A/N: And we're back! I hope you guys like this story just as much as the first one. Keep those suggestions coming! For characters or villains from any spider-man movie. Enjoy the chapter, guys.
The city was safe, Beca liked to think she had something to do with that. She made amends with the police force, helping them with petty crimes like purse snatchers and burglaries. Her senior year was finally over, she moved out of her Aunt May's house and into a loft in the city that she shared with her best friends. Things were finally looking up.
Now here she was, riding a bike with a stack of pizza boxes attached to the back because even Spider-Man needs to pay rent.
She finally arrived at her destination. The brunette strapped her bike onto a pole and made her way upstairs to the customers apartment.
She grinned when the man opened the door.
"How much?" He asked, counting his money as he leaned against the doorframe.
Beca cleared her throat, "$12.45."
The man handed Beca over a twenty and grabbed the pizza box.
"Keep the change, kiddo." He smiled.
"Thanks, dude."
The brunette made her way back outside and onto her bike so she can return to Lenny's.
The sound of the bell clinging when she opened the door rang throughout the restaurant. Beca walked over to the back to remove her white button down. She reached into her bag to grab her grey plaid shirt and lazily slipped it on over her black tank top.
"Leaving so soon, B?"
Beca turned her head to see her co worker Felicia walk in.
"Yeah. Lenny said to clock out early."
Felicia knit her eyebrows together, "Why?"
"I didn't stay around to ask questions. Ain't gonna miss an opportunity to head home early." Beca smirked.
The blonde winked, "Still waiting for the day you invite me home."
Beca chuckled, "Still waiting for the day you understand the concept of me having a girlfriend."
Felicia snickered, "Ahh yes, Chloe Beale. Well, she better keep you under lock and key, babe."
The blonde blew Beca a kiss before returning to work. The brunette scratched the top of her head and let out a sigh. She knew Felicia was naturally flirty but the blonde sure knew how to make her stomach turn.
Beca shook her head and looped her arms through the straps of her bag. Saying goodbye to her boss, she exited the restaurant and made her way home. Beca smirked at the drivers who stuck their heads out of their cars to shout curse words at the driver in front of them. I guess I'll take the alternate route.
The brunette disappeared into an alley, quickly changing into her suit and swinging off towards the loft.
Beca dropped down on the roof and walked over to the door. She walked down until she reached the floor with the large metal door. Hearing a muffled chatter coming from the other side, Beca pulled the sliding door to the side and was instantly greeted by her friends.
"Heeey, Becs."
"Mitchell, you work at a pizzeria and you don't come home with pizza."
Beca chuckled, "Hello to you too, Amy."
The brunette smiled as Chloe skipped her way towards her girlfriend.
"There's my favorite photographer." The redhead leaned in and pressed her lips gently against Beca's.
"Hey, babe."
Stacie looked down at Beca's bag when something caught her attention. She slyly bent down and picked it up. Rolling her eyes she walked over to Beca and ruffled her hair, "Help me in the kitchen, Bec."
"Sure."
Chloe walked over to Aubrey who was lounging on the couch with her legs stretched out on top of Jesse's legs.
Beca walked into the kitchen and raised her eyebrow when she saw Stacie standing in the middle of the kitchen with her arms folded.
"Why do I feel like a fifteen year old about to get lectured by her mom?"
Stacie quirked her eyebrow, "Should I be lecturing you?"
"No, Stace-"
"Liar."
Beca huffed, "You saw it?"
Stacie flailed the Spider-Man mask in front of Beca.
"Yes! You promised Chloe that Spider-Man will be on a very well deserved break."
Beca leaned back against the counter, "I know but it's not like there's anything to worry about-"
"Exactly! So you shouldn't be taking it to work with you." Stacie tossed the mask over to Beca.
The shorter brunette stayed quiet as her gaze stayed fixated on the white eyes staring back up at her.
"Bec, we're finally able to relax. We don't have anything or anyone to worry about-"
"But I do-"
Stacie raised her hand, "There hasn't been a crime that the cops couldn't handle on their own. You can take a break now. You deserve it."
Beca pursed her lips, "Why are you so against it? Why are you all so against it?"
"New York is safe, Beca. No Lizard. No Max. No Tom. No Josh. The cops can take care of things without you."
Stacie gave Beca a small smile before walking past her.
The shorter brunette stuffed the mask in her back pocket and darted over to her room that she shared with Chloe.
Beca opened her closet and hung her suit back up. Hearing a faint knock behind her, she pushed her numerous amounts of plaid shirts against it and turned around to casually smile at Chloe who stood by the doorway.
"What's up?"
Chloe walked over to her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around the brunettes waist.
"We're going out. Are you up for it?"
Beca ran her hands up and down Chloe's sides, "Yeah, sure."
The redhead was about to lean in and give her a kiss when she noticed a speck of dirt on Beca's cheek.
"I didn't realize delivering pizza's was such a messy job.." Chloe ran her thumb across the brunettes cheek and wiped it clean.
Beca shrugged, "Stuff..happens."
Chloe narrowed her eyes, "You're really gonna stand there and lie to me?"
"You know the answer already what do you expect me to say?" Beca took a step back.
Chloe pulled her arms away, "Honestly, Beca. I thought with everything we've been through you would want to take a break from it all."
"Well, I don't want to and I would really appreciate it if all of you would just stop telling me to take a break from something that I can't take a break from."
The redhead opened her mouth to say something but Beca pushed passed her and left the room.
"..Shit." Chloe muttered under her breath.
Jesse bent his head back from his place on the couch, "Bec, we're going to- hey, you alright? Beca?"
