The sun was hitting the young man's eyes as he stared at the large building looming before him. He had no clue there were buildings like this anywhere in Iowa, especially not in the middle of nowhere like this late compound was. When the question, "Have you ever wanted to be a superhero?", popped up on his phone he had to jump at the chance, he never thought he would get such a chance. He drove his motorcycle out to the location given to him after he selected the Yes option.
"Am I supposed to just walk in?" He thought aloud as he did when he was alone.
"Mr. Hansen, we've been expecting you," a robotic voice rang out in the silence, "please enter and we will begin."
The door to the building slid open smoothly and without sound. He looked around for a moment before stepping inside.
Once he entered he was greeted by darkness with a single light illuminating a podium with a black box sitting in the middle what seemed like a large room. He walked towards it, there was a handwritten note on the box simply labeled, "Tobi".
"I guess this is mine." Tobi stated aloud in the darkness.
He opened the case and saw two black metal bracelet-like objects sitting in the middle of the box, he grabbed them and put them on his wrists, there was a small stem that reached to the center of his palms, on each stem there was a small button. In the box there were several small cartridges that fit into the bracelets, the cartridges were all on a blue belt, so he put that around his waist and put a cartridge in each spot on both bracelets.
"What now?" He said loudly into the darkness.
Shortly after several lights illuminated the darkness. The room was a very large empty room with several pillars, there was a large arched doorway about 50 feet in the air on the wall directly in front of him. The robotic voice rang out once again.
"Prove that you are hero material. Enter the corridor. If you cannot accomplish this goal leave the objects in the box and exit the premises."
"Wait but how am I supposed to get up there?!" He yelled.
But no answer came. He stared at the doorway wondering how he could possibly get up there. He looked back to the bracelets on each wrist. He just had a feeling that they had something to do with the door. He pointed his hand at the door but couldn't figure out how to press the button. Then he remembered the old Spider-Man comics he loved to read.
"There's no way," he thought as he made a devil horns type hand gesture. He aimed the gauntlet at a wall and hit the button. Suddenly a white substance in the shape of a rope shot out of the bracelet. Suddenly he smiled. He knew exactly what to do.
He aimed at a pillar and shot another web, it stuck to the pillar and he used to web to swing, directly into a wall. After try after try he was swinging around the room like he was born to do it. He suddenly remembered the doorway and swung his way in. Upon entering he started walking down the long hallway and the voice returned once again.
"Congratulation Mister Tobi Hansen. You have passed the test to become a super hero. There is a long path ahead of you. Enter the door in front of you to begin your new life. And once again, congratulations on becoming the newest member of The Avengers. Welcome to the team Spider-Man."
