I noticed Gwen's red-haired friend casting glances at me in some of our classes lately.
And if I look at them they look away, the last few days there was a police officer close-by the school grounds at all times, guess Gwen's father is taking precautions for another kidnapping.
and from what Rumors I heard of the other students that the kidnappers were beat black and blue,
but what surprised me was the small gang was reportedly gone overnight that day, the men were all over the news, that the men I took out were just the stepping stones for the cops.
sitting down someone took the seat in front of me.
"If it isn't the hero himself." says the girl
"whats the problem miss Watson you've been looking at me all week" *munch* and *chew*
*whisper* "the problem? you just saved a beautiful girl from harm, face it tiger, What person wouldn't want to have a chance at making me their girlfriend? And you just hit the jackpot with saving me"
*whisper* "it feels like i didn't hit it any jackpot, and im losing sight of what made me save you" *munch* *chew*
*tsk*
"but you do have powers... i saw how you dodged those guys, and the stick to stuff thing, you could make a difference in this city and maybe help the police? Or catch lots of bad people"
"I'm not doing anything like that, i have my own goals in life" *chews*
"what? what do you mean? You have powers!*whispers loud'ish* use them!"
"...which is more reason to not do that, now i got a lunch to eat, it would be convenient for me if you just forget everything you saw me do."
*munch*
"Could you at least talk without eating?"
*chews louder* to avoid anymore topics about anything else.
*tsk*

Lying on his bed looking at his ceiling, Peter found himself lost in his childhood memories... were being a kid with big imagination was ok.
"P...*echo* ....pete *echo*...Peter!" *Flashback sound?*

He remembered a time when he had dreamed of being a superhero, climbing tall trees saving someone's cat or just finding ways to be alone at high up places.
I was 9 but... it doesn't hurt to remember it... the good times.

*back to flashback*
"Whaaat! You can't do that! were supposed to go to the library today!" Little peter says in a panic.
"Well if you come down we'll go early!"
"Yes! Coming down hahaha!" Getting ready to jump off.
"Peter! Don't you dare!"
peter jumped down into a pile of leaves and came out.
"Okey let's go!"
___
*end flashback*
'...you know what, Fine I'll be a vigilante for today, like how hard can that be...curse you little me'
looking at the now modified white lens goggles and my window looking out at new york city and i thought about the web shooters,
thinking about it some more, i didn't check if my web fluid was able to hold up a person in the air.
looking at the time peter goes to the front door and left for the buildings of new york.

As the train rumbled along.
*rumble* *rumbling train*
*girls giggling*
*whisper* "hey check this out"
"Hey buddy, catch, hahaha" One of them tossed another empty beer can at me.

*hollow metallic doink *sound of it hitting.
[next stop~]

