Catching and surpassing the the school bus Peter races to arrive before them in an attempt to change in privacy and secretly blend into the crowd with the proportional stealth of a spider
Yes, almost there and early too, this HAS to be a new record! Go Team Spidey exclaimed the all too excited web-slinger
Yet, as if the universe sensing his good mood and determined to knock it down a peg or twenty, across town an explosion of mass proportions is heard near the New York City Banking District.
Nononononono.....NO!!! said the webhead tumbling down on a nearby building due to the shock, running to the edge of the rooftop to assess the giant black smoke cloud coming from one of the most densely populated places in New York, if not all of America
C'mon, I'm right here! Spidey says as he stands on top of a building just across the street from his school, where he can see the bus roll down the street.
Thousands of thoughts start bulldozing through his mind as he contemplates running off to save the day, that might not need saving, that might not need him.
Yeah....they don't need me do they, heck the Avengers are probably already there, Peter said to particularly no-one as if he was talking to someone they'd go "Hey Your SPIDER-MAN" and "You KNOW the Avengers aren't there, lest it involves one of there villains or a world ending threat, there more supermodels rather than superheroes".
Knowing what he has to do yet not knowing if he's strong enough to do it, Peter grumbles out a whine over the lost lab and the trouble he's going to get in over "saving the day"
Man, Aunt May is gonna kill me said Peter
Resigning to his fate he leaps off the side of the building and hopes he can end it before the start of the first period. Swinging over the tarmac and whizzing past the office district to check the time with its plethora of clocks he realizes he has 12 minutes before register.
"Alright 12 minutes.....12 minutes, I can do that, yeah just swing the 40 minute drive in less than 2, stop some unknown threat capable of creating havok and mass mayhem on an enormous scale (probably a madman with a grudge against online banking), save a hundreds of lives, then return at even faster at break neck speed, yeah i can totally do that, thought the webhead
Snap some photos for Jameson then make the trip back to school in less time than before. Not only that change and get to class before they finish roll call, yeah totally doable.....yeah totally." thought Spidey as he swung even faster to the epicentre of the explosion.
*Inside the bus*
Michelle Jones a suave African woman with red highlights in her naturally black hair watches in the distance as a red and blue blur sped toward the presumed explosion, probably going to save the day, yet even with the sight of the actual Superhero all MJ can wonder is where in the Kentucky fried hell is Peter Parker going, and how much trouble he's going to be in.
'Oh what'd you do now Parker' thought MJ solemnly
*3 minutes later*
"Alright I'm here," said Spider-man a little worn out, 1 minute later than foreseen due to the sudden appearance of a flock of pigeons which relentlessly assaulted the unwanted invader of the skies.
Next time I gotta account for pigeon factor when calculating, hmmm wonder if those pigeons were related to Howard's and are just getting revenge for their buddies re-capture, meh won't be the craziest thing that's happened to me like that time I.....
FOCUS PARKER, explosion, quick quip then save the day and then I can recall my feathery adventures with my avian friends.
As Spidey lept to the street lamp across the bank where the smoke was coming from and shots were being fired, he then aptly jumped into the smoke to see the cops shooting at thin air and getting shot at by one of their own who kept disappearing into the smoke and caused mass confusion and distrust amongst the men.
Spidey momentarily confused takes a moment to look closer at the rogue cops and can spot a few irregularities around them, mainly the thin barely visible haze of smokey green oozing off their bodies.
And even though they seem to be great in number, the rogues themselves haven't caused any significant damage and seem to be relying on the cops to damage themselves.
Spider-man man then recognized this type of destructive handiwork and fumed at the thought of the villain who caused this mess and how it was going to take longer than 6 minutes and 11 seconds to catch them.
Quentin!!!!!! DUDE I'll be real with you, I've got places to be and not a whole lot of time to trash your illusionistic buttox fish bowl head so if you come out with your hands up I'll keep the beat down to a minimum okay,
Hearing no response from the flames he sighs knowing this whole exchang was going to be a WHOLE lot longer than 5 minutes
BECK....still no response except the growing flames from inside the nearest bank.
Ughhhhhhhh!!!! Fine, MYSTERIO come out here and receive your A-grade butt whopping so I can go! Spider-man exclaims with a frustrated tone
After an awkward few seconds Spidey hears the distinct sound of crazy laughter in the air, vibrating throughout the street
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
YES IT IS I MYSTERIO, you're worst nightmare, the thing that keeps you up at night and....says Mysterio as he steps out of the probably fake fire and is flabbergasted at the sudden intteruptance of his eloquent entry
Yeah, yeah you say the same schpeel every time I catch you, you chrome dome wearing dummy, said Spidey cutting the villain off annoyed by the whole situation
Mysterio however did not even seem fazed by the situation as he lunged forward fully intent on engaging with his arachnid foe
As he weaved out of the fire towards his enemy and crashes into Spider-man hitting him with a gut punch then promptly turning into smoke when retaliated against
Spidey in full battle mode now stands deathly still in a battle ready crouch waiting for Mysterio to emerge and looking through the smoke he tries focusing on finding Mysterio with his heightened senses.
