Spider-Man: Fire and Desire
Author's Note: Welcome, everyone! Welcome to chapter 12! Oh, and by the way, Happy Spider-Man month! Thank you for all the favs and follows. Let's not waste too much time here. Imma reply to some reviews, and then we'll get started.
Leviathan117: I'm so happy you got most of the Spidey references I put in the last chapter. Some are more obvious than others, and I love it when people are able to spot them out. And yeah, whenever I think of Felicia's voice, I mainly think of the PS4 version that's played by Erica Lindbeck. I also think of Jennifer Hale's voice from the 1994 animated series. Both of them might be tied for me.
Joe: Thanks! Madame Web's job is to definitely drop bombshells when people are just trying to enjoy their time, lol. And yep, I wanted to give an inside look on the struggles that both Peter and Felicia have in the last chapter. Peter is probably getting the worst of it, though, with all the visions and his friends getting tired of his crap. Parker Luck, indeed.
UI Ghosty: Thank ya! And all that you said about Ben is exactly why I put him in here. Not just because he's a popular character, but the dude has been through it, lol. As for Peter, Miles, and Gwen 'potentially' teaming up, with Peter mainly playing the mentor role… Man, it's hard to explain this without spoiling anything. I'm just gonna say that 'could' happen, or it could go completely different. And yes, the complaints of the 2017 show are valid, just to give you confirmation since you said you've never seen the show, haha. To me, the 2017 show isn't the worst thing in the world. It does some good, but then it falls flat on its face in a lot of areas. It has a lot of untapped potential, and to me, that's what makes it frustrating for me to watch.
As for Morlun possibly showing up, all I can say to that is stay tuned. Although, I can agree with you on the fact that a 'Too Many Spiders' scene with him would be hilarious, XD.
Okay, I think that's all the reviews. To all my readers, don't be afraid to leave a review and ask questions. I'll make sure to reply to it in the next chapter!
Let's get this party started!

Chapter 12: Dare For Revenge
Earth-928
BGM: Daft Punk – Robot Rock
Swinging through Nueva York was yet another Spider-Man, but he would prove to be a bit different from the others. First, his earth is all shiny and futuristic. Glowing buildings, flying cars, advanced technology on every corner, it was actually quite cool to see.
This Spider-Man would pretty much be a representation of this futuristic, high-tech earth. His suit had a metallic shine to it, while also mostly being blue with some red being thrown in there. Imagine the typical red and blue color pattern on the usual Spider-Man suit, except the color combination is flipped in reverse. The red would somewhat cover his arms and lead to his chest area, where it shows a big red Spider right in the middle.
Some red would also cover his mask, but the weird part about this Spider-Man is that he didn't really have any lenses. The red on his mask only gives an outline of where the actual lenses would be. As for his back, he also had a web cape. It might be considered taboo for Spider-Man to have a cape, but it certainly isn't taboo for this Spider-Man.
As he was swinging, he stopped himself by sticking onto a building. Little did he know that he would soon have a visitor.
A bright light would flash, catching the Spider-Man off guard, but as quick as it came, it quickly went away as well.
"Miguel O'Hara! Always one of my favorites to visit." Madame Web said, making Miguel look to see where she was.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Miguel O'Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099.
Spider-Man 2099 wasn't sure why Madame Web would suddenly visit him… Okay, well, now that he thinks about it, he has some theories. He already knows that Madame Web doesn't show up for no reason, so it must be something important.
"One of your favorites, but I'm not the favorite? I'm truly hurt." Spider Man 2099 replied in a sarcastic manner, but then he would move on to more important matters. "Okay, spill the beans. Something bad is about to happen, right?"
"Universal destruction!" Madame Web exclaimed, extending her arms out in a comical fashion, which was her way of describing how the entire multiverse was gonna explode.
Spider-Man 2099 would give a nod, pointing right at Madame Web as he would proceed to say, "Yep, there's the news I was looking for."
Back To The Main Universe
Midtown High
Parker Luck, baby. You gotta love it.
Peter didn't mean to not return his friend's calls, he didn't mean to not tutor Harry the day before, but his mind still wasn't in the greatest place right now. His heartfelt conversation with Aunt May caused him to forget that he had to tutor Harry in the first place, and afterwards, he was so tired. The type of tired where you want to go to your bed and sleep. Nothing else, just sleep.
Well, that caused him to miss all the calls.
Maybe it wouldn't have been too bad if Peter didn't have a history in doing this, but he does. Even if he's quit being Spider-Man, all of Spider-Man's sins are still very much with him. All the past choices he's made has had an effect on Harry's, Gwen's, and Miles' reactions.
And to make matters worse, if Harry wasn't already pissed off enough, he failed his science test. You know, the test Peter was supposed to tutor him for.
Peter can't seem to win at all, huh?
Any chance of Peter and Harry speaking to each other today was crushed. Unfortunately, that would probably go for Gwen and Miles as well.
And guess what? It was lunchtime.
Peter already knew he couldn't sit with his friends today. He blew it.
He was in no rush to go to the cafeteria, being silent as his mind constantly wandered off while walking through the highways. He looked absolutely defeated and depressed, deciding to go to his locker. Peter didn't even know what he wanted to get from his locker, he was just there for the sake of being there.
Yep, this dude was messed up.
Not too far away from his locker, though, was Ava Ayala, who was getting stuff out of her own locker. From the corner of her eye, she not only noticed Peter, but how… broken he looked. It wasn't a great sight to see, and honestly, she felt for him.
She has some issues of her own.
Ava wanted to help Peter, she really did.
But she's never been good with helping people on an emotional level.
In the end, she always pushes people away.
Once she was done getting some stuff out of her locker, Ava began to walk where Peter was. Not to talk to him, though. She was mainly trying to leave.
All the voices in Peter's head were telling him to let her go. Let her be. She doesn't want to be around him anyway.
Even so, he was hurting. His main friends weren't talking to him at all, the dude was getting visions, he was starting to see cryptic numbers in his head… Like, Peter really felt like he was losing it.
Then, Ava started to get closer and closer. The look on Peter's face had visibly gotten worse, and it was too much to ignore.
Ava stopped dead in her tracks, gritting her teeth. Why was she even doing this?
Who the heck knows?
"Hey," Ava said, looking at Peter. Although, he wasn't looking back. "Are you-?"
