I Alexa Cutison am a jerk. I'm also a hypocrite. I'm also an under cover fan girl. I have a huge crush on Spider-Man. Like a mega crush. I even met him once before he told everyone that he was high school teacher. In my room is a Spider-Man alarm clock and bed sheets that I stole from my little brother, Rex. I even met Spider Man once. He saved my life at the Osborn Lab. On a field trip a depowered mutant had tried using Oz to regain his powers. He was going to kill a scientist to give him Oz. But I was there and am stupid. There I was in my school girl uni standing in front of a crazy man armed with a knife and a cowering scientist. My teacher yelled something at me but I couldn't hear her.
"Stand down, little girl. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to be myself again. I want to be Jazz again."
"Wait, Jazz? I heard of you! You're only mutant power was that you were blue!" I yelled.
"Shut up! I was powerful! And I will be again!"
He lunged at me and I did the only move I could remember from Kung-Fu that I've taken since I was eight. I grabbed his arm and flung him on his back. Unfortunately he got up.
"Oh, shit..." I muttered.
He grabbed me by the neck and was cutting off my air supply. I could feel my conciseness slipping. Until a spray of semi-liquid sprayed the man in the face. He dropped me and I fell to the ground and my eyes got wide when I saw him.
There he was. Spider-Man in his red and blue costume covered with the black lines like webs. If I was in any condition to I would have gotten his autograph. But he was busy saving my, Alexa Cutsion's, life.
"I thought jazz was supposed to be mellow? Unless mellow now means attacking pretty young school girls on a field trip?"
Spider-Man called me pretty!
"Shut up! You have powers. Let me have mine back!"
"You were blue! It was never a power!" I yelled.
Damn, every teacher I ever had told me I had a big mouth. They also said that would be the death of me. Jazz stared at me. His eyes got wide. His breath got heavy. I was in trouble.
"Shut up you little-offff"
"Now that's no way to talk to a lady. Its like my Aunt always says: if you don't have anything nice do say don't say it at all."
With that he sprayed the man right on the mouth. He then punched him right on the jaw. Jazz flew back flying right into one of my classmates. Jazz then pulled out a knife and slowly slide it right at the girl's neck causing a thin line of blood to appear. I got up and picked up the closest thing next to me. A glass cage filled with large spiders. I flung it with all my strength and the spiders flew out of the cage and the cage smashed against Jazz's head. One of the little buggers bit me though. I fainted and that was the last I saw of Spider-Man.
But not the last I saw of spider powers. It wasn't obvious at first but it became easier to see after some time. Normally I wear glasses to read. Not anymore. But that's not when my powers showed themselves.
Because my school uni looks like something out of a Britney Spears video I get whistles. Which are annoying but flattering. A brown hair eyed green eyed sixteen year old in a school girl uni attracts people. Not good people. I was taking a shortcut through a alley. (Not a good idea in NYC, right?) Walking through the shortcut a man came up to me. And tried grabbing me. I tried punching him and missed. But then a substance like a spiders web came out from my wrist.
Later at home I figured out that I had Spider-Mans powers. Not Arana's powers but Spider-Man's. But after the SHRA I realized I might not want super powers. So I hid. Until today.
Today is a bad day. Those stupid wannabes the Young Avengers came for me. They had learned that I had been bitten by the dumb spider. And they want me to join cuz I'm a freak.
"Hello Alexa. My name is Stature." A blonde girl said with a huge smile.
I glared and said "get bent" I then began running as fast as I could.
"Wiccan, Hulking, Flame, Speed try following. We'll catch up." The leader said.
I felt a rush of air and saw a boy with white hair in a tight green costume next to me.
"Hey, we just wanna talk. You're gonna hurt my feelings if you don't talk to me." He said with a mock pout.
"And your gonna hurt your face." I said with a smirk.
"Huh?"
He then slammed into a building. I was already climbing up and halfway up when he hit his head on the wall. I thought I was safe. When I thought I saw the same guy again with a different costume and standing on a glowing blue disk.
"Alexa just talk to us. And that trick won't work on me. I'm a lot smarter than Speed." The boy said.
"You're Asgardian right? The spellcaster?" I asked slowly climbing up the building.
