Ahh~ Ice cream... What could ever take away the joy of eating ice cream?
It's been a few days now, and these past few days have been peaceful, to say the least. There's no Lizard running around because Connors is still biding his time, and no supervillain popping up from everywhere.
Well, considering that I'm still in the early game of this whole shit show, I'm pretty safe for now. Oh right, the Ancient One said that I have to return to the hospital for now because tomorrow is the day that I will be discharged, finally.
"I have a very bad feeling that somehow, this day's gonna turn into sh--" I muttered while looking at the open window of my hospital room. It's nighttime, and watching the bright city light from atop, during the night in New York is one of my favorite times.
But knowing what was happening in the very streets of the city that I was staring at isn't something that could ease my mind. Imagining the different kinds of crimes, theft, and deaths happening currently while I'm here eating an ice cream peacefully gives my mind something to think about... but, am I truly ready to go out there and officially create a ripple that could potentially change the world as I know it?
Saving Uncle Ben was a rash decision, which I am thankful for making considering that Peter still took his supposed to be destiny, being the Spider-Man that the world needs.
"I'm a fucking pussy." I muttered in a daze. Oh, I know that I'm scared, but! I also know how I will deal with it. And that is going by the flow. Let the fate decide my life, after all, it's too troublesome to decide it on my own.
"HAHAHAHA~" My melodious laughter echoed around the room, its peaceful countenance further amplifying.
I was minding my own damn business, eating my strawberry, chocolate, and mango ice cream when suddenly, Spider-Man appeared in my window.
"What the fuck!" I yelled in shock. He suddenly swung by the window, giving me a jumpscare. How could I be calm with that?
"What the fuck, Pete! Wha- WHO- How!" I stuttered in shock... I should be winning an Oscar for this performance.
"There's not enough time to explain. You have some first aid here, right?" He questioned as he lay down on the floor. I looked at his form and noticed three deep gashed wounds on his chest.
'Looks like the Lizard did a number on him,' I thought to myself. I turned my head and retrieved a first aid kit from the cabinet.
"Fuck, man. Did that dinosaur do that to you? Here—" I muttered as I handed the first aid to him.
"More like a humongous lizard. You knew about it?"
"Duh, I have a working TV here, man. How did you become Spider-Man? What the fuck happened in the world while I was in the hospital?" I questioned him, pretending to be oblivious to everything that had been happening.
I was surprised that Pete would immediately reveal his secret identity to me, but I knew he did it because I'm his best friend.
"Not much... Well, first, I got bitten by a radioactive spider. Second, I found out that the 'spider' was created by my father and his colleague. I searched for his research on it and obtained a magical equation. Then I gave the equation to his colleague and helped him recreate it with a lizard, but something went wrong and I unintentionally created a humanoid dinosaur."
"...Shithead, did MJ know all about this?"
"Well... she's actually the first person I told."
"You're an idiot, and I'm hurt that I'm not the first one you told. You know the saying 'mates before dates,' right?"
"Wha- I thought it's 'bros before h--"
"You know what, it doesn't matter. Now, tell me. Tell me the real reason why you revealed this—" I said, pointing to his entire Spider-suit, "To me."
He looked at me with a serious expression and uttered, "I'll need you to make a cure, man."
...........
Pete and I talked for a while. I also managed to snag some band-aids and other medical supplies for Pete, knowing that he would need to clean his wounds later.
As for his request for me to create a cure, I agreed to it, but on the condition that he provide me with all the research data he and Dr. Connors had accumulated during their creation of the Lizard Serum. He reluctantly agreed, albeit with a snide comment.
"You're suspicious, man. But I trust you. You're my friend." he said with a stupid smile as he patted my shoulder.
"And you're cringing me so hard. Just give me the data tomorrow, same time," I replied while rolling my eyes at him. Peter hopped out the window with superb flexibility and turned around to meet me.
"See ya!" He exclaimed as he jumped, I stood by the mirror and watched him web himself from building to building until he disappeared from my view.
"Must be fun..." I muttered with a smile. My heart beating at above normal pace. Spider-Man swinging from building to building happening before my very eyes. It was exhilarating. He was my favorite hero in my past... he was the best of us.
Turning myself away from the window, I walked towards my backpack and grabbed a sling ring. I can travel through my mirror dimension, but it's not absolute yet. The first time I did it was just an accident, but like Sun Tzu always says, 'Practice makes perfect.'
{Don't makeup quotes I didn't create, you impudent punk!}
"No time to waste, I'll need to pick up some gadgets in my garage first. And of course, find out more regarding the next mirror ability on my list." I muttered as I moved my hands in a circular motion. The portal in front of me opened, and inside it was my garage, full of dust.
"It's finally getting exciting now,"
...........
"Home sweet home!" I exclaimed, unable to contain my joy, as I raised my hands high in the air. The familiar scent of comfort filled the air, and I knew I was exactly where I belonged.
"Welcome home, my sweetie," Mom greeted me, her voice infused with warmth as she planted a sweet kiss on my cheeks. With bags in her hand, she entered our house.
"Don't strain yourself," Dad cautioned, his concern evident in his words. "You've just been discharged from the hospital, and I'd rather not see you back there so soon."
Dad, with his playful nature, ruffled my hair and grinned at me. I returned his smile, a shared moment of unspoken understanding passing between us.
"Now, let's make our way inside, shall we?" he suggested, gesturing toward the open door.
"Mmmh!" I replied, nodding eagerly. With a heart full of gratitude and a spring in my step, I crossed the threshold and entered the embrace of our lovely home.
...
A few hours later, once we are done settling down, mom and dad urge me to rest, considering that I've just come out of the hospital, they thought that I'm still somewhat sensitive, which causes me to cringe.
"How would they react knowing that Mordo has been beating
me up for weeks in our spars... Well, ignorance is bliss, I guess?" I muttered to myself while looking up at the ceiling of my room.
Raising my hand, I looked at the object that was on my palm. It was a hard drive containing that research data that Pete and Dr. Connors obtained through their little experiments.
"Need to go to the basement..." I muttered as I stood up and headed out into my room.
Entering my scientific coven, I was met with various devices already up and running. I looked at my cryogenic storage and eyed my samples there.
"Pete's base DNA, check. My whole family's DNA, check." I muttered with a smile.
"And now..." Taking out a zip lock bag from my pocket. I stared at a bunch of reddened cotton balls inside the zip lock bag
"Spider-Man's DNA, check." I muttered in a whisper while looking at a reddened piece of cotton with a determined look. Carefully placing a piece of a cotton ball inside my cryo storage, I sighed in relief.
"Sorry, Pete..." I uttered while closing my eyes, sighing, and deciding to just forget the matter for now, I turned around and walked towards my desktop.
Opening my desktop, I typed in my password on my super-secret account and was met with a normal looking folder named, 'Porn'.
However, make no mistake. The name is just a façade. The contents inside of it however was the big deal.
As I opened the folder with my password,
"P@$$wordd123" I whispered while carefully typing on my keyboard. One wrong type, a program will take place that would swap the folder with a real porn files. It was one of the countermeasure that I put placed.
It's a simple program, but quite unbreakable If say so myself.
As I click on enter, a bunch of my supreme highly classified folders were then revealed. ORACLE, NANO, UNLIMITED POWA, Bits SSS, OZ, E-EELS, DINO, FAMILY, BUFF SHREK, FLDSMDFR, INCREDIBILE, NOCAPESUIT, ROLLOUT.
"These file names are golden Keke~" I uttered as I laughed stupidly.
"Let's see..." I muttered as I plugged in the hard drive that Pete gave me. "And now we have another data on the DINO folder."
