"I was holding back the entire time we were out on patrol...and it was really, REALLY hard. But...I don't think I can do it any longer..." Cindy said as she panted lightly, clutching a hand over her racing heart. Turning around, Peter saw that Cindy's face was flushed red, just like his own. Reaching back, Cindy began to unzip her costume. "We...can we please just do this already? If I have to wait any longer, I feel like I'm going to explode."
"..." Peter said nothing for several moments, feeling sweat forming on his brow as he watched Cindy pull down her costume a bit. He audibly gulped when she exposed her shoulders and some of her cleavage, feeling the last remnants of his resolve crumble away. "Your room. Now."
Without missing a beat, Cindy grabbed hold of Peter's hand, practically dragging him along as she sprinted toward her room. They reached her room less than a minute later, slamming the door closed behind them. Cindy's breath hitched as Peter embraced her the second the door closed, capturing her lips in a fierce, passionate kiss. Peter immediately took charge and deepened the kiss, snaking his tongue into Cindy's mouth as they danced together. Cindy instinctively wrapped her arms around Peter's neck and pulled him even closer, their bodies now pressing against each other. As Peter's more experienced tongue dominated her's, Cindy moaned as he explored her mouth. She couldn't suppress the pleasurable shiver that ran through her entire body. Cindy tried to keep up, but she was soon overwhelmed by Peter's precise movements. Feeling Peter's tongue swirl and dance around her mouth caused a wave of excitement to wash over Cindy. After what seemed like an eternity of fiery liplockinh, Peter and Cindy eventually broke their kiss. They were both panting lightly, their faces flushed bright red as they stared into each other's eyes.
"That was better than I could have ever expected, but...I need more." Cindy said between pants, a smile spread across her face as she pressed a finger against her lips. Feeling an intense heat welling up within her, Cindy's breathing became a bit more labored. Reaching out, Cindy pushed Peter back down onto her bed and straddled his waist. Peter's face flushed in arousal as Cindy began to run her hands along his chest. "My body feels like it's running on autopilot, Peter. I feel hot from head to toe, and I can't stop thinking about you." While being completely inexperienced when it came to anything sexual, a satisfied smirk spread across Cindy's face when she felt something hard press against her thigh. Even if it was just the pheromones, she knew that she'd aroused Peter. "Do you feel the same?"
"It's probably just the pheromones messing with me, but when we're close, you're the only thing I can think about, Cindy. Like you, my entire body heats up and I have to overwhelming urge to get closer to you, to touch you, to...kiss you." Peter said with an awkward chuckle as he desperately fought the urge to reach out and start groping Cindy. "You're insanely beautiful, Cindy, and you have no idea how much I'm holding myself back right now. I am quite literally fighting all of my urges to not pin you down and ravish you."
"Well...we don't need to fight those urges anymore. We're free to indulge in all our desires." Cindy said in a seductive tone, partially pulling down her costume and revealing her bra-covered breasts and toned stomach. Leaning forward, Cindy pressed her modest breasts against Peter's chest and cupped his face. "So, why don't you stop fighting those urges and pin me down..."
"You asked for it." Peter said with a devious smirk as he lunged forward and pinned Cindy down, causing her to giggle in excitement. Not wanting to make Cindy feel like she was the only one showing skin, Peter began to remove his costume as well. Cindy couldn't help but moan when she saw Peter's chiseled body, licking her lips as she admired his six-pack and toned muscles. Her eyes raked over his immaculate body, burning the image into her mind. "I'm gonna make you scream my name, Cindy."
"Oh, is that a promise?" Cindy asked with a teasing smile, staring at Peter with half-lidded eyes. However, Cindy was caught off guard when Peter suddenly dove forward and captured her lips once again, sucking on her tongue for a few moments. However, Cindy groaned in disappointment when Peter eventually broke their liplock, a silly smirk plastered on her face. "Okay, that's a very good start."
"Oh, I'm just getting warmed up." Peter said with lust-filled eyes as he reached down and gently ran his fingertips down Cindy's side, causing a pleasurable shiver to run through her body. Gripping Cindy's partially-removed suit, Peter gave it a few playful tugs. "But, we need to get these suits off first."
"Good, I was getting hot in this thing..." Cindy said, reaching out and pulling on the leg of Peter's costume. "Help me take this suit off?" With half-lidded eyes, Cindy flashed Peter a seductive smile. "I want to feel your hands all over me."
"I can definitely do that..." Peter said with a grin as he slowly began to pull the suit down Cindy's toned legs. As the costume inched further down her body, Cindy could feel her face starting to heat up considerably. Once her suit was fully off, Cindy reached up and briefly hid her bra-covered chest. While Cindy knew that she was attractive, it was still the first time a man was seeing her naked body. Noticing that Cindy seemed to be nervous, despite the pheromones ramping up her lust, Peter leaned forward and placed a hungry kiss on her lips. When they eventually broke their liplock, Cindy was panting lightly, staring into Peter's eyes. "You look so fucking hot right now, Cindy...and I'm not saying that because of the pheromones."
"Heh, that definitely gave me a nice confidence boost..." Cindy said with a small smile, before nudging Peter with her foot. "Well, I've got my costume off, it's your turn now." However, as Peter reached down to remove the rest of his costume, Cindy quickly stopped him. "Wait! You helped take mine off, let me do the same!"
"That's only fair." Peter teased as he immediately stopped what he was doing and moved his hands away, a small smirk spreading across his face. Lying back on the bed, Peter clasped his hands behind his head. "Go for it, Cindy."
