The days went by as I was slightly enjoying the 9th grade but wow kids are mean, damn these kids are mean, not all of them but these kids are ruthless to each other,it's like a jungle out here friends backstabbing each other, teens giving into peer pressure making really awful decisions but it's all about learning from your mistakes I guess that makes you who you are. Ganke was pissed at me for leaving him hanging back at the 7th grade but he met a guy called judge and they hit it off so its all cool.
The chitauri invasion should be happening this year that's for a fact since my spidey sense has been ringing warning me of it. It does get annoying but it's easy to get used to when you can multitask.
I was hiding on the ceiling of the scorpion base still in camo mode,quietly observing my targets, mapping out the whole area for anything I might have missed I didn't want any unexpected surprises.
I was about to strike the scorpion gang.
It was a Mexican gang with little history in the U.S The Mexican mob boss came to Brooklyn running from an enemy gang in Mexico, he saw the vacuum of power left by hammerhead as his opportunity to rise again prompting the recent rising rate of crime and gang violence.
You know I try to be good I really do but when people turn to animals I really have a hard time controlling myself, I did give him a chance to take the easy way out but he spat on my offer so this is me showing him the hard way.
He was a vicious ,ruthless, homicidal man with a god complex the size of the moon, yes a god complex with the whole "leading you all to the promised land" speech, saying he was sent by fate.
Nasty scars covered his body some short some long, running from his head over one of his eyes others all the way from his back through his whole body, he was proud of his scars as he openly displayed them wearing only a tank top, black jeans and combat boots.
He had wide pierced nose, a very hoarse voice and he used a hook chain as his main weapon…...isn't this guy a meaner version of captain hook?
I was in stealth watching scorpion get drunk on beer with women on both sides of him, his goons were around the room sipping on alcohol loitering and laughing about.
I only had to take down the scorpion and incapacitate his goons.
I slowly crept down the ceiling no one noticing even the tiniest of movements I stood right before the man himself, scorpion.
He never noticed me as he was busy addressing his men.
"This is our opportunity to rise and expand our territory, these people need a leader and fate has brought me here for that reason, I will take you to New heights to our promised land(told you). Scorpions RISE!"
"scorpions forever!" his men shouted.
He never noticed the gun pointed at his head, he never noticed the bullet tearing through his skull splattering his brains all over the two women to the graffiti filled wall.
"what the hell! Boss!"
"Boss!Boss! motherf*cker!"
"f*cking coward! you b*stard!" the thugs shout over the screams of the cowering girls.
Aiming their guns at me as I got out of camo drawing all the attention towards myself, Everything starts slowing down as my spidey sense kicks in, my body using the most optimal path to respond to the inputs from my spidey sense getting the job done.
I move like a blur through them taking them out and restraining them making sure to not kill them, I only kill monsters, another reason is that mindless killings would draw the ire of Shield and other heroes but I guess the punisher would be proud. They would allow me leeway if I had principles on how I operated but if I was acted maniacal I would be very restricted.
I made sure the girls were OK didn't want collateral damage.
I take out monsters and that guy was one. What?should I have given a grand speech and fought to the bitter end standing victorious over my fallen foe? Yeah this is reality I won't act retarded, do what has to be done in the most effectively efficient way possible, the winners write history. But I do have to say since I went through the isotope 1 enhancement I have become somewhat less sympathetic towards killing, I did notice it was caused by the biological processes my evolved body has been going through I am not a normal human being anymore I am gradually changing evolving into something better.
I locate their safe breaking it open and taking all the cash available into a duffle bag. It was for the girls,the ones here, the dead ones and the ones still trapped.
Jenni had directed me to a good friend of hers who dealt with cases like theirs providing a shelter,training and jobs for them.
When did I start using guns? When I started to smarten up to better deal with the world. Spiderman brings hope I bring fear to criminals.
Moving out of the room by breaking the wall (no obstacles) directly making a path to the place where the girls were held through
"Boss I notified James earlier and he should be here soon" "thanks April"
"Gather around ladies, no need to be afraid it's alright now you're safe someone will be here to help you all. Here have this" I hand them all some cash prompting them to hide it in….places….moving on.
I could hear the sirens but James was already here his vehicle spearheading the others.
James Mathers a young energetic guy, had a bright personality the kind that makes the world seem like a better face but don't let that look fool you, he is one driven individual, his results spoke for themselves.
He parked his vehicle right at the front of the building as I was coming out with the girls. I could hear his heart thumping loudly in his chest.
"Here, hide it" I hand him the whole bag which he does.
I don't need the money anymore I had enough of it using my AI to steal millions from mobsters to further my goals didn't leave me hanging dry and that's still me limiting myself if I ever needed to I'd steal billions.
"You know what to do, make sure you take care of the girls" he'll handle the situation well this wasn't our first time doing this.
