It's been half a month since you had officially named yourself Spider-Man. Since then, you had passed your search for Flint Marko and became the full-time hero Peter was. You were saving the people of New York from every day crimes such as muggings, you were helping out like getting a cat down from a tree and giving people directions and even stopping some quick thief jobs like grand theft purse.

However, since that night at the bridge, George had put out a warrant for your arrest. Many have disagreed with this action and went against it, especially J. Jonah Jameson who had praised you for your heroics, even if you did let some of the criminals get away. He understood since you had to save a young boy, which he was thankful for since that was the son of one of his best reporters.

As of now, you were resting on the ledge of a rooftop. You taking a short break from weekend patrol after dealing with cops you had managed to get away from. You even got a hot chocolate from a coffee shop that liked you. You saved their manager/owner, so he gave you free access to the food and drinks of his shop.

Anyway, why didn't the police like you? You were trying to help them. Sure, you weren't a cop, but no one treated Peter this way when he was Spider-Man. Why you? Was it because you were more aggressive? Maybe you didn't tell enough jokes. You weren't always good with them. Peter was always better at quips.

"Hey, uh, Spider-Man?"

You look down from the ledge you were on to see Gwen looking up at you. She had a camera in her hand which had a strap around her neck. You look around before leaping off, flipping through the air before landing on a lamp post. You hang upside-down from it with a web.

Y/n: "Uh, hey, miss. What's up?"

Gwen: "My name is Gwen, and I'm a reporter for the Daily Bugle."

Y/n: "Oh, really?"

Gwen: "Yeah, and I'm trying to get a raise. Jameson said whoever got the best pics of you got it, and uh..."

As she spoke, you took a drink from your hot chocolate upside-down. This made Gwen look at you in awe.

Gwen: "How are you...?"

Y/n: "Practice. Now, from what I'm hearing, you just want some pics of me, right?"

Gwen: "Uh, right! Yeah. Can I?"

She holds up her camera with a hopeful smile on her face. You smile and nod.

Y/n: "Sure thing. Give me a sec."

You then down the rest of your hot beverage and then throw it into a nearby garbage can. You then pull your mask back down over your mouth before grabbing onto the lamp post and spinning around it. You cling onto it and look at the photographer.

Y/n: "Alright. I'm ready."

Gwen smiles at this and begins to take pictures of you. You do multiple poses and even begin to talk with her. It was only ten minutes, but the photographer got tons of great photos of you. However, you had noticed that she looked down, so you decided to ask her.

Y/n: "Hey, Miss Stacy. You okay?"

Gwen: "Just call me Gwen."

Y/n: "Right. Gwen. Is something wrong?"

Gwen: "It's nothing, just..." *lowers camera* "It's my friend, Y/n Parker. I'm worrying about him."

Y/n: "How so?"

Gwen: "He's been disappearing a lot. I'm pretty sure he's lying about something and keeping it a secret, and it's worrying me."

Y/n: "Oh?"

Gwen: "Yeah. He tends to take burden his shoulders with a lot of stuff, and he doesn't like it when someone helps him. The stubborn Parker genes, I guess. Heheh... I just want to help him, but he won't let me."

You looked at the blonde with wide eyes. You never realized that she felt that way. You mean, you knew that you were burdening yourself with being Spider-Man and whatnot, but you didn't want Gwen to worry. She was your friend.

Y/n: "Well, maybe you shouldn't worry."

Gwen: "What?"

Y/n: "From what little I've heard of this... Y/n, he's a strong guy who probably knows what he's doing. If he needs help, he'll ask you."

Gwen: "H-how do you know?"

You wanted to tell her right then. You wanted to say because he was you, but you couldn't. She would be in danger if she knew.

Y/n: "Because I know people like that. Hell, I've been told I'm like that. But he'll be fine, trust me. Though, you should probably tell him how you feel about him."

Gwen: "Yeah. Maybe I will."

You smile under your mask and nod at this. Then a car speeds by with three police cruisers chasing after it. You follow them with your eyes before turning back to Gwen. She only smiles and laughs.

Gwen: "Go on. I got all the pictures I need. You go save the day."

Y/n: "Have a nice day, Gwen. And be safe!"

You jump off the lamp post and leap through the air. You fire some webs and swing away, before pulling on one last web and flying away.

Gwen smiles as she had been keeping her camera fixed on you. But it wasn't because she was taking pictures. She was taking a video, like she had the entire time. There were no pictures, and there was no raise. It was just a cover-up for what she was really doing: trying to see who Spider-Man really was. And she had a hunch that it may be you.

Timeskip...

It's been a full two hours since you had talked to Gwen. She hadn't called you about telling you how she felt about you disappearing all the time, but you didn't mind it. She had already told you, even if she didn't know she was talking to her friend. You would confront her and apologize for always leaving for no apparent or some terrible reason. Maybe ask her out on a date to make up for what happened at her place.

You liked that idea. A nice date. You'd take her to a restaurant and pay for everything. You would then take her to watch a movie, maybe. It would be such a nice night. And if it turned out good, maybe a second date would be in order.

You suddenly noticed the swarm of police cruisers speeding down the street. You grew curious because of this and consult FRIDAY.

Y/n: "FRIDAY, what's with the units heading down third?"

FRIDAY: "Good ol' Herman Shultz, aka The Shocker. He's robbing a store nearby."

Y/n: "Wasn't he recently paroled?"

FRIDAY: "Yep. It obviously didn't take. Let's go teach him a lesson."

