Chapter 11 All in the Web Works

Even with crime being at an all-time low thanks to Vale's very own superhero, Spider-Man, several large businesses owners that imported their goods at the docks in Vale, such as Oscorp, the SDC, and Hammer industries were some of the few who made sure their property stayed where it's supposed to be.

"Ok, put the container over here!" Ordered the Atlas soldier guiding the crane operator to move the large container of Dust to the SCD lot. "Make sure we secure a perimeter. Keep your eyes on anyone who looks suspicious, that includes Hammer and Oscorp!"

With so many rich companies worrying about another attack from Roman and the White Fang each business owner devised to hire their own personal muscle to secure their assets and not rely on Vale's police force, much to the discomfort of the Council advising them to trust the proper authorities.

After the failed attempt to capture Roman and Spider-Man at the docks the Vale police force has lost massive credibility to their skills making people who can afford protection rely on other means for safety.

"Hey! Make sure you don't screw up the quantity! Hammer made sure he got half the docks to put in his shipments! Make sure no other riff raff uses it!" A professional Huntsman wielding a massive sword barked. Like himself other Huntsmen were scattered around their employer's property, each handpicked and paid handsomely by Hammer for security. "That includes no Oscorp or Schnee stepping foot here!"

While many well-known entrepreneurs such as the SDC have the Atlas military and Hammer industries hire veteran Huntsmen to protect their recourses the two big shots seem to have bigger troubles with each other sharing spaces than the foreign enemies they were hired to stop. Oscorp on the other hand had its own well-trained staff guarding its goods, with three on Osborn's pay roll lounging on top of one of their buyer's shipping containers looking at the other two rivals stepping on each other's boundaries rather than doing their jobs.

"Ahhh~ This is the by far the easiest job we ever took boys." The man wearing a cowboy hat said while lying on the container to take a small nap. "Just lounging around, guarding Oscorp property, and watching Hammer and SDC goons bickering nonsense."

"Yeah, this is way easier than the other jobs we're usually accustomed to, Montana." To Montana's right spoke a short man wearing a small formal suit. Looking at one of Atlas's soldier arguing with another of Hammer's hired Huntsmen the short man in the fancy suit spoke toward the third bodyguard. who was by far the largest of the two. "Then again, this is getting a bit boring. Ain't that right, Ox?"

"Yeah." Ox replied while stretching his massive frame to relax his muscles. "A job's and job though."

"Precisely! We're just getting paid for our services. We shouldn't waste our energy like these Huntsmen and Atlas soldiers who keep throwing their weight around. Just sit back and relax, Fancy Dan." Montana laid back down and used his hat to cover his face from the bright sun.

Seeing the truth in their friend's words both Fancy Dan and Ox soon followed suit in relaxing through the morning without a single bother. Taking the time to rest, the three bodyguards didn't notice that the loud noises from the Hammer and SDC soon died down as the dock went deathly silent.

Their short time reprieve was cut short when a large shadow loomed over them, causing the three men to look up to see a large sand monster tower above everyone due to its gigantic height. The silence was broken when the monster let out a bellowing wail as it started attacking both Hammer and the SCD.

"What... in... the..." The cowboy fumbled his words as he stared slack jawed at the giant intruder wreaking havoc wherever he goes.

"It's Sandman! Take him down." Ordered a high-ranking soldier. "Make sure he doesn't steal a single box of Dust from us!" As soon as he finished speaking all soldiers entered fire team formations and unleashed a hailstorm of bullets at the creature, though it had little effect as they were simply absorbed.

"Take out his legs!" Screamed the giant sword wielding Huntsman. "Hammer paid us double if we take Sandman down!" With the motivation of extra pay each Huntsmen charged head first into battle with hopes that one of them would be lucky enough to take Sandman down by themselves.

While both Atlas soldiers and trained Huntsmen fought the large sand beast, Montana and his crew only stared at the fight with none of them even moving from their resting spot.

