The Advocates of Fate

The fire crackled as the Hellions tied me to a barrel bomb with some chains. I shook my head trying to get my vision back. " So let me see you get out of this one," said one of the hellions. The hellions laughed as they ran from the building throwing torches around the letting the fire scatter. I quickly pushed forward and stood up. The fire had already melted the chains some so it allowed me to slip out of the them with ease. I quickly picked up the barrel and came crashing out the nearest window. I left the oil next to the fire chief.

" Make sure no other cars come through here!" I yelled. The fire chief nodded at me and ran to the rode. I took a deep breathe as I looked at the building. I charged my hand back and tossed the bomb up over the building. It landed in the pond behind the building and quickly exploded sending the water. " Now for the fire," I said. As I grabbed the fire extinguisher and strapped it to my back before I could even make it to the building the water came crashing down on the building putting out the flames quickly. I looked up in amazement as a man in black and white was behind the building holding his blade out as if he just slashed it. His blade quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke and he came floating down toward me.

" Wow you couldn't handle a fire? What kind of hero are you?" he said with a laugh.

" Well I was about to till you got in the way," I said a bit annoyed at his statement. The people began to crowd around us cheering and thanking us for putting out the fire. He smirked and jumped back flying off in the other direction. I turned and signed a couple autographs for some of the kids.

"Thank you thank you!" the kids yelled as I jumped away from the scene. I made my way into an alley and let my black suit seep back into the sweat glands. It's been almost 2 weeks since the accident and my dad has ran so many tests trying to figure out if I have had a reaction to the beam that hit me. It wasn't fun but it help put my dad's nerves on ease knowing I was ok. As I looked down at my watch the police radio blared in my pocket. I quickly put it to my ear and ran into a near by alley way.

"All cars available cars there has been a report of a robbery at the bank in kings row. Report there admittedly," It blared. I quickly put it back in my pocket and let the black suit engulf my body. " Well dad. Looks like you gotta wait a couple more minutes," I said as I jumped to the yellow line and made my way to kings. The police sirens blared as I made my way to the bank. From what I could see the bank entrance was surrounded with police. I quickly landed next to one of them.

"What do we got?" I said.

" Seems like the Arachnos have the bank held up. There was some else with them but we don't know exactly who," said the police chief as he turned to me.

" Alright I got this," I said as I jumped over the car blockade and ran toward the bank.

" Maybe you should wait for the long bow. I've seen young heroes like you get overwhelmed easy!" he yelled to me. I shook off the statement and ran in. As I walked into the building with a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I slowly eased myself to the opening that led to the main lobby and peered in. Two guards at the opening next to the bank teller station and 5 hostages in the corner. I got down and crept slowly toward the doorway. Deep breath spider deep breath. I gave a thumbs up the hostages and quickly turned jumping over on of the desks. Before the Soldier could even aim his gun it was kicked from his grasp. I quickly spun kicking the him into wall. With one last kick to the chest the other soldier was out like a light. I quickly ran over to the hostages and untied them.

" Stay low and be quiet. I'm gonna handle the bad guys," I reassured them with another thumbs up and made my way to the vault. I could hear a distant pounding on the vault. I crept slowly toward the vault room and peered in. From what I could see there were 3 soldiers behind a man in the same kind of uniform. Only difference was there were 4 spider type legs coming from his back. The man quickly grasped the vault door and ripped it from its hinges. " Hey how bout you guys try making an account in the bank before making a withdraw?" I said as I ran into the room. The man quickly turned and threw the vault door at me. I jumped flipping forward dodging the vault door with ease landing before the 4 soldiers.

" You three get the money. This little man is mine," He said walking toward me.

" Well. The bigger they are," I said as I jumped at him sending a kick right at his helmet. He stood there as he was unaffected. Before I could jump away from him he grabbed a hold of my leg and tossed me into the wall as if I was a piece of paper. I laid there on all fours and I tried to shake off the blow. The soldier grabbed my head and smashed it into the wall. Lucky for me part of the suit shifted itself to the back of my head to absorb most of the blow. " What is this gonna do for you? Is the money really gonna make your bosses happy?" I asked as I tried to get out of his grasp.

"The Arachnos promised to reverse the effects!" He yelled.

"What are you talk…," I was frozen in my word as I saw a gruesome sight before me. When he removed his helmet all I could see was eight eyes staring back at me. There were no human features left on his face at all.

" Because of the longbow forcing me to test for a that scientist!" he yelled. A light went off in my head. I knew who this man was but as soon as I realized this I felt my body begin to go limp. The room began to fade slowly as the man slid his helmet back on. " Good night…Hero," He said. The room went dark slowly and I knew this might be it.

" Today your fate will be realized," a voice called out to me. "Wake up. Wake up It's not your time yet."

My eyes slowly opened and I could see myself still in the vault room. In the corner I could see a man in a black and green outfit tying up the three soldiers. " Well you gave us quite a scare there spider," I could hear a voice say. I looked to my left to see a man in black sun glasses leaning against the wall next to me.

"Huh," I said. A woman in the same colored outfit as the other two kneeled down next to me running a piece of tech that glowed green up and down my body.

"Well his vitals are back to normal," she said.

"Who are you people," I said as I rubbed my head.

" Well my good sir. That is a simple answer," The man in the black and green scarf said as stood up and walked toward me. " We are The Advocates of Fate." He said. " Hi! My name is Destiny," the woman in green and black said with a smile.

" My name is Darkest Blade. You may call me Darkest," The man leaning against the wall said.

" And I good sir? My name is Niko The Sickle," He said as he reached out toward me. I took his hand and stood up.

" Well I am Dark Jumping Spider," I said.

" We know who you are. We have been trying to reach you for sometime," said Niko. " We have some business to attend to. When you want to stop this solo heroing. Give us a call." A flash of light shot up from Niko blinding me quickly. As it died down I looked around to see I was in back in atlas. I looked in my hand to see a card with a symbol on it.

" The Advocates of Fate huh? Well this seems like its just going to add onto the fun of heroing," I said.
