You see a bald-headed Hispanic male wearing a sleeveless shirt and gym pants, walking down a street with a duffel bag and no socks or shoes on. Tattoos cover over his arms and forehead as he glares at everyone while he walks past them.
A Caucasian woman with long blonde hair is seen looking at her phone in her bedroom, scrolling past websites, and stopping at an article that says at the start in big bold letters 'Scorpion released from The Slab'
The doorbell is heard, and a young girl yells that she'll get the door.
"Maryann Jane Watson, don't you open that door!" The blonde haired woman screamed.
You now see Maryann, a high schooler with red hair, and of Hispanic descent open the front door and ask who it is. Her eyes go big as she sees the man known as The Scorpion at the front door. The Scorpion drops his duffel bag, hold out his arms to her and speaks.
"Hey there baby girl, guess who's daddy just got released on parole for good behavior!" Scorpion says proudly. "Love what you've done with the hair, colored it red hmm?"

"Wait wait wait." An Asian high schooler boy with short black hair is seen saying on his cellphone, known as Ed, spinning around in a chair in front of his desktop computer in his room. "You're trying to tell me that MJ's dad is The Scorpion?"
"Right." A brown haired highschooler named Peter replies back over on the other end of the phone call.
"The Scorpion." Ed continues to say. "The same one that you a couple of times before? The same one that attempted to kill you!?"
"Yeah," Peter says, tilting his head back while sitting up on his bed. "That Scorpion."
"So are you going to the dinner or?" Ed asked.
"I wanna go cause MJ's mom makes the best food," Peter says. "I don't wanna go cause I'm having to be friendly with a sworn enemy of mines!"
"Her mom does make out of this world Spaghetti and beef stroganoff," Ed replies back. "He doesn't know you're Spiderman, the only people you told were me and..." Ed stops, going quiet, looking sad along with Peter.
" You and Gwen." Peter finished the sentence by saying. "Yeah."
"You shouldn't go." Ed starts to say. "He tried to kill you."
"I'm almost looking forward to it," Peter says.
The two have a moment of silence, before Ed says, "Hey, I mean, I'm cool with MJ, can I come?"
"I think my aunt asked for them to invite me, to get my mind off, you know..." Peter says. "Sorry man, maybe next time."
"If you go, tell me all about it, and bring me some leftovers, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee" Ed pleads, making Peter chuckle for just a moment.
"Okay, you got it, maybe no on the leftovers tho..." Peter starts saying. "That stuff even smells good from in the containers."
"If you don't me back some leftovers," Ed says in a playful tone. "Then I hope The scorpion does take you out. Or MJ for that matter."
"You should get the best friend of the year award," Peter says.
"I should," Ed replies. "And I would give a speech thanking everyone but you."
"Just for that, you get no sides," Peter says.
"You're the evil Spiderman, aren't you?" Ed asks.
"I gotta go," Peter says, shaking his head.
"Watch out if he grabs some silverware!" Ed yells, as Peter says bye and hangs up. Peter then lays down on the bed, and looks over, seeing the blonde-haired highschooler named Gwen, laying by him on the other side of the bed now.
"Don't go," Gwen says, pressing a hand to the side of Peter's face. "It's a bad idea and you know it. What if he figures it out that you're the same guy that got him locked up?"
"I know," Peter says, looking at her and talking softly. "But hey..maybe this way I'll get to see you again."
"Don't say stuff like that," Gwen says back to him with a sad look on her face.
"I miss you," Peter replies. "I can't keep doing this without you."
"You can," Gwen says to him as words of encouragement. "You can do this, I know you can."
"But I don't want to," Peter says, and after another moment of silence the two of them look at each other in the eyes, and the two of them hug.

The Scorpion is seen now talking at a dinner table, along with MJ, Peter, and his wife, the blonde haired woman named Madeleine Watson.
"So?" Scorpion asks Peter. "What are your intentions with my daughter? And do keep in mind I still have a high tech killer tail on me along with years of prison time."
"Dad!" MJ yells at him. "It's not like that, he's just a friend."
Peter slips down into his chair, closing his eyes at times, as you see thru his eyes a black veiled shadow floating past the table, and can hear Peters heartbeat real loud now. Peter is heard talking to himself now.
Guy is The Scorpion. Of course, my Spider Senses would be going off all the time tonight. Great.
"I mean, no offense Peter," MJ says with a bit of shyness.
"Well, that's good." Scorpion starts to say. "One less person on my hit list now!" Scorpion finished saying, laughing after.
"Honey, I thought you were reformed," Madeline said to Scorpion.
