The Time was Seven Ten a.m, Desmond was asleep in his apartment as he heard his alarm going off as he ignored it but soon got irritated as he turned it off and went back to sleep. He was sleeping peacefully until he heard a knock on his door as he sighed to himself before he got out of bed as he opened the door and saw his landlord.

Landlord: Were you sleeping?

Desmond: No. . . .

Landlord: You haven't paid your rent yet and your already six months late.

Desmond: Wait, I'll give you the money by-

Landlord: Desmond, You keep saying that everytime. Look, Your a nice guy and all but I can't tolerate this.

Desmond: I'm sorry.

Landlord: *Sighs* This is your last chance. Pay your rent or you'll be evicted.

Desmond sighed to himself as the landlord left as he closed the door and began stretching as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Desmond went to the bathroom and took a shower as he changed into his casual clothes. He put on his shoes as he began looking through his phone for job offers as he couldn't find any as he sighed to himself.

Desmond continued looking for more job offers until he saw an offer from the Daily Bugle as he was thinking about the offer until he accepted it.

Desmond: I guess The Daily Bugle might need a photographer or maybe a journalist.

(That's the worse idea ever Desmond, Your seriously gonna work a boss like Jonah?)

Desmond sighed to himself as he knew he had no other choice as he decided to write an article about a certain topic as he finished it and put some pictures inside a envelope as he got up from his seat and exited his apartment.

Desmond was walking through the streets of New York as he was feeling nervous but he managed to cool himself down as he continued walking until as he was having some thoughts.

(Let's hope the interview at the bugle goes well)

Desmond continued walking until he saw the Daily Bugle Building as he was gonna enter the building until a security guard stopped him.

Security Guard: Your not allowed to go inside.

Desmond: I'm here for an interview.

Security Guard: Sorry, You need a pass to get inside.

Desmond looked at the guard as he walked around the building until he had an idea.

Desmond looked around as no one was around as he began crawling on the wall as he had a smile on his face before he entered the building as he saw multiple employees walking around as he was walking past them.

Desmond saw the office as he heard someone saying "Come In" as he entered the office and saw who it was.

(He already looks upset, This is not good)

Jonah: What are you doing here?!?!

Desmond: Ummm, I'm here for the interview.

Jonah: How about Scram? Or Two Words: "Scram Kid" or Seventeen Words: "Get out of my office in 2.3 seconds or I'll staple you to a pole"

Desmond: How did you- Nevermind, Look I'm here for the interview.

Jonah: Alright, Journalist or Photographer?

Desmond: Ummm Both.

Jonah: Show me an article you wrote. If it's stupid, I'll kick you out.

Desmond showed him the article as Jonah was reading it while smoking a cigarette until he threw the article back to Desmond as he looked at him.

Jonah: That's the worse thing I have ever seen. Why talk about Science?

Desmond: Well-

Jonah: Leave that aside, Show me what pictures you have.

Desmond gave him an envelope as Johah ripped open it and began looking at the pictures until he shouted at Desmond.

Jonah: That's the worse pictures I have ever seen! You think these pictures will get us money.

Suddenly A Women called Jonah as he answered back at her.

Jonah: What is it Miss Brant?

Betty: Your wife called, She said she lost the check book.

Jonah: Thanks For The Good News.

Desmond: Look Sir-

Jonah: Look Kid, I can't give you a job with crap like this. It's not good for the Bugle.

(I guess I know one way to win him over)

Desmond: *Shows him an envelope* Will these pictures work?

Jonah: *Takes the envelope* This better be good or your fired!

Desmond looked at him as Jonah ripped open the envelope and saw pictures of Spider Man fighting criminals as he was shocked. He looked back at Desmond as he couldn't believe it.

Jonah: Finally! Something good to print! I can see today's headlines, Wall Crawler creates more mayhem around New York.

Desmond: Wait What?

Jonah: He's a menace, Don't you check out my podcast?

Desmond: No, I don't actually.

Jonah: Then What are you waiting for?!?! Your hired by the way.

Desmond: Thank you.

Jonah: In fact, Here's your pay. I'll give you fifty dollars.

Desmond: Seriously?

Jonah: Fine your-

Desmond: I'll take it.

Jonah: Give this check to Miss Brant.

Desmond: Will do.

