Chapter 11

            Peter never felt so energized and recharged in his life! He felt like he could take on the world and the Green Goblin at the same time! Hell, he could take on ten goblins if he wanted to!

            Spider Man stood on the edge of a statue of a gargoyle's head and peered out down at the streets below.

            He slowly raised his head up to see the sun peeking over the smaller buildings of New York City.

            "I'm ready for ya, gobby! Make your first move!" Spider Man spoke in an excited voice.

            As he waited, he thought of last night's events when Samus had tore off his clothes and went down on him.

            Peter never experienced such a surprise at all in his life!

            All the research he had done never came close to actually being able to do it. He never knew how much it felt so good until now.

            Peter had his first lesson in sex.

            "Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would love a scientific geek such as Peter Parker?" Spider Man asked himself as he folded his arms.

            "It's strange how events turn out the way they do… Peter Parker, the geekest geek of high school gets bitten by a radio active spider that creates New York's greatest hero, then Uncle Ben gets killed, Mary Jane the one I've loved since kindergarten becomes my best friend's girlfriend, then a new menace such as the Green Goblin shows up, and an alien comes to Earth and wanted to kill me, and I have an actual girlfriend that I lost my virginity to… I wonder what Uncle Ben would think of all this? He'd probably give me the 'birds and the bees' talk."

            "Do you enjoy talking to yourself?" The deep voice of the alien armor asked from behind Spider Man.

            Spider Man spun around to see the alien armor sitting on the rooftop of an elevator shaft of the building that Peter was on.

            Spider Man sighed irritably and shook his head, "Do you enjoy interrupting people's conversations?"

            "That depends if the person is talking to himself."

            "Do you have a problem with me talking to myself?" Spider Man asked.

            The red helmet shook back and forth, "Nah. I find your conversations quite interesting."

            "That's unusual for an alien from Mars or whatever to take an interest to a human's conversation with himself." Spider Man replied.

            "What makes you think I'm from Mars?"

            "You're obviously not from Earth." Spider Man answered.

            The alien hopped off the elevator shaft and approached Spider Man.

            "Are you always an asshole, Peter?" The deep voice asked questionably.

            "What makes you think that?.. Oh, if you wouldn't mind, I'd prefer to be called Spider Man. I wouldn't want the word to get out of who I really am, if you know what I mean." Peter folded his arms.

            The deep voice sighed and the alien armor placed its left hand on its hip, "Well, I hope I'm not distracting you from your duties as a hero, but I think that building over there is on fire."

            Spider Man let his arms fall and quickly turned around and spotted smoke rising in the distance.

            "Oh shit!" Peter exclaimed and quickly ran to leap into the air to shout out a web line. Spider Man swung from web to web as quickly as he could in the direction of the rising smoke.

            Well, this makes my day even better.

            Peter looked down to see a crowd of people across the street of a burning building.

            He saw a woman trying to head toward the building, but some police officers held her back.

            She looked up at him and shouted in a whimpering voice, "Save my baby!"

            Peter shot a web line out to swing and crash into a window of the burning building.

*          *            *

            Samus followed by using space jump and landed on the building opposite of the burning building Spider Man just went into through a window.

            She folded her arms as she stared at the window Spider Man had gone into.

            "I hope he's going to be alright without a fireproof costume…" Samus said softly in concern.

            Suddenly, and eruption of fire exploded and sent broken glass from the windows into the air.

            She let her arms fall and went to the edge of the rooftop.

            Samus let out a sigh of relief as she watched Spider Man run toward the window and did a flip as he jumped out.

            She lowered her helmet as Spider Man shot out a web and slowly lowered himself to the ground.

                                                            *            *            *

            "Here's your baby, ma'am." Spider Man handed the infant that was wrapped in a thick blanket to keep it safe from the hot flames, to the whimpering mother.

            The woman took her child and held it close and let out a sigh of relief, "God bless you, Spider man. God bless you."

            Peter turned and saw a group of cops running toward him and one of them shouted, "You there! Don't move!"

            The cops stopped suddenly just as they heard a scream come from the burning building.

            Spider Man turned his attention back to the cops and proclaimed, "I'm going, chief, but I'm not coming back unless you want to take me in right now."

            The cop grumbled, "G-go!"

            Spider Man shot out a web line and swung up into the air and crashed through another window of the flame-engulfed building.

                                                            *            *            *

            Samus rolled her eyes and muttered, "Yeah, that's a good idea to go back inside a building that's about to be swollen into flames."

            She jumped into the air and space jumped and went through a window of the burning structure.

            Samus landed and looked around. She ignored the fiery hot flames as they licked her fireproof Varia power suit.

            She flipped on her life-form detector visor and spotted one figure kneeling down and another figure slowly approaching the kneeling figure.

            Samus ran through a few burning doorways toward the kneeling figure and heard Peter's muffled voice shouting in desperation, "Where are you?!"

                                                            *            *            *

            Spider Man stopped and gasped as he saw the figure, with a blanket of it, slowly rise.

            The figure threw off the blanket and revealed itself to be the Green Goblin.

