A/N: In the last update, Spider-Boy got kidnapped after losing a fight against Dr. Octopus. Now Sherman has been unmasked in front of Peabody, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, Penny already knew so she's not that shocked. Now we get down to even more drama and action. Enjoy!
(Sherman P.O.V.)
The only thing I could do right now was just look down feeling guilty. Peabody knew I was Spider-Boy now, and so did Penny's parents.
"See what happens when a boy gets raised by a genius dog? He ends up becoming a test subject of their experiments" Dr. Octopus said. I got angry and spoke up.
"Peabody has nothing to do with what I am! It was my own foolish curiosity" Peabody walked closer to me and put a paw on my cheek.
"Sherman, what do you mean?" he asked. There's no point in lying now, he deserves to know what made me what I am now.
"Five months ago, when you took me to work with you, I wasn't really going to the bathroom. I was snooping around your lab, the one with those spiders. One of them bit me" I explained. I saw Mr. Peabody's eyes widen and he was shocked.
"And the bite made your molecular structure change and it gave you spider powers didn't it?" he asked me. I only nodded. Peabody only smiled and put his other paw on my other cheek.
"I'm not mad, Sherman" said Mr. Peabody. I looked up with my own eyes widening this time. I think I saw Dr. Octopus' eyes widen too.
"What do you mean you're not mad? He was messing around with something at your office. That proves he is a horrible child as much as you are a horrible parent!" Dr. Octopus exclaimed.
"Quiet you!" Mr. Peabody snapped. She did as she was told. He looked back to me with a smile and took a pocket knife out of his apron.
"Sherman, because of your 'Snooping Around' you're a hero now. You look out for everyone and put others before yourself. I could never wish for a better son, and I'm sure New York City could never wish for a better protector" Mr. Peabody said taking the blade out and rapidly cutting at the barbed wire that bound my arms to my body. As soon as I was cut loose, I smiled and hugged him.
"I love you dad" I told him. Normally I would get scolded for calling him that, but he just hugged me back.
"I love you too, Sherman" he told me. Dr. Octopus shadow towered over us and I turned around.
"How sweet, but Sherman is coming with me!" she said to Peabody.
"I'm not Sherman!" I yelled at her. She just laughed cruelly.
"Well, if you're not Sherman, then who are you exactly?" she asked me. I shot web out at the wall and elevator door.
"I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-Boy" Then after saying that. I slingshot myself into Dr. Octopus' stomach and knocked her to the floor. Once I landed on my hands and feet I spoke to her with an angry glare.
"And YOU were just leaving!" I yelled at her. She got up and the claws on her tentacles began snapping like lobster claws.
(Normal P.O.V.)
"Not yet I'm not!" Grunion said. She shot her tentacles at Sherman and he jumped up to the ceiling, where he clung. Sherman kept moving to different parts of the ceiling thanks to his spider senses warning him where the tentacles were gonna strike.
"Leave him alone!" a voice shouted. Grunion looked behind her to see Penny shooting water at her with the sink faucet. Now Grunion had her hair all wet and mascara dripping from her eyes. She growled at the young blonde.
"Fine, you die FIRST!" shouted the woman as she approached her.
"No she doesn't!" Sherman shouted as he swung by web into Grunion's face and knocked her out the window and into the outdoor rock garden.
"Sherman!" Penny and Peabody cried out in worry at the same time. Grunion climbed back up using her tentacles and laughed.
"And you thought I was incredibly easy to take out" she said with a sadistic glare. Grunion then took one of her tentacles and swung it across the kitchen. Peabody, Penny, Patty, and Paul ducked at the same time to avoid getting hit by the device. The kitchen counters made from marble were smashed and destroyed from the tentacle's lash.
"Not cool! Do you know how much it's gonna cost to fix that kitchen!?" shouted Spider-Boy as he was on the ceiling upside down with both hands and feet on the surface.
"More than enough money Otto Octavius would have made if he had used his own invention to help himself instead of helping others" she said to the wall crawling boy.
"What?" asked Paul. Grunion turned around and faced him.
"That's right, I stole this from the cabin Otto Octavius died in and now all the power he would have possessed if he used it for what I'm doing now is mine" she said. Peabody then growled, balling his paws into fists.
"I knew Otto Octavius, he was a good man. He wanted to change people's lives for the better. All you are is a monster who wrecks things and causes other people pain for pleasure" said Peabody. Sherman then shot his web at a frying pan that was sitting on the floor, yanked it, and the pan flew into his hand.
"Hey! Octopus breath!" shouted Sherman as he sprung off the wall and smashed her face with the frying pan he took. Her nose now began bleeding from the force Sherman had hit her with it.
"You know what? Fine! I'll take you all out!" she shouted. She then raised her tentacles and picked up two bottles of lighter fluid that were supposed to be used for the gas grill out on the deck. There were flames on the stove from Peabody's cooking. She threw the canisters of lighter fluid at the stove and the whole thing exploded.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" they screamed as they were flung out the window from the explosion. Penny, Patty, and Paul landed on the deck, but Peabody flew through the window and missed the deck.
"Mr. Peabody!" Sherman shouted diving down after his father. Sherman shot a strand of web at his father's stomach and it grabbed onto him tightly. After that, Sherman got onto a floor where there were gargoyles and tied the web around it's neck. But he was too late, just inches off the ground, the back of Peabody's head hit the top of a fire extinguisher and he was lying inches off the ground.
"NO!" Sherman shouted before jumping off the building and landed on his feet. He took the webbing off his dad and held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I never meant anything of what I said to you earlier. I just wanted to protect you, now look at what's happened. I'm a horrible person" Sherman said crying into Peabody's chest. As he cried, lightning struck and thunder could be heard, within a minute it started raining.
"Sherman!" shouted Penny. Sherman looked up to see Penny and her parents run over to him. Patty held her arms out.
"Let me see him. I'm a doctor, I can tell what's wrong" she assured him. Sherman didn't hesitate to give Mr. Peabody to her. She examined him and looked up to Sherman.
"What happened?" she asked.
"His head hit the top of a fire extinguisher" he said simply.
"Well, the good news is that he's not dead" Patty told him.
"And the bad news?" Penny asked.
"It's a concussion, a pretty bad one. He'll have to be rushed to the hospital. We can save him if we go now" Patty said. Sherman got an angered look on his face and looked up.
"Not we, just you guys. I have a score to settle with Dr. Octopus" Sherman said. He shot two webs at two street lights.
"Wait!" Penny cried out and ran over to Sherman.
"No matter what happens, I'm really glad we had pizza on top of the Chrysler Building together last night" she said to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Good luck" she said. He just gave a small nod and bent down. After jumping, the webs flung him back up the penthouse.
"Penny, come on, let's go" Paul said to his daughter. She just nodded in reply and then ran to their car with Peabody still in Patty's arms, their footsteps splashing in the rain soaked street as they ran.
A/N: There you have it, Peabody is okay with Sherman being Spider-Boy and Dr. Octopus almost made Peabody fall to his dead, but thanks to Sherman he just has a concussion and he's gonna be okay. Now the next chapter is gonna be the final battle between Sherman and Dr. Octopus, and I promise that it will be epic. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
