Kenai´s POV: Becoming Spiderman is both good and bad.
On the good side of the story: I have fans, mostly kids, who cheer every time they see me, and they think I´m the coolest thing they had ever saw, also, Spiderman pictures are really good, I won a good money for them, since I´m the only one able to take pictures of myself.
But now the bad: Even if the Bugle pays me good for the pictures, it hates Spiderman, Jameson wants to do everything's in his power to attack Spiderman, titles like "Masked menace terrorizes New York" and "Spiderman and Vulture team up" It´s obvious I was trying to stop that freak! Not no mention, the police has decelerate an order of apprehension against me, I´m only trying to help them and this is how they pay me, every time a cop sees me, they open fire against me so I have to run away, is so unfair…
"When someone does the good he isn´t thinking in the reward, he´s thinking in what´s right" I know that Sitka would tell me something like that, and I know he´s right, and that I have to honor his memory, his death was my fault and this is the less I can do for him.
But I also have to make a balance, my work as Spiderman is affecting my notes like I mentioned before, and also, I have started to get bruises in my body, so I have to hide them otherwise people will start to suspect, besides, my new responsibility is affecting my relationship with my friends and brother, first, I don´t hang up with them like I did before, and second, Denahi and I, we have been distanced since Sitka´s death…
And I don´t see a way to get over it, maybe talk with Denahi, but I can´t find the time for doing it, thanks to my new duties.
Oh Sitka, how much I miss you, you will know the right thing to do, and I need your guidance…
Normal POV: Flint Marko, to his partner, Alexander O'Hirn come out of the bank with two gunshots in their hands, alongside with bags full of money, they shoot into the air as the people around them screamed and began running.
"This time we got it" said Flint "Our big hit!"
"Let´s get to the car before cops arrive!"
But before they could move, two strands of web attached into the gunshots, and then they were pulled away from their hands.
"Do you guys never learn your lesson?" above them Spiderman appeared, he had paste the gunshots to the banks wall. "Didn´t I put you in jail like two weeks ago?"
"Not again!" said Alexander as he screamed and threw the bag of money to the other side, then he tried to punch Spiderman but he dodges every one of his moves.
"Not even close" said Spiderman before kicking him in the stomach, that made Alexander back away, then Spiderman tied him to the bank´s wall with his spider web.
"Not again!" yelled Alexander, then Spiderman looked to Flint, who was trying to run away from the confrontation.
"No you´re not" said Spiderman as he shoot two strands of web at Flint´s legs, they reached them and then Spiderman pull him over, making Flint fall "Come with daddy"
Then Spiderman tied him right side by side with his partner.
"There you are" then he took the bags of money and deliver them back to the bank, leaving his classical note alongside the bags "There you are"
Then he jump from building to building, but before, he picked up his camera that he had hide in the building in front of the bank.
"New photos for the old J. J Jameson" he said before leave.
"Next time!" yelled Alexander "Next time I´m going to beat him!"
"Oh shut up!" said Flint.
…
Meanwhile at the hospital:
"Everything here is fine mom, even the food"
Dr. Felipe was watching Max, his mother have visited him for the third time in a week and they were talking on his room, while the doctor was watching them from the door.
"We seem very healthy for me" said one nurse, approaching him.
"He´s health, too much if you ask me?"
"What do you mean doctor?"
"Maybe from outside, he looks like a normal person, but deep inside him, I know there´s a great power, a great and dangerous one"
"But he isn´t have shown any symptoms of it, besides, we haven´t had had another accident in a long time, I think he´s ready to go"
"I prefer having him here, where I can keep an eye on him, at least while Stoick´s finds the cure"
Max mom said something and the two of them laughed.
Kenai´s POV: After stop Flint and Alexander, once again (God is even more difficult to get rid of them than rats) I swing until I arrive to the Bugle´s rooftop, then I change into my normal clothes there, next I go to the then floor, once I´m there, Jameson, as usual, is busy, but Koda´s also there so I can talk with him while I´m waiting.
"Hi Kenai!" he says "New Spiderman pictures?"
"Yes"
"Awesome! What was this time? The Vulture again?!"
"Sorry buddy, just two regular thieves'"
"Oh, too bad, I was hoping that he had fighter another supervillian like The Vulture, do you know what was of him?"
"No" since we fight, no one was seen The Vulture again, I guess the defeat was too much for his ego.
"Oh, okay, but it doesn't matter, is Spiderman, he´s awesome!"
Well, another perk of been Spiderman, it´s Koda, this kid is adorable (even if he can also be irritating at some point) and also, he´s a big fan of Spiderman, I admit it, every time I had the idea of give up this Spiderman think, I only have to remember Koda to hold on.
