Being On Time Is Not My Strong Suit…

Have you ever tried web swinging after being fucked so hard you pass out? No? I guess that makes sense… it’s really fucking hard! Not only was every nerve ending in my body firing off like the Fourth of July, but I felt so weak I could barely hold on to the web I was swinging on. If it wasn’t for my stick’em powers I probably would have gone splat a couple times at this point.

But still, all the swinging in the world couldn’t make up for the hour late I was to meeting up with Dr Conners… God I’m such an idiot. Why did I think fighting some giant Rhino bitch would be a good idea when I’m on a time limit? Even my spider-senses were telling me to run! Still… I knew the cops couldn’t handle it on their own.

“Hi Dr Conners! Sorry I’m late. I’m a super hero who just got her brains fucked out in an abandoned building by a giant mutated Rhino.” I say to myself as I land in an alley next the coffee shop. “Do you think she’d buy that?” I grumble under my breath as I quickly change behind a dumpster in normal pedestrian clothes, shove my torn suit in my backpack, and turn the corner to the coffee shop-

Where I practically crash into Dr. Conners as she was leaving, coffee cup in one hand, her phone in the other.

“Oh! Petra my dear I’m so sorry! I didn’t even see you there!” She says with a genuine smile on her face and a tone of voice that didn’t seem to hold any anger. I was just about to speak before I saw some of the color drain from her skin and her eyes get wide.

“Oh lord! I’m so sorry we were supposed to meet today weren’t we? I’m sorry. I got a bit caught up in the lab with my wife and Gwen. We just made a huge new discovery.” She says with a smile, before finishing up whatever text or email she was writing and sending it off, before focusing more on me.

The absolute weight that was pulled off my chest almost made me pass out in pure bliss… wait, _she forgot about me??? _Before I could even speak though she started to continue as her phone buzzed again.

“Look… I have to run again so I’m gonna have to make this a bit more quick than I’d like to. Basically, I want you joining my research team.”

My heart leaped out of my chest as a huge smile grew on my face. “R-really?” I ask, raising an eyebrow slightly as my eyes grew wide.

“Absolutely!” Conners continues, her face beaming with pride as she speaks. “Your grades speak for yourself. Not to mention Gwen had given you a glowing revue. I would be a fool not to offer you the position. If you have the time.” She says with a smile, putting her hand on my shoulder and I could feel the strength of her grip even now.

At first my excitement was too much to question but… Gwen… Gwen actually put in a good word for me? After all that I’ve done? A bright red blush grew on my face and I had to look away from Dr Conners gaze as the thoughts rush through my head. It was excitement, guilt, and embarrassment all at the same time… which was the second time I felt like this today.

After a second I look back up at Conners with a confident smile on my face and nod. “That would be incredible. Thank you so much Dr. Conners.” I say, doing my best to remain calm to not let any of the emotions I was feeling come screaming out. But as I could see the beaming smile grow again on Conner’s face I couldn’t help but let out an excited little schoolgirl giggle.

“Excellent! You can come by the lab after your classes tomorrow. It’s gonna be a big day.” She says, patting my shoulder before walking past me down the sidewalk. “But I gotta run!” She screams back to me, her eyes glued on her phone. “Lots of work to be done!”

As the excitement starts to fade I’m only left with my guilt as Conners talking about Gwen repeats in my head over and over again. “I can’t believe she’d do that for me…” I whisper under my breath. I stood frozen on the sidewalk, my hands hovering above my pocket, before I let out a quick sigh.

“I gotta call her.” With that I pull out my phone in a haste, but what I saw made my heart drop. The buzz I heard wasn’t from Dr Conners phone but from mine, as I saw a text light up my home screen.

“Hey Tiger! Ya busy tonight? ;)”

She must have gotten tired of waiting for me because after a couple seconds I got another text from her, and every second of reading it made my heart do summersaults in my chest.

“I know it’s been a while, but there’s this new club downtown I wanna go to and I don’t have a date! U wanna cum? ;)”

After a couple seconds of staring at my screen in disbelief, and reminiscing on the last time me and her were together, I couldn’t stop my fingers. I knew this was a bad idea but… it’s MJ!

“Give me a time and place!”
