There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. - Buddha

Neon City - Downtown - Time: 3:29 PM

Lucas ran through a alleyway while he tried to catch his breath until he sat down on the edge, relaxing himself and started to rub his eyes a bit, to prevent crying.

"I-I can't believe this. Just... when did my life get so screwed up? I-I just wanted to get money to help my sister..." He said as he observed his body, seeing some of the veins on his right hand glowing bright blue in electricity as it went up to his right eye as it pulsed and sparks of electricity came out of his hand, only for him to close it so he can stop it, until he opened it again slowly, as he began to slowly concentrate it as electricity flowed into his hand in pure control until he saw a power box near him.

He got up as he put his hand near it as electricity began to surge into him as he absorbed it, seeing it being controlled in his hand and feeling no pain from it as he aimed his hand at a garbage can and let it go, shooting it as it made a huge dent in the can, which made Lucas smile darkly as he began to walk away.

"I'm gonna make that kid pay for not helping my sister... I'll find him and-" Lucas said as he stopped and began to think of the kid under the mask; Ken, when he was caught and how it was rather similar to the boy he encountered a while back; Spider-man, to which ma his eyes darkened. "So... the very same boy is hiding behind another mask huh? Well, there's no way you can escape from me now... Not after all you did to me... And the last name you'll ever remember is... Electro."

Meanwhile

Time: 5:17 PM

John drove and parked next to a large building with his own car as he got out alongside Ken and Elise.

"Well, here we are." John said as Elise walked next to him.

"Thanks Captain Jordan, I appreciate the ride." Ken said as he started to walk away, but was stopped by John.

"Actually, I was wondering if you would like to stay for dinner. After all, I never interacted with you very much, and you interest me enough to know about you." John said as Ken nodded.

"Sure, I'd love to. Just let me tell my mom that I'm ok and let her know I'm staying for dinner." Ken said as he took out his phone and started to talk in private with April. After he finished the call, he walked up to them. "I let her know."

"Good, now let's get you all settled." John said as they went inside as he unlocked the door to their apartment and went inside while Ken looked around, seeing it was a casual household, as John walked into the kitchen. "I'll get everything started, might take an hour or two."

"Man, this place looks nice." Ken commented at Elise nodded.

"Yeah, we moved here since... my mom died, I never met her before, but dad says she looked just like me when I was her age." Elise said as she looked down a bit, but was supported by Ken a bit.

"Don't think about it too much. All that matters is that you're here in a nice house... But let's not forget about Lucas still out there." He said as he looked outside. "And I just hope Spider-man can stop him." As he said this, Elise's eyes widened.

"That's right... I'll need to talk to him about all that. Maybe after dinner." She thought as she sighed a bit. "I hope so too, he maybe and outlaw but he might be our only chance."

"Yeah, probably. Anyway, let's just relax for now and worry about it later, we've all had a long day after all that happened." Ken said as Elise nodded as they sat on the couch and turned on the television, watching it.

Time: - 7:03 PM

Both of the teens watched the television until they heard some plates being put down on the table, in which they got up and walked into the kitchen, seeing a casserole with a roll on each of the three plates.

"Wow, looks great." Ken said as they all sat down and began to eat.

"So, Ken... King was it?" John asked as he drank his beverage.

"Yeah, that's right. The very same name of the guy Lucas murdered..." Ken said as John nodded seriously.

"I heard, his name was George, your own father, correct?" He asked as Ken nodded. "I apologize for your loss."

"It's fine. I'm over it now." Ken said as he ate a bit more.

"So, that aside, tell me about yourself. From what I heard from Elise, you interest me." John asked as they both looked at each other.

"About me huh?" Ken asked as he thought on how to explain. "Well... I'm the top of a few of my classes, some more than others. I'm the top of my Science, Math and Photography classes. Not much good at writing(Ironic isn't it?) and don't really care much for history all that much. I'm only seventeen years old, nearly eighteen, and I want to try to aim for being a photographer. I can always try the Daily Bugle to start it off if I wanted."

"I hear the company has good pay, it's a good way to start it off. Just be sure to get use to that guy J Jonah Jameson. I hear he's a real hot head." John said as he chuckled.

"With what I read on his papers, It's believable." Ken said as he got up. "Thanks for the dinner Mr Jordan, it's a pleasure that you did this for me."

"It's not a problem Ken, I wanted to. And by the way, call me John if you wish." He said as he smiled. with Ken nodding.

"I'll be sure to remember that." Ken said as he saw Elise get up.

"Hey Ken? Can we talk... in private?" She asked, in which Ken nodded in agreement.