If I had a little brother I wish it will be like Koda.
"And Kenai, do you really think one day I can meet Spiderman?"
"Maybe someday Koda" if you only knew…
"That will be awesome! Also, how´s that autograph for me?"
"Well, I´m still working, Spiderman is really hard to catch, he´s fast"
"Yes, I only hope one day I´ll get it" Koda.
"I'm sure you will Koda" I said rubbing his hair, he laughs and then I hear Tuke and Rutt coming.
"Kenai!" said Rutt but his brother interrupts him.
"No, I´m going to tell him"
"No, Jameson told me to me!"
"No, to me!"
They start to push the other one until they´re very close to us.
"Jameson wants to see you!" they said in unison.
"Hey, you stole my word!"
"No, you´re the one who stole it!"
"No, you!"
While they start to argue between them, I move to Jameson office where he´s sitting behind his desk.
"Blaise, did you get me more pictures?" asks Jameson looking at me, right next to him there´s Tug.
"Hi Kenai"
"Hello Tug"
"Blaise I don´t pay you to talk with my editor, I pay you to bring me pictures of that spider threat"
"Mr. Jameson, with all respect, Spiderman is not a threat; I think he´s making an effort to make the city a better place"
"I pay you for pictures, not for opinions! Now, did you get me more pictures?"
"Yes sir" I said putting the pictures on his desk, he takes them and examines them.
"They´re all crap!" well that´s offensive I´m… "I´ll pay you the usual for them, Tug you have your first page!"
Wait, he says they´re crap and still buys them?
"Kenai what are you waiting for? Chinese New Year, go for more pictures!"
With that I leave the office to take my cash, when Tug´s reaches me before I can talk with Rutt or Tuke.
"Kenai wait!"
"What happened?"
"Listen, can I ask you something important?"
"Sure, shoot"
"Well, I see you get along with Koda right?"
"Em, yes, he´s a nice kid"
I look around to see Koda talking with some reporters and then the reports laugh at what he said.
"Good, so, I need someone to take care of him while I´m working, you see, Jameson understands my situation, but I know I can´t bring Koda here all the time"
"Why not?" I ask him "It´s seems everyone´s happy with him around"
"Yes, but this can´t long forever, Koda is a kid and he needs to be outside, not here in a publish office, so, can you do that for me Kenai? I´ve been looking for weeks for someone but I can´t find anyone"
"Well" I have to think about it, Koda is a good kid, but right now I have to concentrate with school, and I have this Spiderman business…
"Please Kenai, I´ll pay you if you want"
"Like a babysitter?"
"Yes, if you want it to called by that"
"Well Tug" more money wouldn´t do anything bad for us but…
"I´ll think about it Tug, I need time to… decide"
"It´s okay Kenai, but, keep it on mind please"
"I will Tug"
"Thanks Kenai"
After that I walk toward the exit but Koda follows me.
"Are you leaving Kenai?"
"Yes, I have places to go"
"Oh, okay, where you think you´ll see Spiderman again?"
"I don´t know Koda, that web head isn´t very…"
"Punctual?"
"If you said so"
"Still I want him to show again, so you can take him more pictures, I love your pictures Kenai"
"Thanks Koda, it means a lot for me"
Koda smiles.
"Anytime Kenai"
With that I enter to the elevator, but before I said goodbye to Koda with a smile, it´s true, I like this kid, and, winning money for spend time with Koda isn´t bad at all, but I´m not sure about it, I don´t think I can make a balance between all this, Koda, school and Spiderman.
I need time to think about it.
My cellphones starts to ring so I took it and answer it, it´s Nita.
"Hi"
"Hi, Kenai, are you busy?"
I was thinking in patrol the city tonight, but, maybe I can meet Nita and then go patrolling.
"No, why?"
"Well, can you meet me at The Coffee Shop, The Silver Spoon?"
"Sure, I´ll be there really soon, see you"
"Great! See you there, bye"
Well, maybe talk with a friend will help me to decide what to do…
Normal POV: Max was now having dinner at his room with Dr. Felipe, who was watching him eat.
"Mmm, congratulations to the chef" said Max with a smile.
"Excellent Max" said Felipe as he took the tray from Max´s bed "Now I´m going to give you a tranquilizer and some water and then you´ll go to sleep"
"Perfect Doctor" said Max
Felipe was walking with the tray in his hands to the exit when Max call him again.
"Em, Doctor"
"Yes Max?"
