Well, I promised you guys and you even demanded it. The follow up to Spider Man: Apocalypse is finally here. This chapter will be establishing where our friendly neighborhood wall crawler has been since we last saw him in the previous story. As for the way I'm telling this story, think of this as a pseudo continuation of the Spectacular Spider Man cartoon but with Supergirl being a very prominent supporting character throughout (as well as a few elements from the Supergirl TV show with a mix of her Pre-New 52 stuff). However, this chapter will introduce three more supporting characters. One character will be from a certain Batman cartoon you may have forgotten about, another you will probably know from Flash lore (or if you watch the Flash TV show), and the third character will be a character DC has forgotten about but we DCAU fans remember him fondly. Keep in mind though, he doesn't have his powers yet. So, let's begin but first...

Manhattan NY

"COME ON GUYS MOVE IT," one of the masked men say as he and three others leave a bank after robbing it.

They get to their car and immediately drive off. More police cars show up and are in pursuit of the vehicle. One of the crooks, that was in the back passenger seat, emerges from the window with a shotgun and aims it a one of the police cars. The criminal opens fire and blows out the tires of one of the police cruisers, causing it to swerve off course and get in the way of the other cars that were right behind it. Another police car also swerves off course and rear ends another car that was parked on the side of the street. The police car flips into the air and was about to hit a crowd full of people. The civilians see the police car flying towards them and they begin to cover their eyes awaiting their inevitable doom. However, their demise didn't come. They opened their eyes and see the same police car now being suspended in mid-air in what looks to be a giant web. Then, from out of nowhere a red and blue clad figure swings by and is now on pursuit of the vehicle that was responsible of almost hurting those innocent people.

There were cheers from the crowd, "Way to go Spidey. Go get em web head."

Inside the car one of the crooks opened up one of the bags of money and gives a wide grin, "We lost the coppers, there are no super people in sight. It's our lucky day boys."

Suddenly, out of the nowhere, the car door near the crook was ripped open and he was yanked out of the car. "

WHAT THE HELL?" asks one of the thugs in fear.

The car door on the other side begins to rip open and the criminal on the other side of the car was also pulled out of it. Only two thugs remain: The driver and the passenger.

"Shit man," says the crook on the passenger side. "It's Batman isn't it? I thought the guy only operates over in Gotham City."

Suddenly Spider Man lands right in front of them and greets the two remaining crooks, "Hate to disappoint you guys, but I'm not Batman, but trust me, I'm way more fun than he is. So, are you guys gonna pull over or do I have to stop this unauthorized NASCAR tryout myself?"

"GET FUCKED BUG," the criminal on the passenger side answers as he pulls out his gun and shoots at the wall crawler through the windshield.

Spider Man moves to from the windshield to the roof of the car where the crook continues to fire at the ceiling. Spider Man suddenly gets inside the back of the car to which the thug had his gun at the ready. The spider hero webs up his gun before he even got a chance to open fire. The criminal fires anyway and ends up injuring his hand.

"AAAH, SHIT," the thug screams.

"Ouch, maybe that wasn't such a good idea huh?" Spider Man jokingly asks. "Now to put a stop to this little joyride."

From the outside, the car can now be seen swerving left and right until one person was thrown out of one side of the car and another person was thrown out the other. Then the car immediately comes to an instant stop. Spider Man is seen getting out of the car looking at the two unconscious criminals laying on the street ahead of him. Moments later the two crooks are now seen hanging from a light post while Spider Man stands by and watches his handy work.

"Now, what have we learned?" the wall crawler jokingly asks them.

The thugs have their mouths covered in webbing so anything they're saying is muffled. Hordes of squad cars and a black sedan appear behind Spider Man and two women got out of the sedan. One was a woman with short blonde hair and glasses, wearing a brown jacket with a blue shirt underneath, jeans and white sneakers. The other woman was of Asian descent and had her long dark hair in a ponytail. She's wearing a red jacket with a black shirt underneath brown khaki pants and black leather boots. These women were Ellen Yin, a police detective who came from Gotham city and Patty Spivot a forensic scientist from Central City. They moved from their respective cities for their own reasons. Patty wanted to move away from Central City because she didn't like how things were going at the CCPD regarding the new police chief they had, and Yin was simply transferred from GCPD by the request of the current NYPD police captain Jean DeWolfe. Upon working with the NYPD both women have heard of a certain wall crawler patrolling these streets and each of them have their own opinions on him. Yin isn't a huge fan of vigilantes. She wasn't even tolerant of Batman when she used to live in Gotham so she doesn't approve of Spider Man's way of stopping crime. In fact, she doesn't trust him. That and she finds his attitude towards a serious situation to be quite irritating. Patty, on the other hand, is a huge supporter of Spider Man. Central City had a hero of their own in the form of The Flash, and she feels that what the web slinger is doing here in the Big Apple is no different than what the scarlet speedster is doing in his city. She also doesn't mind his humor. The Flash was kind of the same way with his optimistic nature.

