==Story==
Busy Manhattan streets, cars in traffic, people moving. Outside of a bank, more people walk, there’s a loud explosion of glass, people start to run and panic. Inside the bank, the Shocker is aiming his shock glove at a bank teller. 
Shocker
Listen lady, open the vault! Now! 
Teller 
The manager does that! I don’t have the key! 
Shocker
Where then where the hell is he?! 
Spider-Man
Ooh! I got it! I got it! 
Spider-Man webs the shockers glove to the table, dropping down and kicking him in the face, evading to the back wall
Spider-Man
Oh you know what, just slipped from my mind. 
Shocker 
The spider. Of course it’s the spider. 
Shocker uses his sound waves to break the webs he’s held to.
Spider-Man
You say that like you’re shocked! Get it?
Shocker shoots a sound wave at Spider-Man, he swiftly dodges it
Spider-Man
What with you being called Shocker and all. I dunno, you never really shocked me. 
Shocker
You’re an annoying little bug
Shocker continues to shoot at Spider-Man, he keeps missing.
Spider-Man 
I mean physically, yeah sure. But on a mental level? Emotional level? I’d have to give you a 2
Shocker
Shut up! 
Spider-Man
Bank, prison, breakout, bank, prison, breakout, dude when does it end? 
Spider-Man delivers another kick to his face, leaping back to the ceiling 
Spider-Man 
Like if I were to escape prison, you know what I’d do? Take a guess
Shocker blasts at Spider-Man once again
Shocker 
SHUT UP!
Spider-Man 
I’ll give you a hint, I wouldn’t be trying to go back! Now that’s a shocker! 
Spider-Man grabs shocker by both his hands with his webs, slamming him on the ground. He webs him to the floor and snatches his gauntlets. 
Spider-Man 
I’d also invest in better equipment. Double whammy! 
Shocker 
I’m going to kill you!
Spider-Man 
Sure you are bud. 
Spider-Man hears sirens in the distance 
Spider-Man 
Alright Hermie, that’s my cue. Keep in touch, yeah?
Spider-Man swings outside of the bank as the police arrive.
Spider-Man 
Already missed a period, about to be late for 6th. Way to go Parker. 
*Title Card* 
Parker sneaks around the halls, trying to get to his 6th period Biology class without the attention of his principal. He runs into someone worse
Flash Thompson 
Well if it isn’t Puny Parker! 
Peter 
Flash? Not now alright, I’m gonna be late
Flash
Hold on, hold on, hold on! Where’s my homework? 
Peter 
I told you I was done with that Flash
Flash
And I told you comedy ain’t your strong suit, so quit joking around. 
Flash pushes him backwards 
Principal Harrington
Is there a problem here boys? 
The two look up at the Principal. 
Flash
No sir. What problem? 
Principal
Get to class Flash. Peter, I wanna talk with you. 
Flash
Catch ya later, dork. 
Flash nudges Peter as he walks back to class
Peter 
Principal Harrington? 
Principal
This tardiness is becoming a habit, young man. 
Peter
Yeah, it’s just.. you know.. transit. 
Principal
That’s what the school bus is for
Peter
I… don’t like the school bus?
Principal
Listen Peter, I don’t know what’s keeping you late, and frankly I don’t care. But if you care at all about your place in this school, you will show up on time. 
Peter 
Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. 
Principal
You’re a smart kid, Peter! Too smart to be wandering around the halls with Flash Thompson 
Peter 
Did you.. I wasn’t wandering with Flash
Principal 
You know what I mean. Do better, Parker. I’ve seen you do better. Now get your butt to class before I write you up. 
Peter
Yes sir.
Peter walks back to his classroom, Biology with Mr. Connors. He walks in and finds the teacher - a man with one arm. 
Mr. Connors
Parker! You’re late, again. Take a seat. 
Peter sits down next to Harry. Harry whispers over to Peter.
Harry 
Oh my God dude, where have you been? 
Peter 
Uh, out? 
Harry 
I’m getting my ass handed to me bro! You know how I do in this class without my study buddy.
Peter 
Yeah, I know, I jus-
Dr. Connor
Mr. Parker. Quiet in the back. 
Peter
Right. Sorry. 
Connors continues his class as Peter and Harry watch from the back. Time goes by and the bell rings for the end of the day. 
Mr. Connors
You’re all excused. Remember to read Chapters 27 and 28 of the book tonight, and to complete the worksheet. 
Students leave the room, Peter and Harry get up to leave too. Gwen is in the top right corner of the room, studying. 
