{Two Weeks Later}
Violet, Minerva, and Omar sit with you as the group discusses their English project, which was a presentation on the book The Handmaid's Tale.
Violet: Have you finished your part of the slides?
Omar: Not yet, but I only need two more.
Minerva: I've already got mine done.
Violet looks at you.
You: Uh....well....
Violet: Come on, Y/N. How does Omar have more slides done than you?
Omar: Uh, I'm right here.
You: Things just came up. I'll get it done though, don't worry.
You were technically telling the truth. New York is the city that never sleeps.
Minerva: We're going to hold you to that.
Violet: That's if Louis let's him work.
You discuss the project for the rest of the class, and the bell rang.
The four of you left class. Minerva and Omar went one way while you walked with Violet.
Violet noticed you in your thoughts.
Violet: Everything alright?
You: I keep thinking about Ben....we were starting to get to know him. He was a good guy.
Violet: Unfortunately, he's gone now. I don't know what Spider-Man did, but he got rid of him for good.
You look down, you honestly didn't know what you did.
She holds you shoulder.
Violet: Just don't think about it. Okay?
You nod, and moments later you meet up with Clementine and Louis in the courtyard.
You give Clementine a kiss as you greet her.
Louis: Y/N, ready for that Knicks game tonight?
Violet looks at you.
Violet: See what I mean?
She then looks back at Louis.
Violet: Y/N has to work on his part of the project for English. He promised us he would get it done soon.
Louis: Yuck. Can you let him live a little?
You: She's right. Besides, I'm going to meet with my aunt later today and go right back home to finish it up.
Louis nods. Then looks toward the coffee stand.
Louis: Alright. Anybody want coffee? On my tab.

{Later That Day}
THWIP!
You swing across the city on your way to your aunt's house in Queens. You figured taking the skies would be faster than any taxi cab in the city.
You finally make it to your block, and start taking off your suit by the side of your house. You change back into your regular clothes, and walk up to the porch.
You knock on the door, and moments later your aunt answers the door.
Aunt: Y/N! Good to see you!
You: Hey, Aunt Y/A/N.
The both of you hug, and she lets you in.
It's been awhile since you came back home, but everything looked the same. Furniture was how it used to be, family pictures in the same spot. Your uncle's watch in the same place on the coffee table....
Aunt: What brings you here?
You: I can't just visit the most important lady in my life?
Aunt: If you would've told me before, I could've made dinner.
You: Didn't want you to overwork yourself.
She ends up bringing you a cup of coffee as the both of you sit in the living room.
Aunt: How's college life treating you, honey?
You: It's been great. Grades are good, being with my friends is a bonus....
Aunt: And how's it all going with Clementine?
You smile as you look down at your mug.
You: Amazing.
Aunt: You two are so cute together. I remember when she first moved here, you couldn't get your eyes off of her. It was like she was an angel sent from heaven.
You chuckle, remembering exactly how you felt in the beginning.
You: Yeah....
You then take a sip from your mug
~~~
{A While Later}
After conversing with your aunt, you bid farewell and leave the house. You quickly run to the side of the house and change into your Spider-Man suit.
THWIP!
You swing away, and speed through the city. It was time to get back home and work on that project.
You are about to make it to Williamsburg Bridge when your spider sense goes off.
The arrow barely misses you as you dodge it.
You: Woah!
You quickly stick to the side of a building, and survey your surroundings.
You look across and see a man with a crossbow. He shoots another arrow at you, but you leap away and swing to the rooftop he's on.
You perch yourself on the side of the rooftop as you face him. He wears a brown vest embroidered with fur on top of a black shirt, along with light brown pants and a necklace of what seems to be lion teeth.
A/N: Original redesign is by Green-Mamba on DeviantArt. But I added Carver's face to it.
You: Looks somebody missed their stop at the Central Park Zoo. Need directions?
???: Spider-Man....what a fascinating creature you are.
You: I'm flattered....I guess. And you are?
Kraven: I'm William Carver....better known as Kraven The Hunter!
You: I've heard many names in my career....that's probably the best one if I'm being honest. Rolls off the tongue well.
Kraven then unsheathes two machetes and leaps towards you. You front flip over and land behind him.
You: Woah! First flattery, then attempted murder?
Kraven: I've been watching you for some time Spider-Man....you are what I desire.
You: Okay....this is getting weird.
Kraven: You are the ultimate prize! Your head will look good on my wall.
You: Nobody's taking any heads here....especially not mine.
Kraven then charges at you whilst swinging his two machetes. You dodge his blows as you kick him away. You web his arm to a wall.
You: Let's play nice here, Bill.
Kraven laughs as he uses his free arm to cut away at the web.
Kraven: A species like you is intriguing. Superior agility, superhuman strength, heightened senses. That's what makes this hunt fun.
You: You couldn't just take up game hunting in like....Montana or something?
Kraven gives a menacing grin, as he sheathes his machetes and takes out his crossbow.
You get back in your fighting stance.
You: Oh boy.
