Caldeus took out the trash quietly. Yeah I forgot to mention, his house had been renovated after it had been blown up by the Bomber.
He walked into the kitchen, thinking of what to cook.
"Caldeus, head to the clock tower!" Norman's urgent voice was heard from the comms.
He quickly suited up, and swung to the destination.
There, he saw a man flying.
" Well you don't see that everyday. " Caldeus said as he landed near the clock tower.
"Ahh, just who I wanted to see! Spiderman!" The man yelled, "my name is Jackson -"
"Wait, how are you flying!'
"I can control wind -"
" So you're basically the avatar! The last Airbender! Hey, that's a nice name! Yo Avatar, why don't you get your ass down here so we can talk!"
Avatar frowned at Spiderman, as he descended.
" Look man, I don't want to fight or anything. Why don't you just - ugh!" A strong gust of wind violently blew him away, making him crash into a building.
Avatar flew towards him, but he couldn't control his powers and ended up crashing into a wall.
"Avatar, you ok?" Spiderman asked, swinging towards him.
"Get away from me!" Avatar yelled blasting Spiderman away again," I don't need your help! Nobody ever helps me! I do everything myself!"
" I know what you mean, but you're doing the wrong thing! Dexter can't help you! He's using you guys!" Spiderman explained, cautiously moving towards Avatar.
"What do you know! You live the good life, working for Oscorp and all-"
" Wait, who told you I work for Oscorp?"
" That doesn't matter, how did YOU know I work for Dexter?"
The hero and villain stared at each other.
" Look Avatar, you don't have to do this, what's your goal anyway?"
" You know already, the Spider grid. Once we get the batteries and power it up, we'll be unstoppable!"
Spiderman swung towards him, dodging the wind balls that were tossed at him. He punched Avatar, pushing him backwards. He was about to attack again when he suddenly fell to the ground, a strong force pushing him down.
"Every second that passes I understand my abilities more and more. I am unstoppable. I am -"
He suddenly flew away, since he couldn't control his powers, he blasted himself out of the scene.
The pressure that kept Spiderman on the ground disappeared, and he slowly stood up.
" Well that was strange." He said, looking round.
*OSCORP*
Norman sat down, arms crossed, looking at Caldeus.
" Caldeus, he couldn't even control his powers, he's just a clown."
" No! Mr Osborn, I know what I'm saying! He was becoming more dangerous every moment.
I need to find him and stop him before he becomes worse!"
" I'll see what I can do." Norman waved him off.
Caldeus swung to work,where all he had to do was unbox boxes.
After work, he decided to go to Spiderman's graveyard.
He stood there, looking at the stone that read, "HERE LIES SPIDERMAN" .
Caldeus shook his head sadly. "Hey Peter, I'm Caldeus. People know me as Spiderman, and I know that this is weird, but I don't know what to do. There's this new vilian and I have no clue how to stop him. Well, currently he's a loser but I know he could be dangerous later on. And-"
"Hello there. Seems like you knew my boy." An old lady said from behind.
Caldeus jumped, startled. For some reason he didn't detect her with his spider sense.
"Ah, don't worry. I'm not threat, I've just surpassed the level where I'll be detected by a spider." She said. Caldeus' eyes widened in surprise.
She smiled calmly at him, but he wasn't letting his guard down.
"My name is May, I was his aunty." She introduced herself, still smiling. Caldeus watched her as she dropped her flowers.
" Trust me young man, I know how it feels carrying this responsibility on your shoulders. I mean, being Spiderman isn't a walk in the park."
"How did you know I'm -"
"Oh, I know a spider when I see one.".
They stood in silence, as a gentle wind blew.
"Mrs May, how was Peter like?"
"He was a good boy. He has a son too. I'm glad he married the lady of his dreams." She said with a sad smile, " I really loved him." She was sobbing now.
He wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
"It's fine ma'am. He was a good man, we all loved him."
——spider sense ——
Caldeus looked around but he didn't see anything.
Was he tweaking?
But then the spider sense came again, even stronger. He grabbed Aunt May and hurried out of the cemetery.
She looked at him, confused. He continued moving forward till they left the cemetery.
"Mrs May, get out of here. Leave as fast as you can!" He yelled, as his suit enveloped his body( through the nanotechnology developed by Norman). Aunt May nodded and ran, though her old age limited her movements. The air around Spiderman became cooler.
He hit his usual pose, looking round. Suddenly, a snow flake dropped on his shoulder. He frowned, because it wasn't winter.
Suddenly, a large ball of fire blasted him away, but he barely dodged,as he crashed into a school bus. He slowly stood up, looking round.
" Hello there Spiderman, don't tell me you've forgotten me." A familiar voice sounded, slowly descending.
" I'll be damned," Caldeus spat, " Avatar?"
Avatar smiled as he charged towards Spiderman.

Dexter sat in a dimly lit office, drinking beer from a large bottle.
He smiled as he watched Spiderman's fight from a screen.
**********
Spiderman swung around, dodging fireballs, but the moment he landed, the ground suddenly moved, and soon he was stuck.
" Man what the - ugh!" A heavy punch located his stomach, sending him flying.
