Now let's get this party started… BEGIN!

Spider-Man: The Remnant Webslinger

Chapter 2: Call me, Spider-Man! Part 2

Armistice Residence

Aaron sat at his desk. A pair of safety goggles over his eyes and tools in his hand as he fiddled with a device that came to him after a few wrestling matches for the RWF.

His new job gave him an excellent paycheck and he's been able to pay off most of the bills his mother struggled with. He even bought himself a few items of interest for an idea that came to mind when he discovered his new-found spider powers.

"One last… got it!" Aaron grinned proudly as he held up a device that should help him traverse the city when needed, especially during rush hour. "My prototype web shooters are complete. With these bad boys, I'll be able to travel throughout the city without any trouble."

The young metahuman places his middle and ring finger on the pressure pad, taking aim at an empty soda can then he applied pressure.

Thwip

Shooting out of the nozzle was a thin, white line of webbing that struck the can. With a pull of his wrist, Aaron quickly caught the can.

"Success!" Aaron cheered as he crushed the can.

A knock on his door drew his attention. "Aaron?"

"Crap," The boy cursed, quickly putting away his costume, his suit drawings, his tools, and his remaining web fluid ideas. He shuffled them all under his bed then noticed his mask sitting on his television. With a quick thwip, he slung the mask to him and placed it under his pillow just as the door opened to reveal his mother.

"Aaron, I tried to tell you that dinner is ready." She said with a smile.

"Okay, mom," Aaron nodded. "I'll be downstairs in a little bit."

"Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but I invited Taiyang and his family over."

The boy groaned. 'Great…'

"Don't take too long. We're having meatloaf tonight." The woman closed the door. Her footsteps retreating downstairs as the teen removed his web shooters and placed them in his toolbox.

"That was way too close. Can't have mom finding out about my job. I don't know how she would handle it." Aaron said to himself.

He had been keeping his job a secret because he feared his mother would fret over his safety. He loved her, but he had to do this. Otherwise, they'd be out on the streets. And Aaron couldn't bear to see his mother struggling with financing any longer.

Aaron shook his head. There wasn't any problem with that anymore. He had a paying job and he now has a way of keeping himself and his mother happy for as long as possible.

"Maybe that spider bite… was the best thing that could ever happen to me?" He said to himself, standing up from his chair and heading downstairs into the dining room. Prevalent chatter drew his attention as he spotted his mother talking to Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose, Ruby and Yang's parents, who he called his "Aunt Summer" and "Uncle Tai". Speaking of the girls, Ruby and Yang were also there seemingly waiting for Aaron as plates were set out on the table and a line of food was present, along with the meatloaf his mother informed him about.

"Look who finally decided to come down." Taiyang grinned. "How ya doin', kiddo?"

"I'm doing alright, Uncle Tai," Aaron replied.

He noticed Yang and Ruby looking at him with concern. "Hey," Aaron greeted with a wave.

"Hey, Aaron," Ruby replied meekly.

Yang didn't say anything. Guess she was still apprehensive because of what he did at school.

Aaron sat down at his seat, "Have you been waiting long?"

"Long enough with a few hungry stomachs." Summer Rose answered with a grin.

His mother, Silvia Armistice, smiled at her son. "Tai and Summer have been telling me that they've been thinking of taking the girls to see that new Spider-Man fellow down at the stadium. I hear he's quite the entertainer."

Aaron felt his stomach drop at the mention of his wrestling alter-ego. "Uh, who?"

Yang, who had been quiet since he arrived, spoke in an excited tone. "Spider-Man! This new wrestler that took down Bonesaw Mcgraw in under a minute!"

"Oh, that guy! Yeah, uh, I'm not…" Aaron stuttered, trying to come up with an excuse to get out of going and possibly exposing his job. "I've got a lot of homework to do so I can't really go."

"Oh," Ruby's mood flattened along with Yang.

Taiyang looked at the boy with a look of understanding. "While it's important to do your homework and everything. It's also important to spend time with your friends and family, don't you agree?"

"Yes, Uncle Tai." The dark-haired teen nodded.

"How about we cut the chit-chat and dive right in? This food won't eat itself." Silvia interjected with a smile as the two families began to load their plates with food and ate their dinner.

While he ate his meatloaf in silence, Aaron's mind raced as he tried to think of many scenarios that could lead to problems for him. If his friends and family found out about his powers then they'd probably label him as a freak. Or worse, they'd probably call the military and have them experiment on him.

