Kevin had to toss his previous hero suit away in a dumpster a few days ago after it got covered in blood. Now he sits in class doting off trying to figure out a new costume to wear so he can go back to being a hero again. Luckily it’s going to be Halloween soon so he can grab a costume to wear but he also promised his friend Michael that they would match for Halloween. This is gonna be the last Halloween he’ll have in grade school before moving up to 5th grade and having to worry about what High School he will go to.

The bell rings for lunch time which is gonna be the perfect time to talk about costume ideas with Michael. The lunch was the mystery meat beef that all the other kids hated but it never bothered Kevin so the kids who refused to eat it just gave it all to him. It surprises the kids how Kevin is a vacuum but never seems to gain weight at all. When everyone was done giving their lunch to Kevin, it was now time for him and Michael to talk Costume ideas.

“Listen Michael, This is our last year before we enter middle school.” Kevin says as he begins eating the beef. Michael is more of a cartoon enjoyer and doesn’t read comics but if there is one thing that can connect these it’s

“Spiderman, Spiderman is the costume we’ll go with, but we won’t be like other kids who dress as him.” Michael leans closer with a big grin as if the next thing he’ll say will blow Kevin's mind. “We’ll have actual web shooters!”

Kevin was in a deep shock so deep that he didn’t even correct Michael about Hyphen in Spider-Man. He didn’t think it would be possible to swing around the city before. He began thinking about how cool it would be to web up bad guys, crawl on walls, and be the real life Spider-Man.

“YOU FOR REAL!” Kevin shouts in excitement as Michael nods.

“I saw it on Tv. It was so cool and only 40$ it says” That was basically a steal Kevin thinks.

Kevin is so excited he began shaking the cafeteria table to the annoyance of the other kids sitting. To the corner of Kevin's eyes he sees his arch nemesis, Eduardo and his goons, Jack and his little brother. They share the same lunch as them. Kevin never liked these kids as they acted like Flash Thompson if he never grew as a character. Just a bunch of assholes that pick on people. Kevin looks away from them and focuses back on the costumes but then Eduardo had to open his mouth.

“What are those clothes you’re wearing? You really are still watching baby shows.” Eduardo says to Michael poking fun at his Tom & Jerry shirt. This annoyed Kevin but Michael doesn’t take it lying down.

“You can’t be making fun of anything with those off brand shoes. Looks like you dug them out the trash with how it looks as if it’s breaking down already.” This isn’t much of an insult in fact Kevin thinks it was a pretty lame one but it doesn’t take much to get under Eduardo's skin and he walks away angrily to his table.

As Kevin finishes eating all the beef the bell rings meaning it’s now time for recess. Recess is what Kevin looks forward to every day as he keeps his throne as the greatest tag player of all time. As he they all huddle up to the door in the cafeteria that leads them to the school's parking lot, Kevin groups up with all his friends to start the game of Tag.

“Since Kevin won last game he gets to pick who’s It again.” Kevin's short friend Mark said.

“Well I guess I’ll pick myself.” Kevin Walks towards the wall and begins counting to ten as everyone begins to spread apart. Kevin gives them an extra 10 seconds before going out to tag them. He begins the game running towards the slide first so he can get a good view to spot anyone. As he stands on top of the slide he sees Michael but he also sees Eduardo and his goons walk towards him starting a fight. He watches as Eduardo and Jack toss Michael to the ground and Eduardo's little brother attempts to kick Michael in the nuts.

Kevin’s heart begins to race seeing his friend in danger and quickly goes down the slide running at Eduardo and tackling him. Kevin rolls on asphalt ground feeling the skin on his forearm get rubbed off but he quickly gets up without a scratch while Eduardo can’t say the same. As he ended up getting an abrasion on his forearm and knee. Some of his skin was hanging on by a thread with his skin's inner layer showing and slight blood leaking. At that moment when Kevin was just watching since this is the first ever fight he has been in now and he was worried for Michael.

Michael was able to get back up and throw Eduardo’s little brother to the ground. Kevin wasn’t paying any attention to his surroundings and got caught off guard by Jack who punched him in the face right before the teachers and security guard intervened. After the teacher came and grabbed them escorting them inside Kevin was getting filled with rage not thinking it should just end like this. He looks towards Jack who was being escorted inside and wants to get revenge for the punch..

“You fucking ASSHOLE!” Kevin yells as he runs towards Jack only to be stopped by the security guard who grabs him. Yet Kevin continues to try and push through and since the security guard kept a loose hold on him he was able to forcefully push himself through losing balance and falling down. On the ground he gets up and again runs towards Jack who the teacher now has behind him blocking Kevin from reaching Jack and then the security guard picks him up.

Kevin continues to try and fight it but is brought inside to sit in the principal's office as they call his dad to pick him up for his aggressive outburst. Kevin sit’s there in his own anger towards Eduardo and his goons. Kevin just sits there angrily as he waits for his dad to pick him up. When his dad arrived the principal tells him that Kevin been suspended for 2 days. As they get to the car Kevin expected his dad to be angry at him.

“Kevin why were you so angry.” he asked calmly so Kevin wouldn’t be scared to respond. Kevin stays silent looking down before mumbling.

“They attacked my friend”

“And then you fought them to defend him.” Kevin nods in response. “That’s good. Always defend your friends. I’ll never be angry about that.” Kevin’s dad turns to him and Kevin goes and keeps eye contact.

“The only problem was that you wanted to continue the fight. When Spider-Man villains are arrested he doesn’t try to beat them up while they’re in cuffs.” Kevin nods again, pleasing his dad who turns back to the road. “For defending your friend, how about I get you a gift.”

“Well… There’s this web shooter that my friend told me about.” Kevin says as he smiles as now he can get his Spider-Man costume. Plus he gets 2 days off of school which means more time to be a hero.
