I'm surprised again that I have thought of two things that I thought would have crossovers but don't actually have anything (my other is a crossover of The Fox and the Hound and Bambi).

But of course that means I gotta write something for it. And fun fact I actually tried to start this last year, but I hit a wall with it so I put it on hold. But now it's that holiday time again and I actually wrote things for it. So yes this is a crossover of The Spectacular Spider-Man and Static Shock. Two cartoons that I love very much.

Now just a note for continuity. Spectacular Spider-Man is it's stand alone thing, no other Marvel properties are in it or mentioned so there will be none in this. But because in Static Shock it is canon with the DC universe and stuff, things will be mentioned in this that connect and all that.

Chapter 1

Dakota City. 22nd of December. 3:10pm

In the city of Dakota school had just gotten out for winter break. Everyone had left from school and ran towards their homes in order to prepare for the fun that would be had over break. Though while many headed right home after the last bell rang, Virgil and Richie headed elsewhere. They headed to the same place they always went to when they wanted to relax and chill after school.

Their own superhero hideout; The Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude.

The two of them walked through the doors and threw their bags to the side once inside the old abandoned building that was their hideout. Richie walked over to the chair in front of several computer monitors and flopped down.

"Ah winter break. Finally!" he said with huge sigh of relief.

"Yeah man, I didn't think it would come soon enough," Virgil said as he grabbed a chair to relax in.

"Still, I can't believe that you and your family are getting to go to New York for winter break. You actually managed to win a contest to get you a little over a weeks stay in a nice hotel in New York during Christmas! How lucky is that?!" Richie exclaimed.

"I know," Virgil replied. "Though I am just worried about leaving the city for that long."

"Relax, you'll only be gone for a little over a week. I'll be able to handle it if anything happens," Richie said, trying to sound reassuring.

"Yeah but what if Hot-Streak or Ebon show up again? Or even some of the other Bang Babies?" Virgil said as he stood up from his seat. He never had been away from his home town for so long since becoming Static. He felt unsure that it was even a good idea for him to leave, but he really had no say in whether he wanted to go on a family vacation. He knew though that it had been a few months since their big battle with Ebon and Hot-Streak and neither of them had showed, but one could never tell what could happen next.

"If anything does happen, I'll be sure to call you to let you know. But you should relax and have fun while in New York," Richie said as he leaned back in his chair. He suddenly sat up straight as a excited smile formed across his face. "And hey! You might even get to see Spider-Man!"

"Spider-Man?" Virgil asked as he sat back down. "You mean that new superhero guy that showed up sometime ago?"

Without answering Richie turned around and faced his computers. He began vigorously typing away until the screen was filled with images and articles. All of them were about the person known as Spider-Man. Vigal scooted his chair closer so he could get a better look at the superhero on the screen.

"He's a fairly new superhero, only started showing up around New York about six months ago," Richie began to explain. "He does seem to do a lot of good with helping fight the crime there, and he has faced off a lot of different villains already. Though the major paper company there, The Daily Bugle, seems to think otherwise."

Richie pulled up more articles about Spider-Man from The Daily Bugle and all of them had some harsh slander against the hero. "But the public at least seems to be more positive towards him."

"Hmm I wonder if he's anything like Anansi. It's kind of interesting that there are actually two superheros with spider based powered," Virgil said aloud, thinking back to the time he was in Africa and met the hero whose title was Anansi the Spider.

Richie let Virgil scroll through the list of articles pulled up on the screen. Virgil read through bits and pieces of them since he saw how much of it was just hate towards Spider-Man. Though what really caught his attention were the photos of Spider-Man in action.

"These photos are real neat," he commented as he looked for the name of the person behind them. Beneath each photo he saw the name "Peter Parker". "Why can't we have someone like that to take photos of us? How cool would that be if there awesome action shots of us in the paper."

"That would be cool. Though I gotta say, who ever this Peter Parker is, he is really good at getting those shots while staying clear of the fight," Richie said.

"Yeah, you're right about that," Virgil commented.

"Oh! You said before about how funny that there are two spider themed heroes: Anansi and Spider-Man. Well it seems that's not all that New York has. There is actually a villain there who has similar abilities to you."

"Wait what?" Virgil asked as his eyes widened. "How could there be anyone possibly like Static?"

