"My name is Peter Benjamin Parker Romanoff. I was adopted by Natasha Romanoff when i was a month old after my birth family had died in a plane crash and lived a pretty normal life,until i was bitten by a radioactive spider while on a field trip to Oscorp industries and soon after i found myself with spider like powers. I soon met the Avengers thanks to my mother having her avenger friend Tony Stark have be tested for my powers. I soon came up with this idea of wanting to be a hero and was given a highly enhanced spider stark suit by my mother and Tony Stark. Now i'm SPIDEY. Well right now i'm more like Sandy......really......really........really....Sandy".Peter had been buried in sand and kept on being sucked into the sand."Fun fact:My day did not start out with this much sand. Un-fun fact: Sand in spandex? Not pleasant".

-Earlier that day-

Peter had rushed around his home as Natasha had watched him and chuckled."Big day at school,Peter?" Natasha had asked her fifteen year old son as he grabbed his backpack."Pretty packed yeah"."You okay,tesoro?(italian to english translation:Sweetheart)" Natasha had asked as she looked at her son. Peter looked at his mother and sighed before responding to her question."I got my first session with my tutor today". Natasha smirked a bit."Who's the lucky girl?"."MOM!!" Peter had yelled embarrassed as his face turned red."Kidding kidding. Although that explains why you changed your shirt five times this morning" Natasha had said as she ruffled Peter's hair."Those other shirts wert dirty....and stupid" Peter had said as he crossed his arms causing Natasha to chuckle."Peter,honey you're going to be fine. Just be yourself"Natasha had said as Peter looked at her."Great advice mom"."But which self....my nerdy self?"

"Broke self?"

"Spidey self?"

"Dork self?"

"Romanoff....earth to Romanoff". Peter had sat in the cafeteria next to a boy with brown hair and blue eyes and across them sat a boy of filipino descent with black hair and brown eyes and a girl with messy brown hair and hazel eyes."Hey loser" The girl had said as she tapped Peter on the head with her book causing the teen to snap out of his thoughts."Yeah Michelle?" Peter had said to the girl."His brain still works" Michelle had said a bit sarcastically as she begun to read her book again while the two boys looked at Peter. “So Pete,nervous about your session with Gwen today?”the brown haired boy had asked Peter. “Nope….not at all Harry….ok maybe a i’m a bit nervous” he had said as he looked at the brunette boy known as Harry. “By a bit you mean alot. Like a tsunami of nervousness”said the raven haired boy. “No Ned….it’s more like an earthquake of nervousness”Peter had said to the boy known as Ned. “Just keep calm and don’t be stupid’’ Michelle had said as she looked up from her book to speak. “Yeah...i will…i’m a chill guy”. “Yeah and they said we were the losers of the school. Well they were wrong.” Harry said proudly before fell out his seat by accident causing Peter,Ned,and Michelle to look at him as other students saw this and laughed as Harry got up embarrassed before sitting back down. “Please tell me no one saw that?”. “Too late. You guys are losers” Michelle said to the three boys before she went back to reading.

Peter was about to speak until he saw Gwen come over to him. “Hey. you ready for your tutoring session?”. Peter simply looked at her and nodded to her question. “Then let’s go” Gwen had said as she grabbed Peter’s hand causing him to blush as she led him to the school library.

