The Next Day...
I decided to meet up Peter at his house and take the train to the show. It's near the library, so it shouldn't be too far. I dressed myself in typical black clothing, with a black Hardy Boyz shirt, some black jeans and my converses, while also wearing a black toque and wearing some black lipstick and eyeliner. If it wasn't obvious enough, I really like the colour black. I walked until I saw Peter's house, and I knocked on his door. I waited a few seconds before the lovely Aunt May opened the door. From behind her, I could see Uncle Ben reading the paper and something being cooked in the stove.
"Hi May," I greeted cheerfully, "Peter and I are just going to study in the library."
"Oh, Y/N. Yes of course, Peter's just getting changed. You know that boy, always a bit sloppy." May joked.
"Ha, tell me about it."
"Heya Y/N," Ben waved, "How's the family?"
"Hi Ben, my dad's doing fine. Oscorp is never better. My brother... well he's my brother. He is what he is."
"I heard what happened down at the plant. Send your dad my condolences sweetheart."
"Thanks, Ben. It's tough, but we Osborn's are no strangers to tragedy."
"Y/N?" Peter called for me as he ran down the stairs and approached me wearing his signature grey hoodie and jeans. "I'll see you guys in a bit." he waved towards Ben and May.
"Hold on, wait a minute Pete. I'll drive you two there buddy." Ben got up from his seat.
"Oh no, Y/N and I will take the train."
"No, no I need the exercise c'mon go go go" Ben grabbed his jacket and hurried us along to his car. Peter sat shotgun, leaving me at the backseat. I giggled due to how Ben was such a sweetheart, but Peter was unamused. The journey to the library was mostly in silence, other than a few questions about how classes were going. I didn't mind though, I was mostly focused on how Peter's gonna perform today. After a couple more minutes, we arrived in front of the library.
"Thanks, for the ride Uncle Ben." Peter was about to get up but Ben stopped.
"Now hold on a sec, Pete. I gotta talk to ya. Y/N, if you don't mind?" I nodded and exited as I waited on the sidewalk admiring the busy street as Ben and Peter have a family talk. Not really my business. I waited a couple more seconds until Peter finally got out of the car, slamming the door in frustration. Ooh boy, must be one of those talks, huh?
"Peter?" I questioned.
"It's nothing, Y/N. Let's go." He then held my hand and led me to the show building once Ben's car was out of view.
At the show
Peter and I went up the metal stairs, still hand in hand, as the audience cheers progressively get louder. In the middle of the ring were two bulky men, one wearing black gear, the other was camouflaged. The guy in black elbow dropped his opponent to become the victor as the crowd cheered his name, Bonesaw.
"I may have made a mistake." Peter whispered.
"Aw c'mon. You'll beat him, trust me." I nudged him.
"Ladies and Gentleman, give it up for Bonesaw McGraw!" the announcer wearing a yellow tux said. "For $3000 is there no one here man enough to stay in the ring for three minutes with this titan of testosterone?"
"Pete, you should probably get backstage and sign up." I gave his hand a tight squeeze, "Good luck, Petey" He nodded and went backstage, leaving me to find an empty seat 3 rows from the ring next to a man wearing a jean jacket and a woman wearing tattered clothes. It's clear I don't belong here, but I'm here for Peter. If it makes him feel better, that's what I'll do. "Gosh, I'm so nervous." I accidentally said out loud, causing the man next to me to just stare in confusion.
"Who!? I know who... The Flying Dutchman!" the announcer introduced a man in colourful ring gear wearing a mask. The crowd started booing out of nowhere.
"Who is that guy?" I asked the woman next to me.
"Leave me alone." was all she said. Well I'll be! New Yorkers are so rude! The Flying Dutchman came running down the ring, and was instantly tossed out of the ring by Bonesaw onto a wooden table, breaking the table and his legs in the process. He screamed in pain, and it was horrible to hear. Maybe I am making a mistake by forcing Peter to join. I'm such an idiot.
