Peter

"I'll be back by 8. Ordering Italian today for your special day" I tell Mrs. Kepner as she smiles at me. "How did you know?" She asked me as I grin at her.

"I have my ways. You really think I wouldn't want to know when your birthday is?" I reply as I help her walk downstairs.

"Thank you my boy" She smiles pinching my cheeks. I walked back to my apartment to get my coat and suit bag. As I made my way back downstairs, I bumped shoulders with someone making them trip backwards. I reflexively reached for them to keep them from falling.

I look down at her honey brown eyes. "You okay?" I asked her softly as she scans my face carefully.

"Peter Parker. I've been looking for you" She tells me as my eyes widen in shock.

Did she just say my name? My real name?

"What?" I mumbled pulling her closer as she meets my gaze. "Well that's your name isn't it?" She asked me with assertion.

"How the hell do you know that?" I narrow my eyes as she chuckles pulling away from.

"The real question is why the hell did everyone else in the whole damn world seem to forget?" She hissed back narrowing her at me.

"Well hello there young lady" Mrs. Kepner interrupted our stare down. She turn her head her direction offering a small smile. "Hello" she greeted lightly.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Mrs. Kepner asked me smirking at me as I scoffed. "Noooooooo" I emphasized as the mystery girl rolled her eyes.

"Please? Why would I ever date someone like him?" She adds  scrunching up her nose in disgust.

"Honey. If I was your age I would be jumping his bones right now" She teases as I shook my head.

"So you two friends then?" Mrs. Kepner pushed as the girl next to me crossed her arms.

"Long time friends. It feels like sometimes I'm the only one that truly knows who he is" She smiles sweetly at Mrs. Kepner. "So you two are dating" Mrs. Kepner says again as she laughs.

"No. We're bestfriends. Right Peter?" She tells me looking up at me. "Right." I lied as Kepner smiles.

"Well is nice seeing you finally bringing a friend around. I was beginning to worry" Mrs. Kepner tells me. "I want chocolate cake." She adds turning around and walking down the hall.

As soon as she was out of earshot I turned towards her. "Well since you know my name, can I know yours?" I ask the brunette in front of me. "Davina" She tells me looking at me and then looking down at her shoes.

"You're a hard man to find" She murmurs under her breath but my heighted hearing allowed me to hear clearly.

"That's kind of the whole point" I tell her as she nods. "I think we need talk" She tells me looking up again to meet my gaze.

"I don't even know you" I tell her as she chuckles. "Yeah and it seems like the world doesn't either" She says as I clenched my jaw.

"I need to know why you suddenly go from being viral news around globe to disappearing from the face of the earth overnight" She tells me knowingly.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I lied my heart hammering against my chest.

"I remember everything. In fact, I never forgot. You, Peter Parker, are Spider-Man. I need you to help me understand why I'm the only one that seems to remember" She tells me her eyes piercing me trying to figure me out.

"I need buy a birthday cake. I hope you don't mind walking" I cave in pointing towards the exit as she nods. "I've been walking all over New York for three days trying to find you. I think I'll manage" She teases offering me a small smile.

"Alright. Let's go" I tell her letting her walk ahead of me.

What the hell is going on? Is the spell collapsing?

***

New character. Do we like Davina so far? I am hoping to grow her character even more. But what about her knowing who Peter Parker is?

What are your theories for her immunity to the spell or breaking out of the spell's trace?
