Sinister Six
The young hero looked down into the Petri dish through a microscope. "Cellular regeneration process is starting." the teen said to Dr. Chapal, he stood by with a clipboard on the table writing in the times while a clock counted the seconds.
"How fast is the cell growth?" the scientist asked.
Jason counted off until he saw the nucleus of a cell begin to split away from another, "Five point three seconds I think. At this rate the sample should grow back to its full state after..." Jason tired to think of a number but was too busy just staring down into the cell.
With this, they could change the world for the better.
Chapal thought for a moment, "I'd say about sixteen hours. It would quadruple that on a fully grown human." the scientist said with a hopeful smile. "It's better than taking years for it to happen." he added.
Jason smiled, "Well that, and imagine just how gross it would look. This is partial dragon DNA, I'd would not like to have a scaly toe." the teen lightly joked as Chapal recorded the time.
"It could be made of slime for all I care, it would only be temporary anyway. The skin would shed after a prolonged period of time always." he explained.
Jason put a lid over the Petri dish, "Like lizards shedding skin. Why didn't we use lizard DNA again and instead Dragon?" The teen asked as he put the dish carefully into it's container, "I mean there's only a handful of them left, last thing we want is another near extinction." the teen pointed out.
Chapal finished writing times on the board before looking at the teen, "I thought the same. And we could actually do the same with lizards, but we would need tremendous DNA samples from almost every type of reptile todo so. And it would take decades to catalog all them." he explained as the teen removed his lab coat.
"And since dragons are the purest form of lizards, it's much better to take a sample form them." the doctor said as the two walked over to their lockers and put the coats away.
"So...do you Uh...need me for anything else?" the teen asked hesitantly.
Chapal smiled, "Jason. I may be old but I'm not a fool. It's the weekend, if you have someone to meet then just ask to leave early." the man said as he patted the teen's shoulder with one hand.
The young hero let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks doc. My girlfriend and I are heading out and I'll get this look if I'm late again." the teen explained, making Chapal laugh.
"Your father used to tell me the same thing. At first I didn't believe it...but then I saw the look she gave him." he said, letting out a small shutter along with the teen. His mother could look scary when she wanted to.
"Have fun Jason. I'll see you tomorrow." the doctor called out as Jason headed towards the exit. The teen waved him goodbye as he exited the room, wanting to make sure he got to his girlfriend before he got 'the look'.
Chapal waited until he was absolutely sure the teen was gone before heading back to his locker and taking it this coat. He hurried over to the container that Jason put away in the bio container and took out the Petri dish.
The sample was still regenerating at the expected rate, which is just what Chapal was expecting. The scientist walked to his lab table, on the table where his instruments and beakers, one of them filled with the formula that was responsible for the rapid cell growth.
Chapal took a syringe full of the substance and headed to the animal testing area.
…
Jason looked up to the sky with a content smile, Akiko suggested that the two of them go to the park for a picnic. After eating the two decided to just enjoy the peaceful day. Akiko laid her head against Jason's firm chest, using it as a pillow as the sun's rays warming two two like a blanket.
Akiko smirked as she played with the necklace Jason wore between her fingers. She laid against the teen's side with one of his arms around her waist with the other resting against the back of his head, "This is kinda weird." she said, her voice showing happiness of all things.
Jason lifted his head slightly to look at her, "What is? That we're enjoying a nice little date at the park?" he asked.
Akiko rubbed the blue stone lightly with her thumb, "Well that, and the fact that it's been pretty normal for you lately." she explained. "I mean usually we wouldn't be doing this because you have some supervillan to stop or something."
Jason nodded in agreement, for the past week since meeting Daredevil there had been no big things going on. Just he usual petty crimes that he easily stopped, and ever since he got the task force off his back, he's been going non-stop lately.
"You almost sound like your complaining." he commented, tightening his grip on her waist ever so slightly.
Akiko let out a small giggle, "No, I'm not. In saying that I love this new change of pace." she said as she let the young hero's necklace fall to his chest. She inched her hands up to the sides of his face, "Gives me more time with my hero." she said as she pulled herself up so that her face was over his.
