Chapter 5- Enter Spider-Man
Flashback Yesterday Night
"Hello…Cindy, what are you doing here?"
Cindy made no response her head was down, she had a backpack filled with some stuff as well as luggage.
"What's with the luggage?"
When she looked up Peter eyes widen, her eyes were red and puffy, "Peter…"
She dropped her bags glomping him she buried her face in his neck, she sobbed. He wrapped his arms around her, "What happened?"
She shook her head, she was in no mood talk about it. Peter held her tightly rubbing her back, what on earth happened?
Aunt May came around the corner, "Peter who is this?"
"With all due respect, Aunt May now is not a good time for 20 question." Peter said letting the girl go grabbing her bags, "Come inside Cindy."
The girl moved forward wiping her tears away, she sniffled while trying to keep what little dignity she had to yet failed to do so, "I'm…ss-sorry…f-for…d-disturbing…but I…didn't know…where to g-go…*cries*…"
Aunt May pulled the girl into a gentle hug, she cried in the older woman's bosom feeling arms wrapped tightly around. Aunt May gave a look at her nephew to tell her what in the world was going.
He got the message quickly, "Her stuff is going in the guest room; I'll be down in a moment."
"Come dear into the kitchen I'll make you a nice hot tea." While leading the way Uncle Ben made his way up the stairs
"So who was that?"
"I tell you when we are downstairs." His nephew replied as he sat the luggage's down in a corner.
Quick as lightening Peter dashed towards the kitchen, Uncle Ben had a question look, "Never seen him move that fast before for anything."
Cindy sipped her tea, when she heard thunderous footsteps come down she looked up gingerly to see a blur stop in front of her.
Peter was very concerned when Uncle Ben entered the room, all eyes were on the male soon to be spider hero. With a sigh he cleared his throat, "This is Cindy Moon, she was at the expo with Gwen, Mary Jane and myself who also is developing spider powers. Cindy these are my relatives Benjamin and May Parker, they are aunt and uncle."
The girl silently nodded her as her way of saying hello, her attention was once brought to the boy in front of her, "I don't mean to pry but what happened?"
With a deep breath, Cindy placed her cup a tea down on the table, sniffles still claiming her "My parents…kicked me out…of the house"
"How awful!" May exclaimed, she placed two supportive hands on the girl's shoulder, "Why would they do such thing to a pretty young lady like you?"
"Because I'm a freak of nature!" Cindy replied harshly her demeanor cracked, "I-I webbed them up when they told me Ezekiel Sims came looking for me. He was at my house…"
"Ezekiel!" Peter knocked over the chair startling both his relatives "Cindy don't tell me that they were thinking of…"
Her head bobbing up and down was the confirmation he needed, "I got angry when they told me." She paused, "And then I felt you trying to calm me down it worked only briefly it, one thing leads to the other and then it turned into a shouting match and through my frustration, I webbed both my parents to the wall. They freaked, my mother called me a freak, a mutant spawn from hell and she told me to leave the house by tomorrow morning and that Ezekiel could have because they disowned me."
"You poor girl."
Cindy once again lets the waterfalls consume her, "I-I didn't…want to be locked away…"
'That's not good with Ezekiel looking for Cindy that only means one of the inheritors are on the move looking for the Spider-Bride which means Spider-Man is about to get an early appearance.' Peter thought
"Peter who is this Ezekiel Sims?"
"Uh…" 'Think Fast parker!' He mentally shouted, "There's ,not much I know about him I just know he is into a lot of mythical stuff not sure what though something about Spider-totems or inheritors."
"But you told me 'something else is coming and we have to be ready for it.' Is this spider-totem that something?"
'Got me there…' He nodded his head, "Which is why you are going to stay here with us if that's okay with you Aunt May."
End of Flashback
It was Sunday the next day in the morning Peter, Aunt May and Uncle Ben are back from church, Peter sighed when he walked in, 'I didn't realize that Peter's aunt and uncle were Catholic, not there's any wrong with Catholics just not my cup of tea, back in the real world I'm more used to Pentecostal or evangelical type of services not mass, Ugh never again. Good thing I finished the suit yesterday night even though it took me until 2 in the morning to finish. Wonder how Cindy is doing?'
Peter quickly went through door upstairs quickly to find the guest room still occupied, quietly he tiptoed over to the sleeping girl. Her face was in a deep frown, a tear trail found itself on her cheek, the young man wiped it away gently as he could. Regardless to say when May called the house to ask for the parents of the said child they immediately said that she was not their child, also within the next day or two, they would be seeing a lawyer to legally hand over custody to Cindy into their care. Let's just say some very strict non-colorful words were used to make the parents rethink their minds but they didn't want to hear her at the moment.
He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek stroking her in the same spot, she stirred yet not awoken; the Parker teens eyes narrowed thinking back to last night as well what her parents did to her. It wasn't fair to do this but how you react if something like happened to every child wasn't it the same problem for all the mutants around the globe?
Cindy had no desired to sleep alone so she slept with Peter, (No not that kind of sleep! :p) not wanting to be alone for the night so he spent the night with her on his chest while the said teen was rubbing her back until she was entirely sleeping at ease until he picked her up to put her down in the guest room.