"Wow, being with three girls has made you kind of smug..." Cindy said, cocking an eyebrow as she sat on her knees in between Peter's legs. Reaching out, Cindy began to slowly tug Peter's costume down his legs. "I don't know if I like it or not."
"Oh, trust me, I could be SO much more cocky right now, but I don't want to be a total asshole..." Peter said with a chuckle as Cindy got his suit down past his knees. Cindy paused for a moment, admiring the sizable bulge in Peter's boxers. "Don't worry, if you ever catch me going too far, I give you free reign to kick my ass."
"Hmmm, I'll be keeping a close eye on you then..." Cindy said, now straddling Peter's waist and pressing her bra-covered breasts against his chest. With a teasing smile, Cindy placed a heated kiss on Peter's lips. "I do prefer your awkward and nervous side." As Cindy raked her fingers down Peter's muscular chest, she frowned slightly when she saw his various fading scars. "Man, these sure tell a story."
"Yeah, I could tell you where I got each of these..." Peter said with a soft chuckle as he felt Cindy trace a light scar that ran across his right pec. "This job does come with its fair share of hazards. Do this long enough and I'm sure you'll get some as well."
"I'm not looking forward to that..." Cindy said with a soft sigh, slowly running her hands across Peter's chest. "But, you're right, it's an occupational hazard."
"I'll be there to make sure you don't get hurt too bad..." Peter said as he reached up and cupped Cindy's cheek, her face flushing slightly. A low moan slipped past Cindy's lips as Peter's other hand rubbed across her toned stomach. Leaning closer, Peter whispered into Cindy's ear, causing a pleasurable shiver to run down her spine. "Now, I think we've put this off long enough." Gently pushing Cindy back down onto the bed, Peter hovered over her, a fiery look in his eyes. "I can't hold back any longer."
Reaching out, Peter practically tore off Cindy's bra and began to grope her modest bust. While one hand was busy massaging Cindy's breasts, Peter's other hand dove into her panties. Cindy bit her bottom lip and barely managed to hold back a moan as two of Peter's fingers snaked inside her. Peter's hands continued to pleasure Cindy, causing her to writhe around on the bed, tightly gripping the sheets. As Peter's fingers curled inside her, and his thumb circled her clit, Cindy couldn't hold back any longer and let a moan that practically shook the room. Feeling a wave of pleasure, Cindy's entire body shuddered as her back arched off the bed and her eyes fluttered.
"Holy shit Peter, I've never felt like this before..." Cindy moaned as she continued to wriggle and squirm, feeling wave after wave of pleasure rock her body as Peter's fingers continued to find all her sweet spots. Now panting slightly, Cindy was so lost in ecstasy that she didn't even notice that Peter had completely taken her panties off. A groan of displeasure rumbled in Cindy's throat when she felt Peter's fingers leave her womanhood. "Oh, come on, Peter! Why the hell did you stop! I was just about to cuAHNm!"
Cindy screamed out in pleasure when she felt Peter's experienced tongue slip into her soaked womanhood. Instantly, Cindy was a moaning and writhing mess. She bit her bottom lip in a vain attempt to hold in her cries of ecstasy. Cindy couldn't believe how amazing Peter's tongue felt, he seemed to know every movement and technique that would have her soaring in pleasure. Without thinking, Cindy reached down and gripped Peter's hair, doing her best to suppress her powers and not tear his scalp off. After only a few brief minutes, Cindy could feel a hot, tingling feeling building up in the core of her stomach, that slowly spread throughout her entire body. Cindy knew that her orgasm was quickly approaching, and one more small push would send her over the edge. As Peter continued to work his tongue, he reached out and used his thumb to massage Cindy's clit. Stimulating Cindy's clitoris was the last thing she needed to be thrown into her orgasm. Cindy screamed out in pure ecstasy as an intense orgasm rocked her whole body.
"God damn, Peter...that...that was incredible...I've never cum that hard in my life..." Cindy panted out, as she tried to catch her breath, several pleasurable aftershocks causing her entire body to shudder. "All your experience is seriously paying off."
"Nice to know all my hard work is paying off." Peter teased with a chuckle, licking his lips as he slid his way up Cindy's body and gave her a brief, tender kiss. "I should thank you for helping me further expand my skillset."
"You're being cocky again, Peter..." Cindy said with a smirk as she sat upright, lifting her leg up and using her foot to push Peter back down to the bed. Positioning herself between Peter's legs, she hungrily eyed his erect shaft and licked her lips. "However, that's not the cock I'm interested in right now."
Peter quirked an eyebrow as he was about to say something, but was immediately gagged when Cindy lunged forward and wrapped her lips around his shaft. Peter was caught off guard as Cindy began to rapidly bob her head up and down his manhood, showcasing incredible enthusiasm. The heat and wetness of her mouth sent waves of pleasure throughout Peter's body. Throwing his head back against a pillow, Peter tightly gripped the bedsheets. As Cindy eagerly took his manhood deeper into her mouth, Peter let out a long, throaty moan. Hearing Peter's pleasured moans encouraged Cindy to double her efforts as she began to twirl her tongue around his cock. Whatever part of his shaft Cindy couldn't reach, she began to stroke with her hands.
"Holy shit Cindy..." Peter groaned as he reached down and gently ran his fingers through Cindy's black hair. After a few more minutes of intense sucking, Peter could feel himself getting close to his climax. He knew that there was no way he could beat the pleasurable onslaught. "Cindy...I'm almost there...I'm about to..."