"We need to think of a new nickname for me." the teen commented.
"What's wrong with 'hero'? It fits you." she said with a small pout.
"Well I get called hero everyday. I call you Aki because barely anyone call you it, that and babe because...well you are pretty hot." he said, making both their faces flush red.
"I'm hot now am I?" she asked with a predatory smirk as she leaned down towards the teen's face.
"Well your a Firebender so technically-" he started before Akiko sealed his lips with hers.
This is the only way to shut Spider-Man up. Thank god the bad guys don't know that, although that'd be fricking hilarious. Akiko thought as Jason lightly pulled at her lips. She slowly pulled her lips away from the teen's, "Down boy." she mumbled against his flesh, Jason reluctantly pulled away from the girl, a playful smile on her face.
"Come on we've made out before." he pointed out.
"Yeah but we weren't in public." she counted, gesturing to the open space of the park. People on the path that went through the park paid the young couple no mind, but that didn't mean that would last forever.
"Ok yea good point. Want me to carry you up to a rooftop?" he asked, earning himself a light snack in the chest. Jason rolled his eyes before closing his arms around her and rolled her over, making her let out a small squeal.
"Jason I swear to god-" she started as the two's noses touched, "-I fricking hate you." she stated with a smile playing on her face.
"I love you to." he said before pressing his lips to her nose. No supervillans, no gang wars, I can definitely get used to this. the teen thought as he laid his head beside Akiko's.
…
Doc Ock sat at a small table in his old abandoned lab. It was offsite from Future Industries' main factory. His work in the new and dangerous field of nuclear radiation, which of course was the reason he got where he is today.
The rest of Sinister Six where readying themselves for their upcoming encounter with Spider-Man. Otto knew that they where all ready, but he did have a plan in place for the Sandman.
"Hey Doc." the ex-scientist turned to the door to see the man in question, light brown trench coat and all. "I'm ready. We doing this or what?" the man asked as Otto turned and got up, using one of his extra arms to push in the chair behind him.
"I feel that I should warn you again Marko that this is very dangerous. You may not survive." the doctor warned as the two made their way down to the lab. Despite being de-commissioned, the lab still had nuclear energy stored up, though not much.
Marco shrugged, "Look if this thing does what you say it does than it's worth it. Besides, if it doesn't work then I'm sure you'll find a way to put me all back together." the man explained his reasoning.
Otto hadn't told him that there was a good chance he may not survive. "Yes there is always that. Now come along, the sooner this gets done, the better." and he wasn't planing on telling him anytime soon.
The two entered the lab, in the room was a number of control panels witch operated the machine. "Go into the room on the other side of the glass if you would." he said as he approached the control panels, his tentacles outstretching to reach the leavers and switches to start up the machine.
Sandman only nodded as he fallowed the signs that read 'test site'. MArko entered the room, on the ground was hundreds of pounds of sand. "Hope I don't get big as a blimp after this." he said to himself as he let his coat join the sand as he walked towards the center of the room.
Around the center of the room was two metal rods that connected to the ceiling, sticking into the sand. Marko stood between them as Doc Ock's voice came on speaker, 'Commencing in 5-4-3-2-1. Start." Otto said as his arms pulled the leavers on either sides of the room down.
The metal rods on either side of Marko started to hum. He felt the hairs on ha head and arms start to stand up, the metal rods where no longer stationary and where bringing to move in a circular motion around Marko. The man bent the sand so that it covered him head to toe, not leaving a hint of skin on his form.
The rods began to pick up speed, the radiation coming off them pouring into Marko, he felt...something change. He couldn't describe it, like his skin was getting chapped and cracked all over. But the pain started to intensify, he tired to bite back a cry but it escaped his lips and screamed as the sand began to melt.
First was the arms, then the legs, then the body. Until nothing but a pile of sand remained.
When the machine started to power down, Otto lifted the bast shields that covered the windows. He waited. And waited. And waited.
Then the sand shifted until a mass started to form in the center of it. First came the body, then the legs, the arms, the hands, and finally the head. Bits of sand started falling away, showing the man's features as color returned to his green and black striped shirt and beige pants.