He heard a slight clinking from his plate and he realized that he had cleaned off his plate rather quickly. "I'm, uh, just gonna head up to my room. I've gotta get to bed early for tomorrow."

"Are you sure, sweetie? I prepared dessert." His mother asked.

"No thanks, mom. I'll try some next evening." Aaron answered, taking his plate and quickly placing it in the dishwasher. Afterward, he waved at Ruby and Yang goodbye then marched upstairs.

The girls watched their friend leave for his room and instantly grew worried. However, their expressions attracted the attention of Silvia. "Girls, is something wrong?"

"Ms. Silvia, have you noticed anything weird about Aaron?" Ruby asked.

"Weird? What do you mean?" Silvia inquired.

Yang played with her hair a bit nervously, "Well, uh…"

Silvia glanced at Taiyang and Summer, who shrugged in response. The woman gave Ruby and Yang a scolding glare. "Girls, you better explain to me what's going on with Aaron or so help me, you'll be eating my famous Punishment Pie."

The girls shivered. Silvia's punishment pie was something they wished to never try again. In fact, it could serve as both a final meal and an execution tool.

Yang and Ruby looked at each other then back at the seemingly upset mother. "Well, it happened like this…

Meanwhile, Aaron was counting the money he received from his last scuffle with a wrestler at his job. He'd been saving up for a new camera since his old one seemed to be acting up. He managed to pay off the bills for the month to help alleviate the pressure on his mom, but there wasn't any telling how many more bills they could be expected.

Regardless, he wasn't going to stop. Not until he's made life better for the both of them.

Aaron looked at a poster that detailed his other persona's next match. A match between Spider-Man and a large, muscular guy called Crusher Hogan. At first, the boy was a little tense at the upcoming match with this guy. Over 300 pounds of pure muscle and he was going off against this guy.

He looked down at his web shooters and the experimental web tablets that contained the prototype formula he had been experimenting with ever since he got his powers. Maybe he should use them for his next wrestling match. It would make for an excellent test.

A knock on his bedroom door drew his attention. "Who is it?"

"Aaron, it's your mother," Silvia spoke from behind the wooden door.

"Come in." He replied.

When the door opened, he expected to see his mom with a smile on her face as usual. However, he was not expecting the scolding frown on her face.

"Um, is something wrong, mom?" Aaron asked nervously, feeling his heart stop whenever he noticed that look on her face. It meant that he was in trouble.

"Aaron Armistice, you've got a lot of nerve skipping school and picking fights with other children!" Silvia scolded her son.

"What!? Who told-" Aaron stopped when he realized that there were two blabbermouths in his home. "Ruby and Yang…" He frowned.

"Don't you get mad at them. They're not the ones at fault. They were only looking out for you." Silvia pointed out. "Why were you skipping school? Why did you pick a fight with other boys?"

"Why? You wanna know why?" The metahuman growled. "It's because the asshats that have been bullying me were picking on a Faunus! I could deal with being bullied myself, but I'm not gonna stand by and watch them bully an innocent girl!"

Silvia's scowl softened. "So you were only defending a girl. Aaron, while I'm proud of you for standing up to those bullies and protecting that girl, you still did it with violence." She rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Listen, Aaron, I understand that high school can be challenging and you're going through some changes. Every teenager has gone through them, including me when I was younger."

"No, not like me," Aaron replied bitterly.

"Let me finish." Silvia scolded, silencing the boy. "Aaron, your father had a saying that his own father told him when he was just a boy. With great power, there must come great responsibility. It means that if one has great power then it is their responsibility on what they utilize it for."

"Then why couldn't he tell me this himself?" Aaron coldly inquired. "Why couldn't he be here when we needed him! When I needed him!?" He raised his voice, visibly angry.

"Aaron…"

"What's the whole point of bringing up dad when he's not even alive to tell me himself!" He yelled.

Silvia gasped in surprise as she looked at her son, who trembled with anger and sorrow. She reached out to comfort her precious boy, but Aaron retreated, grabbing his backpack and running past her. "Aaron! Wait, please!"

The metahuman didn't listen. He ignored everything around him and ran out the door, his mother calling out for him desperately to stop.

Summer, who had heard the front door slam open, reached Silvia first. "What's going on?"

