danny:Why should I?
Luke:Well from what Ava said...about him having some anger issues, he might get physical...
Danny:Physical? Why would I be scared of him being violent?
Luke:Well like I said, we should just stay away in case any of us gets physically or emotionally hurt by him, I'm just looking out for you dude. I know that you want to help but you can't always help everyone, we don't know everything about him or ourselves, we can't help him if he doesn't tell us
Jessica:*she then yelled out to Luke and Danny*Hey boys! Food's done!*the boys then walks towards the kitchen counter with Sam and Ava finishing their argument then they heard the door open and footsteps walk in*

Peter was sitting on a rooftop with his Spider-Man costume on with his sweater on and his mask beside him as he took a bite out of a slice of cherry pie that was next to him along with the bag of food then grabbed the piece of paper from his sweater and reads the number then he crumpled the paper in a ball and throws it off the rooftop then took his last bite of the cherry slice in his hand then he stood up as he puts his mask on then he grabs the bag of food and the covered cherry pie