One important thing to note about Patty Spivot is that she has been with the NYPD ever since George Stacy was still alive and was the police captain, while Yin didn't show up until shortly after DeWolfe was put in charge. During those earlier times, Patty enjoyed working with Captain Stacy and was happy to know that he too had a positive opinion on Spider Man (Of course, she's also happy that DeWolfe shares those same sentiments, even though it to her some time.). Both of them would have conversations about how beneficial he was to cleaning up the city. Captain Stacy even shared his suspicions with Patty on the fact that web slinger may in fact be a high school kid who's friends with his daughter Gwen. Patty was able to confirm that Stacy's suspicions were correct. One night, on her way to her car after leaving the police station, she noticed the Green Goblin flying by carrying what appears to be a teenage boy with brown hair and she followed them to a warehouse. There she witnessed a battle between Spider Man and the Green Goblin. It was the fight that resulted in the Goblin getting amnesia. She was able to overhear their conversation during the fight and it was through them that she found out that not only Peter Parker was Spider Man but also that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin. She was able to record the entire fight/conversation on her phone without being seen, and as soon as the fight was over and Spider Man left with Osborn in tow she called Captain Stacy. When the two were able to meet up in private, Patty showed the Captain the video footage. On one hand this was great news because they now know who this Green Goblin character is and they can expose him. The problem, is that it would mean having to risk exposing Spider Man's identity as well, so they both agreed that they had to keep this knowledge to themselves until they were given another opportunity to expose Osborn without exposing Peter as well. After Captain Stacy's death Patty confessed to Peter that she too knew who he was and she promised him that she will keep his secret. As time went on, the two of them became really good friends. If Peter needs help in investigating a certain baddie, or he needs to use lab equipment, he'll go to Patty since he can fully trust her. They also have a bit of a little brother/big sister relationship. Peter can rely on Patty whenever he needs help dealing with his personal problems and there are times where Patty can't help but look at Peter and see a younger version of Barry Allen, an old friend of hers from her CCPD days.

"Well, I see you were able to handle the situation with minimal collateral damage this time," says Yin in a cynical tone.

"Believe me Detective, I try," Spider Man replies.

"Why do I find that so hard to believe?" Yin rhetorically asks.

"You know, you think you'd be a tad bit nicer considering I just did your job for you. You're welcome by the way," Spider Man says back in an annoyed tone.

Yin rolls her eyes at his comment and goes to arrest the apprehended criminals leaving the web head and the forensic scientist alone.

"Pay no attention to Yin. She's still mad because DeWolfe chewed her out for trying to arrest you that one time…Well that and we were having coffee until we heard a report about a robbery in progress," Patty says with a smile. "I heard about how you took down the Shocker a couple of weeks ago. Nice job."

The spider hero rubs the back of his neck nervously, "Well, actually, it was Supergirl who did most of the work."

"Ah, the new hero in town," says the forensic scientist. "What's that all about anyway? ANOTHER Superperson? I thought Superman was the last of his kind."

"I thought so too," says Spider Man. "But when Supes invited me over to his Fortress of Solitude and introduced me to her, there she was. Turns out she's his cousin."

"Get out. No way," Patty says in astonishment.

"Yes way. We talked, got to know each other, had to save her from being a slave to Darkseid and now we're…rather close," Spider Man explains, taking a deep breath before saying the last part.

"Wow, wait, you fought Darkseid?"

Spider Man nods, "Well, I didn't really fight the big cheese himself, I actually had to fight Supergirl who was brainwashed…It's a long story."

Now it was Patty's turn to nod then she sports a sly grin, "What do you mean you two are now…rather close?"

The wall crawler looks away flustered.

Patty's sly grin now becomes a wide one, "Aww, that is so sweet. She's very lucky to have someone like you in her life, especially since she must be going through some hard times. You know, like finding out your home planet's been destroyed and being on a new one where you have to start over essentially."