            "So this is what you get for saving precious little lives? A toaster oven?!.. I've offered you the choice to join me, but you keep throwing it in my face."

            "You don't take the hint very well, do you, gobby? I'd never join you even if I didn't have to save these people." Spider Man replied back.

            "I see… then I won't kindly ask you to join me anymore, now that you have made your choice… Say hello to the end, hero! It's time to die!"

            Spider Man's spider sense went off just as the Green Goblin threw round objects with curved razors at him.

            He quickly reacted by doing a series of summersaults and bending his back and throwing his arms aside as the razor objects flew past him.

            Spider Man stood straight as the objects went back toward the Green Goblin, but instead went around the puke green costumed maniac.

            He turned his attention to something that walked out form behind a fire-covered wall just a room behind the Green Goblin.

            The alien armor was now dressed in an orange and yellow power suit instead of its original green color.

            Whoa! That alien is walking in this heat like it was just a normal warm sunny day! I can already feel sweat on my back! Peter thought.

            Spider Man suddenly let out a yelp of pain as the razor objects zipped past him and unexpectedly left a gash across his arm.

            He stumbled over just as an explosion of fire erupted within the burning building, causing the structure to tremble.

            Peter turned and ran to jump out of the window to avoid the searing hot flames as they engulfed the entire room.

                                                            *            *            *         

            Samus bumped into a wall as an explosion shook the building. She suddenly heard a jet engine zoom into the room and the Green Goblin yell out, "We're not finished yet, Spider Man!" The jet engines then roared out of the building.

            Samus quickly headed toward on of the windows and jumped out to make her escape.

                                                            *            *            *         

            Peter stormed through the doors of his and Harry's apartment room with a can of cranberry sauce.

            "Sorry that I'm late!" Peter said as Aunt May, Harry, Mary Jane, and Norman Osborn came into the room.

            Peter handed his aunt the can and said, "I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get this!"

            Aunt May smiled and chuckled, "Now that we're all here, we can start the feast."

            Peter quickly glanced around and asked, "Hey, where's Samus?"

            Aunt May returned attention back to Peter and asked curiously, "Who?"

            Peter turned back to the front door just as he heard the elevator come up.

            The doors flew open and Samus rammed into Peter.

            "Oh, um, sorry that I'm late!" Samus stepped back and raised her gaze to everyone in the room. She suddenly felt uneasy as all eyes were fixed on her. "Uh.. hello?"

            Peter was the first to say something, "Wow! You.. you look great!" He couldn't take his eyes off Samus.

            She was dressed in a dark blue knee-high length, sleeveless silk dress. The collar was in a round shape that revealed the top of her breasts. Her golden hair was pulled up into a bun with strands of her hair hanging around the sides of her face.

            Norman's and Harry's eyes grew wide. Norman Osborn eagerly approached the young beautiful woman and held out his hand, "Hi. I believe we've never met."

            Samus smiled as the older man smiled, almost hungrily at her.

            "Uh, hello.. I'm uh-"

            Peter came to her side and turned toward Norman, "This is Samus. She's uhh.. my girlfriend."

            Aunt May furrowed her eyebrows, "Peter! You never told me that you had a beautiful young lady for a girlfriend. Why didn't you tell us before?"

            Peter blushed, "Well, um… now you know, Aunt May." He spoke shyly.

            Peter gestured toward the elderly woman, "Samus, I would like you to meet my aunt, May Parker."

            Samus smiled at Aunt May and softly spoke, "It's an honor to meet you, May Parker."

            Aunt May chuckled, "You can call me Aunt May."

            Samus raised an eyebrow and said questionably, "But… you're not my aunt?"

            Aunt May blinked in surprise.

            Peter placed his hand on Samus' back, "Samus is from out of town so she's not familiar with our customs."

            Peter then turned to Norman, "This is Norman Osborn, Harry's dad."

            Samus took the older man's hand and firmly shook hands with him.

            "My! You have quite a strong grip for someone so slender and beautiful." Norman smiled, barring his teeth.

            Samus blushed red, "Gee, seems that all three of you guys are the flatterer type."

            Norman chuckled, "Quite an attractive young lady that you have here, Parker, and has a funny bone as well." He quickly glanced at Peter and returned his gaze to Samus.

            Samus looked down at Norman's hand that still firmly gripped her hand.

            Norman looked down and quickly released her hand and spoke in a apologetic tone, "Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that we were still shaking hands."

            Samus thought, Everyone in this apartment is a comedian… quite amusing.

            Aunt May turned away and announced, "Let's all begin dinner now that we're all here!"

            Everyone shuffled into the dining room.

            Peter pulled out a chair for Samus and turned his head to see Harry doing the same for Mary Jane.

            Peter sat down beside Samus and turned his head to smile at her to realize that she was feeling nervous. He placed his hand on hers and bent toward her ear to whisper, "Don't worry. You'll be all right. They're all nice people."

            "That's what I'm afraid of." Samus muttered softly.

            Samus turned her head to watch as Norman placed his finger in a dish and Aunt May reached over to slap his hand away.

