Chapter 3

After Chloe left, Beca brought her hand up to her cheek. Then she quickly shot another web towards the girls and swung past them, Chloe smiled as she watched the webslinger fly between the buildings. Aubrey looked over and rolled her eyes, "your toner is showing."

"Shut up," Chloe said with as the two continued walking to the school.

Beca made her way towards the school and stopped in an alley a couple blocks down from the school. She took her mask off and quickly changed her clothes. She was planning on wearing the suit under her clothes, but it was a warm day, so she shoved the suit into her bag and headed to school. She walked in and headed to her locker, placing her bag in it and grabbing her books. Suddenly Jesse came up behind her and placed a Lego on her shoulder, "join me," he said impersonating the emperor. "And together….we can build my new Lego death star."

Beca looked over her shoulder to her friend with a shocked look, "what?"

Jesse smiled and nodded.

"No way, that's awesome, how many pieces?"

"Three thousand eight hundred and three."

"That's ridiculous."

"I know. Want to build it tonight?"

"No I can't tonight, Chloe and I are finishing up our project," Beca said as she grabbed her last book and shut her locker.

"Right," Jesse said as he punched the girl lightly in the shoulder. "How's that going?"

"It's fine, she's Chloe, you know the usual."

"Well why don't we work on the death star after your project? I'll work on the base and structure at my house, then I can come over after the project," Jesse continued, but Beca stopped listening the second she saw Chloe and Aubrey walk through the doors. She suddenly remembered their encounter a couple minutes before, and was finally pulled out of her thoughts by Jesse nudging her, "does that sound good, Bec?"

Not paying attention to what she agreed to, and still staring at Chloe, Beca nodded, "that'd be great."

"Cool," the two parted ways and Beca headed to her class. Once the first two classes were over, Beca met her friends at lunch. As usual, she participated in small talk, but eventually found herself staring at Chloe. "Bec you okay there?" Beca nodded and Jesse looked in the direction she was and grinned.

"Did Chloe get a new top?"

Jesse shook his head, "no that's an old top. But she's wearing it with different pants."

Beca hummed in response, "I should probably stop staring before it gets weird."

"Too late," Amy chimed in. "You're a weirdo."

"Dude."

Amy shrugged and continued eating her food. Once the bell rang, the four went their separate ways. Once her last two classes came around Beca and Chloe were suddenly inseparable. Aubrey and Fat Amy took note of the duo and their interactions.

"They're totally dating," Amy said watching the two in cooking class. "I mean look they're all over each other."

"They're working on the food together. Their hands grazing is no big deal."

"Yeah yeah, blondie, just fork over the twenty, you know I'm right."

"They're just lab partners."

The bell rang and the two girls quickly packed up, "hey Becs," Chloe asked.

"Yeah Chlo?"

"Rehearsal doesn't start for like an hour, what are you doing until then?"

"Probably just working on some homework. Why?"

"Well I was going to go grab some coffee before rehearsals, would you want to join me?"

"Sure, that sounds good," Beca smiled.

"Awes," Chloe said as she grabbed her bag. "You ready to go?"

"Sure, I just have to grab some things from my locker."

"Okay."

Chloe looped her arm with Beca's and the two headed out the door, the duo forgetting about their friends in the process, "guess it's you and me, Aubrey."

"Where do you think they're going?"

"Maybe a quickie before rehearsal."

Aubrey rolled her eyes, "not likely, she's my best friend, she would tell me if they were together."

"Or maybe she's keeping it a secret because she knows how much you love Beca," Amy joked.

"Doubtful, if anything she'd be forcing me to spend more time with her."

"Whatever you say."

"We should follow them."

"What? Why?"

"Research for our bet. Now come on!"

The two followed the other pair, staying out of sight. They followed them to Beca's locker, and then out to the coffee shop.

"So what are you gonna get?"

"I'm not really a coffee fan."

"Really? How do you wake up in the morning?"

"To an alarm."

Chloe chuckled, "well obviously, but you don't drink anything to wake you up?"

"No. I have a really good morning routine."

"Is that so? Well you'll just have to share your secret with me."

"Sorry, no can do."

Chloe pouted, "at least let me buy you a drink."

Beca sighed, "sure, I'll just get a hot chocolate."

"Seriously? Hot chocolate?"

