Page 3 of my Spider-Man story, I hope you've enjoyed this so far. The watch device later on in this is based the commlink from the cartoon Ultimate Spider-Man.

It was a busy day in New York city as there was traffic everywhere and emergencies going on but there was one thing missing from those emergencies, actually it was someone and that someone was Spider-Man. It had been a day since he stopped and everyone wanted to know where had he gone? When was he coming back? Even the police was wondering when would the webhead be returning but only Captain Watanabe knew the truth: Spider-Man wasn't coming back.

MJ's apartment:

Mary-Jane was sat on couch looking through old photos of her and Peter, he hadn't called her which made things awkward as her feelings for him had come back but she had Felicia Hardy living with her and it turned out she also had feelings for him. Things were weird now between them as they had started arguing over Peter but the downside for Felicia was that she had nowhere to go as her only living place was blown up then repaired and sold to a rich couple.

"I wish I could tell him about Felicia but if I do, he would want her and I would lose her." Mary-Jane thought, she had found out Peter was working as a freelance photographer for the Bugle which surprised MJ as she was a reporter but whenever she was working, she never saw Pete and when he was there, he never spoke to her or even waved. It was as if he was holding something against her but she didn't know what.

"What you thinking about?" A voice asked, MJ looked behind and there saw Felicia wearing skinny tight jeans and a white crop top, she was drying her as she hadn't long ago had a shower. "Is he on your mind?" She asked and Felicia knew who the redhead was thinking about.

"Yeah, I was also thinking about us," Mary-Jane added, that surprised Felicia. "Not in that way, I talking about us and Pete. He told me about your 'close times' when me and him weren't together." Felicia glowed a bright shade of red, he loved those times but all fun must come to end, that's what she thought.

"What are you suggesting?" Felicia asked, she tossed the towel over to the washing machine then sat down with the redhead and started talking.

Pete's apartment:

Pete was sat at his desk, he was on his computer trying to create a programme so the police could ID someone with even a partial fingerprint as he wasn't Spider-Man anymore or that's what he thought until his comms started beeping from his mask, he realized that he deactivated his AI, Karen.

"Peter, you have a call from Captain Watanabe." Peter thought he could move on and forget being Spider-Man but it seemed that he was wanted so he picked up and put on the Stark suit mask.

"Karen, put the call through." Peter requested and Karen did as instructed. Just in case it was an emergency, Peter got Karen to track the call and he put on a new suit that he discovered a day before he quit at Oscorp: an all black suit with a white spider on the front and back.

"Spider-Man, I know you wanted to hang up your webs but we need to talk." Straight away, Pete knew this was important so he jumped out the window and started climbing the apartment block. "I got something you may be interested to know." That made the spider curious, he wanted to know what would be interested to him so he started swinging towards the police precinct as fast as he could.

Police precinct:

Yuri was standing on the roof waiting for Spider-Man to show, she was holding a file in her hand and just as she was about to open it, she heard the sound of footsteps coming towards her. She turned around and pointed the gun in the direction only to see that the footsteps were from Spider-Man who was dressed in a black suit.

"New threads?" Yuri asked, Spidey nodded as he walked towards the railings and looked at the city. "I bet you missed swinging around the city." Yuri was trying to encourage the former hero to change his mind.

"To be honest, I have missed swinging about," Spidey then remembered why he was here. "You said you had something I would be interested in." Yuri nodded.

"Two things, actually: one of them was that Mayor wants to class you as a hero and help us with crime," That surprised the hero as he sat down on the helicopter pad, Yuri sat down next to him then landed him the file. "This is second thing: it's the file containing everything about the bombing at Felicia Hardy's penthouse. Read it." With that, Spidey opened the file and began reading it.

"This says that there was no sign of a body, does that mean…?" Spidey asked and Yuri nodded.

"That means that there was no one there when it exploded, not even the Cat." Yuri explained which made the Spider confused and relieved. "It means she could've survived but she got also got partly injured. Spidey felt happy that Felicia could've survived then surprised Yuri by giving her a hug.

"Thanks Yuri, you've been a great friend." Spidey said and that made Yuri smile. "And tell the Mayor that I'll work with the police as long as you are my partner." That surprised Yuri as she would've never expected Spider-Man to ask her to be her partner. "You help me and I help you then so why not?" Yuri agreed, then watched Spider-Man swing away. Yuri was happy that the city's Ultimate Spider-Man was back in action.

