Peter and Beck were now at a bar while he was drinking a beer and Peter was drinking lemonade. Well, more like, holding it since he hasn't drank it.

"Hey, you should celebrate. You did good tonight." Beck tells him.

"Yeah." Peter says, but he doesn't have the stomach to celebrate after what he said to Nick. "I shouldn't have said those things."

"It looked like you meant it." Beck replies.

"I did, but...you know, Nick took me in and kept me safe all these years, and taught me to defend myself. I owe a lot to him. To everyone really." Peter tells him.

"Do you?" Beck wonders.

"Yeah. I mean, Nick, Coulson, Natasha, Clint, Hill...they all wanted me to be better than them. Fury just wants me to live up to that." Peter replies.

"What do you want, Peter?" Beck asks him.

"What do you mean?" Peter wonders while facing him.

"What do you want? What do you, Peter Parker, want? Not Agent S." Beck asks. "I know you're thinking about it."

"I wanna go on my trip, okay? I wanna go on my trip with my friends. And go to the top of the Eiffel Tower with the girl who I really like and tell her how I feel...and give her a kiss." Peter says and Beck smiles at that. "Shut up, man."

Beck laughs at him and gets on topic. "But you're not gonna do that, aren't you?"

"No, I'm not. I can't." Peter admits.

"Why not?" Beck asks.

"Because I have too much responsibility. As Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and as Agent S. My last girlfriend...she died because of my lives. No matter what, I can't be normal. Can't have a normal life. That's why I wanted to take this trip." Peter admits.

"Maybe you should just try to forget the superhero stuff, forget your responsibility for the summer. Maybe you should look out for Peter Parker." Beck offers and Peter knows he's always going to be in a dangerous situation and he needs to tell MJ how he feels.

"You know what. You're right." Peter says as he gets up and grabs his bag. "Tony would've liked you."

"Where you headed now?" Beck wonders.

"I'm gonna go find MJ. Spider-Man and Agent S aren't going to control my life." Peter states.

"Good luck, kid." Beck wishes him. "I'll give you a fifty-fifty chance. You're pretty awkward." Beck jokes.

"See you later, man." Peter says as he leaves. "And welcome to the Avengers."

"Thanks." Beck says as he leaves. Once he's gone, Beck looks mad as now his plan failed to get the EDITH glasses from Peter. "We have a problem." He tells the remaining members in the bar, being his team.

-

Peter returns to the hotel and finds Ned who hugged him.

"It's fine. I'm fine. Hey, I'm done with the mission." Peter tells him.

"Dude, the trips over." Ned informs him.

"What?" Peter asks.

"There's monsters appearing everywhere we go. Of course our parents want us home." Ned says when Harrington and Dell come past talking about their flights home.

"We came for science, we're leaving because of witches. Welcome to the new Dark Ages." Mr. Dell says as he passes them.

"We're going home in the morning." Ned explains.

"But the Elementals are gone." Peter says when is called away by Betty.

"Hey, guess you heard." Ava states as she approaches him.

"Yeah." Peter says and sees he lost his chance when Flash asks them to keep it down and MJ opens her door.

"Hey." She greets Peter.

"Hey." Peter replies.

"Where were you?" MJ asks.

"I got lost." Peter lies.

"We were worried about you." MJ informs him. "Good thing you're back."

"Yeah." Peter says.

"So much for Paris, huh?" MJ jokes.

"It would've been fun." Peter says as she goes back in he room. "You look ni-" her door closes cutting him off.

Peter mentally smacks himself and looks to Ava who's nodding her head towards the door, telling him to go for it while he has the chance.

Peter waves for her to stop and sighs before walking up to the door, working up the courage to and before he could knock, MJ reopens her door.

"Hey. Um...I'm not ready for this trip to be over yet. And I kinda wanna do something fun that's not on the itinerary or planned or with Ned, Ava, or mr. Harrington." Peter tells her.

"Yes." MJ agrees.

"Yes, like you wanna go?" Peter asks, making sure he heard her right.

"Yes," MJ confirms.

"Okay. Awesome. I'll see you outside in ten minutes." Peter tells her.

"Meet me outside in five minutes." MJ replies and closes her door to get ready to go.

As he passes Ava, she raises her hand and they high five as he goes to get ready and Ava goes to get ready for bed for the night.

Peter watches the news waiting for MJ and they're talking about his recent battle with the fire monster and now they're calling him and Ava Night Monkey and Black Cat.

The elevator dings and Peter sees MJ ready to leave.

"Hey."

"Hey." They both great the other.

"So where do you wanna go?" Peter asks.

"Who cares?" MJ says.

"Awesome. Let's go." Peter says as the two smile at the other and try to avoid eye contact with the other to not give it away.

