Spider-Man: The Aftermath (SpideyChelle)

Chapter Twenty

Peter's POV

"Ow! You'll pay for that!!" The shooter screamed due to being dropkicked in the face after he pulled his military grade submachine gun. "I gotta ask, where'd you get this from? This is way too high of a weapon for you to license." I lawfully remarked while he scowled at me since I web-cuffed his hands together. "THEY AIN'T OURS THICK SHIT. IT'S CALLED A CONTRACT FOR A REASON." He yelled at me while I picked him up with a desperate vengeance. "Who gave you the contract?! GIVE ME A NAME! WHO ARE YOU AFTER?!" I interrogated and intimidated him for the first time in my two years of being Spider-Man. "Okay! OKAY! We was hired by a guy who goes by the name Beck. He wants some girl called Michelle Jones dead to piss the Avengers off an start a war." I punched him in the face and knocked him out after he told me everything, "Karen LOCATE MICHELLE AND NED NOW!" I demanded with upmost desperation in my voice. "They're being held hostaged in the physics lab. I suggest you hurry, they look like they're about to kill one of them." She gave the sit-rep after my desperate demand.

Ned's POV

"Who the hell is Spider-Man bitch?" The lady asked after the teenagers dragged Michelle and I over to her. "Honestly, I don't know but what I do know is when he gets here, your boys and yourself are definitely toasted." Michelle sarcastically winked while I looked at her giving the 'It's going to be okay" look. "SHUT UP BITCH! NO ONE TALKS TO THE BOSS THAT WAY!" One of the mercenaries yelled at Michelle. "Okay okay, calm.... your tits? Oh no sorry I was thinking of the lady." A familiar voice shouted from the ceiling. "It's Spider Freak. Spread out and don't take any chances." The leader demands like she was commanding a squad from Star Wars. A few moments and a ton of yelling, groaning and a ton of ass kicking later, Peter appears out of nowhere with a careful approach, "I think that's the last of them, get to safety and I'll talk to you guys later okay?" Peter instructed after scanning the area to which I nodded with acknowledgement and Mj ran to kiss him before we departed. However, in a split second I noticed a dark shadowy figure appear from the corner of a doorway which was almost identical to where the leader had left in and then out of nowhere a gun fired at Peter and Michelle. "GUYS WATCH OUT!!!" I yelled to warn but it was too late, Peter had reacted perfectly getting them to safety but he didn't realised that the bullet trajectory was aiming right towards Betty to whom Peter didn't account for in the room. Shortly seeing this I bolted with my stocky frame and pushed her out of the way and taking the bullet myself and letting my eyesight fade into the darkness.

Peter's POV

Bang! As the gun was shot I had no idea where the trajectory of the bullet was going until a fraction of a second later since my brain finally figured out who I missed.. BETTY! A moment later I heard the bullet penetrate a persons skin so I looked at Michelle, "I'll be right back!" I bolted towards where the impact sound had came from, "Come on! Come on! Please be okay Betty." As I ran around the corner I saw a bigger foot to which wouldn't have matched Betty's frame...."No!" I screamed to which Michelle had ran to me, "What's wrong?!" She worryingly asked to which she looked in the direction I was. "It's not who we think it is right?" She asked cautiously, "I don't know, I don't want to look to be honest...." I admitted to which she decided to look and started crying, I walked over and saw my best friend since kindergarten being looked over by Michelle, Betty and I. "Ring an ambulance now!" I demanded to which Betty co-operated with immediately.

A long 5 minutes passed for the EMTS to get here so I quickly switched into my regular clothes in order to ya know... be there for Ned as his best friend.

Michelle's POV

After the EMTS came to the school to assess Ned, we were told that they had to go to the hospital in order to provide the correct surgical procedure in order to make sure all the residue and bullet pieces were out of the affected area. Once we were told this I told Peter that we would be going to the hospital but we weren't going unless Peter got psychologically assessed first due to the amount of trauma he's endured over the past several months. "Fine I'll get added the assessment done." He ultimately decided without a fight and judging by his expression, he was ready to give up and quit being Spider-Man for good. "Babe it'll be okay." I assured him even though I wasn't entirely sure it will be, "I hope so because if Ned dies, that's on me!" Peter stated to which he knew I wasn't gonna argue my case, 'Ned will be okay, Peter did good.'