"It's chocolate, who doesn't love chocolate."

Chloe chuckled, "fair point."

Chloe ordered their drinks and they sat down in a small booth. Meanwhile Aubrey and Fat Amy sat across the shop covering themselves with menus.

"She bought her a drink," Amy commented.

"She offers to buy everyone drinks. That means nothing."

"Whateva you need to say to keep yourself in denial."

"I'm not in denial, and there is obviously nothing going on here, so let's go back to school. Rehearsals are in thirty minutes."

Chloe got up to get their drinks and sat back down across from the smaller girl who had pulled out her homework, "calculus?"

Beca nodded, "yeah you know just basics like derivatives and shit."

Chloe chuckled, "yeah I hated calculus, it was kind of boring."

"It can be pretty fun though, I mean once you get to integrals and stuff."

"Oh totes, but derivatives are like, child's play."

Beca smiled, "if you're so smart why am I helping you study for Chemistry?"

"Because I'm awesome and you love me."

"Sure, Red."

"Well anyways, are you excited for rehearsal?"

"I guess."

"You guess?"

"We keep doing the same thing. We barely made it to the semis last year with this set."

"Yeah and Aubrey's puke fast didn't help us at the finals."

"Exactly. If we want to win nationals this year, we need to come up with something new."

"Maybe you could talk to her, Bec."

Beca scoffed and took a sip of her drink, "we both know that wouldn't help anything."

"Yeah."

"You could talk to her though."

"What?"

"Seriously, you're co-captain. You should get a say in the setlist."

"You know how things work, she does the setlist. I do the choreography." Beca groaned and took another sip of her drink. Chloe chuckled and looked at her phone only to see the time. She gasped, "oh my God, Bec we need to leave now if we want to make it to rehearsal on time."

The two girls scrambled to grab their things and their drinks and quickly headed back to school. Once they arrived the two set their bags down, Beca sat down in the chair next to Amy while Chloe went to stand next to Aubrey. Beca noticed a few new faces from the auditions and waited for the captains to start.

"Alright," Aubrey said, bringing the girls attention her. "Now that everyone has arrived, I would like to formally welcome everyone back and welcome all of the new Bellas."

"We are going to start with introductions and then we will do a skills assessment, and we will end practice with handing out schedules and announcements,"Chloe said with a smile.

"That's right, we will each say our name and grade and then something we do for fun in our free time or a fun fact. For example, I'm Aubrey Posen, I'm a junior, and I have an internship at Oscorp."

"And I'm Chloe Beale, also a junior, and I am trying out for cheerleading."

"See? Simple as that, now we will go around the group and introduce ourselves."

Everyone went around the group starting with Cynthia Rose, then Jessica and Ashley who were followed by Lily who was barely audible. Next one if the new girls stood up and smiled, "hi my name is Stacie, I'm a sophomore, and my hobbies are watching E Network and cuticle care."

Next up was another new face, and she slowly got out of her chair and waved, "hi I'm Emily and I'm a freshman. Uh, I guess a fun fact about me is that I write my own songs?"

Everyone waved and she sat back down. Next was Beca's turn, "hey I'm Beca, I'm a sophomore, and I make mixes and stuff."

She sat back down allowing Amy to introduce herself followed by the last new face, "My name is Flo, I'm a sophomore, and I just moved here from California."

"Well once again," Aubrey said once Flo sat down. "Welcome to our first official rehearsal of the year. Now everybody get into two groups we are doing a full skills assessment."

"One group will be with me working on dancing while the other group will be with Aubrey and in about forty five minutes we will switch and then we will be done for the day."

"Alright, let's start."

The Bellas fractured into the two groups. Beca went with Aubrey's group first and worked on her vocals. Aubrey jotted down notes as they ran through the usual exercises. After forty five minutes they took a quick break and switched stations. Chloe had all of the girls in a line doing a quick improvisation dance to see where each of them were. And then she did a brief example of the choreography for the routine and had the girls follow along. Once again, Beca mixed up her steps and Chloe gladly came in behind her to lead her through the steps. Beca tried to pretend like she didn't enjoy it but with Chloe's arms wrapped around hers and her voice in her ear, the girl was practically swooning.

