In the way of age, Peter's around his 20's and the costume is based off of the TASM2 suit for now.

To understand how this story started, let's start at the beginning one last time. You know the story of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. The kid who was bitten by a radioactive spider and lost his parents at a young age and went to live with his uncle in New York. But when his uncle was shot, he went to live with his aunt May in Central City and made friends with Ronnie Raymond and Cisco Ramon. Over the years, Peter has been using his powers to keep people safe. After all, with great power, comes great responsibility. But one day, his responsibility got a whole lot weirder.

2014

Peter is doing his normal patrol around the neighborhood while on his lunch break from his day job, Mercury labs, when he hears a report coming in.

"Backup requested for the northwest Central City bank. Robbery in progress." The radio tells him and Peter makes his way towards the crime. "I have a feeling I know who's behind this one." Peter states to himself, this being the second robbery of the week he wouldn't be able to stop. The Mardon brothers.

Peter comes swinging in fast enough to see a car driving off. "Ugh, not this time!" Peter states as he starts swinging after the car. The car starts going faster as the web head approaches so it must be theirs. Peter swings ahead of the car and tries stopping it when the brothers start shooting at him so he leaps to avoid them only to be run over by their car. "Looks like he's finally another stepped on bug!" Peter hears one of the brothers say as he's stuck underneath the car. "Leave the whips to me." Peter mumbles to himself as he webs onto a post and the bumper of the car and it gets him free, but they got away in the process.

"I hate Those brothers." Peter states as he hangs from the post and sees someone running in a hurry to get somewhere. "Running late. Been there." Peter states when he gets a text from his friend Ronnie.

Hey confirming if you're gonna be here for the activation of the accelerator. And you know, you have no bug problems.; R-man The text reads and Peter realizes the particle accelerator is supposed to be turned on tonight and he almost completely forgot about it. He's just happy to have a friend like Ronnie to keep reminding him things he's sure to forget.

Ever since they were in college, Ronnie learnt about Peter's abilities, it was by accident that he learnt. They were out one day and there was someone who was going to be mugged, or worse. So Peter took quick action and decided it was time to let his friend in on the secret. Once he stopped the mugger and got back, he could see Ronnie and the victim (who he learnt later was named Caitlin Snow) talking and seemed to be getting along so he left them, but kept a safe distance to make sure nothing happened.

Back to current day, Ronnie and Caitlin have been dating ever since and he recently asked her to marry him during their trip to Niagra Falls and she agreed. On Peter's side, Ronnie has helped him create his newest suit since they had access to labs, but never went too far with the idea. Ronnie never told Caitlin about Peter's powers since that's Peter quickly shoots him a text saying he's going to be there. I'll be there.-PP he says and sees he better get going or he's going to be in trouble since his lunch break ends in one minute.

At the scene of the crime, Barry Allen is running late himself to get to said crime, after returning from Star City.

"What have we got?" Captain Singh asks detective Joe West and his partner. "Perps took the bank, shot out the cameras, and as a chaser, killed the security guard over there." Joe explains and hands him a picture of the Mardon brothers. "I've got units kicking in doors of known Mardon brothers associates. Apparently Spider-Man gave them a chance but they lost him."

"CSI been over it?" Singh asks him and sees he's not there. "Where's Allen?" He then asks.

Mercury Labs. Peter makes it back and starts going back to work and slides in trough the window and hide his costume under one of the lab coats in his lab. "Okay, Peter. Just get through the rest of the day and meet up with Ronnie at S.T.A.R. Labs. Simple." Peter tells himself as he straightens his hair that was standing after ripping his mask off.

-

What Peter didn't know was he left a strand of his webbing at the scene of the crime where Barry Allen discovered it and brought it with him to the CCPD, where he could learn more about it, even maybe learn who he really is. Don't get him wrong, he was full on team Spider-Man despite him getting two points of view around the police, most believed he's doing what he thinks is right.

