Enjoy!

It was an early morning in Queens as Spider-Man was seen running through the rooftops, jumping through vents and jumping from roof to roof, having his own personal cardio as he kept on the course, swinging his way to a building too far for him to jump.

Narrator: When Uncle Ben died, the words, "With Great Power, Comes With Great Responsibility" stuck with me. It stuck with me hard because it made me appreciate how much he did for me and May.

Spider-Man landed on a roof, rolling onto his side, taking a breather.

Narrator: And hearing the words, I'd figure that would be the universal saying for everyone who's not just running a job, or having superpowers, but for everyone who's a parent. Apparently, not everyone got the message.

Spider-Man took to peek his head around at a news report of the incident of Avengers Tower being set on fire, with the Vulture being the main cause for the incident due to his theft.

Narrator: As seen for one Adrian Toomes, AKA Vulture. (Spider-Man shook his head as he started running again) Crazy thing is, he's not only a bad guy, but he's also a caring Father Figure for his Daughter, Liz. (He lands on another roof, only to jump off to land on a light pole) Which is why I don't get it. How could someone so caring for their kids resort to a life of crime, and then just keep doing it? How could someone like him keep a secret so terrible that they've become so good at hiding it from their family?

Spidey started hopping from one light pole to another until he stopped to look at a TV store that had TV sets online, playing out a scene from Star Wars as Spider-Man watched, paying close attention to one memorable iconic moment...

Vader: Luke... I am your Father.

Luke: (Cringes his face as he shook his head) No... That's not true... That's impossible!

Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Luke: (Has a look of complete despair) NO! No!

Narrator: (Spidey nodded in sympathy as he sighed mentally) Man, I hear you all too well Luke. And unfortunately, so will Liz soon enough.

Spider-Man leaped off of the pole and started to make his way to the suburbs, running into people's backyards without even trying to stop.

Once he made his destination, Spider-Man spun a web on to a roof, staring at the house of the Allan-Toomes Residence, home of Liz Allan and Adrian Toomes. When he was ready, he got into the house through Liz's room and started to quietly open the back window, preparing to crawl his way inside.

Narrator: (Spider-Man stands up and turns to take a look at Liz and Her Dad together on a beach) Liz deserved so much better than this. And speaking as someone who's had parental issues for the last 11 years is definitely worth saying something, and I know the pain of being betrayed all too well. So the faster I find Adrian and put an end to this, the less pain she has to go through in finding out what Daddy's actual career is behind the scenes.

He started to walk down the stairs and entered the dining room area, taking a close look around when he heard a loud POP from behind him. Turning around, he saw Toomes sitting on a chair in the living room having opened a glass of wine as Spider-Man took immediate notice of his appearance while Adrian looked plaintive.

Adrian: (Looks at Spider-man) Good ole' Spider-Man. (Scoffed as he grabbed the wine, pouring it on his glass) So, I'm guessing my Daughter told you where we lived? Or did she show you? Or did those high and mighty Suits in their Fancy Towers use their fancy-panty satellites to look up where we live? Or, does it even matter?