"Shouldn't we jump in and fight?" Fancy Dan asked while keeping his eyes on the sand monster not even slowing down from the constant barrage of bullets fired by SDC military, or the brute force of several Huntsmen attacking him in all directions.

"Did you not hear me? We were hired to stay on Oscorp's lot and stand guard. They ain't from Oscorp so going to fight won't give us extra pay." Montana explained.

"Fair point. Let them waste their time and money." Ox replied in a neutral tone as he watched one of the Huntsmen on Hammer's pay roll try to hit the monster in the right leg.

Just as the large weapon hit it was quickly engulfed in Sandman's body with the owner trying with all his might to pull it out in vain. Looking down at his feet, Sandman's leg sprouted a sand tendril and swatted the Huntsmen straight to Oscorp's lot.

Being tossed aside, the trained Huntsman roughly landed back on the ground, his Aura taking most of the damage. He looked up to see the Oscorp's security still lounging on the shipping container without a single care about what that monster was doing to them.

"What are you idiots doing?" He screamed hysterically. "We can't fight this thing alone! We need help!"

As if on cue, several screams came from the mayhem. They look just in time to see a hand full of SDC security being absorbed in the sand giant's body. Even with the danger so close to them the three men hired by Osborn still didn't move a single inch from their spot.

"Look, buddy. Just like you we're getting paid to secure our respected employers property." Montana told the Hammer Huntsmen while looking back to see Sandman grab a large Dust container and encased it in his form. "It also looks like he has a beef with the SDC, though I'm pretty sure almost everyone in the four kingdoms has a grudge or two with them." Reaching for his weapon on his hip, Montana's voice soon turned in a threatening manner. "I would also advise you to stay on your side of the docks."

"What?" The weaponless Huntsmen asked before his entire body was entangled in a strong rope. "What the- Are you out of your mind!? We're supposed to fight the monster, not each other!"

"Wrong again my friend. We're getting paid to secure this lot and since you're trespassing... OX! FANCY DAN! Show him what happens when he deals with the Enforcers." The cowboy said as he handed his rope to his large friend.

"Got it." Grabbing the rope from Montana, the massive muscle man pulled the rope with enough force that the Huntsmen on the other end was sent airborne once more and heading straight towards them.

"Ox! Give me a boost!" Fancy Dan jumped on Ox's hands and was thrown directly at the Huntsmen. "Our employer doesn't like trespassers!" Changing his position in midair so his legs were aimed at his target, Fancy Dan's polished shoes met face sending the Huntsmen flying away from Oscorp territory.

"GRAAAH!" Landing head first on solid cement again, the Huntsmen's Aura barely withstood the force as he started to taste copper in his mouth. "Ugh!" Crimson liquid began to pour out of his mouth. "Hammer didn't pay me enough for this."

Thinking that the worst was past him, the downed Huntsmen looked up in time to see the sand giant about to step on him. Struggling in vain to get the rope off him, the only thing he could do was watch and scream in despair as he was about to be squished like a bug.

"SOMEONE HELP ME! AAAAAAAA-"

"-aaaahhhh~"

"Jaune, you might want to close your mouth when yawning. Or are you just trying to catch some flies for breakfast." Harry laughed as his friend gave him a playful shove for his terrible joke.

It does make sense, being genetically part spider. Or is that racists since I'm technically a Faunus? Oh well!

"Yeah, I'm just feeling really tired." Jaune told his friend.

"But we just got to school, and we haven't started first period. Did you stay up or something?" Harry asked in concern.

Well, I had to stay up most of the night to try and perfect my web formula so when I do use it won't blow my entire hand off. Then I got only three hours of sleep, woke up again before my regular alarm clock just so I could get my parts early from Mr. Macarren's Dust shop, and then come back before Aunt May woke up so she won't ask why I was gone before school started. I could add more, but that would defeat the purpose of having a secret identity.

