(A/N: For some reason, this was described as the 16th chapter despite Chapter 16 already being out, had to fix it. Something must be wrong with wattpad)

—————

Quickly changing out of the costume and leaving the arena, Peter saw Ben waiting by his car before waving his bag over at his uncle, indicating he is going to get rid of it, and Ben nods before seeing his retiring nephew head for the nearest alleyway to look for a dumpster, unaware that someone was lurking in the shadows behind him.

—————

Once he got to the nearest dumpster, Peter lifted the lid to the sight of the empty interior before hanging the bag over it. "Goodbye, Spider-Man." He said before he dropped the bag into the dumpster, and closed it. He then prepared to leave the alleyway when he heard shouting close by.

"Help!" A woman called out. "Help!" Peter turned to the sound of the voice and ran down to the other side of the alleyway, eventually exiting it before turning to see someone being chased by a few people. "Somebody stop him!" It was a teenaged boy with badly dyed blonde hair, who was wearing a grey jacket, white shirt, black jeans and grey tennis shoes. "That guy just robbed me!" He had a gym bag which was full of money under his left arm as a teenaged girl with red hair, wearing an orange jacket, white sweater, black jeans and grey heels with a bandage around her forehead, and a few other men were trying to chase after him. "Stop that guy!" Peter doesn't listen to her, and instead moved aside to let the thief pass by, who briefly looks at him and smirked as a compliment. "Stop him! He's got my father's money!" The girl stopped next to Peter as he watched the thief take a right while the two men continued chasing him before she then grabbed hold of Peter, and forces the retired wrestler back with his back to the wall. "What the hell were you thinking, Parker?! You should've at least stopped him!"

"That is a problem without my name on it, Skylor." He simply replied, sarcastically repeating what her father had said to him. The girl scoffed before backing away and kept running, hoping to catch up with the men chasing the thief. Shaking his head from his choice of words, Peter turns back into the alleyway to head back to Ben.

—————

As he slowly walked along the alleyway, Peter was thinking about what his uncle said to him prior to his final match, rejecting Chen's offer, and wondering if letting the thief go was wrong. His thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of something. Like a gunshot. Upon hearing that it was close by, Peter ran down as fast as he could until he got out of the alleyway.

—————

The moment he did, Peter notices Ben's car taking off. "HEY!" He called out, moving his arms up, in anger. "WHAT THE HELL?! THAT'S MY UNCLE'S CAR!!"

He then turned to see someone on the ground, who he wasn't expecting, being tended to by a few people. "Is someone gonna call 911?!" A teenaged girl in black clothes, with white hair and a small bump at her stomach called out as she had her gloved hands on, to Peter's shock, Ben's wound. "He's bleeding! Call the damn ambulance!"

"Uncle Ben!" He runs over to the group which were the same men chasing Chad and a few random people, pushes through them, and knelt down to Ben as the girl looked at him. "Uncle Ben? Uncle Ben, wake up." He doesn't hear a reply, and immediately sheds a few tears. "Uncle Ben, please." He turned to the group. "Someone call 911! Call 911 now!"

A woman was pointing to her phone to let him know she was doing it. "Mister, can you hear me?"

"Uncle Ben." Peter started shaking the body. "Uncle Ben, come on, wake up!"

"Yes, some guy just came up to him, shot him, and took his car." The woman spoke on the phone. "He's not moving at all."

"Uncle Ben." Peter started to shed a few tears at the sight of his uncle. "Uncle Ben."

—————

It was already too late. Police officers on scene later told him that the bullet, a 50 AE., had already passed through and instantly killed his uncle upon impact.

—————

At the 6th precinct where he was brought in to ask a few simple questions, clutching a cup of coffee in his hand, almost to the point of crushing it, Peter was waiting by an officer's desk as Geoff came up to him. "Mr. Parker." He said, immediately recognising him as the one who stopped Chad the first time, as well as dating his niece. "I told the officer in charge that I will be taking your statement." He soon sat down and got out a notepad.

"Aunt May got sick." Peter started to explain why he was around the crime scene. "I took up the job as a photographer for the Daily Bugle. When it wasn't enough, I became a wrestler for a guy called Pythor Chumsworth. Eventually, I had enough to pay for her medical bills, it's also how I paid for those dates with Felicia." He didn't care that he was spilling the secret to his girlfriend's legal guardian, who was surprised by his confession, but continued to listen. "Uncle Ben found out, so I told Chen that I'm giving up. I was getting rid of my suit while he waited for me. I don't know what happened next, but when I heard the shot, I ran out and saw the guy take off with his car, and Uncle Ben was on the ground. It's my fault that my uncle's dead."

Geoff immediately puts a hand on his shoulder. "We all make mistakes, son. Some small, some big. I think you've had enough trauma for one night, so I'll have an officer drive you home." He soon got up and walked away as Peter watches him head for a nearby table where two other officers were. "Suspect may be in this perimeter, the way he took off in the victim's car."

Radio crackling was soon heard from a nearby radio as Peter then turned to it while standing up. "All available units, stolen car reported being seen on Vesey Street." An officer spoke through the radio. Geoff and the officers quickly took off upon hearing the report. "Heading for an abandoned warehouse in the vicinity."