"Ezekiel is going to find you here eventually I'm going to have to convenience him to have you stay with us and let me train you myself if possible." He whispered, just then a sound that reassembled a loud thunder was heard causing him to jump but if you were not from this dimension it sounds more like something a portal opening
"I don't remember that forecaster saying thunderstorm was going to be in the forecast for today or boom tubes opening." Peter looked back Cindy stirred slightly yet not awoken. Quickly as he could, he was tip-toeing out of the room silently closing the door, then rushed downstairs towards the back door then he looked up, yes it was cloudy with a bit of dark gray within them, "Maybe I should have paid more attention."
A soft groan was heard, his eyes scanned the area it rested upon a figure unconscious on the dirt grass three feet next to the shack. Peter steps on a metal which clanks beneath his foot, he picks it up examining the weapon.
"A sai? A ninja or an assassin?" He looks around making sure that the neighbors are not watching then again it was still pretty earlier as he puts the weapon in his back pants belt. With a questioning look, he walks towards the sprawled figure on the ground with the hair pooling around the ground partly while mostly covering their face, from what he could tell, it was a girl and apparently she was not wearing any clothes save for a piece of loin covering her privates.
Crouching to the downed girl he turns the figure it reveals a woman but not just any woman; "Elektra!" Peter gasps, "What in the world is she doing here?"
The boy's eyes scan her body it was quite the body she had since the curves were in the right places apparently whatever brought her left her marked mostly with some type of bruises and scorch marks.
Not wanting to have thoughts of perversion or allowing himself to have a feel he quickly spun his webs covering more of her like a blanket, once it was done he lifted her up bridal style to bring her inside the house.
"Are Peters adventures mostly like this?" He questioned, "Well it's not every day you find a sexy assassin sprawled over your backyard…"
He paused at the door, was it really safe to bring in someone inside the house being an assassin? Elektra was trained not only by her mentor which the names escape Peter, she was also trained with the Hand if memory serves correctly making her quite deadly and unpredictable.
He gave out a huff, "Why me?" Backing up he went to the basement door if Peter's memory served correctly which luckily it did the basement wasn't connected to the main house so he could hide her there for the time being if she allowed it. He placed her against the wall as he opened it, once that was out of the way he proceeded to make his way down with her over his shoulders.
It was dusty in here so a sneeze was inevitable, there was a small light switch at the bottom of the staircase so when flickered on the place shone; it was mostly cemented walls with a few pipes here and there along with some cobwebs in corners of the basement. A chair was in the middle of the room so he placed her down there after checking to make sure no bugs were hanging about.
The young woman head fell limply to her side when seated, he lifted her head giving her a hard look; "This Elektra is about late teens early 20's, and I have to say she is very beautiful. I could kiss that face still that doesn't answer why the grass was a little scorched or why is she here?"
He gazed around the room it was big enough to hold a mini gym with or in this case some science equipment if needed, it also included two separate rooms. "It's separate from the house which is good no one will interrupt me when I figure out some stuff with the web shooter not to mention I could set up a few things down here, I'm going to call Harry to see if OSCORP has any old computers that he can donate."
Another boom happened outside followed by a streak of light then heavy rain, Peter turned to see the water on the steps he closed one of the basement door, "Thunderstorms, if it's one thing I will not do in this crime-fighting career, is going out in a thunderstorm to risk my life sure with spider senses along with spider reflexes it can save my life from lightning strike I guess. Better yet I will have to cross that bridge when I do, right now I have important things to take care of."
Then Aunt May's voice called before he finished closing the door, "Peter! Are you out here sweetie?"
"Yeah! I'm in the basement!" He shouted
"What are you doing down there?"
"Just decided to check something out down I'll be in the house in a moment I want to see something I might have an idea for this hero business." It wasn't a complete lie he just didn't want to explain how an assassin ended up in their backyard
"Okay, it looks like it's going to be a terrible storm so don't take too long."
"I got it." He said with that he closed door, going downstairs.
Elektra stirred signaling that she was about to wake up when the young assassin has awoken, she looked around the room. "Where am I?"
A hand went to her head it was hurting like crazy, "What am I doing here? Why is it so cold?" She gasped when she saw that she was half naked, "Where are my clothes!?"
"Welcome back to the land of the living Elektra." A voice said, her gaze saw a young man who looked oddly familiar yet she couldn't place him who was he? Who was this Elektra?
"Who are you?" She asked, "Whose Elektra?"
This stunned him momentarily "My name is Peter Parker, you're in my basement next to my house I found you lying on the ground naked. For the record, you are Elektra Natchios daughter of the ambassador from Greece right?"
Her head pounded, her ears started to ring she couldn't remember anything, "I don't know I don't remember is that my name it sounds more like electric."
"You've got to be kidding me, you don't remember anything?"
Elektra gave him an annoyed look, "I'm not joking! I have no idea who I am or where I am or how the hell I got here! I don't remember anything at all!
Peter wasn't buying it for a moment assassin were tricky take a look at Ezio or Altair from Assassin Creed. He wasn't going to be fooled; this could be a trick, however, the way she presented herself it was almost believable. It was in the eyes, her eyes told the story she was telling the truth. She was genuinely worried, truly confused about the situation like a little lost puppy.
