Love consists in this, that two solitude's protect and touch and greet each other. - Rainer Maria Rilke

And that's what brought us up till now... I tried to stop Lucas, ever so hard, and when I thought I won, I lost either way... and the worst part of it is, I couldn't even keep a promise... I'm sorry, Elise, Mom, Micheal... and everybody else... that I failed.

Neon City - Time: 5:23 AM

"Any last words, Spider-Man?"Electro asked while he held Ken by the neck and electricity in his other hand.

"...No, I don't..." Ken said sadly while Electro was ready to deliver the blow, until water struck him as he yelled in pain, with Ken looking to see it was from Elise while she held a water pistol. "E-Elise..."

"Spider-Man never turns his back on the ones he loves, and neither will I." Elise said as Ken smiled at her and Electro stared at her in pure hate.

"You... bitch! I'll get you for this!" Electro yelled as he charged at her while electricity was covering him, until Ken pushed her to the side and took the hit, sending him flying through a wall and into the nearby electric station.

Ken tried to get up until Electro jumped next to him and began to punch him in the stomach, making Ken cough out blood while Electro began to punch him harshly in the face while electrocuting him until he threw him onto the ground as Ken lied down weakly and trying to get up a bit.

"What did I tell you?"Electro asked as he formed electricity in his hand and grabbed Ken by the neck again. "You're too weak to beat me... Even for somebody I want to get revenge on. Once I kill you off, I'll kill off that girl you love so much... but nice, ear piercing, and slowly." Once he said this, Ken stared at Electro in anger and hate while he regained his strength until he harshly punched Electro in the face, knocking him away as Ken dropped to the ground.

He got up quickly, grabbed Electro's legs and threw him into one of the poles knocking him down while Electro trying to get up, but Ken zipped toward him and kicked him as they both went through the now broken pole as Electro hit the wall harshly, making him slouch a bit until he got up. He was stopped by Ken as he started to punch him in the face harshly while Electro began to cough out blood, but as Ken was about punch him one last time, he looks at Electro for a bit, for it made him calm down, and stopped punching while he stood back, leaving Electro lying down against the wall and looking at Ken.

"I-is this it!? Is this all you've got?! You're weak King! If you want to end it, then KILL ME! Finish it! FINISH WHAT YOU'VE STARTED!" Electro yelled as Ken stared in silence.

"...No, I won't. If I did, it would be murder, and I don't go on the same path you do." Ken said as he looked at his hand. "I use the powers I was gifted with to protect the innocent and stop the ones who use the power for their own gains. I'm not like that...not anymore." He then looked at Electro. "A wise man told me... that with Great Power, comes Great Responsibility. His name... was George King; My father. And by his word, I won't kill unless I absolutely have to, not because I want to."

"...I see... well then..."Electro said as he got up and shot a bit of electricity at a car, starting it as it drove at Ken while he smiled. "SAY HELLO TO HIM FOR ME!"

"What?" Ken asked as he felt his skull tingle a bit and looked behind him to see the car, with him jumping over it quickly as the car continued to drive and hit Electro in the hips, destroying and crippling his lower body.

"A-ah..." Electro said quietly as his dark form and powers began to dissolve, returning him back to Lucas, and was knocked out by the sudden pain while Ken watched as he then looked down, knowing all of it was finally over. He shot a web at a building and swung to where he use to be, to which he saw Elise.

"Ken..." She said as she walked to him as they both ran and hugged each other in pure love.

"Are you ok? He didn't hurt you, right?" Ken asked as Elise shook her head.

"No, I'm fine. But... are you? You're pretty beat up." She said as Ken shrugged.

"Your safety means more than mine..." Ken said he looked at her face. "Thanks for saving me back there... I might have been a Spider Barbecue if you didn't save me."

"You saved me... Might have made us even." Elise said as Ken chuckled at that as they looked into their eyes and kissed each other lovingly for quite a bit, until they heard the police sirens coming closer, making them stop. "I need to go... and so should you."

"Yeah... I have a mother to be there for." Ken said until he was stopped by Elise.

"You... forgot this." She said as she took something out, Ken's dusty Spider-Man mask, to which he looked at it for a bit and took it.

"Thanks..." Ken said as he put on the mask as he climbed away, leaving Elise with the police cars approaching as John came out of one of them and ran to her.

"Elise!" John yelled as he hugged his daughter as she hugged back. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I am. Don't worry, Ken protected me." Elise said.

"Yeah, I'm sure he did." John said as he noticed Ken, as Spider-Man, watching them from the edge of the building until he began to climb up to the top and zipped away. "Thank you Ken King... Thank you."

King Apartment - Time: 5:40 AM

"...And in recent news, Lucas Wilson, known as Electro, has been arrested by the Neon City police once again and is now being sent to prison once again. However, Lucas would not have been stopped if not for the costume vigilante: Spider-Man, for if not for his bravery and assistance to Neon City, our entire city, and maybe the world would have been in ruins. Just a while ago, Captain John Jordan has given him an official apology today, and officially stated him as the protector of Neon City. We will keep you updated on later news, I'm Jennifer Logan, and this is NCN." Jennifer said as a commercial was put on while April was sitting on the couch as she sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness he's alright..." She said as she heard the door open and close behind her, to which made her look, making her eyes widen as she saw his forehead bleeding still and a a bit of blood on his right shoulder, to which she got up and looked at him. "Ken... are you ok?" He responded with a weak smile as she noticed he was holding a paper bag, put it on the table and took out some of the stuff in it, showing it was groceries while she looked at him in surprise.

"...I owed you groceries, didn't I?" Ken asked while keeping that weak and beat up smile as April hugged him tightly, to which he hugged back.
