For Peter Parker, life could be described as something very unexpected to his side. Swinging between the rooftops of Metropolis, life could be far more easy in ways unlike any other. Wearing a red and blue suit, as Spider-Man, he made his mission to protect a city that needed heroes, in ways that couldn't be expected.
"Life is different. Some people say that to themselves to describe stuff that couldn't be expected. My story is something far more different than any other people could wait for. If you thought that this story was from a normal guy, who had nothing to lose, it's a lie. Let's do this. My name is Peter Parker. And for one year, when I had 15 years, I've been Spider-Man. Now I'm sixteen years old. Ever since I got bit by a radioactive spider, things changed from one second to another. I've developed powers that gave me some more abilities. But for a while, I started to use my powers to save a city that needed a hero. Okay, Metropolis has Superman, but this is a different tale of a guy who had something taught to him in ways unlike any other. And to be honest, it's because of my Uncle Ben I do this." – His own inner thoughts started to show how difficult the life of Spider-Man can be sometimes. Because to Peter Parker, it was a life he started to juggle after a tragedy. And his mind flashed back to the last moment he talked with his Uncle, in his car, near the library.
"Remember, Peter. You have a gift. And with great powers, comes great responsability."
"For once, I thought I would have the world in my shoulders. However, after my Uncle Ben died, I've understood what his message was about. It was my mission to save people. To give everything I had in my body and make sure that I could be what Metropolis needed me to be. And who am I in fact? You're gonna find out."
Jumping to a heliport in a building, Peter saw three people in black masks and pistols trying to run with a bag money in their hands. In a few seconds, Spider-Man used his webs to grab the money, while landing in a perfect style, seeing the thugs scared.
(Spider-Man) – I think you're in the wrong place, guys. Maybe you can be certain that there's a surprise ahead.
-Oh, please? Do you think we've should be scared of you? – One of the thugs said, pointing a gun to him, but suddenly, Spider-Man used his web cartridge in this left hand to grab the weapon, while gunshots started to get fired between the hero. Jumping, swinging and dodging every single bullet, Spider-Man started to go through everything, giving punches to one robber that seemed to be giant, but his force started to push through, throwing the thug in a wall, almost knocking him, while the third person jumped behind the hero, however, Peter dodged with a leap, throwing another web and stopping his foot in the ground. In this way, Spider-Man gave a kick with his right foot, knocking every one of them.
With this, Spider-Man left the three criminals to the cops. After the fight, Peter swinged through the city with his two hands, going forward with his mission and journey to protect Metropolis as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. After all of this fight, Peter started to daydream, in ways he couldn't expect. Going back to school in his first day, and to be honest, finding his friends once again.
And the daydream continued as his Aunt May started to drive her car to the Metropolis High School, as part of a brand new day and school year. In ways she couldn't expect, part of her soul always had pride of her nephew. Working and at the same time, trying to keep things more balanced in the school. Something very unexpected.
(May) – Are you excited for your first day of school, Peter?
(Peter) – If you mean see some old friends and the troubles ahead, yeah. – Daydreaming, he saw himself as part of the trouble in the eyes of Flash Thompson and the popular group, seeing as how things would go forward in his side. However, Peter knew he had friends to hold on.
(May) – Well, I know that some people are trying to get on your side, but you have something your colleagues don't sometimes. The ability to do something better.
(Peter) – Aunt May, can you turn up the volume, just a little bit? – Seeing the news in the car, Peter started to see something very unexpeted. A footage of a new heroine in the city of Metropolis.
-Many wonder about the actions of these superheroes that have been popping up all over town. More precisely, in a way that they cannot even imagine. It has been one year after the vigilante known only as Spider-Man showed up and made his presence by doing actions and goods every single day. But some aren't that hopeful, seeing that someday, this mysterious vigilante may turn against the city when we less expect. But we've received a new footage, that will leave all of you surprised. – Peter started to see wht happened, showing what could be a alien with tentacles, with one of them being cut down by a mysterious girl with a sword. – But of all the heroes, there is only one question on the minds of all the citizens of Metropolis: Who is this Wonder Woman? What is her true mission in our city?
(Peter) – Just when I thought things couldn't become more confused. – Stopping at the school, Peter just gave a smile back to her aunt, feeling optimist and seeing his two best friends near them. Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones.
(May) – Remember: If you're gonna be late to return home, call me, all right?
(Peter) – Sure, Aunt May. I'll remember to call you.
(May) – Happy first day of class, Peter! – Walking to Ned and Michelle, he hugged his friends, with a smile on his face, feeling very happy about it.
(Ned) – How did your vacation go, buddy?
(Peter) – Same as usual, Ned.
