------------------------------------------------------

"Keith. Remove your hoodie and shirt now." Lance demanded as he crossed his arms, frowning in both worry and curiosity.

Keith's pale skin flared red at the words. On any normal circumstance Keith would have fainted from hearing those words from the guy he has a crush on.

But since he is in terrible pain he sighed and stood up, keeping his head down at he removed his hoodie before hesitating.

"Keith..." Lance said in an almost dad like voice, standing up as well so they were eye level.

Keith grimaced as he grabbed the bottom of his shirt and slowly lifting it up off his body, groaning from the strain on his beat up muscles.

One thing Keith was glad for at the moment was that swinging around the city and the spider powers made him more toned that he was before but not grossly ripped.
Keith hung his head in guilt and embarrassment.

------------------------------------------------------

Lance's Point of View
(Oh shit I did what)

Lance's breath caught in his throat when Keith removed his shirt.
His ocean blue eyes scanned up and down Keith's exposed skin. He didn't know if he lost his breathe from the huge bruises that covered Keith's shoulder and stomach or how toned Keith was.

(I'm not meaning to make this seem sexual I'm so sorry xD

Lance shook his head slightly and grabbed Keith's hand and lead him to the bathroom after apologizing to Leo.

Pushing Keith down gently to sit on the closed toilet lance began his search for the first aid kit and any other medical supplies that were there in silence.
His mind raced as he tried to think how Keith really got injured.
Yes it was normal for someone to get jumped in the city, terrible but normal.
But as Lance looked back over st the bruises on Keith he got worried about what the other got up to.

Lance pursed his lips as he continued his search. He knew Keith got into fights at school but it never was this bad.
Finally locating all the medical supplies the Cuban boy straighten up and set everything on the bathroom counter before he spoke up.

"What really happened Keith?" He asked as he found the medispore wrap, setting it to the side for later.

When Keith didn't respond right away Lance sighed and opened the bathroom door, calmly asking Leo to get him the ice packs from the freezer before going back to Keith.
Grabbing the foot stool that was there for the kids to use when brushing their teeth, Lance sat down in front of Keith.

Grabbing a washcloth and wetting it down Lance carefully tilted Keith's chin up, ocean eyes gazing into obsidian as Lance gently started to clean his face, scamning for any cuts but found none before he moved down to clean the cuts on the raven's knuckles.

"Keith..." Lance started to say as he gently held his hand to clean the cuts.
"If you are doing this cause of Shiro the-"

"I'm not." Keith quickly cut Lance off, causing the brown haired boy to look up at the other.

"...I'm sorry... I just don't want you to get hurt cause you lashed out." Lance mumbled before a knock sounded on the door.

Standing up, Lance opened the door and smiled as he took the ice packs from Leo.
The curly haired little boy stayed there though before shyly walking in and hugged Keith carefully.

"Sorry for jumping on you..." Leo mumbled as he kept his head down.
Lance smiled as he stared at Keith's shocked face, watching as it changed from shocked to caring as he returned the hug.

"Its fine. It wasn't your fault. I was already injured." Keith said pulling back before he ruffled Leo's hair with a smile on his face.
Lance handed Keith the ice pack for his face before grabbing the roll of medispore and started to wrap Keith's shoulder tightly, not tight enough to hurt but enough so he doesn't move it much to hurt it more.

"How did you get injured?" Leo asked tilting his head, his brown eyes wide with curiosity as he sat down on the stool.
Lance noticed Keith's almost forced smile but kept quiet as he continued to try and patch up the bruised boy.

"Well let me tell you a secret." Keith said in a playful tone as he leaned slightly closer to Leo.
Leo's eyes widened and he scooted closer to him.

"I'm a superhero."

"No way!!"

"Yes way."

Lance chuckled softly as he watched Leo's eyes get impossibly wide from Keith's obviously false statement.