"Am I okay? That's what you were gonna ask, right?" Peter interrupted, not letting Ava finish. While Peter might seem like a douche for interrupting Ava, this problem goes deeper than what people might realize. There's a reason why Peter was reacting this way. "I'm not sure why you would care."
Ava automatically knew where this was going, and she didn't like it one bit. However, her face wouldn't be angry. It would take on a more saddened look, honestly. While she would give a sad look, she would remain quiet, not knowing what to say.
This was due to guilt.
"We were childhood friends once, Ava, but I don't know what happened. Suddenly, one day you knew me, and the next day, you didn't know me at all. I'd try to talk to you, but you wouldn't talk to me. And if you did respond, you would always have an attitude." Peter told her, closing his locker while finally deciding to look at her in the eyes. "What did I do to you? What did I do to you that caused us to not be friends anymore?"
As Peter was speaking on how hurt he felt about Ava suddenly deciding not to speak to him, the girl had no idea how to respond. It's true, they were childhood friends… once upon a time.
Then a lot of changes happened in Ava's life, and it caused her to push a lot of people away.
Unfortunately, that includes the people she was closest to.
Sometimes, friends would tell other friends what's happening in their lives, but the type of stuff that happened in Ava's life, it just can't be brought out into the open like normal problems. For her to talk about anything, it would have to be forced out of her.
"Pete…" Ava began, trying to look at him in the eyes, but she couldn't keep the eye contact for long. Her head looked down, as her eyes were facing nothing but the floor. "I wish I could tell you what was going on, but I… I can't."
Now, if anybody could understand that statement, it would be Peter Parker.
He may not be Spider-Man anymore, but he was Spider-Man for a certain period.
Even with Peter going through utter hell right now, his first instinct was to try and help Ava, even if there's a part of him that's still mad at her. Those feelings would be put on the backburner due to his pure heart.
But before he could respond, Ava ran away, just like she always has.
Now, it's the same, old song
But with a different meaning since you've been gone
Now, it's the same, old song
But with a different meaning since you've been gone
Peter could only watch as Ava ran away, feeling even more frustrated than before due to the fact she wouldn't tell him what was going on.
Oh boy, is this how other people felt when he keeps his own secrets?
Cafeteria
Peter would eventually make it to the cafeteria, analyzing it quickly. Harry, Gwen, and Miles were all sitting together, while Flash and Felicia were sitting at the 'popular' table with others.
There was one open table nobody sat at. It was the outcast table. Peter already felt like an outcast, but now, this would just solidify it. Then again, he didn't really feel like sitting near anybody either. Maybe it's best if he's alone for the time being.
He went over to the open table, sitting down and depressingly ate lunch by himself. Harry, Gwen, and Miles noticed this from the other side, but they were too stubborn to make any moves.
Over at the popular table, Flash would turn around and see Peter sitting by himself. He gave Felicia a nudge, catching her attention. With a simple point from Flash, it caused Felicia to turn around, seeing Peter alone.
"Should we invite him over to this table?" Flash asked. He never thought those words would come out of his mouth, but ever since he and Peter made up, he's dropped the bullying act with him.
"I'm not sure if he wants to be around other people. At least, not a large crowd, anyway." Felicia stated, assuming that's how Peter felt since he chose to sit at a table alone. She would look at Flash, giving a look that pretty much said, 'we should go over there.'
Flash would give an agreeing nod, getting ready to get up until they saw somebody come near Peter.
While Peter was sulking, he didn't even notice the person who was standing near him.
"Mind if I sit here, Tiger?"
Peter looked up, not expecting for anyone to come to this table. When he did look up, he saw it was no one other than Mary Jane Watson.
Yep, Peter may be depressed, but he ain't stupid. He's already been well documented for being weak when it comes to pretty redheads. If Mary Jane caught him on any other day, Peter would be much happier than what he's showing right now, but hey, that's what life can do to ya.
"No, I don't mind." Peter said, his tone barely being audible, but fortunately, Mary Jane could understand him. She would sit right by him, putting out her hand for a handshake.
"I'm Mary Jane, but you can call me MJ." she told him, having a smile. "What's your name?" (A/N: While you're reading MJ's lines, imagine her Spectacular Spider-Man voice by Vanessa Marshall!)
Peter looked at MJ's hand, then back at her. He couldn't understand why someone as beautiful as her would be sitting at this table with him, especially with the whole loner vibe he was giving off.
He would remain silent for a good moment, until finally deciding to tell MJ his name.
"Peter." he replied, soon adding, "Peter Parker." After he told her his name, Peter would shake MJ's hand.
MJ would tilt her head, putting her hand on her chin as it was clear she was thinking about something. "Peter Parker… Peter Parker… Why does that name sound familiar?" she asked herself. After she thought about it some more, she raised her index finger in the air, having a light bulb moment. "Ohhhh, I know who you are now! My Aunt Anna has told me all about you. You can thank your Aunt May for that." she said with a chuckle.
Of course, Peter already connected the dots when MJ got introduced to the school. However, he would play along. "So, you're the person my Aunt May has been trying to hook me up with?" he inquired, acting like he didn't know a thing. "Well, at least I can say she has good taste."
"I could say the same thing for my aunt."
Were they flirting right now?
"This is definitely flirting, right?" Peter thought to himself, not sure why he said what he said. Okay, that's a lie. He said what he said because MJ was hot. But for MJ to reply in the same manner…
HOOOOO BOOOOYYYY!
MJ fully knew what she said, and it was evident by the smirk on her face. She was playing with him, that's all it was.
Sheesh, you would think all the interactions with Felicia and Black Cat would make Peter better in these situations, but… Nope, he's still the same ol' Peter Parker. He would awkwardly laugh, scratching the back of his head. "Can't believe this is how I meet my next-door neighbor after all this time."
MJ would slightly laugh, replying, "Had to happen sometime. At this point, you're the only person I have a connection to at this school."
Peter would nod, saying, "Oh, that's right. You just transferred over here."
MJ would give a nod of her own. "Yep. Still trying to make friends and all that good stuff. Not quite used to everything yet."
Peter would tilt his head. "Well, do you like it over here?"
MJ would shrug. "I mean, it's fine so far. It's your typical high school." she added. "But the friends and everything else will come eventually, though. Not worried about that part."
"Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't be worried. You remember how all the guys in the school turned into hyenas when Principal Lee introduced you?" Peter reminded, joking a bit.
Huh. Was his mood improving due to MJ's presence?
MJ shook her head at Peter reminding her of that massacre, but she kept a smile on her face. "Yeah, that definitely did happen."
With her saying that, Peter would say this. "I'll give it one more day, and you'll be sitting at an established table in no time." That was his way of saying, 'you're a cute girl, and cute girls have nothing to worry about.'
"What about you, though?" MJ asked. "I assume you've been at this school for a good while. Why are you sitting alone?"
Once MJ asked that question, this is when Peter's mood started to revert back to what it was. In this moment, MJ could tell she made a mistake, and she knew it instantly when she saw Peter's face become saddened. "I'm sorry. Forget that I even asked that question."
Peter would nod, replying, "No, no, you're fine. You did nothing wrong." he assured her, pausing for a moment. "If you wanna know why I'm alone… My friends… Uh… Don't really like me right now."
MJ raised an eyebrow. She was about to ask why Peter's friends didn't seem to like him, but their conversation would be interrupted by no one other than Felicia Hardy.
BGM: Nelly – Pimp Juice
"Good to see you're making new friends, Peter." Felicia told him, having a smirk on her face. She would look at MJ, saying, "You've been keeping him company, Red?"
MJ would give a shrug. "I guess you could say that."
Without even asking if she could sit at the table, Felicia made herself welcome by sitting right next to Peter, just like MJ was. Felicia was on the left side, and MJ was on the right side.
Oh dear God, what was happening right now?
Was Peter freakin' dreaming? He currently has the gorgeous Felicia Hardy sitting next to him on one side, and then on the other side, he had Mary Jane Watson, the new, hot girl in school sitting next to him too.
If he was in any type of a better mood, he would currently be freaking out. Any guy would die to be in his position right now.
In fact, a lot of the cafeteria took note of this, as their eyes all widened at the sight. "Dude, is that Parker sitting with the two hottest girls in school?"
"No way! That can't be Parker! He's too much of a nerd for any girl to like him, much less those two!"
"He used voodoo on them! That's the only explanation!"
"I'm gonna have to go with blackmail."
"There ain't no way, boy! Ain't no way, boy! Boy, ain't no way, boy!"
"Yoooo, Parker has the pimp juice!"
"Man, that boy 'smoove!"
Oh great. The alone time Peter wanted was completely ruined, and he has these girls to thank for it. He's not blaming them, it's just the way things are, especially with multiple hormonal teenagers all in the same place at the same time.
Even all the episodes of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide couldn't prepare him for this moment.
The trio of Peter, MJ, and Felicia tried to ignore all the ruckus that was going on. With a deep, deep sigh, Peter would say, "MJ, this is Felicia. Felicia, this is MJ."
"The new girl, eh?" Felicia said, looking at her. "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise," replied MJ, but the introductions wouldn't last too long, because another obnoxious kid would yell out these words.
"PARKER IS GETTIN' IT IN!"
Yep, that was the last straw. Peter already wasn't in the greatest frame of mind, and now he couldn't even have a simple conversation with Felicia or MJ. Because of this, he got up, looking at both girls. "Sorry… but I… I need to go somewhere else." he told them, walking away from them and exited the cafeteria.
"Peter! Peter!" Felicia called out, but her words would fall on deaf ears. Peter was already gone.
Well, her attempt at helping didn't help at all.
The Daily Bugle
Even though Spider-Man is out of the picture, that doesn't mean Peter can rest on his laurels. He still needed to make some money so he could help Aunt May with the bills. While he would like to avoid this place altogether because of JJ, he can't. This is how he makes his money.
Going inside and entering the elevator, he made it to the top floor. Immediately, he was greeted by his fellow coworkers.
"Peter! Glad to see you're alright!" Robbie exclaimed happily, making Peter slightly smile.
"Yeah, never felt better." he replied. He was always cool with Robbie. "Is Mr. Jameson in his office?"
"You know he is," Robbie confirmed. "He'll be happy to see you."
"I doubt it, but it's good to dream." Peter replied, as both he and Robbie exchanged a small laugh. Sooner or later, he would be greeted by Betty Brant.
"Nice to see you back on your feet, Peter. I knew you wouldn't be out long." Betty said, smiling.
"Well, when you're broke, you can only be out for so long." Peter joked, as he walked inside Jameson's office. Once he made it inside, he saw JJ, Angelica, Eddie, and Hoffman.
Angelica turned around, as an immediate smile would show on her face when she saw Peter. She walked over to him and hugged him, to which Peter would return the hug. "Hey, Pete. Good to see ya again."
"Good to see you too, Angelica." Peter replied, the two ending their hug. He looked at Eddie, the two of them exchanging smirks. Eddie was already the first one to see Peter after he got out the hospital, and their conversation afterwards proved they had a lot more in common than what they realized.
"What's up, bro?" Eddie said.
"Nothing much, bro. Living the dream." Peter said.
He was in fact not living the dream, but hey, gotta fake it till you make it!
"Peter!" Hoffman exclaimed. "Good to see you agai-!"
Before Hoffman could even finish, JJ would interrupt him. "PARKER! Nice to see you back! Though, you're a little late on getting the scoop of the century, but I'm not gonna hold it against you since you were injured."
Peter raised an eyebrow. "Scoop of the century? What do you mean by tha-"
In mere moments, Peter would figure out what JJ meant. He would look up at JJ's wall and see what was hanging up on it.
It was his Spider-Man costume.
His Spider-Man costume that he threw in the garbage, still being torn up and everything from his battle with the Kingpin.
Peter stood in silence as he looked at his old costume, not sure what to say at the sight.
JJ proudly laughed. "Can you believe it, Parker?! Some guy came in and gave me Spider-Man's costume! This is proof that he's finally given up! We don't have to worry about that masked menace anymore! HAHA! The power of the press triumphs!"
Peter clenched his fists, getting angrier and angrier by the second, but he would control himself, just like he always has.
"Oh, and by the way, you missed the other scoop of the century!" JJ said, now thinking about it. "Well, now that I think about it, I don't know if I'd call it a scoop, but nonetheless, history was made. My son John Jameson recently went to the moon! Miss Jones and Brock over here were able to take adequate pictures in your absence." he told him, bringing out the newest copy of the newspaper, which had a picture of JJ and John hugging each other. "Now that's a real hero right there! I've never been more proud!"
