A/N: Hey everyone, sorry if this is been kinda slow going but hopefully business will pick up here. Also, I know in pitch perfect they're called the bellas but since this takes place at NYU and not barden, they'll be their all-girl a cappella group, the Cleftomaniacs.

Thankyou and here is chapter 3.

Beca was making her way to the first day of rehearsals. She was still a little bummed about seeing chloe with that guy last night at the initiation party. She liked Chloe a lot but the odds did not seem to be in her favor.

Meanwhile, at the rehearsal hall on campus,

"Has anyone seen beca?" Aubrey was pacing impatiently for the only girl late.

"She'll be here soon" amy trying to cover for her friend. "She just gets caught up and hasn't gotten the hang of this new group yet" she hesitantly said.

"Caught up with what?" she replied with a snarky tone. "Getting penetrated by that guy Jesse?"

Amy's eyes widened in shock. "Ok first off, ew! And second did you just use the word penetrate?" She asked raising an eyebrow and eyes wide in shock and disgust.

Before Aubrey could answer, "I'm here!" beca called entering the room. "Sorry, my fault, won't happen again" she quickly said walking to her seat.

"Like hooking up with jesse?" the blonde stopped her as she walked past.

"What?" beca meaning to sound angry but couldn't hide the smile.

"Jesse" the taller girl replied with a serious tone. "I saw the way you two were chatting last night"

Beca shot chloe a look, remembering what she thought. "What is it that..." she turned back to Aubrey. "...look, me and jesse are just best pals ok? Besides it wouldn't even work out between me and him, we're way too different" she stated as calmly as possible.

She sighed "Just remember you took an oath, ok?"

"That oath didn't stop you from staring at him all night" the smaller girl mumbled as she walked to her seat, receiving a glare from the blonde.

"Can you believe she thought that?" the brunette whispered as she sat next to amy.

"Yea and she used the word penetrate too" she whispered back, beca widened her eyes at her friend.

"Besides that won't be easy" Stacie stated from the front row. "He's a hunter" she motioned to her crotch.

"You call it a dude?" beca replied from behind, receiving a nod.

"Stac" Aubrey walking in front of the girl. "The trebles don't respect us and if we let them penetrate us, they'll take our power" making the girl close up her legs, feeling embarrassed.

"Again with the word, penetrate" Amy whispered to Beca.

"Ok!" the captain clapped her hands and motioned for Chloe to pass out flyers to the group. "This Saturday, we will have a pre regionals showing at times square. All NYU acapella groups will get to show off their talent and give the other groups a taste of what's to come in the tournament" Chloe walked back next to her co-captain as she finished passing the flyers.

"So, we will be spending our time, until then, rehearsing and doing several exercises which include vocal strengthening and cardio" nobody liked the sound of that, especially not amy.

The whole day was basically running up, around and down the bleachers and making stupid sounds with their mouths. Beca thought this seemed more like army training than rehearsing. When they finally got to rehearsing dance routines, beca was having some trouble keeping up.

"Seriously beca!" Aubrey frustratedly huffed. "You should've had it by now!"

"Look, Aubrey" the brunette shot back. "I'm really trying here, but the choreography is all over the place!"

Chloe had to prevent this from getting worse. "Here, let me help" she walked behind beca.

"Let me see ur hands" beca tried her best not to squirm as the taller woman became incredibly close and took her hands. "Relax, trust me" the taller woman trying to calm the brunette's tension.

The shorter woman allowed the ginger to take control and move her to the right positions. She got lost in the feeling of having her crush move her around. When it was over, beca turned to the girl behind her and looked down, trying to hide the blush, when she noticed how close their faces were.

"Thanx" she smiled.

"Anytime" the red head replied with a wink.

The two split, chloe walked back over to aubrey and beca walked back to the rest of the group, who all had wide eyed expressions.

"What?" the brunette stared confusenly and they all went back to their businesses.

At the end of rehearsals, everyone was gathered around.

"Ok, everybody know their positions?" Aubrey asked receiving nods all around. "Remember to pick up uniforms before saturday! Now hands in maniacs" everyone just stood looking at each other in confusion. "Hands in aca-bitches!" Aubrey stated more sincerely and everyone did so.

"Sing aw" she called. Fat Amy immediately did and took it way high.

"No no she means on three" chloe quickly reassuring the blonde. Amy didn't make eye contact with anyone.

"Ok" Aubrey called. "One, two, three" and everyone awed as they raised their hands. Beca and chloe shot looks and traded smiles and waves at each other before turning away.

Before everone left, Jesse walked in towards beca and amy.

"Hey guys!" he smiled as he walked up.

"What are you doing here?" Aubrey gave a suspicious look.

"Just...here to pick up the girls" jesse froze up.

