A/N: This is a fanfiction I've been planning for a while. I wanted to make my own roster of teenage superheroes based on the Marvel Universe, and with that came the idea of throwing them in a Road Trip through the U.S.A, mainly because I got the idea from the upcoming "All New X-Men" coming out later this year. The pairing I chose for this, was the Peter Parker/Kitty Pryde ship, or as I call it, Parkitty. Recently I've become a supporter of the ship, and I thought this was a good fic to throw them into, for reasons you will all see later on

This is an AU, I wanted to clear that up since you'll notice later on how the character ages for some heroes are largely different.

With that being said, to the Fanfiction.

New York City was bright. The skyscrapers, the dozens of street vendors, the taxis overcrowding the lanes...

And of course, the arachnid superhero who was the main topic in every newspaper.

Spider-Man swung to a bank that had been broken into and crawled right beside two burglars. "Oh, c'mon Joe, that's like… the… um... seventh time this week? Anyway…" he says.

"KILL THE SPIDER!" says a man with a simple black mask, leather jacket, and cargo pants.

"Well, at least you people finally learned that I'm no bug." Spider-Man quickly jumped from the ceiling and webbed the two burglars, pulling them together, knocking both of them out. Spider-Man chuckled. "Okay Joe, I guess you're next. Anything new?"

"Hell yeah!" Joe unleashed a shotgun from his bag. "TIME TO PUT A BULLET THROUGH THAT HEAD!"

Joe shot, but the force of it made him fly back and he was smacked in the face by his own gun. Spider-Man laughed uncontrollably, trying to hold back his tears. He couldn't even imprison Joe with any webbing before bursting into laughter again. "Never change, Joe, never cha—"

Spider-Man's phone rang. He read the caller I.D.

Kitty.

"Uh, I gotta go. Later, Joe!" He swung out of the bank and toward the buildings while answering the call. "Yello!"

Kitty Pryde answered in that bubbly way Peter was so used to. "Hey Pete! How's it going?"

"Amazing. I met up with Joe again."

"Really? That guy doesn't give up."

Peter remembered the look at Joe's fight right when he lost control of his gun, and Peter started to laugh again.

"I guess the fight went better than expected," Kitty replied, and from her voice, Peter could tell she was smirking.

"And catch this - he knocked himself out because of the force of his shotgun! He caught himself in the face!"

There was a second of silence before they both burst into laughter. Kitty tried to hold it in. "You're lying. That's the most accident-prone street thug ever!"

Peter landed on the rooftop of a condo building. "Nope! It happened! Anyway, what's up?"

Kitty took a moment and then asked, "School's already out for you, right?"

"Yeah."

"So I was gonna ask if you would, um… Do you like road trips?"

"Never had one in a long time. Why do you ask?"

"Well… Me and Marie are planning a road trip across the country… And we wanted to know if —"

"I would go? Yeah! Sure! That is if the Defenders decide to deal with my part of the city for the time being. I'm sure they will!"

Kitty was delighted to know Peter would come along. "Alright perfect! You and another friend of yours should wait for us at, uh…"

"The Baxter Building? I wanna see if Johnny can tag along," Peter said as he started to websling once again.

"Alright! Nice! See you there!" Kitty said.

Short, I know, future chapters will try to be longer! Now to clear things up:

In this continuity, Kitty and Peter have been good friends for some time. As the story develops, you'll see the root to their friendship soon.

I would like to thank okay_chris and OriginalMiles for helping me edit and get this fic off the ground. I'd also like to give a shoutout to Lucas A., thought we might not be on the best terms right now, he has helped me in many aspects of writing this.
