Chapter 1: The Shockingly Weird Time!
It was a peaceful day in New York City, we find ourselves in the Queens area where we see a young man with neatly groomed brown hair, icy blue eyes and Caucasian skin. This was Peter Benjamin Parker, he was also known as the Ultimate Spider-Man, a superhero who protected New York form every one of his enemies, even if some of the public was against him. He was starting his Senior Year in High School, right now he was walking up to the front door of his house, he got his key out, unlocked the door and went inside. Peter was also the leader of a team of teenage superheroes known as the Web-Warriors. One of the members, Ben Riley, the Scarlet Spider was once a good ally, but he was really a spy for Peter's nemesis, Doctor Octopus. But that was because he used him like he was one of his Octobots, Ben even told Ock Spider-Man's real name. But in the end, Scarlet did the right thing by crashing the HYDRA Island base into the harbor, and saved everyone again when Ghost Spider, Goliath Spider and Bones Spider (the Spider Slayers) surfaced and merged with the untested Project: KAINE, which was uncovered by the newest member: Spider-Woman by sacrificing himself to stop them and dying in the process.
(A/N: I made up the part about Ben Riley sacrificing himself to stop the Spider Slayers. My Co-Writer came up with the idea of having it be Peter and his friends' senior year in high school and having it take place after Graduation Day.)
"Hey, Aunt May, I'm home!" he called out, he turned his head to the side and saw some big suitcases. "Um, what's with the luggage standing in front of the door?"
It is then that he is met by a woman with short silver hair and pewter eyes that looked like she was in her forties. This was May Parker, Peter's Aunt and legal guardian. She had been watching over him after his parents disappeared and his Uncle Ben died. Peter got his powers when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, and he thought he could use his powers to make money, but realized it was a selfish thing to do when he finished a wrestling match he was entered in. The fight promoter got robbed and that same robber killed his uncle. It was then that he remembered his uncle's words, 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility'. He never forgot those very words.
"I'm going on a trip with some friends of mine. Remember?" she asked her nephew.
"Oh yeah. You did." Peter nearly forgot that his aunt was going on a vacation. "But for how long?"
"I'll be out for a while dear. So you have the entire house to yourself."
Peter was not sure what to make of this whole thing. "Are you sure about that?" he asked. "I mean this is the start of my Senior Year in High School."
"I know Peter, but I haven't been on a road trip since forever ago." May responded to her nephew, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Besides I'm sure that you'll have everything under control while I'm gone."
Peter began to think about it carefully. "Okay, if you say so." he accepted.
"Although you can help me with my luggage because the taxi is here." she pointed as they both saw a taxi cab outside the house.
"Sure thing Aunt May."
Peter the grabbed a few of his Aunt's suitcases and loaded them up into the taxi's trunk. May took the rest and loaded them into the same place as her nephew opened the door for her.
"Well, Peter. I'm off." May said, as she got into the cab. "You take care of the city while I'm gone okay? And also take care of the house and do some chores for me." she asked Peter. "I'll call you when I arrive just to check on you and you call me too. And either call me or leave me a text to let me know that you'll be out of town to do what you do best."
"I will Aunt May." Peter replied. "It might be challenging, but I think I'll manage. Not to brag or anything."
May raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. "Alright, but your official curfew is when you're finished with your crime fighting activities." she said. "Because besides that, I also want you to focus on school since it's your Senior Year. Okay?"
"Roger that, Aunt May!" Peter said, confirming what he'll do. "You have fun."
"I will dear." May said, as she rolled the window down. "Take care."
The taxi began to move away from the house. "Bye!" Peter waved to his aunt.
"Goodbye Peter!" May waved back, biding her nephew farewell.
Peter walked back inside his house, set his backpack down on the couch and pumped his fist in excitement. "YES! YES! YES! WHOO!" he whooped and hollered with joy. "I GOT THE HOUSE TO MYSELF! Which means that..." he thought about having a party, but then he dismissed it. "Wait just a minute. Now I remember." he said. "The last time that happened, Nick Fury had a security camera installed to spy on me in order to keep me under surveillance." It was true. The last time this happened, a security system went haywire and nearly killed Peter and his allies from when he started working for Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division, S.H.I.E.L.D. for short and their Director: Nick Fury. In his thoughts, "Well to play it safe, I'll be watching TV for a while before I go do some crime fighting as your friendly neighborhood Ultimate Spider-Man." Peter then went over to find the remote for his TV. "Although I got the house to myself, it's kinda bittersweet without a girlfriend." he felt down about not having someone to go on a date with, but quickly shook it off. "Oh well, I might as well see if Dragon Ball Super has a new episode today." he then found the remote and turned the TV on to check if a show he liked was on, but it showed a man with a Adolf Hitler-styled mustache dressed in a suit and an angry stare on his face. This was J. Jonah Jameson, and as usual, he was on another one of his Anti-Spider-Man rants. He was always trying to run our hero out of town, but he chose to stay. "Aw, vomit buckets, it's old picklepuss on the air again." he complained. "What's he gonna say now?"
"This is J. Jonah Jameson of Daily Bugle Communications reporting." the Hitler-stached man started off with his broadcast. "Lately I've been getting a bunch of hate comments about myself. But, that's not why I'm reporting!" he pointed out. "Ever since the last battle between Doctor Octopus and the Sinister 6, along with the obliteration of the Oscorp building, before summertime of this year, the masked menace known as Spider-Man continued to be more popular with the people of New York than the Avengers, X-Men and the Fantastic Four combined while he continued to commit crimes and caused a series of incidents that did more harm than good!" he said in rage. "I swear, AM I THE ONLY NEWS MAN IN THIS CITY THAT REALIZES WHAT A MENACE THAT WEB HEAD IS!?"
This made Peter so enraged, he slammed his fist on the coffee table. "Hey, I resent that remark you moronic son of a bitch!" he commented back, even though J.J. could not hear him. "That's the biggest load of horse crap I've ever heard from your hitlerstache covered jaw!"
