Carson had parked in the drive way and the group of friends got out followed by Carson. They let Carson pass to unlock the door. He opened it for them and they walked in.
"There's only one extra room for one of you two" he looked at Ben and Emma.
"I'll sleep on the couch,you take the bed" said Ben to Emma. Carson looked at his watch and then spoke
"I'll be gone for about an hour or two. I have to go file the report for what happened tonight." He left and closed the door then drove off. Grace patted Ben on the shoulder
"I'll get you guys something to eat." Ben looked at Grace and said
"Thanks Grace." Grace turned on the tv and the news popped up.
"Gun shots were fired an hour ago wounding Jessica Allen in her home. At the scene there was broken glass from the intruder,bullet shell casings,and a Spider-man mask left on the ground." Ben and Emma turned to face each other in shock. Emma said to Ben quietly
"The person must know that you're Spider-Man then...right?" Ben shook his head slowly
"You're the only one that knows." Grace turned to look at the t.v. and the spoke
"Why? Why would they do this?" Then she thought to herself
"No it couldn't of been E-Ethan?" Grace started to think to herself more. Ben turned off the news and looked at Emma
"You know what I have to do Em" he said quietly to her. Emma looked at Ben
"Don't let this consume you Ben,It's not what you want to hear but it's what you have to do." Grace called out to them and Ben and Emma went to the dining room table. They sat down and Grace gave them a plate of tacos.
"We had extra from last night so here you guys go." Emma excused herself to go to the bathroom to wipe off her make up. She patted Ben on the head and entered the bathroom.
"She's nice" said Grace
"Yeah,she's pretty...amazing" replied Ben. Grace sat to the right of Ben and they began to eat.
"Ben just know that I'm here for you,whenever you need anything don't be afraid to ask." Ben nodded and said
"Thank you Grace,I really appreciate what you and your father are doing for me." Grace smiled and gave him a hug and rested her head on his right shoulder. Ben let out a small smile and then thought to himself
"Does Grace have feelings for me? Do I still have feelings for her?" Ben questioned himself. Ben overwhelmed with all that happened had no idea what to think. Grace took her head off his shoulder and immediately started apologizing
"I'm so so so sorry Ben...I didn't mean to" Ben stopped her and said
"It's okay Grace...Today has been a confusing and emotional day for us all." Ben patted her back and gave her a smile.

Meanwhile Carson was just getting done with the police report when he got a phone call from none other than Harry Osborn.
"Mr.Perryman?"
"Who is this?"
"I am Harry Osborn,owner of Oscorp"
"What do you need Mr.Osborn?"
"I need you and some police men to escort a delivery in about thirty minutes,can you do that?"
"Sure. Where is this delivery starting?"
"The Oscorp shipping warehouse. You and the other squad cars will escort it over to the Oscorp building."
"My men and I will be there." Carson hung up and called a crew of four squad cars and himself to head to the warehouse.
"Five cars should be enough" said Carson to himself. He excited the station and got into his car and sent a text to Grace
"I'll be home a little late tonight hun, don't cause to much trouble." He turned the car on and began driving to the warehouse.

Back at the house Emma,Grace,and Ben had finished eating and went into Grace's room to watch movies on Netflix together. Ben wasn't feeling at all like himself,all full of rage,confusion,and sadness. He looked out the window and thought to himself
"Maybe I should just go for a swing." He looked at Emma and Grace as the chose a movie to watch and said
"I'll be back guys,I'm gonna go get some food for you guys." Emma looked at Ben and said
"But we just at-" then she saw Ben give her a wink and said
"Nevermind,that'll be pretty good." Grace shrugged and said
"Okay?" Ben walked out and closed the door to Grace's room. He walked down the stairs and looked at the blue bag. He reached into it and changed into Spider-man. He put his other clothes in the bag and put the bag in the bushes outside. He shot a web at a street light and shot another one at the light opposite it. He pulled back and slingshotted himself into forward into the sky.
