Ambition Weaves A Web...

Unbeknownst to anyone, a small indigo and scarlet spider had escaped her casing and was crawling up the side of a desk. Attracted to the vibrations it was sending out, the tiny arachnid climbed onto the table, but no one noticed.

Peter pressed his fingers to the plasma ball. Startled by the sudden movement and unexpected interruption of the vibrations, the spider jumped up and bit the boy on the back of his hand.

AKA Peter gets bitten by the spider.
