Thursday Queens, New York 9:15 a.m

Terry woke up with the same clothes he went to sleep in. He then decided to get cleaned up and put some clothes. He now wore a black hooded jacket along with a blue t-shirt, cargo pants and tennis shoes as he left in his room. As he got outside he changed into his costume went downstairs to meet his mom and dad in their new house.

'For the past months, I've been with my parents along with Dante and Laurie for the rest of my life. Mom got rich with an inheritage from her parents that we had an estate in Queens. Apparently, my mom worked at a place called Horizon labs and so did my dad for a while back. So, I've pretty much been living in the estate for the last months.' Terry thought

"Morning, mom." he said he hugged her and went inside. He found his father working on a couple of things before he noticed Terry.

"Terry come here, I have to show you something real quick. Take a look at this beauty." his dad said as he showed Terry some type of watch but appear to look a little bit high-tech to him though.

"What is that?" asked Terry

"It's called the Wrist Morpher. It's nanites and an unknown substance used to create an andvanced suit, but this is just a prototype that never saw mass production. It's pretty hard to come by these days." said his dad

"So, how does it work?" asked Terry

"The instructions are right here on this watch. So listen, your mother and I have to go for a while. We have to make a few errands for ourselves." replied his father

"Bryant, I'm ready when you are!" his mom shouted waiting for him from the door

"In a minute!" he said as he looked back at his son

"Terry, remember what I told you about the Green Samurai when you were young?" his father asked him

"Yeah, he fights for honor and peace." answered Terry

"He also fights for truth. Because not only he is a person, but he is an ideal for others to take in his place. So others can follow his ways, as they fight for his honor. Remember that." his dad said as he and his wife left.

Both of his parents left after he put on the wrist morpher. He carefully read the instructions until it was 3:00 as he begun to change the suit, a hologram of the suit blared up. He started to turn the suit into the Scarlet Spider he once wore but had the suit look white but the lenses were black along with there being a long black spider symbol. Terry have to figure out the settings later, but first he decided to head out for some food as he was starving. Terry then decided to wear his costume before using the wrist morpher and swing around to find a diner or burger joint. Luckily for him, he found himself a diner as he walked in.

He sat down at the stool as the waitress walked towards him, ready to take his order.

"I'll take a cheeseburger here stat." said Terry

For a few minutes, Terry was eating his food and watched the news as the world still had problems with mutants. Sooner or later, he knew they would try a superhuman registration act someday just like his father said.

'No matter where I go, people are always afraid of mutants, superhumans, and everyone else. I just hope it doesn't come to that they outlaw being a hero or something worse' he thought as he looked at the news to see a building on fire.

"Check, please." said Terry as the waitress gave Terry a check as he paid for it. He walked out the diner sprinted towards a alley way and decided to use the wrist morpher as a first trail but changed the suit into a red suit with white lenses and a large black spider symbol instead. Terry could feel the nanites and the substance going through his entire body. As his skin was atttached with his costumized suit, he then swung through every building until he finally found the burning building. He was about to do save anyone trapped in the building until, he noticed a familiar boy he once tutored leapt towards the building and started wall crawling.

"Miles? Time to use my Spider vision." said Terry under his mask his eyes turned bright green and saw a genetic structure within miles. 'Miles has altered DNA from a spider just like me. But, it's only from the OZ-compound. Which means he has spider powers just like Spider-Man and me, but not from the Orion strain.' he thought

'I'll jump in when I need to but in three seconds, I'll jumped in to help him out.' Terry thought

Terry saw that Miles pulled a woman out of the window as she landed on a fire mat. Terry then saw Miles go inside the burning building as Terry looked down and saw Miles' friend Ganke and everyone else starting to get worried until suddenly, Miles jumps out of with a little girl and a puppy and lands on the mat. Terry was impressed that the kid he tutored was his first step in being a hero, but felt that Miles didn't want anything to do with it. Terry then saw Miles leaping building to building and followed that lead him towards an alley a couple of blocks from the burnt building so he decided to talk to Miles.

"That was pretty heroic what are you did, Miles." Terry said as Miles jumped out while Terry lands his feet on the ground.

