3rd Person POV:

"Dear Peter...

If you are reading this, I'm dead... Or Ned ratted me out and gave it to you right away.

Anyway, since I know without an explanation you would not give up, I'll tell you what's going on.

It started as a kid... Like so many, I've wanted to be a hero. And with my dad as a cop, he especially inspired me.

When I say I want to be a hero, I REALLY want to be one. I'd go so far as to do all of this.

I've always liked you Peter, but when I found out your secret, I hate to admit it, but I definitely wanted you.

And not for the right reasons.

I stole your spare mask and have been beating up criminals whenever I can.

And I've been doing it even before the scarecrow incident.

Not sorry... It was thrilling.

Peter, I know you're worried but don't be. I hold all the cards.

Okay... I know since I mentioned that you might be reading this if I died, but I'm like 96% sure Ned is going to just give you this.

So know this. My family is kidnapped because I beat up and took some memory drive a henchman was carrying.

They tried to get me to give it back for the safe return of my family, but I know how important it is to them, so I threatened them right back.

And It worked.

I've slowly been decrypting the drive whilst locating their base.

I know I can do this. When I get back, I know you'll be mad...

But I hope we can be partners in more than one way when I return.

Love- Gwen S.

P.S: You do mean a lot to me."

Read the letter Gwen left for Peter to hopefully get him to stop.

But all it did was left him dumbfounded.

Peter:... S-she's... And idiot...

Ned: Should we let her-

Peter: NO! UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!

Ned: W-well... It does seem this means a lot-

Peter: What are you saying? Have you lost your mind too?

Peter: Ned! I! Me! (points at himself) This guy!

Peter: Has superpowers... I can dodge bullets... I can sense danger!

Peter: And you're telling me, I should let little miss adrenaline junky with no powers to throw herself into danger?!

Peter: My god... I always feared that a child would stupidly swing from a rope to try and copy me...

Peter: But this... What the hell!?!

Peter: I need to put an end to this now!

Peter: Do you know where she is?

Ned: No...

Peter: But...?

Ned: She took your old spidey suit and web shooters.

Peter: Did she take the whole bag...?

Ned: Yeah.

Peter: Good. Because I have a tracker in there.
