"Okay Iron-Man we are going on the air, in three, two, and one." The cameraman called rolling the film for Iron-Man's big announcement.

"My fellow superhumans and heroes, I'm calling on you today to unite and do the right thing, not just for us, but for the whole world. Iron-Man made his opening announcement on television. "Recent events have left the public doubting us. But we have chance to exercise our powers and earn back public trust. The Superhuman Registration Act will not stop us from fighting crime and saving lives. It will give us increase accountability and a mandate from the citizens. It will also give us a chance to once again be the good guys. Register today, it's the right thing to do and it's the law." Iron-Man concluded.

"This message was brought to you by the Stark Foundation," as the credits started to roll.

"Cut and print, that's a wrap folks," The director shouted to the film crew.

The film crew disbanded as the bell ranged and lights dimmed that afternoon. Nothing much had changed. It was hard day for them. Where would they stand at this point? Heroes from all over were still not proud of the president's decision to enforce this unfair new law. Tony did the best he could, but even his reliable resources weren't enough to convince the government to change his mind.

Since the Act was going to be a law soon, Tony had already rallied his forces as well as Captain America.

"You're a real Mr. President out there Tony." Peter said wielding his trusty camera.

"Anything it takes to get the word out for those who either agree or disagree with the Registration Act." Iron-Man said. "Where do you stand in this Peter? I could really use a right hand man."

"I haven't decided yet." Peter replied.

Before they could take their leave, an incoming transmission came to television without the film crew's consent.

It was Captain America making his opening announcement to the people on T.V. "Attention everyone, the right thing to do is not to turn superheroes into common criminals because they stand up for their civil liberties. It's not to bind with red tape for those who seek to protect the innocent. It's not to endanger those who risk their lives for this country by forcing them to reveal their secret identities. No, the right thing to do is to stand up with your fellow heroes and fight the Registration Act. Whose side are you on?" Captain America concluded his speech.

After his speech, the last message that said, "Stop the S.H.R.A and join the fight."

"Great, Cap is a figurehead now. He really won't live this down." Iron-Man said.

"I don't know Tony, revealing my identity to the world is a stretch even for me. I worked all my life to keep it hidden from the world." Peter told Tony out of his Iron-Man suit.

"I understand you don't want to repeat the same mistake like from the past, and it's the law."

"Even so, I'm not you. I didn't reveal my identity to the world and have boatload of money. If I do that my enemies will stop at nothing to make sure I'm dead or at least have my head mounted on their wall."

"I promise you that will have the most secure protection as possible. I won't let anything came to them, not your aunt or even your wife." Tony continued to push. "If you go down this path, you'll be a criminal. Not just the police, but SHIELD and the Pro Registration will be after you."

"Like you had clean record all your life Mr. I get drunk after meetings."

"I'm being serious Peter. I need to know where you stand in this. It begins at midnight the next day." Tony tried to convince Peter.

"Give me time to think it over Tony." Peter said trying to get away.


As he did is daily web slinging to clear his head over the Registration Act situation he looked down at the city. There was so questions that pounded into his head. He been Spider-Man since he was young, did he really want to give that up now. Could he even imagine himself in such predicament? It was not that he did not have fate in Tony's abilities, but was he really willing to take that risk? Could possibly deal with another tragedy?

Before he could let out sigh, purple smoke clouded him and his spider sense. "Greetings to you Spider-Man, I sense your troubled mind." Instead of Madam Webb, Rose, the Italian fortunate teller appeared before him.

"Madam Webb usually comes unexpectedly, but less flashy." Spider-Man teased.

"She is rather busy at the moment so I came in her place." Rose greeted setting up a table with handful of Tarot Cards. "Please take a seat and let your mind be at ease."

Spider-Man picked out card to reveal a demon covered in fire. He picked out second card to show another demon engulfed in nature. Already he was at a loss for words over the situation Rose was showing him. "So educate me, what does this mean exactly? They are both demons."

"Silly boy, off course they are demons." Rose set the cards on measuring scale, but they were evenly matched. "Their power is equal to one another, meaning that there are the lesser of two evils."

"Lesser of two evils, but one is following the law and the other is not. It's fight between whose right and who's wrong." Spider-Man explained.

"Yes, one path will lead to enlightenment while the other leads to destruction. And depending on the choices most people make with this new law, it will have very unfortunate outcome perhaps even bigger." Rose made her tarot cards disappear. "Be on your guard Spider-Man, I trust you will make the right choice for your future not just for yourself but for others who believe in you. Good luck. And even if you do, you are not alone."

A minute later, Spider-Man was back on top of the building as Rose had diapered from his sight. "Man I never thought I'd miss Madam Webb and her lectures. I really should avoid these late nights."

As he came home, Chun Li waited for him resting on his bed. She was glad to see him as she greeted with warm hug. "I've been waiting for you. I wish you'd tell me otherwise, that you're going to be taking an extension Peter."

He wrapped his armed around her body. "Sorry Chun Li, I just had a lot on my mind and I needed to get it off my chest."

Chun Li leaned her back on Peter's. "You're not the only one smart guy."

"Chun Li, if I make the wrong choice, would you still support me?"

Chun Li kneed down in front placed her hands on both her husband shoulders. "I would until my last breath Peter, regardless of the outcome. You are my husband after all. Even if some may disagree, I have faith your decision. You'll always my support. You're not alone in this."

"Thank you Chun Li." Peter let out big smile thus his worries have lifted. "When I'm with you around there is nothing we can't accomplish together."