"No matter how many times Spider-Man tries to "save the day", HE WILL ALWAYS BE A CRIMINAL! HE WILL BE ARRESTED, BE SENT BEHIND BARS AND THE WORLD WILL VIEW HIM AS PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE!" Jameson pounded his fist on the desk.
Feeling irritated, Peter changed the channel to find the show he wanted to watch. "Spare me your ignorant bullshit, chump." he said, taking a deep breath and blowing out. "I got better shows to watch anyway. Like Dragon Ball Super for instance!" Peter then found the episode that was on right now.
He then looked down and mumbled to himself, "One day, every single word you said about me will come back to haunt you, scar you for life and cost you everything. But untill then, I'll wait and keep being a hero and rub it in your ugly brained face!" he said bitterly and let out a sigh of grief.
Elsewhere, we see a couple of teenage boys being cornered in an alleyway by a guy in a ski mask, who was holding a gun. But little did the mugger know, someone was about to halt his scheme. The two boys were a little frightened, but one of them was doing all he could to be brave.
"Alright you little punks! Hand over the money and everything you got right now!" the mugger demanded.
"Up yours asshole!" the youngest of the boys shot back, while the oldest had a dismissive look on his face denoting that he did not like the word he said. But he let it slide.
The mugger scoffed as he pointed his gun at him. "Your funeral you little shit!"
The older boy blocked the mugger from trying to shoot the younger boy. "Hey! If you're gonna shoot us, start with me!" he warned. "Leave my little brother out of this!" he revealed that the little one with him was his younger brother.
"Fine with me." the mugger said in a callous manner, "Cuts down on my time." he clicked the safety off and was about to pull the trigger, but there was a silent thud.
"Or you can pick on somebody your own size." said a voice that sounded feminine in origin. The mugger turned around and the boys saw who was standing there behind their attacker and the both had a gaped smile on their faces while the mugger looked freaked. In front of them was Caucasian woman with long red hair that went down her back and stopped at her rear, green eyes and was dressed in a skintight black outfit that had gold gauntlets around her wrists and a gold belt with an hourglass logo on it as the top of the costume showed her cleavage. This was Natasha Romanoff, the deadly Black Widow. She is a freelance agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes: the Avengers. Her and Spider-Man teamed up several times when the Avengers needed him.
"What? Ah! Y-You're...Black Widow!?" the mugger said in shock and surprise.
"In the flesh." Natasha responded. She then aimed her gauntlets at the mugger, but he then fired his gun only for Widow to jump over him, spin him around and aim her arm at him. "Normally I don't do this kind of thing, but since you like to mug these two young men I'll take that as an exception." punched him in the eye then the side of the face. Next she sweep-kicked him to the ground and placed her foot on his chest.
The mugger then got an idea to implement. He then grabbed her leg, threw her off, grabbed his gun again and pointed his gun at the boys again. "Now's my chance to take you out if you don't give me your money and everything you got!" he threatened, only for Widow to get to her feet and kicked him the back of his neck. "Fuck!" he winced in pain, causing the boys to find a place to hide. "That whore..." he did not finish his sentence when Widow slapped the mugger in the face and took his mask off to show his scruffy face. He had matched a wanted poster for a man who was responsible for double murder, fleeing the scene of the crime and assault and battery. And finally she gave him a karate chop to the neck, knocking him out.
"Sexist pig. When will scum like you ever learn?" she turned away from him to check on the boys who had gotten out of the alley way and hid behind a black car. "Are you two boys okay?" she asked in a kind manner.
The boys nodded yes, "Thanks Black Widow!" the younger boy let out a breath of relief as he hugged her, making her blush. "That guy was mugging the two of us in that alley!"
"Yeah, you're awesome!" the older boy said, clicking his tongue.
Widow smiled at them, "Thanks. I get that a lot." She then noticed that the boys were gawking at her breasts, but she shook her head and said to them, "Okay, how about you two boys stop staring at my chest and come with me so I can call your parents and tell them that I'll take you two home."
The boys nodded and looked at each other in unison. "Yeah, that's a good idea." the boys said in unison.
"Good, now let's go." Widow said, getting the boys in the black car they hid behind. They had no idea it was her ride and it took off into the air. The boys were stunned to see the car flying, and smiled with delight.
The younger sibling looked up at his brother. "Dude, she's hot." he whispered.
"I know right little bro?" the older one whispered back. "Plus, she has a very nice rack."
"Yeah, and a firm butt."
"I heard that." she said, turning her head around at the boys.
"Sorry!" the brother apologized, making her smirk.
In her thoughts, Widow said, "Geez, my body has that effect on every boy I've met. Especially these two behind me. Oh well, it's not that much of a big deal to me." she continued to drive looked up the address and zoomed right over to their house. By the time Widow arrived at the boy's house, they exited the car, Widow went up to the front door, knocked and the boy's mother answered it.
"Hello? Who is...oh, it the famed Black Widow from the Avengers." the mother said. "W-w-w-what brings you here today?"
Widow folded her arms, "Well, I brought these boys of yours here because they were almost mugged by a guy with a ski mask on." she showed the boys she brought with her. "But I took care of the mugger and had the police take him to jail. Your sons are safe and sound, ma'am."
"Yeah, you should've seen her kicking the guy in the ski mask's rear end!" the younger boy said as the mother pulled them both in and embraced them.
"Oh, my babies! I'm glad you're both alright!" she said, feeling relieved to see them okay.
"Aw Mom!" the boys sighed in unison.
"You had me worried when that robber nearly mugged you both." the mom said before she broke the hug and pulled them closer to her face. "But, if you two scare me like that again, you're both grounded!" she said firmly.
"It was his fault, Mom!" the younger brother said pointing his finger at the older brother in protest.