"Sure." He said as they walked together while Elise led the way. "Where are we going?" She just ignored him as they both entered the elevator, leading them up to the top floor and walking to the very top of the building, seeing the bright lights shining from all the billboards, cars, street lights and buildings in the city and watched them for a bit, until Ken looked at her. "Ok, we're here. Did you bring me up here to talk or for sightseeing?" Elise then looked at him in anger.

"You didn't help people evacuate from the prison today." She said while Ken pretended to know what she was talking about.

"Of course I did. You just didn't see-" He tried to say, but was cut off.

"Don't lie to me. You know I don't like being lied to." Elise said as she got closer, making him step back. "Ok then, explain all this to me. Why were your OWN clothes in a bag, the costume you had in the bag about two weeks ago, AND why Spider-Man called me by my name. You're hiding something from all of us... I can see it."

"No I'm no-" Ken tried to say again.

"Ken King, I've known you since Elementary school, eight years. I KNOW when you're lying, don't think I do." Elise said as she got even closer, making him step back. "Everything related to Spider-Man just about points to you... I want to you tell me the truth, right now. I deserve it, we all do." Ken sighed in stress as he rubbed his forehead.

"She's right... there's no point in hiding it anymore. She's already hot on my trail." He thought as he took a deep breath, "Ok, I'll tell you everything. But if i do, you CAN'T tell anybody, understand?" Elise nodded in agreement.

"Ok... I agree to those terms." Elise said as Ken began to breath heavily.

"O-ok... w-well..." Ken said as he began to rub his head on how to word it. "I-I wish I could say it.. It's related to that pain in my neck weeks ago."

"That pain? Is that it?" Elise asked as Ken shook his head a bit.

"No, no, no, no, no. I-I-It's..." Ken tried to say, but growled a bit as he looked at the city for a bit. "...It's nothing."

"...Never mind." Elise said as she began to walk back at the door, which caught Ken's attention.

"W-wait!" Ken said, but she continued to walk away, until Ken thought of a way to show her, by shooting his web shooter under his sleeves at her back and pulled her back to him, making her stare at him in shock.

"W-w-what did you... a-are you really?" She asked as Ken lifted his shirt a bit, showing her a bit of his Spider-man suit.

"You said you deserved to know... and you do. I'm Spider-Man." He said as she looked at him in more surprise.

"I-I thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn't think you would actually be him!" Elise said in a state of shock.

"Well I have even more surprises for you." Ken said as he shot a straight web at a building while holding Elise around the waist. "Hang on tight!" He then ran while holding her and jumped off, making him start swinging from building from building as she yelled.

"WHOA! This is amazing! I had no idea you could do this!" Elise said as she held Ken close while they smiled and swung.

Time: - 7:38 PM

Both of the teens sat on top of the Neon City State building while Elise looked around in complete amazement.

"Wow Ken, this is amazing! I can't believe you can do this stuff everyday!" She said as they looked at each other.

"Yeah, crazy huh? I only got all of this by... that missing spider from Oscorp." Ken said as Elise listened. "That's how I got these powers. The spider was radioactive and I guess tampered with my DNA and gave me the power to..."

"...Do what a spider can, right?" She asked as Ken nodded.

"Yeah... the reason why I do what I do is to prevent people like Lucas to kill innocent people, like my dad. I never did it because to break the law but more for the people." He said.

"I see... that explains a lot. And now my dad is after you now because of that..." Elise said as Ken nodded again sadly.

"Yeah... i'm sorry, that I've now put you into this." He said as Elise put her hand on his cheek, making him look at her.

"Hey.. it's ok. We'll figure all of this out, I promise." She said as they both smiled.

As they smiled, they looked at each other's eyes for a while and unconsciously locked their lips, which surprised them, but quickly melted into the kiss for a bit until they broke off their kiss while they looked at each other's eyes once again.

"I-I...I didn't know... you felt that way." Elise said as the new couple hugged each other.

"Yeah... me too..." He said as he got up and held her by the waist again. "Come on, I gotta take you home. Don't want to worry your dad."

"Yeah..." She said as she held him by the neck. "Ready."

"Alright, here we go!" Ken said as he jumped and began to webswing back to her house while she yelled happily in thrill.

Time: - 8:02 PM

Ken landed back on the roof as he let go of Elise as she walked to the door and looked at him as she smiled.

"Goodnight... I love you." She said.

"I love you too, and good night." He said as she entered the building as he shot a web at a building and began to swing away while smiling, as a shadow watched him in the darkness.
