Paige sat in the library with Michelle. This was one of the few times Paige got to do anything with her best friend. They had formed this friendship over the past few months, but Paige had been blowing her off lately. Michelle had been ticked, so Paige took off patrol to go to the library with her and then go to get a snow cone. Suddenly Peter texted her, and said he needed her and it was an emergency. He needed her, but what about Michelle.

"Um, Michelle? I have to go," Paige started to leave.

"You're always blowing me off now. What are you doing when you leave?" Michelle asked.

"Um...I-uh."

"What are you hiding, Paige? And I didn't care when your brother left once or twice a week, but with you it's every day."

"Okay! I'm sorry, just meet me in my room at my apartment at 9:00, and we'll study and we can get snow cones another day," Paige ran out.

She changed into her suit and then took off, this better be worth it.

------------

Paige leapt high into the air as she swung to the location Peter told her to go. She was met by Goblin holding Spider-Man in the air. Peter had his new suit, he must've got it back. Paige zipped down and kicked Goblin in the jaw.

"Defiantly an emergency," she mumbled to herself.

Green Goblin shifted his attention to her and then flew at her. Suddenly, the adrenaline kicked in and she forgot everything else but the fight. She tried to dodge, but he still used a bomb to send her flying over to the fire trucks.  She looked around, until Peter joined back in on the fight. He fought, while Paige tried to think of a plan. She then flung herself towards the fight.

Paige tried to hold her ground, but then he sent a bomb to civilians. She used her quick speed as everything slowed. She felt the blast hit her in the side. She shot a web at him, but he pulled on the web and slung her into a building. She grabbed her left wrist in pain. She leaped over and started fighting Goblin, favoring her left arm. She shot a web at the back and flipped underneath the glider, only to flip up and kick him in the stomach. He went flying as his glider went after him. He flew back at her and threw razor bats. She used her webs to grab them in the middle and send them into the engine of the glider. He flew off. Paige looked at Peter.

"That was awesome!" he whispered yelled.

Then a felling came to her that she forgot something, but adrenaline, pain, and what just happened made her forget it.

-------------

Paige stood on top of a roof and looked down at the city below her. She was trying to think of what she was forgetting when she heard sirens go off and leapt into action.

------------

Ironically, Peter was doing the exact same thing on the other side of town. He carefully leapt down and sat on the edge of a fire escape. Of course, tucked away in one of she many compartments of his belt, was a sandwich. He lifted up his mask and devoured it, taking huge bites out of it. Little did Paige know, he had been losing sleep and had to rush his meals so he could hunt down the Sinister Six and keep her out of it so she wouldn't get hurt. His phone rang and played the well know Spider-Man theme. It was Liz. He swallowed the bites of sandwich in his mouth and then answered.

"Um...Hey, Hey, Liz," Peter answered awkwardly.

"Hey, Peter, I was worried about the fight earlier," Liz started.

"Oh, well, I got bat around, until..." He started.

"Spider-Woman came. Is she like trying to be your girlfriend or something?"

"No, no, no, no, that'd be weird. I stop crime with her, not take her out to eat."

"Okay. Hey would you like to go to the ice cream shop tomorrow?" Liz asked over the phone.

"Yea-yeah...that'd be awesome," he answered.

"Well, then I'll see you tomorrow," Liz responded.

"Yeah, see you then, bye," he ended.

"Bye."

Peter hung up.

"Yes!!!" Peter yelled in excitement as he fist the air.

He returned to eating his sandwich, with an non-erasable smile of pure happiness on his face, close to when he met Tony Stark.

--------------

Paige felt terrible, and she was sneaking in her house. She looked down at her phone. 9:06 pm. She shook off that  feeling and climbed into her window and focused on not being heard. She opened the window with her hand, climbed in, and slowly close it with her foot, all while on the ceiling. She took her mask off and flung it onto her messy bedroom floor. Paige crawled over to the door and shot one web to help her get down and slowly close the door. She turned around to Michelle sitting on the bed. Michelle's mouth was dropped open and her eyes wide. Paige froze.

Michelle stood.

"You're the Spider-Woman from YouTube," she whispered yelled in shock.

"No, no...this is just a costume," Paige heaved as she pressed the spider on her suit for it to slide to reveal a Nike t-shirt and shorts with a slight burn on the t-shirt.

It was clear she had a six pack under her t-shirt.

"You were on the ceiling!" she pointed to the ceiling.

"This cannot be happening," Paige mumbled. "What are you doing here?"

"You said meet you here at nine, and it's nine. Your Aunt May let me in."

"Crap."

"Does May even know?"

"No, I mean Peter and Tony Stark know because they made my suit."

"Tony Stark made your suit!? Why doesn't May know?"

"Because you know how she is! She wouldn't let me go out if she found out people are trying to kill me every day. Listen, just don't tell anyone. If people find out , the wrong people can find out and come after everyone I know."

"Dude, I'm not going to tell anyone. I hardly talk to anyone, except you, your brother, and Ned," Michelle smiled. "Is this why you've been blowing me off?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'm cool with it. You're saving lives, while I'm just a teenage girl trying to keep Spider-Woman from doing her job."

Paige hugged Michelle quickly. Michelle was unpredictable, so Paige was unsure how she would react, but, for once, things went her way.
