thank you everybody for R&Ring the support is greatly appreciated
Rhino was tearing apart the city streets, no plan no reason just random destruction, "run, run, run as fast as you can somebody send me Spider-man!" he cackled.
Mary Jane, Ava, Gwen and Liz all hid on a fire escape of a building that was overlooking Rhino's stomping ground. M.j was snapping pictures like her life depended on it, "where's Spider-man? I need some good action shots" she said, Ava was scanning the area looking for either Peter & Ben or the team.
"Rhino cease and desist, get down on your knees with your hands on your head!" said the policemen with the mega phone,
"That's my dad!" Gwen gasped fear shrouding her voice as she poked her head between Ava and M.j just in time to see Rhino throw a car at the police officers. The car flew over their heads causing everyone to retreat but the car never landed,
They opened their eyes to see Spider-man holding the car over his head "Captain Stacey you should reconsider driving school" he chuckled as he put the car down, "pull your boys back we can handle this".
"We?" captain Stacey asked confoundedly,
Spider-man zipped back towards Rhino "leap frog" he taunted as pushed Rhino's head forward and down jumping over his head.
That only aggravated Rhino and he charged after Spider-man who ducked down a storm drain, "Spider-man come face me you coward!" he bellowed,
"Hey Rhino over here!"
Rhino whipped around to see Spider-man sitting cross legged on the roof of a car, his head darted from the storm drain to Spider-man as did everyone else who was watching. They all saw him slide into the storm drain yet there he was on top of a car.
"You…but I just…doesn't matter I'll squash you anyways!" Rhino growled charging at the car, Spider-man waited until Rhino was a few feet away then webbed his eyes and blinded him, Rhino crashed into the building the debris crashed over the street and the dust filled the air,
"I can't see a thing right now" M.j complained as she tried to find either Rhino or Spider-man, Ava's eyes found them first Ben & Peter were dressed as Spider-man, Ben wasn't wearing his Scarlet Spider suit. "What are those idiots doing now?" she sighed to herself.
The dust finally cleared and Rhino had set his sights on Spider-man once more "hold still!" Rhino growled, Spidey dropped down a sewer hole,
But reappeared from another one "over here Rhino!"
Rhino started storming after the other Spider-man who to vanished.
"Back here you big dumb animal"
"No here!"
Rhino's head shot back and forth between the two Spider-men "there's two of you?" he shrieked,
The girls stared in awe there was two Spider-men standing down in the street, "so…two of them that's…interesting" Gwen said.
The Spider twins started shooting webbing all across the street creating a giant web Rhino jumped at one Spider-man in an attempt to trample him but the Spider-man slipped through the holes in the webbing as the other popped up behind him and jumped on his back. Rhino bucked spun around until the Spidey on his back threw himself backwards launching Rhino into a wall,
"Strike!" he cheered but his enthusiasm was diminished when Rhino stood back up.
"I'd say that's more of a spare" the other Spider-man called over mockingly, Rhino was furious now, he snorted like a bull having a tantrum he took a sprinting stance with his horn pointing at Spider-man well one of them.
As soon as Rhino adverted his eyes towards the ground the Spider twins made more giant webs and started zipping through the gaps in the webbing distracting Rhino. As his head darted from point to point following the Spider-men, one would disappear just as the other popped up and landed a quick strike.
"Hold still so I can squash you bug!"
"Ok Rhino last time I'm going to tell you Spiders are Arachnids!" Spider-man shouted, that was the opening Rhino needed he whipped around and threw a chunk of concrete at Spider-man which bowled him over crashing through a display window of a designer clothing store.
"Ha-ha for once it's not me" the other Spider-man cheered before kicking Rhino into the webbing,
Once more they started zipping across the webs disappearing and reappearing between the gaps they were like the whack a mole games kids played at carnivals one would pop up as the other disappeared and switch as Rhino went to hit one. They were extremely irritating "one wall bug was bad enough…now there's two of them and they were moving so fast that he couldn't keep track of both of them and the assaults were relentless. Rhino was dazed from the barrage of hits he was taking his only clear vision was that the Spider twins had vanished.
