Chapter 3: Costume Shopping

New York City, Friday, October 15, 6:45 am

Mary Jane Watson was walking down the sidewalk heading to school, it was a pretty cold day, and she was starting to think that perhaps she should have worn a heavier jacket than her usual leather one. She could have waited for Peter to give her a ride, ever since he got a car, he has road her to and from school for the past couple of months. It pays to have a neighbor that has a driver's license that goes to the same school as you, despite said neighbor being now your two-time ex-boyfriend. This time though Mary Jane decided to go without him, she didn't feel like seeing his dopey, love-struck smile. She knew the reason for that smile, Harry told her. Mary Jane scowled as she remembered the reason.

Flashback - Midtown High, Monday, October 12, 12:00 pm

Mary Jane was in the lunchroom sitting down at one of the many tables. She was eating her green beans, every move she made making her groan. Her muscles were killing her, just yesterday, she and the other cadets had a training session, and it was Black Widow's turn to train them. Mary Jane swears that woman may be an Avenger, but she is psychotic, that was not a course you use to train cadets. Mary Jane sees Sam Alexander also known as the hero Nova pass by, and she can't help but scowl. Due to them being senior members and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s go to team for huge threats, as well as instructors themselves, Peter and his team had to sit in and observe the training session, so they could critique it because there's always room for improvement. Mary Jane can remember that Sam was laughing through the entire training session. As he laughed MJ had waited for Peter's quips, he always had some kind of quip but weirdly he didn't say anything the entire training session even in the critique, Peter barely said anything in fact she thinks that he didn't pay attention at all. MJ takes another look around and catches Peter in line. He still has that smile on him, as if he is on cloud nine, he's had that smile on all day and she can't figure out why.

"MJ," a voice said knocking MJ from her thoughts and turning toward the voice to see Harry Osborn wearing his usual clothes sitting across from her, "You ok, you looked like you were in your own world?"

"Um yeah, sorry. I was just thinking," MJ said

"About," Harry asked

"Have you noticed Peter acting weird lately," MJ asked

"Weird how," Harry asked

"Yesterday, during our training session with Widow, Peter didn't make a single quip the entire time, and when he was asked to give a critique on our performance, he stuttered and just said we all did good. Nothing else just that, I don't even think he paid attention. And ever since this morning he's had this weird smile on him, it's been plastered on his face the entire day. Not to mention he's not paying attention to anything or anyone around him. It's like he has something on his mind," MJ explained, when she finished, she looked at Harry and saw a smile slowly forming on his face. "What? You know, don't you?"

"I may," Harry said

"What is it," MJ asked

"I'll tell you, but you have to promise to keep it a secret. Peter wants to keep it on the downlow for a while," Harry said

"I promise. Now what is it," MJ asked curious

Harry smirked, "It's not something on his mind. It's someone on his mind," he said

"What," Mary Jane asked confused.

Harry's smile got bigger, "It's Kitty," he said

"Kitty," MJ repeated scowling at the mention of the girl, "What about her?"

"A couple of days ago Peter went to Bayville to visit her, and during the visit, he told her that he loved her," Harry said

Mary Jane's eyes widened, "WHAT," she said getting the entire lunchroom's attention, including Peter who gave her a questioning look. She blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry, didn't mean to yell." With that said everyone went back to their business. Mary Jane then turned to Harry, "Peter told Kitty," she questioned, she couldn't believe it. Mary Jane just like everyone else knew about the feelings that Peter and Kitty held for each other. But they never acted on those feelings. When MJ herself gained feelings for Peter she was hoping that perhaps she could transfer those feelings over to her. But that never happened, during their relationship both first and second, it was obvious that no matter how hard she tried Kitty was the one who held Peter's heart and love. It's why they didn't work out, why she broke up with him. One could only try so much until it's obvious that it won't work. She certainly didn't expect this though, Peter and Kitty had avoided telling each other how they felt for years in fear of the other's rejection, and possibly ruining their friendship. "H-how? Why?"

Harry smirked at that, "You can thank yours truly for that," he said

"What," MJ asked

"Well after you broke up with him, Peter was in a funk, so I decided to talk to him. When I went over to his house we talked, he asked the usual questions. Why did you break up? What did he do? What went wrong? I simply told him that you and he just weren't meant to be. After talking about that for a bit I told Peter that we both knew who he belonged with. That he belonged with Kitty. Peter was saying things like Kitty, and he were just friends, best friends. I decided to push him on this, I was honestly sick of seeing he and Kitty seeing people who were wrong for them," Harry said, he then noticed MJ's death glare, "No offense. Anyway, I decided to push Peter more, we hadn't tried enough to help them. I know we all decided that when the time came Peter and Kitty would find their way to each other eventually, but those two are so stubborn. With our luck, it would take them ten more years until they got together. So, you know what? I decided to push them together. I talked to Peter about it, he gave reasons why Kitty wouldn't like him. I gave him more reasons, that she didn't just like him, she loved him. I encouraged him and told him that he's waited too long. That he needs to make his move, that if he doesn't then he'll regret it. I could tell I was convincing him, and after talking to Iron Man and Captain America Peter decided to make his move. He went to Bayville, took Kitty out, and then eventually he told her that he was in love with her," Harry said, "And surprise, surprise, she felt the same way," Harry said rolling his eyes, "After that they kissed, at the end of the day, Peter and Kitty became boyfriend and girlfriend, and in a couple of years they will be married and starting a family."

"So, they're dating now," MJ asked, deciding to ignore the marriage comment.

"Yep, they actually had their first date last Friday," Harry said

Mary Jane just leaned in her chair in disbelief.

Present Day

Mary Jane's scowl deepened, Peter and Kitty together, if this had been a couple of years ago, she would be happy for them, Peter is one of her best friends, and Kitty was like a sister to her. But now ever since she discovered Kitty was a mutant, MJ just can't look at her the same again, and Peter, she and he had only broken up two weeks before he got together with Kitty. TWO WEEKS! She'd figured that he'd need a bit more time to heal than that, she certainly does. No, instead, after two weeks of breaking up Peter goes and gets himself another girlfriend! Did their relationship really mean that little to him, that he'd move on like that!

MJ sighed, ever since she discovered it, she can't help but be more annoyed with Peter. This isn't the first time that she's left school without him. She knows that she's being immature, but she can't help it. She just can't believe that Peter would do that. Then again, should she really be surprised? When it came to the other or anyone else, Peter and Kitty would always choose each other. Mary Jane has seen Kitty tear down one of the most popular and handsome guys in school because he tried to get her to abandon Peter. And Peter, he's stood by her side through some of her toughest times. He never judged her even when he found out her secret in middle school.

Mary Jane sighed as she continued walking down the sidewalk, she'll give it a couple more days of being annoyed with Peter, then she supposes she'll forgive him. Suddenly she hears a crash and the ground shakes beneath her feat stopping her, "What," she said, MJ looked around and saw smoke up ahead, "Don't tell me." MJ runs to where the smoke was, it didn't take her long to get there. However, when she got there, she saw destruction all over. Cars were overturned, debris from buildings were on the ground, people were running and hiding. MJ takes a quick scan of her surroundings. First thing Black Widow taught them, be aware of your surroundings, and take in the situation. Only a fool rushes in battle blindly. It didn't take long for MJ to find out the cause of the destruction, all she had to do was turn her head to the noise and there she saw them, Piledriver, Bulldozer, Thunderball, and Wrecker, also known as the Wrecking Crew. "Really, and on my way to school." Mary Jane ran into a nearby alleyway, after making sure no one can see her, her face becomes determined, her eyes glow red and suddenly a red goo, her symbiote comes from nowhere, and starts to cover her body. Once she is completely covered Mary Jane Watson is no more, in her place is the Ultimate Spider-Woman.

Spider-Woman shoots her web up attaching it to a building and swings away to do her job.

With the Wrecking Crew, Piledriver walked over to a car and picked it up, "Dodgeball anyone," he said as he looked at a group of people and smiled cruelly at them. Piledriver then threw the car at the people who were able to scurry away before they got hit. The car did hit a building making a giant hole in it. The crew all laughed as they watched the people run in fear of them.

"Good one Driver," Thunderball said, he then saw another group of people. "You guys remember that carnival game where you throw the baseball, and you knock down a stack of milk bottles getting a prize." Thunderball then throws his wrecking ball at the people, "Well watch this!"

The people looked in fear as the wrecking ball flew toward them, it was going too fast for them to dodge. The mothers of the group cover their children's eyes, so they won't have to watch their own deaths. Just as the wrecking ball was five feet from hitting the group ending their lives, a red blur comes from nowhere and kicks it, redirecting the ball five feet to the left, making it hit the building behind them. "WHAT," the Wrecking Crew said

"You know I honestly prefer that squirt gun game myself," the blur says revealing to be Spider-Woman, "You know what I mean right? When you shoot a squirt gun, water comes out and you have to continue to hit the small target and get a prize. I always enjoyed those."

"IT'S! Who is she again," Bulldozer asked

Mary Jane knew that if this were a world of anime then she would have fell on the ground. But this isn't a world of anime, this is reality, and in reality, people complain which is exactly what she's doing. "Are you serious? I've been around for months taking out bad guys, and you don't know who I am? Maybe you should take a look, I'm a woman, and I have a spider on my chest. Math time kids, spider plus woman equalssss," Spider-Woman said but she just got stares it return, "SPIDER-WOMAN, I'M SPIDER-WOMAN YOU NEINDERTHAWLS."

"I don't care if you call yourself Ladybug, I'm still gonna squash you like a bug," Wrecker said

"Ok first spiders are arachnids. Seriously did you pay attention in school? And second, did you just make a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir joke on me? Because if you did, that's insulting, seriously, I hate that show," Spider-Woman said, Thunderball then frees his wrecking ball from the building and swings it at Spider-Woman who jumps out of the way and sticks to the building, "But hey if you like it, that's cool. Just don't be coming to gush to me or complaining to me how Ladybug and Cat Noir are totally oblivious about each other's feelings." Piledriver picks up a car and throws it at Spider-Woman who jumps off the building and dodges the car. Spider-Woman flips in the air and lands on the ground, "Ok boys, let's play." Spider-Woman then charged the Wrecking Crew.

When she was close enough Spider-Woman jumped and kicked Wrecker in the face making him fly five feet till he hit the ground. When she landed Piledriver tried to smash her with both fists but Spider-Woman backflips away and lands ten feet from the other three villains who glared at her. The three villains rush Spider-Woman, Piledriver throws a powerful punch at Spider-Woman who dodges it and throws her own punch. The punch connects and Piledriver backs away a few steps. "Made of tougher stuff than I thought," Spider-Woman commented, she then feels her spider-sense go off and jumps away just in time to dodge a mailbox. Thank you, spider sense. Wait. Is it spider sense? Maybe danger sense? Mary sense? Jane sense? Carnage sense? Symbiote sense? Maybe she'll just call it ESP. She'll figure out the name later, right now she has Bulldozer and Piledriver charging her.

"We're gonna squash you like the bug you are," Bulldozer said

"I told you before," Spider-Woman said as she jumped over the two villains, "I'm an arachnid." Spider-Woman then fires her webs at Bulldozer's feet and pulls, "And you are falling." Bulldozer falls on the ground face first making the road crack. "Hope you had a nice trip." Suddenly Spider-Woman's sense goes off, taking a looks around to see where the danger was Spider-Woman is unable to dodge being hit across the face with a crowbar. The force of the hit sent the female hero flying twenty feet until she landed on her side sliding on the ground five more feet. Spider-Woman groaned in pain, "What hit me," she groaned out as she lifted her head up to see Wrecker charging her getting ready to swing his crowbar again. "Well, that answers that." Spider-Woman jumps to her feet and turns her arm into a blade and clashes it with the crowbar. The two are in a deadlock, both trying to overpower the other. Deciding to end the deadlock Spider-Woman jumps away and lands seven feet away. Spider-Woman hears something coming toward her from behind and without even looking to see what it was jumps up and backflips over it. Taking a quick look to see what the object was, only to see a wrecking ball. 'That wrecking ball is a lot bigger than what I read in the files,' Spider-Woman thought as she noticed that the wrecking ball that Thunderball used had to be as big as her. 'Something tells me that's no ordinary wrecking ball.'

Spider-Woman hears a chuckle, she turns to see Thunderball walking towards her, she then hears more footsteps and turns to see Wrecker walking her way, "So, a battle of weapons. Three can play this game," Spider-Woman said as her other hand formed into a second blade. Wrecker and Thunderball both charged Spider-Woman on both sides and swung their weapons at her. Spider-Woman dodged the weapons by rolling away, when she got to her feet Spider-Woman charged and slashed Thunderball on his chest making him grunt in pain. Wrecker then comes in and swings his crowbar down only for Spider-Woman to block. Spider-Woman catches movement in the corner of her eye and rolls away dodging Piledriver's charge.

"Impressive, but can you fight us while trying to save innocent lives," Wrecker said, just as that was said Thunderball throws his wrecking ball at a building making a large chunk of debris fall heading toward the people below who were to paralyzed with fear to move.

"NO," Spider-Woman yelled, she then took off running, shot a web and swung toward the debris. As she was in the air Spider-Woman shot another web attaching it to the debris, with a hard pull Spider-Woman was able to launch it away from the crowd saving them. She sighed in relief, Spider-Woman had no time to relax though, because her sense went off, before she could check where the danger is a car impacts her throwing her from her web and dropping to the ground with the car toppled over her. Spider-Woman groaned, "Someone tell me the license plate number on this car. I should sue." Before she could get the car off, Spider-Woman is picked up by Wrecker.

"There is only one place women are meant to be, and that's under me, taking everything, I give them like the whores you are," Wrecker said giving Spider-Woman a lewd smile as he admires her body.

