A few several minutes later (NY traffic) they arrived at the Silver Spoon Cafe (A coffee shop near midtown)

But Ben stopped May before she could get out of the car. "May, are you...ok?" She giving him a confused look."I'm fine, couldn't be better." She replied in a monotone voice. He could tell she was hiding something. He put his hand on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly. "No, you're not, what's going on?" She remained quiet for some time. Until Ben was brave enough to ask "May, you can tell me." May's face slowly turning from normal to distressed, tears welling up in her eyes, and then she dove her head in to Ben's chest, wrapping her arms around his back.

Ben simply hugged her back, and held her there for a couple minutes."May, what's wrong?"

She was still sobbing in his arms. "I just got our house bills in the mail yesterday, We need so much money in order to even keep Peter in school! I don't know what we're going to do, and I'm just so afraid of going back to the way things used to be. Ben lifted up her face toward his to look at her.

Listen to me, that's never going to happen, not while I'm here. Ok? Grabbing a handkerchief from the glove compartment, and wiping her eyes, straightened up her jacket, and put her purse around her. "Thanks Ben." She said wiping the tears from her eyes.

Ben grabbed the top of her head and pulled it close to his, so that they were at eye level. "Listen, leave that stuff to me, alright?" May simply nodded.

"Alright, have a great day at work." then he gave her a kiss on her forehead. May opened the car door, and stepped out of the vehicle "I will." Closing the door, she casually waved goodbye, Ben responding with a two-fingered salute, and drove off. And with that emotion behind her, May turned around, took a deep breath, and went inside to work.

Ben went on to his job at the Daily Bugle, going through the front desk of the building, riding the elevator up to the top floor, and began walking to his desk

And saying good morning to his coworkers along the way, including: Betty Brant, Ben Urich, Joe Robertson and he couldn't forget his boss which normally he would say hello too, but he would probably get yelled at in the process. but Jonah at this time was already yelling at someone, a young freelance photographer by the looks of him.

Ben kinda felt bad for the guy to be honest.

Then after reaching his desk, taking a seat and laying his cellphone on his desk. But before getting to work, he decided to send a message to his siblings texting them: Little bro, little sis, hang in there, i'm gonna work even harder than ever before! So don't worry about bills or anything like that from now on, got it? I love you guys. *Beep* Sent.

"Hopefully that will put May at ease" He thought to himself, giving a small smile at the same time.

He then noticed that same photographer he saw earlier, was getting chased out to the elevator by Jonah himself. Yelling the whole way, holding a handful of crunched photos in his hand, and with a face so red with anger it looked as if his head was going to explode. Betty and Phil were too busy watching the show to focus on work. And Robertson was just sitting at his desk, just slowly shaking his head back and forth.

The whole encounter ended when the terrified teenager pressing the elevator buttons as quickly as he could, with the doors closing soon after. Thus after that event, their boss turned around to face them, with some of the anger he had flowing away, and his face color going back to a more normal skin tone. He than seemed to scan the room, and suddenly saw that one of his employee's had showed up out of nowhere.

He then looked at the room again. Noticing this, everyone quickly went back to work or else they might get an earful from their boss. He seemed to calm down a little bit after seeing his employees working again. Then he started walking over to Ben's desk. Ben was typing at his computer only to be surprised by a hand slamming onto his desk. That same hand belonged to his boss, who didn't seem very happy to see him.

Jonah eyed him for a few seconds "You're late, why?" he said with a bit of annoyance in his voice. Ben wasn't one for lying, so he decided to be honest "Just have a Family to take care of" Telling him with a serious tone. "Good man" then leaving him to continue work, throwing the crunched photos in to Ben's trash can in the process.

At the time Peter got his older brother's text, he was already about to get on the bus, He pulled out his phone, and took a couple of steps only to suddenly become well acquainted with the bus floor. He picked up his phone, and slowly got up noticing the foot that tripped him belonged to Flash Thompson, to no one's surprise he had this big stupid smirk on his face. "Man Pete, you should really watch were you step. You know?" Some of the other students chuckled a bit at his remark.

Peter gave him the angriest look he could muster, and then preceded through the bus, on his way to the back, he saw the new transfer student that came to the school recently, but the spot next to her was already taken. (Dang) But then he saw Gwendolyne Stacy in the back, and boy was he happy to see her. He could easily tell it was Gwen, because of her short blonde hair and Her red glasses. Gwen was a good friend of Peter's. They met back in during Jr high, and the rest is history. Pete sat down next to her "Hey Gwen" "Hey Pete" she responded in a shy but upbeat voice. "Are you excited?" She asked "Am I?" Peter quickly exclaimed, and then began to ramble on why he was so excited.

Chapter End


Next Time: The Origin (Yoooooooooooo!)

Alright, next time is going to be way better and longer! I'm not gonna focus too much on the origin,(Because almost everybody knows about Spidey's origin) it's mostly going to be the differences between this Fanfic, and the Original story (Amazing Fantasy #15) but it will have it's iconic moments and homages (who knows I may just include some stuff from Spider-man:Learning to Crawl) who knows really. Well this afterword is getting pretty long so, i'll cut it short here.

Thank you all for reading! See ya next time, True Believers!
