A/N: Hello! Another Spiderman fan here :P Well, I want to have a story revolve around a character I made and I have lots of surprises stocked up for this! Spiderman does not belong to me. Enjoy! Please review/fave :D Give me your 2 cents.

Chapter 1.

There's an apartment in the midst New York City, in a room that has not been occupied until a week ago. There stood a teenage girl, going through a list of required documents needed to be successfully enrolled for a high school called Midtown Science High. Her first day was the next day and nerves were taking a toll on her. Fear and anxiety, these emotions were not foreign to someone on their first day of high school as a junior, in a new country and living in a new place.

What a fresh start.

It was almost midnight; the girl stacked all her important documents and scanned through them before placing everything into her backpack. All of the documents undeniably stated it was belonged to "Lauren Riley", Lauren tucked a strand of blond straight hair behind her ear and was going to call it a night, she was tired all week with the moving, the documents and overcoming the culture shock.

Crazy, all this is crazy.

"HELPP!"

A high pitched scream caught Lauren's attention instead of the constant calling of her comfortable bed. She looked out of her window, just in time she saw a woman waving frantically outside a grocery shop but was suddenly pulled back into the shop with enough force to trip her. The streets looked normal again as if nothing happened. Lauren wondered what happened inside, it obviously something up to no good. A few minutes past and no one seem to approach the shop nor did anyone come out from the shop. The streets were dark and quiet; the only source of light was from the street lamps, casting ominous shadows everywhere.

Lauren's curiosity was piqued to no end. There was something bad and wrong happening there, Lauren was very sure of it. Well, it doesn't hurt to just check it out, right?

After a few moments of contemplating, she decided that she couldn't just leave it like that; her bleeding heart wants to know what was going on in there. Wearing her hoodie and shorts, she grabbed her sunglasses and climbed out quietly from the fire escape so that her neighbours will not know it's her and report to her mother. After a few sneak outs within the week to explore the area, Lauren was an expert climbing down the fire escape at the most discreet manner.

Once Lauren reached the street, she walked slowly to the shop and listened to any distinctive sounds. Sure enough, there was shouting can be heard from the store.

This can't be good, it doesn't sound good at all.

She stopped outside the shop, took several deep breaths and reflected on whether it was a good idea to act a plan that was forming in her head. Name felt an extreme need to do this, there was no doubt in her that there was something bad going on there. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest, telling her not to do it. Nevertheless, she took a deep breath and opened the door.

What's the worst that can happen?

The sight unfolded in Lauren's eyes: around ten heads turned to face her, fear etched into their eyes while they were on the ground with hands over their head. Lauren immediately recognized the faces of some of her neighbours. Around them there were big sized men wearing ski masks, pointing guns at them while two of them were emptying the cash in the cash register into a bag. There were around five of them altogether.

So, Lauren barged into a hostage. She was beginning to regret this bold yet idiotic move of hers.

They all were stunned at Lauren's abrupt entrance but one of them did not waste any time to point a gun at her and grabbed her hand, wanting to push her down the floor. Lauren stopped him from succeeding; she grabbed his hand and flipped him over so that he landed on his back with a loud thud. She stomped on his hand and he released the gun so she could retrieve it.

Lauren's confidence soared. I guess the taekwondo lessons did pay off, she thought to herself. She threatened the other men by pointing a gun to them. Lauren might look confident on the outside but soon she was drowned with fear and was resisting every urge to shiver from anxiety. She never used a gun before.

One of the men opened fire at her but she quickly dodged it, the bullet hit the door behind her, resulting in a loud collision and the glass door broke into pieces, sending shreds of glass everywhere. While everyone was distracted, Lauren knows by then she has to do something. She punched the robber that opened fire in the face with enough strength to disorientate him and dropped his gun, she kicked the gun far from him and it skidded along the aisle. She then kicked the third robber in the stomach so hard that he doubled over and snatched the gun from him. Lauren had two guns now and she pointed both of them to two of the robbers behind the counter, her inner gamer girl was squealing with excitement but that was an inappropriate moment to do so.

Everything happened so fast in just mere seconds. Lauren couldn't believe her luck to get this far and took down some men. Unfortunately she thought too soon, the robber that she kicked in the stomach crept behind her and wrapped his arm around her neck, suffocating her. Fear crept into her, causing all kinds of negative thoughts to flood her mind.

Suddenly, there was a figure came in such an abrupt manner from the non-existent door, shocking everyone because of its speed. Lauren was hoping to see the police but instead she saw a tall figure wearing a red and blue full-body spandex that accentuated his slim and muscular build. She needs time to absorb the scene before her; certainly this was something out of the world for her.