Mr. Connors
Peter, Gwen, I’d like you to stay out for a moment.
Gwen 
I wasn’t going anywhere. 
Mr. Connors
No, when do you? 
Harry
Don’t forget the party, Petey, it’s tonight 
Harry leaves the room, leaving only Peter, Gwen and Mr. Connors in the room.
Peter
Is this about me being late? Because I know I’ve been late a lot, but the year just started and I can- 
Mr. Connors
Mr. Parker! Relax yourself. I have an opportunity for the both of you, seeing as you two are the most interested in this class. 
Gwen 
What kind of opportunity?
Mr. Connors
As you know, I’m one of the head geneticists at OsCorp. The work we do- well it outweighs the many sins of the man I work for. And I want to offer you two a paid internship. 
Peter
Paid? Like a job?
Mr. Connors
Yes, just like a job. Minimum wage, but a job nonetheless. 
Gwen 
You already know my answer
Mr. Connors
Of course, don’t know why I bother asking. Parker?
Peter
I would- I can’t.
Gwen looks up from her book at Peter
Peter
I have too much on my plate as is. I just don’t have the time. 
Gwen
Uh, Pete? I don’t know if you’re thinking this through
Peter
Yeah but I- 
Gwen 
He’ll think it over Mr. Connors. 
Mr. Connors
Listen, I don’t wanna push you into anything you don’t want to do, Peter, but if you change your mind let me know by tomorrow night. 
Peter 
For sure. Hey Gwen, you wanna go to Joe’s?
Gwen smiles at him, the scene switches to the two eating pizza in a restaurant. 
Peter 
God I love pizza. I ever tell you how much I love pizza? 
Gwen 
You should take the job.
Peter
It’s cheesy.. doughy.. has meats.
Gwen 
Peter!
Peter
Listen. In case you forgot, I’ve already got a job. 
Gwen
Yeah, but you’ve been deflecting ever since we got here. And on the way here. I already know about your other job Peter, this is about something else. 
Peter
And their breadsticks! God I love this place 
Gwen
Peter..
Peter
What? I’m serious! 
Gwen 
And I am too. What’s going on? 
Peter sighs, looks disinterested.
Peter
I don’t deserve that man. I mean I can’t even get to the guys class on time, but being a full time assistant?
Gwen
Part time.
Peter
You know what I mean. I don’t deserve it.
Gwen
Are you dumb? 
Peter
Huh?
Gwen
Peter Parker, are you stupid? 
Peter
Uh..
Gwen
You’re- you know who. You know how many lives you’ve saved? How many times you’ve saved mine? Hell they threw a parade for you just last year! 
Peter
Yeah but, that’s what I’m supposed to do. That’s normal, it’s what’s right.
Gwen
Not to a lot of people in this city. 90% of anybody here gifted with your powers? Well they wouldn’t be using it responsibly. You’re a hero Peter. Accept it.
Peter
Hah. Why did we break up again?
Gwen 
Because you’re a hero Peter. 
Peter
Cheers to that. You coming to Harry’s party?
Gwen
You know I don’t like those. I don’t even like Harry. 
Peter
Come on, I need a date! Like a platonic opposite gendered friendship sorta date, not the romantic way
Gwen 
Of course. But it looks like you’re outta luck Pete.
Peter
If you come with me, I’ll agree to do the internship 
Gwen
What? I thought I already convinced you?
Peter
You don’t need to know that. 
Gwen 
Fine, I’ll go
Peter
You’re the best
Gwen
When is it?
Peter
Uhhh.. like an hour?
Gwen
Peter! 
Peter gets up to leave, rushing out the door
Peter
Thank you! I love you platonically!
Peter runs out of the door, with Gwen sitting at the table annoyed. Peter runs back in through the door, leaving cash at the table
Peter
Almost forgot- bye! 
He runs back out.
Gwen
Lord.
Meanwhile, a man walks through a tall tower with his son at his side. It is slowly revealed to be Norman and Harry Osborn.
Norman 
I hope you’re paying attention Harry. 
Harry
As much as I can pops. Not exactly prime time entertainment
Norman
It’s not supposed to be son. Never was. One day my entire fortune will be yours, and if you can’t handle that, I’ll give it to whatever other bum on the street that likes parties, sex and drugs can. 
Harry
You know I don’t do drugs Dad.
Norman
Not yet, you don’t. Now come. 
