The web shoots out in a net shape and sticks firmly on the wall, I let go of the button to cut the web.

The web string falls to the ground as I snap the web shooter off. Then turn around to a slack jawed Jane. I can hear the gears turning in her head as she puts everything together.

"It's been you, this whole time. You've been Saturn-spider" Jane questions. I nod, "oh my god max..." I don't know why the hell Jane paused. She hates me, she probably found out about Dennis and everything thing else. She thinks I'm just a fucking weirdo

"That's amazing! You've helped so many people. You're a hero" Jane congratulates me. "You don't know how wrong you are," I say vaguely. Jane is confused "why am I wrong that's what you do. you save people." Jane asks.

"I don't help people. All I do is hurt them, I shouldn't even have these powers. You don't understand the bad side of these things. This is the reason I passed out from that "migraine" my powers did that to me. You only see what's on tv. I've.. done things, really bad things. I'm just really... really tired I haven't slept in at least two weeks because of something that happened. I'll understand if you want to just run out of my life right now and never talk to me again. I'm so sorry for lying to you about all of this. Everything just changing so quickly" I'm beginning to cry at this point. I wipe my eyes from any water building in them. "I'm so, so scared, I'm mentally impaired. I've been such a terrible person I've done terrible things, I don't want to lead you on pretending I'm a hero, I'm the farthest thing from that. This all started out so innocent and fun. I'm cursed with these powers. I've turned them into a terrible mess. Hell, I've turned my life into a terrible mess. Don't trust me" I slump down my dresser breaking down telling my favorite person in the world who I really am.

"I'm such a terrible person, I'm such a terrible person" I trail off turning sentences into sobs. Jane runs off the bed to grab me off the dresser and cradle me in her arms.

"Max, I'm so so sorry you have to deal with this. You could do anything and I'll will still love you no matter what you do or say I will always love you. You're not a terrible person. You are the, funniest, sweetest, caring person I've ever met and ever will meet. You're so perfect, it takes no effort for you." Jane confesses. I sit up to face her, she loves me.

"wait, you love me?" I question wondering what type of love she means. Jane scoffs like it's a stupid question. "Of course I love you, how could I not. I will tell you that until you start believing it." Jane answers. I take a look around the room to take in everything Jane just said. I look at the bed where we kissed and I was in that trance. I look to the closet where my -now clean- suit is hidden deep under clothes. Then I look over to Jane.

How the hell did Jane end up falling desperately in love with me. She just looks too perfect to be real, I could just spend the rest of my life with her. Then I could die happy.

"are you real?" I ask, Jane's eyes never left me. She grabs both my hands and holds them to her chest, "I'm real". We just end up gazing at each other, like that day at the field. Which I'm convinced Jane wanted to kiss me there, she doesn't kiss me here just like how she didnt kiss me in the field. Just looking at me with so much love in her eyes. I want her to kiss me, I want to kiss her. Jane just lets the tension stay.
