So this will be a Spider-man story crossed over with Tomb Raider, the rebooted series specifically with a few elements from previous timelines thrown in. This will pick up shortly before the events of the first game and will go on until I think the story has ran it's course and end it. So will that mean that certain events in the games and comic series based on the games will go down differently because of Peter's presence, eh yes and no.

Now as for whether or not Peter as powers, yes and how he got them will be revealed and how he came to be in Trinity's service as time goes on, mainly during the events of the first game.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Marvel or Tomb Raider characters seen, mentioned or used.

There are times that Peter thinks that he's perhaps a little too nice, that he does favors a little too easily, that he dosent demand enough for his hard work. Perhaps that's ture and Peter always swears that he wont be so easy to either persuade or he wont be as forgiving as before.

'But then my guilt complex and sucker like personality kicks in and I'm suddenly bending over backwards to appease people...' Peter thought with a tired sigh as he sat in a cab that was currently racing acorss the Syndey Harbor bridge.

Beside Peter was a large blkack duffle bag and a backpack filled with the essential items that he'll need for the expedition that he volunteered for. Cltohes, tolietries, a few broken down guns, ammunition, some knives, his uniform, a few files of the various crew members that'll be on the ship used for the expedition and a laptop for him to screw around on during the voyage.

The simple everyday kind of stuff a man cursed by an ancient Egyptian deity needs.

'Though I'm not sure why I'm being sent on this thing' Peter thought with a sigh as he gazed out the window to see the port that the ship, Endurance, was docked at 'I'm a expert in Anceint Egyptian mythology and culture, not East Asia. They should have sent Martin for this instead. Plus he actually has more connections out here then me'

And Peter voiced such reasons on why he shouldn't be sent on this trip to Trinity's High Council, but he was assured that his 'gifts' would prove useful.

'Yeah, useful waste of time' Peter thought dryly as he saw that his ride was nearing the entrance to the port.

After a few minutes of navigating the docks, the taxi finally came upon the Endurance. Peter gave the vessel a quick once over before he gestured for the driver to stop.

"Thanks for the lift" Peter said as he got out.

"Welcome mate, have a safe trip" the driver responded as he watched Peter remove his bags from the backseat before clsoing the door.

Peter tapped the taxi's top before he began to make his way towards the ship. They were prepairng to depart soon based on how urgently everyone was moving. Peter adjusted the grip on his duffle bag while he slung his backpack on and slwoly made his way towards the ramp that led up into the ship. Peter scanned the small group of crew getting on for the man his contact.

"Where are you, where are you, where are you?" Peter said to himself as he scanned the crowd for the face of the man he needed to meet to get on the ship.

"You lost?" a woman's voice spoke up behind Peter.

Peter glanced over his shoulder to see a young attarcive woman with a mixed heirtage that Peter could confidently say was Japanese. She was also dressed in what he figured had to be the latest fashion trend given how expensive the jacket she wore looked. She wasn't very tall, perhaps only 5'5 to Peter's 5'11. She held a rather expensive looking camera in her hands and Peter noticed that it was recording.

Peter blinked at her before he nodded slowly as he turned his body towards her "Uh yeah, I'm uh looking for a mister Wilt"

"Oh your his freind?" the woman said with a grin "He mentioned that a freind of his would be coming with us"

"Well, that's me!" Peter said with a laugh while thinking 'It can't be this easy... could it?'

Though given how some things went in the past, Peter wouldnt be against it if it was.

The woman nodded as she pointed towards the bow of the ship "Wilt's helping some dockhands with he lines up there, I can let you on and then go let him know your here"

"Thanks I appreciate it miss...?" Peter trailed off as he waited for a name even though he knew who she was the moment he saw her.

Samantha Nishimura, daughter of Hisao Nishimura, one of Japan's wealthiest and most successful businessmen. Attended and graduated The University of London with a degree in filmography, editing, and directing and was the best friend to the woman he was sent to watch.

"Oh, I'm Sam" she said with a chuckle as she held her hand out for Peter to take "I handle the actual documenting for this thing. Filming, editing, all that jazz"

"Cool" Peter said as he took her hand and carefully shook it, wouldn't do for him to accidently crush the thing by accident.

"And you are?" Sam asked with curiosity.

"Oh, I'm uh Peter, Peter Parker" he said with a sheepish grin "I uh, I'm good with stuff"

"Oh, like hat?" Sam asked with a laugh.

"Uh mechanical stuff, chemistry stuff, and uh other stuff" Peter said as he adjusted the grip on his bag.

"What, you some kind of scientist?" Sam asked with a snort.

