Slickboy444: Yeah Peter needs a break from all the crap that has happened to him. Yeah tension is growing, as for Clark he had to let her grow up on her own, even though he might not like it.
Jezrianna: To be honest I didn't like that first scene either and I couldn't figure out how to make it better. As for their rivalry I'm thinking more of a friendly one.
Lennox: Kon-el doesn't exist in the JLU cartoon, interesting idea for Blackfire though, and I think you'll like the team Doc Ock will bring with him.
Dr. Evans: I'll only update when I can, I can't force myself to just write it up and I got other fics and things to do so live with it, I do try but things just don't always work out the way you want them to.
The Uncanny R-Man: Well I'll try my best with the titans when/if I get to it and yes the triangle begins.
Chilean Rose: Yeah he is, and years of girls looking the other way can have that effect on guys. Clark is just a bit protective since she's the only other person like him and I think he's got a 'bit brother' complex when it comes to her.
WDCain: Powergirl will show up later, I never played that game and I'm not familiar with that character enough in order to write him. I do think about what people want before I do it, some ideas I find nice but others aren't workable.
Corvus no Ankoku the RyuKaiser: Nice idea but Peter ends up with one of the girls before this fic is done.
Sean Malloy-1: Nice joke, I may try that, classes will be some time off (maybe in a sequel) Doc Ock is still some time away.
X-Over: You read my mind with the clone bit and you'll see what Doc Ock is up to later.
Jackster: I thought about having all three together but I'm not sure I mean does Peter seem the guy to actually go for that? Well I'll toy around with a few ideas and keep people guessing. Although if it did it might be a bit strange for the other Leaguers.
Multifan: Customizing it and actually getting it to work are two different things. Peter will learn how he got there later on, and if he goes back since he and the X-Men aren't close I doubt it, besides someone has to stay and fight for the future of mutants.
And thanks to everyone else as well, yeah I know I normally put down the names of all that review but it's close to thirty names so to free up space I'll respond to those that actually have something to say or ask and I'm going to have to just put a general thank you from now on, hope you don't mind this.
JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SPIDER
CHAPTER 18: SISTERHOOD
After a few days things were going alone fine for Peter. Having Kara around was nice, he had someone to talk to all the time now and his new home didn't feel so empty and alone anymore. He had a lot of fun with her also and the fact of having someone with him in his life that new his identity was really nice. He didn't have to lie all the time and could just be himself. To be honest it felt great to have her there.
Plus they had spent one of those days, when he had that day off, and just spent it showing her around New York since she had done the same for him in Metropolis.
Currently they were both in and elevator with that god-awful music that should be outlawed but was in all elevators was playing. Kara was in jeans and a conservative shirt on but also had on fake glasses and had her hair in a ponytail. He had asked her when he saw her why the look and she explained that she couldn't just walk around without changing her looks.
He then asked why not the brown wig and she had made this kind of cute cringe and had said she hated that thing, because it always itched. She said that with the different clothing, hair and glasses no one would notice. Especially how in her uniform people (mainly man and a few women) didn't exactly look at her face. Peter kind of blushed at bit at that, he had to admit the tight T-shirt and skirt did bring the eye from the face. He also had to admit that looking at her now in the elevator she did look different.
She had asked him to see if he could get her a job at the paper, since she did work at the Planet she hoped she could get a job there, plus having a person working there would help too in her favor with getting her foot in the door. They got off at the right floor and walked into the large, open and always busy office floor.
Peter led Kara though the others working there, waving to a few of them that he knew. Then came to the desk where Betty was working she looked over at Peter and smiled seeing him with the cute blond girl and tried to hide a smirk on her face. "Hey Pete, who's your girlfriend?" She smiled then seeing a blush form on both young adults.
"S-s-she's not my girlfriend…she's just a really close friend…who just happens to be a girl…will you stop smiling like that." Peter gave a small glare at her and it just caused her to laugh, she though he looked too cute being embarrassed and looking at her like that at the same time. "Look I just need to see JJ and ask him if Kara here can have a job here."
Betty sobered up a bit and looked at her. "You got any experience?"