-

They make it to the Charles Bridge where Peter plans on giving her the black dahlia necklace.

"This is nice. I'm glad we're doing this." Peter says as they cross the bridge.

"Me too." MJ agrees.

"To see the city a little bit."

"You know, they used to execute people on this bridge. They would like put them in a basket and drown them in the water." MJ informs him and Peter is wondering why she would know that. But again, that's part of her that he likes. The strangely timed facts that others find creepy, Peter just loves.

They keep walking and slightly caress hands and quickly remove their hands from the other.

"So there's this thing I've been wanting to talk to you about for a while." Peter tells her and MJ stops and faces him.

"Yeah?"

"It's our last night in Europe, and I had this plan that I wanted to tell you. I'm...I-I'm gonna tell you." He promises and pulls out the container holding the dahlia. "MJ, I..."

"Am Spider-Man." MJ finishes and Peter looks at her completely shocked.

"What?" He asks.

"That's what you were gonna say. That you were Spider-Man." MJ guesses and Peter is both surprised and not surprised she figured it out.

"No. I'm not." Peter tries lying.

"I mean, I've been watching you for a while now. It's kinda obvious. And I'm guessing that Ava must be White Tiger." MJ says and Peter is seriously considering what to say now.

One things for sure, Coulson was right. She would make a great agent.

"I'm not Spider-Man. What would make you think I was Spider-Man?" Peter wonders.

"Peter, when you first came to our school, New York got attacked by a psycho millionaire with a glider and someone similar to Spider-Man appears. Then you show back up in New York and Spider-Man isn't too far behind. Then there's Washington. The fact you disappeared out of nowhere for no reason." MJ lists the evidence.

"No, I was sick. Remember? I-I had-the tummy?" Peter stutters.

"You know Ellie Phimister thinks you're an male escort." MJ informs him.

"What? Of course I'm not a male escort." Peter states.

"Then you're Spider-Man." MJ replies.

"No, I'm not." Peter promises.

"What about tonight? You and Ava disappeared and fought that thing. I saw you guys." MJ says.

"You can't have seen me, because I'm not Spider-Man. And on the news, it was the Night Monkey and Black Cat." Peter says.

"Night Monkey and Black Cat?"

"That's what it said on the news...and the news never lies." Peter lies as she reached into her backpack and pulls out something with webbing on it.

"Do Night Monkey and Spider-Man use the same webs?" MJ asks.

"Maybe he's a spider monkey." Peter lies and then wonders something. "Were you only watching me because you thought I was Spider-Man?" He wonders, all the times he thought she was just looking at him because she might like him.

MJ looks down at her shoes so not to look him in the eye. "Yeah. Why else would I be watching you?" She asks, lying to him.

"I just thought-" Peter was explaining when the thing she's carrying starts to glitch out and a giant black cloud comes in with a face and waves a cloud hand before vanishing. "What the hell was that?!"

"I don't know." MJ says as she looks around to where it came from and went. She looks down at the device as it's glitching and Peter picks it up. "What is it, some kind of projector?"

"Yeah, but it's more advanced than one." Peter says searching the device and sees a logo for... "This is Stark technology."

"Does that mean...?"

"The Elementals are fake?" Peter finishes, confused to how that's possible. "That doesn't make sense because we were there. There was fire, destruction. But who would do that?"

The projection starts again and they see a new figure comes in fighting the monster.

"Mysterio?" MJ asks and Peter quickly pulls out the EDITH glasses.

"EDITH, I need you to a search on the name Quentin Beck." Peter asks of her.

"Who's EDITH?" MJ asks him.

"Quentin Beck; former Stark employee who was let go after becoming unstable." EDITH tells Peter and he sees he worked on some researched for weaponized drones and he turns to MJ.

"I am Spider-Man, and Ava is White Tiger. And we're in trouble." Peter tells MJ.

"Wait. You're b-being serious right now? You're not joking you're 100% serious? 'Cause it's not funny." MJ admits, shocked that he confessed.

"No, I'm not joking." Peter replies.

"Because I was-I was only like 67% sure. So...why are you here? Why are you even at our school? Is Ava really your adopted sister or is that a cover story?" MJ wonders.

"MJ, look, I know you got a lot of questions, but we need to get out of here, okay?" Peter tells her knowing they need to get somewhere safe.

"Okay. Okay. I can't believe I figured it out." MJ says as they race back to the hotel and Peter looks over everything on Beck.

-

Peter closes the curtains to his room to make sure Beck can't listen in.

"I can't believe I trusted Beck so blindly just because he said he was from the multiverse. You're loosing your edge, Peter." Peter tells himself. "He's probably sending a drone after us now."

"Wait, drones?" MJ asks.

