Summary
Stranded in Gotham, fifteen-year-old Peter Parker is broke, sleep-deprived, and just barely holding it together. After a week on the streets, he finds work at a half-decent café near the alleys—the kind of place that doesn’t ask for ID, which suits him fine. By day, he pours coffee. By night, he scours scrap to build a machine that might take him home.
He doesn’t want attention—not from the Waynes (who have too many family issues), not from Gotham’s masked shadows. But they’ve noticed him anyway. The kid with too-sharp eyes and questions he won’t answer. The one who takes cash without complaint but won’t accept a ride, a warm meal, or even a name.
Because Peter can handle things himself. He has to. Help always comes with strings, and he’s tangled in enough already. But the truth is clawing its way out—his arrival in Gotham wasn’t an accident. Someone wanted him here.
Now, caught in a web bigger than his own, Peter will have to decide if surviving is enough—or if he’s willing to let someone in before it’s too late.