Kara smiled at her. "Yeah I worked at the Daily Planet now and then when I was visiting my cousin Clark."
Betty nodded her head and used the intercom to see if the boss was free and then led them in. Kara had to admit Peter describe this JJ on the money. Nice clothing and the white hair in a ponytail and beard gave him a yuppie businessman look but had a calm demeanor. "So you're looking for a job huh? You got any references, other then Peter here?"
"Yeah, call Perry White the Editor of the Daily Planet or you can call my cousin Clark Cent or Lois Lane." Kara tried to keep up the innocent girl act and tone down on her confidence but it was hard seeing the look on his face at those names.
He leaned forward and narrowed his eyes for a bit. "You really know those people?" He asked her and he had to admit he knew Perry from University since they were both taking a journalism course and had met now and then. Although to be fair it had been awhile since they last met. And of course anyone who considered themselves a serious person in the field of news, knew certain names and Lois and Clark were a well-known team and as individuals, although the fact she was related to one of them didn't impress him, anyone could know someone and it was the opinions of those people that would matter.
He leaned back in his chair and regarded her. "Alright, tell you what. I'll call Perry White and ask around, but I'm not promising anything and even if you get great recommendations I might not have a place for you here…but tell you what. Since you're a friend of one of my best up and coming photographers and I don't want to lose him," He smirked a little showing that last bit was more of a joke. "I'll see what I can do."
Kara smiled brightly. "Oh thank you! Even if I don't get a job here thanks for everything," She turned to Peter and nodded. "Thanks Peter, I guess I'll see you later at home then."
When she left JJ had stared at her for a moment. 'See you at home?' He thought to himself and looked to Peter. "You two live together?" He asked Peter and he scratched the back of his head and nodded. "Well I just hope you two can keep a professional relationship as well as your romantic one aside."
"W-w-what! Sir, JJ, it's not like that, we're just friends, honest." Peter said and held up his hands. He just couldn't understand why everyone seemed to think they were a couple. Yeah they were two friends that lived together…alone…just the two of them…okay bad example, he thought to himself. As Peter left after JJ gave him a new assignment he older man just shook his head.
Kids today, in his day when a man and a woman living together usually meant that they were a couple…unless one of both were gay, he didn't have a problem with that, hell it was a new century after all. Well it was either that or both of them were just good friends…or were leading up to something more. He shook his head again, ah to be young again; he looked over at a photo of his wife. They had been great friends in collage then just one-day things evolved between them and he was never happier for it.
He wished the two of them the same luck he had.
-Later in the Afternoon-
In an office tower in Manhattan a Lex Corp building stood, it was a high rise with offices but also had several research and development floors. In one of them there was a bio lab, they did many different things there, from trying to make new bacteria and germs to be used in industries and in certain products. One of the labs was working on with electromagnetic technologies as well. In the lab areas scientists were working as usual, nothing too exciting was going on and all was quiet. Just another day at Lex Corp and everyone was just doing their job.
There was a rumbling sound, at first it wasn't noticeable with all the soundproofing and the density between rooms but a few people started to notice glass shaking in certain areas. Then one of the walls blew in with a strange purple glowing energy with it. There was smoke, and alarms going off everywhere as people panicked and ran to the closest exit. Security guards that were stationed close by to all the labs as a precaution ran into the room. So far the closest guards were only five of them as they rushed in and helped everyone out as the dust settled.
They started to move out guns drawn since they were on the fiftieth floor they figured these weren't your normal common criminals. One of the guards was suddenly hit in the chest by a purple beam of energy, another had an Asian woman in black and red with a sword and some kind of red visor on her face leap out of nowhere and with her bare hands disarmed him and took him down in a few quick series of combos.
One of the other aimed his gun at the Asian woman but a roar from some kind of giant cat was heard and he turned his head to see another woman only this one was all covering in fur and looked like a cross between a woman and a cheetah. She punched him in the face with such force his nose broke and was knocked out.
The two remaining men stood and knew they didn't have a change, one of them told his buddy to run for help and he didn't have to be told twice, he wasn't being paid enough for that anyway. When the remaining one looked back he saw a beautiful blond woman in white step forward. "Hold it right there or I'll shoot!" He said aiming his gun trying to keep a steady hand. She didn't seem to be afraid in fact she looked like she held him in contempt.