"This is Detective Hardy, acknowledged and en route. ETA, 10 minutes." Geoff spoke into his own radio. Without hesitation, Peter gets up and walks out of the station, grabbing a nearby police radio as he did so, which Skylor, who was close by, noticed.

—————

The first thing Peter did when he left the station was heading back to the alleyway where he got rid of the wrestling suit, came up to the dumpster, opened it to find the bag still there, dives in, and grabs it. Once he got out, Peter opened the bag and got out the mask.

—————

The police had chased the stolen car throughout the city for a few minutes until it reached an abandoned warehouse where it rolled over onto its roof when it came onto some stairs. The killer had then started to fire his Beretta 92FS at the responding officers as he went in. "Shots fired!" An officer yelled as they quickly took cover.

—————

Arriving at the warehouse before landing on the roof of an adjoining one, a completely revenge drawn Spider-Man saw through a broken window where the killer had barricaded the door, preventing the police from getting in before heading upstairs to resume firing at the officers while more joined in. Spider-Man soon jumps onto the rooftop and heads over to the skylight. "I'm coming for you." He muttered as he prepared to dive in.

—————

The killer, sporting a bandanna and ball cap, didn't care that he was wasting bullets as he only fired one shot at a time, while the cops, joined by two more, fired a lot. "What's the matter, pigs?" He asked, taunting them, as he fired his gun out the window at the officers before moving in a corner as the officers resume fire. "You all out of bullets?" He fires another shot, causing the officers to fire again. "That's the only way you're gonna get me!" He then chuckles before firing another shot.

But while he was shooting at them, Spider-Man jumps in from behind him and taps his shoulder. "Hey!" He called out at the same time. The killer turned to face him, only to end up with a fist to the face. "You kill an old man, and for what? His car?" Briefly fazed by the sudden punch, the killer raises his gun at Spider-Man, and fired at him, but the former wrestler had jumped up to avoid the bullets before the killer's gun then clicked dry. Spider-Man then quickly dropped down while kicking the empty gun out of his hand before he had a chance to reload, sending it flying out the broken window, raised a foot to kick him back, and punches him, knocking his hat off in the process.

Briefly fazed by the punch, the killer tried to fight back by kicking him, but Spider-Man grabbed hold of his leg and turns it, causing him to shriek in pain, falls down, and tries to crawl back, very scared. "Don't hurt me." As he slowly walked over to him, Spider-Man immediately took off his mask and threw it aside so that his face would be the last thing his uncle's killer would see before the deed is done. "Just give me a chance. Just give me a chance!"

"What about my uncle? Did you give him a chance? Did you!?" Peter soon grabbed hold of him, forced him up, moves him towards the wall, where there was little reflection from the skylight, and pulls off his bandanna to show the killer's pained face becoming a scared and surprised one. Peter was soon shocked upon the realisation that his uncle's killer was the boy with badly dyed blonde hair. But what shocked him even more was that the boy was none other than Chad Exspiravit, who was the same kid who would often bully him at school, the kid that caused the Ninjago Force to receive their powers and the kid that he managed to stop from fleeing from the police when they came to arrest him. "Chad." Peter lets go of him and backs away, still shocked.

Chuckling at the still shocked former wrestler, Chad slowly got out another gun from behind the back of his jeans, and aimed it at Peter's head. He instantly knew it was a Desert Eagle, one of the few guns that can fire 50 AE. bullets. "Say goodbye, Parker." Frustrated at the threat, consumed with vengeance, and angered at the sight of him, Peter quickly grabs his wrist, and turns it instantly, immediately breaking it, causing Chad to scream while the gun fell out of his hand. "Please, Parker." Chad begged as he tried to back away, but falls down due to his broken leg. "My girlfriend's going to have a baby."

"Good luck raising the kid behind bars." Peter sarcastically told him before grabbing hold of Chad and throws him somewhere. "Just gonna send some letters to your lovely."

—————

The moment the gun had came out the window, officers tried to find a way into the warehouse before eventually finding a door which they immediately broke down to get in.

—————

Once they were in, they shun their torches around before they see someone in a red, black and blue leather leotard, with their back to them, webbing something up, and shun their lights at the person. "Freeze, NYPD!" One of the officers yelled.

Spider-Man complies before immediately firing two web lines onto the ceiling, and jumps, using the web lines like bungee cords to get to the broken skylight. "Unit 13, suspicious individual in red and blue leotard just exited the warehouse via skylight." An officer said into his radio as some looked at what he webbed up. It was Chad, whose face was covered, tied around his waist with webbing, and was hanging from the ceiling, upside down. "Give me confirmation."

"Negative." An officer on the other end of the radio replied as the officers start to get Chad down. "I didn't see anything."

"Then where did he go?" One of the officers heads over to the restrained Chad before noticing a note and uses a pen to unfold it, and sees a message on it. 'Chad Exspiravit, the kid responsible for the Ninjago Force becoming what they are, and the killer of Benjamin Franklin Parker. From Spider-Man.' "Spider-Man?" The officers look at each other in confusion.

—————

Spider-Man looked on from the rooftop of a nearby building to see the officers take the still webbed up Chad over to a nearby police car. "Good riddance." He muttered before turning around to head over to the edge.
