AUTHOR'S NOTE #1: Sorry for the long delay. I was hospitalized and then I have my exams. Here is the latest chapter of Before Webs. I got some great ideas from my friends. Please! Please! Comment on my work. I am planning to write two spin-offs. I will tell the idea after the story.

If someone says, his or her life is perfect, he is lying. Our lives were never meant to be perfect. Harry is handsome, rich, basketball player, but he is alone on the breakfast table. MJ is cool, fashionable and beautiful, but she has some parent issues to deal with. Gwen is smart and beautiful if she gets rid of those glasses, but her Dad is always busy. Flash got issues which he never shares. Peter's life is full of issues, but he may get some confidence to face them.

On holidays, it will be a miracle if MJ Watson wakes up before 11:00 am. But today, she woke up at 9:00 am when she heard some screaming downstairs. "Anna, please- just let me see her. It will hardly take a minute." MJ recognized that voice. The sleepiness fades and replaced by mixed feelings of joy and anger. Her ear touches the wall as she tries to hear everything downstairs. "Lemme see my daughter, Anna. Sweety, your daddy is here." MJ's father yells to reach out to his red-haired angel.

"Please, you should not be here-"

"I know- I know that you have her custody until the case is solved, and all I can do is beg to you, so please, I want to confirm that she is-"

"You are such an actor. I don't whether to believe you or despise you. I am telling you. She. Is. Alright." Aunt Anna never spoke to Rick Watson like this before.

MJ never believed it, that her father attempted to murder her mother, but she can not deny the fact, that it was her mother's blood on Rick's shirt on that day, his fingerprints on the knife and now her mother is in the coma thanks to the alcoholic and violent liar downstairs. "Yes, I was jealous of her fame, but I love her, Okay? I never tried to murder my wife." MJ cries. She doesn't know whether to believe him or not. She just closes her eyes and pray- Go away, please!

"Please, Rick. Get out before I call the police." Anna was dead serious.

"At least, give this to her." Rick hands over an envelope to Anna and leaves the house. He took a long glimpse at her daughter's room before he starts his Pontiac GTO and drives off to New Jersey. Anna opens the envelope and burst into tears.

MJ wipes the tears off her tears with a huge cold splash of water. She reaches her phone to check her FB status. OMG! She got 1000+ likes for her Display Picture. "The pink color-" Mary Jane looks out of the window. Her brown-haired, blue-eyed and nerdy neighbor called out for her. "-it is not your style."

"You really love that roof, don't you?" MJ steps out of the window and sits of the roof. "How much you heard?"

"Heard- nothing. Just saw your Dad driving that car. I thought I should give you space, but you usually eat ice-cream tubs and binge watch How I Met Your Mother?"

Peter smiles. MJ punch herself. No really! "Thank You, Peter. For always being there for me."

"We are friends. No 'thank you' and 'sorry' between friends. Now, how about us eat some ice-cream. I will call Harry."

"Let me give a ring to Gwen." MJ jumps off the roof and steps into her room.

Pisces likes to start his day, listening to opera. It makes his finger dance on the keyboard. He likes his coffee strong. Pisces is a young Japanese prodigy. He made it into news headlines very often: GENIUS TURNS EVIL. (CRUNCH) The music stops, and he found little Gemini, sitting on a huge white throne, eating wafers. Even terrorists don't have a perfect beginning of life. Pisces bites his lips and tries to occupy himself in work.

"How did get that thing in my room? This big, with no sound? And why in my room?"

"I finished watching, Naruto. I want some more animes to watch." Gemini throws a pen drive at him.

"That was no answer, and I am busy here. I need to hack the school systems before-" Gemini closes Pisces' laptop, "HEY! When did you-"

"I was not asking." Gemini's voice had a ghostly effect. "You don't want to mess with my brother-" His black hairs starts turning into white. "Now do what I-" The conversation was interrupted by loud banging noise from the basement. "What is that?" Gemini asks in his childish tone.

"Sagittarius is practicing."

"Ooh! It will be fun. Gimme those animes by evening." Gemini walks out of the room. Pisces checks the door to see if he really is gone or not.

"Peace!" Pisces gets back to his work, but his phone rings. He gets a text and he rushes out of the room.

In the basement, Sagittarius took 5 bullseye shots. His pistol was custom made. Dense metal was used to construct it so that Sagittarius can use it as a staff in close combat. Sagittarius aims at an empty car. He waits for few second in the same pose, until Gemini shows himself. Sagittarius flipped the pistol and hands it to the little Gemini.

