Synopsis
Peter has his first encounter with the Vulture while furthering his relationships with his various friends.

Plot (unfinished)
We open with John Bestman, son of Gregory Bestman and the current owner of Bestman, Inc., talking to his mother on the phone. He hangs up. He turns around and starts typing something on a computer. As he does, the Vulture is seen outside his window slowly getting closer to him without him knowing. Eventually, Vulture makes his dramatic entrance by smashing through the window and grabbing John, who screams as Vulture takes him out the window. Toomes holds John close to his face, which is partially covered by a "beak" mask. Vulture dramatically flings his arm out while saying this. As he does, John notices blood on his claws. Vulture removes his beak, revealing a sadistic grin. He takes a deep breath. Before we can see what he's about to do, we cut over to Peter Parker sleeping in bed, his alarm clock ringing. He attempts to turn it off but it doesn't work. Eventually, he gets up to check on his clock, revealing the alarm is actually coming from Cindy Moon's phone. Cindy lightly slaps Peter's arm. In school, Peter writes "Kr" on the chalkboard. Peter's phone rings and he picks it up. Smash cut to Harry being followed by a small army of reporters as he enters the diner. Harry manages to lose them and sits down at the same table as Peter. MJ sneaks up behind Peter. Mary Jane puts the group's food on the table while she and Harry laugh at Peter. We see small glimpses of the three's conversation. The first is Mary Jane: Next is Harry: And finally, Peter:
 * John: Yes, mom, the company's doing fine... Yes, I know, thank you, mom... No, you can't talk to dad, he's been dead for years. Okay, bye, mom...
 * John: Damn dementia...
 * John: What in the hell?! who are you!?
 * John: Wha... Adrian Toomes?!
 * Vulture: The very same! Although nowadays I prefer the term "Vulture" to describe myself!
 * John: What's wrong with your voice!? you sound like a freakin' robot!
 * Vulture: I've upgraded myself, Mr. Bestman! Unfortunately, the upgrade causes me to be unable to speak without my... let's call it a beak.
 * John: why're you here!? You already killed my dad!
 * Vulture: That's not good enough, John! Gregory Bestman ruined me! He's the reason I can't get work anymore outside of the supervillain business! That's why I have to topple any chance of his company ever returning from the dead!
 * John: Wha... what... what...
 * Vulture: I believe you're trying to ask "whose blood is that"? Simple. It's a mixture, John. This is the blood of your COO, your board of directors, every single person who would've taken over this company in the event you died! I slaughtered them all, John!
 * John: You're crazy!
 * Vulture: Yes, definitely! but at least I'm not denying it anymore! Now, I believe I mentioned my upgrades, yes? Would you like a demonstration...?
 * Cindy: You sleep in a lot so I decided to be your alarm clock for today. Can't have you being late for school!
 * Peter: Don't phrase it like that, makes me feel like a teenager again...
 * Cindy: Come on, Petey!
 * Cindy: Get up, get up!
 * Peter: I'm up, I'm up. Jeez, why do you care so much?
 * Cindy: I don't, I just like picking on you!
 * Peter: Seems about right...
 * Peter: Now, the elements are split into several categories. For example, the chemical element "Krypton" is considered a gas. More specifically, Krypton is a noble gas, which means--
 * Peter: Sorry, one second, class. Hello?
 * Harry: Hey Pete, it's Harry!
 * Peter: Oh, hey!
 * Harry: I know you're probably at work right now and I'm really sorry about calling you but I just wanted to know if you wanna meet up later. I got a visit from Spider-Man and I remembered how you used to take pictures of him and that got me thinking about how long it's been since we've seen each other.
 * Peter: Yeah, it'd be great to meet up again!
 * Harry: Great! Also, I found out Mary Jane works at a diner near Alchemax and she said she's up for meeting up with us there, so you'll get to see her again too! Should be great, you guys haven't seen each other in forever!
 * Peter: Uh... actually, I saw her yesterday.
 * Harry: Oh man, what...? Damn, thought this would be a cool surprise... You know what, it's whatever, it'll still be great to get the old gang back together! Hopefully, there aren't too many reporters on the way there.
 * Harry: Vultures, I tell ya, every single one of them...
 * Peter: Yeah, I hear you. I got hounded by reporters asking about Spider-Man the moment I quit the Daily Bugle. Good to see you again though, Harry!
 * Harry: Good to see you, pal!
 * Peter: Where's MJ though?
 * Mary Jane: Boo!
 * Peter: Aah!
 * Peter: Hardy, har har...
 * Harry: Oh, take a joke, Pete!
 * Mary Jane: I don't remember you being that jumpy when you were younger, heheh...
 * Peter (narration): My Spider-Sense protects me from stuff like Rhino's fist and incoming trucks and yet it can't protect me from embarrassment... wonderful...
 * Mary Jane: So, what've you two been up to?
 * Peter: Uh... I'm a chemistry teacher now!
 * Mary Jane: Oh really?
 * Peter: Yeah, it's turning out grea--
 * Mary Jane: I never liked chemistry.
 * Peter: Oh, what is this, Pick On Peter Day?
 * Harry: It's always Pick On Peter Day, you should know that by now!
 * Peter: I guess I never realized, but a lot of things make sense now...
 * Mary Jane: So, I'm trying to get back into modeling and basically nobody wants me... The ageist pigs say it's cause I'm almost 30 and "nobody wants to see someone that old in the magazines". Excuse me, but I will be damned if I don't still look 19!
 * Harry: Normie's gotten easier to handle in recent years but he's had a sudden flare-up cause of our youngest son, Stanley. He's pretty young so we have to give him a lot of our attention and Normie's gotten a little... to say the least, "jealous"...
 * Peter: Who, me? Not much interesting has really been going on in my life. I'm just the same old Peter!
