Hello everyone! This is my first multi chapter story, and I'm still new to this so please be patience with me. Updates will be slow, so bear with me. This is a Ultimate Spider man Scarlet SpiderxOc story inspired by Cecebeec's "Scarlet Love" Story (it's great, you guys should read it). This is rated 'T' for now, it might change later. I own nothing except for my OC(s). Enjoy!

Kindness of the Heart: A Scarlet Spider Love Story

Chapter One: Nearly run down and the meeting

June 20th 2016

Cold. Freezing cold, that's all Ben felt as he walked through the empty streets of New York. The rain was pouring down from the sky and it stung Ben's skin, right through his suit, that had been already drenched from being in the Hudson Bay.

It was the night after Ben Reilly had crashed HYDRA Island into the bay after he had betrayed Spider-Man and S.H.E.I.L.D. He's not proud of what he did, in fact he hates what he did and he hates himself for it. If he could, he would go back in time and change it all, but he can't and he hates that even more.

He was standing on the shore looking out into the bay where the Triskelion was, debating if he should go back there. He decided against it, he can't go back not after everything he's done; he can't face them again, he's too ashamed to. Everyone thought he was dead and that's how he wants it to stay. He then walked off, not even sure where to go. He was aimlessly wandering the streets, trying to find a place to get dry.

A lone red 2011 Chevy Cruze was driving down the surprisingly empty street as the rain continued to come down.

The driver of the car was a girl around eighteen years old with long light brown curly hair, tan skin and emerald green eyes.

She was wearing a black trench coat with a red tight fitting tank top, pale blue jeans and black and white converse sneakers.

She was driving home late from her workplace as a Veterinary Assistant at the local Animal Clinic in midtown.

She had just graduated high school for the summer and is living on her own for the first time in her life. Her job allows her to pay rent for her Penthouse apartment, pay the bills and groceries. She's happy the way she lives, being independent and living her own life, not like she was before.

She wasn't rich, she just inherited her grandfather's fortune, which was close to $150,000. She used some of the money to rent her Penthouse apartment and saved the rest while she uses the money she gets from her job to pay the rent.

The girl just sighed as she watched as her window wipers went back and forth. She hated the rain, it made her feel depressed and miserable, that's why she couldn't wait to get home.

She then heard her phone buzzing, signaling that she had an incoming text. She reached inside her purse that was in the back seat and grabbed her phone out of her purse.

She took her eyes off the road for a second to read what the text said. She rolled her eyes in annoyance at it was that texted her. She then shook her head as she placed her phone back in her purse and looked back onto the road.

Then suddenly, SCREETCH! She slammed on her breaks when, in the middle of the street was a guy in a red and black spider suit, drenched standing in front of her car.

"Oh, my god" she gasped as she threw off her seat belt and opened her car door and ran to him.

"Are you okay?" she asked as the rain stung her face, but she didn't care. She noticed that he was shivering.

"W-Who are you?" he shivered out, his teeth chatting lightly.

"It's okay; my name is Melania and I'm gonna help you" she said as she took off her trench coat and draped it over him, "you poor thing, you must be frozen half to death"

Scarlet tugged on the edges of the coat and brought it closer to him.

"Come on" she said as she wrapped one arm around his shoulder and held his arm as she helped him walk over to her car, "Just sit here while I turn the heat on" she said as she opened the passenger door and he sat in.

Melania closed the door as she ran back to the driver's side, sat down and slammed the door shut as she turned the heat on.

She waited a few minutes before asking, "Does that feel better?"

"A little bit" he said with a slight shiver.

"Okay, I'm get you back to my place where you can get warmed up and some hot food into you" Melania said as turned her car back on and drove back down the street.

"So…what's your name?" she asked, while she kept her eyes on the road, "I assume you have one" she looked over to him.

"… Scarlet Spider" he said not looking at her as he kept his head down.

"Scarlet Spider, huh? That's a cool name, what about your real name?" she asked as she looked back to road.

"Ben Reilly"

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Ben Reilly" Melania said with a small smile on her face as she kept her eyes on the road.

For the rest of the ride home, Ben was quiet and he kept his head down, not looking at Melania.

When Ben wasn't looking, Melania took a glance at him, "What happened to him?" Melania thought to herself as she drove them back to her home.
