"Hi there, folks. Let's start, shall we? My name is Peter Benjamin Parker, though some people just call me Pete. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the last five years, I've been the one and only Spider Man, even though I'm not the only spider person of New York, surprising enough-"

"Hey, Spidey!"

"Don't interrupt the intro!" Peter sighed as a black and pink blur swung by in the background. "Okay, so that's Ghost Spider. She's pretty much a carbon copy of me - a rebellious neighbourhood spider woman, to be exact. She's not the only guardian of New York though, there's also the Heroes For Hire, and the Avengers. Oh, and who can forget all mighty S.H.I.E.L.D."

"You done with your monologue? Cause I heard that Tombstone's picking a fight with Hammerhead at Times Square." Ghost Spider asked, perching on a nearby railing. Her outfit had

"...fine, I'll do the introduction on the way."

"Race you there!" Ghost Spider laughed as she fired off a web and swung away.

"As I was saying..." Spider Man groaned as he leapt off the building. "On one hand, I've survived college and got a internship at Horizon Labs-"

"For real?" Peter stared at the lab around him as his mentor put a hand over his shoulder.

"Welcome to the crew, Peter."

"-fell in love, and broke her heart-"

"You're kidding, right?" She struggled to hold back tears.

"I'm sorry, but...it's for your sake." He forced himself to say the lame excuse, as she ran away in tears, leaving Peter alone in the rain.

"- and even though Uncle Ben has seen better days, I'll never forget the smile he had when he and May joined F.E.A.S.T.. On the other hand, I've helped save the city from street gangs, bank robbers, the usual stuff - and on occasion also the freakishly popular criminal streamer, cat burglars, andelemental monstrosities, but we don't talk about them."

"This, has been my story so far. And now, its time for the next chapter..."

The spider duo arrived to see the gang war in progress. The sound of sirens and gunshots were the only things audible aside from the civilians running for cover.

"Holy - and I thought things were bad the last time when Screwball decided to host her own literal hackathon." Peter muttered as he skimmed through the battlefield. Bikers were rumbling around waving shotguns while 1930s style mob enforcers brandished machine guns behind broken debris.

The police on the other hand, looked like they were exhausted. Between covering for the civilians who were in the crossfire and trying to take out as many henchmen as possible, it was almost never ending.

"This is a whole new level of danger." Ghost Spider quipped as they landed near a police barricade. "And I like it!"

"10-32, requesting backup, now!" A loud shout caught Spider Man's attention, and he whistled Ghost Spider to follow.

"Spider Man!" George Stacy greeted the webslinger. "And - Ghost Spider." He added redundantly, as Ghost Spider landed behind him. "We've got about fifty crooks in total, and ten of my men are down for the count." A violent explosion went off, as he ducked to avoid the flying debris. "Need a clear path through this mess, and fast."

"And a path is what you get, Lieutenant." Ghost Spider smirked as she produced a web line and swung off, quickly wrapping cars and benches to one side.

"Wish I could give a piece of my mind or two to her." Captain Stacy mumbled as he reloaded.

"Why? She helps out with getting the bad guys caught."

"She's not as tidy or helpful as you, though." Captain Stacy pointed out. "Everytime she gets involved I end up with double the paperwork."

"Ah. Understood." Spider Man saluted before swinging into the melee. Webbing up several gang members, he took a glance to see Ghost Spider acrobatically leap over several bikers and parrying back with quick blows.

"I now see why the Lieutenant is so wary of you." Spider Man noted as he swung over his webbed enemies, which Ghost Spider kicked unconscious.

"Tell him I still owe him that mug I broke during Screwball's hackathon." Ghost Spider retorted back as she scanned the battlefield. "There! Our brains in action."

Turning towards Ghost Spider's direction, he saw two men duking against each other. One of them a large pale-skinned man with razor-sharp teeth, wrestling against the other's machine gun that rapid fired.

"You got nerve, Lonnie!" The other shouted before headbutting the albino. "But you ain't got what it takes after the Pride!"

"Oh yeah? Well take this!" The albino roared as he recovered and threw a punch. Before either of them could do anything, the spider-duo landed in-between. "Alright, playtime's over!" Spiderman called out. "So we can do this the easy way-!"

"Shut up!" Both criminals shouted as they charged, forcing both heroes to leap over them, causing a collision.

"Well, plan A is out of the window." Ghost Spider commented as they landed. "Time for plan B."

And with that, the spider-duo went to work, with Spider Man against Tombstone, and Ghost Spider against Hammerhead.

The albino took on the brunt of Spidey's strikes before he retaliated with a strong punch. Spider man grunted as he webbed towards a lamp post before swinging back and burying his feet into Tombstone's chest, sending him flying past Ghost Spider, who had been leaping out of Hammerhead's bullet storm.

"I'll take that, thank you very MUCH!" She webbed the machine gun out of the mobster's hands before swinging it into Hammerhead's head, which admittedly didn't do much, until she hurled herself into his ribs and sent him into a trash can.

"And this, is a gift from me." She quipped before hurling a small metallic orb. It exploded colorfully, leaving a cloud of smoke as Hammerhead found himself electrocuted and webbed up.

"Hey, how'd you get one of those fancy gadgets? No fair!" Spider Man shouted.

"I got spare time, made it myself." Ghost Spider replied proudly before webbing Tombstone's leg and tried to knock him down, but he managed to overpower her and reeled in the heroine. "Ouch!"

"C'Mon, gimme a fight!" Tombstone taunted, preparing to stomp her, before another web hit his other foot and sent him splattering to the ground.

"You know, we love to, but some of us got to run." Spiderman replied Ashe landed on Tombstone's back before webbing him up. "Catch you later!" He waved to Ghost Spider who was getting up before swinging off in a hurry.

"Alright, Tombstone, you've got about ten seconds before-" She began before she got her own message rang, and as Lieutenant Stacy came over, his eyes widened at the caller.

"Uh, sorry, Lieutenant, gotta go, I take it you can deal with this?"

"Sure thing, Ghost Spider." Stacy grinned as he pulled out a pair of cuffs. "And you, Mr. Lincoln, are going to jail, but maybe we can work out a way to reduce your bail..."
