Before going to bed that night, Peter finished the testing on his Ghost laptop and found it to be working perfectly. Thankfully, as he already used it to hack multiple cellular networks earlier.

With the laptop up and running, Peter could start his Influencer plan. That night, he made an account on each of the websites he planned to use.

First, he had to make an email account for all of this, so he made . All he needs it for was making the accounts so the name didn't really matter.

After making his email, Peter made a YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram account. The name Spiderman was taken and he couldn't use Spider-Man as the hyphen (-) is a banned character on Twitter and Instagram. Knowing this, Peter had to add an underscore instead.

Spider_Man

Thankfully, none of his fans stole that name and Peter liked it more than he thought he would. As for YouTube, he just made his name Spider-Man. YouTube has fewer restrictions so he could use more characters and already taken names aren't a thing.

Once the accounts were made, Peter added a previously taken profile picture of him in his suit hanging off the top of the Empire State Building.

In his Twitter bio, Instagram bio, and YouTube description, Peter added the links to his other social media accounts and this:

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

After everything was customized to his liking, Peter uploaded a few of his previously taken pictures to Instagram and headed off to bed.

The city was packed with law enforcement that night, due to the terrorist attack, so most criminals were keeping a low profile. Peter decided to just take the night off.

The next day, Peter woke up and checked his accounts. He hasn't posted anything on YouTube and Twitter yet, but they somehow had a few thousand subscribers and followers respectively.

Knowing that this probably has something to do with his Instagram, as he linked his other accounts, Peter opened it up and saw that he had 20,000 followers already. On each of his posted pictures were thousands of likes along with tons of comments asking whether this was the real Spider-Man or not. While others were skeptical and called him a fake, but they were few and far between.

Peter was shocked by how his accounts are already blowing up. It's only been a single night since he made them after all.

Deciding to prove that he is who he says he is, Peter gets ready for school and portals to an abandoned building. Once there, he switched to his spider suit and recorded with his phone as he swung around NYC, switching the camera between himself and the view ahead.

Before heading off to school, Peter used the ghost laptop to upload the video to YouTube alongside a shorter one to Instagram.

Rushing to school, Peter met up with MJ and Ned as always. The three hung out throughout the school day as they attended classes. While they went about their day, Flash didn't bother them a single time.

"I had him on the phone for almost 5 minutes. I don't think I can stall for longer than that..." Coulson says defeatedly.

Peter knew that Coulson was drawing out the call, but simply let it happen. He trusted the ghost laptop and knew they wouldn't find him. Coulson's eyes widen as he realized this.

"Whoever Spider-Man is, he's good. I don't think even Tony Stark would be able to track him either. You can't track what doesn't exist." The second tech guy leans back in his chair.

-POV Peter-

That night, Peter arrived at the dock as planned and found Phil Coulson waiting by a few stacked shipping containers. Other than the two of them, the place seemed to be deserted, but Peter knew better.

With his enhanced senses, Peter could sense the many hidden Shield agents, who were posted up in, on, and behind the various nearby buildings. He could hear the small sounds their Kevlar vests and assault rifles make as they move even the slightest bit.

'Do they think I'm the Hulk or something?' Peter wondered as he walked up to Coulson.

"Yo, so what did you want to talk about?" Peter asks, unbothered by the small army surrounding him.

He'll know if they try to do anything and would be able to take care of it easily. Especially with his skills in the mystic arts, which he has barely used during his time as Spider-Man. Though he's not using it for a reason. If no one knows about his full skill set, no one can plan ahead to counter it.

"On behalf of Shield, I would like to offer you a job." Coulson responded.

"You're calling it Shield now?" Peter asks with a smirk Phil couldn't see. "Also, you haven't even explained what shield does, you know?"

"Yes, It's not official yet, but things do look to be headed in that direction." Coulson smiles as well. "As for your question, the simplest answer is that we maintain national and global security."

"Well, isn't that vague. Tell me about your gainful employment. Does it include dental? What's the pay looking like?" Peter asks jokingly.

"Shield would like to hire you as an agent. Of course, you would have to be trained before taking any missions, but with your obvious enhancements, it would take weeks to get you up to our standards." Coulson explains his offer.

"Hmm..." Peter takes a moment to think before answering. "No thanks, but I do have a counter offer for you."

As soon as Peter refused, he could hear Nick Fury's voice in Coulson's earpiece.

"Ready the snipers. If Agent Coulson gives the signal, shoot tranquilizer darts. Remember he's enhanced. Shoot enough to kill multiple elephants." Fury orders.

Raising an eyebrow at this, Peter heard 6 nearby snipers shuffle into position.

'This just got interesting...'
