Wow.
Okay, so here's how the day played out. I was hanging out on top of the Daily Bugle building...y'know, just for kicks, when I hear the door to the access stairway open.
Who is it?
Take a guess.
"Spider-Man!"
"Oh, hey, Jameson! Now it's a party!"
Jameson had come outside to puff on his cigar, though I dunno why he didn't just do it in his office like he always does. So he threw his cigar to the ground and rushed over to me.
"What are you doing loitering on my building?!"
"Oh what, I don't get special privileges 'cuz I saved your life yesterday?" I snapped back.
He didn't take kindly to that remark. "I told you it didn't change a thing!"
I finally had it with him. "Are you joking?" I shouted. "I've saved your life at least a dozen times over! You need to think hard about badmouthing me anymore, Jameson, 'cuz I'm tired of hearing all this crap come outta your mouth and into your paper! If you don't think I saved you because I'm a good freakin' person, then fine! Don't expect anymore help from me next time you're kidnapped from some crazy person!" I turned to leave.
"You know what they say," he said, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
I pretended that I didn't hear him. I mean, really--I think I'm right in saying that a guy needs a break! I just want him to admit that I'm humble and selfless and that I am not a fraud, glory-hog, and whatever other words he used to describe me! Like public enemy! Yeah! Do public enemies go off and save people that openly hate you?
I think not.

But you know you're doing the right thing, Tiger. Doesn't that count for something?

You must understand Jameson's point of view. Do you really think it will be that easy? I mean...it's all very complicated, I'm sure.

A/N: This is in response (again) to Ace Detective. I would appreciate a message from you when you do make an account. We can speak of the Legion then, as you requested. And, by the way, nice touch by not giving me your email. Like to play the mysterious not-so-super hero, do you?