"Incoming!"
Rhino and everyone else looked up to see car raining down on Rhino "oh…this might hurt a little bit" he mumbled as the car slammed down on him.
The Spider twins trapped Rhino in a giant web ball making sure to keep his feet off of the ground "have a nice day" Spider-man taunted as he spun Rhino like a top, "|I'm going to be sick" Rhino groaned as he spun on the spot.
Gwen went down to see her dad and Liz followed after her M.j was still snapping photos of the Spider duo while Ava was turned away talking into her communicator, M.j watched as the two Spider-men dropped on to a nearby roof, something about them seemed oddly familiar the fact that there was two of them was shocking enough but the way they acted, Spider-man always had to shout out orders at his teammates but with this strange new second Spider-man they seemed to predict each-others moves.
She continued to snap pictures when she realized they were about to remove their masks, her heart stopped she was about to see the man under the mask and snap a picture of it "this will be the scoop of the century" she cheered unable to contain her anxiety. Her hands shook with nervous energy as the Spider twins removed their masks, her heart stopped and she froze she couldn't snap a picture she was stunned the man behind the mask wasn't what she was expecting.
"Peter! & Ben!" she screamed but quickly clasped her hand over her mouth as Ava spun around wide eyed M.j just learned about Peter's secret identity and Bens too.
Peter & Ben had taken their masks off just as Ben keeled over "oh god my back" he groaned "I can see why you hate that routine getting wacked sucks"
Peter just laughed "yea but you know what that was fun"
"Peter!& Ben!" came a high pitched scream, the boys looked around in a frantic panic somebody just caught them without their masks on, they turned toward a department store and saw a flash of velvet red and a swirl of black hair.
"Oooh shit….run" Peter ordered as he dawned his mask and dove from the roof and swung away in the opposite direction of M.j and her camera,
The boys made it home but they were not calm and collective, as a matter of fact they were rushing around the house trying to hide their suits and tech before M.j came over and kicked down the front door. Not to mention Aunt May would be home soon and her birthday dinner wasn't done because the barbeque was blown up.
"You hide the gear I'll call the iron skillet and order some food for delivery" Ben blurted as he pulled his suit off and ran into the kitchen while Peter picked up the clothes and ran into the basement. He hid them behind a stack of boxes and ran upstairs he was now only wearing his boxers when the front door creaked open and Aunt May walked in.
("God…why do you hate me?")
Aunt May blinked in horrible shock "Peter…uhm" she adverted her eyes away outside "is Ava here?" she laughed,
Peter's face turned a new shade of red he was sure it was glowing "No I just don't have any clean laundry" he lied, before running upstairs, throwing on a pair of old jeans and a black t-shirt and grabbing a change of clothes for Ben.
Aunt May was in the kitchen pouring out 7 glasses of juice "we expecting company?" Ben asked,
"Actually yes M.j was having a sleep over and asked if she and the others could come over to celebrate my birthday" Aunt May replied happily.
Both Peter and Bens jaws dropped if M.j did catch a glimpse of them without their masks then dinner was going be very awkward.
The sound of the doorbell echoed through the house sending chills down Peter & Ben's spines and in walked Ava and the others, Ava was carrying a pie "happy birthday Mrs. Parker" they sang.
Everyone gathered in the den while Aunt May opened her gifts, except Peter and Ava who were in the kitchen getting cake and pie ready,
Aunt May had had opened her first gift from Phil Coulson a pearl necklace with diamond earrings "they're beautiful Phil" she said graciously kissing his cheek she picked up the next box when Ava's voice came from the kitchen.
"Peter get your fingers out of my pie!" she laughed.
Ben choked on his drink spraying over the couch and catching M.j and Gwen in the mist,
"I can't help myself it's so moist and alluring Peter replied.
Gwen was going red in the cheeks hearing the context of the conversation,
"Peter get your sticky hands out now!" there was a loud slapping noise from the kitchen "stop being greedy!"
"Come on Ava just a little taste of the black cherry?" Peter whined.
