<3 minutes later Mister Negative takes his seat>

"...Pride, show me what your Enforcer saw..."

"Yes master, here's the video of everything he seen before intervening"

showing the whole room after placing the drive in the table what his Enforcer caught in his cam.

What they watched was a man easily defeating the men the Enforcer sent, quick and efficient was what Mister Negative saw, a man able to defend against an attack from an Enforcer, seeing as he ran away he has good intuition for cops showing up, strong, able to pick up a manhole cover 300 pounds without trouble using it as a shield for small arms fire.

"what was his motive... did your Enforcer have anything on why he was attacking, was it another gangs doing"

"nothing on the gangs in the area master, the man's motive though seems to be attacking all crimes in harlem, and something else about people being saved by 'webs' and police officers getting calls of a man who appears and disappears, leaving some men he attacked going to the hospital including one specialist...a man they call Spider-Man, my Enforcer couldn't get them fast enough, the man escaped"

"this 'Spider-Man' just made the men around the area of harlem afraid, you know how that effects this business of ours, fear of someone else in areas we control is not a good look, you know what to do pride, bring three Enforcers to block the area if you find him"

"Yes Master"

"now on to other business, *tsk* the Maggia, why can't they stay dead, some of you stay in hells kitchen and the rest go about your business, remember, we don't lose new york" knowing what the outcome is for messing with the inner demons would be, he continues with this meeting giving orders or what big figures want the inner demons assistance for pricey protection.

___

*knock knock*

"Cindy? you up? I made you breakfast~ and I also made toast with bacon"

From within the penthouse, muffled groans and the rustling of bedsheets can be heard in response to the gentle knocking.

*Yawning* "Mmm... Dad, it's Sunday... No school today..." *yawn*

*The sound of a pillow being dragged over the head follows, muffling Cindy's voice.*

"Five more minutes, please... Zzzz..."

Meanwhile, the aroma of breakfast wafts through the room, the sizzling of bacon and the clinking of utensils against plates filling the air.

'...' *sniff*

As Cindy continues to resist the inevitable morning, the subtle sounds of her father's footsteps echo across the penthouse floor, drawing closer to her bedroom door.

"Cindy, come on now. It's a beautiful day outside. I made your favorite breakfast, just the way you like it."

There's a gentle knock on Cindy's bedroom door, followed by the soft click of the door handle turning.

"I'll leave your breakfast right here on your bedside table. Freshly toasted bread, crispy bacon, and scrambled eggs. It's waiting for you whenever you decide to wake up."

The gentle clinking of dishes being placed down accompanies Martin's words, as he leaves the breakfast tray within arm's reach of Cindy's bed, hoping that the enticing aroma will eventually coax her out of her cozy cocoon.

'...' *sniff sniff* *tsk*

Opening her eyes she popped her head open out her blanket seeing the hot juicy and freaking fresh breakfast in her eyes waiting just for her...

'Dang it!'

As Cindy's nostrils twitched at the tantalizing scent of breakfast, her stomach grumbled in agreement, reminding her of the delicious feast waiting just inches away.

*Grumbling* "Okay, okay... I'm getting up."

With a reluctant sigh, she finally succumbed to the irresistible aroma and threw off her blanket, her feet meeting the cool surface of the bedroom floor.

The rhythmic sound of her footsteps echoed through the room as she made her way to the bedside table, her eyes fixed on the mouthwatering spread laid out before her.

"Well played, Dad. Well played."

With a grin, she grabbed a piece of toast and took a satisfying bite, savoring the crispiness of the bacon and the warmth of the eggs.

"Guess Sunday mornings aren't so bad after all."

As she indulged in her breakfast feast, the sun began to peek through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room and signaling the start of a lazy, relaxing day ahead.

*ping* she looked at her phone to see a message from her friend.

___

"Why does this Sunday morning suck~ I just want to sleep, why did I go outside~"

Looking out his blanket he hears and smells the coffee brewing, positive he's being robbed of his sleep and rest, looking at his closet he uses his webs to grab clothes out.

Peter Parker let out a tired groan as he peeled himself out of bed, his muscles aching from the previous day's escapade, he had ventured out into Harlem only to find out there's more then thugs or the regular mugger but a whole gang he poked, he was just testing out the powers he had gained, no harm? no foil?...

thinking about the 3 men, he thought what would happen if they were alive if they killed him.

'...they would kill whoever I loved, is what they said...hahaha, you were wearing a mask, but i will come back and settle the score'

Dragging himself to the bathroom changing his clothes and washing his brown hair, he goes to the kitchen.

"Mornin Peter. You look like you could use some extra sleep," Mr. Stacy remarked, but concern evident as he glanced at Peter's fatigued expression.

