The Fake Spider (Spiderman Fanfic)

Spiderman's Suit

With a burst of adrenaline-fueled strength, I lunged towards the door, my fingers grasping the doorknob with a white-knuckled grip. Just before my dad could fully open the door, I exerted every ounce of force in my being, pulling it backward with all my might. The door closed with a resounding thud, sealing away the bizarre revelation from his prying eyes.

"I-I'm fine." I stammered, my voice betraying the whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. My heart raced, my breaths were rapid, and my words stumbled over each other as I desperately concocted excuses to maintain the facade. "Nothing's wrong!" I exclaimed, the pitch of my voice rising in a futile attempt to sound convincing.

Unable to see my dad's expression through the closed door, I anxiously awaited his response, bracing myself for further questioning. His voice seemed flustered, but he acquiesced, saying, "Alright then." A semblance of relief washed over me, believing he might not probe further into the enigma that had unraveled in my room.

Yet, my hopes were quickly dashed as he continued his inquiries. "You haven't gotten your hands on anything dangerous, have you?" His voice took on a more serious tone, and I shook my head vigorously, my voice rising in volume.

"No! Of course not! I'm serious, I'm fine!" My words came out in a hurried rush, my insistence masking the fear that lingered beneath the surface. Please, I silently pleaded, don't delve deeper into this matter.

"Seriously, Andreas." Dad's tone remained stern, unyielding in its concern. "You better not be doing anything dangerous in there; you need to focus on your test."

My gaze fell to the floor, and my emotions, once a whirlwind of nervousness, gradually settled into sober acceptance. Taking a deep breath, I mustered the strength to reply, "Okay, dad." My voice wavered, but it seemed that he was satisfied with my response, as the sound of his footsteps indicated his departure.

Sitting back down on the floor, leaning against the door, I removed my mask with trembling hands. Relief washed over me like a tidal wave; I had narrowly escaped discovery.

My eyes returned to the mesmerizing web that still clung to the cabinet door. A sense of wonder mixed with trepidation filled me, as I pondered the inexplicable nature of the situation.

"Is this Spiderman's real suit?" I marveled aloud, my voice barely above a whisper, as I fixed my gaze on the ceiling. The events of the past few minutes had left me dazed and bewildered, and now, faced with undeniable evidence, my mind struggled to process the staggering possibility before me.

Awe mingled with doubt as I contemplated the implausible scenario. Could it be that the costume I had dismissed as a mere cosplay held an astonishing truth? My fingers grazed the webbing that had materialized from the suit, as if seeking confirmation from the very threads that defied all logic.

The revelation of the web-shooting ability struck at the core of my convictions. Could this be something more than a fan's passionate tribute? A profound sense of wonder enveloped me as I considered the implications of possessing such a phenomenal artifact.

"People know that Spiderman uses artificial webs," I murmured, my mind racing with possibilities, "But no one has ever succeeded in creating those artificial webs themselves." And yet, here it was before me, defying the norms of human ingenuity. Its strength, stickiness, and thickness surpassed any attempts made by enthusiasts or scientists alike.

A surge of conviction overcame my skepticism, fueled by the craftsmanship that spoke volumes about its authenticity. The materialization of Spiderman's iconic ability, coupled with the impeccable similarity to the hero's genuine attire, strengthened my belief that this might be more than just a replica.

"It's probably his suit," I confessed to myself, embracing the surreal reality that was unfolding. There was no denying the magnitude of the discovery. The thought that Spiderman's actual costume might be within my grasp seemed ludicrous, yet undeniable. My heart raced with excitement, mixed with a hint of trepidation.

Yet, the euphoria was soon eclipsed by an even more profound query: "Why was it in a place like that?"

The circumstances surrounding its appearance defied all logical explanations. The suit, the embodiment of Spidey's heroic persona, was nestled in that abandoned alleyway, seemingly forgotten amidst the debris and near the trash can.

My mind raced, trying to make sense of it all. Why would Spiderman leave his iconic suit in such an obscure and unassuming location? If he didn't retrieve it in time, it could have been easily mistaken for discarded rubbish and whisked away by the garbage collectors.

Was he trying to throw it away?

The moment that thought came to mind, I felt my hairs stand up as I shivered from the implications of it. If he really was trying to throw it away, then that means he wanted to quit being Spiderman. The mere prospect sent a chill in my spine.

"No, I can't reach that conclusion yet," I reminded myself, attempting to quell the rush of assumptions that threatened to overwhelm my judgment. "What if he just got a new suit?"

The idea provided a glimmer of hope, a plausible alternative to the somber notion that my hero had given up his mantle. Perhaps he had acquired an updated suit, one with even greater capabilities, rendering the previous costume obsolete but not forgotten. That thought brought a semblance of relief, like a flickering light in the darkness of uncertainty.

Wait, what if I've been thinking wrongly?

What if Spidey was actually planning to get this suit later because he had important matters to attend to beneath the mask? What if he had left it temporarily, with the intention of reclaiming it at a later time?

"Crap." I said, my heart sinking with the realization that I might have accidentally taken something that wasn't meant for me. A mix of emotions swirled within me - surprise, guilt, and a touch of anxiety at the idea of unintentionally messing up something so significant.

I gazed at the suit before me, feeling a strange connection to it now. It wasn't just a cosplay anymore; it held an air of authenticity, like a portal into the world of superheroes. A faint glimmer of excitement resurfaced amidst the concern, knowing that, for a brief moment, I held in my hands something truly extraordinary.

Yet, I couldn't shake the notion that I had unknowingly disrupted Spidey's plans. While the thought of wearing the iconic suit thrilled me, the weight of responsibility tugged at my conscience. What if he needed it for a crucial mission? What if my impulsive curiosity had inadvertently disrupted the hero's plans to protect the city?

Trying to quell my racing thoughts, I took a deep breath and decided to handle the situation responsibly. Slowly, I began to detach the web from the cabinet door, showing the suit the utmost care and respect it deserved. It was still a marvel to behold, but I knew it was not mine to keep.

With painstaking care, I delicately peeled away the sections of webbing that had adhered to the suit, my fingers trembling with a mixture of awe and trepidation. It was as if I was handling a priceless artifact, a sacred relic from a realm beyond my comprehension. Every fiber of the suit held a piece of Spiderman's legacy, and I was acutely aware of the responsibility that came with this unexpected encounter.

As the last of the webbing gave way, I let out a relieved breath, savoring the sight of the metal web shooters snapping back into their rightful place. The suit, though bearing faint creases from its momentary entanglement, looked remarkably close to its original immaculate condition. A sense of accomplishment washed over me, knowing that I had done my utmost to honor the essence of Spiderman's legacy.

Gently, almost reverently, I folded the suit with meticulous precision, ensuring that every seam aligned flawlessly. Resolute in my decision, I placed the now carefully folded suit back into my bag. My heart swelled with determination to embark on a mission of my own: to return it to its rightful owner, Spidey. It was the only course of action that felt right, the path to redemption for an accidental encounter that defied all logical explanations.

I unintentionally glanced at my desk, and there it was, my school supplies sitting innocently as if they were giving me judgmental looks for getting distracted by the extraordinary Spiderman suit. "Okay, okay, school stuff, I hear you loud and clear." I said, knowing I need to start studying again or else Dad will get mad.

I guess I'll start finding a way to return it tomorrow.
