Sorry I haven't posted for a while I needed some time to refresh my brain. Anyway it's Bryan's turn now and the next few chapters will be about him.

And now it's Bryan's turn...

The team got on the jet and left the facility and Web-Warriors as they all tried to comprehend what they'd just seen.

Floyd was first to speak "Ok first. Congrats on Bryan for unmasking Spider-Man! And second...WHAT THE HELL! Can someone here please explain to me why Spider-Man looks exactly like Bryan!"

Maggie gasped "What if Bryan is a clone of Spider-Man! Just like the Spider Slayers!"

They all stared at her, Blake deadpanned "Maggie, we all know Bryan ain't no clone."

"Then how do you explain the resemblance?" Audrey asked.

"Maybe Spider-Man's the clone?" Lewis suggested earning him a slap from Kate,

"I'm just going to pretend you didn't say that."

"Seriously dude." Casey said

"Oh! And like you have a better suggestion! Go ahead I'm all ears!" Lewis shot back

"Look maybe it's just a coincidence. If any of you were paying attention they aren't exactly alike, Bryan's hair is a lighter brown and his eyes are dark blue. We've seen people who look alike but aren't related."

Oscar joined in "Is everyone ignoring the fact that Spider-Man knew Bryan's name?! What's your answer for that?!"

"Well, why don't we just ask the 'Spider-Man look alike' himself what he thinks." Dennis waved an accusing hand at Bryan. Everyone turned their attention to the leader awaiting his answer.

Bryan does have a theory, but there's no way he's going to tell his team what it is. Mostly because he's really hoping it's not true. But still he would never lie to his team so he told them what he really thinks.

Bryan stood up straight and faced his teammates,

"Look I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Why me and Spider-Man, of all people look alike. How the hell he knew my name. Or really anything right now...and until I find out no one is to tell anyone about this. Especially not Crossbones."

Casey puts his hands in the air "Woah Woah wait?! Why aren't we telling anyone that we now know what Spider-Man looks like under the mask?!"

"Because how will it sound when we tell Crossbones that Spider-Man looks oddly similar to me. How do you think they will react when they hear that one of their top young agents is identical to one of HYDRA's top enemies? I don't know about all of you but I don't plan on getting into any trouble and having to do an extra 5 hours of pain induce training. My ribs are still sore from last time. And we all know it's not just going to be me going through it, and I doubt you guys wanna spend the 'only' day a month we get to go into the city, too much in pain to even move. We're already in trouble, because this was supposed to be a quick mission in and out without trouble. And S.H.I.E.L.D wouldn't have even known we were going to be there if Floyd hadn't tripped the alarm on our last mission."

Bryan took a deep breath and calmed himself "Blake, did you manage to get the device?"

"I had a bit of trouble with Scarlet Spider..." she held up rather large and strange looking device "But yeah I got it." and she tossed it to him.

Bryan caught it and turned to the control panel just as they approached the base and he faced his team once more before heading to the door. "This stays between us. Got it."

They all nodded and exit the jet onto the platform, Bryan handed the device over to another agent to where he ordered them back to their room to await their next orders.

...

The fact that they still acquired the device as ordered, the team was let off easy, or as easy they will ever get and the training was only 4 hours with a little less pain than usual. They were sent back to their room right after.

The next day they were given their usual rules before being allowed outside.

No talking about HYDRA or your missions to others who aren't the team

Friends are for the weak

Stay away from any authorities, Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D

Be back at exactly 9:00pm

A minute late and you will be punished

Break any of these rules and consequences will be severe

Bryan had already broken one of those rules...

Roxie Marsh is Bryan's girlfriend, the two had met on Bryan's first day out, but at first he took the rules to mind and didn't say much to her. But on the second day aka a month later he found her looking for him surprised she'd actually remembered him. She told him she would like to be friends.

Friends are for the weak

Break any of these rules and consequences will be severe

But if no one ever finds out?

It was the first time Bryan dared to disobey direct orders, so every month he went out Bryan would meet Roxie in a private place and just talk. She wanted to give him her number so they can talk when they're not together but Bryan had told her that it was too dangerous. That was his slip up. After that Roxie flooded him with questions about his private life, demanding to know why it's so dangerous for her to just give him a phone number. That's when he broke a second rule...

No talking about HYDRA or your missions to others who aren't the team

He didn't tell her it was HYDRA specific but he did tell her it was complicated to explain everything and only gave her very discreet details.

...

Bryan and Roxie were sitting in they're usual spot a small cave near the edge of the water it wasn't really much of a cave but still it was secluded and seemed as though they're the only two who knows it's even here. But going there was also breaking another rule...

Stay away from any authorities, Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D

Because that spot is pretty close to the Triskelion...

Bryan was leaning against the wall of the cave with Roxie sitting on his lap both staring out at the water. He had his arms wrapped around her as she held his in her own, Roxie stared up at him confused he had been way more quiet than usual and the look on his face made it clear he had something on his mind.

"Bryan...is there something wrong?" She looked up at him as he continued to stared at the ocean.

"...I don't know." It was true he didn't know, he was still trying to wrap his head around things.

"That's not good enough." Roxie sat up and turned to face Bryan in the eyes

"I know you're scared to tell me about it...but you shouldn't have to be..." then she brought up a topic they had talked about multiple times before.

"You shouldn't be living there."

"Roxie...we've talked about this time and time again and the answer is always the same-"

She interrupted him "Yeah yeah I know, you have nowhere else to go...I still don't believe that."

"I've told you they took us in when no one else wanted us."

"I don't believe that!..Even though we only get to see each other once a month I feel like I've known you for years. And I can't think of any reason why no one would love you. You're kind and sweet and not at all like the people you claim to be your family. And the same goes for the others-"

"Roxie-"

"No. Let me finish! I've heard the same story over and over again and everytime it continues to make no sense whatsoever! You've told me that all of you were abandoned by your parents as babies. But I just can't believe that all your parents were so cruel that they would want a child just to dumb them on the streets the day they were born. It makes no sense to believe that group of parents would come together and plan to leave their unwanted children in the same ally, on the same night, of the exact same day they were all born. What part of that makes any sense?!"

She waited for an answer...Bryan didn't have one.

"Exactly..." Roxie took a deep breath and relaxed "You know what forget it for now, just tell about what happened today. I know it must be something important from how quiet you are right now."

"Roxie...have you ever seen someone that you've never met before ever in your life, and yet they look almost exactly identical to you?"