"He went out yesterday George, stayed out until 10:00 pm" Mrs.Stacy said while sipping her coffee.

Peter managed a weak smile in response, muttering a half-hearted agreement as he reached for a mug of coffee.

"yeah I was... with my friends, hanging out in the city"

He was grateful for the Stacys' kindness and understanding, but he can't just tell them he's a genetically enhanced super human able to lift what Spiders can lift 50 to 170 times there body weight.

"oh then pete be more careful outside there's been an incident in harlem"

"Okey I'll be more careful...*Mumble* to not cause the same thing"

As he sank into a chair at the kitchen table, Peter couldn't help think the simplicity of his pre-powers life, where the only thing on his mind was getting through the day unnoticed, but thinking about how much fun it was to swing around the city by himself...*sigh*

'life won't be the same after experiencing that kind of freedom... but I'll do it again...'

*coffee sip* *sigh*

gwen came out of her room with a stack of papers looking at peter.

*Ahem* "pete, I need help with this homework will you be available for today?"

*coffee sip* "your like smarter than me in school, first place, but sure I'll Humor you"

"Great! I'll go call my friends I have another friend to introduce you to and we will help them with their homework"

"hey, I didn't say I'll be-"

"Peter, are you going back on your words?"

*stare*

"I said-"

*stare~*

'hah she's like a sister to me, I never said no to her, why start now'

"Fine, fine I'll go, but where are we going?"

"Were going to a cafe near midtown high"

Once peter agreed they finished up breakfast and had Mr.Stacy drive them to were they would do their homework and quite possibly hangout.

___

<20 minutes later arriving at the cafe>

"hi"

"hello"

"sup" *yawn*

the three girls were there when peter and gwen arrived leaving only Gwen's friend to arrive next, peter hearing a vehicle pull up he sees her new friend she met at midtown.

"HI gwen, mj, Liz, and Felicia and this must be~*snap* peter parker"

"Peter, this is Cindy moon, and Cindy this is Peter parker we are all here to hangout together." Gwen said

"you mean help them with homework right gwen?" peter said keeping her on track.

"ah yes yes that too...*smirk* or we could use this day to hangout and go around the city like a good friend group."

"after this I'm going back home, and back to bed" peter reminds her with his eyebrow up.

"Oh~ peter after this we have a good hangout, right~" *smirk of all knowing*

"..." *looking at a monster in human skin*

___

As they settled in, Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and belonging in the company of Gwen and her friends. Despite his initial reluctance, he found himself enjoying their banter and camaraderie, she's a good friend with everyone she interacts with, including me.

"Yes that's the correct answer, for this you take b and ground it here in c and have a later~"

"Oh yeah this one was a little hard, I guess that makes it easier thanks pete, what about~"

"gwen what happens when d takes c but leaves a for~"

*tired yawn*

As they chatted and sipped their drinks, doing whatever homework they brought, Cindy Moon caught sight of a vehicle out the window in the distance, thinking it's just her father's bodyguards, she doesn't think much of it, she knew he couldn't take any chances, not after what happened to her mother...

Gwen's suggestion of spending the day together exploring the city did spark a glimmer of excitement with the group, so when they were done by lunch they went for a walk to central park, but not before they see the city's life and how much people are living their life in the city.

peter thought It had been a while since he actually went to places with gwen so he tagged along.

However, a nagging voice in the back of his mind reminded him of the dangers lurking in the city's darkness from what he remembered.

___

<30 minutes later close to central park>

"so one of those girls is who boss wants right?"

"yeah the Maggia will reward us for capturing the girl"

"what girl do we need?."

"Doesn't matter we cut them off and grab all of them, kill the boy if he does anything, remember we take all of them in the van"

"Is She protected? or did we take care of them"

"yeah we took care of them alright were ex military and their specialists aren't bad but were better"

___

*chatting*

'Peter's finally out with me... and I'm not sure what to say... i could get him to walk me home no wait we live in the same home..." while gwen was wandering what she could do to have more time with peter, someone else was thinking the same.

'he's seen me first and other boys are already asking me out, why isn't he asking it's just a few words i even gave him hints... I could blackmail him, no wait maybe I could just ask him some boys are idiots in taking hints...' mj's been trying to get Peter's attention all school week and he's not even taking the hot stuff right in front of him, maybe she'll have to make him jealous.

Peter's mind right now is in another place he's thinking of doing other things like how to make money for his future and repay the 12 year debt he's going to make to the Stacys for keeping him, they might not mind him not paying anything back but, he's already made his mind on his goal.

