Volume II: Super Evolution
----------
[Recently there has been a great increase in explosions around the city. The police has reported that a hidden crime syndicate is very likely to be involved.]
*tap*
A finger pressed on the remote and the channel on the television changed to another News Channel.
[...Reports have shown that the superhero vigilante popularly known as Ultron has helped brought the crime rate in New York City to an all time low. But still many critics are coming up to say-]
*tap*
[...So let us hear what this eye witness has to say about the incident.]
["Yeah, so it was like nothing I've ever seen. Flames filled the entire bus when that teenager began to scream and then while I thought I was going to get burnt and closed my eyes I felt a wave of coldness and when I opened my eyes again I saw that all around me was ice…"]
*tap*tap*tap*
The finger kept tapping on the remote button constantly changing channels until it got to one new channel in particular whose subject of discussion picked his interest.
[Billionaire Genius Inventor, Tony Stark will be launching the Stark Expository tomorrow. Many bright minds from all over the world has booked their seats already. The place is expected to surpass even the reputation of Silicon Valley and maybe you can't even do a comparison of-]
"Hmm, Tony Stark huh? Genius? He is just a shameless fellow." A rough male voice spoke at this time and then he turned off the TV in anger.
'I'll show you Tony.'

"Peter Parker!"
"Huh?" A young man turned around as he heard his name only to see his chubby best friend running towards him feeling a bit breathless.
"I've been calling you for a while now and you weren't answering. What's up with you bro?!" Ned held his knees as he arrived before Peter.
"I think I need to work out more," he said between deep breaths.
"Did you work out previously?" Peter asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You said that you need to work out more. You used the word more, that would mean you have been working out before now. But how come I never noticed," Peter smiled slightly.
When Ned heard the sarcasm in Peter's voice he stood up straight, "Of course I've been working out! What would you call the ten minute walk from the school's entrance to call huh?"
"Oh, I guess you might be right. Anyway, class is over I need to get home. There's something I have to help my Aunt May with, bye," Peter rushed away as soon as he said that.
"Hey wait! Peter! You didn't even answer my question!"
Ned shook his head, feeling a bit dissapointed.
"Plus, we had plans to play Dark Souls today, tch," he muttered.
"Was that Peter?"
"Hah!" Ned got startled by the sudden voice behind him.
"Oh, its you. Um, yeah."
"What is it? Did I startle you?"
"What? Me? Startled? Nah, I was just a bit jumpy from…um… exercising, yeah. That's right, exercising." Ned lean on the nearest wall and tried to act cool.
"Oh you work out, I had no idea. But now that I look at you closely, you do indeed seem fit," The girl smiled.
"Oh really?!" Ned got excited and then noticed that his reaction was a bit off and then he 'tried' to compose himself.
"Um, its nothing. Anyway why are you looking for Peter?" he asked.
It couldn't be helped, seeing one of the prettiest girls in asking about his friend is surprising to Ned.
"Nothing, um I needed help with an assignment Mrs Martins gave me. She also recommended asking Peter if I have trouble with it. So if you do see him, please let him know, I would appreciate the help."
"Oh, I get it, sure no probs. I'll tell him."
"Okay, thanks a lot Ned. See you around, Bye." She smiled sweetly and then walked away.
"Yeah, sure."
After this Ned was left alone to his thoughts.
"Did the Sun rise from the North today? What the hell is going on?" He wondered.
'Ever since we came back from the Tour at Oscorp he has been acting strange after he called in sick. Shoot even Miles has been missing for a while.'
After some time he made a decision.
"I think I would visit them at their homes directly. First stop, Miles Morales."

Within his secret base, Tony held a bag of chips in his hands as he walked down a corridor that led to a giant vault door.
Immediately he got close to the vault, a tiny piece of technology separated itself from his clothing and latched unto the vault door and then a voice spoke.
[Identity confirmed. Welcome Mr. Stark.]
The door opened and Tony walked in while picking and chewing.
"Alright M.A.R.V.E.L, status report."
[Right away Sir. So according to you instructions, the highest priority task, has been completed successfully.]
[PROJECT SUPER EVOLUTION is now only missing the final ingredient.]