"Shut up, you little shrimp!" the older brother countered. "I told you to stay behind me when he was about to mug us!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
This argument made Widow facepalm herself as she looked away. However the mother was not amused "Quiet!" she snapped at them, making her husband bug eyed. "You two are getting a spanking right now!"
Widow was about to leave, but decided to give the mother a tip. "Oh, and ma'am before I go, I would strongly recommend that these boys of yours shouldn't check out the body of women like me until their older." she relayed.
"Oh, that's okay." the mother replied. "That's just the normal behavior of the average teenage boy. They can't help themselves."
"Okay, if you say so." Widow said. "I'm off."
"Thank you, Ms. Widow!" the mother said as the woman and the black catsuit went back to her car. "Keep up the good fight!"
"I will!" Widow said. As she got back into her car, she saw the mother pulling her son's by the ear, back inside the house, things turned bittersweet for her when the sight of that reminded her of her old family that died back in Russia when she was a child. She took to the air and zoomed over to work on her combat skills like she always does.
Later at the Parker Residence, Peter was hyped about the next episode of Dragon Ball Super, and about the new episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel, but then there was a beeping sound coming from the kitchen. He raced over to what was making it and he saw a red device beeping.
"My S.H.I.E.L.D. watch is beeping. I wonder what's going on?" he said, as he picked it up and looked at the message on it. "Oh, Doc Connors sent me a message. Shocker is back again and he's hired a new gang to rain something from the warehouse. Really?" he said as he read it. "Oh well, it's time to get to the bottom of it and take down Shocker again." he got off the couch and went upstairs. "At least my day is getting interesting after Aunt May left to be out of town for a while. It was getting boring after Dragon Ball Super went off. Although the Goku characters reminded me of myself, except that I was bitten by a radioactive Spider."
Peter went over to his closet and pulled out a red and blue costume that had cobwebs on the red parts and black spider logo on the chest, while on the back was a big red spider logo. He put the bottoms on, then the top and the boots and gloves and last was his mask that had white lenses and black trimmings around them. Spider-Man zoomed right out of the back door shot a web-line out of his wrist and went over to the scene of the crime.
(The World Is Yours by Nas plays)
In his thoughts, Spidey said, "It's been a month since I've been the Ultimate Spider-Man, swingin' on the streets of New York. Not to mention that I went on vacation to Miami with Luke, Danny, Ava, Sam, MJ, Harry, Miles, Flash, Amadeus, Doreen Green who happens to be the real name of Squirrel Girl, Tyrone Johnson and Tandy Bowen who happen to be the real names of Cloak and Dagger while Ka-Zar and Zabu visited the Savage Land and he already got into a relationship with a jungle girl named Shanna The Jungle Queen. I mean, wow. Ka-Zar and Shanna are like the modern day Tarzan and Jane or in any case George and Ursala. I know, cartoons right? Anyway, I gotta find out what Shocker is stealing from the warehouse." he then zoomed on past a building where a woman saw him swing by. He shot a cobweb in the the shape of a heart at the window, making the woman blush and giggle with delight. As he swung by he landed on a rooftop. "I bet it was a deadly weapon inside it." he mumbled as he zip-lined over to another building. And when he landed, he saw the warehouse that Shocker's group was raiding. "Now to investigate."
Spidey went on over to the warehouse, went into the front door and then something tingled in his head. "Uh oh, Spider Sense tingling." he turned around and heard footsteps approaching. "Someone's coming." Spidey jumped up to a secure place where he could stay hidden until the time would be right. In to the warehouse walked several goons with guns. "Looks like Shocker didn't waste any time in hiring his own group of thugs to do his dirty work for him. I'll see if I can get these guys to talk."
Spidey crept around, looking for a way to take them by surprise. The goons were startled by the sounds they heard outside and inside the warehouse.
"Hey, what was that?" the first goon said as he and another one looked around.
"Bah, It's just the wind." the second goon said, making his partner sneer.
"What do you mean the wind?" goon number 1 said, feeling ticked a little bit. "I haven't heard the sound of the wind!"
Just then a third goon walked up to them. "Wait a minute fellas. Did you ever have the feeling like you was being watched?"
"What the hell you talkin' 'bout?"
"Eh, he's probably just watchin' Looney Tunes again."
"No, I'm telling ya! Somebody's watchin' us!" the guy shot back, verbally.
"He's right ya know." a teenage voice said, as Spider-Man jumped jumped down from the ceiling right in front of them. "Watched by your friendly neighborhood..."
he was interrupted when one of the thugs freaked. "SPIDER-MAN!" he shouted.
"That's right!" he joked, right before the goons aimed their guns at him. "Now tell me what the Shocker is up to and you won't be arrested."
"Fuck you, web-head!" the goon shot back. "We ain't no snitches!"
"Yeah, you'll never get us to talk!" One of the thugs said, shooting his gun at him, causing the web-slinger to get out of the way.
"I was hoping you'd say that." Spidey went to the higher parts of the warehouse. "Now, let's have some fun punchin' your teeth out, Spider style!"
Spider-Man then does what he does best, knock down all the thugs. He got to a a few places where he swipes their guns away and shoots webbing bullets at them. For another goon, he yanked his gun away, broke it in half and kicked him the eye. For the third one, he chopped him on the back of the neck. The fourth was back to back with the fifth, and Spide yamnked their guns away strapping them to a wall, and giving them a double kick to the heads. The sixth, seventh and eighth goons were aiming their guns and fired them off, making Spidey use a forklift for cover. But then he slingshot himself at them, knocking them down with a clothes line. The final goon dropped his gun and was about to run away, but the web-slinger pounced on him and punched him in the eye.
Little did Spidey know, there was an invisible drone flying around, spying on him.
The web-slinger then tied the thugs up in his webbing, and interrogated them a little more. "Still won't talk?"
The thugs all tried to struggle out of the webbing, but to no avail. Even so, one of them shot back, "Like we said before, we ain't sayin' nothin'!"
Spidey thought about what he was gonna do to them, and just then, it hit him. "Okay, then, I'll just pull your underwear over your head and stick it with my webbing." he retorted.