'This is a shocker an assassin with amnesia. Still, I have to be very careful assassins are known for feigning things when it's convenient for them to gather information. This must be a different Elektra from an alternate universe; with the multiverse being so big I wouldn't be surprised if she was from another dimension. Still, I could use this to my advantage I can make part of my team in the near future. For the time being, I guess Harry is going to have his hands full to create fake documents for this girl not to mention I'm going to have to dye her hair a different color.' As he thought this the amnestic assassin gave him a question, 'Red would definitely suit her well as highlights.'
"I'm sorry I was in a daze what did you say?"
"I asked you who are you to me?" She asked innocently, "Are you a relative?"
Peter shook his head crossed his arms then sarcastically replying in a joking matter, "Your boyfriend."
railroad was news to amnestic Elektra, 'Boyfriend? I have a boyfriend?'
"Look this is all new to you and I'm going to need you to stay here for a little bit is that okay with you Elektra?" He asked
Her brow furrowed, why did she want to be locked down here in someone's basement? She wanted to see where she got some air to clear her head unless…she had devious little smirk plastered on her face one that alerted Peter to her.
'I , don't like that look in her eye.' He swallowed dryly
"So you want to keep down here?" Peter nodded his head very slowly, "You know it is raining outside just the two of us down here all alone, just me…"
She swayed her hips, Peter felt his lips go dry his heart beating a little too fast for his taste he knew signs all too well and mentally prayed 'Oh dear mercy don't let me take this girl right now.'
She pressed herself against him her chest against his chest, she felt so good. He wrapped his arms around her waist, her arms around him looking at him very seductively giving him a kiss on his lips, they broke apart when she said; "And my boyfriend…taking advantage of me…"
His breath caught in his throat; 'Sugar, Honey, Ice, Tea…' Oh why, oh why did he say that to her, 'Have mercy on my soul why I did say that? Now she really thinks I am her boyfriend! This is not going to get complicated, no, not at all, not at all.'
He pushed her away, shaking his head, "No Elektra…"
"Stop calling me that name! It sounds weird!" She said frowning
"Okay, how about Erika?"
"Erika…" The name rolled off the tongue smooth she smiled, "I love it."
She was about to kiss him again, when he placed on hand on her lips while the other pushed her away from a little, once again he shook his head, "Elek…er…Erika stop, I don't know you like that, in fact, I hardly know you at all." Her demeanor faulted a little, "You're a beautiful woman heck I would do what you just said but I am not about to knock you up just to have a little pleasure. I'm sorry I couldn't live with myself if that would happen not to mention I'm a minor you are at least 18 or 20 years old so you could go to prison for having sex with a minor being charged in the third degree serving up to 25 years in prison. Not to mention it would not be pleasing to my conscious or my Aunt's May little heart or my personal conviction."
She gave a small 'tsk', "A mamas boy are you?" She still held that devious smile, "I guess I'm going to break through that mama's boy demeanor to show you a life on the wild side but you are right I could go to prison, though not if we keep it a secret…"
This girl was relentless she really thought that he was her boyfriend, this was going to complicate things with Cindy; especially her since he promised her that he be her friend later boyfriend if she allowed it. The Asian was attractive however with all the sexy Marvel girls running around through his mind it was going to be a nightmare trying to keep his lips, hugs, affection and strong posture in check.
"You're welcome to try." Peter said removing her hands upon him, "I also like someone else so it wouldn't work between us plus I don't want conflict between the two of you beside yourself has amnesia nor will I entertain the idea of a relationship with you."
This didn't sit well with the young amnestic assassin, she licked her lips looking at his, she let a small chuckle escape her lips, "I may have amnesia, yet I guarantee if I wanted something; I go after it. So even if I have to wait for you to be older I will I'll be patient for now."
Once again she wrapped himself around his neck then she blew into his ear, a shiver went down his spine. He swallowed very dryly. He wasn't stupid nor was he blind; the girl was well developed for her age; stunningly beautiful only a fool wouldn't see that. Yet it went against everything he believed in no matter how tempted he was to touch her, claim her, make her scream his name.
He looked deeply in her eyes, they were filled with lust, desire, and mischief. 'This is not my world…" He thought, 'I could get away with it I could even start my own harem of all the Marvel girls both good and bad… yet in my heart…in my heart will this bring me satisfaction or will it tear my heart into pieces? Will I ever be able to live with that shame of regret, repenting of this idea to do something like this called a harem? I've read plenty of Fanfiction in my old world with Peter in a harem but me personally in another mans body willingly to do that? I would be a fool to think that there are no consequences for my actions! Only a foolish person would say that is okay to live wild and free…I'll not take that risk.'
He closed his eyes leaning forward to claim her lips, Elektra smiled as she also leaned in to seal the fate of another kiss yet at the last moment he turned his head so she only got his cheek.
"Again I say to you are welcome to try." Peter removed her from him, "Aside from that, we are going to establish some ground rules, #1 I will have to keep you here until I get you proper documentation I literally found you outside of my house no explanation or anything, #2 No going outside or out without me…"
"Should have seen that coming…" She sighed
"…Until rule #1 is completed and you have the basic idea of how NYC works, #3 if anyone comes to the basement and they don't do this…" He demonstrated with his knuckles brushing it against a metal pipe, Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap pause tap, tap, "Hide until I can return or if I am with someone else hide still. #4 we are going shopping for new clothes once the rain stops at a later time."