"Not officially, but yeah I dabble" Peter said with a shrug.

"Like mad scientist dabble?" Sam asked.

"Yeah let's go with that" Peter said with nod.

The two laughed at that as Sam gestured for Peter to follow her to the check in "So mister Parker, what brought you all the way out here to join us on a voyage in search of the long lost civilization of Yamatai?"

"Wilt said it'd be fun and I've been dabbling in East Asian culture and studies recently. Thought this would be a good learning experience and help with my studies" Peter said as he eyed the vessel 'Surprised Croft could afford a vessel this big for such a expedition. Not many captains are willing to waste the fuel or resources to go looking for some long lost island in the Pacific'

Then again, she was a Croft, perhaps Lara's family name still had some pull despite the fact her father was 'crazy'.

Peter didn't give it much more thought as he checked in and followed Sam up the ramp and on to the ship's deck. Sam frowned as she glanced at the heavy duffle bag Peter was carrying. Even though she had no idea what was in it, she could tell it was heavy based on the loud 'thud' it made when Peter placed it on the ground earlier when he checked in.

"Need any help with that?" she nodded towards the large bag.

Peter shook his head at this "Nah, I'm fine"

Sam rolled her eyes at this "Oh okay Hercules"

"Pfft, Hercules?" Peter said with a scoff "Please, I'm way stronger than that guy"

"Oh really?" Sam asked with a laugh

"Oh yeah" Peter said as he tapped his arm "All this, O' natural, not the result of my father being the God of Man whores"

Sam broke out into a full blown laugh at this while the two made their way inside the ship "God of Man whores?"

"Hey, almost every story Zeus is in usually involves him sleeping with someone" Peter said with a shrug as he and Sam did their best to avoid getting bumped into by various other crew members running back and forth as they got ready to set sail.

"Fair enough" Sam said as they finally came to Peter's assigned quarters.

The young Japanese-Portuguese woman glanced inside Peter's cabin "Wow, your own room. Not many people have those on this thing"

"Perks of knowing the first mate I guess" Peter said as he dropped his duffle bag on the bed and placed his backpack on top of it "Plus, I paid Wilt pretty well, so that helps I guess"

Sam hummed at this while she watched Peter inspect the room "So, you mentioned about studying East Asian culture earlier"

Peter nodded at this "Yeah, I did"

"Any reason why?" she asked as she leaned against the door.

"It's something new and different compared to what I normally do my work in" Peter said as he checked to see if the faucet's for the sink worked.

"And what does your work normally enthrall?" Sam asked.

"Egyptian history and mythology" Peter said as he took a quick glance at his reflection in the mirror "I have a PhD in both"

Sam's brow quirked at this "Egypt?"

"Yeah" Peter said with a nod "Came across some records a few months back that showed that Egypt's trade, specifically that of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, may have gone much farther than Arabia"

"What makes you say that?" Sam asked with interest.

"Found some artifacts in a old Pharaoh's tomb that dated back to the Zhou Dynasty and vice versa" Peter said as he went to sit on his bed next to his bags "After that, I began to dabble in more East Asian history and culture and... here I am"

"Cool" Sam said with a nod.

"Yep" Peter said as he sat back up "So, what brings you on this lovely little quest into one of the most dangerous areas on Earth in the form of the Dragon's Triangle"

"Oh, just to keep my friend company, and make sure she get's the credit that she deserves when she finds Yamatai" Sam revealed.

Peter hummed at that "So I take it your friend was the one that put this whole thing together?"

"For the most part, yeah" Sam said with a nod "Well her, James Whitman and what connections he still has and my family's money"

"Whitman?" Peter said with a frown at hearing the man's name "He's here too?"

"Not a fan?" Sam asked with a snort.

"Have you met the guy?" Peter said with wide eyes "That mustache of his is a blight on humanity alone!"

"That's a mustache?" Sam said with surprise "I thought it was a giant caterpillar that got stuck to his face"

"Might as well, that thing has more fuzz then a peach" Peter said with a smirk.

Sam laughed at this before they both heard a man call Sam's name. The young beauty glanced in the direction of the voice before she responded "Yeah, Jonah?"

"Need a little help here!" he called back with some strain in his voice.

"Be right there!" she responded before she glanced at Peter "Sorry, gotta run"

"No worries, gotta unpack anyway" Peter said as he stood up "see you around I guess?"

"Probably" Sam responded as she turned to leave before she stopped "Oh and welcome aboard!"

"Thank you" Peter said with a friendly smile as Sam left to go help the man named Jonah.