Peter looked at the picture of John and JJ hugging each other, acting like he was happy to see it, when he really wasn't. "Yep, that's a real hero alright." Peter said, but it was in a slightly sarcastic tone. Although, JJ wouldn't pick up on it.
JJ would then put the newspaper down, proceeding to say, "Unfortunately, Parker, as of right now, there's nothing I want or need you to do, but if that masked menace ever decides to come out of retirement, you'll be the first person I'll call!" Jameson told him. While Peter on the outside didn't seem to react to that statement, he was definitely pissed off in the inside.
In his own way, JJ pretty much said Peter is only good for taking pictures of Spider-Man, and nothing else. This also meant no money for him.
To make matters worse, what was next to the 'John Jameson landing on the moon' papers was another newspaper, which was the current best-seller.
SPIDER-MAN NO MORE! TRADEMARK THREADS DUMPED BY WEBSLINGER!
There was only so much Peter could take.
And he needed to get out of here before he said something he would regret.
Though, before he could get out of Jameson's office, something… odd would happen.
On Jameson's shoe, something started to move. Although, it couldn't be noticed since his shoes were black, and the thing on his shoe was black itself.
Let's just say Jameson got something on him when he hugged his son John after he returned from the moon.
This black thing on Jameson's shoe… looked like a symbiote of some sorts. Deciding to make its move, it leapt onto Peter's shoe. Peter didn't even notice this, and neither did anyone else.
He walked out of Jameson's office, and exited the Daily Bugle, wanting to get as far away from that place as humanly possible.
The Next Day
Well, today was the day.
The 1-year anniversary of Uncle Ben's death.
Peter and Aunt May were facing Ben's grave. Aunt May could be seen bending down, placing flowers on the grave.
Ben Parker
Beloved Husband and Uncle
"It wasn't fair to have gone like that… He was a peaceful man." Aunt May said, looking at the grave for a long time.
"And it was all my doing." she told herself, although, Peter would be able to hear it. She would get up slowly, as Peter would gently grab her arm and help her stand. Peter would look at the grave for a long time as well, multiple thoughts running through his mind.
Uncle Ben…
He was his idol.
He was his father.
It took a lot to not break down and cry right there, but he would remain strong. As much as he hates to admit it, he still loves him deeply.
But there was another side of him that was still in shock due to the person he really was.
And for Aunt May to say what she said, about how it was all her doing, that broke Peter's heart.
No… No, no, no. Peter couldn't do this anymore. He can't allow Aunt May to blame herself, to hate herself for this.
Peter would rather have her hate him instead of hating herself, because even after everything that was revealed, he felt like he was still the one responsible for Uncle Ben's death.
As Aunt May began to walk away, that left Peter alone for a moment, leaving nothing but the wind to blow leaves in his direction, while his mind was settling on what to do.
This is the day he'll tell her the truth.
Aunt May's House
Peter and Aunt May had made it back home. Peter was sitting at the table, as Aunt May was pouring tea for both of them.
"Aunt May… you don't have to punish yourself." Peter told her, watching her pour the tea.
"Oh, I know I shouldn't… but it's just that you wanted to take the subway and he wanted to drive you. If only I had stopped him, then all three of us would be having tea together." said Aunt May, who finished pouring tea for her and Peter. She would sit down and begin to drink.
Peter would become quiet for a few good moments, trying to build up the courage to speak.
Eventually, it would happen.
"I'm responsible…" Peter said, and when he said it, he was afraid to look into Aunt May's eyes.
It's safe to say she was confused. "For what?"
"For what happened to Uncle Ben." Peter clarified, taking a deep breath, his voice becoming shaky. "On that day, when he drove me to the library… I never went in. I went someplace else… Some place where I thought I could win some money. I thought I did, but the guy wouldn't pay me. Then he got robbed… the thief was running towards me. I could've stopped him… but I didn't… because I wanted revenge. So… I let him go. That thief… was the same thief who killed Uncle Ben."
At this point, Peter was really struggling to speak here, and the look on Aunt May's face was nothing but pure shock.
Despite everything Peter's found out, he would still try to uphold Uncle Ben's legacy, even if it meant his Aunt May would hate him forever.
"Uncle Ben… was killed that night… for being the only one who did the right thing."
Peter would finish on that statement.
He couldn't do it anymore.
It was too hard to go through, too hard to talk about.
And quite frankly, Aunt May would feel the same way.
So many thoughts were going through her mind due to the news Peter just revealed to her. She had no idea what to do, she had no idea what to say.
But then… the phone would start ringing.
Peter would look over at the phone, wondering if he should even pick it up during a moment like this. He was clearly hesitant, but if it was an important phone call, he didn't want to mess it up like he did with his friends.
Going over to the phone, he would pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Peter. It's Captain Stacy."
Peter was surprised to hear Captain Stacy calling him. Even though Peter had a good relationship with the Stacy's, Gwen is usually the one who would be calling him, but not George Stacy.
"Um… Hi, Captain Stacy." Peter managed to say, still not sure why he was calling. "Is everything okay?"
"I would like for you and your aunt to come down to the station. There's something we need to talk about." Captain Stacy told him, Peter being quiet.
What was so important?
NYPD Station
Peter and Aunt May were sitting down in Captain Stacy's office. He brought out a picture of Dennis Carradine, which brought back bad flashbacks for Peter.
Dennis Carradine, the man who killed Uncle Ben.
"Originally, we thought this man, Dennis Carradine, was your husband's killer." Captain Stacy said, speaking to Aunt May and took a short pause. "We were wrong."
Aunt May and Peter both looked up wide eyed. "What?" Aunt May replied.
"What are you talking about?" Peter said, not believing his ears.
"It turns out Mr. Carradine was only an accomplice. The actual killer… was this man." Captain Stacy said, bringing out another picture of a completely different guy. Peter and Aunt May both stared at the picture, but Peter wouldn't just leave it on the desk.
BGM: Spider-Man 3 OST – Uncle Ben Flashback
He would grab it and get up, analyzing the picture's every detail.
Then Captain Stacy would confirm the details.
"The person in that picture… the murderer of Ben Parker… is Walter Hardy."
