Spidey vs. Sandman
"Mmm, I could sleep in this bed for days," Peter said to his self as he begins to wake up from his long sleep. At his old place, he doesn't own a very comfortable bed like the one he was laying in now since he couldn't afford to get one at the moment. As Peter got up and look around his room, the thought of appreciation came across his mind when it came to Sable. She didn't have to partner up with him and allow him to stay at her place, but she did anyway. Honestly, Peter felt happy just being around her and believes he is falling for her but still wasn't sure if she exactly feels the same way.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in," Peter said allowing Silver Sable to come in. At that moment, looking at Sable enter the room with her hair in a ponytail, with her beautiful face, and tone body in tank top and jeans made Peter speechless. Silver Sable noticed the expression on his face and started blushing seeing his tone torso since Peter didn't have his shirt on.
"Um, how did you sleep Peter?" She asks trying not to make things awkward between her and Peter.
Peter snap out of his gaze and goes to put on a t-shirt. "Uh, I slept great, probably one of the best rest I have had in a while.
"See, isn't this better than sleeping that small apartment? You really should consider moving to a better place." Sable suggests. She didn't like his current situation and felt that for all of his heroic deeds, he deserves the best treatment possible.
"True but you know my story as far as trying to get a better place," Peter said while rubbing the back of his head.
"I know it made seem sudden but of course you see I have plenty of room here. If you want..." She began to say until Peter interrupts her saying, "Sable trust me I appreciate the offer, more than you could imagine, but I would only be a burden if I move in with you."
Sable walks closer to Peter and holds his hands softly, surprising him. "Peter trusted me when I said as your partner I care for you, and I want you to happy, so if it means offering my place to you, then that's what I'm willing to do for you."
Peter thought about the idea of living with Sable compare to his current home. As much as he would want to stay and just be with her, part of him wasn't sure if he was ready for that step yet. He rubs her hand's softly and tells her, "I.. I will consider it. Until then I think we better get back on track with Electro, which means going to Dr. Watt's lab."
Sable smiled at his response, "Sounds like a plan to me partner." As they let go of each other hands and she began to leave the room, a quick vision from last night and the other night that Peter came on to her pop in her head.
"Peter, do you remember anything from last night when we got back to my place?" Sable asks curiously.
Peter scratches his head and tries to process everything he could remember. "No not other than me telling you how great you were as my partner. Why you ask?" He asks back causing Sable to swiftly turn away to hide the blush forming on her face.
"Oh just was wondering, making sure you were getting enough rest before we head out. Now if you excuse me I need to go check and make sure my weapons are ready to go." Sable said as she made her way out the room. She wanted to talk about Peter's actions but the way he focus on stopping Electro, she wouldn't want to make things awkward between them and throw his game off.
"Okay then..." Petersofty said while Sable left. He then looks over to the side to see the top half of his costume and puts it on getting ready to head out.
*Later at Dr. Watt Lab*
Spider-man & Silver Sable made it to Dr. Watt's laboratory to get more information on what the doctor was working on.
"What happens in here?" Spider-man question as he and Sable notice that lab was nearly empty.
"Whatever happens there's no one here which means less chance of finding out anything on the device that Electro needs to finish," Sable mentions looking around the half beat up lab while Spider-man notice a computer that didn't look destroyed.
Spidey sat where the computer was at and turn it on saying, "Well let's hope the computer come out undamaged." Luckily, the computer came on, so Spidey can look up information on the device. After a few mins of searching, he found what they were looking for. "BINGO we in! Whoa, this is what Electro need?" Both Spidey and Sable look on the screen to see a huge sapphire that's required to make the device finish.
"No wonder no one can find the missing piece. I mean who would have jewelry that size?" Sable asks but little did they both know that some form of sand appears in the room. This sets off Spidey's spider-sense as they both turn to see Sandman launching a sand punch at them. Sable pushes Spider-man out the way only to take the hit from the punch her self.
"SABLE!" Spider-man yells as he takes a punch from Sandman as well when he tries to check on her. Spidey tries to get up, but Sandman slides towards him, grabs hold of Spidey, and sends his self and Spider-man falling out of the building. Thankfully for Spidey, the sand broke the fall; therefore nothing major in his body is broken.
"You know you are going to have to pay for that window and I don't think they take sand money," Spider-man mutters as he gets up to fight Sandman. Elsewhere Sable ran towards the window that Spider-man fell out of to check on Spidey.
"Spider-man is you okay?!" She shouts getting his attention.
He looks up at her smiling behind his mask, realizing that she was okay, answering, "As long as you fine since the human sand box broke the fall!" Sable smiles at his response but quickly disappear when she saw Sandman reforming his self.
"I will try to find a way down there as fast I can. Be careful Spider-man!" She told him in a half serious half concern voice which earns her a thumbs up from Spider-man who now was looking around to see what he can he use to defeat Sandman since regular attacks won't get really out in this battle. He notices that they were now at a construction site, which gave him an idea.
"Well Sandman is weak against water and if I didn't know better that looks like a water pressure. If I can get the water pressure high enough I probably can make mud pies out of Sandy." Spider-man thought to his self-planning a strategy to stop Sandman.