"Muscles don't make the man asshole, and you aren't nearly man enough to handle me," Spider-Woman shot back, Wrecker didn't like that comment and showed it by punching Spider-Woman sending her ten feet away. The woman in red and black gets up and looks at the situation before her. She's surrounded on all sides, and civilians are in trouble, "Ok, yeah I'm spider enough to know when I need help," Spider-Woman said, she then paused, "I need to stop training with Spider-Man so much." She then brought her wrist up and a communicator appears, "This is Spider-Woman, I'm battling the Wrecking Crew near Midtown, I could use some back up, pretty please." Seeing Wrecker charging her Spider-Woman ends communication and jumps away to dodge.

Parker Residence, kitchen, 6:50 am

Peter was eating his bowl of cereal as he talked to Kitty on the phone, "Kitty I said no, I don't want to be Anakin Skywalker," he said

Xavier's Institute, Kitty and Rogue's room

"Oh, come on Peter you'd make a cute Anakin, and I'll be Padme. With that duo we'd win the costume contest for sure," Kitty said, as she buttoned the last button of her red shirt and checked her bookbag to make sure that she had everything.

Parker Residence

"Why does it have to be Star Wars? Can't we go as someone else," Peter asked as he took a bite of cereal.

"And who do you suggest we go as," Kitty asked

"I don't know. How about Ant-Man and Wasp, you always looked up to Ms. Van Dyne, why not go as her for Halloween," Peter said

Xavier's Institute

"Hm, that's actually quite tempting," Kitty said as she thought about herself in a Wasp suit.

Parker Residence

Peter suddenly hears a beeping, "Hold on Kitty," he said as he puts the phone down and checks his wrist. On his wrist a watch-like device appears, the screen on the watch turns on and on it shows Nicholas Fury Jr.

"Parker," Fury said

"What's up Fury," Peter asked

"Spider-Woman is currently engaged in battle with the Wrecking Crew. She's being overwhelmed and needs backup," Fury said

"Right, I'm on my way," Peter said

"Coordinates will be sent to your communicator. Good luck kid," Fury said, he then ended the communication and, on the screen, appears the location where Peter can find MJ.

Peter picks up the phone and puts it to his ear, "Sorry Kitty I have to go," he said

Xavier's Institute

"What? Oh ok. Is everything ok," Kitty asked, she heard some of what was said but not all of it. She only got enough to know there's trouble.

"Some trouble near Midtown," Peter said

Kitty's heart dropped when she heard that, she hates this part, where they have to say goodbye, it was hard enough when they were friends, now that they're dating, it just seems impossible. She wants to keep him on the phone. Try and keep him talking, maybe they will call someone else to handle it. Someone else can handle it and he will be safe.

"I gotta go," Peter said snapping Kitty from her thoughts.

"Y-yeah o-ok…Peter," Kitty said

Parker Residence

"Yeah," Peter said

Xavier's Institute

"Please come back safely, I love you," Kitty said

Parker Residence

Peter smiled at that, "I love you too Kitty, and don't worry, I'll be ok, after all we are going consume shopping today," Peter said, "I'll pick you up at that office building, like last time, ok?"

Xavier's institute

"Ok. When you're done, call me or text me to let me know that you're ok. Ok," Kitty said

"I'll text you when everything is over, I promise. Now I have to go, bye," Peter said

"Bye," Kitty said with that they both hung up their phones.

Parker Residence

After he hangs up the phone Peter takes off his regular clothes and his Spider-Man costume is shown underneath. Taking his bookbag Peter runs to the nearest window while putting his mask on. He jumps out the open window and shoots a web, the Ultimate Spider-Man is then shown swinging heading to help his female counterpart. "Hang on MJ," he said

Xavier's Institute

Kitty carrying her bookbag is walking down the stairs heading to the foyer. She was worried about Peter; she had only just gotten off the phone with him and already she could feel the all too familiar sense of anxiety hit her. Her mind then starts thinking about what kind of trouble he's gonna run into. Most likely a supervillain, Peter hasn't told her much about his S.H.I.E.L.D. activities, only what he can, but if there's one thing she does know. When Fury calls him it's mostly so he could go fight some supervillain who could kill him if given the chance. Kitty then starts to think of all the villains Peter could be facing now, she then starts thinking worse case scenarios. Realizing that the more she thought about this the more her anxiety is building, Kitty tried to shake away the thoughts and focus on something else. Like what costumes she and Peter are gonna get. She thinks that they'd look good as Anakin Skywalker and Padme, but he refuses. 'Then again Wasp and Ant-Man are some pretty good ideas,' she thought, when she reaches the bottom, she heads to the kitchen for some breakfast.

On her way to the kitchen as she passed one of the living rooms, Kitty hears a couple of students mummering and what sounded like the news. Kitty was ready to ignore that and was gonna continue her way to the kitchen, until she heard something that got her attention, "Attack on Midtown," the news person said making Kitty stop.

'Attack on Midtown? That's where Peter is headed,' Kitty thought, deciding that she may feel better if she knew more about the situation Kitty turned around and headed towards the living room. When she enters the living room Kitty sees a group of people. The group is filled with Kurt, Tabitha and Rogue sitting on the couch. Sam and Jubilee standing behind the couch, and sitting in front of the couch on the ground are three students, two boys and one girl whose names Kitty doesn't know yet. She's had a lot going on, give her a break. Kitty walks over to the group and stops right next to Jubilee, "What's going on," Kitty asked her friend getting her attention.

"New York is being attacked by the Wrecking Crew," Jubilee answered

"The Wrecking Crew," Kitty frowned, Peter told her about those guys once, four violent guys with superstrength and super durability. Wrecking Crew is an appropriate name for them because one of their favorite things to do is causing destruction and fear. Peter has never had an easy time facing them even with his team. Kitty had wondered how the X-Men would fair against them. Looking at the TV and seeing the destruction she has a feeling that it would be a hard and long battle. "Who's facing them," Kitty asked, because she remembers one of the things, she heard was the word backup during her call with Peter which means someone is fighting them right now.

"It's that Spider-Woman that appeared a couple months ago," Rogue answered

Kitty's eyes widened, "M-Spider-Woman," Kitty said quickly correcting herself, "She's facing them?"

"Yeah, she was doing good for a while, but it looks like the Wrecking Crew is beating her," Tabitha said, as if to prove Tabitha's point Kitty sees Spider-Woman being hit by Thunderball's wrecking ball right into a building. "Oh, that had to hurt," Tabitha exclaimed wincing a bit.

Kitty looked at the screen in worry, 'MJ,' she thought in worry for her friend, no matter what has happened between them, even if Mary Jane doesn't see her as a friend anymore, Kitty will always see Mary Jane as a friend, 'Peter, make it in time.'

New York

Spider-Woman digs herself out of the debris and stands up, "That hurt," she said, she then walked out of the building through the hole that she created or that Thunderball created, depends on your point of view. Once she was outside Spider-Woman saw the Wrecking Crew standing next to each other, all giving her cruel smiles. She grits her teeth underneath her mask, this isn't working every time she seems to be beating them, one of the crew just goes after the civilians and she has to save them thereby giving the villains an opening to attack. It's really frustrating, she's sure that if there were no civilians that she could beat these guys.

"Why don't you give up little spider, and we can take you somewhere, where the four of us will…," Piledriver said but was cut off by Spider-Woman shooting a web at his mouth.

"Don't even finish that sentence," Spider-Woman said as she charged the villains, Spider-Woman jumped in the air, her hands then turn into hammers. As she lands Spider-Woman swings both hammers at Piledriver sending him flying. Wrecker swings his crowbar at her, but Spider-Woman parries it. She then sends a kick to his chest sending Wrecker to the ground. Bulldozer charges Spider-Woman and tries to tackle her but she jumps over him. Bulldozer stops and turns around, "Bring it lug head," Spider-Woman said, Bulldozer charges her again, right when he was five feet from her, Spider-Woman jumps away revealing Thunderball who looked on with wide eyes. Before he could stop, Bulldozer tackles Thunderball sending them both to the ground.

Xavier's Institute

"WHOA, did you see that," Tabitha exclaimed as she and the rest of the group watched the news.

"Yeah, Spider-Woman just turned the situation around," Jubilee said in excitement.

"That was pretty cool," Kitty said as she watched Spider-Woman fight, it's hard to believe that is one of her oldest friends fighting out there. She's doing good, but Kitty knows that the battle isn't over, not until they're unconscious or restrained. Mary Jane still has some work to do, and Kitty is worried, she can only hope that Peter makes it in time.

"That was impressive, for someone who hasn't been at this long," Rogue commented crossing her arms.

"I vouldn't celebrate just yet. Look," Kurt said pointing at the screen making the four women look, when they do they see Piledriver knock down a billboard making it fall, about to crush the people underneath it. Seeing this Spider-Woman abandoned her two downed opponents and swings to the billboard. She lands beneath the billboard and to the amazement of the people in the living room, the spider-themed hero catches it.

"WHOA," Tabitha said as she jumps off the couch she was sitting on, "NOW THAT'S STRONG!"

"That is mighty impressive," Sam said

New York

Spider-Woman is currently holding the billboard all by herself, keeping it from crushing the people with her. The female hero looks at the civilians, "Go, I got this," she said, her voice strained, she was tired, this fight is taking a lot out of her. Thankfully the civilians listened and ran away, getting out of danger. Sighing in relief Spider-Woman gets ready to drop the billboard but then her spider-sense goes off. She then sees Thunderball's wrecking ball heading toward her. Still holding the billboard up, Spider-Woman is unable to defend herself, 'This is gonna hurt,' she thought as seconds later the wrecking ball smashes into her sending her off her feet making her let go of the billboard and it drops on her.

Xavier's Institute

"What," Jubilee exclaimed

"That's so not fair," Tabitha said as they watched the billboard fall on Spider-Woman.

Kitty bit her lip and fisted the backrest of the couch, it was the only thing that kept her from screaming Mary Jane's name. Right when it seemed like she was turning the tables, the Wrecking Crew used the civilians against her. Dammit, where is Peter? Kitty knows for a fact that his house isn't that far from where the fight is taking place.

The group continued watching the news and saw Spider-Woman lift the billboard and throw it off her.

"She's ok," Kurt said

"But she looks tired," Rogue notes

"Where are her friends? Doesn't she hangout with Spider-Man and his crew," One of the male students asked

"I'm sure they're on their way," Kitty said getting the student's attention. "Spider-Man isn't the type to leave his friends hanging like that."

"I hope it's Iron Fist, I'd love to see him in action. He could one hit K.O. those losers," Jubilee said making Kitty smile at the girl. Kitty then turns back to the TV screen.

New York

Spider-Woman stands up, and looks at the Wrecking Crew, who are currently surrounding her. Her body is aching, these guys aren't making this fight easy. She has to hold out though so her backup can arrive, preferably someone with superstrength, like Power Man, Squirrel Girl, heck despite her annoyance towards him, she'd even take Peter right now. Spider-Woman looks all around her as the four men continue circling her like sharks, giving her those cruel smiles that they've had since this fight started.

The four members of the Wrecking Crew charge the masked heroine once they were within reach they attacked. Wrecker tried to swing his crowbar at her, but Spider-Woman ducked, Piledriver tried to smash her with both fists, but she jumps away, Bulldozer tried to run her over but Spider-Woman rolls out of the way. Spider-Woman then noticed a shadow descending on her and looks up to see the wrecking ball coming down towards her. Realizing she can't dodge in time, Spider-Woman crosses her arms in an X in front of her face, and the X turns into a shield which the wrecking ball smashes against. The force of the impact makes Spider-Woman dig into the concrete making a small crater. Thunderball removes his wrecking ball, and it shows Spider-Woman's shield which retracts back into her suit. Spider-Woman groans, she was able to keep herself from getting hurt but keeping that shield up used up some energy. Spider-Woman stands up, just as she was on her feet Spider-Woman's spider sense goes off, she looks up and sees Wrecker coming down on her with his fist. Due to her tiredness that she is feeling, Spider-Woman was too slow to dodge and got punched down to the ground making the crater bigger.

Xavier's Institute

"SHIT," Tabitha exclaimed as they saw Spider-Woman being smashed by Wrecker.

"Do you sink she's ok," Kurt asked

"Ahh don't know, Ahh don't know how someone could survahhv something lahhk that," Rogue answered, behind her Kitty is fisting the couch tighter as she saw what happened to her friend.

'Come on Peter,' Kitty thought

New York

When Wrecker removed his fist from the ground, to his satisfaction, he sees Spider-Woman lying there barely moving, only thing that shows that she's still alive is her pain filled groans. Smiling, Wrecker grabs Spider-Woman and throws her out of the crater making her fall face first on the ground. Spider-Woman could do nothing as she is then picked up from the ground, both her arms being held, one by Piledriver, the other by Bulldozer. Thunderball is right in front of her smiling at the position that she's in, helpless and powerless. He couldn't see it but under the mask Mary Jane was glaring at the brute. Behind her Spider-Woman could hear Wrecker walking up to them.

Xavier's Institute

The occupants of the room were all watching in silence as they saw the leader of the Wrecking Crew walk around and stop in front of Spider-Woman. No one knew what was gonna happen, many of New York's heroes have been in these situations before, and they all somehow got out of it. It could happen again, or maybe this time they're gonna witness a death of a hero.