That and he's been making their jobs easier and bringing down the crime rate in the neighborhoods. But he's been chasing anything that could explain what happened that night in his home. And maybe Spider-Man is the stepping stone he needs to get started. All he needs to do is learn how he got his abilities and maybe that could lead him to find out what really happened.

"Okay, I am ready to see this atom smasher smashing." The voice of Iris West says as Barry looks up to see his childhood friend/crush. "There was a shooting today." Barry tells her and he starts going over more over more evidence. "Your dad needs me to process some evidence, which means I don't know if we're going to make it to S.T.A.R. Labs." He explains to her since he knows Spider-Man's webbing dissolves quickly so he needs to get as much information about it as possible and to do that, he has to get all his work done.

"But seeing this thing turn on is like your dream. Your sad, little nerdy dream." Iris states when she sees the webbing on his desk. "Is that...Spider-Man's web?" She asks and picks up the container holding it.

"Yeah, it was at the crime scene when I was looking over everything there. He was trying to chase the robbers." Barry explains to her as she looks over the fluid. "I thought Singh decided to let Spider-Man do his thing since half of the officers think he's doing good." Iris questions and wonders why he would have his webbing. "I mean, he leave notes to the people he stops that say your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. How bad can the guy be? Did you at least see what he looks like?" Iris asks Barry while chewing in a fry.

"No, I was late and he was nowhere to be found at the scene or anywhere. Why are you so obsessed with Spider-Man anyway?" Barry wonders, since ever since he showed up to Central City after a few years absences (Peter was in college and was out of the city and couldn't exactly keep showing up to fight crime until he had his future sorted) she doesn't stop talking about him.

"He wears a red and blue skintight costume, quips while fighting crime, has more muscle than you have actual arms." Iris starts listing as she grabs onto Barry's arm to prove her point. "Hands off my fries." Barry says, changing the subject off the Web Slinger. "I'm stress eating over my dissertation. We started selling cronuts at Jitters. I ate two today, if I don't graduate soon, I'm gonna be more muffin top than woman." Iris says and eats another one of his fries. "What is so important about this particle accelerator anyway?" She wonders, not understanding why everyone is excited about it.

"Harrison Wells' work in quantum theory is light years ahead of anything they're doing at CERN." Barry explains to her and see she doesn't understand anything he's saying. "You're doing that thing where you're not speaking English." Iris explains to him and Barry walks up to his white board and draws a dot.

"Imagine that that dot is everything the human race has ever learned until this moment." Barry explains and then drawls a big circle around the dot. "That is everything we could learn from the particle accelerator. It's a whole new way of looking at physics. It will literally change the way that we think about everything." Barry says enthusiastically with a huge smile on his face.

"You've gotta get yourself a girlfriend." Iris says while putting a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, leave him alone. He's working." Joe says as he walks into the labs and sees them when Barry's computers go off, revealing the results.

"Your test thingy is done." Iris states the obvious as Barry walks over to it and gets what he needs. "I think the Mardon brothers are hiding on a farm." Barry says while he pulls up a map to show where he's talking about. "The fecal matter I found on the street, it was cow manure, which contains traces of oxytetracycline. It's an antibiotic. There are four farms in the area that still use it in their feed." Barry then hands Joe the map to the locations. He puts away the web fluid information for him to look at at a later day.

"Dad, seeing as how Barry solved your poop problem, how about letting him go to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Iris asks her father and sees he's thinking about it for a second before deciding. "Fine. Go." Joe says and they run for the door.

Mercury labs, Peter gets off the clock and makes his way to S.T.A.R. Labs to meet up with his friends. "I'll see you tomorrow, dr. McPhee." Peter tells his boss on his way out. "Dr. Parker, have a good night." Christina, Peter's boss says as he leaves. "And have fun at the accelerator." She says as Peter leaves the building and runs down an alley and changes back into his suit to make it there faster. He puts his mask on and checks his webbing containers and shoots a web in the direction of S.T.A.R. Labs and makes his way.

