It took some serious doing while Mom and Dad were out this evening, but Ben manages to find Peter's old Nikon Camera in the attic from his days as a photographer at the Daily Bugle. It also takes a serious chunk of Ben's allowance to get some good film for the thing, but once he'd done so, he was ready. He threw some clothes in his backpack, made his bed, then left a note for Mom and Dad saying he going to visit May over at ESU and see the Comedy Improv Group doing a free show there with her.
Alibi established with the parents. He also sent a text to May saying he was staying the night at Jake's house, but they were going out to the Arcade at Coney Island.
Alibi established with Super-Hero Sister.
Time for action.
Ben catches the bus down toward the docks not far from ESU, having heard from a few reliable sources that the Poison Memories had some turf in the area. Tonight, Ben was going to end their reign of terror, and make them pay for what they'd done to Sidonie and countless other best friends, brothers, and sisters over the years.
An hour later, he's watching the docks, camera in hand, waiting for the shot that the cops can't ignore. He doesn't have spider-powers, but he
does have the courage to stand up to evil.
He takes a deep breath, peeking around a corner as a car pulls up on the docks.