"Well I did say 'similar' V. Don't you pay attention to what goes on in New York?" Richie asked as he started typing away again on the computer.

"No normally I just know what goes on in my own city… well that and in Gotham, just in case Batman ever needs my help again. But just who is this villain guy you mentioned?"

"He likes to go by the name of Electro, though his real name is Maxwell Dillon," Richie said as the screen now filled up with a few articles and a few pictures, most of them being mugshots.

The picture that were not mug shots of the man though was not quite what Virgil had imaged. There was no real face to see the facial features of the man, as his whole entire head was flowing with bright golden electricity. The other photos of him, the mugshot ones, he had a special looking mask on that was actually able to contain all of the electricity.

"From what I read, something happened to him to give him a large surge of electricity. Though unlike you, where you can basically summon it at will and contain it, he always has it flowing around him. The major difference between your powers and his is that yours are related to static electricity and his are more just regular electricity."

"Well at least he isn't completely rippin' me off," Virgil commented. "Though… does that mean we would be at equal strength?"

"I don't know. Possibly? It's hard to tell just off the information given here," Richie explained as he tried to look for more information on Electro.

"Hmm," Virgil hummed as he started to think about things. His thoughts started to go back to leaving for winter break. "I'm still unsure about this vacation."

"Seriously Virgil, relax. Everything is going to be fine. Plus it's not like you are going on vacation without taking some precautions," Richie smirked as he looked over at Virgil.

"Yeah I know, but I also am thinking, won't people think it would be strange if Static just suddenly appeared in New York?"

"Static has shown up in Gotham to help Batman and Robin before, so I don't see why it would be an issue in New York. Plus it would be much easier for you to meet Spider-Man as Static. It just makes things a lot easier," Richie replied.

"Well you aren't wrong about that," Virgil commented.

"But oh!" Richie said straight up in his chair. "If you do get to met Spider-Man you gotta ask him what the webs he uses are made of."

"Uh wouldn't that be kind of a personal question though?" Virgil asked.

"It was just a thought. I wanna know if they are actually naturally made or if they are some synthetic made compound. There are a lot of things those webs could actually be made up of and it makes me wonder."

"You mean you can't even figure it out? You? The super genius?" Virgil said as he laughed, surprised that there was something that managed to stump Richie.

"Well I wouldn't exactly say I can't figure it out, it's more of I am thinking of all the possibilities there could be. There are just so many options..." Richie trailed off as it seemed he was going into deep thought on the subject.

"All right, all right. If I get the chance to talk to Spider-Man, I'll try and ask him," Virgil said, knowing Richie would probably keep asking him otherwise. Virgil's eyes then drifted to the clock on the wall. It was getting closer to 4 o'clock. "Ah well I gotta head home. You know have to pack and all that."

"Okay, see ya V. And don't forget to keep me updated when you get to New York," Richie replied.

"Sure thing man," Virgil said before bumping fists with Richie.

After that Virgil quickly headed out of their hideout and made his way towards home. He ran down different streets before coming to his house. He stepped up to the door, opened it and walked inside.

Once he was inside he saw that several bags were already set next to the front door. Virgil knew that Sharon already probably had her bags packed, and now she was checking to make sure she had everything He knew he still had to pack everything though, so he quickly ran up the stairs and entered his room.

Once he was in his room he saw his suitcase laying on the floor, and a backpack for travel on his suitcase was open and only half filled. Knowing that Sharon could burst into his room at any moment to yell at him to finish packing, he decided to just finish doing it.

After a few minutes of throwing his clothes into the suitcase he made his way over to his closet. Hidden deep in the back was none other than his superhero suit. Virgil held it in his hands as he stared down at it.

Virgil knew he wanted to bring it with him of course, he couldn't imagine going anywhere without his suit close by. But he still wasn't sure if he really should this time. Though he remembered the trip he took to Africa with his family, and it ended up being a good thing to have it.

Just as Virgil was about to stash it carefully into his suitcase he heard a knock on the door. Quickly he threw the suit into the closet and clothes the door. He then shuffled over to the bedroom door and opened it. There was his Pops standing right in front of it.

"Uh yes Pops?" Virgil asked.

"Just making sure you are actually packing," Virgil's father responded.

"Of course. I'm just about done. Just need a few more things and I'll be all set to go."