Spider Man nods, "She's been holding up rather well, but deep down I know the pain is still there. I've been down that road way too many times to know what that feels like."

"I bet," says Patty. "Still, I'm happy for the both of you. Did you two already go out on a date yet?"

Spider Man begins to blush more, "Geez, you're starting to sound like my aunt."

Patty chuckles, "Well, I'm definitely gonna sound like her when I ask you this: Shouldn't you be turning in for the night? You have school tomorrow, and you really don't want to be a wreck on your first day."

Spider Man rolls his eyes underneath his mask, "You know why I can't do that."

Now it was Patty's turn to roll her eyes, "Yeah yeah, great power, great responsibility. You know there are other heroes in this city that can help pick up the slack right? Go home kid, I'm pretty sure you won't have to worry about waking up and seeing that the whole city is burned to the ground."

Spider Man sighs, "Oh, okay. Tell DeWolfe I said hi by the way."

With that he leaps into the air, shoots out a web line and swings towards home. Patty looks on with a warm smile on her face.

"Glad to see you're okay Peter, even after what happened a few months ago. I know how much Gwen's death must have hurt you," she says in her head.

Unknown to anyone, a small, fly-like robot was perched on a rooftop watching Spider Man swing away. The robot recorded the entire chase on its built in camera, and is now flying back to wherever it came from.

Oscorp

Footage of Spider Man stopping the bank robbers are now shown on a large monitor. Two men are seen watching everything their mini drone has recorded. One man was wearing a simple black business suit with brown hair and brown eyes, and the other, who appears to be a lot younger, is wearing a dark blue business suit with auburn hair and green eyes.

"Did the drone catch everything?" asks the younger man.

The older man nodded, "Yes Mr. Osborn, and it's being stored in the memory banks of our robots as we speak. With all the footage we have on the wall crawler in the past several months, they will be able to predict his every move and can match him in strength, speed and agility."

"Good," says the younger man. "That will be all Mr. Smythe. You are dismissed."

The older man leaves the room leaving the younger man still standing there looking at the screen.

"I swear to you father," he says quietly. "You're death will not be in vain. Spider Man will pay."

Midtown High School, Queens NY

"Well Parker, this is it," Peter sighs as he stares at a certain building he is about to enter. "As soon as you walk through that door, your summer will officially come to an end. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Spent most of my time defending the city and its fair citizens sure, but I also met a beautiful girl who is, literally, out of this world. Huh…My new girlfriend's an alien…Pretty sure there's a Rom Com about this somewhere."

The brown haired teen enters the building. As he's roaming through the halls, Peter can't help but feel a bit uneasy. Everything felt the same, but at the same time it doesn't. Then it dawned on him. He remembers the last three years and how in each of them Peter would always be greeted by his friends and they would talk about how their summer went. This time around that's not the case anymore. Eddie Brock had long since graduated and after he became Venom their friendship is now nonexistent. Harry Osborn had dropped out of high school at the end of last year to run Oscorp after the death of his father. It was clear that friendship is also nonexistent since Harry and Peter have never spoken to each other since. He even tried calling him and his butler keeps telling him that he doesn't want to talk to him. Finally, there's Gwen…That alone speaks for itself. For the first time in his life Peter was alone. His double life as Spider Man has killed whatever friendships he had left, both metaphorically and literally.

"I-is this for real?" asks a voice coming from the far right of Peter.

The spider hero snaps back to reality and looks over to his right and sees Flash Thompson conversing with his football teammates and cheerleaders.

"CatCo may be just a magazine editorial that spreads gossip, but the photos they take never lie," says Liz.

"Spider Man takes down the Shocker with a girl that has the same powers as Superman," Flash says as he tries to process what his friends are telling him. "Even dresses like him to a degree."

All of his friends nodded.

"Didn't Superman say in interviews he was the last of his kind?" asks Glory Grant. "So where in God's name did she come from?"

"Who cares," says Sally with excitement in her voice. "Look at the cute outfit she's wearing. Well I know who I'm gonna be this Halloween."

"My dad says she had people at the Daily Bugle offices talking about her," says Randy. "His boss is putting out an ad promising people a buttload of cash if they're able to get a few good pictures of her."

Flash turns to Randy with a scowl, "So that tabloid rag can slander her like they do my boy Spidey? No thanks, I hope they never get a good shot of her."

