They aren't me*

Chapter one

Standing in the kitchen next to flash holding a can of dark fruits close to my chest I look around my vision beginning to blur slightly, I continue to talk to flash and everyone else, Michelle wandering around with a slice of toast in her hand.
After midnight had passed I was hammered and stumbling everywhere, falling against someone I tilt my head squinting I smile at michelle "MJ!" I say, my words slurring slightly, wrapping my arm around her she laughs "hello, nerd" she chuckles, wandering outside with her I groan "flash's music hurts my head..." I murmur, falling onto one knee she helps me up "it hurts mine too, don't worry" she laughs, watching her sit on a bench I stumble, wobbling slightly I fall onto the bench, dropping my head on her lap she tenses slightly "your awesome MJ.." I mumble, shifting slightly I look up at her "really beautiful..." I breath, her eyes widening her smile almost reflects a nervous one, she rakes a finger through my faded brown hair "your really smart" I smile, closing my eyes I feel myself weakening, the adrenaline the alcohol had given me temporarily fading rather quickly "I'm gonna call a cab"she says, holding my hand up I roll off of the bench, scratching my chin I shake my head "have a good night michelle.." I murmur, hugging the brunette I walk out of the house.
Wandering aimlessly down the streets, my hands in my pocket, stumbling here and there I stop at the edge of a cliff staring out into the ocean I fail to stand straight, falling on my back I stare up at the stars "rubix cubes..." I murmur, sprawling my arms out beside me I feel a droplet of rain skim my cheek "mysteriously beautiful.." I close my eyes, unaware of myself falling asleep.

Gaining consciousness due to the sounds of waves crashing against rocks I open my eyes groaning at the pulsing headache coursing throughout my entire neuro-system I sit up, unaware of the fact I'm lied on someone's lap"you talk In your sleep you know?"Looking up my eyes widen at michelle "I think it was a wise idea for me to follow you." She chuckles, feeling underneath my shirt I sigh in relief "what was I saying?"I mumble, a small but meaningful laugh escaping her lips i prevent myself from smiling "You said something about rubix cubes meaning mysteriously beautiful and that you loved things that are mysteriously beautiful" She laughs, furrowing my brows I feel as if I had been slapped in the face "oh jeez.."I murmur, Hearing neds voice I sit up "Peter!" Looking to the side I see him running towards me and michelle he gives me a look spelling out the words 'STARK' my eyes widen, jolting up I look at michelle when she stands, hugging her unconsciously I sprint off to my apartment building, stopping a few feet in front when I see tony and happy stood there they look at me "I find it amusing that you actually go to parties" tony teases, laughing I scratch the back of my neck nervously "decathlon team invited y'know..." I laugh, walking towards them tony offers out his hand, glancing at it I shake it "What's this for?" I ask, happy smiling brightly "new updates to your suit, mr. Small-town hero" tony smiles, returning the gesture I contain the excitement bubbling inside me.

Pulling my mask on I look over myself in the mirror at the new improved spider-suit, climbing out the window I swing from building to building, stopping on top of the library building I look at michelle sitting outside reading and eating "go talk to her, Peter. You have a lot to talk about since last night" Karen says into my eyes, furrowing my brows at a group of older kids ganging around a smaller boy, swinging down I know michelle's Looking "heya kids."I chuckle, their eyes landing on me they gasp "move along now."I say, shooting my web at the one holding a crowbar I pull it out of his hand, the older lads running away, I crouch in front of the smaller one tilting my head "bullies, I understand ya kid, don't take their nonsense, your awesome"I chuckle, giving him a small spider keychain he smiles.

Turning I go to swing onto the library until my eyes lock with hers,shooting my web at the ancient building I drop down the alleyway next to the library, hooking my fingers underneath the mask I lift it up off of my head not hearing the footsteps beside me I hear a gasp, looking up I freeze at the sight of michelle, her green and black jacket blowing in the wind slightly "Peter..." she mumbles, swallowing a lump in my throat she walks towards me, she drags her index finger across the neck of my suit "Nice material. Show me how it works!" She says, going to protest she looks at me with a deadly glare, nodding hesitantly.
Standing on top of a really tall building I look at michelle standing near the edge, pulling my mask on I look at her "she found out?" Karen asks, nodding I crouch "yeah, can you run a scan over the whole of queens I need to know where someone is" I ask, Hearing Karen make a noise of acknowledgement "who is it Peter?"She asks, looking at michelle when she turns to me "May Parker, I need to know she's safe." I say, standing I watch as my AI scans "she's at work, completely safe."she replies, nodding I smile "thanks Karen." I murmur, michelle walks towards me "who's Karen?" She asks, tilting her head to the side "the suit lady. She's like my operator of the suit and does all the cool changes, like changing my webs and scanning and stuff." I explain, michelle nodding she looks around for a door and to my knowledge she fails to see one "how are we going to get down?" She asks, smirking slightly I pull her close to me, her scowl burning holes in my form I laugh, shooting my web at a building I swing with her through the city.
Looking at her I can't help but smile, she really was Incredible, no fear visible In her, Just screams of pure joy and excitement, her hair dancing in the wind, she laughs into my neck "where do you live again?"I ask, her eyes locking in with mine "23 rose avenue" she chuckles, nodding I swing across the whole of queens, landing safely at the side of her house I place her on the ground gently "thanks, nerd"she smiles, smiling at her through my mask "kiss her Peter." Karen says, feeling my cheeks darken I shoot my web at a nearby building I swing off.