"Now your a real Sandman Marko." Otto muttered with a sinister smile.
…
"So your big day is on Monday. Have any plans?" Akiko asked her boyfriend as they walked with their arms around each other. The two where on their way to Akiko's home, Jason insisted on dropping her off at her door. Mom would kill me if I didn't offer, and I mean like crawl out of the grave and strangle me if I didn't. The teen thought with a small shutter.
"I was just thinking doing the same that we did today." he explained with a shrug of his shoulders.
Akiko gave her boyfriend a strange look, "Oh come on. Not even a little party?" she asked. "It's like your trying to make your life sad. And it's working, more than you want it to." she said, poking him in the chest with a accusing look.
Jason smiled, "No my life is crazy. Not sad. Besides I didn't tell Aunt Pema and them either, they have enough to worry about with her being with child...ew." he added the last part with a disgusted face.
Akiko rolled her eyes, "God you act like sex is a disease." she said. Her cheeks started to burn, "You know...at one point...when we're both ready...we might...yeah." she said awkwardly as Jason's fave got brighter and brighter, matching hers.
"We...could talk about it. At one point." he offered.
"We should talk about it...even if it's like super weird." Akiko said in agreement
"No it'd be super fricking awkward is what it would be. Well, may be...at one point." he explained. This must be the first time in my life I wish that Jason had to go save the day to get away from me. Akiko thought as her cheeks got even more brighter.
The sound of sirens never brought more relief to the both of them, "Well that's your cue. Love you." she said with the tiniest bit of relief in her voice as she pressed her lips to his cheek.
"You too." Jason said as he headed towards a nearby alleyway. The teen looked to make sure no one fallowed him before jumping to the side of the building and crawling up the side of it. When he reached the rooftop he changed into his Spider-Man costume and left his clothes in a ball of webbing.
The teen shot a webline to the side of a building and pulled back on it with both hands before shooting into the air. The teen let his arms fail back before firing another line to the wall of a building and falling and swinging on the web. The teen swung past the building before letting go of the web and heading towards the sounds of the sirens.
As much as I'm grateful from getting away from that awkward conversation, I can't help but get a bad feeling. The teen thought as he swung down between car lanes and flying into the air.
I mean the last big threat I really faced was Carrion and that was over two weeks ago or something. I just got this real bad feeling, like my luck is gonna come back in force. Jason thought as bounced off a lamppost before attacking a web to a nearby building and swinging around it.
The young hero swung on the line down the street for a few feet before letting go and landing on a streetlamp and perching himself. "Ok...forget what I was thinking." The teen said aloud as he observed the sight before him.
Down the street was a man in what looked like silver armor, his face covered by a silver mask that clung tightly to his face. But he was ten stories above ground.
How? Stilts.
Very. Very. Very long stilts.
Don't laugh, this guy could actually be pretty dangerous. Just resist the urge. Jason thought as the man turned down the street. "HEAR ME CITIZENS!" he yelled down. Oh thank you God. "I AM THE PLUGE OF THIS CITY, I AM WHAT YOU SHIULD FEAR! I AM STILT MAN!" he yelled proudly.
By now many of the people on the street below had taken notice and where looking up at the man. Jason couldn't hold it in anymore, "BWA HAHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY GOD! YOUR SERIOUSLY CALLING YOURSELF STILT MAN! AHHAHAHAHAGAAAAHHH!" Jason howled in laughter as he clutched his gut.
Slit man lowered his legs above the street lamps. "You dare mock me Spider-Man! I who-"
"OH NO, PLEASE IM GONNA...GONNA... I'M GONNA SNEEZE WEBBS! HAHAGA!" Spider-Man said before falling off the streetlamp and to the street where civilians where watching the exchange, surprised by the display that they where seeing.
Spider-Man was literally rolling on the ground laughing. Stilt man waved his blowtorch in his hand menacingly, "You shall feel my wrath soon Spider-Man!" he said as he started to walk away.
