Spider-man: Start of a hero

Awakening

Spider

I stir hearing the voice say that word.

Spider...

My skin crawls as he speaks.

Wake up

I look up at him to see it's Rockwell with his armor on.

Wake up!!

I jump awake freaked out by what I just seen. I look around to see myself in unfamiliar surroundings.

I touch my face to see my mask is still on but wonder why. I remove the blanket covering me to see I'm in full costume.

I feel people walking by outside the room and jump up to the ceiling. I crawl slowly and look out the window. It's light outside looking to be about noon.

I feel someone walking toward the door and hide in the closet. A girl with long black hair walks in and looks at the bed. She's surprised no one's in it and looks around. I look at her for a minute and then recognize her.

" Chanté?"

She looks over toward the closest and jumps when I say her name. I walk out and close the door with a web shot.

" Where am I?"

" Your at my house."

She sits on the bed and I sit on the floor facing her.

" What happened to me? Why am I here and...."

The thought of asking her starts to bug me, but I convince myself to ask her.

" Who are you really?"

She's kinda shocked at the last question. She looks at the ceiling then back at me.

" First, you got beaten by Rockwell bad and I saved you. Second, you passed out and your symbiote retracted except for your mask oddly."

She stops for a second and then continues.

" And to answer your last question I'm a high school student going to 10th grade soon. My name isn't important."

" That answers most of my suspicions. I'm guessing all those other people I sensed are your family."

" Yeah, hiding you has been kinda hard but I've been able to do it."

" How long have I been here?"

" 3 days."

" 3 days!?"

" You've been unconscious for a while, but don't worry I texted your mom saying you were staying over a friends house for a while."

" Thanks, I really appreciate it."

" Now when can you leave? No offense but my family's getting curious about what's in my room."

" I don't think I'm strong enough to swing out, can I walk out the door?"

" I'm pretty sure my parents would freak out if they saw you walk out like this."

" Then I'll just change my appearance."

I shift my symbiote to appear in all white shirt with black jeans. I shift my mask away to show my face and look at myself through my phone.

" Came out pretty good if you ask me, what do you think?"

She sits there surprised for a minute and realize this is her first time seeing my face. I walk toward her and sit beside her.
