Alright, so I know I promised at least a few Spideypool jokes, but it didn't fit into the story. So no Spideypool this time. I think this is considerably shorter this time (sorry). Also, there is a special guest appearance, so yes, there's that. This chapter is total fluff!
TRIGGER WARNING: There is none this time (unless you count temperament problems).
Song of the chapter: Animal I Have Become – Three Days Grace.
There is the sound of ripping cloth in my ears, a sound I'd grown accustomed to in recent times. A roar escapes me as I smash down my fists, the metallic screeching lasts for only a short time while the car crumples, like a soda can being crushed. Then, a building crumbles around my arm, another, the asphalt is cracked and broken, I hurl around a few chunks in my tantrum, making them connect with more buildings, cars, creating further rubble and debris.
Two feet slam into the back of my head. I turn shouting out a yell of rage, ready to pulverize whoever has hit me. There he is, Spider-Man, small even from a human perspective. The tiny spider is perched on a skyscraper directly behind me, it's been hit but hasn't yet collapsed or buckled to the blows. I send my right hand fisted flying forward, trying aiming for right below the puny hero, the punch lands but the man had already jumped away, landing on my arm, the one not in motion, and crawling up to my shoulder.
"Hey Hulk, my man! Think you can calm down enough to talk to me intelligently?" He practically crows into my ear.
"Hulk is smart!" I hear myself screeching in indignation.
"Yeah buddy, you are, but not when you're on a rampage. Are you just hungry? Do you need a Snickers or something?" His comments only pissed me off, but his presence was somehow soothing. I try to calm down for the boy and it actually works. The anger is dissipating and my body is shrinking back down to its original size.
"There you go big guy." He slaps a hand to my back, like he's proud to have conquered the beast or some such nonsense. His remark only makes me flair up again, making my breathing even more jagged and my skin tinted green.
"I am not a child!" I stand up straight through my exhaustion and lift my fists as though I would fight him, though he is still balanced on my shoulder.
"Woah! Calm down dude! I just don't know your name man!" I huff out another breath, trying to get my lungs working at a normal pace again, and lower my arms.
"And you won't know until I get yours." I roll out my shoulder and shake my arm out to throw the spider off, he hops off himself and turns to look at me.
"You're really quite attractive, but your temper really squanders that. You should think about getting some anger management classes." He swings away before I can react and I clench my teeth to stop my rage from getting the best of me a second time.
When I reach my house I pull off my coat, something white on the left shoulder catching my eye. I pull off the paper secured by webbing and read the letters scratched sloppily and barely legibly in blue ink.
'Have you ever thought about having a theme song for your life? If not, for you I highly recommend Animal I Have Become- Three Days Grace.'
Grabbing my cell phone, I download the song I've never heard before and plug ear buds into the expensive tiny piece of technology. Sticking the plastic pieces into my ears, I play the music and am surprised at how much I actually like it. The chorus catches my attention more than anything.
Somebody get me through this nightmare, I can't control myself. So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become. Help me believe, it's not the real me. Somebody help me tame this animal!"
THREE MONTHS LATER
"Peter! There's somebody here for you." My teacher's eyes flash in the way he reserves especially for my millionaire family and I know it's Dad dropping off some unnecessary item for me, so when I get to the office and Bruce Banner is standing there instead of Tony Stark, I'm not sure how to respond to my much older boyfriend at my high school.
"Um… Hi?" He turns and I see a huge grin on his face.
"Peter! Where's your stuff? Let's go!"
"Ah, uh yeah. Give me a minute!" I rush back to my AP Econ class and shove everything hastily into my bag to meet up with the man as quickly as possible. I wasn't exactly planning on leaving school today, but this was a good surprise. After all, it is our first Valentine's together with me being eighteen.
Alright, so if you don't like this pairing, I'm sorry (though I did have a lot of fun writing it and almost want to ship it [BUT SPIDEYPOOL FOR LIFE!]). I challenged my sister to writing a fan fiction based on this song and immediately Bruce popped in my mind, I wanted to at least keep one person from the series namesake within the chapter, so Spidey became his anchor. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this, because I actually had a lot of fun writing it!
ANY SONGS YOU WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT, LET ME KNOW! And if you have a preferred pairing for said musical piece, let me know! I WILL WRITE IT!
