Hey guys It's Lokile with another chapter of Shattered Honor. On with the show!

"But, uh, where would those guys even be hiding?" I thought quickly realizing that I had no idea where they could possibly be, I look toward the sky trying to get an idea until I saw that spider guy swinging around. "Maybe he can lead me to them. Gotta catch up before I lose him!"
Putting on the mask, I run right after him, almost losing him a couple times but I managed to follow him to a... recycling center? "These guys are seriously using a recycling center as a base of operations? You've gotta be fucking kidding me!"
While Spiderman knocked some of the ones he could see out or just webbed them up and attached them to walls, I 'Blinked' behind a guard and slit his throat. "Should've let the bastard suffer more." I thought picking up the body and dumping it in a nearby dumpster before moving on to my next target.
Unfortunately he was next to another guard. "No avoiding a fight is there? Not like I wasn't expecting it anyway."
'Blinking' behind one of them, I stab him right in the heart and threw his body into the other guy making him stumble. But before I could kill him too, my hand was caught by a web?! "Crap, I forgot about the spider weirdo!"
"What are you doing?!" Spider-man said, anger clear in his voice at my actions.
"What anyone would, killing these bastards!" I yelled, using my aura to rip apart the webbing and stab my blade right into the thug's heart. Just as I took my blade out of the corpse I was hit in the back with a punch that felt like it could break my back if I didn't have aura. "What's this guy's problem anyway, I'm doing his job for him!" I thought struggling to get up because of the pain.
"Why did you kill them?!" He said, growing more and more furious by the second. Deciding to fight back I threw my sword at him only for him dodge. Right in to my fist that is.
As he was recovering from the blow, I used 'Blink' to go over and grab my sword and tried to leave using another one but it wasn't working. " Does this thing need to charge or something?!"
"Aw shit!" I said turning around only to see a punch going right for my face that I couldn't even dodge.
Getting back up, I swing my sword at him only for him to flip over it and land a hard kick on my face. Stumbling back I swing wildly trying to get him to back away from me. This only worsened my situation however as he disarmed me and punched me in the stomach. Looking over at my mark I started pouring my aura into it hoping it would charge. "Come on, come on, hurry up and charge already."
"So are you going to talk now?" He said, unaware I was about escape from right under his nose.
-Spider-man's POV-
As I'm waiting for an answer from the murderer, I notice the mark on his hand begin to glow and then suddenly he was gone along with his sword with no trail at all. "Dammit! How did he even do that! Wait, that mark on his hand, didn't I see that on that kid's hand from the graveyard?"
Me and Yuri need to talk. Using my mask interface to call her, I start swinging around the city to see if I could find him again.
"Hello?"
"Yuri it's me, we need to talk right now." I said urgency clear in my voice..
"About what?" She said curious as to what I'm calling her for.
"I just met a guy in a mask, that looks like it was made of scrap and had this weird mark on his hand. Do you know anyone like that?"
"No none at all. I'll check the database to find out more."
"Alright, talk to you later Yuri." I said ending the call. "Maybe he was the same kid from the graveyard, it's no small coincidence that two people with same tattoo appear in the same day. Maybe I could get MJ to help investigate too.
-Jaune's POV-
"That was close, way too close. I need to train harder if I'm ever going to fight that guy again." I thought, looking at my bloodied blade. "And apparently magical things need to recharge too, who would've thought."
'Bump'
Was that the heart? Pulling it out my pocket, I notice it was indeed beating and the glass in the center glowed every so often. "Does that mean I'm close to a rune or a bone charm?"
Focusing on the heart, a misty orange object is revealed to be on top of a building nearby. Running into the alley so nobody could see me, I use blink to hop to a staircase across the building then blinked onto it. Putting the heart away I see a ornament with tribal markings on it.
"This has to be a bone charm." I thought, before hearing an odd sound emit from it. "The hell?!"
Suddenly, I was in an entirely different place from the city or the Void. I was in an old run down store. Appearing before me was the bone charm and a piece of paper. It said that this charm would make me swing faster than normal when equipped.
"What the hell is this place?!"
"This is my shop, young one."
Jumping back with a totally manly yell ( girly scream), I put my hands up ready to fight only to see an old and hunched over man with a wooden cane staring at me with his eyebrows raised.
"Oh, sorry my names Jaune Arc what's yours?" I spoke after getting over my fright.
"I am just an old man and you are in my shop." He spoke, his voice stern reminding me of grandfather before he died.
"I didn't come here on purpose!"
"I know you didn't boy." He said, his eyes shining with mischief. "The charm brought you here didn't it?"
"Y-Yeah how did you know?" I said thinking I was the only one besides the Outsider that could possibly know about the charms.
"I was a mark bearer like you are now." He answered
"So I'm not the only one that the Outsider was 'interested' in." I thought. "But what happens when he gets bored of me?"
