I DON'T OWN THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN OR STOKED

-Fin-

After the bank take down we swung through the buildings. I was willing the ride to continue. After you get past the fear of dropping to your death, it's exciting and fun. And while in Parker's arms I felt safe. Wait! I didn't just think that. Parker is just a friend; one with one heck of a volunteer job. I was shaken out of my head when Parker said, "I can drop you here or if your up to it then you can see how to get back to the hotel Spider-man style." I looked around and saw that we were overlooking the bus stop.

"Ride the dull bus or fly through the air?" I said.

"Alright, but hang on tight. This is much more intense then what we've been doing so far." He said as he motioned me to hold on again. This time he webbed me tighter.

"Is this necessary?" I asked getting a little embarrassed by how close together we were.

"Not if you don't mind the possibility of doing your own free-falling. Which by the way, isn't as fun without web shooters. Did you change your mind?"

"Fin McCloud isn't a coward." I said, unable to think of way to get out of the position. Spider-Man began to run and web in the opposite direction. He kept getting us higher and higher. I was about to ask what he was doing when he turned around and was swinging at the end of the buildings. We flew over the tops of both. As we were soaring downward, he shot webs at both buildings. After connecting the two webs, he shot a third web at the building standing behind where we were aiming. He pulled and I got an idea of what he was doing. He uses a slingshot to get back to the hotel. The guy wasn't kidding when he said it was going to be intense.

-Parker-

So much for my plan to figure things out. I invited Fin on a web slinging joyride to see if it would help me see if there was any spark without weirding her out if there wasn't. The entire trip I felt, something. It felt exactly like how I felt with Gwen when Harry and Liz weren't in either of our minds. And what makes it harder is Fin knows about Spider-Man, so I also have to wonder if that fact has anything to do with it. I thought I may be able to figure it out if I lengthened how long we spent together. Unfortunately, Lo had text us to return for some surprise. I wanted to slow down but knew that Fin would notice and swung us through the air at my normal speed. Obviously, I thought we had arrived at the bus stop too early. An idea suddenly popped into my head and I let it slip out before running them through my mind.

"I can drop you here or if your up to it then you can see how to get back to the hotel Spider-man style." I said, hoping she would accept the offer.

"Ride the dull bus or fly through the air?" She responded, calming me but also making me anxious. I realized that she would need a better harness. I motioned for her to hang on to my shoulder and she did. I webbed her to me.

"Is this necessary?" Fin asked.

I realized how close we were together and looked at the ground in embarrassment. Normally the mask hides my identity from people, but in this case it hid the reddening of my cheeks that I was sure was happening. Before I could think my stupid mouth opened again, "Not if you don't mind the possibility of doing your own free-falling. Which by the way, isn't as fun without web shooters." Hoping for a chance to fix my mistakes without pushing her away I said, "Did you change your mind?"

"Fin McCloud isn't a coward."

'Looks like I'm stuck. Might as well get over it.' I thought as I ran to the edge. I could easily shoot the distance between the hotel, but to a web slinging newbie like Fin I should probably go as high as I can to get to the hotel. I jumped in the opposite direction and shot webs at every building that aligned with the ends of every web line. Once we began to go high enough to overshoot the buildings I swung to the edge of the town and as we were coming closer I let us fly several feet into the air, until we were being pulled to the ground. I put both arms out and shot two webs, which I quickly combined. They leveled out, and before they could launch me I shot another web and started pulling the giant web-slingshot back. Realization crossed over Fin's face and I could feel her tighten her grip.

"Last chance to back out." I said

"I don't back out." She responded.

Should have figured that was going to be her response. If I kept insisting on her going the easier way then she would be looking to avenge her pride. "Suit yourself." I said as he released the web. Before either of us could say another word we were sent flying towards the hotel. I could feel how tense Fin was and saw she closed her eyes. So I did the only thing I could at that moment. I opened my mouth and yelled, "Yahoo!" That did as planned and she relaxed. Until she tightened her grip to where I was having trouble breathing. I looked at our destination, we were coming closer to the hotel. I realized to a first time swinger, we were going to crash and probably burn. I shot out another web and we were spun in a circle with dying velocity. We landed and her grip was still cutting off my air way. "Fin..can't...breathe." I choked out.