She nodded crossing her arms under her bosom perking them up, Peter's mouth scrunched up yeah he was going to get out of here soon or else something was going to give. As a matter fact; "Let me see if I can find you some clothes around here."
Peter was super glad to get away from her she was 98% in her birthday suit underneath the webbing blanket he made; it didn't hide her figure either. Peter went into one of the room in hopes of finding clothing it, fortunately, he did as he saw a box that said Aunt May's old clothes.
"This will do nicely." Using his super strength he ripped open the box it was filled with clothes from, "Huh clothes from the 70's…hippies…or disco fever, fortunately..."
"You expect me to wear that?" Peter jumped when he saw her behind him
"I leave that for you to decide. Right now I have to make a phone call."
Osborn residents 10:30 Am
BUZZ

BUZZ
BUZZ
Harry groans as he puts a pillow on his head, he didn't feel like answering his cell phone. The buzzing continues for a few more moments before it goes to silent, he sighs in relief but then
BUZZ
BUZZ
BUZZ
BUZZ
"Alright, alright!" He throws the pillow off picks up his cell, "Hello?" He says groggily, "Peter do you what time it is? Of course, it not that early…Need me to do you favor? Okay…what you need… need me to get a lawyer for documentation for a girl you found half-naked in your backyard…WHHHATT!"
Harry shoots up in bed fully awake, "Care to repeat that again?"
Parker resident
Peter was in his room away from ears as he talked, "You heard me, Harry, I need you to find documentation papers for a girl I found nearly in her birthday suit. The name is Elektra Natchios. Of course, I expect you to believe…you want proof? Okay, I'll give you proof but right now I can't because I don't feel like taking shower outside. You'll get your proof later and oh get your credit card ready for today because we are going shopping later once it stops raining. Oh, and we're taking Cindy, MJ and my new roommate so I'm going to need a hand carrying bags."
Osborn resident
"You can't be serious Peter, you want to go shopping and you want to take Mary Jane, Cindy and this mysterious girl you found with us? Why should I waste my money? Of course, we're the best friend! Wardrobe change? You can't be serious…" He paused to listen to his friend, "That's a good point poindexter alright I'll pick you up around 11-11:30. Oh, how am I doing with trying to learn with OSCORP? Its slow progress but we are getting there, oh before I forget Dr. Octavius has a demo in May on the 12th you want to come? Sweet…alright, Peter, I'll see you later."
Harry hangs up his cell, throws the covers off stretches his limbs getting ready for the day, he looks himself in the mirror he has a messy bed hair, "Yeah right girl running around in her birthday suit."
He fixes his bed head towards his bathroom, to brush up. After a while, he comes out of the shower with a towel covering his parts as he goes through his drawer to find some underwear, "Alright Peter let's see what you want."
It was around noon when Harry showed up in his limo, there was two girls waiting on his front porch with Peter talking to the one dressed up like she popped from the 70's. The clothes she wore had him drooling a little since it was hippie-style blue and white print long-sleeve crop top with tie front, and matching blue and white print bell-bottom pants and some high heels. The clothes did nothing to hide her curves or the ample bosom.
"He wasn't joking…" Harry mused, he watches as Peter walks up to the door tapping the window his knuckle.
"Master Harry I would prefer if your friend didn't tap on the window like that I had this limo cleaned after the rain stopped." His driver said in an annoyance
"I'll tell him that John. Can you please lower the window?"
The object slides down, "Heya Harry what shaking?"
"We need to talk about that girl you have hiding behind you."
Peter jumps when Elektra is behind him, "We'll talk more in private when we get to the mall. You got your piggy bank ready Mr. Osborn?"
"I can't believe we are going shopping. Do your aunt and Uncle know that you are going with me?"
"They do, we decided to bring Cindy because well she going through a rough patch lately." He whispered that last part, "Don't bring anything up about her parents, it's a touchy subject."
"Got it."
Manhattan General Hospital
Connors was here since yesterday checking in on fallen electrocuted Max Dillon, he was here with the electrician little sister Lillian Dillion. She was nervous when she got the call from OSCORP that her brother had been an electoral accident, they told her that they weren't sure if Max was going to make it or not.
The doors of the room opened the doctor came out with a sense of relief, Lillian stood up quickly as the dark-skinned man came walking towards her with Connor in the back from the isolation unit.
"Dr. Brown, how's my brother Max?" She said quite nervously
The doctor sighed deeply, "It's a miracle believe me and that's a term that we cannot use in the medical field but it's a miracle. His condition is stabilized but…"
"Maybe we should let Lillie here take a look for herself." Connors interrupted
Lillian swallowed dryly as she was led towards the room what she saw gave her chills running down her spine. Her brother was completely utterly blue, crystal blue wearing a suit that had tubing allowing for electricity to run.
"Lillie."
"Max."