Peter waited a few minutes before his grin turned into a annoyed scowl as he got up and quickly went to close the door before locking it. Once that was done, he made his way back to his duffle bag and searched it until he pulled out a satellite phone. He typed in a number he's long since memorized and held the device up to his ear and waited for someone to answer. After a few moments, he was met with the voice of his advisor slash boss slash liaison to Trinity since Peter doesn't officially work with them like the crazed hack Konstantin. At least Peter thinks he is, guy had more issues than Peter had hours put into his PhD, and he put a lot of hours into it.

"Ah Peter, good to hear from you. I assume that you've arrived at the Endurance?"

"Arrived, checked in and now starting to unpack" Peter said as he began to remove a few items from his bag "Ship's about to leave in the hour"

"Good, good..." the man said in a pleased tone "And have you made contact with Croft yet?"

"No, but met her best friend" Peter said as he pulled out a dark red custom made Kevlar mask outfitted with black shatter resistant lenses and a built in satellite phone. He quickly placed it back in the bag and pulled out a few articles of clothes for him to wear.

"You can tell a lot about someone based on the company they keep" the voice stated.

'Yeah, I've noticed' Peter thought with a silent chuckle "So am I just going to be watching her or do you want me to... deal with her?"

"For now, watch her. Report in when it's possible" the voice said.

"Anything specific you want me to look out for while on this little trip?" Peter asked with a frown "You guys looking to recruit her or something?"

"No, we merely want you to keep watch over her and if possible, see if this 'Yamatai' is real and if it is..." the voice trailed off, causing Peter to roll his eyes at them.

"And see if there's anything there of value to Trinity, yeah I know the drill. If there is, great try and get it and impossible, destroy it" Peter said with a sigh.

"If it comes to that" the voice said.

'Which it almost always does' Peter thought with a grim smirk as he pulled out a few other things from his bag. He paused in his unpacking as he felt and heard the ship's engines come to life "We're starting to leave the port now"

"Understood" the voice said "I expect your routine check up call in three days"

"Yes mom" Peter said in a sarcastic drawl.

The voice murmured something under their breath to low for Peter to pick up on, even with his enhance hearing before they ended the call. Peter snorted at this before he looked back into his bag and was met with the chest portion of his uniform staring up at him, a crimson red with small black Hieroglyphics packed closely together that were shaped into that of a spider. The Hieroglyphics themselves told the story of an ancient Spider god from the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Worship of the deity wasn't very wide spread, the highest concentration of it's worship was in the Eastern Dessert, just north of Thebes.

Peter stared at the chest piece for several more minutes in thoughtful silence before he removed the last of the items he needed from the bag before he zipped it back up and placed it under his bed before he reached for his backpack and began to unpack it as well, being mindful to keep the files he had on the crew stowed away in a small sleeve in his backpack.

...

"For the last time Sam, I don't care" Lara Croft moaned as she and Sam were leaning against a railing on the starboard side of the Endurance, watching as the vessel pulled out of Sydney and made it's way into the Pacific Ocean.

She was currently dressed in a greyish blue tank top on over a white tank top, tan cargo pants, and a pair of black laced up boots. She had a small jade pendant around her neck, her 'first find' she would often joke and a memory of happier times.

"But Lara, the guy was like super cute! Like that Greek guy who's supposed to be really good looking cute!" Sam whined before she tried to show the footage of the 'cutie' as Sam had taken to calling him.

"You mean Adonis?" Lara said with a tired grin as she watched the Australian coast begin to shrink as the Endurance headed farther and farther out to sea.

"Yeah, that guy" Sam said with a nod before she gave Lara a coy look "Plus he's into archeology, just like you!"

That peeked Lara's interest as she finally turned to her friend "Really?"

Sam nodded at this, happy she finally got her friend at least curious about the man "Yeah, but he's more Ancient Egypt. You know, Pharaohs and the pyramids and mummies"

Lara hummed at that "Pretty diverse field to study in"

"Really, I thought it was kinda cliché" Sam said with a shrug "I mean when you think of an archeologist, you think Egyptian tombs and stuff"

"Actually, people tend to think of dinosaurs" Lara corrected with a grin.

Sam laughed at this before she found the moment where she first spotted Peter on the dock with her camera "Aha, here he is!"

She held the camera in front of Lara, forcing the young British beauty to look at the screen to see...

"Wow, that's a good angle of his stomach" Lara teased as she noticed that Sam's camera was pointing at the man's torso almost the entire time.

"Wait what?" Sam said before she frowned "Dammit... give me a second, I swear I got a look of his face on this thing somewhere"

Lara shook her head at Sam's antics as she went back to watching the Endurance sail farther and farther out to sea while Sam searched through her footage for, in her own words, the future Mister Croft.

