Hey there everyone! I'm making you all a Spectacular Spider-man fanfiction!I hope you like it as much as I did in my head!
Discalimer: I don't own Spectacular Spider-man or any characters from the show! I only own Lita/Silverwulf!
Peter looked over the city from behind his Spider-man mask a satisfied smile upon his face.
"Looks like the baddies gave up for the night. Guess I'll actually make it home early tonight." Just as Peter turned away to head home he heard a crash from a building not too far away. He sighed and turned back and readied himself to swing over. "I stand corrected." He swung over entering through a broken window.
What he saw shocked him, another masked women in battle with Black Cat. Cat smirked and chuckled as the two circled each other.
"Lookie, the mutt doesn't wanna play anymore?" The girl growled an animalistic growl and sweep kicked Cat from her feet.
"Cat's are such vain creatures. Well, miss kitty you're going to jail." Peter chuckled and walked forward to stand between the two.
"It's funny how 'cat fight' is so appropriate for this."
Now Peter had a good look of the girl. Her mask was jagged with ears perched atop her brow. Her costume fit perfectly to her hour glass figure, her sleeves ending in clawed gloves. There were bits of fur for the collar and around her wrists and ankles. Behind the mask were dog like icy blue eyes and choppy silver hair put up into a high ponytail. Her face was contorted into a growl that showed her sharp canines as she stared intently at Black Cat. Her eyes shone red as the moonlight hit them at that certain angle.
Black Cat stood and walked to Spider-man with a swing in her hips and a smirk on her lips.
"Well, if it isn't my friendly neighborhood Spider." She touched his shoulder and the other girl growled and stepped forward threateningly.
"I doubt Spider-man is a friend to criminals like you Cat." Spider-man looked to the girl shrugging off Cat's hand.
"What do you mean by that miss…ummm what was your name?" The girl rolled her eyes and put her hand on her hip.
"It's Silver Wulf, and I mean that little miss pussy cat here was robbing the place when I found her." Spider-man turned to Cat wagging a finger playfully at her as he spoke.
"Cat, didn't I say that crime doesn't pay?" Cat shrugged flirtatiously, making Siler Wulf gag. She knew then and there Spider-man would let the cat burglar go.
"Ugh, you have him wrapped around your sticky little fingers." Spider-man ignored the comment and let the thief off with another stern warning letting her escape through the window.
Silver Wulf then clicked a button on her gloves cocking the claws back and preparing to fire when the other hero stopped her.
"You know this isn't a game, it's dangerous out here and not just any person that puts on a suit can do it. You should go home where it's safe." The heroine glared dangerously at the arachnid and let out a wolf like growl.
"I can see that plain as day, Spider-man. I'm not just some regular kid that thinks I'm a hero." His name was spat venomously at him as those eyes glared straight at him. She braced herself grabbing her wrist and firing the claws of each finger out, cables connected to them. She swung out with such grace that the hero couldn't help but watch as she jumped from building to building effortlessly.
Silver Wulf landed gracefully on the last roof and took off her mask her pupils returning to their human shape. Her hair slowly turned from silver to brown from roots to tips as the moon began to wane. She slid through an open window dust coming up from the floors as she landed. She sighed at the place she called home and got into a pair of pajamas and slid into bed. Her anger had slowly gone away as she felt the wind through her hair on her way home and she fell asleep quickly.
Peter ran reaching the gates of the school just in time. He had woken up late thanks to the mysterious Silver Wulf. He had spent all night wondering about her. He wondered who she was, where she came from, and when she had come on the hero scene. He sighed in relief as he reached his class just before the bell rang. He sat next to Gwen per usual and listened partly to today's lecture.
Her blue eyes went to the door as the familiar scent invaded her nostrils. She was just starting to get the hang of her heightened senses. There she spotted him, Peter Parker, the only guy in the whole school who gave her a run for her money when it came to grades. She didn't remember where the scent was from, only assuming that it was from him walking by her in the halls. She felt a twinge of pain as the class period ended, and the bell rang. She made a mental note to invest in some ear plugs, or headphones, as she walked from the classroom. She growled silently as she was pushed aside by Eugene Thompson, or as everyone called him, Flash.