She was about to run and hug him but she stopped by Connors, "Max is generating bio-electricity, which is the reason why he's wearing that isolation suit that will allow to contain it as well as chip in the right side of the head for his own protection as well as the people around him."
"Oh, Max…" Lillie gingerly stroked his arm, the man patted his sister's hand
"Don't this is only temporary we'll work on a cure that gets you out of this condition."
"Least you could do." He responded bitterly
Connor looked at him with regret in his eyes, "Get some rest Max at least you have company from a relative."
The scientist and the doctor left the Dillion siblings alone with the light turned off the only light that was generating was from the body of the technician.
On Route to Manhattan Mall
Harry wasn't the usual jealous type of guy however when your best friend finds a hot chick sitting on his lap with another girl staring crossly at him then you got a problem. However, knowing Peter for an X amount of years he wouldn't dare touch a girl in fact he was a chump when it came to talking with the ladies or making a move on them. He held the girl around her waist as she leaned her head on his shoulders, he mouth to him 'I'll explain later'. It was very awkward as his friend told 'Erika' to kindly sit next to him, not on top of him.
She refused three times before deliberately shut his mouth his with hers. After that, it was Peter sitting fuming at the situation,
"I don't know whether to be jealous or have pity on the fact that you're calmly allowing a girl to sit on your lap while the other is staring dagger at you," Harry stated
"Trust me I may seem calm but on the inside, I'm twitching." The reply came
The amnestic assassin looked over to Cindy she gave a quick smug smile towards the girl which the other girl caught on quickly. Now in order for her to save face and not lose whatever patience she had left Cindy looked at the window watching the cars move by rather than see Peter with this girl, 'I'll get her later for this.'
She didn't believe Peter when he said that she appeared out of nowhere yet here she was for who knows what else; also Mary Jane was present looking a bit miffed as well.
"Once we get to the mall you girls are trying out the latest fashion statements," Peter said with a smile
"Hmph…" MJ snorted, "Does that include that we have to model for you?"
"If you want I can get a camera with a few accessories and we can start your career early with me being your manager. How about it?" Peter said
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope dead serious." He replied then he thought, 'If I could jumpstart MJ's modeling career my chances of running into Elizabeth Braddock AKA Psylocke can increase beside I need someone I can trust to keep that I'm not from the Marvel Universe a secret which I can tell later to the guys when they are ready but a telepath is required then again Xavier could be the man for the job this is going to be a tough decision.' "You said you wanted to start modeling so here's a golden opportunity for you Mary Jane to jump-start your career I can create a website with my technical coding background and Harry here supplies me with old OSCORP computers as I upload photos of you wearing the latest fashion gig."
"Say what now?" Harry got out of his stupor, "You want me to do what now?"
"Like I said before I'm going to owe you the biggest favor of your life. You get me certain things I will make sure that they are put to good use."
"Peter you're asking a lot I would ask you what's in it for me but I'm afraid to ask so I'll ask anyway what's in it for me?"
He shrugged, "What do you want?"
The girl's attention was on Harry, Peter stared at him for the longest moment what did he want? Peter expressed interest in doing a crime-fighting unit to help protect this city from criminals could he really do the same? Harry thought about a moment or two later before he made his decision.
"I want to join your crew with my own set of costume."
John looks at the back through the rearview mirror, he thought of nothing of that just friend getting together for a costume party. "Kids these days."
"Alright, but we'll talk more in private about that."
The mall
Peter looked around his surrounding, "This place is bigger than the Palisades Mall."
"What mall is that?" Cindy asked
"It's only the 12th largest mall in America the first being Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota."
"Have you've ever been there before?" MJ asks curiously
"No, not really…" He mentally smiled, 'Yeah, about half a dozen times!"
"Maybe we should go there sometime," Erika says holding on to Peter's arm much to the annoyance of Cindy and MJ
"I doubt you guys know where Rockland County is?"
"Rockland County? Where is that?"
"I rest my case." He tugged on Elektra as she stuck her tongue out to the girls while resting her head on his shoulders when they walked away
"I'm going to kill that woman if that's the last thing I do." Cindy curling her fingers into a fist
"Ladies please let's not make a scene here."
3 hours later much was seen in this mall, Peter was like a little kid going to a circus, he stopped to window at nearly every electronic or geek store. Peter stopped by an Apple Store to pick up a new cell for Liz when he was questioned about it he told them that it was for the cheerleader after he broke her iPhone during a study session.
Clothes were gathered as well as there was much modeling in front of the boys especially the swimsuit. Harry could not believe that he was actually getting to see girls model in front of him he thought he was going to lose a lot of blood through the nose. This was clothing store stop number 10. However when he looked at Peter his face was stoic, completely stone cold.
"Dude how are you even looking at them with a straight face!? You are not even human."
"Practice lots, and lots of practice and praying. Trust me I may seem fine but I'm praying hard to not go back there and do something I will regret later."
Just then his spider-sense went off, "Spider-sense danger!"
A sudden gun sound was heard both boys ducked into the dressing room where a few women were changing out of their clothing to try the next set. One of them was about to scream as they saw them drop in Peter moving quickly covered the 30-year-old woman's mouth with his hand motioning for them to be quiet and he listened carefully.
"Alight then this is a stick-up! So nobody moves or else you're going to get it."
