Ghost

37

Homecoming is meant to be the highlight of the school year. Everyone dressing up and dancing with friends. Peter always loved watching those scenes in teen movies.

His homecoming however, was nothing like the movies.

Especially the part where Peter found out his dates dad was the Vulture and threatened him with a gun.

Long story short, Peter arrived at Liz Allen's house to take her to homecoming. He wasn't expecting the unmasked vulture to open the door to him. Blah blah blah...he found out Peter was Spider-Man and told him to leave him alone or he'd kill him.

So Peter did what was right...he ditched Liz and followed Vulture.

Peter found him in an abandoned warehouse after stealing Flash Thompsons car, to which Adrian Toomes dropped the whole warehouse on Peter.

Peter was in pain, as most would be when a building collapses on top of them.

His legs and left arm were trapped under heavy debris. This was it, he thought. If Peter was being honest, he thought he'd have a longer run as Spider-Man.

Still struggling and panicking, Peter rips off his mask with his free arm and gasps for air. "Oh, god. Okay, ready?" He mutters to himself, giving himself another attempt to free.

He struggles again...but still no luck.

"Hello! Hello! Please. Hey, hey, please. I'm down here. I'm down here. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I can't move. I can't..." Peter yells, one final attempt to get help. But there's who would be around an abandoned warehouse this late.

"Hello?" Peter hears a voice. He is instantly filled with hope.

"I'm here! Please..." Peter screams again.

"Peter?...Peter!" The voice is louder now and much more clear. And familiar.

"Maddie? Maddie! Please help" Peter cried as the voice came into view.

"Oh my god! W-what happened?!?".

"Can you help me, Ill tell all after" Peter groaned.

"Yes..shit. Ok. Um - you're going to have to help me with this one bug boy". Maddie spoke, motioning towards Peters free hand and the debris on his legs.

"Count of 3, we both push. 1....2....3!"

The teens both pushed at the heavy concrete, using all their strength to free Peters trapped legs. Peter sighed in immense relief as he felt the blood circulate his lower half again. After finally getting his other arm lose. Maddie was quick to help him stand.

"Thank you Maddie. But um...how did you find me?". Peter asked as he dusted himself off.

"You think I didn't put a back up tracker in all your suits for emergencies? Even the pyjama one?" Maddie laughed. "But you can grill me on it later, your redemption is getting away."

Peter gave a small smile and nod, before he was quick to run after Adrian.

Maddie watched as Peter ran off. Her face turning serious again when her Dads number came up on her phone.

"Hey dad, what's up?" Maddie tried to answer calmly.

Sitting on a ferris wheel , watching as the authorities arrive at the newly destroyed beach where Peter defeated Adrian Toomes was not on his bucket list. His legs felt numb and his face was all marked up, but it was worth it knowing he saved many peoples lives. Sure, he missed homecoming and a chance to dance with the most popular girl in school, it's just a shame her dad was a criminal.

All Peter could think of now was what's going to happen to Liz now her dads been arrested. Peter nows how it feels to lose a parent so he knew it would be hard for Liz. But Peter also knows he has to separate his feelings and superhero business.

Except when his feelings come from superhero business.

Slowly swinging down from the ferris wheel and reaching the sand, Peter left the crime scene and made his way back to his small apartment, knowing his aunt May went out for the night.

It's been awhile lol. Sorry about that. Quick update - I'm finally getting to the good part in the sequel so as soon as I finally finish this book, the final will be up after. Please please stick with the book, I know I'm pretty unreliable when it comes to uploading but life's been pretty shit lately.

Anywhos,
I love you all
