Alone

The return of The Hood

I woke up at 9:30 and realised I had to get to Peter's. I would return home but my father I heard talking on the phone is away until tomorrow lucky me. as I put my money in its hiding place and shoved my washing in my bag looking at the supersuit inside. It does not stop stab wounds I will tell you that. I picked up the rope and threw it down it only went down far enough to be able to jump from you can't get to it from the ground. I slid down the rope then jumped as I started walking back into the city. I got to Peter's at 10 and was greeted by May.

'Hi, uh my washing machine broke do you mind if I use yours?' I asked awkwardly.

'Yeah go ahead, let me show you the way, the other are just in the living room I'm about to go out, I'll tell them what your doing,' she said kindly showing me the way. I put my stuff in and turned it on. What did I need. A bucket a plunger and washing powder, and technically water too. They were now my current essentials.

I entered the living room area and sat down next to MJ they were about to start it. I never really thought about how weird I was, I didn't have a phone. I didn't have running water or electricity and I had to work to have the bare minimum. I asked Peter to set a timer for my washing and spent the next few hours laughing eating popcorn and binging Star Wars with my friends. I eventually went to change my washing from washing machine to tumble dryer. Peter's Aunt really was too kind.

We continued to glue our eyes to the screen as we watched the movies we knew all too well stopping every little while to do an important task. Once my stuff was dry I put it back into my backpack which I had also washed as I headed back into the living room to continue our binge.

'You know there has been a conspiracy theory that something has happened to The Hood, I don't think even Spider-man has seen her for a few months,' MJ stated while we watched. I gulped how long had it been I counted in my head well it had been a while. 4 months God, I guess that was one thing about no job I did have a lot more time. I was a little confused though I stayed under the radar most of the time most people didn't know I existed. Didn't want shield finding me.

'I'm sure she's just been busy,' I said not moving my head from watching the screen.

'I'm not sure, she like always was with Spider-Man on his patrol and she suddenly went missing, even Spider-Man thinks that apparently,' said Peter clearly knowing more than MJ which was sort of surprising. I realised I had saved MJ before in that moment so I guess she probably followed the very little media attention I have.

'Yeah, ok let's keep watching,' Ned said clearly not wanting to have distractions from the screen. 20 hours later and we finally finished as we all fell asleep in Peter's living room. May had come home but hadn't bothered to ask anything. I woke up again at 2pm I'm pretty sure I'm the most used to not getting much sleep. It was sad to think I no longer had a job. Although I had enough now to keep me going for quite a while. I stood up looking at the other still asleep before hearing a crash. Well looks like The Hood is needed. I entered the bathroom and changed into my hooded suit my backpack underneath. I jumped out of the window and grabbed onto the window sill on the way down. Backflipping to the ground. I saw a man pointing a gun at me. As I swiftly knocked it out of his hands.

'Pleasure, to meet you sire you may have heard of me, that's right The Hood wasn't kidnapped,' I said wondering where these conspiracy theories came from. He pulled out a knife. As I looked at the small teen he had assaulted I gestured for him to run as I kicked the man in the face. He went to stab me as I ducked. See the difference between myself and Spider-Man is that he has his Spider sense, I am just amazingly observant and a skilled fighter.

I know when a scene is off, people and well I am excellent with doing things that defy the laws of physics. I knocked the man down as I watched the police arrive and arrest the man as I saluted them and began climbing up a building.

How did I become a super hero well I have always been able to climb up and down buildings, sneaking out of my home. Not to mention I can fix myself up and fast. I saw someone mugging someone and well I got into fighting crime. Made myself a suit and well never turned back. I have been fighting crime a little longer than Spider-Man I just have a disadvantage not being able to know exactly when crime starts happening. Although in my opinion I do in fact have perfect reflex's. I mean I doubt I'd beat black widow or Captain America in a fight but I'm not bad for a kid. I quickly got back to Peter's luckily no one had woken up as I climbed through the window and took off my suit I liked a fight it made life exciting. I turned on the TV hoping I remained under the radar. I normally did but it was a busy street and it was broad daylight. I gulped as I listened to the news a small Chanel but enough to get S.H.I.E.L.D's attention, Local hero The Hood has returned to fighting crime although seemingly without her partner Spider-Man. Partners oh please just two heroes who occasionally work together to help Queens. Besides who knows why Spidey wasn't there today. Eventually the others woke up and we all said goodbye as I left. Returning home to my fathers wrath I really should have been home earlier.