'pay them back, have a home, save this ci- no, not that, why can't I get that word out my head... I may have powers, but I'm not hero material, leave that to iron man'

peter stopped walking he's having another sensory overload and this time he couldn't walk straight.

Overwhelmed by the cacophony of sounds, the blinding glare of the sun, and the suffocating smell he's not able to make stop.

" *echo* peter? *echo* peter!" gwen said something but he found himself collapsed on the ground his heightened senses screaming at him.

When his senses stopped overwhelming him for a moment, he sees his friend being dragged away from him with her flailing her arms getting in a van.

"No! Peter!" "Get in the fucken van before I lose my mind!" Driving off, peter has difficulty getting up, he's dizzy.

"gw-Gwen!"

Getting up he looks around the area and starts running towards were the van was, looking down the road he sees the van already turning towards other buildings,

he sling shot himself up and started Running up the buildings and he makes his way towards them, he went in his backpack for his black zip hoodie throwing his backpack on the roof he dashed his way toward the ledge and leaps across 2 rooftops

*crack!*

he hears a dispatch radio from the cop car below, there's a chance someone could lose their life today if anything happens to gwen.

"Faster"

Landing on the other roof checking his web shooters and grabbing his black ski mask with his goggles, then without hesitation, he sprints forward with so much more speed not caring if someone sees him, he leaps, when his jumps was at its peak, he falls, some would look up and see a man falling and those who did looked away and screamed while some just watched him fall with surprised faces.

he brings his wrist forward he doesn't need to aim to know it's going to hit a another building.

*twhip!*

"Faster!" Swinging by more buildings he noticed the police car following a speeding vehicle looking forward he see the van turn again, he falls below letting the momentum carry him down shooting another web he swings and goes over the buildings knowing where the vans headed.

'it's heading towards the bridge!'

shooting another web after falling he swings launching himself forward,

"Faster!!!" Shooting another web on a building 70 stories high, he sling shot himself up higher then 100 story buildings, he free falls shooting webs below grabbing the other ledges of buildings 50 stories high he pulls going down faster while his speeds going up he shoots two more lines at the buildings ahead Swinging himself faster then what humans are capable of achieving across the whole street reaching the van, hearing the banging on the van walls,

he falls in front of it flipping and landing on the front window seeing inside

*slow mo* "what the fuck?" Seeing the driver and passenger and the other in the back who he marked as enemies, he looks behind them on the vans floors and sees them safe but also scared.

'Don't worry gwen I found you'

while shooting webs on both sides of the vehicle hitting the buildings and letting the van slow down itself, he sees the men pull out their handguns and fire at him

he pushes his legs off from the van dodging the rounds and with one backflip he lands seeing the van stop he stomped *Crack* breaking the ground and going in the vans front windshield breaking it and grabbing two out the van and kicking the other guy out the back doors hearing his ribs brake he throws them to the ground and he fired his web shooters making sure they'd never move.

he thought it was over when his senses sent a danger signal.

*tap tap tap tap* *shing*

dodging a sword he pushed the man away from him seeing that its the same sword Freak from before.

"hah hah hah do you have any Idea what my mind is in right now?" peter said to him

after flipping through the air he lands

"I'll be bringing in your head to show my training, *shing* your heroics end here"

"that word again, fine, okay, bring it on, I'll break that sword and the hand that wields it"

*Dash* *Dash!*

*Hah!* *thud* *thud*

the second fight starts, he kicked the man but he dodges it, he slashed the katana but I avoid it, I'll be faster then his speed, I'll use what I learned.

*twhip-twhip-twhip*

'I'll think ahead'

*slash-cut-swish*

I pushed forward my adrenaline still up from chasing the vehicle looking around i grab a manhole cover, I now block the sword with every chance I get.

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

Sparks are flying and my shield is losing pieces but I could care less, throwing it, I run up he slashed the shield in half seeing me, I grabbed his arm while he uses the other to stab but i twist my body aiming him above the air throwing him up he's trying to correct himself but I start shooting him getting his legs he falls.

*thud*

landing on a vehicle, I walk towards him grabbing both his katana and his arm I break both with the arm making a sickening crack. *agh!*

'he won't be hurting anyone for awhile probably even never'

but he says something with a broken mask.

*smirk* "You hah, can never run away now, boy"

"Soo this is the trouble I'm dealing with, student, my time is wasted" Said a man on a rooftops wearing a white mask thats designed with black striped markings.

"don't worry, inferior, I made sure no one will come here by 4 blocks, I'll kill this one before any cops show up" *shiing* "now die by the sin of Pride!"

"...i just wanted to save them damn it" he got ready with a stance.

'Why can't my days be normal?'
