Author's Note: To the Guest who reviewed, I have a chapter in Discovering the Truth about several of the x men. But they aren't really in the show or the MCU so her interaction with them is minimal. We may get Wolverine later on but I'm not sure. I own nothing.

14. Me Time

Spidergirl wobbled. She hated fighting Whirlwind, she tucked his helmet under her arm and swallowed the bile that rose in her throat. She wobbled her way over to her bike. She coughed as the nausea hit her once more. She almost jumped as Nick Fury stepped up to her, her head was still spinning slightly, it messed with her spidey sense.

"Textbook takedown of Whirlwind kid but you're still doing way too much collateral damage." Piper slowly glanced over her shoulder. The street behind her looked like it had just been torn apart by tornados, which to be fair is what had happened. No one had been hurt though.

"To be fair it was already mostly like that when I got here." Her voice was strained as she shuddered again. Fury nodded slightly.

"Fair but some extra time at SHEILD would…" Piper shook her head and cut him off.

"No. You swore that if I took down Whirlwind and the others got theirs we'd get a free weekend bar any world ending catastrophe." Fury nodded and Piper handed him Whirlwinds helmet. He frowned as she took off her communicator.

"Free day means no monitoring either. I know how thorough you are. As of right now and for the next twenty four hours I am a free spider." Fury rolled his eyes but accepted the watch. Piper stumbled her way over to the spider-cycle which was once again showing off for the kids in the crowd. She grinned as it rolled up to her, she'd have to see about enhancing the AI, it was basic but had potential. She mounted the bike and smiled at the kids, even with the mask on they could always tell somehow.

"Stay in school kids!" With that she took off heading back home. She had a nap planned first thing. Across town things were not going well for Dr. Otto Octavius. He'd been cataloguing Spidergirl's negative reactions to vertigo caused by Whirlwind when Norman had called again.

"I am out of patience Octavius. You waste my time, you squander my money and I am no closer to having an army of Spider enhanced to sell. Give me one good reason I shouldn't blow your lab to kingdom come right now." His finger hovered over the button. Octavius went nearly green, he needed more time for his revenge against Osborn.

"I have a failsafe! I will bring her in myself!" Norman's eyebrows shot up then he laughed, threw his head back and outright laughed.

"You! A shut in scientist who couldn't even wipe his mouth without those arms. Which you're welcome for by the way. If none of the others we've sent after Spidergirl have succeeded there's no way you would succeed. But I'll humor you, you have twenty four hours." The screen shut off. Octavius breathed a shaky breath. This hadn't been the plan but he had been steadily upgrading his arms. He grinned to himself as he watched the claw on the end of his left tentacle arm pull back and release a sawblade. He would make this work to his advantage.

Piper grinned down at the web shooter in her hand. She almost had it right. Her phone rang across the room and she slapped the shooter on her wrist and shot a web at her phone retracting the web with a flick of her wrist. She pulled her phone from the webbing and flexed her wrist again as she answered the call not bothering to look at the caller id.

"Hello?" There was a small pause.

"Hi Piper." Piper grinned. It was Harry.

"Hey Harry! It's so good to hear from you! How are you feeling?" Harry smiled to himself. It was good to hear her voice.

"I'm doing better. I'm staying at SHEILD for a few days, they want to make sure I'm completely Venom free." Piper let Harry tell her everything he remembered which wasn't much. He did babble for a few minutes about how Spidergirl had saved him. Piper blushed as he talked about how Spidergirl and Nova had been practically eating each other's faces. She laughed.

"Sounds like you had an adventure. I'm glad you're doing better Harry." Harry smiled a little. He'd gotten a call from MJ that morning, telling him that Piper and Sam had by all appearances started dating. He was jealous, he wouldn't deny it. But she was happy, and that's what mattered to him. Besides he was still her friend, and that was all he could ask for really. He was still upset that he'd missed his window, but apparently an impromptu trip to Asguard wasn't something he could beat.

"I hear you had quite the adventure too." Piper laughed as she readjusted the webshooter on her wrist, she was seriously considering going back to the around the wrist model, there was just more of a capacity for web fluid that way.

"I did, and I finally got to meet a bunch of the people Uncle T talks about constantly so that's cool. We should get together so I can tell you about it in person." Harry smiled.

"Absolutely. My dad's planning this big charity gala after I get out of SHEILD, come to that with me. They're really boring when you aren't there anyway." Piper grinned and nodded as Natasha stuck her head into the lab.

"Sounds great, listen I gotta go Auntie Tasha's giving me a look. But I'll call you later." Harry laughed and they said their goodbyes. Piper hung up and turned to her Aunt turning Camo mode on her webshooter on.

"Hey Auntie Tasha… You look like you just filled Uncle Clint's bed with birdseed again." The grin on the redheads face widened at the memory.

"There's a boy here to see you. He's in the living room, with your dad. He brought flowers." Piper went bright red as she scrambled past her Aunt who chuckled as the young girl raced down the hall and took the stairs instead of the elevator.
