Chapter 9

"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na." May sang to herself as she poured a bowl of corn flakes into a bowl. "If I was a rich girl (na, na na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)" she poured the milk and didn't see her father in the door way of his room, watching as she sang in the kitchen to the radio, in nothing but her pink undies and light blue shirt, with a great big love heart on it. "See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl." She sat down and stretched her arms out like a kitten. "Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town."

She ate a spoonful, before singing to her spoon like it was a microphone. "All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know." she gobbled some more of her breakfast, and then jumped up onto the table, crouched in her spider pose, her arms up in the air, her eyes closed and a huge smile on her face. "If I was rich girl (na, na na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl." She jumped up and started dancing…on the ceiling. Peter watched this from the counter, leaning against it and raising a brow at her, smiling all the while. He did after all have his black sabeth moments…

"Nice moves." He chuckled as she yelped and fell down to the floor. She landed on all fours, low to the floor like a true Spider hero. "But I don't think that will do much in the way of getting the bag guy to give up without a fight. Or perhaps a break dance."

"Oh har har. You shouldn't sneak up on me anyway."

"If I was a threat, your spidersense would have gone off, right?"

"But you are not a threat, old man." She smirked evilly and raised her bowl to her lips. She downed it all, and smiled to him with a milk moustache. "And I am going to be late for school if I don't get ready."

"Indeed. Good thing this is the last week before the summer holidays, and you don't have any exams to miss."

"Oh…then could I please?" she put her hands together and made her best innocent face. "I already took my final exams years before hand and got A on them all, so I can miss another week and I really feel like getting the costume on and going to help."

"You want to patrol?"

"Yep."

"Very well. You have 5 minutes to get changed and into costume. You will need to practice quick costume changing technique as it is. Your time starts, now." Peter chuckled as May bolted to her room. he looked to her watch, and timed her. May came back in, panting and completely in Spidy costume, with her SBP in her hands. "Good. only 3 minutes. And how are your web shooters?"

"I need a reload."

"Takes these. I will be teaching you how to mix the chemical later today. Then I want you to manage your own supply, alright?"

"I will, promise." May held onto the table as she got her breath. "Er, where's your costume?"

"I will get dressed while you do your first task. I have placed three items in the city. All three have homing beacons on them, and you can use this tracer to find them. You have three, and I will be timing how long it takes for you to find them." he tossed the good old, yellow spider tracker, and May opened the skylight. "I will time you from the first moment you step out the skylight. Come back here and hit this clock when you have done. Ok?"

"Right." she made a note that the large black clock was now on the kitchen table. She grabbed the edges of the oo, took a deep breath and nodded to her dad. He slammed the timer, and she bolted onto the roof. May ran to the edge and dived off, shooting off to swing from a close building, and forcefully yanked on the web, to propel herself forward. With her free hand, she glanced down at the radar. It showed the closest one near a large river. The Hudson. She thought, and clipped the radar to her SBP near her arm. She webbed and yanked herself between buildings and soared through the air. She did a number of summersaults and landed on the Brooklyn Bridge. She looked at her radar from the top pillar, where she had eaten her lunch in the past, and looked around. She didn't know what she was looking for, but it was close to water level if this radar was right. so she dived right down, about to web out, when.

"OOwwf!"

"Gotcha." She turned around, about to scold Venom for catching her, when she looked up into blue eyes and a ridged chin.

"Electro, I am a little busy right now."

"With what? About to take a swim are we?"

"No, I am on a mission."

"Set by?"

"My father." she said and squirmed. She thought he would laugh at her, but.

"Then I will help you. What is your objective?" May looked to him for a while, and sighed.

"I have to collect three beacons and I am being timed. I have this radar to help me, and one of them is near the Hudson water level."

"I suggest we go near the lower levels of the bridge scaffolding then." She flown with her in his arms, and outlined with a pulsing yellow aura. He hovered a little up from the water and started to look around. But May saw it first.

"There!" she webbed out and swung out of his arms. She landed upside down underneath the bridge, and found a small white and silver spider tracer. "So this is what it looks like. Right." she put the first one in her SBP pocket, and looked to the tracer. Electro hovered next to her, with his game face on.

"Where is the next one?"

"Somewhere high up. Near the centre of Manhattan Island."

"Is it near a communications tower?"

"Yes actually."

"Then I know where it is. The new, highest point in America. Dillon industries." He scooped her into his arms, and with a jolt of lightning, sped off towards 'their' goal. But May pushed against him and jumped away onto a building. She looked at her radar, and then webbed out. She swung as fast as she ever had, and Electro flew next to her. "Why did you push away from me?"