…
…
…No.
Peter's mind instantly went somewhere. He only knew of one Hardy.
No.
No, no, no.
"Walter Hardy was pronounced dead a year ago. However, the details of this case started to open up more and more, especially with additional witnesses commenting on the scene."
No… Everything was starting to add up.
Peter closed his eyes, debating on if he should even say this.
"Was this man…. Was he the father of Felicia Hardy?" Peter asked, opening his eyes and looked directly at Captain Stacy.
Captain Stacy wasn't sure how to respond, so he would take it slow. "Why are you asking that question?"
"Captain Stacy, do not play with me right now." Peter said, slight venom being in his voice. He would repeat his question once again.
"Was he the father of Felicia Hardy?"
Captain Stacy continued to look at Peter, before confirming.
"Yes, he was the father of Felicia Hardy."
At that very moment, that's when Peter would throw the picture back on Captain Stacy's desk, being enraged. He thought he avenged his uncle. He thought he had the right guy.
But come to find out, everything about everything was an absolute lie.
And quite frankly, Peter was sick of it all.
"I watched my Uncle die… and you decide to tell us this news now? Why weren't we told about this earlier?" Peter said, frustration clearly being in his voice.
"Peter, I know this is hard, but you have to settle down. We're trying as hard as we can to-"
"Shut up! Just shut up!" Peter shouted, gritting his teeth. "If you were truly trying as hard as you could, you could've at least had the decency to tell us about this earlier! This man killed my uncle, and you just expect me to be calm about this entire thing?!"
The reasons why Peter was mad at this go way beyond the surface.
It doesn't matter if Walter Hardy was dead, there were many, many other reasons leading up to this moment that's caused him to explode.
"I've been through a lot, Captain… but this… this was the final straw."
Ending on that note, Peter left Captain Stacy's office, not wanting to deal with him or anyone else in this police station.
Nighttime
"So, let me get this straight." Black Cat said, looking directly at Daredevil. "You want us to go back into Fisk Towers, and the hope is we'll find some information that'll clear Spider-Man's name?"
Daredevil gave a confirming nod. "That's the plan."
"Look," Black Cat began, "I can't afford to be seen there anymore. If I am… then people very close to me will die." she told him, referring to her mother, but she didn't exactly say it.
"Which is why we'll have an additional teammate." Daredevil explained, making Black Cat roll her eyes.
"Oh lovely…" Black Cat sarcastically said. "And who's the additional teammate?"
"The only person that was willing to go with us on this mission. And quite frankly, he's very close with Spider-Man, so he's taking this personally." Daredevil stated, his voice becoming less unenthusiastic while he was speaking.
In mere moments, their additional teammate would show up.
BGM: DMX – X Gon' Give It To Ya
Seconds afterwards, a red and black costumed mercenary would show up, making a break dance-like entrance as he landed on the building. Equipped with guns, swords, and an insane personality, this could only be one person.
"DEAAADPOOOOOOOOL!"
"DEAAADPOOOOOOOOL!"
"DEAAADPOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!"
"DEADPOOL!"
Yep, just as insane as ever.
Black Cat was watching this abomination unfold for herself, as Daredevil was taking deep breaths to compose himself. He knew the way Deadpool operated, since he's worked with him before, but it doesn't make him any less difficult to deal with.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Black Cat said, being in utter disbelief. This is her first-time meeting Deadpool, and her initial impressions were… not great.
Deadpool would stop breakdancing, looking directly at the fourth wall and would decide to break it, now talking to the readers of this story. "First of all, I just want to say it's an absolute tragedy that the writer has decided for Daredevil and I to team up WITH NO SPIDEY! What kind of evil author would do that to their writers?! Does he not know all the follows and favs he would get if he gave us a team up chapter?!"
Voicing his frustrations to the reader, Deadpool would then focus on the task at hand. As soon as he saw Black Cat, he started purring. "Oooo la la… Why hello there."
Daredevil's palm met with his face, once again taking deep breaths. "Black Cat, this is Deadpool. Deadpool, this is-"
"I know who she is, Daredevil! Spidey and I have had loooong talks about Black Cat!" Deadpool exclaimed, examining Black Cat up and down like she was something to behold. "Yes, truly a work of art. You belong in a museum, baby." he told her, quickly raising an index finger in the air. "BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION!" he shouted dramatically, pointing directly at Black Cat's chest. "Are those real?"
Yep, this was the moment Daredevil wanted to kill himself.
As for Black Cat, she wasn't sure what to say. She thought she was forward, but ohhhhh no, Deadpool takes it to another level.
"AND ANOTHER QUESTION!" Deadpool yelled, getting right behind Black Cat, pointing at her bottom. "Is this real too?"
An awkward, awkward silence would happen. Daredevil unleashed this monster, and now he couldn't stop it. It's self-sustaining now.
As for Black Cat… if Deadpool wanted answers, then hey, why not give it to him.
"Yes, both things are real." Black Cat confirmed, as Deadpool got in front of Black Cat and started to clap his hands in approval.
"Oh yeah, now I can see why Spidey is crazy about ya. If he wasn't my homie, I would…" Deadpool paused, now deciding to look at the fourth wall again. He began to shake it out of frustration, yelling, "Oh, I almost forgot! I can't say what I really want to say because this story is RATED T! NOT RATED M! THIS AUTHOR SUCKS!"
After breaking the fourth wall once again, Deadpool would look at Daredevil. "Anyway, Daredevil. I have some important news that you might want to hear."
Daredevil looked back at Deadpool, sighing heavily. "Spit it out then."
Deadpool cleared his throat, facing Daredevil and Black Cat as he began to speak. There was no turning back now. "Well, in my humble opinion as it pertains to this important news, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and every one's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
…
…What.
Did Deadpool just seriously and dramatically ramble on about absolutely nothing?
I mean, it's not out of the ordinary for him. He's quite literally insane, but they really thought he had something important to say.
"Remind me again how he's supposed to help us?" Black Cat asked, looking directly at Daredevil.
"He's going to be a big enough distraction for you to sneak in and get the information you need." Daredevil explained.
Black Cat sighed. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but that actually makes sense." she replied, now looking at Fisk Towers with the group. "You guys ready?"
"Indeed." Daredevil confirmed.
"Ohhhh, I'm ready to blast some heads off!" Deadpool shouted.
