400 reads!?!??! I haven't seen how many reads in a while. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy my stories.
BTW Spiderman isn't my favorite but I kinda based this story on him.

I was reading the latest local newspaper. Correction, the comic section. The birthplace of our local superhero, (favorite superhero), our town idolize him. I record videos of him on my blog.
  Him, as well as a guy from school, are both my crush. I liked C/N since middle school and (fs/n) arrived a few months ago. I groaned as the alarm to send me off to school yelled, pulling me back to the present.
I walked to school and suffered through another almost endless day. It started to rain right as the bell rang to dismiss us. I ran to a nearby alley to cut through to my apartment. Someone grabbed my bag and pulled sharply.
"Where do you think your going, little girl? Ya lost? I could help you find your way," his breath smelled heavily of alcohol. He pulled me along, opposite of the apartment. I kicked him and he let go for a second then dragged me back.
"You want the hard way. I can tell your going to be..." He was cut off and fell to the ground. I crawled away and someone fell beside him.
"Cops have been after you for years. They'll be glad to have you behind bars," the guy tied the man up and crouched beside me.  "We need to get out of here. Are you okay?" I nodded and was lifted off my feet. I looked down and nearly screamed.
"It's okay, don't look down," he whispered.
"C/N..." I passed out in the guys arms.

(Fav superhero name) POV
Does she know who I really am?  I asked myself as I laid her on her bed.

Y/N POV
"I heard what happened today. Are you okay?" Mom came in and say beside me.
"Yea. All good," I thought about it until the next day during school. All of my friends asked how I was after yesterday.
"Hey Y/N, hold on," C/N jogged up to me.
"Hey, what's up?"
"I know you got asked a lot today but are you really okay after yesterday?"
"Almost kidnapped, mysteriously got home, no recollection of not much after the attempted kidnapping. Yeah, I'm good," I kept walking into the classroom and C/N sat beside me.
"No recollection at all? You don't know how you got home," I nodded, lying of course but he did look hopeful.
"I'll see you after class. I need to tell you something later," he frowned and went to his seat. I remember when (fs/n) freaked out when I called him C/N. I know what I heard.

"What did you want to tell me?"
"Slipped my mind," he shook his head.
"No it didn't. Please tell me," I turned the normal corner to get to my apartment. I turned right before the building and followed the sidewalk. I
"Have you ever been here?" He shook his head.
"This isn't your apartment. It's BFF/N's," I raised my eyebrow.
"How do you know?"
"Her boyfriend dragged me over to wait on her," I inwardly frowned. I turned on my heel and went up into my apartment.
"This is my city. I have taken care of it way before your alternate self existed," I yelled when we got to my room. "It was perfect until you started working at the lab. That's why you quit, isn't it?" I nodded at his arm. He pulled his shirt sleeve down. "That's why you wear longer sleeves. You want to hide your secret," I whispered, pulling his sleeve back up, revealing the web-like mark.
"This isn't what it looks like," I pulled my sleeve up to my shoulder.
"It's exactly how it looks like. The lab put the spider in my house when Mom was working there. It not me instead. They wanted to kill her slowly. When she found out her daughter developed powers, they fired her. That was, I don't know, 4th grade. The lab trained me behind Mom's back and created a fully functional weapon.
"During school a few years later, they bombed her floor. No one on that floor survived. They said the employees who worked on that floor were moved and shouldn't have been up there. I left early because I felt like I was being ripped apart. The phone rang.
"She told me to be strong. Avoid the lab as much as possible. It was set up," I went downstairs and brought up my tape recorder.
"Have a good day, sweetie," "Have fun at school," and "I love you," played and stopped.
"I couldn't deal with her death. I recorded random phrases she said when I was little," I waved my hand around and created a figure.
"Anytime I need parental related things to be handled, I would create one. Every one thought my mom was still alive. I started fighting crime right before her death. She never knew that her 6th grade e was fighting crime," I when to my closet and pulled out an old, dusty box. I pulled the small device on my wrist and the suit molded to my body.
"You. I can't believe you... Everything makes so much sense. The fight at school, the random spider webs when your mad or anxious. I need my suit for the webs," I nodded and took the device off.
"I didn't forget about yesterday. I knew it was you. Didn't want you to get sucked into this mess but you did that yourself."
"We can fight crime together. We can prevent the lab from experimenting on kids," I shook my head.
"My crime fighting days are over. They will just improve the serum," he took my hand.
"If you don't want to fight anymore, it's okay. But when you want to help, there will always be a slot," he turned away.
"Thanks C/N," his watch buzzed.
"I gotta go," I kissed his cheek.
"Be careful and good luck, (fs/n)" he grinned and left.
I took the device in my hand and placed it again.
"It can't hurt to be me again," I said as I transformed.

You are both superheroes! I was going to just make it C/N but this works better. The mom part is actually kinda depressing though. Hope you enjoyed this one!