"I am." Scorpion replies back. "But Peter here is going right back on that list if he DOESN'T FINISH HIS MASHED POTATOES!" Scorpion says and then laughs after, offering him a breadstick.
MJ and Madeleine laugh a little, as Peter gives a nervous chuckle.
"Cmon, ask me." Scorpion starts to say to Peter. "I'm gonna whip it out right here, let you see how big it is."
"DAD!" MJ yells in embarrassment, as Madeline gasps and covers her eyes.
Scorpion looks over at Madeleine and says, "What.. you've seen it before, and I'm planning on you seeing it tonight chica." Scorpion says to her, blowing a kiss as a metal tail extends from above his butt, retracted inside a surgical gap there, and it pops out, piece by metal piece to hover over Scorpions head.
"It can go from laser blaster mode to stabbing mode." Scorpion boasts to Peter, as his tail coils to the side of Peter and with the end of the tail having a red, glowing circle, it goes straight to Peter's face, as if looking at him...questioning him...
"He was like this on our first date," Madeline says to Peter with a fondness on her face.
"Oh, oh, you gotta see this here!" Scorpion says to Peter. "Eyes closed, watch this!" Scorpion closed his eyes, placed a hand over them, and the tail then slithered back over Scorpions head, making a slender, pointed spike extend from out the red glowing iris. Scorpion placed his other hand down on the dinner table, spread his fingers, and grinned.
"How do you get it to move like that?" MJ asked with amazement.
"I just think it, and it does it." Scorpion starts to say as the tail quickly jabs the spike between the gaps of Scorpions fingers on the table, never missing, and doing it in seconds, over and over again. "Also it has a mind of its own, artificial intelligence learning or something like that the Oscorp people said."
Peter dropped his fork to the table with a loud clang when he heard that. "Oscorp made that?" Peter asked. "Why?"
"They were doing that whole create or regrow limbs for the better of people stuff, paid me to be a test subject, fused it to my tailbone, and then Spiderman stopped me," Scorpion says, the tail jabbing harder into the table this time after he mentioned the name Spiderman.
"You mean Spiderman stopped you after you committed crimes," Peter says rudely.
Scorpions tail stopped moving, and Scorpion puts his hand down from over his eyes and looks at Peter with hatred.
MJ kicks Peter in his shins under the table, giving him a 'stop it' look.
"So." Madeline starts to say. "Who wants dessert? Can I get some help in the kitchen with getting it from the oven?" Madeline asks, standing up now, and looking over at Scorpion. Scorpion dabs his mouth with a napkin, shoots Peter a hateful glance, and then follows Madeline to the kitchen to help.
MJ leans over to Peter and whispers that her dad is a good man now, and he needs to stop bringing up the past.
"Is he MJ?" Peter starts to say. "Is he really, or is that just want you want to believe?"
"When did you become soo cynical?" MJ asks him in disgust. "People can change Peter."
"People hardly do," Peter says in response.
"That's my dad." MJ starts to say. "Yeah, he did some pretty bad stuff but he was just trying to raise me and be with my mom. You don't know him like I do. You just read the stories like everyone else and judge the guy as some crazed villain. He's also a dad that did whatever he had to do to take care of me and my mom, and sometimes, yeah, it was bad ways of going about it. But he did tho, that was more important for him than jail time or anything else, loving and providing for us."
"He stole from people. He hurt people. He tried to kill Spiderman." Peter says to her looking angry himself now. "Do you really think you can justify all that, and this whole skit that he's changed, yeah, sure he did. Lets really trust him with a killing weapon attached to his butt cause oh, that sooo worked out last time he had it."
"He's not like that anymore!" MJ raise her voice saying. "Why can't you believe me?"
"Cause he just came back into your life yesterday!" Peter says, raising his voice a little as well now. "You're smarter than this MJ, one of the smartest people I know in school, you're just holding on to the memories of how he used to be, and not seeing how he is, and became."
"You wanna talk about holding onto the past!?" MJ yells now at Peter, pointing a finger to him. "At least I'm still not pining over my dead girlfriend!"
"I think it's time you left Peter," Scorpion says, walking back into the room holding a pan in his towel wrapped hands.
"Yeah, it's getting pretty late, I should go," Peter says, avoiding eye contact with everyone as he stands up, thanks everyone for the meal, and goes to the front door to let himself out.
MJ just looks down at the table with anger and a little regret on her face.
Madeline walks over and stands to the side of MJ, and MJ rests her head on the side of her mom, and puffs.
"I gotta go out after this." Scorpion starts saying as he sets the pan down on the table.