"Aaron, he ran away." The silver-haired woman sobbed. "It's all my fault…"

Taiyang and his daughters approached the crying mother. "Aaron ran away?" He repeated.

"Shh, Silvia, it's alright. We'll go out and find him." Summer reassured her friend, rubbing her back.

"You got that right. And when we do, that boy is gonna get a major scolding." Taiyang agreed with his wife as he looked at his daughters. "Yang, Ruby, stay here and keep Aunt Silvia company while your mother and I go and look for Aaron. Can you do that for me?"

Yang frowned. She wanted to go out and find her childhood friend as well, but she knew that her Aunt Silvia was in a delicate position right now. Reluctantly, she nodded in agreement with her father. "Sure, dad. Ruby and I will take care of her."

The blonde-haired man smiled at his eldest. "That's my little sun dragon." He looked to his wife. "Let's go, Summer."

"Right behind you, Tai." Summer winked at her husband, who blushed at his wife's teasing.

The two ran outside, hoping to find the boy they considered a son.

Vale [Downtown Area]

After he ran away from home, Aaron decided to go back to his night job and earn some extra cash with his match against Crusher Hogan (and blow off some steam). Lucky for him, he managed to get his costume and his web shooters.

Hiding in an alleyway, the young web-slinger striped down to his boxers and put his costume on while stuffing his clothes in his backpack.

He crawled up a high enough building and made sure to check his web shooters to see if they would be able to work through the slits cut in his gloves.

Aaron inhaled deeply then exhaled. "Okay, no pain no gain." He took aim at another building and pressed down on the pressure pad.

Thwip!

A line of webbing jets out from the nozzle and attaches to the surface of the building ahead until it hardened enough for the metahuman to grasp it.

Spider-Man glanced down at the edge of the rooftop he stood on and gulped. He was roughly fifty feet off the ground and if this didn't work… he'd be street pizza.

Steeling his nerves, the webhead leaps off the edge and allowed the inertia of the web line to move his body. When he realized he was high enough, Spider-Man shifted his body to push off from the web as he somersaults backward and fires another line to swing.

Then another.

And another.

Another...

Another…!

'This is so awesome!' Aaron screamed in his head with joy as he web-swings through the city towards the stadium.

Before he got his spider powers, he had always been afraid of heights. He couldn't stand them. But now? Now, he was swinging along the skyline without a care in the world. It was like web-swinging was a better pass time than either video games or reading books.

Spotting the affirmed stadium, he could see a large poster detailing himself going up against Crusher Hogan, a human man roughly seven feet tall with muscles rippling across his entire body. His wrestling outfit seemed to be a pair of green and blue underwear, yellow boots, blue armbands, and a luchador mask colored green, blue, and yellow.

"And my latest punching bag for the evening," Aaron smirked behind his mask.

He swings down to the back entrance that his fellow wrestlers would usually walk in to reach the locker rooms. However, just as Spidey was about to open the door, he caught sight of a guy in dirty clothing, who was hanging out by the entrance with a cigarette. He had a hood up to cover his face, except for his mouth and wore gloves. Spider-Man couldn't tell if the guy was a human or a Faunus at all.

'Hm, must be bum.' He said in his head. Aaron shrugged. 'Not my problem.' The metahuman enters through the back entrance to meet the manager, enter the ring, and get paid.

Unfortunately, Aaron neglected to fully close the door as the shifty looking man quickly, but quietly entered the stadium as well.

Later…

Aaron could only sum up his match with Crusher Hogan as… disappointing.

It's not like the guy didn't put up an impressive fight because he sure as hell lasted longer than Bonesaw did when the metahuman first started his wrestling career. Unfortunately, that was all the respect he got from the web-themed teen.

When the match started, Hogan tried to grapple Spider-Man in a bear hug, but the arachnid had used his spider strength to break out of it and push off of the large man to land gracefully on a ring post. Naturally, the big brute charged at Aaron like a mad bull only to start kissing the guards on the post when Spidey leapfrogged over him. While he was still shaking the stars out of his vision, Hogan had been grabbed from behind by Spider-Man then in a show of strength that wowed the audience, the web-slinger performed an atlas suplex (AN: A Remnant version of the German Suplex) and slammed Crusher Hogan onto the ring. Seeing as how he wouldn't be able to get up anytime soon after that blow the referee called the match and declared Spider-Man the winner.