She kept walking forward and he took a step back still warning her, at one point he couldn't wait and fired several shots. But the blond held up her wrist with gold bracelets and deflected all the shots while still walking forward. When she was close enough she ripped the gun from his hands and crushed it and then with a right hook knocked him out. She looked down at him with a glare. "Male weakling."
The last member of the group landed, she was all dressed in black and purple with a jewel on the forehead of her costume. She had long black hair and a British accent. She was Star Sapphire, "Well luv you really handed it to that Old Bill wannabe."
The others gathered around, the cat woman was Cheetah, once a respected scientist named Barbara Ann Minerva, who had to experiment on herself and turned her into what she was today. She had to turn to a life of crime in order to get the funds she needed to turn herself back. The Asian woman in the red and black with short dark hair was Tsukuri a warrior for hire. They all faced their leader the once thought dead Aresia, former Amazon who once tried to kill all the men on Earth with a virus. Their leader looked at the three women she had gathered, "Find what we came for and hurry I don't want to stay here anymore then necessary."
"Well ain't she just a say of bloody sunshine." Star Sapphire muttered under her breath.
Aresia had indeed survived the fall in the ocean when her fellow sister Diana had stopped her plans. She had been lucky and had been picked up floating in the ocean, after she came two she had found a quiet place to recover and plan. She wanted to stay under the radar until she was ready and now she was. She had a new plan and it had taken time to find what she would need, and it was pure luck two of the key and final parts she needed were here.
A few blocks away Peter now as Spider-Man was swinging over the city streets. He had to admit that this place was starting to feel more and more like New York at times. Although there were a few places he avoided like the plague. Mainly where he, and MJ had used to live, his high school area and other more familiar places. Those just brought up too much pain thinking about all he lost. Truth was even though he had a pretty good life here, he would give it all up to have them all back in his life.
He sighed to himself, it was pointless to think on that and pushed them from his mind. He was doing just a routine swing thought the city when he heard sirens and saw a fire truck with police cars heading off to the east. "Well looks like something's up." Peter said to himself and made his way in that direction. He soon saw a bit hole in the side of a building and knew he found the trouble unless they were making giant holes in building nowadays.
He swung in through the hole and saw the mess and a few guards tied up in a corner. He started to move when his spider-sense kicked in and he jumped as a purple beam came at him from behind and nearly hit him. He stuck to the ceiling and looked behind him. "Bloody hell, quick little bugger ain't you?" Star Sapphire said floating from a large open doorway.
"Oh let me guess…Star Sapphire right? I heard about you, kind of an evil female Green Lantern type of villain," Spider-Man said pointing at her seemingly unimpressed, he had heard the stories and read her bio a while back.
Her face scowled a bit, "I like to think myself more of an original and please don't refer to me in the same breath as a Green Lantern," She fired several beams of energy and he quickly dodged them and fired his webbing at her eyes blinding her for a moment, "What the hell is this stuff!" She cried out trying to rip it off and Peter took the advantage of this and leapt at her kicking her towards the door.
At that moment Tsukuri and Cheetah walked out. Tsukuri had a case with her that had a biohazard sign on it and knelt down to help Sapphire. Cheetah let out an animal roar and leaped at Spider-Man. "Great, "I'm fighting one of the Thundercats now." He quipped as he dodged her attack but she was quick and fast, luckily he was a bit quicker and faster and just managed to keep just out of her reach with his jumps and leaps.
"I heard there New York had a new hero, figured that we would run into him," She said and tried to rake her claws against his chest, but he grabbed her wrist. He fell back and planted both feet onto her stomach and flipped her over his head.
She landed with her back against a computer server and hit the ground. "Damn and I thought all cats landed on their feet…oh well." Spider-sense kicked in and he jumped just in time to avoid a dagger just missing his back. He saw the Japanese woman ready a sword and saw Star Sapphire cutting off the webs with a knife, most likely thanks to her teammate. He knew he didn't have long until she cut enough of the webbing off to see and then he would have an extremely pissed off villain on his hands.
