"Did you hear about what happened last night?"
"Yeah it's crazy right?!"
"I thought Spider-Man died."
"Heard that May Parker was pissed about it."
"What an asshole, taking up Spidey's name for his bullshit."
These were just some of the few conversations he heard as he walked through the courtyard.
Finn sighed as he pushed open the doors to the cesspool of drama, sports, and relationship struggles, Highschool.
He still got a few stares of pity. His uncles were gay and one of them was a well respected cop that got sent to prison, a great way to stay under the radar.
'Whatever, let them gawk. I'm only here to keep up appearances.' Finn thought as he opened up his locker.
"Finn."
The boy looked over his shoulder to see Debra standing behind him, clutching her books close to her chest.
"What do you want Deb, I gotta get to class." Finn said as he removed a textbook from his locked and shutting it.
"You've been acting really weird since the "incident" and I--"
"Is that what we're calling it?" Finn scoffed.
"You're starting to worry me. And not just me, it's the whole science club too, MJ, Morbius, even Harry--"
Debra whipped around towards her, "Don't talk to me about "worry" ever again."
Debra gulped as she took a step backwards. "But Finn we just want to help."
"Help? Help?! Where were you when my uncle went to the hospital, huh? What about when I invited you to their wedding and only your parents showed up? Where were you then, because I'm really failing to see how you've "helped" me through the years." Finn snapped.
Debra felt tears well up in her eyes as some of the students had begun to stare at the two. She covered her mouth before running off down the hallway.
Finn opened his mouth to call out to her but he...couldn't. 'Damn...'
This was going to be a long day.

"Get out of my house, right now!"
A man ran out of a home with a white haired woman behind him with tears streaming down her face. In her hands was a newspaper with a single headline.
Spider-Man Strikes Again!
The woman slammed the door and stormed over to the phone. Picking up a photo, she stared longingly until the caller answered.
"H-hello? This is May Parker, I have a job for you Mr. Castle."

Finn quietly sipped from his carton of chocolate milk. He was too preoccupied with his laptop at the moment to pay attention to the rest of the world.
He had the same four photos on the screen that were posted on the screen from his bedroom.
'Alexander O'Hirn. This was one of the guys that ratted out Uncle Will.' Finn pulled up a file and a scowl darkened his features. 'Doesn't look like the model citizen either.'
