Story Summary and Disclaimer
I don't own much. I rent mostly. I own the clothes on my back, the food on my fork, and my debt in the bank. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS from Pitch Perfect, DC, Marvel, Stan Lee, Would You Rather?(Spoilers for Would You Rather?) Or from any other movie, TV, comic book, novel, script, and so on. If there are any characters that are mine, I'm willing to share.
I watched a few YouTube videos while searching for BeChloe and found a few fan made trailers regarding Beca as Spiderman and Chloe as Deadpool. These trailers really seemed to intrigue me and hence were my main motivation for writing this fanfic.
What if Beca wasn't simply Peter Parker and Chloe wasn't simply Wade Wilson? What if they lived in a universe in which those characters could exist? What if they, too were, super beings? How did they get their powers? How does it affect their lives? And how will it fit into the Pitch Perfect universe?
That's what I'm hoping my fanfic will accomplish.
Also, fair warning, my writing style for this story will be similar to the story telling style of Memento, 11:14, and Go. Basically, the story will not be linear. So, if that storytelling style truly pisses you off, then after the story is complete, I will publish a list of how the chapters should be read in order of the linear story.
This is my first Pitch Perfect and Superhero fanfic. My spelling sucks and my grammar is just as bad. It also doesn't help matters that I'm writing this in WordPad, that does not have spellcheck. So, if you are offended by my stupid grammar and lack of proofreading skills, please private message me with the corrections and I will happily make them - if they are significant. I will not change the context of the story.
Lastly, I will not ask you for donations for myself or any charity. I will not hold my story for ransom. If you like the story, great, if you don't like the story, great. I will try my best to update as much as possible, but I am only one person - with a full time job - financial responsibilities - and a cat who demands attention, readers be damned!
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy the show!
Chapter 1?
Beca hurried as fast as she could without looking like a complete dweb walking across the commons. She was late for a meeting with the Bellas' captains, at her dorm room no less. Beca figured it was due to her recent string of latenesses and missed practices. She wished that was her biggest problem of her first year of college, but it wasn't. Between the few classes she did care about, the radio internship, and the slew of recent criminal activity, specifically drug related crimes, something had to give and unfortunately that was the Bellas.
Once again, Beca cursed her short limbs as she was trying to make up time by walking as quickly as possible. She was pissed at herself, this time. There was no emergency keeping her from this meeting with Chloe and Aubrey, instead it was Luke asking her opinions regarding new line ups for the station. Beca could kick herself for losing track of time so easily. She usually knew when to leave because Jesse would show up for his shift 15 minutes early just to chat with her, but for some strange reason he was late today. It was nice knowing she wasn't the only one running late.
There were many times she thought about quitting the Bellas. She needed to pass her classes, she needed the experience that the internship provided, and with her power came great responsibility to fight crime. She didn't need a cappella to fulfill her quest to become a DJ/Producer and the west coast Spiderman, well . . . Spiderwoman. Every single time she came to the decision to cut the Bellas off her list, she just couldn't do it. Something pulled her back. There was something about the girls, especially the captains that she couldn't shake. If Beca had learned anything, since she was bitten by that damn spider on her field trip to that blasted university, it was to trust her instincts. Her instincts told her that she needed to figure out her shit, because she was staying with the Bellas.
As Beca was finally getting closer to the dorms, she heard people screaming and then saw the smoke. She wasn't sure if the groan she release was audible or not, but she felt it. There was trouble and it was her responsibility to help. Beca ducked into a dark area to change into Spiderwoman, who was often confused as Spiderman or a cosplayer, and headed towards the smoke. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Beca, aka Spiderwoman, was shocked to see that it was her dorm building on fire. On the plus side, she could identify who was out of the building. From the looks of it, most of the residents were out of the building. Spiderwoman could also see that the fire was on her dorm room floor. Using her webbing, she was able to pull herself up onto the building's south side and started scanning inside of the windows to see if anyone was in need of immediate help.
As Spiderwoman rounded herself around to the north side of the building, she watched her very own, and very comfortable, computer chair breaking through her window and smashing onto the parking lot below. Spiderwoman was about to be upset over the recent loss of her favorite chair, but then she saw a very frantic Chloe yelled down for help. It almost sounded like a pled, "Help us! Someone help us, we're trapped."
A cold chill ran through Spiderwoman's spine. Chloe said "we're." That meant there were two of them. Aubrey was with her too. There was now a spring in her step, she had to save her friends from danger, especially since it was her fault they were in her room to begin with. Spiderwoman shot her webbing on the top of her window ledge and slingshot her way in, making a grand entrance and finishing with, "I'm here to rescue you."
