Spiderman and Kitty Pryde: the Secret Affair

Chapter One: Lovestruck
Once again Kitty Pryde couldn't keep her eyes off of Peter Parker. She thought he was so handsome. She even forgot she was taking an exam. Her abusive boyfriend, Lance Alvers, sat next to her and smacked her in the back of the head to get her to stop staring at Peter. He didn't even apologize, which made Kitty sad.

After class she went up to Peter and asks him if he was busy on Saturday. He says "Not really, but, don't you have a boyfriend?"

"I'm not so sure about that anymore. But he doesn't have to know…"

"I don't know, Kitty. It's just not like me to go after another guy's girl, even though I really do like you. A lot."

"Really? Well, I guess if you don't want to, that's okay." She says sadly as she begins to walk away. Peter sighs and walks away.

Later that day, Peter is checking his locker when the hallways are vacant. He listens to his radio and hears that Doctor Octopus has escaped from Ravencroft. He sighs and takes his Spider-Man costume out of his locker and slams it shut. Kitty is silently phasing through the lockers when she sees Peter holding his Spider-Man costume and running off. She gasps and realizes that Peter is Spider-Man. She then realizes "Then, he knows who I am. He knows I'm a mutant." Spider-Man had previously worked with the X-Men to defeat Magneto and his Brotherhood.

Peter runs out of the school in costume and swings away. He arrives on the scene to find Dr. Octopus terrorizing the city. "Can't you stay in jail for just one week? Please? I'm only one guy!" Doc Ock takes notice of him and attempts to attack him with his tentacles. He dodges them with ease and webs Dr. Octopus in the face. As he struggles to get it off, Peter lands on his back. He rips open the backpack that holds the tentacles together and he rips them all out one at a time. Doc Ock screams and falls to the ground. Spider-Man gets up and sighs. He says "That was almost too easy. I might even be able to make it back to class before anyone notices." And he swings away.

He walks into the classroom right as the bell rings and everybody starts to leave. His teacher tells him he has a detention. He groans in agony and begins to walk away. Kitty runs up to him and asks if he has started working on the assignment. He looks confused and says "What assignment?

"The one we were assigned yesterday. Remember, we're supposed to be partners?"

"Oh my god! I forgot all about that. I'm sorry. How about you come over to my place later and we'll work on it."

"Okay, um, see you later then."

"See you. Oh, look out, here comes Lance." And with that he walks away. Lance grabs Kitty's wrist and drags her away.

Later that day Kitty arrives at Peter's house. She rings the door bell and his Aunt May opens the door. She welcomes Kitty into the house and she thanks her. She tells her that Peter is up in his room. In his room he is testing out a new web-shooter. Kitty knocks on his door and he freaks out and rips the web-shooter off, throwing it under his bed. He opens the door and Kitty walks in. They begin working on the assignment and after a couple minutes of silence, Peter asks Kitty why she puts up with Lance. She sighs and says "I don't know. He loves me, he does. But he just gets, I don't know, angry."

"Kitty," he had put his hand on top of hers "I don't think he loves you. You are one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met and Lance is just a jerk. You deserve better than him." She looks into his big hazel eyes and she just couldn't help herself. She leans in and presses her lips to his. At first he is shocked, but he gives in and continues kissing Kitty back. When they pull away he caresses her cheek and tells her she is beautiful.
