"Are you okay, Keifer?" Gwen asked
Keifer nodded and helped her up from her chair. He thanked Parker for letting them use his dining table for their date. Parker laughed and replied wittily.
"It was used for my date as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Keifer smiled weakly. He guided Gwen outside, and drove her home. He led her to her doorstep and knelt down before her. He pulled a ring from his pocket and asked her to marry him. She jumped up and down and finally accepted.
The marriage was set a month afterwards. 10 months after the proposal, they had a baby.
"Let's name him..." Gwen thought for a moment, "Eldoris."
Keifer disagreed, but his wife had called naming the baby. He decided to shorten the name to Doris. Doris grew to be 6, and Keifer had a job at OsCorp again. He was confronted by Harry. Keifer gulped as Harry invited Keifer into his office. Keifer felt like he was in Elementary School again as Harry beat on him in the goblin suit.
The next night, instead of working on what he was supposed to be working on, he worked on a flexible adamantium suit. When he finally perfected it, the beatings didn't hurt anymore. Gabriel gave him beatings as well.
Pretty soon, the green goblin, American Son, and Silver Spiderman were all worst enemies. Keifer went home one day, said good bye to his wife and son, and left forever. He joined the Dark Avengers, and they nominated him as their leader, despite not knowing him very well. He led well, and eventually merged with the void. He destroyed Sentry, and set his mind on destroying Harry and Gabriel. He finally succeeded, but became severely ill. He got closer to the Void, and it sucked him in. Finally, he died.

Eldoris gazed at his father's grave, and then at his mother's. He watched as the coffin was lowered into the ground, never to be seen again. He felt a tear run down his cheek. He had never really known his father for very long, but he had known him at one point. He remembered his father as a very loving person. When he started working for OsCorp, he started coming home looking more and more tired. Finally, he came back home, packed up, and said good bye. Eldoris still heard the door close behind his father as he left. He had heard from Steve Rogers, that his father had gotten too close to the void and was destroyed.
Eldoris smiled at the thought of Steve. He had been acting as a father to him ever since his mother had died. Eldoris had just turned 16 a few days ago, and Steve threw him a huge party. He had gotten an autograph from nearly all of the Avengers Including Steve and Bucky. Bucky had become best buddies with Eldoris, seeing that they at least looked about the same age. Bucky had told him that he should have been older than Steve, but getting his bionic arm had somehow slowed his aging process. He was really about the same age as Steve. Eldoris had ignored the fact, and become good friends with Bucky.
Despite having so much fun, and having a good guardian, Eldoris didn't want to live without a living parent. He got into his car and left the funeral before it had ended. He made it to a tall skyscraper and went to the top floor. He strode over to the edge and closed his eyes. He let out a deep breath and jumped off the building. Luckily, no one had noticed it... until he slung a web. Eldoris held his arms up in the air as he fell. He felt the cool, Brooklyn breeze against his face. He felt as if he was close to the ground, so he said a quick prayer. That's when he suddenly jerked to a stop. He opened his eyes to see that he was swinging forward into another building. He looked up to see a thick, white line protruding from his wrist. He held on tightly until he felt he need to swing another one. Within minutes, he became an expert on Web Slinging. He swung through the city with ease. He finally decided to stop at Steve's house. He slung a new web as he headed home.
He landed at the doorstep smiling. Once he opened the door, Steve looked up from a magazine he was holding. He looked past Eldoris outside.
"Where's the car?" he asked, frowning
"Oh it's at one of those buildings," Eldoris replied
"Did you hitch a ride home?"
"No."
"Then how in the heck did you get home?"
Eldoris smiled mischievously.
"I swung," he responded
"You mean to say you swung on one of them bungee cord thingy's all the way from a skyscraper?"
"No."
"Then what the flip did ya do?"
"I slung webs."
"You mean like Spiderman?"
"No. Like my father."
"They swung webs differently?"
"No, my father just had stronger webbing. And Spiderman doesn't have organic webbing."
"Well it's about time."
"About time for what?"
Steve got up and led Eldoris to a wall.
"Okay. It's a wall," he said, confused
"Not just any wall," Steve replied
He kicked it hard, and it came out. Hanging up inside, was a silver suit looking almost like Spiderman's. Eldoris walked slowly into the closet and opened the glass case that was holding the suit.
"Was this in his will?" he whispered only loud enough for Steve to hear
"Yes son. He wanted S.H.I.E.L.D to give his whole set of suits to you. That one is just his original. The one he was wearing when he merged with the void was destroyed. We couldn't recover all the pieces."
Eldoris nodded.
"Eldoris--" started Steve
"I'm not Eldoris anymore," Eldoris cut him off, "I'm Doris now, in honor of my father."
Steve smiled.
"Doris then."
"Yes?"
"Try the flippin' thing on."
Doris laughed.
"Alright."
He ran into the bathroom to change.
