"Refresh. Nothing. Refresh. Nothing. Why doesn't anything appear?" Ben spoke with desperation in his voice as Casey plays Fortnite next to him and takes off his headphones, revealing that he wasn't hearing anything.

"What did you say? I wasn't listening" Casey said to Ben, who put his palms to his face and looked anxious.

"I'm panicking about the test results and so far, nothing." Ben told his brother

"If you keep stressing yourself like that, it's only going to make it worse. You don't usually get that tense," Casey recommended to his brother. Casey was right. Ben wasn't the type of kid to stress that much. Like, obviously Ben had his concerns but they were more related to the superhero life than the student life.

"I think you're right" Ben admitted to his twin brother

"I know I am, asshole. Calm down that crazy hair and relax a little." Casey spoke as he caught Ben's attention

"Wait, is my hair messed up?" Ben asked as he held a lock of his long hair and looked at it.

"A little, yes" Casey told his brother

"Damn. I should cut it soon" Ben suggested but Casey interrupted

"No! If you do that, everyone will start confusing us. As if not having a clone of me since birth wasn't bad enough" Casey warned Ben, who was offended.

"Ouch! It hurts, man. Especially my own brother calling me a clone" Ben spoke with a mixture of sadness and sarcasm in his voice.

"Okay, sorry but you got me" Casey apologized

"I think so, but maybe you're right. I'd better go to town and try to settle down a little." Ben spoke but Casey looked a little skeptical.

"Really? If you leave the house, the first thing you're going to do is head straight for a car chase or stop a robbery." Casey warned his brother but Ben refused to disagree.

"Well yes, but my activities as Kid Arachnid help me forget about my worries as Ben." Ben explained and Casey agreed but still a little skeptical.

"Okay, but try not to overdo it. Take your own advice." Casey recommended to Ben

"Okay. I'll leave and be back around 6:00 pm. Are you coming?" ben asked

"No, I wanted to try and get a Victory Royale today." Casey spoke and Ben decided to leave

"You know if you need help with that then just call Mom." Ben recommended Casey. Whenever she had free time, Kitty liked to play video games.

"No. No way. Remember we bought that superhero fighting game and she threw the controller out the window when Deadpool showed up in the game and beat her?" Casey spoke with a certain fear in his voice.

"Yeah. She was never as angry as she was that day. Not even when you tried to build a nuclear generator in our garage." Ben remembered. All siblings were scientists so it was obvious that they would try to invent all kinds of technologies possible

"I didn't try, I did it. But I had to stop because the military might find out" Casey said while complaining

"You were the one who said there were people raiding our house!" Ben spoke while laughing and left the house.

"I was sure there was a bunch of black cars following me!" Casey replied Ben and then went back to playing video games

Ben decided to go to the city by subway to go to Manhattan. He had to save as his webs were almost gone.

As he was walking, Ben stopped in front of a motorcycle shop.

"It would be nice to have a motorcycle. And it would be a good replacement for my bike. It's already worn out," Ben thought. Ben was a geek, of course. But his interests went beyond that. He always preferred motorcycles to cars because he loved to feel the freedom when the wind hit his face. In fact, because of that, he sometimes liked to climb on top of the subway and feel the wind.