New York

Wrecker looks down at Spider-Woman with a satisfied smile, she gave them a hard time but in the end all they had to do was play to her weakness. Heroes are so dumb, if they were smart, they would just let the civilians die and take them out instead. But instead of doing that Spider-Woman just had to save the people and that was her downfall. Now because of that she is beaten while being held by two of his crew, unable to do anything but take whatever he decides to do with her. He gave another lewd smile as he looked at her body, even in that suit Wrecker can tell that she has a fine and sexy body. Wrecker steps forward and grasps Spider-Woman's chin, "With a body like yours, I bet you have a pretty face. What do you say, we give you one more chance? Give up, and the four of us will take you somewhere, where we will make you scream. What do you say, do we got a deal," Wrecker said

Spider-Woman looked Wrecker in the eyes, "I'd rather have all of my limbs pulled off than to ever let you touch me," Spider-Woman said

Wrecker snarled and punched Spider-Woman in the face, "Just remember little spider, you said it," he said, Wrecker then looked at his guys, "You heard her, let's make her wish come true. Starting with her arms." Wrecker then looked at Spider-Woman, "Let's see you climb walls with no arms." Wrecker then looks at Piledriver, and Bulldozer, "DO IT," he said with a psychotic grin. The two men nod and give the same psychotic grins as they then started to pull Spider-Woman's arms stretching her out.

Spider-Woman could feel the villains pulling at her arms, stretching them out, they kept pulling harder and harder. She had to bite her lip from making any noise, she didn't want to give these bastards the satisfaction of hearing her pain. But the harder they pulled the more pain that she felt. Finally, she couldn't help it and she started to grunt in pain.

"That's it keep pulling boys, just like you're ripping off a spider's legs. Go on, pull harder," Wrecker encouraged

Bulldozer and Piledriver pulled Spider-Woman's arms harder than before. After a couple more minutes of having her arms pulled, Spider-Woman couldn't hold it in any longer, she screamed in pain.

"That's it SCREAM FOR ME," Wrecker said as he swung his crowbar at Spider-Woman and hit her in the stomach making her grunt. Spider-Woman closed her mouth to try and muffle the screams but in didn't last long because a snap in heard and Spider-Woman feels the pain of having her arm being pulled from its socket causing her to scream louder.

Xavier's Institute

The group all watch the scene of what is happening to the arachnid heroine with different emotions. Some watched with anger in their eyes, some watched with sadness, some watched in fear. Kitty, she watched with all the above. Those bastards were hurting her friend, she wanted nothing more than to go there and kick their asses for doing this.

"Dear god," the female student whispered

"Vat are vee just sitting here for, vee should go out zere and help," Kurt exclaimed

"No can do elf," a voice said getting everyone to turn their heads to see Logan walk in the room and lean against the wall, "It wouldn't matter if we took our fastest jet, by the time we'd get there, those four would have already done the dead."

"So, what are we supposed to do," Kitty asked Logan sharply, "Just sit here and let her die," Kitty said trying to keep her voice under control, but it is hard when the only thing she hears right now is one of her best friend's screams of pain.

"Only one thing we can do half-pint. Pray that someone makes it in time, because we sure wouldn't," Logan said

Kitty grits her teeth, she wants to say more, to argue, but she knows it would be pointless, because Logan is right. Even with their fastest jet, by the time they got there MJ would already be dead. MJ's increased screaming knocks Kitty from her thoughts, making her look at the TV.

New York

"I bet you really wish you took my offer now. If you did, you would be screaming for a completely different reason, and you'd certainly be feeling a lot better than you are now. Too bad you didn't take it," Wrecker said

"I have an idea. How about instead of making lame passes at me, you just go ahead and fuck your buddies. Or are you afraid that you'd be the one on the bottom," Spider-Woman quipped

Wrecker looked at Spider-Woman in fury at that comment, "PILEDRIVER, BULLDOZER, TEAR HER ARMS OFF NOW," Wrecker ordered, with the order given the two villains pull harder making Spider-Woman cry out in pain. "Just you wait in one minute your arms will be ripped from your body," Wrecker laughed

Xavier's Institute

"That sick bastard," Jubilee said, how could anyone be so cruel to another human being, she can't help but wonder.

'Come on Peter, I know you can make it,' Kitty thought

New York

After watching for another minute Wrecker spoke, "NOW TEAR HER ARMS OFF." The two members of the Wrecking Crew nodded and got ready for a final pull. This final pull would tear Spider-Woman's arms off her body. Mary Jane closes her eyes getting ready for the pain that is to come. Just as Piledriver and Bulldozer were about to pull, a voice got everyone's attention.

"Coming through," the voice said, a red blur then swings toward them and Piledriver is double kicked in the face making the villain let go of Spider-Woman sending him flying 20 feet. The blur lands on the ground and looks at the group, "Howdy howdy," Spider-Man greeted

"WHAT," Thunderball said

"SPIDER-MAN," Bulldozer said

"Now why do they remember his name," Spider-Woman asked, using the shock of her friend's arrival to her advantage, Spider-Woman forms her free arm into a hammer and swings it up hitting Bulldozer under the chin and sending him in the air.

"DOZER," Wrecker said

Spider-Woman backflipped away from the villains landing right next to Spider-Man, "Good to see you female counterpart. How are you holding up" Spider-Man asked

"Better now that you're here," Spider-Woman answered, she then punched Spider-Man in the arm.

"OW," Spider-Man exclaimed rubbing his arm to sooth the pain.

"What took you so long?! I almost had my arms torn off," Spider-Woman demanded/asked, but mostly demanded.

"I was on the phone when I got the call. After I got the call, I came rushing over but these guys caused a lot of damage. People needed my help," Spider-Man answered

Xavier's Institute

Everyone in the room cheered excluding Logan at the timely intervention of Spider-Man.

"WAY TO GO SPIDER-MAN," Tabitha said

"SPIDER-MAN SAVES THE DAY," Jubilee said

"GO SPIDEY," Kurt said

"KICK THEIR ASS SPIDER-MAN," Kitty said excitedly, happy and relieved to see that her boyfriend made it in time.

Logan smirked, he wishes that he could let them watch the rest of this, it would be good for their training. Maybe even give them some extra motivation, but they had to head out to school, "Alright everyone, time to clear out," he said

"WHAT," the group said

"Come on Logan," Rogue said, this was just about to get good.

"You can't expect us to clear out now," Jubilee said

"Not while the fight is about to start," Tabitha said

"I do. School starts soon, and if you're late then it's my head which means it's your heads during training," Logan said, laying in his threat, "Now get moving."

The group all groaned but cleared out not wanting to face tougher training sessions. Finally, the last person left, and the room was empty except for Logan and Kitty who was still standing in her spot. She wasn't sure whether to leave or not. She wants to stay and watch the fight, that way she'll know what's going on with Peter and she won't be in the dark. She can stand to deal with some extra training.

Logan observes Kitty for a moment, he notices that her body is tense, her hands have a death grip on the back of the couch, and her face is filled with fear and worry, and he has a feeling he knows who it's for. Logan walks over to his protégé of only a couple of weeks. He still can't believe he let himself get talked into that. Logan stopped next to Kitty and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Everyone includes you half-pint," he said

Kitty looks at Logan and then at the screen. What should she do? She really wants to stay and know what happens. She wants to know if Peter comes out ok, so she can be ready.

Logan sees the conflict within Kitty, "I've known Webs for a long time," he said getting Kitty's attention on him. "That kid, has to be one of the most annoying people I have ever met, but you know what, he's good. Heck he may even be the best of us. Trust me when I tell you this kid. You're gonna see him again. He and that Spider-Woman are gonna make it out of this, and you're gonna see him again. Then you and he can go off and do whatever it is that you two do now," Logan said, he can see that his last sentence made Kitty blush. What did she think that she could keep the relationship a secret from him? He could smell Parker all over her.

Kitty looks between the screen and Logan, she then sighs. She has to trust Peter like he trusts her. Peter said that he'd text her when he gets done, she'll be sure to keep an eye on her phone. Reluctantly Kitty turns away and starts to head out of the room. She stops before she exits though, "Logan," Kitty said

"Yeah," Logan said

Kitty glances at Logan, "Thanks," she said, Kitty then exits the room, and heads to the kitchen, she'll have to grab a cereal bar or something for the road.

"No problem," Logan said as he watched Kitty leave, he then looks at the TV and sees Spider-Man and Spider-Woman get ready to fight. "Take em down Webs." Logan then goes up to the TV and turns it off. He doesn't need to watch; he knows that Parker is capable of beating those four. He'll come out of this; Logan's sure of it. Logan then walks out of the room and heads to the van to take the students to school.

New York

Spider-Man looks at Spider-Woman and notices she is roughed up, "You look terrible," he comments

"Thanks Tiger, that's exactly what every girl wants to hear from a guy," Spider-Woman said

"I'm just saying," Spider-Man said raising his hands in surrender, "Bet you wish that you had waited for me now, heh?"

"Honestly? Kind of wish I did wait for you, at least I wouldn't be the only one beat up," Spider-Woman said

"Seriously though, how are you doing," Spider-Man asked, cutting the banter.

"My body aches, my head is pounding, and my right arm is dislocated. This certainly isn't gonna go down on my list of best days ever," Spider-Woman reported

"Can't do much about the aching body, and pounding head, but I can reset your arm," Spider-Man offered, he then looked at the Wrecking Crew who looked angry, "Because it looks like you're gonna need the other arm."

Spider-Woman sighed, "If you have too," she said, Spider-Man walks closer to Spider-Woman and grabs her arm with both hands.

"You ready," Spider-Man asked

Spider-Woman takes a few deep breaths, "Hang on a moment, this is my first time. Be gentle," Spider-Woman said

"Did you really just say that," Spider-Man asked getting a shrug in response, he sighed, "Fine, you ready?"

"Yeah, on three," Spider-Woman said getting a nod from Spider-Man.

"Here we go. One…," Spider-Man said, a crack is then heard.

"SON OF A BITCH," Spider-Woman said as she felt the pain of having her shoulder reset. "AHHHH, SHIT."

"You ok," Spider-Man asked

Spider-Woman turned to Spider-Man, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TWO AND THREE," she demanded

"I thought doing it when you least expected would make it seem less painful," Spider-Man said

"IT DIDN'T WORK," Spider-Woman said as she punched Spider-Man in the arm hard. "Ah." Spider-Woman rotated her arm, groaning a bit.

"You ok," Spider-Man asked

"Yeah, I'm ok, pissed at you, but ok," Spider-Woman answered

"Good because it looks like talking is over," Spider-Man said as he looked at the Wrecking Crew.

"Every time I wound up beating these guys, they always used civilians to turn the tables against me," Spider-Woman said

"Then let's keep them away from civilians. There are two of us now, we can take them," Spider-Man said, the two heroes turn to the villains and saw them walking towards them, "I'm gonna ask again. Are you ready?"

Spider-Woman nodded, "I just caught my second wind, let's do this," she said

"Alright, GO," Spider-Man ordered as he and Spider-Woman shot their webs and swung towards the villains who charged them. Spider-Man released his web and free fell, he then smashed his feet against Wrecker's head sending him to the ground. Bulldozer comes charging Spider-Man who dodges by jumping over the villain. "Wanna know the bad thing about wearing a metal hat," Spider-Man then lands on the ground, "It conducts electricity," Spider-Man then shoots his electro webs at Bulldozer's head tasing him making the villain scream in pain as he felt the electricity going from his head to all over his body. The metal on his head, only increasing the power. After a few seconds, Bulldozer falls to the ground unconscious, Spider-Man webs the villain to the ground. "One down."

Thunderball throws his wrecking ball at the charging Spider-Woman who flips over the sphere, the heroine then kicks Thunderball in the face. Piledriver throws a punch at Spider-Woman, but she steps left and punches Piledriver under the chin sending him 5 feet in the air. Spider-Woman's spider sense goes off and she sees the wrecking ball just in time. Spider-Woman cartwheels out of the way, dodging the ball. Thunderball grunts as he pulls the ball back to him, and throws it at Spider-Woman again, "You know I am really sick of that ball," Spider-Woman said, she brought her arms together and together they transformed into what looked like a giant baseball bat. "Batter up," Spider-Woman swings the bat with all her strength and sends the wrecking ball back at an unsuspecting Thunderball who gets hit and thrown into a building. "That felt good." Piledrive gets up and charges Spider-Woman again and tries to smash her, but she rolls under it.

The fight lasts for some time, how long the spider themed heroes aren't sure. What they are sure of is that they are late for school.

Spider-Man, is currently dodging swings of Wrecker's crowbar. Wrecker swings right, Spider-Man dodges left, swing left, dodge right, horizontal swing, duck, swings low, jump. Every time Spider-Man dodged Wrecker was getting angrier, the bug wouldn't stay still. "Why…won't…you…stay…still," Wrecker said between every swing.

"Agility of a spider…what can you do," Spider-Man said as he dodged Wrecker's swings, he could tell that he was making the villain mad which is exactly what he wants. The angrier he gets the more focused he is on trying to kill him which keeps him away from the civilians. All Spider-Man has to do is make sure he doesn't get hit with that crowbar. Wrecker slams his crowbar downward and Spider-Man jumps away dodging it. Behind him Spider-Woman back-handsprings toward him. "How are you doing," Spider-Man asks

"A lot better than last time, though I am worried that they'll go after the civilians," Spider-Woman said

"Just piss them off enough where they want nothing more than to rip off your head, and everything will be fine," Spider-Man said

"You said that way too nonchalantly," Spider-Woman commented

"You do this as long as I have you pretty much accept the fact that people want to kill you," Spider-Man said

"You know, sometimes I wonder if it was a smart idea to join the academy," Spider-Woman said

"Don't pretend you don't like it," Spider-Man said

"I don't know what you're talking about," Spider-Woman said smiling under her mask, ok she may have been hesitant at first, but despite the tough training sessions and having to sit in a classroom after school, she is glad that she joined. She hates to admit it, but Peter was right, she has great power, and she has a responsibility to use that power to help others. And now she doesn't think that she could stop doing this, every time she sees trouble, she can't just stand around and do nothing. Especially if it's her friends that are in trouble. "You know that we're late for school, right?"

