Spider-Man & Lois

Apologies

5 YEARS AGO...

The Parker family was on the highway, returning home after a New York trip to visit May. They were just passing the time as the road had come to a halt due to the traffic. Peter was the one currently in the driver's seat as Lois was in the passenger side, and their daughters were right behind them. Mayday was behind Peter while April was behind Lois.

"Okay, now I get to choose," Mayday said to the family as she got a few ideas. "Would you rather...date Iron Man or kiss Spider-Man?"

Peter nearly burst out laughing at the question but managed to hold it in. Lois rolled her eyes at her husband and decided to mess with him a little. Turning over to April, she had a grin as she went to answer the question.

"I would rather date Iron Man. Who knows where those lips of Spider-Man's have been?" Lois said with disgust in her voice.

"Oh, I think you have a pretty good idea," Peter told her with a coy smile.

Lois smiled at him with that evil face she had grown to love. "I've only interviewed him once."

"Once a week, maybe," Peter muttered with a smile.

But then it happened.

Peter's senses went off and he looked around to see where it was coming from. He started to get worried when he didn't see anything coming at them, knowing that meant it was something. Something big.

That's exactly when Lois started to notice and wondered what was wrong. "Peter? What is-"

Before Lois could finish the question, an explosion took the highway and sent several cars falling down a pit as well as sending the car flying. Their car however was at least blown backward but a laser ended up slitting it down the middle.

When April woke up, she found herself in her seat but detached from the car altogether. She quickly tried to get up, pulling at her seatbelt that was crushed and broken in the fall.

April then looked around her surroundings and got an idea when she saw a piece of a broken headlight. She reached and tried to get her hands on it as the piece was just out of reach. But by some miracle of strength, she managed to pull the seat towards the glass. That enabled her to reach and take the glass and cut through the seatbelt with ease.

Once she got up to her feet, a blast almost hit her in the head. When she looked at where the blast came from, it was a laser beam coming from Cyclops, who was aiming for the Man-Beast known as Sabretooth.

April huddled behind one of the cars and was frozen in fear as she didn't see a way out for her. Storm then came flying in and sent several bolts of lightning towards the monster that crushed the bridge. The Juggernaut.

"April!" Peter cried as he ran and tackled his daughter just before Wolverine was thrown into their car, followed by Sabretooth tackling him.

Wolverine drew his claws and swung wildly at his longest enemy as he pulled his nails out to cut Logan's face. But at the last moment, Sabretooth looked over to Peter and recognized the scent.

"Spider-Man?" Sabretooth asked, only to give Logan an opening to punch Sabretooth and kick him off.

Peter grabbed April and picked her up before seeing they had no way out. Looking over to the bridge, he saw there was a way out, but it was going to be risky with April. He held his daughter close and wanted her to do the same, but also just in case this didn't work...

"April, close your eyes," Peter told his daughter, not wanting her to see what he was about to do.

April complied with her father and closed her eyes, holding onto Peter the best that she could for what he was about to do. Peter quickly ran to the edge of the bridge before leaping, reaching, and grabbing onto the pillar and using his powers to slowly drag the two of them from the air to the ground.