(Michelle) – So the three of us did nothing? – Giving a little laugh to Peter, she could see the coincidence between them. – That could be easy, considering that if we knew about it, then we've could done nothing together. – However, to Peter, that wouldn't be true, considering his another job as Spider-Man. Then, turning around, he hit a red-haired girl, throwing her books on the ground.
(Peter) – Sorry, I didn't looked!
-No problem. To be honest, it's my first day too. – Giving a hand to the boy, Peter helped the girl back up and picked every one of her books, putting them into her bag.
(Michelle) – I don't think we've seen you around our school.
-New girl. Transferred in the middle of the school year. My dad had to take a new job, and part of it had to be a change of city.
(Peter) – So we can be your first friends around here. I'm Peter, by the way. – Extending his right hand, the girl shook her hand with the boy.
-Barbara Gordon.
(Peter) – These are my friends, Ned and Michelle.
(Michelle) – And to me, it's very good to know some of the new students around.
(Barbara) – So you can make some jokes around them? – Surprised, she laughed, turning his attention to Ned. – And you seem to be good with computers, Ned.
(Ned) – How did you...?
(Barbara) – It's part of my abilities. I can know some things that the people around me know. It's like I'm a detective in training. And I also have some photographic memory. Can you tell me what do you think about the heroes in this city?
(Peter) – There is something about them that can surprise you in ways, very ways. – Suddenly, another girl hit Barbara and Peter, leaving her backpack hit the ground. – Are you okay?
-I'm gonna be. – The four members of the group helped the girl, giving her backpack and started to look to the doors. – Thank you.
Then, after that, another girl, with purple hair and with a rich style, walked off a limousine, looking with a great convincement ahead of her.
-Zee, daughter, you're forgetting your purse!
(Zee) – Thanks, dad! – The purple-haired girl walked, looking forward to her first day of class, while at the same time, Peter looked to Barbara, confused.
(Peter) – Are you thinking exactly what I'm thinking?
(Barbara) – That this story is becoming very confusing? Yes.
Then, seeing a blond-haired girl leaving a car, using some force to close it, and passing between the group, it was clear that this was becoming very unusual to see now.
Walking with Barbara through the halls, Peter, Ned and Michelle looked to another girl, using green clothes, talking with another boy, while seeing some very unexpected stuff around them, trying to understand what could happen now.
(Barbara) – Hey, Peter. I need your help with something. With the three of you in fact.
(Michelle) – Why do you need us, exactly?
(Barbara) – There is something odd between the school. And we need to understand what is happening. – It was very convincing to them, but to Peter, he had to make sure that all of it wouldn't go wrong for them.
(Peter) – I have this strange feeling that we're gonna be in deep trouble.
(Ned) – We're already used to it.
A plan was set in motion. To that situation, nothing could go wrong. In the cafeteria, Peter, Ned, Michelle and Barbara were sit next to each other, looking to some of the girls around them, while Barbara gave a smile.
(Michelle) – Can you tell me what is your big plan?
(Barbara) – You're gonna find out right now. And I'm sorry about what I'm going to do.
Throwing a meatball in the blonde girl, she became enraged, looking to the quartet behind her, on which she throwed her sandwich on Barbara, ducking down and hitting the girl with the yellow and black shirt, throwing her to the ground.
(Ned) – Are you insane?
(Barbara) – I said I was sorry.
Becoming irritated, the girl threw a sandwich in the blonde girl, however, the girl with the ring put her tray in front, dodging the object and hitting Zee in the hair, turning things into a mess very fast and turning the cafeteria into a food fight. The principal started to walk between the halls, after seeing the food battle, he whistled, seeing Ned, Michelle, Peter, Barbara and the four girls fighting with one another.
(Peter) – Oh, no.
The eight of them were walking the halls, about to be sent into detention. Peter had his share fair of troubles, but detention on the first day of class was something that started very bad to him. Ned and Michelle just seemed to be nervous, while Barbara looked into every single one of them, trying to make sure if they were hiding some secret. The principal looked to them, very nervous.
-Detention... And on the first day of school. – Leaving the group alone, everyone became irritated to a certain point.
(Zee) - I hope you all have good lawyers.
-What are you going to do? Sue me because I have a better aim than you? – The blonde girl talked, starting an argument inside the room.
(Zee) - I knew you threw those potatoes!
-Let's not start fighting again. – In the same time, the girl with the ring tried to dissipate any tension in the detention room.
- You've played more nuggets than anyone else!
(Peter) – This isn't how I wanted my first day to go like this.
(Ned) – Well, at least, you're not alone in this one.
(Michelle) – Yeah, we can try an excuse for your aunt to say why all of this happened.
Suddenly, two policeman appeared, with a girl wearing a black cloak, covering her body, leaving the principal confused.
-We've found this one down the street.
