Spiders, Time Lords, And Timey Wimey Mischief

Chapter 3

Yay! New chapter :) I had a lot of amusement writing this one, hehe :P

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or Spider-Man. These characters are not my own. I'm just having some fun with them :)

...

"Doctor, there's a strange bug man at the door." Amy yelled warningly back at the Doctor "and..., he's freaking Rory out," she added, while giving the motionless Rory a poke, causing him to sway slightly. He still had this 'fish out of water' look on his face.

Spider-Man sighed and his shoulders slouched heavily. "Bug man, really?" he said, pointing both hands to his chest, "how many times do I have to tell people, it's arachnid, a-rach-nid. Doesn't the Spider on my chest and the webbing give it away?" he asked, motioning to the said things as he spoke.

Amy just looked at him funny.

"Huhh, guess not, well, that worked well," he said, practically babbling to himself, seemingly disappointed.

"Now, now Rory, don't be rude, I'm sure he can't help it, there are many different species in the universe that resemble bugs, many of them rather friendly actually, you just need to respect them. I know some can have some rather unpleasant habits, but I'm sure he won't kill you... probably," the Doctor's voice traveled out from within the TARDIS.

Now, if Spidey's eyebrows could rise any higher under the mask he was sure it would show, as he'd heard every word of that, and he was not pleased.

"Hey!" he said, "I resent that! And I am not unpleasant, nor am I from outer space. This is a warm and cuddly spider who prefers to stay close to home," Spidey quipped, while giving himself a hug, trying to look cuddly. "Now, do you and your friend back there want to get down or what?" he asked, looking impatient.

"Doctor?" Amy yelled again.

"Coming, coming just gotta, get this right," the Doctor's reply came, closer this time, along with the sound of his Sonic Screwdriver, clanging items and mumbled gibberish.

Spidey just stood there with his arms crossed, until he seemed to realise something. "Hold on, wait..., did you just say, Doctor?" he asked curiously, while leaning forward slightly. But he was interrupted when Rory suddenly took the opportunity to grab his arm, and pull it towards himself, with a look of absolute fascination on his face, appearing to look at it closely and feel it, finding out that it was indeed... real.

"Hey, hey, hey," Spidey complained. "Not creepy, not creepy at all," he said, whining and pulling his arm back.

"It's...i... it's" Rory stuttered.

"Yes, it's a giant bug Rory, I never knew you were so interested," Amy said fondly at her stumbling husband, giving him a pat on the head, teasingly.

"Bu... but it's my childhood hero," he blurted finally, breathing heavily.

"What?" Amy said, suddenly snapping her head back to look at him in surprised confusion.

Spidey cocked his head on one side slightly, a little curious and taken aback by what the man had said.

"But, that's impossible," Rory said, "He's not real." He pointed at Spidey. "He can't be real!" He then shook his head. "Amy, please tell me I'm not going crazy and that he's not there," Rory asked her, squeezing his eyes shut and holding his head.

Amy just pulled a frown and glanced back at Spidey, looking a little uneasy. "What is it Rory?" she asked intently, looking back at him and putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Ah, I'm still here you know," Spidey said, and Rory opened his eyes again.

"Well, it's... it's Spider-M..." he started to say, but he never finished his sentence, because in his shocked state he had stepped forward just slightly, his foot slipping over the edge of the TARDIS.
