Reunion Adventure

Cajun Strong Man

After meeting with The Prowler, we headed back to the Waldorf Astoria to pick up the twins.

After picking up the twins (Mary Jane, May) and headed off to visit the graves of Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Mary Jane.

When I got there, I saw that Johnny was there. He was there doing the thing that I had asked him to do. He was doing the upkeep on the three graves.

I walked up behind him and said, "Guess Who?"

He said, " Is it my favorite wall-crawler?"

I said, " You Got it."

He turned around and saw me and the family.

I said, "I want to say a few words to the dearly departed."

He stepped back..

I went to Uncle Ben's grave and said, "Uncle Ben, you taught me a lot in terms of life and how to be a hero. The most important thing was that "With great power also comes great responsibility." At the time, I did not understand it. That was until I met Keene Marlow.. He had told me the story about how he became the Destroyer. At the end of the story, he had said that he learned the lesson of "With great power, there must also come great responsibility."

I then moved over to Aunt May's grave and I took Thelma May with me.

I said, "Aunt May, there were many times that I wished I could have told you I was Spider-Man. It was to dangerous for me to do so, while you were alive. I did this because I wanted to protect you. There were a few times that it did not work that way. I wanted to say I now have a family." Pointing to Thelma May I said, "This is my daughter. She is your great-niece. In honor of you, I made her middle name your first name."

I, then, knelt at Mary-Jane's grave. Along with me I had Barbara and Mary-Jane.

I said, " MJ I mourned you for three years. There were times that I thought I would not be able to move on. Then, fate took me to another earth and I met someone. Let me amend this, the first time I met my future second wife, she was in serious trouble. Someone very evil was about to shoot her and I rescued her. "

I continued, "A few years later I married this lady." I pointed at Barbara.

I went on to say, "This," Pointing at Mary Jane, "is my daughter Mary Jane."

I continued, "I know what you would be thinking, Peter, You have surrounded yourself with redheaded women. Well, You are correct ma'am."

After I had finished, speaking, Johnny Storm said, "Peter, do you know that Keen Marlowe's grave is on the other side of the graveyard."

I asked him to take us to the grave.

When we did go there, we saw that there was a young woman standing at the grave. Warren told me that this was The Destroyer. He also said that she was a distant cousin.

I went up to her and said, "Hello, I am Peter Parker."

She said, "Oh, you helped him out when the Red Scull hatched his "Doomsday" plot."

I said, "Yes, and he helped me out."

She asked, "How?"

I went on to tell her the story about how her cousin and my uncle were friends just before World War II. I also said that they fell for the same woman. Uncle Ben could not compete with the fact that Keen was a real super hero. Through the death of his wife, Keen learned "With great power there must come great responsibility." I went on to say that I learned that lesson the hard way when my Uncle, who I considered to be my father, was killed.

I bent down in front grave, said a few words of thanks, got up and left with my family.
