Musical

When all the Defenders finally arrive, they help out the firemen, police officers and Stan Damage Control Crews to deal with the cleanup and find possible victims that didn't manage to avoid Juggernaut's rampage. Before the X-Men left, Wolverine informed me that Professor Xavier is still considering my proposal for the X-men to enter the Defenders.

While the others is busy, I was resting on top of the building rooftop nearby with my body feeling sore due to my 'workout' with Juggernaut. My fight with Juggernaut has given me few ideas on how to improve the Defenders equipment to deal with heavy hitting villains or any other possible threats.

As I lay down resting on the rooftop overlooking the clean up, I can see the Defenders having a friendly chat with some of the firemen, police officers and cleanup crew at the scene. Since we have meet them many time it easier to work together to deal with the cleanup.

Slowly Black Cat approach me on top of the rooftop saying "Hey, Birdy! How are you feeling over there? That must have been one hell of a fight!"

"Ya.... I am just feeling slightly sore all over my body but I will be fine after a few hours of rest" I replied groaning as I stood back up.

Glancing at her, I jokingly asked "Any problem with the clean up? or Spidey got onto your nerve again".

"Everything is okay" replied Black Cat as she sit at the edge of the building. After hesitating a while, she said "Do you remember about the guy that I talk about last time?".

I replied "Yup, What about him?"

Black Cat sounding slightly nervous replied "Today, I asked him out for a date.... and he said yes"

"Congratulation, but I don't understand why are you boasting to me about your dating life" I replied feeling slightly confused.

Black Cat sigh to herself before saying "I need some advice".

"I am not sure that I am the best person to give you advice but I will try my best" I replied feeling slightly worried about where the conversation is going.

I don't know what happen but by the time I realize it, I have invited him out for a date" Black Cat explain slowly before she sat there in silence.

After a long moment of silence between us, I replied "I'm sorry but I don't see the problem yet".

Black Cat hesitate nervously saying "I am scared to screw it up and ruin our friendship. I got a feeling that he likes me too but I am afraid that it will never work out. I am still not sure how strong is my feeling for him but I know that he is important to me"

"Then tell him about your concerns. Take it slowly, sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. Once both of you know each other better emotionally you will know whether it work out or not" I advice her feeling the irony of the situation.

I continued encouragingly "If you both of you are meant to be together, it will naturally work out. Who knows if both of you are lucky, you both will end up as soulmate. ".

Black Cat was deep in her thoughts and she took a deep breath before she replied smiling "Thanks, Nightwing".

"So will you be telling him about you being Black Cat?" I asked.

She winced slightly at that question replying "Maybe. I don't know. I need more time to think about it".

"Either way he is a lucky man to be able to get your attention" I replied.

"Thanks, Nightwing" Black Cat said as she stood back up at the edge of the building.

Shooting her grappling hook, she look back at me and smirk saying "Who knows since he has the skills maybe one day I will bring him into the Defenders as my sidekick" swinging away without waiting for my reply as I stood there in shock.

Nightwing Base

Reaching back to the base, I gave a phone call to Felicia

"Hey Felicia. Sorry to disturb you so late at night" I greeted her nervously.

"No problem, Harry. I just came back from a jog" Felicia replied.

"I was thinking about the date that I have promised you. So I was just wondering are you free this weekend, lets say Saturday?" I asked her casually as possible.

"Yes, I think I will be free" Felicia replied back nervously stuttering slightly.

I replied jokingly "Looks like I am not the only one feeling nervous. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake or not"

"You nerd" Felicia replied laughing slightly as the tension lessen slightly

Smiling at her response, I replied "I was thinking that for our first date how about we go out for a movie and dinner"

I quickly continued "Nothing fancy, just a casual dinner" as a try to reassure her.

Felicia replied laughing at ease "It is perfect. To tell you the truth I was worried that you will do something fancy".

"Phew!!!! Safe!!!! I nearly did that" I playfully joke.

As she laughed at my response.

I continued "Don't worry. I just want us to slowly get to know each other. Lets just take it one step at a time".

Felicia replied "I am looking forward to it".

"Me too, Felicia. Me too" I replied as we said our goodbye.

Midtown High

The next day ...

Arriving at Midtown High, I arrive to see that there is a huge commotion at the corridor as a huge number of students is gathering in front of the noticeboard reading something excitedly.

Walking towards them, I can hear one of the girl excitedly said "When are the auditions? I am totally going to audition in it".

"This rock, man!" another guy said in front of the noticeboard.

Peter and Felicia is standing in front of the noticeboard with Peter's mouth agape and Felicia beside him looking at the noticeboard with slightly shock expression.

Ned stood there looking excited and proud with himself at the background.

Approaching Peter, I said "Peter, what is with all the commotion!" as Peter stood there ignoring me.

Looking towards the notice board, it reads

"School Musical Audition!

It is a Wild Wild Web!

All singing!

All dancing!

All Spiderman.......

Written by Michelle Jones "MJ"

I stood in shock when I read the notice too.

MJ approached us excitedly saying "Have you guys read it yet, it is my first professional credit! Well maybe semi professional! Okay Highschool! But it is still a credit".

Peter replied "You wrote a Spiderman show, MJ? When did you even write one. Why didn't you tell me?".

MJ replied "Who better! and I wanted to give you guys a surprise. The world thinks Spiderman is a menace due to J. Jonah Jameson! But I know better, I would like to change public opinions about him".

Felicia replied "Yeah, it is nice thought but where is the Defenders? and Black Cat is not a sidekick"

MJ casually replied "That will be done during the next show once I finish my script".

I chuckled slightly saying "There is no telling what your Director will do to your script" as I gestured to Felicia and Peter to continue reading the notice.

Directed by Ned Leeds

Produced by Ned Leeds

Songs by Ned Leeds

Felicia and Peter stared at Ned in shock.

"What? I want to be a film director! I need all the experience needed to be a good. By the way what rhyme with arachnids?" Ned replied back

Peter slap his forehead and groaning "This can't be real".

Ned talking to himself "Arachnid, Stay back kid!" as he write something in his notepad.

Peter started begging "Please don't do Spidey"

MJ grinning as she said "I didn't know you hate Spiderman. You are one of his fan member, right?"

I asked "Who is going to be Spiderman?"

MJ chuckled to herself as she saw Peter's reaction saying "Don't worry, I will make it the best show ever!" as Ned nodded his head in agreement

Peter groan to himself "Please tell me this is a bad dream".

Few hours later, we found out Flash Thompson got the role of Spiderman.

Peter is Flash understudy and he is the third choice to play Spiderman. Ned argued saying that Peter is wrong for the role of Spiderman

Ned explain why Flash is chosen as Spiderman "He has great performance and perfect build. He is the best Spiderman".

Peter has the look of horror whole day.

Felicia keep on complaining to MJ on why Black Cat is a sidekick.

MJ gave Spiderman a catchphrase 'I am Spiderman, evildoor and you just got bite'.

Ned wanted to put Black Cat as Spiderman's love interest which MJ quickly turn down the idea.

I keep laughing on the inside when I see all the commotion happening in front of me. I keep on thinking to my self that it is the 'Best Day Ever' as I took as much photo as possible of the whole situation.