He bent backwards dodging a vertical arc of the katana it had been so close that he could feel the wind of the blade even through his costume. He righted back up and had to jump onto the ceiling to avoid a reversal of the blade. He tried his webbing but she was too fast and either dodged them or used her extremely sharp sword to slice it up.
"Damn it, what do I have to-WHOA!" Peter just jumped off as a blast from Star Sapphire hit the spot on the ceiling he had been on. He looked over as saw his webbing still covering one of her eyes. Well Peter figured at least she had no depth perception like that so her attacks would be off as long as he wasn't too close. He ducked as that sword nearly took his head off, he backhanded Tsukuri and did a back flip to avoid another energy blast but while in mid hair something hard hit his side.
A console had been thrown at him and slammed him through a wall, luckily it hadn't been that thick but it still hurt. He coughed a few times, seeing stars from the impact, not to mention his side hurt like hell and his back. He shook his head trying to clear that annoying buzzing sound but he didn't realize that had been his spider-sense and not something from the injury. It was too late though as what felt like a sledgehammer hit him in the ribs. He was up in the air again but this time shot out a web line and managed to land himself on the ground.
Only he kind of half landed, half fell to the ground and looked at an yet another female villain only a very attractive blond that kind of reminded him of Diana for some reason. "Let me guess…a super villain team of the Valkyries?" He asked her.
"I am Aresia, and this is my Sisterhood, and you must be one of the so called male protectors of this city." Peter didn't like her tone and he obviously was pissed about something. "You will not stop be from returning this world to its former state and then maybe there will be a sense of sanity in this world."
"Look Xena or whoever you are, I don't know what you're talking about but I can guess it's not good," Peter managed to say while struggling to stand. "So whatever it is you took or are trying to take, why don't you just put it back and we can avoid all the unpleasantness."
Aresia narrowed her eyes. "Do you mock me?"
"Lady…of course I mock you, it's what I do, well that…and this!" Peter fired both web shooters at her but she was quick and used her bracelets to block the attack, just like he had seen Diana many times before and now he really wondered if there was some kind of connection, but he shouldn't have let his mind wonder because she grabbed the webbing and yanked him forward. He was pulled off his feet and was met with a fist from the furious blond right tin the jaw.
Peter slammed into an equipment table denting it and most likely his back if what he was feeling was an indication. He was also blacking out and he tried to fight it but it was too powerful. His opponent looked down at him and then back to the others, "We need to get everything back to the river now and set everything up."
After that Peter blacked out completely and slumped to the floor. The other women gather up what they came for. Aresia picked up a machine several feet long with a sphere in the center of it and lots of wires.
Tsukuri picked up the biohazard case she had dropped earlier while Star Sapphire woke up Cheetah. "How the bloody hell do I get this stuff off my face?" She grumbled still trying to pull off the remaining webbing.
"Forget about it, we can deal with that later," Aresia said to her, "Just get us out of here."
Star Sapphire concentrated and made a sphere of purple energy encompassing them all and floated them all out of the hole in the wall. There was a police helicopter outside and she smiled to herself and fired, it took a few tries thanks to her one eye covered but she nicked the back rotor sending it falling to the ground. They all few off into the distance as the helicopter pilot tried to make an emergency landing.
It was hard and he wasn't sure if he could do it then all of a sudden it just stopped in mid air. He and his co-pilot just looked at each other as it seemed to just float down to the ground then he heard a knocking on the window. His eyes widened at the sight of Supergirl outside. "Hey did I miss something?" She asked them.
She had been flying around the city just doing her thing when her ears had picked up trouble over here. She had seen the helicopter going out of control and had grabbed it and set it down just in time. She was about to go off after the villains when she over heard the police band in the helicopter. There was something about a report of someone seeing Spider-Man enter the building. She looked around but didn't see him and frowned. She got a bad feeling about this and flew up to check on him.
NEXT UP CHAPER 19 SISTERHOOD PART 2
I'll try and made the next chapter sooner, but please keep in mind I'm very busy at times and have other fics too.
