Originally, Peter planned to make Lily's body all by himself, though having bones that were forged in the heart of a Neutron Star just sounded too good to pass up.

Especially when the Dwarves were so willing to do anything.

"Now I just need to figure out the rest of her body..." Peter muttered thoughtfully as he lay on his bed.

Peter's plans for his daughter's body were far more than just your average robot.

In fact, the only metal portion of her body would be her bones and possibly her brain, or at least that is the current plan.

The rest of it from her organs, blood, nerves, skin and everything else would be made from human tissue.

Preferably a mixture of his and MJ's genetics, which Peter would grow in a lab, making Lily their real daughter.

The only problem with this was the fact that Peter had no idea how he would grow organs and other body parts in a lab.

He knew it was possible, but getting it done was an entirely different story.

Even after all of the fleshy parts of Lily were made, Peter would still have a hard time putting everything together, as he would be literally creating life from nothing.

'I need to buy some books on genetics and cloning...' Peter thought as he ordered some books on his phone before going to sleep with a pile of Vibranium in the corner of his room.

——————————————

Seeing as Peter had at least a few months before the convergence would take place, he decided to use that time to figure out Lily's body situation.

After reading up on the science behind the subject, Peter had a restricted lab cordoned off in the tower and started playing around with his newfound knowledge.

Currently, nobody working in this field has been able to grow a functional organ from scratch. However, there has been great success in growing mini-organs from pluripotent stem cells

Of course, Peter hacked all of the experimental data from those who have been working on this for years and studied it thoroughly.

'Where the hell do I get stem cells from?' Peter wondered.

Though he soon found out that with Tony's money and connections, placing an order for a batch of stem cells was as easy as calling for a pizza delivery.

Within a week of work, Peter was able to make miniature organs with ease, putting his work at the same level as scientific leaders in this field.

'Now I just need to figure out how to make them a normal size...' Peter thought as he stared at a small human heart, which pumped blood with the help of a machine.

While Peter was working on creating Lily's real body, Ned finally got to a point where he could go out into the field.

After months of constant training in martial arts, parkour, gun control, and a plethora of other useful skills, Peter called Ned over to his house and gave him a wrapped present.

"What is it?" Ned asked as he shook the box and put it against his ear.

"Open it and you'll see." Peter says with a smile.

With the enthusiasm of a child, Ned tore the wrapping paper off and opened the box, finding some black clothing inside.

"Huh?" Ned grunted in surprise as the clothes disappeared with a touch of his hand. "What the...no."

"Yes." Peter says with an amused look on his face.

"Is this what I think it is?" Ned asked as his clothes swapped with a black superhero suit.

The suit looked almost exactly like Batman's suit, except for a few slight alterations. There is no cape, bat symbols, or pointed ears on his head. The mask also covers his entire face, leaving no openings for his eyes or mouth.

Waving his hand, Peter conjured a long mirror directly in front of Ned, who jumped in fright at his own reflection.

"!" Ned stared at the mirror in shock. "Is that... me?"

"Yeah, do you like it?" Peter asks.

"..." Ned looks back and forth between the mirror and his very generous friend. "I love it!"

"Good." Peter says, happy that his work was worth the effort. "Why don't you check out your belt?"

"Huh?" Ned grunted as he looked down to see a utility belt around his waist. "Did you copy Batman?"

"Sort of." Peter says as Ned starts playing with his belt, finding the pouches to be much larger on the inside.

"..." Ned froze in shock as a quarter of his arm fit into one of the tiny pouches before reaching the bottom. "Cool..."

"I thought you'd like that." Peter says with a smirk. "Batman-style gadgets not included though. I thought you'd like to make them yourself. Maybe some smoke capsules for a quick retreat or whatever you want."

"Hehe..." Ned laughed like a maniac. "I have so many ideas!"

"Just don't make anything too dangerous please." Peter couldn't help but worry.

...

After showing Ned almost everything about his suit, including all of the functions that his and MJ's suits have, Peter drew Ned's attention to his boots.