Peter snapped his figures quietly motioning to everyone to get back inside the dressing closets. He let the woman go apologizing for that handgag in a hush tone voice, both he and Harry went inside of the dresser room.
They were inside with Elektra, "What's going on out there?"
"It's a holdup," Peter responded
"What do we do?"
Peter lifted his shirt to reveal his Spider-Man suit, "You lot stay here as I take care of the bad guys."
Elektra was curious that suit looked familiar yet she couldn't place where she saw it or was it a different color. She shrugged it off, Harry now had a backpack of webbing with Peter's close and money.
"This won't take long."
Before anything else happened Erika grabbed him lifted his mask up French kissing him, Harry whistled.
"What was that for?"
"For Luck…"
Outside a girl wearing brown combat shoes, short grey pants that went to the thigh with a green overcoat with a bushy tail and wearing bunny ears was smiling as she held her pistol umbrella towards the clerk.
"Hurry up I don't have all day I got places to be and places to rob."
'The Easter bunny? No, a cute and innocent little bunny wouldn't rob a clothing store for money would she?' Peter silently crawled towards her on the ceiling it was a good thing that the ceiling was big enough to get the drop on anyone about maybe 30 feet high, he spun his web into a yo-yo position, "Eh what's up doc?"
"Wrong Rabbit genius! HEY!"
Spider-Man webs the bag up to him out of her reach "This money doesn't belong to you little missy."
"Give that back." She pounced on him punching him square in the face
'I just got punched by Lola Bunny. Awesome…'
The girl in the rabbit suit pushed him in the ground making a break for the door, she ran as fast as she could pushing, shoving anyone out of her way.
Spider-Man quickly exit the store hot in pursuit, he spots her turning a corner using his agility he lands on the spot she turned, "That was Lorina Dodson the White Rabbit I got to stop her before someone gets hurt and might I add keep that silly rabbit in my basement; MWHAHAHAHAHAHA I need to work on my evil laugh."
A few people took a picture or video as Peter sped off using his spider agility to dodge traffic of humans. If the lenses were fast enough they would have a clear picture but alas it was a blurry photo finish including the video. Lorina looked back seeing that red and blue costumed idiotic boy hot on her trail. She lifted her umbrella firing loads of bullets causing people to go into mass hysteria running away from her.
Peter dodge, ducked and weaved out of the way from the bullets that were threatening to pierce his body. Quickly he webbed the umbrella, "I think the Penguin would sue you for copy right infringement for the gun umbrella!"
He was slowly gaining up to her but he knew if this drew out any further someone was going to get hurt. Running out of option she threw down a smoke grenade when she saw an emergency exit. When the smoke cleared Peter landed where she was he saw the door close the last inch it needed.
When he entered he look down then up, "Where did you go? You may be able to fool my eyes but you won't fool my spider-sense."
Concentrating with spider-sense he once again looked, his senses tingled when he looked upward, "To the roof then but I'll give you 10 seconds before I catch up."
He saw Lorina climbing the staircase so he calmly walked up.
On the roof Lorina burst through the door, she panted heavily, she laughed, "That'll show him…*pant*…rabbits are always…faster than spiders…also good luck…*pants*…"
She saw her helicopter that was shaped like a rabbit, she walked towards the flying machine, "I'm home free."
Right, when she threw the money along with a few stolen clothes with the door opened she failed to notice Peter coming through the door then jumping with great agility on the helicopter whirl blade. Silently he watched her as she laughed, he raised a brow.
He waited five more seconds before he said, "Silly Rabbit robberies are for felons!"
She gasped looking at the soon to be an infamous/famous superhero, he quickly jumped into the air shooting webs at her chopper. With one line hooked on her back, he managed to pull her towards him in the air before he began spinning her like a top.
"Hey! What are you…MMRRRFFF?"
When he was finished he landed on the ground with the girl mummified from toe to head only her eyes and nose were untouched, she landed with a flop, she began squirming, thrashing about, "Hmm! MMRRF! LMR MM MMFFF!"
Peter looked at his handiwork, "The webbing doesn't hide her figure at all unless I choose to do so. You know something many spiders will build webs to catch prey but there are lots of spiders who prefer to hunt, and they use their webs for other things. All spiders are born to spin. They don't need their parents to teach them how." Peter said kneeling next to her face, he stroked her cheek, "You, on the other hand, need a lesson in humility which means I get to keep you. All of these webs are designed to catch food. Since spiders do not have great eyesight, they usually use the vibrations of the web strands to locate their prey. When they do, they rush on over and wrap their victims in silk, turning it around and around until it is covered. Then the spider pokes its fangs into the insect and shoots poison into it, which turns its guts into liquid, the spider then sucks out the liquid."
"MMMM!" She was terrified he saw it in her eye
"Oh relax you drama queen I'm not that type of meta-human to do that." Lifting his mask partially he revealed his teeth, "Uk no angs!"
"Though having you on my team will be interesting, your no Black Cat but you do have skills a certain set of skills." She said something in her angry muffled tone, "That's right little bunny rabbit, you just got recruited onto my team." He lifted her upon his shoulders web she smelled of that of vanilla, "Nice perfume, it suits you. You know something Lorina I don't get why a girl like you coming from a rich family, sheltered, protected by parents with the intent on seeing their only daughter become a proper lady or successful in would want to lead a life of villainy."