'Though tradition dictate's that I take his last name, not the other way around' Lara thought with bemusement as she glanced up at the sky and watched the clouds slowly float by.

"Finally, found it!" Sam beamed with pride as she showed Lara the image of Peter's face "See, cute right?"

Lara gave the image a brief look and almost went back to watching the ocean before she did a double take on the man. Her eyes scanned his visage for a few moments before she spoke in a low whisper "Holy shit..."

"I know, pretty hot huh?" Sam said with a smirk.

"What, n not that!" Lara said with a shake of her head as she pointed towards Peter's face "That's Peter Parker, the Peter Parker!"

"Come again?" Sam said with confusion.

"He's one of the most fore most experts on Ancient Egyptian mythology, he's discovered in the last three years more ancient tombs and burial sites and long lost stories and traditions in Ancient Egypt's mythology and culture than men and women with a good decade more field experience in the past twenty years!" Lara explained with growing excitement as she listed off a few achievements that one of her idols has accomplished "He was the one that found the Temple of Semerkhet last year!"

"Sooo he's a big deal?" Sam said.

Lara gave Sam a deadpanned look "Sam, he's like... he's like if Indiana Jones was real but didn't use a whip and lived in modern times instead of the thirties and forties"

"Don't forget about the fifties!" Sam said with a snort.

"Don't talk about that movie, please" Lara groaned before she looked at Peter's face with a curious frown "What's he doing here though?"

Sam shrugged "Said one of the crewmembers Wilt invited him and he's been starting to dabble into East Asian cultures and history for a while now"

"Really?" Lara said.

"Yeah" Sam said before she wiggled her eye brows at Lara "Maybe you can give him a hands on crash course?"

Lara stared at Sam with a blank expression before she spoke in a equally blank tone "Yeah, no... no"

"UGH your no fun!" Sam groaned out.

"I'm not on this expedition for fun or to hook up with anyone" Lara said with a eye roll.

"Well maybe if you tried a few of those things, you'd make this whole thing are the more enjoyable for yourself" Sam said with a frown.

"I'll be sure to remember that" Lara said dryly as she stared down at the water with a distant expression "This expedition could make my mark on the world. Show everyone that I'm not some rich girl that's the daughter to some cracked pot explorer who's obsessed with conspiracy theories"

"Hey, your dad wasn't that bad" Sam said in defense of her friend's late father.

While she doesn't know much about the guy aside from the vague comments made by Lara, he didn't sound as bad as the news made him out to be when he was still alive.

"Apparently he was bad enough to eat a bullet instead of look after to me like he promised my mother" Lara said coldly before she let out a sigh and pushed herself off the railing "I'm going to go lie down for a bit, see you at dinner"

"Yeah..." Sam said as she watched her friend slink back into the ship with a frown. She glanced down at the camera in her hands before she switched it on and pointed it towards herself "Well, first day on the expedition and my attempts to get Lara laid or open up a little more have been met with failure. Better luck tonight I guess..."

...

Lara removed the band that held up her pony tail and let her hair come on done as she slipped into the room she shared with Sam and quickly removed her boots before she climbed into her rack and collapsed on the surprisingly soft mattress with a huff. So far the Expedition was going... well it wasn't going bad, but it wasn't go as well as she hoped either.

Their funding was cut dramatically thanks to the cancelation of James Whitman's show, forcing Lara and Sam to use their own money to fund it. It wasn't too bad, Lara had plenty of money to spare thanks to her family's fortune, same with Sam. The issue was that a great number of the crew were now a little pissed that thy wouldn't be getting as much as they were originally supposed to. And Whitman's personality, something that quickly destroyed any admiration Lara had for the man, was already beginning to get on everyone's nerves and they weren't even a hundred miles from the coast!

Still, there were a few good things about this expedition that Lara took comfort in. The fist two was Sam and Roth, the latter being something of a father figure to Lara in her own father's less than grand days alive. The other being the famous Peter Parker would be partaking in the expedition as well. While Lara was still a little skeptical on just why the man was here, she won't deny that she's elated that her idol would be close by for her to finally speak to. Perhaps he'd be willing to bring her along on his next expedition to Egypt, every time the man goes there he always ends up discovering something new.

'Assuming this whole thing pans out and doesn't destroy what little, if any credibility I have' Lara thought with a sigh as she placed her arm over her eyes before she inhaled deeply and exhaled just as loudly 'Here's hoping everything works out well...'

...

And done.