            "Norman.. will you do the honors of saying grace?" Aunt May asked in a serious tone.

            Norman smiled and picked up two sharp knives to clash them together.

            Samus blinked in confusion as everyone lowered their heads and put their hands together. Umm.. okay.. What's going on?

            Norman said aloud a prayer and everyone said the word grace after he finished.

            Aunt May sat down and turned her attention back to Samus. "So, my dear, since you're part of the family now, I think we should know more about you."

            Samus blinked and turned her head to Peter looking for help.

            Peter smiled and whispered, "She's asking where you come from and if there are things that you want us to know."

            Samus gulped, Oh great.. just my luck.. I can't tell them I'm from outer space! They'd think I was crazy!… Oh wait. There was someone from this planet that lives on Galactic HQ. I think he said he was from Australia or something… since it's the only place that I know of about Earth, I might as well use it.

            "I'm from Australia." Samus spoke softly.

            Aunt May, Harry, Mary Jane, and Norman all made puzzled looks.

            Norman was the first to ask, "If you're from Australia, then how come you don't speak with the accent? You speak English so fluently and no hint of an accent at all! It amazes me! The people I bumped into, that were from Australia, had the outback accent."

            Oh shit… I need to make up an excuse now. Samus thought and then replied, "I just didn't grow up around people that spoke with an accent." Well, least that part is true.

            Mary Jane asked in her kind voice, "What is Australia like? Did you see a lot of kangaroos where you lived?"

            Great… Now I got myself into further shit. Samus thought angrily ..and what the hell is a kangaroo?

            Peter stared at Samus and thought, She looks really nervous about something. I wonder why.

            Harry spoke up, "Hey, did you all hear about that alien space ship?"

            Everyone's attention turned to Harry and Samus silently thanked him for saving the day.

            Mary Jane nodded, "Yeah, I read something about it in the newspaper." She turned her head to Norman to ask, "Weren't you the one who found it, Mr. Osborn?"

            Norman nodded, "Yeah.. but that's classified information.. but I could still let on little secrets I guess." He smiled.

            Samus' eyes grew wide and thought with surprise, What! This is the man that took my starship?! He better not have done anything to it!

            Norman spoke, "My colleagues found very unusual things about it. The structure of it is quite remarkable… The material that it's made of isn't even found here on Earth!"

            That's because it isn't from Earth. Samus thought in annoyance.

            "Even the technology of its computers is fantastic! Never have I seen such advancements far greater than that of Oscorp! And the computer itself seemed like it had a brain of its own!"

            That's because it does-.. Wait?! Did Adam say something to… I'm going to beat the living circuits out of him! Samus thought in rage.

            She blurted out, "Did the computer talk to you?"

            Everyone's attention went back to her.

            Norman nodded, "Uh, yes."

            "What did it say?" Samus almost gave out the hint of desperation in her voice.

            "It said hello and it had a little friendly conversation with me and the small group of scientists that were in the ship. The computer told us its name was Adam.. Then I asked if there was a life form that steered the ship and then it went silent."

            "Did it say anything else?" Samus tried to show curiosity in her voice.

            Norman smiled and answered, "Yes. It told us how his mind was put into a computer after his body was killed and told us about a place out in space called Galactic Federation."

            Adam, you are going to die a second time, but this time, by me! Samus though in irritation.

            Aunt May spoke up, "We can talk while we eat. We can't let this food go cold now!"

            Norman smiled and sliced into the large turkey that had been placed in front of him at the beginning of the feast.

            Aunt May looked over at Peter and exclaimed in shock, "Oh, Peter, you're bleeding!"

            Norman turned his head to Peter and saw Aunt May walk around to lift up Peter's sleeve to reveal a long cut that was obviously cut by a razor.

            Peter shrugged, "Oh, I just got nicked by a paperboy on his bike when I was coming back here."

            Aunt May raced toward the kitchen, "I'll get the first aid-kit."

            Norman stared at the fresh wound and slowly asked, "H-how did you say that happened?" He slowly raised his gaze into Peter's eyes.

            Peter replied softly, "Paperboy nicked me."

            Norman set down the knives and quickly rose up from his seat to head for the door.

            Samus looked at Peter and down at his cut.

            Harry stood up and raced after his father out into the hallway.

            Samus ignored Harry's and Norman's conversation as she whispered to Peter, "That's not a nick.. that was form a razor."

            Peter suddenly turned his head to stare at Samus in shock.

            Samus looked into his eyes and smiled, "I can tell the difference."

            Peter and Samus both turned their heads as Norman proclaimed form the hall, "They're all beautiful until they come snarling after your money… my advice is to do whatever you want with her and then broom her!" Then the sound of the elevator doors slammed shut.

            Samus whispered softly, "That was strange."

            Mary Jane stood up as Harry came into the room.

            "Thanks for sticking up for me, Harry!" Mary Jane stormed toward the door and turned to Aunt May, "Thanks for having me over, Mrs. Parker." She then left, slamming the door behind her.

            Samus looked at Peter, but said nothing as she realized his sadness.
