Ray and Spider-Man. Spider-Man and Ray. The popular Superhero duo of New York City, often saving the day.

You were Y/N by day, Ray by night. Best friends with Peter Parker by day, best friends with Spider-Man by night. Your superhero name came from how you could shoot rays of pure energy from your hands and would (if only exposed for a few seconds) knock out or (if exposed for more than five seconds) kill someone. You often teamed up with Spider-Man because you'd started turning up at the same criminal spots and liked working together.

Honestly, you did like Spider-Man, it was pretty cute how he talked, and the suit made him look great. It would've been funny if you had realised he was also your other crush, Peter Parker. But you didn't. Not in time, anyway.

"Ray! I've got some criminals at that bank on Jamaica! Do you copy?" Spider-Man's voice crackled in through your suit comm.

"I copy, I'm coming!" you shouted back.

Along with your Ray superpower, you were also mostly fire-resistant, incredibly athletic and flexible, and you could jump long distances. You ran and leapt from one roof to another until you saw the criminals. Jumping from the roof and sliding down a street lamp, you slammed your hands together and the ray shot out of them, knocking out three robbers that were surrounding Spider-Man.

"Need some help, Spider-Man?" you teased.

"It's just more fun with you," he replied easily, before stilling and realising what he said, and dissolving into a stuttering mess. "I-I-I-"

"Chill, Spiderboy," you said, as you jumped to the roof. "I- shit! There's a fire nearby! I think there are still civilians inside!"

"I'll give you a lift," Spider-Man said, suddenly pulling you to his chest and taking off. You blushed at the close proximity.

You touched down outside the building, asking how many people were still inside.

"At least five." was the worrying response.

"Spiderboy, I'm going in!" you yelled to him.

"But Ray-!"

"I'm fire resistant, you're not! Wait outside for the people!"

You ran into the building, just as it exploded. Spider-Man screamed, taking a step forward, but choking and falling back.

"No!"

"She was amazing," Peter said sadly, tears leaking from his eyes. He couldn't even look at the coffin, couldn't even look at you.

"Y/N was one of the kindest people I knew. She was also Ray, the city's superhero."

An intake of breath from everyone gathered.

"She died trying to save other people. I'm going to miss her every day of my life. I loved her as Ray. I loved her as Y/N. And I never got to tell her."

He broke down, hiding his face in his arm. "Even heroes can die."