The spandex had web detailing on it and a huge spider speeded across the chest area. The figure's face face was covered completely with a tight red mask that had the same web detailing as his suit and glassy lens for his eyes. Lauren was taken by surprise, not once in her life had she seen something like this unfold in front of her eyes before. Who wait no- What on earth is that?

"Robbing from a grocery shop? How desperate are you?" The figure talked. Lauren concluded that he is a guy from his deep voice. His face inclined towards Lauren and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't tell what was going on his mind because of his mask covered every inch of his face and blocked every facial expression of his behind it. In fact, his entire body was covered.

He quickly turned his attention to the robbers and everything started to get unbelievable.
The masked man lifted the robber I flipped from the floor as if the robber shared the same weight of a feather, he threw the robber to the disorientated robber and they both fell down. He did some sort of hand gestures and silver web-like strings shot out from his wrist and bounded both of the robbers together, struggling to get out but with no avail. The masked man then jumped in front of Lauren and pried open the robbers arm from her neck with ease. The robber was given a good solid punch on the face and was bounded by the slivery threads like the two others. Lauren was stunned there speechless, that was just something that happens in the movies, not real life. With just another swift motion, the masked man bounded the two robbers at the cash register with the silvery thread too. Soon, sounds of applause started sounding from the innocent citizens. Their eyes showed that they were amazed just like Lauren was.

"Call the police." The man spoke in a deep voice to them and immediately a few people fished out their phones.

Wow, this guy is just amazing. Lauren thought.

The masked man suddenly turned to her and started approaching her, his shoulders went tense, it looked like he was angry. Lauren has a bad feeling when he was walking towards her. He was in front of her, his tall figure towering over her and she can't help but to feel intimidated and scared.

In just a few milliseconds, the masked man grabbed Lauren by the waist and after a powerful blast of wind, before she even realized it; they were out from the store. The man aimed his arm at the direction of the top of the building and their feet were not touching the ground anymore. Lauren let out a loud shout but no sound came out, the air was knocked out from her and she was holding on to the masked man for her dear life. Wind was hitting her face with great force, it was so adrenaline rushing but frightful at the same time. Finally after a short while, their feet landed on the ground. Lauren stumbled and tripped onto the floor because of the impact. Before she could stand up and take deep breaths to calm her down, she heard the masked man's loud voice.

"Who are you?" He said loudly.

Lauren was too speechless to answer him, he sounded angry. This is not good, she thought. Before she can answer herself, the man in the suit shot silvery thread to her sunglasses, her vision was obscured by fine thread of silver and she felt her glasses being yanked out from her, finally get to see things more clearly. The glasses were in the man's hands even though he was standing a few feet from her. She quickly got up from the ground and realized that they were in a dark alley. She stared back at him in fear, heart thundering inside her like crazy.

"Who are you?" He asked again, this time not as loud as before.

"I-I'm L-Lauren." She stuttered in fear.

"What were you doing back there?" The masked man asked.

"W-Well, I heard noises, I thought I can help." Lauren answered timidly.

The man stared at her for what it seems like a long time, silence filled the atmosphere between them. Lauren was still wondering who is the masked man? Does he have a name? Is it normal for him to save people in New York?

"Are you new here?" He interrupted her thoughts.

"Yeah, I moved here a week ago." She answered.

He nodded in response.

"T-Thank you." Lauren said softly but full of gratitude.

"You're welcome." He answered.

Lauren was involuntarily shaking with anxiety, after everything that has happened.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked with concern, he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'm sorry about just now."

He walked towards her and handed back her sunglasses. She gratefully took it from his gloved hands.

"Please do not do something like that again." He warned her with a stern voice. "New York isn't exactly very safe."

Lauren nodded. A question itching to be answered came out before she realized it.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Spiderman." He answered calmly. " It's getting late Lauren, do you want me to take you home?"

"Yes, please." She answered without a second thought, remembering that it's her first day of school the next day.

Spiderman grabbed her waist, gently this time, and soared above the buildings.

Spiderman dropped her off on the fire escape outside her room. Lauren opened her bedroom window carefully and before she went in through the window, she turned back and quietly said " Thank you, Spiderman."

Spiderman respond with a distinctive nod and jumped off the fire escape.

Lauren collapsed on her bed. Wow, what a night, she thought. She would absorb and reflect on what happened but she doesn't have the mental and physical energy to do so. She felt very lethargic and every part of her body felt heavy.

Crazy, all this is crazy. She thought before drifting to slumber land.

So what do you think? Please leave a review, I would like to hear from you guys! :)
