"SPIDER-MAN'S NAME IS PETER PARKER."

There was a very audible gasp from the large crowds that surrounded the man perched onto a lamp post. Everyone's phone was out, snapping pictures of the masked vigilante. There were too many people that were shouting at him. It was suffocating.

"Murderer! Vigilante! Fake!"

He was shocked that he couldn't even comprehend what was happening. It was noisy and chaotic. The news kept on playing over and over again. His secret was out.

In an instant, his spider-tingle began alerting him. His look turned to the underground entrance that was being horded by dozens of people. In the center, he noticed the brown-haired girl that was being asked hundreds of questions. He knew he had to do something.

Swinging into the middle of the chaos, he tried to direct the people away from them. From what he had learned, he should have known that they weren't going to go away.

"Guys, cut it out! This is a misunderstanding!" Peter shouted at the group of people trying to push him inward.

MJ had gotten closer enough that she nagged on his shoulder. "Pet— I mean, Spider-Man! What's happening?!"

"Are you really Peter Parker? Are you just a high-schooler? Is Steve Rogers really on the moon?" These questions were asked by the public.

Peter grabbed MJ's waist and aimed to the building nearby, "We're leaving! Sorry fellow New-Yorkers!

"SPIDER-MAN!" The crowd shouted.

As the chaos ensuing in New York continued, Peter and MJ tried to get far away from all of it as possible. They swung in the direction of where the news vans weren't going to. It was a hard task, as the skylines began filling with multiple helicopters. They were trying to get into tight spaces; as long as they got a good shot of Spider-Man.

MJ closed her eyes and dug her face into Peter's suit. It was like she was mumbling something.

"Whe—where are you taking us?!"

"Your dad's place!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"What—?!" Peter almost felt hurt, "I thought your dad likes me?!"

"Yeah, well, not anymor—!"

Out of nowhere, a helicopter came out of the corner and nearly bumped into them. Instead, it cut the web that they were connected to and were in a free fall. Instinctively, Peter shot a web at the bridge's rope. It almost ripped Peter's body apart. The force of the sudden change in motion made him feel sick.

To recover, he pulled on the web and they were both sent on top of the bridge. They balanced on top of it. Peter leaned forward, trying to take a breather.

"You okay?" MJ held onto his back as he tried to let out as much as he could.

"Yeah, yeah... I'm okay." Peter looked up, three helicopters began circling them.

MJ stood strong, not feeling scared by the situation. To keep balance, Peter let MJ hold onto him.

"GUYS! THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING!"

"This is the Daily Bugle." A man from the helicopter spoke out in a pre-recorded voice, "That's right folks, Spider-Man is Peter Parker. A high-school teenager from Midtown School of Science and Technology. A measly 17 years old, he is the teenager that participated in the Battle of Earth. A associate of Tony Stark, he is directly affiliated with the Avengers."

"TH— THAT'S NOT IT! I'M NOT PETER PARKER! BECK WAS LYING!"

"What do you say, Parker? What can you say about killing Beck, the world's greatest hero?"

"I DIDN'T KILL BECK! I NEVER DID!"

MJ held his hand, much to Peter's surprise. "You have to calm down, Peter. You know they're not going to believe you. We can't hide it anymore."

"This... this all doesn't make sense. I—I didn't mean for this to happen."

"I know this is all crazy, but you need to calm down. It won't help if we're going to panic..."

"I..." Even with the Spider-Man mask, it was like his eyes were staring right into MJ. He was lost and hurt, but he needed to carry on. He had no choice. "need to get you out of here. You're holding tight?"

"Yeah, what fo—!"

Spotting an opening in-between the helicopters, Peter quickly grabbed MJ and swung them out of the way.

The helicopters were taken by surprise, as they couldn't turn as quickly as the web-slinger. As Peter went through the alleyways, the sound of rotating blades became much more faint.

He needed to get out of there. He ruined his life. He ruined MJ's life. He ruined their lives. This was the thing he feared the most, and now the thing he feared the most was that the one's he loved the most are in utmost danger.

—The world now knew: Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