"Its true. Picture it. I'm walking down the dark streets of the city on the way here when suddenly I'm grabbed from the side and pulled into a dark alle way. 2 figures are there with bats and planks of wood." Keith started off as his voice changed to one that held mystery and excitement.

"I told them not to mess with me if they knew what was good for them, but they wouldn't have it. They started to swing but I dodged and got a few punches in until one snuck up on me and smashed the bat on mg shoulder." Keith said pointing towards his now bandaged right shoulder.

Lance winced as he thought of that happening but brushed it off since Keith's story was obviously fake.

"I turned and kicked the guy with the bat in the stomach before turning to deal with the other guy when he swung his plank at me and got me in the stomach." Keith said as he sat up straighter so lance could bandage his torso, the Cuban teen noticing a slight red on the raven's cheeks as he continued his action packed story.

"They both thought they gotten the best of me when suddenly he showed up."

"He?!?! Who's he!?" Leo asked, almost yelling with excitement.

"Altea's very own Spider-Man." Keith said causing Lance to pause slightly with his wrapping.

"Spider-Man?" Lance asked intrigued before Leo jumped up and pounded the air with his fist.
"SPIDER-MAN!" He said grinning.

Keith chuckled and nodded, glancing over at Lance before continuing.

"Yep, Spider-Man. He swung down and kicked the plank of wood, breaking it before he shot web at the wood guys hand, sticking the plank to his hand. Then he knocked the two out and tied them up. After he helped me up he saluted before taking the criminals away." Keith finished letting out a breath from talking so much.

By that time Lance had finished wrapping his bruised torso and was now wrapping Keith's knuckles which didn't take long.

"DUDE! THAT IS TOTALLY WICKED!!! What did Spider-Man look like? Did he have a suit? Could you see his face? If you are a superhero what powers do you have? Have you ever worked with Iron Man?" Leo kept spouting off questions before Lance chuckled and ruffled his hair.

"Leo, go get ready for dinner ok? I'm sure Keith can tell you all about his powers and Spider-Man later ok?" Lance said as he gently pushed Leo out of the bathroom and cleaned up the medical supplies before handing Keith his shirt.

"Quiet a story you told there." Lance said chuckling as he looked over at Keith as the other pulled his shirt back on.

"I had figured that he needed to be distracted cause he felt bad for hurting me." Keith said scratching his neck as he grinned sheepishly.

Lance smiled and nodded. "Well thank you. But no more fights mister. It will become harder to make up stories like that to get out of trouble." He said brushing the story off as just a story.
Keith nodded and soon they both headed out to get ready for dinner.

------------------------------------------------------

Keith's Point of View

"In the past few weeks criminals have been swept off the streets and right into police hands as a vigilante by the name of Spider-Man catches them in his web. Police are wondering who this masked vigilante is and asks everyone not to approach him, as they say he is dangerous."

The news reporter cuts to a video of the chief of police addressing a crowd in front of the station.

"We cannot trust this spider vigilante, he captures criminals like it's a game, only getting people that have the same features. Where was he when we had to deal with mob bosses and threats bigger than a store robbery. We ask again that no one interact with him for he is dangero-"

The tv cut off as Keith turned it off, glaring at the now blank screen. He was helping the police and they call him a criminal, a vigilante. He sighed and grabbed his red hoodie, slipping the web shooters on as he hid the maroon bandana in his pocket.

"I'm going on a walk Ms. Holt, I'll be back in time for dinner!" He called as he walking out the front door not waiting for a reply.

He walked a ways down the street before turning in an alley. Quickly tying the bandana on and flipping his hood up he shot web up to the roof of the building and used it to pull himself on tip of the roof quickly. Once on top he started running and swinging from building to building as e began his nightly quest.

-

Keith hurried his way across the rooftops as his heart beat fast. He had been stalking a police radio when he heard of a crime with the culprit matched the photo of Shiro's killer. The reason why Keith was running recklessly?

The radio said the culprit had a lion print tattoo.

