When Flash got off the phone Firestar finally spoke, "Ooookay so I don't want point out the Elephant in the room buutt, HOW THE HELL DID YOU CRAWL ON THE CEILING!?", Flash put his finger above his lips gesturing to Firestar to be quiet but she wasn't having any of it, "N-No Don't tell me to be quiet I deserve some answers!", Firestar said in a sassy tone

Flash let out a sigh in annoyance and sat on his bed, "Okay so this gonna sound super weird but", Flash stopped himself for a quick minute when it caught up to him that he's been caught red handed, literally, Flash let out an even deeper sigh and put his words bluntly, "I'm Spider-Man"

Firestar's mouth hung open in shock though her shoulders became a bit relaxed hearing that, but then she put two and two together realizing know that Spider-Man's mysterious sightings in Japan around the same time her cousin visits Tokyo were no coincidence

"Wow now I feel stupid for not realizing it sooner", Firestar chuckled a little, "But", A huge smile made her way on her face, Oh no, I know where this is going

"How did yo--", Flash took Firestar and dragged her out of his 'room',

"Look I'm really, really tired, I'll answer them tomorrow, but DON'T TELL ANYONE!, Firestar nodded slowly before walking back to her room but she had one more thing to say

"Oh yeah, turn the door knob to the left to lock it!", Flash face palmed letting out a sigh due to a small mistake coming with a huge crucial consequence, "What've I gotten myself into", Flash collapsed in his bed and fell asleep

Flash got up less than enthusiastic knowing his Secret is with someone who he thinks is a immature kid at some points, "Well let's hope she actually kept her word!"

Flash put on some fresh clothes putting his Spider-Man Costume in his bag, "I'm gonna be seeing you again at some point", Flash got out of his room and walked downstairs and then into the Kitchen, "Good Morning!", Flash said trying to be enthusiastic

As soon as Flash said that his cousin gave all her attention to Flash still being interested in his Alter-Ego but she chose not to speak

"Good Morning Flash!", Aunt Thunderstar, she held out a plate, "Pancakes?, I decided to do something a bit easy!", Flash nodded and took his plate and sat down and almost immediately he saw Firestar look at him stroking her chin and nodding her head slowly as she ate a pancake

"What", Flash said shrugging pretending to be confused, "I haven't done anything"

Firestar went back to eating almost immediately, "Nothing!", Flash looked at Firestar suspiciously despite the fact that she knows he's Spider-Man

"Cousin Flash", Flash felt his arm tugged and looked down at her cousin, "Can we play?", Flash smiled a little

"Look I'll do it but I'm not being called Princess Sentry!, Or dress as a princess!"

*****

"Would you like some tea, Queen Sentry!", Snowstorm said pretending to pour tea in Flash's tea cup, Okay I really need to be more specific with what I say, but at I'm not wearing any makeup, that would be a weird look for me, I mean who would like tha--wait?

"Oh Snowstorm I'm Stuffed", Flash said pretending to look tired, "I think I'm gonna go to bed", Snowstorm looked a bit disappointed but let Flash go

Flash took off all that ridiculous stuff and went to his room to see Firestar waiting crossing her arms and tapping her foot, "Okay Flash, Spill it, I want to know everything about Spider-Man!"

Flash sighed in annoyance, "UGH!, Fine!", Flash sat on his bed and massaged the bridges of his nose with his right index finger and thumb, "Okay, Shoo--"

"How'd you get you powers!", Firestar cut off Flash before he could finish, Wow Rude

"A Genetically modified Super Spider, but I'm pretty sure that project ended a few months ago", Flash said stroking his chin

"Okay, What Powers do you have?", Firestar got out a notepad and started writing a list

"Um Okay, let's see, I can climb walls with my hands and feet, I can shoot webbing out of my wrists, I have a Warning Signal I like to call Spider-Sense which allows me to view my surroundings for any approaching danger, it won't keep me alive but I have an enhanced healing factor which only allows me to heal from wounds, sicknesses and injuries faster but I can't cheat death, and to add on to that, enhanced Speed, Strength and Agility!"

