A Spider's Guide to Heroism

Chapter Nine

Peter sighed heavily as he finished work for the day. He slipped out of the office and down the street, ducking into an alley way he used often for a quick costume change. He was done with Peter Parker's work day, but Spider-Man's daily work had just begun. He was surprised actually how quiet it was this week though in terms of issues that required his attention. Normally he would have to leave work early to deal with something, but not today.

He loaded up his web shooters checking their fluid before using it to web his backpack with all his other belongings to a wall, well hidden and out of reach until he could come back for it later when he was done patrol. Peter then started his second life as he shot a web off into the city and used it to travel through.

There wasn't much on the go, as said before it was very quiet the past week. Spider-Man was actually getting suspicious of the quiet nature, too used to the dangers of a villain attacking any other day. He'd rounded the city three times now, not finding anything major, and the most was just saving another cat from a tree. Oddly the same cat, which he suggested to the owner they invest in one of those cat leaches to prevent that from happening.

It was on the way back, the sun setting now with it getting late, that Peter swung through the city and suddenly fell and came in contact with the ground. He groaned with the pain from the sudden impact with the ground, realizing his web had been cut and he was getting a major dose of De Ja Vu.

"How nice of you to drop in!" The familiar voice spoke up again, yeah, totally happened before.
"Deadpool..." Spider-Man sighed standing up and facing him. "Isn't there a easier way you can get my attention instead of cutting my webs?"
"Well I could shoot at you." Deadpool laughed.
"Alright then, cutting webs it is." Spider-Man accepted. "What do you want now?"
"I was just... Y'know... looking for you." Deadpool started to rock on his feet. "I was kinda curious about how the whole... Hero in training thing was going over..."
Spider-Man sighed, putting a hand to the back of his neck and looking up at the taller man. "Yeah... about that." He shifted. "Look Deadpool, I ran it by Fury, and well..."
"Well what?" Deadpool asked eagerly. "Did he say how much of a brilliant idea that would be? How much you need me? How great of an addition I would be? When do I start?"
"Well actually..." Spider-Man paused. "S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't looking for any new heroes right now, sorry." Spider-Man shrugged.
Deadpool blinked. "Not right now?"
"Nope."
"Okay but just not right now." Deadpool started in. "That means later they will be looking for a Hero then I will be needed right?"
"I didn't say that..." Spider-Man replied.
"How later is right now from?" Deadpool asked, still determined.
"I... Well you see..." Spider-Man struggled to find his words. He sighed again.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't interested in recruiting you... Deadpool I'm sorry but Nick Fury was actually very offended by me suggesting you."
"Oh. okay." Deadpool seemed to accept that really quickly. "You did mention how much I've been trying right? Improving? Just to... make sure."
"Yes, of course I did, it's just a no go, and he also said it would be wise for me to ask you again to... Leave New York." Spider-Man admitted.
"I... okay."  Deadpool sighed now.

They were interrupted by Spider-Man's wrist making a beeping, and him opening it up to use the communicator in his glove, as he was getting a call from S.H.E.I.L.D. "Spider-Man, we got a bit of a situation here that needs your attention right now." It was Nick Fury.
"Speak of the Devil," Spider-Man spoke. "Yeah, I'm on the way." He closed the communication then looked back at Deadpool. "Look I gotta go..."
"Yeah, Yeah I get it." Deadpool replied waving him off. "Go see what you're needed for and possibly go save the day or some junk."
Spider-Man frowned at Deadpool. "I'm sorry." He spoke again. "I think you'd be better off just sticking to what you do best anyway."
"Yeah maybe." Deadpool started to walk away.
Spider-Man sighed again watching him leave, and then started up his webs again and made his way to the Helicarrier to see what he was needed of.
