Yay! New chapter :) I had a lot of amusement when I wrote this one, hehe :P
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or Spider-Man. These characters are not my own. I'm just having some fun with them :)
...
"Doctor, there's a strange bug man at the door." Amy yelled warningly back at the Doctor, "and..., he's freaking Rory out," she added, while giving the motionless Rory a poke, causing him to sway slightly. He still had this 'fish out of water' look on his face.
Spider-Man sighed and his shoulders slouched heavily. "Bug man, really?" he said, pointing both hands to his chest, "how many times do I have to tell people, it's arachnid, a-rach-nid. Doesn't the Spider on my chest and the webbing give it away?" he asked, motioning to the said things as he spoke.
Amy just looked at him funny.
"Huhh, guess not, well, that worked well," he said, practically babbling to himself, seemingly disappointed.
"Now, now Rory, don't be rude, I'm sure he can't help it, there are many different species in the universe that resemble bugs, many of them rather friendly actually, you just need to respect them. I know some can have some rather unpleasant habits, but I'm sure he won't kill you... probably," the Doctor's voice traveled out from within the TARDIS.
Now, if Spidey's eyebrows could rise any higher under the mask he was sure it would show, as he'd heard every word of that, and he was not pleased.
"Hey!" he said, "I resent that! And I am not unpleasant, nor am I from outer space. This is a warm and cuddly spider who prefers to stay close to home," Spidey quipped, while giving himself a hug, trying to look cuddly. "Now, do you and your friend back there want to get down or what?" he asked, looking impatient.
"Doctor?" Amy yelled again.
"Coming, coming just gotta, get this right," the Doctor's reply came, closer this time, along with the sound of his Sonic Screwdriver, clanging items and mumbled gibberish.
Spidey just stood there with his arms crossed, until he seemed to realise something. "Hold on, wait..., did you just say, Doctor?" he asked curiously, while leaning forward slightly. But he was interrupted when Rory suddenly took the opportunity to grab his arm, and pull it towards himself, with a look of absolute fascination on his face, appearing to look at it closely and feel it, finding out that it was indeed... real.
"Hey, hey, hey," Spidey complained. "Not creepy, not creepy at all," he said, whining and pulling his arm back.
"It's...i... it's" Rory stuttered.
"Yes, it's a giant bug Rory, I never knew you were so interested," Amy said fondly at her stumbling husband, giving him a pat on the head, teasingly.
"Bu... but it's my childhood hero," he blurted finally, breathing heavily.
"What?" Amy said, suddenly snapping her head back to look at him in surprised confusion.
Spidey cocked his head on one side slightly, a little curious and taken aback by what the man had said.
"But, that's impossible," Rory said, "He's not real." He pointed at Spidey. "He can't be real!" He then shook his head. "Amy, please tell me I'm not going crazy and that he's not there," Rory asked her, squeezing his eyes shut and holding his head.
Amy just pulled a frown and glanced back at Spidey, looking a little uneasy.
"What is it Rory?" she asked intently, looking back at him and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Ah, I'm still here you know," Spidey said, and Rory opened his eyes again.
"Well, it's... it's Spider-M..." he started to say, but he never finished his sentence, because in his shocked state he had stepped forward just slightly, his foot slipping over the edge of the TARDIS.
Everything slowed down for Spidey in an instant, as his spider-sense erupted into life. He could see everything in slow motion as Rory began to slip over the edge of the doorway. Every detail and every possible outcome came to him instantaneously, and he immediately poised into action and began to reach his arm out towards Rory. He could vaguely hear Amy desperately calling the man's name, and the heart wrenching need to save him commanded over his thoughts.
He could see Amy make a feeble attempt to catch Rory before he completely toppled over, in the corner of his sight, and he began to lean forward as he slowly left the edge of the gargoyle after the man. In an instant, his arm wrapped around Rory as he half fell, half leaped after him. Turning in a full front flip, looking upwards, he stretched out his left arm, pointing his wrist back up towards the gargoyle and pressed both his middle and ring finger to his palm. A thin, white stream of web shot out from his wrist and attached itself to the gargoyle, and they were pulled to an abrupt halt, hanging off the edge.
