Disclaimer: All right, this story is not real. NOT REAL! Not to be read by anyone under the age of 18/21 yadda yadda yadda! I'd love to hear some feedback as per usual. Please feel free to leave me a comment in the COMMENT Box at the end of the page. You see those big empty stars too? Maybe bump those up to five full ones? We wouldn't want them to be empty now would we? All alone like that? You're not a monster are you?
Also, please don't post this on any other site without my explicit permission. I've had to bring the hammer down on two thieves right as of writing and don't want to bring it down again.

Author's Note: No. I never saw The Amazing Spider-man due to me not really believing that Spider-man needed a reboot so I'm only going by the trailers. Also, I'm well aware that Emma is a natural blonde I just happen to have a thing for red heads. Don't like it? Go check out another fic, I'm sure some other author would like your feedback. Finally, I'm well aware the stunt co-ordinator on The Amazing Spider-man probably wasn't called Dick Fitswell but I'm a sucker for pun names, especially if they're dirty.
My life's pretty easy. Well as easy as it can be being a stunt man working in Hollywood. It's even easier when you look like I do. A generic mid twenty year old with messy brown hair, clean shaven, skinny and regular blue eyes. However, the way I was currently dressed made me stand out of the crowd. I had on a Spider-man outfit, and not just a regular Spider-man outfit. A torn Spider-man outfit. I was working as Andrew Garfield's stunt double on the new movie, The Amazing Spider-man which was a reboot of the massive comic book franchise.
Now, personally I didn't see the need to reboot the franchise, everyone knows that Spider-man became a super hero by being bitten by a radioactive spider. Why did they need to reboot it? Still, if they had kept Tobey Maguire on, maybe I wouldn't have got the job. I should count my blessings and those lovely dollars that should be in my bank account soon after this movie had wrapped.
In the scene me and Emma, Emma Stone the new leading lady playing Gwen Stacy, were suspended by a steel cable designed to look like Spider-man's webbing and we would swing away from the villain, The Lizard. To shoot this, both me and Emma would need to be strapped into a harness and hoisted roughly thirty feet in the air to match the dangerous skyline of New York City.
Emma, who was wearing a blonde wig, walked up to me with a big smile on her face. She had on a smart, black blazer, a low cut teal green under shirt that rather nicely revealed her cleavage. Completing the lower portion of her body, Emma was wearing a black skirt and some knee high boots, she had on a normal pair of tights under the skirt.
"Good morning!" She beamed at me, a big smile on her face as she walked up to me.
"Morning." I replied, Emma had a brave face on but was gnawing at her bottom lip cutely. She was nervous.
"First time hanging from a cable thirty foot in the air?" I smiled at her as I sipped on my styrofoam cup of coffee. She looked over at me and nodded her head shyly.
"How did you guess?"
"Ah. You can always spot the newbies." I teased her as she walked over to me and leant up against the table we were loitering by.
"Is it going to be bad?" She asked me, looking to her left so she could make eye contact with me.
"Nah. This will be the easiest stunt to shoot, all the hard stuff's been done already. You don't need to worry about it. Just focus on getting the shot right." I reassured her, funnily enough this would make it about the twentieth time I would be dangling by a wire and the whole thing was getting to be slightly mundane.
"You sound so sure." She said smiling. Emma turned and started to pour herself a cup of coffee. As she did, I got a quick chance to check her out. Now, it's easy to look at celebrities on forums and google images but actually admiring them in the flesh made it all the more nicer. She had a nice ass.
"Well, I've only been a stunt man for so long but after working on Twilight I had a lot of wire work done and the whole thing's a little easy for me now. Basically, you strap on to me, I strap onto the wire and we get some long shots before the camera zooms in to you." I explained, watching as Emma turned back around to look at the busy scene in front of us. Crew men and assistants rushed around the set, as this was a pivotal scene things had to look perfect. Things like this always amused me, as the award show times rolled around Emma and Andrew Garfield, the new Spider-man, would get all the recognition for all of twenty minutes of work while the plebs like me and the rest of the crew would get sweet F A.
"Just like that?"
"Just like that." I confirmed, Marc Webb, the director of the new movie, then walked over to us. Sipping on his own cup of coffee in a black Marvel mug, he smiled and nodded at me and Emma.
"Morning guys. Ready for the shoot?"
"Ready!" Emma replied with a peppy tone in her voice, I simply nodded my head and stifled a yawn.
"OK, so Emma you're going to latch onto Cole here, like he's Andrew for the big kiss scene. Cole, you know what you need to do right?"
"Right. Hold Emma tight and make sure we don't fall." I replied with a chuckle, both Marc and Emma laughed and Marc nodded his head.
"Right. Okay, we're ready to go if you guys are?"
I looked at Emma who still seemed nervous but nodded her head. I smiled and nodded too.
"Sure, should we get strapped in?" I asked Emma, who nodded her head.
"Okay, let's go."
We walked over to the middle of the street where a boring grey harness was lying on the floor. I was the first to step into it and Emma soon after.
"Excuse me." I said with a smile, bending my knee my face was directly in front of her crotch. I slid the harness up her legs and did my best to ignore the erotic implications. I tightened the strap around her stomach and between her legs, she smiled at me sweetly.
"I bet you do this for all the girls." She joked weakly, I smirked as I fastened my own harness. We were now inches apart and her warm breath beat against my neck while I clipped the both of us onto the large hook that would elevate us off of the floor.
"Only the cute ones." I looked over my shoulder as saw Richard Fitswell, Dick to his friends, the stunt supervisor walk over and double check the working on the hook. He looked at me and nodded his head, he turned and gave the thumbs up to the worker of the New York city council provided cherry picker. "Okay, we'll go up on the count of three."
Dick nodded his head and called out to the worker.
"One... Two... Three!"
And with that both me and Emma were hoisted off of the ground and into the air. She yelped in surprise and pushed her face into my shoulder, as if I would be able to shield her from the shock. However, I merely chuckled as the sound of the wire being retracted filled our ears.
"Is that normal?" She shouted to me, I took her to be meaning the noise of the steel cable being retracted. It did seem a little loud.
"Yeah! It's all perfectly oof!" I started but we were both shook violently as the winch stopped and we were swung from side to side and front to back. That certainly wasn't normal.
"What's going on!?" Emma yelped as she hugged me tightly.
"I'm sure it'll all get fixed soon. Sometimes the machine's take time to warm up." What felt like minutes could well have been seconds passed as we both waited for the winch to carry on taking us up. Looking down, we must have been roughly twenty feet in the air with another ten to go. I cast a look around to try and find Dick to get a better idea of what was going on. Then, the noise of a megaphone broke the temporary silence between me and Emma.
"Cole! Cole! Can you hear me?"
I stuck my thumb up in a positive reaction.
"Good! The winch on the cherry picker's broken. You'll stay suspended fine enough but we're not sure about getting you down just yet. You guys going to be OK?"
I looked down at Emma who still had her face buried in my shoulder. I bumped her shoulders and upper arms with mine playfully making her look up at me.
"We going to be okay?" I asked her, looking deep into her big green eyes to make sure she was actually okay.
"Yeah... Yeah I'll be fine."
I smiled, satisfied that she was telling the truth. That sounds harsh but the last thing you want when you're suspended roughly twenty foot in the air is a panicking movie star. I stuck my thumb out again in a positive fashion.