Knowing that he couldn't tell his friend why he was so tired, Jaune decided to give Harry a half-truth to his late-night hobby.

"I woke up really early, so I can ask if I can have another shift working at Mr. Macarren's shop." The blond teen told his friend.

"Seriously!? Jaune, I keep telling you that if you need a better job work at my dad's company. If you keep working three jobs at once you're gonna get wrinkles before you graduate."

Wrinkles before I graduate? I should be having wrinkles now! With trying to build my invention and fighting crime I should already be showing signs crow's feet!

Even when Jaune was done with his inorganic web fluid, the young spider had to go through many drawings on how the web shooters will be placed. He thought that he could put them under his wrists, but soon threw the idea away when he realized it'll cover his spinnerets. He thought that he could add a trigger under his palm, but scrapped the plan when he realized the trigger would also be covering his palm.

Making the web fluid was the easy part. I just need to place the web shooters away from my organic ones, so I don't have to worry about mixing them up. It's like if I decided to put my shield with my sword hand. It might sound like a good idea to put them at the same hand, but when you apply it in real life it could get you injured, or worse.

"I keep telling you that working there is too much work." Jaune replied and turned around to look at Beacon academy. "I'm not sure I'd even like working there. It'd be weird enough that my boss will be your dad."

Not to mention completely throw off my daily schedule. I just had my routine down that I have enough free time to be Spider-Man. If I decide to take the intern ship it'd ruin my time as Spider-Man.

"Plus, I also like working at my three jobs. I get to talk to so many people with interesting things to say, I like my bosses, well two out of three, and I also get to take pictures of Spider-Man!"

"I'm not sure taking pictures of the guy will make you enough money and don't say adding those other two jobs is enough either. If you start working for my dad he can actually give a regular pay that beats all three! It can benefit you in the long run." Osborn Jr. was about to continue but gave up when his friend was still looking at the Academy.

I wonder what Ruby and her team are doing? Will Mr. Macarren tell them I picked up my parts early? Are they going to suspect something weird and ask me? I'm not sure I'd be able to juggle so many lies in one day.

"Jaune."

I could put the web shooters above my wrist, so it'd be easier to separate the two. I just need to modify the trigger so all I have to do when I need to use my Dust webs is make a reverse hand motion.

"Jaune."

AAAHHH! This is a lot harder then I imagined. Only a science major could've created a device like this!

"Jaune!"

Finally snapping out of his thoughts, the blond moved his eyes away from the large clock tower and looked back to his friend, who was giving him a confused look.

"Are you ok man? You were looking at that academy longer than usual." The young Osborn wanted to ask more but was stopped when the high school's morning bell rang. "Looks like class is about to begin. Come on, I'm sure school will keep your mind busy from whatever you're thinking."

If only that was true. As a matter of fact, I'm wishing it'd keep everyone else busy while I start making some small tweaks to my new toys.

Like any class high school students ever had each student body had at least one subject that was by far the easiest for them to just slack off and not worry about failing. Thankfully the first class in the morning Jaune had was English with a teacher who barley paid attention to his students.

Classrooms like chemistry and math class, who had teachers that were interactive, was far more memorable for their students, including Jaune. They even put in the extra mile by decorating their own classroom with silly posters and pictures of their families on their desk to show their students who they are outside of Mid-Town High.

English class had none of those things. The class itself was sparse with the walls being completely barren, the teacher's desk had no small nick knacks or pictures to show personality, making the entire classroom feel like this was just a temporary room rather than the real thing. The only notable objects were the big bookshelf holding English textbooks, a clock on the wall, and a blank chalk board that looks like it hasn't been used at all.

"Ok, you all need to read chapters 5 through 20 and write a summery for each chapter." Jaune's English teacher told his class in a bored voice.