"HMM!" She was shocked how he knew that she came from a wealthy family, who was this guy? Where was he taking her too?
"I should hand you over to the authorities, I should but I'm not going to do it or should I?" He said the white-haired girl looked at her kidnapper well the back of his head at least, "I don't know if you are or not going to change your habits so which means I'm going to do you a favor I'm going to lock you up somewhere where no one is going to find you as option #1 leaving you in the old abandoned rail road system or #2 leave you stripped naked in the bear wind for all to see leaving you humiliated…"
She gasps blushing three shades of red before thrashing again.
"Relax I was kidding." He snickered, "Since this is a democracy let's see what you have to say?"
He swung towards a nearby building, he set her up to sit on a unit he removed the web gag she started screaming, "YOU JERKFACE! HOW DARE YOU TIE ME UP LIKE THIS! I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOU SUFFER A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!"
"Oh really?" He grabbed webbing by the scruff of her neck facing her down allowing her to see on high up they were, she got a bit queasy. "Now be a good girl or else I'll throw you off."
"You're bluffing."
He shrugged, "I may or may not be bluffing." She was held close to him, "Listen let's talk calmly."
"How about no!" She used her forehead quickly allowing her to get a headbutt in the face. The next thing she knew she tripped off the building screaming at the top of her lungs. She had tears leaking down her face or was it upward, time seemed to slow down as the edge she was falling from seemed so far away.
Were this curtains for this young mischievous rabbit girl? Her life flashed before her eyes, she wanted adventure, not a pampered life, she wanted to direct her own way to become her own woman, and she wanted to breeze through this life. She closed her eyes awaiting her final destination, she was then caught by a string of webbing she fell 10 windows down. She looked at her kidnapper tears streaming, "Y-you monster…"
"Now that my ears have stopped ringing what is THE MATTER WITH YOU!" He screamed, "You were this close to meeting your Creator, this close to becoming street pizza! This close from hell!" The index finger and thumb were nearly touching
"What do you care! You think you can control my life just because you have powers? You think you can boss me around like some guard dog? You got another thing coming!"
"What do you hope to gain from being a crook?" He responded
"I expect to be on the edge!"
"You already are on the edge!"
"That's not the point nor is it what I'm talking about, I want excitement! Being able to live in the moment that's something that makes my heart pound coming out of my throat something my parents cannot give me!"
"A thrill seeker…I should call Daredevil I think he has as an opening for Daredevil Jr's." He said with a chuckle, "If you wanted to; join for extreme sports maybe that was the professional way to go though I think don't they provide life insurance are you in good hands."
Lorina was in his lap a little smirk said a lot, he swiped her nose she made a face, "To be honest how can a beautiful young girl like you end up on the wrong side of the law?"
She looked away, yes she has been called beautiful before but when he said it set her cheeks a blazed. He was so close to her ear that she could feel the heat from his muffled mouth, "You want excitement? I know a couple of big names to piss off."
"Yeah right…"
"Tombstone, Hammerhead, King Pin, Mr. Negative…shall I continue?"
Her head slowly looked into the blank lenses of the new hero, "Where did you learn those names?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
Lorina bit her lip the life of a delinquent or the life of a crime fighting? She took a deep breath, "What's in it for me should I become part of your group?"
"You have peaked my interest keep talking." She said
"Well, you help me with your finances and stabilize my group that I'll form in the future and you get a thrill of a lifetime, for example, secret missions when they are called for or better how becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent when we meet Nick Fury."
Daily Bugle-Next Day 5:00 PM
The front page of a tabloid newspaper, the Daily Bugle, carries three bold words in an enormous typeface: WHO IS THIS MYSTERIOUS SPIDER-MAN?!
The paper lowers with a noisy crumple, revealing the face of J. Jonah Jameson owner of the last flattop haircut in America. Jameson talks even faster than he walks: both are machine-gunned pace.
"Who is Spider-Man? He's criminal that who he is! A public menace! A vigilante! What's he doing on the front page of my newspaper?" He struts off across the chaotic newsroom, side by side with Robbie Robertson, his city editor going into his office sitting at his desk. "And why don't we have a picture?! Damn it, Robbie, I go to Palm Beach for two days and-"
A buzz is then heard from his desk and then Betty his secretary speaks through, "Mr. Jameson, your wife is on line one…"
He picks up the phone putting down once again.
An employee comes in, "Mr. Jameson we have a page 6 problem."
"We have a page one problem shut up!" He tells the man
The man returns, "They are really important clients they can't wait!"
"They're about to." He replied
"Boss I just got the word." An Asian teen came in panting, "Spider-Man save six people from a burning building!"
"Yeah from a fire he probably started Chang! This lunatic he's bad news!" He countered
"He pulled six people out of a subway car that derailed!" Robbie said
"Yeah from a wreck that he caused." He points to the picture, "Something goes wrong and this creepy crawler shows up? I mean look at that he's fleeing the scene! What does that tell you?"