Firestar's eyes widened after hearing that entire list but curiosity struck her, "Hey can I see you shoot a web?", Flash looked at her as if she were stupid however

"No! If Aunt Spark and Thunderstar see it my cover is basically blown!, also where am I gonna shoot it at huh?", Firestar got out a soda can she kept in her pockets, Flash was about to ask but didn't even question it and just sighed, "Okay Fine!"

Flash looked at the can and closed one eye to show his cockiness while Firestar couldn't contain her excitement as she's about to see something unreal in person

Flash put a bit of pressure on his palm by pressing his middle and ring finger on it slightly and in an instant a strand of web shot out of Flash's wrists creating Web line that wrapped around the Can, "Ya Happy?"

Firestar's eyes were sparkling in amazement but she realized one thing, "Wait how long can this web last for?", Flash shrugged

"At first I thought it was an hour but that was put to rest when I shot some webbing and studied it when I first got my powers, I still have it so I'm confident it might last for a while!", Flash tugged on his web making the Can fly in the air for a couple of seconds before he caught it, "Oh yeah also, Pepsi is way better than Coke!"

Firestar rolled her eyes but one question crossed her mind, "So why being a hero?", Flash's eyes widened a little, "I mean not to judge the way you live your life but wouldn't you rather do something even cooler than being a vigilante?"

Flash sat down and thought about it, I can't tell her that, If I revealed to her that My Dad's death is partly my fault because of my own mistake I'll break up the family, I'm gonna regret this but I'm gonna have to bend the truth a little, Flash let out a deep sigh and stroked his chin, "Well... I guess it's because my Dad used to tell me something almost everyday but I couldn't figure out what it meant"

Firestar looked even more intrigued, "He used to tell me with Great Power comes great Responsibility, so when I got my powers it was around the same month he got killed, I mean I was torn up inside when he died, so I guess the real reason I do what I do is because I don't want people dying in the same way my Father did, because I have that power and I can use it responsibly!"

Flash looked up to see Firestar looking a bit shocked, Oh No what'd I do?, Flash got a bit worried for a second

"Flash I-I'm so sorry that was not a cool thing to ask I-", She abruptly stopped to see Flash smirk a little

"Why?", He shrugged, "Yeah I get it's kinda depressing when you think about it but you were just asking a question that you didn't know the answer to, there's no harm in that, and you know what, it's kinda nice to talk about this stuff with other people, you know with the whole identity thing."

Firestar nervously smiled a little, she thought as fast as she could and asked to see The Spider-Man costume to change the subject, "So...Can I see the costume?"

Flash shrugged, he got off his bed and checked the door to make sure it was locked the right way, he then went over to his bag and pulled out the mask, the body suit, the green jacket and cargo shorts, "Here", he threw the costume over at her, "Oh yeah, I used to war a black jacket and red hood over it but they exploded a few weeks a go"

Firestar looked inside the mask and was impressed by how comfy it felt but she had one problem, "How do you see out of these?, I mean not to say it's not possible but still doesn't the white tint make it hard to see out of?"

Flash chuckled, "Well I'm lucky to have my Spider-Sense or I would be long gone, also, it's because I don't want people or possibly my enemies seeing my face, well I guess my eyebrows but still the white lenses were the only things I had?, and it took a while to make that mask so cut me some slack will ya?"

"Alright come with me", she let out a sigh, "Just take your mask and leave the suit", she threw the suit back at Flash and he stuffed all the his things back in his duffle bag and followed Firestar to her room

"Alright this is my room", Flash and Firestar made their way to her room and when they opened it Flash saw a room with a dark magenta coating of paint on the walls, some thrasher posters on the wall an open closet overflowing with hoodies, shirts, jackets legit there could possibly be a suitcase in there, and last but not least he saw a desk full of tech junk and a laptop

"Okay, so Uh we here to do some spring cleaning?", Flash said with a mocking smile

Firestar rolled her eyes, "Ha, Ha very funny!, No I'm gonna do something with your mask", Flash had a confused look but handed the mask to her, "Okay let's begin!"

