Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Living in his Shadow. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Spiderman. Marvel and a few others do.

(New York, NYPD.)

Yuri jumped when Shadow landed on the balcony she was on.

"Morning."

Shadow stated as Yuri blinked and looked at the street where 2 Sable Trucks were parked below her.

"Morning…. So, working with Sable, I see?"

Yuri asked as Shadow shrugged, his black, red and blue outfit looked more colorful than usual.

"You could say that…"

Shadow said before flipping and landing on a table umbrella and looking down at the Police Captain.

"You wanted me for something? Spidey isn't tear the demons and Fisk and his thugs to shreds since the bombings?"

Shadow asked as Yuri frowned, Shadow was being direct, blunt and a bit militaristic…

Sable couldn't have been helping him more than a partnership? Could she?

"I've been hearing reports of Spider-Man busting up a few Demon Warehouses up city…. I know you usually do the south, but…"

Yuri started to say as Shadow blinked, his lenses contracted a little, showing he was thinking as the Sable Agents entered the room behind Yuri.

"Does he need help? Sable needs me to help a raid on a Demon Warehouse that holds a key to finding what happened to the Demon Leader…. Wait…"

Shadow Spider said as he clicked the side of his mask, information appeared on his lenses.

"Hmm… Damn… Yuri, got to go, just got a lead on the Demons I got to get cracking on… You need me, call Sable or well… Me directly…"

Shadow said before flipping off the wall, firing a web-line and vanishing down the road as Yuri watched the super hero vanish around the corner.

"Sable and…. What!?"

Yuri thought out loud as she left to go handle the NYPD handling the Demons.

(MJ apartment's rooftop.)

Spider-Man watched Shadow land on a rooftop 2 houses away as he leaned on a water tower.

"You seriously let your ex crawl through Tombstone's gang just for some documents?"

Shadow asked when Spidey flipped onto the roof, Shadow watched MJ come out to watch her and frowned.

He hadn't met MJ out of being Shadow Spider, she knew nothing about him besides him being another Spider-Man.

And Shadow wanted to keep it that way, he didn't hate the girl, but he didn't like her need to get involved in things she couldn't handle… Which MJ seemed to do on a daily basis.

"What, no 'happy to see you, big brother?', you've been gone for 2 days and you've only shown up to deal with NYPD problems 3 times… You get a job or something?"

Spidey asked as Shadow stood up and leaned on the watetower some more, his brother had always wanted him to get a job, and he was takking being a hero seriously.

"Maybe I did… You didn't answer my question, you could have just sent the infor to me over E-mail if you were busy… You know my costume has acess to the internet…. Li has connections to Osborn?"

Shadow asked, his brother nodded, Shadow sighed and he turned around before punching the metal.

"Great, the man who bombed a city rally is connected to the mirror of the city… Great, and then we will have Sandman coming in and making sand castles on the shore…. Lovely…"

Shadow said as Spidey watched his brother, his brother was always more playful, he was never this… Serious….

Something had to change over the past few days….

"I'm going to find some evidence, I guess you and her are going to… Do your thing…"

Shadow said as Spidey shrugged, he would have thought his brother would have been eager to work together.

Had Shadow had something happen to him over 2 days?

Shadow went to jump before his brother grabbed his wrist, he turned to look at Spidey.

"What? I want to track down Li before he does soething dangerous again… He already bombed a rally… That's going too far…."

Shadow stated, Spidey let his brother go as he leapt off the building and swung away, he stopped in mid air to look at his brother before swinging around a corner.

"What happened to him?"

Spidey asked as he blinked and went to walk back to MJ, he didn't know what had gotten into his brother… But he did know it scared him.

And he didn't know what to do… And that scared him more.
