Chapter 10
When Spidey finally woke up, the sun was shining bright and a little bit peeked into his eyes. He looked around and noticed that he wasn't in his dorm or with his roommates, he was in a hospital bed. The walls were bland and boring except for a few pictures from sick kids from the past.
On top of that, pain in Spidey's head and stomach made it clear, last night was not a dream, Spidey looked beside him, was his clothes, backpack, sword, revolers, whip, and hidden blades on an table along with his Beyblade gear. Spidey looked down and saw a certain someone with bright bubblegum hair resting her head on the foot of the bed, with Dawn on the chair near by her with his gang sleeping, by her lack of moment Spidey realized that she fell asleep.
"A-Aelita?" Spidey said softly, so soft that she remained asleep. Suddenly, his spider sense goes off as there was a loud creeking noise and Spidey turned his head towards the doorway and was shock what he saw.
Joel and Ellie were standing there, Ellie has a open container of yogurt in her hand and grins on their faces. "Your finally awake!" Joel said, letting out a sigh of relief.
Ellie walked up to him and punched his arm softly. "So how's our hero feeling?" Ellie asked with a smile, Spidey took notice with the bandage upon his face which his healing activates as it reheal the skin.
After Dragoon inside Spidey's mind read their minds, they were going to stick with Spidey from now on.
"How do you think I feel?" Spidey said with a smile, which quickly faded. "How long was I out?"
Joel pulled up a seat from the corner and sat down. "Only about a day, doctors said that the surgery was successful and that you should be out in 2-3 days. But with your healing abilitys should be fine."
"Great..." Spidey rolled his eyes, not happy with being stuck in the hospital for that amount of time.
"Hey be happy you survived!" Ellie said leaning against the wall. "If we didn't show up when we did, those thugs would've finished the job even if you an superhuman spider or Ultimatrix wielder."
"It was you guys that saved me?" Spidey asked, looking at Ellie and then Joel.
Joel nodded his head. "Me, Ellie, Dawn, William, Sissy, Herb, Nicholas, and the gang hurried over when Aelita called and told us what happened."
"William?!" Spidey asked in shock. Even with the troubles between the both of them in tha past, William defended him.
"Yeah, he really concerned when he heard the news." Ellie said, looking out the window before turning back to Spidey and placed a hand on his shoulder. "What about her?" The tone in his voice is full of concern.
"She's alright, thanks to you." Ellie said with a smile. "If you weren't there, then she would be in the same position as you if not worse."
"She refused to leave you bedside, she was crying all night for you. Dawn stay with her and you to keep company." Joel said with a smile, before standing up. "You're her hero!"
Joel's final words made Aelita jump a little, she rubbed her eyes a little and when she looked up she met the smiling face of Spidey. Dawn woke up also as she smile. "Spidey!" Aelita cheered, jumping up to give Spidey an affectionate hug.
Spidey cringed in pain, but he didn't complain and hugged her back.
"We better give them sometime alone." Dawn whispered to Joel and Ellie and the gang and all of them exited the room. "Sweet breakfast!" Ellie silently cheered as she followed Dawn and the others.
"Thank you so much Spidey!" Aelita cuddled into his chest. "What you did was the bravest, nicest, and selfless thing I ever seen!"
"No need to thank me, Princess." Spidey told her, rubbing her back in a comforting manner. "Just knowing that you safe is the only reward I need."
Aelita raised her head and stared into his eyes, some fresh tears a forming in her eyes. "Do you really mean it?"
"Of course I do." Spidey smiled, wiping the wet tears from her eyes. "I'd do anything for you or Dawn, Princess."
Spidey suddenly had a revelation, the reason why he didn't he like Sissy as a girlfriend was because deep he doesn't love her. His true loves has been in front of him the whole time and he's angry at himself since it took him this long to realize it. With Dawn, now Aelita.
After a few minutes of staring into each other's beautiful eyes, it seemed like neither of them couldn't take it anymore. Spidey and Aelita both tilted their heads and leaned in for a long passionate kiss. After a long while, both of them finally separated.
Aelita looked like she was on Cloud 9. A relaxed smile is perched up on her face. Ever since she met the gang, all of them thought that she would end up with Jeremy including herself. But ever since her crush and friends are dead, the more Aelita saw Jeremy in a sibling like role.
Secretly, Aelita has been interested in Spidey for a while but has been too scared to pull the trigger, a main reason for this was because she was afraid of what the others would think about it. Now she really doesn't care about what they think, all she knows now is that she needs Spidey. Even Dawn let her to date Spidey.
"Does this mean what I think this means?" Spidey asked, as a large smile across his face as he stared at Aelita's face. How did he not notice how beautiful she is earlier?
"I guess it does." Aelita has a matching smile across her own face, she turned her head and dove in for another kiss.
As Spidey and Aelita were in a middle of a passionate kiss, the door creaked open and William entered the room and smirked whne he saw the couple. He is dressed in a red long sleeve shirt under a regular black tee shirt, he has on a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of boots. Then when the love birds didn't notice him, he crossed his arms and cleared his throat loudly causing the two teens to break apart.
"Oh sorry, was I interrupting something?" William asked, a smirk still visible on his face.
"N-No, we were just, uh..." Spidey scratched his head, trying to think of a legitimate excuse.
William shook his head and began walking towards his fellow teens. "Whatever it's none of my business." He said, standing over Spidey's bed. "Aelita, can you leave the room for a second so Spidey and I can talk privately?"
"Oh, um sure, I guess..." Aelita said as she got off of Spidey and walk out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"How're you feeling Parker?" William asked, pulling up a chair andd crossed his legs casually.
Spidey just shrugged his shoulders. "Good, I guess."
"Well, you're lucky we came when we did." William reached into his pocket and pulled out a couple pieces of gum. "Want one?"
"I'm good, thanks." Spidey said, facing his head towards the ceiling. "But why'd you do it, I mean we've had a rough relationship in the past before I saved you from XANA."
"Let me just say this Parker." William moved his chair a little closer to Spidey can completely hear what he's saying. "You and me are not friends and we'll probably never be friends, but I have respect for you and you have the right to live like everyone else."
Spidey nodded in agreement, they don't have to be friends but they have enough respect for each other to help each other when they need it.
"You have anything else you need to say to me?" William asked, getting ready to stand up from his chair.
Spidey thought about it for a second. In the past, he would've given William a piece of his mind because he going out with Yumi, Ulrich asked Spidey to stand up for him. But that was before he realized his true feelings, with their friends gone and found his 2nd soul mate in Aelita. He does still care about Sissy even though she is a bit of a bitch but he sees her in a little sister role, like how Aelita sees Jeremy.
So Spidey just shook his head. "No, you can leave if you have something to do."
"Yeah, I promised Sissy that I'd help her with her homework." William said, standing up from his chair. "So I'll see ya later Parker."
"Alright, later." Spidey said as William left the room, then Aelita returned a few minutes later."
"That was fast." Aelita commented as she walked towards the hospital bed. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, he just wanted to clear the air."
"That's good." Aelita pushed the chair William was sitting in towards in the direction was Spidey's head is. "Now where were we?" Aelita tilted her head down and the two madly in love teens resumed their make out session.
