Brrrrrrriiiinnnnnng
The bell indicating the end of another school day sounded. I jumped up and jogged out of the room.
"Peter! Dude! Dude! Dude!" Ned shuffled after me.
"What?" I asked turning around to face him. I wanted to just hurry up and get in my suit. I needed to patrol.
Ned leant over to catch his breath once he reached me. "You... forgot... your... books." He puffed out handing me my science book.
"Oh! Right." I laughed. "Thanks man."
"No... problem..." He stood up straight. "Are you sure that there is no way of another spider biting me? I mean come on. I wanna be able to run like you can dude."
I laughed at his quirkiness. "Sorry man. I don't think so."
"Ugh. Fine. Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow dude." Ned concluded.
"See ya! I'll call you if anything comes up!" I yelled to him as I ran off again.
"Guy in the chair!" Ned yelled after me.
I ran through the streets until I reached Delmar's. I walked in and was greeted by the usual scents of Mr. Delmar's sandwiches.
"Hey Mr. Parker!" Mr. Delmar chimed in greeting.
"Hey Mr. Delmar!" I smiled as I walked over to the counter.
"The usual?" He asks me.
"Yes please! And can I get a powerade too? Uh the red flavour please." I smiled.
"Sure." He reached into the fridge and set the bottle of the bench. He then walked behind the counter to make my sandwich. "Anything going on with you? How's school going?" He asked me.
"Yeah. It's alright. Though it's still just as boring. I've got better and more important things to do." I shrugged.
"I've told you many times before. But, stay in school kid. You'll be thankful in the long run." He lectured me.
"Yeah I know." I smiled. Mr. Delmar grabbed my sandwich and handed it to me.
"Best sandwiches in Queens." He smiled. "Have a nice day Mr. Parker."
"You too Mr. Delmar." I walked out but not before stopping to scratch Murph behind the ears. "See ya Murph."
I ran down the street into an alley to get changed. I webbed my bag to the wall and swung out of the alley landing on the top of a nearby building. "Sup Karen. Anything happening?"
"Hey Peter." Karen greeted. "Nothing out of the ordinary yet. I'll keep scanning to see if I can find anything though."
"Thanks Karen. In the meantime I'll just sit down and eat my sandwich then." I walked over to the edge of the building and sat down swinging my leg back and forth as I ate my sandwich. I looked at my phone. "Ok. It's 3:15..." I said to myself. "Aunt May wants me home at 6." I reminded myself. Aunt May found out that I was Spider-Man around a month ago. She walked in right after I had gotten back from Mr. Starks new Avengers facility and she saw me with my suit. Some colourful language was used... but eventually we sorted everything out.
"Peter. There appears to be a commotion 200 meters east currently. It looks like a woman is being mugged." Karen informed me.
"Oh! Nice! Well not nice. But you know what I mean. It's boring when I have nothing to do." I said while I began swinging from building to building. I landed on a street post around 20 meters away from the robber. I jumped down on the sidewalk and strolled up to him. "Hey man. You know stealing from a lady is very rude you know." I sassed. He shot me a dirty look.
"Back off Spider-freak." He spat. "Just move along and no one gets hurt."
"Yeah. Or. I could stay here and kick your ass like this." I quickly webbed his hands to the wall of the building and webbed his mouth shut. "Are you alright ma'am?" I asked the woman.
"Yes. Th-thank you Spider-Man." She smiled at me.
"No problem ma'am!" I chimed as I swung off again.
The next 20 minutes where long and boring. I had nothing to do so I just lied on the top of a building staring at the sky talking to Karen about random stuff.
"Hey Karen, what time is my test tomorrow?" I asked.
"You have an English exam scheduled tomorrow at 12:45 pm." Karen stated.
"Ok. Thanks... you know I probably should have studied for that..." I cringed at myself. Great. I'm going to be in a lot of trouble from May... oh well. "Hey Karen-"
"There is currently another robbery taking place at Delmar's. There are two armed men. You need to hurry to them." Karen informed me.
"Delmar's? I'm on it!" I quickly jumped up and swung back to Delmar's.
When I got there, there were police cars outside the building. I jumped down and landed next to someone. "What happened?" I asked.
"Ah!" They jumped. "Oh. Spider-Man." They regained themselves. "Two armed robbers have taken hostages inside the Deli." He told me. "Can you take care of this? Neither of them are responding to negotiation. We need to get those hostages out."