-

Once he makes it to said location, he hears Harrison Wells finishing his speech and hear someone as he's changing out of the suit. "Those protesting the accelerator believe it could open a black hole in Central City." A woman's voice says and Peter doesn't recognize the voice so she's most likely one of the people there to see it turn on. "But is it not more likely to cause a benevolent phenomenon like a Higgs boson bridge?" She asks Wells and Peter also had that worry but trusts the people who invented it, since his best friend is one of those people.

"The only phenomenon that will occur this evening is one that has been calculated to the tiniest detail, to the tiniest decimal point." Wells says through a microphone, which is another reason Peter stayed back. His hyped senses are a blessing in some places, and a curse in others. "So You've foreseen every possible outcome?" The same woman asks Wells. "Yes, I have, Miss..?" "Mrs. Marlize DeVoe." The woman says and Peter could've sworn he heard that name before.

"DeVoe. I expect that would make the gentleman to your right you husband? Clifford DeVoe." Harrison says and states how big of a fan of him he is and Peter learns he knows him from some of his scientific magazines he reads. As he makes his way through the protesters of the accelerator he overheard DeVoe talking about delaying a plan and he makes his way to the entrance where he meets up with Ronnie.

"Mr. Spectacular himself." Ronnie mocks his friends theme song and shakes his hand. "You're just jealous that I actually have theme songs to choose from." Peter mocks him as they make it through the halls and past gorilla Grodd.

"Hey there, buddy." Peter says calmly to the gorilla as he growls at them. "I See he still has a grumpy attitude." Peter states as they walk towards the cortex. "You're sure dr. Wells is okay with me being here?" Peter asks Ronnie. "Yeah, man. In fact he asked if I was inviting you here today." Ronnie states to Peter who's amazed that Wells actually asked about him.

"Dr. Wells, the accelerator is primed and ready for particle injection." Cisco says as Caitlin and Wells enter the room. "I feel like I should say something profound like, "one small steel for man." All I can think of to say is I feel like I've waited for this day for centuries." Wells says as he finally turns on the accelerator and it activates and they wait for something to happen.

"That's it?" Cisco asks thinking more would happen. "You'd think there'd be, like, a loud bang." He explains. "If there was a loud bang, we'd all be in big trouble." Ronnie replies to his friend. "Take it from the guy who helped build it." Caitlin says with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we did it." Wells tells everyone as they cheer and clap and Wells opens that bottle. "Look at that, big man." Peter states while giving his friend a pat on his back when suddenly he sees the hairs on his hand stand straight and he looks over to Wells and sees the Champagne rising out of the bottle and he starts getting worried.

"Senses are tingling, aren't they?" Ronnie asks Peter as the drink falls to the floor and the alarms start blaring. "That answer your question?" Peter asks as a loud bang goes off. "I hate it when Cisco does that." Peter states to Ronnie. "Does What?" Ronnie asks. "He predicts the future without trying. Sometimes I have to remind myself he doesn't have powers." Peter explains as they start to see what the problem is.

"There's an anomaly in the core chamber." Cisco tells them as they see the information on the computers. "The ring's structural integrity is holding." Caitlin says from her computer.

"But it's started a chain reaction. The system is starting to collapse." Peter replies to them as he sees it happening on the monitors.

"We need to shut it down." Wells tells them.

"We can't ramp down the accelerator from here." Cisco says. "We need to do it manually."

"Me and Peter will do it." Ronnie suggests and Caitlin stops him.

"Ronnie, no!" Caitlin states.

"I'm the lead engineer. I know how to operate the shutdown valve. Cait, I have to go." Ronnie tells her and quickly kisses her and he and Peter race to the core of the accelerator.

Once they've reached the core of the accelerator, Ronnie opens the doors and turns to Peter. "Okay, man, you gotta stay here. We've only got a few minutes before this thing blows, and if I'm not back in time, you need to initiate the lockdown." Ronnie explains to Peter and he's not okay with that plan.

"No, I'm not locking you in there. If it closes, there's no reopening." Peter protests to him. "Peter, if you don't seal off the blast, everyone in this city will die, including Cisco and Caitlin." Ronnie explains to him. "Then let me go, I'm faster." Peter states, knowing he could do it twice as fast as Ronnie could.

