Caty slept like a baby. She didn't even feel tired, but the way she immediately went to sleep and stayed asleep until the morning suggested otherwise. Not only was she physically rested, but she had strange dreams of her and her brother swinging through the city and fighting a bunch of random villains. She only knew it was her brother because she'd recognize his sense of style anywhere. But the strangest part of it all? It didn't feel like a dream. It all felt so real like she was actually living the experience. The dream ended with them joining some kind of team. She couldn't really see the people clearly or catch the name before she woke up.

Caty groggily opened her eyes and saw four giant ass eyes staring curiously right back at her. She focused more on the rest of the creature and saw that it was a metallic blue jumping spider. Normally she wouldn't have been afraid of spiders, but after getting bit yesterday and waking up to another spider right in front of her face? Oh you bet she freaked.

Caty let out a shriek and jumped from her bed planning just to land on the floor but instead she came hurtling towards her right wall. Oh crap. She stuck out her arms hoping to push off the wall, but instead she clung to it? [i]"What the hell is going on?"[/i] She was able to free one hand and used it to turn herself around to search for the spider. That still being her priority and not the fact that she was clinging to a wall. She spotted the spider directly across from her on the left wall of her room. It was dangling half its body just like she was. Was it mimicking her? Could spiders even do that?

Caty decided to do a little experiment of spider see spider do to test her theory. She swayed her head as if she were a snake charmer grooving to their own music. The spider in perfect sync moved its head right along with her. It wasn't mimicking her. Somehow they were linked? Was that how she was able to jump so far and cling to the wall? What else could she do? Anything a spider could?

[color=E137E3]"Danny!! Get in here please!!"[/color] Danny had to see this. Was this a result of the spider bite? Just what was Oscorp doing over there? And if so did he have powers as well?

Danny hadn’t planned to sleep the day away, but that’s what happened. He had dreams that he and his sister were superheroes, fighting a bunch of villians. His costume was fabulous, and people were actually cheering for him. It was definitely a dream, but it was definitely real.

He awoke the next morning, groggily reached for his glasses, and put them on. Only for his vision to be blurry. [color=pink]“That’s weird…”[/color] He took his glasses off, and his vision was perfectly clear. [color=pink]“Hm, interesting…”[/color] His vision had improved overnight. Danny was too tired to actually address that. Instead, he set his glasses on the nightstand, and jumped out of bed. He took off his sweaty shirt to change into something dry. Then, he got a look at himself in the mirror, he was shocked by what he saw. [color=pink]“No way!”[/color] Apparently, in addition to his vision improving, he had gained muscle mass overnight. He had abs now! And he had defined arms too! Danny spent a few minutes flexing in front of the mirror. Until he heard his twin sister calling.

Danny immediately ran over to her room to see what the fuss was about, but also show off what happened to him. [color=pink]“Caty! What happened?! Did something weird happen to you too? I apparently got hot overnight…”[/color]

Wall-crawling Caty turned to see her twin as he entered her room. The first thing she noticed was that he wasn't wearing his glasses and she wasn't exactly sure but he also seemed taller. And were those muscles? It seemed Danny had blossomed overnight.

[color=E137E3]"Uh… hello."[/color] She said waving her free hanging arm out and about so that he could see that something weird did indeed happen to her and stopped once she got his attention. [color=E137E3]"I'm sticking to a wall. But that's not the freakiest part. Look."[/color] She pointed her finger to the wall across from her at her new spider friend. If Danny looked he'd be able to see the spider pointing back at her. [color=E137E3]"Now wave to my brother, Danny."[/color] She repeated the motion for a wave and pointed to her brother watching as the spider waved one of its forelegs right at Danny.

Danny’s eyes went wide as Caty demonstrated her newfound abilities. [color=pink]“Fascinating! You seemed to have gotten superpowers, and I got abs.”[/color] Then he rubbed his chin for a second. [color=pink]“Hm, I wonder…”[/color] Then he pressed both his hands to the wall, and tried to climb up. Much to his surprise, his hands stuck, and it worked. He made his way to the ceiling. Then, he waved an arm to see if the spider would respond to him as well, but there was no response. [color=pink]“So, I can climb up walls too, but the spider seems connected to you specifically… This… couldn’t possibly have anything with… um… well… you know…”[/color]

When Danny discovered he too had the ability to climb walls, but not the ability to control spiders she realized that was more unique to her. She didn't understand why and wondered if he had an extra power that they hadn't discovered yet.