Jason wiped the tears out of his eyes as someone came up to him, "Uhhh...Spidy. Are you gonna stop him or what?" he asked as the teen got up from the ground.
The teen cleared his throat, "Yes. And I shall do it using one of the most ancient of super hero moves." he said as he got into a fake fighting stance. The teen drew his arm back, "Hiiiiiiiiii-" he shot out his hand and shot a thick webline right on the man's leg, "Trip." he finished as he pulled on the web and made the man fall.
The teen and man winced as the man's head came down ontop of a food cart.
The two stood silent for a moment before the man spoke up, "You where completely joking weren't you?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yep. Gotta run, see ya dude." he said as jumped into the air and shot a webline to a building and swinging away from the 'villain' that was laying in food.
…
"Now that we're all here. Shall we begin?" Doc Ock asked as the members of the Sinister Six all gathered around a table. Everyone, save for Rhino, was sitting around the table, with Doc Ock's metal arms each holding something. "Now, the first thing that we should do is find the pest. Kraven?"
One of the arms laid a map of Republic City, facing the hunter, "I've studied our prey from a distance. He is mostly seen around Dragon's Borough district, the financial district, and the docks of the city." he explained, pointing to the places on the map.
"I suggest that we make the fight on our terms, we make the battle ours, and he will fall quickly. That is when we strike." he said decisively.
Otto nodded, "That seems like the best strategic plan we have. Sandman will hit him first, take him off guard with his new abilities so that we can catch him off guard as well."
The other five nodded in agreement, "So. Here's what we shall do." Otto said as the others leaned in to listen to the ex-scientist's plan.
…
Jason was still snorting to himself as he typed up his encounter with Stilt Man. Man I just get all the weird ones don't I? Wonder if Daredevil has to deal with these types of crazies? The teen wondered as he took the paper from his type writer.
"You've been giggling to yourself about that Stilt guy for about a hour. Seriously kid
get a grip, it's not that funny." Whitney said across from Jason pointedly.
Jason smiled, "Whitney you should have been there. This guy was just plain sad, I mean anyone could beat this guy if they lust held out their leg in front of him." he explained, trying to get the man's ridiculousness across.
Whitney rolled her eyes but smirked nonetheless, "Your too easily amused. You know that?" she asked.
"I've been told." the teen said.
After turning in the paper to Stan, who got a good laugh out of it, Jason returned to his desk and gathered his things along with Whitney, "So a little birdie told me that your birthday is Monday. What's with all the secrets? Trying to kick me out of your life?" Whitney teasingly asked as they passed a mail boy.
Jason shook his head, "No it's not that. It's just...me and my mom used to do some nice stuff on my birthday. But...yeah." he trailed off.
Whitney looked at the teen with a sad expression, "Oh...I'm sorry." she apologized. Jason eventually told her that his mother passed and that was the reason for him getting his job in the first place. "You know I could probably take you somewhere. If you want." she offered, trying to cheer the teen up.
Jason gave her a sad smile as they entered the elevator, "Nah. I think I'm gonna spend the day with Akiko." he said, making Whitney give him a sly smile.
"You little hound dog. I knew you had it in ya!" she said encouragingly, patting the teen on the back.
Jason's eyes widened, "No! No no no no. We haven't done that." he said firmly, his cheeks burning with pink.
Whitney rolled her eyes at the teen's flustered response, "You must be the only teenager I know who is such a prude about it." she said as the elevator doors opened.
"How many teenagers do you know?" the teen questioned. Whitney stays silent as they walked to the entrance of the Marvel. "That's what I thought." Jason said smugly.
"Shut up." Whitney shot back.
Jason was about to reply when his Spider-Sense started up like a car engine. The two exited the building, "Whitney I-GAHHH!" he let out a yelp as something wrapped around his leg along with Whitney and hoisted them into the air. The two where brought face to face with Doc Ock.
Two of his metal arms where suspending the two in midair while two others held him in place on the side of the building. "Sorry to disturb you two. But I was wondering if you two could tell me something." he started as Whitney tried to wiggle free.