"Woah! It is heavy. You seem skinny, but you have some strength. I admit that." Gemini struggles to keep it safe even with both of his hands. "Where are Leo and Capricorn?" Sagittarius checks his wristwatch. He uses his hand for the countdown. 5...4...3...2...1...0... A loud noise of a chopper appears above the building.

"Wake up, Aries. Leo is here." Aquarius said to the pink pony-tailed girl. "We have to line up."

"Leave, space for me in the line, I will right before he steps out of the elevator. (Yawn) He will say nothing to me. I am his favorite."

"Sagittarius, you are back. Let's have a one on one." The big guy bangs his fist together, craving for a fight.

"You heard us or not? Leo is coming. No time to fight. Is everything at the right place? Aquarius please calm Taurus down. Pisces, where are you?"

"You heard her, Taurus. No fights!" Aquarius use fishing wires to hold Taurus down. Aquarius skills with wires are amazing. They move like water.

"HERE HE COMES! Virgo, you stand in front." Pisces said.

"You must be excited to see them again? We missed you, Leo." Capricorn said as they go down in the elevator. "Don't you start a fight with him."

"He needs to be taught a lesson. Bombarding a city, and now we are about to hijack a school. It is against our ethics."

The elevator stops at the ground floor. The doors slide and "ATTENTION!" Virgo followed by Sagittarius to the Cancer at the end of a line except Aries who jumped and joined just a second before Leo stepped out. Capricorn proceeds and joins the line, standing before Sagittarius in line.

"Virgo, present." a woman with gray hairs and eyes calls out the name. "Sagittarius, present." Sagittarius was mute, so she spoke on his behalf.

"Capricorn, present." a 50-years-old man said with a smile and a low volume. "Welcome home."

"Aquarius, present." a sexy mid-30 women with blue hair shout out her name in proud.

"Pisces, present." he adjusts her spectacles.

"Aries, present." she said in a cute girly tone.

"TAURUS, PRESENT!" a man as huge as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but bulkier and more straightforward shouts at the top of his voice.

"Gemini, present." he said in his ghostly voice

"Cancer, present," he was a Chinese man in his 30s. He has separate pockets in his uniform for daggers.

"Leo, present," he smiles and looks at his team. "Stand at ease. I am-" he was interrupted by a noisy car horn. A purple colored car drifts onto the parking lot.

"Now, do tell me that I do better 'drifts' are better than Dominic from Fast and Furious." Scorpio enters the building, boasting about himself. Libra, was sleepy but calls out his name before falling on the ground. He was immediately asleep.

"Not even close. Dominic is best-" Leo lands a punch on a drunk Scorpio who lands on glass masks, Pisces brought as a souvenir from China. They were expensive.

Scorpio was bleeding. he uses a small scythe attached to his belt with a strong rope. He swings it with an intention to kill. Right swing, left swings, but Leo dodges all and hits the former with a magnificent roundhouse kick. Scorpio gets smashed onto the wall, but again he jumps. Leo's guards were down. His neck was tied in those tight ropes. Leo struggles but grabs Scorpio hands and throws him on the floor. The blood lust in their eyes was intense. The dashed for one more round, but- "I guess it is time to stop." Capricorn's stick touches both the men.

"How dare you? You hurt little kids." Leo yells.

"Tch. Fear is a better influence. Your methods are no more effective. Little sacrifices are nothing."

"You bastard-

"STOP IT!" Every one of them was surprised. Capricorn rarely gets loud and angry. "YOU ARE ACTING LIKE KIDS!" Scorpio goes to his room. "We will take them as hostages. We don't intend to kill."

"Pisces, explain the plan." Leo exits the hall. Capricorn sighed. He complains that he is too old to stop these childish fights. He seems relaxed despite the situation between current leader and Leo, the ace of the team.

"-And he deserved the itching powder. It was easy. I just have to mix it in his clay." Harry laughed with his friends. "I was suspended, though."

"Did he ever find out?" Gwen asked.

"Nah! I changed school. I transferred to a lot many until finally, Dad put me in Prep School for three years. So you are coming to the party or not?"

" Harry, for the God's sake, NO! You asked this question for the 5th time! I will work on my bike, Gwen will be busy with her club. Only you and MJ are going."

"Come on! I am trying to get us out there. You can't spend your three years of high-school like this. These parties are damn important. Meet some nice gals, dance and if possible-"

"Don't-" Peter stopped him before he can show dirty gestures. "I found a nice store to get some parts for the bike."

