Conner had snuck out off base to go hang out at the arcade. He was playing Galaga, his reflexes allowing him to react almost to fast for the game to register. He smiled as a crowd gathered watching him break the high score. He knew the guys at the base would come to take him back soon, so he wanted to have as much fun as he could before hand.

"That's some fancy finger work you got there, dude." Jested Peter as he approached Conner through the crowd. He'd been wanting to play Galaga for a while, and if that meant playing against this guy then so be it.

"Thanks." said Conner as he turned around for a split second, revealing his Super Patriot shirt. "I've held the highscore for a while now."

"Well so much for that record," joked Peter. "Nice shirt you have there by the way." He added noticing the shirt as he turned around. Adding a couple of coins in the slot, Pete took up the second player controls and started playing alongside Conner.

Conner nodded and focused on the game as Pete took up the Player 2 spot. As the game began to start up, Conner began to shoot the fleet of oncoming aliens. It was almost like he knew where they were going to shot before the actually did because of his reflexes. "Thanks. It's sort of special issued just for me."

"Didn't know parents would still do that at your age," figured Peter as he started firing away in the game. "Not that I'm bagging on your life or anything."

"Actually my parents aren't really around." he said, remembering the car accident. "It's actually a part of my job. Well, I guess you can call it a job."

"Well, I'm sure your job beats working for a rag like the Daily Bugle." Replied Pete as attempted to keep up with Conner. "But that doesn't really take much."

"Honestly a job like that sounds a lot less stressful than mine. I guess you could say there's a lot of manual labor in mine." said Conner. Outside a group of guys in a sedan pulled ski masks over their faces. They got out of the car and headed into the arcade brandishing guns. "Alright everyone just stay calm! Pull out your wallets and get down on the ground. No one be a hero and you'll all be okay." Conner sneaked away and slipped on his visors as well as unzipped his backpack.

Peter followed Conner as he snuck wondering where the other teen was heading as he ducked into a cubby hole of his own. Dropping his satchel he quickly began pulling off his clothes revealing his Spider-Boy costume underneath and stuffed all bar his jacket into the bag. He began digging into his satchel for his Web-Gin Holster and his Domino mask.

After Conner finished he sped out to where the group was holding the people at gun point. He hid behind a pillar and adjusted his visor before firing a small heat beam at one of the gunman's hands. The heat cause him to drop the gun and scream as the other robbers looked around to see where it came from. Next Conner sped past one of the thugs, knocking him out with a soft, for him anyway, punch to the jaw. He hid back behind another pillar, trying to keep the disoriented. "Hey! Whoever you are, come out now or I swear to God I'll blow one their brains out!" said the lead thug as he grabbed a girl and held his gun to her head.

With his mask on and Web-Shooter strapped to his leg, Pete dashed back towards the chaos pulling his jacket back on as he went. "And I thought was supposed to be the cheesy one," jested Pete as he drew the Web=Shooter and aim at the gunman.

The gunman turned his gun on Spider-Boy. "Hey man get back!" Conner watched wondering who the guy was. He had heard of a guy called Spider-Boy. He was apparently supposed to be the replacement for Super Soldier before Conner was. Conner continued to wait and see how Spider-Boy would handle it.

"Dude, if you were any more cliche I'd have to deport you back to the seventies or something." Joked Spider-Boy covering the face that he was packing himself. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a game to get back to." Going for the eaiser target, Pete blinded the gunman with a couple of shots with the web-gun. Lightening his own gravity, the Spider took a giant leap and tackled the gunman in an attempt to wrestle a gun from his control.

A Spider Boy wrestled with the gunman, another approached with a gun from behind. Before he could shoot, Conner reached in his backpack and pulled out his shield. He zoomed between the gunman and Spider-Boy. Though he could take the bullet, he didn't want to risk the bullet ricocheting and hitting someone. As the thug shot, he hit the bullet with his shield, angling it up into the ceiling before kicking the thug into one of the game cabinets, knocking him unconscious.

Turning at the gunshot, Spider-Boy was sucker punched accidentally by the gunman he'd tackled. Seeing that the Stranger had it under control, he upped his own gravity and knocked out the gunman he was tangling with before getting to his feet. "Thanks for the save, Stranger." Figured the Friendly Neighborhood Hero. "Welcome to the Big City," he added offering his hand for a shake.

(I think it's actually supposed to be New Gotham, but I may be wrong.)
"Thanks." said Conner as he shook his hand. "I'm Super Patriot."

(Changed to the 'Big City' until it's clarified.)
"He kicks ass and still has good manners, I am impressed," replied Pete grinning a little. "I'm the friendly neighborhood Spider-Boy," he introduced as the sound of police sirens blurred in the background. An annoyed look crossed his face. "And that's probably my cue to make like a tree and get the hell out of here. If you value not getting shot at more, I'd suggest doing the same."

"Actually the funny thing is they might be here for me." said Conner with a nervous grin. "I sort of snuck out of the base I live at. Still not a bad idea though." he said following Spider-Boy.

"Brilliant, even more reason for the press and cops to hate my ass." groaned Pete as he darted away back to pick up his satchel and head out the back exit. "No offense, dude."