"Oh yeah, so what do you say we finish these guys off, so we can get there," Spider-Man said

"Right ahead of ya," Spider-Woman said as she charged Piledriver who tries to hit her with a haymaker. Spider-Woman slides on her knees dodging the haymaker, using her flexibility to backbend, Spider-Woman then aims both hands at Piledriver's legs and shoots her webs. The webs connect to the unsuspecting villain's legs, Spider-Woman then jumps to her feet and with all of her might pulls the webs. Piledriver is lifted in the air and is slammed down on the ground. Spider-Woman then pulls on the webs again making Piledriver fly towards her. Once he was in range Spider-Woman hits the villain with a haymaker knocking him out. "Lesson one, never try to hit a girl with a haymaker."

Wrecker throws a punch at Spider-Man, but the webbed hero dodges the punch and throws a punch himself which Wrecker dodges he then punches Spider-Man in the gut making him grunt, Wrecker then sucker punches him in the face making him fall on the ground. "Game over web head," Wrecker said as he tries to slam his crowbar on Spider-Man's head. Spider-Man rolls away dodging the crowbar and stands up shooting a web at Wrecker's face.

"But the game's just getting started Wrecker old buddy," Spider-Man said as he upper cut's Wrecker in the air, "And here comes an old player." Spider-Woman then swings to the scene and gives Wrecker a double kick to the face sending the villain to the ground, knocking him out. Spider-Woman lets go of her web and lands next to Spider-Man, together they shoot their webs at Wrecker, making sure that he can't escape.

Just then Spider-Man and Spider-Woman hear jets, they look up to see Quin-jets coming down, "Really, now they come in," Spider-Woman said

"We all have our jobs," Spider-Man answered, the jets land in front of the spider themed heroes, the lead jet opens and out came Phil Coulson.

Fury's second in command walks up to the spider themed heroes, "Excellent job here, you two," Coulson said, he then looked around, "Kind of wish there would be less collateral damage though."

"Yeah, well to be fair, a lot of this was done when we got here," Spider-Woman said

"I know, still it seems that we may need to set up more lessons on how to minimize collateral damage," Coulson commented making Spider-Woman groan.

Spider-Man elbowed Spider-Woman, "Hey be thankful it's only classes, me and my team actually had to do damage control, because we let these guy make too much of a mess," Spider-Man commented.

"Anyway, we'll take it from here. Don't worry about missing first period, the two of you have been excused. Head to the nurse's office, the nurse there works for S.H.I.E.L.D.," Coulson said, he looked at Spider-Man, "She has a set of clothes for you to change into." Coulson then looked at Spider-Woman, "And she'll take a look at your injuries."

"Is there anyone in the school, who doesn't work for S.H.I.E.L.D.," Spider-Man comments making Coulson smile.

"We have S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in all necessary positions, now get going you two, you're only excused for first period. Second period is all on you," Coulson said

"Gotcha," Spider-Man said

"See ya Coulson," Spider-Woman said as they turned around and shot their webs.

"Wait, I need to get my backpack, I left on a roof," Spider-Man said as they swung away.

"Make it quick, I don't want to be late," Spider-Woman said

Bayville High School, 9:15 am, 2nd period, Precalculus class

Kitty was in Precalculus class taking notes of her teacher's lecture, there is a test next week and she needs everything she can get. As she was writing her notes, Kitty felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Taking a look around, Kitty takes out her phone and puts it under her desk so no one can see it. She unlocks her phone and sees that she has a text. She opens the text and sees that Peter texted her.

'I'm alright,' the text says

Seeing the text, Kitty gives a sigh of relief, thank goodness he's ok. She was worried, Kitty looks down at her phone and sends a quick text.

'I'm glad, I'll see you after school,' she texts

'Ok, see you after school. Love you,' Peter texts

'Love you too,' Kitty texts, she then quickly exits out of the app, locks her phone puts it in her pocket and gets back to class. Knowing that Peter is safe, she is in a much better mood.

Midtown High School, 9:15 am, 2nd period, History class

'Love you too,' Kitty texts

Peter smiles as he sees the text. He locks his phone, puts it in his pocket, and turns his attention back to his teacher. They were going over World War II and how the US actually teamed up with Dracula of all people. Peter doesn't know how Captain Rogers worked with that guy or how he slept at night. Peter sure wouldn't, he'd be too scared that the guy would try and suck his blood or something. Peter looked at the clock, it's second period, he has seven hours left till he can get out of here and see Kitty. He'll have to remember to head home and pick up his car.

Bayville High School, 10:55 am, 4th period, Lunch

Kitty was in the lunchroom, waiting in line, trying to ignore the tense atmosphere that she found herself in. She could feel the daggers that are being glared at her from behind. "Freak," Kitty hears from behind her, she sighed, people may be giving mutants a chance but there are still those out there who want nothing to do with them and would be more than happy if she and every other mutant just died off. After a couple more minutes of waiting in line, Kitty finally got her lunch, which consisted of some peas, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and a white milk for her drink.

Kitty walked around the lunchroom trying to spot her friends, there are so many people here it's hard to find them. It's not like they have assigned seats or anything. After some looking around Kitty spots Jubilee waving her hand at her. Kitty smiles and walks over to the table where her friends are sitting. Once she is there, she can see that the ones at the table are Jubilee, Tabitha, Rogue, and Bobby. "Where is Kurt and Amanda," Kitty asked as she sat down between Rogue and Jubilee.

"They decided to get a table of their own so they can pretend to be on a date," Tabitha answered

"That's sweet," Kitty said as she picked up her fork and started to eat her peas.

"Disgusting if ya ask meh," Rogue said as she looked at the table where Kurt and Amanda were sitting at acting all lovey dovey toward each other. "Can't they do that stuff aftah school."

"Quit complaining Rogue, let those two enjoy themselves. We should be happy for Kurt. I mean he found someone who was able to look past his physical mutation. That's very uncommon," Kitty said

"Ahh am happy for him. Ahh'd just rather not see my brothah being all ova a girl," Rogue said

"You used to not care," Kitty said

"That was before Ahh found out he was my brothah," Rogue said

"Well would you look at that, Rogue being an overprotective sister," Bobby joked making Kitty and Tabitha giggle while Rogue scowled. Bobby smiled at making Kitty giggle, she was really cute when she giggled like that. He makes a note to try and make Kitty laugh more often.

"Keep talking Drake, Ahh have no qualms of absorbing you, and leaving you here for the janitors." Rogue said making Bobby shut up…for now.

Kitty notice that Jubilee hasn't said anything and looked to see what was up, only to see Jubilee on her phone, "What's up Jubilee," Kitty asked

"Heh," Jubilee said looking up, "Sorry, I was just watching that fight that Spider-Man and Spider-Woman were in this morning."

"Really," the group asked

"Yeah, check it out," Jubilee said as she showed the video of the fight between the spider themed heroes and the Wrecking Crew.

"Oh yeah," Tabitha said as she saw Spider-Woman hit Thunderball's wrecking ball right back at him, "That was cool."

Kitty winced when she saw Peter get a punch in the gut and face by Wrecker, but soon found herself relieved and happy to see her boyfriend uppercutting Wrecker in the air and Spider-Woman swinging in giving the villain a double kick knocking him out.

"That's some teamwork. They must train togethah," Rogue said

'You have no idea Rogue,' Kitty thought

"I wonder where they train, maybe in a cave or something," Bobby joked

'More like a tri-carrier flying over 2,000 feet in the air above us,' Kitty thought

"That was an awesome fight," Tabitha commented

Jubilee sighed, "Too bad Iron Fist wasn't there," she said disappointed

"Someone's got a crush," Tabitha said making Jubilee blush.

"What? No, I just, I respect him, he's a great hero, he's helped save the world a bunch of times. I mean yeah, he looks really cool in his suit, especially his new one. Not to mention he's muscular, and handsome, he has a sexy voice, and I do wonder what other ways his flexibility can be used for," Jubilee said trailing off, a cough cuts her off though, making her stop and look around, to see all her friends looking at her with amused smiles making Jubilee blush deeper. "But that does not mean that I have a crush on him."

"Sure, it doesn't," Rogue said

"Why are we even talking about my crush, why not talk about Kitty's crush on Spider-Man. I mean it was her celeb crush that saved the day," Jubilee said trying to get the attention off her.

"Wait what," Kitty said

"So, you do admit that you have a crush on Iron Fist," Tabitha said making Jubilee blush, "She is right though." Tabitha then turns to Kitty, "So Kitty how does it feel to see your hero save the day once again?"

Kitty sighed as she was asked this, due to her worry about Peter because of his activities as Spider-Man, Kitty has shown that worry and happiness a multitude of times when a situation was shown on TV or heard on a radio. When something bad happened, she'd show her worry or fear. When something good happened, she'd show her happiness or excitement. The others have noticed her reactions. Because of this everyone immediately believed that she was a fan of Spider-Man and that she was crushing on him. Considering she couldn't tell them the truth and that was that Spider-Man was her best friend, she had to let them believe that. She even bought some Spider-Man posters and hung them up on her walls to sell it. They are half right though, she did technically have a crush on Spider-Man, the only thing was that it wasn't the hero she had a crush on, it was the man, the person behind the mask, that's who she loves. She wonders how they would react if she told them her real feelings for Spider-Man, that if she could she'd burn every costume, destroy every web shoot along with anything and everything remotely related to the arachnid hero. "It was cool, like I always say, Spider-Man is the greatest hero out there. No one can beat him, he's the definition of heroism," she said

"Watch out Kitty, you're starting to sound lahhk a crazed fan," Rogue said chuckling

"Hey, I got an idea, what if we set Kitty up with Spider-Man. They'd make such a great couple," Jubilee said

'Doing that already,' Kitty thought, she finds it funny, if only they knew that she was already dating Spider-Man. "Tell you what Jubilee, I'll ask out Spider-Man if you makeout with Iron Fist," Kitty said making Jubilee blush and stutter. Everyone laughed at the reaction.

Midtown Highschool 12:00 pm, 5th period, Lunch

Peter is sitting at a lunch table with his team, they were all talking about what had been going on so far. "Do you guys think that it's true, Fury setting up more teams," Ava asked

"Good question, with Fury you never know," Peter said

"I doubt his old man would be too happy about that, he was always objecting to Fury on training us. What was it he said," Sam asked

"We're a bunch of kids," Danny said

"Loose cannons," Ava said

"We don't know how to follow orders," Luke said

"And we should quit and let the adults handle it," Peter finished

"Swear, that guy can be a real dick," Ava said

"You know that if new teams are formed then we're most likely gonna be expected to train them right. Show them the ropes," Luke said

Sam groaned, "Why can't the Avengers train the newbies? Why do we have to," Sam asked

"As senior members of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is our duty to train the cadets. Just as seeds need the soil, water and sunlight to grow. The cadets need us to train them. We must be the soil, water and sunlight that help the cadets grow into heroes," Danny said

"Speaking of cadets, we saw that video of you and Mary Jane," Ava said to Peter, mentioning the video of the fight that Spider-Man and Spider-Woman had with the Wrecking Crew.

"That was a close fight," Sam said

"Yeah man, what took you so long," Luke said

"The Wrecking Crew caused a lot of damage, I had to help civilians. Here's a question. Where were you guys during this," Peter asked as he drank his chocolate milk.

"I was already at school, I like to get here early," Ava said

"I was in the training room practicing my katas," Danny said

"I was lifting weights," Luke said

"I was…was doing something very important," Sam said

"No, you weren't you were doing your hair," Luke said

"HEY, my hair is important. It takes a lot of work to get is like this," Sam said making Ava scoff.

"You're just trying to impress the new recruit," Ava said

"Am not," San denied

"Dude, you so are," Peter said

"Not," Sam said

"Are," Luke said

"Definitely are," Danny said

"My question is how you plan to get past her mentor," Peter said

"Oh man, you're so dead if she catches you," Luke said

"Yeah, well at least I have my eye on someone, unlike you four," Sam said

Peter just shook his head as he watched his friends bicker. Peter can't wait to tell them the truth, till then though, he'll enjoy the time that he has with Kitty.

Bayville high school, 2:55 pm, 8th period, Astronomy class

Kitty had her book open following along as her Astronomy teacher read through it. This time they didn't finish early. Thank goodness for that, Kitty is getting sick of hearing the words captain and America. Kitty takes a chance look at the clock, five minutes left. She has five minutes left until she can leave and see Peter where she will run up too him and give him a big kiss, thanking God that he is ok, then they'll be able to go costume shopping. She thinks that they should go to Queens Center Mall, it's bigger, and always has a lot more options when it comes to costumes. Bayville Mall is good but not as good as New York. She can't help but wonder what they'll find, she's hoping that she can push Peter into being Anakin, all she needs is a good enough costume. If he agrees to be Anakin then she can be Padme, or maybe Han Solo, and Princess Leia. Then again, they could be Ant-Man and Wasp like Peter said. She has always looked up to Ms. Van Dyne, practically everything she wears is designed by the Avenger. Even the outfit she wears now was designed by her. Kitty was broken from her thoughts when the teacher asked her a question which she was ready to answer.

Five minutes passed by and finally the bell rang. Kitty got up from her chair and gathered her things in her bag. After that Kitty left the classroom.

Outside Bayville High School

Kitty was walking down the steps of the school, heading toward Peter, she didn't have to worry about anyone asking her why she hadn't been riding with them. Her cover story is driving lessons, sure that got her a few suspicious looks but it worked. As she walked by a group of people, she overheard one of them talking about something. "It's a game that I'm starting to develop, it's called Murderworld," one of the students, Arcade was his name said

'Murderworld? Didn't he have his fill when he tried to murder us with our own training room,' Kitty thought, she continued walking until she was off school grounds. After a couple of minutes of walking Kitty saw a familiar silver sedan with her boyfriend standing right next to it. Peter waved at Kitty, right when she saw him Kitty immediately took off running to Peter.