She reached in her desk and grabbed some scissors, very thin bladed scissors almost as if it were a scalpel with a handle, she then started to poke a hole around the black fabric outline of Spider-Man's eyes and was slowly slicing off the eye piece

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow...wow!", Firestar immediately stopped abruptly after she heard Flash's outburst, "You're cutting of the lenses?! Why?", he said a bit confused and a tiny bit angrily

"Trust me, I'm doing you a favor", Firestar said pointing at him before going back to slicing off the lens pieces, "So Juts let it happen!", Flash looked very skeptical and crossed his arms but ultimately just let it happen to see where it would be going

*****

"DONE!", Flash woke up abruptly after falling asleep for about 25 minutes, Wha?, WHERE AM I, WHO'S THIS, WHY CAN'T I-- Oh yeah, never mind, Flash got off the floor and walked up towards his cousin

"What'd you do?", Flash asked

"Here!", Firestar threw the mask at Flash, "You're new and improved Mask", Flash took the mask out of Firestar's hand and took a look at it

It took him a few seconds but he soon realized his Lenses and the black lens outline were different compared to before, the Black lens outline was not fabric anymore but it was metallic and his lens material was different, it was now one way glass instead of his lenses being tinted like he made them

"Well", Firestar said gesturing her hand, "Put it on"

Flash took a deep breath, shrugged and put the mask over his head, "Wow!", Flash was in amazement, he was able to see through the lenses crystal clear, "Firestar this is incredible! I gotta admit you were right, this is a huge favor, thanks!"

Firestar smiled feeling appreciated but she was still curious of one thing, "Flash listen!", Flash turned his gaze towards Firestar, "Flash I need you to Squint for a minute!", Flash had no idea why she said that but he just did it to see what would happen

"Wow!", When Flash squinted his eyes the lenses on his mask also moved, squinting as well, meanwhile inside the mask Flash's field of view zoomed in almost as if he were controlling a camera

"Okay Flash stop squinting", Flash stopped squinting and his field of view was back to normal, "Okay one more thing", Firestar added, "Try Widening your eyes a bit, it's might make things look a little different but just do it", she chuckled a little

Flash who was still trying to comprehend on what had just happened to his mask did as he was told, his vision was a bit more wider and a bit panoramic, the lenses on the mask widened and it made Firestar laugh because of how funny it made Spider-Man looked, it made him look surprised or scared

"Hahahah!", Firestar laughed a little, "Oh Man I have to save that!", Firestar got out her phone and before Flash could react she took a picture of a 'wide eyed' Spider-Man

"HEY! Hey, do not show anyone that, at all costs!", Flash said with a stern voice, "But anyways how did you do all of this?"

Firestar put up her hand and raised one when she named what she did to his mask, "Replaced the Still lenses with a more robotically resistant possibly better than pexiglass, put sensors in said lenses to sense your eye expressions and put tiny cameras in the lenses to help you see clearer, oh and a fun feature, they lenses will even move when you make facial expressions and the camera sensors wont react!"

Flash took of the mask and looked at the lenses and made out some tiny dots on each lens, "Impressive", he said nodding his head a little, "Wait? Since when've you liked tech and stuff, last time we met you loved skateboarding and rap music, and for some reason had a thing for Dra-"

"NOT A THING!", Firestar stopped him there, "I just really admired his looks and music, plus I've always liked techy stuff, it seems really interesting to me!", Flash looked at Firestar with a smug look but let it go due to her being pretty defensive over drake

"KIDS!", Flash and Firestar heard Aunt Spark's voice in the distance, "C'MON WERE ALL GOING TO GO SEE A MOVIE!", Flash ran back to his room to put the mask away and grabbed a jacket

Serpent returned to Mr. X's office after his fit of rage over losing his money as well as Mr.X's Money, "Ahhh, Serpent, my best mercenary!", he said with a calm voice, "Or so I thought", his voice became stern and deeper almost threatening

"Boss I apologize", Serpent bowed, "I failed to get your paycheck"

Mr. X's silhouette shook his head and kissed his teeth' Tch, thc, thc, this isn't good, not good at all, maybe your sister would like to have a chat about it, Mr. X soon toggled his computer to show surveillance of his sister walking in the streets with her family

Serpent's eyes widened, "N-No Please! Anything but that! ANYTHING!", This was one of those rare occasions where Serpent was scared, even though he was basically a messed up person he still deeply cared about his sister who cut ties with him so many moons ago, "I'll make it up to you I promise!"

