Ch.2

I went swinging around the next day back in New York. I missed those big adventures I used to have and I wanted to try them out again. It felt good swinging from building to building, feeling the cool breeze. Climbing the walls like I used to and wearing my favorite suit in the whole world. And what I missed the most is-

"Help!" I heard a lady scream below me. Yes! Finally I get to fight again! I swung down there in a really cool style and landed perfectly. The robber looked at me.

"Oh great not you again!" the robber said rolling his eyes. I remembered him. He was the first bad guy I fought when I became Spidey- chick. I really goofed on that one. But now is my chance to so how much better I had become!

"Well, well, well, I was expecting to see you again! Who busted you out your mom?"

"You back up you swinging ballerina and stay out of this!"

"Oh, gee, you do look busy. I should just walk away huh?" I walked closer until I was right in front of him.

"Get out of my face you little twit," the robber said as he reached for his gun.

"Hey buddy guess what, the only thing that is in your face is my fist and webbing."

"No it's n-"

I sprayed web and socked him in his face. As he moaned and struggled with the web I grabbed the lady and swung her to safety. Then I went back to the robber.

"You improved. I'm impressed," said the robber as he finally got the web off.

"Thanks, but, you're still the same," I said laughing.

"I have something for you spider punks," he said as he pulled out a letter. I yanked it from him. "I got it from some big guy I met in the shadows. He told me to give it to Spidey, but since you're here, I'm sure you can deliver this for me."

As I opened the letter syringes of the police were coming closer and the robber jetted off. I started to run after him, but was too curious about the note. As I read it, it said-

"Your wife will be mine! What the heck! Why that little!" Peter exclaimed as he read the note and crushed it in his hands.

"Calm down tiger, you know I'm only for you!" MJ said as she put her arms around Peter's neck. "I know MJ, put, I don't want him to hurt you, or have you! I don't want to put you in any danger."

"Why would he want MJ anyway? Yes she is pretty but it was dark that day, and he barely even looked at her. Why would he fall in love with her all of a sudden?" I said looking at Peter.

"Good point Jill, why would he? You never had any spider men chasing you before have you?" Peter said looking at MJ. MJ stared back at him smiling and shook her head. "Actually yeah. I have had somebody."

"What? Who? I'll-" Peter stopped as MJ and I laughed, "ha, oh yeah, I knew that."

"Well we know his name, X.O. Skeleton," I said looking at the paper.

"Nice name," Peter said sitting down on the sofa. He grabbed a newspaper and began to read it. "Let's see, Spider-man saves baby, Daredevil picks truth, Hulk dyes his hair yellow, and what the!"

"What's wrong?" MJ said walking over to the newspaper.

"A giant spider attacks a lab today that was shut down due to a freak accident many years ago. Nobody was killed; a few officers were hurt. No one knows why this monster had attacked this old building and had done no harm to anyone near by. Many things inside were destroyed and many left behind testing information were taken."

"So? He didn't kill anyone why do you look so scared?" I said looking at MJ and Peter.

"That lab, was were MJ and I took a field trip to one day. The same place where I was bitten by a spider." Peter quickly grabbed his jacket and went to the car. "I'm going to go see what he took."

"We're going too!" MJ and I said as we grabbed our jackets and followed him.

* * * We arrived at the old lab where the door was kicked in and the inside lights wear flickering. We carefully and quietly walked in as Peter looked around for clues. It was a mess in there, like a tornado came threw along with an earthquake. Just as Peter had found something, MJ and I walked over a cracked floor and fell to the bottom basement. It was a long fall, and we landed on some wooden tables.

"Jill! MJ!" Are you okay? Talk to me!" Peter said from the higher lab.

MJ and I rubbed our heads. "Peter! You better get us out of here!" MJ yelled as dust fell in our hair.

"No. You go nowhere." A voice said in a shadow. We looked to our left and saw red eyes staring back at us. We screamed and tried to run away holding hands. It was dark and dusty, and we could see barely anything but those red eyes. He ran us into a corner.

"My love," he said in his monster voice.

"No! No I don't like you! Get away!" MJ said. I stood in front of MJ. The monster went to MJ's ear.

"No you," he whispered and sniffed her hair. Just then a light went on. I looked around and saw Spider-man hanging from the ceiling.

"What are you kids doing in here?" Spider-man said pointing at us. The X.O. skeleton roared and jumped at Spider-man. Spider-man jumped off the ceiling and dodged him.

"Hey buddy you missed me," Spider-man said looking at him. He swung towards us and grabbed us. X ran towards us and Spider-man pulled us up towards the hole. X roared as we made a run for it out the door. MJ started the car and we drove off.

"Peter," MJ said as he took off his spider-man outfit, "X said to me, 'No you'. What do you think that means?"

"No you? Why would he say that?"

"Maybe he was copying you," I said looking at what Peter found, "Hey Peter what's this?"

"He took information about the generic spiders," Peter said, "that piece of paper was a failure spider."

"What happened to it?"

"It probably mutated or something, it may have something to do with X," Peter said taking the paper. "I'll do some research on it in the morning."

That night Peter and MJ went to sleep. I stayed up. I couldn't sleep. I was too curious about the mysterious X. Just then I decided to start one of my biggest adventures. I was going to go find X and find out about him myself. I know Peter said he was going to research on it, but I wanted to be the first to figure this out! Then I'll look even better as a superhero! I put my Spidey-Chick outfit underneath my clothes. I sneaked out the door and quietly shut it. Man, after this I'm going to need some counseling!