Knowing that Peter was so close to his orgasm, Cindy took him to the back of her throat. Hissing through his teeth, Peter couldn't hold on much longer. Suddenly gripping Cindy's head with both hands, Peter rapidly thrust his hips several times, completely burying his shaft to the hilt down her throat. After one final thrust, a growl rumbled in Peter's throat as he completely sheathed his manhood in Cindy's mouth. Both spider-people moaned as Peter shot his seed down Cindy's throat. After several spurts, Peter let out a contented sigh and pulled out of Cindy's mouth with a wet pop. After taking a moment to catch her breath, Cindy licked her lips, tasting the remnants of Peter's seed. With a gulp, she swallowed all that was left, finding the taste to be utterly addictive.
"Jesus, Cindy..." Peter said in between breaths, coming down from his orgasmic high. "That was amazing."
"I actually rather enjoyed that." Cindy said with a lustful smirk as she seductively licked her lips once again. "I've read online about giving men fellatio, but I never expected it to be like that...from most of the first-hand accounts I read, most of the women disliked the act...but that actually really got me going...in fact, I want to do it again...and again..." Peter's shaft twitched when he heard this response, causing him to audibly gulp. "But we'll have plenty of time for that later..." Crawling up Peter's body, Cindy gave Peter a brief kiss and began to slowly stroke his manhood, feeling it immediately start to harden in her hand. "Every instinct in my body is screaming at me to get to the main event."
"Yeah, I feel the same way." Peter said, smiling up at the seductive black-haired woman. After moving around on the bed, Cindy lay down on her back, and Peter positioned himself between her legs. Gripping his shaft, Peter lined himself up with Cindy's dripping wet womanhood. "Alright, here I go, Cindy..."
Cindy hissed through her teeth as Peter slowly entered her, feeling a mixture of pleasure and discomfort. However, it didn't take long for the discomfort to disappear, being fully replaced with intense pleasure, causing both Peter and Cindy to moan. The black-haired spider-woman was amazed at how much Peter stretched and filled her. After about a minute, Peter had fully buried himself inside Cindy. She had always heard that a woman's first time was a painful experience, but Cindy was surprised by how good she was feeling. She didn't know if it was just pheromones doing their magic, but Peter's manhood seemed to be the perfect size for her and felt truly amazing.
"Damn...this feels...I can't even put it into words..." Cindy moaned loudly as she began to thrust her hips in time with Peter's thrusts. Within no time, they both had fallen into a continuous and satisfying rhythm. As Peter continued to pound into Cindy, he raised her legs and rested them on his shoulders. With this new position, Peter gripped Cindy's hips and pounded into her even harder. Cindy cried out in pleasure as Peter's thrusts became faster and reached even deeper inside her. She loved the rapid and powerful tempo they had going. "Fuck! Peter! T-This is insane!?"
"I don't plan on stopping any time soon..." Peter grunted, taking one of his hands off of Cindy's hips and reaching down to massage her bouncing breasts. "We're just getting started!"
"Oh, we're not stopping until I can't walk straight..." Cindy said with a smirk as she licked her lips, a seductive glint in her eyes. Showcasing her impressive strength and flexibility, Cindy suddenly wrapped her legs around Peter's waist and spun them around on the bed. With a grunt, Peter's back slammed onto the bed, with Cindy now riding him. Peter leaned his head back and moaned loudly as Cindy began to rapidly bounce on his shaft. "Let me take the wheel for a while..."
Not wanting Cindy to have full control, Peter started to thrust his hips in time with her bouncing. Hearing the black-haired woman let out a pleasured moan, Peter tightly grabbed hold of Cindy's hips and began to pound into her wet womanhood even faster. Cindy bellowed out in ecstasy as her pleasure shot through the roof. As Peter continued to pound into her, Cindy lunged forward and pulled him in for a fiery kiss. They both moaned as their tongues began to battle for dominance. However, Cindy moaned in surprise when she felt Peter sit up, steadily bouncing her in his lap. Their pace slowed down slightly as Peter and Cindy tenderly embraced each other, days of sexual tension finally starting to bubble over.
"Peter..." Cindy breathed out, staring into his eyes as they broke their liplock. With her heart racing in her chest, Cindy leaned back in and gave Peter several peckish kisses. "I don't care if it's just pheromones talking, but I love this. I've never felt this good in my entire life. I don't care about the other women, I'm happy just being able to experience this feeling with you now."
"Cindy..." Peter said with a small smile, sensing her passionate feelings with every movement she made. Suddenly, Peter's smile widened, and he leaned forward. He wrapped his arms around Cindy and hugged her tightly against his chest. "I'm glad you feel that way, Cindy. I know this whole situation is messy and not ideal...but I'll do everything I can to make you girls happy." Cindy could feel her heart flutter as she embraced Peter, burying her face into the crook of his neck. Feeling a wave of happiness, both Peter and Cindy's pace quickened, and it didn't take long for them both to approach their orgasm. "Cindy...I'm getting really close..."
"Me too, Peter...please don't stop..." Cindy groaned as she nuzzled against Peter's neck, giving him several gentle kisses along his collarbone. "Please do it inside...I want to feel you filling me up..."
Both Peter and Cindy moaned in pleasure as they experienced the second orgasm of their passionate lovemaking session. The fiery black-haired woman wrapped her arms around Peter and held him close, her body twitching as she rode out her orgasm, feeling his seed shoot inside her. After a few more moments, Peter slowly pulled out of Cindy, a mixture of both their sexual juices following after him. The web-slingers both flopped down onto the bed, with Cindy cuddling up next to Peter. Both of them were panting slightly as a thin sheen of sweat covered their bodies. Cindy had a satisfied smirk on her face as she lazily drew circles on Peter's muscular chest.