Before Peter knew it Kitty had tackled him into a hug and then gave him one of the biggest kisses that she has given him so far. After a minute Peter goes to pull back but Kitty tightens her hold around his neck to keep him in place. She wasn't gonna let him go yet, she was worried about him, she wants to take another moment of intimacy with him. Finally, when she couldn't breathe anymore Kitty broke the kiss.

"What was that for," Peter asked

Kitty cupped Peter's face with her hands and gave him a nice short kiss, "I'm just glad that you're safe," she said

"Of course, I am, I texted you remember," Peter said

"I know, but seeing is believing," Kitty said

"And now that you see me," Peter asked

"I'm relieved, happy, I want to keep kissing you until your face is bruised," Kitty said making Peter laugh which she joined in on.

"Sounds fun, too bad we have to look for costumes," Peter said

"I'm sure we can squeeze in a makeout session," Kitty said

Peter leaned down and kissed Kitty softly on the lips, "I'm sure we can," he said against Kitty's lips. "Till then…"

"Costume shopping," Kitty said as she grinned, "And I know who we can go as."

"I am not dressing up like Anakin," Peter declined

"I wasn't gonna mention that. I had someone else in mind," Kitty said

"Or Han Solo," Peter interjected

"Ok, now you're just being difficult," Kitty said making Peter roll his eyes.

"Come on," Peter said as he turned around and entered his car. Kitty walked around to the passenger's side of the car, she opened the backseat, threw her bookbag in and closed it. Kitty then walked to the front seat, opened the door, and got in closing the door. "So which mall?"

"I was thinking Queens Center Mall, it has three costume stores," Kitty answered

"Ok then, New York City here we come," Peter said, he then drove them off heading to the mall.

New York City, Queens Center Mall parking lot

Peter and Kitty enters the parking lot of the mall and starts looking, "Keep an eye out for a spot," Peter said as he looked for a spot near the entrance.

"Way ahead of you," Kitty said as she kept an eye out, so far, she couldn't find any spots, the mall was packed today.

Peter kept driving, "Hm, we may have to park farther back," he said making Kitty groan.

"I hate parking in the back," Kitty said, it's always so hard finding the car, especially when the mall is packed.

"Sorry Kitkat, but I don't see any parking spaces around here," Peter said

Kitty sighed, "Fine," she said

"No need to worry Ms. Pryde," E.I.D.I.T.H. said making Kitty jump in surprise, "I am currently connected to Mr. Parker's phone, if you need to find me, I can simply tell you."

Kitty turns to Peter, "From now on, you tell me when she's on," she said

Peter smiled, "Yes dear," he said as he drove the car farther back in the parking lot. Finally, he sees some spaces, "There we go, some parking spaces."

"Yeah, because all of the good spaces are in the front," Kitty commented

Peter drives the car to one of the empty spaces, he then turned toward Kitty, "Now Kitty, please watch me while I park," he said

"I know how to park Peter," Kitty retorted

"Speeding up to a parking space and abruptly stopping is not parking, that is a sure fire way to get whiplash," Peter said getting a humph from Kitty. Peter gets the car in position and backs his car into the parking space. He then puts the car in park, turns off the ignition, and takes out the keys. "So, you ready," Peter asked Kitty

"Let's go," Kitty said as she gets out of the car followed by Peter, the couple closes their doors. Peter then takes out his phone.

"You there E.I.D.I.T.H.," Peter asked on his phone.

"Yes Mr. Parker, I am at your service," E.I.D.I.T.H. said

"Good, please lock the car," Peter said

"Of course, Mr. Parker," E.I.D.I.T.H. said

Peter and Kitty then hear the familiar sounds of car doors being locked. "Thanks, E.I.D.I.T.H.," Peter said

"Of course, Mr. Parker," E.I.D.I.T.H. said

Peter locks his phone then pockets it, "Alright, let's go," he said to Kitty.

"Finally," Kitty said as she walks up to Peter and wraps her arms around Peter's arm. "Come on, I know where we can go first."

"Oh, and where's that," Peter asked as they walked toward the mall.

"I was thinking Costumes R' US first, you know just so we can rule it out, and get to the good stores," Kitty answered

Inside Queens Center Mall

The entrance doors opened, and Kitty and Peter came through entering the mall. Once they entered, they could see tons of people, adults, teenagers, and families walking around, entering and exiting stores, browsing the windows of shops, sitting down and talking, etc. "It sure is crowded," Peter said

"We're a little over a week from Halloween, not to mention it's a weekend and afterschool. Of course, it would be packed," Kitty said as they started walking around looking for the store.

"So, how was your day today," Peter asked

"Pretty good," Kitty answered

"Just pretty good," Peter asked getting a shrug from Kitty.

"I mean it was mostly good, besides someone calling me a freak," Kitty said

"What, why," Peter asked

"You know why," Kitty said in a depressed tone.

Peter moved his head so he could kiss Kitty's forehead, he then looked at her and she looked back, "I guess it's a good thing that we know differently," Peter said smiling at Kitty.

Kitty's spirits lifted after that and smiled back, "Yeah, we do. I also saw the video of your fight with the Wrecking Crew."

"Oh," Peter said as they made it to Costumes R' US and entered. As they entered, they saw what you would expect to see in a Halloween costume store. Costumes of all kinds were everywhere, some were on the walls, others were in racks, they saw some manakins wearing costumes.

"Yeah," Kitty said, she then remembered the hits Peter took, "Are you ok, I saw that Wrecker guy punch you a couple of times," Kitty asked in concern.

"I'm ok Kitty, nothing I haven't been through before," Peter said as they started to browse costumes.

"What about MJ? Is she ok? I watched the news with the other students at the institute and saw that she took a beating," Kitty said

"She was looked over, she was up and at em in third period," Peter answered making Kitty sigh in relief.

"That's good," Kitty said as she then looked at a few costumes, "Hm." Kitty looked through the racks seeing all kinds of costumes, she sees fairy costumes, vampire costumes, witch costumes. Kitty takes out a witch costume, goes over to a nearby mirror and puts it against her body to get an idea what she'd look like. "What do you think Peter?" Kitty turned to her boyfriend showing him the witch's costume.

Peter looks up from the troll costume that he was looking at to see the witch's costume that Kitty has, "I think that it I'm still surprised that this place is open with all of the cheap costumes that they have," Peter said

"Yeah, the costumes are pretty cheap. I remember when this place first opened," Kitty said as she took another look at the costume. It was just a black robe with a witch's hat.

"Same, we were in seventh grade, and we were looking for Halloween costumes when we heard of this place and decided to check it out," Peter said

"With the hype that this place was getting you'd figure that the costumes would be fantastic or something. Like the coolest thing that you'd ever see," Kitty said as she placed the witch costume away and continued her browsing. "Turns out they were just good at marketing."

"We were certainly disappointed when we came here, looked around and saw this," Peter said as he showed Kitty a mummy costume that just looked like toilet paper.

Kitty laughed, "That's not just disappointing. That's a disgrace," she said, Kitty sees another rack and walks up to it. She takes a look and sees an assortment of pixie costumes. Kitty can't help but smile, if this costume was made with some decent material, then it would actually look nice.

"Hey, what do you think of me as Frankenstein's monster," Peter said as he was holding a headpiece that looked like Frankenstein's monsters' head. Peter put the headpiece on. Kitty turned and looked at Peter to see him wearing the headpiece and she can't help but giggle.

"That is so terrible," Kitty said shaking her head, "Come on, let's go to another part of the store." Kitty and Peter then started walking. They enter a section filled with zombie costumes.

"Hey zombie costumes, we could go as zombies," Peter offered

"I don't know, you know how I feel about zombies Peter. Ever since we first watched the Walking Dead, I get totally freaked out" Kitty said as she shivered, she remembers when zombies were the slow moving undead people who just went after your brains. Now they have blood or whatever dropping from their mouths, they can run up to you, and instead of going for the brains they eat the whole body.

Peter can't help but wonder how Kitty would react if she knew that zombies were actually real. Heck, if rumors are true there is a S.H.I.E.L.D. team that handles supernatural threats and one of their members is a zombie. For Kitty's sake Peter sure hopes she doesn't run into them, or maybe it's for the zombie's sake. Kitty can be unpredictable when she's freaked out. "Well, I don't think you have to worry about this costume," Peter said as he took out one of the zombie costumes, it was a green body suit that had patches of red on the arms that is supposed to be blood, the body suit comes with jeans, a sleeveless striped shirt, a pair of shoes that were intentionally torn up, there is a green mask, and a bald cap that has what looked like a few strands of hair. "This looks like one of those zombies from one of the games on my phone. Where you battle your zombies with another player's, it's pretty fun."

"I think we should keep looking," Kitty said, they then left the zombie section and moved to the vampire section. "This is not better," Kitty said as she was a looking through some of the vampire costumes.

Peter smiled, "You hate zombies, and you hate vampires," he said as he was holding a pair of vampire fangs in his hand.

"You know how I feel about horror movie monsters, zombies and werewolves eat you, vampires hypnotize you and sucks your blood by biting your neck," Kitty explained

Peter walks up, and stops behind Kitty, he then leaned where his mouth was next to her ear, "You certainly don't complain when I bite your neck," he whispered

Kitty blushed at that, she then turns around and slaps Peter's chest, "That's different and you know it," she said smiling, "When you do that, I feel nothing but pleasure." Kitty then blushed again as she remembered the times when Peter did bite or suck her neck. She could feel the phantom pleasure from the thought. Especially at what he did to her a few days ago at Cellini's. Her spine gave a pleasurable shiver as she remembered Peter slipping his hands under her trousers. God that felt so good, she's never felt such intense pleasure go through her. She was especially surprised when Peter made her legs give out. She didn't even know that could happen. Yep, that was definitely one of the heaviest make out sessions they had. Well, the one at the end of the day was certainly better. She can't help but blush deeper at the thought, they certainly had a lot less clothes on in that make out session. She quickly shook herself from those thoughts, despite how enjoyable those thoughts are, she has to focus on the task at hand. She can focus on those later.

"It's funny how much horror movie monsters freak you out and yet you love watching things like the Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, and Twilight," Peter mentioned as he stood next to Kitty and started looking.

"Hey, don't be dissing on those series, besides they're not even rated under horror, they're teen dramas, and they're really good," Kitty said

"I'll give you Teen Wolf, mostly because I can kind of relate to the main character a bit, and possibly Vampire Diaries, But Twilight needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth," Peter said

"You take that back, Twilight was a masterpiece of a book and movie series," Kitty said

"Twilight was lame," Peter said rolling his eyes.

"How dare you! Twilight was incredible, it was a love story of a human girl and a vampire boy who are enemies with the girl's friend's tribe who happen to be werewolves. And the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jake, that was so juicy. I am so happy that she stayed with Edward," Kitty said

"Twilight was screwed up, Jake imprinted on Bella and Edward's daughter making them lifelong mates, I don't care how fast she ages physically and mentally, that is just wrong," Peter said

Kitty hmphed, she had to give Peter that one, even though she enjoyed the series, to a point that she actually watched all movies four times in a row, she has to admit that did disturb her as well. "Let's keep looking," Kitty said as she walked off ahead of Peter annoyed that he won that round. She doesn't care what he says, Twilight was a masterpiece, she just may make him watch it just to bug him.

Peter smirked, he knows that he won that debate, Kitty always changes the subject when she has nothing else to say. He knows that she's probably planning some kind of revenge on him, so he'll enjoy this victory while he can.

Peter and Kitty spent the next hour looking around the store, they saw a variety of costumes, superhero costumes, they even found a cheap knock off of a Spider-Man costume, Kitty was pretty peeved that the only costume that they had that was related to the X-Men was Wolverine's old costume. Seriously where were theirs?! Where were her's?! Is she not costume worthy?! They found costumes from horror movies, like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elms Street. They found some costumes from television shows, like Power Rangers, Digimon, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After that they decided to leave.

"You also like Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Peter said as they walked out of the store.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a good series, besides she reminds me of someone, I just can't figure out who," Kitty said as she tried to think who Buff reminded her of.

Peter smirked, if only Kitty knew. "So, where to next," he asked

"Hm, good question, we could go to Marvel, they always have the best superhero costumes. But we could also go to Phantom, they have a wider variety of costumes. What do you think," Kitty asked Peter.

"Well, if there's one thing that Costumes R' US is good for it's telling us what costumes that the other stores have. Seriously, it's like they have the inventory list of both stores, and decide to make cheap copies of every costume," Peter said

"At least they price by the quality of their costumes, you gotta give them that," Kitty said shrugging. "But that didn't answer my question, which store?"

"Phantom is the closest store last I checked, so how about we go there," Peter said

"OK, off to Phantom, and maybe afterwards we can get something to eat," Kitty said

"Sounds good," Peter said, they walked around the mall for a few minutes, taking the occasional turn, they pass by a set of TVs, taking a quick glance Kitty sees footage of Peter as Spider-Man picking up a turned over car and getting the people out of it. She smiled when she saw that, that's her boyfriend, Kitty then turned her face forward to see where they are going. It was another five minutes of walking when they finally made it to Phantom. As they approached the store, they saw a vicious looking werewolf standing in the display case. "Hey, check out the werewolf, looks real life like," Peter said pointing to the werewolf.

"Ehh, talk about hideous, let's go, that thing is seriously giving me the creeps," Kitty said as she grabbed Peter's arm and dragged him in the store.

When the couple's backs were to it, the werewolf turns its head and looked at them, "Well that's just rude," the werewolf said, a noise then comes from the werewolf's ear.

"Come in Warwolf," a voice said

"Yeah, I'm here," Warwolf said tapping his earpiece.

