Spider-man, his costume all dusty from the battle with Shocker, swung through the city, unsure of what had transpired tonight. What were the chances that there was another person, in this case, a woman, having been given the same kind of gift as he had? For the past year, he alone had kept this town safe, and at times he felt isolated and alone. Now, there was another hero in town, and he did not know how he felt. Who was she really? Was she really here to be a hero, or did she have something else up her sleeve. He was going to have to keep an eye on her.
Following Closely behind Spider-Man, the Black Cat used her super strength to leap from building. She stayed far enough away so not to draw his attention, and his superhuman ability to sense immediate danger. She watched as Spider-man let go of his web line and landed on his balcony. Spider-Man opened the large windows and jumped into the room. The Black Cat grinned as she hopped onto the roof of the penthouse. The windows closed and The Black Cat jumped and gently landed on the small balcony. She squinted looking through the Window. Inside, Spider-Man was cleaning his room a little until at last, he did what she wanted to see.
He reached for his mask, at the neck and pulled his mask off. The Black Cat's eyes showed her surprise. The secret identity of Spider-Man was the last person she though it would be. It was none other than they shy kid, Peter Parker. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Peter, from the corner of his eye, though he saw something out the window. He quickly turned around and walked to the window and open the windows. He saw nothing out of the ordinary. With a shrug, he closed the windows again and went in.

The bell had just rung and Peter began to pack up his books. Felicia, with her books already in her book bag, walked up to Peter's desk. "Hi Peter!"
"Oh, hi Felicia!" Peter smiled. "How are you?"
"I'm doing good. So, do anything exciting last night?"
"Nothing really exciting: sat home, watch television. Ate dinner, and went to bed."
"Really? Peter Parker, you need some excitement in your life. You need more of social life. So how about it, how about you and I get something to eat tonight, and get to know each other a little more."
This was truly unexpected. He was not used to be the one receiving the question to go out on a date. He also never thought about dating anyone but Mary Jane. He knew he shouldn't get involved in anyone, because of his life as Spider-Man. "Yes, It sounds great, but as a friend. I really am not interested in anything more at this time."
"As friends then," Felicia conceded. She was determined to ware him down, and win his heart over. She could guess at why he was afraid to go into any relationship, she was sure that after he got to know her, and after she told him her little secret, he would open himself up and fall in love with her. "How about tonight at seven at the Moondance Café?"
Peter knew that Mary Jane worked there, so he knew that it would not go well eating there. "How about the local McDonalds!"
"McDonalds it is then! I'll see you tonight, sport!" Felicia waved her hand seductively and walked off.
At that moment, Peter wish he could kill himself for saying yes. He was asking for trouble, especially if Mary Jane saw them eating dinner together. "Ok Peter, pull yourself together, it's just a friendly dinner. It's not a date." What he said sounded more like he was convincing himself of that fact rather than making a statement.
Peter finished packing up his book bag and exited out of the lecture hall. The hallway was full of students walking to their next class, and some just standing around talking to other students. On his left, the bright sun shown in through the windows, bringing a clear crisp view of the fountain and the courtyard. Suddenly, his spider-senses warned of him danger, "What the…" Peter was confused at what danger could possibly be alerting his spider-senses. A massive explosion sent Peter crashing into the wall. Peter wife his face, and the blood coming from his busted lip. After the smoke died down someone wearing a green costume, very much like that of the Green Goblin.
At first Peter swore that it was the Green Goblin back from the dead, but when the dust cleared, it was another enemy. The only skin visible was his face. The rest was covered by the green costume. He even had a long tail with a stinger at the end. He laughed at the devastation. "Hello all you brilliant young men and women! I'm Scorpion, and you all are my ticket to finding Spider-Man!"
