Paige looked out the window as raindrops pattered on it. She was worried about everything and as each raindrop hit she'd think of another piece of her situation with the Goblin and Peter.
Drop
She thought about how the Goblin was planning something big. Something REALLY big. Probably a way to get rid of Peter and her.
Drop
Peter's hiding something. He won't let her come out on patrol as much, and some situations he needs help in, like the situation the other day.
Drop
Michelle figured out Paige's secret, well, more so Paige crawled into her room through the window with her suit on. Of course Michelle being cool, she wouldn't tell anyone.
Drop
What was going to happen next?
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"It's open," she yelled.
The door opened to reveal Michelle. She walked in and closed the door behind her.
"What are you doing here?" Paige asked.
"Well, I noticed my superhero friend hasn't been so active lately," Michelle responded.
"Spider-Man doesn't want me to get hurt."
Michelle still didn't know that Peter was Spider-Man, but knew that Paige was Spider-Woman.
"Speaking of Spider-Man, who is he?"
"What?"
It was the question that Paige had dreaded.
"You know, who is he under that mask? He's not just a robot or something."
"Michelle, I can't tell you that. It's his secret, not mine," Paige pointed out.
"Still, you have to know who he is," Michelle stated.
"I know who he is, but I don't feel it's in my position to tell you," Paige sighed.
"Oh."
"How did you get your powers?" Michelle changed the subject.
"Um, my real dad worked for Oscorp, and as a baby I had child's cancer. So the only way he knew to save me was to inject me with radioactive spider venom. It cured my cancer, but it would only work with people related to my dad, because he used his own blood in the spiders. My powers developed and were dormant until I was 13 and they appeared while I lived with Stephanie and Jeff in Chicago," Paige explained. "Then we moved here."
"So with that logic the only other person that the spider venom could work on it Peter."
"Well, if he was bitten, but I'm not entirely sure how Spider-Man got his powers, but I think it was different then how I got mine," Paige's brow furrowed.
"Come on let's go get some snow cones," Michelle suggested. "Even though it's raining, it'll be fun."

Peter was on top of a roof on the phone with Liz. They had already gone out for ice cream since it was Saturday.
"So what are you doing?" Liz asked.
"Just standing on a roof. Not much going on today," Peter replied.
"Huh, wonder why that is?"
"I have no clue. I'm staying out for now. If I see anything I'll take off."
"Take off? I had the same idea!" Goblin yelled as he loomed above Peter.
"Um, I gotta go, I'll call you later!"
Peter hung up and stuck it in one of the compartments on his belt. He looked up as Goblin flew down and grabbed Peter by his foot. He slung him around and eventually threw him at a bus. As Peter hit the bus, a large dent formed around him. He hit his head against the back of the bus. He heard ringing in his ears. He looked up and saw Goblin coming towards him. Vulture threw a car at Peter. He caught it and placed it gently next to him. He swung up and shot a web at Goblin's face. He clawed at his face to try and get the webs off of his face. Peter swung behind him and kicked him in the back. Green Goblin jerked forward, but caught himself by flying and eventually got the webs off. Goblin grabbed Peter, flew up, and threw him down and then grabbed him and slammed him on the ground.
Peter felt blood start to come out of his nose. He looked up and saw the Goblin coming towards him. Goblin grabbed him by the back of his suit. He held him up in front of his face.
"Hmm, are you nothing without little Spider-Woman?" he taunted.
"No, I just need some time," Peter leapt up and did a back flip to land on the back of the Goblin.
He started to rip out parts of Goblin's glider's and scatter them on the ground. Goblin flew away. Peter swung back towards Aunt May's apartment. Liz soon called.
"Hey," Peter answered.
"Peter, are you okay? It looked pretty bad on the news."
"No, no, I'm good. I have a healing factor remember? I should be fine by tomorrow."
"Are you just saying that to make me feel better?"
"No, honestly I should be good by tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye."
Peter crawled into his window and closed his door. He locked it and took his suit off. He changed into a t-shirt and shorts. He went into his bathroom and cleaned up some of the blood off of his skin. He looked for any cuts he might need to stitch. Finding nothing that bad. He looked at all of the new bruises he had gain, but then walked back into his room. He walked over to his bed and eventually collapsed as he fell asleep.
--------------
Paige watched on the Tv at the snow cone place as Peter battled the Goblin. Michelle asked her if she needed to go, but it was always no. Paige knew she needed to go, but she thought Peter could handle it. After they left, Michelle went to her house, while Paige returned to Aunt May's house she went to Peter's room, where she picked the lock and went in. She sighed when she saw the beat up Peter sleeping on the bed. She should've left Michelle. She closed the door and went back to her room.
