Peter Parker.
A great genius in technology and a social outcast super nerd slash super hero was spending time on his own in the Central city of Manhattan.
Holding his show and tell presentation he worked hours on for college.
"I can't wait to show aunty May my project she'll be so happy knowing that I got another A+" Peter said to himself.
A New yorker brushed passed peter roughly and almost dropped his college project. "Watch It little punk!."The male said rudely. And continued walking.
Peter glared at him "We'll sorry you had to bump into me! Have a nice day"!
"idiot". peter whispered.
If no one was there then he would have spider webbed that guy silly.
Peter sighed And sat down on one of the chairs near the bus stop.
"Why do I even bother helping people"?
One day im one of the hottest topic in the papers and the next day everyone is against me.
"They always blame Spiderman! Even for the things That's that's not even my fault"!.
"When there is a broken glass people will think Oh Spiderman must have done it".
"When someone didn't flush the toilet Oh Spiderman must have done it!".
"When there is a new villain Oh spiderman must have send him".
"Arrg! people even blame spiderman for global warming and yet im saving their sorry asses everyday and what do I get? Nothing".
Not even a Thank you for risking my life for them. I get nothing but grief".
"In America you are innocent until proven guilty but not for me, Nope not spiderman.
Why can't humans just give me a break for once"?
"I should stop being the hero of this reeking city until I get the respect I Deserve".
Peter was fuming but snapped out of his thoughts of rage and disbelief when he felt a shadow approach him. Peter looked up.
and a woman around peter's age wearing a ponytail and a thin fleece sweater stood there watching him a bit unsure.
"Hi" peter waved "Can I help you miss"?
"Yeah I hope so" the female said and gave a nervous smile.
"I'm sorry to bother you on this beautiful sunny day but... Are you the photographer Peter Parker"?.
"Correct"
"The pictures you sell to the daily bugle are stunning" The woman said.
"Oh wauw thanks..I get nothing but slack from my employer no matter how great the camera angle is"Peter said,this was the first time someone complimented his photos and it's blissful to say the least.
Her face brightens up too,seeing him dropping his guard after the compliment
"But how do you get so close? Doesn't he mind?" The woman asked.
"Uhh No he doesn't" Peter answered "I personally asked him permission during a chat on a roof".
"Heh I knew he's a cool guy! I never believed all those lies the news paper write about him. People are just jealous bitter buggers". The woman said kicking a small pebble on the ground while placing her hands in her pockets.
Peter chuckled "I guess Im not the only one who doesn't hate spiderman".
"If you excuse me miss my bus will arrive soon". peter said and got up" thank you for this chat I really enjoyed it. I see you around some time ok"?
"Wait..wait Peter!" The woman reached a hand towards his shoulder.
"Yes?"
"Um..I was wondering if you know where I can find Spiderman". She said.
"I think I know where he Is sometimes. What do you want from him"? Peter eyed the woman slightly frowning.
"Nothing" she held her hands up in response, "Well maybe an Autograph or just say hi" She said,
"uh I always wanted to thank him for all the times he put his life on the line"
"But a day later he always gets chewed out by the public,Its so mean" She said as her voice changed to sympathy for the web slinger.
"Tell me about it" Peter shrugged.
"I'll help you look for him" Peter said. "But he's a busy guy so don't expect a long visit" He wished he could just said no but this girl seems sweet and one of the few who aren't against Spider-Man so he felt a bit obligated to agree.
"I won't take much of his time Thank you..this means a lot" She said.
"you're welcome..So where should I send him to meet you?"
"At my place,around 9 am ish" . The woman smiled and grabbed a paper and a pen out of her purse.
She made peter turn around to use his back as a table and wrote her address on it and handed the paper to him.
"Ok I'll give it to him the next time I see him miss." Peter said tucking the paper away.
"Please do..I uh don't have much time left" She said and Peter could detect a hint of sadness in her tone.
"Are you leaving New York soon?" Peter asked,
"Yes you can say that..Time is short and I want to meet my favorite hero before I go" She said,
"Uh Sorry I didn't mean to take so much of your time, I better get going now and thanks for the help"
"Wait! What's your name?" Peter asked.
"Maria Elizandro but my friends call me Taina."
"Pleased to meet you Taina " They quickly shook hands and Peter heard the roaring engine of the old bus and his eyes grew big" Oh geez! I got to go before the bus leaves!"
"take care now! peter beamed.
"You too! "Taina waved. and watched peter entering the bus.
Peter waved goodbye one last time before the bus drived away.
Taina felt like she's on cloud nine finally she'll meet her hero face to face soon.