-Cutting class... and on the first day. Stay here with the other delinquents as I see on which room you're in. – The girl walked between the group, on which the principal closed the door. However, the mysterious girl dropped her cloak, revealing her cloth: A warrior armor, red, blue and golden, leaving everyone stunned in the room.
-She... she is...
(Zee) – So beautiful...
(Peter) – That is...
(Ned) – Is the...?
(Michelle) – The...
-Wonder Woman. – Barbara, Peter, Ned and Michelle said at the same time, seeing the Wonder Woman in front of them, becoming surprised with the warrior between them, until the blonde girl laughed, joking at the situation.
-Don't be ridiculous, that's not a "Wonder Woman". She's just a dumb, ridiculous girl in cosplay.
-I am not a girl! I am Diana, Princess of the Amazons! I survived the 21 trials of the Athena and Aphrodite Tournaments all by myself! I am not a girl, I am a woman! – The Amazon introduced herself, making her presence known and showing a great commitment to her mission ahead of them.
-Trust me, princess, you don't want to pick a fight with me! - The blonde-haired girl spoke, still sneering. Diana stood her ground, looking at the girl, while the two of them locked eyes, as if they were gonna fight against each other now.
(Diana) - Is that a challenge?
-For you, maybe. - The blonde stood up slowly, facing Diana, while both sides seemed to be analyzing each other. As if it was a gladiator fight just about to start, in a way that could destry everything now.
(Diana) - Very well. I'll let you strike the first blow.
-All right, but you asked for it.
The fight started off somewhat one-sided. The blonde managed to throw a few punches in Diana, who dodged, showing her ability, however, a punch hit the Amazon girl that throwed her into a wall, with a surprise in their bodies, as if they were restraining themselves, to avoid proper damage.
-I'm sorry! I'm very sorry!
Suddenly, a blow hit Kara, making everyone become surprised with this situation. With his web cartridges ready, Peter was seeing the situation, which not went unnoticed by Barbara, who said nothing. Being thrown in Peter's desk, he caught the blonde girl, with his agility, avoiding the fall.
-It seems that you also have something to hide. – Pushing Peter behind, he looked at Diana and her opponent. However, being forced to act, the boy used his right cartridge, throwing a web in her chest, however, the blonde grabbed the web, pushing Peter and throwing him into another wall. Suddenly, he rose up, on which Diana stood forward, making the boy jump into the roof, throwing a web into the blonde girl's eyes, blinding her and on this, threw another web on Diana, imobilizing her body and then, gave a kick with his two feet, pushing her behind, however, the three of them were stopped by a giant green hand, separating the Fighters.
-Stop! Fighting is never the answer!
(Ned) – You're him?
(Michelle) – Is it really you?
(Peter) – Long story.
-Yes. The answer is.. run away. – Zee wasn't doing nothing. Just applying her make-up as if it was something normal to her. The yellow shirt girl, then, dissapeared, and when Peter looked around, he saw a yellow glow, running from the fight, while he used his web cartridges, turning the fight into something very odd to them, while Michelle, Ned and Barbara. Stopping a punch from Diana with his left hand, it was clear that his strength equaled the Amazon's.
(Diana) – How can you do this?
(Peter) – If I told you, you wouldn't believe. Sure you don't want to give up?
(Diana) – I can do this all day. – Pushing the boy behind, Diana, Peter and the girl they were facing just stood in position, ready to fight again, however, Zee just became nervous, seeing all things starting to crumble between them.
(Zee) – The teacher is coming.
This left everyone nervous, who ran to fix things around. With little time. However, Zee, with only a few words, said backwards, a glow involved the room, putting everything back to normal, showing that the purple-haired girl's abilities were magic. The principal then, looked to everyone, seeing Diana and the rest of the group, sat in their desks.
-Is everything okay?
(Barbara) – Everything, Mr. Chapin.
-Cool. I... i've forgot my keys. – Leaving the room, Barbara just got up from her desk, showing everything with a smile and optimism.
(Barbara) – I knew! I knew! Knew! Knew! Knew you've had superpowers! I knew the moment I saw you slam the car door because no ordinary person would be able to slam it that hard! And you knocked all that weird science equipment off the bus, so you had some secret too! – Speaking to the yellow shirt girl, it was clear that Barbara was inspired. But looking to Peter, was something unexpected to her. – But the top of the cherry here was you. You're Spider-Man! You're one of the best heroes of this city! I didn't know you had a secret this big. – Seeing that the boy in front of her was Spider-Man was a twist that showed how Barbara was surprised in seeing a hero between them, knowing that he was acting as Spider-Man for one year. – And then, we heard you talking to that boy about something involving a Corps and this ring you wear, so we knew there was something strange, so I set up a food fight to stop detention with you guys! – She seemed to be totally happy with this development, in ways she couldn't expect. – Which totally worked! And then you guys... Well, I didn't expect you guys not to show up in the end, but that's a big bonus. Anyway, my plan was to keep all of you fighting when we got to detention and then you would be so nervous that you would be forced to reveal that you are super and guess what? I am too. I am the first... The only... Batgirl.