“Be Yourself. Be yourself. Be Yourself”. Peter had sat in the library with Gwen as the two had two piles of history and biology books on the table in front of them.“Say something clever.Say something cool”. Peter had looked at Gwen as he put the paper down and raised his hands in the air.“YOU SHALL PASS!!” Peter had yelled in a gandalf voice causing Gwen to look at him a bit confused.“Nailed it. Or made a lord of the rings reference. Nerdy self: activated”.Gwen chuckled a bit. “Gandalf rocks. Okay you held up your end of the bargain,now it’s my turn to tutor you in history”. Peter smiled as Gwen looked at him. “She likes lord of the rings?! Thanks for leveling me up,Nerdy self!”.After school had ended Peter had changed into his suit and begun to web swing around new york. “Gwen likes Gandalf! I like Gandalf! We like Gandalf! I wonder if-AH! Spider sense!”.Peter had seen a bank with a shattered window and a flipped over police cruiser. He landed onto the side of a building and took out a camera from his backpack. “My last Spidey selfie got over a zillion likes on insta. There’s gotta be a way to make money on these Spidey photos.I can’t make any money as Spidey,but maybe Peter Parker Romanoff can”. Peter then web the camera to the building as he set a timer on it. “Broke self: Deactivated!”. Peter then webswung into the bank and saw sand scattered all around the floor. He looked around the area as he activated the spider search light mode on his web shooters. “Okay….looks like someone had a day at the beach ”. Peter then felt his spider sense go off as he saw the sand move before he was hit back by a giant fist made of sand causing him to be sent flying out of the building and into a police cruiser. “Okay...ow….that hurt” Peter had said as he looked up saw the sand begin to form a man. “Whoa….okay dude made out of sand…..of course i would be the one to fight him”. The man looked at Peter and growled as the teen got back up to his feet. “Hey uh...sandales...long way from the beach huh?”. The man growled as he turned on of his fist into a giant hammer made of sand and struck Peter hard in the chest causing the teen to be sent flying into a wall before falling on top to a car. “Okay...OWW!! I’m never going to the beach after this”. The man grinned as he walked over to the teen as his hand formed into a an axe as he spoke sinisterly.“So you're the webcrawler….you’ll regret the day you crossed paths with Flint Marko! The Sandman!”. He then used his axe hand to attack Peter only for the teen to dodge the attack causing the car to be sliced in half.

Peter then shot a web and webswung away as Sand man growled and followed. “Gotta get him away from people and since all he wants to do his kill me. Then getting him away from people will be easy. I just need to get him into the right environment”. Peter felt his spider sense go off as he was hit midair by a huge fist made of sand while Sandman laughed sinisterly. The teen fell through the air and landed into a construction side and got up as he groaned in pain. “Perfect more sand.Like endless sand”. Peter then got up as he felt his spider sense go off before being consumed by sand as Sand man appeared and smirked evilly .“He’s burying me,but don’t worry i can get out of this! I know i can! Probably….Doubtful self:activated.Ah who am i kidding,that one is always activated!All right. Back to being drowned in sand!”. Peter had struggled to get out of the sand. “Mom….if you could only see me now….your little spider finally got his beach day”. Peter then got an idea as he switched his webshooters to hydro web mode. “Hey Sandals! You like water!!” he then fired off multiple webs made of water into the sand causing Sandman to roar as Peter broke out of the Sand. “I WILL KILL YOU BUG!!!” Sand man had shouted at the teen as Peter landed on a metal support beam. “Hey hold that pose for me!” Peter then switched his webshooters to cement web mode and fired off multiple cement webs at Sandman encasing the villain in stone as cops got to the sight. “Don’t worry guys. He’s not going anywhere. Literally”. “That’s the problem. We can’t move him!” A cop had shouted at Peter as the teen shrugged. “Right...um….”Peter then shot a web and web swung away “Bye!”.“Exit emergency self:Activated”. Peter webswung home and changed back into his normal clothes and opened the front door as he poured sand out of his sneaker. “So.Much.Sand. I’m gonna need like ten showers”. Peter then entered the house and entered the kitchen where he saw his mother watching a video of his fight with Sandman. “Hey mom”. “Hi sweetie” Natasha had said as she looked up from the video “I see that you had a pretty busy day today”. “Yep” Peter had said with a grin as his mother ruffled his hair. “So how was your study session today”.Peter grinned widely. “It was great and that sand dude was easier to take down than the scorpion guy(more info in son of black widow chapter 5 on that). And i did what you told me to do,Mom. I was myself today” Peter smirked as his mother smiled at him.“Every single one of them”.
