Chapter Three: Human For A Day





It's been one week since Mau was found by Spider-Man and for the past week he help Mau learn how to get used-to her new powers while he searched for rumors. Mau learned how to retract her claws, control her strength, speed, and, her sensitive ears. She had many cat like traits like night vision and incredible balance. Spider-Man used to joke about how lucky she was not to have whiskers until she pushed him off a building. Don't get the wrong idea he was okay he's *Spider-Man* remember? But he got the point (Do not mess with Mau) of course Spider-Man being Spider-Man that didn't stop him.

Every night she asked to go on his rounds in the city with him and every night he'd say no not wanting to get her involved if not needed. Spider-Man came to visit her every day two to three times to bring her food and conversation. Mau never asked him anything personal knowing he wouldn't tell her anyway. Spider-Man landed in front of the Spider-Pad like he did every morning for the past week to bring Mau breakfast. He opened the door to find her brushing her long silver hair.

"Hey Mau" he said.

"Hello Spidy" greeted Mau smiling.

"I brought breakfast then I'm heading for my daily life," said Spider-Man.

"Oh! Spiders Cook! Thank you Spidy-Cook. You're coming to visit me tonight. Right?" asked Mau chewing her food carefully.

"Yup! I'll be here before dark. See you later" said Spider-Man as he closed the door behind him. Mau sat there a minute starring at the closed door

'I have a bad feeling about today' thought Mau. But she shook it off and forgot about it when she started eating.

The Hidden Lab:

Professor. Thomson stood at a table cover in tubes filled with liquids and chemicals suddenly he rushed over to the computer looking panicked. Professor. Thomson looked at his screen analyzing the side effects of the joining of the two different formulas. 'Oh My God!!! Who would have known to make it work you have to mix those two very different things together. I thought all that formula would do was make her looked dead but it also made the animal D.N.A formula work.but for night day a month it will cause the user turn human again losing all powers.and for that girl.that's tonight! The Full Moon!!! The moon cycle affects the blood like the tide of the ocean' thought Professor Thomson mind racing. He started to gather all his notes on his new findings and papers lying all over the place then burned them over a burner. 'If the Boss finds out it now works the city and maybe even the world will be in serious trouble' he thought. Professor. Thomson deleted all the files containing the working formula on his computer and shoved a small needle filled with clear liquid into his pocket. It's really too bad he missed the file under the keyboard.

Peter's College:

Peter walked down the hallway to his next class when suddenly Mary Jane ran up.

"Hey Peter How's it going?" asked Mary Jane smiling. Peter smiled at her

"Fine" he said.

"We should get together to talk sometime.how about after school today?" asked M.J..

"That would be great.B-" started Peter but was cut off.

"That's great meet you at the front doors. Later!" said M.J. running off before he could say no.

"B-but.I cant," he said quietly to the now empty space Mary Jane was standing. 'Just great.I hope Mau wont get to pissed-off for not coming tonight with out telling her' thought Peter as headed to class.

Now To The Slightly Pissed Mau:

Mau glared at the happily setting sun she spent her day totally bored and then he doesn't show up.he was now officially a dead Spider-Person. Mau had a weird feeling all day not like her un-normal self kind of weakened she shook if of as her imagination.

'That's it I'm tracking him down.maybe he's patrolling the city again?' thought Mau as she jumped of the roof and started to head out. She was dressed in black baggy pants and T-shirt that flapped in the wind as she jumped over gaps. She thought black would be good for when it got dark so no-one would see her that well. Mau was starting to get tired sooner then usual "When I find him I'm going to make his Spider-Sense's tingle for hours" grumbled Mau.

She jumped another gap but for some reason she didn't make it. So she got ready to land on all fours like she's done before. Her feet and hands braced as they hit the ground supporting her for a minute then crumbling beneath her. "That's funny they never did that be for?" said Mau. She stood up and dusted her self off then looked at the full moon 'How long have I been looking?' she thought.