"It's alright" beca placed a hand on his shoulder. "She's just worried ur gonna penetrate me" she smiled.

Jesse turned to the blonde with a strange look. She gave him a nervous laugh.

"Uh...yea um...I had a...lot to drink last night...and I tend to say stupid things when I'm hungover" she took a deep breath reassuring herself.

Jesse smiled at her. "Aubrey? Isn't it?"

"Aubrey Posen" she nodded. "and by the way I never got ur full name"

Jesse sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "Jesse Osborn"

"Osborn?"

"Yep"

"...as in..."

"Mmhmm"

Her eyes widened. "Wow"

"Not really" he shook his head. "It has its flaws"

"Try living with my dad" she scoffed and he smiled.

"Well, it was...good seeing you aubrey" he nodded with a smile.

"You too Jess" before she realized what she called him he already had a full grin and turned away. Beca shot up her eyebrows before doing the same, amy followed the two.

Aubrey turned to Chloe once they were gone.

"Uh what happened to never dating a treble?" she had an eyebrow raised.

"Well...trebles aren't usually so...tall" she weakly replied making the red head giggle. "and what was that going on with you and beca?" Aubrey now raising an eyebrow.

Chloe froze with a panicked look. "What?" she shrugged. "I was helping her so what?" not making eye contact with the blonde. Aubrey just stood there staring at the ginger with hands on her hips. "Look aubrey..." she sighed, "...what's it to you anyway?" chloe getting defensive.

Aubrey took a deep breath before answering. "Look, chlo, you can't keep doing this to yourself. Ur gay, and nobody, not even Tom can change that" she stated calmly.

Chloe had a worried look on her face. "I know bree but...it's just easier and..." chloe shook her head and sighed, "what if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"You kidding? Did you not see how she reacted to you?" Aubrey stated like it was obvious. "Just be careful ok? There's something about her that's...just off" she shook her head.

"But not the treble?" chloe replied looking up with a smirk. Aubrey seemed irrited.

Chloe laughed and pulled her bestie in for a hug. "Thanx bree"

Jesse was entering his father's office. Norman Osborn had a robe on and an I.B. tag in his arm as he worked on his computer.

"Hey dad" he closed the door behind him.

"What is it son?" looking up from his computer.

"Just wanted to let you know I may not be around much for a while, you know with school and the trebles" he cautiously stated.

"That's ok" his father nodded reassuringly. "Any girlfriends?"

Jesse smirked. "I...may have one soon"

"What's her name?"

"Aubrey" he smiled widely.

"Well I hope it goes well for ya" Norman not losing his smile.

"Thanx dad" his son smiled back.

"Hey Jesse" he called right before his son left. "I'm proud of you...for everything you've done" jesse seemed surprised. "I..." norman sighed as he looked down, "I know I haven't said that much, but I mean it" he nodded.

Jesse was speechless. "Um...thanx" he sighed with a smile.

"Tell beca and amy I said hi, I miss those two" Norman smirked.

"Will do" jesse turned to open the door and walk out.

Norman had a worried look once his son left. He sighed as he turned back to his computer.

It was Saturday, the day of the pre regionals at Times Square. The cleftomaniacs were all in their flight attendant suits, boarding the bus.

"Ok girls!" Aubrey called as she stood by the door while everyone walked in. "Look sharp and sing proud!"

Beca took a seat in the back next to amy. "I cannot believe we have to wear these stupid outfits" she sighed.

"Well at least we're not dressed like strippers" amy smiled at the brunette, receiving one in return. "Oh, you got your spidey outfit?" she whispered.

Beca looked to make sure everyone was at a distance before lightly pulling the shirt to reveal the top of her spidey suit. "Everything else is in the bag" she whispered.

Chloe walked to where beca and amy were sitting and leaned in. "Hey" she smiled anxiously at the two. "Nervous?"

"A little" beca nodded. Chloe brought down her hand on her arm.

"So am I, but you'll be just fine" she smiled down at the brunette. Beca smiled back up to her.

"Ok" she whispered and chloe went back to her seat next to aubrey. Beca had grown even closer to the ginger during the week, she loved it. She looked over at amy smiling mischievously.

"You should crawl on the ceiling and give her a surprise kiss on the head or whisper dirty things before disappearing" beca gently slapped her friend in the cut, causing her to giggle.

They made their way to the showing at times square. There was a huge crowd with lots of activities and different shows going on, It was huge. Beca and the cleftomaniacs got to put on their performance, only to have some douche from one of the other groups interrupt and complain.

The maniacs angrily went up to the building that held the party for all the acapella groups.

"Who is funding all of this?" Stacie asked smiling at the sight of the place.

"Oscorp has been covering most of it, from what I heard" Cynthia rose stated.

