The time was eight twenty two a.m, Desmond was at the police station as he was in the interrogation room. Ever since Lucas revealed his identity to Jameson. The whole has been buzzing nonstop with the public was also hating on Desmond for the recent crimes that happened yesterday. He was looking around in the room until he heard a door opening as he saw Yuri entering the room and speaking to him.

Yuri: You became quite a celebrity Desmond.

Desmond: You got it all wrong.

Yuri: Look Desmond, I don't want to hear any of your excuses. Just tell us where are the stolen goods?

Desmond: I didn't steal anything, I'm being framed for all this.

Yuri: So your not Spider Man?

Desmond: I'm not Spider Man.

Yuri: Desmond, Just tell us the truth. It's over.

Desmond: Your seriously gonna believe some guy who goes up to Jameson and claims I'm Spider Man without any evidence to prove that.

Yuri: You know whenever Desmond Ketch leaves a certain scene, Spider Man suddenly shows up. Isn't that suspicious?

Desmond: For the last time Yuri, I'm not Spider Man. The Spider Man you saw last night was wearing a different suit.

Yuri: Probably you tried to fool the public by wearing a different suit and once your done creating mayhem, You switch back to your classic suit and pretend it wasn't you.

Desmond: The truth is I'm not Spider Man and I'm being framed for all of this.

Yuri was staring at Desmond as she got up from her seat and left the interrogation room as he sighed to himself and continued looking around in the room.

(Can't break out or I'll cause even more trouble)

Desmond sighed to himself as he was sitting by the chair as he was thinking about everything that has happened.

One hour has passed as Desmond looked at the time on his watch until he heard the door opening as he saw Yuri speaking to him.

Yuri: Your free to leave.

Desmond got up from his seat as he was gonna walk out of the interrogation room until Yuri stopped him as she spoke to him.

Yuri: Remember We're watching your every move.

Desmond didn't responded to her and immediately walked away as Yuri was watching him. Desmond eventually made it out of the police station as he was thinking about everything that has happened until he heard someone calling his name.

Desmond looked in front of him and saw Marina calling his name as he walked towards and she immediately spoke to him.

Marina: Get inside the car or else the media will show up.

Desmond nodded and immediately got inside the car as Marina also got in the car and started the engine as she began driving away from the police station.

Marina continued driving as she saw Desmond looking at the city through the window as she noticed he was thinking about something.

Marina: Is it true Desmond?

Desmond: Marina, I'm telling the truth. I'm not Spider Man.

Marina: Okay, I believe you.

Desmond *Sighs* Thank you Marina. Ever since that guy framed me, Jameson made the whole city think I'm Spider Man without any evidence to prove it.

Marina: Right now, You need to lay low. Wait till everything cools down.

Desmond: I hope so too.

Marina continued driving until She and Desmond noticed something on the large television screen in front of them.

Desmond: Ah come on.

Suddenly Marina and Desmond noticed reporters running towards the car as she immediately drove away as the reporters stopped in one place and watched the car driving away.

One reporter began talking about what happened as he branded Desmond as Public Enemy #1.

Meanwhile Gionna was at her room getting ready as she fixed her hair and left the room until she heard a notification as she got her phone and saw a message from Leah.

Leah has been messaging Gionna for the last few days and wanted to talk to her about something. Liv was gonna reply to the message until she heard Cassie and Jessica screaming downstairs as she immediately ran down.

Dori: What happened you two?

Lexi: You two were screaming like you seen a ghost.

Jessica: Guys, You won't believe what we just saw.

Michelle: What is it?

Thea: It better be serious.

Cassie: It is serious, Look at this everyone.

The group looked at each other as they were looking at the laptop and they were shocked by what was written.

Daily Bugle: Desmond Ketch Is Spider Man!

Everyone was shocked by what was written on the news as Gionna saw a video as she clicked on it and the group watched the video.

Reporter: Desmond Ketch A Photographer from the Daily Bugle is revealed to be the masked vigilante known as Spider Man. Although we tried to get an interview from him, He's seemingly doesn't want to comment on this.

Reporter: Last night Desmond Ketch caused destruction around the museum and stole valuable artifacts and more. More of this story will be shown soon.

Maria: That's impossible.

Lexi: I agree with that, No way Desmond is Spider Man.

Priscilla: What if he is Spider Man?

Jessica: Priscilla, We've known him from before. He doesn't look like this type of guy to get involve in a fight.

Gionna was looking at the picture of Desmond as she was shocked by the revelation but she didn't believe it at all. The group immediately left the house as they were thinking about what they saw.

Suddenly they saw multiple reporters surrounding them as they were upset.

Chris: Great, Reporters to bother us.

Reporter: Is it true that Desmond is Spider Man?

Reporter: We know he was friends with all of you and we wanted to know your thoughts on this.

Gionna: This seems to be false information by Jameson. What evidence does he have to prove that Desmond is Spider Man?

Dori: She has a point, We refuse to believe this is true.