Even the teacher had no personality, only sitting at his desk with nothing but his school monitor and key board. As a matter of fact, Jaune's been in this classroom for several months now and he still can't remember his first period teacher's name yet. It was as if the teacher was just here to look after the kids until schools over.

Now that I look at him, this classroom does show his personality. Nothing at all!

As he started talking about today's subject more than half of the class lost interest with a few talking to their friend next to them, texting on their Scrolls, even testing the teacher's limit by falling asleep during the lesson. Harry was one of them who used his large English text book to block the teacher's view of him as he slowly closed his eyes and took a nap with Jaune having no one else to talk too.

"If I see you fooling around you'll be sent to detention."

See us? A hand full us are sleeping while you're just staring at your computer screen.

Even if Jaune may not be talking to his classmates, or taking a nap, he's still in the latter category of not doing his class work. The sole reason for this was the two bracelets in front of him with the hardcover English book hiding his little side project.

Ok, I just need to place the trigger on the back of my hand and when I push my fist down the mechanism will push the web fluid out.

The hero in disguise should've been worried about being spotted by his fellow students, especially since he was working on something that he'll be using when he's Spider-Man. Yet with so many preferring to look at what's on their Scroll and some starting to close their eyes the blonde spider doubted he'd get unwanted attention.

Connecting the small piece to the bracelet, Jaune couldn't stop smiling as he finally completed his web shooters. Lifting one of his wrist mounted web shooter, Jaune looked at all sides to make sure he didn't leave anything that could cause a malfunction.

The original design was having the trigger and the web nozzle be under my wrist, but that'd cover my spinnerets making it hard for me to try and use my organic webs then my fake ones separately.

Taking some time to think around the problem, the young blonde had the idea to place it on top of his hand making it easier to separate the two if ever he needs one and not the other. Scanning the metal bracelet, Jaune placed his web shooter on his arm to test how tight it was so he could adjust the fitting and won't cut off his circulation.

Hhmmm... It fits nice, but it's still covering my organic web shooter. I know!

Taking off the metal band he pinched a piece of the steel that was covering his organic webbing and bent it out wards. After bending it with a bit of his super strength, Jaune placed it on his wrist again and looked to see if his small adjustment worked out to his liking.

Much better! Now I don't have to worry about my original webbing being completely covered by the equipment.

"Now for the final piece." Rummaging through his backpack he fished out a small curved square piece with a white spider symbol at the center.

Sliding the cartridge into the empty chamber on top of his web shooter he pushed it forward and was greeted by compressed air escaping. Waiting a couple of seconds to see any noticeable changes, Jaune checked another mark in his mind that another task has been complete.

Sweet! All I have to do to use it is wear my costume on top of the sensitive button and when I push my hand down the fabric of my suit should apply enough pressure to eject the web.

As Jaune was marveling at his little invention his curiosity got the best of him when he decided to test how sensitive the button was.

FWIP!

"EEP!" Jaune quickly pulled his hand away from his web shooter when a thin strand of webbing left the small nozzle and landed right above him on the ceiling.

I just lightly tapped it and it shot out so quickly. Well, at least I know I don't have to apply too much pressure.

As soon as the web attached itself to something the soft strand stiffened completely freezing the small web line with part of the surface that was close around it slowly being covered in ice.

Woah! It just latched onto something and it already became solid ice. Man these Dust things are no joke. I'm kinda glad I didn't decide to use Dust on myself or else I'd be a spider statue.

After hearing what the Heiress said about the dangers of Dust, Jaune thanked his lucky stars that he used up all the Dust he had to make his web cartridges and not himself. Looking at the clock above the still distracted teacher's head to show that English class was about to end, he unlatched the web launcher from his arm and placed them back securely in his back pack before everyone started to wake up from their small nap.

The last one to open their eyes was Harry who extended both arms above his head and opened his mouth to let out a huge yawn. Wiping away some small eye crust that was forming under his eyes, the young rich teen looked across the class room to see if any changes happened when he was asleep.

