Chapter 20

Beloved Charity Leader turned Crazed Murderer

In a shocking turn of events, the vicious attack on the Mayor's Campaign Rally two weeks ago by the crazed individual who has since identified himself as Mr. Negative has in fact been revealed as Henry Creel. The founder and former leader of F.E.A.S.T. was exposed via photographs taken during the incident which show him in both personas. What is known about the situation so far is that Creel was removed from his position a few days before the attack and that Mayor Osborn seemed to be the intended target, suggesting a revenge motive.

There were fears from many that F.E.A.S.T. would be shut down by this startling revelation but following an impassioned speech from Joyce Byers. However Mayor Osborn responded with a speech in which he announced that he saw no reason for F.E.A.S.T. to suffer since Creel was no longer affiliated with F.E.A.S.T. when he made the attack on the campaign rally. The Mayor also officially had Ms. Byers made the actual head of the F.E.A.S.T. building, instead of acting head.

A vigil is due to be held in honour of the victims who perished in the attack and-

Will sighed and closed the copy of the Bugle and put it aside. There was some relief to be had, he knew, in the news that F.E.A.S.T. would still be operating as normal, his mom was now in charge there and yet even with all that, he had a lot of issues to deal with right now.

'I still can't believe this, Mr. Creel is...how could it have come to this?' He wondered. 'How did he get those powers and why is he so...worked up over Osborn. This isn't just about him being fired from F.E.A.S.T. by Osborn, there's something deeper here.'

Shaking his head he stood up and began to prepare to head out. After a moment's consideration he made up his mind and began getting his suit ready, he was going to head out as Spider-Man and maybe get a patrol done. Maybe a chance to clear his head. Just then his phone beeped and he saw it was a message from Mike, expressing relief that F.E.A.S.T. was staying open too.

Will bit his lip. 'Mike...I need to think how I'm going to talk to you too...I still can't stop thinking about it, that kiss.'

With a heavy sigh, he pulled his mask on and leapt out from his window and swung away.

Meanwhile, laying back on his bed, simply passing time trying to calm down and relax, Mike listened to his music through his headphones. He was indeed relieved that all the hard work done at F.E.A.S.T. in helping the homeless would not be undone by the shocking revelations that Mr. Creel and the crazed villainous Mr. Negative were one and the same, worse he seemed to have gathered followers who were aiding him in this endeavour.

Mike's mind raced at the implications. 'Does this, does this mean things are gonna get more dangerous lately...I mean...Those psychos are still out there. Even if we managed to keep F.E.A.S.T. open, could things be.'

He quickly pushed the thoughts aside, he couldn't do himself any good by thinking things like that. He just had to be careful.

'Will, what am I gonna say to him, especially after I, after Spider-Man and I…?' He began to think to himself.

He suppressed a groan and simply turned up the volume of his music, trying to drown out the thoughts. He didn't want to have to deal with this right now.

XXXXX

Max couldn't help but smile as she lost herself in Lucas, the two of them kissing again and again in the shadow of the tree by her house.

"Max, we should uh-" Lucas began as they parted.

"Oh no, not yet." She said with a laugh.

She pulled him in for another, deeper kiss which Lucas enthusiastically responded to. They were forced to part however by a mocking voice.

"Well, well, look what we've got here, some dirty punk getting his filthy hands all over my little sister."

They turned and Max glared. "Billy, don't start with your shit, I'm not interested in your thoughts and you know it."

Billy glared and began to speak. "Oh really, well maybe-"

"Hey, we're not interested, now, if you'll excuse us." Lucas said. "We've got things to discuss for our next date."

"Like hell you're dating my sister, I-"

"We are dating and have been for a while." Max snapped. "I understand that's hard for your to get your head around."

Lucas snickered. "He can barely keep a girl for a day let alone weeks."

"You stupid little-!" Billy snarled.

They flinched as he began to advance on them, only for a web to suddenly spring out and snare his feet, tripping him.

"Whoops, watch that step there, cowboy?" Came the quip from Spider-Man who was sitting back in the tree.

Max and Lucas were surprised by this, but then laughed and grinned. Spider-Man waved to them and they headed off while he tripped Billy up once more.

"Hey, you-!"

"You should be a bit more careful and learn not to be a bully." Spider-Man warned Billy. "I have bigger fish to fry, okay."

With that he swung away, leaving Billy fuming and determined to get revenge somehow.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
