From way up on top of the Citadel, Insomnia was gorgeous. The city was known for being marvelous throughout Eos. But the fact that it just felt like home was the icing on the cake. Pulling out his camera from the backpack stashed next to him he snapped a shot of the sun setting across the cityscape. As he was putting it away he felt the vibration of his phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey – are you here right now?"

It was Noctis. Here?

Oh snap. Today was one of the days the Prince was visiting the Citadel. But how did he know that Prompto was there?

"Uh… no? You mean the Citadel right? Nada."

"Huh. The GPS on your phone says you're here."

Craaaaap. "Right. Well. You see - I dropped my phone in a puddle earlier and its been acting kinda wonky. I bet its just glitching on the location part."

Noctis hummed. "Too bad. Iggy's making something awesome for dinner. Thought you'd be interested if you were near by."

"Iggy is always making something good for dinner." Prompto pointed out.

"True. What are you doing tonight? Want to meet at my place for some King's Knight?"

At that moment his police scanner beeped. Mugging on the east side.

"Aaaah. I wish I could buddy. But I gotta cram this homework in."

"That paper? I thought you were working on that last night?"

"I was! But it sucked so I'm redoing it."

"I'm sure it was fine."

"Nope. It was awful trust me. Hey – I gotta go. I'll see you in class tomorrow alright?"

"Sure. See ya."

Hanging up he dropped his phone back into his pack before leaping off the tall building.

That moment of free falling was exhilarating. He remembered the first time he had slipped up and experienced this by accident. It had been terrifying. He had truly believed that he was going to be splattered like a bug on the sidewalk. But then he remembered who he was. Who he had become.

And at the last possible moment he had shot his hand out and activated the mechanism that allowed him to shoot the sticky yet strong fibers that acted as his webbing.

"Hey look! Its Spider-man!"

Beneath his mask he grinned widely. It was incredible how popular he had become in the Insomnia in the short time he had been doing this 'hero gig'. It was the field trip almost a year ago now with his and Noctis's class to some science research center. It was run by a Doctor Sania and some Glaives that were more about the scientific side to the Crystal's power than the magic side. They had been experimenting with some crazy stuff that included different types of creatures living throughout Eos. Which included spiders.

Prompto hated bugs. All of them. Insects, arachnids, whatever. They were all creepy crawlies. He hated them. But spiders… he had developed a certain respect for them. Granted, he wasn't going to allow one to live in his bathroom or anything. If he saw one in his apartment it was getting thrown out. But he had stopped squealing like a small child and stomping them viciously now.

So – improvement.

"This wouldn't have happened if you had just handed us the damn wallet when we asked!"

There were his muggers.

Dropping lightly to his feet he landed in the back alley and gave himself exactly three seconds to take in his surroundings. Four guys standing over one guy. The four were kicking into the side of the man on the ground. None of them were that big, but they were likely armed with at least a knife.

"Didn't your parents ever teach you how to play nice?" Prompto taunted getting their attention.

The four muggers spun toward the new voice, each of them with an expression of fear.

"I mean it's already bad enough that you guys smell the way you do, but now you can't even share?"

"You need to get outta here Spider-Freak. This was our turf long before you came along."

"Don't you know that you bad guys always end up hanging from a lamp post?"

By now the man they had been kicking had gathered his cards that they had tossed from his wallet and slipped away down the side alley with a nod toward Spider-man for the assistance.

"Shut up!" The muggers charged at him.

Why did they think they could win?

It may have gone more in their favor if they really all had charged at once. But they hesitated and let their lead man go first. Once Prompto had ducked from the initial attack he kicked out a leg knocking the man down and hastily delivered a jab hard enough to the back of his head to keep him down. The other three were even slower than the first, and were easily dealt with.

Within just a few minutes they were hanging from the lamppost outside the police office.

As promised.
