Peni approached the window to Peter's apartment and slid the windowpane to the side. She quickly jumped out of the mech and into his apartment almost tripping on a stray dumbbell. Peter was stationed in the cabin as SP/der squeezed its way through the frame of the window. SP/der carefully placed Peter onto the bed as Peni rushed to turn the lights on. He looked terrible, and she wasted no time trying to patch up his cuts.
With SP/der and Peni facing each other on either side of the bed, she examined his cuts; they were deep, and it made Peni shudder in disgust since she saw the white of his spine. She couldn't bear to look at the gory scene, but for the sake of saving a friend, she would do anything. Peni walked to his messy kitchen and filtered through his utensils to find a pair of scissors. Standing over the bed Peni hesitated
"I am so sorry."
And lifted the torn blood-soaked suit and cut along the back and arms to free him from the superhero outfit. She gingerly removed his web shooters from his wrists and set them on top of the nightstand. Finally, Peni tugged at his mask and pulled it from his head, his hair was messy, and his face was pale. She folded the mask neatly and put it in the nightstand drawer.
SP/der zapped a laser of numbing agent into his neck making sure he wouldn't feel anything if he woke up. SP/der began patching his wounds as Peni had time to look around the room, beside the bed was a nightstand and on top, was a plate of unfinished pasta. She stared at the desk which had pictures of him and his friends, and above his desk were pictures of villains and people who look menacing, along with a red string connecting from different thumbtacks.
She walked back to the bed and saw that his stitches were almost complete. Peni hovered over him to look at his hands and realized he wasn't married. Lastly, she cleared the items that were around his bed, like his laptop which had a paused episode of Greys Anatomy, His red pajama bottoms that has images of hearts and cupids printed around it, and his weird bunny slippers.
Peni looked up to see his closet and got the idea of picking out a shirt for him to wear when he wakes up. As she dug around, she saw a few shirts that were way too nice to get blood stains on them, then below there were piles of strewn clothes, she picked up each one and realized she had crawled her way through the back of his closet stumbling upon a mess of miscellaneous items. Inside was a pair of 1950s roller skates, a glass jar of sand labeled 'Hawaii' and an overturned picture frame. She lifted the picture frame up and saw a portrait of a woman with orange hair and blue eyes; she felt like she's seen her somewhere, oh right! 'Its Mary Jane from the comics' she thought. 'Well, every Spiderman must have a love interest.' She put everything back where they belong and crawled out with a Hawaiian printed shirt.
SP/der finished the final wound, as Peni came back from the kitchen with wet paper towels, his back had fresh and dry bloodstains, and the cuts were medically sutured together with SP/der's tiny healing lasers. She gently wiped his back from the blood, running the warm paper towels gently across his skin, trying her best not to disturb his now healed cuts.
As she wiped away the blood, she couldn't help but feel partially responsible for letting this happen. Her movements slowed, and she felt a pang of guilt hit her heart like a gong.
"I'm sorry," she confessed, and stopped wiping "If I didn't come here and distract you, you wouldn't become hurt because of me."
She looked at his bloodstained back, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry," she sobbed. Peter's hand moved to push himself up but he yelped in pain as he crashed down on the bed. It startled Peni, and she immediately wiped her tears "A-are you ok? How are you feeling?"
"Like shit," he remarked, "In two hours you should be able to get up and walk around, just stay in bed and rest." Peni replied.
He grumbled and shifted both of his arms trying to lift himself up again only to hear a much louder scream in pain. "Stop it!" she yelled as she rushed over and held his wrists. He chuckled and sighed "You don't have to be sorry you know," he said tiredly "It's not your fault."
SP/der zapped another numbing agent at his neck, as she gently laid his hands at his sides,
"Just sleep," she said as she lightly patted his shoulder.
Peter Parker woke up to feel a small pressure on his arm, he groggily blinked his eyes open because of the harsh morning sunlight. He saw the robot from last night at the end of his bed and he felt something wrap around his torso, he looked over to the side and saw the mystery girl from last night, "What are you doing?" he asked tiredly.
Her face lit up "Oh good you're awake. Can you do me a favor and lean forward a bit?" he complied, and she wrapped more bandages around him, "What happened?"
"There was a hybrid monster on 66th street remember?" yeah, he remembered, the creepy sheep hybrid, then seeing her and blacking out. "Who are you again?" she continued wrapping him up "I never thought we'd meet like this." She said as she finished bandaging by hooking a metal attachment to the fabric, she then reached over to pull his arms through his black Hawaiian printed shirt.
He lifted her chin up to make her face him, her brown glittery eyes locked with his for just a moment before she looked away and sheepishly smiled "Peni Parker remember?" The puzzle pieces fell into place and he smiled "Peni Parker" he drawled relishing the words, as Peni hoped he didn't remember her stupid confession.
His face became stern "Is the collider back on again?"
Peni shook her head "No, but I made this." She said as she rolled her sleeve down to show the red and blue watch. "Thanks to the collider I gathered information on how to make a dimension-hopping watch."
He smiled and let his head roll back onto the headboard.
Peter looked towards her nimble hands and saw her as a woman, grown up and a bit more rounded.
As she reached the last button, he couldn't help but feel lust creep up in his stomach, a warm touch was something he missed in his life.
He had to admit whatever she zapped into his neck still lingered in his head. Peter grasped her hands and held her arms wide. Her warm touch was all he craved, and he leaned into her body as he hugged her tight.
'What is he doing?' She wondered as she returned his touch by hugging him back, placing her hands in a position away from his bandages. Somewhat relieved, Peter laid his head by the crook of her neck. His mouth just conveniently brushing against her skin, he could feel her jolt in surprise. She pulled away blushing like crazy, as he still held her small waist.
Her heart was beating so fast, blood was rushing to her cheeks staining her expression in a red glow. Thanks to his spider senses, he felt it all, her increased heartbeat, her stiff movements… Peter's mouth moved before his brain could even process it, "You're beautiful."
She wasn't experienced at all in this kind of response. As much as Peni wanted to kiss him to death she knew she couldn't. If she did, she'd be kicked back to her universe no questions asked. "I have to go Peter." She said tracing her hands along his forearms. "Thanks for fixing me Peni." He said as she hopped off the bed.
"I'll be back to check on you tomorrow, but text me if you need anything."
"But, I don't have your number"
"No need, I already put it in your phone"
SP/der leaped outside and Peni followed
"See you tomorrow Spider-Man!"
'What else did she do while I was out?' he thought.
Whew! i have not been uploading recently because of school and such but my goal is to finish the story this summer. Thanks to everyone who follows this fanfiction since it keeps me motivated to create more chapters!
