Chapter 10
Grace woke up the next day and saw that the sun was just rising. She decided to look at the news and see if there was anything exciting other than seeing people take Spiderman for credit more than usual.
"Billionaire Harry Osborne son of the late Norman Osborne was found earlier this morning after having been tied up by Spiderman last night. We tried to get in words with Mr Osborne but the police took him away after once again hurting reporter Grace Adams who works for the Daily Bugle." The female reporter said. "In this reporter's opinion Grace Adams is more trouble than she's worth."
Grace just sighed and again was contemplating the events of the night before. She was afraid of Osborne officially now because of what he had tried to do to her. In order to truly get over it she had to not think about what he had tried to do which meant that she would have to keep her distance from him.
She switched off the television and made herself some breakfast, which consisted of a glass of orange juice. She decided to get something on the way in, as she wanted to get to work before the reporters started to gather like vultures. This was kind of a vulgar thought for her but she just wanted to get to work.
Grace got herself in the shower again and then changed into a white shirt, which buttoned at the front, a pair of black jeans and a black jacket. She put on some black shoes to finish the outfit. They had to be shoes that she could run in and catch people or get away from them as the case had been within the past week.
Grace grabbed her things and headed out of her apartment locking the door behind her. She walked out of her apartment and saw that the streets were clear apart from the odd car driving by and going off in the opposite direction.
She headed to the café that she had taken Peter to for coffee and got a bagel on the way. She ate it and then threw the wrapper in the bin. She saw the building far off in front of her. 'This was going to be interesting' she thought to herself and headed off in the direction of the building.
She was lucky that she made it inside the building without alerting any attention. She made her way to the lift and pushed the button for the top floor. When she was there she noticed that everyone was just working hard and getting another issue out. Grace sat down at her desk and waited for the moment when…
"Adams get in here now." Jamison shouted and Grace immediately walked into his office like she did every morning. "I want a story on Spiderman just on him not anyone else and I want it by tomorrow so go and get gossip or whatever on him."
"I'm on it." Grace said to him. "I'll go and get some information." Grace left the building. She saw no one and thought that Harry would want to keep quiet about what had happened and she did feel the same about that issue.
She went around the city once again asking about what people's opinions were of Spiderman and if they felt he was a coward or the greatest hero ever. Grace had spent the whole day getting information from people and she had quite a bit. When it was almost the end of the day Grace had decided to turn in when she heard something come from behind her at the hospital.
She ignored it and continued on away from the noise but turned around when she heard something else. A car was thrown by something that was behind her and she managed to just get out of the way of it otherwise she would have been squashed under it.
She saw a figure behind her with arms attached to him the arms were protecting him they had grabbers on the end which could crush someone with a swift blow. Grace saw the man as he moved past her.
It was kind of terrifying that he wasn't even noticing anything about what he was doing.
//\/\/\/\/\/
Grace was shocked about what had just happened and she called the ambulance services and they were here pretty quickly as their hospital was close by. Grace made her way back towards her place soon.
When she woke up the next day and looked out of her window. She found that the streets surrounding her place were crowded with cars. She quickly got ready for work and left for the building.
She got there to find everyone on his or her phones attempting to find out information about someone.
Grace made her way to her desk with all her notes from yesterday and began to type up her article on Spiderman. After spending 4 hours laying out the information Grace was ready to type it up.
Grace looked around the office when she had finished typing it up everyone was still looking up information on this 'Doctor Octopus'. Grace sent her article via e-mail to Jamison.
She soon got a call on her phone. "Grace can you come into my office please?" Grace got up out of her chair and made her way to Jamison's office.
"Is there something you wanted?" She said to him.
"I want you to go around the city again this time asking about 'Doctor Octopus.' A man with metallic tentacles attached to his back was seen last night leaving a local hospital last night. He killed people." Jamison said.
"I saw him last night he tossed a taxi in the air with those arms of his and I just managed to get out of the way." Grace said to him.
"I want you to go and ask people what they know." Jamison said and got back to talking to the editors about the paper.
Grace left the building and began walking around to find answers about this mysterious stranger who was in the news. She was walking past the bank when she felt the ground move around her. "You I saw you last night." 'Doc Ock said to her as he approached her.
/\/\/\/\/
Peter Parker was inside with his aunt when something tore through the building he used his feet and pushed his chair away from his aunts saving her life in the process. Peter ran to somewhere where he could change into his Spiderman costume.
He made his way out of a window and saw a new villain before him what was worse he had Grace in one of his tentacles. "Let her go nice and easy." Spiderman said to the villain just as he was about to make a grab for her she was dropped like a stone. She screamed but was stopped midair because Spiderman stopped her from falling.
She was pulled back up and she landed on a ledge, which she held onto for dear life. Grace looked over to see Spiderman fighting 'Doc Ock'.
'Doc Ock' left and Spiderman looked back up at Grace. He made his way back up towards her. When he was above her she just looked at him and smiled. "This was not my fault Jamison sent me out find out about the new bad guy in the city and here I am getting to experience what he is like first hand." Grace said. She gave Spiderman her hand again.
"At least you're keeping your promise in some ways to be more careful." He said. "Come on I'll take you somewhere safe and this time it's not your apartment." He said to her and they swung away from the bank.