"You're coming back right?" MJ asks with concern.
"Baby girl..." Scorpion says. "For you, I'll always come back. You and your mom. I will always come back to you two. Not a day went by in that cell that I didn't think about being back home and starting back over as a family. Not one day."
MJ smiled, looks up at her mom, and sees her looking down at her, smiling as well.
"Okay," MJ says a bit more cheerful, looking back over at Scorpion. "I believe you."

I'm not sure if I'm mad at her for believing him, or myself for believing her. Spiderman says to himself, swinging from rooftops, and crawling up walls at night. He follows Scorpion who walks on the sidewalk below.
Scorpion goes to a parking garage, looking around, and walks up to a sports car. His tail lifts up from behind and extends out its skinny spike. The tail swirls over to the door lock on the driver seat side, and jiggles the spike inside, unlocking it. Scorpion gets inside, as his tail locks back up to his backside with smaller latches.
Spiderman mentally says to himself. Spiderman then jumps down from the parking garage ceiling and lands behind the car as Scorpion starts it up. Scorpion sees him in his rearview mirror and starts cussing in Spanish as he puts the shift in reverse and steps on the gas pedal.
The car backs up, and Spiderman jumps out the way as the back of it slams into the hood of another car, this one being an older model patchworked vehicle. The impact was soo much, it opens the driver seat door wide open, swinging a little on its hinges. Scorpion swirls the car to the left, and then switch gears to go forward, and speeds out the parking garage.
Spiderman looks at the door swinging car. He runs to the car, and starts pulling out wires from the bottom steering wheel dashboard, tooling around with them as he hears a woman's voice scream the name "Peter!"
Spiderman looks over at the front passenger seat and sees a blonde haired high schooler female wearing glasses, known as Gwen sitting in it.
"You're stealing a car now?" Gwen asked.
"To stop MJ's dad, kinda the greater good here," Spiderman says back to her, as he starts the engine, and then slams the door close.
"You know how to hotwire a car?" She asks him in surprise.
"I can also put together and disassemble nuclear fusion weaponry, but that's for another story," Spiderman says back to her, and then leans over to kiss her with his mask on. She leans to him, and they both give a quick peck on the lips.
"Buckle up," Spiderman says, putting the gear in drive, and Gwen nods in silence, looking scared, as Spiderman buckles her in, then himself, and press his foot down to the gas pedal.
Spiderman speeds out in his blue car, behind Scorpion in his red car. Scorpion takes a hard red turn, laughing as he does, driving past upcoming cars in his turn lane. Spiderman does the same, causing the same cars to crash into each other, and he yells out "Spider Sorry!"
"You wanna play Spiderman?" Scorpion asks himself in the car. "Let's play amigo!" he finished saying, yelling at the top of his lungs as he switches gears, and puts the car in reverse. The red car goes back, crashing into a car behind him, and making that car back into the car behind that one. Spiderman speeds past Scorpion, looking back at him, and pressing his foot down on the brakes. The blue car stops after a moment, as Scorpion switch gears, and drives forward, taking a left to the chatter of angry people.
"Oh go scorpion yourself!" Scorpion yells out the window at them and accelerates the car more. Spiderman turns the blue car in a half circle, then switch gears, goes backward, switch another gear, and goes forward, turning the steering wheel to move the car back in the same direction behind Scorpion. Spiderman accelerates as well with Gwen looking over at him looking scared.
"You're scaring me, Peter..." Gwen says.
"I'm sorry," Spiderman replies back.
"I..kinda like it," Gwen says to him with an excited look on her face now.
Spiderman lifts up the bottom of his mask, showing his lips, and smirks before putting the mask back down.
Awesome
The blue car stays on the trail of the red one with the sound of a revved-up engine, constant squealing of the brakes, as they U-turn, Sideswipe, and drive past red traffic lights and other cars. The hubcaps pop out and roll off of the red car after driving on the sidewalk a little, and a tire pops out from the blue car.
"We gotta stop him before more people get hurt!" Gwen says to Spiderman.
Spiderman takes his free hand and puts it out the driver seat window, spraying out a web line from his wrist, and sticks it to the back of the red car. Spiderman pulls his hand back inside before it gets slammed by an upcoming mailbox, and takes a hard right, doing a doughnut in the process. The webline pulls the back piece of the red car to the street, creating sparks, and making Scorpions car tilt down and bust out all the tires, one by one.
Incoming cars slam into the blue car as Spiderman yells. Gwen screams and the blue car gets slammed against another car in front of it by three other vehicles, creating a pileup. The blue car flips over from the impact, and Spiderman unbuckles himself while hanging to the side. He climbs out the back window, after punching thru the glass first.