(Peter) – Ok, this isn't how I wanted things to go, but... yes. I'm Spider-Man. And for an entire year, I've been protecting Metropolis from thugs and bad guys in ways I couldn't expect, but I'm still trying to do something good for this city with my deeds.
-Ok, so we have another cosplayer and her friend, who seems to be a total lunatic.
(Diana) - Huzzah! - The Amazon put her arms between the two, with a smile put on her face, as she saw a certain determination before them. - At last, a sister and brother in war! I never dreamed I would find the warrior spirit of an Amazon when I arrived in the World of Men. - She looked at each one of those around her, as she explained her mission. - You see, it is my journey, my crusade, my destiny to bring the path of peace and prosperity of the Amazons to the world of men and rid it of all evil. The Gods have bestowed this honor upon me, and I feared I would have to carry this burden alone. But now, I have a sister and a brother on my side.
(Barbara) - No, no, wait... Six sisters and two brothers! Considering your friends know your secret now.
(Peter) – I wanted to tell you, but I wasn't sure how you would react.
(Michelle) – Peter, at this time, you can surprise me anytime. You're a inspiration to some people here, you know that?
(Ned) – Yeah, who could expect this? – The three of them hugged, while Barbara was looking into things, but the rest of the group, seemed to be a little nervous with the situation.
-No. When I use my powers, I get into trouble. Every. Time. - The blonde said, practically denying it.
-I won't. I'm not going to fight anyone. - The girl with the ring spoke up, refusing, in the same way that the blonde had commented before, showing her refusal.
(Zee) - Sorry. - Zee giggles lightly, looking at Diana and the others around her. Beside her abilities, she didn't showed very confidence to be a heroine. - I am an artist, not a policewoman.
-I'm not very good at it.
(Diana) - Cowards! - The Amazon spoke with conviction about her beliefs and her destiny, trying to convince the others to join her on her journey. - The same mantle of greatness that the Gods granted me, was also granted to you.
(Barbara) - Come on, guys! How can you not be excited about fighting villains and fighting crime and secret lairs and secret identities and stuff?
(Zee) - Um, the trick with secret identities, my dear, is that one needs to look completely like a normal human being. – Pointing at Diana, it was clear that the Amazon was showing that she wouldn't blend in with the outfits, showing how all of their lives were changing in minutes with this situation.
(Barbara) - Alright, how about this? You give us a little chance to be heroes, Diana can teach us how to be heroes and in return, we can do a makeover for her. Do we have a deal?
(Zee) - Well, who am I to say no to makeover?
-All right.
-Good for you. – Looking at the girl with the yellow and black shirt, the girl with the ring gave a smile.
(Barbara) – Well, I think we've managed to find our group. – Hugging the five girls, alongisde with Peter, Ned and Michelle, she gave a smile, confident. – Superheroic superheroism, here we come!
At his home, Peter just started to see how the day turned out. On going to detention, to two of his best friends finding out his secret, on figuring it out that some girls in the school had powers, just like him. And being Spider-Man was going to a stuff that seemed to be very hard in the meantime, seeing how all of things were changing for a while. Seeing his aunt May on the phone, he whistled, showing that his nephew was at home.
(May) – How did school go?
(Peter) – More or less, to be honest. To be honest, I think I've made some new friends in school.
(May) – What are you going to do?
(Peter) – I'm going to the mall. One of my friends needs a help to start the school year. She's a... kinda of a exchange student. And we're gonna show her the city.
To Peter Parker, life was uneasy to him. Being Spider-Man for a year was something he was used to. But however, the feeling of other girls with powers and gifts just like him was something that it couldn't be expected for. To him, a new school year was about to begin, in ways he couldn't expect.
"Life was unexpected. To me, it was a mission I had. One year acting as a hero. And now, my entire life was changing in ways I couldn't wait. This was my gift. My mission. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man."
To be continued...
Author's Note: To be honest, this here is a little different. I've decided to embark in the crossover wave and this one may be a copy and paste from the DC Super Hero Girls episodes, but this version of Spider-Man here is based on the Spectacular Spider-Man version, mashed with the version of Tom Holland, to give a little difference to the character. And I know there are some here who will say that there's already a Super Hero Girls story I'm publishing. The lack of ideas is making things difficult to publish some chapters, but I haven't given up on my stories and very soon, I'm going to be back in all means possible. And for the record, you will see something unexpected in all means possible.
That's it, folks! See you all next time!