Someone had a camera and snapped a photo of them swinging away. The photographer knew that Jamison would pay a bundle for the photograph.
/\/\/\/\/\/
Grace took in the view as she continued to travel with Spiderman around the city in midair. She used to be afraid of heights until now. Now it felt like being free away from the world. This was his world and he had invited her into it. Grace smiled at him.
They soon landed at a place Grace didn't recognise. "I need to talk to you about last night." Spiderman said to her.
"I'd rather forget about what Harry Osborne tried to do to me." She said to him. "I just want to forget about that I had such a good time with my friends last night and then he followed me out of the club and hurt me by throwing me against a wall that is one of those things that you'd rather bury."
"I'm sorry I didn't get there sooner." He said to her.
Grace sat down by the ledge of the building and Spiderman sat next to her. She felt kind of self conscious all of a sudden around him. She looked at her arms and then back out at the sky as the sun was beginning to set. "This view is better than the one at Osborne's house you can see it completely rather than it being restrained and only it partially."
"I never meant for you to get involved in this vendetta that Harry has against me." Spiderman said to her.
"I know." Grace said to him and turned back to face him. "But like I said sometimes you can't fight what happens in life."
Spiderman suddenly felt something happening across town at the science museum. "There's trouble at the Science Museum. I'll drop you off outside there alright?" Grace said ok and they made their way over to the science museum.
Grace grabbed his hand. "Be careful." Grace said to him. Spiderman just nodded.
/\/\/\//\/
Spiderman was inside the building within a few minutes and Grace was waiting outside patiently.
Spiderman saw nothing from the inside maybe the bad guys hadn't arrived yet. He made his way back up to the roof. The museum was still open for a while longer.
The group of thugs had made their way up the steps and they had spotted Grace before she had a chance to hide from them.
The bad guys had gone inside guns blazing. "No one move this is a robbery." The leader said. He had Grace in one of his arms and he had his gun pressed into her back. Everyone was in the museum started to run around but they couldn't get away as all the exits had been blocked by some of the flunkies.
"We want all the money that is here in this joint." The leader said and he pushed Grace into the spiders that were all their cages. She tried to stop herself from falling into them but it was too late and she crashed into the cages. All of the Spiders ran away bar one. It was a red and blue one, which had a bigger body, Grace tried to keep still but she didn't like having things crawling over her.
It bit her on the arm and then scurried away when it couldn't do anything to a prey this big. Grace didn't feel any different apart from the bite that was on the inside of her elbow.
"Guys look it's the Spiderman." One of the flunkies yelled as Spiderman and he was webbed up. Spiderman went after others until there was only the leader left.
The leader faced Spiderman in hand-to-hand combat and eventually Spiderman had an advantage and he won the fight and tied him up along with the others.
Spiderman looked around for Grace and saw her on the floor surrounded by spider cages. 'Oh no not her now' He thought to himself. He approached her and saw that she was conscious. "Did a spider bite you?"
"Yeah it was red and blue one." She said to him. He got her up and then left the museum in a state of disarray but knew that he had to get her out of that place for now. "Is something going to happen to me?"
"Nothing that your body can't handle trusts me I know." Spiderman took her back to her apartment. "I'll stay here with you because it's a process which tends to last most of the night." He said to her.
Grace was out like a light when they arrived. He put her on her bed and grabbed the chair that was in the corner of the room.
/\/\/\/\\/\
Grace awoke the next morning feeling different to the way she felt yesterday. She sat up on her bed and looked to see Spiderman slouched over in one of her chairs. She put her feet on the ground and went past him to look at herself in the mirror. Physically she didn't look any different to the way she had been before but she felt stronger like she had been bench-pressing.
Spiderman was up behind her. "Did you stay here all night?" Grace said to him. He stood up and made his way over to her.
"Yeah I was worried about you." He took her arm and saw the bite from the spider. "Do you feel different?"
"I do but I don't know why." Grace said to him.
"Put your hands on the wall and try to rise up them." He said to her.
Grace put her hand on the wall and then put her other above it and soon she was rising up off the floor. "How the heck is this happening?" She said to him.
Spiderman climbed up the wall beside her and she looked at him with fear in her eyes. "Your DNA has been changed slightly so you can do things you never thought you could do." He said to her.
"I am so freaking out right now." Grace said with so much fear. She didn't know how to handle this right now. "Am I like you?"
"Yeah now you are anyway. It's up to you what you do." Spiderman said as he was about to leave her to think about all this.
"Wait I don't have to be at work today I have to find out things about 'Doc Ock' I can write about what I saw of him and discover other things on research or something I need you to help me learn how to use these things I can do. Please help me." Grace said to him.
"I'll help you because I had no help when I was doing this whole thing." He said to her.
Grace was glad that she had some help from someone at least. "I'll meet you on the roof of the building in an hour. I need to have a shower." She said to him.
"Ok." He said and left her apartment.
Grace did what she said she would do and had a shower and put on a change of clothes when she was done. She made her way back to the roof after she felt like herself again. "Shall we begin?" He said.
"Your voice is so familiar to me but I can't pin point it exactly." She said to him but just put the thought to the back of her mind when Spiderman made his way to her side.
She was about to learn how to be like him but she didn't know what to do right now.
