Author's Note: This is my first Batman Beyond fic. Please be kind.





1 Along Came A Spider



" Well, ladies and gentlemen. I never thought I would see the day. Not only has Batman returned, but now we've got Spiderman." The news castor began as pictures of someone dressed up as Spiderman beating up a robber appeared on the screen.

" Looks like Batman will have some competition. Goodnight everyone." The show ended and Terry McGinnis shut off the T.V.

" Spiderman?" He said out loud. " Probably just some person running around in a costume." He grabbed his coat, told his mom he was going out and headed out the door.

Terry walked towards a dance club. The screeching of wheels caught his attention. Several Jokers on cycles had driven up behind him. The one in front had a big green wig on and had painted his face white. He appeared to be the leader.

" Please. I'm not in the mood." He muttered. Suddenly, a red and blue flash landed on the leader Joker. The rest of the gang stood there, stunned. Terry also stood stunned as one by one, the Jokers were ambushed or jumped on by the red and blue flash. Finally all the jokers lay sprawled out on the pavement. Terry realized it was Spiderman who had beat up the Jokers. Spiderman walked over to Terry.

" You okay?" He had a girl's voice.

" Spiderman is a girl?" Terry said. Spiderman/women laughed.

" Yeah. The real Spidey is really old. Just call me SpiderWoman. See ya." She sprayed what appeared to be a long cord of webbing at a building and took off into the air.

" I really do have competition." Terry said as he started to walk home.

Lunchtime. It was a very good time. Terry could stop thinking about school for a few precious moments while he devoured his food. A tray crashed down on his table. Terry looked up and saw a girl with long brown hair, and bright blue eyes.

" Mind if I sit here?" She asked.

" Sure." Terry replied. The girl sat down and tried to cut a piece of meatloaf. To Terry's knowledge, nobody had ever cut the meatloaf made by the lunch lady.

" I'm Arrow Parker." Arrow said suddenly.

" Uh, I'm Terry McGinnis." Terry replied. Arrow stuck her fork into the meatloaf. She then started eating a sandwhich.

" What's your next class?" She asked.

" Computer Ed." Arrow smiled.

" Me too. I guess I'll see you around." She finished up her sandwhich and tossed the rest of her lunch into the garbage.

Pictures of Spiderman were on Bruce Wayne's computer in the Bat Cave.

" I saw Spiderman. She's a girl." Terry said as Wayne looked over the pictures. " Why are you so interested in her?" Terry asked.

" I'm curious. Why would SpiderWoman suddeny appear in Gotham?" terry shrugged.

" Maybe her parents made her move." Terry said as he looked over the Spider pictures.

" I saw her make some sort of webbing cord. How would she do that?" Wayne had the picture magnify of SpiderWoman's hands.

" She has canisters attached to her arms. It must come from there." He then magnified SpiderWoman's feet.

" Suction cups. So she can walk on walls. Like the original." Wayne said.

" Looks like we're dealing with someone who really is Spiderman er Woman." Terry said.

" Yeah."
