Peter watched the excitement in her eyes as she went on and on about the masked man... her eyes twinkling and her mouth smiling at just the thought of him... He couldn't blame her... He was exciting, witty, brave, putting others in front of him... but then he remembered that HE was that very same guy! There was small talk, jokes, and remembering the good old days when their only care in the world was playing pretend in the living room. Dinner was amazing, and when Lexi left, Peter used the excuse that he was exhausted from today's painting, but in reality wanted to make sure Lexi made it home safe as Spider-Man... He would never admit it, but he usually kept an eye on her while she went to go on errands, or traveled alone at night... Not in a stalker kind of way. She was his best friend, and did not want her to get hurt.

Dawning the suit, made sure his door was locked, and climbed out the window, shooting a web and zipping through skyscrapers. The night had a slight cold breeze, but it was rather refreshing. It didn't take long for Spider-Man to hear screaming and shouting in an alleyway. and to his horror, Lexi was being held by a group of men. Muggers

Spider-Man hung on a web upside down, looking at the two men who were holding Lexi, one holding a knife at her, and other doing a terrible job at looking out. "Just hand over your money, cards, and other jewelry, and no one gets hurt..." The man with the knife said to her. Spider-Man was still hanging upside down right above him. He casually plucked the knife out of his hand, and examined it. "Wow, top grade muggers here... What, you rob a pizzeria for silverware before this?" He asked, simply snapping the knife in half.

"Oh shit!" The man no longer holding the knife swung a punch. Spider-Man easily dodged. "Why is it always a punch for our first conversation with you guys?" He asked, swinging upside down and then releasing to do a flip and a kick to the head. "A compliment on my upper body strength or how blue and red looks good on me would really make my night." He said, shooting a web at the man farthest away, and pulling him towards him. Momentum had him flying over here, Spider-Man clothes lined him. He turned to the two still holding Lexi. 

"So will it be a two on one, use her as a hostage, or put your hands up?" He asked them. They looked at each other, then dropped Lexi. Spider-Man immediately jumped on one of their shoulders, and pushing off him to grab the other man's head, doing a flip and doing a body slam. "Woo! I could be on WWE!" Spider-Man said, looking at the man who was trying to crawl away. He shot webs at his hands and feet, immobilizing him. After he tied the rest of them up, he looked at Lexi.

"Am i going to have to follow you everywhere?" He asked jokingly, helping her up. "You need a ride? I think i remember the address." he asked, holding out a hand for her to take.