The sound of the sliding door being slammed shut echoed throughout the loft. Everyone sharing equally worried faces as they silently asked each other what could have gotten their friend upset.
Chloe emerged from the room and everyone turned their heads to her.
"Spider issues."
Aubrey sighed, "She took the suit out?"
Stacie nodded, "She still feels obligated to continue helping the police. I mean..I can understand why she may feel like that but, come on..after everything that's happened? She's the one that really needs to take a load off."
"Maybe she feels like somethings missing?" Jesse shrugged.
Chloe furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Well..they never found her uncles killer. When Spider-Man first started that was her main objective. Finding the asshole and bringing him to justice."
Chloe ran her fingers through her hair, "Fuck.."
Seeing the redhead start to make her way towards the door, Amy spoke, "Don't bother. You won't find her...in a place you can reach, that is."
Chloe sighed, "I gotta talk to her, though-"
Jesse grinned, "You will. She lives here..she has to come back at some point."
Stacie averted her eyes. Aubrey looked down at her hands. Amy fiddled with her fingers.
Jesse raised his eyebrows, "Right?"
Beca smiled at her Aunt May once she opened the door.
"Beca! Oh, what a lovely surprise!"
"Hey, Aunt May." Beca allowed the woman to pull her into a hug.
"What brings you here?"
Beca plopped herself down on the couch, her aunt taking a seat next to her.
"I just had a little fallout with Chloe. All of them..I guess."
Aunt May tilted her head, "What do you mean?"
"They want me to take a break from being Spider-Man but I..can't." Beca slouched in her seat, bringing her hands up to tangle them in her hair.
"Is something holding you back?"
Beca sniffled, "Something like that."
Aunt May wrapped her arm around Beca's shoulders and brought her into her side.
"Honey...you shouldn't feel obligated to make it your soul mission to find your uncles killer."
Beca looked up at her aunt and frowned, "Don't you want him to pay for what he did to this family? I thought if anyone would understand where I'm coming from it would be you."
Aunt May stroked her nieces hair and placed a kiss on her temple.
"Of course I want that..asshole to be behind bars for the rest of his life but they couldn't find him, Beca. You need to accept it and move on."
"You moved on?"
Aunt May shrugged, "I'm getting there. Slowly, but I'm on my way. I put his stuff in boxes-"
Beca threw her head up, "You threw his stuff out?"
"No, dear, of course not. I just think it's better if you put the past away so it can help you move on from it. Put it in safe keeping, you know?"
Beca nodded, "I get it."
"That's what you gotta do, Bec."
Beca slid the door open, not expecting anyone to be home. She peeled off her plaid shirt and walked over to her room where she found Chloe laying on her stomach reading a magazine on their bed.
"Hey."
Chloe looked up and slapped the magazine shut.
"Hi. Where were you?"
Beca walked over to her closet, "Aunt May's."
"Oh..okay."
Beca couldn't help it..it just slipped out.
"My suit was in the closet so no I wasn't out assisting the police in things that I don't need to be."
"I didn't say you were."
Beca shrugged, "You didn't have to. The question was radiating off of you the second I walked in here."
"Do you have a problem with me looking after you?" Chloe snapped, she pushed herself up and off the bed.
Beca slipped her shorts on and turned to Chloe.
"Yes, Chloe, I do because you clearly don't know why being the hero of this city is so important to me."
The redhead walked around the bed to stand in front of her girlfriend, "Because you don't talk to me, Beca. Tell me that you're still upset about not being able to find your uncles killer. Don't let me hear it from Jesse."
Beca scoffed, "I never told Jesse anything."
"You didn't have to, Beca! You know why? Because he knows you. He see's you upset and boom," Chloe snaps her fingers, "It just comes to him. But, no, not with me because I'm the one that has to guess what could possibly be bothering you."
The brunette stood there, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the bright blue eyes in front of her.
"I don't open up easily, Chloe.."
"I would have accepted that excuse five months ago. We've been together for almost a year so you're gonna have to give me a little more than that."
Beca bit her tongue, "I don't.." She sighed, "I don't feel accomplished."
Chloe's eyes softened. She reached down and grabbed Beca's hands, walking back over to the bed. With Beca on her lap she rested her head on the brunettes shoulder and waited for her to continue.
"At first the plan was to go to Oscorp and find some information on my dad. Then when I got the bite I felt obligated to do good things for people because my uncle told me that's the type of principle my dad lived by. When he..was killed I wanted to be the one that caught the gunman. Practically started off my career of being Spider-Man with a personal vendetta."
Chloe pressed her lips against the skin on Beca's shoulder, encouraging her to continue.
"Then came the Lizard and Max..Josh and Tom and that's when I knew what my dad's principle actually meant."
Beca turned her head and looked down at the redhead and smiled.
"But now they're all taken care of and I should feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders but I don't. That guy is still out there somewhere and I don't wanna take a break until I find him."
Chloe nodded, "I understand. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too, Chlo. I gotta start talking to you more, I know that. Just..be patient with me, okay?"
Chloe leaned up, "Okay."
Beca closed the gap between them, her lips forming a smile. Chloe pulled back to wipe away the tear that began to stream down Beca's cheek. The brunette stood up to straddle her girlfriend, reconnecting their lips in a more heated kiss. Chloe tore her hand away from Beca's hip and brought it to the side to balance herself as she dropped down, bringing Beca with her. Beca broke the kiss and began to trail feather light kisses down the outline of Chloe's jaw, reaching the redhead's neck. Chloe let out a gasp when Beca's lips found the sensitive area on her neck, biting her lip when she felt the added moisture Beca's tongue brought. Oh how Beca loved to mark her territory.
