This is just a little fanfiction that I have been thinking to write for a long while. Call this as a another Spider-Man Universe. I always love the Ultimate Series and this will be based off of that with some of my own little twist to it. I mostly don't own any of the characters, beside my OC (it won't be a fanfiction without one) along with a little change to the original story. I hope you will enjoy and also with the thanks to my friends that help me with it to improve my writing skills.
Now enjoy the spectacular adventure of SpiderMan and Lady Arachne.
"My name is May Parker," said the silver-haired woman, "and this is my husband, Ben." She leaned over an equally silver-haired man who offered a huge, friendly smile.
"Hey kiddo, welcome to the family," said Ben as he patted the young, dark-haired child's head. She was a small girl, the age of six. Clutched a large stuffed teddy bear in her tiny arms.
"Well, the papers are all signed and you are now the official caretakers of this child," said the adoption agency woman, Sharlla Binks, as she began to finish filing the paperwork.
May squealed with delight and stretched out her arms towards the little girl, "Come to your new mommy," but the little girl didn't budge and shielded herself behind her teddy bear while shaking her head 'no.'
"She really is a shy one," said Mrs. Binks, "It will take some time for her to get used to you both. I'll be visiting from time to time to check up on her, to see how she's coming along." She placed the last of the files into her briefcase. With a brief moment of doubt on her decision, as she looked at the slight middle age couple. The agent then asked "Are you sure you're capable of taking care of a second child?"
"We're sure," Ben smiled at the woman, "My wife has been wanting a daughter for some time now, plus it'll be great for our nephew to have someone around his age, for once. To keep him company,"
Reassured, the agent nodded her head, "Right, well then, if she ever does become too much or too hard to handle, we can still transfer her to another ho-"
"That won't be necessary," the elderly man cut her off, as he led her to the front door, "We will see you next month," he continued speaking to the adoption agent as he escorted her to her car.
The young girl stood nervously in the middle of the living room as she watched the agent walk out the door with the man, who was now supposed to be her father. She wanted to run back to the familiarity of the orphanage she was used to, but also didn't want to return to being alone. The shy, confused child just clung the stuffed bear tighter in her arms and began to cry.
"Hey, what's wrong," asked May in a concerned voice as she knelt down to the six year-old's level and softly brushed the teary child's face. "It's alright, you don't have to be afraid. Me and Ben are going to take care of you, I promise." She smiled at the little girl, "How about you follow me and I'll show you your new room, okay?" May held out her hand, but the little girl just stared at her before tentatively accepting the offer.
May led her new daughter up the narrow stairs of the small, three story house. "Down at the end of the hall is me and Ben's room," she pointed at the first door near the top of the staircase, "If you ever feel scared, don't be shy to knock on our door," the elder woman warmly smiled, as she continued to show more of the second floor, "Next to our room is the bathroom," she pointed out. That revealed a small closet like space of a tiny sink, a single toilet, and a tubin the back that included a shower head above. "You and Peter will share this one together. Oh, and this is Peter's room!" The cracked open door little pass the bathroom, "He's going to be your new cousin, but you can call him your older brother if you like, since we'll all be living in the same house together," she smiled softly at the little girl, who seemed to be curious of this 'Peter' that was mentioned.
The girl peeked into the cracked open door and could see a small bed with wooden blocks and tiny robotic figures scattered on the rounded blue rug.
"He is the same age as you," continued the middle age woman, "Also," sadness crept in, "He lost his parents as well almost a year ago. So be careful what you say around him. Will you promise me that?"
The little girl nodded and glanced back at the room, "Alone…" she muttered, "Just like me…"
"Not really alone," the middle age man came up the stairs behind them, "We have each other, we are also a family," he smiled at his wife.
"Exactly," said May, "And like I said, if you need anything just come to us anytime,"
The girl nodded, losing her grip on her teddy bear.
"Have you showed her to her room yet?" Asked Ben.
"Not yet, I thought I'll give her a tour of the house first," reply May, before continuing her tour.
"Well you better hurry, Peter will be home any second now," the man tapped his wrist watch.
"Well maybe you should stand by the bus stop and make sure he comes home safely," said May, with a little sas in her tone.
"I'm about to do that," he patted the girls head one last time before heading down stairs, "I'll be back in a bit,"
"Alright, but hurry back safely," she called out, then she turned her attention back to the girl, "Ready to see your room now?"
The girl nervously but also a hint of excitement nodded as they continued pass Peter's room to another room across the hall with a door painted with large pink and light purplish flowers.
"I hope you like it," said May, as she pushed open the door, "I didn't know what you'd like. So I already filled the room with some stuff that most little girls around your age are into these days,"
As the room was reviled, the walls, corners, and the bed was covered with pink, white, and pale purple colors all around. A small bed with "Barbie" logo printed pink on the covers and what seems to be baby dolls and some stuff animal neatly placed on the bed and corners of the room. A small white bookshelf stood with multiple books of different kinds sat neatly and sorted by color. Almost looking like a perfect rainbow.
"What do you think, do you like it?" The elder woman eagerly held her breath for the little girl's surprise reaction. But instead she girl stundaly speechless with dreadful horror on her face but try to hold up a smile.
The girl glance around the room. Trying not to make a scene nor sound so disappointed, "It's…. it's…. great," she force the words out as she stepped inside. But May was not fooled by the girls disguised.
"Oh dear," She held her hand to her check, "Is something wrong with the room?"
"N-No! It's not that.,"said the girl, as she looked at the bed, "it's fine…. I… I like it," she lied. The truth is, the girl was not fund of pink nor she like human like dolls, for they creep her out. But she didn't want to hurt the woman's feelings and just accept was offered for this was a family that accept her into their home.
May could tell the girl was lying and softly smiled, "It's alright," she stroked her fingertips through the little girls dark thick hair, "I should not assume that you were like 'All' little girls," she gave a little chucked, "Heck, I was one of those girls rolling in the mud and capturing bugs. You would say, I was a bit of a tomboy."
"Really?" said the girl with a surprised look on her face, "You are making that up?"
"I am not!" May protest, "How about I prove it to you on a rainy day," the silver hair woman gave a crinkle smile.
The girl smiled back, "You have a deal,"
"Making a deal with the devil already I see," said a familiar raspy voice. Making the two jump with startled.
"Oh Ben, knocked that off would you!" growled May at her chuckling husband leaning at the doorway. Standing behind him, was a small boy, peeking behind Ben with his bright brown eyes at the new guess of the family.
"Peter, come say hi to your new cousin, Nova Parker," Ben introduce the little shy girl to the also shy timid boy.
They both stared at each other before looking away at their feet.
"Peter, why don't you two go to your room and play with some of your toys. How about some of your dinosaur collection," suggested May Parker.
Nova's eyes lit up, "You got Dinosaurs!"
The young boy shyly nodded, "Yeah… I have about one hundred and fifteen species of them. But, did you know there are over seven hundred. Possible nine hundred other species and they are more being discovered every so often!"
"Really!"
"Yes Really!"
The children's shyness stated to fade away. "I bet you can't name them all," said Nova.
"Sure I can! There is the Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus," Peter said proudly as he dashed to his room calling all the dinosaurs names, Nova followed closely behind him.
Both May and Ben watch as the two little ones getting along so quickly.
May then whisper to her husband, "Did we made a good choice?" she asked.
Ben pulled her close to him and smiled, "The best decision we have ever made,"
