Peter quickly shot his webs and swung from lamp pole to lamp pole. It was the middle of the night and there were two hostage situations going on at two banks in town. The problem was that these guys and girls were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had recently been let off and were looking for revenge. This was already tough enough but he couldn't be in two places at once. He could only hope that he would have enough time to save the hostages at both locations, or maybe Iron Man would go and help the others.
He arrived at the bank and snuck inside, not wanting to trigger the ex-agents to shoot the hostages. He made his way inside and then using his webs, shot all of the guns out of their hands. Once the guns were gone the hostages fled out of the building and the agents started attacking Peter. They got a few good hits on him, and the battle was pretty tough because these guys had skills but eventually Peter took them down. His eyes widened however when he saw one was talking to someone over a comms unit. "Kill 'em." He says with a smirk.
"No!" Peter shouts. Suddenly the ex-agent's smirk fades. He turns and hears one of the reporters talking. "Karen turn on my enhanced hearing to listen in on the reporters."
"Sure thing Peter." She says and turns it on. Peter listens in.
"Tragedy was avoided tonight in Queens when our local hero Spiderman came and saved a crowded bank where people were being held hostage by ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Unfortunately two of these situations were going on at the same time, and it looks like Spiderman can't be in two places at once." If only that reporter knew how many times he wished he could be. "Thankfully it seems like a new hero has chosen this moment to come out of the shadows and is currently handling the other situation and saving countless lives as well."
"Oh my God! There's a new hero! I've got to meet them! Karen can you direct me to the other bank please!" Peter begs and happily bounces on his feet.
"Of course Peter." She says and plots a course for him to go to the other bank to meet this new hero.
The ex-agents all stood around with their guns pointing at the hostages threatening to shoot. None of them noticed you, wearing knee-high red boots and a strapless red plastic chest plate with a dragonfly emblem on it and a blue skirt (Basically the Wonder Woman armor but not metal. I just love that armor so much I want all you readers to be able picturing yourselves wearing it!), and a red dragonfly shaped mask, with two holes for the eyes that were covered in netting, and your h/c hair pulled into a high pony tail, and you pulled out a sword from the scabbard at your hip and suddenly disappeared, taking out an agent, disarming him and sending him flying into the wall. Peter jumped down on top of the bank and snuck in, careful not to make too much noise. His eyes widened in surprise.
"Whoa, what was that?" He asks himself.
All the other agents were alerted that someone else was present and all pointed their guns around the room. Suddenly, one by one they all got attacked, until only one was left standing. Suddenly he gasped as he was grasped around his chest and hoisted into the air.
"Put me down you flying freak!" He yells at you.
"Alright if you say so." You tell him and let him go, falling to the floor. A fall from that height wasn't enough to kill him, but he was pretty injured.
"Ooo." Peter winced. "That looks like it hurt."
You landed on the ground and some bad guys came at you. You took one down with a roundhouse kick and flipped the other one over her shoulder before doing a backflip over two other agents, disarming them both with her sword as she was in the air, her wings fluttering to keep her afloat. In an instant you became a flash and flew back towards them, flipping them both over.
"Wow..." Peter said breathlessly. "She's amazing. Karen can you do a facial recognition thing to find out who she is?"
"I am unable to do so Peter, her mask is not allowing me to identify her, and what features are visible, such as her skin and hair color, could fit thousands of women in New York City." Karen explains.
"Aw. Alright." Peter says and pouts under his mask, but his attention was immediately drawn back to the battle as two agents grabbed guns and started firing at you. You used her sword to deflect the bullets and then you sliced both guns in half with your sword. Peter's jaw was hanging. "She's so badass..."
You jumped up and flew towards a sniper on the second floor balcony and kicked him, hooking your sword onto the grip on his machine gun and pulled it away from him. You then looked down and noticed someone who was reaching for their gun. You swooped down and ripped the desk out of the floor, raising it above your head and the agent screamed and backed away as you tossed the desk at him, knocking him out. That was all of them. Then you noticed a web shoot down and splatter next to you.