He then proceeds to look at the photo with a suggestive grin, "Still, I wouldn't mind being saved by her. She looks like she could be around our age."

Peter heard this and gives out a cocky smirk.

"Hate to break your heart Eugene, but she's already taken. Besides, she told me personally that she doesn't want anything to do with you."

"Yeeeeah, I don't think this Supergirl person is really his type. She looks like the type of person who would rather go for a guy who has more brains than brawn," says a voice coming from behind Peter.

He turns around and sees Mary Jane with books in her hands.

"MJ, hey," Peter greets.

"Hey there tiger," Mary Jane greets back. "Well here we are. Seniors. How does it feel being on top of the food chain?"

Peter's face fell, "To be honest, a little underwhelming. So much has happened in the past year. When I came back from summer vacation last year, I knew there was going to be some big changes. Unfortunately it wasn't what I was expecting."

Mary Jane's face also fell because she knew what he meant by that. She puts a hand on her friend's shoulder, "I know tiger, I miss her too, but I don't think she would want us to dwell on the past."

Peter nods and smiles, "You're right. I think she would at least be happy that we made it this far in our lives."

"Exactly," Mary Jane says with a smile of her own. "And I'm definitely sure she would be very happy with the fact that you were able to find someone else in her absence. How's Kara by the way?"

Peter begins to blush, "Uh…she's doing fine. She had to go back home so she could get ready for school as well, but we have each other's numbers so we keep in touch."

"That and she can fly here anytime she wants," he thought.

Mary Jane nods, "Well, whenever you get the chance to see her, tell I said hi. She seems like a very nice person."

"Sure, I'll do that," says Peter.

As he was about to leave to find his locker Mary Jane grabs his hand, stopping him.

"I know things are different now that Harry and Gwen aren't around anymore," she begins to say. "But just know that I'm still here, and I'm not going anywhere. You're not alone Peter."

Peter smiles again, "Thanks MJ, I'll keep that in mind."

With that he leaves for his locker.

Peter makes it to his locker and begins to put in his locker combination to open it up. As he was about to put in the last number, all of a sudden, his spider sense starts to go off. Everything around Peter immediately begins to slow to a crawl and it was like everything was moving in slow motion, giving him time to observe his surroundings and figure out what the actual threat was and where it was coming from. He looks to his left and sees an African American boy who looks to be about his age, wearing a black and yellow zip-up sweatshirt with a blue t shirt underneath, dark blue jeans and blue trainer shoes. His black hair is in short dreadlocks. Peter looks over at the kid and sees a basketball flying right towards him and is about to hit him on the side of his head. Without even looking, Peter moves over a little bit, hovering over the other boy and he brings out his hand to catch the ball before it hits him. The boy, who wasn't even paying attention, looked over his shoulder and sees Peter hovering over him and in his hand was a basketball. It took him a second to realize what just happened. That ball was about to hit him and that kid stopped it from happening…He also caught the ball without even looking.

"Whoa, okay how did you do that?" the boy questioned.

"Crap, way to keep your secret ID intact Parker," Peter says in his head. He decides to play dumb, "Uh, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You caught that ball without even looking dawg. Yo, that was some Neo shit I saw right there," the boy says with a surprised look on his face. He clearly knew what he saw.

"Well, I don't own sunglasses and a long black trench coat so clearly I'm not "The One". However, I can tell you that I've had this happen to me so many times before that it just became second nature to me," Peter explains in an attempt to come up with a cover story.

By the look on the boy's face he bought Peter's lie, "I guess the jocks here are no different from the ones I've seen in my old school," says the boy as he continues to gather his books. "They always want to show off their skills even outside of the court, thinking they're gonna be the next LeBron."

Peter chuckles, "Yeah well, aren't all athletes like that?"

"Good point," replies the boy.

"So, you said something about your old school. You're new here?" the spider hero asks.

The boy nods, "I moved from Dakota about a couple of weeks ago. My pops got a new job here at a local hospital over in Brooklyn."

Peter nods then smiles, "Well, welcome to Midtown High. Hope you survive the experience. Peter Parker." He takes out his hand and offers it to the young boy.

"Virgil Hawkins," the boy takes Peter's hand and shakes it.

"So are you able to find all your classes? This school is rather big," asks Peter.

Virgil pulls out his schedule and takes a good look at it, "Well, I'm having a little trouble finding homeroom."

"Let me take a look at it," the brown haired teen offers.