Aubrey called an end to practice and asked for everyone to return to their chairs. Chloe handed out the schedules and setlist for the year while Aubrey began talking, "alright, nice job today ladies. Here is our practice schedule we will practice Monday, Wednesday, Friday from three until four-thirty. And I expect you to add your own cardio."

"Why cardio? We are all in good shape as you can see," Beca responded.

"Because we need to be at our best, and cardio allows you to stay in shape in order to perform the routine at one hundred and ten percent."

"And we have our first gig at the pep rally next week."

"We are performing at the pep rally?"

The captains nodded and dismissed the group. Beca went and grabbed her bag and waited for Chloe to wrap up with Aubrey. Amy was about to leave when she turned to Beca, "ay, shortstack! You coming?"

"Nah I'm waiting for Chloe we are going to my place to finish that cooking assignment."

"Oh well, see you tomorrow then."

"Yeah see you, Amy."

Beca noticed the two were wrapping up and walked towards the pair, "ready to go Chloe?"

"Sure, I just need to get my bag." Chloe walked away and Aubrey's face fell from a smile to a frown.

"Everything okay?"

"We need to talk."

"Those are not words a girl likes to hear," Beca joked trying to lighten the mood.

"I just need to remind you that this year you will need to take your ear monstrosities out."

"Seriously?"

"Yes they're distracting, and so is your toner for Jesse."

"What?"

Aubrey nodded, "you guys are practically all over each other."

"Trust me, that's not a thing, and you're not the boss of me."

Aubrey bit her tongue and sighed, "look whatever game you are playing here, you need to keep Chloe out of it."

"Dude, what game? After a year on the Bellas together do you seriously still hate me?"

"I hate your attitude."

"Yeah that's just my sunny disposition."

Aubrey rolled her eyes, "just stay away from Chloe, she is only going to get hurt."

"What are you even talking about? We're lab partners, not girlfriends."

Before Aubrey could respond, Chloe walked up to the two, "everything okay?"

Beca nodded and smiled, "yeah, you ready?"

"Totes! See you later Aubrey."

The two girls walked out of the school and headed towards Beca's house.

Meanwhile at Oscorp, Dr. Connors and Dr. Ratha are having a meeting about his progress with the cross species genetics, "it's finally working. I used the lizard DNA to regrow Freddie's limb."

"It's a miracle."

"No, it's hard work. And it's one step closer to the primate lab."

"Ah," Ratha sighed. "But he doesn't have time for every little step."

"Little?"

"I just mean, he can't wait."

"Well he has to unless wants to be a lab rat."

"That's not what I'm saying."

"Then what are you saying," Connors shot back to the man.

"You have to start human trials, now."

"No, I don't. And I won't."

"Then he'll die."

"People die. Even Norman Osborn," Connors said as he started packing his stuff.

"We are not finished."

"Human trials? Where are you going to find volunteers for something like this?"

"The wards," Ratha stated. "As far as anyone is concerned its it's a simple flu shot. I was thinking the veterans hospital is a place to start."

"You have got to be kidding me," he said as he stormed off to leave.

"I don't think I am," Ratha replied as he quickly grabbed Connors arm. "You know Curt, it's about fifteen years too late for shock and indignation."

"What're you talking about?"

"Richard Parker wore it well. But it's a cheap suit on you, just as it was then."

"I have nothing to do with that."

"Really? Is that what you told his daughter, Beca?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know or you don't want to know?"

Connors was about to respond but Ratha turned and left, leaving a frustrated scientist to his work. An hour or so after Ratha left, Connors was still pacing around his office when he decided to let himself be the first human trial. He made another vile of the serum and injected into the stump of his arm. He felt a rush of pain and screamed out before finally passing out on his desk.

The girls made it back to Beca's house while May was still at work and quickly began working on their assignment for cooking class. The two part project required making two desserts, one being a cake that would be made in class and the other a small easily portable dessert the partners would make at home together and bring to class. The two decided on making cupcakes and homemade icing. They stopped by Delmar's on the way to Beca's to pick up sandwiches and some ingredients, and now they were eating their sandwiches while reading through recipes for icing.

"Oh what about this vanilla buttercream icing," Chloe asked as she handed her phone to Beca.

She took a bite of her sandwich as she read through the ingredients, "fast and simple," she nodded. "Let's do it." Chloe smiled and the two finished their sandwiches then started baking.