The Reporters asked them more questions but the group pushed through them and got inside the car as they began driving away.

Meanwhile Leah and her friends were at the cafe talking to each other as Leah was waiting for Gionna's response. Suddenly they noticed reporters entering the cafe and spoke to them.

Reporter: We want to know your thoughts on something.

Nick: What thoughts?

Reporter: You haven't seen the news? Desmond Ketch is revealed to be the masked vigilante known as Spider Man.

Robert: Wait what?

CJ: That Geek is a vigilante?

Natalya: I never knew that.

Nick: We don't actually believe this.

Reporter: What about you?

Leah: I don't know honestly about this.

She told the group to leave the cafe as they immediately left and got inside the car as they began driving away.

Meanwhile Desmond was at Marina's house as he got a phone call as he looked at the caller ID and it was Tay calling him as he immediately answered the phone.

Desmond: Hello?

Tay: Desmond, Are you alright? Where are you?

Desmond: I'm fine. I'm right now at Marina's house.

Tay: Okay that's good to hear. Listen I spoke to Captain Stacy about this and he said he's investigating the matter. Even he believes Your not Spider Man.

Desmond: Alright then. You and Anna also be careful, The Media is gonna bother you.

Tay: Alright, You take care of yourself.

She disconnected the call as Desmond got another phone call from Diana as he immediately answered it.

Diana: Desmond, Are you Alright?

Desmond: I'm fine sis, Just I'm staying at Marina's house to lay low.

Diana: Jameson is a-

Desmond: Sis Calm down, Everything is gonna be okay.

Diana: Your being framed Desmond, Don't worry Me and Elizabeth are gonna help you.

Desmond: Thanks, You also be careful. The Media will bother you.

Diana: You also take care brother.

Meanwhile Ethan was talking to Magnus in his corporation as they were walking outside until they saw the media surrounding them as they began asking them questions.

Reporter: So Ethan, What do you think of this news?

Ethan: Obviously Desmond need to be arrested for what he has done last night. To think he can fool everyone by wearing a different spider man costume and create mayhem and then switch back and pretend he's the good guy.

Reporter: I see, What about you Magnus?

Magnus: I don't believe this at all. What evidence is there to prove he's Spider Man?

The reporters asked them more questions but Ethan and Magnus ignored them and began walking towards the limo as they were discussing something.

A Few hours have passed and the time was seven twenty three p.m. Desmond was sitting on the couch looking at the news as he was holding his head in frustration. He needed to clear his name or else things will get even worse.

Desmond didn't want to sit anymore longer, He immediately got up and went to his room as he changed into his Spider Man suit and left the house.

Desmond was looking for Lucas and he needed to stop him or else he will create even more trouble.

Meanwhile Lucas was walking through the alleyway until Desmond shot two web lines at him and threw him to the rooftop as Venom immediately got up and looked at Desmond.

Desmond: Lucas, I get why your doing this to me but don't you get how many other people you'll hurt?

Lucas/Venom: Oh we know exactly how many people your secrets will hurt.

Desmond tried to attack Lucas but he blocked the attack as he threw him to the air conditioning unit as Desmond was in pain.

Lucas: Didn't I say, I'll make sure to make your life a living hell.

Venom tried to attack him but he dodged the attack as he created a scythe and tried to slice him apart but he dodged the attack as Lucas grabbed Desmond and threw him on the ground.

Lucas: Poor Gionna, I do feel bad for-

Desmond shot a cob web at Lucas's face as he growled at him and ripped it off until...

Desmond continued punching him in the face until Lucas grabbed him and pushed him off the rooftop as they were fighting mid air until....

Suddenly multiple reporters showed up during the scene as they noticed Venom was punching Spider Man as they were shocked.

Reporter: Another Spider Man?

Lucas: Nope, I'm Venom and I'm here to unmask the truth about Spider Man.

Venom grabbed Desmond by the throat as Lucas had a sadistic smile and was gonna remove Desmond's mask as he said something to the reporters.

Lucas: Now for the moment of truth.

Desmond: Sure, Let's get a close up!

Lucas tried to attack Desmond but he immediately dodged the attack and jumped on the wall until Lucas taunted him.

Lucas: That proves it, If he really isn't Desmond. Would he resist this much?

Reporter: He has a point.

Reporter: Yeah, Prove us that your not Desmond.

Desmond: Really? Just because I'm not Desmond doesn't mean I'll reveal who I am, It's called a secret identity.

Lucas threw a mace at Desmond but he dodged it as the spider attacked Lucas and took him down.

Desmond: Besides Smiley here is a half alien symbiote. You can't trust those things.

Lucas immediately broke free as he kicked Desmond in the gut as he grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up until....

Lucas/Venom: Oops Too Hard but don't worry we'll be right back with the unmasking!

He shot a web line and made it to the rooftop until he noticed Desmond was gone as Venom let out a growl and began to taunt him.

Lucas/Venom: Run away but remember you will have nowhere to run or hide.
