-One Month Later-
After their tense first meeting, Peter and Natasha agreed on a set schedule for Peter's training. He also gave her a list of his powers alongside a small demonstration. Of course, he left out his powers in the mystic arts. That's his trump card after all.
As the time flew by, Peter's schedule changed only slightly with the addition of Natasha's training and his newfound internet fame.
Natasha started by teaching Peter karate, but with his enhancements and high-level ability to learn, he quickly became an expert. Seeing Peter pick up skills that took her years to master in only a week, Natasha was beyond impressed. At first, she thought he was playing with her and already knew Karate beforehand.
"You're not messing with me, are you?" She asked him after witnessing such quick progress.
"Nope, I'm just very adept when it comes to learning. That combined with my superpowers makes me pick up things quickly. Especially when it comes to physical skills." Peter explains with a shrug.
Natasha didn't respond and only looked Peter up and down, searching for any deception. Although it's hard to read someone who's completely covered, Natasha is an expert and didn't find any signs of Peter lying.
With that out of the way, Natasha started teaching Peter different martial arts. judo, kung fu, and wrestling were all learned in the next three weeks. It took Peter only a single month to learn four martial arts to an expert level.
He wasn't at the same level as Natasha, who practices these fighting styles beyond the level of most Masters, but Peter was on his way there.
Since Peter laid down the ground rules on their first meeting, Natasha hasn't tried to find his true identity or record him without permission. So far, Natasha has been doing her best to gain his trust. Though no matter how much he ends up trusting her, Peter won't be revealing his identity. At least not until he knows for sure that she would keep it to herself.
As for Peter's social media accounts, they've continued skyrocketing in followers and subscribers.
YouTube: 121,064,194
Twitter: 94,739,026
Instagram: 115,927,901
Instagram used to be where he had the least amount of followers, as it was a newer form of social media, but with Spider-Man as its poster boy, the app became much more popular than it would have at this point. His followers went crazy every time he uploaded a picture or a short video.
YouTube was even worse.
Peter would only upload one video a week on YouTube, but all of them would skyrocket past 100 million views on just the first day. His following was growing strong and one man hated every second of it.
"Spider-Man is using his fans to print money for whatever nefarious deeds he has planned! Tell me, how many ads have you watched on his videos?" J Jonah Jameson was yelling angrily at his desk. "Should YouTube even allow such graphic and violent content on their platform in the first place?! I think not!"
"Sounds cool to me. You should make it for PC so we don't have to sell physical discs. I'd rather not deal with those logistics." Peter encourages Ned, who agreed with a nod.
As for everyone else, they were reluctant to make money without really doing anything for it, but Peter managed to talk them into taking their free paychecks.
"It's like your my sugar daddy now." MJ comments as she got her first payment.
"Then call me daddy from now on." Peter jokes with a smile.
"Eww, no..."
As for May and Grace, both of them started taking fewer hours at work. Thanks to this extra money coming in, both single moms could start enjoying their free time a bit more.
Peter set his own monthly payment to $35,000, which adds up to $420,000 a year. He could have probably taken more, but it's best to stay out of the IRS's crosshairs. Once Candy Crush starts bringing in more money, he could up the pay again.
As Peter arrived at the warehouse for his next training session with Natasha, he found her waiting for him with a Manila folder in hand.
"Good, you're on time." Natasha says as she hands over the folder. "This is your first contracted mission from Shield."
"Oh, so I'm ready now?" Peter asks as he opens the folder.
"You've been ready since the day we met, Spidey." Natasha rolls her eyes at him.
She's been calling him Spidey for about a week now. It started because Natasha found it awkward to always refer to him as Spider-Man. Peter offered the nickname to her and it just kind of stuck.
"The mission is simple." Natasha says as Peter starts skimming through the folder. "Shield has an agent who went missing in Pyongyang, North Korea. She was tasked with infiltrating the Ruling Kim Families Estate as a servant, but communications went dark. We haven't heard from her for a few days."
"What was her mission?" Peter asks as he couldn't find it in the file.
"She was looking for information on possible nuclear weapons being made. The world doesn't need any more nukes after all." Natasha explains.
"You want me to just bring her back, right?" Peter asks.
"Yes, along with any intel on nuclear weapons as well." She clarifies.
"Alright, I accept the mission." Peter nods as he tucks the folder under his arm and walks out of the warehouse.
"Wait! We have a plane on standby for you!" She calls out.
"No thanks." Peter waves over his shoulder. "My way is faster."
