I'm Not Spider-Man (MCU x Spider-Man Reader)

A Shocking Comeback (Taking Up The Mantle)

It's been half a month since you had officially named yourself Spider-Man. Since then, you had passed your search for Flint Marko and became the full-time hero Peter was. You were saving the people of New York from every day crimes such as muggings, you were helping out like getting a cat down from a tree and giving people directions and even stopping some quick thief jobs like grand theft purse.

However, since that night at the bridge, George had put out a warrant for your arrest. Many have disagreed with this action and went against it, especially J. Jonah Jameson who had praised you for your heroics, even if you did let some of the criminals get away. He understood since you had to save a young boy, which he was thankful for since that was the son of one of his best reporters.

As of now, you were resting on the ledge of a rooftop. You taking a short break from weekend patrol after dealing with cops you had managed to get away from. You even got a hot chocolate from a coffee shop that liked you. You saved their manager/owner, so he gave you free access to the food and drinks of his shop.

Anyway, why didn't the police like you? You were trying to help them. Sure, you weren't a cop, but no one treated Peter this way when he was Spider-Man. Why you? Was it because you were more aggressive? Maybe you didn't tell enough jokes. You weren't always good with them. Peter was always better at quips.

"Hey, uh, Spider-Man?"

You look down from the ledge you were on to see Gwen looking up at you. She had a camera in her hand which had a strap around her neck. You look around before leaping off, flipping through the air before landing on a lamp post. You hang upside-down from it with a web.

Y/n: "Uh, hey, miss. What's up?"

Gwen: "My name is Gwen, and I'm a reporter for the Daily Bugle."

Y/n: "Oh, really?"

Gwen: "Yeah, and I'm trying to get a raise. Jameson said whoever got the best pics of you got it, and uh..."

As she spoke, you took a drink from your hot chocolate upside-down. This made Gwen look at you in awe.

Gwen: "How are you...?"

Y/n: "Practice. Now, from what I'm hearing, you just want some pics of me, right?"

Gwen: "Uh, right! Yeah. Can I?"

She holds up her camera with a hopeful smile on her face. You smile and nod.

Y/n: "Sure thing. Give me a sec."

You then down the rest of your hot beverage and then throw it into a nearby garbage can. You then pull your mask back down over your mouth before grabbing onto the lamp post and spinning around it. You cling onto it and look at the photographer.

Y/n: "Alright. I'm ready."

Gwen smiles at this and begins to take pictures of you. You do multiple poses and even begin to talk with her. It was only ten minutes, but the photographer got tons of great photos of you. However, you had noticed that she looked down, so you decided to ask her.

Y/n: "Hey, Miss Stacy. You okay?"

Gwen: "Just call me Gwen."

Y/n: "Right. Gwen. Is something wrong?"

Gwen: "It's nothing, just..." *lowers camera* "It's my friend, Y/n Parker. I'm worrying about him."

Y/n: "How so?"

Gwen: "He's been disappearing a lot. I'm pretty sure he's lying about something and keeping it a secret, and it's worrying me."

Y/n: "Oh?"