Beca started working on the mixing the wet ingredients while Chloe was mixing the dry ingredients, "okay," Chloe said as she looked over the recipe, "looks like we got everything. Now we just need to combine everything together."

"Seems easy enough."

"So easy, even Beca Mitchell can do it."

"Hey, I'm not an egghead," Beca said as she reached around Chloe and flicked some flour towards her.

Chloe squealed and grabbed an egg, quickly smashing it on the smaller girl's head. Beca stood there in awe as the egg whites dropped down her hair, and Chloe laughed, "now you are."

"Jokes on you, egg is supposed to be good for your hair," Beca stated as she threw sugar and flour towards her.

The two girls ended up in a food fight, making a mess in the kitchen. Chloe flicked some of the batter towards Beca who responded by shoving her hand flour and hitting Chloe on her butt, leaving a white handprint on her jeans. Chloe shrieked and whipped around to pick up the smaller girl, spinning her around and tickling her.

Beca laughed and wiggled around trying to get out of Chloe's grip, "okay, okay! I give up. You win, please stop."

Chloe smiled and set the girl down. Beca turned back around and was face to face with Chloe. The two smiled at each other and Chloe sighed as she tucked some of the loose strands of hairs behind Beca's ear. Neither girl was aware of the distance between them shrinking. They could the other's breath on their lips and their eyes slowly started to flutter closed. Just as their lips touched, the owen chimed, letting the girls know it had heated up to the proper temperature. Pulled out the the moment, Chloe stepped back and smiled, "we should really get back to baking. Unless we want an F in cooking."

Beca nodded and the pair finished up mixing the ingredients. They poured the finished mixture into the cupcake tins and placed them in the oven to bake. While they waited for the cupcakes to bake, the girls began working on the icing. Forty minutes later the girls were finishing up icing the cupcakes and cleaning up. The girls managed to make the kitchen look decently clean after their food fight.Chloe had finished icing the last cupcake as Beca finished wiping the counter and Beca chuckled as she started at Chloe.

"What?"

"You have flour on your nose."

Chloe rubbed her nose with her hand, forgetting she had icing all over them, and ended up smearing it on her nose, causing Beca to laugh out loud, "oh we'll see who is the one laughing," Chloe said as she quickly reached over and smeared icing onto the side of Beca's cheek.

"Jokes on you, I love frosting," Beca said.

Chloe chuckled and moved closer to Beca, "well here you can have some more," she said as she smeared more onto her forehead.

Beca grabbed Chloe's wrist and held off her advanced of trying to cover her face in frosting. The pair laughed as they tried to overpower each other, and Chlor ended up having a bad case of the giggles that allowed Beca to pin her against the counter. The two stood face to face, and smiled as they settled down. Chloe brought her hand up to hold Beca's face, and pulled her in. They shared a small smile as they began to close the distance between them.

Just as they began to inch closer Aunt May walked in, "hey Bec," she said as she fumbled with groceries. "Can you help me with the-what's going on here," she asked as she noticed the girls who had yet separated.

"Nothing," Beca said as she quickly reached for a towel and handed it to Chloe. "Just a baking accident."

"Yeah she was trying to help me clean up the mess."

"Oh okay, well will you be staying for dinner, Chloe?"

"No, I'll be leaving shortly."

"Are we still going to study for Chemistry before you go?"

"Of course," Chloe nodded. "I'm just gonna go clean my face," she said as she headed up stairs.

Beca nodded and smiled as she watched the girl head upstairs before turning back to her aunt who was sporting a smirk, "what?"

"You sure there's nothing going on?"

"May, we are just friends."

"But you like her."

Beca tried to hide her grin, resulting in a laugh from her aunt, "yeah I do, but uh, I'm not even sure she likes girls."

"Well you never know until you try."

"No, no, see we've got a good friendship going here, I don't want to ruin that."

Not wanting to push any further, May nodded and smiled. Beca went upstairs and the girls quickly ran through their notes from Chemistry. Soon enough it was six o'clock and dark out, signaling Chloe that she should head home.

"So I'll bring the cupcakes to class Friday, no worries," Beca said.

"Okay, if you want I can swing by in the morning and help you with them. We made a lot."

"Sure. That sounds good."

Beca opened the front door for Chloe, "let me know when you get back home, I need to make sure my partner doesn't die or get kidnapped."

