Let's recap. My name's Jason Wheeler, but most people know me as Aracnor of the Young Avengers. The unofficial Young Avengers is the technical term at this point though. Long story short over the past summer instead of hanging out with my friends and girlfriend while doing my superhero gig I ended up fighting in a the Superhuman Civil War. Congress passed a Superhuman Registration Act and got Iron Man to help them promote it, Captain America on the other hand didn't like it and led an underground team of Avengers against it to fight crime secretly.

One thing led to another and eventually it turned into hero on hero fighting. The first fight ended with Bill Foster, Goliath, getting killed by a clone of Thor. After that Stature left the Young Avengers and Anti-Registration side to register. In the most recent battle Captain America was arrested and nearly assassinated afterwards before Iron Man finally agreed to stop the fighting for the most part. "For the most part" were the keywords though. Stature and a new team of Young Avengers showed up and attempted to arrest me while I was in the middle of fighting two supervillains and later went for the rest of my team. While the other Young Avengers were fighting my team I was attacked by half a dozen of the X-Men who were hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. to take me in. Luckily Pixie left the X-Men and came to our rescue.

Now it's Labor Day weekend and I'm planning on spending it the way I wished I spent my whole summer: relaxing with my girlfriend Miu... in L.A. I guess the one good thing that came from the Superhuman Civil War was finding my cousin, Molly Hayes, and the Runaways there. The Runaways said they were planning on heading back today so Miu and I are going along and we'll be back in New York before school starts.

*NOW...* "Everything packed, present and accounted for?" Nico asked while she paced around the Leapfrog making sure everything was where it should be.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything's great Nico, let's get going already," Chase replied sounding irritated.

"Hey, I don't wanna be over Ohio and find out we have to go back cuz Karolina forgot her cheetah print thong here," Nico explained.

"That only happened once," Karolina said in her own defense. "And I'm wearing it now so no need to worry about that."

"Okay..." Nico continued to search over everything. "Yeah... I think we got everything. Everyone's here. Let's go!"

"I can't believe we're actually going to LA!" Miu squealed excitingly.

"Believe it. And on top of that I'm spending every second with you, Aracnor is non-existant this weekend," I assured Miu.

"Even if there's a supervillain attacking the city?" Miu asked.

"The Initiative can handle it."

"Did you bring your costume?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Just a reflex. I won't need it unless something REALLY serious happens and trust me, that won't happen. Not this weekend," I explained to Miu.

"Every weekend would have been better but this'll do for now," Miu smiled and kissed me.

"When we start school next week we'll be going to the same school, we'll probrably get a few classes together," I added.

"But you're a senior and I'm a junior. The only classes we'll have together are lunch and electives unless we take the same AP class," she pointed out.

"Then we'll take an AP class and the same electives and get the same lunch. It'll work out fine. Trust me."

Miu grinned and hugged me, "You're the best."

It was only a matter of time before we found ourselves in Los Angelos. Part of me was still in disbelief that I was actually going to have a normal weekend with my girlfriend. The whole idea was just too good for me to believe. When I dated Kitty we never had more than a day of slight normalcy with each other.

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO LA!" Chase howled as he landed the Leapfrog in front of a beachhouse and cloaked it.

"This is it?" I asked. I was surprised how big it was. Then again Nico did say it belonged to their parents and their parents were all supervillains so it made sense.

"Yep," Molly answered.

"Wow," Miu and I said simotaneously.

The Runaways showed us around before we started to bring our stuff inside. They had an extra bedroom for Miu and I to use while we were staying here. It was still early so we had time to go out and do something after we settled in. Chase, Nico and Victor went to get groceries while Karolina, Xavin and Molly went to the movies.

"You want the left side or the right side of the bed?" I asked Miu as I dumped my clothes into a drawer then tried to decide if my costume should join it.

Miu decided for me as she took the costume from my hands, dropped it into the drawer, and shut it; "I don't care that much. I guess the right side."

"What do you wanna do until everyone gets back?"

"Wanna go to the beach?" Miu suggested.

"Okay," I agreed.

"I'm gonna go change in the bathroom," Miu said as she took her swimsuit and left the room.

*Sunset...* "This is perfect," Miu said softly as we walked along the side of the beach. It was hard to believe that we had been out here all this time.

"It really is," I agreed as we stopped and stared at the horizon as the sun set over the ocean.

"I like the sound of the ocean, it's so much more peaceful here than New York. There's always screaming and guns and crazy things happening I feel like my ears will explode but here it's just the ocean. I mean LA isn't exactly a ghost town but it's better than New York and I can ignore it if I focus on the ocean," Miu explained. I didn't put much thought into Miu's powers before. She obviously has control of her hearing to focus on certain things or tune certain things out but she can't decrease her hearing to the same as everyone else's.

