The competition

// Early Morning - Midtown High

Y/N POV

School was bustling today with the main reason being last night's fight, it was all over the news 'Armor menace working with criminal Spider!' courtesy of the one and only J.Jonah Jameson and everyone was talking about it. Back home I never had that reaction from people, mixed I mean, it was weird to say the least, I was used to being a sidekick type not a full blown hero in the news 'Tony usually was the focus of the news, wonder what he would think of these'. Their reaction didn't help much, some argued that I was indeed another menace to the city while others argued that I was a proper hero and there were even conspiracy theories circulating around. As I approached my group of friends I saw that they too were talking about this and if Gwen's annoyed face was anything to go by things were not so good. "Come on, he is probably some sort of secret project from the government and is keeping an eye on Spider-woman" Glory said "Or he is some rich guy that decided to play hero Glory, I mean that suit must cost a fortune" countered Betty. Gwen saw me and gave tired "Hey Y/N" the others looked at me giving their 'Hey's or 'Hi's "Whatever he is I liked the color scheme" Em Jay say looking at one of the many photos take where circulating around "What about you tiger what do you think of the new vigilant?" Em Jay said, giving me a smile "I... I dunno, he is doing good so he is fine in my book and the suit looks awesome too" why not put a good word for myself "Yeah, but we still haven't decided on one thing, if those two fought who would win?" Betty said looking at me "Y/N you're the golden vote, Gwen and I voted for Spider-woman, Em Jay and Glory voted on the Armored dude" I looked at Gwen who in turn gave me a look that said 'You're going to vote for yourself aren't you?' I chuckled "Hard question, we don't know what the armored dude can do and Spider-woman has been around for a while..." Betty interrupted me "No staying on the fence, pick one" I shrugged "Ok, than I chose the Armored dude, but if the armored dude lost his armor than the vote goes to Spider-woman" Betty looked at me unimpressed "That's the same as staying on the fence" I shook my head "Not really, just a conditional vote, so far the Armored dude won". We were interrupted by the bell signaling the start of class and started to walk towards the classroom "Ok, mister I don't pick sides, who do you think got more style than this one already has a winner by the way, Spider-woman, Glory, Gwen and I voted, Em Jay was the only one to vote in the armored dude" Gwen was looking happy that she wasn't the target of Betty's questions anymore "Easy, Spider-woman, like the hood" I answer getting a smile from Gwen "Why don't you do a pool on the school if your going to question everyone that you speak with?" Glory said she too was getting annoyed with Betty's questions. Betty grinned at the ideia while me and Gwen shared a worried look "That's an excellent idea! Creating the pool now!" she said as we arrived at the classroom. Taking my seat next to Gwen I whispered to her "May the best hero wins" receiving a playful shove from her "Ready to lose than?" she whispered back. I just rolled my eyes, smiling.

//Time skip: After school

"Ok, pool is done, we will see who wins in what tomorrow" Betty told us. The sound of sirens could be heard getting louder and soon a car speed by with police following close behind, both me and Gwen looked at one another it was clear in each others eyes 'The competition was on' "I need to go, see you all tomorrow have a lot of stuff to fix back home" "My dad just texted me have to go too" we both excuse ourselves. I put my communicator on "EDI, need the suit, is it close by?" It was a competition now, even if it was for fun "Armor on its way, please way at the nearest alley" I did as EDI told me and walked to the closest alley only to stumble on a familiar blonde "Well this is awkward" I said "Hey, find your own alley to change, got here first" Gwen said getting between two dumpsters "What? I'm just waiting for EDI to arrive with the suit and ... are you really changing behind those dumpsters?" a blush could be seen on her face "I...*sigh* Yes, this was the closest place that was empty, well it was until you showed up and if you continue to look I'm webbing your face!" I quickly turn around feeling a blush of my own "Just so we are clear, this is going to be just a friendly competition, isn't it?" I asked, needing to confirm that we weren't going to get too much into it "Well, we could ..." "No corn dogs" I cut her "... what afraid to own me more?" she said jumping in front of me already changed "See you later slow-clad" she webbed away. A few seconds later I saw the suit arriving and I quickly jumped in "Ok EDI let's win from one cocky spider".