Chloe chuckled, "sure. Thanks for tonight, Becs,it was fun."

"Anytime, Chlo."

Chloe smiled and kissed the girl in the cheek before starting her walk back home. Beca stood on the front porch until the girl was just out if sight. As soon as the girl's fiery red hair was out of view, Beca went inside and quickly back up to her room. She pulled her suit out of her backpack and quickly changed before sneaking out of the window and climbing up to the roof. She looked back in the direction of where she last saw Chloe and saw the girls hair bouncing in the moonlight. She made sure to keep her distance, but be close enough in case there was any trouble.

Back at Oscorp, Connors wakes up and pulls his chair closer into the desk. He was surprised to be stopped by an arm he had learned to live without. He pulled the regenerated limb up onto the desk and unpeeled the dead skin over it, revealing a new limb covered in mucous membrane. Once he cleaned off his arm he continued to observe it while attempting to reach Dr. Ratha. After the phone rang a few times his assistant picked up the phone, "Emma it's Curt, is he there?"

"I'm afraid not, doctor. The car is taking him to the veterans hospital in Brooklyn."

"No! He can't, Emma you have to stop him."

"I wish I could but I always lose him on the bridge. I'll make sure he returns your call as soon as possible."

Feeling a sudden pain in his head Connors groaned and ended the call. He rushed out of his office and caught a cab. Not knowing why he was undergoing so much pain, he did his best to contain the sudden anger raging through him. He gets in the cab and does his best to tell the driver to take him to the same hospital as Ratha. Noticing his skin beginning to scale he tried to keep his head down, he asked the driver to use the bridge and insisted he drive as quickly as possible.

Chloe knew better than to walk alone at night, but she didn't want to make Beca walk her all the way home and then have to make the trip back alone either. She figured she could take some shortcuts through the alleys and figured if she walked fast enough that she would be left alone. But some part of her was hoping something might happen so that spiderman could come to her rescue. Thus she now found herself walking down the back alleys of Manhattan alone.

She quickly noticed a group of men near the other bed of the alley, but she was too far down the path to turn around and go the other way. She picked up her pace and quickly walked by them, hoping the men would ignore her. Unfortunately she felt her stomach drop as one of the men whistled and the sound of footsteps filled the alley.

"Looks like our delivery is finally here," one of the men said. Chloe noticed there were three other men with him, making it a four against one situation. She did her best to stay calm and end the matter as quickly as possible. "But unfortunately for you, we don't tip for late service."

Chloe rolled her eyes and scoffed, "you couldn't afford me anyways."

The man snarled and soon the four men began to circle around Chloe. She did her best to look around for an opening, but she was running out of time as the men were quickly closing in the space. She did her best to keep moving while also keeping a distance from each of the four men. However, she couldn't get very far when one of the men stepped in front of her and blocked her path. Suddenly there was a loud crash and it began to pour down rain, making it harder to see a clear path out of the alley.

Chloe sighed and offered her bag to the men, "look, you guys can have whatever you want from here. I don't want any trouble."

The man steps closer and grips his hand around the bag, "I don't take orders, I give them. If I want something, I always get it."

"Well, then I'm sorry to disappoint you," Chloe said as she quickly yanked her bag back towards her, pulling the man closer. She brought her knee up and drove it into his groin, causing the man to fall to the ground. She hears footsteps quickly approaching her as the other men start to advance on her, but before the first man can reach her, he is suddenly pulled in the opposite direction and sent flying into a nearby pile of garbage.

Beca quickly slings a couple of webs around the man who Chloe crippled and continued her advances on the other three goons. Chloe sighed at the sight of the webs being shot out from every direction, as it gave her a sense of safety. Chloe had yet to see the webslinger, as most of the attacks from the girl were coming from the rooftops. She shot a web at one man's face and as he tried to rip the webbing off, she shot another web at his torso trapping his arms. She then sent one final web and attached the guy to the side of the building.

Before either girl noticed, one of the final two men pulled out a knife and came behind Chloe. One man grabbed her hair and pulled her head back so that her neck was exposed, and held her arms behind her back. The other man held the knife so that the blade was barely touching Chloe's neck, "let us go," the man said. "Or else the street will be covered in her blood."

Beca quickly swung down from the rooftop, sticking the landing and putting her hand up, "hey man come on, why don't we just leave her out of it. Let her go and we can punch it out like men."