"Anything yet," the voice asked

"Well, two kids just came by and entered the store, and the girl said ehh at me, and called me hideous, and said I was giving her the creeps. Who says that," Warwolf complained

"I meant anything pertaining to the mission," the voice said

"Oh, well then no," Warwolf said

The voice sighed, "Keep visual, we'll meet up tonight at Strange's," the voice said

"Yes sir," Warwolf said

"See you then, Sitwell out," the voice, revealing to be Sitwell said ending the call.

Warwolf got back into position, he internally sighed, and started repeating his mantra, 'Don't cramp up, don't cramp up.'

Further in Phantom

"Now this is a costume store," Kitty said as she picks up a witch's costume, this one was of much better quality than the one in Costumes R' US. "I'm gonna go try this on, be back." Kitty then went to the nearby changing room to go change.

"Ok," Peter said as he looked through some warlock and wizard costumes. Peter picks up a wizard costume and a warlock costume, and looks at them thoughtfully, trying to figure out which one he would look better in.

"I'm done," Kitty said making Peter turn to her, when he did, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, there was Kitty in a jagged hemline black dress that stopped halfway her lower leg, bell sleeves with jagged hemlines, a sash tied around her waist, on top of her head is a witch's hat (If you need an image, I found this costume on Amazon, it's Forum Novelties Women's Wicked Witch Costume). "So, what do you think?"

Peter walked up to Kitty and looked at her up and down, "Wow, I think if all witches were as pretty as you, they'd have a better reputation," he said making Kitty laugh.

"Please tell me you did not just quote Halloweentown II," Kitty said giggling making Peter smile.

"You're right, you deserve a Parker original. I've said this before, I'll say it again, cute, pretty, adorable, beautiful, gorgeous, all of them describe you yet every single one of them is an understatement with how amazing you look Kitty," Peter complimented

A deep blush appeared on Kitty's face when Peter told her that, she didn't even try to hide the smile that formed on her face, reaching up, Kitty kissed Peter on the cheek. "Thanks Peter," Kitty said, this costume is definitely being put at the top of the list of costumes to choose from. Just because of the compliment.

"Simply telling you the truth Kitty," Peter said, he then raised his hands and showed Kitty the two costumes, "Now which one do you think would be best, wizard or warlock?"

"Try them both on and I will tell you my honest opinion," Kitty offered

"Ok, I'll be right back," Peter said, he then entered the changing room with both costumes, after waiting a couple of minutes the door opens and Peter steps out wearing a black robe, vest, and shirt front. The hooded robe jacket is close to floor length and is layered over the faux leather detailed vest and metallic, silver shirt front. The jacket is open at the front with an over-sized folded-tip hood with braided silver around the opening, and the cuffs are folded with braided silver edging. The vest has silver piping around the hems and collar, and the silvery shirt front pulls the whole look together. (Amazon: Mens Modern Warlock Costume Dark Wizard Costume). "So, what do you link?"

Kitty hummed as she walked up to Peter and circled him slowly taking in what he looked like, "Pretty cool," Kitty said as she stopped right in front of him. "Now let's see the wizard one."

Nodding Peter went back into the changing room to switch costumes. Two minutes later and Peter comes back out wearing a dark blue robe with the shoulders pointed out, he has a cloak with a hood and a belt wrapped around his waist. He is holding what looks like a wizard staff. (Amazon: Mens Dark Wizard Costume, but change the color to dark blue, exclude the beard)

Kitty breathed out a breath, "Wow, this is hard," she said as she looked at Peter, an idea just struck her, Kitty then grabbed Peter's hand, "Come with me." Kitty then led Peter to a mirror where he and she stepped in front of. Kitty looked at her and Peter together. They looked really good together, she then imagined Peter in his last costume with her. Wow still a hard decision, both of them would look good with her witch costume. After a couple of minutes contemplating Kitty made her decision. "The warlock costume."

"You think," Peter asked

"I know. I mean the wizard costume is good, but I think the warlock costume matches this witch's costume better," Kitty said

"Well, I trust you. So, we going with these costumes then," Peter asked

"Peter, of course we're not going with these, we still have the entire store to cover, not to mention Marvel. After that, then we'll pick," Kitty said

Peter laughed, "Should have known better," he said making Kitty grin.

"Yes, you should have. Before we do anything though I wanna take a picture of us," Kitty said, she then went to get her phone from the changing room, seconds later Kitty comes back with her phone in hand. She stops to stand next to Peter who puts his arm around her waist. "Say trick or treat," Kitty said as she raises her phone up.

"Trick or treat," Peter said

Kitty then took the picture, she and Peter then looked at the picture, "Picture perfect, now quickly I want you to change into the warlock costume so we can take another picture." Kitty said

"Yes, your witchness," Peter joked, he then headed to the changing room and switched costumes. Once he was out of the room, Peter went back to Kitty and stood beside her.

"Just like last time, 3, 2, 1…," Kitty said

"Trick or treat," the couple said as Kitty took a picture of them.

Kitty looked at her phone to check the picture out, "Perfect," she said, she then turned and started to walk away, "Now come on we got a lot more costumes to go through and so little time." Peter followed Kitty to the changing rooms so they could change back to their regular clothes. They then set out to look for more costumes. After some searching, they go to the vampire section and look around.

"We could go as vampires," Peter said as he looked at the accessories, certainly better than Costumes R' US.

"I guess," Kitty said as she picks up a vampire costume. This certainly looks cute; she'll try it on. "I'm gonna go try this on."

"Sure, I have a costume I'm gonna try as well," Peter said, with that they both went to separate changing rooms to put on their costumes.

Peter is the first one to get out, what he was wearing was a vampire-collared embossed velvet coat with satin lapels and cuffs along with the red printed satin vest and attached dickey, black pants and black shoes (Amazon: Dreamgirl Men's Bloody Handsome Costume). Peter goes to a mirror and looks at himself, "Not too shabby, if I do say so myself," he said

"I'm rea-, wow," Kitty said from behind Peter.

Peter turns to her only to once again be stunned by the beauty before him. Kitty is wearing a floor length crushed poly velvet dress with spiderweb lace, red sequins, and satin details. It has a large red gemstone at the waist, she has a choker on her neck with an attached batwing collar with red satin details (Amazon: Amscan 841219 Black and Red Vampire Costume | Adult Medium Size | 1 Piece).

Kitty herself is stunned by how Peter looked, he looked really handsome, like really handsome. "You look really handsome Peter," she said as Peter walks up to her.

"You think," Peter said

"Totally, you can bite my neck any day," Kitty said flirtatiously.

"Well, you certainly look like someone I wouldn't mind feasting on. How can one person turn themselves from a beautiful witch to a sexy vampire is beyond me," Peter said flirtatiously.

Kitty blushed, that compliment could mean a boat load of things but either way she's glad that she could impress him. "Come on, let's go to the mirror," Kitty said as they walked up to the mirror and looked at themselves. "Nice."

"Definitely," Peter said, they did look nice together, as if the two outfits were made to be paired. Once again, they decided to take a picture, but this time they used Peter's phone. He really wanted that picture of Kitty in her vampire costume on his phone. After the picture, they went back to the changing rooms and changed back into their regular clothes. "So, how about some werewolf costumes," Peter asked as they continued looking through the monster section of the store.

Kitty made a face, "I don't exactly feel like being covered in all of that fur," Kitty said, she then looked at some of the aisles until she found one that caught her interest, "What if we went as Frankenstein and his bride," she said as she stopped in front of the Frankenstein aisle.

"Seems like we're moving kind of fast don't you think," Peter joked making Kitty blush, in response she elbowed him.

"Dork," Kitty laughed as she walked through the aisled followed by a laughing Peter.

They looked at their respective sides, one side of the aisle was the bride of Frankenstein while the other side was Frankenstein's monster. Peter picked up a Frankenstein headpiece, put it on, and turned to Kitty, "Hey Kitty, what do you think now," he asked

Kitty turned to Peter to see him wearing the head piece, "Much better than the other one," she said, Kitty then picked up a wig and put it on. "What about me? How do I look," Kitty did a quick turn to show off the wig.

"Nice, very bride of Frankensteiny," Peter said making Kitty giggle.

"Why thank you," Kitty said, she then turned back to the costumes, "Let's see if I can find the right outfit for this wig."

Peter smiled, he put the headpiece away and got back to searching for his costume. It took a couple of minutes until he found a costume that he liked, "Got one," he exclaimed, he then turned to Kitty, "You find anything?"

"Hang on a second, there are so many different styles, it's hard to choose," Kitty said, which costume does she want, she supposes it depends. Does she want to be scary or attractive? Could she be both? Finally, after one more look over Kitty found the costume she wanted, she grabbed it and turned to Peter, "Ok, let's go." They then went to the nearest changing rooms.

Kitty comes out of the changing room, and she is shown wearing an off white uncrushed panne dress with glitter detail, mummy wrap sleeves with hand openings, and on top of her head is a bride of Frankenstein wig (Amazon: Disguise Monsters Deluxe Bride of Frankenstein Adult Costume). She goes to look herself in the mirror, "Hm, nice." She then hears a door open and turns around to see what her boyfriend chose.

Peter comes out of the changing room, and he is wearing a green jacket with attached shirtfront brown pants, and a black-haired headpiece to complete the transformation (Amazon: Mens Universal Monsters Frankenstein Costume). "So," Peter asked

"Needs makeup," Kitty said

"It's in the stall, green makeup," Peter said as he started to walk to Kitty.

"How do I look," Kitty said doing a twirl, to show off the dress.

"A combination between pretty and scary," Peter said

"Only pretty," Kitty asked as Peter approached her.

"Well," Peter said as he stopped in front of Kitty, "I do prefer your natural hair color."

Kitty takes off the wig, "And now," she asked

"Hang on," Peter said, he then pulled out her ponytail making her hair fall down, "Gorgeous. You always did look beautiful with your hair down."

Kitty smiled, she then wrapped her arms around Peter's neck and kissed him, "You're really making me contemplate to start wearing my hair down more often," Kitty whispered against Peter's lips.

"Really," Peter said making Kitty nod her head.

"You really think I look beautiful with my hair down," Kitty asked

"Kitty, I don't care what your hairstyle is. To me you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," Peter complimented.

Kitty felt her heart speed up, she loved it when Peter compliments her, because she knows that he isn't just saying it, he means every word, and that makes her feel so happy. He makes her feel so happy.

"Now what do you say we take a look in the mirror and see how we look," Peter offered

"Of course," Kitty said, she then releases Peter and puts the wig on, they look in the mirror.

They both look at their reflections, "Honestly, I'm not really big on it," Peter said

"Same, I mean we look good, but…," Kitty said

"It isn't what we're looking for," Peter finished

"Exactly," Kitty said, "Come on let's put these costumes away, but first, say trick or treat." Kitty then takes out her phone and takes a picture. The couple then went to change out of their costumes and into their regular clothes, "Let's go to a different section, I'm kind of tired of movie monsters."

"Ok, let's see what else this place has to offer," Peter said

"Oh, by the way," Kitty said getting Peter's attention, "You have till we're twenty," she then walked away.

Peter looked at Kitty questioning, "To do what," Peter asked, all he got was a smirk in return. Peter quickly followed Kitty, "What do I have till we're twenty to do?" But Kitty didn't answer, she just continued walking and searching. Peter quickly caught up to her.

It didn't take long for something to catch Kitty's attention, "Oh my God, Peter look," Kitty said as she walked to and aisle, she came back seconds later with two costumes.

"No, hell no, not a chance. NO," Peter declined when he saw the costumes.

Kitty decided to argue, "Yes," she said

"No," Peter said

"Yes," Kitty said

"No," Peter said

"Yes," Kitty said

"No," Peter said

"Why not," Kitty asked in a complaining tone.

"Didn't we just go over that in Costumes R' US. That movie needs to be wiped off the face of the planet," Peter said

"We would win with these costumes, guaranteed," Kitty said indicating to the costumes that she has in her hands which are Edward and Bella costumes.

"Kitty I swear, if you get me that costume, I will steak it to a wooden post and burn it. I swear I will," Peter said

Kitty scowled, "Fine, no Twilight," she said, she then gained a thoughtful look, "We could…"

"No Star Wars, in swear I will do to those costumes what Obi-wan did to Anakin on Mustafar," Peter said

Kitty hmphed and went to put the costumes back. Peter rolled his eyes at Kitty's pouting. Kitty soon came back, "So what else should we try on if not Twilight and Star Wars. Maybe Cinderella and Prince Henry, or Beauty and the Beast," Kitty asked as they started walking again.

"Umm no," Peter said

"Why not," Kitty asked annoyed stopping to look at Peter, "Give me one reason why not."

"Honestly, because you'd look too beautiful in those dresses," Peter said

"What," Kitty asked

"You'd look too beautiful in those dresses. All of the guys eyes would be on you, and call me a jealous boyfriend, but I don't like other guys eyeing you," Peter said as he wrapped his arms around Kitty's waist.

Kitty couldn't help but giggle, "I didn't realize you were such a jealous boyfriend," she said

"Well, when you have such a beautiful girlfriend you tend to want to keep other guys away from her in fear that she'd leave you for them," Peter said, but the smile on him face showed that he wasn't serious.

"Like that would ever happen," Kitty said rolling her eyes, "I have like the perfect guy right in front of me. Why would I leave?"

"I'm not perfect, I have quite some imperfections," Peter said

"But that's what makes you perfect," Kitty said back, "Fine, no princess costumes for the party, but we're still gonna try on the costumes."

