KSMRN wasn't just some letters.

Kill Spider-Man Right Now.

Mia waited until they passed Peter's locker, "Just a shitty letter from some dick."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mia waited until she had a free period before she made her way over to the library at the back of the school. She stayed there until lunchtime when she went to a more secluded area. Sure enough, 10 minutes later, Peter walked in. He jumped when he saw Mia with her phone at his normal table. "I-uh... Mia?" Mia nodded, not looking at him. "Talk, Parker. Now." Peter obviously looked uncomfortable because he shifted on his feet before slamming into the chair rather quickly. Mia out her phone down and stared Peter down. He gulped. "I didn't want to take that picture. I really didn't. I had no choice. I will explain another time if you want to" Mia mimicked. Peter gulped again and began fiddling with his hoodie. "I was being threatened." Mia frowned, deeply. "Peter, do I look like someone who was born yesterday?" Peter looked down at his shoes.

If being with mother was any indication, never cave. No matter who you're interrogating.

"They said that if I didn't take a picture of you, they would beat up Ned and... other things." Mia raised an eyebrow, "Other things are...?" Peter gulped (again, man) "They said that they would find you and MJ and rape you both." Mia's face fell slack. That wasn't what she was expecting... "Oh..." She managed, dumbly. Peter echoed her noise. "So, I gave them a photo of you. I meant for it to be of you laughing with MJ, but something made me jump and I clicked it too soon. MJ heard the snap so I ran away. I cut out your face when I saw the image and gave it to them." Mia didn't know what else to say except, "Thank you, Parker." Her response made Peter double take as he looked at her genuine expression. Mia rubbed the back of her neck, "I didn't mean to act like a dick to you about the letter. That wasn't fair." Peter nodded, "That's ok, I would've done the same. I've been in worse situations." Too late. Mia frowned, "What do you mean? Do you get abused at home?" Peter shook his head violently and tried to think of an excuse. "I...uh..." He jerked his chair out, ready to run, but his bag fell down.

Mia stared at the bag with wide eyes.

Peter stared at the bag with wide eyes.

The bag laid on the floor, open.

With the Spider-Man suit in full display.

Mia looked at Peter with wide eyes. Peter shrugged, "Costume party?" He tried, knowing full well that Mia wouldn't take that. Mia nodded and tapped her nose. "Sure," She winked.

The end of school arrived far too quickly. Peter, Ned, and MJ weren't in on the second to last day because they were looking for Mia.

She'd not come into school for 6 weeks now, her parents always ringing in with the same excuse: She has the flu.

Peter called bullshit and knew it was a lie because his "Peter tingle" was constantly going off in his head every time he walked past Mia's house. He kept a close eye on the cars and vehicles that went up to the drive or near the house.

The driveway and pathway were empty between 9-11, 1-3, 5-7. Peter told MJ and Ned about these times. Peter would take the evening shift when he did patrol, Ned would take the lunch shift and MJ would do the morning shift.

Peter triple checked his triple check of these times to make sure he wasn't putting his friends in danger.

It all went well, the secret check in's on Mia, she was very happy to see them all every time.

Until there wasn't another "every time."

MJ came into school looking very distressed. "I went to go to her house, but there was about 5 or 6 cars outside, all black with tinted windows."

Ned came into school after his lunch and said the same thing. "The number plates all said KSMRN" was his final sentence.

Peter went to check on her but saw 1 lone car. No others. No lights on. No evidence of anyone around. Peter was about to get KAREN to do a heat scan when somebody walked out. Peter hid behind the big chimney. The person pulled back a cover and what Peter saw chilled him to the bone.

KSMRN wasn't just some letters.

Kill Spider-Man Right Now was inked on the roof of the car.