Aaron smiled to himself as the crowd cheered his name. Spider-Man's name. Even though it wasn't his secret identity, he still felt proud of his accomplishments.

Despite being semi-conscious, Crusher still managed enough strength to give the webhead a thumbs-up gesture. So in a show of sportsmanship, Spider-Man helped the large wrestler to the locker room so that he could get checked out by the medics.

Right now, Aaron sat on a bench with a water bottle in his hand with his mask halfway up to reveal his mouth and nose. Regardless of the match being short, he was tired and sweaty. As much as he wanted to remove his costume and take a hot shower, he could do that at home.

Thinking back to his house brought a sense of guilt to the young man. Aaron knew that he shouldn't have yelled at his mother, mostly because she was only trying to help him, but after gaining these powers he finally had a chance to get back at the world for spitting on him and his family.

"Honestly, I should head home after I'm done getting paid… I'll apologize to mom and hope she doesn't get too mad." The metahuman rethought that after taking a swig of his water. "Or madder than she was when she came into my room…"

As he finished off his drink, Spider-Man quickly pulled his mask down and threw his empty bottle into a garbage can as he marched into the manager's office with a confident stride.

"Ah! There's my little moneymaker!" The manager, John Doe, greeted the web-slinger with a grin as he counted a good amount of lien that laid on the table.

"Hey, boss," Spider-Man greeted John. "I came to get my money and head out for the night."

"Oh! Well, speaking of money, I've just got a business deal from Atlas Entertainment. They've been asking if you could make a few commercials for them." John said. "And they are willing to pay a lot of money."

"Seriously!?" Spider-Man blanched in surprise.

"Yep, but the condition is that I'll have to sign you over to them and you'll have to reveal your face to them." The manager offered.

"What?! No way! I signed up to remain anonymous and that includes the secret identity." Aaron retorted.

John shook his head. "Hey, it's what I was offered. You either take it or leave it."

Spider-Man angrily refused. "Not a chance in hell! If people found out who I was then my mother would-"

"Wait, did you say your mother?" John gave the metahuman a small glare. "Are you still in school, kid?"

"Well, yeah, but-" Before Aaron could finish, the manager slammed his hand down on his desk.

"Get out! I can't have a minor anywhere here! Out now! And don't expect to get paid for lying!" John yelled.

"What!? That's not fair!" Spider-Man retorted.

"Not my problem! Beat it!" John shouted.

The metahuman growled in frustration and left the manager's office… unaware of the same hooded figure who entered after the teen left.

"Hey, who the hell-" John said incredulously before he froze when a handgun was aimed at his head.

"Give me all your money. Right now and put it in the bag." The robber demanded.

Meanwhile, just as Spider-Man was about to leave through the elevator, he heard a commotion behind him. He saw a hooded man run out of John's office.

"Hey, kid! Stop that guy!" John shouted to the metahuman. "Stop him! He's got my money!"

Aaron narrowed his eyes in bitterness at his former boss… and stepped aside to let the thief escape into the elevator. Spider-Man had just enough time to notice that the face of the man was a dog Faunus, who nodded gratefully to him as the elevator doors closed.

John stopped himself and slammed a hand on the metal surface before leveling a glare at the metahuman. "What the hell is the matter with you, kid!?"

Spider-Man returned the glare tenfold. "Not my problem." He mockingly shot back.

His former manager leveled one last glare at Spidey then left for his office to call the police.

With nothing tying him down to this place, Aaron called up the elevator… to make a long trek back home.

Suburb District - Five Hours Later

The walk home was uneventful but nerve-wracking...

Aaron had swapped his costume for his regular clothes while hiding in an alley to avoid being seen.

He tried using a transit system, but he didn't have any lien on him so he had to walk the rest of the way amongst the crowds.

'Well, this sucks… No job, no cash…' Aaron thought as he maneuvered his way through his neighborhood. 'How am I supposed to support mom and I now?'

He was so focused on his thoughts that after he passed the corner that led in the direction of his house he noticed police cars… at his home.

A crowd of people had already begun to form as officers, both human and Faunus, tried to keep the civilians back.

Fear gripped his heart as Aaron sprinted frantically over to his home to check on his mother to see if she was alright.

'Please, dear God, don't let anything happen to her… Please!' He screamed in his head.

When he came across Ruby and Yang, he found the blonde girl holding her baby sister against her as they sobbed softly with each other.