This made the thug feel cringed. "No, don't! I'll talk!"
"Good." Spidey said, as he grabbed the thug by the collar of his shirt. "Now, where the hell is Shocker?" he demanded.
The goon revealed his boss's location. "He-He took a very huge crate and went to the factory!"
"Which factory are we talking about?"
"I-I plain don't know!" the goon said. "That's what Shocker told us before he left! We don't know where the factory is located!" he shouted.
"Thanks for the info and all, but you're still getting that wedgie for our ruckus!" the web-head stated as he grabbed the thug's pants.
"No, don't!" the goon begged, but Spidey pulled his underwear over his head, and shot his webbing at it, making him scream bloody murder in pain. "Shit! Shit! Shit! he gave me a wedgie!"
Spidey laughed in a taunting manner. "Thanks for your cooperation pal." Spider-Man taunted. "The cops will be here soon to pick you and your boys up. So I'll be taking off now!" The wall-crawler shot his web-line out as he took off to the factory, noticing the destruction Shocker made along his way there. "Smell ya later!" he taunted again.
Spidey then investigating a set of tire tracks that were along with the path and swung off in their direction.
"Fury, do you read me? This is Spider-Man! The Shocker has escaped again!" he said, speaking into his watch as a image of a man who had brown skin, and eye-patch over his right eye. This was Nicholas Joseph Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. For a while he had gone off the radar to avoid his enemy; HYDRA, a terrorist organization determined to rule the world. They are led by Red Skull, Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, Baron Heinrich Zemo and Madame Viper.
"I know." Fury responded. "He escaped from Ravencroft prison again. I'm fully aware of that."
"That's good to know, except that he stole a very huge crate!" Spidey informed. "At least it's not as big as the Hulk."
Fury knew that the very thing Spider-Man said to him was a joke. "Very funny, webhead." he said using sarcasm. "Is that crate you just mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D. property?"
"I hope not. If it is, it could've been a deadly weapon that could destroy the city!" Spider-Man stated, as he swung along the trail.
"Then find Shocker, kick his ass, turn him in and retrieve the crate before it falls into the wrong hands, mainly HYDRA and A.I.M. or worse, Dr. Octopus." Fury responded.
"Crap! Now you're telling me!" Spidey feared that the item in the crate might end up in the hands of one of his enemies while he followed the villain's trail. "Anyway, I'm on it now!"
"I'll keep you posted. Fury out." Fury said as he signed off from his end aboard the brand new S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. "Contact one of our best S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to assist Spider-Man on this one. "he ordered some of his personnel. "I have a feeling that there might be more to anything besides that crate and God only knows what's in store for the wall-crawler." he said to himself.
(Song fades)
However, little did they know, someone was remotely controlling the invisible drone. "That's it, Spider-Man. Follow the Shocker, but when you least expect it, I shall pounce on you like a wolf in the night." A mysterious voice said watching from the drone.
Meanwhile at Avengers Tower, the headquarters of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Black Widow was right in the middle of her workout.
"Okay, let's do this." she said with determination in her eyes.
(Come down by Anderson .Pakk feat. T.I. plays)
She started shooting her Widow's Sting at some robotic training dummies. She got the next wave with a few roundhouse kicks and right hook punches.
"That's one wave of dummies down."
Just then third wave of drones that looked like some of the Avengers enemies came at her, but she took them down. She used her gauntlets on one who bore a striking likeness to a robot who called himself Ultron, he was an enemy of the Avengers who wanted all organic life wiped out so that only robots would remain. On looked like a man with sliver armor and a green outfit over it, it was in the likeness of Victor Von Doom, the dictator of the European country of Latveria. She took that down with a dodge of it's blasts then grabbed his neck with her legs, swinging around him, grabbing his head and slamming it on her knee. The third drone looked like a man with blue skin, scales and was holding a triple-pronged spear, in the style of Attuma, current king of Atlantis. She used a disc-like weapon she had developed to hit it in the chest, and when it exploded the drone fell apart.
But just as she was about to move on to the last one, her communicator went off. Feeling frustrated, she checked it out anyway.
"Oh God. Director Fury is calling me at a time like this?" she complained. "It's bad enough that the rest of the Avengers are living their own lives and doing their own missions after we built our second base while I'm stuck in Avengers Tower!" she then said in her thoughts. "I don't mean to complain but even though I got the Tower to myself so I could finally have some me time, I'm starting to feel a little bit lonely. Considering the fact that I'm currently not dating anyone right now, which is a good thing by the way." She picked up her communicator and respond to her boss. "Romanoff here."
Nick Fury appeared on the screen. "Agent Romanoff, I have an assignment for you."
"I'm listening."
"Spider-Man is tracking down the Shocker who stole a crate that might be S.H.I.E.L.D. property." Fury said to his best agent. "We don't even know what's inside it, but whatever it is, it must not fall into the wrong hands. Your mission is to help Spider-Man take down Shocker and retrieve the crate or what could be inside it by any means necessary."
"I'm on my way there right now, boss. Romanoff out." Widow shut the training dummies down, reloaded her gauntlets, grabbed any additional weapons and went to join the webhead in his chase against Shocker.
In her thoughts, she said, "Looks like I'm teaming up with Spider-Man again, but without the other Avengers around. I mean, he may be annoying, but at least he's on the side of good." she then got back into her car, started the propulsion units and zoomed off to rendezvous with Spider-Man.
(A/N: I'm using the car she had in Avengers Assemble, Season 1, Episode 1. It seemed like a good idea.)
She looked on her video screen and saw the destruction Shocker left while on his way to the factory. "Hmm, looks like Shocker has been busy." she said. "He must be trying to throw anyone off his trail." she kept on zooming over to the factory. "Looks like those gloves of his are turned up a notch."