"Ok it's true, there are no gators in the sewers." Jason answered cheekily. In fact he was scared out of his mind. Does he know? Does he know I'm Spider-Man? No. There's no way-
"I am searching for Jason O-rou. The one who writes about Spider-Man." he explained. Damnit. I just had to think it, me and my stupid, stupid mouth. Jason inwardly cursed himself.
Whitney looked over to the teen, "Uhhh..." for once in her life she didn't know what in the world to say.
Otto righted his grip on their legs, "I will not ask again." he said as the two's faces reflected in his pitch black goggles.
Jason sighed, "It's me. I write all the Spider-Man stuff." he said, making Ock bring the teen closer.
Otto looked at the teen strangely, "I expected someone..."
"With more hair on their body? Yeah I get that a lot." the teen admitted. Sorry to say that was actually true.
"Hair aside, you must meet Spider-Man no?" he asked, the teen nodded, "Are you meeting him tonight?" the man questioned.
Jason gulped, "Y-yea. I am." he lied. Making Whitney shoot him a look.
"Have Spider-Man meet me at 5:00 pm tomorrow, in the middle of the city." he said before letting the teen down but leaving Whitney with him as she tried to get out of his grip, "Or she dies." he said coldly as he moved her from one arm to another and pounced off the building with his arms and carried her with him.
"Let me go! Put me down you...you..." she started as they started getting higher and higher. "On second thought never mind." she said in a small voice as she clung to the metal for dear life.
Jason could only watch as Whitney disappeared around the corner of a building. If I went after him as Spider-Man he could put two and two together quick enough. And he may hurt Whitney if I tried to go after him now. Jason thought, "I'm trapped right now. And so is Whitney."
…
"It's a trap. It has got to be a trap." Akiko said after Jason told her about what happened hours before. Jason was on the wall in her room with his head in his hand, Akiko's parents and brother where out of town for the weekend and had left Akiko in charge of house sitting.
The teen nodded, "Obviously. All I'm missing is a ghost town and we have ourselves a little old stare down and viola, showdown." he said jokingly.
Akiko rolled her eyes, "You know what I mean. Look, can't you call Daredevil or someone to help out? Tomorrow is your birthday after all." she pointed out as Jason dropped to the floor.
"I don't get vacation days you know." he pointed out. Akiko crossed her arms over her chest as she laid backdown onto the bed, "Look something's up with you. You've been all...protective lately. And it's starting to worry me, is everything all right?" the teen asked as he sat down next to her.
Akiko looked at him critically, "Your asking me that when you have to go fight a supervillan tomorrow!?" she asked heatedly.
"Yep." was Jason's simple response. He reached out a hand to hers and grasped it, "You are much more important to me than some stupid bad guy." he said truthfully.
Akiko let out a long sigh, "I worry about you. Everyday at one point I just think, 'Is this the day? Is this going to be the day he dies?' And I hate thinking about it." she confessed as she put a hand over her eyes. "I know you can handle the small guys. But it's with the big ones that I worry."
Jason took that in. If he and Aki where in opposite shoes would he be scared of her never coming back? Never seeing her smile again? The answer was really simple, hell yes he would be scared. The teen raised his hand over her hers and lightly gripped it and pulled it away from her eyes.
Her blue orbs looked into his, "How about this, I promise, that whenever I face a bad guy, I'll check in with you? I'll call, or better yet come by on the day it happens." he suggested.
Akiko thought for a moment, it was a good start. But not exactly full proof, But then again what is full proof? the girl thought. "Ok...but you get to me as soon as you can. Alright?" she said, setting he ground rules with a firm stare.
Jason smiled, "Sure. Whatever you say babe." he said as he laid down beside her. "Would you like something else? World peace? A wild Sky Bison? Anything for my love." the teen said jokingly with a smile.
Akiko thought for a moment, "What about a puppy?" she asked.
"No." the teen stated firmly.
"What happened to 'Anything'?" she asked.
"It went right out the window and took a bus when something with something less than six legs came up." the teen explained.
Akiko smiled as she smacked the teen's chest. "So basically insets and bugs. Ewww." she said at the thought of a collection of bugs and such.