"I´ve been here for a long time Doctor, you know, and I like here, it´s a really nice place and the people is very kind with me, but, I miss my home and I need to fill my petition to Hamilton´s University, inscriptions are soon"
"Oh, well" said Felipe, he put the tray in a table that was right next to Max´s bed, the next thing he would have to do wasn´t going to be pretty "Max, you´ll have to wait a little longer"
"How longer?" asked Max with calm.
"Indefinitely" answered Felipe.
"But why?" Max "I´m a good patient, I don´t have cause any problems to anyone!"
Max said with a louder tone.
"Listen Max, you´re a good person, and we´re really glad that you decided to make our job easily by been an excellent patient, but, we can´t let you go"
"Why not!?" Max was getting angrier; he could feel his hopes and dreams falling to the ground.
"Because, you have a great power inside you, and we can´t let you go outside, we don´t know what consequences could that bring to us"
"So you keep me here because I could blow up the whole city?!" the lights of the entire hospital began to fail, they were turning off and then they were turn on, just to turn off again.
"No Max, I didn´t wanted to said that" said Felipe a little frightened because of the lights failure.
"I didn´t asked for this, I had plans before this happened!" Max tone of voice was getting stronger and deeper "I had plans, I wanted to go back collage, meet someone, had a family, two sons, not this!"
Max stands up from his bed and walked to the window, his hands were turned into fists and they began to shine blue neon as well as his eyes.
"Max please calm down" Felipe tried to calm him.
"Stoick!" he said looking at the Haddock's penthouse "He promises me a cure! And where is it?!"
"He´s still working on it Max, he just need time"
"No!" said Max when this words were pronounced, the whole power of the building disappeared.
Every single electric device was turned off, and then Max body began to shine blue neon.
"He doesn´t need time, what he needs is inspiration, and I´m going to give it to him!"
Then Max created an electric wave that destroyed the windows, and send the bed, the tables and Felipe to fly to the hallway, after the wave, the electricity of the hospital returned, Max looked at the city, there was no longer a window to stop him, so he jumped to the ground, before he reached it, he used his electric powers to stop his fall, then, he descended slowly into the ground, once he was there, all the cars alarms start to sound and lamp posts began to fail.
Everyone who was passing looked at Max, because of the shine of his eyes and hands, and because he was only wearing a hospital gown.
Not paying attention to the curios look, Max started to run in the direction of Haddock´s Industries.
…
Koda was playing with Tuke and Rutt when his uncle appeared with his red jacket on hands.
"Ready to go Koda?" asked Tug to his nephew.
"Yes" said Koda as Tug put the jacket on him "Goodbye Rutt and Tuke, see you tomorrow"
The two of them said Goodbye to him and then he and Tug began walking to the exit.
"So, Koda, remember we have talk about a babysitter for you?"
"Uncle, I´m no longer a baby"
"I know you aren´t Koda, but you know you can´t come here all the days Koda, you should be outside, playing with others"
"Well, it gets kind of boring be here without doing nothing", but, who´s going to be my babysitter?"
"I have talked with Kenai and he seems interested"
"Kenai?" Koda smiled "He´s a good guy uncle, and his photos of Spiderman are amazing"
"See? Wouldn´t you be more happy been outside, hanging up with Kenai?"
"Well, it would be fun" said Koda smiling "I would like to spend time with Kenai, if I had a big brother I wish that he would be like Kenai"
Tug smiled.
"Come, let´s go for a malt and then to home, what do you said about that?"
"Chocolate?" asked Koda looking at his uncle with a smile.
"Chocolate it will be" said Tug smiling.
Kenai´s POV: When I arrived to the coffee shop Nita was sitting on a table, outside of the building.
"Hello" I said taking a sit "Did you wait long?"
"Hi, no, don´t worry, I´ve just arrived" she said smiling "Miracle"
"What?"
"I see you outside of the school for once"
I smile.
"I´ve been busy"
"With?"
"Homework"
Nita laughs.
"Since when you make your homework?"
"Since forever"
We laugh and then we order two coffees.
"And also, I have a job"
"Oh yes, taking pictures to that spider guy right?"
"Spiderman, please"
"Okay, taking pictures of Spiderman?"
"Yes, hey, they pay is good, and kids love him"
"Well, a guy wearing spandex fighting bad guys, of course kids like him, and also, I think I like him also"
This is sounding good.
"Really? And why is that?"
"Remember the accident? The one you were at? By saving my life?"
"Yes"
"Well, this Vulture, or Mildew, cause it"
I knew I had heard his name before! He was the mad man at the exposition where the radioactive incident happened, and where I won my powers…
So, in a strange way, I have to thank The Vulture for creating Spiderman.