"Shit I didn't mean to do that!" Peter exclaims quietly and quickly tries to wipe some of the sticky fluid from his hand.
You look up to the vent and hear rattling around in there but decide to ignore it and fly out the front door instead. Instantly you're blinded by the flashing lights of the cameras as you hover about three feet off the ground. Luckily the mask covering your face helped block some of the light. The reporters were asking for your name and if you were an Avenger.
"I'm no Avenger, but I will fight to protect the innocent." You say. "You can call me Dragonfly." You say and fly off into the night in a flash.
Once you were far enough away you slowed down and landed on top of a building where you could walk for a bit. You heard someone swinging behind you and smirked, knowing fairly well who that was.
"Hey wait up!" The Spiderman calls after you and runs up to you. You stop walking and turn to face him as he catches up. "I really liked what you did back there." He says in a breathless tone.
"I know. I saw your erm...reaction." You say and look down then back up at him. He seems confused.
"What are you talking about?" He asks.
"Well let's just say that's the first time someone's ever gotten off to me so while I'm somewhat flattered I'm also a bit creeped out so I'm going to go-"
"Oh God no!" Peter says quickly and grabs your hand. "I wasn't jacking off to your fighting I swear that was just a web shooter malfunction! I mean you're gorgeous and all and in a different situation you would totally get me hard-but ugh I am really bad at talking to girls!"
"Yeah you really are." You say and kick him off, sending him flying back into the building. "And you're really starting to creep me out so-"
"Wait just let me start over!" He says and shoots his web at the building across from you and swings back over to you. "You're a new hero and you're clearly very powerful, so there's some things I want to know about you."
"Like what?" You ask.
"Well first and most important...who do you fight for?" He asks.
"For those who are not strong enough to fight for themselves." You answer. "I defend the innocent, and try to help those who are helpless."
"Wow. Great answer!" Peter says, his robotic eyes widening.
"I saw you during the Civil War on youtube, and again when you caught the guy who had been making those dangerous weapons. You're friends with Iron Man aren't you?"
"Well kind of. He's sort of my mentor. He's super awesome, he even gave me this suit!" Peter says excitedly. "You know I noticed that you don't really seem to have any high tech gear on you, aside from your wings. Hey are those machines by the way-ow!" He yelps as you hit his hand as he was trying to reach out and touch one of your wings.
"They're not machines, they're a body part." You tell him. "And I don't need guns, lasers, or even the ability to shoot webs from my penis."
"It's not from my dick I have web shooters see!" He holds up his hands and shows you the buttons on his hands. "Why did we go back to that? Do you think I'm hot or something?" He asks, leaning on an AC unit and trying to look seductive.
"You're okay." You tell him, smirking a bit yourself. "But I don't need all of this fancy technology to defeat evil. I prefer to do things the old fashioned way." You say and look down at your sword.
"Yeah but imagine how much better you'd be at fighting if you had a suit and a few gadgets to-" Peter starts but you cut him off.
"And allow myself to become a slave to Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D?" You say and scoff. "I've been owned before, and I don't plan on letting myself fall into that trap again."
"Whoa what do you mean, were you experimented on or something?" Peter asks, sounding concerned for you. It made your heart jump a bit.
"No, but I don't want to talk about it." You tell him.
"You know, what you said earlier, it sounds like you don't exactly agree with Tony." Peter says and takes a few steps towards him.
"No. I don't. If I had wanted to get involved in that Civil War I would have chosen the Captain's side." You tell him. "And I'm well aware of what side you were on."
"But you know what will happen to you if you don't follow those rules." Peter says. "I'd hate to see such a great hero get locked away." You smile at him.
"They'd have to catch me first." You start to hover again, preparing to fly away. "No one is going to tell me what to do. If the world is in trouble and I can help, I'm going to do it. I don't need to wait for anyone's permission."
"Trust me I know how that feels." Peter says and you regard him curiously. "Go, be yourself, but just be careful okay?" He asks and you smile at him.
"I will. Thank you." You tell him and fly away super fast so he can't follow you.
