❝ When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you. ❞
After being given the proportional agility, strength, and speed of a spider, Y/N L/N must learn to tackle his life as a hero and as...
You walk into J. Jonah Jameson's office. He sits at his desk with a cigar in his mouth as he looks over tomorrow's front page.
JJ: L/N! I'm gonna need some new Spider-Man pics for tomorrow.
He slides the front page towards you, and you see the headline.
Spider-Man Bolts While Building Burns!
You read the headline aloud in confusion. An office building burned down a couple days ago, and you saved the people in it. You begin responding to Jameson.
You: Spider-Man saved all those people, Mr. Jameson. What's your problem? He's a good guy.
JJ smirks.
JJ: Good guys don't sell papers.
You roll your eyes. He did have a point.
His landline begins to ring, and he answers it and puts it on speaker.
JJ: Jameson.
???: I've got a scoop for you...
You hear the voice and notice the caller is using a voice changer.
???: ...tomorrow morning, this city will be a pile of ashes!
JJ gets up and begins yelling into the phone.
JJ: Who is this? How did you get my direct line?
???: You ruined me, Jameson. This city ruined me. Now it's payback time. The New Frontier will be known for years to come.
The caller continues to speak.
???: I've planted bombs underground and in a few minutes...Manhattan will burn.
The call ends.
JJ: Hello? Hello? Damn it.
JJ looks up, and doesn't see you anymore. You had left moments ago.
JJ: L/N! Jesus Christ, that kid always has to be somewhere.

THWIP!
You swing towards the Upper West Side. The caller mentioned planting bombs underground, so you assumed he meant the subway tunnels.
You: The New Frontier? They're starting to get annoying.
You remember your run ins with them before. First it was Pterdacts, then Shikata.
You enter a train station and run downstairs. You make it to the underground train tracks and swing through the tunnels. You see a hole in the wall and go through it, landing on a platform.
You see goons in masks and orange clothing fiddling with a device.
You: Hey, you guys don't look like city inspectors.
Goon 1: It's the Spider-Man! Get him!
The goon takes out his melee weapon and runs at you. You shoot a web at his weapon and pull it out of his hands. You then land a swift kick at his face, knocking him out.
The second goon tries to grab you from behind but you counter-attack and throw him over you. You keep a foot on his back as you shoot an impact web at the third goon, sticking him to the wall. You begin speaking to the second goon you have pinned down.
You: Making a bomb like this takes skill. Why didn't you guys take up a better hobby?
Goon 2: This isn't the only one. We have many around the subway system! Carlyle will make this city burn!
Carlyle? He must be the main man and the one who called J. Jonah Jameson.
You web the goon to the ground and make your way over to the first bomb. You notice it has layers, which makes it a chore to defuse.
You: Come on, Y/N. Let's put this brain to use.
You remove a metal plate and start removing screws from another plate. You remove the second layer and make it to the wires. Thankfully, they were color-coded, so you ripped of the correct one. This stopped the beeping and deactivated the first bomb.
You: Phew.
You swing away and travel through the tunnels again to look for the rest of the bombs.

After deactivating the third and final bomb, you contacted Captain Grimes about the incident and The New Frontier's threat. He sent his friend, Michonne Hawthorne, to assist you in the case. She recently was promoted to Lieutenant.
You met with her at a rooftop in the Upper West Side.
You: Good afternoon, Lieutenant.
Michonne: Good? Not really if we're dealing with a terrorist group of this magnitude.
You: Sorry. Bad afternoon.
Michonne: Do we know who's the mastermind?
You: One of his goons mentioned the name Carlyle.
Michonne: Carlyle? Doesn't really ring a bell.
You: I figured as much.
The two of you stood in silence for a moment, overlooking the skyline.
Michonne: From how I'm looking at it, those bombs in the subway was just the start. Who knows what else this mad bomber has planned.
You give nod.
You: That's why I'm here to help.

{Meanwhile}
Mitch's life was sent for a tailspin.
The Daily Bugle exposed his dad's company and brought to light his embezzlement. This caused his parents to get divorced, his mom leaving New York and taking his brother, Willy, with her. Mitch was alone since his dad was in jail awaiting trial.
It took a toll on him. He had many mood swings, his rage getting the best of him. This caused him to lose his job at Channel 4 New York.
He lost everything, and he blamed one person: J. Jonah Jameson.
Thanfully, he was found by Joan and The New Frontier. They understood what he wanted, and he stood for what they strive to do: Chaos and changing the city for their benefit.
With his skills in engineering and chemistry, the terrorist group knew how to utilize Mitch.
He walks into the room, and sees the leader of The New Frontier sitting at the table.

Joan: Mr. Carlyle, seems as if Spider-Man stopped the bombs in Manhattan.
Mitch: There's no setback to great for me, he doesn't know what else my men and I have planned.
Joan: Remember, once you complete your goal...we go forward with mine.
Mitch: That's the plan.
Mitch had one goal in mind, to kill J. Jonah Jameson. He is the reason his life fell apart.
Joan's goal was simple, and has been trying to achieve it since Pterdacts was taken down...
