DC57: Three chapters in one day! WOOT! Better get some good reviews for
this guys!
Flying had calmed Ursula down quite considerably. She felt the anger slip into enjoyment of the breeze underneath her leathery wings. Ursula allowed herself to relax a little. Steering came naturally.
Ursula would've liked to return home completely, but she knew she couldn't. There was a room vacant at her father's boarding house that the original key was lost and the spare dropped into a crack in the floor in the room. Ursula knew because she dropped it. The window lock was faulty as well. So she could get in and out through the window.
A succulent smell rose up from deep below the city. It caused her to salivate. She realized she hadn't eaten since yesterday. Even though it wasn't a delicious steak or a honey-baked ham, it was food nonetheless. It was a fresh baked pizza. Meat lover's. The delivery person as well left it on his bike in a dark alley. She couldn't refuse. She needed some type of sustenance.
Ursula swooped down in the alleyway and clawed the restraints off. She opened the box and ate the pizza in about four giant bites. It would do at least until tomorrow morning.
She found no way to get back up on to the roof to take off again. She looked down at her claws and decided to try something. Ursula stuck her hand into the brick and mortar. It was firm and it would hold her. She made her way back up on to the roof of the building and took off again.
Ursula flew slowly for a while. She was satisfied.
"You owe $14.65 for that pizza!"
The voice startled Ursula. She turned around. There, in the red and blue tights, was Spider-Man swinging right after her.
Ursula panicked and pointed downwards and crashed into a shed built on top of a building.
"I don't understand how you could have gotten in that alley with your hang glider." He landed next to the rubble.
Ursula groaned and rubbed her head.
Spider-Man got a closer look at her. "And you're no hang glider. ...What are you?"
Ursula surprised again jumped out of the pile and landed on the roof on all fours. She wasn't going to attack, but going to run if he did anything.
"Apparently, wrong question." Spider-Man corrected himself when he saw her human qualities. "Who are you?"
"I....I..." Ursula tried to speak but couldn't find a suitable answer. She looked away.
Spider-Man seated himself on the roof ledge. Despite her size, she couldn't have been much older than himself.
"What happened?" He asked gently. It was obvious that the girl had been through a lot but was curious himself.
Ursula continued to look away. Perhaps he could help her, she thought. Maybe he would have a way to cure her or knew someone that could. Someone besides Doctor Connors.
"...Experiment." She said finally.
"What?" Spider-Man was caught off guard.
"It was an experiment. I participated in." She said again. She looked at him.
"What was it for?" Spider-Man asked.
"Something about revolutionizing human health procedures or something. He didn't say a whole lot. I shouldn't have done it." Ursula explained.
Spider-Man was caught off-guard by the talking lizard's intelligence. "Were you human?"
Ursula nodded.
"Who offered this to you?" Spider-Man asked sternly. He would make whoever did this to a human girl pay.
"...Doctor Connors." Ursula replied. She felt bad about revealing him.
Spider-Man was shocked. His long time professor/friend did this? To a human? It couldn't be true.
"He made me an offer. I was failing his class so terribly. I did all the extra credit and the homework on top of that. But I just couldn't pass. He offered to pass me if I accepted to participate in the experiment." Ursula explained. "I guess just passing isn't important now."
Ursula stood up. She was ready to take off. Her body felt very tired.
"But wait! Who are you?" Spider-Man asked one more time. Ursula shrugged. "I guess...nobody now. I'm sure we'll meet again Spider- Man. But must go now." She took off.
Spider-Man let her go. The sun was rising. He wouldn't have time to stop her and get back to his normal life. But he knew he wouldn't stop thinking about her and Doctor Connors.
DC57: Yup, the infamous Spidy makes it to the scene! Woot! What plot twists are turning in my mind...? HA! Gotta read an find out. And keep the reviews coming too! That always helps. (