"You almost died in that accident Kenai, and, well, I know revenge isn´t well but I feel so good when I knew that someone kicked him on the ass"
"Yes, I think the streets are safer with him around, but, may people don´t think the same"
"Well, I honestly think that… he´s amazing"
That simple sentence has made my day.
"I think the same"
"Awesome" after that, I bring up the decision I have to take with Koda, she listen's me carefully, paying attention to all my words.
"So, what do you said?"
"To be honest, you should do it, for how you describe him that Koda seems like a really nice person, and, you love kids"
"Yes, but, I don´t know if I can find the way to slip my time between school, Koda and… other business"
"Other business?"
"Yes, you wouldn´t understand it"
"It has something to do with that bruise you had?" she asks.
Shit, I look at her, she´s serious, I should have found a better way to hide them, but she has realized on them.
"No, those one… Where a little reward for trying to take pictures to Spiderman, he´s too fast and one time, I had to climb to a post and fell down, there´s one"
"Really?"
"Yes, the stuff that dude do it´s very dangerous, one day he will kill himself"
My lie seems to convince her.
"Okay, sorry"
"For what?"
"I thought you were on... Dangerous business"
Well, you´re not so wrong.
"No, I´ll never go on that" I said "I swear"
"I believe you"
We both smile to the other one, then I´m about to say something else when my Spider sense starts to sound, something´s very powerful is coming.
"Kenai, Kenai, what happens?" Nita´s ask worried.
I stand up and took her from the arms.
"Come Nita, Here´s not a safe place."
"What?"
Big police vans and police cars appeared on the street and made a block with yellow advices, the police captain tells to all of us to evacuate the area as soon as we can, I don´t know exactly what´s happening, but I know something bad is coming, so I took Nita and run with her until we´re far away from the scene.
"Nita, go home now, I feel things are going to get ugly here"
"Kenai! Where are you going?!"
"I´m going back, there´s something I need to do"
"But…"
"Please! Trust me" I said the most serious I can.
She seems to doubt, but ends nodding with the head.
"Thank you, now go home or look a safe place!"
"Okay" with that I can go, I return running to the scene, I´m so glad that I decide to wear my suit under my normal clothes.
Normal POV: Tug and Koda were on the bus when it stopped and one police officer entered to the vehicle.
"Attention, attention everyone please, we need you to evacuate this vehicle, with calm, please, and this is an emergency protocol.
"What´s happening?" asked Koda, a little frightened.
"Don´t worries Koda, we´ll just need to follow the police instruction and everything's going to be fine"
"Okay" said Koda.
…
Max was running through the street when he arrived to the block that he police had made to stop him, a wall of yellow advices and behind them three police vans, in front, there was Doctor Felipe and Captain Jake.
"Max!" yelled the Doctor "Please, stop this"
"Stay away from me!" said Max as he stopped running.
"Please, we´re trying to help you" said Felipe.
"The only person who can help me is Stoick, and he refuses to it"
Before Felipe could answer, Captain Jake spoke.
"Listen Dillon, is the hospital or jail, what do you decide?"
Police officers started to surround Max, pointing at him with gunshots.
"You think you can hurt me?" asked Max "Just watch!"
Max created another electricity wave that made all the polices officers to jump over the air and made them hit with the first thing they found, even the advices fell to the ground.
"You had no idea of the power I had" said Max, now both Felipe and Jake were frightened, but the second one wasn´t going to show it.
"I´m not afraid" said walking one step in front.
Max looked at him amazed.
"Just let me go with Stoick please, I didn´t mean to… cause all this"
"Then you should have stayed in the hospital"
"No!" said Max "I don´t want to go back there, I want the cure!"
"You have to wait for that Max"
The amazed part of Max was no longer there, and the hate and rage returned to him.
"No, I don´t want to wait more!" he said lifting one arm, pointing at the captain "Stay out of my way!"
He was about to shoot to the Captain when someone yelled from above.
"Heads up!" Spiderman yelled before jumping from a rooftop and kicking Max before land on the ground, the hit made Max back away.
"Who did that?!" asked Max once he was recovered from the kick.
"Me" said Spiderman.
Max shoot electricity at him but Spiderman jumped before it could hit him, then he shoot two web balls to Max fists covering them, so Max couldn't shoot anymore.
"Now with that solve" said Spiderman, but Max burned the web and then shoot lighting to Spiderman chest, it hit him and send him to fly until the other side of the street.
Max smiled and was about to walk towards him when he felt pain on his arm, he screamed and looked to his attacker, it was Captain Jake who was pointing at him with the gun.