"The Scarlet Spider? What are you doing in Brooklyn?" asked Miles

"I come here to stay in New York. So, how'd you get your powers?" replied Terry

"You wouldn't believe me." he said sadly

"You got bit by a spider, did you? Knocked you out and the next thing you know you have spider powers? Yeah, the same thing happened to me." said Terry

"Look, I know what you getting at but I'm not a superhero." said Miles as he looked down on the ground

"Miles, you saved those peoples' lives, you saved that little girl and a puppy, and you went in regardless people think you're different than them. You're a hero, kid." said Terry as he handed Miles a halloween costume but modified it with his wirst morpher. Miles looked at it and saw a black suit with a red spider symbol on the front and a larger one on the back along with red webbing patterns and white lenses.

"Whenever you change your mind. Later Miles, and watch yourself Spider-Boy." said Terry joked at Miles before he leapt up the building and swung through the city to hang out with Hector and Laura so he called them up and see what were they doing. He stopped on a flag pole and called them.

"Hey Laurie, what are you and Dante up to?" said Terry

'We're pretty much where everyone else is watching the football game Midtown is having.' said Laura

"Alright. I'll make my there as soon as-" said Terry until he saw two police cars and a ambulance pulled over the street

"Laurie, I'll have call you back." said Terry as he quickly changed his clothes and make way to the crowd. Terry gently move the crowd out of his way until his eyes widened as he saw his parents, the two people he cared about bleeding in front of him.

"MOM! DAD! What happened?" Terry yelled

"Runaway suspect. They've both been shot." said the policewoman

With a tears dropping from his eye, Terry approached his parents. his mother and father looked at him and said "Terry, we're sorry this had to happen."

"No, NO. you can't die on me. Come on dad, you and mom have to stay with me!" said Terry

"My baby boy, now a man. A proud one at that." said his mom as she started to cough badly along with his father

"Terry, I just want to say that we'll always been proud of y -" said his father die in front of his son's eyes. Terry looked down as he was holding back the tears as sadness clouded him. He balls his fists up with rage as walks away from the sight with his dead parents and changes into his costume in alley. Terry climbed building to building as the he leapt off swung to a pole which landed him a roof, while he leapt to a water tower and he jumped and land on top of the roof on a building in all fours. Terry looked down when he police cars chasing his dad's car and under his mask, he narrowed his eyes.

Terry took a few steps up on the roof and took a deep breath as he ran off the roof and flew in the air when suddenly, he started to lose control. He screamed with shock that he was falling and started to swing his webs as he swung with velocity as he followed the chase. He landed on the roof of his dad's car by punching a hole and tried to grab the wheel only welcomed with a few gun shots he easily dodged and jumped in a truck, as he afterwards jumped off an expressway and jumped on the front side of the stolen car and punched the window. His spider-sense came up as the car was near a gate and jumped off with when the gang member went to an abandoned building.

The building was so dark, that gang banger had his gun loaded not knowing what will happened next. Police lights circle the warehouse as a mysteriosus shadow appears and stares the thug.

"Who's there?!" said thug

The thug saw the shadow as he shot and missed.

BLAMBLAM

He makes his way door to find out that it's locked as the shadowed figure bashed the thugs head on the door and pushes him. The thug than pulled out his knife as the figure dodged the blows and kicked it towards a support beam. the figure hangs from the knife and stroke two kicks to the thugs chest. Frightened and terrorfied, the thug pulls himself back to a window because of fear.

"Just give me a chance, just give me a chance!"

The figure appeared to be Terry as the mask was moved off him with anger and rage being projected towards the thug.

"What about my parents? Did you ever gave them a chance? DID YOU?!" Terry said as he grabbed the collar of the thugs towards the window.

Terry's eyes widened as he saw who it was, it was one of the thugs the Shocker had, the one that was taken away. The thug just laughed as he pulled a knife towards his face with a devious grin on the thug's face as he laughed.

"See ya." the thug said then prepare to stab Terry, but Terry grabbed the thug's arm and snaps it. With the thug paranoid, he aimed the gun to Terry's head. Terry begun to launch a punch to the thug but all of a sudden, strange energy had came off from his hand as the thug was blasted through the window falling to his death as his eyes popped up shocked. Terry then noticed the police surrounding the building as he fled the scene. However, Terry stopped at a hospital in Queens where his mother was being taken. Terry waited for a while, as the doctor appeared.