Finding the runaway car wasn't difficult, subtlety wasn't the forte of those robbers. The blur of white and purple could be seen quickly catching the car "And there is our Spider, let's steal this one from under her nose" I dived in front of the car and stopped on top of the hood "IT'S THAT ARMORED FREAK!" one of the robbers shouted "SHOOT HIM! F@CK JUST SHOOT HIM!" the driver said as I held the front of the car and started to use my boosters to slow the car to an almost screeching halt. The car's tires popped from the abrupt change in speed and the metal where I was holding folded like paper causing the robbers to looe balance. The one sitting in the passenger seat flew out of the window 'Damn it, he wasn't using a seatbelt' "Got him!" I hear Gwen shout as she webbed him "And those ones too!" she webbed the driver and a third one on the back seats while they were inside the car "For the records those count for me!" I said, ripping the battery of the car off for good measure "Nope, you got the car, I got the robbers, quite different you see!" she said, swinging away before the police could say a word. "They are all yours officers!" I flew away as soon as the police stopped their cars. "Alright. EDI, scan for any police chatter about ongoing crimes, and patch Gwen in the communications, it's only fair" a swift 'all done' told me that she did as I asked. "Alright Gwen, good luck, and be ready to buy me a corn dog this time around!" I provoked her on the radio "Oh? Not a 'friendly' competition anymore?" she teased back "Yep, EDI is counting who stops more crimes and for the record the last one counted for me" I heard a "Not fair!" from the other side.

//Evening that day

We went our separate ways to cover more ground and much to my dismay, we were even, each of us stopped according to EDI ten crimes and we were both exhausted. "Come on, did we scare all the baddies away?" I said out loud "Think so, never seen the city so calm" came Gwen's response. "Crime reported at the Dollar dog" EDI chimed in "I got it" we said at the same time. I arrived as quickly as I could and it didn't took long to find the bandit "Hey there bud, mind just surrendering had a long day and I got a competition to win" the man with a simple hat, green striped shirt and an cloth domino mask looked at me with surprise but before he could utter a word Gwen showed up "Alright stop right... Bodega bandit... urgh had to be you?".

Bodega bandit POV

Whose corn dog did I just steal! I'm used to Spider-woman showing up, not the new guy and especially not both. "Ahm...I just stole some corn dogs..." I said, trying not to get beaten by two vigilants "Ok, we all know you have no chance so just surrender to me and call it a day" Spider-woman said. "Hey! I got here first, point goes to me" the armored one said. 'Did I just stumble in a competition of some kind?'. Spider-woman crossed her arms "No, if he surrenders to me, I get the point!" "Don't get" "Do get" they continue to bicker like an old couple. "Ok, let Bodega decide, who should get the point?" the armored one suggested "Ahm...why me?" I asked "You're the one getting arrested" the armored said "And the one that commited the crime, so choose" added Spider-woman. I looked between both of them "I... shit, ok. I'm going to surrender to Spider-woman, for ... habit" I said, stepping in the direction of Spider-woman. "You're the best arch-nemesis Bodega!" she said while the armored one facepalmed. 'Tonight just gets weirder by the minute' I thought as I'm being arrested.

Gwen POV

"You know I don't think I will ever need to buy a corn dog anymore with the amount you own me" I teased Y/N "Don't remind me *sigh* want a lift home or are you going to go swinging?" he asked offering his hand "Acktually, I told my dad I would be helping you build the studio for the night, so... hope you don't mind me stealing your sofa for tonight" I notice him stiffing up a little "Ahm, no, no ... just didn't expect" I chuckled "I'll ask for some pizza, after today's work I'm starving" he chuckled at that as I hopped on his back "Alright, hold tight" he said, flying up 'Still like the thrill of flying'. A short flight later we arrived at the warehouse "So, what do you want?" I asked, pulling my phone "Love me some pepperoni" "Same here". A short time later the pizza arrived and we decided to eat while watching some TV. "New vigilant 'Ironlad' and Spider-woman on rampage throughout the city!" I could help myself and started laughing at the misspell of Y/N hero alias "Como on, I said clearly IronClad not IronLad!" he complained which only made me laugh harder. He changed channel shortly after, 'Spoil sport'. After dinner it didn't take long for sleep to claim me.

Y/N POV

I noticed Gwen stopped teasing the fact that the News had spelled my name wrong only to see her fast asleep on the arm of the couch. I chuckled, got up and cleaned the table, and went to bed myself, but not before giving Gwen an extra blanket, to which she pulled closer to herself, I could help but think she looked cute doing that. Shaking my head with a smile on my face I walked to the door before turning back and turning off the lights "Goodnight Gwen".