"Of course I'm on it." I swung off behind the building. I crawled up the side of the wall around to the back entrance. I jumped down in front of the door and knock. "Hello? Anyone home?" I childishly asked.
"BACK OFF SPIDER-MAN! IF YOU COME IN HERE WE'LL SHOOT THE HOSTAGES! I'VE GOT A YOUNG BOY RIGHT HERE! IF YOU COME ANY CLOSER I'LL KILL HIM!!" He screamed from inside the building. "I'LL DO IT!"
"NO! PLEASE SAVE MY BOY!" I woman's voice screamed. It was clearly the mother. "PLEASE!"
"SHUT UP! B****! OR I'LL SHOOT YOU TOO!" Another man yelled.
"Mummy I'm scared!" The little boy whimpered. My heart dropped hearing his tone.
"Karen what do I do?" I asked my AI.
"I don't know Peter. Would you like me to activate instant kill mode?" Karen suggested.
"Karen I swear if you mention that one more time-" I was cut off by something. There was a rush of air passed me and something went into the wall. I couldn't see it but I know it was there. The door then unlocked and slowly opened.
I flinched and was prepared to web up whatever was on the other side. But there was nothing. I walked in the room.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" S**t. The man pointed a gun at me he was around 10 meters away. He had just entered the room. "DON'T MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT!"
"Hey! Hey man!" I put my arms up in surrender. "It's all good! Relax! I'm-"
"SHUT UP! WE HAVE HOSTAGES AT GUNPOINT! IF YOU DO ANYTHING WE'LL KILL ALL OF THEM!" He yelled. My heart rate sped up. I was stuck. If I did anything, they'd shoot... I was at a dead end. "ON THE GROUND NOW!" He yelled at me. "NOW! DON'T MAKE ME-" He was cut off by something. He was in an unnatural pose. I didn't understand what was happening.
"Quickly! Go out there and free the hostages! I have him!" It was a girl's voice.
"H-hello?" I frantically looked around for the source. "Is anyone there?"
"Go! Quickly! Go!"
I listened and ran out the door into the main room. I hear I scream behind me. It must have been the man. It wasn't a woman's scream.
"STOP! I WILL SHOOT! I WILL SHOOT!" The man yelled at me. He was holding a little boy. "MATHEW! WHERE ARE YOU!?" He yelled for the man that the mysterious woman had stopped. "THAT'S IT I'M SHOOTING THIS LITTLE-" He stooped mid sentence as well. The little boy wrapped in him arm whimpered but the man looked fazed. His eyes were clouded over and he was slightly swaying.
"What the-?" I was so confused. Then out of the nowhere a figure appeared out of thin air. She was cloaked and had a buff on hiding the bottom half of her face and a hood over her head. She only revealed her eyes. Her purple eyes?
I hadn't noticed but I had been standing there for a while just looking at her... was it weird that I thought she looked pretty?... PETER WHAT THE HELL YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT RIGHT NOW AND YOUR IMMEDIATE REACTION TO SOME GIRL POPPING UP OUT OF NOWHERE IS TO THINK THAT SHE LOOKS PRETTY!?! SERIOUSLY!? I mentally beat myself.
As I was slapping myself back into reality the girl spoke.
"sleep" She held her hand out open palmed to the man whose eyes shut closed and fell to the floor in a deep slumber.
"What the-" I puzzled. The girl looked at me. "What are you waiting for? Go on save all the hostages." She gestured to everyone else as she ran over to the little boy. "Hey, are you alright?" She spoke in a soothing voice. The little boy looked at her with wide eyes and nodded slowly. A smile broke across his face.
"Th-thank you!" He wrapped his arms around her smiling.
"My little Zacky!" The mother of the boy ran over to her son. "Thank you! thank you! Thank you so much!" the mother was in tears holding her son. "Who are you?"
"Murasaki." She replied. Oh that's her superhero name.
"Thank you Murasaki." The woman smiles and hugged her.
We both freed all the hostages. The police were about to come inside to scope the scene and collect the criminals.
I turned to Murasaki. "Crap I gotta go." Murasaki stated and turned to leave running out the back door.
"Wait!" I ran after her onto the streets. "Wait!"
She turned and saw me coming. One second she was there then the next she was gone. I ran to where she had disappeared. "Wait! I just wanted to talk! Hello? Great she's gone..." I huffed and lent against the wall of a building. That was amazing... where did she come from?
