The Responsibility
There isn't much to explain for my current… Let's call it "situation" because there is no other way I could put it…
I am Peter Parker aka Spider-man, and yesterday I was a popular superhero, and by popular I mean about half of the people of New York doesn't know how to look at my actions despite all I do for them. None of that mattered to me because I did not expect reward for my actions, it was my choice and I decided to use my abilities to help and make a better city, even sometimes helping entire worlds. And when I see everything I did, I regret none of it. It is my responsibility to give others hope, give them a vision of security. It is also my responsibilities that put me in my current predicament…..
1 Day before….
"Whoa!" I yelled as a sudden purple vortex grabbed me mid-swing and made me land in a weird black and purple void. "I hate it when she does that, no one taught her to, you know, WARN people before making them fall"
"Did I hear well?" The old women seated in a giant "Web-throne" said. "It is not the first time I do this, yet you complain almost every time."
"Sorry for that Madam Web, but what is it this time? Please don't tell me that I have to go to a world controlled by the Sinister Six, assisted by Doom and that I will have to fight two unicorn gods hell bent on killing me because I swear to god I…". I shut my mouth when I realised that she was smiling at me.
"You're wrong Spider-man, but the task ahead is no joking matter." This last comment made me almost cry under my mask….
"An entire world is in danger, and even the heroes who are already in this world won't be able to save it without help" she continued. "I sense the questions in you, do not worry, I arranged with some authorities that your absence will go unnoticed by everyone."
It took me about four seconds to understand her words, and two others to MAKE SURE I understood them right…For a second I thought that it was gonna be a normal day but no, then I remembered my mantra and I raised my head.
"Allright Madam Web, what's happening over there? If I may ask."
"I unfortunately do not have enough details to help you much because of the thin link between our world and theirs, but you have to find a way to contact and help the hero of this city, I am sorry I cannot be of more assistance Spider-man, I wish I could be, for your sake…Good luck"
As I was about to say something, she pointed a hand at me and I was thrown, again in another vortex, I did not count the time I was falling, but I'm pretty sure my stomach did it for me. I could only think about one cruel, unanswered question: How long will I be gone?
Present time…
The purple vortex vanished and I found myself falling, still dizzy, from the sky in my normal clothes but my web-shooters still on my wrists. As I neared impact I shot a web on a building to slow the fall….only to realise that in my confusion I shot too high and the web slowed my impact, but not that much.
I felt the trash container's top bend under my weight, if I didn't have my superhuman durability, I would be dead. I dizzily mumbled "Everyone please feel free to empty your bowels on the right and then crawl to the nearest place that has a roof to protect yourself from the rain on your left." With these word and a small chuckle at my horrible sarcasm I got out of the container and walked through the heavy rain until I found a big empty box in an alley. I got under, and took the time to check myself: My suit was under my clothes and the mask in the back pocket of my pants, my brown shirt was now more black than brown from the rain and my brown hair was a mess, so nothing really abnormal for now. I looked at my surroundings and I saw a big panel with "Gotham Park" written on it. Great, I was in a dark city that I know absolutely nothing about and I'm supposed to save the place? Well at least there does not seem to be trouble around…I'd better sleep on it and start searching tomorrow morning before I pass out of exhaustion.
So this is the first chapter, I know its short but I wanted to start small for the first two chapters. Tell me what you think, stay polite please. Hope you enjoyed.