Suddenly she became aware that her super hearing was gone. Mau looked at her and hands and tried to un-leash her claws but they didn't come out startled she looked behind her.No Tail.Felt her head.Normal ears.Check her hair.Black. She could have shouted in joy maybe she was cured but didn't after finally getting a good look of her surroundings. It wasn't that good of a look with out her night vision thou. It was a dark dead end ally in the bad part of town.

"Oh! Shit!" said Mau as some mean looking men came out of the shadows. With out her powers she was defenseless and she would bet her life they weren't here to welcome her to the neighborhood.

"Hey there cutie what is a girl like you doing here?" said one of the gruffest looking guys tall with a big build. Mau took a nervous step back and the man took a step forward she tried running away but on of the other men caught her and through her back into the big mans arms. The big man grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall

"Where were you going honey? We haven't been introduced yet," said the man and the rest laughed. Mau fought against him and placed a well-aimed kick to the Big Its. The man groaned and loosened his grip a little but not enough.

"YOU BITCH!!!!!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!!!!!" he growled and started to force him self on her. Mau tried to scream but her mouth was cover by his dirty hand. She started crying as he groped her soft flesh as the men in the background laughed cruelly.

'*SPIDER-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYONE!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! *' Mau screamed in her head willing him to hear it.

Not Far Away:

Peter sat at a table with Mary Jane she was talking about her day and so on. Peter never really knew M.J. he always saw her as a pretty and nice girl he never had the courage to talk to her. Know he had the chance he could say he was a little disappointed.Yah she was a pretty and a nice girl but she was like any other girl in class. They all dreamed at being an actor or a model and having a cute boy for their boy friend he didn't have anything really in common with her. He sat there and listened to her go on for the third time telling him how 'Spider-Man saved her' like a giddy schoolgirl.

Suddenly.

'*SPIDER-MAN!!!!!!! ANYONE!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! *' The shout rang through his head. Peter jumped up in shock 'That was Mau' thought Peter.

"Peter are you okay?" asked M.J.

"I just remembered something I have to go," said Peter running out. 'She sounded like she was in trouble' he pulled un his costume that was under his cloths in a dark ally and set off in the direction she was in. 'Hang on' Thought Peter as he swung off.

He didn't know how he knew where she was but he just knew. Landing in an ally way there he saw a group of thugs laughing as a man forced him self on his friend. He was so angry before he knew it he was down there kicking their ass's and doing some damage. With a series of punches and kicks it was over before they knew what happened and all that was left was the big man pining Mau. Spider-Man pulled him off her easily and drew back his fist and let him have it. Dropping the mans limp body to the ground in disgust he looked up at Mau and gasped. She was human he would asked her later about that because now was not the time.

Mau opened her eyes slowly that were shut tight. Tears still ran down her dirt-smeared cheeks as she ran up to him through her arms around his neck and sobbed. Spider-Man shot his webbing out only wanting to get her out of this ally and onto the roof. When on the roof which is a safe place he comforted his friend by holding her and stroking her hair calmly. Mau slowly calmed down.

"They.they tried to." started Mau crying.

"Shhhhhhhhh~! It all right" he said still holding her.

"Spider-Man?" Mau chocked out.

"Yes" he replied.

"Thank you." Whispered Mau.

"Think nothing of it" he said.

"Can I ask you something?" asked Mau.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Can I have your real name? Just the first one?" asked Mau tears drying. Spider-Man thought for a minute then answered.

"Peter" he said seeing no harm in it.

"Peter?" she said testing it out. They stayed there for a while holding each other for comfort as the sun came up. As soon as the sun touched her she started to change back with no discomfort besides a tingly feeling.

"Mau you're a cat-girl again" said a shocked Peter. When no answer came he looked at her to find her asleep. Peter smiled and picked her up careful not to wake her he took flight not knowing of the un-friendly eyes watching.

*****

Maybe there was just a chance that something besides friendship was growing.

Just maybe.