A knock was heard from the window, his secretary was mining a telephone call, but mines back to shut it down as his assistant chief counters, "He's not fleeing the scene he's a hero!"
"Then why does he wear a mask? What's he got to hide?" He asks the second editor in chief
"Mr. Jameson, your wife wants to know if you want the chips or the fruits in the dining room."
"Tell her whatever the one is the cheaper one Ms. Brant."
"Mr. Jameson it's like this…" The man with a blue suit comes back, "We double up page six, Macy and Conaway about three quarters…"
"We sold out all four printings Jonah," Robbie says "Sold out?""Every copy..." Robbie replied
"Spider-Man page one tomorrow morning, with a picture this time! Move Conway's to page seven…" He gets up from his desk
"There a problem with page seven…"
"Then page eight give him 10%...you know what 5% off."
"That can't be done…"
"Get out of here Jim!"
The man leaves
"The problem is that Eddie can't get a decent shot at the guy and he been at for the last day or so!"
"Aw, what is he shy? If we can get a shot of Julia Roberts in a thong-surely we can get a picture of this weirdo!" He then gets up from his seat revealing his true height facing the window with his hands picturing tomorrow's headlines, "Put an AD on the front Page; 'Cash money for the picture of Spiderman!" He then turns to Robbie, "If he doesn't want to be famous then I'll make them infamous!"
Next Day School 7:30 AM
The school was a buzz, a mysterious figure had turned in a girl calling herself The White Rabbit to the authorities. She will be severing 6 months in the county jail for pleading guilty to holding a person at gunpoint. Apparently, she was hanged upside down near the police station with a note that said, 'Curtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!'
Many other sites of the young man were seen, Peter was excited last night. He kept to himself that he got another recruit for their team for the future. That wasn't all that was going on a new girl had just arrived in Midtown and whispers were amongst the students.
"-Kicked out of the last school and the school before that." One student whispered
"-Heard she was a thief so watch out for your-" Another said
"-Crazy…like seriously clinically…" A third
"-opened it and sure enough it sprayed all over me like she jinxed it."
"-Bad news and bad luck…"
"Even look at her for more than a second and she catches you."
"-With the hair? Is that her natural color or is she just…"
"Been spending an awful lot of time with…"
The girl ignores them all, as the girl heads over to her destination a certain jock who was at his locker. When she finds her target she calls out to him, "Hey Thompson!"
He turns to face the platinum blonde girl, she was wearing black pants with a white shirt with a black jacket on top of it. "Today is your lucky day."
"Oh yeah? Why's that?"
"Tch, Because I'm here talking to you handsome."
"Oh really? Tell me who are you?"
"Me Quarterback?" She got into his personal tracing circles around his chest noticing a certain redhead girl behind him, "I'm Felicia Hardy, I know that look in your when you first saw me. So tell me are you going to dump Miss red over there for a real woman like me."
"Excuse me?" Mary Jane said slamming her locker, she passed by Flash getting a good look at the girl, "He's mine freak show. Respect that or so help me."
"Really do you honestly I look someone to be intimidated by a slut?"
A bunch of low 'ooh's' were heard, MJ saw red.
"You…" MJ was restrained by a sudden hand appearing out of nowhere.
"Cool your jets red." The students were shocked everyone saw Peter Parker in a new outfit with darker jeans and a shirt with an Aéropostale red shirt with a red hoodie of the same company.
Felicia laughed, "Oh this is rich you need your second boyfriend to restrain you from lashing out at me."
"If I were you I keep my insults to myself Ms.?" Peter stared at her
"Hardy, Felicia Hardy."
'Aka The Black Cat.' He felt Mary Jane go lax under his grip something that Thompson took notice.
Once he let go of her, he went to the blonde haired girl grabbed her hand giving it the old kiss on the hand treatment. Felicia stared at his boy when he looked up at her with a smile he said, "Salutation Ms. Hardy, I hope you find that Midtown High would be to your liking as it would be such a shame if a damsel as yourself would lower herself from such a high stature to mingle amongst us lowly peasants."
Felicia was impressed she hadn't been here five minutes already one is trying to woo her over, "Well aren't you a charmer?"
"It's one of my many gifts."
"You're such a dork Parker!"
"And you have an IQ of a spoon Thompson." He let go of the blonde facing the jock, "When are you going to grow the hell up and start smelling the coffee that the world doesn't revolve around you nor you Ms. Hardy."
Felicia was taken aback, "You are blessed with finical stature and yet you can't even take advantage of that blessing you think money is going to solve your problems you got another thing coming or are you living in the fast lane because life is to short? Harry has told me much about you and how you like to play your little mind games. You better watch it, Hardy, I don't take to kindly to that."
He turns to Flash, "You need to grow up Eugene this isn't Middle school anymore it's high school, and we'll be facing a cruel world with people much higher than ourselves. So stop acting your shoe size and start acting your age the three of you."
He leaves leaving an impression on every single person, Felicia, however, licked her lips, "Whoever you are you better watch out this kitty is going to get you."
Mary Jane grabbed Felicia by the scruff of her jacket, "Stay away from Peter."
"Honey, when I get curious about something or someone I go after them."
"I'm warning you to stay away from him."
She lets her go before the bell rings.