"How is she?" Terry asked the doctor with his head down

"The bullet wound that inflicted on her chest caused internal bleeding. We did what we could to help her, but she didn't make it." the doctor said with Terry down his knees and tears coming out of his eyes.

Terry arrived back home to found that Laura had her mouth covered along with three people that stayed in his house was his 51 year old uncle Joseph Cole who was his mother's brother. Terry's older sister Kim and Sarah Thornweb who was the maid, family friend, and caretaker of Terry, and Dante looking down at the TV. Terry turn himself to the tv but what he saw make his eyes widened with shock. He saw a red-haired girl along with a blonde girl and an old woman mourning a 17 year old who was actually Spider-Man who just died.

"How did this happen?" said Terry

"The Sinister six were at the parker residence waiting to kill spider-Man and his love ones. The Human torch and Iceman got taken down by them only leaving Spider-Man and the Green goblin to duke it out with Spider-Man hitting him with a truck. Spider-Man won but an explosion blasted him and along the way killed him." Dante answered sadly

"He's not the only dead. Guys, my dad is.. dead." said Terry

"And your mother?" his caretaker said looking him in the eyes

"She didn't come out of it." he finished off looking down

Terry told them what happened with his sister crying on Dante's shoulder as Sarah tend to comfort her. While his uncle put his hand on his nephew's shoulder with Laura comforting him. they agreed that they call in a family friend their parents knew in New York a call and a requested a funeral for a few days.

Few days later, Thursday cemetry 11:35 a.m.

'It's hard to see the ones you cared about and love the most die in front of you. You tell yourselves: they didn't deserves this, or it wasn't their time, but somehow life and death row around us in a cycle. This cycle is frequently used and is always used due to time. As it happens, only you or anyone else is suffering for it. In this case, me and others are suffering from this tragedy. Sarah and Uncle Joe filled out the guardian papers making her my legal guardian due to my parents' will, while my uncle went back to LA with my sister. She was my caretaker whenever my parents was too busy with work or something else since I was born. All I have watching me was her from now on.' Terry thought

Terry, Dante, Laura, his sister Kim and a man by the name of Adam Gardener who was a friend of his parents in the CIA like his father along with some old friends his mom knew. They all gathered and made amends for their fallen friends everyone including Terry had their say in the funeral. After the funeral, everyone left expect Terry as he placed flowers over his parents' graves. He then spotted another funeral taking place as he walked forward three people he saw a blonde girl, a red-haired one, and an old woman who he noticed were Spider-Man's loved ones. Terry now realized he was in Spider-Man's funeral as he a caught a glimpse of Spider-Man's name.

"Here lies Peter Parker. loving son and nephew." he whispered to himself as he was noticed by a couple of policemen.

"I need to see your clearance card, kid." said officer

"I don't have a card." said Terry the officer grabbed his shoulder only to be stopped by the old woman.

"It's alright. He can stay." said the old woman

"Thank you. I'll only be here for a couple of minutes." said Terry

Terry stared at the grave of Peter Parker as he looked down and closed his eyes to the hero who he met and possibly a good friend, for a idolized seventeen year old.

"You're nephew was a good man, Mrs. Parker." said Terry

"Thank you. And it's May, just May." said May Parker

And with the minutes past, Terry turned back away from the funeral. But before he would, he looked back at the grave of Spider-man and said

"With great power, comes great responsibly." he quoted

After he said that, he walked away but he felt a touch to his shoulder. He looked to see it was the blonde haired girl from the funeral looking at him.

"What did you say?" said the blonde

"With great power, comes great responsibly. That's what he told me right before he died." said Terry as he walked away from the funeral and went back home. Terry went to his room and opened the door to see that Dante and Laura were sitting down looking at him. She walked towards him and hugged him, while Dante patted his shoulder.

"Are you okay? You didn't come back with everyone else." said Laura

"Yeah, I just need some time alone." said Terry

"Are you sure?" said Dante

"Yeah, please." said Terry

"Alright, I gotta go to work." said Dante

"And I have to go for an audition. Let us know if you need anything." Laura replied

Dante and Laura left his room as Terry took out his funeral clothes and put on a pair of jeans on along with a black t-shirt and turned on the tv.

