《A spider in the arrow-verse》Origin pt.1
Advertisement
'Alright so you already know the whole song and dance, hit by the particle accelerator explosion, became a wall crawling vigilante yada yada. But you don't know who I was before I became who I am today. I used to be a regular kid with a somewhat regular life, except for the fact that my father Aaron Davis was sent to jail for a crime I don't know about. And because I didn't have any other family that could take me in a police officer by the name Quentin Lance took me in. Both him and my father were good friends but something changed, he's trying his best to be a good father figure to me but honestly I feel kind of weird about it. I did get to know his wife and two daughters pretty decently even though I did usually distance myself from them. Most people would say That's not healthy but I didn't know what else to do.'- Narrator (y/n)
)
I started to wake up and stretch my arms to look around my pretty small apartment.
Both me and Mr.Lance came to an agreement that I can live in my own place, however he has to pay for my rent expense. I told him I didn't mind finding a job but he insisted so I didn't really argue. On some occasions either him or his oldest daughter Laura comes around to say hi. As for his wife, sadly to say him and his wife split up because they're youngest daughter Sara passed away, I'm Sara was well she always treated me like I was family true they all did but Sara she was different. Always wanted to make sure I was doing fine saying I could come to her and talk to her about anything, I never really had any siblings growing up so it felt kinda nice but that's not to say that the others didn't do their parts either it was just I was the problem. I got up and took a look at my phone and saw that I had a few texts from some friends of mine.
'Dude are you awake wondering if you wanted to come and hang out at The glades. You know the old meet up get a drink grab a pizza.'- Sin
'Hey, it's Thea I think I might have a place for you to work at my club. We can always use an extra bartender or waiter.'- Thea
Thea is the daughter of the queen family, and Sin is my best friend from when I was in The Glades. The Glades is a dangerous, crime-ridden area of Starling City that appears to predominantly be inhabited by the city's lower-class citizens. Clearly I don't live there anymore but I do go back there here and there. I texted back to Thea telling her I'd come and check it out or I'll think about it, as for Sin I told her I'm on the way.

I'm currently in The Glades walking around trying to find the good old hideout me, Sin and another find of ours named Max Stanton used to hang out by. I have to say it's pretty nice being back home every now and then, I see a few people walking by and they wave to me people I know. Finally made it and it was an old shack under a bridge, a small cooler, a small grill with charcoal right next to it. I remember the three of us coming here and I used to grill burgers and hot dogs, Max was in charge of finding bread and condiments, Sin always said she'd bring the drinks and they always the ones she likes the most. As I was reminiscing of the good old days I heard the faint sound of footsteps so I turned around and saw a teen girl with short spikey black hair, black leather jacket and kind messed up jeans.
"No, hi or hello?"- Sin
"Hey, Sin."- (y/n)
I walked up to Sin and pulled her into a hug making us both laugh a bit. God I haven't spoken to her in months to be specific 2 months but, what ever.
"Well, look at you, still rocking the Glades dress style. Here I was thinking you'd be dressed in those fancy schmancy clothes."- Sin
"Hey if they ain't got rips I don't want'em."- (y/n)
"Alright alright. Why haven't you called? You gotten to good for us?"- Sin
"Oh shut up you know I love this place. Even with how messed up it is, how are you doing? I saw on the news what happened in the glades a few weeks ago."- (y/n)
"Yeah, I'm fine an explosions nothing compared to what we have to live with everyday. What about you, are you okay heard your dad went to jail about 5 months ago."- Sin
Still isn't an easy subject for me to talk about. Cuz the man who arrested my father is the one who's supposed to be taking care of me, AKA Quinton Lance. Every time I try to ask him he won't tell me and an argument breaks out, I would do the stupid thing and try to find it out by myself but then I'd get into more trouble than I already have gotten in.
"Rather not talk about it."- (y/n)
"Yeah, sorry about that. But uh you hungry we can get some big belly burger. My treat?"- Sin
"Want to call Max?"- (y/n)

"Nah, let's just make it a me and you thing."- Sin
Didn't really want to question it so I just went along with it and followed her. A good few hours had passed, and my belly is full, I ate two big belly burgers and I am happy.
"Oh boy that was delicious."- (y/n)
"Hehe still a pig I see."- Sin
"Says the under aged girl drinking a beer."- (y/n)
"Exscuse me."- ???
Both me and Sin looked around and saw a guy in a red hoodie. A tooth necklace and a black shirt, not to mention that lame pretty boy jaw people always faint over.
"Step off, Abercrombie."- Sin
"Cindy?"- Red Jacket
The second I heard him say her real name I slightly stood in front of of her and I saw the guy look at me and then back to her. I don't know who this guy is but I get a bad feeling here, the only people who use her real name, are Max, me, and her family.
"Sin?"- Red Jacket
Sin lightly pat my back which means she wants me to back off, so I just slightly stepped back.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy with my friend?"- Sin
"I'm lookin' for a friend of yours. Blonde. Black leather, head to toe."- Red Jacket
What the hell? What's Sin been getting herself into? I mean yeah she has made some good friends down at this bar and their my friends to, but still. I felt her took the back of my jacket so I turned around and she whispered into my ear.
"Run to the top of the clock tower."- Sin
The second she said that she started to run, I'm guessing she does want him to know so I started to run in a different direction and luckily for me he ran after Her and not me. Seeing I was in the clear I slowed down and took my time but still kept a good pace. She said the clock tower so I'm guessing she means the one next to burgoo called Heritage Hall. It didn't take me that long to find it good thing is still not my way around this place, the second I got to the building and I ran inside and started to go to the top. It really sucks that this clock tower doesn't have an elevator to the top cuz I had to take the freaking stairs, and the second I got to the top I saw the guy Sin was running form knocked out on the ground with a blonde woman in black leather standing over him.
"Uuuuuh."- (y/n)
The woman in black turned her head to me and it's weird, I get this eerie feeling I've seen her somewhere before. I mean some of her hair was covering her face, so I couldn't really make out her face. I was getting the feeling she was the one who knocked him out so unless I wanted that to happen to me I was getting ready to book it, that was until Sin came out of hiding.
"Hey, hey she's cool she's cool."- Sin
"Who's this?"- Blonde
"His a friend. This is (y/n), (y/n) meet the vigilante Canary."- Sin
"Since when do you hang out with vigilantes?"- (y/n)
"Look she's cool she saved me from, some guys trying to get handsy with me. And yes I almost got....you know but plz don't freak I know how you get."- Sin
"Idewha, if you didn't want me to freak you shouldn't have said anything!"- (y/n)
"I know I know but I'm fine."- Sin
"Are you sure?"- (y/n)
"Yes."- Sin
I took a good look at her and I just hugged her which she accepted. I can't believe something like that happened and I wasn't around to do anything. I let her go and turned to, I guess I'm just going to call her Canary and said something I usually don't get to say to people in The Glades.
"Thank you for saving Sin. And if she says you're cool then you're cool with me."- (y/n)
"** Sure, you know your got a good friend there."- Canary
"I know, even though she can be a handful of times."- (y/n)
"Hey I bought you burgers."- Sin
"I'm yanking your chain. But, I should probably go before my..... I guess guardian starts wondering where I am."- (y/n)
I started to walk back to the entrance to the Attic of this clock tower but I heard Canary call my name to stop me.
"Can you do me a favor and not tell anyone you saw me or where I am? I'd very much appreciate it."- Canary
"Sure thing. Kind of get the vibe is a secret considering Sin didn't tell me about it."- (y/n)
