The Webs Fate Weaves

Chapter 1 - Trying My Best

Third Person POV

She swings through the city as the sun starts to rise over the horizon. Landing on a jumbo-tron she listens a Jameson rants about her latest fights as Spider-girl. "Spider-Girl is a menace that needs to be locked away" Jameson's growls as Spider-Girl watches shaking her head "Can't a spider get some love around here?" she question's theoretically before swinging away from the now broken jumbo-tron. Spider-girl's head shoots up as her Spidey-sense thumps against the base of her skull. Rushing round the corner she shoots a web that stops a runaway police car from crashing into a cake shop, the officer climbs out the window and smiles at the spider "I'm starting to think Jameson's wrong about you" he admits and Spidey waves "Spread the word Chief" she salutes before webbing away.

Spider-Girl's been swinging round the streets of New York for over 2 years now though her identity remains a mystery. She sighs reading over a sticky note she placed in her bag so she'd remember 1. Get cake for uncle Ben 2. Visit cemetery after school. Some things never get easier, especially when all you get is criticized for doing the right thing.

Her attention is ripped away from the note as screams pierce the air, she swings onto the street met with glue splattered all over the place. The Trapster gravelly voice carries out onto the desolate street "I knew that would catch your attention bug brain" he snarls shooting his canon of super-strength glue at her. Spider-Girl easily back-flips out of the way shooting web after web at the big brute. Trapster breaks the webbing and she get's thrown into a building a large gash in her side. Shaking it off she fires a web into the canon which explodes and traps the Trapster.

Spider-Girl turns around as the Helicarrier approaches, Fury the director of S.H.I.E.L.D has been following her since she started to make her way up in terms of being noticed. "Yes, Fury I already know Cap could've done this is a minute" Fury just stares stoic as ever "No, he only would've need 10 seconds. Kid look around, you're not as bad as you were but still too much collateral damage".

Spidey looks down, it's bad enough being criticized everyday but by someone as high up as the S.H.I.E.L.D director, ouch. He sighs placing a hand on her shoulder "Everybody starts somewhere kid, even the heroes you look up to now, it doesn't happen overnight. What would you say to a bit of a push in the right direction, S.H.I.E.L.D could use someone like you" Spider-Girl backs up shaking her head "While that sounds a great and all i'm not interest on whatever self-help book your trying to offer and I'm all out till pay day so.." Spider-Girl turns and starts to walk away.

"I'm serious......Peyton Parker" She freeze's 'Eyepatch say what now?' "You know?" he just chuckles "Super Spy remember?" Everything changed after the awful Oscorp trip, one radioactive spider bite later and she finds herself making a promise to her uncle as he fades away in her arm, the familiar sting of tears burn her eyes. "With great power comes great responsibility" It's weird hearing Fury say her life's motto, the only thing that makes her think that this is worth it. "Great words from a great man" Peyton turns away "Uncle Ben was the best"

"It's been what, 2 years now?" all the memories of playing with science kits, sneaking ice-creams before dinner so Aunt May didn't see them. The night of the argument, she stormed off like an immature little kid, the echo of the shot rings through the air. Uncle Ben laying on the cold ground the rain washing away the blood as more pours out, her pleas for him to hold on falling on deaf ears. Peyton snaps back into the present as Fury lays a hand on her shoulder "Today would've been his birthday" she mutter quietly, "You've honored his memory doing what you do but I'm offering you the chance to do more" Fury explains

"To be as good as Cap or Ironman" she scoffs to herself quietly 'yeah that'll be the day, maybe people will finally embrace the spider brand.' "If you change your mind you know where the Helicarrier is" Peyton nods before swinging towards school her phone vibrating against her side no doubt MJ wondering where she is. Peyton's known MJ for as long as she can remember they were always close even as they grew older and she became the more favoured of the two.
