Disclaimer: I don't own spider-man blah blah blah
Wellt his is the first spider-man fic i've written so please review at the end and give me your input
Chapter 1: Past and Present
"For as long as I can remember, I've been told I was a freak. Something that was only meant to cause pain and suffering for others. For some reason I'm starting to think that they may have been right about me."
Gwen looked out of a window in her loft overlooking Times Square. She scoffed at the mass of people having fun at the Oscorp cultural festival. They could be nice and act like they don't have a care in the world one minute and want to kill you the next. Still that wouldn't stop her from going out for a walk. Gwen always liked her walks because she could think better and she'd feel at peace.
Gwen grabbed her black duster and hat and started down the long staircase that led to the street. Once she got out into daylight she was immediately blocked like some bimbo dressed like the Swiss-miss girl.
"Excuse me, but how would you feel about joining the Embracing Cultures group. We want to try and make the world a better place through understanding."
"No thanks."
Gwen pushed past the girl and continued walking. Why should she join something like that. As far as she was concerned different cultures were unified, when it came to harassing her. 'The park is only a few more blocks. Just avoid eye contact and you'll be fine.' Then she heard it, maniacal laughter this would not be good. 'Oh well probably just some moron who hit the Heineken to hard.'
She stopped in front of the stage where Macy Grey was performing. Now there was someone who didn't take shit from anyone. She did everything the way she wanted. To bad Gwen didn't have the same self- confidence. Suddenly the music stopped and everyone was looking up. 'There is that laughter again. This doesn't look good'. Then some costumed nutcase showed up on a glider, everyone thought that it was just part of the show, but Gwen knew better. When he came around the second time he started threw a bomb on the upper balcony.
Gwen didn't move as everyone around her started to run. The crowd started pointing up at the sky. Gwen knew it was Spider-man and she pulled her hat down farther to cover her face. Spider- Man, now there was a guy she just didn't get. He has strange powers and he decides to use them to save people. Gwen might have done that if humanity hadn't treated her like crap. The thing that really got to Gwen was that the people didn't call him a freak or throw stuff at him like people did to her, when she was in high school.
~*~*~*Flashback (Gwen's P.O.V.)~*~*~*
I grew up in Upstate New York where things were supposedly safer and more down to earth. I personally think that anyone who believes this is in a serious state of denial. The cities might not be as big as New York but they still have the same problems.
The prep school instead a normal high school. My parents said it would help me get into a better college. In reality it was so they would be able to brag to their country club buddies. They wanted to show off their daughter who went to Draconia (I know, the name is fucked up). According to them after I graduated I would be attending Colombia for pre-law because I was so good at arguing.
Looking back on it now I realize that they just wanted acceptance. My father James Hargrove is an A list attorney, Jenny my mother is the little wife who stayed at home and arranged parties for the wealthy clients. I was the black cloud that loomed over their perfect existence.
Anyway I'm psychically gifted and by the time I was 14 I could control my powers with ease, unless someone really pissed me off. Once some kids thought it would be funny if they took everything from my locker and out it on the roof . When I found out who had played the prank I "lashed out". My parents were furious.
"How could you let this happen Ashley?"
"I told you mom, it was an accident"
"Like hell it was! You told us you could control your….defect. Well it's apparent that you can't anymore. You will not leave your room from now on. Understood?!"
"This is bull. The first time I loose it and your going to lock me up like some criminal?!"
"You will watch your tongue!"
Dad didn't take crap from anyone especially people who were "beneath him"
~*~*~* End Flashback ~*~*~*
Gwen was jarred out of her flashback when the sign over the stage started to give way. It was going to fall right on top of the spectator area. Everyone had gotten out of the way except for one boy. He just stood there staring at the sign. If he didn't move he'd be crushed to death. Spidey wouldn't reach him in time so Gwen went out on a limb and grabbed the kid and pulled him out of the way.
"Billy! What were you thinking?"
'Must be the mother'
"Oh thank you so much for pulling him out of the way. Are you hurt?"
"It's okay ma'am I'm fine. Just get out of the way next time okay Billy".
'I can't believe I just said that. I sound like some cracked up super hero.'
Peter was relieved that that girl pulled the boy out of the way. He might not have been able to reach him in time. Now all he had to worry about was this guy in the green. Who the hell was, he and what was he doing here? The girl was starting to walk away, he might as well thank her for what she did.
"Hey!"
Gwen stopped, someone was calling out to…her. Turning around she saw that it was none other than the web slinger himself.
"I just wanted to thank you for saving that kid"
"Instead of thanking me, why don't you go deal with that green guy over there."
Peter turned and saw that he was walking towards the cops and…surrendering. This didn't look good. Something was definitely up. Then the green guy started attacking the cops. Peter ran towards him fists in the air. The guy stopped him mid-punch.
"Not bad"
Then Peter was flung backwards through refreshment tables before slamming into a light pole. It was going to hit that bystander in the head. Then everyone in the crowd was gasping and pointing. Peter and the Goblin looked towards the pointing and the pole had been stopped and was now floating inches above the guy. Turning he saw that girl who had saved the little boy. Her arm was stretched out and her right palm was aimed at the pole. Peter and the goblin thought at the same time.
'How is she doing that?'
The goblin walked towards Gwen.
"Impressive my dear"
Then the pole hit goblin in the head. Gwen smirked and stood above goblin.
"Glad you liked it asshole."
Gwen walked over to Spider-Man and pointed at the broken off balcony.
"There is a damsel up there in some serious distress."
Peter looked up and saw Mary Jane was about to fall to her death. When Peter turned back towards the girl she was gone. He ran off to save Mary Jane.