"Actually I'm Wiccan, now."
"Whatever you're name is you're still not as cool as Dr. Strange!"
I shot a blast of web hitting him in the face. He gasped and his disk disappeared. A cry of "Billy!" and a flash of green came next.
The green thing put Wiccan down stared at me. His wings disappeared into his back. I knew this one at least.
"Hey, you're Hulkling, right? For a Skrull you're kinda cute. I like your piercing's."
"I don't like YOU" he growled.
"I don't like that you're a Hulk fan boy. I mean why can't you think of something original. And what kind of name is Young Avengers anyway? What happens when you get old?"
"You're annoying. And if Wiccan's hurt I'll kill you." Hulking whispered.
One top of the roof we each didn't move. Granted he had a advantage. A huge Skrull against a sixteen year old girl.
I shot web at him. He grew wings and flew out of the way. I tried punching him and he grabbed my arm I was now in close range. Web time.
I sprayed him in the face but he punched me. My spider sense didn't activate in time. I flew back a few feet. He hit me. I groaned and got up. Maybe reverse psychology will work.
"You know people have seen us fighting. And it doesn't look good. A big green guy gut punching a young schoolgirl. They might take your Registration. Wouldn't that suck?" I said with a mock smile.
"Rawwwr!!"
A intelligent retort. He grew wings and flew at me. But my spider senses seemed to be working again. As he was flying I flipped on my hands and kicked him as he was flying. I did a back flip and beat the crap out of the Hulk wannabe. Super spider strength is cool.
"Will you guys leave my alone yet?" I asked to talking to the knock out Hulkling.
"Wow your hot in the Britney Spears music video kinda way. Can I transfer to the school you go too?" a male voice asked.
Let's see who I've taken down. These guys want to be Avengers, right? So I took out the Quicksilver clone, boy witch, and Hulk Jr. Is this guy new? I looked and saw the Human Torch. No not the Torch. Smaller than Johnny Storm. This guy was only five, five. Short guy.
"Unless under all that fire is a girl you can't get in. And leave me ALONE!" I yelled.
"No. With your powers you can hurt someone by accident. Trust me I know." He said.
"Look fire guy..."
"Flame"
"Flame. I understand that your powers are kinda destructive. And so are some of your teammates. But mine aren't. Only if they need be. And how do you guys even know about me?"
"You're on the Vision's rooster. Don't ask how cuz I don't know. But that spider had poison in its fangs. What if a power that you don't know about involves that poison? You kiss a boy and he's dead. Want that to happen?"
To bad that can never happen. No boys ever gonna kiss me. For various reasons. I looked at this guy, Flame, so far he hasn't moved. His teammates are knocked out in various corners and he's not worried. And then I realized why.
"Your stalling me. Waiting for the others to arrive and then you can all take me down? Loser. I thought you were cooler than your teammates." I said.
"Sorry. Guess I became a lame when I moved. Now stay still. I don't want to burn you."
I shot web. He melted it. I gasped in shock. My main weapon was gone.
He smiled (at least I think it's hard to tell under all the fire) and then said "You know a spiders web is just saliva right? And like any liquid it evaporates. I learn a lot from Johnny Storm. You can work with Arana. Or Spider-Man if they want to train you." He said.
"Do I have to wear a costume like they do?" I asked.
"Part of the deal, babe. Now chill and we can talk to Patriot and see what lies in your future."
I crawled down the building. I had evaded them for nearly an hour. They were by far one of the worst super hero groups. I saw the guy Speed. He looked bad. His nose was bleeding sluggishly. The none super fast or flyers were sweaty and breathing heavy.
"I... hate... you..." a girl in purple wheezed.
"Not super fast?" I asked.
"Hawkeye here isn't super anything." Speed said.
"Quiet. Alexa, you have been one of the most troublesome potential allies we have ever had to deal with. However you're on of the most powerful. Will you register with the Young Avengers? You're parents will need to be told." The black guy, Patriot said.
"I need parent's permission to be a super hero? Sure what the heck. Might be fun, saving lives." I said.
Hulkling flew down with Wiccan in his arms. I looked and him and said "And I know how much of a crush on me Hulkling has so I'll do him a favor."
