A Glimpse Through the Crowd
It was a bright, sunny afternoon in the heart of the city. The local market buzzed with life — vendors shouting prices, children tugging at their parents, and the smell of fresh fruits and spices filling the air.
Among the crowd, a rather unusual sight was turning heads — Spider-Man, still in his signature red-and-blue suit (minus the mask), calmly shopping for groceries. A bag of apples in one hand, some bread in the other, he looked almost... normal. Just another guy trying to get through his shopping list.
But what Spider-Man didn’t notice was that someone was watching him — not an enemy, but a secret admirer.
Behind a curtain of hanging scarves, peeking from the shadow of a spice stall, stood Superwoman. She had spotted him from the sky while on patrol and followed him out of curiosity. At first, she was just amused. The idea of the city’s beloved superhero picking out tomatoes was oddly charming.
But the longer she watched, the more she found herself smiling. It wasn’t just his heroics she admired now. It was his humanness. The way he greeted the vendor, helped an old lady pick up dropped groceries, and stopped to let a child take a selfie — it all made her heart skip a beat.
“I think I like him…” she whispered to herself, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Maybe one day, she’d stop hiding behind market stalls.
Maybe one day, she’d say hello.
But for now, she watched from afar — smiling, curious, and just a little bit in love.