"This is my task and I shouldn't be asking you for help."

"But I offered it."

"But it is cheating. And I will never get better if I use other people to do my dirty work."

"I don't mind you using me." he chuckled, and May gulped. Oh great, forgot about his intimate feelings towards me. Ok, yeah they were shared. But not anymore, I'm Venom's girlfriend now. She sighed and swung around a large spire, and landed on a glass building. It wasn't made of glass, but looked it towards the top. She started scaling and Electro continued to fly next to her. But now he flew like he was back swimming, as if this was easy. "You know, it would be a lot faster if I helped you."

"I know."

"So…"

"Not happening." She webbed out."

"Are you giving me the slip, my Spider Enchantress?" she blushed at that and was so glad that Venom wasn't here. He would probably kill him.

"I happen to have a target and nothing will stop me from fulfilling it. But if you want to follow me, I might let you."

"If it isn't too much bother." He chuckled.

"But once I have all three of them, you can't follow me."

"Alright. I understand." She twisted in the air, and made a sharp turn. Electro was very impressed, and flew underneath her. "I do appreciate the whole 'head quarters' secrecy. I will no follow you. I just haven't seen your around recently." He pouted. "I missed you."

"You missed me like a rash more like." She chuckled. "I always leave you in the end." She landed on the spire of Dillon industries, and pulled a spider tracer from inside the com dish. "What is this place for anyway."

"A billionaire owns it." Electro smirked behind her as she looked over her radar again. "A rich, charming, young business man with lots of ambition."

"You sound like his image consultant."

"I don't know him personally…but I have seen him. He does a lot for other companies, getting them started. And I guess he is into that charity lark too."

"He gives to charities?" she smiled at him. "I thought he sounded like a corporate, baby billionaire boy with too much money…but if he gives to charity…"

"Oh he does. He is giving a speech soon about their involvement in lowering global warming, and a discovery of his. I don't know what that is though of course…"

"He sounds…noble." She nodded, and looked to the radar. "The next one is…oh no."

"What?"

"The next one is on the statue of freaking liberty! How the hell did he get it out there?"

"No idea, as I still don't know who you are talking about, but…I can help this time."

"No, I am doing this off my own steam." She looked around, and jumped down onto the roof.

"Nope, I have to insist." He ran at her, wrapped his arms around her waist, held her tight and blasted off.

"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!" she struggled in vain as he started off towards the famous welcoming statue…when.

"Let me go! Please! I haven't got anything you could want." May heard a girl crying with her enhanced hearing.

"Electro stop." She placed a hand on his shoulder, and he stopped.

"I thought you were on the clock? If we stop now then-" she covered his mouth with her hands, and listened hard.

"Please, please don't do this…please…" she looked down and her vision seemed to focus on a back ally. A girl about her age, wearing baggy jeans and a skin tight white bunny shirt, was cowering against the wall of the dead end.

"I need to help her." May struggled so much; she fell from his grip and landed silently, after spinning in the air, on her hands and feet on the roof ledge. She over looked as four men, dressed in scruffy jeans and leather jackets, glasses and punk hair styles, stalked towards her.

"What was that all…about…" Electro landed practically seconds after May did, and looked to the scene below them. she heard May say one word, as she was transfixed on the girl in the fray.

"Jen…" May stood, her fists clenched and her head hung forward. Electro placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

"I will be right back." She said coldly, and stepped off the ledge.

Jenny had been walking home from the movies with her sister, when a bunch of guys started to follow them. Worried, Jen called a taxi and sent her sister with her friends him. But there wasn't room for her to join them, so she made sure they would get home alright. She could manage herself, right?

So she walked on home, pulling her big coat around her as it was windy, and cold. She panicked when the men who were following her and her sister before, surrounded her and backed her into a corner. They licked their lips at her and told her what a thick ass she had, and how gentle they promised they wouldn't be. Jen was terrified and felt the cold wall behind her, and wept. She knew this was it, she was going to be raped.

She closed her eyes and sniffled.

She had pleaded with them to leave her alone, begged them. but they didn't listen and didn't care. So she whimpered against the wall, and flinched when she heard a thud in front of her.

"Now this is hardly fair, now is it? Four of you, against me." Jen looked up, and saw a very curvy, muscular but feminine woman in an all in one, skin tight, red and blue costume. There was a spider on her back, and she couldn't se the front. As the woman had her back to her. "I mean, you don't have a chance in hell, do you?"