"Why," Peter asked

"Wouldn't you like to see me in a princess gown? Well, I guess I could dress up as Jasmine," Kitty said smirking. Peter couldn't help but gulp a bit at the thought of Kitty dressed like that. "Come on Peter the fashion show commences." Kitty then started walking away followed by Peter. They found the aisle that they were looking for and got to changing. They changed into a variety of costumes, Cinderella and Prince Henry, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Prince Charming, Jasmine and Aladin, Ariel and Prince Eric. Peter really liked Kitty in the last two costumes. They had to have gone through every princess and prince/lover there was. They even changed into Princess Leia and Han Solo. They did numerous poses and took multiple pictures. They enjoyed it very much, Peter was right, every costume that Kitty put on looked beautiful on her, and Kitty certainly believed that Peter looked handsome, dashing, and rugged charming in his costumes. Rugged charming is for the Han Solo costume.

After they got done doing that they continued on their search, they found animal costumes, dogs, cats, lions, tigers, monkeys. They found secret agent costumes, lawyer costumes (why would anyone want to be a lawyer for Halloween is beyond them), they saw football player costumes and basketball player costumes. Kitty soon got an idea, she then looked at Peter, "How about you try this on," Kitty said indicating towards the basketball costume.

Peter raised an eyebrow, "Why," he asked

Kitty shrugged, "Why not," she answered

Smiling, Peter decided to do what Kitty said, he grabbed the costume and headed to the changing room, what he didn't notice was the mischievous smile on her face as she got her own costume and headed to a changing room.

A minute later and Peter comes out of the changing room wearing a blue basketball jersey that has the number 63 on it with matching basketball shorts. "Ok, it's on," Peter said

"Good just hang on a second," Kitty said from the changing room. It was three minutes later when the door opened and what Peter saw made his jaw drop open. In front of Peter was Kitty wearing a cheerleader outfit. She was wearing a sleeveless bluetop with a lion head on it, the top showing off her midriff, a short red skirt that showed off her bare legs, she also had pompoms in her hands, "What do you think?"

"Um um um," Peter said, there was nothing else he could say. He was speechless, Kitty looked really sexy in that outfit.

"Well," Kitty asked as she trolled on up to Peter, "Come on Peter, tell me." Kitty did a slow twirl to show off her body to Peter and he got every detail.

"Um, um, you look wow," Peter said

Kitty smirked feeling confident in herself, "Why thank you, I have to admit. I really enjoy what I'm seeing," she said as she looked at Peter.

"Really," Peter said, a smirk appearing on his face, he was just able to snap out of his stupor, but he is really having a hard time not eyeing Kitty's body. Those X-Men training sessions really helped her.

"Really," Kitty said wrapping her arms around Peter's neck and kiss him, "So which one do you like me in more, the witch costume, the vampire one, Jasmine, Ariel, or this one?"

"Is there an answer that won't make me sound like a pervert," Peter asked as he wrapped his arms around Kitty's waist.

"Don't know. Is there," Kitty asked

Peter thought for a moment, "Nope no answer that won't make me sound like a pervert," he said

Kitty giggles, she loves doing this to Peter, teasing him, it's always so much fun not to mention flattering to see him gawk at her. "Let me guess, you don't want me to wear this. Don't want all of the guys staring at me," she said

"Exactly," Peter said making Kitty giggle again.

The couple change back into their regular clothes and spend some more time looking and trying on costumes. They spent an hour-and-a-half in the store until finally they decided to leave and get something to eat. As they exit the store Peter takes another look at the werewolf, "Seriously that is realistic," he said

"To realistic if you ask me. It seriously stinks," Kitty said as they walked off.

'HEY,' Warwolf thought, he then started to feel cramps, 'Oh no I'm cramping, I'm cramping!'

"So where to," Peter asked

"Let's go to the food court," Kitty said, they then headed to the food court. It took them a couple of minutes of walking until they reached the food court. Once they reached it, they saw a variety a restaurants gathered together. They walk around looking at the restaurants. "How about Chinese," Kitty offered as she saw a Chinese restraint, above the entrance said, Emerald Chopstix.

"I could go for some kung pao chicken," Peter said

"Great! Let's go," Kitty said, they entered the restaurant and sat at a table, their waiter came and gave them their menus to choose from and left to give them time.

"Think I'm gonna have a Sierra Mist for a drink," Peter said

"Pepsi for me," Kitty said

"Any idea what you want to eat," Peter asked

"Emerald Noodles, and fried rice," Kitty answered, "What about you?"

"Kung Pao Chicken, and I think I'll have fried rice to," Peter said

"We should get some egg rolls, those are always good," Kitty suggested

When the waiter came Peter and Kitty gave their orders, ten minutes later, and they find themselves eating their food.

Kitty opens a fortune cookie, "The path of knowledge is the path to power," Kitty read

"Good advice," Peter said

Kitty shrugged as she took a bite of her eggroll, "Sound like a longer version of knowledge is power," she said

Peter smiled at that, "You should hear some of Danny's sayings," he said

"Why? They as cheesy as this," Kitty said

"They can be, I always wondered how he comes up with the stuff," Peter said

"Maybe he has them all written in a little book," Kitty said as she drank her Pepsi.

Peter and Kitty spend the next twenty minutes eating and talking until finally they are done with their food. After paying for the meal and leaving a tip, they head on out to their next destination.

As they approach the mall's last costume shop, they look above the entrance and there is a red rectangular sign that says Marvel in white lettering with heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, they see windows with costume displays on both sides, on the left side is Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. On the right side is Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Fist. "OH COME ON," Kitty exclaimed as they walked to the displays, "Seriously, why is Logan's costume being display? Where are ours? This is so not fair."

"To be honest Wolverine does have a big fanbase. Not to mention he was more public than the rest of you guys," Peter said

Kitty hmphed, she did have to admit that Peter did have a point, Logan did go out more than they did in the beginning. Back then, though no one knew that he was a mutant, everyone thought that he was like Peter and the Fantastic Four. Frankly it was Logan's popularity that has helped them with some of the people. Some of the parents never would have sent their kids to Xavier's if it wasn't for Logan. Everyone recognizes the Wolverine, the guy who fought alongside Spider-Man, Captain America, the Avengers. Logan's deeds have helped the X-Men greatly despite some people arguing about him being a liar. Not that Logan really cares what everyone thinks of him.

"Come on, let's go," Peter said, as they entered the store. As they enter, they see someone familiar walking toward the exit. "Hey, it's MJ," Peter exclaimed, "Hey Mary Jane," he called out getting the red head's attention.

"Hey Peter," MJ said as she walked up to the couple. She looked down and saw that Peter and Kitty were holding hands. So, it was true, they really were together.

"Hey MJ," Kitty greeted smiling.

MJ scowled, "Hey Kitty," MJ said

"So, what are you doing here," Peter asked

"Looking for a costume, what else," MJ answered

"Should you really be moving around, you took quite the beating today," Peter said

"I'm fine Peter, just a little sore," MJ reassured

"I saw that fight. Are you sure that you're ok? The Wrecking Crew didn't look like they were pulling any punches," Kitty said worried.

"Like you could have done better," MJ snarked, she didn't like that Kitty knew that she was Spider-Woman, Peter never should have told her.

Kitty frowned at the response, "I'm not sure I would have done better, guys with super durability are very annoying to take down. Even with a team, it was a good thing Peter arrived when he did. I was really worried," Kitty said

"I can handle myself, the only reason why they got the upper hand was because they used the civilians against me," MJ said

"Well, either way, I'm glad that you're ok," Kitty said

"Thanks, listen I have to go, I'll catch you later Peter," MJ said as she then walked away not even bothering to say bye to Kitty.

"See ya MJ," Peter said

"Bye," Kitty said but got no reply in return, Kitty's face then became depressed which Peter noticed.

"Kitty," Peter said

"She hates me," Kitty said

"No, she doesn't," Peter said

"You saw the way she talked to me Peter, did you sense a single ounce of friendliness in her voice, I sure didn't," Kitty said as she hugged herself.

Peter pulled Kitty in a hug, his arms wrapped around her protectively, he could feel her relax a little as she rested her head on his chest. He could tell that she was doing her best to hold back her tears. Peter knows how much it hurts Kitty that MJ, Gwen, and Liz aren't talking to her. They have barely spoken to her in years. Even when Gwen got out of her coma, she didn't even try contacting Kitty, despite Kitty actually visiting her in the hospital during said coma. The only time they ever spoke was when they couldn't avoid it. Peter wished that they could stop this. It's so stupid that they're doing this, and Harry agrees with him. Yet despite how terribly they've been treating her, Kitty still considers them friends and will always do her best to be there for them and help them when they needed it, just as she did when Gwen was in her coma.

They stood there for a while, Peter holding Kitty whispering comforting things in her ear. After some time, Kitty calms down and looks up at Peter. He can see tear stains on her face, he touches Kitty's face with his hand and brushes away the stain. "Are you ok," Peter said

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry for that, it's just hard sometimes you know," Kitty said as she wipes her face getting rid of the tear stains.

"Trust me, I know. I've gone through the same thing with Eddie. Do you still want to go costume shopping? We can do this another day," Peter said

Kitty shook her head, "No, I'm ok, really. Besides, you know shopping helps distract me," Kitty said

"I know, but if you want to talk," Peter said

"You'll be the first one I'll come too," Kitty said giving a small smile, "Now come on, let's see what they've got." They then continued into the store. Once they were in the store, they saw everything superhero. They saw life size statues, costumes, candy, trick or treat bags/buckets, candy bowls. Hanging from the ceiling are statues of Iron Man, War Machine, and Falcon, all look like that they are flying. They see a Spider-Man statue hanging from a web on the ceiling along with Kid Arachnid, and Spider-Woman. "You know it always amazed me with how much superhero stuff that they have here," Kitty comments as they walk through the store.

"The owner must be a huge superhero fan, either that or he realized the money in superhero products," Peter said

"Could be both," Kitty said

As they continued walking, taking their time to look around at the active store, and the store is active with all of the people there. They are approached by a girl their age, she has to be about 5'5, has blonde hair that reached to her upper back, green eyes, a few freckles on her face, she is wearing a red t-shirt with a white M printed on the center, on her left breast is her name tag in the shape of the Black Widow that says Terry, she has khaki pants, and black shoes. "Hello, my name is Terry, is there anything that I can help you with," Terry asked

Peter and Kitty look at each other, there is so much stuff here it's hard to decide where to even start. Peter turns his attention to Terry, "Maybe," Peter said

"We're going to a costume party, and we are looking for some good costumes to wear, preferably couple costumes. There is a costume contest at the party, and we'd like to win," Kitty informed

"I know just where you can begin your search, follow me," Terry said, she then turned around and led the couple to where their starting point would be. "Do you know why this store is called Marvel?"

"No. Why," Peter said

"Because we all think that superheroes are Marvelous. Get it Marvel, Marvelous," Terry said making Peter and Kitty awkwardly laugh at the terrible joke.

"You tell that joke to all of your customers," Peter asked

"Yeah sorry, terrible joke I know, but it's boss's orders to say the joke at least once a day. We tried not saying it, thought he wouldn't know. Somehow though he knows, he always knows. We think that he looks at the security tapes to see everything we said during the day," Terry said

"Well, that's creepy," Kitty said

"Very creepy, but it's not like we have any proof, and besides that bad joke this is a good gig, good pay, flexible hours so it doesn't interfere with school," Terry said, finally she led them to a section that was dedicated to the Avengers. "I suggest, you try Ant-Man and Wasp first, they're always an iconic duo," Terry suggested

"Thanks, we'll try that," Peter said

"Have a Marvel day," Terry said chuckling, "Also something we have to say to customers." Terry then walks off leaving Peter and Kitty to themselves.

"So, Ant-Man and Wasp first," Peter asked

"First we have to find the right costumes, I mean they've worn so many over the years," Kitty said

Peter snorted, "Wasp has, Ant-Man, not so much," he said as he looked at the Ant-Man costumes.

Kitty looked through the Wasp costumes, "Uhh, normally I applaud Ms. Van Dyne for her many costumes because they all look amazing, but now I wish she didn't go through so many. It's hard to decide," Kitty said as she grabbed two costumes, one costume looked like the one is Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes while the other one looked like the one in Ant-Man and Wasp Quantum Mania. "These both are so cute; how do I choose?"

"You could try them on," Peter suggested

"Good thinking, get your Ant-Man costume and we'll change," Kitty said

"I haven't chosen yet, he may not have worn a lot of costumes but he did do good on designing them, they're all pretty cool," Peter said as he looked at the costumes. The first costume is the original Ant-Man costume, and the second one looked like the one from Fantastic Four Earth's Greatest Heroes.

Kitty walked up next to Peter, "I'm sure it was Ms. Van Dyne who designed the costumes, you smart guys have no sense of fashion," she said, Kitty then took a quick look and picked up a costume, "Go with the original, it's iconic," Kitty said as she gave Peter the Ant-Man costume. "Let's go," Kitty then rushed to the nearest changing room followed by Peter.

A couple of minutes later and Peter comes out wearing the original Ant-Man costume, holding the helmet in his hands. Kitty then comes out wearing the EMH costume, "What do you think," she asked

"Hot," Peter answered making Kitty smile.

"Let's check the mirror," Kitty said, they then walked up to the mirror with Peter putting the Ant-Man helmet on.

"Nice," Peter said as he took a picture of them, in the costumes.

"Yeah, but I have like ten other Wasp outfits to try on," Kitty said

"TEN," Peter exclaimed, genuinely surprised,

"Ms. Van Dyne has gone through a lot on costumes over the years. 10 is only a fraction of the costumes that she's worn. I'm actually surprised the rest aren't here. Unless they're somewhere else in the store," Kitty said

Peter sighed, "Alright, let's get this over with," Peter said

"Why are you even complaining, you get to see me in spandex. I'd figure that'd excite you a little," Kitty said smiling making Peter smile. She then turned around and headed to the changing room. The next time she came back out she was wearing a purple leotard with high shoulder pads, a matching skirt and leggings, blue accent lines fringe the skirt, and her gloves and boots the same blue (Janette wore this is the comics, most likely Earth 616). "I like this one," Kitty said, she then walked up the mirror and stood by Peter. "So have you met Ant-Man and Wasp before?"

