Tony's Pov

I look at the news. Norman is dead. That dirty spider! I storm out of my lab and knock at Natasha's door. When she didn't answer, i take my Ironman glove and blast her door. I see her sleeping with her headphones on and i can hear the birds sounds from here. If she wasn't already weird, i would be worried. How is she not deaf?
"Jarvis, stop her headphones."
The second the sounds stopped she wakes up and a knife flys above my head. I'm sure it cut some inches of my hair.
"What do you want Stark? Wait, YOU BLASTED MY DOOR!"
Now she rushed to me, knife in her hand. With how many knives does she sleep?
"Well, you have some explaining to do with that spider friend of yours. Bring him here NOW!"
"Why? I don't think he has nothing to explain to you."
"Nothing? Let's me show you nothing!"
I grab her by her arm, maybe to hard, thay she dropped her knife, and drag her to the living room. I feel a punch in my stomach and i let go of her hand.
"Don't drag me like that, Tin Man! I don't know what make you go loco, but if you do that again, i hope you know a good funeral house." she massaged her wrist.
"Jarvis, turn on the news!"
I turn to see her reaction. I was expecting some anger, some guilt, some... regret... something! But all i see is her face with no emotion like nothing happened.
"The news are fake." she just states.
"FAKE! MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD AND SPIDER-MAN LET A KID ORPHAN!"
I see that now i woke up the others who gathered in the living room.
"What is going on, Stark?" Clint said.
"Spider-Man killed Norman." i say and all of them are shocked. Pepper comes to my side.
"It wasn't Spider-Man. Enyone can take your identity when you were a mask."
"You are a crazy-!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Let's all calm down." Steve tried to be the mighty Cap.
"Go defend your girl!"
"I'm not defending her! I say just to calm and talk this like adults. Since he killed Osborn, i think we should first go to check on Harry and then ask the witness."
"Check the witness? When i put my hands on that spider-" i can't finish my sentence because Red, rotates my wrist, spraining it for sure. Her attack makes me kneel, so it wouldn't be so painful.
"Don't you dare to put your hands on him!" she let my hand go.
"Why? I thought Steve was your boyfriend. But of course a crazy killer needs to be with a murderer, RIGHT!"
"HE IS NOT A KILLER! If i think, he is more than a hero that you would ever be!"
She was so close on my face that she almost splitted on me. That killer who murderer my best friend, a hero?! I punch her in the face, making her stumble, but not to fall. Just when i see the blood coming from her nose, i realized my mistakes: the first, is that i hit her with the Ironman glove and the second, is that i hit her because of my anger. We all froze for a moment, but i can see Steve hand becoming fist by his side. But in one fast second i see something red in my vision, and I'm suddenly on the floor, receiving punch after punch from Natasha. I see how the team struggles to take her off me. She kicks me in the stomach and then leaves to the elevator, leaving us all confused. That girl scares me a lot. She stopped like someone pressed a button and she just left? Why i am complaining? At least I am alive. My phone rings. A message from Red.
<<If your friend was so good, then why he put cameras and microphone in my  present suit. Check yours. >>

Peter's Pov

My life is a disaster. One day i am a hero, and the next one, i am the most dangerous criminal and wanted by police. And i have to participate at the funeral of the person i apparently i killed. And to look sorry for Harry like he didn't want to take my powers. Isn't my life awesome!
This morning I tried to help an old lady crooss the street and she hit me with her cane.
The funeral was private. Now Harry was the boss of all the Osborn Industries, but i can't  feel sad for him even if he is an orphan because something smells fishy here. He is one of the bad guys.
I was surprised to see Mr. Stark and the other Avengers at the funeral.I looked for the Black Widow, but i didn't see her there. I hope she doesn't hate me.
Mr. Stark said an amazing speech at the funeral and i could see the dark circles under his eyes, but also some bruises, even if the makeup covered them. Nat learned me how to use makeup  to hide something and now I recognize the technique. He decided to adopt Harry and let him live at the Tower. And he promised Harry he will personally make Spider-Man face justice.
Isn't this amazing! The police and the Avengers wants to hunt me. And i only shot webs from my hands! How can i fight with Ironman, or Hulk, or Capitan America?Ok, i will like to punch Cap, only for the detention videos.
I have to lay down for a while. At home, i put my suits and comm in a box under my bed.
Time to be a normal teenager!
Ughhhh.

Nathasa's Pov

I know Spider-Man didn't killed Osborn. It's not his style. He is too sweet and innocent to do something like that. He isn't me. He helps old ladies cross the street and cats to go down from the trees.He wants to help his neighborhood. He is the hope that children like Peter need. Omg! Peter! What does he think now? I told him that he can trust Spiderman.

Mom
It doesn't matter what the police says.
It doesn't matter what the news says
Spider-Man is not guilty
Just trust me, Peter.

Son
Glad that you also don't believe that lies.
I know Spider-Man is a good giy because that's what my instincts are telling me and we always can trust our instincts.

Mom
Exactly.

Son
You were right.

Mom
Mother knows best!

Son
Harry is not a good guy. I was at the party his father died. I followed them in a room behind a picture. They had a lot of plans and photos of Spider-Man. I hear Nornan saying that he tried to come closer to the Black Widow to find more about Spiderman. He put camera and microphones in her suit that was a gift . Like the Trojan horse.
Harry wants Spider-Man powers.
Look, now i am at the funeral and Mr. Stark adopted Harry. Tell the Avengers to be careful!