"What'd I miss?" Was his question aimed at no one in particular followed by the class bell telling every student to get to their next class.

"You know." Looking above his head Jaune could still see the ice web holding in place. "Just boring stuff we usually do in class."

The rest of the school day started to pick up with every teacher giving out their usual insight in their subject. Jaune, on the other hand, kept writing down notes about other combinations of his webbing and other properties that could be used with Dust. Though he took his crime fighting seriously he made sure to at least take notes and finish his class work before he went back to his web notes just to make sure he kept his grades up so the teachers won't get curious as to why he was falling behind.

One class he made sure to pay extra attention to was chemistry. Now that he has the formula down the spider teen was more confident in making it without the fear of a chemical reaction. Mixing the same contents he used the first time in another beaker, Jaune mixed it together with a stirring rod and waited to see the compound finally turn into a white paste. Checking another thing off his imaginary to do list Jaune pulled out a Tupperware bowl he got from a random dollar store, opened the plastic cover, and poured the liquid into the new container.

Have to make sure the lid stays on tight or else the air will get in and solidify the webs before I can mix it with the Dust. I'd hate to see my hard work be wasted when I open it again and see a solid cube shaped web.

Getting the liquid out of the first container he immediately sealed the Tupperware and shoved it back in his school bag just in time to hear the final bell ringing.

Thank goodness schools over. Maybe if I'm in luck I might catch Ruby and her team picking up her parts at Mr. Macarren's shop.

The thought of that encounter happening in real life made the hero perk up and found himself even more motivated to leave school. Taking his school supplies off the table and back in his bag, the hooded hero was just about ready to leave with his friends when all of a sudden, the same two girls he heard from yesterday were still sitting at their chemistry table.

It was never really odd to see some students stay behind class to talk to the teacher, what was odd that they had a Scroll in front of them. He thought that they were watching another one of him saving someone in trouble, but thankfully the Scroll's volume was on high so he was able to hear what they were watching.

"We are here at the docks, the same place where the White Fang attack was first spotted in a massive attempt to steal Dust from the SDC when luckily the hero, Spider-Man, swung by and stopped them from following through with their plan. Now we're here again with over a dozen heavily injured Atlas military and Huntsmen who were protecting the docks when all of a sudden a large sand monster attacked the SDC and Hammer industries."

While the reporter was speaking the two girls began their usual gossip.

"Oh my gosh! My dad works at the docks! I didn't get a phone call yet, you think he's alright?!" The girl said as her body began to shake in fear.

"Don't worry," Her friend place a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure he's fine. Wait- I think the reporter's saying something important!"

Looking back at the screen both girls stayed silent as the news reporter started talking in a more urgent manner.

"My news team just informed me that this monster is the same villain that was on the Bugle's newspaper today calling him: The Sandman." The scroll was silent for a moment before it started to blare up again. "And just like the name in tales he seems to have a Semblance that can control sand giving us a good example as to how he was able to sneak attack security and disappear with half a dozen containers without a trace. If anyone is able to spot him make sure you call the authorities and get as far away from danger."

With that final message given by the news, the owner of the Scroll paused the video and looked back to her still shaking classmate.

"I'm sure he's fine."

"I hope he is." She said in a hushed tone followed by a scathing comment. "I can't believe they couldn't stop him. I thought Altus military was supposed to have better weapons then the rest of the kingdoms."

"I know what you mean. Even the Huntsmen were useless, and they're trained to deal with Grimm larger then themselves. I'm sure if Spider-Man was there he would've handled it all on his own."

"You're right. I just wish he was there in time, so he could have stopped Sandman."

Getting out of their chairs both girls left the room, leaving only Jaune standing still with a defeated expression on his face.

I did fight him once and he totally wiped the floor with me. If skilled soldiers and Huntsmen couldn't stop him how would I have been much help to fight Marko?