"No, never have, it's widely known that Dr. Pym has always been more interested in science than his duties as an Avenger, and Ms. Van Dyne, despite her more active role in the Avengers, has never been around when I met up with them. I've been part of the team for three months and I still haven't met them. Last I checked Dr. Pym wasn't doing any new research," Peter said

"It's probably because Ms. Van Dyne's new line that came out. I'm planning on getting those clothes, you know when I find them," Kitty said, she then scowled, "Every time I go to a store all of her clothes have been sold. I have to get those clothes, I'm still wearing last year's line," Kitty complained, Peter couldn't help but laugh, "It's not funny!"

"Sorry," Peter said trying to hold in his laugh.

Kitty sighed, "Whatever, I'm gonna go change into the next outfit, but first," she then takes her phone out and takes a picture of them together. After that Kitty walks to the changing room to change. It was five minutes later when she came back out, she was wearing the Marvel NOW initiative version. "You know I always liked the black and gold she had in her costumes. Was never big on the other colors."

"I thought you liked the purple one," Peter said

"Ok, excluding the purple one, she had just the right shade of purple," Kitty said as she walked over to Peter.

"I have to admit, gold and black work for you," Peter said as they looked in the mirror.

"You know the professor said that he thought of making the X-Men's outfits gold and black in the beginning," Kitty said

"Really? Why didn't he," Peter asked

"Something about wanting us to express ourselves, thought it would be a good way to let us grow. Although he seemed to abandon that philosophy with the New Mutants," Kitty said chuckling, she then took a quick picture of them, "Ok on to the next one."

"Are you really gonna try them all on," Peter asked

"Yep," Kitty said, she then turned around and headed to the changing rooms. Kitty did exactly what she said, she tried on every Wasp costume she had and posed and took pictures with Peter in them. Finally, Kitty has on her last Wasp suit, the changing room door opens, and Kitty comes out wearing the Unstoppable Wasp suit also known as the current suit of the Wasp.

Seeing her in the suit Peter couldn't help but whistle, "Impressive," he said

"Thank you," Kitty said, she then approached Peter and they looked in the mirror, "Not bad, but not what I'm looking for."

"Still one for the gallery," Peter said as he took a picture.

"This was the last costume, I'm gonna go change out of this and we can look for other costumes," Kitty said, she then went back into the changing room and changed out of her costume, Peter doing the same thing with his costume. After putting their costumes away, they continue looking. "Is it true that Hawkeye and Black Widow are a thing," Kitty asked as she looked at a Black Widow costume.

"Nah, they're more of a brother sister duo, although Hawkeye did once mention that Widow and Dr. Banner may have something going on. You want to go as Widow and I'll be the Hulk," Peter said

"No," Kitty immediately said, she then gave Peter a smirk, "If you went as Hulk, you'd have to go shirtless, and if you do that girls would be eyeing your chest, and this chest," Kitty said poking Peter's chest, "Is for my eyes and hands only. I will not let you tempt them."

"A jealous boyfriend for a jealous girlfriend," Peter joked

"I hold no guilt or shame of it," Kitty said

As they continue walking, they enter the Fantastic Four section of the store, "We could go as Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, they're just as iconic if not more than Ant-Man and Wasp," Kitty said as they look through the costumes.

"I don't know, their suits are pretty much identical, if Johnny found out I was wearing a suit, he'd never let me hear the end of it. Would be saying things like I was dressing up like him, and he never knew that I looked up to him, and that kind of stuff," Peter said

"How is Johnny? I haven't seen him in, I think four years," Kitty said as she remembers the last time she saw the Human Torch, back then he wasn't even the Human Torch, he was Johnny Storm the hot shot, self-proclaimed cool guy, a player, he had to have flirted with every girl in the school, and he's certainly never been short on dates. Kitty will admit to having a bit of a crush on Johnny for a bit, she was of course in love with Peter and if it had come down to who she wanted to be with Peter would have definitely been her choice. Johnny was never really friends with them though, Johnny tended to hang with the popular crowd, one of the things that broke her crush was his cocky and self-absorbed attitude back then, but he was never mean to them so that got him in her good books. He could have been a possible friend if he had got over his shallowness. They had gone to school with Johnny since 7th grade, when she moved freshman year Johnny was still at Midtown High, but when she moved back, he was no longer a student, apparently, he had gone on some space expedition with his sister Susan or Sue as she likes to be called, brother-in-law Reed, and Reed's best friend Ben. From what she heard he had snuck on the ship without them knowing, and when they were in space they got hit by a cosmic storm and got bathed in cosmic radiation giving them powers. It was apparently too risky for Johnny to go back to school because of his lack of control of his powers so he's been homeschooled since then. Kitty asks Peter because ever since they met up as Spider-Man and Human Torch they became great friends, in fact Peter has great relations with the whole team despite their rocky first meeting. Kitty knows that Peter is close to them, they trust him, and he trusts them, so much so that he's revealed his identity to them. That seemed to have brought Peter and Johnny closer, at this point their best friends, or well that's what Peter had told her.

"He's been good I guess, last I heard he went on some space expedition with his team, so they won't be back for a while," Peter informed

"I was wondering why there was a lack of them on the news. Some of the kids at the institute are speculating on why we haven't seen them. Some think they took a vacation; others think they retired because of the twins, and then there are those who think the Fantastic Four died," Kitty said

"Well, that's morbid," Peter said

"We have a few pessimists in the institute," Kitty said

"Well as far I know they're still alive," Peter said

"That's good. So, no Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman then," Kitty said

"Please spare me the annoyance that is Johnny," Peter answered making Kitty giggle.

"Ok, I'll spare you this time," Kitty said as they then walked out of the Fantastic Four section.

"You have to admit, they do have some great decorations," Peter said as he passed a life-sized version of Captain America.

"I'll say, everything is so detailed you'd think that they were real," Kitty said as she too noticed how life like the decorations were.

As they walked Kitty noticed a section of the store that made her smile, "Check this out," Kitty said as she headed toward the section followed by Peter. "Look, you and your team have your own section," she said as they entered the section.

Peter smiled, "It's not that surprising, my team has been around for two years Kitty," Peter said

"Still, I didn't know that you had your own section," Kitty said as she decided to explore what it had to offer. Peter followed her, he already knew what this section probably had but he couldn't help but wonder how realistic they made the suits. As they traveled the section Peter and Kitty looked at everything that they had. They had his original suit and his current suit, they had Iron Fist's and White Tiger's original suits plus their current ones, they also had Power Man's suit.

Peter looked at some of the baskets and found what looked like web shooters. He doubts that they knew he used web shooters most people think that he had organic webbing, only those close to him and a few villains know that isn't true. "Check this out," Peter said as he picked up the box that held the web shooters and showed it to Kitty who smiled at what she saw. She knows for a fact that Peter's web shooters look nothing like that. Kitty takes a closer look and reads what's on the box.

"It says that it shoots out silly string for webbing," Kitty said giggling. "Come on, let's go," she said as they exited the section and searched for a new place to look.

After some time searching aisles dedicated to the heroes themselves, such as Irom Man, Captain America, Wasp which Kitty spent a boat load of time looking through the costumes and trying them on, not that Peter was complaining, she looked really hot in some of them. He even took a few pictures of her on his phone, and she was more than happy to pose for him. They even found an aisle dedicated to Spider-Man which was amusing to say the least. As they continued walking something caught Peter's eye and he couldn't help but smirk, "Hey Kitty," Peter said getting his girlfriend's attention, "Look at this," he said pointing out what he sees.

Kitty looks to where Peter is pointing and can't believe her eyes. "No way," Kitty said as she runs over to confirm what she's seeing, and after a closer look Kitty sees that her eyes aren't deceiving her, "There's a section dedicated to the X-men," she exclaimed as she looked around. Peter walked on over to see Kitty going over all the accessories and costumes. Kitty takes out Jean's suit, "This looks exactly like Jean's suit," she says as she shows Peter the costume, "And Kurt's," Kitty then takes out Nightcrawler's costume. She looks around more and something else catches her eye, "No way," she said putting the costumes back, she then goes to what she sees, "They have Scott's visor," she said picking up a duplicate of Cyclops's visor and shows it to Peter. Kitty then puts it on, "How do I look?"

Peter laughed, "Like one of those people from those techno music videos," he said as Kitty then looks herself in the mirror.

"You're right, change the colors and I could so make this work," Kitty said, she then takes off the visor and puts it away. Her eye then catches something that puts a wide and excited smile on her face, "No way, NO WAY," she said as she runs up to a life size statue of her in her Shadowcat uniform, "Look at this, THIS IS SO COOL. THEY GOT MY SUIT AS A COSTUME. THEY HAVE ME AS A LIFE SIZE STATUE." Kitty knew that if there was a life size statue of her then there are most likely life size statues of the rest of her team, but she doesn't care about that the fact that her suit is a costume, and someone thought that she was good enough to make a statue of her was AWESOME.

Peter smiled at how excited and happy Kitty was. He'll admit that he isn't the most comfortable with people buying a life size statue of his girlfriend, there are a lot of weird people out there who would use the statue for more than a decoration. But he isn't gonna be a jealous and possessive boyfriend about it, after all those creeps may have the statue but he has the real one and he is enjoying her happiness. Peter walks up to Kitty as she checks out her costume.

"They were able to get everything right, it must have taken them forever to make it look like this," Kitty said, they must have gone through a lot of pictures and footage, or maybe even gone to one of the X-Men fights to get the detail, she certainly doesn't remember giving out on how her suit was made.

"Enjoying yourself," he asked

Kitty turned to Peter and laughed, "Sorry, I guess I got a little crazy," she said

Peter wraps his arm around Kitty's shoulders, "Don't apologize," he said kissing the side of Kitty's head, "You're excited and I like seeing you excited."

Kitty smiled wider at what Peter said, "I have to try on these costumes, I always wondered what I'd look like wearing Jean's or Rogue's. Oh, I just thought of something," she said

"What," Peter asked

"Jean and Scott are a couple. We can so dress up as them, grab a costume and let's go," Kitty said, she then took Jean's costume and rushed to the changing room. Peter just laughed; he loved seeing Kitty like this. Peter got himself a Cyclops costume and headed to the changing room.

A couple of minutes later and Peter and Kitty exit the changing rooms. They look each other over, deciding whether they liked the other's costume. "Looking good Kitty," Peter said

"Why thank you, you look good as well," Kitty said, she then grabbed Peter's hand, "Now come on, to the mirror," she then led Peter to the mirror. "Let's get into the right poses."

"Ok. Wait. How does Scott pose," Peter said

"I'll show you," Kitty said as she got into Scott's classic pose, "You got it?"

"Like this," Peter asked as he posed.

"Exactly, now hang on I have to put the camera on a timer," Kitty said, she quickly set up her camera timer on her phone, set her phone down and rushed next to Peter as she got in Jean's usual pose. Five seconds later, and they heard the camera go off signifying that the picture was taken. Kitty goes up to the phone and looks at the picture, "Now that is a good picture," she said as Peter walks up behind her and looks over her shoulder.

"It is good, does that mean you want to get these costumes," Peter asked

"Hmmm, no I don't think so, the picture is good, but it just doesn't feel right," Kitty said

"Well, I hate to say it, but it's getting late," Peter said as he shows Kitty the time on his phone, 7:30.

"7:30, I didn't know we've been here that long," Kitty said surprised, she had no idea that they were here for so long, time just seemed to have fly by. "And we're still no closer to choosing a costume."

"The party is on Halloween, we have twelve days to decide on what to wear," Peter said

Kitty sighed, "That's true, we could also use the time to go to the other malls and look for costumes, not to mention there are a few stores on the streets," Kitty said, maybe this isn't a bad thing, they can keep on shopping and have fun while doing it. Kitty smiled at the thought.

"So, I guess I'll just take you home then," Peter said

"You can take me home at 8:30, right now there is something else I'd like to do with you," Kitty said, her voice getting seductive.

"Oh, and what's that," Peter asked smiling with a raised eyebrow. In response Kitty wraps her arms around his neck.

"Something that we will both enjoy very much," Kitty said as she kissed Peter's neck and then went down.

"Sounds fun," Peter said

"Oh, it will be, first we need to change," Kitty said, she and Peter then went back to the changing rooms and changed back to their regular clothes. After putting the costumes away, they leave the store heading to the mall exit. As they walk through the mall, something catches Kitty's eye. "Hey Peter, check this out," Kitty said as they headed to a display case that has a TV in it. In order to show how good the TV is the store had it on. The channel that it was on was the news channel.

One the news channel, is an anchor woman outside in what looked like a crime scene, "I am here today in Brooklyn at a crime scene where it looked like a teenage boy has just been killed. There is no word from the police but what I do know is that no murder weapon has been found. This is not the first murder either, so far, according to my sources, there have been similar murders such as this one all over the world. People just dying, cold and white with terror etched on their faces. The killer seems to only hunt at night, no one has seen this person. Could this be the work of a serial killer? Who is the next victim on this person's list? The police have issued a warning, be careful at night, don't talk to anyone unfamiliar, and go straight to your destination. This is Heather Harrington signing off," the news woman Heather said

"Wow, that's scary," Kitty said

"Yeah, it is. I heard some about that, apparently 20 people were killed so far," Peter said

"So that would make this guy number 21," Kitty said, she sighed, "How can someone just kill another human being like that?"

"There are sick people, evil people out there. We both know that," Peter said

"Yeah," Kitty said as she looked at the TV solemnly, that poor boy having his life stolen from him like that, he had to have been maybe 16 at most. Now he'll never get to experience life.
