Title: Maria "Spider" Deluca Author: BeccaBehr Disclaimer: I own nothing, sadly! “Liz why do you have to drag me to this place?” I yelled as we entered the museum of genetically enhanced spiders “Because” Liz began “this is a chance to find out about genetic creation. You know Maria what you're boyfriend is made of?” she told me in her annoying but right way “This wouldn’t happen to have anything with all the science stuff you like now would it?” I asked and she guiltily looks away “Well…” she cracked turning to look at the microscope “Aha I knew it! You just wanted to come here and play, this hasn’t got anything with the three aliens where on the run with now would it” I joke “You know it has everything to do with them they're practically our family now” she corrected “Okay Chica, but this better be worth it! Space boy hasn’t been totally nice to me lately after Billy Darden” I snapped and folded my arms. We walked round the large room of the museum and walked past a school class on an outing. There was a geeky boy trying to get a picture of some redhead pointing at some spiders. Spiders why did it have to be spiders, Liz knows they freak me out. I didn’t have to come here; I could have gone and trashed the crappy talent scout Monique’s studio for not letting me do my songs! So what if I was pissed of I was going to have spend the day with Liz ‘science boffin’ Parker! I looked into the small glass cages the new spiders where in. there was one missing! I looked around the floor to see if it was loose but I couldn’t see it. I felt something crawl up my leg and I froze. Oh my god it was in my pants! Ow oh my god it just bit me get it off! “Arrggghhhh!” I screamed and Liz ran up to me “Ria? Ria what's wrong?” she demands as she takes hold of my shoulder “Spider! Spider in my pants!” I yell I shook my leg and the spider fell out and landed on the floor. Instant reaction I stamped on it hard with my boot “Okay were not staying here!” I snapped at Liz “not even if we do find the key to are alien boyfriends existence!” and I walked out of there with Liz to follow me. By the time we got back to the Travel Inn I felt drained and so weak. My head weighed a ton and my feet where light as air. I climbed the stairs to our room and crashed down onto the bed the second I was through the door. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. My dreams were weird, spiders. Red and blue spiders crawling on electrically wiring and everything turning from white to blue and red. Then I woke up and I was back in the cheesy excuse for a hotel room, Michael was watching me, he was pretended not to be because he was trying to read a brochure he had snagged from the lobby. He gave up and tossed it onto the unit next to him “You look better” he began “when you came in you looked like hell. What happened Liz said you went to a science museum. No surprises there being Liz and all but you… Liz said you were bitten Max tried to heal you but he was blocked out. What the hell happened Maria!” he said shouting the last few words “I don't know I was bitten by this spider and now I feel great. I mean really great” I grinned girlishly “Well you sure scared the hell out of me!” he snapped as he stood and walked to the door “Hey before you go can you pass me that copy of vogue you were looking at?” I asked pointed towards the unit and a thin trail of white webbing shot out from my wrist. Michael just stared at me in disbelief “Ahhhh! Ahh Ahhhh” I whine seeing the white webbing that only freaky spiders make “I’ll go get the others…” and with that Michael was gone leaving me to face this problem by myself. I stood up and let the web loosen and I went in search of something sharp to cut the string. After five minutes of searching and finding nothing it began to snap and dissolve. I stared at it in disbelief, when it was gone I stared at my wrist where the white webbing came from; there was a white patch of silky webbing stuck on my wrist. I tried scraping it off and then shaking it off when it wouldn’t budge. Another string shot out of my wrist and I pulled on it hoping it would snap like the one before but I didn't and I got pulled towards the wall where it was joined. I crashed into the wall and put my hands up to move away. My hands were stuck to the wall! I pulled them off and put them higher to get my other hand of and before I knew it I was on the ceiling! If I hadn’t known about the little aliens running around screwing up my best friends lives this would have been weird but it wasn’t and to tell you the truth I was kind of enjoying it. Michael burst through the door with Max, Isabel, Liz and Kyle in tow. Kyle shut the door and stared at Michael “You said she was here!” he growled angrily “I almost had a date then and you drag me here to help Maria because she’s got white wire coming out of here and she isn’t here!” he roared angrily “Hey you guys I’m up here,” I said after watching the argument between my boyfriend and soon to be brother in law. The all turned towards me and Isabel fainted, Liz threw up, Max gagged, Kyle left and Michael stood there with his mouth wide open. “How on earth did you get up there?” he whispered finally “I’m not really sure but I would love to get down, being up here is