Virgil gives Peter his schedule.

"Well, you're in luck Virgil," says Peter. "You're heading towards exactly where I need to go. We're in the same homeroom."

The dark haired boy grins, "Sweet, then I can just follow you."

"It's right this way," Peter motions Virgil towards their destination.

"I noticed you also have Calculus with Mr. Ditko," the spider hero says as he and Virgil walk to homeroom. "I hear he's pretty tough to deal with, and his tests and quizzes are no joke."

Virgil shrugs, "I ain't freakin. I was the top of my class in my old school. Math is kinda my jam. I think I'll be okay."

"Ah, so you're a massive nerd huh?" Peter jokingly asks.

"Hell yeah, left all my Doctor Who action figures back home, and you won't believe how many Star Trek PJs I have back home," Virgil jokes back.

"Nothing to be ashamed about. I'm kind of a nerd myself. Hell, in this school. I'm at the top of my class as well…Well, at least I'm the 2nd best," says Peter.

"Second best?" Virgil asks with a raised eyebrow. "Who's the first?"

"My old girlfriend," Peter says as he looks down with a warm smile.

"OLD girlfriend? Damn, what happened between you two?" Virgil asks in a curious tone.

The brown haired boy's face fell, "She…died not too long ago."

With that, the dark haired boy gives out a look of guilt, "Shit man, I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's okay, it's been a few months but I'm over it. Besides, I got a new girlfriend a couple weeks ago and she was able to fill in the gap. She's my new beacon of hope," Peter says with his smile returning.

Virgil smiles back, "That's cool man, I wish you two the best of luck."

Peter nods and it was his turn to ask Virgil a question, "Say, do you have a girlfriend? Just being curious."

"Nah, not at the moment," Virgil answers.

"Well, if you ever feel lonely, I'll be happy to help you out. There's a pretty redhead I know who would love to get to know you," Peter offers with a smirk.

Virgil chuckles, "I appreciate you trying to hook me up, but I think I can handle it on my own. I'm pretty smooth when it comes to talking to girls."

"What? Do you ask if you want to show them your collection of Doctor Who action figures?" Peter jokingly asks.

Virgil gives out a mock glare, "Oh you got jokes huh?"

"I got plenty of jokes," Peter says back.

The two boys make it to their homeroom where they found their seats. The bell rings which means class was starting.

"Good morning class," says a woman who looks to be in her early to mid-forties. "I am Mrs. Moore, I am going to be your chemistry teacher for this semester. First we are going to go over the criteria of this class and then we will get started on our first lesson."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Moore walks towards the door and opens it. Standing in the doorway was a young girl with glasses and long blond hair that was in a ponytail. She's wearing a black sweater vest with a white dress shirt underneath. She has on brown khaki pants with black converse sneakers. Peter looks at the girl and immediately recognizes her. It was his new girlfriend, Kara.

"Sorry, I'm late," says Kara. "I'm kind of new here and I had a little trouble finding the classroom."

Mrs. Moore nods in understanding, "Well, this is the first day. Let's just hope this is the only time you show up late. You may have a seat miss…"

"Kara. Kara Danvers," Kara answers.

The Chemestry teacher nods again and motions her over to her seat. Kara sits at the desk that was on the right side of Peter.

She looks over to her boyfriend who has a shocked look on his face and she gives a small wave, that beautiful benevolent smile that always makes his heart skip a beat and a wink, "Hi."

And that concludes the first chapter. A lot of world building in this one, and there's probably going to be more world building in the next one as well. So the way I'm going to tell this story is going to be very similar to "The World According to Peter Parker and Karen Starr", meaning each chapter, maybe two, will have their own individual stories. The only difference is that while my other story is mostly more lighthearted humorous fun (with some dramatic moments sprinkled in for good measure) this story is going to be a little more serious in tone (of course there will be some comedic moments sprinkled in. Because let's be honest, it's a Spidey/Supergirl fic. It needs to have SOME levity). Also, as you may have guessed, there's going to be an overarching story that I hope will pan out nicely. As for Static, I'm sorry to say that aside from some of his villains (and his family of course) only he will appear in this fic. So no Richie, Frieda, Daisy etc. However, Virgil and Peter will become really good friends as the story progresses and he will be a prominent supporting character as well, especially when he gets his powers. Believe me I've got big plans for Static.

I hope this was worth the wait, be sure to leave a comment telling me what you think of this first chapter. Until next time...