"You're that spider guy," the man holding Chloe said. ,

"Yeah," Beca nodded.

"You don't sound like a guy."

"Alright, yeah I know very fascinating. Now I'm not here for small talk, just let the girl go so I don't have to kick your ass."

The man with the knife smirked and chuckled as he pressed the knife into Chloe's skin, "I don't think you're in a position to be arrogant, Spiderman." The girl winced as she felt the knife cut the upper part of her neck, though it was only a small cut, she was beginning to lose hope.

Beca nodded and out her hand in the air, "you're right man. You found my biggest fear," she said as she went down on her knees. "Small knives." Chloe looked at the vigilante in awe, she could tell the hero was joking but she couldn't believe the audacity the girl had. "There is no negotiating in these situations man," she said as she put her arms down and shrugged. "So...I guess I'm going to just have to kick your ass."

Beca quickly shot a web at the man's knife and pulled the blade out of the man's hand, and sending it flying up to the fire escape where she shot another web to keep it in place. The man who was holding Chloe threw her against the wall and attacked her while Spiderman dealt with the other goon. Chloe did her best defending the guy, who was lazy and less than agile. Beca quickly shoots a web at the third man's chest and pulls him in, bringing her knee up to collide with his face. At the sound of his nose breaking, she shoots a web at his face and wraps him up before pinning him to the ground in encasing him in a silky cocoon of webs.

The final man, being somewhat of a coward stopped fighting Chloe to watch Spiderman battle the third man. Upon seeing the vigilante win, Chloe sported a smile while the fourth man tried to make a run for it.

"Oh no you don't," Beca leapt onto the nearby fire escape and aimed at the mans back. She shot a web, catching him and sending him flying backwards into the wall. She then wrapped his torso in webbing and jumped up to the roof, throwing another web toward the man, and sending him up in the air. Not expecting the amount of momentum the man had, he crashed into the wall. "Oh shit. My bad, are you good man? That was a little hard." Chloe chuckled as she looked around to the four mean who were trapped in the webbing. She looked around the rooftops for the hero and sighed when she figured Spiderman left. She turned around to head home and gasped when she heard a voice behind her, "you are really good at getting into trouble, you know that?"

"And you're really good at stalking me," she said as she turned around, now face to face to the vigilante who was hanging upside down.

"What? Dude, no. I was just in the neighborhood and heard the commotion. But for real, have you ever considered maybe like staying home, cooking a nice meal and binge watching netflix?"

"Well it's not like I was trying to find trouble, I just was cutting through to go home from my friend's house."

"Friend, huh?"

"Yeah, jealous?"

"As if," Beca scoffed. "Well I'm glad you're alright."

"I'm glad you saved me."

"Well that's my job. Trying to be a friendly neighborhood spiderman, you know, people think I'm an ass so I gotta show them I'm not," she stated as she began to pull herself back up the web.

"Wait," Chloe said to stop the girl. "Can't I at least thank you?" She steps closer to the girl who lowered herself back down. Before Beca could respond, Chloe was reaching towards her. She smiled as her fingers came across the seam for where the mask meets the neck of the suit. She hears a sharp inhale from the webslinger as she curls her fingers under the mask and slowly pulls it down, revealing pale skin and the girl's long dark hair that is tucked into the suit. She continues to pull the mas down, revealing the girl's jawline and earlobes, and the curve of a mouth slightly parted from shock. Chloe stops pulling the mask at the hero's nose and smiles.

Beca feels as if she can hardly breathe and her heart is pounding as if it would come out of her chest at any moment. Beca tried to hide her nervousness with a smirk and is able to see the the redhead is now closing the distance between them. Just before their lips touch Chloe sighs and opens her eyes to get one last glimpse at the hero. She grins and leans into the other girl who gasps a little once their lips finally touch. The lips are warm and damp from the rain and the mask. Chloe sighs into the kiss and she can practically hear her heart pounding. The rain continues to pour down and the storm seems to be the last thing on the duo's mind.

Chloe parts the hero's lips and brings her hands to the sides of the woman's face and her fingertips graze the girl's neck. Her tongue is met with a lazy stroke from Beca's and both girls feel their hearts hammering inside their chests. Beca tries to keep herself from grinning while Chloe's lips curl into a smile and her teeth graze the webslinger's bottom lip. She pulls on the bottom lips slightly and brings her tongue along it, surprising the girl who ended up losing her grip and slipping several inches lower.