"Ruby, Yang," Aaron spoke up, getting their attention.

"Aaron…" Yang sniffed, rubbing her eyes with a free hand.

Before the boy could comment on what was wrong, Ruby had immediately tackled him into a hug as she cried loudly into his shirt.

Aaron patted Ruby's head to comfort her. "What's wrong? What happened?" He asked despite his panic.

"It's your mom…" Yang said trying to hold back more tears. "Our parents are talking to the police after what happened…"

Aaron's eyes widened in horror as he quickly passed Ruby back to her sister and quickly ran over the police tape. A few of the officers tried to stop him, but he shoved them aside with his spider strength.

"Mom!" He shouted as he entered the house… and was met with a horrifying sight.

His mother's body… covered by a white sheet with blood pooling around her.

"Aaron! Aaron don't look!" He briefly heard his Uncle Tai exclaimed.

Nothing seemed to trigger a reaction from the boy even as Summer came over and shielded his sight with her body.

All Aaron could see… was the corpse of the woman he had yelled at and ran away from…

...The mother he would never see again.

Beacon High School [The Next Day]

The atmosphere of the school was dark and despondent. Granted it was understandable since a student had just gone through a traumatic event that no child should ever go through… the death of a parent.

Aaron sat on a bench, ignoring all the looks of pity and the eyes of his schoolmates. He had a hoodie on to shield his face from everyone that looked at him. He didn't want their pity… or their encouragement…

He wanted his mother. The mother that was taken from him… because of her killer.

The police told him that it was a robbery gone bad. That the robber who shot his mother was male… and wore a White Fang mask.

Aaron tightened his fists to the point his knuckles popped. If he ever found the monster who took the one woman that meant the world to him… he would break him in two.

"Hey, Armistice…" A familiar bully's voice spoke up.

"Go away, Cardin." The metahuman growled. "I'm not in the mood today."

"Look, man, I just wanna talk-" Cardin placed a hand on his shoulder, but Aaron reacted on instinct, grabbing the brunette by the collar of his shirt and slamming him against the wall as crimson eyes glared heatedly in Cardin's brown ones.

"Why can't you just leave me alone!?" Aaron yelled.

Cardin, despite the pressure around his neck, gave Aaron a look of sympathy. "Look… your mom died… I get it… and I'm sorry that happened to you…" He choked.

Aaron trembled as he released his hold on his tormentor and was about to leave before he bumped into Blake, who had Jaune, Pyrrha, Weiss, Ren, Nora, Ruby, and Yang with her.

"Aaron, you don't have to go through this alone." The Faunus offered, placing a hand on the black-haired boy's shoulder.

"That's just it, Blake…" The metahuman looked at his friends with his eyes dead to the world. "I am alone."

He left his friends behind, who all watched him with equal expressions of concern.

"Man, that's gotta suck…" Jaune said with a sad frown. "Losing his mom like that…"

"It will take some time for him to recover from such trauma." Ren pointed out.

Pyrrha glanced at Yang and Ruby. "When is the funeral?" She asked.

"The funeral is the day after tomorrow…" Yang answered solemnly. "Our parents are thinking of adopting Aaron into our family."

Nora sniffled. "It's not fair… he shouldn't have to go through something that terrible."

"It was all because of the White Fang…" Weiss growled. This brought attention to her from the others around her. "My older sister is an old friend of the police chief here… she told me that it was a member of the White Fang that killed Armistice's mother."

Blake immediately interjected, "You don't know that! It could've been anybody that-"

"Weiss is right…" Ruby added. "Aunt Silvia stood in front of us to protect us… and I saw him wearing a mask from the White Fang…"

"But that-" Blake tried to argue but found herself unable to finish her sentence.

"I would not put it past Aaron… if he started hating anything related to the White Fang." Ren pointed out. "He might even begin to hate faunus in general."

Blake's cat ears fell. She didn't want that. Aaron couldn't hate others just because of the actions of one misguided individual…

"For now, Aaron's gonna need our support." Yang pointed out. "So… let's give him some space for now then we'll talk to him."

The teens nodded in unison. Separately agreeing that their friend's condition came first.

After school had ended, Aaron decided to sit on the rooftop of the academy. In his hands, he held a piece of paper that had the image of the robber that killed his mother. There wasn't much to go on except the fact that he wore a hood, a White Fang mask, and carried a gun.