Aubrey walked in front of the group to face them all. "Ok, what happened out there? Chloe! Your high notes were way off!" Chloe looked scared and embarrassed about something. She started walking, not knowing what to say.

"Chloe what is it?" Aubrey trying to stop her.

"I have nodes!" chloe blurted out with tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh my God Chloe I'm so sorry" the blonde comforted her friend.

"Wait, what are nodes?" beca asked confusingly.

"Vocal nodules that strain the cords and crush ur dreams" Aubrey replied.

Chloe rushed out to the balcony where she could see all of Times Square and nobody could see her. Beca came up behind and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Chloe I'm sorry" she gently tried to help the crying ginger. "It's ok you can still sing tho"

"Yea but now...I'm limited and this has been my whole life and I don't know what I'm gonna do now" chloe panicked at the realization.

"But chlo there's dozens of things you can do" the brunette trying to aspire hope and confidence in her friend. "You can be a music teacher, an instructor or help people. I mean yes ur limited now, but you can do amazing things, things that would take a miracle to do, you even got me to join this group!" she stated strongly. "I mean who else do you think could do that, huh?"

The redhead began to smile a little. "You are amazing! And the fact that ur still trying to sing means ur a fighter and fighters don't quit do they?"

Chloe brightly smiled and wiped away her tears. "Ur right, I'm a survivor and I'll keep moving forward" she took a deep breath. "But man I just wish I didn't feel like God was punishing me or whatever" she said waving her arms.

"Well you are a ginger after all" beca smirked, receiving a look from the other girl. "Sorry, bad joke" she quickly recovered.

Chloe began to smirk. "Actually it was kinda funny" she laughed and beca joined.

"Man are they cute or what?" Cynthia rose stated as she and the others watched from the entrance.

"Yea they should totally get together" Jessica replied and though Aubrey didn't really like beca, she saw how happy chloe was with her and probably had to agree.

Chloe and Beca finally noticed the audience they had and chuckled embarrassingly. "Come on, let's go party" Chloe grabbing the other girl's hand to lead her inside.

Beca stopped and pulled away when she felt a buzz in the back of her head. She quickly turned to the crowd below but everything seemed to be fine.

"Beca? You alright?" Chloe asked.

"Uh...yea" she slowly started to turn back. "Yea just..." she felt another buzz and turned her head in a different direction, looking down the street, feeling something approaching.

"Is something wrong becs?" Chloe walked up behind the brunette.

"I don't know" beca shook her head not knowing why her spider senses were going off, but she couldn't shake this feeling.

Suddenly, she saw something approaching in the distance. Some kinda bird maybe? No, as it got closer the shape became more noticeable. It was something....green.

It was headed in their direction. More people started noticing it, hearing the sounds that gave off it's approach. The figure flew closer and closer, the crowd below cheering as it flew over.

"The hell is that?" Amy confusenly and scaredly asked.

Once it flew by the balcony, beca finally got the glimpse of it. It was a man, a green man on some sort of glider. He was wearing some kinda armor that had blades sticking out of the lower arms and legs. And his face, it was horrible. It was a green, scaley looking texture with rinkles all over. Big yellow eyes that could scare anyone and a big evil grin across his face with pointy ears. He looked like a goblin of some type.

Beca's eyes widened at the sight. He was coming back. He was aimed towards the balcony. It was large enough to hold about thirty to fifty people maybe. He had something in his hand, something gold. He mischievously and evily laughed as he flew by and through the golden sphere at the far left side of the balcony.

Boom! The explosion was massive. It took out the entire left side of the balcony and left the right side crumbling.

Beca fell off, quickly pulling out one of the web shooters in her shoulder bag, shooting to attach it to the balcony and lower herself down. Nobody seemed to notice from all the panic.

"Beca!" Chloe screamed from above, looking over to find the brunette.

"I'm fine! Just stay there!" she quickly shouted back and began running, tearing off her flight attendant suit to reveal her spidey outfit.

The rest of the balcony was falling apart, chloe couldn't move at all without something falling off.

"Chloe hang on!" Aubrey called reaching for her friend. Chloe tried reaching for her but they were too far apart. The part of the balcony aubrey was on started to crumble a little and stacie and cynthia had to pull her back.

Chloe heard the sound of a glider rising and looked over to see the green goblin rising up. His evil grin growing when he saw her.

"Hello my dear" he said creepily, the red head screaming at the sight of him.

"It's Spider-woman!" a voice called. The goblin looked over, only to be met with a swinging kick, knocking him off his glider. As he fell, the glider flew under, catching him just in time.

Spider-woman jumped on the wall with her sights on chloe.

"Help me, please!" the ginger called.

