The White Widow (A Superhero novel)

Chapter 9- I'm reborn.

Chapter 9

Lennie kept drawing sketches as I noted down what I wanted, apparently Lennie is an excellent designer and can sew pretty good, as I have heard. "I'm pretty sure I can buy some of materials, spandex right?" She says.

"I am trusting you with my future life Lennie. Get the colours white, black and red" I say "And please don't say anything to Peter or James"

She nods, picks up the notepad and says goodbye I walk her out dodging my parents as I knew they would have been home any minute. "Be careful walking home, the only way through to lower Manhattan is through all the rush and districts" I tell her as she says her address.

She then leaves and starts to walk down the streets "Catch a bus for something!" I shout out to her.

"Il catch a small train" She says.

I nod, and close the door.

The next day I sneak Lennie in, I haven't bothered to tell my parents that I have my new friend coming over. As they are mostly at work, our butler Bernie is yet to arrive within a week. And for me and Lennie, it is perfect as we can work with peace in mind we bicker and scribbled more ideas for my grand outfit.

"Why don't you wear a half mask? You know take out a cheek and your mouth showing more of you, yet nobody can fully see you" She says.

I shake my head "No, how about this. A kind of stylish masquerade mask but as you said in a spandex fabric, have my eyes shown it will totally bring out colour white and red. The style should be like lacy and all of my face to be covered"

She agrees and finishes off the sketch of the mask, I smile and look at the suit next to it. The outfit was to be white, with black on the inner sides and a lacy pattern like a spiders web it was to be completely of spandex and my shoes were to be black boots.

"Now a name" Lennie tells me.

I groan and fall back onto the bed "How about no?"

She punches my arm lightly "How about Spider Girl?"

"That sounds like a cartoon character"

"Think of a breed of spider, you must know some!"

I nod "Camel Spiders, Brown Recluse, Brazilian Wandering Spider, Giant Huntsman spider, Funnel web, Black widow-"

"That's bloody it!" She says.

"Funnel web?"

She shakes her head "No you idiot! Black Widow!"

"That sounds like an evil villain name. I'm thinkin' White Widow, or Widow for short"

"Yeah, but Widow sounds like you have lost somebody close to you."

"I did lose somebody close to me. I lost my old self"

Lennie nods in agreement "Well White Widow, if that's going to be your name. I get the money when I take pictures of you, hopefully we can get a few bucks and if you ever rip your suit. Guaranteed you will, it will go towards the cost to getting it to its normal state"

I smile and pick up the notepad, the drawings are so delicate that you cannot touch them without a smudge happening. I turn around to look out to the New York City, the whole word. "Tomorrow we trial"

As from now, I am White Widow indestructible, determined, I will protect the ones around me. I had lost my old self.

I'm reborn.

The next day I don't need to sneak Lennie in, my parents weren't home, once I open the door she gives me two large paper brown bags. I look inside to see its the suit, I smile and hug her tightly "Cant....breathe..." She says.

I let go "Sorry, strength"

"I can see. What else can you do besides web shooting and climbing?" Lennie asks.

"Hearing, strength and speed" I explain.

She nods, and I take the suit out of its bag. It's how I pictured it, white, red and black, the webbing design over it. "Well, go put it on. Then put your normal clothes on top of it, we then take a bus to NYC and you can show off your skills from the top of the buildings" She orders me.

I march up the stairs, when I reach to the top I quickly get changed. Pulling the top half of my outfit over my head and putting on the spandex leggings. I put on the boots and put the mask over my face. I look at myself in the mirror, I was no longer Sierra Rose Lawson, the girl that disappeared. I was now White Widow, the girl who could save people.

I throw the bags into the corner and open the door, I slide down the staircase and throw my clothes on. "C'mon then!" I say.

I pull my mask off and stuff it into my pocket and open the door. We take a long walk down to the bus stop and take a bus to NYC, the bus is crowded with elderly men and women. A child cries from the back of the bus, I look at the child and it stops for a minute.

"Got I hate kids" Lennie groans "They cry constantly"

"You were a kid once" I remind her.

She looks away and presses the button, we get off the bus and enter NYC. The buildings make us seem like ants, I look up to the empire state building "How are we going to get on top of a building?" She asks.

We look around until I spot SLA, my parents building, I smile and pull Lennie's arm "My parents building, they can let us in!" I say.

She nods and once we get to the building and open up the doors. "Crap! I forgot we need passes to get in!" I remind her.

"Oh my god, you are bloody Sierra Lawson. You can get into anywhere! Just tell them who you are so they can let us in" Lennie says.

I nod cautiously we walk over to the desk, a woman who's quite young sits behind it and is dressed smartly in a navy blazer. "May I help you?" She asks.

"Yes, I'm Sierra Rose Lawson. My parents own this building? You must know who they are and maybe me, but my Mother requested me to come here and help with the intership that I believe is starting tomorrow" I lie.

The woman laughs thinking i'm mad "Yeah, and I'm Angelina Jolie" She laughs.

I stand there and think of something else "You ring up-"

"Sierra!" A voice calls behind me. Lennie and I turn around to see it's my Dad, I look back to the woman at the desk and she doesn't seem pleased.

I turn around to face the woman and smile "Yeah, you can note down who I am and what I look like. Your 24 hour surveillance cameras should tell you that" I say.

I turn towards my father he smiles and welcomes me with a hug "What are you doing here?" He asks.

Lennie looks at me "We are doing a science project and we just came to look around. Its about spider genetics as that's what we are doing for Bio anyway. So is it okay if we look around and take some notes?" I explain (lie).

He nods "Go ahead, just don't be gone too long"

Lennie doesn't believe what she is seeing, I lied like it was my job. I take Lennie's arm and pull her towards the lift "That was too easy" She says.

"Says you"
