-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!"
Seeing this clip which was posted on Jonah's Twitter account, Peter responded to him in order to rebuke these claims.
————————————
@Spider_Man
I don't make any money from my YouTube channel. I haven't received a single cent from my ad revenue. @YouTube can attest to this. Also, if YouTube has a problem with the violence in my videos, they can contact me and we can talk about it.

Like that, Peter easily redirected the hate straight back at Jonah, who was instantly ratio'd due to Spider-Mans large following and fan base.
Jameson's response to this was a long string of angry ranting tweets, which Peter and the majority of his following swiftly ignored. It just wasn't worth their time.
YouTube responded soon after, backing up his claims. They also sent him a private message, saying that the current videos he posted weren't against the Community Guidelines, but that Peter should be careful with certain situations in the future. They advised him to either blur or simply not include the more graphic content.
While talking with YouTube in his DM's, Peter asked if they could take the money he makes from his channel and donate it to charity. They were confused at first, but soon agreed and donated over a million dollars to St. Judes Children's Research Hospital.
After doing so, the official YouTube Twitter account posted about it, garnering Peter even more respect while making Jonah look like an idiot for his earlier claims.
Due to Peter's filled schedule, he had to cut down on his magical training, only going to learn from the Ancient One every other day. Though that didn't slow his learning speed by much.
He's learned tons of low to mid-level spells for almost anything you could think of. High-level spells would be coming soon, but before that, Peter would start training to form energy weapons. Creating a lightsaber made of Eldritch Energy would soon be a reality.
Peter was both excited and afraid to learn high-level spells, as he didn't want to mess up and ruin the fabric of reality, which is something Spider-Man would definitely do on accident.
Other than that, Peter has still kept up with his bodybuilding in the secret lair. Using the makeshift extreme weight lifting machines, Peter has built up his strength to 14 tons while his speed is now at 127 miles per hour.
Although his strength is increasing, Peter's body hasn't gotten much bigger. It's like he's permanently stuck with a thinner muscle build, which he didn't mind one bit.
Near the beginning of the month, Candy Crush was approved and placed on every mobile games store possible. Right now the game only has a player base of around 30,000 people though.
Although that's not a lot compared to the success of the game in his past life, Peter knew that sooner or later Candy Crush's popularity would explode. He only had to wait patiently.
With the games shop, Parker Games has made a little over 100 thousand dollars this month. That's mostly due to a small percentage of whales, who just throw money at the game like it's nothing. and some average players buying small amounts of gold here and there.
Peter has given May and Ned each 10% of Parker games, leaving him as the majority owner with 80%. He also hired May, MJ, and her mother Grace as game testers, paying them each $3,000 a month.
Ned was hired as a game developer and paid $4,000 a month.
When he learned that he would be a developer for their game studio, Ned started working on his own game. Of course, Peter funded his best friends project with all the equipment he would need to get the job done.
"What are you going to make?" Peter asked upon hearing about Ned's plans.
"I think I'll make a story game set in space. Kind of like Cowboy Bebop." Ned says as he does the signature handgun sign that Spike did upon his death in the anime.
"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."