Spiderman then puts out a webline from his right wrist, and swings to a nearby building rooftop, glancing down below for Scorpion. He sees Scorpion go up to a storage unit building, and his tail raises up to shoot out a laser beam from its red iris eye. The laser beam slices thru the metal gates and Scorpion runs up to the front doors, and then around in the building. Spiderman swings over the gates and drops down below in front of the door, and runs inside past numbered storage units. He sees Scorpion run down a right corner past the maze of storage units in a panic.
Gotchya you son of a... Spiderman says inside his mind, running even faster now behind him.

Spiderman stops running, seeing a black veil float across his eyes, and the sound of his heartbeat is heard loudly. Spiderman holds his head with both hands, kneeling over from the pain.
Throbbing headache... Spider sense trying to..
Scorpions tail swings over Spiderman's head from where he just kneeled from, spike extended out, slashing thru the metal door of the storage unit behind Spiderman. Spiderman glanced back, seeing the damage.
The tail lunges back, and then forward, stabbing into the ground a second after Spiderman flips out the way. The tail slithers back, and Scorpion starts talking, feet away.
"You think I'm gonna let you take me back to prison? If I get rid of you, then I get rid of all evidence."
"Good point," Spiderman says snarkily.
The tail raises back up and Spiderman jumps up to hang upside down on the ceiling. The spike retracts and the red eye iris starts glowing, aiming at Spiderman. A black veil floats past the tail, and Spiderman jumps to another side of the wall, as the tail shoots out a laser beam. Spiderman keeps jumping out the way with the tail shooting behind him, and then after moments, does continuous blasting. A beam streams at Spiderman's neck, trying to cut it clean off, but Spiderman slides under the beam on his knees. The beam does a half circle, then streams behind him now.
Spiderman jumps up and grabs onto an overhead lamp over a storage unit door. He swings himself up, then backflips over the laser beam behind him. The laser beam follows behind him as he jumps down to the ground, and then sticks to the wall to the right of him. He then jumps over the laser beam, as it moves up right after to cut into him vertically. Spiderman places his hands behind his back, and spray out web lines from both wrist, and they stick to the wall feet away, behind him. Spiderman lifts up his legs and gets pulled back to the wall by his web lines as the laser beam follows behind. He lifts up a leg, then twist his body out the way as the beam almost cut into his feet, and then his back.
"Stay still gringo!" Scorpion yells at him.
"Not gonna happen," Spiderman says to himself. He then jumps back down to land on both feet and runs over to Scorpion. The tail slithers back and goes to spike mode. It lunges at Spiderman, just as Spiderman puts out his right hand and sprays webbing from out his right wrist at Scorpion. The web covers over Scorpions left leg, and Spiderman slides down on his back, and slides past Scorpion, springing up to the ceiling again as the tail follows behind.
"Why you do it?" Spiderman asks him. "Stealing a car, really? that's what gives you a supervillain threat level?"
"I just got out of prison, cause YOU put me there!" Scorpion says to him angrily as the tail jabs the spike into the ceiling where Spiderman was just at, Spiderman still spraying web at Scorpion and sliding down the tail to jump off it and past Scorpion, with webbing now at and covering his chest.
"It's not like anyone is dying to hire a convict!" Scorpion finished saying.
"You put yourself in that situation," Spiderman says to him. "So you gotta deal with it."
"You always see it from one side!" Scorpion says. "When you gotta put food on the table, it doesn't matter if you're good or bad, all that matters is that you don't starve to death!"
"Then get a job," Spiderman says rudely, running around in a circle, still spraying webbing at Scorpion.
"I can't man!" "I just said...FORGET YOU MAN!" Scorpion yells. "Freaking kill you!"
His tail switched from spike to laser mode in an instant and kept doing so as Spiderman drops back to the ground and stands in front of Scorpion. Scorpion punches at him, and Spiderman sidesteps out the way. Scorpion slams his tail down on Spiderman's head, making it trap Spiderman underneath it as Spiderman drops down to the floor, and the metal tail lays on top of Spiderman's chest now.
"You think you soo freaking smart, now look at yer!" Scorpion says, then chuckles. "Scorpion for life es-a."
Spiderman presses his hands to the tail as it starts to slither up over him, going to spike mode, and sizing it up to puncture his forehead. Webbing comes back out from Spiderman's wrist, and then he attaches the weblines to the tail and sticks it to the floor to the right of him.
