Spider-Man 0X

Ch: 16 [Tingling]

Ch: 16 [Tingling]

After breakfast, MJ and I decided to go for a walk. The government workers were busy clearing the roads. I wore a black hoodie and blue jeans while MJ wore a red winter coat and white pants. "It's freezing cold..." She hugged herself shivering a little. "So, any plans for this Christmas?" She asked me casually.

"Nothing much, probably hanging around or something," I shrugged my shoulders. "What about you?" I asked her back.

She looked away sighing, "Same old shitty life... Probably gonna stay at Gwen's place this Christmas..." She replied gloomily. "I wish my life was better..." She mumbled to herself.

"Hey cheer up..." I nudged her. "I am sure your life will get better..." I assured her.

She just chuckled, "I hope you are right, Peter..." She smiled a little. We walked for some more time enjoying each other's company until we reached the park. The kids were playing in the snow happily laughing and running around. It reminded me of the time when 'Peter' was a kid, he used to play with Uncle Ben and Aunt May... Those were good days...

"Hey, wanna make a snowman?" I pointed towards the snow-covered ground.

She smirked looking at me, "Really now?"

"Come on, it will be fun..." I insisted. "Besides, it's not like you got anything better to do... So..."

She thought for a moment before smiling, "Why not..." We both sat down in the snow starting to make a snowman. She gathered the snow forming a ball while I tried making another one. We made three balls and stacked them on top of each other forming a snowman.

"It looks horrible..." MJ said looking at the snowman.

"Hey, don't say that... This just needs a little extra touch," I defended our creation. I grabbed two twigs placing them as the arms of the snowman while she placed stones as the eyes and nose.

"There... Now it doesn't look bad..." She commented standing next to me admiring our work. "Although, it still needs something..." She suggested.

"Like what?" I asked her raising an eyebrow.

"Like this..." She grabbed some snow throwing it at me.

I dodged the snowball smirking, "Oh, so that's how we are doing it?" I picked up some snow forming a ball throwing it at her. She blocked the incoming snowball using her hand before gathering more snow. "You can never win against me..." I taunted her dodging another snowball.

"We'll see about that!" She threw another snowball hitting me on my shoulder. We both kept throwing snowballs at each other dodging most of the attacks. At first, I let her hit me few times but soon I stopped holding back and started dodging every attack effortlessly.

"You missed..." I dodged another snowball throwing one myself and hitting her in her face. "See? Told you, you can't beat me..." I teased her.

"Shut up!" She shouted throwing a snowball aiming at my face. Unfortunately for her, I ducked dodging the attack. She growled in frustration throwing more snowballs at me which I dodged easily. Soon enough I ran out of snowballs.

"Time out..." I raised my hands signaling surrender.

"Oh, no, you don't," She said throwing a snowball aiming at my chest. I jumped on my left, ducking behind the bench dodging the attack.

"MJ, come on... Let's stop..." I peeked from the bench dodging another snowball.

"Nope..." She shook her head throwing another snowball. "Not until I hit you..."

"Fine..." I sighed jumping over the bench, dodging another snowball. She formed another snowball throwing it at me. This time instead of dodging, I rolled on the ground, taking a handful of snow, aiming it at her. She gasped covering her face, blocking my attack.

"Gotcha..." I smirked proudly standing up.

"That's not fair. How are you dodging all my attacks?" She complained folding her hands.

"Because I am just too good..." I boasted striking a pose.

Swoosh! A snowball hit my face. I rubbed my face wiping the snow off my face, glaring at MJ who stood there grinning.

"What happened Parker? Too good huh?" She mocked me.

"Oh, it's on..."

We played for hours, lost in time, like kids again. After hours of playing around we both lay exhausted on the snowy ground catching our breath. "I had a lot of fun today..." MJ turned her head facing me. "Thank you, Peter..." I am glad to see her smiling. Hope this takes some of her worries away for now. Besides, I had fun too. Running and laughing without any worries...

"Anytime MJ..." I smiled back. "Wanna grab a bite?" I sat up patting snow off my clothes.

"Sure..." She sat up dusting off the snow from her clothes. We both headed towards the café grabbing some coffee and muffins.

"I still remember when we were kids... We used to build snowmen, have snow fights..." MJ reminisced taking a sip from her coffee.

"Yeah... Good times..." I nodded sipping my own coffee.

"Now that I am here right now, talking to you... I realize how much things changed... Sometimes I wish those days would return..." She sighed putting her cup on the table. "But the best thing right now is the new Peter before me."

"Oh, you like the new me, huh?" I wiggled my eyebrows earning a chuckle from her.

"Shut up..." She rolled her eyes taking another sip from her coffee.

After having coffee, we both walked outside and headed back to my house.

Huh?! What the fuck is this feeling? This weird tingling sensation around my body... Something bad is going to happen... I stopped walking scanning my surroundings carefully. MJ noticed my actions and stopped walking, looking at me curiously. "Peter, what's wrong?" She asked me worriedly. I can barely hear what she's saying. All my senses are telling me to run. Something dangerous is going to happen... I grabbed MJ pulling her into a nearby alley.

"Wha—" Before she could ask me, I put my finger on her lips silencing her.

Five bikes stopped near the cafe where we were previously sitting. Five masked men wearing leather jackets jumped off the bikes drawing their guns. They stormed inside the cafe firing their guns randomly. People screamed panicking, trying to run away from the shooters. These fuckers! With the snow and slippery roads, the police will never reach here in time.

Fuck it! I can't just stand here doing nothing. But, I just got my powers yesterday... Can I really fight these guys? No choice... I need to act now! But I can't leave just like that with MJ with me.

"Peter!" She whispered tugging my sleeve, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"This is dangerous. We should leave," I grabbed her arm and dashed.

"Wait, what about those people?! We should call the cops," She questioned me pulling her arm back.

I took out my phone and dialed 911 informing them about the shooting. "I called the cops, they will handle them..." I assured her grabbing her arm again. "They got guns and God knows what. We can't deal with them..."

After running to a safe distance, we stopped, catching our breath. "Are you ok MJ?" I asked her panting.

"Yeah, I am fine..." She panted leaning against the wall.

"Where is it?" I put my hand in my back pocket, pretending to search for something. "Shit!"

"What?" She looked at me confused.

"My wallet... It must've fallen somewhere..." I pretended to look worried.

"You ain't going there, are you?" She narrowed her eyes folding her arms.

"Don't worry MJ, I will be back in a second..." I gave her a thumbs up turning around.

"No way in hell!" She grabbed my arm stopping me. "We don't even know how many of them are there! We only saw five of them entering the cafe, what if there are more outside, keeping an eye around?"

"Just stay here. I will be back in a sec... I promise, I will turn back immediately if I spot someone..." I assured her letting go of her hand.

"Pete—" Before she could finish I ran.

"Sorry..." I gave her an apologetic smile sprinting towards the cafe. I can't wait to put my power to the test. I am gonna slice them up like butter.
