"…anyway class" a man in a white lab coat and missing an arm began "lizards are very interesting, are they not? Kinda wish I had the ability to regrow limbs. But that's just a pipedream."

Then a hand rose in the crowd of the class, it was Peter Parker! "Excuse me Doctor Connors, but what of neogenic science and DNA splicing, would it be possible through that?"

Doctor Connors smiled and said "Well I don't know, . Maybe one day we shall find out. By the way, I wish to see you and after class if I could. Class dismissed.

Everyone left the class except both Gwen and Pete. "So...why did you want to see us, Doc?" Gwen asked him. Peter then responded with "Yeah, normally you want to see Flash or Harry after class."

Connors said "Well I wanted to thank both of you. You two are the only ones who seem to pay attention in this class during this period."

Peter and Gwen said both nodded as they both stated they liked his class the best. Connors smiled again, and dismissed them as well. As soon as he did, he then took a look into his desk and pulled out a vial. "Oh yes, . We'll find out one day…"

Normally after class was dismissed, Peter and Gwen met up with Harry, but he was dragged out of school early by his father. "So…" Gwen began to ask Peter "You like Connors' class the best too?"

Peter nodded and said "Yeah. I love science, y'know. Not to mention Connors is the best teacher." Gwen grinned and said "You got that right, Pete. Hey…you doing anything after school?"

Peter shrugged and thought "Oh yeah, I got a schedule with fighting that Boomerang guy later. He always seems to rob banks on Thursdays." but instead he just said "I think I might be a bit busy."

Gwen's grin went to a frown and she said "Oh. Well…I hope I can see you sometime soon. We hardly get to hang o—wait. Forget that. I got stuff to do too." Peter was sad to disappoint his friend, but he kept on joking anyway "So looks like we're both busy today, then." Gwen said almost solemnly "Yeah. Looks like we are…"

...

"I can't believe it!" a loud voice yelled from the Roxxon main office room. Inside were Wilson Fisk and Donald Roxxon.

"You let some people get away with stealing the Rhino suit!" Kingpin continued to yell. Donald tugged at his tie while also wiping the sweat off of his brow. "I-I'm sorry, Fisk…"

Fisk then calmed down and asked if he knew who stole it. Donald shook his head and said "Well…n-no…they stole the security footage. I-I thought I made this place impenetrable…"

Once again Fisk's calm face went into a very angry grimace, and his teeth were gritted. "Apparently not locked up enough! Your father would be very disappointed, Donald! But…I think I have an idea of who took it."

Donald's sweaty wide eyes calmed down a bit and he asked who. But everyone else in the boardroom knew where this was going. One of them thought "Fisk has done this trick a million times before. He'll do it again I can tell!" another one thought "Goodbye Donald!" and one last one thought "Well I guess we can guess who's getting Roxxon now." Donald just thought "Why's everybody so quiet anyway?"

Fisk then walked behind Donald and said "You MUST have heard of the Kingpin of Crime, have you not?" Donald nodded and said "Well…y-yeah. But I thought those was just…rumors." Fisk waved his hand and said "Afraid not, Donald. Do you know who the Kingpin is?" Donald just shook his head and guessed "I-I dunno…is it somebody like Norman Osborn or whatever?" Fisk then said "No. I'm the Kingpin and I stole the Rhino suit." as he grabbed Donald's head. He then twisted Donald's neck, killing the young CEO of Roxxon.

"Gentlemen" Kingpin addressed them all "Donald is gone, and I think I'll buy out Roxxon if nobody here minds…do they?" All the people in the board room shook their heads and said "No sir! Welcome aboard as our new CEO!" Kingpin smiled and said "Good. I'd hate to have anybody against me. Not like the police would do much, I have them in the palm of my hand as well. But still…that Spider-Man could start investigating such odd circumstances. Send out the Rhino. Finish him."

…

Speaking of Spider-Man, he was fighting some snakes. Yes. Literal snakes. "It's normally Boomerang who robs the bank on Thursdays, you need to wait your turn, Python." A lady in a green dress and hat just shrugged and said "I don't care who robs when or what."

