Chapter X
Global Justice
Location: Bueno Nacho, Middleton, just after School
Peter Parker had managed to slip out of cheer practice, and quickly change into his Spider-Man costume just in the nick of time.
"Man," Spider-Man said, as he swung toward Beuno Nacho, "why can't I ever catch a break, I mean teen girl, finds out my secret and BAM I find myself on a lab table, waiting to be dissected, or worse have my DNA used for some secret government experiment."
Beuno Nacho was the usual hangout for all of Middleton's teenagers, a small restraint with shaped like a large sombrero, and home to the infamous Nacho, invented by non other then Ron Stoppable.
Spidey landed in Beuno's parking lot, much to the surprise of the cliques, with most of the girls drooling over him. Suddenly he felt a small tug on his pant leg, and looked down to see a little boy, with a broken arm, and a small cuddle buddy in the other.
"Excuse me," the boy said, "Mr. Spider-Man, will you sign my Rabbit-Cat." Spider-Man was shocked that he was known to Middleton's population, so with out asking, he pulled a pen out of his belt, and signed the small toy. Happy as ever the boy ran off to tell his friends what had happened. Beneath his mask Spider-Man smiled a smile he hadn't used since that horrible night so long ago. Regaining his composure Spider-Man made his way into the restraint.
Kim and Ron were sitting at their favorite booth, waiting for Peter to arrive. Ron was speechless at what Kim had just told him.
"No way," Ron shouted.
"Ron keep it down." Kim said, waving her hand.
"You mean," Ron said whispering, "that Peter Parker is the Human Spider?"
"I think he now calls himself Spider-Man," Kim replied.
"Yes but why did he?" Ron suddenly asked,
"Why don't you ask him yourself," Kim said, "he's right over there." The two friends looked over at the door, as Spider-Man entered. Ron was speechless, at the thought of meeting the greatest wrestler of all time.
Spider-Man made his way through the crowd of getty school girls, who were trying to get him to sit with them, and some of them awakening the memory of that night on the bridge, and the laughter of a mad man, and the cries of the one woman he loved other then Mary Jane.
"Bout time you showed up," Kim said, "I thought I would have to call the press and let all know."
"I'm here ain't I," Spider-Man said, "now what do you want to keep your mouth shut about who I really am."
"Simple," Kim said, as she switched her Kimunicater on, "but let's get everyone here first." The image of Wade, the boy who had identified him appeared on the screen.
"Hay Kim, Ron," Wade said, as his voice turned cynical, "Peter."
"Very funny," Spider-Man said, "now what do you want?"
"To ask you some questions before I turn you in," Kim said. Kim was about to ask the first question when Ron suddenly cut in.
"So how'd you get your powers?" Ron asked.
"I was bitten by a spider," Spider-Man replied, "and at times I wish I hadn't been."
"A spider," Kim said, "that's how you got your powers?"
"An irradiated spider," Spider-Man replied.
"Oh," Kim added, "and why are you here, other then to interview me?"
"That's all Kim," Spider-Man said, "Doc Ock being here was just bad luck, though I do find it odd that he'd attack your house."
"So why did you leave the GWA?" Ron asked.
"My Uncle," Spider-Man replied, a tear forming under his mask, as the memory of that horrible night began coming back.
"What about your Uncle?" Kim asked.
"He was murdered," Spidey replied, trying to hold back his tears, "and I blame myself for it."
"Why?" Kim said, suddenly finding herself understanding why.
"I was showboating," Spider-Man answered, "using my powers to earn fame and money, and to get back at all the people who used to put me down. A thief ran past me, and they wanted me to stop him."
"And did you," Ron said.
"No," Spidey replied, "I didn't want to be bothered, I still remember what I said to that guard, "I'm through being pushed around, from now on I look out for number 1 and that means ME." a few weeks later a burglar murdered my Uncle Ben, and when I found him I saw that it was the same man that I had failed to stop at the GWA." Kim and Ron were speechless, as Spider-Man began to break down, they had never seen a superhero cry before, "Which is why I do what I do, I owe it to Uncle Ben to use my powers to help those who have no help or hope, because time and again I've learned the meaning of my Uncle's saying "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Wow," Kim said, "I never knew, and the Daly Bugle,"
"JJ doesn't understand, and I don't think he ever will." Spider-Man replied
"Man that's deep," Wade said, as he began typing something on his computer,
"What are you doing Wade?" Spider-Man asked
"Deleating your DNA profile," Wade said, "your secret will never be known to anyone outside this table."
"Not exactly," Spider-Man replied, "only my Aunt, and my girlfriend Mary Jane know." Kim was shocked and horrified.
"You have a girlfriend," Kim said, "but with your luck she's not your first." Spider-Man didn't answer, as the memory of 10 years ago came back, the memory of that night on the bridge, Gwen's lifeless body in his arms, the anger and range building up inside him, and his undying hatred of the man who caused it, the Green Goblin.
"No," Spider-Man replied, getting up, "there was another, her name was Gwen Stacy, but she died, "a long time ago."
"Sorry to hear that," Kim said, as she got up, followed by Ron, "how."
"Accident," Spidey replied, "she broke her neck, and died instantly." He didn't want the truth about this one getting out. The group made their way to the door, when suddenly the floor dropped out from under them.
Location: Global Justice Headquarters
"Aw man," Spider-Man said, "what a time for my Spider Sense to be on the blink." Ron and Kim soon awoke, and quickly realized where they were. GJ HQ. Suddenly a set of brown doors opened, and a tall woman, with brown hair and an eye patch over her left eye, emerged from a room, followed by scientists who began jotting down notes on Spider-Man.
"So Dr. Director," Kim said, "what's the sitch?"
"Kim, Ron," Dr. Director replied, "it's good to see you again, but it's him we want." she pointed to Spider-Man.
"Me," Spider-Man said, "look lady, I'm already taken, so if these guys would back off I'll just let myself out." suddenly two GJ troopers blocked off his exit.
"We've been watching you Spider-Man," Dr. Director replied.
"Yeah, so has the CIA, Men in Black, and S.H.E.I.L.D," Spidey added, "but they don't kidnap people off the street." He leapt over the guards heads, and stuck to the wall.
"That is why we've brought you here," Dr. Director said.
"Wait," Ron added, "you want."
"To study him," Director replied, "we hope to duplicate your powers for use by our agents, but to do that, we need the real deal, this could be an historic day for the cause of Global Justice."
"I don't think so," Spider-Man replied, "I would never allow anyone to duplicate my powers, even if it was for Global Justice, because I don't want anyone using my powers or technology but me." The others didn't have time to reply, as a series of explosions began rocking the instillation.