With that being said, the three would make their way to Fisk Towers.
Aunt May's House
"Peter! Peter! Listen to me, young man! You can't just-!"
"I can't storm off and yell at Captain Stacy like that?! That's what you were gonna say, right?!" Peter shouted at Aunt May, not being in the mood to hear any of this. "He decides to tell us after all this time, the person WE thought who killed Uncle Ben, wasn't actually the person who killed him!"
"The man who took your uncle, MY husband, is gone, Peter! There's no need to-!"
Once again, Aunt May would be cut off.
"It's not about that!" Peter exclaimed, emitting a powerful yell from his vocals. "I'm tired of life beating me down! I'm TIRED of being lied to!"
In this moment, Peter would bring something out of his pocket.
A USB Drive, which was the USB Drive that gave him tons of information on Wilson Fisk. When he brought that out, Aunt May immediately became quiet, her eyes widening at the sight.
"What is this, Aunt May?" Peter asked, his tone being irate, but it was a quiet, scary irate. "Hmm? Oh, now you suddenly don't wanna talk, huh? So, that lets me know you've been keeping secrets from me too!"
"Peter…"
"I found this in a suitcase!" Peter shouted. "And this gave me all the information I could ever want on Wilson Fisk! BUT!" Peter yelled, dramatically pausing. "There's only one question about this, though! WHY DO WE HAVE A USB CONTAINING ALL THIS INFROMATION ON WILSON FISK IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"
"It's none of your concern!" Aunt May clapped back, to which it made Peter laugh.
"Wooooww, so it's none of my concern? So, you're just trying to tell me that we have a USB with Wilson Fisk's information for no reason? You're trying to tell me this isn't out of the ordinary? You want me to believe this is normal?!" Peter said, still holding the USB and never letting it out of Aunt May's sight. "Why? Why do we have this?! HOW do we have this?!"
Peter's question made Aunt May completely quiet, which in turn, only enraged Peter even more.
"TELL MEEEEEEEEEEE!"
His shout, his yell, his cry for help, his voice would travel all throughout the house.
There was a divide. Peter wanted to know what was going on, but Aunt May was still reluctant in telling the truth.
And in this moment of pain, agony, and suffering…
Somebody would ring the doorbell.
Peter and Aunt May would both look at the door. With a grunt, Peter would walk towards the door and open it.
Now, who he and Aunt May would see… Well, his presence would make them think they're in the Twilight Zone.
"Excuse me, but is this the Parker residence?"
It was Wilson Fisk.
Fisk Towers
BGM: TMNT 2007 OST - Nightwatcher
Inside Fisk Towers, Deadpool was absolutely losing it, causing the greatest distraction in the history of distractions. The guards couldn't keep him at bay, no matter how hard they tried. With a variety of guns at his disposal, Deadpool was shooting at everything and everyone like the madman he was.
"YOU GUYS WANNA RUIN SPIDEY'S NAME?! WELL, I GOT SOMETHIN' FOR YA! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
This insane mutate continued to fire at will, not caring who lives or who dies, as a maniac-like laugh came from his mouth. Still deciding to shoot with his one hand, he would throw multiple grenades, all of them exploding at once which caused multiple large and loud explosions to destroy everything in his path.
Going up the floors of Fisk Towers, Deadpool brought out his katanas, leaving nothing but a scene full of carnage. Blood was being splattered everywhere, as heads were being decapitated, swords were going through people's chests, and various limbs were being cut off, this was Deadpool at his absolute best.
"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?! I WILL TEAR YOU APART!"
Meanwhile on another floor…
"Black Cat, what's your status?" Daredevil asked through his communicator, taking out the guards with his supreme fighting skills.
"Still traveling through these vents undetected. Gotta say, Deadpool indeed makes a great distraction. Don't know if there's anybody better than him at that." responded Black Cat.
"There isn't a soul alive who makes a distraction like he does." Daredevil confirmed, kicking one guard in the gut, while proceeding to clock another one in the jaw. Clearing the path for himself, Daredevil continued to run up the stairs, getting to the next floor.
When he got to the next floor, though, it was strange.
It was eerily quiet, and it didn't give Daredevil the greatest feeling.
He never let his guard down, however. He continued to walk in a defensive position, being ready for anything that may come his way.
Unfortunately… what would come his way would be a greater challenge than anticipated.
"Hello, Matt."
Daredevil stopped dead in his tracks, automatically knowing who it was since he recognized the voice. He would turn around, now facing this person.
This girl was an assassin of the highest order. She had long black hair, blue eyes, and a crimson red costume that was fitted on top, slinging over one shoulder. On the bottom, it appears like a dress with open legs on both sides. She compliments that with a red bandanna, red arm, and leg straps. Honestly, she was beautiful.
Dangerously beautiful, I might add.
Daredevil clenched his fists, while also gritting his teeth.
"Elektra." he spoke. The two would look at each other for a long time, until Daredevil would break the silence. "Why do you continue to work for Kingpin? Don't you know all the lives he's taken?!"
This wasn't the first time he and Elektra had this conversation, nor would it be the last time either.
Huh, sounds similar to a fellow Spider-themed superhero and a Cat never seeing eye to eye.
"You chose your path, and I chose mine." Elektra said, bringing out her twin sai swords.
"I'm trying to help you! What makes you think Kingpin won't dispose of you like he does with the rest of his people?!" Daredevil shouted, but Elektra was clearly done with this conversation.
"ENOUGH!" Elektra yelled, charging right at Daredevil, and Daredevil would charge right back.
The intensity in their eyes would be piercing both of their souls, and the battle itself…
Well, this was going to be even more intense.
Elektra would yell, going straight for Daredevil's arm with her sai, but he would block the oncoming attack, proceeding to throw a punch at her. With her supreme agility, Elektra would dodge the attack, sending another sai strike at Daredevil.
By the skin of his teeth, Daredevil barely dodged the attack with his head, but would counter with powerful punches and kicks, to which Elektra would do the same. Both were matching blow for blow, combo for combo, kick for kick, punch for punch, slash for slash.
When they collided with each other, the sheer force coming from both of them could easily cause an earthquake. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but it's used to describe the power and ferocity these two were fighting with.
Their arms would clash with each other, a battle of dominance, will, and pure strength being put on display. Both were straining themselves, as evident by the looks on their faces.
