Happy Year! Just another quick thank you and some answers to some questions.

Gromm asked what race Liz is, along with a second question I won't answer (sorry) and if this set in any universe in particular. Liz is the version from Spider-Man Homecoming. Secondly, this story is set in my own world that I'm hoping to be able to expand on in the future. (More notes at the bottom)

(Sorry for taking so long, I got sick just when I was going to hopefully finish this up -Jan 31)

The next day Peter woke up after playing video games with Harry for the whole night. He checked his phone to see it was 11:31. Wow, Peter thought. He had not sleep in so late for months now. Being Spider-Man made sleeping not so good, causing him to be awfully sleepy every day.

Peter was inside a guest room that he had stayed in every single time he visited Harry. It was crazy for Peter that even the guest room was larger and nicer than his own room, though he still did prefer his own room.

Peter's hair was a complete mess. It looked like something right out of a disaster movie. This did tend to happen more now because Peter did not have his hair cut in about five months. A haircut was definitely on the priority list.

Peter brushed his hair, briefly just so it would not be completely horrific. He exited the guest room walking towards the large living room. He saw Harry sitting on the couch on his phone.

"Hey thought you'd never get up," Harry said.

"What do you mean? How long did ya sleep for?"

"Six, seven hours. We only went to sleep by like one. Sleeping in is overrated."

"Um, alright. That's new." Peter said wondering how much he did know about Harry.

"Hey look at this," Harry said giving Peter his phone.

It was a news article written by the Daily Bugle about a robber that ransacked multiple stores overnight. He seemed to have super speed as apparently, the thief did this in only about two hours. Police were going to be investigating this further.

So this is what happens when I have a great night off, noted, Peter thought.

Peter gave Harry back his phone after finishing looking at the article. It was also surprising to Peter that Harry cared about the news. At least he never really brought it up. Peter tended to be the one more interested in what was happening in the world, now that did not seem to be the case.

"I bet ya it's a mutant," Harry said.

"Why's that?" Peter asked.

"Well, you know mutants are kinda freaks, so wouldn't be shocking for one of those things want to do some bad shit. Heck, I'm shocked this hasn't happened more often."

Peter was surprised by this as well, which had seemed to have been becoming a pattern by now.

"What about Spider-Man? what if he's a mutant?" Peter asked. He was hoping Harry did not change his views on, well himself.

"Well, at least we know he's a hero, and he's gotta be a mutant, how else could he have superpowers? Also, he's unlike those other mutants that formed a team or something. How do we know they aren't going to kill us all?!"

"I think you're watching too many movies Harry," Peter said, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, you're right and besides super speed would be awesome! You could just like zoom into the girls locker room and nobody would ever know!" Harry said looking back at his phone

"Very mature," Peter said.

As Harry was distracted by his phone, Peter decided to check up more about this robber, who left a note at the last store he hit saying, "You can refer to me as The Speed Demon. Catchy, Peter thought.

Peter checked a more reliable site then Harry did when researching this guy. Apparently, it was only suspected he might be a mutant. A source said it was a man with a super suit, just like the man Peter referred to as Boomerang.

I bet Speedy Gonzales here is also working for the Kingpin. Seems to be better at what he's doing though. Still, where do you get a super suit? From Stark? No, that's dumb, why would he be in cahoots with Iron Man? It doesn't matter, I gotta stop this guy before someone gets hurt. But how do I find him? And what about Harry? I wish things were easier. wouldn't it be great to have this guy just come to me? Ahhh I don't know what to do.

Elsewhere

James was inside a warehouse looking over his "score." It was surely over one million in total.

He was waiting for Fisk to come down and see the earnings. James thought it was odd that Mr. Fisk wanted this money considering his company made so much, but he learned to not ask questions like that.

After taking a smoke break, James saw Fisk coming in a black unmarked car, along with another just like that behind him.

Fisk's driver named Wesley got out of the car going to open Fisk's door. Three men got out of the other car. James recognized them as The Enforcers, Mr. Fisk's top people, Montana, Fancy Dan and Ox.

