Chapter 1 Do not own Iron Man or Spiderman

"Tony, you're going to have to do some press"

"That's for later." Tony and Pepper sat on the couch in the living room.

"No, you need to get the word out now", she replied.

" I'm pretty sure the word is out. Stark Tower is in the heart of Manhattan", he said with ease.

"You know what I mean", she sighed.

Tony thought about it for a second, he really did want the tower to be a spectacle, but he hated the press. "Uhhmm, am I allowed to think about it when we get to New York?" he said, Pepper criss-crossed her feet on the couch and smiled softly "Sure".

He smiled, satisfied, and slouched further down into the cushion of the couch. Pepper pulled out her phone "However, I scheduled the plane to take us to NY September 12".

Tony looked at her and frowned, "But, isn't tomorrow September 12?"

"It is isn't it", she said in a sweetly innocent voice, looking up from her phone.

"You set me up for this, Potts", he sighed, shutting he eyes and leaning his head.

She laughed and reached over to kiss her cheek, "How about I make the press conference at 10, you get to sleep in 2 hours, huh?". Tony opened his eyes and looked at her and mouthed "thank you". The car parked a few yards away from the Stark Industries plane and they were ready for take- off.

My friends and Aunt Mae call me Peter, but the rest of New York knows me by Spider-man. Some months ago, I fought a man who used to work with my dad. My father and his employees called him Dr. Curtis Connors, but the rest of New York knows him by the Lizard. Dr .Connors injured his arm in a blast, serving our country, and it had to amputated. Eventually, he became obsessed with reptile regeneration and studied reptilian biology extensively. My father was helping him create a serum with reptilian DNA, to get his arm back, but when my died, he felt hopeless without my father's knowledge, and tried to finish the formula himself. It failed every time he tried. I come into this picture when I gave him a Decay Algorithm formula I made, in search of finding out more about my dad. But, my formula went wrong also and he turned into this lizard, bigger than life, living in the sewers. Dr. Connors tried to spread it throughout New York with the idea of saving people. I didn't get that, still don't how could you try to help people by turning them into lizards, well, he did live up to the name 'Mad scientist', or so it says in the NY Times. My girlfriend helped me stop him. Her name's Gwen, Gwen Stacy. She's the police chief's daughter and he helped me, too. He died, though. I didn't know him that well- considering the argument we go in- but he seemed like her Uncle Ben. She's been grieving a lot, but talking to my friend Harry has helped. His father's Mr. Osborne, though, I knew him a bit better as the Green Goblin. When we fighting once, he was stabbed in the chest by his blade, the doctors' fixed him up the best they could, but he came down with a terminal illness and they're still trying to keep by making another serum. And Mary Jane's been in the loop, too. Since MJ and Harry's been talking they've gotten closer and he finally mustered up the courage to ask her out. They've been going out for 2 months, and honestly I think it's a change for Harry he's had his mind more occupied. For the last 5 months he's been really angry at that guy Tony Stark, it would be better if he'd just make-

"Aw, man", Peter looked up to the screen in Times Square. The headlines read "September 25 be there to see Spider-man presented with the key to the city in Central Park". Peter looked around and noticed everybody was spreading the word. A person on each corner was handing out flyers with New York heart Spider-man t-shirts, and kids running up to the circle of other kids reading Spider-man comics. Peter walked to the corner, where a group was, waiting to cross the road when a woman walked up to him and gave him a flyer. Peter smiled and said "Oh, thanks, thanks so much".

Peter stood there waiting to cross the road when he overheard two old men talking about the paper

"That Spider-man, he's a good guy", one of the old men said, looking at the front page of the newspaper.

"You've got that right Stan", the other man said.

The man named Stan pointed to the picture under the headlines, "You see this, he saved the people in that senior home Thursday when it caught on fire".

"Hey Stan, didn't you live in that home before your grand kids took you out of there?" , the man asked, brows coming down.

"Yep, and I'm glad. I'm not about to have some man in spandex fly me across on one of those webs and have me on the front page", the old men started laughing.

Peter chuckled and looked up to see the group was halfway on the other side of the road. He started walking across the street in a hurry and almost got hit by a limo. "Hey, watch it", he yelled, and walked the rest of the way.

Please review, tell me how it was. Thank you for reading, next chapter coming up.
