[Kaine Parker]

Kaine had been here for some time now at the Space Station. Kaine called it his home with Otto, Harley, Cindi, and the Web Warriors. He felt the tension of wanting to be a leader, and at the same time, he was not sure he felt like he would be able to be up for the job. Kaine avoided it the best he could. He knew he was not Peter, even if he had his DNA. Kaine remembered that he did not believe in the motto, “Great Power comes Great Responsibility.” He did not even know if he was leadership worthy. Kaine had witnessed several fights and been the brunt of breaking them up. If anything, it had been exhausting. Kaine had gone on adventures to get away. Kaine liked being left alone, but he never forgot his home back in the space center.

That afternoon, Kaine had been taking inventory. Kaine made sure the ship was well stocked with supplies. Once everything was back in shape. Kaine went towards the cafeteria. The food was prepared daily, by machines. Kaine found the teenager feline lizard, Ahadi, sitting on the floor. Ahadi looked much bigger and had grown up. Ahadi was at his feet and was eating some of his fish for dinner. Ahadi had grown in size and was impressed by that. Kaine sat down and ate his lunch but for some odd reason. He was not that hungry, and he was distracted. His thoughts were all over the place.

Kaine knew one of these days, he would have to embrace the Web Warriors. But he frankly wished someone would step up and find another way to lead them, so he did not have to do it. Ultimately, Kaine did not want to watch them die under his hands. He could not take it. Kaine did not want that kind of suffering. He knew it was a risk that might be taken when he stepped in charge.

“It’s always coming down to this. I hate things like destiny,” Kaine said. Kaine slammed his fist on the table. A loud crack appeared as he broke the plate. Sometimes he could not handle his strength and anger as it broke. And it made him sigh. “Sorry, Ahadi. I think I am more confused now than I was in my dimension. Never wanted a leadership job, and not like I can say no to Otto, and he expects it.” Kaine said with a sigh. “I suppose I have a lot on my mind,” Kaine explained.

The spider had his Scarlet Spider suit on as he oftentimes, went around, wearing it when he was busy at work. On one of the calmer days, he often wore clothing that felt comfortable. Today seemed like a slow day, and everyone was doing their own thing. Even Kaine wasn’t sure what to do next. But it might as well be productive. Maybe Kaine would go ahead and train. While the training rooms were not occupied that afternoon, Kaine should take advantage of it. "Come on, Ahadi, let's go to the training room maybe we can focus our anger on that room instead," Kaine said as the feline lizard followed after him without question. First, he would have to pass the armory on the way there. The space station was a maze, but by now, he had figured out where most of the important places were.