"I like bikes. I could help, but Randy wants me to attend the party." MJ said. "I hate to see Liz and Sassy's faces."

The gang stops at a carnival. They paired into two partners: Harry and Gwen; MJ and Peter. The winners will be the team, who will find the treasure first. Harry stops by to eat Hot Dogs. "Hey Gwen, check it out." Gwen looks at the poster. "It seems yummilicious."

"It is not a word."

"My sis from another miss, chillax a bit. Try it."

Harry and Gwen sit on the bench, enjoying the Jumbo Sunday cup. Gwen gave up. "Where is all the stuff going?"

"My stomach.'

"It is still half of this thing left."

"It is nothing for me."

"They say right, never judge a book by its cover"

"Can I?"

"NO."

"But I have a good one."

"Why do you wanted both of them to go together?" Harry stopped eating.

"That is a detective's daughter for you." He licks the spoon. "I always wished for Peter and MJ to be a thing."

"I can understand. It was a shocker that Randy and MJ are dating."

"I guess nothing can be controlled."

"Yeah."

"Just like our fathers," Harry spoke with his mouth full.

"WHAT?"

"I know when I see one. You have daddy issues." Harry swallows a big byte. "BRAIN FREEZE!"

"My Dad is always busy. He blames himself for mom's death."

"Workaholic. My father spent every weekend with me. He was a great guy. Mom's death was a shocker, but at least, I had him. But one day, something changed. I don't know what? But it forced him to send to a Prep School. When I returned 2 weeks ago, he was changed. He is strict and cold, but the warmth in his hands was long gone."

"I guess, teens' life is not as complex..."

"...as the life of adults."

Harry and Gwen felt embarrassed. They were holding each other 's handed. Their faces were cherry red. They decided to tell no one about this. MJ was stuck among the crowd of crazy fans. She is a youtube celebrity, whose band: The Mary Janes, was a huge hit.

"I guess, I will help myself with a coffee-" Peter turned and hit a tall, spectacled man. "Sorry-"

"Peter!"

"D-D-D-Doctor Connors. It is an honor meeting you."

"Don't be formal. I am like your Uncle. You're with your friends?"

"Yes," he points out at the crowd. MJ's fans were not going to leave her alone for a while.

"She won't mind me borrowing you. Come with me."

"S-Sure."

They brought two cups of coffee. The chilling November was harsh. "You see. I changed few of your blood reports and DNA samples in the hospital."

Peter spits the coffee out. Peter realized, "You know about my powers."

"Yes, I know because that radioactive spider was my experiment. It's venom infected your sleeping X-Genes. That reaction instead of killing, allowed to saturate spider's DNA out of the venom and create a new breed of WBCs."

"Does that mean?"

"You are a human mutate. An unnatural mutant." Peter was falling into a pit. It was a big shock. "But you were lucky because if it infected your other organs- I could not predict the result."

"I am excited and horrified at the same time."

"Have you gained the control over the power?"

"Yes. I practiced wall-climbing, control my strength, but spider-senses are still a pain in the ass."

"Senses?" Peter caught the ball before it could hit Doctor's head.

"SORRY." The kid said. Peter gave him he ball back after suggesting to be careful.

"Amazing."

"Not-So-Amazing, when I wake up in the morning."

"Listen, it will be between us. The more people you tell, the more dangerous it will be."

"Dangerous!? Why?"

"It is a law of nature. Humans despise what they don't understand. It is the same case for Mutants." Peter nodded. "Do not worry, I am with you." Doctor Connors hands him his card. "It is the least I can do for my friends."

"PETER!?" MJ calls.

"Run to your friend. You don't the lady to wait."

"Here is the chocolate fudge cake you ordered." Grandma is a great help to Max. Grandma arrives at the hall and looks at the preparations. "Will it work?"

"Of Course, Grandma. It's my work." Max proudly says.

"Run to your room and get ready."

"Okay."

Max wore his favorite black shirt with blue jeans and a red tie. His parents will arrive in 5 minutes. Lights were off. He could not see his Grandma on the couch. "It will be there best anniversary present." Grandma did not need lights to see that Max was giving his biggest smile. He told his parents that, he and Grandma were out.

Doors open. Mr. and Mrs. Dillon's favorite romantic song played on the stereo, lights decorates the room and in the center, a portrait illuminates. It was his first drawing of himself, his parents and Grandma.

"Happy Anniversary!"

His parents were happy and upset. Grandma starts to cry. Max was confused. Max's reaction was blank after he heard, "We are getting a divorce."
