The next day at School, David was walking with Mia to class, and the school was once again buzzing with more news of the famed Spider vigilante.
" So, Mia, I was wondering, what's your mother like." David asked the girl.
" My mom's the best." Mia replied.
" Oh?"
" Yeah, she's always been there for me, at every school event, she's the one who helps me with my homework, she helps with my hair, she's just the greatest."
" Sounds like you really love your mom." David muttered.
" I do. I wish dad was like her sometimes. What about you, David? What was your family like?"
" Well, I never knew my mom and dad. They were gone when I was just a child. So, for as long as I can remember, Uncle Ben and Aunt May have been like my parents."
" Oh wow. I'm sorry, David. That must be hard."
" It is. And to make it worse, the last thing I said to my uncle, was that he wasn't my father. he tried to teach me about responsibility, and I threw it all in his face. And now, I'll never be able to apologize, never be able to take it back. I have to live with that for the rest of my life."
Mia placed her hand on David's back and rubbed it.
" I'll be alright. Anyway, are we still on for tomorrow night?" David asked the girl.
" We are, if you still wanna come. I know my mom was excited when I told her."
" I'm guessing, dear old dad, wasn't?" David asked. He looked at Mia with one of brows raised and the girl nodded. " Well, that's to be expected, I guess." David sighed. " But hey, this is my chance to make a good impression. Who knows, maybe everything will work out just fine. Now, I gotta go, or else I'm gonna be late for class. I'll call you later." David jumped from where he was walking with enthusiasm, and quickly sprinted across the field.
.............
Later that night, David was swinging over the city of Seattle, patrolling, as he did every night for the last few days.
" Everything seems so quiet tonight. I actually like it." David muttered.
Tonight seemed easy, no alerts on his scanner, no signs of any carjackers, no one breaking into houses, no back street violence, everything appeared to be alright in his eyes.
" Maybe tonight, I'll get to rest and relax after all." David exclaimed.
However, just as those words left the young man's mouth, he noticed a small white van pulling into a part of the older area of Seattle. From that van emerged ten guys all wearing vests and ski masks to hide their identity.
" Me and my big mouth." David muttered. He dropped down to a nearby roof, and waited overhead, while trying to listen in on what the men were saying.
" Alright, we know the deal, let's just get this done so we can get that bonus, alright boys?"
" Yeah."
" Yeah."
" Yeah we hear ya. Come on, let's do this."
" Alright, let's go boys."
The men started pulling Gasoline containers from the van and together they started pouring it all around the place. Drenching every building they could with enough gas to burn the entire block down.
" Alright, that's enough. Light the match."
" On it."
One of the men reached into their pocket and pulled out a match.
" HEY! Didn't your parents teach you not to play with fire?" David shot a web from his hand and snatched the match away before it could be lit."
" Not this guy again! Kill'em!"
The man, who David assumed was the head boss of all these goons because he was giving out orders, shouted to the rest of his men and pulled a gun from his back pocket.
Peter snatched the gun away from the man with a web as fast as he could and shook his head.
" Hey, Bozo, you have gas all over the place, you trying to blow yourself up?" David asked the man. David leaped at the group of men, knowing that they couldn't afford to use their weapons anymore without risking their own bodily harm. He dropped down on the leader, hitting him in the face with both of his feet. David then leaped over the next guy, and grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
He lifted the man up with ease and launched him into a nearby shop's window.
David felt a tingling sensation from his head. He turned to where the sensation was coming from and blocked a punch meant for his head.
He grabbed the man's arm and tossed him over his shoulder, making the smack his face against a light poll.
David jumped over the group of men, counting only seven remaining, and lunged at one man, crashing into him and knocking him into the van the men had arrived in. David then turned around and shot out two webs, grabbing one unfortunate thug and pulling him into his knee. David then flipped over the man and lifted him up off the ground and slammed him on his head.
" Come on, are you guys even trying?" David asked. He dodged out of the way of the next criminal, grabbing his arm as he swung wildly at him, while also kicking another guy in his knee, dropping him. David took the man in his arm and threw him into the guy on the ground and webbed them both down, preventing them from moving further.