"In other news, police are trying to apprehend Blackie Drago, A.K.A Vulture. But met with no success whatsoever. Wait, Daredevil has arrived on the scene! While it appears he is attending to apprehend the Vulture, he is also in need of assisstance!" said the newcaster as Terry saw an bald man with a high-tech green and white flight suit with swords as wings taking down the police and fighting a man wearing all red with a devil horned mask wielding batons. Terry wondered should he fight Vulture and takes Spider-Man's place or not. He also remembered what Spider-Man told him: 'with great power, comes great responsibly.' he thought holding a book that was written about every villian Spider-Man had ever faced. How they fought, what would their weakness, weak spots, etc. He flipped to the fourth page were the Vulture was, while he found out his weakness was his harness.

"Alright then, I'll do it. Not just for Spider-Man, but for my parents too. " said Terry as he hits a button on his wrist morpher to change into his costume, but it looked different. It looked like the Scarlet spider costume he once wore only it was black and with a different spider symbol on it was white with a black mask with only the lenses were a little wider and the webbing patterns were grey. Whatever it was, the power of the suit felt good. Real good! He nodded his head in approval as he jumped out the bedroom window and web slings towards the disturbance.

Terry arrived at the scene as he saw Daredevil sent flying back, only for Terry to create a huge web that caught the man without fear on impact. He then had his sights on the Vulture, who was up in the air with a police officer, and dropped him. Terry web-zipped and save the officer along the way, did a swinging kick to Vulture's face that sent him flying back. Daredevil was transfixed seeing another Spider-Man who seemed a bit more experienced.

"YOU! I thought you were dead!" said Vulture

Terry sticked to a wall as he narrowed his eyes and smiled under his mask. He then jumped and start shooting web balls at Vulture only for him to mauever them and grabbed Terry along with Daredevil by bringing them to a roof and dropped him as he landed on his feet. Terry along with Daredevil, took defensive stances with them preparing for the fight.

Terry shot his web to strike Vulture he retailates and strikes with his sword wings but not before, Terry grabbed his foot as he kicked Vulture's chest where the harness was. Terry then released two palm strikes to Vulture's chest along with a right hook to Vulture's head. Vulture pushed Terry away as he sends his sword feathers at him, but Terry manuevers them by running on them shooting his web balls at a few of them and kicked Vulture in his chest that sent him flying to a building. Vulture's wings appeared as he charged Terry only for Vulture to be grabbed from the neck by Daredevil with Terry coming from behind as he used his full strength to swung him towards a building as he crashes. Daredevil landed safely on the ground using his grappling hook from his baton as Terry dodged Vulture's every attack until they were in mid-air with Terry releasing a powerful kick towards Vulture's chest that it slams him to the ground. Daredevil brings his attention to the new Spider-Man as he walked towards him.

"Meet me at Hell's kitchen at 9:00 p.m." said Daredevil as he fled from the scene

With Vulture regaining consciousness, he finds himself stick to a traffic light. He then woke up to see the new Spider-Man staring at him

"Now be a good little birdie and wait here til' the cops come get here to put you back in the coop." said the new Spider-Man as two police cars stop when they saw Vulture webbed to a traffic light along with Terry. They aimed their guns at both Spider-Man and Vulture.

"Hold it right there, both of you! And you, who're you suppose to be?" said the officer keeping his gun pointing at Terry.

"I'm the new Spider-Man, that's who." said Terry as he web slings away from the scene and left. Terry was at top of the Empire state building building with his face showing.

Hell's kitchen, New York rooftop 9:00 p.m.

Terry arrived at Hell's kitchen, just like Daredevil had told as he waited for him. His spider-senses kicked in as he dodged a blow from behind, only to see the red suited and horned mask man in front of him.

