Lost In Elysium: I wasn't trying to sound rude, sorry. I try my best to write each of the characters as best as I can, some are more difficult than others.
Adamh619: I figured I focus more on them instead of the other hero teams. Well it doesn't take much for a tiger to scare someone.
Man285: She's irritated with him.
Death Fury: Heh heh, it is funny.
OfficialUSMWriter: Go ahead, but there's no need to give credit to me. She's not happy at the moment.
Chapter 2: Why Should I Worry?
(New York City, Manhattan, SHIELD Academy, the next day)
White Tiger stood at the entrance of SHIELD Academy. She and Spidey had first patrol/watch of the city. They were to set an example to the rest of the group for how it should go…though Fury feared…well…you know…
"Where is he? He better not be late…again!" White Tiger snarled, arms crossed while leaning against the outside of the building.
White Tiger then picked up a familiar scent, then growled and quickly thrust her right fist upwards. There was a resounding smack and yelp of pain. Spider-Man fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ow…that hurt! What did you do that for?" Spider-Man groaned, rubbing his head in pain.
"Because you said you'd meet me here and would be ready to go as soon as you met up with me. Not try to sneak up on and try to scare me!" White Tiger hissed in reply.
"Can't I have a little fun?" Spider-Man chuckled.
White Tiger narrowed her eyes and growled at him, an actual tiger's growl, not a human growl. Spider-Man just gulped nervously.
"Heh…heh…heh…nice kitty." Spider-Man gasped nervously.
"Idiot…come on." White Tiger growled, turning to walk away and motioning for him to follow her.
(…Wow…I really hope I don't ever make her really, really, really mad. *Gulps*)
The two were then racing across the city, checking for anything suspicious.
"I'm not detecting anything. You?" Tiger asked.
"Nope, just how I like it! There's nothing wrong with the world! Ahh." Spider-Man sighed contently.
"Be serious Web Head, we can't slip up…ever. We don't know what the future holds for us." White Tiger grunted.
"Relax Tiger, everything' fine. Can't you relax?" Spidey laughed.
White Tiger rolled her eyes. They continued to patrol the city, but found nothing that needed their attention. They then found themselves on top of a small building overlooking some traffic.
"There's nothing, let's head back to tell Director Fury." White Tiger advised.
"Come on, let's enjoy some much needed free time while we're here." Spider-Man groaned.
"This is serious; we can't just goof off." White Tiger growled.
"You worry too much, and don't relax enough. There's nothing wrong, and we shouldn't trouble ourselves." Spider-Man scoffed.
White Tiger rolled her eyes and shook her head.
(Heh heh, let's have a little fun.)
"Come on Tiger, let's go have some fun, cruise the town! Just you and me!" Spider-Man chuckled, wrapping an arm around White Tiger's shoulder.
"I'm not in the mood Web Head. We have to be alert, we have to be prepared all day everyday." White Tiger snarled, pushing away his arm.
Spider-Man eyed her with a hint of disappointment. But he started to chuckle.
"What is it?" Tiger grunted.
"Let's have some fun. Follow me!" Spider-Man chuckled, running towards the edge of the roof of the building.
"What are you...?" White Tiger grunted.
"Do I have to spell it out for you?...heh heh! I'll just sing it for you! Hahaha!" Spider-Man laughed, then web-slinged away.
"What?! No! Please don't!" White Tiger growled, following him.
Spider-Man laughed as he gracefully landed on a truck and turned to her.
"One minute I'm in Central Park!" Spider-Man sang, his back to a painting of Central Park on a bus he landed by on the truck he landed on.
Spider-Man than leapt away.
"Then I'm down on Delancey Street!" Spider-Man sang, White Tiger racing after him.
Spider-Man then landed on a concrete mixer truck.
"From the Bowery to St. Marks! There's syncopated beat!" Spider-Man sang as he strutted along the moving back end of the concrete truck.
Spider-Man than leapt over it.
"Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!" Spider-Man sang as the rotating mixing drum of the truck moved to reveal him standing there singing.
White Tiger landed on it, but started to lose balance then jumped off. She landed on the sidewalk glowering at Spider-Man.
"I'm streetwise! I can improvise! Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!" Spider-Man sang as he slid down the mixer aug (which had no mixed concrete on it), then somersaulted over past White Tiger.
Her eyes began to twitch angrily.
"I'm street-smart! I've got New York City heart!" Spider-Man sang, strutting away.
White Tiger raced at him. But he slung away.
"Why should I worry?! Why should I care? ! I may not have a dime! But I got street savoir-faire! Why should I worry?! Why should I care?! It's just bebopulation! I got street savoir-faire! Mmmmhmmm!" Spider-Man sang as he web-slinged through the city, White Tiger racing as fast as she could after him on the rooftops.
White Tiger muttered angrily under her breath at him as she chased him.
"The rhythm of the city! But once you get it down! Said you can own this town! You can wear the crown! Why should I worry?! Tell me! Why should I care?! Say I may not have a dime! But I got street savoir-faire!" Spider-Man sang, landing on a building rooftop then strutted along.
White Tiger neared it. But then Spider-Man leapt off the building. He was then raised up by a piano being lifted up another building.
"Why should I worry?! Why should I care?! It's just a doobopulation! And I got street savoir-faire!" Spider-Man sang as he quite literally also played the piano to a great tune that mixed harmoniously with his singing.
"You fucking stupid little…" White Tiger growled under breath.
Spider-Man than caught some beautiful white flowers falling from a nearby window.
"They love me at the Chelsea! They adore me at the Ritz!" Spider-Man sang, then tossed White Tiger the flowers.
The flowers fell around her as if she was being hailed with them, but glared angrily at him whilst blushing madly under her mask.
"Why should I worry?! Why should I care?! And even when I cross that line! I've got street savoir-faire!" Spider-Man sang as he leapt off the piano without damaging it.
He web-slinged away, White Tiger hot in pursuit.
"Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!" Spider-Man sang as he web-slinged away, then dropped down and landed in front of SHIELD Academy.
White Tiger huffed as she trailed behind him by several feet.
"Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!" Spider-Man sang as he strutted to the door, White Tiger stumbling behind him, tired.
(SHIELD Academy, Nick Fury's office, minutes later)
Spider-Man and White Tiger stood in front of Nick Fury's desk.
"Nothing to report sir! Everything's wonderful out in the city today!" Spider-Man chuckled.
Fury's gaze turned to the boiling White Tiger.
"Yes sir…everything's good…" White Tiger grumbled.
"…Alright then…thank you two…next will be Nova and Iron Spider…good work today you two. I'll see you two tomorrow for training." Nick Fury said.
The two nodded. Spider-Man hummed the song he was singing, whilst exiting. White Tiger started to leave.
"Ms. Ayala…" Nick Fury said.
"Yes sir?" White Tiger asked, turning to look at him.
"…Is that a flower in your hair?" The Director of SHIELD asked.
White Tiger reached behind her and felt the flower in her air.
'That…little…' White Tiger hissed in her mind.
"He got you flowers?" Fury chuckled, amused by the sight.
White Tiger blushed under her mask, no response for the man. He nodded to her. White Tiger left the room then gently pulled the flower from her hair. She held it in both hands and looked at it. As she looked at it, she felt a mix of emotions bubbled inside her. White Tiger didn't know what to think, but the workings of a smile slowly did their magic underneath her mask.
