We see a large room, not gigantic, but lots of free space inside. Lots of windows are there,

most of them are open, but our attention shifts to something else. There's an empty desk, well,

almost empty, with none other than Mr. Lincoln sat at it. He has a white, terrifying face, always

wearing formal clothing such as a suit and tie. But nevermind that. The open windows are about to become a lot more important…

Thump.

Spidey swung through one of the windows to land on the ground very softly, very quietly. Mr. Lincoln immediately shifted his attention to where the sound came from, which happened to be right where Spidey was standing.

"What the?" Said Tombstone, clearly possessing multiple simultaneous emotions. Spidey leaped up onto the desk, close and personal.

"Alright, you've probably heard of me. Spider-Man." He said, kinda menacingly.

"I have, in fact. How did you find me?" Responded Tombstone. Spider-Man replied with,

"One of your muscle-not-brain goons spilled after their exhaustion caused them to forget that it's secret." Tombstone was impressed.

"So you have brains too." That's what he was impressed with. Spidey now had confirmation that this guy was indeed the Big Man, the guy that had been sending all those super-villains his way.

"What do you want from me?" He stomped his foot on the desk as he said this, almost snapping it in half. Tombstone looked at the Highly-Visible cracks, seemingly annoyed, then looked back up to the Web-Slinger.

"I want you to join me." he then said. Max was confused.

"W-What?" He asked, proving his confusion. Tombstone then went into greater detail.

"I want you to join me and my team." Max now understood what he meant, but not his motivations.

"But, why?" Tombstone was getting annoyed, so just explained all the details at once.

"Ever since I heard about you, I've been watching you. All of your movements were so fluid, your combat skills were terrific, you had a sense of humour that the rest of my team were seemingly lacking. I wanted you to join me, but I couldn't just let you on the spot. I needed to test you. That's why I've been sending all of these villains at you, to test you. Now that you have found me, you have proven you are ready. Now before you ask why you'd want to join me, I'll tell you now." He took out a suitcase and opened it to reveal it filled with money, "I'll pay you a handsome salary, irresistible. But before you join us, you have to do me a favour." Max was beginning to decide on accepting, so said,

"What?"

"First, fight no crime for one week. By the end of that period, you will have officially joined. When you have, I will tell you when to look the other way and when to take action, but on any occasion I choose." That motivation of accepting was dropped out of the rooms window, left to plummet down to the streets below.

"Sorry, but I can't accept." Said Spidey, this was his heroic side shining through to show the sacrifices Max must go through. "I've learned in the past that looking the other way is a horrific mistake, so I can't accept your offer." Tombstone looked annoyed that he resisted that, but hid it well.

"Hmph. Very well." After that, Spidey leaped out the window and swung away.

The End