Sooner or later, both Daredevil and Elektra would let out powerful yells that traveled all throughout Fisk Towers, signaling that this battle was far from over.
In a dark room...
BGM: The Incredibles OST – Kronos Unveiled
Seeing that the coast was clear, Black Cat crashed through the vents and landed gracefully on her two feet. When she looked around, it's like… this room was empty.
The only thing ahead of her was a chair.
She walked towards it and sat down, seeing that there was a keyboard. Pressing a button, it lit up a huge screen that wrapped around the entire dark room. Immediately, the screen asked for a password.
"Oh great…" Black Cat muttered to herself. However, she wasn't completely lost on this matter. Since she dealt with criminals a lot, and knows a lot about criminal history, this may help her in this moment. Criminals constantly talking about other criminals might make her come up with the password.
She doesn't think the password would be Kingpin's name, so she had to think harder.
Wait… didn't his family get murdered awhile back?
Vanessa and Richard Fisk.
Black Cat's eyes widened, betting on the password being an emotional one. She would type in Vanessa, aaaaaand…
It would work.
Black Cat smirked, mentally giving herself a pat on the back. "First try, too. You go, girl." she told herself, now beginning to dive into everything.
She would go over to Fisk Towers Operations, and a ton of information would be revealed. The screen kept on showing people that have died at Fisk's hands, and it just wouldn't stop. Some well known names, some gangsters, some scientists, his own workers, it was never-ending.
TERMINATED
TERMINATED
TERMINATED
TERMINATED
She rose out of her chair, her mouth being agape as she couldn't believe this. Okay, well, maybe she could, but Fisk…
This only proved Fisk was even more of a madman than what she realized.
But then… she had the urge to do something.
Something… never felt right to her.
Black Cat would begin typing, as the words she would type would be Walter Hardy.
Once she typed those words in, she expected one answer…
But got a completely different one.
The screen didn't say TERMINATED.
In Walter Hardy's description, near his picture, there would be an area on the screen that said LOCATION.
WALTER HARDY
LOCATION: UNKNOWN
Black Cat couldn't move for a good few moments. A little bit of time passed, and tears started to stream down her face.
"Daddy… You're alive?" she spoke out loud, thinking that this was some type of dream. Maybe this was a prank.
But it wasn't.
Walter Hardy was alive.
Trying to overcome her shock, Black Cat tried to get back on track, going to the next operation.
PROJECT M
STATUS: IN PROGRESS
GOAL: BRING BACK VANESSA AND RICHARD
"This… this is what Spidey was talking about." Black Cat said, moving onto the next thing.
What would show next would be a picture of Peter Parker.
PETER PARKER, SON OF MARY AND RICHARD PARKER
GOAL: BRING HIM IN TO FINISH PROJECT M
STATUS: CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS
When Black Cat saw this, her eyes widened, stepping back in utter horror as her heart dropped.
"Oh no."
She had to get out of here.
She had to get out of here now.
Peter's life was on the line, and she has to get out of here NOW.
She started running away from the screen, now being in a race against time.
Her new mission was to save Peter Parker.
Aunt May's House
BGM: The Amazing Spider-Man – Peter's Suspicions
"You are not allowed in this house!" Aunt May told Wilson Fisk, pure anger being in her voice.
"But May, that's no way to treat somebody who was like family." Fisk said, entering the house and looking at Peter. "And you must be Peter. You are the spitting image of your father, let me tell ya."
"I used to get that a lot from my Uncle Ben." Peter said, making Fisk nod. "But… how do you know who I am?" Peter asked. He pretty much knew how Fisk knew, but he was playing dumb.
Secret identity reasons, even if he ain't Spider-Man anymore.
"Why, my boy, your father, mother, and uncle, we all used to work together!" Fisk cheerfully said, which was rather creepy to see. Then his tone would take on more of a somber one. "It pained me so much to hear that each of them passed away… We truly did work well together."
At that statement, Peter remained silent. He was trying his hardest to not clock Fisk in his jaw right now, but he remained calm.
"We were working on a… revolutionary project. A project that would've changed the world." Fisk explained. "However, ever since your parents died in that horrific plane crash, the project never got completed."
Fisk would pause again, before looking directly at Peter. "I have to ask, Peter. While you look like your father… are you as smart as he is?"
Once that question was asked, Peter was quiet. He wasn't sure how to answer this one. He thought about it over and over again, before saying, "I guess you could say that."
Fisk smirked widely at this. "Then, I have an opportunity for you. Would you like to come and work for me?" Fisk asked, as Peter's and Aunt May's eyes widened. "You would be the leader on this project your parents were destined to finish. I assure that you would get paid handsomely as well."
Peter was once again quiet, his mind running a mile a minute, as this was a lot to take in at once.
So, that's what this was all about?
Fisk only came here to recruit him?
Fisk noticed Peter was taking a long time to answer, and this would make him try to empathize with the boy. "Peter, while I'm not forcing you to accept my offer right now, I do want to say that this is the opportunity of a lifetime. I would hate for you to go through your life… and regret the choices you've made."
His voice… carried power. Authority.
The type of voice that could send chills down anybody's spine.
"I've made choices that I regret, and you can't help but to look back. Sometimes, I wish I didn't choose this life. Sometimes, I wish I could start completely over, but I'm too far down this road that it makes it impossible for me to come back." As Fisk was saying this, was there… honesty in his mini speech?
No, no there couldn't be any honesty.
Out of all the stuff he's not only done, but repeatedly done?
Peter looked at Fisk's face, and…
Believe it or not, he felt like he was telling the truth.
There was a certain amount of pain in his words. A certain amount of truth in his words that did confirm Fisk did want to start over, but he's been on his current path for so long, he really did feel like it was too late to turn back.
Losing your wife and son will do that to you, along with others.
"Think about my offer. That's all I'm saying." Fisk said, looking at Peter, then back at Aunt May. "It was nice to see you again, May."
Aunt May wouldn't respond, continuing to give Fisk a death glare.
He didn't want to overstay his welcome, so Fisk would exit the house, getting into his limo and drove off.
He would get a message on his communicator, and it would come from one of his goons.
"Sir, what's the order?"
Kingpin would remain silent for a good while, before confirming what the order would be.
"Light it up."
And in that moment, everything would change forever.
