Chapter 9: Was?

Everyone stared at her in awe. Sunfire's mouth had dropped, and was hanging open. Crow put it back in place, but it just fell as soon as he let go of her chin.

"I can't believe she went after your dad!" she exclaimed.

"No, not my dad. Everyone knows that Arachne is Spiderman's daughter. Roxy was smart enough to know that. She went after my mom. My dad and I figured out who Roxy was gonna go after, so we saved my mom just in time. She then went after Aunt May. That's when I quit." Ari explained. Hex looked around.

"Has anyone seen Percy?" he asked. Everyone looked around.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen him since we got back from the ice rink. And that was yesterday!" Ari said. She had decided to wait a day before telling her story.

"I knocked on his door. He didn't answer. When I put my ear to the door, all I heard was 'I miss you mom'. I thought about opening the door, but I don't know his key code." Crow said. Arachne looked concerned.

"I'll go see if he'll talk to me." she said.

She walked from the opps room and walked down the hall. She turned a corner, then went straight, then turned another corner. I've lived here over a month and I STILL get lost. she thought. Come on! How many corners can there be in a T shaped building? Finally she found a door. It said EVIDENCE ROOM in shiny gold letters. She remembered his room was in the next hall. Then she found his room.

Percy had started looking through his photo albums again. He liked being reminded of how his life used to be. But that horrible day kept comeing back to him.

"You wanna know how I got these scars?" he asked.

"No. Not really." Selina said cooly eyeing his gun.

"Suit yourself. Now lets be wise and give the Joker the vault combo!" he said. Selina was stubborn.

"No! Go rob some other bank! Somewhere where there aren't children!" she barked. He just grinned, and raised his gun. BANG!

"MOM!"

Someone knocked on the door. He was slightly thankful, and slightly annoyed. He wanted to be alone.

"Percy?" Ari's voice was muffled behind the door. "You OK? You've been in there since yesterday."

"I'm fine." he said. It wasn't very convincing.

"You don't sound OK." she said. He groaned. He decided to let her in. He opened the door, and she walked in.She was shocked by his room. It looked like it belonged to a ten-year-old! It was a white wash room, with posters of movies and hockey players. Even some super heroes. Of course, Batman was everywhere. His bed was just a normal navy blue bed spread. Then she saw photo album scattered acrossthe floor. She looked and saw Percy looking at one. She sat down next to him. He was looking at a woman with black hair a shocking blue eyes. she was holding a boy that looked about four years old. There was no mistaking that it was Percy.

"Is that your mom?" she asked pointing to the picture.

"Yeah." he muttered.

"She's pretty." Ari commented.

"Yeah. She was." he whispered getting up off the floor.

"Was?" she asked. Percy glared at her.

"Yeah was." he snapped. Touchy subject apparently.

"What happened?" Ari asked.

"We lived in Gotham City! What do you think happened?!" he yelled. Arachne looked hurt, but was still sympathetic.

"The Joker. That must have been awful for you and your dad." she said with sympathy.

"Not my dad. It was just the two of us. My dad skipped out when I was four." Percy muttered he turned to face Ari who had sat back down on the floor. He sat next to her.

"If you tell me, you'll feel better. That's what I discovered by telling you." she said with a small smile. He smiled back.

"Alright. Since I was four, my mom had to take care of me by herself. We ended up having to move to Gotham where she found a job at the bank. That was a mistake. For one thing she was completely underpaid which forced us to live in the worst neighborhood in town, but that meant robberies. Luckily, that bank hadn't been robbed in years. Until I was eight. It was 'Take Your Kid to Work Day!' when the Joker showed up with his cronies, and tried to get my mom to tell him the vault combo. My mom was to strong willed and stubborn to do it. There were allot of kids around, and she didn't want us to think that you can get pushed around. In a way I guess, she was trying to teach us something. It didn't matter. All he did was raise the gun and smile. Then he-" Percy couldn't finnish.

"Oh man! That beets me by a long shot!" Ari exclaimed putting her arm around him.

"You know, today is the anniversary of when it happened." he said. Arachne looked at him and decided to change the subject.

"So, why does your room look like it belongs to a ten-year-old?" Arachne joked.

"This is what my room looked like when my mom was alive." he said. Ari winced. Not what she had in mind.

"Isn't it your turn to pick the movie?" she asked. Percy perked up.

"Yeah! I'm getting Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl!" he exclaimed. Ari was relieved that his mind was off of his mom, and excited to find another fan of Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Hey! I love that movie! You know I can reenact the sword fight between Will and Jack? With actual swords!" she exclaimed.

"I can too! Do you wanna be Will, or Jack? I use fake swords. I don't wanna hurt anyone." he said. Ari grinned.

"I'll be Will! Clear some space! Hey! Before the movie if we can get it right, we'll make them guess what movie you picked! We can perform the scene for a clue!" she giggled. There's the Ari I know. Percy thought.

"Now that's an idea..." he said.

"Let's start where Will comes into the blacksmith place!" Ari declaired.

They didn't even need to reenact it once to get it perfectly.

"I have a feeling we've seen those movies WAY to many times." Percy said laughing.

"I'll say! I can say all three of them word for word without stopping to think of the next line!" Ari exclaimed putting down the plastic sword.

"Do you like Star Wars?" Percy asked. Arachne grinned.

"Who doesn't?!" she cried pulling out a toy Light Saber.

"Anakin or Obi-Wan?" Percy asked pulling one out.

"Which movie?"Ari asked.

"Revenge of the Sith." he answered.

"Obi-Wan." she said without hesitation. They reenacted the scene and Ari started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Percy asked.

"What if someone had walked in and saw us dueling with toy Light Sabers?" she laughed even harder. Percy joined in.

"Hey! Why not? To reenact it acuratly, we have to run around the Tower! I want to see their faces when they see us flinging these thing at each other!" he laughed. Ari grabbed her Light Saber, and they both ran out of his room. They ran all over the Tower, reenacting the scene as acurately as possible. When they got into the opps room (where everyone was), everyone stared at them. They all wore the same expression:

Well, the first part was a bit deppressing so I wanted to put in a little comedy. I accidentally put in stupidety!