Norman and Harry step through a door. A large man in a white suit sits at the desk. Camera pans in on his face, it’s Wilson Fisk. 
Wilson
Norman! I presume this is your son? 
Norman
Wilson. You’ve presumed correctly. 
Wilson
I like it. Show em how to wrestle this business while they’re young. What’s your name son?
Harry
Harry. Harry Osborn. 
Wilson
Harry. Now I hope your father didn’t tag you along to gather any sympathy points from me.
Norman
What do you want, Wilson? Why did you call me here? 
Wilson
Our.. little plan. Well, like I said, this may not be the best place for your boy as of now. 
Harry
No, I’m fine.
Norman
Harry, sit outside.
Harry
But I- 
Norman
Now. 
Harry steps out the door, sitting in the lobby. 
Norman
Any better? 
Wilson
Yes. As I was saying, our pet project. It’s becoming reckless, unsustainable. 
Norman
Give me a few weeks, Wilson. I can whip them into shape, no problem. 
Wilson
I’ve given you ample time. Years, and you’ve only managed to gather 2 participants.
Norman
Three. 
Wilson slams the table
Wilson 
I'M LOOKING FOR SIX. I need six. 
Fisk settles himself, dusts off his suit, and sits back down. 
Wilson
Fine. Fine, I can manage. I’m flexible. This third participant, who are you talking about? 
Norman
His name is Max Dillon. 
Later that night, there’s loud music and flashing lights in a tall New York penthouse. 
Peter is at a drink table looking for something to drink. He talks to a stranger by the table.
Peter
Anything here that’s not spiked? Like a soda? Juice box? Water? 
Gwen walks in the party with a black and white dress. 
Peter
Gwen, you look great 
Gwen
I appreciate it buddy. So, what do we do at these? 
Peter
I dunno. Think we dance? 
Flash Thompson 
Puny Parker! I’ll be damned 
Peter
Great. It’s Flash. 
Flash
What are you doing here, nerd? This was supposed to be the party of the year
Peter 
Friend of the host. How’d you get in here Flash, not to busy losing us close games? 
Flash
Oh you think you’re so funny Parker 
Flash shoves Peter
Harry
Woah, hold on big guy. He’s with me. 
Flash
Really? You need some less dorky friends Harry 
Harry 
So I’ve been told. Gwen, Peter, buddy, what’s up? 
Gwen
Hey Harry 
Peter
What’s up Harry, you know I’ve been to your house but it seems to get.. bigger every time. 
Harry
Yeah it’s cozy. Have you met my girlfriend by the way? Senior, real hot? 
Peter
Jesus, Harry what happened to Liz? 
Harry
Didn’t work out. Hey MJ! 
Harry beckons over to a redhead girl as he walks over to the friend group. 
Harry
MJ, meet Peter and Gwen. Peter and Gwen, MJ. 
MJ 
Hey. Mary-Jane Watson. 
Peter 
Hi. Peter Parker. This here is my uh girlfriend? Friend that's a girl? Accomplice?
Gwen
Gwen would do just fine. Gwen Stacy. 
MJ 
Nice to meet you two, you know I heard- 
Suddenly, there’s a huge explosion a block away from the penthouse. They can see a building on fire a block away. 
MJ 
Oh my God, what just happened? 
Peter
I gotta go.
Harry
What? Now? 
Peter
Gotta check on my Aunt, make sure she’s okay. 
Harry 
But doesn’t she live-
Before Harry can finish Peter is out the door.
Harry
-further East. 
Gwen
You know Peter. Always on the go. Anyways, I should probably get outta here too. Explosions kinda kill the party mood for me. Nice meeting you MJ. 
As Gwen leaves, more and more people start to leave the building 
Harry
Wait! Hold on! The party was just getting started! Guys! 
MJ comforts Harry. 
Meanwhile, Spider-Man swings down to the building that was exploded. 
Spider-Man 
Just love the smell of fire and carbon dioxide. 
He enters the building on fire. 
Spider-Man 
Is there anyone in the *cough* building! Can you hear me *cough*
Random Voice
Help! Help! 
Spider-Man 
Hold on! *coughs* Wait right there! 
Spider-Man gets to the other room to find a man in a cloak with his back turned to Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 
Sir, I can get you outta here. Just remain calm. 
Random Voice
Sorry kid. Nothing personal.
Spider-Man 
Huh? 
The man turns around and blasts Spider-Man with a blast of electricity, knocking him clean out of the building. He takes off his cloak and is revealed to be Electro, a man made of electricity.
Episode End.