"Yeah. It appears Beck has someone from Stark industries who created weaponized drones, that must be how he's doing the Elementals." Peter explains as he shuts down all their technology in the room so he can't see them. "I have to call Fury, tell him Beck's a fraud...but he might've tapped my phone."

"Okay, so what's the plan?" MJ asks him.

Peter gets an idea and goes to his suit. "I need to get back into Agent S, and I need to go to Berlin in person to tell him." He explains and starts changing when he sees MJ is still looking at him.

MJ looks at his chest and sees the two bullet wounds that came from when he was shot by Ian Quinn, the scar left by Green Goblin, and the dozens of others he collected over the years in S.H.I.E.L.D.

MJ realizes she was staring and looks away as Peter changes. As he does, MJ sneaks a small peak when they look at the doorway and see Ned and Ava.

"Oh, Ava, Ned, perfect." Peter says as he's dressed fully in his suit and raises his eye sockets.

"The costume looks great...for the costume party." Ned says.

"She knows everything, guys. I told her." Peter assures them.

"He didn't tell me. I figured it out." MJ tells them.

"I'm not surprised." Ava mumbles. "So what's up?"

"Mysterio, he's a fraud. He's an ex-Stark employee who faked the Elementals, everything was illusion tech." Peter explains.

"Whoa. That's crazy." Ned says.

"Ava, I need you to call Coulson, tell him to call mr. Harrington, make up some excuse for me to be off the trip." Peter tells Ava the plan.

"Copy that." Ava salutes.

"Wow, you guys lie with such ease." MJ jokes.

"It's the first thing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s greatest Agent teaches you." Ava says, nodding to Peter.

"Their greatest Agent?" MJ asks Peter.

"Again, I'll explain everything later." Peter promises and holds the EDITH glasses in his hands and wonders who should hold them. "I'll keep the glasses with me. I have a feeling it's what Beck was after. So if I come searching for them, you know it's not me. And if you come asking for them-"

"You'll be able to tell it's not us using the glasses, or just because we asked." Ava finishes, understanding.

"It'll take at least a few hours to get to Berlin from here, so I'll make contact at 0800. If you don't hear from me, expect the worse." Peter tells them.

"Understood." Ava says.

Peter starts making his way to the window when MJ passes him the projector.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Anyone who knows is in danger. Agent Ayala, keep them safe." Peter tells them before leaping out the window and makes his way to Berlin.

-

Peter takes the train from the roof and hopes he makes it in time and when he lands in Berlin, a car drives up and the window rolls down to show Nick.

"Get in." Nick tells him and Peter does exactly that and they drive off.

Peter pulls off his mask to talk to him. "Fury..."

"You've got a lot of explaining to do." Nick tells him.

"No, no, listen.." Peter tries saying when he raises a finger to him.

"Wait until we're secure." Nick says and Peter relaxes for a minute.

"Listen, about what I said in Prague, I..I didn't mean it." Peter tries apologizing. "Well, I did, but I'm grateful for everything you've done for me."

"Nice to know you appreciate it." Nick says before nodding to his seatbelt.

Peter realizes he forgot to put it on and when he tries to, he snapped it off.

They make it to the Berlin headquarters and go to a room where Hill is waiting for them.

"So, is there anything you want to tell us about your girlfriend?" Nick asks him.

"He's talking about EDITH." Maria explains.

"Look, Beck is not who you think he is. He's a liar. Mysterio, the Elementals, everything is fake. He has Stark issued technology known as B.A.R.F., he was fired for being unstable and now took his illusion tech to the next level." Peter reports to them like the old days and passes them the projector. "It's a projector that was pulled off while fighting the fire monster. I think he wanted me to hand him EDITH because all of the Stark tech I have access to with them is almost nothing but these drones. He gets his hands on that, he will be able to do whatever he wants and make whatever he wants."

"So all that death and destruction were caused by Stark drones and projectors?" Nick clarifies.

"Exactly." Peter answers.

"Well, if this is true, Beck is more dangerous than we thought and we need to be smart. Where's EDITH now?" Nick asks when Peter gets an off feeling.

"Peter, what's wrong?" Maria asks.

"He's here." Peter says and closes his eye sockets.

"What?" Nick asks and pulls out his gun as the room starts to deteriorate, revealing an old warehouse and Hill starts to vanish being part of the illusion.

"No, it's just an illusion." Peter says when a shot comes in and hits Nick. "No!" He shouts when he gets shot in his bulletproof suit and sent flying down the flights of stairs and crashes.

"Wow, Peter. Wow. I thought we were close." Beck says and Peter sees his suit held up and the blast didn't hurt him. He looks and sees the drones start to target and circle him. "Fury always had to die, but not you."

Peter tries to web the drones as they go invisible. "Stop hiding, Beck!"