"Good work James, Fisk said approaching him.

"Thank you, sir," James replied.

"I thought I might bring along The Enforcers due to Silvermane knowing about my business, but I just had to see your magnificent suit with my own eyes. It would seem my investment paid off. Please, show me how it works." Fisk said staring at James.

"Oh yes, I 've got the suit in my trunk sir, one moment. James went off to put on his suit, it was a bit difficult to put it on. He zoomed in front of Fisk, holding his helmet, he did not find it necessary to put it on.

"Impressive speed, the power you have is incredible. Yes, we'll need more suits. James, I need you to test the suit again tonight. The same area, it's my turf, but still tread carefully. And do not let the cops or any vigilantes stop you. I'll have my man give you the details, till then show me what we have."

"Of course sir," James said leading Fisk and his enforces into the warehouse.

Later, elsewhere

Peter and Harry were continuing to play video games, Harry had all the best ones due to his wealth. They chatted and chatted for a while, but after eating lunch prepared by Harry's butler. Peter was thinking about an excuse so he could leave to stop Speedy Gonzales and not have Harry question where he was going.

"Hey uh Harry, listen I think I'm going to go back home soon just to see Aunt May before she leaves and uh stay there for the night," Peter said, grabbing his phone.

"That's fine ya gotta be there for your aunt. Besides dad's coming back tonight after sleeping at Ozcorp last night, so that'll be fun," Harry replied, going back towards his living room away from the dining room.

"Listen, Harry, I'm really sorry. I-"

"I know you gotta be there for her. Ya wouldn't wanna be here anyway, he has been consumed by his work. We just sit at the dinner table in silence, it's pretty boring. Maybe I'll be lucky and get to go eat in my room."

Peter sat in silence.

"Eh, why so quiet Pete?"

"Just feel like a jerk."

"Why? At least only one of us has to be bored, huh. Besides, I didn't tell ya, but." Harry posed.

"But?"

"I got myself an invite to a party. Don't think I'd be able to go leaving you here."

"Why couldn't you take me with you?

Harry laughed. "It's Flash's Party. Ya think he'd want you there?"

"Fair enough. You never mentioned you were pals with Flash Thompson."

"We're not. I only went to one of his party's a couple weeks ago. I didn't want to make you jealous."

Never had a problem before, Peter thought.

Peter left Harry's house. Harry offered to let Bernard drive him home. Peter declined saying he preferred to take the bus, however, he was going to swing home and just do a quick patrol on his way.

He suited up carrying his backpack on his back.

Ah, it's nice to go out for a swing on the town. Peter thought as he was practicing his swinging and fighting the air around a large building.

Oy, it's a nice day and I'm trying to find criminals to stop. I should be hanging with Harry or better yet be with Liz, but no! I'm out punching and kicking the air like an idiot. Peter sighed. I just oughta swing around still and make sure there are no crimes afoot and then go home.

Peter swung away from the building he was looking for something to do. A few swings and blocks later Peter saw a bunch of people crowded around something. Better check that out. He thought.

As Peter approached the crowd he could see a woman on the ground with another younger women crouched over her.

"Hello gang, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is here," Peter said moving into the crowd.

"Hey your that spider guy," one man said in the crowd.

"Spider-Man, thank god. This woman just collapsed, you have to take her to a hospital."

"What's wrong with her? Are paramedics coming?"

"Yes, but there's no time. I'm a nurse she's not doing good and 911 was just called a minute ago. You can get there quicker."

"Uh, yeah.

"She's stable but I don't know for how long that will last. Please go, GO!"

Peter picked up the woman and carried her on his back. He leaped up and swung away with all his strength moving fast.

It's alright Pete your just taking an unconscious person on your back to the hospital. Sure you never ca-

Peter nearly slipped off one of his web lines due to his balance being off with the woman on his back.

Carried someone before and certainly never carried someone while web swinging, Peter laughed. Fun.