"Sorry. And you do that daily?" She responded, loosening her grip. As she pulled away I saw a wide smile.

"Yeah. You would think that it'd get old. Ready for the next part?" I asked.

"As I'll ever be." Fin said. I started jumping around the building, using webs and different levels to get us closer to the ground. We got to the ground and I removed the webbing. We went separate ways and I saw her walking to the employee house while I was running up the colossal hotel and again connected the web to the lightning rod at the top. I went in the usual circle and shot at the employee house, hidden behind the trees. I was quick to change back to Peter Parker. I slowly opened the door to check for someone underneath and before I could jump down I heard Emma talking to Lo.

"I get that you have news for everyone, but Peter and Fin went on a date." Emma said. I know I should leave and not eavesdrop but it became too interesting.

"Fin told you that?" Lo asked.

"Well, no. But it was kind of obvious."

"Maybe I called them back before Parker did anything perverted."

"That was an accident! I didn't know you were in the shower!" I wanted to yell. But I knew that I would have a fun time explaining why I was in the attic. Also I realized that if the date was as obvious as Emma said then it would look weird when she returned by herself while I was already here. I jumped onto the roof and used the surrounding trees to get out of sight from the employee house and poured on the speed and agility to get closer to where Fin would be. I found her getting closer and jumped from a tree.

"Parker? You want me to hurt you?!" She yelled.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you."

"I don't scare." She said looking away from me. Deciding to NOT step on that land mine I decided to change the subject.

"Emma thinks we went on a date."

"What?!" Fin said, now focused on me. "We'd never go out."

"Geez, Fin. I didn't think you'd hate the idea that much." I joked.

"Sorry Peter, I didn't mean it like that—"

"Don't worry, I was just messing with you. Anyways I figured that we can deny the date and come up with an excuse as well if we tell them that I took you to give you a photographers view of this city."

"That could work."

"Did Parker do anything perverted?" Lo surprised us by asking with the rest of the group behind her.

"How many times do I have to apologize for that accident?" I began to ask.

"No. Parker just showed me how a photographer sees the city." Fin interrupted.

"Hey Parker, how'd you get those marks around your neck?" Emma a asked.

Reflexivity, I reached for my neck, even though I couldn't see any marks. "I take all the pictures from high places. There was a narrow area and Fin held onto my neck." Changing the subject I said, "didn't you say you had some news for us?"

For a second I thought that Lo wasn't buying the subject change, then she said, "my dad still thinks I should work."

"I'm sorry Lo." Emma said.

"It's nothing. This time I get to sleep in my own bed and there is a better chance of meeting Spider-Man down here."

"Wait, where are you working if the dining room has been destroyed?" I asked.

"The dining room has been moved to a vacant space on the 15th floor."

"Dudes, why are we talking about work now. I say we celebrate with a rad sesh."

"Agreed. Last one in the water is a kook."I said, already running into the building. I ran as fast as Peter Parker could. We spent the rest of our free time surfing. Before long the "seniors" had told us about some thing where they would be allowed to humiliate us for 12 hours straight. Apparently, they postponed because of all the trouble with shocker. They were offering access to some place called the office. The way everyone described the office, I got a major case of déjà vu. I remembered the beach I saw the others at and let it slip I knew about it. The looks that the older surfers gave me for ruining their fun made me want to take my camera out and take a picture of them. When we came to the office and I saw the huge waves coming, I realized how this place got its name. I would say this place is perfect but that jinxes things. Okay universe, that doesn't count.

Sorry that it took so long to update. Scheduling and mobile issues slowed me. And a little tip: if you get a chance to get an iPhone; don't. I was working on this story and took a break to walk. Long story short there's now cracks covering all my keys. And I can barely read over my own story. If you read this story or Generator I.S then it may take some time before the next update.
