Chapter Two

An Action Packed Evening

Peter wanted to cherish the moment as he hadn't been so close to Gwen since before her father's death, but knew he couldn't because every second he spent with her could be endangering her more than the last.

"I'm sorry, Gwen. But, I can't do this." Pete whispered as Gwen squeezed him harder.

"I thought you were hurt… or worse. I'm so glad you're okay!" Gwen exclaimed.

Pete sighed, "Gwen! Did you hear what I said?"

Gwen looked up with a confused expression, "Huh?" she choked.

"I have to stay away from you. You know that!" He told her.

Gwen stepped away and looked at him with disgust.

"Gwen, I don't want to do this but…" Pete explained as he watched Gwen strut away from him.

"Gwen!" He shouted.

Pete stared at Gwen push the door open before heading towards his Aunt May.

Aunt May looked at him confused, "What just happened? You say you're not good enough for her but then she's the first to make sure you're alright and then you push her away like… like…"

Pete smiled and nodded at her and sat down at the table next to her.

As the Pete's newly wed cousin walked past he stood up and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. "I, am so, so sorry. I got caught up in traffic, and there were police cars and the… the… the escapee patient, holding up all the cars…"

"It's alright." She told him with a smile, "It's alright. Just as long as you're okay. You know you had everyone worried, especially Gwen out there."

"I know, I'm sorry." Pete apologised.

A few hours past and people began to leave. Pete was sat at one of the tables by the kitchen talking to some of the guests. He looked up and saw Gwen standing up and putting on her coat.

Gwen walked with her mother to the door and shut it behind them. A part of Peter died inside when he saw the door close.

He wanted to just run up and pull her by the arm and tell her how much he loved her, but he couldn't. He promised her father he'd leave her alone.

Eventually Aunt May made enough small talk for one night and decided to retire home before midnight.

"Peter!" she spoke loudly waving her arm to gain his attention, "We're going now." She told him.

"Alright I'll be there now." Pete replied. He said goodbye to everyone at the table and wished the married couple the best before escorting his Aunt out through the front door.

Arm in arm with each other, Aunt May and Peter walked up the road to the taxi station talking about each of their lives. They hadn't had much time to talk now that Peter was out all of the time.

Now at the taxi station, Aunt May excused Peter while he went to the restroom.

A taxi pulled up right next to Aunt May, so she got in and told the driver to wait for Peter to return. But the driver didn't listen to her and drove off without her even giving the address.

The taxi driver turned into a small, dark alleyway and pulled out a gun from his inside jacket pocket.

"Alright get out!" the driver said pointing the gun at the door.

Aunt May didn't want any trouble and got out of the car with her hands in the air.

"Okay, now what valuables d'ya got on yous?" the man demanded.

Pulling off the gold, chain necklace that Uncle Ben got for her on their honeymoon, years ago, Aunt May swallowed with fear.

The man walked towards her slowly, looking suspicious, and pinched the necklace from her hand. He walked back slowly and opened the door of the car and got in.

He started the engine and drove off before hitting something.

The man got out and took a look to see what he had hit, but when he searched for a bit, he couldn't find anything.

He turned around to get back in the car and took a punch to the jaw.

Now on the floor, the man looked up and caught a glimpse of the shadow of a man on the nearest wall before it disappeared.

The scared man turned his head at sudden speeds trying to catch the Spider out, but failed completely.

Trying to escape from the shadowy figure, the man pushed himself up off the floor and ran to the car but stopped suddenly.

He looked behind him, wearing terror on his face, to see a red and blue coloured man holding a web that was attached to his back which was stopping him from running.

Pete stuck his side of the web to the wall and walked towards the man.

"Why are you attacking and stealing from an old woman, no offence ma'am, who just wants to get to home?" Pete asked with a demanding tone.

"I… I… I…" the man replied, horrified.

"That's not really an answer now, is it?" Pete asked rhetorically before grabbing the man by his shirt and throwing him to the floor.

He didn't go as far as Pete had intended as he was still attached to the web, but that didn't take any anger away from Peter.

Pete picked him up, ripped the web off his shirt and threw him to floor once again which made the man's gun fall out of his jacket pocket.

The man looked at the spider before turning to reach for the gun.

Pete was quick to react. He webbed the gun and pulled it back towards him. He looked at him and kicked him in the face to knock him out cold.

He headed towards Aunt May and told her to head back to taxi station before lifting the unconscious man over his shoulder and swinging away.

Peter swung through the backstreets of New York as quickly as he could to get the man to the nearest police station, where he webbed him to the roof of the awning and left a note explaining his crime.

Aunt May returned to the taxi centre where she then met up with Peter. She looked at him terrified as Pete buttoned up his collar to hide the skin-tight suit he was wearing underneath.

Pete hugged her and told her that everything was going to be alright before walking her back to their house.