"And what if you don't make it back? The city looses Spider-Man." Ronnie informs Peter, knowing how much hope his friend gives the city and won't allow him to just die. "And what if you don't?" Peter asks, playing his game. "Spider-Man looses his friend, not to mention Caitlin looses you." Peter states since he's been his friend over all of the years.

"Peter, we don't have time to argue about this! Now, promise me." Ronnie tells him, knowing he will keep it if it's a promise and he agrees, knowing they're wasting time like he said. "Set your watch. Two minutes, if I'm not here, close it." Ronnie says and runs inside the accelerator.

Peter just stands there anxiously, hoping he makes it back. He wouldn't know what to tell the others if he did die, or got injured and was trapped inside. There's no way he was gonna risk the safety of the city by running in after him and breaking his promise. He must've really zoned out because in no time at all, his watch starts beeping and he sees his two minutes are up.

Peter watches and waits for a couple of more seconds and doesn't see him coming. He knows he's going to regret this, and reaches over and activates lockdown. The door starts to closes slowly and there's no sign of Ronnie. As the doors close, he wonders if he might've been hurt or trapped and was unconscious in there. As all of these what if's enter his head, he gets angry at himself and slams his fist against the doors.

A minute or so passes when his senses pick someone approaching him and he sees Caitlin running in. "Where's Ronnie? Peter, where is he?" Caitlin asks him in complete panic and he doesn't know how to tell him.

"He's still inside." Peter decides to go with saying not beating the bush as she reaches him. "What? Open the door." Caitlin tells him. "I can't, he made me put it into lockdown." Peter explains to her. "We have to get him out of there or he'll die." Caitlin says when the radio on the wall goes off and Peter hears Ronnie. "Peter, can you hear me?" Ronnie asks from the other side. "Ronnie, it's me!" Caitlin shouts while tearing up.

-

Ronnie is against the other side of the door. "Caitlin." Ronnie says as he avoids the sparks flying. "Is Peter there?" Ronnie asked. "Yeah, man, I'm here. Talk to me." Peter pleads to his friend. "I adjusted the magnets to redirect the beam to try and vent the system so the blast goes up and not out." Ronnie tells him and Peter knows he has to get his side done.

-

Peter knows what he has to do to stop the explosion and runs off leaving Caitlin with the radio. "Peter's working on it." Caitlin informs Ronnie and starts to think. "There has to be another way out of there. You have to find it." She tells him. "Cait, the chain reaction, I can't reverse it. The doors need to stay shut to protect you." Ronnie tells her as a flash of energy starts flying through the accelerator towards him. "Caitlin, whatever happens..."

He goes silent and doesn't finish speaking and they know what that means. "Ronnie?" Caitlin asks and breaks down right there and Peter comes back and is stuck in shock at what his friend did. He sees Caitlin crying and does what he can to comfort her knowing there's nothing they could do now except be there for her.

-

Four weeks later...

The service for Ronnie was memorable, more than a few tears were shed for Ronnie at his funeral. After the explosion, everything changed. S.T.A.R. Labs was shut down, hundreds of others were either injured or killed in the explosion, and more. Cisco and Caitlin are watching over someone who was put into a coma after being struck by lightning. Peter himself hasn't been the same after his best friend died. Spider-Man hasn't made an appearance in a while and it seems the city no longer cares or dreadfully worried about what happened to him.

For Peter, who's visiting his friend's tombstone again, he doesn't know if he should dawn the mask again. But he knows he needs help to be the hero of this city and the new age and decides to call an old friend he made. (Friend being a little one sided in this case)

His phone rings when someone picks up on the other end. "Hey, it's Peter Parker. I know you're dealing with some things, but I could use some help dealing with something and you're kinda the only guy I know who can manage his emotions. Maybe a few weeks, you could teach me some skills." Peter responds to his questions. "Thanks. I owe you one, Oliver." Peter tells Oliver Queen, or as he knows him the Vigilante and hangs up his phone and heads off to get everything prepared for him to head to Starlight City.