"You make it sound like we're married"
I silently facepalm one thing exhausts me about James are his damn jokes.
He once told me he was waiting for a movie called constipation and just stopped the guy never finished the damn joke, how do I know if it came out or not.(get it cuz its constipation and…nevermind)
"t-..thank you...sir" I look behind me and notice a petite looking cutie(she was) of Latin descent looking up at me with one of many beautiful eyes I've seen in the MCU but it's the deep gratitude visible in them that overshadows all other feelings, for that moment everything seems quiet.
'is this where we kiss? I'm not really into that'
"Boss the schedule" April announced breaking the moment "right! No problem miss you take care of yourself." I say as I begin to swing away. "you know April you sounded almost jealous" "No such thing boss you must have imagined it" April this isn't an anime but let's just set it aside for now.
The moment my spidey sense went off April made an announcement "boss the western division shield base just blew up"
'Loki is here'
Here comes the chitauri and their tech, I know I know. Why not stop the invasion why not save all the people who would die.
For all of you that would die I am very sorry but if the invasion doesn't happen I won't have alien tech that I very much need. And if the invasion doesn't happen now then it'll happen later and they will come in larger numbers and more prepared to absolutely decimate the earth, Plus the invasion is the main reason the avengers even got together, what would the world be like without the avengers.
It was time for me to do what I've been putting off since last year.
Unbreakable skin was my next course of enhancement I wanted to be able to Fully tank a full hit from the hulk and just get back up without any substantial injury having nigh impenetrable skin would affect my whole physiology not only my skin.
All my powers will be augmented It would put me right at hulks level of durability with all my prior enhancements and abilities I will have an edge over him with my active spidey sense warning me of danger.
I could fight Thor but with a hit from his hammer the blunt force would do some damage before my healing factor kicks in.
It took this long because I didn't want shield knowing of what I've been doing to myself the only thing they know is that I stole some tech they have no idea how I got my powers or what exactly my powers were,that was great news for me and I would like to keep it that way it puts me in a great situation allowing me to state that all abilities I display are my powers evolving.
"April make preparations for project ironskin, and get the spider armour ready" yes spider armour no matter how much power you have sufficient armour always helps.
My armour would be like the Iron Man suits I would constantly strive to improve them and myself just because I have superpowers doesn't mean I can't have a super armour I won't throw away my common sense by abandoning protection just because it's not naturally part of me, advanced technology is one of the keys to acquiring godhood by getting to a singularity what I'm trying to say is that technology shouldn't be looked down on.
The spider armour mk 2 is a larger heavier version of my black spider suit with the classic red and vantablack colour scheme, heavy because of the added full body armour plates, the spider emblems were enlarged and very defined making the weblines now extend all the way to my torso I got rid of the ones around the head, leaving the eyes with a glow alternating from a demonic red to a bright white in respect to my emotional state, my web shooters have been improved into gauntlets with rotating cartridges no need for manual refills anymore it only needs the cartridge magazine from my utility belt, the arms of my suit have ports for my stingers to protrude from without destroying the armour.
Retractable slim profile thigh holsters like those of robocop on my thighs for guns yes guns I already told you why.
The helmet retracts sideways from the middle like that of the destroyer instead of downwards with my new and improved half face mask beneath it.
The utility belt had micro drones doubling as trackers as well now operated by april, improved techno shurikens, electroadhesive explosives, smoke pellets(fog,knockout gas, teargas) and alot more.
The suit was tricked out with tech that would guarantee an easier life of heroism for me.
The iron skin project was the luke cage treatment.
I had already gotten everything prepared for the process of Noah Burstein's electro-biochemical process. The equipment and needed tools weren't a hassle to acquire at all with money, milking my shield status for all its worth I knew the right place to get them.
The process was going to be messy very very messy so I had to get a secluded safe place which April had already done instead of erasing the paper trail she left a believable one behind that would lead any trackers in circles.
Let's get my parents out for the week so nothing seems out of the ordinary when I disappear.
They have been wondering how they've been getting lucky lately with winning dinners,trips and spa retreats "heh" they should know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Let's get started.
The smell of acids and sterilizer assaulting my senses.
I was lying on the metal platform positioned directly above the tub of Burstein's electro biochemical solution.
I held on tightly since I had nothing restraining me any restraints on me would be useless when you have super strength easily breaking them apart I had already administered some substances to numb my nerves and reduce pain.
Mustering my courage I gave April the go ahead.
"Alright April let's start the process"
"Boss there is a high chance of failure are you sure you want to proceed?"
"April high risks have higher rewards"
"This is your life on the line boss you could die" I could sense something close to distress in her voice.
My spidey sense was warning me not to do it probably because of the pain I would go go through, the ringing sensation wasn't at the intensity of Mortal danger.
