Peter Parker sailed through the streets of Manhattan in awe of his
surroundings. Nothing... not one crime was under way, no apartment
buildings was being burned to bits and no damsels in distress were being
thrown off of office towers. Not that Peter was complaining, of course, he
actually didn't have a problem with just swinging between buildings. He
liked to think while way up high in the sky. He thought about MJ and how
beautiful her long red hair was and how silky it was and so- but his
thoughts were stopped short when he saw none other than the local CNN TV
broadcasting building bursting into flames.
'I knew the tranquility wouldn't last long...' he thought
Peter swung as fast as he could and jumped right through the window of the building.
"Is anyone in here?" Spiderman yelled.
"We're over here! In the middle of the room, please help us we can't breathe!" the unknown voice yelled back.
Spiderman jumped over the fallen recording camera that looked as if it was made of wax and landed in the middle of the room and saw about ten people huddled together trying to stay away from the flames.
"Ok, I need you to come to me two at a time and I'll bring you down safely. Do you understand?" Spiderman said calmly but commanding
No one responded to Spiderman but instead two people came forward and one of them looked like their leg was broken. Spiderman picked them up, jumped over the wax camera that was now in flames and jumped out of the office building. Peter didn't realize that he was on the twenty-seventh floor and all three of them fell drastically. Peter shot out two strands of webbing and placed the two shaken up people down on the ground.
"These people need medical attention!" Spiderman yelled, "There are eight more people up there...I'm going" The firemen looked at him like he was crazy,
"You can't go in there! The whole buildings about to fall! You'll never make it out!" he yelled.
Spiderman didn't listen to another word the fireman was saying that jumped all the way up to the twenty-seventh floor.
After a lot of jumping and carrying, Spiderman landed on the ground with the last two people in his arms. He handed them over to the medics and was about to leave when the same fireman from before came up to him,
"That was a very risky thing you did up there," he said
"Someone's gotta do it." Spiderman stated almost in a shy kind of manner.
"Well me and the boys are awful glad that you got here in time or else those people up there wouldn't have made it out," said the fireman gratefully.
"It was no problem. I'm just glad everyone made it out ok" Spiderman said scratching his head.
Something in Peter's mind jumped out at him almost when he wasn't expecting it.
"Excuse me, do you have the time?" Spiderman asked the fireman in a panic.
"It's about two fifteen. You gotta be somewhere son?" said the fireman in primary colors.
"Actually I had to be somewhere fifteen minutes ago. I'd love to stay and chat but I really gotta go" said Spiderman as he jumped up and swung to the University as fast as he could.
It turns out that Peter did eventually get to class but he was thirty minutes late. Dr. Conners was not pleased with that.
After class Peter ran out and bumped into someone, knocking down all
their books.
"Awe, gee I'm so sorry," Peter said apologizing
"Don't worry about it Tiger, it was my fault," said Mary-Jane
"Oh hi MJ, I didn't recognize you there. How have you been?" said Peter
"Can't complain. But listen can we talk later I have an audition that I can't be late for. I'll talk to you later. Bye Tiger" said MJ as she ran off waving.
"It seems like everyone is in a hurry today," thought Peter
After class Peter decided to take another swing through the city to make sure the CNN building was still standing. Sure enough, it was and there was still a bunch of people standing around it. Mostly news reporters and cameramen who were giving the latest news on the situation. When Spiderman landed on the side of the building beside the burnt down one, no one really took notice that he was there. Only one new reporter saw him and was calmly walking towards him. Peter noticed that she was coming alone and without a camera so he decided to stay where he was. This girl didn't look very old; she was about Peter's age.
"Spiderman, the one and only, how about an exclusive?" said the blonde reporter
"I don't do interviews," said Spiderman as he jumped down from the building and landed three feet away from her.
"Ok, no interview. Can't we just talk? I mean, you just saved ten people from a burning building in less than ten minutes and your still alive. I just want to know how you do it," said blonde intrigued
Usually when reporters ask to talk to Spiderman they only want to ruin
his image even more. But for some reason Peter wasn't running off in a
hurry with this girl. She seemed honest and only out for a little
chat.