Mom
Don't worry kid. I will keep them safe.

Son
You really belive me?

Mom
Yes. Why?

Son
Because it's sound crazy. And grown ups don't believe children because they are too young.

Mom
I will always believe you, no matter what.
And we live in a crazy world. Gods. Aliens. Nothing sounds crazy for me anymore
Be careful!

Son
You too.

It's weird to think how small the world is. If Harry didn't happen, i wouldn't know that me and Peter are this close. He knows Stark, I know Stark, he knows Harry, i know Harry... it's weird.
I tried to call and find Spider-Man, but he disappeared. Maybe it's better that way for him, to lay down.
I go to the Tower and see everyone dressed in black. Harry was on the couch.  It would be a bad moment to crack a joke like <<You stole my style! >>.
"

Hey, Red! I wanted to tell you that i-"
"You adopted Harry. I know."
"Ok, super-spy." Tony rolls his eyes. I see Harry crying and Pepper with Steve and and Bruce tried to console him. That are not real tears. I used that trick long ago to make Clint to  give me his slice of pizza.No one will belive me when i will tell them that a 16 year old kid told me that Harry is evil. Not now that he is protected by Stark. Wait-. If he wanted to be closer to me to find about Spider-Man... now he is close enough and I'm sure he will find a way to access Tony's technology. And now the whole police force haunt Spiderman.And if he is caught... I'm sure Harry can learn more about his power. A lot of people who thought they were protected behind the bars,were found dead in their cell, killed by their hunter. I know because once i did that too. My target was protected by the Canadian police. They told him he will be safe behind the bars, because no one can enter in the station. I entered and sliced his neck.No camera saw me. But that was long ago.
This is genius and so evil.
But....
Two can play that game. I take one of my clean napkins and come next to him and wipe one tear.
"I'm sorry for your loss. Do you want to talk?"
Everyone is surprised by my attitude because i was on Spider-Man side.
"So, you are ready to fight Spiderman?" Tony asks, smiling. How cute, he think we was right! I am always right.
"Oo! No.I still don't think Spider-Man did this. But I'm happy to help you find the real killer."
"You don't think that monster killed my daddy?"
I crouch down to his level, since he was staying on the couch.
"Nope." I shake my head.
"If you need me, i am in my room reading!"I go to my room and jump in the vents. I go to Bruce lab and analyze the tear. I know it! The chemical composition doesn't match with a tear of grief. I take a photo.
" Jarvis, delete all the footage about me and Spider-Man. And block my vent, room and windows to anyone who isn't me."
"Yes, Itsy Bitsy Spider."
Let's hope that will be enough to stop Harry. I sent the picture to Peter. He is excited to be a detective. Guess we are a team.
I watch Harry's every move.He is a good actor. Madame B would like him.
But suddenly, i lost him.
" Where is Harry? "I ask Pepper.
" In his room... this day was hard for him. "
It's killing me to see how they are so good with him! But truth always comes.
I vent to his room and i see it empty. I make a photo with the hour and date on it, of course.

Peter's Pov

I saw a green thing flying above my building. That's screams Spider-Man, but i can't. But if i don't the neighborhood would be destroyed. If i don't.... more people would be hurt than if i do. I take my suit.
"Hey,did Santa Claus leave you behind?"
This caught his attention.
"You fool!" said a metalic voice. Who was this guy? Darth Vader with a new fashion taste?
"I know... that's my charm." i shot a  web at his flying bord and make him fall on the roof of my building. That's not good. To close to home. I try to shot another web, but my spider sense tingle and a bullet hit me in my arm making me fall in the garbage. Really, cops? Right now? Sure , shot the hero and bot the green psiho!
The green thing.... lets call him goblin.
He's sure ugly as one. And the color matches. He takes back his flying board and comes to laugh in my face.
"You finally youd the place you belong!"
"Don't worry! I was just keeping your seat."
"Let's see how funny you are when things explode!" He throws a ball inside the building.
Fuck! A bomb! I go inside and  try to warn everyone.
Fuck! Aunt May is at home!
I go to my apartment as fast as i can. My legs hurt, my lungs are on fire, but it doesn't matter. I have to get to my door. I am almost there. I see May running on the stairs! Yes!

My ears are ringing. Every part of my body hurts. I open my eyes to see that i am covered in bricks and shrads. I lift the pieces from me and just then i see the burning parts of what used to be my home. I observe that one of my lenses  broke and my rest of my suit is tore apart in some places. I ran and just dig for aunt May. She has to be alive! She must be!
"Spiderman, arms where i can see them!" a cop said behind me.
"Are you fucking kidding! PEOPLE DIED OR ARE HURT RIGHT NOW AND ALL YOU CARE IS TOO ARESST ME!"
"You are a wanted criminal." he states like nothing happened, like i didn't lost everything. My home, aunt... now I'm alone in the world.
I see the goblin flying away.
"You can't save everyone! Ha, ha, ha!"
More policemen are coming. I dont have time to cry now, if i still want to be Spiderman. I swing a web and i hear the bullets behind me. After i think i am far away, i just sit on the roof. What a day i had! What a life! First i lost my parents, then my uncle and now my aunt and my home.Let's not forget my beading arm and the fact that i am a criminal wanted by everyone. Really universe?! Do you hate me that much!?
I am an idiot!
My and Black Widow's Web!
I can stay there. I hope Natasha is not there because i don't want to be hunt by the Avengers.