Peter continued swinging along trying to keep her steady, thankfully there was a hospital not too far away.

Peter reached the hospital and rushed towards the main entrance.

"Hey uh, I need some help here," Peter said approaching some hospital staff. They put her on a stretcher rushing her inside.

"Thank you Spider-Man, you might have just saved her life." One of the staff said while taking her away. Peter swung away after they took her inside.

Peter had not really done anything like that before. Peter would rather stop crimes in progress as he thought that's what a vigilante does.

He continued on his patrol after leaving the area. Peter, however, did not find any more crimes or people he could help for about a half an hour so he just decided to go home.

Later

After returning home, Peter greeted Aunt May. He went up to his room going on his computer to investigate where Speed Demon had hit last night.

Peter thought he might as well check if he was going to hit the same area again tonight.

Peter discovered all the stores Speed Demon hit were in Hell's Kitten. Oddly, apparently, the robberies were around eight o'clock to nine o'clock. This was a strange time to hit stores as it was more likely for something like that to happen later at night. Aunt May's date was going to be at six o'clock. So there was more than enough time to come up with a plan.

Peter noticed on his clock that it was nearly five so he decided he might as well go downstairs to check on Aunt May as he realized he was inside his room for nearly two hours.

He went downstairs and Aunt May was watching the news as she usually did. She always liked being informed about what was happening in the world.

"Hey, Aunt May are you still going on your date?"

"Yes I am, why?"

"Just curious I guess, and I wanted to apologize for being rude."

"You were not being rude. Aunt May sighed. You have every right to be unhappy about my "date." Just don't give me such a rude tone next time Peter, but I still understand where you were coming from."

"Sure," Peter said under his breath.

"So, when are you going again?"

"In less than an hour, I'll be on my way. Be out of your hair for a while. By the way, you didn't have to leave Harry's just to check up on me Peter."

"I know, I just wanted to check up on ya, you know? Besides I wanted to wish you luck."

"Well, I was going to see Anna and Mary Jane in a few minutes. They wanted to see me before I went off to dinner. Would you like to come with me? I'm sure you missed Mary Jane, hm?"

"I saw her a few days ago and for the record, I don't feel that way about her. We're just friends."

"I'm just kidding around with you, I know you have a thing for that Liz Allen."

"Yeah, I spook to her outside of class, so..."

"That's nice dear, don't try any funny business with her. Not under my roof anyway."

"Aunt May! I..I'd never do that!"

Aunt May laughed. "I'm just joking Peter!"

"I know, but it's really REALLY weird."

Peter and Aunt May walked over to the house beside them which was the Watson household.

Aunt May knocked on the front door and Ms. Watson answered. MJ was relaxing on the couch watching tv when they came into the living room. Mary Jane got up from the couch so Aunt May could sit down and Anna Watson sat in the chair that she usually sat in. As the two older women started talking MJ and Peter went into the kitchen as they tended to do when the two women got together.

"Hey MJ."

"Hey, Peter. How's May doing?"

"Uh, she's alright, nervous about her date I'm guessing."

"How about you? I saw that speed guy online." MJ started talking quieter.

"Uh, yeah." Really regretting that told her what I was doing right about now Peter thought.

"Are you going to stop that guy?"

"Of course I am." They both were talking silently now.

"You don't have super speed. Or do you?"

"Well no, kinda, I mean I got amazing reflexes, unless I'm in gym."

"How do you know that's all he can do? Do you have a plan of how you're going to stop speedy?" MJ asked.

"I try to wing it, It's gone well, ur...all the time. Okay, most of the time. Also, I have powers and an Amazing suit!" Peter said reaching normal volume.

"Shush, you thought I would be the loud one to spill your secret. They might not be young, but they could still hear you."

"Right..."

"How do you plan on finding him anyway?"

"Why are you asking me so many questions?"

"Well, your insistence on running into danger with no clue of what your doing does not seem like a good idea. I'm just saying your really smart Peter, using your head could save you."