"So, you know how MJ and I can pretty much swing away from every problem?" Peter says and receives a nod from his friend. "Well, you don't exactly have the same luxury as us, so I decided to add something special to your suit."

Waving his hand, Peter opened a portal and gestured for Ned to follow him through.

"Uhh, why are we here?" Ned asks as they appeared in an empty field in the middle of nowhere.

"Because I don't need you destroying my house." Peter answers with a shrug. "Now, I want you to jump while thinking of the word boost. Just remember to land on your-"

Before Peter could finish his explanation, Ned jumped and soared up into the air at a rapid pace.

"Aaahh!" Ned screamed as he reached a whopping 30 meters before losing momentum.

Flailing around like an idiot, Ned came crashing down and hit the floor back first with a loud thud.

"...feet." Peter finished his sentence with a sigh.

"Ouch..." Ned said as he picked himself up after a moment of rest.

Thankfully, he is enhanced enough to make a fall from that height mean nothing.

"As you probably guessed already, I enchanted your boots to boost your jumps on command. They also reduce the impact of falling from high heights, so just land on your feet next time, or else it's going to hurt again." Peter explains fully.

"..." Ned doesn't reply as he jumps and launches off the ground.

Luckily, he landed on his feet this time.

"Cool..." Ned commented as the boots reduced the impact of landing to almost nothing.

"Thanks." Peter took his words as a compliment to his work. "Once you get used to using it, you can control the height of the jump as well as the impact of your landing."

...

After letting Ned practice with his new boots, Peter donned his own suit and opened a portal to the top of a tall building in Time Square.

"Are we..." Ned utters as he looks at Peter expectantly.

"Yup, why do you think I gave you the suit?" Peter says as Ned started vibrating with excitement. "You're ready now."

"Finally!" Ned exclaimed loudly.

"If you tap your right ear, the police radio will turn on." Peter says as they start looking for crimes to stop together.

Of course, Ned may be ready, but Peter would still rather chaperone his first few days as a superhero.

After all, anything could go wrong.

...

After running all over the city multiple times, Ned sat dejectedly at the top of a building alongside Peter, who felt bad for his friend.

"Sometimes there's just no crime..." Peter says as he placed a comforting hand on Ned's shoulder.

For the past few hours, Ned has done nothing but small acts of kindness, like walking old ladies across crowded streets and saving cats from trees, which he felt good about.

Though he was expecting something a bit more exciting for his first day.

"You made this city too safe..." Ned complained as he looked down at the peaceful city below.

"That's not exactly a bad thing." Peter laughs as an idea came to mind. "Why don't we try another city?"

-London-

Jane Foster was looking over a menu in a restaurant, when a handsome man unceremoniously sat across from her.

"Hi." He greets her a little flirtatiously.

"Can I help you?" Jane asks in confusion.

"You looked lonely, so I thought we could eat together." He says without a care for what she wants. "So what's the story with you?"

"Get out of here slimeball." Jane's trusty assistant, Darcy appeared and shooed the pushy man away. "She's already taken."

"Oh..." The man seemed to come to a realization. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..."

"Yes, I'm in already in a relation-" Jane says though she was cut off.

"...a lesbian." He says as he looks between Darcy and Jane.

"Yeah, so stay away from my woman." Darcy says as she sends Jane a teasing smirk.

...

When the man finally left, Darcy took his seat, ignoring the glare from her boss as she starts stuffing her face with free bread.

"Thanks for the help, but why are you here?" Jane asks.

"Right. You know that scientific equipment thingy in the corner of your bedroom? You might wanna start looking at it now." Darcy says as she pulls out a small radio-sized gadget, which was going haywire.

"It's malfunctioning." Jane sighed in annoyance.

"That's what I said." Darcy nodded as Jane gave her the gadget back.

"You can go now..." Jane says as she wanted to eat without any of Darcy's craziness.

'I'm sure it's nothing.' Jane thought as Darcy grabbed a handful of bread and walked off.

'I'm sure it's nothing... I'm sure it's nothing... I'm sure it's nothing... I'm sure it's nothing...' Jane repeated over and over before jumping out of her seat and running after Darcy, whose retreating figure was still in sight.