"Wow...that was fantastic Cindy." Peter said, turning to flash his new black-haired lover a smile. "I think that was worth holding off against our urges."
"I'll agree with that...and it really was spectacular..." Cindy said as a lustful smirk spread suddenly across her face. Peter quirked an eyebrow when he felt one of Cindy's hands slide down his body. Then he moaned softly as Cindy began to stroke his manhood back to life. Cindy then rolled on top of Peter once again, her toned ass rubbing against his shaft. "You did say that we weren't gonna stop any time soon. I hope you can keep your word."
"I remember you saying that you didn't want to stop until you couldn't walk straight..." Peter said as a low growl rumbled in his throat, lunging forward and pinning Cindy's arms down. Cindy giggled as Peter captured her lips in another passionate kiss. When Peter broke their liplock, he looked into Cindy's eyes and grinned. "There's no patrols until tomorrow, so we've got all night to enjoy ourselves."
(The Following Morning: Avengers Tower Roof)
"Man, I never get tired of this view..." Peter said with a small smile, staring out at the sprawling New York cityscape as he sat on the edge of the rooftop. Letting out a soft yawn, Peter's face flushed slightly as he remembered the long and passionate night he had spent with Cindy. They had only ended their lovemaking marathon a few hours earlier, so Peter decided to let Cindy get some much-deserved rest. As he basked in the morning sunlight, Peter perked up when he felt his phone start to vibrate. Taking out his phone, Peter's entire demeanor brightened up when he saw who was calling. "Morning, MJ."
"Morning, tiger. I just wanted to hear my lovely boyfriend's voice since you haven't come over in a few days."
"Sorry about that, MJ." Peter said as he let out a soft sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Things have just been so hectic lately. All this shit with different multiverses is seriously stressing me out."
"Are you guys any closer to catching Kingpin? It seems like he's always one step ahead of you."
"Tell me about it..." Peter groaned in frustration, pinching the bridge of his nose. "We're basically out here playing whack-a-mole, only able to hit back whenever something related to whatever he's got planned pops up."
"And...what'll happen if you can't stop him before he completes...whatever it is he's doing?"
"We'll stop him before he ever gets that far." Peter said in a determined tone as he tightened his grip on his cellphone. "I promise I'll keep you and everyone else in this city safe."
"I know you will, tiger...you always do. I...I just wish there was some way I could help you. I hate having to stand on the sidelines and watch you risk your life all the time."
"You do more than enough for me already, MJ. I don't think there are many girls who could put up with my crap." Peter said with a small smile, rubbing the back of his neck. "Just know that you're safe is all I need."
"...I love you, Peter."
"I love you too, MJ." Peter said as he felt his heart beat a bit faster, his face flushing slightly. "I'll talk to you later."
After hanging up the phone, Mary Jane let out a heavy sigh and sunk deeper into the couch she was sitting on. Huffing in frustration, Mary Jane tapped her cellphone against her forehead several times. She couldn't stop thinking about what he had just said to Peter. While she appreciated Peter wanting to keep her safe, she wanted to help him in some way. Mary Jane didn't have amazing powers like her boyfriend, but there had to be some way she could help him out. Letting out another sigh, Mary Jane suddenly perked up when an idea popped into her head. Unlocking her cellphone, MJ quickly scrolled through her contacts and dialed a specific number. After a few moments, a slightly agitated voice answered, followed by what sounded like an explosion.
"Hello! Who is this?! How'd you get this number!?"
"Tony Stark...this is Mary Jane Watson." Mary Jane said, quirking an eyebrow as she listened to what had to be an intense battle unfolding on the other end of the line. "Sorry to bother you, but I was hoping you could help me with something."
"Mary Ja...aw hell, did the kid really give you my damn number!? No wait...I bet you swiped it out of his contact list when he wasn't paying attention. Whatever, how you got my number doesn't matter! Now really isn't a great time, sweetheart! Could you call back in like an hour!? Jarvis, reroute all power to thrusters, I need to dodge this incoming fire!"
"It does sound like you're a bit preoccupied, Mr. Stark. So, I'll keep this brief..." Mary Jane said as she stood up from her couch and walked over to a window, looking at the bustling street below. "I want to be able to help Peter out. I can't stand being on the sidelines anymore as he constantly puts himself in danger."
"Jesus...that's why you're bothering me?! Go get bitten by a radioactive spider. I hear that's all the rage right now."
"I'm being serious right now, Tony." Mary Jane said in an annoyed tone, her brow furrowing slightly. "You're a genius. I'm sure you've got something that can help me."
"Appreciate the compliment, but I can't...wait, there may be something actually."
"Really?" Mary Jane asked as she perked up, resting her hand against the window. "What is it?"
"Well, it's not complete yet, but I have been studying your boyfriend's spider powers...AGH! Damn! That one was close! Anyways, I'll work out the kinks when I've got a minute and upload everything to Jarvis at Avengers Tower. You'll be able to fabricate everything there once you've got the finished schematics!"
"Thank you so much, Tony." Mary Jane said with a small smile as she clutched a hand over her heart. "I don't know how to thank you."
"You can thank me by hanging up and never calling again! Now, I've got to go, Cap needs a hand!"
