The Wallcrawler Returns
A/N: This story is like a companion to my other Spiderman story. Remember, as long as one is updated, expect the other to follow. I'm pretty much venturing into new territory here and I hope you guys enjoy it. If you don't, I guess I'll just get rid of it. But be sure of one thing, my other story is coming along nicely and the long anticipated trial will begin!
Peter Parker and Aunt May arrived at the airport terminal, Peter carrying the two's suitcases. The two had come back from a visit to Aunt May's old friend in Wisconsin, spending 2 weeks there with. Peter, looking for his beau that he had not seen in a while, turned his neck left and right, searching for the beautiful red head.
"Looking for someone Tiger?" Mary Jane asked with a teasing smile as she came up to the college student.
"Hey," Peter greeted happily as he pecked Mary Jane on the lips.
Turning to Aunt May, Mary Jane said, "Great to see you again Aunt May." The two women hugged warmly.
"Good to see you dear," Aunt May greeted back as the two separated from their hug. "How were you these past weeks?"
"Boring mostly but you won't believe what happened?" Mary Jane said with a large smile.
Peter couldn't wait to hear it, a look of great anticipation on his face. "What?" Peter asked.
"I got a part on Broadway!" Mary Jane said with a dramatic pause.
"That's great! I knew you'd get on Broadway MJ!" Peter said happily as he dropped the suitcases and pulled MJ into a hug and spun her around.
Clapping her hands together, Aunt May said, "Congratulations dear! You know, we should have a celebration! I could cook you your favorite dinner! What do you say?" Aunt May suggested.
"Yeah MJ, it's the least we could do!" Peter agreed, picking back up the suitcases.
"I'd be delighted," Mary Jane said with a smile. The three then headed out toward the exit, Mary Jane giving Peter an odd look. "Pete, there's something you should know."
"The only thing I need to know is that you're happy Mary Jane," Peter answered, not wanting to spoil today. Mary Jane frowned. It would only be a matter of time.

"Hey, sis, I've always wondered something," Johnny Storm said to his sister as he and Susan Storm walked out of the elevator and into Reed Richards top floor house. As they entered, Johnny had his nose buried in a copy of the Daily Bugle/
"What now Johnny? Why Jamie didn't call you ten times today?" Susan asked sarcastically as she took off her jean jacket and threw it onto a chair.
"Well, yeah (Susan rolled her eyes) but I'm wondering why we've never seen Spiderman around. I mean the guy runs around in red and blue tights and we haven't seen him the entire 2 weeks we've been around," Johnny said as he sat down on the sofa.
"Why are you asking me?" Susan questioned as she headed into the kitchen.
"I dunno," Johnny answered. Feeling a vibration, Johnny knew that Ben Grim, a.k.a. the Thing was coming. And he did. "Wide load," Johnny greeted without looking up.
Ben only replied with a smack to Johnny's hand, a light one, but it still hurt.
"OW!" Johnny said as he rubbed his head.
"Will you two ever stop?" Susan asked as she emerged from the kitchen with a glass of orange juice.
"Maybe," Johnny said.
"When I rip the kid's lungs out," Ben said at the same time. Susan rolled her eyes as she headed toward her room and Ben walked into the kitchen.
Susan almost got into her room when Reed Richards came out of the elevator, immediately smiling at the sight of his fiancé. "Hey," Reed and Susan said at the same time before sharing a kiss.
"Blech," Johnny said as he looked at another article in the Daily Bugle.
"Brothers," Susan muttered as the two broke off their passionate contact. Turning toward Reed, she said, "We still going out later?"
"You bet," Reed answered before pecking Susan's lips with his own.
"I gotta move out of here," Johnny said to himself as he turned the page on the newspaper.
Susan rolled her eyes as she entered her room, trailing Reed's chest as she left.
"You know, I'm all about the romance but c'mon, you guys just overdo it," Johnny said as he put down the newspaper on the table.
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Reed asked as he pulled off his own jacket.
"No, but I'm going out anyways," Johnny said as he jumped off the couch and headed toward the elevator. "See ya, lovebirds, Wide Load," Johnny said with a wave.
"JOHNNY!" Ben's voice screamed from the kitchen. Johnny quickly pressed the elevator button, opening the doors. Johnny quickly entered, the elevator doors closing behind him.

Mary Jane, her body curled up next to Peter, was fast asleep, tired from the festivities that took place earlier at Aunt May's house. They were now in Peter's one room apartment, where Peter was still awake. His mind was now focused on what Mary Jane wanted to say earlier. He looked at the gentle form of Mary Jane Watson, wishing he could read minds.
Peter had many ideas about what Mary Jane wanted to say but none of it seemed like what Mary Jane would exactly say. Deciding to ignore the thought until tomorrow, Peter tried to go to sleep but never got the chance as sirens blared from the streets below.
Peter sighed and gently removed himself from Mary Jane. Grabbing the Spiderman outfit in the open suitcase, Peter quickly changed from his pajamas to his Spiderman outfit. Pulling his mask down until he reached the mouth, Peter kissed Mary Jane's soft forehead before pulling back his mask all the way down. Peter then opened the balcony doors and leapt into the night.
Little did Peter suspect that he would be in for a very large surprise.

"Mr. Storm! Can we have your autograph?" a giddy girl asked Johnny, holding out a pad and pen as a crowd gathered around the celebrity.
"Sure, anything for a fan," Johnny said cockily as he took the pad and signed with the girl's pen. In a matter of seconds, Johnny handed back the pad and pen. "There ya go."
"You are so hot!" the girl said with a complete smile as she held the pad and pen to her chest.
"Can I have your autograph too!" Several other girls asked, as well as many other people. Surprisingly, many of the gatherers had pads and pens of their own.
"Hey, hey, one at a time!" Johnny said with a smirk and raised hands.
Before anything could be done, police sirens blared and Johnny looked up to see several police cars heading toward, from what Johnny could tell, the Jameson Aerospace Museum (a new museum dedicated to the American hero).
"If you'll excuse me, I have work to do," Johnny told the crowd before ripping away his clothes, revealing his Fantastic 4 uniform underneath. The crowd backed way, knowing what was coming next. "Flame on!" Johnny said, his body becoming alight. Johnny took to the air, leaving a trail of fire behind.
The Human Torch zipped through the air, heading straight toward where the police cars were headed. Sure enough, the cars ahead of the others stopped in front of the museum. Picking up speed, the Human Torch flew directly at the museum. Little did he know that from the other side of the city, another figure was heading the same way.
