Author's notes: I know I said this last chapter buta lot of you have been giving me suggestions for another super-hero story. So, if I was to do another super-hero/YuGiOh story, which hero should I do and which character shall it be?

A Spiderman Story
Chapter 7 - With great power, comes great responsibility

"Next came target practice…"

---Flashback---

Yugi put an empty can on his desk, walked to the other side of the room and turned around, so that he was facing it. Yugi shot a web out at it, but missed the can. He tried it again, but this time it hit a picture of his family instead of the can. Yugi tried it once more, but this time it hit the can, pulled it back and caught it.

He then tried it on the other side of the room. But this time it attached to his lamp. When Yugi tried pulling it back to get the web off, the lamp went with it! But Yugi managed to dodge it out of its way and it smashed into the wall behind him.

Suddenly, there was a knock at Yugi's door.

"Yugi?" jack said from the other side of the door. Yugi opened the door, but only just a bit, so that she could not see into his room. "What's going on in there?"

"I'm just exercising," Yugi replied. "I'm not dressed yet dad."

"Okay, but you're acting so strangely Yugi."

"All right, thanks."

Yugi shuts the door and turned around to face his bedroom, which was covered in his web that he shot out.

---End Flashback---

"Wow, that was a close call," Mai said.

"Yep," Yugi replied. "Once I had a little more practice, I was ready. But nothing could prepare me for what was going to happen next…"

---Flashback---

Yugi stood in his room, getting ready to go out. He put his costume in a brown paper bag and put his millennium puzzle on the table.

"Sorry Yami, I can't take you out today," he said before leaving the room.


I was about to charge down stairs when I heard grandpa and dad talking in the shop…

Yugi sat down on the stairs learning to the conversation.

"Something's bothering him," Jack said. "I know I haven't been there for him much, but I just have this feeling."

"It's called instinct, most parents get that," Solomon said. "But now that you mention it, Yugi does seem different."

"You think he maybe is too embarrassed to tell me or you what it is. Maybe I'm to embarrassed to ask him. You think? I don't know. I just don't know anymore."

'I think that's my cue to go," Yugi thought as he came down the stairs, with his brown paper bag in his hand and headed for the front door. "I'm going to the downtown duelling arena. I'll see you later."

"Wait Yugi," Jack said as he got up. "I'll drive you there, son."

"Oh no, I'll take the train."

"No, no, I need the exercise anyway. Go on."

Solomon smiled at his son and grandson as they both as they went out the door.


Jack pulled up outside the duelling area in his car with Yugi in the seat next to him.

"Thanks for the ride dad," Yugi said, as he was about to get out of the car.

"Wait a minute Yugi, we need to talk," Jack said.

"We can talk later."

"Or we can talk now. If you would let me."

"What do we have to talk about anyway? And why now?" Yugi said as he glanced at his watch.

"Yugi, we haven't talked for so long, your grandfather and I don't even know who you are any more. You don't do your chores, you have all those weird experiments in your room, you start fights at school…"

"I didn't start that fight," Yugi interrupted. "I told you that."

"Well you sure helped finished it."

"Well then what was I supposed to do, run away?"

"No, you're never supposed to run away, but…Yugi, look, you're changing. I know, I went though the exact same thing at your age."

"No," Yugi said as his eyes widened a bit. "Not exactly."

"Yugi, these are the years when a man changes into the man he's going to become for the rest of his life. Just be careful who you change into. This guy, Tristan Taylor, he probably disserved what happened. But just because you can beat him up, doesn't give you the right to. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility."

"Are you afraid I'm going to turn into some kind of criminal? Will you quit worrying about me, okay? Something's different; I'll figure it out. Stop lecturing me, please."

"I mean don't mean to lecture and I don't mean to preach, and I know I'm trying to be a good father all the time…"

"Then stop pretending to be!" Yugi shouted.

"Right," Jack said as he sadly nodded. "I'll pick you up here at ten."

Yugi got out of the car and watched it drive away.

'Maybe I was little hard on him. He was only trying to help and he's always tried his hardiest to be there for me since mum died,' Yugi thought. 'I'll make it up to him later.'

How wrong I was…

Yugi was about to head towards the duelling area, but then he saw his father's car turn the corner and then ran off the other way.

---End Flashback---

A few minutes past and Yugi had not said a word.

"What happened after that then?" Mai said, breaking the silence. Yugi looked up at her.

"The match…"