Spiderwoman saw what she expected to see. Chloe was frantically pacing back and forth like a caged animal, while Aubrey was calmly sitting on Beca's bed. She expected Aubrey to be calm and collective during a time of crisis. Though she didn't always agree with Aubrey's methods, but Beca did recognize that she was a great leader. And as a great leader, she expected that Aubrey would insist that Chloe be rescued first, since she was obviously in more distress. Plus, the look of complete relief that washed over Chloe's face was adorable. Needless to say, Spiderwoman was shocked when Aubrey stood up from her bed and said, "Alright, let's go."
Spiderwoman looked from Aubrey then to Chloe in utter shock. If she wasn't wearing her mask, they would have been able to read her like a book. Spiderwoman regrouped the best that she could then informed Aubrey, "I can only take one of you at a time, so whose going first?"
Chloe all but shoved Aubrey into Spiderwoman while pleading, "Please take Aubrey first, she needs to get out of here."
Dumbfound, Spiderwoman said, "Okay, but as soon as I get her to safely I'm coming back for you."
Chloe nodding in the affirmative. Aubrey abruptly turned from Spiderwoman and made a beeline straight for Chloe. "Aubrey, there isn't . . . " but Chloe was interrupted by Aubrey gently taking Chloe's face in her hands and kissing her.
As the kiss ended, Aubrey leaned her forehand against Chloe's and whispered, "I just got you back, please don't leave me again."
Chloe gave Aubrey a sad smile and said, "I always come back to you. Sometimes it just takes me awhile, but I always come back." It brought a small smile to Aubrey. After a short hug, Aubrey headed back to Spiderwoman. As Aubrey about able to cling onto Spiderwoman, Chloe said, "Hey Spiderwoman!"
Spiderwoman turned from the window and said, "Yeah Chloe?"
"Keep my girl safe."
"She's in good hands. I'll get her to the ground, and then I'm coming back for you."
Chloe nodded and watched Aubrey clinging around the small frame of Spiderwoman as they flew out the window.
As Spiderwoman was navigating her webbing to safely get Aubrey and herself to the ground, all she could think was "What the fuck! Aubrey and Chloe are an item?"
Beca always sense that their bond was tight, but she never saw that coming. She was especially confused by what Aubrey said after their kiss, 'I just got you back.' Beca was so confused. Did this mean that Aubrey and Chloe were a couple before? How long ago, because they didn't interact like exs. Aubrey seemed to always quietly (sometimes not so quietly) watching over Chloe, protecting her. Chloe, on the other, just appeared to be Aubrey's best friend.
Beca concluded that they must have recently gotten back together, simply because when Chloe barged into her shower, Tom wasn't far behind. If she understood correctly, at that time, Chloe was dating Tom not Aubrey. If Aubrey was aware of their relationship, you would think that it would put a strain on their friendship, but it didn't. In fact, Beca hadn't noticed any changes in how they would interact with each other. From now on, she was going to keep a closer eye on those two. Something in her gut told her that it was important that they stay safe and happy. She wasn't sure if was necessary her gut or her heart that was telling her, but it didn't really matter, she was going to do it anyway.
The next thing Spiderwoman, she was coasting to the ground and landing as perfectly as she could with Aubrey on her back. As she turned to face Aubrey, Aubrey grabbed her arm and said, "Chloe is going to be fine."
"I thought that was my line?" Spiderwoman said, slightly surprised that Aubrey could possibly think that with Chloe six floors up in a burning building with no way out.
"No." Aubrey started to say with a deadly seriousness that Beca had never witnessed from her before. "No matter what happens, Chloe is going to be fine. Trust me; Chloe is more than capable of handling herself."
"I'll believe it, once I have her back on the ground, safely, just as I promised." Spiderwoman said as she shot her web and headed back to the dorm to rescue Chloe. She couldn't shake how calm Aubrey had been throughout the whole ordeal. When she was in the burning dorm room, flying through the air, and how calm she was about the welfare - not only her best friend, but her love interest?
Spiderwoman was quickly pulled out of her distracting thoughts as she started to approach the dorms. She was one web-sling away and she would be rescuing Chloe and bringing her back, safely to Aubrey. Just as she released the web, she felt the heat of the explosion that came from her very own door room. She was thrown back into the tree that Spiderwoman was using to propel herself towards the building. With a solid thud and a quick fall later, Spiderwoman found herself in immense pain lying on the lawn below the oak tree. It wasn't the pain from the intense heat of the explosion or from the impact of hitting the tree, but from the fact that Chloe was in her room that just burst into nothingness and Beca couldn't save her.
Chloe Beale died and Beca felt as if she should have died with her.
