Bitten

Chapter 19

I arrived in D.C., "Karen! Where are they?!" I called Ned. "Peter? Where are you?" "Um...I was a little busy with something. Ned the purple stone is a bomb! Do you have it on you?!" "Yeah...wait did you just say what I thought you said?" Ned asked. "Yes I did." I heard a noise in the background. The line cut. "Karen where are they?!" "Ummm. they are in the-" An explosion occurred above me. The Washington monument. "In the Washington Monument." "I SEE THAT NOW KAREN!!!!" I ran to the monument. "My friends are up there." A girl yelled. I looked to see it was a girl from my school I think her name was Michelle Jones or something like that. "Don't worry I'll save them." I said looking at her then web-zipping to the monument. I crawled up the side of the monument. "Don't look down. Don't look down. Don't look down." I told myself. I looked down. "God Peter Why did you have to go and that?" I told myself. I shook my head. I continued to climb the monument. "Stop climbing the monument! Immediately! Put your arms in the air! Oblige or we will use deadly force!!" I turned around to see a helicopter with armed men aiming their guns at me. I climbed up the monument and spotted a window. I tried punching the window open but I couldn't. I turned around to look at the helicopter. "Karen when I jump you'll know what to do...right?" "Open the web wings?" "Good. You know the plan then perfect." I said. I turned back around. "Okay Spidey you can do this. You can do this. You can do this. I better be able to do this." I told myself. I jumped off the monument and spun around and opened my arms and the wings opened. I flew over the helicopter. I spun around, shot a web at the bottom of the helicopter and swung into the window. I slid into the monument and was in the nick time, too. The elevator that my friends were occupying were falling. I webbed the elevator and puled on it. I wedged my feet on the entrance to the elevator. I pulled it with all my strength. "I did it. I saved them." I spoke too soon. I was pulled into the elevator. I webbed the floor of the elevator and connected the web to the ceiling of the monument. I was knocked to the ground with a loud slam. I opened my eyes and stood up. "Hi guys." "Alright Spider-man's here." Ned said. "Hey hey hey whoa big guy calm down." I told him. "Right sorry." I looked around. "Cassie? What are you doing here?" "More importantly...not why my daughter is here. I would like to know why my greatest arachnid is doing all the way away from New York City?" "Mr. Stark. I didn't see you there." "Of course you didn't. Have you seen Peter? I didn't see him at the decathlon." "Mr. Stark you should fire Peter Parker. I would be better suited for the job he does." Flash said. "Oh and what do you think Mr. Parker does that you think you so better than him at?" "Um..." "Exactly...who are you?" "Flash-" "Nobody cares." Tony said interrupting him. "Mr. Stark...I need to get you guys out of here. You and Ms. Stark first. You guys are high priorities on my list. So...I'll get you guys out." I said grabbing the two of them. I webbed up to the top of the monument. I dropped them off at the top floor with the bystanders. I grabbed the web and pulled it up towards me. The elevator gradually worked its way up to me. I saw the tops of the kids heads. Flash scrambled to get out first. I pushed him out of the way. "Ladies first sorry kid. You'll just have to wait." I said smirking behind my mask. I grabbed Liz's arm and pulled her free from the unstable elevator. I looked at Flash. "Now...you can climb up." I told him. He scrambled out of the elevator. I pulled Ned out finally and kept holding onto the elevator. I looked back at the Starks, "Um...I'll uh...I'll see you two back in New York....hopefully." I said. I my feet slipped and the elevator fell. I was yanked off the floor and pulled along with the elevator. "Bye!" I screamed into the darkness.

I was back in New York. I staggered into my house and was surprised by what I saw sitting in my living room. "Scott?" "Peter! Dude! We need to talk to you....privately...upstairs would be preferred." "Peter? Who the heck is Peter?" I looked over to see sour wolf's uncle Satan himself sitting on my favorite sofa. Great...Aunt May is going to be wondering where the heck the sofa went because I burned it and threw it out. "Okay upstairs. All of you. Even you Peter." I said motioning everyone up the stairs. Everyone went upstairs. Peter went last. He looked at me confused. "Just go up the stairs you big hairball." I said rolling my eyes. I headed upstairs after everyone else. I walked into my bedroom. Everyone looked scared. "What's with the sad faces?" "More importantly, Why in the world are you named Peter?" Peter asked. I rolled my eyes. "Why is he here?" I asked pointing to Peter. "It's nice to know you still care about me." Peter said sarcastically. "Shut up." I said. "Tell me why you named yourself Peter and maybe I will." Peter said. "I left 3 years ago and changed my name to Peter Parker. It's my aunt and uncle's last name. So I acquired the last name and changed my first." I said. My bedroom door flew open. I saw Cassie standing there. She walked over to me and slapped my chest and then my arm repeatedly. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!" Cassie screamed. "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Who is this crazy chick?!" Derek asked. "Yeah I want her number." Isaac said cockily. "The only number you'll get...is the number of teeth I knock out of you." Cassie fired back. "Ooh..Isaac not so cocky now...are you?" I asked with a smile. "Don't you get all smiling and happy. I'm still mad at you." "Okay can everyone just shut up?! What the freaking heck is going on?!" Scott yelled.