Caty smiled at what both she and Danny were thinking. These powers came from the spider bite after all. She was interested in figuring out exactly what all they could do. Caty sighed and climbed back down the wall to the floor. Her new spider friend followed suit and crawled over to her before going up her body until it reached her hand. She didn't tell it to do that but it seemed as if the spider was attached to her in a way. [color=E137E3]"Norman Osborn is a freaking genius. Imagine all that we could do with these powers. We could be superheroes! The Amazing Spider-Twins have a nice ring to it, don't you think?”[/color]

Danny lingered on the ceiling for a little while. [color=pink]“What reason could Norman have to modify spiders to give people powers?”[/color] He paused for a moment and shook his head. [color=pink]“Well, that’s a thought for another day. You know what this means don’t you? We’re scientists. We have to experiment. What we can do, the limits of our abilities, etcetera…”[/color] Danny was excited at the prospect of having superpowers, like the characters he read about in comic books. 

At which point, Danny’s stomach growled loudly, and only then did Danny come down from the ceiling. [color=pink]“After breakfast though. I’m suddenly really hungry. Oh, but uh… maybe we shouldn’t tell mom and dad about this? Not yet. Not until we have a better handle on this.”[/color]

Danny had a good question. She wondered if it had something to do with the old super soldier serum that they gave to Captain America in WWII. But he was right. That was something they could worry about later. The thought of experimenting with their powers got her really excited.

[color=E137E3]"You're right. The last thing they need to worry about is two super-powered teens putting themselves in danger."[/color] She walked over to Danny and wrapped her arm around his shoulders. [color=E137E3]"Now, let's go get that new body of yours some food."[/color]

The two made their ways downstairs to the kitchen. They heard a doorbell and saw their mom heading towards the door just as they made it downstairs.

Caty walked into the kitchen to see what they could whip up when she heard her mother at the door.

[color=ffccff]“Oh, Liz! It's so nice to see you this morning. Your timing is perfect. The twins just woke up. You can come in if you want.”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“No, that's okay, Mrs. Davis, thank you. Can Caty come to the door?”[/color]

[color=ffccff]“Caty!”[/color] Her mother called out to her. [color=ffccff]“Your friend Liz is here!!”[/color]

Liz!? What was she doing here? Oh shoot. Caty remembered that she was supposed to call her when she got back home. She left Danny in the kitchen not sure what she was going to say to Liz about everything. Would she tell her the truth and how would she react if she did? What if learning the truth put her in danger? Could she even hide it? Liz always knew when she was hiding something. All of these thoughts and more ran through her mind as she made her way to the front door. She decided. She had to tell her. She trusted Liz with everything. She was her everything. She couldn't hide this part of herself from her.

[color=E137E3]“Thanks, mom.”[/color] She said as her mom passed and went back to the kitchen. Caty stepped outside on the stoop and closed the door behind her.

Liz was standing there with arms crossed and a very disappointed look on her face.

[color=E137E3]“What's wrong?”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“You had one job, Missy. Call me when you got home or I'd show up here.”[/color]

Caty couldn't help but laugh and smile at her. [color=E137E3]“What if I didn't call you just so you could come up here?”[/color]

Liz rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile. [color=99d6ff]“Because as smart as you are you were in no condition to make plans yesterday. You can't imagine how scared I was. Especially when you didn't answer your phone.”[/color]

Caty honestly hadn't realized that Liz [i]had[/i] called her. She was too busy with finding out that she had powers that she didn't even bother thinking about her phone.

[color=E137E3]“I'm sorry, I passed out as soon as I got home.”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“Your mom said you just woke up.”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“I did. I slept that entire time. Except… I didn't just sleep. I had the craziest dream of Danny and I being superheroes. Swinging through the city and figh—”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“Hold on. Swinging? Like Tarzan?”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“No, well, sorta. But on webs instead of vines. They came from my wrists.”[/color] Caty had realized that she hadn't tried shooting webs yet. She stared at her wrists to see if there were any changes, but didn't see anything.