"How will I-" Mary Jane was cut off when Tony suddenly stopped the call. Clicking her tongue, Mary Jane slipped her phone into her pocket. "Guess he'll get in touch when it's ready." Looking back out the window, Mary Jane gazed at Avengers Tower. "Don't worry, tiger, I'll be the one protecting you soon enough."
"Where the hell are you, Fisk?" Peter muttered, tightly gripping the edge of the roof as his eyes narrowed. "You can't hide forever."
"Don't worry, Peter. We'll find him soon enough." Yelping in surprise, Peter leaped up and nearly fell off the roof. Taking a moment to recompose himself, Peter turned to see that Hida was standing next to him with her arms crossed. "Apologies, did I startle you?"
"Damn right you did, you're like a freaking ninja." Peter said as he took a breath and stood up, standing next to Sakura Spider. "So, what's up?"
"Miguel wants us all to head to the meeting room, so that we can discuss our patrols for today." Hida said, before spinning around and hopping off the roof's edge. However, before Hida re-entered the tower, she turned to look back at Peter, her cheeks flushed slightly. "Don't forget, you promised to show me around town while we're on patrol."
"Of course, I remembered, Hida. I'll show you some of the coolest spots in New York." Peter said with a grin as he followed Hida back into the tower. After a brief walk, they entered the meeting room where everyone else was already gathered. As Peter entered the room, he briefly locked eyes with Cindy, both of their faces flushing red. Coughing in his fist to compose himself, Peter took a seat next to Gwen, who gave him a knowing look. "So, what's on the docket today, Miguel?"
"Glad you could finally join us." Miguel said, letting out a light sigh as he tapped away at a tablet he was holding. After a few moments, he threw up a 3D projection of New York in the center of the table. One-by-one, dozens of red dots began to appear across the map, no real pattern between their placements. "As we previously theorized, Kingpin has definitely figured out we can track him by the energy signature my device gives off when its activated. Each of those red dots is a ping from one of my drones in just the last twelve hours alone."
"Shit, that's way more than last time." Gwen said as she watched the amount of red dots continue to increase. "What the hell are we going to do?"
"We just have to ramp up our efforts." Natasha said, setting down her phone as her eyes narrowed slightly. "I'm about to meet some of my contacts. Hopefully, I can shake some info out of them."
"There has to be something that will help us find Kingpin..." Miles muttered as he intently stared at the projection, looking for any possible patterns. "We know that Kingpin must be getting close to setting his plan in motion." Noticing an odd cluster of red dots, Miles' brow furrowed as he stood up from his seat. "What about these clusters? What if Kingpin is using them to mask the larger energy signature emitted by his device?"
"That's...actually a good idea kid." Miguel said, his eyes widening as he zoomed out the 3D projection. "If we use Miles' theory..." Tapping away on his tablet, Miguel highlighted all the clusters of red dots. That took the number of areas they needed to search from over a hundred to just fifteen in total. "That significantly reduces our search area."
"So, we've got our new targets to scout." Cindy said as she scanned over the clusters scattered across the city. "They're still spread out across the entire city."
"That also means they could have been areas where Kingpin tested the device." Hida chimed in, her eyes narrowing slightly as she crossed her arms. "So, we should expect to run into trouble."
"Hida is right." Peter added as he nodded his head, looking at everyone gathered in the room. "We've already run into a few people Kingpin has brought in from different dimensions. There are sure to be more."
"You heard him, be on your toes out there people." Miguel said, tapping a few times on his tablet as a list of all their names appeared on the projection. "Teams will be: Miles and me, Gwen and Cindy, Peter and Hida, and Natasha will be flying solo. Each team will hit at least three of these clusters, and we'll mop up any we missed tomorrow. Any questions?" Seeing that everyone understood their assignments, Miguel nodded and slipped on his mask. "Good. Everyone be ready to go in five. Miles, I'll meet you up on the roof."
"Ready to go, Hida?" Peter asked as he pulled out his mask and put it on. "I'll show you all the coolest places in New York."
"Right behind you, Peter." Hida said with a smile, flipping up her hood as she walked with Peter out of the room. "So, what's our first stop?"
(Three Hours Later: Streets of Manhattan)
"Those first two spots were a total bust." Peter said as he let out a soft sigh, clasping his hands behind his head. "No bad guys. No clues. Nothing. If Kingpin or his goons were at those places, they covered their tracks perfectly."
"What's our next plan of action?" Hida asked, walking beside Peter as she noticed people giving her inquisitive looks. "Should we head to the next designated area?"
"Nah, let's take a break for a bit." Peter said as he stopped, resting his hands on his hips. "I'm starving, let's get a bite to eat."
"Oh?" Hida asked in a curious tone, quirking an eyebrow as she turned to face Peter. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well, you'll never get the full New York experience unless we get you a slice of pizza." Peter said enthusiastically as he gestured toward the building they were standing in front of. "And this place has the best pizza in all of New York."
"Here?" Hida said skeptically, staring at the small, slightly rundown-looking building. "This place doesn't exactly instill much confidence. But...I'll trust your judgement, Peter."
"I promise you'll love it." Peter said as he opened the door for Hida, both of them entering the small restaurant. As soon as they were inside, Hida was shocked to see that the place was packed, with there being almost no room for them to stand. However, before she could worry about how long it would take them to get their food, Peter nudged her with his elbow. "Watch this..." Reaching out to the man in front of them, Peter tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me."
"What do you..." The gruff-looking man in front of them stopped mid-sentence when he saw who had touched him. His eyes widened in shock, and his entire demeanor changed, a large smile spreading across his face. "Oh shit! It's Spider-Man! No fucking way!"