Spiderman then rolls out the way to the left, as the tail stabs the floor from where he just rolled to. The webbing then pulls the tail to the right side, a hard right turn pull. It makes Scorpion unbalanced, and flips up in midair, already covered in webbing, the flip has him rotate in the web, constricting it around him now, binding him. Scorpion lands hard to the ground, headfirst, as if in a web cocoon, knocking him out cold. Spiderman jumps up to the top of a wall, hanging from the side of it, and webs up the tail with layers and layers of webbing as it stays in place from the previous weblines.
Spiderman then huffs and puffs, looking down at the tail that lets out a whirling mechanical sound, as if dying.
Spiderman then drops to the ground, laying on his back, and looks up at the ceiling, exhausted, wheezing, and then looks over at the tail, whose red iris circular light goes dim.
"Respect," Spiderman says to it, still catching his breath, and the light on the tail blinks twice as if to say something, and then goes out.

MJ is now seen in her room, sitting up in her bed wearing pajamas, reading a book. Spiderman knocks on her window and she looks over and gets up in a startle.
She opens the window and says, "Spiderman!?"
"Hello neighborhood person," Spiderman says, changing his voice to sound deeper.
"Oh my gosh, are you a stalker?! Are you stalking me!" MJ asks in shock.
"No no no," Spiderman says. "I need to take you to your dad, he was asking for you."
"What?" MJ starts to ask. "Why would he.. what.."
"I'll answer on the way, just. I need you to trust me." Spiderman says, putting out a hand to her, and helps her out the window to wrap her arms around his neck, and lay on his back.
"How did you know I would trust you?" MJ asks him in suspicion.
"You seem like someone I can trust," Spiderman says.
MJ smiles.
"Hey. watch those hands." MJ starts to say. "I don't care if you are Spiderman, you're not getting lucky with ME tonight."
"Yes, Ma'am," Spiderman says, placing out his hands in front of him, and spraying weblines from his wrists to a tree branch feet away.
"I said tonight," MJ says.
"What?" Spiderman asks, swinging them to to the tree, then webline to a building rooftop nearby.
"You took it the wrong way pervert," MJ says.
"What?!" Spiderman asks, sounding confused as they swing away, and MJ giggles.
The two arrive at the storage unit building, with MJ seeing Scorpion hanging from the ceiling with a webline, along with his tail.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!" MJ screams at Spiderman.
"No, he stole a car." Spiderman starts to say. "He then tried to kill me after I chased him down here and.."
"You're lying," MJ says angrily. "My dad wouldn't have done this, you set him up you sick..."
"No baby girl." Scorpion interrupts her by saying, waking up with a groggy look. "I did."
"You said you went straight!" MJ yells at him now. "You told me that you went good!"
"It's not soo black and white Maryann." Scorpion starts to say sadly. "I did it for you and your mom." I'm trying to make this right."
MJ looks away, looking in disbelief. Spiderman walks over to her, and she steps back, putting a hand up and yelling, "Don't touch me!"
"Maryann," Scorpion says to her. "We can make this right." "Just let me go and.."
"So you can kill me off?" Spiderman interrupts him this time by saying. "Or rob more ppl and when they get in your way too, you kill them?"
"Why did you show me this?" MJ asked Spiderman.
"I wanted you to know the truth, and not anymore lies," Spiderman says to her.
MJ stares at Spiderman, and starts saying with tears, "Why couldn't you just let me keep believing in them?"
No one says a word, as MJ screams, then pulls out her cellphone fro her pajama pants left the pocket, dials a few numbers, and place the phone up to her ear.
"Yes, I would like to report a crime." MJ starts saying. "My father needs to go back to jail, that's what I'm trying to report," MJ says, crying while still talking on the phone.
You now see Peter in his room, laying on his bed, with Gwen asleep laying next to him, talking to himself in his mind now while he looks up at the ceiling.
After that, MJ took some days off to herself. I tried talking to her, but she keeps saying she's not ready. I get that. I'm not ready to open up either after Gwen's death. I told her tho that you can't pick your parents, or always get their love just cause they are. Still, dealing with your dad being a supervillain is a lot to take in. I just hope I never have another friend that has to go thru what she's going thru. Ever.
You now see an Asian man walk thru the front door of a house and yell, "The C.E.O. of Oscorp is now home!" He drops his name badge onto a table by the front door. The name badge has a picture of him smiling, and the words ' Oscorp C.E. Li Level 26 Access'
Ed runs over to him, and the two hug.
"Hey, dad. How was work?" Ed asks the man with a happy look on his face.
The screen fades to black.
