I've been swinging for a while so I finally drop down. I look around and can't figure out where I am. I see a deli and decide to go in, I'm starving and would eat a hand right about now. I walk up to the building and read the sign out front.

"Delmar's deli-grocery?" Seemed a bit strange but I didn't care.

When I walk in I smell a beautiful array of different smell's, I immediately started drooling. I walk up to the counter and greet the man behind it, He had dark brown hair and a beard.

"What would you like young lady?" He says a slight accent lacing his voice.

"What's the most delicious thing you got? I would love your opinion" I say cheerily

He gives me a small chuckle before placing an order in Spanish. When he turns back to face me I see his eyes become curious.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" He says while seemingly analyzing me face.

"Uh no I don't think so" I tried to sound confused but I knew what he was talking about.

When I was getting away from rich guy and wizard dude I had seen billboards with pictures of me on them, the captions saying that I was Spider-Man. I just wanted to eat food, I didn't need all the hassle.

"No I'm sure I- Oh my god you were on the news!!! Your Spider-Man!!!" He said, well fuck.

He started thanking me for my service and just kept going on and on about how much of a hero I was, damn it! Who the hell is Spider-Man and why does everyone think he's me! Also Spider-Man? couldn't think of a better name, really?

" I'm sorry sir but I'm not who you think I am, I'm not Spider-Man I promise you. Thanks for the sandwich" I grab my food of the counter and give him a hundred dollar bill out of fancy man's wallet. I rush out of there almost nocking down some kid.

"Oh shit sorry" I say while helping him up.

When he stands and faces me my body becomes fuzzy and my spider tingle becomes alert and present. I can't understand why I need to worry about this kid but clearly my body knows something I don't. When I look into his eyes he seems oddly familiar, like I've known him for a longtime.

I brush it off and leave. I find a empty alley and wait until there is no one within sight, then I climb up to the roof of a building and perch on top of it to eat my sandwich. Right before I'm about to take a bite I hear a soft thud behind me, I place my sandwich down slowly making sure to preserve it as best as possible. I take a deep breath before quickly turning toward the assailant and shooting a web at them. They dodge my web but don't make any counter attack instead they just stare at me.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm so sorry for startling you. I'm Peter, Peter Parker" he says as he steps out of the shadows.

When he comes into view I recognize him as the kid I ran into in front of the store. He can't be any older than 15, what the hell does he want from me?

"What do you want?" I snarl. I probably shouldn't be so harsh towards the kid but I was hungry and frankly fed up with men.

" um well..." he doesn't finish his sentence instead he  takes a long pause before letting out a deep sigh and shooting a web at my sandwich and flinging it towards himself.

I'm taken aback, my brain goes into hyperdrive. He's just like me.
