Chapter 2: Gwen's Surprise

"Gwen," Aiden answered in a somewhat shocked tone. He remembered her very easily, but the last time he or anyone had seen her at the school was when she pulled a knife out on Kong last month.

"Yeah, me," Gwen responded over the phone. "I was wondering if you could come over by the Queens bridge for a sec. I have something that you might be interested in." Those last words made Aiden shiver for a quick second.

"Okay then, I guess I can come over real quick." Aiden answered back with a slightly shaken voice.

"Thanks." Gwen answered him before she hung up on him.

Aiden looked at his phone in confusion for a short while before Ariel nudged him on the shoulder. He turned to her and saw that she had a devious smile on her face. Aiden didn't know what to make of all this, and he had no idea why Gwen of all people would call him of all people.

"I guess I should probably go and see what she wants." Aiden said to everyone in an even more confused tone. He went to the front and was stopped by Alexa before he opened the door.

"Not that you need any of us to say it," Alexa started, "but be careful either way."

Aiden nodded to her and opened the door. Once he was outside, he stretched himself out a little bit before running across the street and between the houses. He leapt up and was on top of the various houses that were in the neighborhood. He made sure that he wasn't seen by anyone below him. During his free time, he would practice being fast enough so that no one could see him leaping over their heads in time. He was almost close to his sister's level of speed, but was still far behind. Aiden finally made it to the bridge and saw Gwen below the bridge waiting for him. Aiden scratched his head a little, the thought of why Gwen had called him and wanted to meet under the bridge leading to Manhattan was still on his mind.

Aiden dropped down from the rooftop he was on and landed near some bushes so nobody could see him. He climbed out of the bush and walked over to her as calmly as he could.

Gwen was on her phone when Aiden arrived. She was wearing red jeans and a short black shirt with a black jacket as well. She was on her phone before she saw Aiden out of the corner of her eye walking toward her. She looked up at him and waved him over.

Aiden walked over to her against his better judgement and met her next to the bridge.

"I'm glad you could show up here, Aiden." Gwen said in a friendly tone.

Despite how little he knew her, Aiden greeted her in his own way. "Well it's nice to see you without a knife pointing it at somebody."

Gwen chuckled under her breath before talking again. "Good to see you too." She reached into her pocket and pulled out some sort of small case that was made of steel.

"Whoa," Aiden said, "what's that supposed to be?"

"It was at the scene of a crime earlier today involving an armored car carry stolen money." Gwen explained.

"I heard about that," Aiden said to her, "the Spiders stopped it."

"Yeah they did I guess," Gwen said with a slight discomfort in her voice. "Anyway, I was with my dad when arrested the two and I found this lying on the ground."

"Wait a sec," Aiden looked at her in a slightly confused state, "you were with your dad at an arrest. You took evidence from the crime scene."

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Why show me this then? Why not just give it to your dad?"

"Because one: my dad's too busy to listen to me right now, two: I've seen this at another similar armored car robbery over in Jersey," she brought the case to her and was about to open it. "And lastly, I think I'm gonna need your expertise finding out just what the hell this weird crap is."

She opened the case to show Aiden what looked like a spider, but not just an ordinary spider, a spider that had what looked like human eyes on its head.

Aiden had no idea what to think of this spider. He had no idea what exactly it was, but he recognized a symbol on its back all too well. The spider had the same circles just like the ones that bit him and Peter, but instead of only on circle or two, it had three.
