The Friendly Neighborhood Watch

Summary:

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
In case you missed it, here’s a video compilation of all the times @RealSpiderManNYC’s one-liners were caught on camera. What’s your favorite Spidey quote? #SpideyQuote https://youtu.be/kgKhpDa8CMw

Spider-Man (WITH A HYPHEN) ✔ @RealSpiderManNYC
oh my god SOMEONE finally appreciates my comedic genius

Notes:

Quick note before we start: Peter (@PeterBot3000) is not Spider-Man Peter! He's just a Peter. Goes by Pete sometimes.

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch is a website/blog run by Quinn (quinnathy), while Pete is a private investigator. They were both mentioned in the first fic in this series, but it's not necessary to read the first fic to read this one!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Spider-Man (WITH A HYPHEN) ✔ @RealSpiderManNYC

Steve Rogers ✔ @srogers18
“Attacking a literal child? Really? I’m not a psychology major but even I can tell that just means you’re insecure and desperate for some sort of way to feel strong. Go pick on someone your own size, a**hole.” I agree. Send them my way, @RealSpiderManNYC. #SpideyQuote

peter @PeterBot3000
it was very cool and rad to get saved by spider-man but i didn’t know how to tell him that i was, in fact, not a kid and that i’m actually 21 years old. he found out like weeks after and it’s a core memory for me

Spider-Man (WITH A HYPHEN) ✔ @RealSpiderManNYC
oh god don’t bring up The Incident

quinnathy @darkerintheday

Franklin Nelson, Atty. @FranklinNelson
SOLD. So the first time Spidey saw Pete at the office his first question was “Where are your parents?” And then before Pete could say anything Matt goes “I see you’ve met my son” and then I think Spidey jumped out of a window

peter @PeterBot3000
no that was me

Franklin Nelson, Atty. @FranklinNelson
Oh yeah

The Daily Bugle ✔ @TheDailyBugle
You’re an unreliable news source, run by one writer. We’re a professional team with years of experience and fact-checkers.

peter @PeterBot3000
oh you did not

quinnathy @darkerintheday
pete i think it’s time we broke out operation spideygate

peter @PeterBot3000
yesss operation spideygate is a go

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
QRT “You’re an unreliable news source…”
Nine years ago, pre-Blip, in 2015, there was a school bus that drove off the Brooklyn Bridge because the driver was driving while intoxicated. Spider-Man was the only person who got there before it tipped over.

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
He managed to save all the passengers, including one John Jameson, son of J. Jonah Jameson. Two days later, the Daily Bugle released an article framing Spider-Man as the perpetrator of the accident, riding on the publicity of Jameson’s involvement.

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
Spider-Man was new to the vigilante scene, and had no prior reputation aside from some YouTube videos. The Bugle defamed a defenseless hero who saved the lives of dozens, and they have continued to do so ever since—even though Spider-Man saved JJJ’s son.

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
Here’s the link to a news article about the bus accident, the police report, and the Bugle’s article. The driver was sentenced to twelve years in prison. 

The Friendly Neighborhood Watch @FNWatch
And last, but definitely not least: Get fucked.

Spider-Man is the epitome of the perfect being. He’s cool and amazing. My favorite #SpideyQuote is “The Daily Bugle? More like the Daily Bug, because it’s always bugging me.”