"April I know what I'm doing, commence the process"
"OK boss"
As the platform was slowly being lowered into the tub of chemicals I could have sworn I heard gloomy music.
"April speed it up, no need for dramatics" as soon as those words left my mouth I was lowered into the steaming hot chemical bath. I already gave April orders on what to do.
"Raising power to maximum" the chemical bath started boiling and bubbling eating its way through my skin introducing boiling hot searing pain to my senses. This was the critical moment and I made was going to make the most of it.
I activated my bioelectricity pushing the boiling intensity to new levels.
"Boss! the power level's going past maximum value" I turned up the intensity by channeling my chi into my bioelectricity.
My eyes started to burn as the chemical ate through the protection causing me to close them shut but not before seeing silver sparks dancing all over the bath.
My stingers involuntarily protruding from my wrist.
"Boss! The power has gone past the critical Max. Boss!" I knew April was saying something but I just didn't know what, I couldn't hear her over my burning ears, over the crippling pain, over the blaring spidey sense, I almost screamed but that would just kill me faster,I couldn't even try getting up because my body wouldn't listen to me.
'April I pray to all things holy if you can hear me shut it off now'
She didn't have to because the
My wildly trashing body destroyed the tub causing the contents to spill out of it I felt my body sliding to a stop.
It was all silent very very silent as I try to slowly make sense of my situation.
I just lay on the cold floor, noticing that I could actually tell the temperature again meant that I was slowly getting my senses back.
Then came the ringing in my ear as the voice of April became slightly clear.
"B..s...r..u..i..ght?" I couldn't reply I was just too tired.
My vision turning clear I saw the destruction done to room.
The parts of the tub scattered across the room the chemical compromised it's integrity and my trashing about finished it, The chemical ate through parts of the flooring exposing the bare blocks,the metal platform was partially melted.
I noticed that my stingers were still outside my arm as I slowly drew them back in.
I was gradually beginning to feel better as my healing factor kicked in promoting me to carefully get back on my feet.
I was fully naked there was no article of clothing on my body.(I have a nice ass if I do say so myself.)
The results from project iron skin stated that I now had extremely-dense skin and muscle tissue, adding more strength and durability to my already enhanced body significantly increasing my weight I was definitely heavier than I looked very heavy.
Ahhh….the damn bliss.
Let me tell you the bliss you get from watching in astonishment as the knife flattens against your eyeball with you barely even feeling it due to the skin absorbing the impact, It takes special kind of balls to watch a knife edge stab your eye I was either slightly insane or very ruthless to myself. Imagine me if I treated my neighbor as myself (hehe), I would use my guns but I didn't bring them to this place the point is I was invulnerable dammit that was epic can you imagine it, I had bullet proof skin and tissue. It might seem like a minor enhancement for the people of the MCU but for me a person coming from Earth Prime this was epic this was super sick everyone who has ever seen superman would understand and damn I was halfway there to becoming superman I was very pleased.
My process was very different from Luke cage's, my body was already enhanced when I went through the procedure causing the effects to become more pronounced that Luke's ever were or will be.
The density of my stingers were increased granting them a deadly sharp edge with an overall darker hue, sharp and strong enough to pierce my skin with some force (well force for me is relative with super strength and all) they had also been affected by the same procedure granting them superb characteristics that was the only reason they could even prick my skin.
I don't really like self harm but it's hard to resist when you have unbreakable skin.
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and I had already done my chores.
So right now I was lazily browsing through my phone while sticking upside down on the corner of the ceiling.
I was looking at memes online trying to get some sort of entertainment.
"Boss your mom is coming"
April warned me as I heard a knock on my door compelling me to instantly drop down from the ceiling landing on the soft spongy bed.
"Miles hon you have visitors from school" today was a Sunday why would anyone from school visit me.
"Alright ma I'm getting dressed"
I heard her mutter "I wonder why?" as she was leaving.
"I'm not doing anything suspicious ma!"
"of course you weren't" I know she's being sarcastic, I wanted to defend myself but saying anything else would act to prove otherwise.
"April who came to the house"
"Boss it's people from an organization involved in research and development, Shield also just sent a message saying the avengers initiative has been put into action"
I put my phone away and went to the sitting room.
"Miles come meet Mr Jones and Miss Smith they're from the centre for scientific research and innovations" These people were probably sent my way by shield, making a valid excuse for me to be away from home and school for a while.
"Hi I'm Miles Morales nice to you"
"Nice to meet you as well Mr Morales" they had smiles plastered over their faces.
"So uhh how can I help you" I asked I knew what they were here for but I wanted to know what excuse shield would use.
"We at C.S.R.I look for innovative Young Minds who bring fresh ideas on the platform for making the world a better place and you Mr Morales fit the criteria.
We would like a person with a unique perspective such as yours onboard our program, you will get to meet others who share the same enthusiasm as yours, it is a fully sponsored program and you won't have to spend a cent." he hands my parents a brochure detailing the whole program.
