I had no time to think, I grabbed it, my old web shooters and my mask. I ran outside, Ben and May were asleep, Richard was probably still out. I ran to the garage and got into my car pulling out as fast as I could.
I drove a street over before I activated flight mode and turned on the AI, "Doc, check my phone, Liz Allen would have sent a location, fly to it."
"Understood," my car replied as it took off at max speed towards the location Liz sent.
"Oh, and go incognito," I told it as I took off my hoodie and put on the jacket and mask. The outside of the car shimmered as it turned from grey to pitch black and a holographic projection of a lamborghini spread over my DeLorean. I had it put in a long time ago, I figured if Spiderman and Peter had the same car things would look odd.
We reached there quickly, I squinted my eyes out and saw a trail of fire circling around the sky, Johnny.
And flying around with him was a man with large metal wings with spinning fans and a aviation helmet. The freaking Vulture! And in one of his robotic legs was Harry, screamign his fuckign lungs off.
"Doc take over, go on autopilot," I told it as I slipped on my web shooters and gloves. Doc took the car over the fight, I went to the door and pushed it open and looked down. I gulped, I'm so going to regret this.
I jumped out and threw my arms out wide. The vulture was right under me, I shot out two web lines that caught onto his wings.
"What the-" he looked up.
I pulled and hit him in the chest feet first, "yo birdy!"
"AH!" he cried out in pain, dropping Harry.
"I got him!" Johnny cried out going after Harry and flying him back to his house.
I clinged onto Vulture's body with my legs and hit him across the face over and over again. "So who're you?! Everyone's got a gimmick these days! Birdman?! Oh I know, the Flacon! Oh wait, I think that's taken!"
"Get off of me!" he cried out pulling out a gun and firing at me. I had to jump away to avoid the bullets, I knew I would heal, but still, at the time I didn't register it and acted out of instinct. I came flying down before I launched a web line upwards and caught his leg.
"Oh no you don't bird boy! You're coming with me!"
"You want to fly Spider?! Fine! Let's fly!" he cried out as he took off into the air. I held on for dear life as he went up higher and higher.
I growled and pulled myself up with shear strength. My muscles hurt from the stress I put into my arms, I need to hit the gym again. I pulled myself up and reached his feet. I needed to grab him, I needed to grab a hold of him.
And so I used them, the last gift Logan's blood gave to me.
Two bone claws popped out from between my knuckles and a third larger one came out from my wrist under arm. Three bone claws, or as I liked to call them, my stingers.
I lunged forward and pierced Vulture in the leg, cleaving into his muscles and bone. "ARGH!" he cried out, swinging wildly, my claws were into too deep, the more he shook the more pain they caused him.
"Get off of me!" he cried out as he began to dive down. The pain was too much for him. The ground was coming too fast, I need to pull him up.
But just then Johnny came flying in the nick of time. He grabbed the Vulture's arm and pulled him up, the suddenly jerk in movement dislodged my claws from Vulture's leg and went flying down with nothing to hold onto.
"Spider!" Johnny cried out.
But I really wasn't worried. Immediately Doc cam flying in, intercepting me. I landed on the roof of car causing a little dent. Hm, I'll need to take care of that.
Johnny saw that and sighed, he came flying down towards me with Vulture in tow. Immediately the man tried to escape and fly away, but Johnny's hands were hot, hot enough to melt his wings without even realising it.
The moment he struggled the wings snapped and he went falling. I sighed, "I got him," I shot out a web line and caught him by the chest and left him swinging around, attaching the web line to the roof of my car.
"Dude! You got claws!" Johnny cried out.
I sighed, "I'll explain later. Is everyone alright?"
"Yeah, everyone's fine. How did you know?" Johnny asked.
"Your girlfriend called me," I told him.
Johnny gulped as he rubbed his neck, "right, Liz...see about that-"
"-It's fine, trust me, she's a big girl, she can do whatever she wants," I told him.
"Really?" Johnny grinned, "thanks!"
"No problem," I only hope you'll be as forgiving when and if you ever find out about Sue and me...sigh. "Anyway, did anyone see me?"
"Ah, not really no," Johnny said before looking down, "I mean, other than him."
I sighed, "great...if anyone asks you tell them you caught him all by yourself, don't mention me."
"But why?" Johnny asked.
"I don't want them to think I'm back."
"But you are aren't you?" Johnny asked looking at my jacket, "isn't that why you're wearing that again?"
"No Johnny," I shook my head, "I'm not doing this...not again. Get bird man here to SHIELD or something, let them process him. I'm done with this shit."
"R-right," Johnny nodded as he took the Vulture and flew off, he burned off the web line on his back to hide the fact I was there, good thinking flame brain. I heard cheering coming from the party when he came back, they chanted his name. Good, they don't need to know about me.
I got back down into the driver's seat and had Doc fly us home. I looked at my right hand, the claws were still out. Bone, not metal. Sad, but whatever. The claws weren't like Logan's they were in fact very similar to Daken.
The half-asian boy had three claws just like mine, two from his knuckles and one from his forearm. He could also control people's pheromones, maybe because I already had that power in me it caused my claws to mutate to match his? Maybe.
I grunted in pain as they slowly went back into my forearm. I discovered them a month ago. I was in pain, I was taking it out on a steel beam I found in the abandoned train yard I used to go to for training before SHIELD came into the picture.
I remembered once I got so angry I grew into a frenzy. I saw red, I punched it as hard as I could, bending it slowly with my superior strength and then, they came out.
I was so focused I didn't realise they did. They popped out and I plunged them into the steel beam. They shredded it. I cried out in pain, the way they tore through my skin, I never realised Logan was always in such pain when using his claws.
They weren't just plain old bone, they were something else. They were black, so that sort of gave me a clue. I had Sue and my dad test them out, apparently it was nothing they had ever seen. I urged them strongly to never speak of this to anyone, especially Logan.
I sighed, it was a long flight back home. I looked at jacket sleeve, it was ripped to shreds, 'this is why I can't have nice things. Stupid claws.'