" Okay, there's three of you guys left. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Please choose the easy way. Please guys."
" To hell with this, I'm out of here!"
" Me too!"
David looked at the two men running and shook his head.
" Come on, really guys? You're gonna make me chase you?" David raised his hands and fired two webs, one for each of the men trying to run away. The webs hit the men square on the back and David pulled hard, forcing them to fall onto their backs hard." Oh man, that's embarrassing. Alright, come on buddy. It's your turn. What are we doing? Easy way? Hard way? What?" David asked.
" I surrender." The man muttered. He raised his hands behind his head and got down on his knees. Surrendering himself to David fully.
" Good girl! Now, lay down."
Knowing there was nothing else he could do, the man did as David told him, and laid down on the ground.
David quickly webbed the man down.
" There we go, the police will be here shortly. Remember not to play with fire next time, okay?" David told the man.
David began searching the men for items, more specifically a phone he could use as using his own, might give away his own identity.
" Gonna have to think of a solution for that later. Here we go." David muttered.
After finding one on one of the thugs, he called the police and informed them of what was happening.
" There we go." David spoke after hanging up the phone with the police.
" Alright, gentlemen be good convicts.!" David yelled out. He then jumped into the air and within moments, he was gone.
Just like that, Spider-Man had foiled another crime in action. A true hero.
........
David was swinging home, still feeling the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. Never in a million years did he imagine having a life like this. He landed on the roof of his house, in the middle of the night and quietly crawled into his room through the window in the back of the house.
" What a night oh yeah! Gonna fight whoop whoop!" David chanted. He crawled into the window and dropped took his mask off. He then reached over onto his desk and flicked on the lamp light.
" Heh!"
David turned around upon hearing the gasp behind him and sitting on his bed holding his model of an atom was Roberto, David's friend from school, and he was absolutely shocked.
Roberto ended up dropping the model of the atom onto the floor causing thousands of blocks to crumble apart.
" Roberto!" david exclaimed. " Roberto. Berto?"
" YOU'RE SPIDERMAN?! YOU'RE SPIDERMAN!"
" Dude!" David rushed Roberto and covered his mouth to keep him from shouting anymore.
" Berto, I know this probably really exciting for you, but I really need you to shut up now." David told the man. " What are you even doing here?"
" I was on my way home from work and I decided to stop and see if you wanted to hang out this weekend." Berto stated.
" Wait? You work?" David asked the boy.
Roberto dropped his hysterical act and looked at David slightly offended. " Yes, I work! But- but still, dude, you are spiderman. How?"
" Okay, long story short, I was bitten by a radioactive spider and it gave me superpowers, okay, cool deal." David told the boy.
Roberto flopped down on David's bed, still slightly shocked. And it was understandable, Roberto and David had known each other a long time, and never had either of them expected this.
" So, you being all weird for the past few weeks, it's because of this? Wow! Man, I'm so jealous. So, what's it like? What can you do?" Berto asked the boy. His whole attitude reeked of excitement.
" Well, I was bit by a spider, so pretty much anything a spider can do I guess." David replied.
" Dude that's awesome. So, you're like what, super strong, super-fast?"
" Yeah, strong, fast, I have great reflexes now, I can swing from webs."
" Where do the webs come from?"
" What?"
" Where do the webs come from, man?"
" They come from my wrist." David told the man. He stuck his arm out and fired a shot of sticky webs from his wrist.
The shot was so fast, Roberto barely saw the web flying by his face.
" Whoa! Dude, that's awesome."
David looked at Roberto with a smug grin on his face.
" Yeah, I know." David stated with pride.
" Oh man, my best friend is Spiderman. Dude, you gotta do me a favor."
" What?"
" Take me for a swing."
" What?"
" Take me for a swing!"
" No way."
" Why not?"
" Because I said no."
" You're doing it."
" No."
" Yes you are."
" No I'm not."
" Oh yes, it's happening."
" It is not happening and that's final."
......
" WOOHOO!!!!" Roberto shouted excitedly as he swung through the air, clinging onto David's back.