"I don't know what you are thinking, but this so calls human sandbox is going to finish you and then bury you and your girlfriend to the ground." Sandman threatens as he shoots a sand attack towards Spider-man.
Spidey dodges the attack making his way to the pressure machine, only for his spider-sense went off warning him that Sandman launches another attack allowing him to avoid the attack again.
"Hold still punk!" Sandman demand trying to take down Spider-man but so far couldn't match his speed. Spider-man shoots a web line at the wheel to make the water pressure rise. After a few seconds, Spider-man jumps to the spot that the water should spray from. All he needs now is for Sandman to come close enough for him to turn the water on.
"Darn it; there's no use of fighting. How can a spider beat a sandy beach?" Spidey question his self supposedly surrendering.
"You know I feel sorry for you." Sandman claim as he turns his sandy hand into a hammer getting ready to squash the bug.
"Funny I was going to say the same about you," Spider-man responds by shooting another web line at the valve to turn the water to spray Sandman.
"WATER NO!" Sandman yells in pain feeling his body turning to mud. He moves out the way to keep from fully turning, but that didn't stop Spider-man from landing some punches and kicks at him. After taking some hits, Sandman melts his body to retreat and recover.
"Great, Sandman made not be the smartest villain, but his brain is not entirely made of sand for there's no way he will quickly fall for that trick again." Spider-man thought to his self.
"Spider-man!" came the voice of Silver Sable rushing over to him, which help Spider-man come up with a plan to finish him off.
"Good your hear, we don't have a lot of time until Sandy comes back, so I have to make this quick." He said as he whispers in her ear what his plan was.
After listening to his program, Sable nods her head at him and makes her way to her waiting spot just in time for Sandman to reemerge.
"I will admit that was an intelligent move spider punk but don't think I will let you trick me like that again," Sandman said rushing towards Spider-man.
"I trick you again, oh Sandy you hurt my feelings. I wouldn't dream of tricking you again." Spider-man jokes as he web slings far away from Sandman. Sandman turns his hand back into a hammer and goes to smash Spider-man not paying attention to the fact that Silver Sable turn the water pressure on and heading to her last post, the valve, to wait for Spider-man's signal. Part of the plan was for Spider-man to keep Sandman distracted long enough for Sable to get the pressure machine ready as well as make Sandman not realize what they were doing so he can fall for the trap. At that moment, however, Sandman made his hand turn huge grabbing Spider-man with it and throwing him to the other side where the other pressure machine was.
"I told you wall crawler I am not falling for that water trick again. Any last words before I build your sand coffin?" Sandman question as he turns his hand into a sandy brick hand. Spider-man struggle to get up not expecting his plan to back fire the way it did. However little did Spider-man and Sandman know that Silver Sable was already ahead of the game with her back up plan.
"Hey Sandman, in case you didn't know no one puts my partner and gets away with it!" She yells getting both Spider-man and Sandman's attention. They both saw her at the other valve, which causes a shocked look to show on Sandman's face.
"Oh, crap." was the only thing that came out of Sandman's mouth until Silver Sable turns the valve allowing the water to spray on Sandman, who unfortunately was a lot closer to the valve than before, turning his whole body into the mud. At this point, he made a full retreat through the sewers. Silver Sable then shut down the water and went to check on her partner.
"Thanks for the save Sable again. You are proving that you are a big help." Spider-man said getting up with Silver Sable helping him up. He hadn't felt this good about working with someone since Felicia. Like her Sable can hold her own in a fight which is one of the things that Spider-man wanted a girl so he wouldn't always worry about having to save that person or putting her in situations that she can't get out of. Pretty much why he never tries to work things out with Mary Jane. She deserves a man who didn't have the life style he had, and he needs someone like him. Maybe that person is Silver Sable, but the question that remains does she feel the same way about him.
"I told you Spider-man I always got your back. We do make a pretty good team." She said with a smile feeling good about what she did today.
"Yea I agree. Which is why I wanted to talk..." Spider-man was going to official speak to her about his feelings until they both heard an alarm go off from the lab.
"Looks like security has made it to the lab, though I think we got what we needed anyway." Spider-man figure as he web slings him and Sable back in the building.
"What you got to be kidding me!?"
"Seriously!?" Both Spider-man and Silver Sable reactions came from seeing a newspaper that shows the hidden location of the huge sapphire jewelry l that Electro needs for the device to work.
"Great just great! Hopefully, Electro can't read." Spider-man hopes to make Sable laugh at him.
"I'm pretty sure he would have someone read it to him if that's the case." She suggests while she smiles at him. She was getting to use to his somewhat lame jokes.
"Well maybe we still have time to make it to the museum, but what do we do about the doctor though?" He asks her wanting her opinion.
Sable stop and thought about the question before answering. "Electro will still need to use her to figure out how the device work so she should be safe for now."
Spider-man nods his agreement and grabs her waist. "With that said, let's pray that Electro is as dim as he looks." He said as he shoots another web line to swing their way to the museum with Sable holding on tight as she enjoys holding on to Spider-man as he web swings. She wasn't sure how the fight with Electro would end, but she knew now that as a team, her and Spider-man could beat anyone that faces them. Including the bounty, which she has yet to tell Spider-man about.
