Chapter 35 - A Gut Feeling (1/2)

Peter swung lazily through the air, careful that no one could see where he was going. Knowing that he was going into one of the shadier parts of town, it was better that he wasn't spotted. One of the many reasons he usually only went to the district at night.

Holding the 2 hotdogs he just picked up, close to his chest, so that they didn't cool down too fast, or lose their toppings, he quickly made his way to his street clothes. On the way to them he started to pray to god that they hadn't been stolen, or ripped.

Clothes like that just lying around would sometimes be taken, especially if his webbing let up and they dropped to ground level. Finally making it to the spot he left the clothes, he said a short thanks before getting changed.

Deciding that he was still taking too much time, as the food was getting cold; he sprinted off towards the Warehouse. Finally reaching the door, a slight tinge in his spider sense made his hand stop. A short ping of danger spiked through Peter's head as he didn't open the door.

He had been Spider-Man for 5 years now, and at the start his spider sense had saved him numerous times, it still was essential today. He had relied on it for such a long time, before he lost it at some point. Of course he regained it later, but that was a story for another time.

What was important was how it had changed after he got it back. It still warned him of danger, imminent and malicious intentions included, but what had changed was that it told him of past danger. It was a weird feeling and Peter thought he was going crazy when he first felt it.

It wasn't like his usual spider sense that warned him of danger; it instead told him of danger that had passed through the area, like an echo of danger. Usually this meant that someone dangerous, someone that could give him a run for his money, had come through the area in the last few hours.

It was a very specific type of spider sense and one that wholly he didn't use much. It was useful when he was trying to track a person down, but the proximity to the danger was hard to locate and the person had to stay in the same area for a while, before it would set this spider sense off.

Feeling the cold prick of the spider sense go off, Peter instantly tensed. He knew that Laura lived here and she also didn't set his spider sense off anymore. This meant someone very dangerous had come here recently.

Staying calm, but preparing for anything, Peter slowly opened the door. *CreaK* The loud sound of the door opening, made Peter want to curse the old door. His eyes sharpened though as he took in the warehouse interior.

Rubble was littered about the place, as well as some steel beams that seemed to have been knocked over. One of the walls was blasted apart letting a cold chill fill the area. Peter knew right away that there was no chance that Laura would still be here.