Pushing his backpack higher in his shoulder, Jaune left the classroom and started his slow trek down to his locker.

The worst part is that Flint started this crime while I was still being Jaune Arc! I can't just suddenly excuse myself from school every time I hear about something bad happening to Vale or else the people I'm close to will put things together that Spider-Man and Jaune Arc are the same!

Not even paying attention to his surrounds when he finally reached his locker. Harry and Gwen remained silent and waited for their blonde classmate to finally notice he wasn't alone.

"Jaune? Remnant to Mr. Arc, your friends are talking to you." Harry snapped his fingers to gain his friend's attention with no response.

"Ok, I've had enough." Without warning Gwen stepped closer to Jaune's left side and screamed in his ear. "JAUNE!"

"AAHHH!" Taking a step back from panic the scared teen looked between his friends before speaking. "Gwen!? Harry!? When did you guys show up?"

"We've been here before you arrived, dork." The part time camp counselor looked at her watch and back at her friend. "I just stayed here so I can tell you the great news."

"What great news?" Jaune asked her.

"I got the job!" She said with a bit of bravado. "You are now looking at Mr. Conner's new lab assistant!"

You got the job? A science job? I thought you'd be his desk worker.

"I know that look, Jaune." Harry said trying to hold his laughter. "And here I thought Gwen was just going to get another job rejection."

Not able to hold his snickering, Gwen gave Harry a nasty look in his direction then looked back down to her watch.

"Anyway, I'm about to start so I'll let you guys know how it went down tomorrow. See ya!"

Departing from her small group to start her first day as a lab assistant the two boys walked out of school intending to enjoy the rest of their day.

"My old man has to deal with some business at work, so I got the rest of the day to myself! What do you say we go watch a movie?"

"Is it something to do with the docks?"

"Who knows, he never really talks about work when he comes home. But enough about that, you up to see a movie?"

"Sorry, Harry." The secret hero said regretfully. "The shift I talked about this morning is today. I need to go straight there."

That was until Jaune remembered what the news says about the docks making the blonde boy hate that he has to lie to his best friend.

"Oh." The wealthy teen didn't even complain after he heard Jaune going to work. "Then I'll go back home. See ya at school tomorrow, Jaune." Walking away before Jaune could say good bye Harry left the young hero alone, silently hating himself for lying once again to someone he cares about.

I'm sorry Harry, but right now you and everyone in the kingdom need Spider-Man. Jaune can wait for now.

Walking to a vacant area around school, Jaune took to the locker room to change to his outfit. Now leaving as his hero alter ego, Spider-Man scooped up his belongings, jumped up on the wall of his school, and started to climb his way to the roof.

Doing another area sweep to make sure no one else was here, the web head threw his back pack underneath the school's massive metal ventilation pipes and shot a small web to keep it in place.

"Ok," Making sure both of his web shooters were placed securely on top of his costume while also keeping the firing button under his gloves, Spider-Man walked to the edge of the school and stared to Sandman's last location. "Time to go play in the sand."

"I see that you made it." Roman Torchwick commented when he saw a pile of sand moving around his secret hide out. "Does that mean you're done for the day?"

The sand soon stopped and began forming back into its original shape of a brooding Sandman.

"I still have a job to do. Right now I'm just dropping off what we got at the docks." Flint told his former boss. "The Dust is outside being taken in by the White Fang."

"I see her kids are with you too." Roman eyed her servants wearily as the two teens were talking to themselves at an empty part of the warehouse.

"They were useful to the heist. How else was I able to escape from security without the help of those two? The White Fang also helped, but only to get extra Dust that I couldn't steal."

"Glad they can be of some use other than cannon fodder." The stylish thief looked behind his ex-lackey to see some of his boys help the White Fang take in large crates of Dust. "Even if they have less members thanks to the spider they still have some blind followers to give us."