'...well little flashback pete, is this what you wanted? Because I'm here and high up and doing what you wanted'
He thought while cursing his younger self.
"but then again im excited for my own reasons, this is a great place to fully test the engineering of the web shooters,*sigh* okey the height is 800ft"
Thank you goggles, Just one day of being a vigilante won't hurt anybody right?
"...well... probably the unlucky few i might meet along the way if any" peter stepped back a few meters to get the momentum to launch himself.
*Twhip!* "Hell!"
*Swing!* "Yeah!!"
___
<2 hrs later in some alley 9:50pm>
"Just Give me your fucken money!"
"Okey! Okey! I wil-"
*thwip*
"h-huh? w-what the hells that on you?" says the man being robbed
"Huh wha-"
a small but noticeable web was latched onto the man who's now been taken into the sky.
"shit! Where the hell di-" The other mugger who's on look out was looking around the area to figure out where his friend was but turning around he found him.
"What the fu-" the man he was looking for is now hanging above the entrance to the alley in a web like material unconscious, scared he tried to run.
"were you going buddy?" Saying that and grabbing him I take him onto the roof taking any money he has but also knocking him out.
the man being robbed was to scared to move thinking he's also going to get taken, but peter wasn't gonna bother with him as he was done with the mugger and threw him off the building and webbing him up making him dangle and tangle with his mate.
'who said I couldn't take money from criminals?' Peter/masked and hooded mused.
___
<2 hr later in a closed store in harlem getting robbed 11:50pm>
"lets Take the money out now!"
As the robber's demands echoed through the tense air of the store, the men with him listen to him.
As they were coming out to their van they hear a man talking.
*Echo* "and here I thought there were just muggers in the area, but you guys seem more organized."
"who's there!" *thud!*
But before the crook could escalate his threats, a figure landed on their van, With a swift and unexpected move, he fired his web shooters, ensnaring the startled crook driver and yanking him into a punch that sent him sprawling to the ground, then webbing him to the ground.
"hah..." he shot a web to a building pulling himself up while the other guys were startled by his shadow.
*echo* "I gotta get back home you know?"
The man who's closest to the van grabbed the side door handle but his hand was webbed on it.
"What the hell is this!?" Trying to Pull his hand off made him a easy target to web his head to the side door.
while this was happening the other 2 ran into the building they robbed but one gets grabbed back outside making the leader only hear his yell for help turning around with his gun aiming at the glass door he Waits for whatever comes in.
But then he saw a man's figure upside-down looking at him with lifeless white lenses. Scared he shoots his handgun at the door destroying it but the man he was aiming at wasn't there.
"Who ever is there! Don't you dare touch me! I'm protected by the demons!!"
"by what now?" a voice was said behind him.
___
well I had my fun, now I should probably go home...
'Protected by the demons?' Thinking on that he pulls out his money.
"I think that's $620~2, from every thieve I caught in the last 4 hours, jeez whats the deal with these guys" peter was counting his hull, when he was bored he got up and as he was going to jump off and swing away he saw a donation sign below a place called Feast.
'...'
Landing on the roof he skillfully webbed down before a person came to get the donation box putting 'his' $500 in it.
Might not be much but he doesn't need it anyway.
going back up on one building he looks out on harlem and also the many businesses out there, and many others probably getting robbed in new york. *sigh* 'your done pete'
he jumps on the buildings going for the bus stop a few blocks away...but as he was going down in the alley to a bus stop tired, he heard that ringing? or was it shivering? A Warning!!
*tattatatatat!!!* 'oh shit!' Peter dodges the bullets whizzing past him in the alleyway.
*hah hah haah...* looking at the man who shot.
"Well that was just freakish dude" said a man in a black suit and white mask "but then again I shouldn't be surprised what other monsters can do" when he said that I got warning signs around me in 4 different places on this cross alleyway, '5 no 8 guys with guns'
"who are you?"
"Oh yeah your new here, we are the inner demons or just me, see, you messed up taking out some of my guys, and my boss… who's under one of the seven demon sins, told me what to do to you, so he gave me some thugs to kill you and whoever you love as payment for the trouble you caused"
"...what?"
*smirk* "I said we'll ki-" *twhip!* pulling him towards me I also run and with a kick I heard something brake in his chest launching him towards the guy behind him.
the others started shooting and with fluidity I dodged the bullets whizzing past me making them look on with shock in there faces,
shooting my webs at them when i was dodging they needed to reload I went for the ones closest to me, aiming my wrist i shoot my webs at the 2 faces and I leap in the air bringing them with me as I drove them into the ground.
"oh shit! He took out the!" *Twhip!* latched his face and pulled him onto the ground knocking him out.
"Fuck! He's a Freak! Keep Shooting!"
*tatatataat!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Running up the walls I shoot more webs at them either stopping there movements or just blinding them, when I was higher up I snagged one more dragging him in the air and kicking him onto the alley wall making me go a different direction in the air.
Landing on a manhole cover i bring it up to use as a makeshift shield running towards them.
*tink! tink! tink!* *Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Sparks flew around me as I charged towards the remaining thugs. Suddenly, a flash of movement caught my eye—a shadowy figure coming from the other alleys darkness, ready for the unexpected attack. With lightning reflexes, I pivoted, deflecting the incoming strike with my shield before launching a counterattack making distance with cover from the shooters.
"who the hell are you?" 'im definitely not cut out for this'
looking over my shoulder passed the alley wall seeing another guy with a white mask walking over to the 3 men who looked scared.
"you embarrassed the inner demons name, for your failure, pay with your lives"
he drew out his katana as fast as he dashed. the thugs who were scared aimed there weapons and fired.
"Fuck! We won't go down without a fight! Waste him!"
*Bang! Bang! Bang!* *tatatataat!*
but it only did so much when he dodged and deflected the bullets and when he was close he jumped, cutting off the heads of the men.
*landing tap* waving his sword he flicked the blood off on the wall and he looked at me.
"the men you fought were nothing more then beginners with no training, I'll be *shing* your opponent" holding his sword up he Waits for me.
"okay I'm definitely not cut out for this shit"
getting out of cover on the other side of the alleyway across from sword Freak.
but before they can battle peter hears police sirens and takes this chance to get out of there, running up the sidewall using his webs to sling shot himself up he starts running and jumping on the roofs of harlem getting as far away as he can going so far as to travel past central park.
___
"hah, hah, haah, ugh damn it" Getting up he starts walking home to midtown east. Thinking about the 3 guys he seen die.
