Hope you enjoy!

A couple days after Peter apprehended Speed Demon, he thought about those addresses again on his way to school. He was thinking that today should be the day he checks those places out. Assuming they were not abandoned or rigged to blow up, Peter figured he might find out more about this "Kingpin."

Peter was on the bus to school thinking about to talk to Liz, as he chickened out the day before.

After Peter got to school he went to find Harry and Gwen. They were officially dating now which was nice. Peter was happy for them, however, he did feel a bit jealous.

Peter didn't find them so he was on his way to class until he noticed Liz alone. he thought now might be his opportunity to talk to her.

"Hey, Liz," Peter said trying to sound competent.

"Hello." She replied.

"How are you?" Peter asked.

"Good."

"Did you have a nice weekend?"

"Yeah. Are you going to ask about the weather next?"

"How's the weather?" Peter joked.

"Don't know. Do you want something?"

"What do you mean?"

"You like me. I can tell easily by now."

"Of course I like you," Peter said studdering.

"You know what I mean. I've had a few boyfriends and a few boys and a couple girls crushing on me. So sorry for sounding rude but I'm not in the mood." Liz started walking away from Peter.

"Wait! How about we just be friends. I'm perfectly fine with just a friend."

"Nothing more. I don't want I boyfriend right now, I just want a friend. You seem like a decent guy.

"Uh, thanks. So, as your new friend, I'm curious if you're alright."

"I'm fine."

"I know that's not true. Call it my superpower." Peter and Liz laughed.

"Do you know my brother Mark?"

"I think I saw him before."

"He's being a complete dumbass and I don't know what to do to help him."

"What's he doing?"

"I'd rather not say."

"You should tell someone. Do you live with your parents?"

Liz scoffed at that. "No. Just me and him for a long time now. I've got nobody else."

"Well, you should still talk to someone."

"It's fine. I'll see ya."

"Yeah, nice talk," Peter mumbled. Good going, Pete. Talk to the girl and mess it up.

Later at lunch

Peter, Gwen and Harry went out for lunch to a nearby fast food place with Bernard driving them there. It was nearby so they would get back to school on time.

"You know Gwen I wonder if you're just dating me for my money." Harry joked.

"Maybe I am."

"Yeah, I bet you're going to marry him and take all his money," Peter said.

They all laughed.

"So, I talked with Liz earlier."

"Cool," Harry replied as he went on his tablet. Clearly not interested.

"How did it go?" Gwen asked.

"Well, it was a little odd. Or just maybe not how I pictured it going."

"Okay, what happened?

"I don't know, it was just not how I thought talking to her would go."

"What did you think was going to happen? You were going to make out with her like in your fantasies."

"I guess, I don't know."

"She's probably going through some stuff. She had a nasty breakup."

"I forgot about that."

Gwen sighed. "That's kinda important to remember. But I understand you've been distant since, you know."

"Yeah, I guess I'm just tired. Maybe I ought to start drinking something that'll wake me up."

"We're here!" Harry said.

They eat lunch and returned to school in a short time. It was very helpful having a driver to bring them around for lunch as Norman Osborn never needed a drive.

When getting back to school Harry went off to class. Peter and Gwen had the same class this period which was science.

Getting there they both saw Liz. Gwen nudged Peter.

"Go talk to her."

"What?! Now? It's nearly class."

"Don't be a wuss Pete. Go on before I kick your a-."

"Okay, Okay, I'm going."

Peter approached Liz.

"Hey, whatya doing."

"Waiting for the teacher."

"Right. Duh, I knew that."

Gwen approached both of them. She could see Peter was nervous.

"Hey Liz," Gwen said.

"Hey," Liz replied looking at her then turned away going on her phone.

Gwen and Peter walked out of her hearing range.

"I got a tad bit nervous."

"Really?"

"I sense sarcasm."

"You were pretty nervous."

"What could I possibly do? I don't intentionally just start having a spaz attack. It just happens."

"I don't know. Just be your self."

"Yeah..."

"The door's open," Gwen said looking at the classroom entrance.

They walked into class.

Later

After school, Peter suited up and decided that he should investigate those warehouses. He thought this was a good time to search those places to get his mind off his failings with Liz.

He reached one of the warehouses.

Looks abandoned. Peter thought seeing the outside. It looked very old and as it might be torn down soon.

"Hello?" Peter said inside the place. His spider-sense began tingling, he jumped out of the way of a shotgun bullet. Then turned his right hand and shot a web line at his attacker's arm pulling the gun out of his hands. Peter lunged at him kicking him to the ground.

Oka- Peter thought before he got shot at once again. There were three more men that entered the room with handguns firing bullets at him. With his agility, he dodged the shots. He webbed two men throwing them into each other. The third man started running away from Spider-Man. Before he got away Peter webbed his lags.

"Who are you, pal?" Peter asked.

"You're making a huge mistake."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"The Enforcers are going to take you out."

"Scary. Are they going to enforce my bedtime? Anyhow, tell me about Kingpin. I rather you tell me before the cops come."

"I'm saying nothing. I like living."

"Fine." Peter knocked him out and went outside of the warehouse to wait for the police to come. They came shortly. Peter was hoping Captain George Stacy. Gwen's father was going to be here. He wanted to give his info that the Kingpin was real to a trustworthy person. He knew Gwen's dad was a good man. He was always nice to Peter. However to be honest he wasn't really sure about his position on Spider-Man, as it never really came up in conversations.

Peter saw all the officers come out of their vehicles. He was not with them. Peter knew it was highly unlikely for him to be here, after all, it was just some random 911 call.

Peter swung away from the scene seeing the criminals being put into the cars in handcuffs.

Later in the evening, elsewhere.

The Kingpin, aka Wilson Fisk, was at his penthouse apartment hearing about more of his people being apprehended by Spider-Man from a mole in the police force.

He was displeased with this news and decided to call his righthand man, Wesley.

"I want Spider-Man dealt with. Get the Enforces to get rid of him. No restrictions on how you go about it."

"Of course sir, I'll get right on that."

Fisk hung up the phone and stared out his window, lost in thought.

Hello everyone! So very sorry for the massive delay. I've not been feeling so well these past few months and it's really been affecting my writing. However, I'm doing somewhat better. More so my writing is going better which is making me feel more hopeful. Anyway, I'm getting back on track with this, thank you for reading my work. Have a lovely day or night.