"Hold on I gotcha!" the hero positioned herself to where she could stay on the wall, catch chloe with a web and bring her to safety. But just when she shot out her web, goblin swooped in, forcing her to jump outta the way of his glider blades.

As she shot web after web and swung her way around Times square, the goblin followed close behind.

Beca grabbed a pole holding a balloon, swinging around and colliding her knees with the menace's face, once again knocking him off the glider and this time having him land on a tent below. His glider flying through a balloon and some of the wires holding it up. The balloon and equipment keeping it up was gonna fall on a kid below. Beca quickly swung her way down, desperately trying to make it in time. It continued to fall and was about to collapse. Beca swooped in just in the nick of time and returned him to his mother.

She glanced over to where the goblin had fallen. He slowly rose, now with a very angry look.

"Hold it right there?" a police officer called.

"I surrender" goblin replied, holding his hands up. The band of officers made their way to the menace. Once they got to close he made quick work of them.

Spidey swooped in to create an assault, but every punch and kick she threw was either dodged or blocked, he was somehow even faster than she was. She almost had him, but he caught her right hand at full force.

"Not bad" he smiled before kicking the hero to a far distance. "But not enough spidey"

She collapsed to the street, she had never felt a force like that before, it was shocking. Goblin hopped back on his glider and quickly made his way towards the vigilante. She ran as fast as she could as the goblin opened fire, the bullets just barely missing her feet.

He fired a rocket which she quickly avoided by shooting a web to lift her away. She jumped back down to grab the plated lid of a manhole. She used it to block the next rocket goblin fired at her before jumping up and pulling the lid by web to smash against the villain, knocking him away.

She heard a familiar scream from the crumbling balcony above. It wouldn't last much longer. She first shot a web to pull on top of a balloon she bounced off to make her way towards the ginger, only to be caught by gobbling again, pushing her up against a glass wall.

She quickly swung back her arm but again, the goblin was too fast, ducking the arm, giving her a body shot then right hook to the jaw. But before he connected with a left hook, she ducked and gave him a shot right where it hurts most. She slid threw his legs and jumped to capture his head with her legs. She shot webs at the side walls and pulled with her legs, flipping and sending him head first into the wall.

Before goblin could free his head and recover, beca moved to the back of the glider, finding some cords and ripping them out. She jumped off and attached to the wall before the glider spun out of control with the villain still on it.

"THIS ISN'T OVER SPIDER-WOMAN!" he called as he staggered away.

"AAAAHHHH!" beca looked up to the scream. The balcony collapsed and chloe was falling. Beca ran along the wall as fast as possible before launching herself off and grabbing the red head in mid air.

"HOLD ON TO ME!" she screamed before shooting webs off to swing away with the ginger clutching to her for dear life. The crowd cheered and praised as the two swung away.

When Chloe looked up to see she was safe, she breathed heavily in the moment of her hero carrying her away through the city. The rush of the air, the freedom of the open space, It was almost like flying to her and it was amazing.

Beca finally let down on a garden, letting the taller woman loose when she did. "Well, beats using the subway" she and the ginger smiled. "Are you ok chloe?"

"Yea, thanx to you" she breathed. "Wait, how do you know my name?"

Beca panicked. "I...know everybody" she quickly recovered. "That's how I keep close watch" chloe stared at her hero, getting the suspicious feeling there was something familiar about her. "What? Am I not as tall as you thought?"

Chloe smiled. "No but who cares right?" she shrugged and just as the hero was about to take off, "no wait! Who are you?"

Beca hesitated for a sec and then smiled under her mask. "You know who I am"

"I do?" the ginger replied confusenly.

"Your friendly neighborhood spider-woman!" she happily stated before launching herself away. Chloe watched in astonishment as her hero swung away and cheered. She smiled brightly after her hero.

"And you didn't even kiss her?" Jesse was shocked. "What is wrong with you mitchell?"

"In do time osborn, in do time" beca smiled at jesse as she sat on her bed.

"Ugh, ur unbelievable becs" he shook his head. "Now you sure you girls are ok?" he asked turning to amy.

"Yea we're fine thanx to the web slinger here" amy replied pointing to beca. "Thanx for checking in"

"Anytime, let me know if you need anything ok?"

"Alright, thanx Jess" beca smiled and her friend waved as he left.

"Well now your gonna hafta make a move on chloe or I'll kill you" amy joked.

"You can try" and both girls giggled.

"Alright I'm gonna crash" she began pulling the covers over her. "Aubrey's giving everyone a break after what happened today so we get to sleep in" amy leaned to the side and placed her head on her hand with a smirk.

"You go ahead, I'm gonna stay up for a while" beca stated looking concerned.

"The hell was that thing bec?" amy shakenly asked.

"I don't know, but I hafta find a way to stop it" she said determinedly.