(Song fades)
Spider-Man kept on swinging around the city, until he arrived at the factory where Shocker was going to, it looked abandoned. The power went out but some of them had a backup generator, which meant that some mechanized arms were still moving around, making parts. Spidey landed the rooftop until at last he found a man exiting a truck with silver gauntlets around his arms, wearing a mahogany red and golden yellow costume. This was Herman Schultz, or as Spidey knows him, The Shocker. He was a part of a group of villains known as the Sinister 6 with Otto Octavius/Dr. Octopus and other super villains.
"Ah ha!" Spidey said, as he overlooked the villain. "I've found you Shocker. Now to follow you and get the jump on you." he crept a little slowly as Shocker enter the building, looking around the place to make sure nothing went with a hitch. "Before he'll know what'll hit him, I'll just enter through the furnace, go ninja on him and..." Spidey was about to execute his plan, but then something tingled in him. "Hey, my Spider-Sense is going crazy!" he said. "Now what's happening...oh shit!" there was a rumbling, and it was so strong, it made a skylight shatter and a little bit of the roof fall apart, along with Spidey as he fell to the ground floor, wincing in pain. "Ugh, I hate when that happens."
Shocker walked over to our arachnid hero with a menacing look on his mask-covered face. "Well, well, well, if it ain't ol' bugboy himself, Spider-Man, snoopin' on top of the factory, waitin' to be vaped." he taunted.
Spidey got up to his feet, shaking off the pain. "Yeah, I heard that FedEx doesn't appreciate you ruining a special delivery by stealing a crate which is probably the size of a Kingpin Wilson Fisk-like crater." Spidey joked, as Shocker shot his blasts at him and he dodged. "In other words, you look like you lost a little bit of weight during you stint in prison."
"Yeah, but this time, I'm gonna lose some deadweight and stay in shape by getting rid of you!" Shocker zapped again, but Spider-Man kept on dodging his attacks.
"Hey, that's not nice!"
"You're damn right it ain't! And you know what?"
"What's that?"
Shocker charged up his gloves again. "I don't give a rat's ass!" he zapped at the web-slinger again, only to have Spidey zip-line to him, and punch him in the jaw.
"Woo!" Spidey said, as he went up to the wall. "Looks like somebody's stepped up a notch today! Did a lot of target practice with my picture on the target again, didn't you, Shockie?" he taunted.
Shocker then got to hit him in the ribs. "Don't call me Shockie!The name is SHOCKER!" he ranted as he zapped the web head again. "Ha! Gotcha, Spider shit for brains!"
Spidey felt a little bit more pain in his left leg, and felt to the side "Crap. Me and my big, fat quipping mouth." he cursed himself as he winced again. "That's one way of putting some shock in the system."
"Damn right it is, Spider-Punk!" Shocker said, as he placed his foot on Spidey's chest. "I got ya right where I want ya. And to be completely honest with ya, I've been waiting for this moment for a long, damn, time." he charged his gloves up again, but then a set of lights shined through the windows. "What the hell!?"
BOOM!
Shocker said as a laser zapped him right off of Spider-Man, a car came crashing into the place and out of the car came Black Widow.
(Know The Ledge by Eric B. & Rakim plays)
"I'm sorry. Did I step on your moment, Shultz?" she said. "Too bad. You're under arrest."
Spidey was wide-eyed in surprise as Widow walked over to him. "Black Widow?"
"In the flesh, Spider-Man." Widow said, as she extended her hand helping Spidey to his feet. "Director Fury informed me that Shocker stole a crate that's property of S.H.I.E.L.D. so he sent me to retrieve it too."
"Yeah, well, I literally had it under control." Spider-Man insisted. "But, since you're here, I wouldn't mind teaming up with you despite me being in a state of shock by you're arrival." He then looked around for her teammates. "Are the other Avengers with you?"
"Nope. It's just me right now." Widow responded. "And let's make this quick because I got better places to go than this." she got into a fighting stance.
"If you say so." Spidey also got into a fighting stance along side her.
"And let me do my job professionally, please?" she asked, complainingly.
"Hey, no need to be worked up like that!" Spidey countered.
Just then, Shocker got up to his feet again. "You just made helluva mistake there, Black Widow!" Shocker warned. "Now I can take down two Spiders with one stroke!"
Widow had a smirk on her face. "Alright then. Let's have some fun." she said, charging at the villain.
"Hey, wait up!" Spidey said, as he and Widow double teamed against Shocker. It was a back and forth battle they had with him, what with Spidey using his webbing on him, combined with his street brawling and karate style, and uniting it with Widow's martial arts.
The mystery man who was speaking to himself on the drone was heavily shadowed, and he felt somewhat amused by the battle that was going on between the two Spiders and Shocker.
"Oh hoo hoo, this is perfect!" he said. "My money is on Shocker beating the fuck out of that Wall-Climber and that Russian Jezebel from the Avengers!" he snickered evilly.
They both knocked Shocker back a little bit, and he felt somewhat intrigued by this. "Well, I'll be damned! You two fight like you teamed up before."
"Well, that's true." Spidey said. "We teamed up in the past but with other people. Besides, it's a long story."
"But this will be your final chapter when I vaporize you two bugs!" Shocker said, as he turned the dial on his gloves up to 12.
"Ever consider changing your name to the Vaporizer?" Spidey joked. "After all, you keep yapping about vaporizing people." he got a chop on the head by Black Widow as she shot her Widow's Sting at him.
Widow was not impressed. "Unless you want to be a stand-up comedian to one-up Hawkeye, keep your jokes to yourself and focus on kicking Shocker's ass!" she ordered.
"Aw, c'mon! That's part of my strategy!" Spidey complained. "I'm just using all these jokes to get my enemies off their game, and I use it as a coping mechanism."
Shocker then felt an opportunity, "Oh yeah? Well in that case, Spider-Man..."
"Aw dammit!"
"The jokes are on you!" Shocker fired his gloves at the web-climber, but Black Widow got him out of the way.
"Whoa! That was close!" Spidey said, wiping a little bit of sweat off his head.
