Funnel-Web (Y/N x Gwen Stacy)

Chapter 4: I just didn't want to spoil the mood.

3rd POV

After dealing with his first victims and engaging in a fierce battle with the three spiders, Y/N returned to his concealed lair beneath the bustling streets of New York City. The entrance, cleverly disguised as an abandoned subway station, required a facial scan for access. As the door granted him entry, he stepped into a vast, high-tech chamber illuminated by a soft purple glow and the faint light blue emanating from embedded LED lights in the walls.

The main area was meticulously organized into dedicated sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of Y/N's gear and customizations. In one corner, a display featured his former mercenary suit, an advanced nanotech-enabled ensemble meticulously tailored and enhanced with unique features. This suit served as his primary attire during his mercenary days and early activities as Spiderman. After a night of vigilante work, Y/N removed his Spiderman suit and placed it beside the remnants of his past life.

Adjacent to the suit section was an arsenal showcasing various weapons, each labeled and arranged for effortless access. Guns and knives, intricately designed and personalized for Y/N's use, shimmered on a pedestal with a metallic finish. The Tactical Training Room, another segment of the hideout, housed a holographic simulator replicating real-world scenarios. Y/N used this space to practice combat techniques, test new gadgets, and refine his agility in a controlled virtual environment. Customizable holographic enemies, ranging from common street thugs to formidable supervillains, populated the training zone, offering a dynamic challenge to further hone Y/N's skills.

Moving to what resembled a master bedroom, Y/N bathed and donned his clothes for the day. As he traversed the hideout, he arrived at the central chamber, housing an array of high-tech computer consoles and screens. Embracing his Spiderman identity, Y/N had integrated a police scanner that received emergency alerts and tracked criminal activities across the city. An advanced surveillance system tapped into security cameras throughout New York, offering real-time situational awareness.

Seated at the center of the chamber, Y/N began his routine check on the news. The headlines painted him as a villain, sparking public animosity. Rather than being deterred, Y/N embraced the controversy, laughing at the accusations and using the negative attention to fuel his determination. He aimed to prove that his unique methods of justice were superior to those of the established Spiderman trio, solidifying his role as a force to be reckoned with in the city's criminal underworld.

Y/N POV 

I completed my morning routine and descended the stairs to find Stan, still dedicated to cooking breakfast for me despite his gradual decline. A warm smile crossed my face; he continued to treat me with the care and affection one would reserve for a child. I harbored a silent hope that if ever my identity were exposed, and Stan faced danger or met his end in the line of fire, the world would witness the true depths of fear. But that was a bridge I would cross one day.

After a hearty breakfast and a pleasant conversation with Stan, I ventured outside. School awaited, and as I walked, the buzzing chatter around me betrayed the mixed feelings my pursuit of justice stirred. Some approved of my methods, while others harbored fear or disdain, resenting the disruption to the city's established triumvirate. I shrugged off the opinions, steadfast in my mission, until the most irritating voice pierced the air.

J. Jonah: Look at this, folks! Another web-slinger wreaking havoc in our city. Can you believe it?

Y/N: Grants... Fuck you, J.

J. Jonah: This person is no ordinary spider, folks. An anti-hero? More like a menace! Or perhaps a villain. Whatever it is, at least the other three have the decency to save lives while swinging around the city. This Spider is just causing chaos! Some people think, "he might have his own reasons for doing what he does" or "he may be trying to make a difference in his own way." Nonsense! I say we don't need another vigilante running amok. We need law and order, not some masked lunatic taking matters into his own hands. This other Spider is just like the other three, but worse – he kills his victims!