Ben looked around the den everyone was starting to go red in the cheeks "come on I'm sure that they're not doing what we all think they're doing in there" he deadpanned.
"Ow! You bit me Peter!" Ava yelped,
"Then again I've been wrong before" Ben moaned pressing his fingers to his eyes.
"Get your face out of there Peter if you want a piece that bad I'll give some just wait 2 minutes"
"Uhm should we may be give them some more privacy?" Liz laughed awkwardly,
"Peter stop!" Ava snapped.
"Ok that one didn't sound so bad" Ben said,
"Peter keep your hands to yourself!"
"And there it is" Ben sighed, finally Ava came in carrying a cake with Peter behind eating a piece of black cherry pie.
"Ohhh that makes sense" M.j laughed, catching curious looks from Peter and Ava "nothing" she laughed,
"Happy birthday aunt May" Peter said as he dropped next to her and passed her his gift, she opened it and saw a picture framed that read world's best mom with a picture of her Peter and Ben,
"Thank you boys" she said getting teary eyed.
The night progressed and the girls all unpacked their sleeping bags on the floor.
Gwen and Liz had fallen asleep but M.j couldn't sleep after what she saw tonight, she wanted talk about it because it was driving her crazy the situation did and didn't make sense, Peter Parker as Spider-man? Peter was always the awkward shy kid and still was yet whenever Spider-man showed up Peter was never around and that day tapster fought Spider-man at school it was Peter who unmasked himself when flash was supposed to be playing Spider-man.
But that still left the riddle of Ben he had Spider-man's powers too and the uncanny resemblance he shared with Peter when he dyed his hair and wore those blue contact lenses, it bugged M.j to the point where she needed to talk to somebody and who better then Peter's girlfriend.
"Ava…are you awake?" she whispered shaking Ava's shoulder,
Ava moaned as she stretched awake "what is it?"
M.j thought about her choice for a minute before continuing she passed Ava her camera it was paused on the picture of Peter & Ben in their Spider suits but no masks, Ava's eyes widened in fear at what she was looking at.
"Peter & Ben both have Spider powers and Peter's fought Trapster at school as Spider-man and whenever Spider-man was around Peter never is, and that picture tonight basically confirms it" M.j whispered.
"if you're so sure about this how does Ben fit in to your theory and why do you still sound like your grasping at straws to make a correct hypothesis" Ava yawned.
"I don't know yet, but you're awfully calm for someone who just realized her boyfriend is a super hero" M.j responded suspiciously.
Ava yawned again "M.j it's 3 in the morning, and you still haven't explained how Ben fits in to this" she finished groggily,
"I don't know yet. But I was thinking about confronting them both about it tomorrow, didn't you notice how similar those two looked and acted today?"
Ava now sat up because she knew she wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon "M.j are you really suggesting that Peter and Ben are actually brothers or something?" she asked.
M.j glanced at Liz & Gwen who were still sleeping on the floor "no not brothers as in same parents, but Maybe Spider-man's boss created Ben in a lab using a sample of Peter's D.N.A to try and create a second Spider-man as a worst case scenario protocol or something" she whispered "because I've known Peter since we were 6 and he never once mentioned Ben until about 4 years ago after Spider-man first came around and now tonight I catch a photo of them both as Spider-man just seconds after a fight with Rhino….it all fits together" she said.
Ava laid back down "M.j before you do something you regret sleep on this and think it through" she yawned and rolled to look away from M.j she pulled her phone and texted Peter "M.j knows!"
M.j knows! with a click of her camera the boys secret is out ...at least one is but now she's suspicious of their familial ties.
wonder how that interrogation will go?
an out of context conversation created an awkward environment and on Aunt May's birthday no less.
A/N: sorry the Whack a mole routine wasn't as amusing as it should have been just couldn't find the right way to describe it.
still to come:
Spiders exposed.
Goblin escapes.
and farewell Spider brother hello flaming friend: another face from Peter's past shows up after a vacation in aspen he's cocky, egotistical and a real hot head (no intro needed for him is there?)
