A Witwicky Fresh Start
After his name was wiped from the memory of everyone he loved, Peter Parker shelved his Spider-Man activities. Recent events still fresh in his mind, he along with his cybertronian guardian, pack up what little items he had left and move to a small town in Pennsylvania named Witwicky. Taking up a job at the local ranger’s office as a desk clerk, he meets his new boss Dorothy Malto, who just so happens to be his new neighbor.
Slowly, things seem to be almost normal again, and Peter finally takes a breath of fresh air. It feels like he can breath freely again without the world trying to stab him in the back. Unfortunately, the world has a new set of cards to play as one day he shows up to work only to be met with a G.H.O.S.T. agent.
While not hearing much of the conversation between Dorothy and the G.H.O.S.T. agent, Peter can tell something’s up. Between the hushed secrecy of the conversation and Dorothy’s sudden shift in mood, it doesn’t take long to realize his boss is working closely with G.H.O.S.T.
Still not over the past and G.H.O.S.T. around every corner, Peter steps up his game, becoming cautious, desperate to keep the only friend and family he has left. He’s determined not to fail again. He can’t lose anyone else, not again.

Meanwhile, Dorothy gets a new desk clerk who she couldn’t be more curious about. Peter Parker was a young man no older than 18 and a mystery to her. She can’t find anything about him previously, but all his credentials are there.
Getting information out of him is like a puzzle. She has a few pieces but no where near enough to complete the picture. Peter is a hard worker and a genuinely nice kid. Dot knows there isn’t a strong reason for her to investigate him further than what he’s shared but there’s something about him that makes her curious. Maybe it was the fact that he doesn’t have any parents, maybe it’s because he’s so young, or maybe it’s the fact that he reminds her of her own children…
Whatever it is, she feels the need to find out this kid’s mysteries and help him whatever way she can.
Her curiosity only deepens after Peter walks in on a meeting with a G.H.O.S.T. agent. While she’s certain he didn’t hear any of it after finishing it somewhere else, the kid seemed fidgety afterwards. He seems flighty and nervous, cautious even. Not to mention he becomes even more closed off. The look in his eyes are that of pure fear. Like he’s scared of something. Those same eyes that already showed so much hurt and sadness.
Peter Parker is a mystery, one she’s even more determined to figure out.