"Are you ready for more?" The announcer exclaimed.
"Bonesaw is ready!" Bonesaw took the mic.
"Will the next victim please enter the arena at this time? If he can withstand just three minutes in the cage with Bone Saw McGraw the sum of $3000 will be paid to.." the announcer went to the entrance and paused as he began talking to someone behind the sheets. "The sum of $3000 will be paid to the terrifying, the deadly the amazing Spider-Man!" The curtains then revealed Peter wearing a red spider long sleeve, blue sweats and red ski mask. Everyone started booing and throwing popcorn at him, but I just cheered anyways.
"WOO! LET'S GO SPIDER-MAN!" I cheered for my friend, causing the people next to me to look at me weirdly. "What are you looking at?". As Peter made his way to the ring, the crowd started chanting "Kill". Jeez, wrestling fans are so violent for no reason! Once Peter entered the ring, a cage started lowering down on the ring.
"CAGE!" a fan announced. What the hell? Why does Peter get the cage match? That's so unfair! The ringside staff then locked it, and my worries increased for the boy inside the cage. This was all my fault, wasn't it?
"Peter, you got this." I still whispered, hoping that he won't break anything. The bell then rang and Bonesaw charged at Peter, only for Peter to jump above him and hold the higher bars. After exchanging a few words, Bonesaw jumped but Peter flipped and descended back down. Bonesaw then charged again, but Peter then shot webs to dodge again. Oh sure, just reveal to everyone that you have supernatural abilities. Good job, Peter. Bonesaw then was given a metal chair from one of the ringside girls and hit Peter in the head.
"PETER!" I accidentally yelled, causing me to cover my mouth as I accidentally gave away his name. Bonesaw continued his assault, and I flinched everytime I could hear the metal crashing on flesh. Bonesaw then grabbed Peter, and with incredible strength, he flung him around and threw him onto the metal bars of the cage. The girls then gave bonesaw a crowbar to use, as if a chair wasn't enough.
"Oh my god." I said in a worried tone. However, as Bonesaw was about to hit a downed Peter, Peter kicked his gut and face a few times, before sending Bonesaw flying and getting hit in the back by the cage. Just like that, Peter knocked Bonesaw out! In two minutes! He did it!
"YES! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!!!!" I exclaimed as the crowd cheered for him. The cage opened, and Peter ran straight towards where I was as I descended down the steps near the ring.
"I did it!" He was so happy, and seeing him this happy was all I ever wanted.
"You did! You were amazing!" I gave him a really tight hug. "Dude, you just won yourself $3000! What did I say, huh?"
"Gotta say, Y/N, it feels good. Listen, I gotta head down backstage and collect my money. Wait outside for me, okay?"
"You got it, Spider-Man." I then shot him so finger guns before he took the elevator down.
Some time later...
I waited near the main lobby area, waiting for Peter. The adrenaline never left my system, I'm still so elated over Peter's victory! I knew it was wrong of me to doubt him.
"STOP!" a police officer yelled as I saw a blonde man in dark clothes run out the building with a bag. I saw the gun in his hand and so I moved away from the entrance from where I waited, giving him an exit. Two officers ran after him, while one Caucasian moustached officer came up to me.
"You were the only person in his way, we could have had him! He just stole some money!" The officer ridiculed me.
"Hey, he had a gun! What am I gonna do?" I sassed back. The officer merely looked before exiting the building as well. Whatever, robberies happen everyday in New York. Not my problem. Just then, Peter emerged from the elevator wearing his normal clothes, looking angry.
"I got scammed, Y/N. They only gave me 100 'cause I pinned him in 2 instead of 3!" he complained.
"What!? You're the only one to beat him, and they gave you 100!? That's absurd!" I understood him.
"Whatever. Uncle Ben's waiting for us in the library. Let's just get out of here."