Y/n: "I like your way of thinking. Let's go!"

You run across a rooftop and leap off of it. You then swing over to the street by firing two webs.

Y/n: "So I just got done with taking pictures with my crush, and now I'm going after a guy who uses shockwaves to attack and rob people. What a normal life you live, Y/n Parker."

You swing your way towards the location FRIDAY pinged on your HUD. It was only a few mere minutes before you arrived at the location which was a jewelry store. You land on a lamp post, and the window of the jewelry shop shatters to pieces as a man in a suit wearing giant metal gauntlets crashes through it. He lands on the ground, and you notice his new suit. From what Peted had told you when he first fought him, he only wore a jacket with a makeshift gauntlet. Now he wore something like armor.

Y/n: "Hey there, Shultz."

Shocker: "Seriously? I have to deal with a web-head copycat? Grr!"

He immediately flies off into the air by firing his shock-gauntlets. You sigh as you fire a web and swing after him.

Shocker: "Give it up, Spider-Boy! You ain't gonna catch me!"

Y/n: "Spider-Man! And what're you talking about? You got taken down by the original, so that means I can take you as well!"

Shocker: "I don't wanna hurt you! It'll only slow me down!"

Y/n: "Considerate."

You say and swing to another street to chase after Herman. You then web-zip onto a rooftop ledge and jump off of it. You then fire a web at another and pull yourself over it, flying by a water tower at the same time.

Y/n: "What's the money for, Shultz?"

Shocker: "Why do you care?"

Y/n: "I don't. Just need to find your reason for robbery so it'll be easier for you to get back in prison. Preferably Rhykers!"

Shocker: "I ain't goin' back to prison!"

Y/n: "Sucks! Looks like I'm gonna break some bones, though! Makes it more fun."

Shocker: "You're crazy!"

Y/n: "Says the man using highly dangerous vibrations and wearing high-tech gauntlets to rob people!"

Shocker: "Pot, meet kettle!"

Y/n: "Okay, I set myself up for that one."

You say and web-zip to The Shocker. You slam into him and you two crash onto a rooftop, with you pinning him down.

Y/n: "Alright. Let's talk, Shultz."

Shocker: "NO! MORE! TALKING!"

The thief activates his vibration gauntlets and hits you with a backhand. You grunt before Shultz spins around and punches you in the face. You get knocked off from his back and he blasts off with a shockwave.

Y/n: "Noted. I didn't want to talk anyway."

You grunt and get back up to your feet. Then you web-zip after the masked criminal.

Y/n: "C'mon, Shultz, why are you robbing again? You know that after Toomes, the police are watching you! Especially since this was supposed to he your parol!"

You web-zip forward to get closer to Shocker before flipping through the air.

Then your senses go off and you narrowly avoid a shockwave-blast aimed directly at you. You spin around in the air before firing another web, continuing your pursuit.

Y/n: "You can't be that stupid! Which means you're desperate, and you're not just stealing for yourself. Who're you working for, Shultz?"

You move out of the way to avoid another shockwave-blast which tears up a billboard.

Y/n: "You can tell me now, or after I break both your arms! Your choice!"

Shocker: "I've already said enough."

You sigh as you swing after The Shocker, dodging his attacks as you get closer and closer. Then you get close enough where you fire another web at his back and zip over to him. You grab onto him and slam him into the ground. You pin him to the ground and web one of his arms to the street, and you catch his other gauntlet when he tried to punch you. However, he uses his other gauntlet to break the webs on him and tries to hit you. You dodge and he goes to fire a blast at you, but you fire an impact web at his body which webbed his arms across his chest and to the ground.

Y/n: "You know, Shultz, for someone of your caliber, you have a pretty neat suit. How about a chat about suit design?"

Shocker: "You can shove it!"

Y/n: "Fair enough."

Timeskip...

Not long after, the police arrived to arrest Herman and bring him back to prison. They tried to arrest you, too, but someone stopped them.

???: "Leave him be, boys. He's on our side."

The cops turn to see an African-American officer walking up to them.

NYPD Officer #1: "Come on, Lieutenant! He has warrant."

NYPD Lieutenant: "Yeah, and I'm saying I don't care. Leave him be. I'll deal with the captain."

The cops sigh and walk off to deal with Herman. You turn to the African-American who had helped you.

Y/n: "Thanks for your help, Lieutenant...?"

Lieutenant Davis: "Jefferson Davis. And thanks for your help, Spider-Man."

Y/n: "It's no problem. Just doing what I can."

Lieutenant Davis: "And that's all we can do."

(Portrayed by Will Smith)

"Did you get anything out of Shultz? His motives?"

Y/n: "Nah. He isn't very talkative. Plus, he probably hates me."

Lieutenant Davis: "Yeah, well, you apparently have that effect on a lot of people."

Y/n: "Well, I know that. Most of your department wants my head."

Lieutenant Davis: "Well, not me. I'm thankful for your help. With how the world is nowadays, we need more than just the police."

Y/n: "Wow... I think that's the nicest thing a cop has ever said to me. Mind giving me a lollipop, too?"

Lieutenant Davis: "I'm not that kind of cop, kid."

Y/n: "Well, it was worth the try."

Davis simply laughs before turning away and bidding you goodbye. You do the same and swing off into the city.

Y/n: "Alright, I got some time before I gotta head back home. FRIDAY, what you got for me?"

FRIDAY: "We have an active drug deal going on back at Third."

Y/n: "On it."

You the fire a web and swing your way to stop the drug deal.
