Spiderman & Shadowcat: You're never alone

Reconnect

*Spidey's Usual Spot*

It seems like a regular day as Spiderman was sitting at his usual spot by his gargoyle statue pretending that the figure is listening to his problems. He has dealt with so much lately that it is starting to cloud his judgment about his self. As he stands by the statue, Peter takes his mask off and tries to hold back the tears that he wants to release due to all the stress that he has been dealing with through the past years.

Spiderman with hurt in his voice said to his self, "I don't know if I can deal with any more pain and suffering. I receive great power but have not lived up to the responsibility of that power, so because of that, I lost my Uncle, Ben over something I could have prevented. Then there's the pain that I felt when I lost my first love, Gwen Stacey if I just would have been faster with catching her she might have been alive right now. Now recently Mary Jane and I broke up all because of that stupid fight about me not giving up being Spider-man, and at this point, it would have been our second time that we have broken up in a long time."

He continues saying, "It's like since I became Spider-man either someone close to me gets hurt, suffers, or doesn't want me in their life anymore. As much as I would want to stop being the hero and live a normal life, I couldn't live with the fact that people could die when I could have saved them especially disappointing Uncle, Ben for running from my responsibility and not fighting for the honor of Gwen."

As Peter gets up to put his mask back on he came down with a conclusion, "I hate being a loner and it would be nice have that special someone to in my life but yet I feel like there's no point in trying and maybe it's best to not rely on someone. Aunt May could help but me moving into my place would defeat the purpose of not loading her with my issues. Man forget it I'm just going to be to myself as Peter Parker and as Spiderman the lone hero."

With that, Peter headed home to get some rest and try to clear his head, which he knew that wouldn't help much.

*Elsewhere at Aunt May house*

*Knock Knock*

Aunt May open the door to see a familiar face in front of her, "Katherine, it's been too long. It's great to see you again and mine you have grown since the last time I saw you."

Katherine Anne Pryde aka Kitty with a warm smile on her face greeted her back, "Hello Aunt May, and it's great to see you again. Did I come at a bad time?"

Aunt May replied, "Oh no you are welcome to come in *lets Kitty in*. By the way, Peter is not here for he moved into his own place a few months ago thanks to his boss J.J for helping him find a place for him.

The news Kitty surprises and impress by this new. She hasn't kept up with Peter for she has been doing her own thing as of late. She responds saying, "That is certainly great news. Well, I happened to be in town and wanted to visit you guys and are you for real, but I'm shocked that old J.J would even offer him a place and man it's been a while since I talked to Peter. I'm sure he and MJ are enjoying the place together hehe."

Aunt May with a soft *sigh* and tells Kitty, "Actually dear they broke up recently, and I feel Peter hasn't been the same since."

Kitty was more shock hearing that, she knew that her and Peter's relationship didn't work because Peter still had strong feelings for m.j and wanted her back. Though his decision hurt her, she was pleased that he was happy. Now hearing that the two split again, Kitty knew deep down she wants to see how he's feeling and hope that this is not affecting him as Spiderman for she still cares for him. She calmly replied, "Oh gosh, I have been out of the loop lately. I would like to see how he's doing, would you happen to know his new address?

A warm smile came across Aunt May's face as she answers her, "Sure I do, and yes I will give it to you for I'm sure that will bring a smile on his face to see how beautiful you have become." She did hope that Kitty could help Peter feel better since she thought that he and M.j wouldn't get back together.

"Awwww thank you, I see where Peter got his sweetness from in the family hehe," Kitty said after getting his address.

"It's my pleasure, and I think since he lost M.j he could use some healing in his life." Aunt May answer. After a few mins of talking, Kitty made her way to Peter's new place to visit him.

* a Few hours later at Peter's new home*

Peter was sitting on his bed having a staring contest with his ceiling. He pretty much lives in a two-bedroom apartment for if he wanted company, or if Aunt May wished to visit. However, not surprising to him, Peter hasn't had a lot of people come over, and Aunt May hasn't been stopped by lately. By the time he had gotten the place, he and M.j were having issues over his hero life on how he hasn't given her a lot of attention and the fact that she didn't want him to do it anymore after seeing him come back really hurt from a fierce battle with Electro. He soon got frustrated at her and said some things that Peter wishes he could take back but know he can't especially since they were right. He felt that he would want someone that would accept his normal/hero life, but then again he feels that wouldn't happen at this point in his life.

