chapter twelve

After Peter left the shop, he ran across the street holding the bag with his sandwich in his hand. He passed under an elevated train truck, holding up his palm at a cab that honked at him before he ran into an alleyway. There, he hurriedly took off his shoes and threw them aside.

From his backpack, Peter pulled out his blue and red Spider-Man suit. He accidentally knocked over a garbage can as he awkwardly took off his pants. He yanked off his shirt and sweater before he stepped into his suit, wearing only his boxer. Jumping, he pulled the full-body suit over his legs. Peter fit his arms in the sleeves before putting on the mask, which covered his entire head. The baggy suits hung loosely over his slender frame as he webbed his backpack against a dumpster. He then hit the spider emblem on his chest and the material shrunk, fitting him snugly.

Peter pressed a button on his web shooter which activated a hologram display. He adjusted the lenses on his high tech mask, and jumped onto the roof of a building.

He began to leap across roofs with his sandwich bag in hand. But when he stopped on one roof, he crouched down on a ledge and looked down the streets of Queens.

It wasn't until he felt a gush of wind and glanced up to find Miss Steel had zoomed overhead. He smiled before he sighed. "Ah, finally," he said.

A bicycle chain is broken. The thief rode the stolen bike down a sidewalk, pushing passersby off the street. Spider-Man swung after him, and eventually, he landed in front of him, holding out one end of a strand of a web.

"Hey, could you hold this for a second? Thanks," he said.

When the thief looked down at his hand, Spider-Man used his momentary distraction to glue him to the web. Spider-Man let go and thief was pulled into the air, causing him to yelp. As the thief dangled above him, Spider-Man held up the bike and searched for it's owner.

"Hey, is this anyone's bike? No?"

A man came out of a nearby store and Spider-Man turned to him, getsuring the bike towards him. "Hey, buddy, is this your bike?" he asked.

"I have no change," the man told him.

"Does anyone have a pen? Do you have a pen?" Spider-Man asked the people around him.

On the handle of the bike, Spider-Man left a note saying: IS THIS YOUR BIKE? IF NOT, DON'T STEAL IT! SPIDER-MAN.

Spider-Man swung by a train station high above ground level and stroke a pose for everyone waiting. "Whoo! Everybody good?"

He rode ontop of a subway car, scrolling through pictures of Emma on his phone, lightly smiling to himself.

Later, he slowly stood up on the edge of a building with the flag of the United States blowing in the wind behind him when he spotted Miss Steel across the way, standing on the sidewalk. His attention was sidetracked when a street vender called out to him;

"Hey!" and Spider-Man looked down at him, "You're the spider guy on YouTube, right?"

"Call me Spider-Man!" he said.

"Okay, Spider-Man," the vendor said, "Do a flip."

Spider-Man backflipped on the roof as the vendor shouted, "Yeah!"

One moment, Spider-Man is swinging down from rooftops and yelling, and another moment, he is patiently giving directions to an old woman.

A thin strand of web suspended between a building and an old, rusty water tank, and Spider-Man practiced his tightrope skills, as well.