As he stands there his Spidey Sense warns him of danger from behind and sees a regular seeming cop rushing him from behind, and Spider-man in all his glorious wisdom believes the cop is there to help him with the threat only to get sucker punched in the face with more strength than any old donut muncher could dream of.
OWW!!! exclaimed spidey as he flew back through the smoke and firmly ate the tarmac with his mask
As Spidey slowly gets up he sees the same cop rushing him from the smoke," Dang what are they putting in your coffee nowadays?, I mean that actually almost hurt", Spider-man says as a way to belittle the man's strength and throw a quip in the same sentence
What the heck boys in blue, I thought we were cool said Spider-man admittedly miffed about the surprise knuckle sandwich and continued assault
Ahh, you see that's where your wrong Bug, where you shine brightly in the sun I scurry in the shadows you create, I am no retarded super cop but am the bane of your existence, your worst nightmare...
Gobby? cut Spider-man
What NO.
Venom?
No....
OHHH, Sand..
NOOOOOO!!!!!!
I am the CHAMELEON YOUR ARCH-NEMESIS
Chameleon? questioned spidey as he racked his internal memory of villains whilst dodging the incoming flurry of blows
Sorry dude never heard of you, maybe your one of Johnny's villains you guys get us mixed up alot on the case of me being so bright and a major hotie
Noooo. growls the Chameleon as he starts to get frustrated by the lack of connecting blows and the mouth of the scarlet web slinger
Ohh!!! NOW I remember you, your that dude whose good at disguises right, hate to break it to you dude you ain't even on the top 15 bad guy list, what you doing with old fish bowl head anyway usually your always solo acts? questioned Spider-man.
Well, If know gets you to shut up after I escaped the raft we decided to meet up for brunch and talk after we realized we go GREAT together we then went out to cause mass mayhem throughout the day. Chameleon said with his voice laced sarcasm
...really? said Spider-man
No you dolt we were hired to rob the bank and create a little confusion and mayhem, the chance to kill you is just an extra bonus.
OK then enough out of you Spidey says as he shoots a web in the direction of one of the officers as he believes he has Mysterio found, yet the web harmlessly passes through him in a puff of smoke
Really thought I'd be that easy to find you annoying arachnid? Mysterio's voice rang out through the battlefield of west avenue
No, just trying and failing to make this quick. Spider-man said as he ran up a nearby skyscraper and got out the fog of smoke, completely ignoring Chameleon
The police looked at him with worry as they all thought," Did Spider-man just BAIL?!
Come back here you Masked Menace!!!!!! scram Chameleon. Mysterio immediately flew up towards Spider-man thinking he has him on the run and at the exact moment he flew above his smoke screen Spidey was already falling through the air and tackled him mid ascent.
Hey QB, taking the express way down? Exclaimed the wall-crawler calmly as he crashed with the villain towards the ground and after a moment of free fall Spider-man came through the smoke once more and bashed Mysterio into the street, basically fusing him with tar and promptly knocking the villain and maybe a couple of teeth out.
With Mysterio knocked out the smoke slowly began to dissipate and reveal a banged up but NOT on fire bank street, with everyone besides the few shot cops sustaining minor damage with no life threatening injuries
After Spidey stuck Mysterio to floor for extra measure he then proceeded to run off into the crew of cops straight at Chameleon and deck him at 20 mph.
The other cops confused as they hadn't known the full situation with Chameleon just yet pointed their guns at the webhead hoping he was just confused with the smoke and not mind controlled as that ended badly for everyone.
Wait, wait, WAIT, He's a Bad Guy check the mask, said spidey as he flayed his arms around to show his apprehension to getting shot.
Chameleon whose still partially conscious barely managed to squeeze out "How...."
Sorry usually I'd explain how I hit you with a tracker at the beginning of the fight when you punched me but I'm in an extraordinary rush and can't do our usual back and forth today, next time though I promise to give you a full genuine Spider-man butt-kicking experience. Said Spider-man in his most genuine voice
See ya big boys in blue he said as he shot off in a streak of red.
Wow, what's with the rush, exclaimed on of the officers
Didn't you hear him he saud busy. Said another officer
Okay but busy with what, it's like 7 in the morning.
6:57 actually.
Whatever, I mean like does Spider-man work a 9 to 5 or he late to go hibernate or something
Bugs don't hibernate
Arachnids actually
Oh, That you know! The officers continued to bicker back and forth on what Spider-man could actually be doing in the time he's not kicking serious butt.
As Spidey swung away blissfully ignorant of the squabble he left behind, the one thought racing through his head is...
OH Man, I'm SO getting thise lab privileges taken away.
Far away in the middle of Central Park small orange and blue sparks start to form mid air as a figure watches from a far
{They're almost here} said the being as he watched the impromptu light show, {But they're not here YET} says the being with otherworldly conviction.
{ I have to give him more time} said the figure as he clapped his hands and produced a stasis bubble of time effectively freezing the sparks mid air and all surrounding bug life, blocking off that area of the park from the rest of the world and
{Godspeed Spider-man, I hope your ready for the crisis to come}
