Chapter 3

Help

Jenny Davies' ears were still ringing from the stern telling off she had just received from her boss. "I mean it wasn't my fault a jumper on the tracks made the subway run half an hour behind now is it" Jenny thought to herself but she wouldn't dare say this to her boss. Jenny loved her job on the front desk at Empire State Building. It was somewhere she would have never had dreamt working this time last year when she was stuck in a dead-end job working at a local supermarket. It was only down to her best friend Margo that she had landed this job and she was sure she wasn't going to give her boss any reason to lose it.

Jenny had just opened her emails when a tall man with funny hair and a shorter woman strolled up to her desk. "Hello, welcome to the Empire State Building, how may I help you today?" She greeted.
"Hello, I need to find the access lift to floor 129, can you tell me where it is please?" The Doctor asked."I'm sorry Mr..." "Smith, John Smith" The Doctor piped in. "Well Mr Smith, I'm afraid the top floor is not open to public access, or anyone at all at the moment due to construction works, however if you'd like a tour of the building I'd be more than happy to book you on the sightseers tours" Jenny informed them. "Ah, well you see, I'm not a member of the public, or anyone come to think of it" The Doctor smiled back. "Well, who are you then?" Asked a now somewhat confused Jenny. The Doctor didn't reply to her in words, instead he put hand in his inside jacket pocket and pulled out his psychic paper and handed it Jenny. "Oh, I'm so sorry, it's the elevator to the far left, right down the end of the end lobby. Enjoy your time here and I cannot apologise again Mr Vice-President" Jenny said now rather embarrassed. "Thank you" The Doctor replied as he and Clara made their way to the lift. "Since when was the vice-president English?" Jenny thought to herself but soon forgot about it as she was distracted by Margo's emails about tonight's plans.

The first and second service lifts took The Doctor and Clara up to the 100th floor, it was only when they got into the last lift to the top floor that they had stopped laughing at the fact that Jenny thought he was the vice-president. The lift finally informed the pair that they had reached the 129th and the two walked out. "Oh my god!" Clara exclaimed looking out at the Manhattan skyline "It's beautiful!" "Yeah, it's quite something isn't it?!" The Doctor agreed. "Hey, you'd better start explaining yourself now Mister, tell me who or what PP is!" Clara demanded.

"PP is a friend of mine called Peter Parker. A few years back he was bitten by what he thought was a genetically modified spider which gave him super-human spiderlike superpowers. In fact what actually happened is the room he thought he had entered, he in fact didn't. The room he entered wasn't on Earth but was in-fact a tiny wormhole he entered to the planet Kelissiam. He did get bitten by a spider but it was mealy a child of the people of that planet. The bite would have contained some material which slightly altered his DNA giving him these 'powers'. I closed the wormhole but it took me a while to track him down to explain all of this because the TARDIS had just rebuilt herself again but he was slightly shocked to say the least"

"So he's some sort of Spiderboy then?" Clara joked back. Before The Doctor had time to answer a voice behind them said. "Actually, I prefer Spiderman" The Doctor and Clara turned around and was confronted by a badly cut and bruised Peter. "Doctor, you've got to help me" Peter pleaded. "It's Gwen.