City streets:

Half a hour later, Spider-Man was dressing in the red and blue Stark suit and was helping everyone: helped the firefighters with a burning house and saved everyone, saved two hostages from a gang of street thugs, he was helping everyone he could. He felt like protecting the city wasn't just the police, firefighters and doctors' jobs but, it was also his. Peter was happy to be back, he was back to being happy and cracking jokes then his new device started beeping; it was a watch that could produce a map of the city and that it could contact Yuri to inform of anything.

Spidey was making his way back when his commlink started flashing, he swung as he could and landed on top of one of Oscorp's research centers. He pressed a button on the side and it showed that Yuri was calling him, he answered the call then it showed a video chat with the captain.

"Yuri, what's up?" Spidey asked as he sat down on the roof edge, he then looked at the screen to see Yuri holding up a newspaper then she read it to the webhead:

"Spider-Man Returns and becomes part of the police unit.

Today, Spider-Man will be receiving the key to the city for his outstanding heroism by the Mayor alongside Captain Yuri Watanabe for their hard work. As many people of New York didn't like Spider-Man and his ways of viligantism, others agreed that he has protected us for all sorts of crimes from a corner shop robbery to a super villain attack, including recent events involving Doctor Octopus and his Sinister Six. We owe both the men and women of the law and Spider-Man our gratitude."

"So we're getting rewards from the Mayor?" Asked the webhead, Yuri nodded and smiled. "Will I be told to remove my mask?" Yuri shook her head, Spidey then breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I personally contacted the Mayor and told him that you wear a mask to protect your loved ones." Yuri told him and that made Spidey smile under his mask. "Oh, the ceremony starts in half an hour so don't be late." Yuri advised and Spider-Man nodded

"Thanks Yuri, I'll go and get a clean suit on and I'll be there." Spider-Man told Yuri and that got her attention.

"Why don't you wear that Spider armor of yours? The one that looks like that suit." Yuri requested, Spider-Man nodded then waved bye to Yuri and she did the same and with that, Yuri ended the call and Spider-Man swung back to his place to get changed into the Iron Spider suit.

Pete's apartment:

Pete climbed in through the window and went to his wardrobe to get the Iron Spider but didn't notice that Mary-Jane was sat on his bed in her usual clothing. When Peter turned around, he got a jump scare which made the suit attach to him and activated a protective shield.

"MJ, you scared me to death!" Pete shouted, Mary-Jane stood and looked at him. "Can we talk later? I need to be at city hall." MJ got closer then smacked his face hard.

"You haven't spoken to me since Cat was blown up," Mary-Jane shouted, Pete's face was then covered up by the Iron Spider's helmet which made her feel like he didn't want to speak to her. "What's going on with us, Pete?" Peter looked down then looked back at Mary-Jane who looked like she was about to cry.

"You first," Peter said which confused MJ. "Felicia's alive, isn't she?" He asked, but Mary-Jane respond. "I know because I stopped to answer a call from Miles and saw her."

Few nights ago:

Peter was swinging on home when he got a Miles, he thought it would be best to answer it stationary so that he could hear Miles. But what he forgot was that he had stopped a few apartments away from MJ's block.

"Hey Pete, how's things? MJ told me about…" Miles started but Peter stopped him.

"I'm okay, Miles. I just need time, me and Cat were close." Pete started then noticed something in Mary-Jane's apartment. Miles could hear Pete jumped so he thought something was wrong.

"Pete, everything alright?" What Miles didn't know was that Peter was a few feet away from MJ's flat and could Felicia and she wasn't dead but very much alive. It also seemed that Mary-Jane knew as she was tending to Black Cat's wounds.

Present:

Mary-Jane looked at Peter with tears in her eyes; he knew but never said a thing which shocked her. Now she knew why he was distanted from her but there was one question that she wanted to know.

"You knew she was alive but you came over my place the next day, why?" Mary-Jane wanted the answer she got it.

"To see if she was there or not," Peter answered, Mary-Jane felt like the worst person in the world. "I don't know what to do." Pete looked at the time then looked at Mary-Jane. "I got to go." And without Mary-Jane saying anything, Peter jumped out the window and made his way to city hall while Mary-Jane slowly made her out of his apartment.

Page 3 done, hoped you liked it. Did you like the way how Yuri and Spidey were talking in this? I've heard people shipping them so I thought "Maybe give it a go." So I thought about renaming this story "Love Pyramid" as like a triangular based pyramid.