"Like this?" Widow said, firing her gauntlets again.
Shocker did his best to dodge them. "Wha...hey!" But Shocker got hit by one anyhow.
Widow then had an idea. She grabbed the villain by the collar of his costume, and began to act out her plan. "Hey, Spider-Man!" she called out as she threw Shocker over to the web-head.
"Yeah?" Spidey asked, as he saw Shocker being thrown right at him, and he knew what Widow was going with. "Oh, right."
He shot his webbing in the form of a net, wrapped it around Shocker and sung him around a little. "Oh shit!" the villain shouted.
Spidey kept on throwing Shocker like he was a baseball going around and around and around. Until at last, he let go causing the villain in mahogany and gold to go crashing into a mechanical arm. "And, that's a home run!" he said, with excitement. "You gotta admit Black Widow, we make one helluva team." he said, putting his elbow on her shoulder. "You were quite amazing yourself."
Widow removed her shoulder from his elbow. "Save your compliments of me to yourself, hon." she said. "Let's finish this up and turn the..." she got interrupted when Shocker shot another zap at them, causing him to free himself from the trap he was in.
"You ain't gonna do nuttin' bitch!" he said, cranking the dial on his gloves all the way to 12 again. "And you sure as hell..." he charged up his gloves.
Spider-Man's Spider Sense tingled in his head again. "Oh no! Widow, look out!" he yelled as he ran towards her.
"Ain't gonna take me alive!" Shocker said, as he unleashed a powerful blast and zapped a metal beam, causing a platform to collapse on the Spiders. "Enjoy the rider to hell Spider-Man and Black Widow! And goo riddance to bad rubbish!" he said, walking off. He was about to get back into the truck, but then he heard a crashing noise. "What the fuck!?" he yelled.
Spider-Man had gotten out of the rubble, and it turned out that there was a little bit of dirt on his costume. "Now you've done it, Shocker!" he yelled. I just washed this costume this week!" he then began to look around for his ally from the Avengers. "I wonder if Black Widow's okay." he then noticed that the the redhead's hand had been sticking out of the rubble. "Oh no." Spider-Man raced over to check up on her, digging her out of the mess. "Widow? Black Widow!" he felt concerned, and checked her pulse.
He let out a sigh of relief. "She's unconscious but still alive." Spidey said. "Good thing I checked her pulse." he then turned over to his foe.
"Hey, it's her own fault that she stuck her big, good-lookin piece of ass in my business, webhead!" Shocker retorted, making Spidey shake his fist in anger. "Now that she got what she deserved, it's your turn to get mutilated."
Spidey was now fully enraged, "Y'know what, Shocker! Playtime's over, now it's personal!" he put his fist into his palm.
"My thoughts exactly, wall-crawler." Shocker got ready to use his gloves again. "Let's settle this once and for all!"
"You freakin' bet we are!" Spidey said. "But first..." he shot his web-line at Shocker's feet, sticking him to the floor a little bit.
"Aw hell!"
"And second..." he then used his webs to yank the gloves off of Shocker, and then he removed the mask showing Shocker's true face as Herman Schultz. Spidey then grabbed the gloves and used his strength to shatter them to pieces..
"My vibro-gloves!" Shocker shouted in fright. "You'll pay for this, Spider-Man!" he bellowed as Spidey ran up and punched him in the jaw, in both sides of his face and chopped him on the side of the neck. But then Spider-Man kicked Shocker in the ribs, in the leg and did a backlight round kick to his gut.
"And for my grand finale." Spider-Man began waving his fist around and threw it like a baseball at the front of his face. Only to get countered by Shocker who delivered his own punch to Spidey's head, knocking him down. He broke from the arachnid hero's webs again, and decided to do this the old fashioned way.
"If it's a grand finale you want Spider-Man, here's my encore!" Shocker said, venomously. But, Spider-Man began to look for a way out of his fix.
"You got that fuckin' right Shock for brains!" Spidey shot his web line up at a crate hanging above Shocker's head.
THWIP!
"Now eat this!" He yanked back and the crate came falling down on Schultz's head, knocking him out.
BAM!
Spidey wiped his hands. "Well, guess that that takes care of Shocker. Now to check on Black Widow again."
He ran over to the redheaded super spy again to see how she was doing. When he did so, he saw her out as a light, sleeping. "She's resting quite well." He was also checking for any injuries she might have sustained during the blast. "No serious injuries though." He noticed that some of her costume was ripped a little bit. "Since nobody's here, it's safe for me to say that she's beautiful when she's sleeping like this."Spider-Man admired Black Widow's womanly features which were like eye-candy for him. But then he felt something wasn't right. "Oh no, the crate!"
Spider-Man then picked up Black Widow, placed her over his shoulder and raced over to the Shocker used to get to the factory. Next, he went over to the crate, opened it up and inside it was some giant metal object the size of a human. And it looked like there was a person inside. "Whoa!" he said marveling at the device. "Looks like this crate had a cryogenic pod in it, and there's a frozen body inside." The web-slinger then contacted Nick Fury on his watch again. "Fury, Spider-Man here again. I stopped Shocker, with Black Widow's help but she's unconscious right now, thanks to Shocker's blast at a metal beam which collapsed the platform. She's still alive by sleeping right now."
"That's good news, but what about the stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. crate?" Fury asked. "Did you two manage to get it back?"
"Yeah, but what's inside the crate is a cryogenic pod and someone was frozen inside. I don't know who could be in there, but as a precaution, I think it's best if you send in S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to bring it back to Coulson while the cops take Shocker away again."
"I agree with that idea. That way the pod will be kept out of certain hands for the time being."
"Yeah, but what about Black Widow?" Spider-Man said, still carrying the Russian Avenger over his shoulder. "I can't just leave her here."
"I didn't say anything about leaving Agent Romanoff there!" Fury yelled, making Spider-Man cringe a little bit.