Back at Aunt May's house, Peter was about to speak to Aunt May about what just happened, but then he felt a feeling he hasn't felt in quite some time.
"Is that… my Spider-Sense?!"
As soon as he felt his Spider-Sense, chaos would strike.
A large explosion would engulf the Parker household, destroying every piece of it as the smoke went high into the sky. The explosion was so powerful and massive that it caught nearby cars as well, either destroying the windows or the cars themselves.
But no, the main thing Kingpin wanted to accomplish…
Was to destroy Peter and May Parker.
The whole neighborhood, whether they were looking outside their windows, or walking outside, started to freak out, screams of horror being able to be heard on every corner.
But then… as fate would have it…
As much as life wants to beat him down and act like it wants to take him out of his misery…
Maybe the boy is just cursed to go through nothing but pain in his life, offering no way out.
Just before the explosion happened, the symbiote wrapped around Peter's body and took control for one moment, the moment he needed to survive.
On Peter's back, the symbiote extended itself, sticking right to the street which launched Peter's body out of the house.
But…
It was only Peter's body the symbiote saved.
Peter, regaining some form of consciousness, sat up and saw the fire. By this time, the symbiote went back into blending in with his clothes, as he was still unaware this thing was even on him in the first place.
Still, that was the least of his concerns.
When he sat up, he couldn't grasp what he was seeing.
His home… was destroyed.
And Aunt May… Aunt May was…
"No…" Peter said, tears starting to stream down his face. "NOOOO!" Peter screamed, refusing to believe this has happened to him.
"Aunt May!"
He called her name, but his efforts were futile.
No one could've survived that explosion head on.
He continued to refuse that this was his reality, he simply refused to accept it.
He refused to believe the woman that raised him… the woman who was essentially his mother…
Was now gone.
Now, on the anniversary of Uncle Ben's death, on this same day… he would lose Aunt May too.
He would punch the ground beneath him, creating cracks from pure rage and sadness.
"AUNT MAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!"
In another universe…
Earth-26496
"Great. Just great. No Gwen, no MJ, no Liz, no Harry… Everybody hates Peter Parker, huh?"
This Spider-Man has gone through problems of his own, much like the other Spider-Men. This Spider-Man, as already stated by himself, was another form of Peter Parker. He had the iconic red and blue suit, with web wings being underneath his arms.
He was swinging through New York, thinking about how crappy his life was until a bright light flashed right in front of him, causing him to crash onto a building, splatting onto it.
"Peter Parker! That wasn't so Spectacular of you!"
It's Madame Web again. I mean, who knew, right?
And the Spider-Man she was talking to… was The Spectacular Spider-Man.
BGM: The Spectacular Spider-Man Theme Song
Spectacular Spidey, once he stopped being splatted onto a building, shook his head quickly and looked at Madame Web. "I'm… I'm not Peter Parker! And who are you supposed to be?!"
"Madame Web. Universal Spider-Lady that often gets on other Spider-Men's nerves. Please drop the act, I already know you're Peter Parker. And yes, I did say you're not the only Spider-Man, and that there's multiple universes." she explained casually, making Spectacular Spidey's head spin.
"Okay, hold on, hold on! Wait a minute! Other universes? Other Spider-Men? Listen, lady, I think you're on drugs, because there's no way you're-!"
As Spectacular Spidey was speaking, Madame Web cut him off. "I'm trying to warn you that your universe, along with all the other universes are in danger. You could cease to exist!"
This made Spectacular Spidey silent, his eyes widening at the news.
"Cease… to exist?"
Well, if there was one thing for sure, Madame Web surely got his attention.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Spectacular Spider-Man has joined the battle.
END OF CHAPTER 12: DARE FOR REVENGE
BGM: Loki Theme V2 - EPIC GLORIOUS VERSION by Samuel Kim
Deadpool: CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!
Daredevil: Since when were you allowed to do the previews?!
Deadpool: I'm allowed to do whatever the heck I want!
Elektra: Oh brother…
Next time on Spider-Man: Fire and Desire!
Aftermath
Mary Jane: What the heck was that next to our house?!
Author's Note: Alright, guys. Man oh man, chapter 12 is done, and this one… Well, the series of events, the impact of these events, just like chapter 5, this chapter has changed the story forever. Spider-Man 2099 is confirmed, Spectacular Spider-Man is confirmed, Daredevil was in here, Deadpool was in here, Elektra was in here, Aunt May and the Parker residence going kaboom, this was a lot to put in. It's clocking in at just over 10,000 words. I also want to say this. This is probably the last chapter for a long time. Well, probably not for a long time, but it could be a good amount of time. And I'm also not sure when we're getting a chapter like THIS again, if you know what I mean. This is my final, big chapter this summer, and I wanted to get this out before summer ended. College is about to start back up for me, and well, that usually takes up most of my time.
However, if you guys do show your support with the favorites, follows, and reviews, you guys could determine when the next update is gonna happen. For instance, the original plan after I finished this chapter was to come back during Halloween, and give you guys a Halloween special. Though, I also know some people don't want to wait that long either, so the best thing you can do as a reader is to let me know you love the story by favoriting it, following it, and reviewing it.
With that being said, I'm also proud to announce that there will be some sort of spin-off with this story! To combat the main chapters possibly not getting updated fast enough, I will create side chapters that are mainly separate from the main events. They'll be shorter in length, while also being waaayyyy lighter in tone. I mean, good Lord, have you read what Peter has gone through in this story? I feel like some lighter chapters would be good. I also plan to have these chapters be interactive with you readers. How, you may ask? Well, stay tuned, lol. Oh, quick thing that doesn't really matter, but yet it kinda does. I changed Angelica's eye color from green to blue. This is to differentiate Angelica and MJ since they're both redheads, while also making Angelica more accurate to her Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends appearance.
Let's see if there's anything else I wanna say… Oh yeah. Subscribe to my YouTube channel JonnyAdventure if you want to see insanity. Check out my other fanfics if you're interested in those series, too. Just came out with a new Spidey fanfic that's a crossover with The Avengers. It's called Just My Imagination. Check that out too!
Anyway, I think that's it. So, what did you guys think of this chapter? I can't wait to see the reviews. As always, if you guys like what you read, leave a follow and a favorite! Don't forget to READ AND REVIEW! See ya guys next time!
