Spiders Crawl

Seventeen

I almost fell over as I opened the door to my room. I was beyond exhausted. I just need one day of peace and normality.

Of course, I was wrong.

A blast exploded through the room, waking me up fully.

An familiar unknown man flew in on a glider.

"What's up Spidergirl?" He sang. That nickname....

"Who are you, and why won't you let me rest?!" I said. Then I realized something. "Wait, how do you know my real identity?" He stopped for a moment and hesitated.

"Well, Spiderman kept yelling your name the last time." His answer seemed a bit sketchy, but I had no time debate with myself about that. I needed to run. I wasn't strong enough to fight him. At least not now.

"What's your name at least?" I shouted above the glider noise. I could see him clearer. He had a green somewhat robotic armor.

"Hmm," He seemed to be thinking about his own name. Suddenly he snapped his fingers. "How about," I could hear him smirking behind his mask. "Green Goblin."

. . .

I woke up in a cold sweat. I was short of breath and my hands were trembling.

Was it all a dream?

My body ached, so I don't think so. My life has been messed up lately. Why can't I just be normal?!

"Charlotte?" Harry was sitting in a chair next to me. He must of been asleep till now.

"Harry," My voiced sounded relieved. "Where are we?" It didn't seem like we were in the penthouse anymore.

"It's ok." He faced the door and shouted something. I heared lots of footsteps and saw the entire team (student form) enter my room. They looked worried. I noticed one person was missing.

"Where's Peter?" I asked looking around.

"He ran off." Ava said. I could only imagine he went after that guy. What did he call himself again?

"Green Goblin." I whispered to myself.

"What?" Harry asked.

"What, oh nothing. I better get going." Harry's hand grabbed my arm tightly.

"No." He stared at me seriously. "No more running off, Charlotte." I wondered if he knew my secret, but I doubted that.

"I agree. Sam spoke up. The rest of the team agreed as well.

Great, now I'm grounded. I can't let Peter fight alone. I needed a way to escape-

"What the...?" I glance down on my wrist to find it handcuffed with Harry's.

"Just in case." My eyes widen and I stare at Harry in pure anger.

"This is ridiculous. Let me go." He shook his head. He must have planned this with the rest of the team because they just stood there and watched. "Harry, you have no idea what you're doing." I tried to warn him.

"Yes, I do. I'm keeping you safe." He said so sure.

"Why do you care?!" I tried to wiggle my hand out. I could easily break it, but not in front of Harry. Harry glanced at the others as if telling them to give us a moment. Ava must have caught on and urged them out. I was still furious and started yelling at him. I had no idea why I was so out of control.

A sharp pain on my cheek stopped me. It burned as if I just walked by a small fire. Short and sharp. I realized Harry had slapped me.

"Because...."He took a deep breath. "Because I love you."

I realize this is short but I decided finally on so many things! Little cliff hanger there i guess.
