Spider-Man And The Nightmare Warrior

Chapter 3: A Family Affair

After school, Castiel continued his case for Serena Vandergraff tailing her father's activities until he arrived back at the same hotel. Shane Vandergraff stepped out of his Audi A8 and walked up to the door knocking somewhat eagerly. Castiel grabbed his camera and zoomed in taking the photo from across the street once the woman in question stepped into the frame. He took the picture genuinely shocked by who it was and when Shane leaned in to kiss the woman in question he took a few more photos before putting his camera away and driving off. The woman was...his mother, Vanessa.

"Fuck me," he mumbled as he continued to drive home while sending the pictures to Serena. He wondered what he was going to say to his dad when returned home. Was he supposed to just not say anything of what he had just seen? Sure his parents were neglectful pieces of shit but did he really want to see his father's heart get broken? 'Damn it no, I can't say anything. Otherwise they'll grill me about how and why he took those pictures.' he internally screamed.  He couldn't tell them that he had been investigating the murder of Kane Hardy for the past year and that he had picked up private investigating as a way of making some extra cash.

"Don't just stand there Shane, get in here," she said pulling him into the room and tugging at the man's collar. Shane pinned Vanessa to the wall slamming the door behind them commencing a special hour of afternoon delight. "

When Castiel got home he could hear backups barks from inside. He walked in to see his father sitting in his chair flicking through channels on the television waiting for his son to come home. Castiel passed by the living room and then went upstairs to his room put his backpack in his room. However, upon opening the door the entire room had been ransacked and trashed. Stuff was either broken, tossed around, notebooks were scattered all over the floor. "What the fuck?!" he exclaimed.

"You weren't giving us any answers so your mother and I went looking. I don't know where this bullshit, disgusting attitude of yours came from but it stops here. Right now," he said in a serious tone. Castiel bit his lip as he was trying really hard to refrain from showing the pictures to his father out of spite just to get the attention off of him but bit his tongue before going back down stairs to get Backup out of the cage and take him outside. He exhaled a sigh of frustration 'You know what, fuck it, let him find out on his own. Whatever happens as a result isn't on me anyway,'

Colton pulled to a stop outside the the debrief location which happened to be local Starbucks. Parking his red Kawasaki 1000rr by the curb thee we young man took his motorcycle helmet off and brushed his short hair back slightly. The helmet happened to be a mild annoyance but it was a condition he agreed to when Rio and Jefferson had surprised him with the bike. The thigh brief and fleeting but had caused him him to smile nevertheless.

He approached the door of the Starbucks chain and entered removing his aviator sunglasses. He noticed Natasha was seated in a far corner table with a hoodie on and up she has a laptop in front of her. Colton ordered an iced coffee from Starbucks.

"Thank you very much for preparing this amazing frozen beverage beautiful. I truly hope it was made with the upmost quality ingredients and love." The cute ginger smiles broadly revealing the dimples across her freckles cheeks. "Oh of course only the best for you handsome. You'd total is $12.99." She stated ringing up the item.  "Ouch thirteen bucks for this little thing. That's a little steep red. How about this that's fifteen for the drink keep the change. there's 60 for you considering you provided such an excellent service. C'mere, come closer, I need to tell you something however." Colton stated in a mock whisper.

"Oh... so secretive huh? You must be a man of mystery," The redhead stated in jesting tone. "This 60 is designed for a very specific purpose. I want you get your nails and hair done for our date this weekend."Colton stated with a wide grin as she pulled away with a slight chuckle. "Well that sounds like a great idea. However I must know where do you plan on taking me Mr..." she inquired promoting his introduction.