"Okay, okay, no need to raise your voice!" the wall-climber complained.
Fury then had an idea. "Just take her to your place for now."
This left Spider-Man flabbergasted by the sound of it. "WHAT?!" Spidey shouted. "Are you insane! I can't just..." he let out a grieving sigh. "Fine. I'll take her to my Aunt May's house."
"Good." Fury said. "But, whatever you do, don't do anything I wouldn't do to her."
"Like sexual acts toward her? Got it." acknowledged Spider-Man.
"Good I'll contact the two of you later for any further updates. Fury out." Fury said, as he disconnected the transmission.
Spider-Man shot out another web-line and swung out of the factory, with Black Widow in tow. "Take a nice nap, Black Widow." he mumbled. "It's gonna be a long and very awkward ride back to my Aunt May's house. But still...Why me?"
Back on the Helicarrier, Nick Fury was greeted by one of his personnel who had short blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a standard S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform. He said hi to everyone aboard the vessel with a Western accent. This was S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Clay Quartermain, one of the best agents Fury has ever known.
"Director Fury, sir." Clay said, greeting his boss.
"Ah, Clay, good to have you here." Fury said, shaking hands with him. "Spider-Man recently took Shocker down, with some help from Romanoff, and I sent some of the boys to retrieve the cryo-pod that was in the crate."
This made Quartermain stunned. "You sent Natasha to help Spider-Man?" he asked. "Good thinking sir."
Fury then felt another idea flowing through his head. "What do you think the odds are of Spider-Man getting romantic with Romanoff?"
"Dunno, boss. I'd say 100 to 1."
"Would you like to make a bet on that, Clay?"
Quartermain was a little shaken up by this, but he agreed to the bet. "You're on, boss." The two of them shook their hands again, accepting the bet.
"So, what now?"
"Well, I was gonna call my wife and see if you'd like to come over for a chat." Clay said.
"Okay, we'll monitor Spider-Man's progress from there." Fury said, when he and Quartermain walked off the bridge. Fury then had a sneaky and mischievous grin on his face. "Now, we play The Waiting Game."
The mysterious man was watching the whole video, that is until someone opened up a door and delivered him a drink.
"Thank you, Harvey." he said. "So, what was in that pod?"
"I'm not sure, sir." Harvey said. "And before you ask, I don't know who or what is in that thingamajig."
"Well, what ever it was, we will find out for ourselves." he said, grabbing a something breakable. "Soon, Spider-Man will be sorry he ever started a fight with me." He leaned forward showing himself to have an all green outfit with a purple cape.
Spidey swung around until he returned to his house. He got to the front door, opened it and walked inside. He carried her by switching her from on his back to bridal style. He then started to think of something.
(Inside My Mind (Blue Skies) by Groove Armada plays)
"Okay, now where should I put Black Widow?" he asked himself. "The couch? No, not the couch. I'll have to put her on the bed. But not my bed." he walked up the stairs and thought again. "Now that I'm upstairs, it's too late to put her in the guest room." he said walking over to one of the doors in the house. "Guess I'll have to put her in Aunt May's room for now." he opened up the door, and put the unconscious Black Widow flat on her back and rested her head on the pillow.
In his thoughts, Spidey said, "Okay, now that she's resting comfortably and peacefully, I gotta figure out what to do next now that she's here with me." he snapped out of it and began to take his mask off and pace the floor. "I've never been this nervous since I tried to keep my identity a secret from everybody back then before Nick Fury took me, Iron Fist, Power Man, Nova and White Tiger under his wing. And...Whoa." he then got a look at how lovely her body looked while she slept. "She really does have a very, very, hot, sexy body." he then felt a little bit stiff down below. "I think she's starting to turn me...what am I doing?" he stopped ogling her when he slapped himself in the face. "I shouldn't be attracted to her when she's sleeping!" he muttered to himself. Just then, Black Widow's hand started to move. "Uh, oh. My loud voice is waking her up." he flailed attempting to put his mask back on. "I gotta..."
Widow sat up, rubbed the pain behind her head to soothe it. When she looked around to find out where she was, she saw the young man in the doorway to the room she was in. "S-Spider-Man?" she said, making the web-slinger turn around and look at her. "Is that really you underneath that mask?" she asked.
Spidey panicked a little bit. "Oh no. She saw my true face." he said. "Meaning that she knows my true identity. Now what am I gonna do?"
Widow raised her eyebrow, and wanted an answer. "Tell me the truth, kiddo." the redhead started off. "Have you really been Spider-Man the entire time?"
Peter let out a grieving sigh, "Okay, you got me." he deadpanned and confessed at the same time. "Yes, I am Spider-Man. The reason I didn't want to reveal my real identity is because..."
He nearly finished his sentence but Widow finished it for him. "Anyone you knew and loved would be in constant danger if you did."
"Yeah." Peter stated, felling intrigued by how the redhead put it. "Boy, you catch on fast."
"Hey, what did you expect? I'm a spy and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Spidey." Widow said to him. "Let's just say I checked the database and looked over the files on everybody affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Including you...Peter Parker."
The fact that she read Spider-Man's file in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Database, figuring out his identity for herself shocked Peter to his very core. He stammered for a little bit, stuttering nervously. "What? Are you cr..." he was cut off yet again Widow got up and shushed him.
"Don't worry about a thing. You're secret's safe with me." she winked at him. "I'm sure that the other Avengers knew earlier though." she said, promising to keep his identity a secret from the public. "Anyway, where are we?" she asked, then noticed the boy looking at her rack. "And would you stop staring at my cleavage please?" she asked.
Peter started blushing as he turned his head away from her chest to her face. "Oh, sorry." Peter said, apologetically. "We're in my Aunt's house. This is where I live. Speaking of which, my Aunt May is on vacation right now and she'll be gone for a while."
"On vacation, huh?" Widow folded her arms. "But does she know that you're Spider-Man?"
