Ricky carefully watched Peter as they walked down the sidewalk. He was quiet, too quiet for his liking. He cleared his throat. "Yo, Pete? You're not still pissed about what happened at school right?"

Peter turned back to look at me. "What do you think?" He continued walking as Ricky stopped in his tracks. Turning around to see if there was any witnesses, he grabbed his shoulder.

"Peter, I apologized to you and everyone else. What else can I do? I don't want to die, you're really going to kill your brother? I'm only seventeen!"

"Woah, woah, what makes you think I was going to kill you?" He frowned, then suddenly laughed at how afraid he actually was. "Ricky, I say I'm going to kill you but I don't actually mean what I say! You really thought I was gonna-Is that why you seemed off the whole way here?"

Ricky let out a deep breath. "Well if you're not going to kill me, why are we out here late at night and with no one around? You have a bag too, what do you have in there?"

Peter chuckled, looking both ways before unzipping his backpack. "I have my old suit."

He frowned. "What are you doing with your old suit?"

"Follow me and you'll see." Peter said, disappearing into the alley.

Ricky was the first person to ever know Peter was Spider-Man. It wasn't intentional, Peter had just decided to crawl on the ceiling without realizing that Ricky was in there, watching his every move. And he couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation for it.

Ricky was now wearing the suit Peter had made when he was sixteen, feeling embarrassed. "I don't even know why we're doing this. Why exactly are we doing this?" He saw that Peter had gotten into the suit that Tony Stark had made for him.

"Do you remember when you said you wanted to be just like me when you grew up? Well, I'm giving you this chance now...even if it's just a small one. What do you say?"

"What do I say?" Ricky scoffed. "I was a kid when I said that, I don't want to do this anymore! There's no reason to anyways, New York already has you and the rest of the Avengers. It wouldn't make sense if there's two Spider men swinging around...plus you were bitten by that spider and your old suit is whack, I'm sorry. You're better at this than I will ever be."

He turned to reach for his clothes before Peter spoke up. "There's going to be a time where I'm not going to be around to save the people of New York, that's where you-"

Ricky laughed, shrugging. "You've beaten countless criminals, you've stopped car chases, you went against that vulture guy, a rhino, that guy made of electricity and you seemed to survive all of those things! You're Spider-Man and nothing is going to happen to you." He said balling up his clothes before he made his way towards the ladder.

"Ricky-" Peter yelled again before hearing the ambulance sirens behind him. He turned towards the scene, seeing that a fire had erupted at the apartment building.

"Go, Pete." Ricky nodded. "They need you. I can walk home by myself. Just be safe, alright?"

Peter put on his mask before looking over at Ricky. "I'm not saying this to scare you but...one day something could go wrong and someone else has to take my place."

Ricky shrugged. He had gotten dressed into his regular clothes and was now climbing onto the ladder. "Nothing is going to happen to you, but something will happen to those people if you don't hurry up and save them!"

He watched as Peter swung off the building and towards the fire. The way Peter had been acting seemed off. Why after all these years was he into showing him how to be like Spider-Man?
