**Distrust is like a flame, starting from the spark of a little white lie or precaution causing it's own self destruction. The supports crumbling under the burn of fear causing the building of trust to dissipate into ash**
I'd rescued that ladies purse two weeks ago, of course no one thought that, they thought I was working with the theif, but who cares. I'd also added these gauntlet type things to my suit, they add electricity to some webs and cause them to cone out of the top of the gauntlet, opposite of where the normal webs come out. But now I'm swinging across the city, I heard sirens so I swung out of my window. I see smoke rising and and stand on the top of a building. There's a burning building and people are screaming, I hear a lady yell that her little girl was in there to a firemen and pointing. I quickly swung into the window she was pointing at. The room was hot, obviously, there was smoke everywhere and I couldn't see, I got on my hands and knees looking. Breathing was hard and I heard something, I crawled through the building and pushed a door open, the room was empty of fire and didn't have smoke, a walked in standing, shutting the door so smoke couldn't come in. I looked around and was drawn to the bottom of the bed. I bent down looking under.
"Hey there" I pulled my mask to revel my nose and mouth, I smiled trying to humanize myself and calm the child.
"H-hi" the kid looked afraid.
"Come on, let's get out of here, your moms looking for you." I reached out my had slowly. The kid grabbed my hand and I pulled the kid out. "You wanna swing to your mom?" The kid nodded a little less tense. The smoke started coming into the room, I picked up the kid and walked out the window, I swing across the road and jumped onto the ground, I let the kid down and it ran to its mom. I heard possible 'thank you!' Or 'oh my gosh!' as I swung off.
I landed onto the street near my house and started taking my suit off. I put it in my bag and started walking home, I looked at my mask which had a burnt mark, deciding to attempt to make the suit fireproof. I touched my forehead realizing it must have got burnt, it stung a little but it wasn't that noticeable. I pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen sitting down, propping my shoulders on the island. I hadn't seen my father(peter) until he coughed to get my attention, I almost fell over looking at him, he was sitting there reading the paper, sipping coffee (made from a coffee brewer which he had apparently bought dad for a birthday some time before I was born) and looking at the news on his phone of what was currently happening.
" Oh heyyyyyyy...." I smiled and he cocked his brow.
"Where were you?" He sipped his coffee suspiciously.
"I saw the news and decided to go check out the fire" I tried saying convincingly.
"I didn't see you leave, I've been here all morning?" He put the paper down.
"I went out the back door" I smiled.
"Mkay" He looked at the news on his phone sipping his coffee. I stood up and walked to the stove, father had cooked wheat cakes as usual. I put the remaining two on a plate and walked back to the island and started eating.
"This masked figure" Father said to himself.
"Hmm?" I looked up.
"Oh, it's just this yellow vigilante, this morning, he rescued a little girl, but two weeks ago, he stole an old ladies locket, I just don't know what to think" he rubbed his brow.
I chocked "I don't think he stole it"
"Well, if he didn't, what happened to it, it was the only thing he didn't give back, and there wasn't really anything else to steal"
"Mmm" I stuffed my mouth "I'm going outside!" I put the plate in the dish washer and grabbed my bag running out the back door. I struggled to put the suit on while running, once I put it on, I used a web to swing up and around the city. I landed in the alley and looked around, lifting things and moving them. I saw something and picked it up, it was some old locket, it was gold, like actual gold, I opened it and there was a photo of a man and and woman kissing each other in front of a quaint little house. It was really sweet, I picked the little photo up and turnwd it over revealing an address on the back, along with the date 5-09-73, the street was still there, but I didn't know about the house. I put the photo back and closed the locket swinging towards the street, I landed and walked down the street looking at each of the addresses. There was no one on the street, which was a blessing for me as I didn't want the cops attempting to arrest me again. I walked up to a house and stopped, it was the right address, did the lady still leave there? I walked up the steps and to the door, hesitating slightly before ringing the doorbell, after a few minutes, a lady in her 80s opened the door, gasping a little.
"I'm not trying to hurt you!" I said putting my hands up. "I just want to return something" opening my right hand a bit showing the locket.
"Come in" She used her cane to pull me in and shut the door, then she quickly lead me to what seemed to be here living room "sit" She commanded and I did, handing her the locket. "So you steal my dearest possession, just to hand it back with the risk of getting arrested? You are the worst criminal"
"No, I'm not a criminal, I was trying to save your purse, but I think I threw your locket when I threw the purse to the officers, I'm really really sorr-"
"Shh" She whispered "tea?" She asked
"Uh, uhm, n-no thanks"
"You remind me of him" she said sipping her tea and grasping the locket tightly.
"Is he the man in the locket?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, he was my husband, we had only been married for a week in that photo, just after buying this house" she smiled but a tear rolled down her face.
"He-he died, didn't he?" I asked cautiously.
"Yes, he was being a hero, he was trying to stop a criminal, but got shot blocking a bullet from hitting a pregnant women, it was just two days after taking that photo" She now had more tears but wasn't making any crying noises.
"I'm really sorry for your loss" I said apologetically.
"It's OK, that was 65 years ago, and you're not the one who did it" I smiled, empathetic for the elderly women, suddenly, there were sirens heard, I looked towards the front of the house seeing red and blue. "Leave now, back-door!" She stood up creeping to the front door as I swung out the back, seeing two cop cars and the lady talking to three officers, I smiled warmly.

I was sitting there one the couch rolled up in a blanket when dad and father came down stairs. "Hey dad, father"
"Hey rascal" dad said rubbing my hair as father fixed his tie "we're going out to dinner, there's food in the fridge, but I think you should watch the news" He said changing the channel, there was a report over the days 'incidents' with the mysterious Sulphur Spider. "Have fun!" Dad kissed my forehead and father hugged my snuggled up self and they left.
"Today, the masked vigilante known as 'Sulphur Spider' saved a little girl from a fire and returned a lost locket to an elder who loves the city" the news lady said showing pics of him throughout the day. "He saved my little Maddy when no one else could" the lady from the fire said "he didn't even ask for anything, not even recognition" the video then changed to an interview of the elderly lady from earlier " He found my lost locket my husband gave me the day he died, he returned it without asking for anything" I turned off the TV smiling before the interviewer, J, could say anything. I got suited up and swung out to check on the city, I sat on a building when my sense went off and I heard a yell, swinging to an alley, there was a girl getting attacked, I swung down landing on the men and grabbed the purse they had taken, I reached back up to the web rope grabbing it with my feet and turned to see the girl.
"I think this is yours-" it was Kaylee, and she was staring at me as she took the purse.
"Um, thank you" She pushed her hair behind her ear. "I saw you in the news, thanks for returning the locket back to Ms. Kindley, we all knew you didn't steal it"
"Uh, just a hero's work" She was inching towards me and I didn't realize it till she pulled my mask revealing my nose and mouth as she grabbed my face kissing me, we both blushed but she couldn't see most of my face.
I was enjoying before it stopped and I'd realized I'd just kissed my best friend, of course she didn't know that. "I-uh"
"Your pay for a hero's work" She smiled softly.
"Uh, bye" I said swinging off, blushing and yelling at myself for enjoying that as she waved softly at me.