Keith had arrived before the Police and watched the criminal from the rooftops.
When the blonde male cut into the alley Keith quickly shot a web done and stopped his escape.

Jumping down into a crouch Keith lifted his head to look at the guy, a murderous glint in his eye.
The guy stumbled back slightly and looked at Keith with wide eyes.

"Y-you.. you're that vigilante."

"Spider-Man...  you are the criminal that killed my brother.." Keith growled as he strided closer to the other male.
The blonde guy stepped back and we about to turn and run but Keith was quicker. He shot a web at the guy and pulled on the string harshly, yanking the guy back towards him.

When he was close enough Keith punched him hard in the nose, this time his hands were wearing gloves made specially for fighting.
The guy stumbled back and went to swing at Keith but Keith stopped  the punch before it hit his face. Tightening his hold he glared down at the guy with dark eyes.

Lifting his knee he kneed him in his gut before shoving him away from the alley exit.

"You took my brother away from me." Keith seethed as he walked closer.

The guy stumbled back and reached into his coat and pulled out a gun and aimed it at Keith. Keith jumped up and flipped over the guy, dodging as his spider sense picked up where the bullet was headed when the blonde pulled the trigger.

Landing on the ground behind him Keith quickly shot web at the gun hand, trapping it there and making it so he couldn't pull the trigger again.
The guy turned around and quickly slammed the butt of the gun on Keith's forehead, causing the raven to stumble back as he started to bleed from the wound.

Adrenaline coursing through him the superhuman ignored the wound as he jumped and kicked the hand that held the gun. He broke the web and the gun flew out of the guys hand and landed somewhere unknown.
The guy looked back at Keith with wide eyes. He reached in his other pocket and pulled out a pocket knife. He advanced on Keith quickly, swinging the knife widely, desperate to land another blow on the raven haired male.

Keith dodge each one and jumped towards the wall on the left to attack but got caught in the knife path, the blade cutting through his hoodie and on his upper right arm.
Keith hissed but extended his legs out fast and knocked the guy down before pushing off the wall and landed standing over the blonde dazed guy.

Keith quickly shot web and coveted the guys mouth before webbing down his hands and arms, deciding to be the jokester and shot web to hit the guys privates, causing the blonde to let a muffled pained groan.

Keith knelt down slowly over the guy and grabbed his left wrist and yanked the sleeve down.
Keith's eyes widened as the outline of a lion print stood out against the guys skin. Keith felt his heart beat almost out of his chest as blood rushed to his head, making the wound there bleed worse.

All this searching lead him to his brothers killer. He could get revenge on him right now as the guy was powerless.

Keith picked up the knife the guy had dropped and gripped it tightly as he stared down at the guy with clouded dark indigo eyes.

A voice nagged him in the back of his head.

Keith. You know this is wrong.

Keith closed his eyes tightly and shook his head before opening them and looked down at the male.

Keith. You have been given this power for a reason. Don't use it to avenge me. It won't make things better. Please. Let him go and let police deal with him. For me.

Keith's eyes started to water as he listened to Shiro's voice in his head. His expression hardened as he stood up and threw the knife down. Hearing sirens closing in Keith pulled up the guy who took Shiro from this world too soon and glared at him.

"You aren't my problem anymore." He said in ragged breaths as he webbed the blonde guy up and shoved him out of the alley roughly, attracting the attention of the cops and of bystanders. Sparks flew from his web shooters, causing Keith to hiss slightly. Looking down he saw one was smoking. Letting out a defeated sigh, Keith quickly scaled the wall, pulling himself up on the rooftops and quickly made his way to his apartment building, tears falling silently down his face.

-

Keith reached his apartment and didn't bother going in the front door. He climbed the fire escape and crawled through the window and up the ceiling, shooting a web to close the door before he jumped down to the ground and let out a frustrated groan as he ripped his maroon bandana off angrily.