"Listen lady, as much as I would like to play with you too, we want the one behind you."

"Aw, you hurt my feelings. I really wanted to play with you." Jen watched as the woman leaned with one hand on one hip, and beckoned the men forward. "I think we should get closer, so we can play."

"Hell yeah!" one of them ran forward, and Jen flinched. As he got within arm's reach, the beckoning hand clenched to a fist and clobbered him in the jaw. He snapped backwards and skidded a mile on the floor, taking one of the other out.

"Now let me teach you something." Jen pulled away from the wall and listened. "There are a few things I will not tolerate in this world. One of them are those little triangle things they stick in the middle of your pizza. They bug me and break all over it, mushing up the middle. And you get grease all over the box, so the pizza goes soggy." She flicked her wrist and webbed the two fallen, one of them still conscious, men to the floor. "Secondly, people who think that because they are in a group, that they can do as they bloody please. Hay, you in group, you can get away with anything right? Laughing, bullying, stealing, murder and rape. Now I can't really stop you from doing the first three, but the last three…" she shot out both arms, webbed at the necks of the remaining two men, and snapped them forward. Their heads snapped against the floor and they groaned in pain. "But the last three, I have a damn say in. You could say this is my Yard now. I patrol this area now, and will not tolerate this sort of thing. No girl, young or not, should have to be afraid, and have to look over their shoulder on their way home. No one should have to be forced to feel what that girl is feeling right now!" Jen saw the woman point to her, and felt not only a few tears fall down her face, but a soft smile trace her lips. This woman had come to save her. She was a hero. "Not on my watch! I will not let you or your kind do this to people, it isn't right!" Jen gasped as one of the men was lifted clear from the ground and smashed against the wall. "Does this make you feel good? Being held against a wall, about to go through a world of hurt, just because it entertains the person holding you? Because I sure as hell will enjoy beating your face until it looks like cookie dough. Not you will be able to look at yourself after I'm done with you, you bastard!" she punched him in the gut hard, and he started to cough up blood. "You, girl, run. Go home and never, walk home alone again. Understand?" Jen gasped when her rescuer addressed her.

"I, I will. Thank you. Thank you so much. How can I thank you? I don't have any money, but-"

"Smile."

"What!"

"Go home, hug your family, and tell them you love them. Smile at them. That is all I ask."

"Oh thank you!"

"No problem. I'm just your friendly neighbourhood Spidergirl." And Jen ran out the ally and all the way home.

"As for you, you fucking bastard." May had never been so livid. Her best friend had almost been raped, by this man. "You will regret very getting up this morning!" she threw him into the wall, and looked to the man, trying to escape. "Don't even think about it! I haven't done with you yet!" she webbed his back, yanked him backwards, leaned back, and kicked him hard in the back of his head. He fell to the floor, and she webbed him in place. May turned to the vomiting man, and saw blood come from his lips.

But she didn't care.

May nudged him onto his back, and then panted with rage. She stomped on his groin hard, and again, and again. She then kicked him in the ribs and was about to drop an elbow on his head, when two arms grabbed her from behind.

Electro saw the entire thing. At first he thought that she was just having a laugh, or like before, from the way she pulled a wise crack. But it soon turned ugly and he thought he better intervene. The last thing she wanted was to become as twisted and bind with rage as he saw her becoming. She was slowly turning herself to a lane of cold, viciousness that he would not let her. he liked her just the way she was, not like this. She was cruel, vicious and cold blooded in the way she was beating them, and he didn't completely know what made him step in, but he did. He landed behind her and hooked his arms under hers and lifted her off the ground.

"Ok, no more sugar for you."

"Let go of me. I'll kill him! I'll rip his BALLS off!"

"The scary thing is, right now, you probably would." He blasted off and headed for the Island of the Statue of Liberty. They landed on the crown, and he found the tracer for her. He put it in her back, and flew her back to the rooftop of a building near the Brooklyn Bridge. May had regressed into a shell, silent and very unnerving. Electro laid her on the roof, and she pulled her knees to her chest, sat up against the ledge. "How are you feeling? You really scared me back there you know."

"…I scared myself…"

"I can see that." he chuckled weakly. "Listen, I have a friend. He could certainly help you out if you needed someone to talk to. He has helped me out a lot, and always makes me feel better about myself, and smile."

"…who is he?"

"Erick, Erick Dillon."

"I wondered why you spoke so highly of him…" she looked over the building side.

