SPIDER-MAN 4
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the rights to Spider-Man or any characters involved. All rights and characters are owned by Marvel. This is mainly for entertainment. This is basically the next chapter in the Raimi Spider-Man films, or what I would have liked to see. Anyways, enjoy and please leave reviews.
"WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!"
"Look, it's Spider-Man!"
All the people down below looked up immediately. Some clapped. Others cheered. Most just stared in awe at the red-and-blue figure swinging high above their heads. There was no doubt that it was an amazing sight.
Peter Parker just smiled underneath his mask. They've never loved me as much as they do now, he thought. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
He shot another web line from his left wrist. This was probably his favorite part. The swinging. He was as free as a bird up here, darting in between buildings and alleys. He could go wherever he wanted or do whatever he wanted. There was no one who could stop him, which made it even better.
"YEEEEEHAAAAAA!"
Suddenly he felt a slight buzzing in the back of his head. Uh-oh, my spider-sense is acting up. What's the problem?
He looked down below him to see a long line of police cars chasing two muscle cars. Each muscle car had men shooting out of the windows at the police.
That looks like trouble! I better get down there!
Peter started free falling to the street below. When he got low enough, he shot another web line. The momentum from the falling made him propel forward with great speed. He soon caught up to the first muscle car.
"It's the spider! Waste 'em!"
A huge wave of bullets started being fired in Peter's direction. Peter, with his super acrobatics, was able to dodge every one of them. He landed on the roof of the first car and shot web balls at the men with guns, knocking them back long enough for Peter to yank their guns away. Next, Peter shot multiple webs at buildings and attached them all to the car, stopping it almost instantly.
"That's one down."
Peter webbed the criminals from car #1 up and took off to immobilize the next car. As he swung, he felt the buzzing at the back of his head again.
What now?
He watched as one of the members of car #2 pulled out a rocket launcher and fired a rocket in Peter's general direction. Peter dodged it, but couldn't stop it from exploding into the side of a building. Debris from the explosion rained down onto the street below. One giant chunk of wall started to plummet to the ground, and Peter saw an elderly couple who would be crushed if they didn't move. Peter didn't hesitate to act. He swung towards the couple, grabbed them, and got them out of the way just in time.
"Are you two okay?" he asked them.
"Oh, why yes! Thank you, Spider-Man! God bless you!" replied the woman. The man, however, did not answer. He just scowled at Peter. "You could have killed us! Who the hell do you think you are?" shouted the man.
"You're friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!" replied Peter. Gee, what's this guy's problem?
"Jameson is right about you! You're a menace!" growled the man.
"Well, see ya!" said Peter as he swung away. He couldn't just stand there and be scolded by some ungrateful, cranky old man. He had to stop the crooks in the car.
As he swung, he remembered he was supposed to meet Dr. Connors at New York University soon. Dr. Connors was Peter's brilliant physics professor. Peter loved learning from Connors because he didn't only specialize in physics; he was also an incredible chemist and biologist. Peter admired his teacher greatly and didn't want to disappoint him again.
I have to stop this chase! I can't let Dr. Connors down again!
Peter threw his body weight into each swing in order to go as fast as he could possibly go. He soon was dodging more bullets and rockets, which he made sure didn't destroy any more buildings. A few minutes later, he had dealt with the car and was on his way to meet Dr. Connors.
Dr. Connors look down at his watch. It was 3:02. Peter is already late. I can't have him be my assistant anymore if he can't be more responsible.
Connors just frowned. He would have to continue his work by himself until Peter showed up, if he showed up at all. He realized that it would be a lot more work, but if he was going to make a difference in the world, he would have to deal with it.
It doesn't help that I only have one arm.
Connors looked at his right arm, or at least where his right arm should have been. He just sighed and looked away. It made him depressed to think about it, since the arm constantly reminded him of the war. Connors was a medic on the front lines, and while riding in a Humvee, an IED blow up and destroyed the car. Connors barely escaped, and had to amputate his own arm until helped arrived.
"Dr. Connors!"
The doctor turned around to see Peter Parker running through the door of the lab. He smiled. You can always count on Parker to be late.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Dr. Connors. There was a... uh... disturbance."
"Peter, just try your best not to let it happen again."
Peter nodded. "So what are we doing today?" he asked.
"Well, we need to try and find the algorithm for the decay rate. If we can't find that, then the effects of any regeneration won't be permanent, which obviously isn't what we want."
"Well, how to we go about finding the algorithm? We don't have the basis for any equations and we don't know what parts of the lizard DNA we need."
"We need to find a way to isolate the mitochondria and ribosomes of any lizards cell. The mitochondria will create energy for the ribosomes, which will create the proteins needed for more cells to be created exponentially, thus letting the limbs grow back. We need to transfer this ability into humans somehow."
Peter thought about it for a while. "Do you have any idea what the decay rate algorithm could be or what could be in it?"
Connors just sighed. "No. That's why I need your help, Peter. You're my best student and I can't figure it out alone. I just want to make a difference in this world. I want to give everyone without limbs another chance. Eventually, I want to give not only people without limbs, but everyone with an abnormality or disability another chance. I want to be the man who cures all human defects."
Peter couldn't help but stare in awe. This man is going to change the world and I'm his assistant!
Suddenly he felt the buzzing at the back of his skull again. Damn it, Spider Sense. Not now!
Peter was mad. He didn't want to leave now, but he needed to go. Last time he let a crime go unnoticed, his uncle paid the ultimate price by being killed. He learned from his uncle that with great power also comes great responsibility, and he had to live up to that. Peter grabbed his bag and ran out the door.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Connors! I have to go!" he stated as he bolted out the back door into an alley. He ripped of his clothes and pulled his mask on. Then he swung away.
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading my first chapter! It was a blast to write, and hopefully it was a blast to read. I'll definitely try to update as often as possible, but school may get in the way of that. Please, leave reviews. I want to know how accurate this is to the Raimi films, and if all goes well, I may continue writing more stories based off of the Raimi films. Thank you again. See you soon!