playing havoc with my hair” I grinned not facing the seriousness of the situation. Michael stood on the bed and pulled me down, we landed on the bed together and I smiled naughtily at him. “Okay what’s going on?” Max asked haughtily “why have you become ms world wall crawler all of a sudden?” he demanded impatiently just as curios as I was to find out the truth. “The spider” Liz said to herself but loud enough for most of the conscious group to hear. I looked at Isabel who showed no signs of waking up anytime soon “Yeah what about it” I said as I sat up and put an arm across my lap “It bit you, it must have been one of the new ones” “What new one?” Max snapped glancing back and forth between me and Liz “The lab created a new kind of spider, one with all three of the pro-dominant senses that made it unique. The ability to jump, the ability to sense and the ability to produce web, strong web that can lift three times its own body weight plus the regular spider abilities such as being able to get up or down over anything” she said totally geeky in science boffin mode and waving one hand to explain it all. “OH” was all I said and it was all that was spoken since Liz finished her big speech on spiders. Finally Max spoke and broke the chain of silence “Is she going to turn into a spider?” he asked right in front of me and I shuddered and teared “I cant nooo I cant turn into a spider I’m a song writer I have talent people will love me for my songs and as a person! You hear that a person I’m not turning into any spider!” I shouted at our leader “I was only asking since you seem to be displaying their abilities” he spat angrily at my selfish outburst. Then I got angry that he spoke back to me, yeah he was the leader but he gave up his big title when we left Roswell; he had no right to being Mr high and might here and to me when I was upset! “OH SHUT UP!” I shouted angrily at him and waved my hand in the air and a strand of web appeared and got him on the mouth covering it up and preventing him from talking. I put my hand up by my widened mouth “Oh my god Max I didn't mean to do that to you I’m so sorry!” I gasp staring wide eyed as he pulls of the silky webbing, it didn't come off and snapped back and got him right in the face, he fell back with a muffled yell. Liz quickly ran up to him and waved a hand over the webbing and made it vanish. Max sucked in air like he had just come up from under water. He glared at me half frightened half angry that’s when I lost it completely. I got up and ran. I ran from the room, I ran from Michael, I ran from the hotel. I ran along the sidewalk till I stopped and saw the geeky boy who was taking pictures in the museum leaning against the wall in an alley. He looked at his hands then up at a spider’s web and turned and began crawling up the wall like me! I watched him reach the roof then someone grabbed me. I turned and saw Kyle staring back at me “So you ran too?” he inquired handing me some starbucks coffee. I looked back to the wall were geek boy was crawling and he was gone. I sighed with lost of not knowing who he was and how he was now like me “Yeah I ran. I put web on Max’s mouth. The big high and mighty is sorely pissed off with me so I thought I would cool it out here for a while” I told him “Really?” he beamed “thanks” it wasn’t nasty it was just so simple. We got on like Max and Isabel did, we would make a good pair us two. Soon to be brother and sister, thanks to are parents. “Listen I gotta go there’s something I gotta do” I said abruptly and dropped the coffee cup and ran off “Maria!” Kyle called after me but he didn't come after me he just staid there mulling over his coffee and brooded over the fact the him and me were to be related. He brooded alone. I got there in time to watch the geeky boy swing on the string webbing; he crashed into a billboard above the café opposite the building he had just left. He eventually got down and I was waiting for him, I walked up to him and grabbed his arm “I saw!” I said clearly but not trying to not it into a threat “Huh?” he murmured his eyes growing wide with fear “I saw you crawl up that wall and I saw you swing from the building. How did you do it?” I asked keeping me cool knowing that I was asking for trouble “I don't know what you're talking about” he lied denying everything “I know you can do it because I can do it too,” I said as he turned to walk away. He stopped with his back to me and sighed “I know all about the spider in the museum. I was there the spider bit me too the next thing I know is I’m webbing my best friends boyfriends mouth and hanging upside down from the ceiling!” I tried not to loose control but it was so easy because I was getting wound up. “What’s you're name?” he asked and finally turned and I saw he wasn’t that geeky after all he reminded me of kyle only more good looking, brown hair loosely covered his forehead and beneath the matt of brown locks peeked out two blue gorgeous eyes “Maria, Maria Deluca” I smiled and put my hand out for him to shake “Peter, Peter Parker” he replied shaking my hand rather manly “Nice to me you Pete” I chirped in a little ditty “So you must have got bitten yesterday like me because you can have been bitten after me because I killed the