After outing himself as Spider-Man to all of his loved ones, Peter felt as if a huge burden was lifted off of his shoulders. The day they learned about his secret superhero identity, both Ned and MJ had so many questions.
After answering them to the best of his ability, they then wanted to witness his powers firsthand. May was also curious about this as she has been wanting to ask as well.
After giving a small show, demonstrating his spider powers, Peter opened a portal to the top of Mount Fuji in Japan.
"What?!" May exclaims as Peter hasn't revealed his magical abilities to her yet.
"How did you do that?" MJ asks as she sticks her hand through the portal and retracts it.
"Dude, you can open portals!" Ned was freaking out.
Stepping through the portal, Peter waved at them to follow along.
"Ever since I started being Spider-Man, I've been learning the Mystic Arts behind the scenes. This is only one of the many things I can do with the energy of the universe." Peter bragged a bit, showing a few of the spells that he learned recently.
Once Peter showed them some of the spells he learned, they returned to the apartment through another portal.
"How and where are you learning magic?" Ned asks like an over-excited child.
"There's a secret organization of monk types that protect the earth with magic." Peter gives a small explanation. "I got their leader to teach me. She's very old and very powerful."
"Wow..." Ned was having the best day of his life.
After explaining this to everyone, Peter knew he had to tell MJ about her father, so he offered to take her swinging around the city with him. She was nervous and refused at first, but Peter wore down her resolve and she accepted.
"You should probably wear a mask. Just in case any people or cameras see us." Peter says as he hands her a ski mask he had in his bedroom.
Opening a portal to the top of a skyscraper, Peter grabs his masked girlfriend and leaps off the building, scaring her half to death.
"No, no, no, ahhh!" MJ says and then screams as they nosedive off the ledge.
Shooting a web at a nearby building, Peter swings with one arm wrapped around MJ, who was still screaming in his ear.
"Ahhh!" She yells in fright with her eyes locked shut, too afraid to look. "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god."
Peter started laughing as they swung above the streets of New York, drawing everyone's attention.
Soon enough, MJ started to get used to the rollercoaster-type feeling and slowly started opening her eyes, peaking over Peter's shoulder.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Peter asks as he saw her out of the corner of his eye.
"..." MJ was speechless as she took in the breathtaking view.
Smiling at her reaction, Peter swings them around a bit before finding a good place to land and talk. Landing on a tall skyscraper, Peter puts MJ down.
"That was more fun than I thought it would be." She admits as she takes off her mask and slowly gets her balance back.
"I thought you'd like it." Peter smiles as he opens a portal. "Wait here."
Jumping through the portal, Peter returns shortly after with a picnic blanket and basket full of food and snacks.
"Let's eat and enjoy the view." Peter says as he uses his web to put the blanks in place, as it's a little windy due to the elevation, and puts the basket on top.
"Uhh, sure." MJ agrees as she takes a seat on the blanket. "Did you just turn this into a date at the top of a skyscraper?"
"Yeah, I'm the best boyfriend, right?" Peter says with a smile.
"You're the only one I've ever had so sure, I guess?" MJ says, not wanting to inflate his ego.
"I'll take that as a resounding yes." Peter shrugs as he sits across from MJ and looks at her seriously.
"What?" She asks, wondering why his demeanor changed so suddenly.
"We need to talk about your dad." Peter says, ruining the mood of their rooftop picnic almost instantly.
"What about him?" MJ asks, her mood going slightly sour.
Ever since that day Nick Fury, or rather Nick Watson, showed up after Homecoming, he hasn't shown his face since. Peter doesn't have Shield agents following him or sitting outside his apartment building anymore either. Though, the same couldn't be said about MJ and Grace.
"I've run into him as Spider-Man and know why he left you and your mother. At least, I have a theory." Peter reveals.
"Are you saying my father is a criminal or something?" MJ's eyes widen in surprise.
"No, but I'm sure he has broken the law countless times." Peter says with a small laugh. "Your father is the director of an off-the-books government agency called Shield. He's a super-spy that runs an organization similar to the CIA but on steroids."
"Okay, stop playing around. My dad isn't some secret agent." MJ didn't believe him for a second.
"I'm not joking." Peter says and goes on to explain how the agents followed him for a while and still follow her and her mother. "I think the reason he left you and your mother is because he thought you would be in danger with him around. He has probably made a lot of enemies on his rise to being Director of the most powerful and secret extra-government organization in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if only his most trusted people know about you and Grace."
"He didn't leave because of me?" MJ says, finally realizing that it wasn't her fault.
"Of course not." Peter scoffs. "Though this doesn't mean you should forgive him too easily. Like you told me before, the guy didn't even say goodbye."
"You're right." MJ says as she steels her resolve. "The next time I see him I won't run away like before."
"Good for you. Tell him how you feel and really make him regret it." Peter says, feeding the flames. 'Sorry, boss. Looks like you'll have an angry daughter waiting for your arrival.'
"How did you find out about this again?" MJ asks curiously.
"Your dad offered Spider-Man a job at Shield. I turned him down, but agreed to be a sort of contractor for hire when needed." Peter explains. "I probably would've turned him down if he wasn't your dad, but I thought it would be best to start a good relationship with my girlfriend's father."
"You agreed to accept missions from a super-secret spy agency because of me?" MJ asks incredulously.
"What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic." Peter says with a smirk.
-3 Days Later-
After learning about her father, MJ's demeanor seemed to brighten somehow. She smiled a bit more and looked to be enjoying life, not that she was depressed before or anything. Peter just noticed the small shift in MJ's aura and was happy for her.
Other than that, Ned has officially made himself into Spider-Mans own sort of police dispatch.
When Peter patrols at night as Spider-Man, Ned listens in on police radio frequencies and instructs him on where to go from the safety of his bedroom. He even uses social media to find crimes that haven't been reported yet, which has saved a few lives already.
As for May, she has been bugging Peter to accept these talk show requests. She wants to see Spider-Man on Oprah and other shows that invited him through Twitter. Peter hasn't decided if he wants to accept or not though.
During these past few days, Peter and May have opened a business bank account and connected it to Candy Crush. With that finally done, Peter submitted the game to the many mobile app stores for review and is currently waiting to hear back from them.
The money would be rolling in soon.
Speaking of money, the amount of money that Peter has made through his Youtube channel is crazy. He has only put up 2 videos and yet the views and revenue from them are truly astronomical.
Though, he would never be able to receive that money, as it could be traced back to him.
'Maybe I should figure out a way to donate the money?' Peter thought.
The first video of him just swinging around New York City has garnered 200 million views and it was still climbing. The Vlog, on the other hand, has almost half a billion views. Clips of both videos were played on the news and other mainstream media outlets as well.
Checking his computer, Peter was still surprised by how many subscribers and followers he had.
YouTube Subscribers: 30,738,091
Twitter Followers: 25,629,109
Instagram Followers: 19,082,715
It's only been about 4 days since making his accounts, yet they continue to skyrocket upwards faster than anyone has ever seen.
Spider-Man became the most subscribed YouTuber and most followed Twitter and Instagram accounts.

When the time finally arrived to meet Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, Peter called the same number he used to contact Agent Coulson but was surprised to hear a different voice pick up the call.
"Spider-Man, I presume?" A female voice answered.
"Yup, would this be the mysterious Agent Romanoff? Back from her mission in Istanbul?" Peter responds jokingly.
"Yes, I have a location for your training." She gets straight to the point and gives Peter an address. "Don't keep me waiting long."
Before Peter could even respond, Natasha ended the call abruptly.
"How rude..."
