One of them, for example, which will probably haunt me more than any other is the problem of communication. - Georges Simmons

"Somebody help! My kid is still trapped in there!" A white man, with having only a tiny bit of hair let, yelled as a nearby building was on fire with flames bursting through the windows, while firefighters tried to put it out with water. In the distance, had a man wearing a blue spandex suit with red forearms, boots, gloves, utility belt, midsection, scarf and mask, for it had white eye lenses with a black outline, and all around the red had silver web patterns, a black spider symbol on the chest and a red spider symbol on his back with the front legs going up to the scarf, while the bottom ones went toward the belt, swung from building to building on it's webs from his wrists and landed on a firetruck, revealing to be The Magnificent Spider-Man himself.
"Now, now people! Keep your trousers on, I'm on the case!" Spider-Man said as he then zipped into the burning building, seeing everything was on fire as he began to run through until he heard the screaming of a little child, catching his attention. He then barged through the door to see a small boy inside the closet, hiding from the flames until he saw Spider-Man, making him smile a bit.
"Mr. Spider-Man! You're here!" He said as Spider-Man picked him up over his back.
"It's JUST Spider-Man. Mr. Spider-Man was my Grandpa!" Spider-Man said as he began to run toward the window, jumped out, and landed on the ground while he put the boy down, with the father and mother running to him and hugged his son.
"Thank god you're ok!" The mother said quietly while the father still hugged him, until he looked at Spider-Man.
"Thanks for what you did Spider-Man, you're ok in MY book." He said as Spider-Man nodded.
"Just doing what I do best. What happened here anyway? I didn't see much of any leak or anything to cause a fire like that." He said while the father rubbed his head.
"I don't know... it all happened so fast I can't remember." He said as the boy, Charlie, looked at Spider-Man.
"I remember!" He peeped up as Spider-Man looked at him. "I saw some bad guys rob some of daddy's stuff and lit the building with some fire in a bottle and threw it through the windows!"
"That sounds like they used Molotov Cocktails." Spider-Man said as he looked at the father. "Do you know on what these guys were after?"
"Y-yes... Yes! I think so!" The father said as he took out a badge, showing the company he worked for and his name, Max Dillon. "I'm Max Dillon, I work at Oscorp. They were after some of the projects I'm assigned to do, normally weapons since Tony Stark gave up doing it before deciding to be Iron Man."
"Weapons? That doesn't sound too good. Then again, based on MY experiences, nothing goes well with Oscorp." Spider-Man said as he rubbed his forehead. "What kind of weapons are we talking about here?"
"Military kind: Top Weapons you could ever get. I'm just glad we decided to do this after that Civil War thing." Max said as Spider-Man nodded.
"Do you know where they went? Maybe I can get to them before they escape." He asked as Max shook his head.
"No, I don't. Sorry I'm not much help Spidey." He said as he looked down a bit, but Spider-Man began to shake him.
"Yo, listen to me!" He said as Max looked at him while his hair was then being straightened after it was a bit messy from the fire. "You helped me more than you think! For right now, and always, you're my eyes and ears! All of you! Just update me on anything about those guys, got it?" As he said this, Max stared at him in happiness.
"Y-yes! We won't let you down!" He said as Spider-Man nodded and looked at Charlie.
"Take care of them, ok? For Spidey?" He asked as Charlie nodded happily.
"For Spidey!" He said happily as Spider-Man nodded and gave Max a card.
"Hit me up with this number, ok? I REALLY appreciate your help partner!" Spider-Man said as he ran off and swung away, leaving the Dillon family while they watched.
"...Partner?" Max asked as he looked at the card, then at Spider-Man as he smiled a bit. "I won't let you down, 'Partner'."
Neon City - King Apartment - Time: 1:32 PM
Spider-Man kept swinging from building to building until he landed near a window, opened it, and entered into his room while he took off his mask, revealing Ken King's face, for he was now older, at least twenty one years old, and still had the brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses, while began to put on clothes to hide the suit. Once they were on, he walked out of his room to see a few people at the kitchen.
"Hey, I'm home!" Ken yelled as the people looked at him, revealing to be April; his mother of the age of forty two, for she now had her brown hair turning more white along with getting wrinkles under her blue eyes, Micheal; a twenty year old man, had black hair and brown eyes, and finally Ken's wife; Elise King, for she was around Ken's age and has blonde hair and blue eyes while she held a small baby boy that was four to five months old and had a dirty brown hair and blue eyes; Geohn King.
"Nice to see you back!" Micheal said as Elise got up and kissed Ken.
"I missed you, and so did little Geohn." Elise said as Ken smiled a bit.
"I missed you too." He said as he crouched down to look at Geohn, to which made him smile and coo. "Hey there little guy! Daddy missed ya!" Geohn reached toward him until Ken began to hold the baby close to him while the tiny hands began to explore his fathers face a bit.
"Did everything go ok? I heard about the burning building." April asked while Ken nodded.
"Yeah, appearntly some guys robbed somebody from Oscorp concerning weapons; Max Dillon's the name." He said while rubbing his head. "I'm not really sure on what they plan to do with it, but I'll find out soon."
"I hope so, with everything concerning Oscorp with the entire Carnage events, it scares me a bit." Elise said as Ken nodded.
"Don't worry. Whatever those guys are planning, I'll make sure they don't hurt you or any of you guys." He said as the couple looked at Geohn a bit while smiling until April began to cough a bit harshly, catching their attention. "You ok mom?"
"Yes, I'm just fine Kenny... I just... need to rest for a bit." April said as she began to lie on the couch a bit, relaxing.
"Is she ok?" Ken asked as Micheal walked to him.
"Not as much as before. She's really starting to get sick, I can see it. After all that happened for the past five years, it's been really hard on her." Micheal said while staring at her. "With the heart attack she got with Fisk and all of that worry from the stress with Lucas, Venom, Carnage and that war, I don't really blame her at all."
"A part of me wishes I never told her about me being Spider-Man. It caused her so much stress about worrying for me... I-I didn't know it would be this hard on her." Ken said sadly while Elise kissed his cheek a bit.
"Don't think that. She's proud of what you are, and no amount of stress she goes through will change that." She said as Ken smiled a bit.
"Yeah, I guess so." He said while Geohn looked at both of their parents in question, not knowing what they were talking about since he was only a baby.
