Clear Skies To Clear My Head

After the day I had so far most people would want to go out for a run… but I hate running. The best I have ever felt had always been while I was swinging through the skies!

22nd… 23rd… 24th… Hey there’s that falafel girl on 25th! Maybe I should make a quick pit stop?

Most of the time people see me swinging like this and think that I’m on patrol, looking for any bad guys or criminals that may be stalking our city but, honestly? If it were up to me I would not want to see any criminals right now. Sometimes a girl just wants to go on a super dangerous middle of the day swing through New York City… is that too much to ask?

After class I had done a bit of research and tried to find that video Faith posted and… it wasn’t too hard to find. Luckily she was kind enough to not attach my name to it, the last thing I needed was Aunt May trying to find my Facebook page and accidentally stumbling on it. But when I looked the video was up to about thirty thousand views… And I’m not even making a profit off of it!

Another thing running through my head though… Harriette. She was definitely having an off day, right? I mean, her little outburst this morning, and not to mention that little WWE move she pulled on Faith in class! I didn’t know she was that strong… She used to not even be able to climb the rope in gym class! Now she can drag Faith fucking Thompson to the ground? That doesn’t seem right…

“Mommy look! It’s Spider-Woman!” I heard down below, pulling me out of my head. I looked down and caught a glimpse of a little brunette girl walking down main street with her mother and I couldn’t help but smile. I gave her a quick wave and giggled with excitement as I saw her little happy dance. “Mommy! Mommy! She waved at me! No! Really! I promise! Look!” The daughter screamed excitedly as she waved again, this time with what I could only assume was her mother.

I will say… no matter how shitty Petra’s life can get, being Spider-Woman will always have its perks. Being a super-hero definitely takes the sting out of every wedgie and black eye you get from being a nerd. No matter how much I get bullied in school, I make sure to punish the real bullies twice as hard when I put on this suit. And getting those little reactions like that? Always makes my day!

I was about to start turning back to campus, but as soon as I turned down one more street something bright caught my eye, well, bright, red, and blue that is. A parade of police cars began rushing through the city streets, pushing people out the way as they rocketed in a certain direction.

“Speaking of those real bullies…” I chuckle to myself. I quickly glance up to one of the billboards to take a quick glance at the time. “I think I’m gonna be late for second period!” I chuckle as I whip back around and follow the caravan of cop cars as they rush and make very weird turns to avoid traffic. At first it was hard to keep up, but as they finally started to slow down my eyes widened as they pulled up to the side of one of the most iconic buildings in the New York City skyline.

“No. Fucking. Way.”
