Officer Walt Barrett didn't think he'd ever end up in this type of situation.

About an hour ago a group of criminals began to tear up the streets. He was one of the first officers on scene but the vandals weren't a typical bunch of punks, they were superpowered and well equipped crooks, in civilian terms; super-villians.

Going by a new protocol he called for backup and backed away. He wasn't going to interfere until they started threatening the lives of civilians. Instead of engaging he evacuated as many people as possible and kept under cover.

Luckily he didn't have to engage the group (He wouldn't have lived even a minute against them). The local vigilante or hero, Spider-man, showed up right when him and the other officers on scene would have had to start interfering.

It was a long fight against the six 'villains', the roads torn up, vehicles smashed, but in the end every one of them were down and secure enough for him and his fellow officers to begin arresting.

That wasn't the problem.

His problem was on the ground not five feet from him. Either too exhausted or hurt Spider-man was out for the count.

The problem was Spider-man had a standing warrant out for his arrest. Local officers (with there superior's reluctant blessing) didn't bother to try to take him in. It was pretty much impossible for a lowly grunt like them to do so. Most of the force didn't want to take him in anyways. They all new that the hero would have their backs when something really bad happened.

Oh and did he mention the dozen news crews watching their every move?

Looking over his shoulder Walt gives his Captain a pained look.

The other man lets out a deep breath and shakes his head, "It has to be done Barrett. If he doesn't wake up and run we have to arrest him. Search him, disarm him, and put a set of those speciality bindings on him. By the looks of it we'll need to hand him over to the medics anyways." Walt already checked the wallcrawler's pulse... it was strong and steady if nothing else.

Walter couldn't help but grimace at the twisting sensation in his stomach at the thought of cuffing him along side the scum he just took down, it felt so wrong after what the guy had done for the city, "... this just feels so..."

"Wrong, I know. But there is nothing we can do about it now..."

Reluctantly Walter Barrett goes to the trunk of his miraculously untouched police cruiser and draws out a set of the special reinforced binders every patrol officer was issued for these type of arrests.

"...Yeah he's over there. Out cold, probably the knock to the head near the end of the fight." Barrett hears another officer say to a couple of paramedics who just arrived on the scene.

Barrett squats down besides the wallcrawler and pats him down for weapons. He doesn't find any weapons but he does find a cellphone and a pair of odd devices that were attached to his wrists.

Perhaps this is where the webbing came from?

"... Officer, he definitely has a head wound.. " Walter gives a painful grimace as he takes off the vigilante's gloves, webshooter things and locks the binds on the downed costumed man's hands and wrists.

He knew what the medic was asking, "Do what you need to do." he orders with a bad taste in his mouth. He steps back and unable to look away, watches as the Medic carefully peel back the iconic mask, revealing the face underneath.

"Ahhh shit."

On the ground, maskless, knocked out but alive was Spider-man, who was just revealed to the whole of New York to be no older than eighteen at most.


AUTHOR's NOTE: There are so many ways this can go and so many different results so I'm going to make this a challenge! Peter has been arrested and revealed to be spiderman! I challenge anyone and everyone to write what happens next! I prefer it to be an Avenger's cross but it's not necessary.

Also... from chapter two on is mine and not part of the challenge. That is going to be my attempt... even though I'm horrible with following through with fics.