She hated how they could treat people like this and never feel any remorse. To them anyone with a 3.0 grade average or higher was invisible, or there to be tormented. She stopped in frustration as Sally Avril repeated what Flash had done, only this time knocking her books from her hands in the process.
"Oops, did I do that? Freak." She said it under her breath but she heard it as if Sally had yelled it. She wanted to say something, but when she looked up to open her mouth they were gone. She sighed and picked up her things and walked to her next class. She walked her bangs covering her eyes slightly. She had always been invisible, even to those who were in her circle. She bumped into Harry Osbourne and apologized quietly swiftly disappearing to her locker.
Peter and Gwen looked to the brown haired girl as she apologized to Harry in a mousy voice. Peter looked as she strode away quickly.
"She was sure in a hurry." Harry looked back too and then raised an eyebrow to Peter and Gwen.
"Who is she anyway? I've never seen her around before, maybe she's new?" Gwen shook her head and pushed her glasses up to the bridge of her nose.
"She's in our class; I think her name is Lita."
Lita was the first one to reach her second period class and the teacher greeted her warmly.
"Good morning miss Willis." Lita smiled shyly and took her seat in the back and leaned back in it. School was the worst part of the day; she loved the classes, but hated the people. The 'popular' people always made her life hell.
The class piled in and the bell rang hurting Lita's sensitive ears. She couldn't wait till the day was over, and she could be left alone. To the untrained eye she was just a shy nerd, but only she knew that there was much more to her then that. She was a tortured soul that had the worst luck anyone seemed to have. No one ever took the time to look deep into her problems.
She was so much more than meets the eye. She wished that maybe just maybe someone would look deep into her and see what was really there. All she really wanted was to be liked, even just by one person. She wondered how she would ever achieve this and never found an answer. And so, she just accepted the fact that maybe it wasn't meant to be. Although, she did wonder what life would feel like had she been accepted into the circle people had thrown her in.
Gwen looked back as the teacher called the girl's name.
"Lita Willis?" The girl raised her hand and quickly went back to staring down at her desk. Gwen looked to Peter and Harry thoughtfully.
"I kind of feel sorry for her. Maybe we should ask her to sit with us?" Harry looked back to the girl as well and made an unsure expression.
"I don't know Gwen; she kinda gives me the creeps."
Peter looked back and nodded to Gwen. There was something sad surrounding the girl, as if maybe she needed someone to reach out for her.
"Yeah, ask her at lunch. I wouldn't mind having another person at our table." Gwen's expression went back to normal as Peter's statement snapped her out of giving Harry 'the stare'. She nodded smiling to her friends and turning to the front of the class to listen intently on the notes to be recorded.
Come lunch time Lita looked around searching for her usually empty table, but found it occupied. She sighed staring disgustedly down at the chocolate chip muffin that sat on her tray. She couldn't enjoy the tastes chocolate had to offer any more, not since what had happened. She looked up again to see Peter Parker and company staring at her. She shifted uncomfortably wondering why they felt the need to do that. Gwen signaled her to come over shyly and Lita looked around confusedly then pointing to herself in a silent inquiry. Gwen nodded and smiled to her and Lita walked over hesitantly, wondering what they wanted.
She sat down without a word studying the mannerisms of the three. She could smell the discomfort in the air. She could also hear the giggles from the jock table. It seemed there was a disturbance in the order, her sitting with people who were part of a clique. Gwen smiled and held out her hand.
"Hey I'm…." Lita cut her off her voice coming out low.
"Gwen Stacy, I know…we have classes together." She took her hand away and cleared her throat nervously. The taste of nervousness on Lita's tongue showed just how tangibly anxious Gwen was. Gwen tried again to spark a conversation with the girl.
"Didn't you apply to work at the Connors' lab with us?" Lita nodded and pushed her food around with her spork.
"I wasn't accepted, all the spots got filled."
Gwen pushed her glasses up and nodded.
"Well, they have another opening. I'm going after school if you want to come and ask." Lita looked at her giving Gwen the first good look at her eyes. Lita tried to find any other emotion besides sincerity behind her eyes but couldn't. Gwen was marveling at her icy blue orbs when Lita answered.
"Sure." Lita felt nervousness hit her as realization hit that this was sort of a chance to hang out.
Lita smiled slightly as she saw Gwen smile at her approval of her offer.