Jonah continued looking at the pictures as Desmond grabbed the check and walked out of the office as he saw Betty Brant.

Desmond: Hey there.

Betty: Hello, You must be the new photographer right?

Desmond: Yeah, My Name is Desmond Ketch.

Betty: Nice to meet you Desmond, I'm Betty Brant.

Desmond: *Gives her the check* How do you guys even work for Jameson anyways?

Betty: He might he annoying and all but he is a good man with a good heart.

Desmond: I see.

Betty: Well Here's your pay, Have a nice day Desmond.

Desmond: Thanks.

Ketch left the Bugle as he walked outside until a car splashed water on him as he glared at the car as he fixed his hair.

(Today is starting to reek, I got my head yelled at by Jameson, A Car splashed water on me, I only got fifty dollars in my pocket and Oh I forget I'm gonna get evicted soon)

Desmond continued fixing his hair until he heard a crowd shouting someone's name as he was confused until he saw who the crowd was cheering for.

Desmond saw some of the civilians cheering for them as they smiled at them and gave them autographs as Desmond was gonna walk away until he heard something from the police broadcast.

Officer: We have a robbery in a jewellery shop, Multiple Hostages. Requesting Backup.

Desmond: Here we go.

Meanwhile In a Jewellery Shop, Some Robbers was stealing some jewellery as they were pointing their guns at the hostage.

Robber: Let's be quick, I can't wait to be on her live stream.

Robber: Me too, We're gonna be famous.

Suddenly they heard something as they saw Desmond in his Spider Man suit staring at the thugs as they were shocked.

Robber: Oh Crap, The Spider.

Desmond: Alright, Let's get this over with.

Two Robbers tried to shoot Desmond but he jumped over their heads and hit a...

Two Robbers tried to attack Desmond but he slide under them as he took both of them down with a...

The Robbers was unconscious as Desmond was checking on the hostages as they were alright and safe until he heard something from the Robbers radio as he was listening to it.

Unknown: *On Radio* Hello, Is anyone alright? Lol, Let me guess you got beaten up by Spider man. AHHHHHHHH!!! That means my follower count will increase even more.

Desmond: Oh Great, It had to be her.

Meanwhile at the rooftop party showed some civilians dancing as someone was on the stage.

Screwball: Thank you all for helping me reach Two million followers!!! You guys are the best!!!!

Screwball turned up the music as she began dancing on the stage until she saw a thug flying towards the table as he was unconscious until Screwball saw Desmond standing on the table.

Screwball: Hey, Your not allowed to be here! This is a party for subscribers only!

Desmond: This is getting old Screwball, Your just making yourself look stupid in front of your followers.

Screwball: Lmao, Your just jealous because I have more followers than you.

Desmond tried to hit Screwball with a roundhouse kick but she ran away quick as she taunted him.

Screwball: This Whole Building is rigged with explosive by the way. I'm kidding there is no bombs.

Screwball ran fast as Desmond began chasing her as she got inside a truck and began driving as Ketch was following her.

Screwball: My Followers count is gonna explode when I live stream Spider Man chasing down Screwball.

Desmond shot a web line at the truck as Screwball began driving fast until Desmond shot a cobweb on the truck as she couldn't drive anyone. She got out of the truck as she charged towards Desmond but he moved aside as she tripped.

Screwball: Omg, A Fight with Spider man can-

Screwball: You only caught me because I wanted you to catch me. Look how many followers I gained- -YES!!

Desmond: You are the definition of a narcissist.

The Police arrived as Captain Stacy and Yuri saw Screwball as they sighed to themselves.

George: Her again?

Desmond: Yeah, She paid some thugs to rob a jewellery shop while she live streamed it.

Yuri: I'll get her to the police car.

George: Alright then.

Yuri got Screwball back down as she put the handcuffs on her as she escorted her to the police car.

Screwball: Hey! Mind if I live stream on the way to the station?

Yuri got her inside the car as the car drove to the police station as Desmond looked at George and Yuri.

George: Not a great way to start off the day.

Desmond: Yeah I already started off my day with a headache.

Yuri: Same here, Well let's hope Screwball doesn't get out again.

George: I hope so too, I'm getting really tired of her.

Desmond: Same here.

George and Yuri got back to the police car and drove off as Desmond shot a web line and began swinging around the city.
