Bitten

Chapter 12

I was sitting at the to dinner table next to Gwen and MJ. I had no idea how to eat the fish. I had just recently gotten into an argument about Spider-Man(me) with Gwen's father who happens to be the captain of NYPD...so that was fun. "Peter, come with me." Gwen said. MJ looked at her with an encouraging look and a thumbs up. I followed her to the rooftop. "What's going on with you?" "Okay, Gwen I want to tell you something. It's just really hard to say. I have to show you. It's hard to explain. " "Tell me." "I've been bitten." "So have I." Gwen answered. I shook my head and smiled. "Nope I can't tell you." "What? What can't you tell me Peter? Huh? Forget it." Gwen said walking away. I shot a web at her and pulled back to me. She gasped. "You're...you...you're-" "Just shut up and kiss me." I said and pressed my lips to hers. Gwen pulled away and smiled. "You're Spider-Man." "We've already discussed this, Gwen." I said with a chuckle and a smile. Her mom called Gwen and told her to go inside. I followed when I heard sirens and screaming. I walked to the edge of the roof. I jumped off and swung to the sounds.

     I landed on a roof and saw a gigantic lizard throwing cars off the bridge. "Kanima?" I whispered. "No that isn't possible. There is no way a supernatural would stray far from Beacon Hills. Besides Jackson, Ethan, and Derek." I whispered. I tore off my clothes to reveal my spidersuit. I slipped my mask on over my face and freefell off the roof. I swung to the bridge, I shot webs at the falling vehicles tethering them to the bridge. The lizard was rampaging on the bridge searching cars and trucks. I landed on the bridge. "Hey! Godzilla! Lizard-Con was three weeks ago. You missed it." I taunted. The lizard looked at me and screeched. "Uh oh." I muttered. The lizard lunged at me. I dodged out of the way just in time and punched the reptilian in the face. "Somebody help! My son is stuck down there!" yelled a man. The lizard was crawling away from me. I looked towards the man and the lizard and back at the man. I sighed. I ran to the man. "My son is stuck in the car. You got to help him!" the dad yelled. "Don't worry I'll get him." I said jumping off the bridge.

I landed on the back of the minivan. I tore off the trunk of the minivan. "Help! Someone help me! HELP!" a little boy screamed. "Hey hey. Look at me. Look at me." I told the hid. The kid turned around and looked at me. He kept screaming. "Hey hey hey. It's okay. It's just a mask." I said tearing off the mask. "Here take my mask. I'm just like you." I said tossing it to him. The boy caught it. "What's your name?...Jack." I said finding his name on a bag. The boy looked at me. "I'm going to get you out of here. How's that sound?" I asked with a smile. The minivan started to fall. The web snapped. I caught the rear bumper of the minivan. I groaned. "Come on Jack. I need you to climb." A spark occurred. The minivan erupted into flames. "Jack! I need you to climb now! Climb!" "I can't!" "Yes. You can! You can do it. The mask. Put the mask on! It'll make you stronger!" I told him straining. Jack put the mask on. "There you go. That's it. You can do it bud. Climb." I said. Jack started to climb. "If you could climb a little faster. That would be great, Jack." The boy climbed. The bumper started to pull away from the van. I groaned. "Come one Jack you can do it." I said. The boy almost reached my hand. The bumper fell from the van and the boy fell towards the river screaming. "No!" I screamed. I shot a web at Jack and caught him. I pulled him up to me. I grabbed him. The boy took the mask off and handed it to me. "Don't worry Spider-Man...your secret is safe with me." "Thanks kid." I said. I went up to the bridge with Jack in my arms. I reached the bridge and put Jack over the railing first. I climbed up and squatted on the railing. "Who are you?" the dad asked holding his son. "I'm Spider-Man." I said jumping into the sky and web swinging back home.
