A/N: And now on with the next chapter.

One Month Later

It was December 23, and Ben sat in another pointless history class itching to get out. Finally the class was dismissed. He ran out of the room and out to the campus. He jumped over a shrubbery and ran to his dorm. He tossed his stuff onto his bed and pulled the Spider-Man suit on. Last night had been another dead end. The Black Cat had gotten away. It was 5 PM and the sun had set. He crawled out the window and jumped onto the top of the dorm building and shot a web and started to sling his way around the city. Her image was sketched into his head. The platinum blond hair. Those blue eyes, or were they green? He couldn't remember. He shot a web and stood on top a gargoyle on a church. He sighed and sat down on it looking down at the snow covered roads. It started to snow and spandex wasn't the warmest of all materials. "What's the matter Spider? Missing me?" a voice asked. He spun around. There she stood. She was leaning up against the spire. She jumped and out shot a grappling hook.

"Finally." Ben said. He jumped after her. She ran atop a rooftop as he followed. Half an hour later she stopped outside Oscorp. "Why the hell did you bring me here?"

"Why should I tell you?" she asked. She narrowed her eyes and jumped over the chain metal fence. Ben shook his head and followed after her. A bright light shone in his eyes. "Get down." Her hand gripped his ankle and pulled him down. He lay in a makeshift bunker next to the Black Cat. The lights flickered nearby and a man walked out. There was a bright flash and he had disappeared.

"What the hell?" he said.

"Electro." she replied. "Except Oscorp, now run by Wilson Fisk, has given him extra powers. Don't know how though." She started to get up but Ben pulled her back down.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked.

"I'm a friend." she smirked. She got back up and started walking off in the dark. He watched the platinum blond hair float in the wind. She jumped over the fence again and left him alone. He shook his head and sighed.

"Better get to the campus Christmas party." Ben muttered. Half an hour later he stood in his dorm and slid the suit in between the mattress and box spring of his bed. He walked out of the dorm and walked casually to a nearby frat house. He thought he saw that platinum blond hair again but was probably just seeing a figment of his imagination. He walked up the stairs of the snow covered house with sheets of ice on the porch. Long ice sickles hung from the roof.

As he opened the door one came crashing down behind him. He shook his head and walked through the door and closed it. Inside it looked as if half the university was there. He noticed the platinum blond hair. "What the hell?" he thought. He followed her through the large crowd into the so called "kitchen". He put his hand on her shoulder and she spun around, and looked at him. "Uh hey." he said.

"Hey." she replied. Her eyes ran over his body as she looked at him. She walked off through the crowd and Ben banged his head on the counter.

"Blew it." he muttered.

The Next Day

Ben sat in a chair in his parents apartment and Mayday running around like crazy talking about Santa. "If only she knew." he muttered. Peter walked through the door and brushed the snow off his jacket. Mayday jumped onto his leg.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed. "You're home!"

"How I made it through that blizzard I do not know." he muttered. "They say there's people stuck in the subway." Ben heard this and his head tilted slightly. He ran into his room and jumped out the window. He fell several feet and shot a web. The vast amounts of snow blew into his mask covered face. It blinded him for seconds. Something hit him.

"Damn pigeons." he muttered. He landed and heard screaming. The entrance was blocked off by a giant pile of snow that went from the bottom to the top of the stairs. He looked up and a blurred tunnel lay some 25 feet in the air. He shot a web and went sailing through the air and climbed up the web to the top. He ran into the pitch black tunnel. A large volt of electricity went roaring right past him.

"Holy shit!" he yelled. He quickly jumped to the ceiling and felt another strong electrical current go surging through his body. He fell to the ground numb. He twitched as another shock went sailing through his body. He struggled to get back up but he was paralyzed. Damn bastard. He thought. He lurched back up. He was gone.

He started to run through the dark tunnel. There was nothing. Nobody. There was no one trapped. It was all a trap. He shook his head and stripped the costume off. Five minutes later the subway stopped where he stood. The doors opened and several people stepped off. He entered the subway car and held onto one of the freestanding polls.

"Hey there tiger." a voice said. Ben looked near the back and smiled.

"Hey Gwen." he smiled.

"I was just on my way over you know." she said. She walked over to him and grabbed onto the same poll. "So what brings you here?"

"Nothing to be discussed in public Gwen." he muttered. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Fine." she replied. The doors of the subway opened and the two stepped out of it. They slowly walked up the steps. The blizzard hit Ben hard again. Gwen laughed and caught a few snow flakes on her tongue. They walked down the street towards the apartment. Up the freezing stairs they walked and opened the unlocked door. MJ looked up from over by the kitchen and smiled.

"Good. You're here Gwen." she said warmly. "Come sit down and warm up." Gwen smiled and took the winter coat and fleece hat off of her head. She sat down on the couch next to Mayday. Ben walked into his room and put the suit in between the mattress and the box spring of the bed. He walked back and sat down next to Gwen. The room was silent. Something bad was going to happen. Electricity buzzed in the air. Something was wrong.

Ben and Peter's spider sense went crazy. "Somethings not right." they said at the same time.

"I'll just turn on the radio." MJ said. She turned a knob on a nearby radio and music filled the room. There was a knock on the door. The buzz of electricity grew louder. A bolt of electricity hit the couch. Gwen and Mayday dropped onto the floor. Ben ran to the window and looked out. The platinum blond hair yet again showed. This time, she was chasing the wacko in the green and yellow spandex jumpsuit with the weird looking headdress.

Ben looked at the couch and then at the window again. He shook his head and made his decision. He ran into the bedroom again and put on his suit. He donned the mask over his face. He stood on the window sill and jumped out. He started to feel the snow sticking to the eyelids of the mask. He shot a web and slung over a semi. The yellow and green spandex clad Electro was easily spotted even in the snow storm. He shot a web at him. Bad move. The electricity that was built up inside him traveled through the web and sent Ben flying back. He flew towards the ground and hit his head hard.

"Ok, so that was a bad idea." he said. He rubbed his head and slowly got back up onto his feet. He collapsed back to the ground. He got back up one more time. He couldn't see the two anymore. A truck came speeding towards him. He shot a web up at a light poll and hung there for a few minutes. He started swinging back to the apartment. He stood in the room with his head hung low. He had failed himself. He said that nothing would ever stop him from stopping the villain. He was gravely mistaken.

A/N: Well ok. I have today and tomorrow off of school, and I'm hoping to get the next chapter up this afternoon or later tonight. Just hope for the best and have fun reviewing. And I am sorry for this long period of no new chapters. I was swamped with homework.
