~* A Call from a Vulture *~
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

As Peter walked towards home, he couldn't stop thinking about the note that he clutched in his pocket. His life for saving Mary Jane's. He would certainly do that for her. Then; though, there was his Aunt May. He couldn't just leave her alone without any family. She didn't even have Uncle Ben anymore.
* Why am I always faced with these things . . . these problems? * He wondered what things would be like if Uncle Ben hadn't died. * What if I had stopped that robber when I had the chance? I probably wouldn't be crime fighting. I would be considered a sideshow freak. Wait a minute, I am almost that now, thanks to Mr. Jameson and his distrust of Spider - Man.* Peter sighed. He was at the door of his apartment.
"Great. Just great. I forgot my keys." Peter walked out of his apartment building slowly. He went into the ally next to it and grabbed onto the wall. When he got to the top, he jumped form the roof onto his balcony below. Opening the door, he almost fell into bed. He hadn't realized how tired he was. He took a quick look at his bedside clock - midnight. He couldn't help but just fall asleep.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
" Mary Jane! Where are you! " A cackling followed. Peter ran up some crystal steps. As he climbed, he didn't notice a fake step in the staircase. He fell through it. A hot wind was going through his hair whipping it. He fell with a thud onto a rooftop. The building that he was on was a skyscraper, it was the only one around him in sight. Sand was on the ground for as far as the eye could perceive in the hot, desert - like terrain.
*Should I try to go down or stay? . . . I'm going! I have to find MJ* Peter jumped down the side of the building. It was burning, blazing hot. Peter lost his grip and fell into the sand head first. It was like swimming through very coarse water. The sand blinded him so that he couldn't see his hands in front of his face. He swam through it for what seemed like hours.
Finally, a few minutes later, he felt something. It was very cold and slimy. It had scales - whatever it was. Then, all of a sudden, an eye opened.
This wasn't an ordinary eye - it was enormously huge! The creature that it belonged to squirmed a bit and then blinked. This blink was definitely not normal. First, it blinked normally, but not normally, there were two sets of lids instead of one. Then, it blinked sideways. There was a slight fire of rage in its eye. It was angry . . . very angry. It rampaged out of its sandy den, Peter following it with a web - line. He was flying through the air, rocketing about as the giant worm beast thrashed. As Peter was being whipped around, he noticed another building. A quick web-line was shot out and hit the building with a smack.

Peter woke up. His forehead was drenched in sweat. It was morning. Peter looked at his clock. *Ten o'clock! I'm going to be late for work!* Peter jumped out of bed, took a quick shower, grabbed his camera, and left.

"Late for work again, Parker? What do you do . . . go to Egypt and back in one night?" J. Jonah Jameson yelled.
"I'm sorry Mr. Jameson. I had a rough night. I couldn't sleep and when I finally did . . ."
"Well you are going to have an even worse day if you don't bring me any pictures." Jameson waved Peter off.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
*No festivals or anything today. Great. I guess I'll just have to take my default pictures.* Default, that was all Spider - Man pictures were to Jameson. Peter got changed on a building and swung off.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
As Spidey swung, he noticed a small convention on the ground. *Funny, the newspaper said that there wouldn't be anything going on today. I should go and check it out.* Swinging down from the heights above, Spider - Man landed on a building. He tentatively thought about what he should do because of the warning that was buzzing in his head.
*I guess I'll check it out first and then crash the party later.* Spidey started to swing down, but something caught his eye in the east. It was the Vulture flying at top speed. Figuring that he should deal with Vulture first, he followed him.
"Hey Vulture! Where are you going in such a rush?"
"Leave me alone Spider - Man." Spider - Man being very persistent, still followed Vulture. "Stop following me Spider - Man. Where I go is none of your concern."
"Actually, it is if you are about to hurt someone or steal something. Maybe old age has gotten to you, but I am a super-hero. Saving people is what I do. It's like my job." Vulture stopped in mid-air. The force of Spider - Man's swing caused him to go right past Vulture and land on a building.
Vulture snickered at him. "You may be younger, but with old age comes wisdom. You can never out-smart me Spider - Man." Spidey knew that he couldn't catch up to him so he threw a spider - tracer. It landed and latched on between is feathers.
"I'll deal with you later." Spider - Man said as he made his way back to his camera to retrieve his pictures for Jonah.

Peter walked down the street. He was deciding over which photo he should pick to give to Jonah. He decided on one of him shooting webs and another of him chasing Vulture. He then made his way to the Daily Bugle.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
"I don't know why we have to do this kind of stuff just to lure out Spider - Man." Shocker said to Vulture as they went into the headquarters.
"I'm just doing it because I was promised a lab to do my research work in." They reached the doors of the secret hideout and spoke the password to get in: Sting Ray.
"Come in Vulture, Shocker. So, Vulture, how did it go?", said a voice behind the shadows.
"Fine. He stuck a tracer on me though."
"Is it still working?"
"No, do you think that I'm that stupid? I turned it off a while back. I still don't know how it exactly works, though."
"That's fine. We can use it to our advantage. Hydro-Man, is Miss Watson comfortable?"
"Very.", Hydro - Man replied.
"Good, good. It is time to set part two of my plan into motion."

Peter rounded through the door of Jameson's office. Hopefully Jameson would use his pictures. As Peter walked in, Jameson yelled, "Parker, where have you been all day?"
"Taking pictures, Mr. Jameson. Here they are." Peter gave the pictures to Jameson. Jameson looked at them and made a few grunts. " Robby, put this one on page one. I'll have a story to go with it soon. It will go with the tip that I received earlier from someone labeled anonymous."
"What was the tip? Mind me asking, Mr. Jameson." "It was directed towards Spider - Man, that menace of our city. It said if he wanted to see his girlfriend, to go to the fish cannery on the wharf. If he doesn't come by nightfall then he will have to pay the ultimate price, the death of his girlfriend." Jameson finished reading off his notepad. Peter's eyes widened at the thought of Mary Jane and what might happen to her. Jameson continued, "We are going to try to get her back in a few hours through the J3 network."
Peter ran out of Jameson's office. He was like an overprotective panther to his hunt. He had to find Mary Jane.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Peter ran through the streets and as Spider - Man, web swung through the rooftops.
* I have to get to M J. I can't let anything happen to her.* Spider - Man reached the cannery within 10 minutes time. He landed in front of the cannery. He was nervous, boy was he nervous, but he knew that he needed to get to MJ, for her sake. He walked slowly towards the towering building over looking the ocean. It was like a giant ghost from a previous life. It's windows slightly gleamed in the twilight.
Many things were reeling through Spider - Man's head. What would happen if he couldn't save Mary Jane? What would happen to their friendship? It was his love for her that made all of this happen. First, it was the attacks of the Green Goblin. Then, now, who knows what?
* I stayed away from her. I tried to protect her. Now look at what I've done. Being close to her is what caused this.* Yet he still wanted to be with her. He wanted her, but he couldn't have her. Spider - Man, Peter Parker, slowly walked into the cannery to face the problem in his heart and in the cannery itself.