"Then I don't care where I'm laying the smackdown on you either!" Spidey said as he leaped above the snakes and kicked her in the face. Princess Python then fell over and Spidey webbed her up. When it was over, Spidey then shook hands with Captain Stacy, the captain of police in town.

Stacy thanked Spider-Man and said "It often feels like you n' me are the only honest guys in town, Spidey. You keep watchin' out for the little guy like us. Wish I could say the same about the rest of the police force."

Spidey shrugged and say "Hey. You guys do your job too." At this point Captain Stacy wanted to tell Spider-Man that the police really didn't. Each were paid for by the Kingpin to avoid his crime spots and to arrest none of his thugs. Or if they did they'd later break them out. Sadly, he couldn't. If he did, he knew Kingpin would kill him. He'd be willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the city, but then who would watch out for Gwen, so he just shrugged and said in a melancholy tone "Yeah...they do."

Spidey then nodded and swung off. Where did he swing off to? He swung off to a hot dog stand. He ordered a nice dog. But then he realized he had no cash with him. Thankfully, he got it for free because Spidey saved the guy who ran the hot dog stand from Hypno Hustler's many nightclub attacks. Spidey thanked him, and left the stand to a local rooftop.

"Ahhh…this is the life." He thought to himself. "Still wish I could have met with Gwendy…" and like that, his smile turned into a frown, and he hunched over the roof sadly. As if out of nowhere, Spider-Woman was sitting next to him.

"Hey buddy. What's with the blues, huh?" she asked with a smile. "Don't worry yourself over it, lady." He said still with a frown.

She punched his arm softly and said "Don't be such a bummer, man. We're superheroes, how cool is this?" He just shrugged.

"It's cool I guess. But I hated having to bail on a pal of mine for it." When he said that, he spoke with a still solemn tone.

But then she wrapped her arm around him and said "Hey. If you weren't acting as Spidey today, you'd be bailing on me." This made Peter feel slightly better and he smiled again. "Guess you're right. At least I get to hang out with you."

They sat there and they talked for a while. They talked about the villains they've fought so far, they've talked about some interests, but they didn't dive in too deep, for fear of exposing their identities if they did. Before they could continue though, they both heard a large explosion. Both looked over to the other side of the building and both yelled "Is that a giant man in a rhinoceros suit?!"

And it was. Back down on the ground, the Aleksei Systevich, AKA the Rhino was ramming through cars, street lamps, and many other things. He laughed and called out Spider-Man by saying "WHERE IS SPIDER-MAN? I AM CALLING THAT LITTLE BABY MAN OUT!"

Both Spider-Man and Spider-Woman leaped off of the rooftop and Spidey quipped "I'm the baby man? I'm not the one running into things like a five year old acting like an angry bull!" Spider-Woman then said "Hah! Yeah! Where's uhhhh…" she thought of nothing as both Rhino and Spider-Man looked at her, rather flabbergasted. "You need to work on your quips" Spidey said. Rhino nodded his head in agreement. Spider-Woman said "Yeah, I know…"

"ENOUGH WITH THE JOKES!" Rhino yelled as he rammed into Spider-Man. Luckily, Spider-Man used his Spider-Sense to leap above it. Spider-Woman then tag teamed and leapt onto the Rhino, kicking him on the shoulders. Rhino laughed this hit off, and threw her into a wall. She stuck onto the wall, doing little damage.

Rhino then got an idea, something he doesn't get often. He started running at Spider-Woman. Spidey's Spider-Sense went wild, and he leapt in front of her, shoving her away. He got hit instead, and it was a clean knock out. "SPIDER-MAN!" Spider-Woman yelled in concern.

Rhino smiled and said "They always save the girl." He then picked Spidey up and carried him off. Spider-Woman tried webbing him to the ground, but she just couldn't. His mere steps snapped the webs. She tried stopping him by leaping onto his back and giving him a good strike back there. This actually kind of hurt him as he let out a slight yelp. But then he pushed her off and ran off elsewhere…