spider by standing on it” I said sadly “Yeah I was bit yesterday. I felt terrible and the next thing I know is that I’m beating up Flash” “Flash?” I asked as we began to walk along “A friends boyfriend” and he seemed to wander off in a daydream “Oh I see let me guess new abilities got something to do with it?” I point to his wrist as we stopped “Yeah” he grinned as we crossed the road “you seem so calm about all of this, I’m surprised you haven’t freaked out already” he said rubbing his head must have bumped it when he crashed into the billboard “Oh I’ve freaked out but I guess it’s normal to me what with the pod squad” I told loosing myself in giving out the info. Then I realised what I had done! “Pod Squad?” the corners of his mouth turned up into little creases as he waited for me to answer “Ah hell!” I snap trying to think up a lie fast enough “aliens, I’m going to become half alien soon like my best friend and my soon to be brother in law, Kyle” he laughed not believing me for a second. He looked at me and I didn't push it he just knew I wasn’t lying and his cheesy grin disappeared “Oh” he said simply “so why not aliens if we can be mutated humans” he shrugged it off “Good reaction” and we started walking through the crowds of New York. “Ahhhh!” a woman screamed and we both turned and saw a masked man robbing a small convenience store. “We’ve got to do something,” I told him I as quickly ran to cross the heavy traffic filled road. A car swerved but not quick enough. My eyes went wide, I gasped and jumped up into the air, then everything went into slow motion I moved through the air turning and landing on the hood of the car on all fours with perfect balance. I saw the robbers run and I leapt and landed on the sidewalk. I ran and I was surprised how fast I was going, I grabbed the robbers and kicked the gun out of their hands and twisted round on the ball of my heel and kicked them so they went flying into a trash can by the lamppost. Peter ran up to me and grabbed my arm “We should get out of here,” he suggested pulling me from the scene into an alley. “Can you swing, I’ve been practising but I’m not that good. We could crawl and jump” he suggested approaching the wall and jumped then crawled off. I looked at the wall where he had been and then jumped up and crawled off myself. We slowly jogged through the darkness along the pavement in a quiet area of town; it was where all the commuters lived. He stepped up the small wooden stairs of a house that was cream washed with neat-latticed windows and window boxes. I hope Space Boy and me could have window boxes one day, I thought quietly to myself. He pulled out a key and unlocked the front door “You can stay in my room for tonight, you're gonna have to meet my aunt and uncle though they're probably watching TV in the living room” he told me as he held the screen door open for me “Peter” an elderly woman with white hair neatly braided into a plat that stretched down her back turned in a white flower patterned to look at her nephew and me “Err aunt May this is Maria” he gestured to me “Hi err hello” I beamed politely “She’s a friend from school is it ok if she stays over for the night?” he asked and his uncle turned round from the chair I thought was completely empty “Now you're bringing home girls, what's gotten into you lately Peter? Starting fights and bringing home girls this isn’t like you… at all!” his uncle informed and I felt anxious and nervous all at the same time. Pete’s aunt stood and tucked a handkerchief into her silver bracelet “Have we met before because I’m sure I recognise you Maria?” she said with her hand on her cheek trying to place me. I remembered the pictures they had put out of us on the news saying we were wanted criminals. “Err I’m a song writer I probably just have one of those faces” I grinned trying to think up something quickly “Oh I know now I saw you on the news!” she exclaimed with joy at remembering “Noo I haven’t been on the news” I lied trying to get away from where this was heading “Yes you were. You were on Americas most wanted” her last few words turned into a whisper and she backed up and waved at Peter “Peter come here she’s dangerous!” she stepped forward and grabbed Pete and pulled him to her and stood watching me waiting for me to do something “Mrs Parker I’m not dangerous I’m set up Peters helping me and my friends,” I told them and she looked won over until his uncle stepped up “You’re a criminal and you will do anything to trick us. Now get out before I call the police!” the elderly man shouted at me “Uncle Ben! No!” Peter shouted “NO!” I shouted and flung up my hand at the phone uncle Ben was jogging towards. It went bang then started to melt “Oh my god!” aunt May gasped, “How on earth did you do that!” “Ah hell” I said again as the alien ness ruined my chance of a place to hide out for the night. We had been sat down in the living room for half an hour making up a fake explanation to tell to Pete’s relatives so his secret would be safe. I finished my little yarn and waited for them to react. “Okay. You helped our nephew so you can stay for the night” aunt May warned and smiled “Thank you so much, I should fix you're phone but I’m not that good this is the first sign of my