"What the hell?!" he yelled out

"Who are you?" he demanded

"I'm the new Spider-Man! Why you are trying to hit me?" Terry said

"Hmm. Your heart tells me you where something else before the new Spider-Man." Daredevil replied as Terry eyes were widened under his mask at Daredevil's comment

"How did you-" Daredevil cuts him off

"I have heigthened senses, kid. I can tell if you're lying through your heartbeat." he stated

"Okay, alright. Before I become the new Spider-Man, I was once the Scarlet Spider from LA for a year back and for the past six months before the original Spider-Man died." Terry replied

"Tell me, what made you want to become the new Spider-Man?" he asked him

"Before Spider-Man was killed, My parents were shot. My dad died, along with my mom. I didn't know about Peter Parker's death until I came home that night." Terry answered sadly

Daredevil understood what this kid felt like, such as his experience of losing someone close to him. Daredevil looked back at Terry seeing someone who wanted no one to suffer that way, ever again.

"I promised that I will protect this city from those who would harm innocents. I will protect this city because I'm told that with great power, comes great responsibly." Terry said with a strong tone

Daredevil looked at him for a moment and smiled at him, which surprised Terry at that point on. He chuckled and turned back as he prepared to leave, but he looked back at Terry with a grin.

"You're clear, kid. It seems you got his determination. And one last thing, make New York proud." he said as he jumped from the rooftop and into the shadows. Terry saw he vanished and decided to web sling away from Hell's kitchen

'So now people know there's a new Spider-Man in town. I got a couple of hours to spare before I hit the hay. But one thing I wonder is this: how will the city react to a new Spider-man? I guess I'm gonna have to get use to what people say. I will say this though: I will become the best Spider-Man I could be and watch over this city.' he thought as he jumped from the roof and swinged across the city for the remainder of the time. Terry stopped three robbery, three muggings, and four car chases. With Terry tired, he headed back home to get some rest.

two weeks later Midtown high, friday 2:55 p.m.

"Crap, crap, crap!" said Terry he bolted through school campus to reach his class while handling an armed robbery with him stopping. He slowly approached the class as a caucasian woman in his mid-thrirties gave out a lecture.

"Could someone tell me what is the solution of Mercury is? said the woman turning away from the board

"Ether." replied Terry

"Excuse me?" asked the woman

"The solution is ether, Ms. Walsh." he said

"Yes Mr. Komori, that is correct. And here I thought you would be late as usual." said Dr. Walsh

"Well, not today." said Terry

The bell rings as students in the classroom got up from their desks and left the room. Terry got his things and left the room along with his friend Dante.

"I went to find out if I can get a raise at Empire News and along with this new industry, Horizon labs for internship." said Terry

"So, what they say?" asked Dante

"Horizon labs said they were full, and Empire News told me McDonald's was hiring." said Terry

"Dude, all the fries you can eat. You won't even have to super size." replied Dante

They felt a hand on their shoulder. They turn around to see Laura walking behind them as they smiled and waved towards her.

"Did you guys hear about that Spider-Boy taking down that kangeroo guy last night?" she asked

"Yeah, I heard about it last night from the news. How does one guy who gets his ass kicked so much and then out of nowhere does one touch to that kangeroo guy that he gets knocked out? Some sort of kung fu or vulcan nerve pinch thing goin' on I guess." said Dante

"Anyway, you guys going to the party tonight at 8 o' clock tonight?" asked Laura

"I'm in." said Dante

"Me too. I'll get there as soon as I can." replied Terry

New York rooftops, 7:45 p.m.

Terry stood on the edge of the roof in his spider suit, viewing the city and in total awareness for any suspicous activity. 'Okay, let's go over this again.' he thought as he swung building to building 'There are some people that agree with a new Spider-Man and there are those who hate the idea. I should have expected this after all. ' he thought while he landed on a building.' But that doesn't mean I've given up. I will never give. This is for my parents and Spider-Man. I also need to do this for them, and for Peter.' he thought as he leapt to a building. But out of nowhere, his spider-sense popped up while his head was hit from an unknown figure.

Terry landed on his back on the rooftop of another building, as he groaned with pain rubbing his head. the figure landed in front of him as he was knocked down from the figure. The figure was a woman in a red costume with a white spider along with her face covering up with a mask expect her hair.

"Who the hell kicked me?" asked Terry rubbing his head with his vision a little bluring

"I did. I'm Spider-Woman and who are you?" she said
