Peter was walking back to his web lair. It was coming along quite nicely ever since he came to this universe. His Web Watch was around 10% complete. Despite only being in this world for only 2 weeks he was already quite comfortable.

He had a mini-fridge with food and water, a handful of clothes and a bunch of gear for his Spidey.

His new 'job' selling photo of himself to news stations was really working out and was playing really well. Peter was now able to buy the tech he needed, but he still went dumpster diving.

He had just finished hanging with Izuku and Tsuyu, apparently, their entire class was training for the Sports Festival. From what he could gather, it was time when the students at U.A could show off their skills to all of Japan so they could see what the next generation of heroes had in store.

As Peter was walking back to the warehouse, he couldn't help but feel a faint hum at the back of his head. He knew he was being followed.

He walked into an alleyway where he would confront his stalkers. "Alright, I know you are following me. Now show yourself."

When Peter said that, the two figures jumped from the roof of the building next to him. Peter turned around to look at his stalkers.

"Izuku Midorya and Tsuyu Asui. Honestly, I don't know whether to be flattered or creeped out about this."

"Par- Peter, listen. We are worried about you. You always seem to try and hide a panic whenever someone asks you about where you are from. And you also disappear at the most random of moments."

Peter let out a sigh. Looked at his two friends and says, "So you followed me in Hope's of an explanation. Well sorry to disappoint ya, but that's all you're getting."

Tsuyu steps up to him and says " Peter, me, Midorya, Lidia and Ochako are worried. Ribbit." Despite the fact that she was trying to keep a calm face, Peter could see the worry in her eyes.

"Guys I'm fine. You have nothing to worry about. I mean, It's not like I'm a homeless vigilante." Peter says letting out a small chuckle.

Izuku and Tsuyu look at each other and sigh in defeat. They look at their friend and Tsu say, "Fine you win Peter. Ribbit."

Peter smiles at his friends and says "Thanks, guys. Welp gotta go now, bye."
Peter walks between his friends and without them noticing, fires two Spider Tracers at his friends in case they follow him to his.

As Peter walks away, Izuku looks at Tsuyu and says "Asu- Tsu, maybe Peter is right and we are worrying for no reason."

Tsu looks down and says "Guess you have a point. Ribbit."

Izuku then asks "Why are you so obsessed with Peter? You are usually quite calm."

Tsuyu wasn't really expecting that question. If she was drinking something she would have spit it out. She stammered for an answer "Well- umm- what are you talking about?"

Izuku looks at her confused "And since when do you stammer for an answer. "

Tsu was now letting out a little blush. She knew that it would get out eventually.

Then Izuku connected the dots. "You- you like Peter don't you." (Wish he was that observant of Ochako's feelings for him)

Peter finally made it back to his base. He was extremely tired on this peculiar night so he decided to hit the hay straight away.

As he walked to his mattress he had a thought "Izuku, I understand, he worries about his friends all the time, but why is Tsu so worried. From what I've seen and heard she isn't usually one to worry about much. Maybe she - No! That can't be right. I mean why would she- I mean maybe. Ugh!!! Why can't I get that frog out of my head."

Peter then dropped himself on the mattress and fell asleep.

"Aaaghhmmmmhhhhh!!! Mmhhhh!!!! Mmmm!!!"

Peter shot awake and put on his Spidey mask. He installed a security system in case any intruders appeared. As he walked down the stairs to the ware house's main entrance he kept thinking "Great! Now I'll have to move out or something before these guys the police.."

When he got downstairs he saw web cocoon, the person inside squirming to get out. He walked up to the cocoon and started talking "Alright this can go 3 ways pal. 1. You're a fan and will stay quiet about this place. 2. You're NOT a fan and I will have to leave you here until the webs dissolve, giving me enough time to pack and leave. Or 3. You're a criminal so I leave you to the police and I pack and leave. So which is it gonna be?"

He picked up the cacoon, estimated where the face was, and ripped off the webbing. When he saw the face he saw non-other then Tsu. In his head, he thought 'Should've added an option 4.'

Peter coughed a bit in order to deepen his voice. He then looked at Tsu and said "Madam, I'm afraid you're gonna have to leave."

He started to rip the webbing of Tsu, but Tsu just looked at our friendly neighbourhood web swinger and said "Well I'm not going to until you give me an explanation, Peter. I saw you walk into this warehouse."

Peter just pressed his hands against his face and groaned "Uuuggghhhh, fine."

One explanation going through Peter's universe, the multiverse, Peter's origin, and why he is here.

"So, since I saved you AND your class, it is only fair that you save me the trouble and keep this a secret."

Tsu just stared at him blankly, she honestly didn't know if she should believe it. Peter must have noticed her confusion and disbelief because he then said "Karen, bring up the designs for the web watch on the holoprojector on my right web shooter."

Suddenly a hologram came out of a bracelet on Peter's arm. The hologram showed a design for a watch with a web design.
"This is the design for the Web Watch. It accesses the Web of Life and uses it to open up a small tear in reality. This tear is small and controlled and poses no danger as long as used by the right people." Peter says calmly

"Now show her some clips of the Spider-verse event."
Suddenly the hologram showed images and clips of out happened during Peter's fight against the Inheritors.

Tsu couldn't believe it. In the hologram she saw Spider-men, Women. Spider robots, mutant Man-Spiders and Spider-pig. One Spider also reminded her of somebody from her universe but she didn't know who.

She shook the shock off and asked Peter one final question "You've only been here for only a few weeks but you're already settled in comfortably and are 10% done with building an inter-dimensional transporter. How?

Peter looked at her supposedly calm face, took off his mask and said "I'm a genius, remember."
