The Newspapers
Connor eyed the Peter person suspiciously after they'd let go of each other's hand. He couldn't help but notice that Peter's grip was more pronounced than May's or anyone else's whom he'd shaken hands with.
Peter didn't look like he'd be able to have a grip like the one Connor felt. He had a similar build to Robin and was only about a foot taller than the Boy Wonder. A strong grip just didn't match with a person like Peter.
"So where's Clark?" May asked Martha, "I haven't seen him since he was a teenager, and I don't think Peter's ever met him."
"He should be with everyone else," she replied leading Peter and May back to the tent.
Peter smiled. Maybe this won't be such a boring vacation after all.
May was already enjoying herself, and not all those attending the reunion were adults. Connor seemed to be an agreeable person, albeit a little bit standoffish.
Martha led them to the pavilion to meet Clark. On one of the shaded area under the tent were rows of tables set up, a few were for sitting at while there others had food on them buffet style. Peter saw many different kinds of dishes, most of which he liked and even if he didn't he'd gladly eat them over airplane food.
"Clark," Martha called as they entered the more crowded area. Almost instantly a man in his mid twenties who looked almost identical to Connor turned around. "Clark, this is my cousin, May Parker."
Clark nodded. "Yes, I heard a lot about you in the past few days. You and my mom seem to be very close." He offered May his with a warm smile, assumedly Clark was Connor's father, but the only thing they really seemed to share was their physical features.
"And this is her nephew, Peter Parker."
"Peter Parker? The photographer who takes pictures of Spider-Man?" he asked, while shaking Peter's hand.
Peter's smile broadened. "Yeah, that's me. And you're Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet, correct?"
"Come on, May. Let's let the two of them talk, we've got a lot of catching up to do ourselves," Martha said, and Connor followed their lead. He didn't exactly want to stick around for the conversation that was bound to follow, he'd rather be doing something else than listen to it.
He meandered through the crowd, following his ears as he looked for Megan. Connor guessed that she'd probably be with the little kids; they seemed to like her a lot.
"Enjoying yourself?" greeted his girlfriend as he approached the designated play area.
Connor just shrugged in reply. He was neutral on that point, for the most part. "It's kind of boring."
"I saw you heading towards the drive way? Did someone arrive?"
"Yeah, just M - er, my grandmother's cousin and her nephew." Connor just barely caught himself. Before the reunion, when he'd first met Martha and Jonathan, they insisted that he call them his grandparents.
"What were they like?" Megan excitedly asked, she was extremely happy to meet new people.
"May's nice, and her nephew photographs Spider-Man for some newspaper," Connor replied.
"You mean you're related to Peter Parker?"
So this one decided to hop into my head during panio class, and I can thank all those who are reading this for that. This is probably the best turn out for the first chapter of a story that I've posted. So here's chapter two.
Please tell me what you think, and leave suggestions. I know where I want this story to go, but I don't know how to get there and your suggestions stimulate my brain.
Also I only know the mainstream stuff about Supey and Spidey, so if I get it wrong forgive me and correct me. I nee all the help I can get.
If I owned Young Justice it would not be on hatuis so often. If I own Spider-Man my real name would be Stan Lee, and it's not.