[color=99d6ff]“Swinging from webs…”[/color] She placed the back of her hand on Caty's forehead to make sure she didn't have a fever. [color=99d6ff]“That spider bite gave you crazy dreams. You sure you're okay?”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“Yes, but they weren't just dreams. I woke up this morning…”[/color] She looked around and made sure no one was around. [color=E137E3]“With powers. Spider powers.”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“Uh-huh.”[/color] Liz said dryly not at all believing her. [color=99d6ff]“So you can shoot webs from your wrist like the dream?”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“I… I actually haven't checked.”[/color] She aimed her hand towards the roof of her brownstone and pressed down on her wrist, but nothing… She tried again and again. And again, there was nothing. She could tell that Liz wasn't believing her at all. [color=E137E3]“Okay, maybe not webs. Buttttt, I can jump high and cling to walls and I'm psychically linked to spiders. Well, so far only one spider.”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“Okay. Prove it.”[/color]

Caty sighed and jumped on top of the lamppost in front of them before crawling down it. She then pointed to Liz's right shoulder.

When Liz turned her head she saw a metallic blue jumping spider crawling on her. She let out a scream and before she could swing at the spider it jumped off of her and made its way over to Caty as she landed on the ground.

[color=E137E3]“Now, do you believe me?”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“I do, but don't [i]ever[/i] do that again. Danny has powers too?”[/color]

Caty nodded and walked back over to Liz. [color=E137E3]“Yep. Though he doesn't seem to be connected to spiders like I am, but maybe he's the one with webs.”[/color]

[color=99d6ff]“Caty… This is a lot. A good a lot, but a scary a lot too. I know you. You're going to want to live out that dream and be a hero and as much as I'd love to be dating a superhero, I'd be scared. What if you get seriously hurt or worse?”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“I'll be fine, Liz. I promise. Plus I'll have Danny backing me up. The Unstoppable Duo back together. It's like this was meant to happen. Meant for us to go out and save people. I've always wanted to do great things and help so many people. That's why I loved science. Used the right way and it could change the world for the better. But these powers can do what I can't with just science.”[/color]

Liz couldn't help but to get drawn into Caty's fantasy. The way she spun it, it sounded wonderful. Like maybe this was her destiny. [color=99d6ff]“I haven't seen you this passionate about something in so long. I can't stop you. I'll just have to trust you to stay safe.”[/color]

[color=E137E3]“Thank you, Liz. Are you sure you don't want to come in?”[/color]

Liz nodded reluctantly. She did want to stay, but she couldn't. Not today. [color=99d6ff]“I can't, but I'll see you later, hero?”[/color] She then leaned in closer to Caty and kissed her on the lips before pulling back. [color=99d6ff]“Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.”[/color]

Caty smiled and watched Liz walk down the steps to the street. She watched her walk until she couldn't see her anymore. Caty was right the day before. Ever since yesterday everything was just so perfect.

And while Caty was talking to Liz, Danny was getting as much food as the Davis kitchen had to offer. Cereal, Waffles, eggs, bacon, toast. Danny piled on as much food in front of him.

Their mother was surprised by how much Danny was eating. [color=ffccff]“Wow, you have quite an appetite today.”[/color]

[color=pink]“Yeah…”[/color] Danny answered between mouthfuls of food. [color=pink]“I’m really hungry today.”[/color]

[color=ffccff]“I’m not surprised. You both slept through dinner last night… I’m glad you're feeling better.”[/color]

Just then, the phone rang. Their mother answered it while Danny was still chowing down. Then she called for Danny. [color=ffccff]“Danny, Harry’s on the phone!”[/color]

She passed the phone to Danny, and Harry started speaking. [color=39b54a]“Danny, are you ok? You haven’t answered your phone at all.”[/color]

[color=pink]“Yeah, never better. It’s a bit of a long story. I’ll tell you and Gwen about it later.”[/color]