"Wow." Peter says and another web shoots out from his hand. "Dammit! I really need to get this thing fixed!"
The next day at school Ned and Peter were walking down the hall, talking about something in a low whisper to each other.
"So you met that dragonfly girl last night?" Ned asks and Peter nods.
"Yeah. She's so badass, but I'm also a bit worried about her." Peter says.
"Why? You've seen her fight, clearly she can hold her own-" Peter cuts off Ned.
"Yeah, yeah I know Ned but it's more than that. She's kind of a rogue hero. She doesn't want to be an Avenger, or even affiliated with SHIELD." Peter tells him.
"But wait doesn't she have to be now that the Accords are in place?" Ned asks.
"I don't know. I mean I didn't sign anything and I had a bit of a rogue phase with Vulture and they didn't lock me up but what if she tries to fight SHIELD or something? I'd just hate to think of something bad happening to someone who just wants to help people." Peter says and Ned nods.
Suddenly Michelle comes running up behind them and throws her arms around both boys' shoulders.
"Hey guys!" She says and they both nearly fall over.
"Whoa MJ why are you so happy today?" Peter asks, shocked by his friend's sudden change in personality.
"I am? Didn't notice." She says and shrugs. "But I am excited for once in this school because my childhood bestie just moved to Queens and her first day is today!"
"Oh that's great! I can't wait to meet her!" Ned says. "What's she like?"
"She's extremely shy." Michelle stresses. "Like she'll flinch if anyone walks to close to her. And she always covers herself up. She practically always wears turtlenecks. She's a good girl though. Always follows the rules, always does her work."
"Sounds boring." Peter says and Michelle hits his arm.
"Hey be nice, she's already scared enough of boys as it is, I don't need you two dweebs making fun of her and scaring her off." She says.
"MJ!" A girl calls from behind them down the hall. Michelle's face lights up.
"Oh my God it's her!" She says and the three of them turn to the voice and MJ's smile falls and her jaw drops, as well as Ned's and Peter's eyes go wide as they spot someone who definitely didn't fit Michelle's description of her childhood friend.
It seems like everything is in slow motion as you walk down the hallway confidently, not flinching as people pass you by. In fact, they were all gawking at you too and clearing a path for you to make your way down to your old friend. Michelle was dumbfounded. You had always been cowering and trying to hide in your turtleneck sweater, but now you wore a flattering lavender button up tank top and short shorts, and your hair that was normally always tied up somehow was now loose and free and you ran up to her and hugged her tight.
"I missed you so much how have you been!" You ask her and smile.
"I-I've been great but whoa what happened to you?!" She asks and you laugh.
"Yeah I know I'm not trying to curl into a ball and hide anymore." You tell her and laugh. "I've changed... a lot since you last saw me." You tell her and your smile falls a bit briefly but you put it on again for her. "So who are your friends?"
"O-oh right my friends!" Michelle stutters, snapping out of her trance. "This is Ned." She gestures to him and he waves a bit.
"H-hi." He says softly and you smile at him.
"Hey it's nice to meet you." You tell him.
"And this is Peter." She says and you look at Peter and smile.
"Hey." He manages to choke out and you smile at him then notice him staring at you curiously.
"What are you looking at?" You ask him and he snaps out of it.
"Nothing it's just, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before." He says and you look confused.
"You sure? Because I don't think I've met you anywhere before." You say and look at him funny. "My name's Y/N by the way." You tell both of the boys. The bell rang. "We should probably get to class, can I sit with you guys at lunch?"
"Yes!" Both of the boys said instantly before Michelle could say anything.
"Of course you can." She tells you and then wraps an arm around your shoulder. "Come on Y/n/N (Your nickname). I'll get you away from these gaping guppies over here." She says and leads you away.
"I don't mind." You say once the boys are out of earshot. "One of them's kind of cute." You admit and Michelle looks shocked but then you hit her shoulder playfully. "Don't worry I'm not falling in love with your friends I just met them." You tell her and laugh. "What do I look like to you, a Disney Princess?"
"Well you are a lot different now. What happened?" She asks. "And be honest." You look down and then back up at her.