"Fucking hell," Beca said with a chuckle as she fell. Chloe slowly steps away from the hero as Beca pulls her mask back on, "wow...you are….something, miss.." Chloe feels her heart skip a best with sound of the brunette's voice and was about to respond when the sound of sirens caught the hero's attention, "guess that's my cue."

"See you around?"

"Maybe," Beca said as she shot a web off into the distance and swung off.

Chloe turned to follow the track of Spiderman and ran to the bed of the alley, "thank you," she shouted.

"You're welcome," Beca responded from the rooftop of the building across the street. "Now go home."

While Beca was following the sound of the sirens she happened to swing by some policemen and followed them to the site of the noise. She found herself at the Williamsburg Bridge and swung up to the top to scout the scene. Just as she got up there she saw a massive lizard pushing his way through the cars on the bridge. She swung down just in time to catch one of the cars he threw off of the bridge. Once she hooked it onto the side of the bridge, she shot another web up to another bar above her and swung towards the Lizard who had made his way to Ratha's car.

"Incoming," she said as she swung into the monster, using her momentum to kick him the head, knocking him off balance so that he threw the car off the bridge. Beca quickly shot another web to catch the car and roped the rest of the web around the railing like she did with several other vehicles.

She was about to approach the lizard again when a man started screaming, "help! Help! Someone please, my kid is trapped."

Beca looked back at the lizard and sighed, she quickly made her way to the man and swung down to the vehicle. Once she got to the car she shot a web and took the back windshield off. The kid inside was screaming for help, "I want my dad! Someone help!"

Beca leaned in the car and tried to calm the kid down, "hey, buddy it's okay." Unfortunately the kid was not calmed by Spiderman's arrival and continued to panic. So Beca quickly took off her mask and got his attention, "hey it's okay man, I'm just a normal girl, see?" The boy nodded. "Wanna hold my mask?" He nodded again and Beca tossed it down to him. "Alright, hang onto that buddy. Now let's get you out of here. What's your name?" Before the boy could answer Beca noticed a name on a backpack and smiled, "Jack?" The boy nodded, "alright Jack, let's get out of this metal box yeah?" She climbed through the empty space and crawled up behind the boy, "alright I'm gonna undo the belt now. On three you gotta hold onto the seat." Jack nodded and Beca sighed. "Okay, one. Two. Three," Beca said as she grunted while she ripped the belt out of the lock and watched as the boy quickly got a hold of the driver's seat in front of him. Beca smiled, "see, super easy, right?"

Just as Beca said that she smelled something off and before she could pinpoint what it was, the front of the van caught on fire. Before she could react the webbing snapped and Beca had to shoot a web up to the bridge and then held onto the van with the other hand. She groaned as she looked back down at the boy, "Jack, climb, now!"

"I can't," he said, petrified to move.

"Yes, you can," she said. She looked at the mask the boy was holding and groaned, "put-put it on Jack." He looked at her with confusion, "the mask, put it on, it will give you strength, trust me." Jack looked at his reflection through the glasses in the mask and put it on over eas head. "That's it buddy, now climb." The boy nodded and slowly began heading towards the girl. She had a good grip on the bumper but she could feel the metal starting to bend and the sudden movement of the car was quickly becoming an issue for her to keep her grip. "Do me a favor, go a little faster, okay bud?" She continued to encourage the kid as he made his way forward, and just before he reached her, Beca felt the metal tear off and saw the boy extending his hand up to reach for hers, "no!" She quickly shot a web to the boy and it latched onto his chest. Jack grabbed onto the web and Beca sighed as she pulled him back in.

"Nice job buddy, can I get my mask back now?" Jack nodded and put the mask back on the vigilante, "alright let's get you back up there."

It took a while but Beca finally made it back up to the bridge, she carefully pulled her and the boy up and while holding onto the railing she handed the boy to his father. She pulled herself up as the man held onto his kid. She was crouched on the railing catching her breath when the man thanked her, "and who are you," the man asked.

Beca nodded and responded with joy, "I'm Spiderman." The man thanked her once more and she nodded before swinging off into the distance.