Behind him a loud crash sounded causing him to turn around quickly, his eyes widening as he saw his best friends Pidge and Hunk behind him, matching expressions of shock on all three of their faces.

"Pidge? Hunk? You ok?" Matt called concerned.

"Fine! Keith just got home and scared us!" Pidge called back in a surprisingly calm voice, their eyes never leaving Keith's.

When Matt had walked away Keith locked the door and looked at them worried.

"You- you're him. The vigilante, the person that scales walls, the guys that stopped the bank robbery." Hunk stuttered in shock.

"You're Spider-Man!?" Pidge said in shock as they stepped over the now broken Lego Death star that they and Hunk were building.

Keith sighed and nodded. "Yes but you can't tell any one ok? I'd get experimented on." He said as he started to take off his hoodie, frowning as he noticed he couldn't wear it anymore cause of how beat up and cutted it ended up.

"Ok first we need to clean you up. While we do that you are going to explain what happened." Hunk said getting a first aid kit.

While Hunk helped Keith clean his wounds Keith explained everything that happened. When he got to how he built the web shooters Pidge perked up, but stayed silent till the end.

When Keith had finished Pidge pushed up their glasses and asked to see the web shooters shoot.

"Well one of them is busted but the other is working." Keith explained but lifted the hand that had the working shooter and aimed at a bottle of water that sat on the desk across the room and yanked it so the bottle landed in his hand.

"Woah..." Pidge said and quickly got up and removed the web shooters from Keith and sat at the desk and started to tinker with them.

"This is amateur work at best. They were bound to break, just be glad it didn't happen when you were swinging." Pidge said as they took apart the shooters.

"What do you use to make the web solution?" Pidge asked as they started to list off chemicals that could have made up the web fluid.

"I have to switch out the pellets every once in a while. I got them from Galra Labs." Keith said as he watched Pidge, sad that his shooters were being taken apart.

"I could easily build better shooters and possibly made web fluid so you don't have to steal." Pidge said as they started to draw out a diagram to make new ones.

"How come you didn't tell us?" Hunk asked when he finished cleaning Keith up.

The raven haired male sighed and looked down as the attention was on him.
"I didn't tell anyone, not even Shiro knew. I didn't want to be experimented on or to get anyone in danger." He said frowning.
"I'm sorry. But I guess I can't be Spider-Man for a while since my disguise is ruined along with my shooters." He said sighing.

"I believe we can help with that. After all every superhero needs a sidekick." Hunk said smiling as Pidge cheered.

"Keith! Come here!" They all three heard Ms. Holt call from the living room. Confused Keith pulled on a new hoodie and moved his hair to cover the cut that wasn't actually that big.

Walking in the living room Keith saw the news with a picture of the guy Keith found to be Shiro's killer along with a picture of Shiro and Keith and two more photos of other people.

"Earlier this night the vigilante struck again," the report started off. "The killer that has haunted the streets of Altea has been stopped tonight by the cities Spider-Man. The killer known as Ivan has killed 3 locals and robbed many banks and convince stores. Our hearts are with the families of the victims, hoping they can finally rest now that the criminal is off the streets."

Keith felt tears in eyes once again. Ms. Holt smiled as tears filled her eyes as well.
"Oh Keith they found him. He won't hurt anyone again." Ms. Holt exclaimed as she pulled Keith in a hug.

Keith smiled and hugged her back, thanking her generously before the three friends went back to Pidge and Keith's room.

"I'm not a vigilante. I can help catch the bad guys. But I'm going to need help." Keith said once the door was closed as he looked at Pidge and Hunk.

Hunk nodded and smiled encouraging at Keith. The superhuman smiled and turned to Pidge and looked at them hopefully.

Pidge looked at him skeptically before before walking over and punched him hard in the arm.

"Ow! Pidge!" Keith said rubbing where she punched.

Pidge smiled playfully and nodded.
"You can count on us bud, let's make you an awesome hero."

Keith smiled and pulled his two beat friends into a hug, glad to have them in his life.