"I bet you're wondering what this place is and why you were brought here." The man spoke as if he knew all my questions already. "This place is separate world to your own like the Void but you can alone be brought here by listening the song of the bone charms. Here you can inspect and use your bone charms to improve your natural and supernatural powers, also take off that damn mask while your here."
Realizing that I did indeed have the mask on still, I took it off. Turning back to the bone charm on the table, I took it up and put it in my overly stuffed pockets.
"Here kid, you'll need it with all the stuff your carrying." He said handing me a dark purple coat and a bandolier.
"Ah thanks but I don't think I got your name." I said
"That's because I never gave it to you, now get outta here!" He said just as the world shifted and I was back were I was with the coat and all.
"Well that was an experience, but where the hell am I going to sleep!" I thought just before my stomach growled. "And what am I going to eat?!
Looking around I notice a bakery nearby. "Maybe I could steal some food from that bakery with my powers."
-Night time-
"Finally it closed, I'm starving to death." I thought stomach growling even louder than before. Blinking next to the building with my new suit on, I try to find a way to get in quietly and not trigger the alarm. "Over there the power box!
Wrenching open the power box with my sword, I saw some wires but I didn't know which one to cut. "One all else fails cut the red one."
Praying internally that it was the right one, I cut the wire and no alarm was triggered. Breaking the lock on the front door, I grabbed some pastries and left before anyone would notice me. "Mission complete. 1 point to Jaune Arc! I thought chowing down on the delicious treats. "But where am I going to stay? Maybe in an abandoned building, every city has at least one."
Finishing up the pastries and with a new objective in mind I wander around looking for a place to stay. And wander, and wander, and wander, and wander until 2 hours later, I found a abandoned apartment. Walking in I notice the cobwebs, the occasional roach and the lack of any mattress. "Just like the places I used to stay in after I ran away from home. Anyway it's time to get some sleep."
-Morning-
"Good morning me." I said to no one because, y'know no one's here but me.
"Where am I going to find more of the lunatics? Can't just hope Spider-man will guide me to them a second time." I thought stretching. "Maybe I can skim some information off civilians about this city so I can narrow down where they could be.
Nodding to myself, I begin to explore the city out of suit of course starting with the largest buildings I could find. Soon enough I saw a huge tower with an 'A' on it. Deciding to ask about it I got the attention of the first person I saw.
"Hey, do you know what that tower with the 'A' is?"
"Your joking right?" The boy said. Now that I think about isn't this the same kid I followed to the ceremony?
"I am supposed to know?" I said as my only pathetic defense against his statement.
"It's the Avengers' tower, the world's mightiest heroes." He said after getting over his disbelief.
"Also do you know any homeless shelters I could stay at?" I said, hoping he would know a place.
"Yeah, I do. I could take you there if you want." He said
"Yeah that would be great." I replied. "Oh by the way what's your name, I'm Jaune Arc."
"Miles, Miles Morales." He said still leading me. "So how did you lose your home?"
"I got evicted from my apartment because I couldn't pay my bills." I made up on the spot. Hopefully he doesn't see past it.
"Oh we're here." Finally becoming aware of the building in front of me, I look up to see the gigantic FEAST sign on it. "FEAST huh, better be having a feast just for me."
Entering with Miles, I quickly become surrounded by other homeless people, a lot of them being very old. Waving at them as I walked past them, I eventually come up to an old lady with brown hair and brown eyes.
"Uh, excuse me ma'am are you the one in charge here?" I said, with my social awkwardness deciding to rear its ugly head once again.
"Why yes I am, my name is May Parker." She said, brown eyes shining with unbelievable kindness.
"Yeah, um, I'm new here and I was hoping I could stay here for a while until I can get myself situated." I said hoping she would let me stay here for a while.
"Why didn't you say so earlier! This a homeless shelter, we're meant to help the homeless!" She said, inadvertently making me feel pretty stupid for thinking they wouldn't accept me in.
"My name's Jaune Arc by the way." I said just remembering that I forgot to introduce myself. "It's a pleasure to meet you ."
"You too Jaune, you too." She replied before someone ran over.
"Aunt May, have you seen Mr. Li anywhere?" It's the guy from the funeral. "I should apologize."
"No I haven't seen him in a while." She said
"Alright then- oh wait it's you! That guy from the funeral!" Peter said, surprised that he met me again.
"Yeah, it's me. Sorry about brushing you off back there, I wasn't in the best place." I apologized.
"Don't sweat it. So are you going to introduce yourself this time?" He said with a grin.
"Sure, the name's Jaune Arc." I said, extending a hand out to shake.
"Peter, Peter Parker." He said accepting the handshake.
What I didn't know then was I shaked hands with one of the greatest men I've ever met and my greatest enemy.