"I swear I'll find you… then I'll make you pay," The metahuman growled as he crumpled the paper with one hand then stuffed it in his bag. "And since Aaron Armistice can't go out looking for you…" He peered inside his bag to stare into the white lens eyes of his mask. "Then maybe Spider-Man can."

Later…

In a hidden White Fang base, a few of the members were playing cards to pass the time.

"Got any threes?" A rat faunus asked.

"Go fish." A bear faunus replied.

"Hey, where'd Cory go?" A snake faunus asked while messing with a knife.

"I heard he was robbing that stadium with the wrestling matches going on. He got away thanks to some costumed freak." The bear faunus answered. "Though he had to run from the cops and lost some lien. Heard he robbed some human family's house and wasted a woman."

"Damn, seriously, Barry?" The rat faunus gave the bear a look of surprise.

"Yeah, he sounded real shook up over the phone." Barry the bear faunus replied.

"Heh, if the bitch was hot, I'd do something different than shoot her," The snake remarked with a perverted grin.

"You're sick in the head, Larry." The rat scowled.

Larry the snake faunus gave his fellow rogue the 'bird'. "Screw you, Harry."

"Both of you shut up!" Barry yelled, silencing Harry and Larry. "God, you two whine like little kids."

"Sorry, Barry," The two faunus apologized.

"Well," The bear faunus sighed. "Cory's gonna lay low over at the warehouse district until the heat dies down. So we've gotta bring the guy food and water to make sure he's still kicking."

"You don't really sound all that happy about it," Larry snarked.

"That's because Cory just wasted a woman who was also a mother. Now her kid is an orphan. How am I supposed to feel?" Barry spat.

The snake faunus rolled his eyes. "The kid's a human. Watch. I bet he'll grow up to discriminate faunus too and he'll probably waste one of our brothers and sisters."

Before Barry could argue with Larry some more, the door to their hideout was kicked open. The broken frame hitting Harry directly in the face and knocking him to the ground, unconscious.

"What the hell!?" Larry exclaimed before his voice is muffled when a glob of white, sticky goo that stuck to his mouth then slammed him directly into the wall, knocking him out.

Barry looked at the destroyed entrance with wide eyes. Standing there in his red and blue outfit was the masked wrestler (or former wrestler) Spider-Man.

And he looked pissed.

"Where is he," He demanded with a growl.

Barry gulped. His eyes trailed down to the fallen handgun and he quickly pounced for it to ward off his friends' assailant. Unfortunately, Spider-Man was already a step ahead as he shot a glob of webbing onto the gun, trapping it and preventing the White Fang grunt from being a threat.

"Shit…" The bear faunus glanced back at the approaching masked man and tried to think of a plan to escape. "Look, man. I don't know who you're looking for but it ain't us."

"I'm looking for a White Fang member that was in the suburbs last night. He had a hood and wore your masks." Spider-Man narrowed his eyes. "He murdered an innocent woman in cold blood."

Barry's eyes widened in shock. "Cory…"

The metahuman hears this and grabs the faunus by the scruff of his collar, lifting him up in the air with his spider strength. "Tell me where he is! NOW!" He yelled in Barry's face.

"F-forget it! I'm not ratting out a brother!" The faunus retorted with a growl.

Spider-Man grabbed Barry's left arm with one hand. "If you don't tell me where he is…" He makes his point by applying pressure to the grunt's wrist to the point the bones began to pop as Barry cried out in pain. "I'll break every bone in your body until you give me a location."

"Okay, okay!" The bear faunus finally cowed. "Abandoned warehouse district. One of them used to belong to the Schnee company!"

"Thanks," The webhead spat then threw the White Fang member into a television set, sending sparks and pieces of the electronic flying.

Barry laid there, bruised, but alive and unconscious.

Spider-Man webbed up the criminals and left an anonymous tip to the cops while he swung to the abandoned warehouse district to find his mother's killer… and have his revenge.

Abandoned Warehouse District

Spider-Man swung from building to building until he finally landed on the edge of a rooftop overlooking the warehouse district. His white lens eyes narrowed as he spotted the faded symbol of the SDC and noticed a small light shining in the windows.

The arachnid leaps into the air and web-zips onto the roof of the warehouse, quietly landing on the tips of his toes as he crawled through an opening in the skyline.