Serpent kneeled down and bowed his head, "Alright, there's an auto shop down at the docks, there are exotic cars each of them more than enough to pay the bills, take care of it and be sneaky, not like last time my young mercenary, got it!"

Serpent shook his head, "It will be done boss, mark my words, Serpent took the elevator instead of jumping straight out of the window like he always did, "Alright let's do this!"

When Serpent reached the main floor he got on a new bike and headed for the docks...

*****

It took Serpent an hour overall but he did reach the docks and got out his phone looking over the text message Mr. X sent him

There should be a discolored building around here with a logo with a fish in a car
Take care of it and leave no witnesses, find a way to trap them and remember if you
fuck this one up, you're sister and I will have a chat

Serpent felt a rush in his body, he was more determined than ever, not just because of how he failed his last mission, something which he hadn't done since he was merely a student of Mr. X but also because hos sister was the last remaining family member he knew was alive despite the fact their relationship dwindled and ended up putting a wedge between both of them

Serpent walked around and found the building, he saw a shattered window, indicating a good way to get inside, "Bingo!", Serpent put on his wrist Grappling hooks and shot one above the window onto a pipe grappling his way onto the building

When he made it onto the wall and over the window he took his phone and took a picture to see what the inside was like, "Hmm, Okay, lunch with Mr. X tells me I'm gonna have to hide on that upper deck and find a lever or something to close that huge door".

Serpent made his way inside undetected he hid behind some crates and listened to some very vulgar conversation

"はい！ 彼女は15歳で、どういうわけか彼女は私を吹き飛ばすことに同意した、私は今夜は幸運な男だ (Okay! so she's like 15 and she agreed to blow me, I am lucky tonight!)"

"おい！ それはとてもひどい病気ですが、少し暗いですが、誰も気にしない (Dude! that is so fucking sick, but a bit dark but who cares I say better than nothing!)"

"Eww", Serpent muttered to himself, "But let's stay on the task at hand".

Serpent snuck around successfully staying hidden and he saw an office inside and in the office a man sat on a chair counting some paper bills what really caught Serpent's eyes however was a vertical lever and over it read out a sign saying

閉じる (Close)

"Bingo!", Serpent Muttered to himself, he knew the door was locked but luckily he brought a few lock picks along with him, all's he needed to do was make sure that no one saw him

Serpent snuck up to the door undetected and got out his lock pick playing with the lock, after adjusting his pick a few times moving it up and down he eventually unlocked it

"ねえ、あなたは-(Hey! What are yo--", Before the man sitting in his chair could finish his sentence Serpent threw a kunai at his throat and threw another one at his stomach impaling him

"Shhh", Serpent mockingly put his index finger over his lips and then made his way to the lever controlling the huge garage door, he pulled it down and all the workers, well I guess some pedophiles considering the vulgar conversations that go on in the area were a bit confused

There was a chain of conversations were roaming through the garage and that's when Serpent striked

"AHHH!", One of the workers was pulled into the shadows by Serpent, Serpent snapped his neck silencing him and to be safe put a Razorblade deep in his chest

At that point everyone was panicking but it was no use as Serpent took all of them down one by one making sure no one called the police and deleting any footage of him sneaking in, killing all the workers and committing theft by stealing an exotic car and going down to import-export areas of the docks where a close friend of Mr. X's work

…...

Author's Note

So I was playing around with the idea of having Flash mess up and his identity being revealed to someone, This is something I wanted to do all the way back in the first issue, aside from Doctor Whooves, I wanted Sunset to find out Flash was Spider-Man, but I decided not to for some reason

Than in the multiverse side story I made it into a reality and had Spike find out Flash was Spider-Man, but since I did the whole, reset their memories narrative Spike in this head canon has forgotten about his encounter with Doctor Whooves and in doing so Flash's Alter Ego

So when I wrote this story, the idea came back again to have someone know Spider-Man's identity, at first I wanted it to be Snowstorm to find out but then I decided to have someone who Flash can rely on for some moral support and I decided to have Firestar find out and in doing so add more to her character