"Nothing much. You knew I was in a bad situation at home when we were kids." You tell her. "Something happened, I got away and once I did I realized I didn't have to be so scared anymore." You tell her and she smiles and hugs you.
"I am so proud of you." She says and you smile and hug her back. "I'll see you at lunch." She says and you both part ways as you go into your classroom.
You sat with your new friends at lunch and they asked you a lot of questions about your interests.
"You're a fencer?" Ned asks and you nod. "So you like fight with swords and stuff?" He asks and Peter's eyes widened again.
"Yeah. I'm pretty good at it." You tell him.
"We have a fencing team here. You should totally join." Ned says.
"Okay. I'll consider it, if I have the time." You tell him and Peter looked a bit more freaked out.
"Why wouldn't you have the time?" Michelle asks.
"Well you know me, busy bee with all the studying." You say and laugh. "That part of me hasn't changed. And since your school seems pretty tough with all of the technology students I'll really have to step up my game it seems." You say and look at all the drones flying around and other robotic stuff.
"Pretty cool right?" Peter asks, thinking of a little question he wanted to test out on you. You looked pretty similar to the girl he met last night, and sounded similar too. And when he heard that you liked sword fighting, he started to think that you might be the Dragonfly.
"It is actually!" You say and smile at the technology.
Peter's smile fell. If you were Dragonfly you would hate this tech. Oh well. MJ's friend must be some other h/c, s/c girl who just happened to have the same physique as her. That and you were way too cheery and playful to be her. Dragonfly seemed more serious and cold to him. Also how would you be able to hide your wings under a tank top if you were her? It had to be someone else.
"I hope I can build something cool while I'm here!" You say.
"Peter could help you out with that." Michelle says.
"Really?" You ask hopefully and turn to him. "Can you?"
"Y-yeah I'm sure I can." Peter says. "If you ever need help on an assignment just let me know I'd be happy to help you." He smiles.
"Thank you so much!" You tell him and throw your arms around him and give him a tight hug.
Then you hear someone whistle and you both turn to the source and find someone gaining the attention of everyone in the cafeteria.
"Yo check out penis Parker!" Flash calls out and all the kids laugh. "Him and his lame friends must have brainwashed that hot chick into hanging out with them! Hey honey if you want to have a good time, come over here. Here's where the fun's at!" He calls out to you. "You know I'm right penis Parker!" He calls out and laughs at him. Peter sighed and looked down, about to apologize to you about Flash then gasped when he saw you standing up on the cafeteria table. His two friends looked shocked as well.
"What I want to know is why you're so obsessed with his dick!" You called out and the whole cafeteria flipped out in praise of your awesome comeback. "Is there something you want to confess Flash!" You call out to him and he tries to regain his cool.
"No! I've never seen his tiny dick before!" Flash stabs back at him.
"Yeah but your mom did last night!" Peter calls back to him and everyone flips out again.
"Nice one!" You tell him and high five him. MJ and Ned do too to all of you as Flash strides over to Peter and grabs his shirt collar and hoists him up.
"That's it you're dead Parker." Flash says. "After school at the football field, I'm giving you the beat down you deserve." He says and pushes Peter back into his seat. "I hope you come and see too doll face." He tells you. "Then you'll see what a real man looks like."
"Oh great!" You say and smile. "Is there one you can point out to me?" More cheers erupt from the cafeteria as Flash storms out. "I'm sorry." You tell Peter and sit back down next to him.
"For what you were awesome! I think you might have just boosted our popularity!" Peter says and you laugh.
"I know but if I hadn't stood up for you, you wouldn't have to fight Flash." You tell him.
"Don't worry about it. It'll be fine." He tells you and gives you a cheerful smile.
"We'll come too." Ned says and MJ nods.
"Yeah. I'll punch his lights out if he hurts you too bad." She says.
"Thanks guys." Peter says. The bell rang. "Well I'd better enjoy my last two hours of life." He gets up to go to class.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" You ask him.
"I'll be fine." He tells you. His heart warmed at you being so concerned for him.