When he crawled inside, Spider-Man kept a close eye on the light, which came from a small lamplight that couldn't have been on for more than a few hours. Though the mountains of pizza boxes and leftover Mistral takeout boxes was at least a sign that the murderer was still here.

And low-and-behold, coming out of a used bathroom was a man in a hooded jacket wearing a White Fang mask. Strangely enough, the guy looked kinda familiar…

'No time to think about that. This bastard is gonna pay for what he did.' Aaron thought to himself as he quietly crawled along the wall. At least, it was quiet until his foot knocked off a piece of debris which sent it careening to the asphalt, spooking the criminal.

"Who's there!?" He demanded, picking up a handgun and firing wildly at the ceiling. A few of those shots forced Spider-Man to nimbly dodge with his agility thanks to his Spider-Sense. The webhead swung on a support beam and revealed himself in the light. "What the-?!"

Spidey shot a web line that stuck to the barrel of the pistol and with a swing of his arm, sent it flying out of the window. "Last night, do you remember the face of the woman you killed?"

The White Fang member gulped. "W-what's it to you, freak?!" He exclaimed.

The metahuman growled. "Everything!" He shouted, lunging at the frightened man and kicking him directly in the chest by using only a margin of his super strength. The blow sent the murderer crashing into a crate but Spider-Man wasn't about to let his mother's killer get off easily.

The spider-themed avenger grabbed the pathetic man by the collar of his jacket and slammed him against the wall. Even with the White Fang mask on, the faunus was undoubtedly terrified. "Please, I'm sorry! I've got kids!" He pleaded.

"And so did that woman you killed! She had a son and now you've taken his mother away from him, you monster!" Spider-Man yelled. "And I'm gonna return the favor by beating you within an inch of your life!"

"No, please don't!"

"But first, I wanna look into the eyes of the man who killed an innocent woman," Without even a second thought, Spider-Man grabbed the mask covering the faunus's face and threw it away… only to recoil in shock when he looked at the face of his mother's killer.

...The face of the same dog faunus he let escape back at the stadium.

If he had just stopped the thief from before then his mother…

"It can't be you…" Spider-Man mumbled to himself, holding a hand over the left side of his masked face. "I should've stopped you at the stadium… I could've saved mom…"

The dog faunus, seeing as how the freak was distracted, made a run for it. Unfortunately, he didn't get far when Spider-Man recovered just long enough to web the thief's feet. With a punch to the back of the head, the faunus was rendered unconscious and the metahuman carried him outside then hung him on a streetlight like a dangling piece of fish bait.

Spider-Man took out his cellphone and sent a quick tip to the cops about the murderer's location then quickly left the scene by way of web-swinging.

'Now I understand what mom meant…' Aaron thought as he swung through the city. He heard a cry for help down in an alleyway and noticed a young couple being mugged by a group of thugs. 'With my power, it was my responsibility to use them properly.' He dived down at the muggers and skillfully defeated each one without even using his Spider-Sense.

Without even receiving a thank you from the couple, the arachnid metahuman shot another webline and swung away to find new crimes in progress.

'If I had stopped that mugger, my mother wouldn't have paid the price for my selfishness.' Aaron continued to monologue in his head.

Spider-Man came across a building on fire and swung inside, searching for anybody that still remained. He eventually found two faunus kids and carried them out of them building by leaping out of the window to land on the street below, allowing the kids to run to their parents.

'It's like she said about my father's quote,' Aaron thought. 'With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.'

The webhead sees a kitten stuck up a tree and helps get it down, handing the small animal off to the little girl who was crying for people to help her pet. Spider-Man gave the awestruck girl a two-finger salute and quickly shot a web to take off swinging into the city.

'That's why I'll never turn down a helping hand again. I'll protect the people of this city… as the Spectacular Spider-Man!'

A/N: That's it for this chapter. Sorry, it took me a month. I was busy with college classes and other projects. Oh, and the Venom movie. I've gotta say, it is awesome! People say it was gonna be terrible but they can stuff it down their throats because it was amazing!

Sorry, I'm ranting. Uh, allow me to ask all of you this. I'm wondering which supervillain Spider-Man should face in the next chapter. I'll be setting up a poll for y'all to choose. As for the identity of the villain, I'll leave that to your imagination.

Review and comment on the chapter. Love it, hate it, but just know that you've read it.

Peace out, everyone!