"Well, as long as you don't make me look bad," said Peter with a smile that was hidden behind his mask.
"That's impossible," said the reporter smiling
"What's your name? I usually try to stay away from reporters but I haven't seen you around. Are you new?" asked Spiderman
"Yes, I just started in the business. My name is Charlene Nandon. Pleased to meet you Spiderman," Charlene said with another smile.
"Likewise," said Peter as he jumped up on the wall for a more comfortable position while she asks him some questions.
"Ok, I'm just going to ask some personal questions first. If you don't mind,"
"No I don't' mind as long as they don't get to personal," said Peter
"Fair enough. Ok, were you born and raised in Manhattan?" asked Charlene
"Yea, " said Peter quickly
"Ok," Charlene seemed to be writing this down on a note pad very
quickly "have you been able to stick to walls your whole life?" she
added with a grin.
"Wouldn't you love to know," Peter said with a hint of anger "no, no I
haven't been able to stick to walls my whole life. I was actually
normal at one point in my life," he added with a playful head tilt.
Charlene laughed at the last comment. When she was done with the
giggles she started to stare at him as if to look right through him.
"You don't sound that old Mr.Spiderman...I mean a man with all the
abilities like yourself couldn't be some forty-year old man under that
mask right? How old are you?" Charlene said innocently as if to make
sure Spiderman didn't get offended.
"How old am I? If I were to tell you that do you have any clue how
many girls my age would be running around the streets looking for some
guy who can shoot webs from his wrist's?" Spiderman said skeptically
"It's a simple question. I seriously doubt that girl's would be
accusing their boyfriends of being Spiderman, it's a bit drastic don't
you think?" said Charlene
"No I don't think it's a bit drastic. There are a lot of insane people
in this city...that's for damn sure," he said looking at the ground.
"Well...are you going to tell me or not?" Charlene said getting a bit
pushy.
Peter thought of all the news stories that this information could
produce. But then he thought 'she hasn't got a news crew and she just
wanted to chat and she—
"Nineteen. I'm nineteen," Peter said a little to quickly
Charlene just stared for a minute at him.
"Nineteen? That's the same...well...I'm nineteen," Charlene started to
blush
"Are you? Well Miss. Nandon I think we now have something in common.
Are you still in school?" Spiderman asked
"Ye-Yes, yes I'm in university. I go to Empire State," Charlene was
startled at the reaction she got
"Empire State? Hmmm," Spiderman said intrigued
"You go there too don't you?!" Charlene almost yelled
It was as if she could read his mind. Peter quickly racked his brain
trying desperately to think if he had ever seen Charlene at school
before.
"Yea I go there. But I don't want you to go around checking out all
the nineteen year-old guys at Empire. Your gonna look very out of
place let me tell you," Spiderman chuckled
"You-You go to EMPIRE STATE? That's so cool! Spiderman goes to my
University!" Charlene was ecstatic
"Whoa now calm down. Even dangly little spiders like me need an
education. Don't you agree?" Spiderman said
Peter thought that this meeting had gone a bit too far for his liking
and he jumped down from the side of the building to say good-bye to
Charlene.
"What—Where are you going?" Charlene stammered
"I have to get going now. Now, don't go putting ideas into peoples
heads about their boyfriend being Spiderman," Peter said smiling
"Why?" asked Charlene
"Because I don't have a girlfriend," Peter said
"You-you don't? Well maybe I'll see you around campus. If you ever see
me just tap me on the shoulder and say hi," Charlene said eagerly.
"Will do," Peter said saluting her.
Charlene watched as Spiderman jumped up and swung his way into the
city. She stood on the spot amazed.
'He's single, he's my age and he goes to my school...I HAVE GOT TO FIND
HIM!" Charlene said determined
'I knew the tranquility wouldn't last long...' he thought
Peter swung as fast as he could and jumped right through the window of the building.
"Is anyone in here?" Spiderman yelled.