Suddenly he heard the doorbell ring; he figures it would be Aunt May stopping by to check on him. "Okay if she asks about how I'm feeling about M.j just play it cool, the last thing I need is for her to get stress worrying about me," Peter said to his self as he heads to the door. When he opens it, he was utterly shocked to see the person standing in front of him. He was looking at a familiar, beautiful young adult who had a bubbly personality that he like but she was also very caring and was part of a great group known as the X-Men.

"Hey Petey it's been a while," Kitty greeted him with a beautiful smile.

Peter just stood there with his mouth wide open being stun that not only his former girlfriend Kitty is here, but her appearance has changed since the last time they spoke to each other in person in a significant way.

Kitty giggled at this and decided to mess with him flirting with him. "You see something that you like Petey?" she asks as she places her hand on her hip.

Peter finally came out of his stare mode and finally was able to see speak, "I'm sorry but WOW Kitty you look great, and it's nice to see you again.

He reaches to get a hug from her which he did as she returns the embrace. "Did my Aunt May tell you I live here?" as they ended the hug.

Kitty chuckles and responds, "Well thank you and yes I was in town, so I decided to visit you guys, and that's when your Aunt told me you got your new place." "May I come in," she asked?

"Of course, you are one of the few people who decided to visit me so consider it an honor ha-ha," Peter answer letting her in.

Kitty likes Peter's new apartment, it seems like a nice place to live as a young adult, but she felt a lonely vibe here, and she couldn't help to realize that it was cause M.j wasn't living with him.

"Hey listen.. I know this might not be a great time to say it... but imp sorry about you and M.j. Aunt May told me about the split up." She said with a little sadness in her voice.

Peter, who was not surprised that Kitty found out by his aunt, took a deep breath and responded, "Its okay Kitty and I appreciate your concern. She finally couldn't put up with the double life that I have to deal with; I don't think any girl would at this point."

Kitty could see the depression that he was dealing with all over his face, it wasn't just the break up that was hurting him, but she felt it was just another thing to add to his life that affected him negatively like when he lost his other loved ones.

She went over to him and hugged him tightly as Peter hug her tightly back, but he had his head relax on her breast which made him blush a little.

Suddenly Kitty had an idea just as she was enjoying the hug, "Say Peter, and you don't have to decide or answer now, but I just was wondering since you got your place now and it's a two bedroom apartment, would you like for me to stay with you that way you won't have to feel alone? I promise I will pull my weight while I'm staying with you."

Peter was thrown entirely off from that question. Yeah it would be nice to have someone around the place especially someone like Kitty who he had teamed up with in the past as Spiderman & Shadowcat but yet that would mean that they would most likely get close and he wasn't sure if he wanted that for something could happen to her or he might hurt again.

"Though this is a heavy request, I will give you an answer tomorrow just for you Kitty," Peter answer with a warm spider.

"YAY that means you're going to at least think about it hehe, well I about to head out but give me call sometime when you decide what to do or want to chat. Always remember that no matter what Peter if you need anything I'm here for you." Kitty said as she kissed him on the check that made Peter turn red.

Kitty, still thinking it's cute when he blushed; walk out his place saying, "Goodnight Petey"!

Peter responded, "Goodnight Kitty and it was good seeing you again."

As he watches her walk out, he lies back on the couch and thought about what his decision will be.

"This is going to be a long night," Peter mutters to his self.

Authors Note: Hello everyone and welcome to another story of mine as you can see from the title ha-ha. This story is a kind of what I had dealt with it as far as being hurt by a girl and dealing with depression and what better way to get those emotions out than to write about a hero would had dealt with much hurt in his life as well. This time this will be a Spidey/Kitty Pryde story as it takes place in the ultimate series where Peter is 25 while Kitty is 24. They had dated before but broke up because of Mary Plain cough I mean Mary Jane, but unlike the comics, they were not a famous couple by the citizens of New York as they were able to keep a low profile of their relationship. Also, I made some slight changes to the Kitty character like her body is almost like Blackcat's body and she matures up some but still has that confident, bubbly side to her. So feel free to comment, review, follow, favorite if you want and I hope you guys enjoy it.