Rory was breathing in panicked gasps and had clung on to Spidey's shoulders. And for the second time that day, Spidey found himself hanging off Bruce.
"You okay?" Spidey asked Rory, bringing him back to his senses.
"Yeah, yeah I think so," Rory breathed, seeming to relax a bit.
"Rory!" Amy yelled from above, kneeling in the doorway, causing them both to look up.
"I'm alright!" Rory yelled back at her.
Amy let out a long breath she'd been holding in response. "Oh thank God," she said, "Don't you ever do that again, nearly gave me a heart attack," she told him, in obvious distress.
"Not planning on it, nearly gave me one too," Rory replied, sarcastically.
"It's not funny Rory," Amy responded.
"No, I know," he replied, in all seriousness, nodding.
After a few seconds, Amy addressed Spidey. "Thank you, for saving my husband," she said.
"No problem," Spidey replied back with a small nod, earning a smile.
"But, if you don't mind, how did you do that?" she then asked him with a curious look.
Spidey just appeared to think for a second before looking back down at Rory and hefting him up higher. "I think we oughta get you somewhere safe," he simply said.
"Uh, that would be a good idea," Rory agreed, before Spidey started to climb back up the web, and proceeded to pull them both up and over the side of the building and onto the roof, where he gently set Rory down on the floor, against the side of the TARDIS.
"Thanks," Rory said simply, before Spidey then hopped round and onto the gargoyle again.
"Shall I give you a lift ma'am?" Spidey asked Amy, while holding his arms out to her. "I promise I don't bite," he added, moving his head to the side and back slightly as he did.
"You sure? You don't have like, Spider venom or something, do you?" she asked, while looking mildly hesitant, glancing down over at the height.
Spidey chuckled deep in his chest. "No, I don't have venom, I promise," he said, while wiggling his fingers at her.
"It's alright Amy, you can trust him," Rory reassured her.
"Really, are you sure?" Amy responded, uncertain.
"Positive," Rory replied, a little over confidently.
"Ok," she said, before slowly wrapping her arms around Spidey's chest.
"Hold on tight," Spidey instructed her, before he began to climb up the side of the TARDIS, the little barbed hairs on his hands and feet latching onto the surface through the fabric of his costume.
"Yeoo," Amy yelped, clinging onto him tighter in surprise as he crawled round to the other side of the TARDIS and carefully placed her on the ground next to Rory, who she quickly grabbed in a hug.
"Phew, that was weird," she exclaimed after a second.
Spidey just stood there watching them, fidgeting around on his feet before he decided to sit down cross legged in front of the young couple he'd just 'saved'.
He was curious to find out more about them, before a voice caught their attention.
"Uh, better go save the ol' idiot Time Lord in there before he too falls to his fate, eh daddy longlegs?" Amy said, addressing Spidey.
"Right," Spidey drew out, before standing up and swinging back once again to his good old pal, Bruce, to fetch the last weirdo from the mysterious box.
The second he touched down, his spider-sense began to tingle, and he quickly leaned back a bit from the entrance in order to avoid yet another surprise bash on the forehead.
Standing in front of him was a gangly, tall man with brown hair, greyish green eyes and a boyish face. He wore a nice, cream coloured dress shirt with a pair of dark blue pants, held up by red suspenders, with a long, brown, tweed jacket over the top. Black lace-up boots were on his feet and a brown bow tie around his neck. He was just at the end of putting some strange contraption in his coat pocket.
When he saw him, his face lit up into a nice smile. "Oh, hello there," the Doctor greeted happily, "ah, did you happen to see where Amy and Rory got too? They never do stop wandering off." He asked, with a slight edge of complaint in his voice.
Spidey just motioned to the other side of the TARDIS with his thumb.
"Ok, thanks," the Doctor said, before proceeding to step out of the TARDIS.