"Your right MJ, I just want to take this guy down. I want to fight someone more fit for a superhero. Like seriously the only other guy who hit me was that boomerang idiot from a couple days ago. And he caught me off guard. My greatest enemy being a guy with boomerangs seems dumb."

"Well good luck with the speedy guy, hope you can stop him. Anyway, would you like to stat over for dinner? Or did you eat yet?"

"I have not and I would love to stay for dinner."

After Aunt May left Peter did have dinner with the Watsons. Afterwards, heading back home he decided that he should follow MJ's advice. He should try to be prepared to deal with The Speed Demon. He thought of listening to the police radio and look out for silent alarms as that is what happened the night before. So he swung towards Hell's Kitten.

Later

After listening for nearly three hours Peter was getting impatient and decided to swing around the neighbourhood. He did not think that his presence there could tip off Speed Demon.

Oh god, I might die of boredom waiting for this guy. At least I think it's a guy, haven't punched a woman yet. Webbed up few, but punching one...Oh well, first time for everything.

Peter then heard on the police radio that a silent alarm was just tripped near him.

Gotcha! Peter thought excitedly.

He swung towards the address that was reported knowing that the cops would take a few minutes or more to get there.

Peter made it to the store seeing broken glass on the ground knowing he was in the right place.

"Hello in there! How are we doing today? I noticed some glass on the ground here." Peter said peeking inside.

"Dammit! He's here! I won't do that!" The Speed Demon exclaimed.

"Who you talking to pal? The voices in your head?"

"What do you want? The money? I Don't care man just take it."

"I would like you to wait for the cops."

"No-no-no I won't go to jail with this suit, they'll kill me if I lose this."

"How about you tell me who. The cops can protect you."

"Cops won't stop them. I'll do it."

"Do what?"

The Speed Demon zoomed at Peter hitting him. As he had speed his punch did more than a normal one would have done.

"What are you doing Speedy? Can't we just talk this out?

"No. I'm sorry."

He ran at Peter again but he was able to jump out of the way. Peter started trying to web his legs to stop him from running around. However, Speed Demon was too quick for him. Peter got hit once more when he failed to web him up.

"So what's the plan here huh? You don't seem like you're a hardened criminal. Well, I guess I'm not an expert on knowing people I mea-"

Peter got hit once again. As he was distracted by his own talking.

"Cheap shot pal."

"Give up man! I'm faster than you. Just let me go."

"I did that once before, and I'll never do it again." Peter launched himself at Speed Demon. Missing, he hit the ground, but he still kept trying to grab Speed Demon or web him.

"Just stop man! My people want me to kill you! Back off or join them. There's no other choice here, trust me."

"I know what happens when you let someone go. So, no."

Peter dogged his next hit and was able to trip Speed Demon. He nearly webbed him up but he moved out the way and started running. He hopped into his van and started trying to get away. Peter webbed his wheels preventing him from escaping.

Sirens could be heard coming toward the area.

"Eh, Speedy! Game over pal!"

"Dammit. He exclaimed getting out the truck. Peter tried webbing the door, but it was too late as Speed Demon ran away. So Peter thought he might as well make his exit, but he shot some webs at the van Speed Demon was using hoping the police might investigate it.

As the police moved in, Peter escaped.

Thank you once again for reading, hope you enjoyed. This chapter might end up being one of the longest ones I'll write.

Second I wanted to apologize for my inexperience in writing descriptive details. I find it very difficult to imagine myself in the place where the characters are or what they look like. I would be pleased if anyone could help me with this or point me in some sort direction of how to fix this.

Third I want to say that regarding the "changes" for this take on Spider-Man are going to be more apparent down the road. Till then it's more "small" changes that may have a major effect later on.

Fourth (Kinda still third) This story will probably still be going on for two, three maybe four years! You might have to wait a while and I'm sorry in advance if this story becomes convoluted. Just know I WON'T let this become Clone Saga levels of incompetent. (I hope lol)

That's all, for now, please review!
