The Spider's Not a Menace!

"I guess so, but who's Spider-Man?" Connor questioned. He knew that he'd heard that name somewhere before, but he normally associated spiders with a certain assassin.

"He's a superhero in New York City," Megan replied.

Connor raised his brow. "If he's a superhero, then why haven't I heard of him?"

"Most people think he's a menace, so he doesn't get much publicity that's good if he gets any at all," she replied with a shrug.

"Why's that? If he's a hero, then he's definitely not a menace so why call him that." It didn't make sense to Connor, how could someone call a hero a menace?

"I don't know why. J. Jonah Jameson's the one who started it all. I think he calls most heroes who wear a mask a menace, but he seems to like calling Spider-Man that," Megan said.

"Spidey's not a menace," declared one of the little kid, who's name Conner thought was Jacob. "He's an awesome superhero, right up there with Batman and Superman."

"Well then, then that definitely disqualifies him as a menace," replied Megan, tickling Jacob as she pulled him into a hug.

Connor sighed and sat down in the haystack that the little children were playing in. I'll get more information off the internet later.

"So, how do you know where Spider-Man is?" Clark asked. Peter and Clark had been swapping interesting stories about their careers. He had also noticed that Clark was very interested in Spider-Man, but who wasn't? With J.J. throwing wild accusations about him being a menace and all it got the attention of a lot of people.

"He just calls me whenever something's happening in the city." Peter shrugged. Note to self: come up with better alibi. It makes me sound like some kind of glory hound.

Clark slowly nodded.

"So, what's it like in Metropolis? What's Superman like?" he asked, taking the opportunity to ask his own set of questions. He'd never seen Superman anywhere other than on TV and in newspapers.

"Like you or me," Clark replied, adjusting his glasses, "except with superpowers."

Peter nodded and smiled.

Connor looked over the food that had been replenished for dinner. There was a lot to choose from, but he just chose an ordinary hamburger and a hot dog or two before stepping out of the line.

Megan, on the other hand, taking a little bit of everything from the table, while musing what they could be made out of.

He waited patiently for his girlfriend to go through the line and together they headed for the table. There was a table set aside for each family there, some were larger than other, but the Kent family really just consisted for his "grandparents", Clark, and himself. Megan sat with them because she was a guest.

But Connor saw that that status had changed. At the Kent table sat Peter and his aunt, conversing with Jonathan, Martha, and Clark.

"So, that's Peter Parker?" Megan whispered to him as they arrived.

Connor merely nodded. "That's him."

"Who is this? I didn't think that Clark would have a child, let alone two," asked Aunt May, bring Peter's attention away from food. Just sitting down at the table was Connor and a girl with red hair.

"Oh, this is Megan Morse, Connor's girlfriend. Her uncle's a friend of the family," replied Martha.

I am sorry for two things. One not writing this sooner. Two not making this longer. I really wanted to get something a tad more interesting in the chapter, but it just wouldn't come. I plan to have some interesting scenes soon before the reunion's over.

If you have ANY, I repeat ANY suggestions, be my guest and send them my way. I like them and they get my brain going.

PLEASE, reveiw. If I got anything wrong tell me now, so I won't in the future.

Also I don't own Young Justice or Spider-Man, if I did I'd be rich and not writing my thoughts on FanFiction, but in comic books.