"You won't have to worry about your school since we work in conjunction with the education sector." That Was The nail in the coffin, I could see my parent's eyes glowing they were proud that I was being recruited by a high standard organization.
Nice move Nick well played I couldn't be able to back out without disappointing my parents, since I always went out for one science fare to another it would be suspicious if I didn't even go to one I was invited to, one as prestigious as C. S. R. I
"wow I'm so impressed this is all I ever wanted." I made deadpanned sarcastic remark that they out right ignored
I did get an elbow tug from my mom.
"Miles this is great for you, a place where you can get sciency with other nerds" my dad joked.
"Oww OK Rio I'm sorry"
"Thank you all for granting him such an opportunity, my little genius will always make me proud" my mom looked at me with loving eyes.
"what do you say little guy do you want to be apart of their program" I looked his eyes and I knew I couldn't be able to deny him this. So I did what was best for us all.
"Yes Dad it's an opportunity I can't pass up on"
"Great choice Mr Morales we assure you that you have made the right decision,now we just need your parents signatures and some paperwork"
'These smug bastards'
I went back to my room.
"April back everything up and encrypt it were leaving for awhile oh and get the spider armour mk 2 ready."
"Whooooohooo!" If I ride I ride in style baby!. I wasn't an adrenaline junkie but I could get used to this type of excitement,whats the use of powers if you can't enjoy them.
I was sticking onto the exterior of a Shield jet that was going at subsonic speeds the wind beating against my armour was barely even sufficient to make me lose my spider powered grip I had on the jet, the air resistance would've destroyed my organs had I not been enhanced.
"Boss we'll arrive at the shield helicarrier in 5 seconds"
"Alright April, deploy the nano tracers."
A micro compartment on the back of my footwear opened up letting nanobots the size of grains exit and then spread out through the jet, after it lands they would occupy the shield helicarrier.
"Nano tracers deployed and active"
The nano tracers would be necessary if I wanted to always have Shield's current location on hand, if I ever needed to find them that is.
The jet was slowing down and hovering as it prepared to land.
Now to execute a perfect landing.
I put strength into my legs and leaped off the jets exterior shooting off into the distance.(I really should get around to playing basketball) using a frontflip to alter my center of gravity I made a classic hero landing.(deadpool was right) The personnels paused to stare in amazement at my actions. I saw Captain America tensing up in preparation for battle Black widow had a small smirk on her face finding it all amusing. Steve Rogers looks larger than he did in the movies, he was an amazing specimen of humanity's very peak, his hair was almost glowing 'Beautiful bastard'.
I approached him one step at a time, I stood before him and extended out my arm "It's an honor meeting you Mr Rogers, I must say you look nothing like an octogenarian" it takes him a moment to get it as he smiles,before he reaches out to shake mine "The Spider nice meeting you as well" what a firm handshake, the helmet collapsed sideways leaving only my half face mask on, making the upper parts of my face visible displaying my brown eyes and black short black hair.
He was surprised, probably at my age.
"Hey arc, glad you could make it" Natasha drew the attention, arc originated as a shortened form of the arachnid, when they don't call me black spider. Well I was a shield agent so I did have to go out on some missions and I met other shield agents while at it.
"Nice seeing you Nat, I heard you had a blast at Budapest, talking of Budapest where's Robin hood(heh hawkeye)"
"Barton is unavailable"
'of course he's under Loki's control' Steve gave her a look but she just shrugged it off.
That's when another jet landed with Bruce Banner exiting it.
We approached him with Captain America extending out his arm for a shake.
"Dr banner" "Uh yea Hi they told me you'd be coming" he looks at me "You I never heard about" "I'm the new guy" I replied.
"Word is you can find the cube" "Is that the only word of me?" "It's the only word he cares about" my bad it was just too tempting to resist. Earning me a look from Captain and Banner.
"Dr Banner I have studied your work extensively and your contribution to the research on gamma rays is revolutionary, absolutely unparalleled, we should talk more about it when we get inside."
A smile slowly spreads across his face, he was pleased to meet another intellectual in the same field.
"gentleman you might want to step inside in a minute, it's gonna get a little hard to breathe" Natasha announced.
'it won't be for me'
"Is this a submarine" Steve asked as we walked towards the edge "Nope it's a flying ship, I mean it really." he thought I was being sarcastic. "oh that's even worse" Banner stated as the ship slowly began to rise from the water casing the rotors to become visible, alarms blaring, personnel running towards the main infrastructure in an orderly fashion after securing the jets.
This is why I love the MCU it makes the word "impossible" seem obsolete. Is this the 8th Wonder of the world because it would be on earth prime.
A military base in the air shouldn't it be called an Air Force(heh Air Force since its in the air and...moving on).
Let's get this started.