Instantly, everyone in the restaurant whipped around to face them. All of them swarming around Peter, high-fiving him and hounding him for an autograph. After firing off some quips and taking some pictures, Peter and Hida soon found themselves at the front of the crowd. Standing behind the counter was a man who appeared to be in his early sixties, with salt and pepper hair, wearing a flour-stained smock. Spotting the wallcrawler, a bright smile spread across the man's face, and he stepped out from behind the counter, giving Peter a tight bear hug.
"There he is, my favorite spider guy!" The man let out a hearty laugh as he roughly patted Peter on the back. "What can Vito do for you?"
"Well Vito, my friend and I were doing some crime fighting in the area..." Peter said, gesturing toward Hida and gently pushing her forward. Giving an awkward wave, Hida smiled at Vito. "And we were hoping to get a slice."
"BAH! Just a slice? No! Vito will give you and your friend a full pizza on me!" Vito laughed as he slapped Peter on the back again, causing him to sputter and stumble forward. "You saved my shop from those thugs who were shaking me down! It's the least Vito can do! HAHA!" Stepping back behind the counter, Vito poked his head back into the kitchen. "HEY! Get me a large pie for our spider friends!" After a brief exchange, Vito returned and flashed Peter and Hida a beaming smile. "It'll be just a minute."
"So..." Hida said, looking between Vito and Peter. "You said that Spider-Man saved your shop?"
"What the hell did she just say?" Vito asked as he quirked an eyebrow, giving Peter a confused look. "Sorry, sweetie, I don't understand whatever language you're speaking."
"Ah, here, let me help you out, Vito..." Peter said, taking out a spare pair of earpieces and offering them to Vito. "Put these in and you'll be able to understand her."
"For real..." Vito asked skeptically as he took the earpieces and examined them for a moment. Seeing Peter nod his head, Vito shrugged and put the earpieces in. "Okay, talk to Vito again."
"Oh, sure thing." Hida said, causing Vito's eyes to widen slightly as he understood her perfectly now. "I was just asking how Spider-Man saved your store."
"Holy shit! These things are awesome!" Vito exclaimed with a grin as he marveled at the technology Peter had given him. "And yeah, it was about two weeks ago." Vito crossed his arms and nodded. "Some local gangsters were trying to extort me for 'protection' money. But my arachnid friend here put those bastards in their place. You should have seen it, had them running like chickens before he webbed them up, haha! The next day, he found out where their little gang was holed up and shut down their entire operation."
"Wow, very impressive." Hida said with a smirk, nudging Peter with her elbow as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Looks like the people around here really like you, Spider-Man."
"Oh my, yes! We love Spider-Guy! Ain't that right?!" Vito bellowed, which was quickly followed by several agreements from the crowd behind them. Leaning forward on the counter, Vito eyes Hida up and down. "So, who are you, new spider girl? And what's with the no mask thing? Not worried about people finding out who you are?"
"You can call me Sakura Spider..." Hida said with a smile, pulling down her hood as she shrugged her shoulders. "And I'm from...uh...out of town. So, I'm not really worried about people seeing my face."
"Ah, an out-of-towner." Vito said as she stroked his chin, before flashing Peter a grin. "I'm sure our friendly neighborhood spider guy told you that you needed to try Vito's pizza while you're here?"
"He did say it was the best in the city." Hida said, causing Vito to let out another boisterous laugh. "Mighty big expectations, Vito."
"I don't know about best in the city, but my customers sure like my food." Vito said, just as one of his employees stepped out of the kitchen and handed him a box of pizza. With a beaming smile, Vito handed the steaming hot pizza to Peter. "It was a pleasure to meet you...eh...Sakura Spider. You and spider guy feel free to stop in again anytime!"
"Thanks, Vito! You're the best!" Peter said as he and Hida waved to the shop owner as they walked out of the restaurant. After a brief swing, Peter and Hida found themselves near the top of the Chrysler Building, sitting on one of the metallic gargoyles that jutted out from the building. Pulling off his mask, Peter opened the pizza box and offered Hida a slice. "Let me know what you think."
"..." Hida said nothing as she grabbed the slice of pizza and took a bite. After a few moments, her eyes widened and she quickly took several more quick bites. In a flash, Hida had finshed the entire slice and was diving in for another. "Holy crap! This is the best pizza I've ever had!"
"Told you." Peter said with a grin, grabbing a slice of his own and digging in. After demolishing his slice, Peter let out a contented sigh and gazed out at the sprawling city before them. "Man, I never get tired of this view."
"It truly is amazing..." Hida breathed out as she clasped her hands in her lap, a small smile creeping across her face. "This city truly is something."
"I knew you'd like it here." Peter said, pausing to grab himself another slice of pizza. "So, I take it you enjoyed our little tour of New York?"
"You seem to know every interesting spot in the city." Hida said with a smile as she leaned back and gazed out at New York's skyline. "The Statue of Liberty...that Sanctum Santorum building...Central Park...and so many other awesome places. It was better than a guided tour."
"It sucks Dr. Strange wasn't at the Sanctum, I would have loved for you to meet him. He uses crazy magic, and he's got this awesome cape that he can use to fly around." Peter said, scooting a little closer to Hida as he joined her. "Wong wasn't there either. You'd love him." Grabbing another slice of pizza, Peter glanced at Hida. "So, what's it like in your dimension?"