"Yeah, I get what you mean. I hate not being able to go 5 minutes without hearing about a supervillain attack. It makes me wish I wasn't Aracnor anymore," I sympathized.

"You wanna go back now? I'm kinda hungry," Miu said.

"Yeah, let's go;" I replied.

When we got back everyone was outside hanging out. Chase and Nico were barbequeing.

"Took you guys long enough to get back. We thought you got lost," Molly told us as we walked over.

"We were just walking on the beach," I explained.

For the next 2 hours we ate and hung out with one another. Once it finally started getting cold we ended up going inside and watched a movie(I Am Legend) before going to sleep.

*3:30 AM...* "Jason... Jason..." Miu whispered as she shook me.

"What?" I groaned.

"I can't sleep," she told me.

"... Why not?" I asked hoping this would be over soon.

"Well I have super hearing... and Karolina and Xavin are..." Miu started to say.

"Oh... Oh!" I didn't put together what she was talking about right away but once I did it woke me up. "Umm... wow. What time is it?"

"3:34," Miu answered.

"And they were at since like 1:30?"

"More like 2 something but still, I can't sleep cuz all I hear is them," Miu complained.

"Come on," I told Miu as I got out of bed and grabbed my pillow and the top blanket of the bed. Miu followed me with her own pillow as I led her outside to the back. "Can you hear them out here?"

"No... just the ocean," Miu replied. Even the dark I could tell that made her smile.

"We'll sleep out here then," I told her as I threw the pillow and blanket onto the swing and sat down with Miu who leaned against me as we started to drift into sleep.

Today the Runaways showed Miu and I around LA for the day. I'm not sure if it's because I don't live here normally, because I was spending all my time with Miu or because I didn't have to worry about being a superheo for once. One thing was for certain, the crime rate was definately lower on the West Coast. I did miss the landmarks though. There wasn't anything remotely close to the Statue of Liberty in LA.

We ended up getting back inside around 11:30pm. We weren't exactly ready to go to sleep yet but everyone was tired and just ended up retiring to their rooms. Miu and I stopped in the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips and a couple cans of soda before heading up stairs to our room. I immediately threw myself onto the bed and let out a sigh of relief. My legs were sore from walking around all day. If only I could've been web swinging.

Miu on the other hand walked over to the radio and turned on the radio before joining me on the bed. "I wish we had a tv in here instead," Miu said as she opened the bag of chips.

"Better than nothing, not that I'm the biggest fan of the radio. I never bother with it," I replied. The song that was on ended and a comercial started.

"I hate radio commercials. They take forever," Miu groaned.

"Definately," I agreed as I grabbed a handful of potato chips.

"What are we gonna do next year when you go to college?" Miu asked.

I thought for a few seconds before answering, "Well I guess it depends on where I go. I'm probrably going somewhere in state like ESU so it isn't like I'll be far so I don't think we need to worry that much. I mean even if I go upstate I'll be able to come home on weekends," I explained.

"I'm just... idunno, scared I guess that we won't be together like this ever again," Miu confessed.

"It's juts cuz you're used to me not being around cuz of the war. It's over now. School's starting. We're gonna together more," I told Miu.

She smiled, "I like the sound of that." I kissed her. The comercials on the radio finally ended and a song started. "Ooh! I like this song!" It was "Shake Your Body(Down To the Ground)" by The Jackons. Miu got up from the bed and started dancing and singing.

I sat up and watched Miu as she continued to dance and sing to me. As the first verse ended Miu pulled off her shirt and was left in just a purple zebra stripe bra. Miu winked at me and threw me the shirt as she continued to sing and dance.

I opened my mouth to say something to Miu but I was lost for words. Miu grinned seductively at me before turning around, unhooked her bra and letting it fall to the ground. When she turned around she made sure her hands were covering her boobs before she picked up a pillow from the bed and picked up a pillow to cover her boobs with.

"So when are you letting go of that pillow?" I asked Miu.

"I like it. I think you're gonna have to take it from me," Miu replied.

"Fine," I told her as I grabbed the pillow but Miu held onto it. "That's how you want to play?" I asked as I started to tickle Miu's sides and stomach.

"Stop it," Miu said between giggles. "Cut it out Jase."

"What's the magic word?" I slowed my tickling slightly and started to kiss Miu's neck.

"I love you," Miu said. I stopped everything and looked into her eyes, unsure if I had heard her correctly. "I love you," she smiled.

"I love you too," I smiled at Miu and kissed her.