"Great, I'll meet you outside after school?" Lita nodded and ate some mashed potatoes looking into the eyes of Gwen's two male friends who had been staring the whole time. Harry had suddenly opened his mouth to speak; his voice was kind of nasally and shook as he spoke.
"You gonna eat that muffin?" She shook her head handing it to him and clearing her throat.
"I'm allergic to chocolate."
Harry gasped and went wide-eyed.
"Serious? Wow that bites. I can't imagine life without chocolate." Lita shrugged and continued to pick at her lunch idly looking up ever so often as the three started their own conversation. She could hear the chatter at the popular table, her being the subject of conversation. Her ears twitched slightly as she heard Liz Allen's voice.
"She was better off being a freak on her own!" She felt her blood boil and was only brought back to earth when she heard the snap of the plastic spork in her hand.
She looked as the three that shared her table looked at her in surprise.
"Wasn't paying attention, sorry." They went back to conversation and Lita glared at the brunette cheerleader as their eyes met. Then the whole table's eyes were on her and she unwillingly backed down. She blocked out their chatter and turned to the three that had taken her in.
After school she waited for Gwen her books in hand. She saw Gwen run over yelling her salutations to Peter and Harry before stopping next to her.
"Ready?" Lita nodded and smiled at Gwen. Maybe her luck was starting to turn; maybe Gwen would be her first friend in a long time.
She heard the whiz too late as the rubber filled with water came too close for her to dodge. She felt the snap of the rubber against her scalp as it broke letting the water inside soak her head and trickle down to her clothes. She stood in shock before turning to the window to see Flash Thompson and Kenny Kong chuckling away and chucking more balloons at her. She pushed Gwen out of the way and just took her lashing. The sound of laughter hit her ears between each pooping of the balloons against her. When they had no more balloons to throw she looked down to the ground her fists clenched. She felt the tears prick her eyes knowing that all eyes were on her and they were laughing at her pain.
She wouldn't dare give Flash Thompson and his cronies the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She shook her hair out drying it slightly before picking up her fallen books. She turned to Gwen her eyes watering and her voice coming out stony.
"You ready to go?" She looked at her in pity before nodding and walking with her out onto the sidewalk.
"Flash is such a creep, you didn't deserve that. No one does." Lita felt some of the tears slip out and bit her lip and answering Gwen her voice wavering for once.
"Whatever I don't care about them." Gwen looked at her and put her hand on Lita's shoulder.
"Thanks for saving me from getting drenched." Lita nodded and looked to Gwen unable to stop the tears. Luckily it looked just like streams from the jock onslaught.
"No problem, implus they wanted me, not you." Gwen and Lita stayed silent as they walked to the lab.
When they reached the lab Lita was partly dried off. Gwen walked in greeting the two doctors in return. They spotted her and came to ask about her new visitor. Dr. Connors was pretty tall with blonde hair a few shades lighter then Gwen's, and had a prosthetic arm.
"Gwen who's your slightly damp friend?" Gwen looked to another blonde male with blue eyes and a black biker jacket on.
"This is Lita Willis, she wanted to talk with Dr. Connors."
Dr. Connors looked to Lita giving her a sudden case of nerves.
"I…um, wanted to ask about any openings in the lab. I applied earlier in the year, but all the spots for students were filled." Dr. Connors looked away in contemplation and then to whom Lita assumed to be his wife.
"We weren't looking for a replacement for Peter, but I guess we could use you around." Lita smiled and thanked the doctors graciously before turning to Gwen and thanking her.
"Hey, now we're even for earlier."
Dr. Connors shook Lita's hand and congratulated her, welcoming her to the team. She started that day after being shown around and introduced to everyone. As she wiped clean the cases that held a few genetically altered spiders she turned to Gwen and asked.
"What happened with Peter? Did he quit?" Gwen tensed and looked nervously to Lita before answering.
"Let's just say Peter made a choice that gave the Connors' trust issues with him." Lita nodded and didn't press any further for information.
She felt all her troubles from the day fade as she spent time with Gwen getting to know her better, as well as Eddie Brock. The only part that bothered her was that the lab smelled too much like the place that had given her these great abilities. It reminded her too much of the pain and fear she had endured in a lab just like this one. The intense smell of chemicals and machinery hit her nose, just like it had when she woke up in chains. It was just like the day she had become Silver Wulf.
