Chpt 6 ~ We cant fall yet

I arrived in Times Square in my universe.

Thank god I had my mask on.

I looked around, everything seemed perfectly fine. Place was crowded as always.

"Spider-Woman! Can we get a selfie?!" A group of girls came up to me all giddy and jumpy.

"Uh not right now babe I got places to be!" I said in the most polite way as I swung away.

I started swinging through the city, making sure everything was in check. Seemed fine.
I swung down to Brooklyn.
Spidey senses told me to head over there.
Not sure why.
When I got there I sat on top of a lamp post. Searched for a threat but there was none.
I jumped down from the lamppost and walked around the dark streets of Brooklyn Brownsville.
"This is such a waste.. No one's even here. My Spidey senses must be fucked up" I said to myself as I walked down the street.

"That they are my love" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I stopped dead in my tracks and without even turning around I knew who it was.

"What do you want Electro"

"I know you missed me"

"Not a fucking chance" I said turning around to face him.

He walked up towards me and lifted my chin.

"Not even a little bit?" He said. The raspy voice threw me off completely.

"You been smoking or something?" I asked fanning my nose like he stank.

He threw a little shock at me making me stumble back a bit as he groaned.

"As I become stronger my voice becomes slightly deeper.. not my cup of tea but as long as I'm able to defeat you spider-woman."

"Yea right" I said as I shot a web at him webbing him up and spinning him around "in your dreams"  I said dropping him on the ground.

Electro smirked and charged up his powers before breaking free from the webs. I took a step back shocked. I was so shocked I froze, he made it seem so easy. I swung back up and on top of the lamppost and he followed me as he rose up and tried to strike me with his electricity shock I dodged with a backflip off the lamppost and pulled myself up onto the top of a building.

"This fight won't be so easy for you." He said with a evil laugh.

He put an arm out towards a lamppost and it seemed to connect him to all the electricity on the block.

"Electro, give up now!" I yelled as I jumped down from the building and attacked him from behind punching him and then doing a backflip off of him.

"Not a chance." He said throwing another shock at me and missing as I swung the other way.

As I swung I accidentally attached my web to a lamppost. One of the lamppost that electro was connected to. Oh how I regretted it immediately. The shock was so intense I let go of my web immediately and hit floor. Real hard. I jumped back up in pain holding my side.
I heard electro laugh and he ran towards me. I shot my web to a building and tried to pull myself up. Electro caught up just in time grabbing my leg and pulling me back down to throw a punch to my face and hit me with his electricity bolt in my hip.

I fell on my back but I sat back up immediately.
"Elect-" I couldn't even finish. The pain was unbearable. It was nothing like getting electrocuted by an outlet it was way worse, I felt like I was being shocked by lightning.
Electro threw another punch at my rib cage and then my jaw.

"Learn to stay away from a city that ain't yours." He said as he threw another punch.

"The city-" I felt weak.

I kicked him in the stomach but it didn't seem to phase him. I was weak, too weak to even fight back.

Electro put a hand on my chest.

"Ready for the big finale?"

He started the charge up all his electricity into my chest. I yelled in pain, I screamed and shut my eyes tight trying to get him off me as he laughed at me. I brought my hand up clenched it into a fist and punched him right in the cheekbone which pushed him off me. I tried my best to stand back up. And when I did he was furious. Electro ran towards me and punched me but I blocked the punch. I was still weak but I couldn't fall yet.

He let out a grunt and flew upwards into the sky and got more electricity from the buildings and lampposts. If this went on any longer he would cause a power outage. I had to stop him. But how? I was too damn weak. 

But I had an idea

I swung up to the top of a building and jumped on top of him webbing up his face so he couldn't see and down he went. I jumped back up on. Build and amused it to swing kick him down. I watched him fall from the high ground back on his ass struggling to remove my webs from his face. I swung back to the top of the building as I held my waist in pain. I could still feel the electricity flowing through me.

My chest was burned my suit was burnt through, you could see my skin all burnt inside. Electro practically cooked me alive.
I jumped down from the building and stood beside electro on the ground.
"We wait for the cops now" I said to him as I webbed him to the ground.

"NO! NO I WILL NOT GO BACK!"

I webbed him a few more times just to make sure he would stay down as I contacted the police force.

What I found to be a little scary is how I left more damaged than him

After the police came and took care of that I went and swung over to queens. Everything was good and in place i even met some dude, he was tall skinny, wearing a baseball kind of cap. He waved to me. "Sup?" I said to him.
"Fighting crime so late?"
I smiled (not that he could see it)
"Yea i am" i chuckled "what are you doing out so late?"
"Waiting for the pizza guy"
"Awww gotta love that pizza" i chuckled "lemme get a slice"
He stared at me remaining silent for several seconds before saying "No" then walking away.
"Didn't get your name!"
"DIDNT GET YOURS EITHER!"
"Spider-Woman"
"Devante Prince"
Guy sure did give a chill vibe, maybe I'll find the dude again. I laughed off the encounter and continued my way back to Manhattan. Made my way towards Harlem hoping to not find any crime in the area as I was already tired from electro.

I swung around Harlem and then landing on the side walk as I watched a man following a young girl. She looked to be about 16 maybe 17. The man, following from a distance, had to be above his 40s. He looked old enough to be her father.
I followed behind the man climbing onto a building to take higher ground so that he wouldn't see me.

I followed them jumping from building to building and the girl seemed to not have a clue who was behind her as she had her headphones in and did not look back once.

The man walked with a purpose, he had both hands in his pockets. It looked like he was speeding up. My Spidey senses tingled, the man was too close to the girl just 4 feet away from her before pulling his hand out his pocket and grabbing the girls hair I shot my web at his weapon to take it out his hand but the man still managed to grab the girl. The girl screamed in fear as she tried to fight back.

I jumped down from the building I was on. I jumped down in front of the man swinging off the lamppost to perform a swing kick to his face and he let go of the girl immediately stumbling back and hitting the buildings brick wall and then the girl hugged me.

"Oh-"

"Thank you Spider-Woman!"

"Yea no problem" I said as one arm hugged her back and the other webbed the man to the wall so he wouldn't get away.

"You alright?" I said

"Yes! Yes I'm great! Thank you! I thought that was it for me!"

"What's your name?"

"Alicia"

"Alicia-" I repeated "you can't be walking out so late at night like this, you gotta be more cautious of your surroundings, especially at your age."

"I know I know I just wanted to listen to some music on my way home, silent walks can be so boring.."

"Well it's always good to have one ear open when listening to music, especially when it's late at night"

"Of course, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you again" she said as she was about to walk off.

"Hold on Alicia, let me take care of this and I'll walk you home."

"Really?"

"Yea of course"

"Thank you so much"

Although I was still a little in pain and I wanted to go home, I wanted to make sure Alicia was safe, I contacted the police and then walked her home. It wasn't too long of walk as we got to talk about how she'd be moving soon and what she planned to do when she got out of New York.
When we arrived to her building she gave me a hug again thanking me one last time and I  hugged her back.

She went inside and I let out a sigh as I shot my web up and jumped onto the top of a building.
I need to rest after that electro fight I can only feel myself getting weaker.

I sighed and figured it was time to go back to Hobie. 

I walked down an alleyway to the back of a building and opened a portal back to Hobie's dimension.

I was back.

I swung over to his place and knocked on his window feeling like I was about to collapse any second now.

Thank fully he opened the window quickly.

"Holy shit-" he said worriedly as I collapsed into his arms.