"Well, he is in town and he could really help you." He sat next to her, and wrapped a comforting arm around her. "He is giving a talk soon. Day after tomorrow actually. He was supposed to give it a few days ago, but it got rearranged." More like my dad dragged me underground on one of his goose chases. "I have this card. If you show it to him, then he will know you are a friend of mine."

"I saw your pager. It had Dillon tech on it. he give it you?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah, he did." have to be more careful next time…didn't even think about that…

"I might…I need to go now…" she stood up, and tightened the straps of her bag.

"Man, you are taking this really personally. You pro-women's right then?" he chuckled. He got a punch in the arm, and rubbed it. "That hurt you know."

"Wuss." She chuckled under her breath. Oh she just wanted to go home and cry. Jen…

"Well, I am when it comes to you." He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. "Don't be a stranger. I can't survive not seeing you. You are the highlight of my week. So imagine how great I would feel if I saw you every day."

"I will try…you are a good friend." He blinked at that. but decided to leave it for now. She was obviously not feeling herself. But an innocent kiss couldn't hurt, right?

"Yeah, take care and I mean it. I want to see you soon." He kissed her cheek, and let her go. "See you around, my enchantress." And with that, he blasted off. May shuck her head. But she was glad she didn't have to explain her new relationship to him, and turned to her home.

"May, that took you over an hour. I am very disappointed in…May?" Peter was in his Spiderman costume and on the roof, when May landed and flopped into his arms.

"Oh daddy, daddy, it was Jen." May cried and Peter scooped her up into his arms.

"Shhhhhhh May day. Tell me all about it inside." He dropped through the skylight and laid her on the couch. He sat right next to her and held her head on his chest, coaxing her to clam down with loving words. "What happened? What did you say about Jen?"

"I, I was collecting the spider tracers and I saw her. She was about to be raped and I stepped in. It was horrible!" May whimpered and fisted her father's costume. He pulled his mask off, and then hers. He ran his hand through her hair, and his at the same time.

"Did you save her?"

"Yeah…I did…"

"Then there is nothing to worry about."

"But…I almost killed him…"

"What?" Peter lifted her chin and looked down at her, a concerned look on his face.

"I, oh daddy I lost my temper and I just wanted to kill him, feel him bleed and know that it was because of me, that I did it. I wanted such vengeance, I wasn't myself."

"I can second that. You and vengeance don't belong in the same sentence." He pulled her into a big hug. "You probably just got a little mad, that's all."

"No…no I could see it. I could see the things in my head that I was going to do to them, to the leader…I could smell their fear…taste their blood and hear it running through their veins, their hearts beating faster with every breath I took. I, I felt like an animal!"

"No, I just think you experienced something called rage, and anger. And added with a little Spider tainted adrenaline, made you act the way you did…did you kill anyone?"

"No…but I almost did." May curled up on her father's lap and sobbed softly as he stroked her head. He rested his chin on her head, and let his heart beat, beat in time with hers. They were silent, thinking deeply on the situation before Peter made a conclusion he didn't like.

"I…I think you inherited something more than my powers May." She took a few moments to register what he had just said.

"What?"

"I, I am in my own respect, a Spider. At mind and at times at heart too. And as I have feared…as are you."

"I don't understand." May looked up and rested her hands on his chest. Peter closed his eyes and pressed a finger at each side of his nose, pinching it like his brain was under stress.

"Well…let me use Wolverine, or Batman. Batman may not have super powers, but he is a bat in his own right. He is silent, has excellent reflexes, and can blend in with the shadows like it's his second home. He acts and feels like a bat, at times." When May simple knotted her eyebrows together in confusion, he sighed with exasperation. "Never mind. How about Wolverine? He has the…no wait he is super healing. No he won't do…the black cat or Cat woman! They have the enhancements of a cat, their senses and so on, and their powers. But they have more than that. They move, breathe, think, and feel like a cat. As I move, breathe, and feel like a spider. As do you."

"I know you are trying dad…but…" Peter sighed.

"You are a female Spider. You move like a spider, you think like a spider, and you feel like a female Spider. This morning, when you were having fun at breakfast, you were dancing, thus the femininity in you, on the ceiling, this the Spider in you. You think like a spider, quick, reflex and with speed. Like with your spidersense. And you feel like a female spider. This city is now like your web, and a fellow female, a friend, was ganged up by…how many?"

"Four."

"By four males in you web. You became protective, angry, insulted, and bound to help your friend. But you are also a female spider and so you will feel the need to…well…" he thought hard. "What do you know about the black widow spider?"

"She is black, has red markings, and eats her husband after mating. And spits out lots, and lots of babies. Why?"

