Along came a new spider.
Laughter is the best medicine (As cliche as it gets)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAlex stood there in silence one day. Watching with his chocolate covered eyes beaming to the party that lay before him. He'd been invited by Pinke to attend it as it was a birthday party for the babies she took care frequently. Pound,and Pumpkin cake.
"Not the most normal names I come across...but it gets a pass for some reason." he thought to himself while smirking. Unbeknownst to him, a certain pink haired girl was also keeping an eye on him as well.
"Hiya 'Lexy! How's the party!" She exclaimed. Leaving Alex very much unprepared. Still clutching his heart, he thought to himself.
"How is she able to do that without triggering my Spider-Sense?" shaking his head briefly before looking to Pinke.
"It's going fine for me, although this party ain't for me, it's for the twins, right?" He replied the best he could.
"Of course not you silly! Your birthday is not for another two months! By the way, happy early birthday!" She said as she hugged a dumbfounded Alex.
"How did you- never mind. I'm not going to ask how you know." He said. Still trying to piece together how she figured out his birthday.
"I just looked ahead on the story and found out your birthday! It's nothing really." She said as she giggled. Leaving Alex even more confused.
"She's certainly leaving him very confused." Rainbow said to the group who happened to be watching the ordeal from afar.
"Yup, I reckon' he'll get used to it in a few days." Applejack chimed.
"Y'know that is the first time I've seen him smile since we met, she's making progress girls."Twilight said gleefully as she handed punch to her friends.
"They always did say laughter is the best medicine." Rarity said. Slightly laughing more as Alex stood there dumbfounded as he made his way to them.
"Does she always know what other people are thinking?" He asked.
"It appears so, but I wouldn't worry about it. She only uses it for parties." Twilight replied as Alex took in a sip of punch. Still wondering how Pinke was able to know his birthday.
After the party Alex walked briskly through the leaf driven sidewalk. However as he did he noticed Sarah walking across from him towards the opposite direction. As he turned to walk to were she was going, a raindrop fell to his head. Prompting him to pull up his hoodie before going further. As he did he noticed two gruff men keeping a slow pace behind her, as if they were studying her. Looking both ways Alex sprinted across the street as quickly and as quietly as he could. Before vanishing into his camouflage mode.
As Sarah crossed an alleyway, the two men jumped at the red head girl. Forcing her to the alley as she struggled to wrench free.
"You're not going anywhere little girly." One of the men said pervertedly.
"Sure, I'm sure this will definitely be the talk of the party, raping a fourteen year-old girl, that'll get you all the ladies." Sarah said as she rolled her eyes before promptly kicking him in his manhood. Causing the man to wince in pain as she kicked him to the ground. Alex's was witnessing this, mouth agape.
"Wow, she kicks ass." he thought.
After she knocked the man out, the other pulled out a small knife from his pocket. Swinging wildly at her as his blade cut only the rain. Alex then realized it was his cue. He shot a strand of webbing to another building. Swinging towards the man with a kick. Knocking the thug unconscious. His invisibility still keeping him hidden, while Sarah was looking around for the mystery man. Alex realized he had his scarf with him in his hoodie. He quickly put it on and came back into view. Shocking Sarah in the process.
"You're--you're the Spider-Man they were talking about...thanks." She said in awe.
"Don't mention it." Alex said while keeping his voice low and unrecognizable as possible.
"No. It needs mentioning, those people that say your a menace are idiots, thank you." She repeated.
He nodded before making his way as he shot another strand of webbing to a building. Unfortunately he slammed into said building before he could do anything about it.
"Son of a-" he muttered before clinging onto the building and making his way up before shooting another strand as he clumsily swinging his way to another building. As he had not practiced in some time.
"Wow" Sarah said while on the verge of laughter. "Alex needs to work on his voice if he wants to keep his identity a secret. I'll need to talk to him about it.."She said while making her way out of the ally. Smirking at Alex's blunder.