"Yeah, she does." he admitted. "She revealed that she knew I was Spider-Man the whole time when we were involved in the Contest Of Champions. And the most awkward part about it is that I didn't reveal it to her. She just knew. That's all."
"And because of that, you had to protect her and save her life too."
"Yeah, that too." Peter said. "Hey, uh, wanna continue this conversation over a couple of sandwiches?" he offered.
Widow then felt her stomach and said, "Sure, I just skipped lunch today." she still felt a little pain on the back of her head. "Ugh...And also, I may need a bag of ice."
"Comin' right up."
When the two of them were downstairs in the dining room, Peter made some sandwiches for him and Black Widow to have. He also put together a bag of ice for her to put on the back of her head. The two of the quietly stared into each other's eyes, as Widow placed the bag of ice behind her head.
"So, Widow, how's your head?" Peter asked breaking his silence.
"It feels better." she replied to him. "That damn Shocker nearly killed me." Widow stated as she took a bite out of her sandwich. "But since I'm still alive, I'm not complaining too much." she liked the way Peter made her meal. "By the way, these sandwiches are delicious. It's better that seeing Hulk and Thor up all the sandwiches back at Avengers Tower." she complimented.
"Thanks, Widow." Peter said, feeling honored. And he chuckled a little before taking a bite out of his sandwich. "That was better than nothing at all."
Widow then began to wonder something about Peter. "Okay, tell me something, Peter." she started. "How did you become Spider-man?"
"Well, it all started like this." Peter began to tell the redheaded Russian Super Spy his backstory. "Back during my freshman year at Midtown High School, I was bitten by a radioactive spider, while on a field trip and as a result of it, I gained the power of the spider. The ability to stick to walls, the agility, the strength, and a thing for dark corners and new heights."
Widow was puzzled. "Wow. Did not know that." she said. "Is that spider still around?"
"Yep, it was in the Oscorp Labs." Peter said, before continuing his backstory. "What really drove me to become a superhero is when my Uncle Ben was murdered."
"Murdered? By who?" she wanted to know.
"A mugger who robbed money from a fight promoter who didn't pay me much money after participating in a wrestling match I was in against Crusher Hogan, the toughest pro wrestler in the world at the time." he then felt solemn. "I let that happen because I didn't think it was my problem and I didn't take my responsibility seriously. After that robber took my Uncle Ben's life, I chased after him in my Spider-Man costume. When I caught up with him and before I could make him pay, I took off his ski mask and he was revealed as the same crook from the arena. But rather than taking his life from him, I turned him over to the cops and I realized that being a superhero became my calling. I then went on to become everyone's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and haven't turned back since."
Widow felt amazed by the way he told it. "Great story, Peter." she said, before she also felt solemn. "And I'm sorry for your loss."
"Thanks, Widow." Peter said, putting his palm over her hand. "What about your family?"
Widow began to remember what had happened to her in the past, but dismissed it. "It's...a complicatedly long story."
"Okay." Peter said, taking his hand off of her's and told her something else. "Oh and there's more. Over the years as Spider-Man, I've been constantly criticized and verbally ridiculed by that blowhard asshole with the biggest mouth of all New York, J. Jonah Jameson." he started to feel agitated. "Every chance he gets, he has the gall to call me a Masked Menace and I had to endure him badmouthing me to everyone." she began to shake his fist out of anger, but then Widow put her hand over it.
"Don't let him get to you, Peter." Widow said, stroking his head. "Just be cause he called you a menace doesn't mean that you are one. Because you're not." she spoke to him about that firmly but fairly. "He's bad-mouthing you out of jealousy and resentment because you made a difference for this city you live in more than he'll ever make."
Peter thought about what Widow said to him, and he took it to consideration. "You're right Widow. Guess I was overreacting." he said, rubbing the back of his head nervously and blushing. "Anyway, how're the Avengers doing?" he asked.
"Let's just say we're taking a break from being Avengers and going our separate ways for the time being, meaning that we're on separate missions and living our own lives with Hawkeye being with his wife Laura and his three kids, Lila, Coop and Nathaniel, Hulk leading the Agents Of S.M.A.S.H. in Vista Verde while resuming his relationship with Betty Ross, Thor being in Asgard with his allies Lady Sif and the Warriors 3, Tony Stark running his company, Ant-Man pursuing Hollywood as the adviser for the movie based on the Avengers, Captain America doing his own thing with Falcon and I'm going solo while still living in Avengers Tower, which I'm fine with. You know, finally get some me time."
"That is until Nick Fury said otherwise." Peter said. "I found that out the hard way when he had me and my fellow superheroes under surveillance one time." he hinted as Widow raised her eyebrow at him. "That was embarrassing. Does that ever happen to you?"
"Not really." Widow responded. "Even if he did, I'd do more than give him a piece of my mind." she hissed a little bit.
"By the way you carry yourself, I don't blame you at all."
Widow looked away from him, but the refocused her eyes to him. "Peter, listen. I was wondering." she said. "Can I stay a while longer? Even though I got Avengers Tower all to myself without the other Avengers around, I'm starting to feel a little bit lonely." she confessed.
Peter was bug-eyed in astonishment about what he just heard. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am."
"Well...okay. Can't see why not." Peter agreed to Widow's request.
"Thanks." And then...the unexpected happened. Widow kissed Peter on the cheek. "And my real name is Natasha Romanoff."
"Oh, Natasha Romanoff." Peter said, feeling flustered. "That's got a Russian ring to it. No, I mean..." he stopped when Natasha stroked his head again.
In his thoughts, Peter said, "God, she's so beautiful."
In her thoughts, Natasha said, "God, he's so handsome."
After gazing deeply into each other's eyes again, "So, want to show me around the house a little bit before we do something later on?"
"Yeah."
Peter then went over to the refrigerator to get something to wash his sandwich down with. He got out some milk and poured him and Natasha a glass. "I think I'm starting to become attracted to him/her." Peter and Natasha said in their thoughts simultaneously.