"Stay away from him!" he said, while Doctor Felipe had backed away from the fight.
"Or else what?" said Max, for one night on his life he felt free, powerful, indestructible, a security he never had before on his life, he was a God, the wound on his arm had already disappeared and the bullet meltdown on his arm "You can´t hurt me!"
"But I can" said someone else, before Max could turn around to see Spiderman, a car hit him and squeaked him.
Then Spiderman show up again, the logo of his chest was a little burned because of Electro´s attack, Max blow up the car and stand up, he looked at Spiderman with an angry look.
"Come on sparky, give me the best you got!"
Max screamed and launched himself against Spiderman but he dodge his attack, then Max shoot at him more lightings, so Spiderman jumped to one building's wall, then Electro kept shooting at him, blowing some windows and the cement, Spiderman also shoot him balls of web who hit Max on the entire body, Captain Jake watched the fight, Spiderman seemed to have the situation in order, so he would only take part if Spiderman started to have problems, the place, was a true war zone, all through the ground there was pieces of the buildings, cars and streets light that had fallen during the fight, not mention, a fire was growing.
Spiderman shoot two strands of web at Max feet's and pull him over, making fall, then he prisoner him with more web.
"Now calm down Electro, I don´t know what you want but I´m sure this isn´t the way to do it"
Max meltdown the web and stood up.
"Leave me alone!"
Said Max as he jumped over Spiderman, thanks to his electricity powers he was able to reached him, Max punched Spiderman several times in the stomach , and then throw him to the ground.
The pain Spiderman was feeling was almost indescribable because of the pain, smoke was coming out of his suit, he tried to stood up but Max attacked him once again, this time punching him on the back over and over again, sinking him on the ground, it seemed Max was going to win when Captain Jake started to shoot him again, Max backed away from the bullets and Spiderman saw his chance, he shoot one strand of web at a brick and then throw it to Max head, then he kicked him on the chest with his two feet, then punched him on the face making Max to back away, but the hit also affected Spiderman.
"Ouch!" he said moving his hand from upside down, his spider sense warn him about Max´s next move but it was too late, before he could react, Max punch him on the face sending him making him fall, then he shoot one lighting at Jake´s gun, this one exploit and make and hurt the captain hands, he screamed in pain.
Max smiled, then he looked at Spiderman, and with electric waves he lift him from the ground, Spiderman tried to release himself but it was useless, Max had him, he lashed Spiderman in the ground, and then to the wall and then to the ground again.
Then he got an idea, with more electric waves, the lifted two more lighting poles, and then, with one of them hit Spiderman and send him to the other side of the street, where the other pole was waiting him, then it hit him and send him back just to be hit by the pole again.
"Uh!" said Spiderman as he was hit every time.
"This is so fun" said Max, it seemed he was playing Ping-Pong, and Spiderman was the ball.
With one final hit, Max made one pole hit Spiderman on the back, in result, Spiderman was throw to the ground, his suit had a lot of tears, and it seemed he had more than one broken bone is his body, but he was still able to stand up.
"That´s the best you got?" asked Spiderman, using all his strength to still on two feet.
"Not even close!" said Electro smiling, he was about to attack Spiderman again when he felt tired, the shine of his body start to reduce , the battle with Spiderman had let him without forces "Ah! I need to recover!"
It was the perfect opportunity for Spiderman, but he was even more tired than Electro.
"That´s for now bug! But heard my words, next time we fight, I´ll had no mercy on you" said Max before going back to the ground, then he started to run, not in the direction to Haddocks Industries, he had no power left so it was useless to attack.
Spiderman watched Max run away, he lifted his hand, trying to shoot a web at him but soon he felt his bones screaming in pain, he had received the beating of his life, he looked around him it was a mess but at least no one seemed hurt, except for the Captain, his hand was bleeding, Spiderman approached him.
"Are you alright sir?" he asked him.
"Yes" said the Captain "At least better than you"
Spiderman couldn´t do anything about it, his look was horrible, too obvious about the beating.
"Yes, who was that guy?"
"Max Dillon, and I´m sure this isn´t the last we see of him"
"No, and next time I´ll be ready" Spiderman thought from himself.
…
On the abandoned factory, Mildew was checking the latest designs for his armor, when he heard that new reports mentioned Spiderman.
He looked to the television (stolen, of course) to see a tape of Spiderman fighting Max, just when he had his ass kicked by him, Mildew smiled as he saw Spiderman been beaten.
"Well, well, well" said Mildew with a malicious smile, it´s seem I´ve some company in this town" then he started to thought how he could use this in his favor…