"On the surface, it doesn't seem that much different than this one. I did some web surfing yesterday, and from what I saw, our dimensions have a lot of similarities." Hida explained as she grabbed another piece of pizza as well, pausing to take a bite. "A lot of the same heroes, Captain America, Iron Man...Deadpool. The Avengers. I was actually approached by Captain America to start a team of heroes in Tokyo, called Samurai Squad. That's how I met Deadpool. We've also got another member named Neiro...but that's a whole can of worms."
"Wow, you've got your own team? That's amazing. You're awesome, Hida." Peter complimented, causing Hida's face to flush slightly. "So, you're from Tokyo? I've always wanted to go there."
"Well, next time I'll be the one giving you a tour." Hida said with a grin as she scotted even closer, her hips pressing against Peter's. "I'll show you all the sights."
"Heh, it's another date then." Peter joked, earning him a playful punch in the shoulder from Hida, whose face was bright red. Chuckling to himself, Peter tugged down Hida's hood. "Sorry. Sorry. I won't tease you."
"Hmph!" Hida huffed in annoyance as she crossed her arms, but her expression quickly softened. "I'm glad you're the one who found me, Peter." Hida leaned over and rested her head against Peter's shoulder. "I'd be so lost without you and the others."
"We'll make sure you get home, Hida." Peter said, wrapping an arm around Hida's shoulder and holding her close. "I promise."
"..." Hida said nothing for several moments as she simply enjoyed Peter's company. However, they couldn't stay like this forever, they had a task to complete. "I think we should get going, Peter."
"As much as I'd like to sit up here all day, you're right." Peter said, grabbing his mask and partially putting it on. Standing up, Peter used his web shooter to snag one last slice of pizza. "Let's get going."
"Hopefully, we'll find something." Hida said as she grabbed the last slice of pizza and hopped onto her feet. "So, where are we going?"
"The location is pretty close by..." Peter said, finishing off the last bite of pizza as he pulled down his mask. "It's in Hell's Kitchen."
(Five Minutes Later: Abandoned Apartment Building Within Hell's Kitchen)
"This is the place?" Hida questioned as she quirked an eyebrow, standing outside a relatively dilapidated-looking 6 story apartment building. "It doesn't look like anybody's been here in years."
"Yeah, we're in the right place." Peter said, scanning through the information that was flashing through the HUD in his mask. "The cluster was in this building."
"Ugh, I'm getting bad vibes from this place." Hida muttered as she looked at the broken and boarded-up windows. "Let's make this fast."
"I'll take the lead." Peter said, stepping up to the door and trying to pull it open. However, the door seemed to be locked. Putting in a little more muscle, Peter tore the door open, causing Hida and himself to cough as they were hit by a wall of dust. "Damn, this place needs to be tidied up."
"You're telling me..." Hida said as she tapped Peter's shoulder, pointing toward something down the hall. Looking where Hida was gesturing, Peter's eyes widened when he spotted an unconscious man. "Looks like we aren't the only ones here."
"This is one of Kingpin's thugs." Peter said, kneeling down and examining the unconscious man. "But, who took him out?"
"Whoever it is..." Hida said as she gestured further down the hall, noticing that seveal more thugs were knocked out cold. "They did a REALLY good job."
"Let's head in further, maybe we'll find this mysterious badass." Peter said, walking down the hall toward the stairwell. As Hida and Peter ascended the stairs, they found more unconscious goons, with guns scattered across the ground and bullet holes lining the walls. Reaching the fifth floor, they could hear what sounded like fighting coming from one of the abandoned apartments near the end of the hall. Slowly approaching the door to the apartment, Peter reached out to open it. However, he yelped in surprise and lept back as someone smashed through the door and slammed into the opposite wall. "Holy hell!"
"Looks like you're a little late to the party..." A familiar voice said from within the apartment as a figure stepped out of the dust and shadows. Suddenly, Peter and Hida's spide-senses went off as a final goon burst out of the apartment behind them and aimed a handgun at them. However, before either of them could react, the thug was knocked out when a baton richotched off the floor and hit him in the head. Catching the baton as it bounced back, the figure stepped out into the hallway, and Peter wasn't surprised to see that their mystery badass was Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil. "Spider-Man...and a friend?"
"I should have known it was you who did this. Hell's Kitchen is your stomping ground after all." Peter said, crossing his arms as he watched Daredevil nudge one of the unconscious triggermen with his baton. "Impressive work as always."
"Impressive is right. I can't believe he took out all these guys by himself, there had to be at least thirty of Kingpin's thugs." Hida said as she let out a low whistle, admiring Matt's work. "Who is this guy?"
"The name is Daredevil." Matt said, putting his baton away and approaching Peter and Hida. "I'd tell you more, but I don't know you yet."
"Oh, this is..." Peter stopped mid-sentence and whipped his head toward Matt, seemingly caught off guard by something. "Wait, you can understand her?"
"Yeah, I learned Japanese a few years ago." Matt said with a smirk as he rested his hands on his hips. "One of my clients was Japanese, so I brushed up on it to better communicate with him."
"Client?" Hida parroted in a suspicious tone, shooting Matt a skeptical look. "Are you an assassin or something?"
"I'm actually a lawyer." Matt replied, which immediately seemed to ease Hida's mind. "A really good one."
"I can attest to that. He's gotten me out of a few legal binds." Peter said with a chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck. "So, what brings you here?"
