DECEMBER 202X

What I'm about to tell you may sound impossible, but this is coming from a guy who climbs walls so I have no room to talk. Let's just get started, my name is Justin Parker and for the last 4 years, I've been the one and only Spider-Man.

I saved the city

I saved the city... multiple times, I fell in love and got broken up. Still got my bestie, Andy Mason, she helped me out with my spider gadgets, saved the city again, saved the world, and even joined The Avengers, yeah the freaking Avengers; Earth's Mightiest Heroes! But after an incident with a certain Mad Titan, we... decided to disband, like The Beatles or One Direction. We didn't lose or anything, I thought it would be better to be on my own. So, now I am on my own, defeating bad guys, paying rent, living life, the usual human stuff. Enough about me, let's just skip to the good bit.

So it's the middle of December and it was just a regular snowy day, birds were chirping, angry New Yorkers yelling at each other for no reason during holiday shopping, and the occasional bank robbery that I thankfully stopped courtesy of your friendly neighborhood me, the usual.

"Thanks for the assist, Spidey." One officer said

"Oh, no problem! It was nice doing your job for a change" I said, all snarky-like.

We both had a chuckle and I swung off as he gave me his warm doughnut, as a way to say thanks. As I was swinging, I saw someone trying to break into the Baxter Building so I had to go check it out, Richards was away for the holidays so I figured why not. At that moment I thought it was just a regular burglar but I was dead wrong...

Now before I continue, gotta tell you about what I have dealt with the past few years, I had my fair share of burglars before, but villains, that's a whole other story. Sure I dealt with thugs before but they were nothing like my rogues gallery. The gallery consists of Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, Shocker, Morbius, and my all-time favorite, Mysterio. All of them got them... let's call them quirks. Vulture had mechanical wings, Rhino had unbreakable skin and looks like a Rhino, Scorpion has a giant tail, Shocker has these gauntlets that send shockwaves, Morbius is a vampire and Mysterio uses drones to create illusions, you get the point. As it turns out Mysterio (no surprise there) was the one trying to break in, and unfortunately succeeded.

I swung by the door he broke through and was slowly following him as I was climbing to the ceiling so he wouldn't catch me just yet.

"Come on, where is it, I know you have it in here," he said, very demanding.

" 'It?' What is he looking for?" I wondered. As I was stealthy following him, he went down the hall to the left and right then and there I knew exactly where he was going... the lab! He was about to steal Reed's tech!

I needed to act fast, I rushed to the lab and noticed he walked past the tech and gone for something even worse. When I looked in I saw a red, glowing light illuminating the room and I knew exactly where he was going, he was stealing one of the Infinity Stones!