"Because you were acting like that, today."

"Having lots of babies!"

"No!...right?"

"NO!"

"Well, I was referring to the vicious, darker behaviour of a spider. Like humans, Spiders have their good, and their bad sides. Today, you went under the influence of your bad side. I have…quite a few times."

"Have you? Like when?"

"Like when the Green Goblin kidnapped your mother, and then told me what he had planned for her. That is how I kill him…"

"You KILLED him! I thought you just beat him!"

"Well…you were a little young back then. When you started asking those sorts of questions. But a more recent example, was when I came for you on your birthday. When I saw that flash boy, I could smell his fear drenching me and I wanted noting more than to sink my teeth into his neck and tear his head off." May looked a little scared, and impressed. "I felt as protective as a father Spider, and you are my offspring. I know you might not like the idea of being in the same light as a spider mentally, but it is more behavioural that mental ability."

"No…I think it explains a lot. Sometimes I find myself flirting with the bag guys, alluring them in and then, snap. Trapping them in my web. Literally."

"That works for you I guess…" May laughed. "What's so funny?"

"I tried to imagine you flirting with the Vulture."

"O.O…"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." May chuckled. "…this sure has helped though…I just thought I was a freak…"

"No, no you are not." Peter pulled her into a tight hug. "And even if you were, you're my freak and I love you very much." They chuckled and were only interrupted, with a loud growling. "I take it you're hungry then?"

"I don't know why but I get hungrier, quicker than before."

"Alas, another thing to blame me for." Peter chuckled. "I think you have learned enough for today."

"So I can eat?"

"Yep. I have microwavable popcorn in the cupboard if you want some. But…" he smirked. "You will have to fight me for them."

"Oh thank God." She mock sighed. "I thought you were going to give me something hard to do…"

After a lot of laughs, a few taunts like 'learn from the master, young one.' And 'don't give yourself a hernia, old man', and a popcorn feast/fight, and a few hours later…

"Why are you still in costume, and I am changed May?"

"Because you have to go pick mom up from the airport, and I am going to go swing off my popcorn."

"Drinking a pint of water afterwards will not have helped much."

"Oh, speaking of which." May ran off to the bathroom, and Peter laughed hard. It was nice to have someone else like him. Sure, his daughter had always been like him, but now she was really like him. And she loved him again, in the open sense of the word, and all was well.

May ran back inside and was putting her mask on. "Bye Dad." She jumped up, and was half way through the skylight, when her father webbed her ankle and yanked her back inside.

"I have always wanted to do that." he chuckled. "And where are you off to? it is getting dark."

"I told you, I'm going to work-"

"Venom." she let her mouth hand open, and she couldn't believe him.

"What?"

"That was what you were going to say once we skipped the excuses and cover stories, right? You are going to meet up with…shudders it."

"Ok, he is not an it!" she folded her arms. "He has really looked out for me and-"

"Just go before I decide to follow you, alright?" she looked as if she was about to let off another wise crack that her family was famous for…but jus grunted and jumped out the skylight. "And be back before 10! And come in through the front door!"

But she was already gone.

May landed on the roof of an old building, and looked around. It was starting to get dark, and she could see the full moon perfectly in the sky.

"It's beautiful…isn't it?" she looked behind her, and saw Venom. He looked like he had been walking on his tip toes and about to jump her, but stood normally when May caught him.

"Yes, we see a great beauty tonight." He walked up behind her and placed his hands on her hips. "A great beauty."

"I would be careful if I were you. I just learnt I am very much a Spider."

"We already knew this." He chuckled. "You are an animal; we knew that from the first time we felt you taste our tonsils."

"Oh you cheeky bugga!" May span round and looped her arms around his neck. "But I mean it. I am like a black widow spider, who consumes her partner after mating." She licked her lips, and he let his own tongue slither out slightly.

"We thought that happened during the mating?" he was glad that she took her mask off when she first saw him, as he now dragged his tongue up one side of her jaw. "Besides…that sounds fun. Mmmm…you consuming us…" she blushed as his hands crawled up her back. "But could you handle us? That is the question."

"Why? What exactly did you have in mind?" she whispered huskily, defiantly acting animalistic, and rubbing her hands up and down the sides of his neck.

"Many things, but coming back to the consuming idea…" He purred and lifted her up.

"Where are we going?" she chuckled over his shoulder, as he carried her like a sack of potatoes. But she didn't mind.

"Our place." her cheeks grew flushed and her legs warm as he said that. she bit her lips as many ideas went through her head.