"The same thing that probably brought you two here..." Matt said, his face hardening as he frowned. "Fisk." Turning around, Matt gestured for Peter and Hida to follow him. The trio walked into the last apartment at the end of the hall. Inside, there were several unconscious goons, along with almost a dozen crates filled with guns and military-grade equipment. "I got a tip about a weapons deal happening in this building. It looks like it was accurate. But...that's not the most interesting thing I found." Opening the door to the bathroom, Peter was surprised to see the Prowler knocked out and tied up. However, it wasn't the Prowler he knew. "Recognize him? Or rather, you shouldn't recognize him."
"Damn it, another one...things are really starting to get out of hand." Peter said as he let out a heavy sigh and crouched down in front of the Prowler. "Karen, run the new program Miguel made for you."
"On it, Peter."
"Let's see where you're from." Peter muttered, the lens in his mask briefly glowing as he scanned the Prowler. "So, you're from Earth-1610. Karen, call Yuri and let her know she's got some bad guys to round up."
"Already called her when you entered the building."
"What exactly is going on here?" Matt asked as he reached out and grabbed Peter's shoulder. "What is Fisk planning?"
"Something really bad...and it would take me too long to explain everything." Peter said, letting out a soft sigh as he stood up. "You stopping this weapon deal really helped, though. I'm sure it will slow Fisk down at least a little bit. So, thanks for that."
"Well, I may be able to do one more thing to help you..." Matt said as he walked over to one of the weapon cases and spun it around. Instantly, Peter recognized the logo on the side of the crate. "I think this is your next lead."
"Sable International..." Peter said, walking over and inspecting the crate. "There's no way she'd...no...I can't be sure. Looks like I'll need to talk to Silver Sable."
"Good luck with that." Matt said as he began to walk out of the apartment. "I'll see if I can find some other ways to disrupt whatever Fisk is planning." Stopping in the doorway, Matt turned his head to look back at Peter and Hida. "And when you go to take down Fisk...if you need backup...you know how to get in touch."
"Wow...he's intense." Hida said, gazing at the doorway Matt had walked out of. "So, looks like this Silver Sable may be able to give us some answers."
"Yeah, this is probably our best lead right now." Peter said as he let out a light sigh, starting to walk out of the apartment. "I just hope Silver won't shoot me when she sees me. We seem to swap from being friends to enemies every time we run into each other."
(That Night: Avengers Tower Roof)
"Man, it's been a long day..." Peter said, suppressing a yawn as he walked out onto the tower's roof. "I'm just gonna get some fresh air then..."
Peter trailed off when he spotted Miles sitting on the roof's edge. The young man had headphones in, so he hadn't heard Peter step onto the roof. Thinking that Miles probably wanted some time alone, Peter was about to leave. However, he stopped when he heard Miles sniffle. Feeling a paternal instinct, Peter walked over and stepped up onto the roof's edge. Miles was surprised when Peter suddenly sat down next to him, quickly wiping his eyes.
"P-Peter!" Miles awkwardly exclaimed as he sniffled again, trying his best to hide the fact that he was crying. "W-What're you doing here?"
"I originally came out to get some fresh air before bed..." Peter said, before giving Miles a comforting smile. "But, then I saw you out here and I thought I'd join you. Is that okay?"
"Yeah...I guess so." Miles muttered as he gazed out at the Sun setting behind New York's cityscape. "I just needed to clear my head."
"Look, Miles, you don't have to tell me anything...we can just sit in silence and enjoy the view..." Peter said, reaching over and placing a hand on the young man's shoulder. "But, it's obvious something is bothering you. And if you want to talk, I'll listen."
"I don't..." Miles started to say, but quickly stopped and let out a heavy sigh. Pausing for a moment, Miles sniffled again and wiped away the tears that were forming. "I just...I just miss my family, man. I haven't seen my parents in days, they're probably worried sick about me. And who knows what the hell is going on back in my dimension. With no Spider-Man...god, I don't even want to think about it."
"I can't even imagine what you're going through right now, Miles. It's a lot for someone as young as you." Peter said, smiling softly as he gave Miles' shoulder a squeeze. "I wish you could experience being a normal kid, enjoy it for a bit. But, with the powers we have...if you're gonna do what I do...things are going to be crazy all the time. It's going to be so, SO, hard, and there will be times when you'll want to quit. But we have a responsibility to people who need help...and it's my responsibility to make sure you get home, Miles. You have my word, you'll see your parents again."
"Thanks, Peter..." Miles said with a smile as a single tear fell from his eye. Suddenly lunging forward, Miles embraced Peter in a tight hug. "I feel a lot better now."
"I'm here whenever you need me, Miles." Peter said, gently patting Miles' back as he tightened the hug. After a few more moments, Miles ended their embrace and stood up. "Get some rest, Miles. You look exhausted."
"Yeah, Miguel really put me through my paces today." Miles said with a chuckle as he stifled a yawn. "I'm probably gonna fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow." Beginning to walk off the roof, Miles stopped in the doorway leading back into the tower and turned to look back at Peter. "Thanks again, Peter...good night."
"Night, Miles..." Peter said, giving a wave as he watched Miles disappear into the tower. Letting out a soft sigh, Peter returned to looking at the almost completely set Sun. "I'll definitely get you and everyone else back home, Miles."
"You always did have a way with kids." Yelping in surprise, Peter almost fell off the roof for the second time that day when he heard a voice suddenly speak up from behind him. Whipping around, Peter's eyes lit up when he spotted a familiar face floating in the air, energy radiating off their body. "I got a message from Tony. Looks like you guys could use my help."
"Carol?!" Peter exclaimed, a huge smile spreading across his face. "Tony really sent in the cavalry."