Roman also did his part in trying to recruit as many Faunus to the White Fang as he could, but with so many now siding with the hero he was lucky enough to get at least two dozen or so when he had the opportunity. But if what Cinder gave him just a few nights ago as a gift to show the Faunus as a means to sway them on their side he has no doubt more will come.

"You know, if you're done taking all that Dust maybe you can help me on something?"

"What do you have in mind?" Flint asked.

"Well, I'm just about to get some more Faunus to join the White Fang and it'd go by even better if you showed up." Seeing that Flint was giving him a skeptic look, Roman explained further. "I mean, the present she gave me is great and all, but you're much better. I'm even more surprised you didn't decide to hit it solo and do your own thing with a Semblance like yours."

"Heh." Sandman smirked at what Roman said, making the thief angry that someone that used to be a nobody thinks he's better then him. "Semblance... right. I'm not doing this for lien or power."

"Really? Then why are you still here? Someone like you could easily walk away from all this and fight off whatever they might throw at you. Why stay?"

Roman's questioned was never answered as Cinder's two minions walked up and interrupted their private talk.

"Sandman, we got another mission for you. Let's go." Mercury told him and walked away followed by his partner.

"Can't you two kiddies see that we're having an important discussion." Torchwick pointed the end of his cane at the two teens. "I thought your leader taught you proper manners."

"Sorry, Roman." Emerald spoke in a sickly-sweet voice. "But we were taught to never let the elderly hold us back."

"Old huh? Then let me teach- ergh!" Just as Roman was about to lift his cane higher in the air, Flint's hand morphed into sand and completely encased his weapon. Giving his former boss a threatening glare, Flint returned his limb to normal and turned his sights on his two temporary partners.

"Let's get this over with." Sandman told them with the green haired girl leading their way to the next destination.

"Looks like break times over." Following behind the two assassins, Flint turned around and gave Roman one last statement. "Unlike you, Roman, I'm not just doing this for myself." With his business finished he walked out of the warehouse to finish his dept to Osborn.

Wait for me, sweetie. I promise I'll come back and help you make your perfect sand castle.

I know, you all expected a show down between Sandman and Spider-Man, but I don't want it to end that quickly. A fight like this will probably span another chapter or two, but I'm sure you guys will enjoy the fight. For now, this chapter is a start to what is really about to go down and also starts to show more characters in to my story. One of them is the Enforcers, a trio of highly skilled fighters that Spider-Man fought in the beginning of his carrier. Most of you may also know that they work for The Big Man a character that will also be in the spot light, but probably later so for now they are just working for Osborn as protection.

Another thing I added is Hammer industries, a company in the Iron Man franchise, so Iron Man is confirmed to be meeting with Spider-Man soon. The reason he is not showing up is because I don't want to rush the story, Jaune still needs to fight his first supervillain before he meets Iron Man.

The web shooters have the same design as Ben Reilly he visibly wears for his costume, but I made Jaune make dust webbing first before impact webbing. I made sure Jaune made the web shooters because he is still not sure about the entire properties as Huntsmen and also since he doesn't want to have any other foreign things injected in his body. After all, he was bitten with a spider so he is uncertain if adding dust will be a good idea. I even made sure that each cartridge is labeled to different colored spiders to make sure he doesn't get confused.

And also this chapter shows about how crime is effecting Jaune while still being a civilian. That is another thing that makes him different with the rest of RWBY, Jaune is a 'normal' teen who goes to regular school, but they are Huntsmen-in-training so the do not worry about their identity. Spider-Man couldn't help people since Jaune Arc is busy with his life and at the same time Jaune can't lie and ditch the people he knows or else they will know he is Spider-Man. And like all Spider-Man comics and movies shows us is that it's hard being Spider-Man. Hope you guys like this chapter and the next one will be Spider-Man going to the docks and Sandman doing another heist, with a surprise group of people who meets him.

If I am leaving any other unanswered question please feel free to comment and leave a fav and like!