"I tried to help you walk away. Now you're making me do this." Beck says as the drones make the entire warehouse dark and places Peter back into his red and blue Spider-Man suit.

Lights and lockers start falling into place as green mist comes around along with Mysterio. "You said you were just a kid." Beck says and Peter tries to web him, but only mist comes out of his shooters.

Mysterio appears behind him. "You told me you wanted to run after that girl." He says and Peter tries to punch him and ended up hitting a pillar from the real world.

"Help me!" He hears MJ call out and he runs into the only door and sees he's now on top of the Eiffel Tower.

"Peter, what's going on?" MJ asks and Peter sees she's near the edge.

"I know this isn't real!" Peter states.

"Do you?" Beck asks as the moon becomes Mysterio and he grabs MJ around the neck and drops her.

Peter on instinct goes and runs to save her. He leaps only to hit the ground and he hears a bell going off.

He looks around and sees he's inside a bell tower. Not just any bell tower.

The bell tower.

"Spidey?" Gwen's voice calls and Peter sees her. "Where am I?"

"Gwen?" Peter asks.

"I don't think you know what's real, Peter." Beck says when Goblin appears and murders Gwen before everything flashes around him and Peter ends up in front of a building with Queens on it.

Mysterio's fist comes out of it and punches Peter through glass and he starts to get caught by a bunch of webbing.

"You need to wake up!" Beck says and Peter falls on a car in the real world and gets up.

Trying to get a grasp on reality again, the drones fly out of the windows and shards start to grow as they drop to the ground and the sky goes dark once again.

"I mean, look at yourself." Beck says and Peter sees a bunch of reflections of himself when they come alive and start to pile on him.

"You are just a scared little kid in a sweat suit!" Beck states and Peter looks to see he's now in his homemade suit.

Looking around, he sees destroyed statues of Steve, Tony and Natasha.

"I created Mysterio to give the world someone to believe in. I control the truth. Mysterio is the truth." Beck says and flies in and Peter dodges the blast he shoots at him.

He does a few flips and tries to web him and once he gets a hold on him, he pulls only for a construction crane to come falling down. Peter keeps flying as Mysterio crashes into the Captain America fist that comes crashing on Peter.

When the dust clears, Peter sees a gravestone in front of him for Tony Stark.

"Maybe if you were good enough, maybe Tony would still be alive." Beck says when a hand comes out of the grave followed by a zombie Iron Man as he starts to fly with black widows crawl around his face, causing Peter to feel lost in reality and anxiety.

Peter tries shaking himself awake, feeling this is a nightmare when he looks and sees himself in his Agent S suit...but it's nkt him.

"Agent H." Peter realizes as his double tries to attack him, and Peter tries fighting him off.

"How many people died because of you?" Beck questions him and Peter sees flashes of Trip, Coulson, his parents, everyone in his life who died saving him or he tried to save.

"Deep down, you know I'm right." Beck says as Peter runs to get away, only to hit glass and he sees he's now inside a snow globe and New York starts rising from the snow that is actually Beck's helmet.

"You made your choice. And all you had to do was step aside." Beck says as he raises his helmet. "Now, you have-"

A gunshot is heard and Beck drops to the ground, shutting down the illusion.

The shot was sent by one Nick Fury who walks up to Peter who's in the sand of the construction site as more people come driving in and surrounds Beck.

"Fury!" Peter sees as he gets up and feels around to see he still has the glasses and holds onto them.

"Beck's people are trying to find anyone who can expose him. Who'd you tell?" Nick asks him as he takes the glasses from Peter to see if they're damaged or taken.

Peter wonders if he should say who in case this is another illusion, but if it isn't an illusion, what's the point and then his head started to spin.

"I know you told someone, so just tell me. Who else did you tell?!" Nick asks.

"Just Ned, Ava and MJ. Maybe Ned told Betty, but that's it." Peter promises and Nick starts chuckling. "What?"

"You are so gullible. I mean, you're as smart as a whip. Just a...sucker." Beck's voice exits at the last word and reveals Beck was Nick and now he has EDITH. "And now all your friends have to die."

The projection comes back up and Peter walks backwards to avoid getting hit by the random stuff falling.

"It's easy to fool people when they're already fooling themselves." Beck says as Peter tries to avoid the things that don't exist. "For what it's worth, Peter. I am sorry."

The hologram shuts down and Peter sees he's on a train track when a train comes in and slams into him before he could react.

Beck sees his greatest threat is now out of the way and has the glasses, and now has everything he needs.

-

Peter, with all his strength, gets inside the train and drops onto a seat on the train as he's in too much pain and rips off his mask as he thinks he's bruised a rib or a few and closes his eyes.

He failed, and now everyone he loves is in danger.