"There is one other thing I want to ask you about though," Virgil's father said as he stepped forward.

"Sure, what's up?"

Virgil's father closed the door before answering. He crossed his arms and looked directly at his son. "Virgil are you going to be bringing your superhero costume with you on this trip?"

Virgil stepped back a bit. He knew that he father was okay now with him being Static and all that, but he still didn't expect him to ask the question so bluntly. "Uh… Well I was thinking…" Virgil trailed off before his father spoke up again.

"Now son, I know you like to help out, but can't we just have a nice normal vacation? No superhero stuff at all?"

"I just don't know about that Pops. What if something happens when we are in New York? What if Static could help out?"

Virgil's father grumbled slightly. Not quite in agreement yet with what Virgil wanted. "Doesn't New York already have a superhero?"

Virgil sighed internally. It seemed that his father at least knew about what cities had superheroes and all of that. "Yeah, but I was thinking… what if something happened where he would need help?"

"Virgil now I just don't know..." Virgil's father trailed off.

"I know Pops. But I can't help it, after doing this for the past few years, it just feels bad to leave my superhero suit behind. I gotta always be prepared for what could happen."

"I understand son, but that wasn't my main concern. I know I can't stop you from bringing your suit along and helping out, but…" he paused for a moment before he continued. "I'm just worried what Sharon will end up thinking. Don't you think she may get suspicious if we are in New York and then Static shows up as well?"

"Oh… yeah…" Virgil said as he lowered his head.

Sharon of course still didn't know his secret. Originally they thought about telling her before, but with how she acted when talking about Bang Babies they thought it would be best to leave for another time.

"Well I wouldn't worry too much, she thought I was Static before, but I was able to fool her with some help."

"But I doubt you would have that help this time around, correct?" Virgil's father asked.

"Yeah, you're right about that. Maybe she won't think about it too much… that is if something happens of course. Which let's hope it doesn't."

"She is still going to have to know at some point though," Virgil's father then added.

"Yea yeah I get that. It's just when to tell her is the thing… " Virgil sighed. "Maybe since things have calmed down now after that last incident I could try to tell her sometime."

"Well I'll let you get back to packing. We'll be leaving in a shortly, so make sure you have everything."

"All right thanks Pops," Virgil said before his father left the room.

Once he was out of the room and the door closed again, Virgil walked back over to the closet and grabbed his superhero outfit. He then walked over to the backpack and placed it at the bottom. He then threw a few extra pieces of clothes into the bag to hide the outfit. Then on top of that were a few other miscellaneous items like a camera and his toothbrush. Once that was all set he did a double check through everything and made sure that everything was packed away that he needed.

4:39pm

Soon enough Virgil was called down stairs to load his stuff into the car. Virgil, Sharon, and their father made their way to the car and packed everything into the trunk. The drive pretty basic and simple, Sharon though talked about all the different things she planned to do when they got to New York. Many things of course included checking out the different stores for shopping. Their father though of course started to go on to explain all about different historical events that happened there. He may not have been that excited compared to when they went to Africa, but it was still pretty exciting.

Virgil knew it would only take only about an hour by driving. New York wasn't the farthest place away from home, but wasn't far enough that his Pops thought they would need to take an airplane. Virgil knew this was true because it wasn't too much of a drive as Gotham either. And Gotham was just a little ways from New York actually. And he had been there a bunch of times to help out Batman and Robin, so the distance would be about the same proximity.

But even with just a little over an hour away it still meant a long journey. Virgil would be miles from his home city. Though he knew he could fly back at a moments notice if something were to come up. He hoped though that nothing would happen though. He wanted to be able to have a nice and relaxing vacation for once. Though he knew going to a place like New York there could always be something.

Plus he couldn't forget about Spider-Man. Out of all the things he wanted to do when going to New York, meeting Spider-Man was on the top of his list. Virgil knew though that he would have to find the right time and place. New York was a big city and had one lone superhero. But it couldn't be too hard… could it?

So that is all for chapter 1. Idk exactly how I'll be posting this, probably just posting from now till I finish. But this is my current project as it is a shorter story. I'm going to cover the Christmas episode of Spider-Man of course, and maaaaybe the New Years one, if I can figure out a good way to work through it.

But I hope you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you thought!