powers. My mom said they would appear when I reached eighteen like her but I’m late” I lied, god I was fitting in right along Liz and the rest of the conspirators according to Max’s dad. “Never mind, there is another one in the kitchen,” Uncle Ben told me I had a feeling he knew I was lying through my teeth but he wouldn’t say anything. He didn't trust me and I could understand why; I nearly caused the guy a heart attack for god sake you could understand if he wasn’t so keen on me! My phone rang and buzzed in my little strappy shoulder bag. Liz or one of the others calling to track me down. I stood and went into the kitchen to take the private call “Liz?” I asked into the phone “No Maria it’s me Michael” was the reply “Max’s pissed and Liz is going crazy with worry. So am I Maria where are you?” he asked his voice slurred through the phone line “I’m at the Parkers house,” I said “What you're back in Roswell! What are you doing at Liz’s house!” he boomed and I held the phone away from my ear “Not Liz’s house. I’m not stupid Michael I know the Special Unit is still looking for us. I’m at Peter Parkers house is Kyle there?” I ask and he sounds disappointed I want to talk to Kyle instead of him “No he’s not here yet. He hasn’t come back yet probably getting drunk at some club or something…” I knew he was lying but I didn't want to cause a big argument. It was a believable lie because Kyle’s new best friend was Mr alcohol, his day and nightly friend. “Ok Michael I’m staying the night here and I’ll be back at the hotel in the morning. More of the little incidents happened again; you know like what I did to Max” I whispered into the phone “Oh what exactly did you do?” he inquired “Oh crawled up the wall flipped through the air, landed on a moving car and took out some robbers,” I said casually “Were you seen?” “Of course I was seen they were robbing in broad daylight. Any way Michael that’s not it. You know the extenuating circumstances you're always warning me about you know like Liz has got and soon so will Kyle well I’ve got them I haven’t got the green flashes yet but give it time” “Maria I think you should come back here” he bossed “Listen Space Boy I’m staying here tonight and I’m having a break from all the pod squad crap now bye!” I pressed the button on the phone ending the call and switched it off so I wouldn’t be disturbed. I went back into the living room “Well we’re going up now, the telly must be off by half eleven and you two must be in bed by twelve at the latest” Aunt May ordered with a grin, it was like being back with my mom and Valenti again. I began to sob at missing my mom and her quirky little sense of humour. “Oh dear what’s wrong?” cooed Aunt May “When we had to leave we had to leave our parents, I didn't even get to say goodbye we left during graduation. I never got to say bye to my mom or Sassafras my cat” I sobbed and rooted in my purse for a vial of cedar or lavender to cool my nerves. I pulled the lid off and sniffed “Are those drugs” Aunt May gasped “Oh! No these are vials of cedar oil, its wild herbs and roots. They relax and calm me down, I make capsules too” I told her handing the lavender and she sniffed the vial “Hmmm smells nice pet, did you make these?” she asked and I nodded “there good, could you make some for Ben. He has so much stress what with loosing his job after thirty five years” I grinned and nodded happily. God they had been together that long, I had admiration and compared it with where me and Space Boy would be in that time. It looked hopeless. I climbed the stairs and found Peters room, he was sitting at his desk looking rather nervous in boxer shorts and nothing else “Err do you want to have the bed?” he struggled “We could share… I don't bite” I grinned my cheeks flushed and in that brief second I forgot about Michael “What about you're boyfriend?” he asked “Oh Space Boys’ nothing to worry about and anyway you can probably swing on the web and get away from him” I said as I straightened up and spoke to myself. I slid into the bed and he was quick to get in next to me. Hmm nice, he’s like Liz spending time just two friends not sexual or anything just talking in a bed together.

 Okay, I can see that this is going to be a fun one! I would never have thought of a Spiderman/Roswell cross! How totally unique! Ther are a couple of spots that I am not sure i understand, but that is because you didn't proof read before posting. I CAN'T do that! No one would ever be able to read what I wrote! Could you clear this up for me? I'm curious what she said that won Mrs. Parker over..."“Mrs Parker I’m not dangerous I’m set up Peters helping me and my friends,” I told them and she looked won over until his uncle stepped up" Maria is sooo going to have a ball with this as soon as she gets used to it. Guess she'll even out-do the Spiderman with her unique mix of alien/spider abilities! I will definately keep an eye on this one! Chrystal

That was very interesting indeed. So I take it this is post Alex's death, and post S-3? It will definitely be interesting to see what goes on in Maria's now doubly unique life. And what will the others do or say or think? Except for Liz who seems to have already figured out what happpened, at least in theory. Mt Gazer
