Spider-Man Rising
Chapter One
Spider-Man woke up, chained up. His arms were chained upward in the shape of a 'V'. His legs were free. He shook his head. His mask was on the floor in front of him. His costume was cut in certain places. Spider-Man looked around as his vision came back to him. He looked over to his right and saw a small table with small tools with blood on them. There was also a gun laying on top of the tools. Spider-Man pulled his arms with all his strength but the chains didn't budge. He stopped for two minutes and regained his strength. He pulled and broke the chains with ease. He tossed them aside and pulled his mask on his face. He walked up to the double doors in front of him. His spider sense went off and he stepped back. A man in a hoody came through the door holding a bat.
"He's awake!" He yelled through the doors. He swung the bat and Spider-Man barely missed it. He punched him and kneed him in the gut. He tripped him and pushed him along the floor. The next guy had a knife. Another two came from behind. Spider-Man back flipped and kicked one of them forward into the guy with the knife. He punched the next guy in the face. A fourth guy got him in a headlock and took his mask off and chucked it. Spider-Man head-butted him in the nose and he released the grip and cradled his broken nose.
Spider-Man went to shoot a web at the next guy, but his web shooters had been taken. Someone hit him in the chest with a bat. He punched him and took the bat. He hit the guy coming at him and he went down. The last guy with the knife looked at him for about five seconds. Spider-Man moved forward and the man screamed and ran as fast as he could out of the double doors. Spider-Man heard him screaming all the way down the hall.
"We know who you are, Peter." A man on the floor said to him.
Spider-Man looked at the table with the bloody instruments. Spider-Man rubbed a bandage wrapped around his stomach under his costume. "What happened?"
"There are riots on the streets. I don't know why, there've been a few rumors." He told him.
"Why am I here? What happened to me?" Spider-Man asked him.
"That's a secret."
Spider-Man grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him against the wall. "Tell me!"
"Okay!" He sounded scared.
"Kingpin wanted to find," He was shot in the head. Spider-Man dropped him and turned around. A man in a hoody already started running. He shot three times while not even looking and Spider-Man dodged all of them. He ran at him. Spider-Man grabbed his mask on the way out.
He ran at the man and tackled him. His hood came down.
"Adrian Toomes." Spider-Man said from behind the mask.
"Spider-Man," He replied. "If I had come earlier I would have your secret identity by now."
"What's going on and what does this have to do with Kingpin?" Spider-Man asked him.
"I'm not going to say anything." Adrian laughed.
Spider-Man punched him softly so he didn't pass out.
"Ouch." Adrian kept laughing.
"Tell me!" Spider-Man roared.
Adrian kept laughing.
"You're going to jail for murdering someone." Spider-man told him.
"I don't think me going to jail will matter." Adrian laughed.
Spider-Man pushed him all the way to the exit. He pushed the door open and they were in an alley. They walked up the alley and looked at the streets. Building were on fire. Cars were crashed. People were running everywhere.
"What the hell happened?" Spider-Man asked Toomes.
"He happened." Adrian pointed to a large TV which was partially smashed. It was halfway out of a computer store. The picture on the television was blurry and Spider-Man had to stare at it for a while. The Kingpin's face blurred on and off the TV.
"So what has Kingpin done? What's he want with me?" Spider-Man asked.
"Nothing." Adrian laughed.
Spider-Man grabbed him and shoved him against the wall.
"He wanted nothing!" Adrian laughed again.
"If you're lying, I will find you." Spider-Man punched him and let him fall to a sitting position.
Spider-Man jogged up the stairs of the apartment building. He encountered dead bodies and smashed windows. He reached the door to his apartment and it was wide open.
"Hello!?" Spider-Man called out. No answer.
He went into his room and it looked like it had been searched. He took off his mask and tossed it on the bed.
He looked in the drawers on the floor. His spare web shooters lay on the top of the pile of clothing. He grabbed them and put them on.
He heard a bump in the lounge room. He pulled his mask over his face and slowly walked out of the room. He heard a familiar scream and ran out. Mary Jane stood at the door.
"Peter!" She screamed. She hugged him. "Where've you been!? What were you doing?" She asked him.
"I…I don't know. I woke up chained in a room. I've been stabbed, but I don't remember anything."
"What do you remember?" She asked him.
"I remember having a fight with," Spider-Man rubbed his head and took his mask off. "..With someone."
"It was Kraven." She said.
"I was fighting Kraven and he had a syringe. He injected it into me." Spider-Man rubbed his shoulder.
"Pete?" She said to him. He looked at her. "That was four days ago."
He sat on the couch. "So what happened?"
She shut the door and locked it.
"Peter there were breakouts. Jailbreaks." She said to him.
"So that's why men are running around and trashing the place? What does this have to do with me or Kingpin?" He asked her.
"The jailbreak happened in two prisons." She said.
"What prisons?" He stood up.
"Bombs were set up in the walls. Most of them escaped." She told him. "Peter, the breakouts happened on Ryker's Island and the Ravencroft Institute."
"Oh. Well that's no good is it?" Spider-Man looked down. "Not all of them escaped?"
"Only some of them got of Ryker's Island. The Avengers and X-Men suppressed most of them. While they were doing that, Ravencroft had the same thing happen. Kraven injected you and Vulture took you away."
"Oh. May I ask how you know this?" He asked her.
"Kraven was coming for me."
A mini-earthquake shook them. Rhino smashed through the wall and fell through the floor.
"You need to go." He told her.
"Yeah, I'll fly out!" She yelled at him.
Spider-Man grabbed her and threw her out of the window. He spun a web below her and she stuck to it.
Spider-Man looked down through the hole. His spider sense went off and he moved back as Rhino jumped up and roared at him. The floor started to crack. Spider-Man stuck a web to the wall behind Rhino. He swung into him and he fell through the large hole. Spider-Man stopped briefly at each floor to make sure no one was trapped. They had all already escaped. Rhino climbed out of the floor and faced Spider-Man. He roared. Again.
Spider-Man shot a web at his face. "Shut up." Spider-Man swung into him and he fell. Rhino tore the web from his face and put his head down. His horn faced Spider-Man. He charged. Spider-Man's head rung with spider sense telling him to move. He dived to the right and Rhino ran out the wall. The building started to collapse.
"Here Rhino!" Spider-Man patted his thighs like Rhino was a dog.
Rhino charged and hit the other wall. He bounced back as it collapsed.
"Not the best idea, I just lost my apartment." Spider-Man said as he swung out of the building as it collapsed onto Rhino.
Spider-Man jumped into the web he had made for Mary Jane.
She was gone.
"Mary Jane!" Spider-Man called. No answer. His spider sense went off and he turned around. A pumpkin bomb landed in front of him. It exploded and Spider-Man went flying.