"And spiders. Don't forget spiders." Jason added in, making the girl shutter. "Hey! That's my extended family I might add." the teen said, making the girl let out a groan of disgust.
Akiko gained a worried look, "I hope Whitney is ok." she said sadly.
Jason laughed, "If anything I hope Otto has the patience of a saint. She's probably talking his ear off right now."
(Meanwhile)
"So you underwent a experiment, by a former scientist without completely knowing what might happen?" Whitney asked as Marko sat on guard duty on the other side of the clear door.
Whitney was temporarily being kept in a testing room with a fully operating bath room and bed. Sandman nodded tiredly, "For the hundredth fricking time lady. YES! Now could you just fall asleep or something! I need to rest too."
(Back at Akiko's house)
Aki shrugged, "Yeah I'm sure she's fine. I don't think Doc Ock is that evil." she said, looking up at the ceiling. "Imagine if he was a hero. Wouldn't that be something?" she asked with a smile.
Jason shot her one back, "Yeah it would be. Evil aside, he is a brilliant man, he could do amazing things to the world." Jason said as he thought back to all the articles he had read about the ex-scientist.
Akiko sighed, "Can we just stop thinking of crazy stuff for like five minutes? It makes me a little depressed." she said.
"Hey in essence I am crazy, therefore don't I make you depressed?" the teen asked cheekily as he tuned his head to face hers.
"Shut up." she stated before fully turning her body and using his as a pillow.
Jason laid without a word, he'd leave once she was asleep.
He had a long day ahead of him tomorrow.
…
Spider-Man shot a webline to wall of a building, swing down the street before letting go and shooting another line with his other hand. The teen swung towards the front of a building, his web and momentum taking him up the side of the building before letting go.
The teen went through the air, approaching the ledge, he quickly rebounded off the ledge of the building and jumping over the roof to the middle of the city.
The people of Republic City called it the Four Corners Square because people of all four nations had a part of the plaza to themselves. The Air Nation side had a small temple, a vegetarian restaurant, and many other small shops run by air acolytes.
The other comers showed off the best of their nations. Fire was forging, such and building materials, water was good, and earth was a mini market place.
In the center stood a tall clock tower with one of each nation's seals on the twelve, three, six, and nine. "Well if I was a evil mastermind, that is where I would have my nemesis meet me." The teen said aloud as he attached a webline to the side of it and pulled himself to it.
Spider-Man crawled the wall of the tower towards the top, "This so obviously a trap that it would be a insult not to point this out. But this is too obvious for Ock. What's his real plan here?" the teen asked himself as he neared the tiled rooftop. The teen veered to his left to the clock face. There was a broken out section of the glass that he could fit through.
Entering the tower, he saw the reporter tied to a chair with a thing of cloth covering her mouth, the teen landed next to her, "Don't be scared, I'm gonna get you out of here." Jason said as he untied the knots holding her together.
The woman quickly grappled the cloth and tore it off her face, "Spidy it's a trap!" she exclaimed.
The teen merely shrugged, "Well yeah, duh. That's kinda obvi-" he stopped when his Spider-Sense flared up to his side. The teen tuned just in time to see a giant Fost of sand hit him square in the face and knock him into the metal supports of the clock.
The teen let outa groan as he got out of the wreckage, "Ow, just ow." the teen muttered as Whitney made a run for the door and Sandman emerged from his bonding place. "Hey what are you doing here sandy? Me and Docky where supposed to dance."
Marko only smirked, "Well let's see you walk after the hurt we put on you!" he exclaimed as his body turned to sand and headed for the young hero in a charge. Spider-Man managed to knock himself out of the shock in time to flip back into the air and onto the metal as Sandman crashed, making the entire fixture shake
"Marko, what-what happened to you! Your-" the teen started as the man's torso emerged from the sand with one hand a mace and swung it at the teen.
Spider-Man leapt off the wall as the mace crashed down. Six arms emerged from Sandman's back, reaching out for the teen. The young hero shot a webline to the ceiling and swung around the arms, kicking the arms and, making the hands fall to the ground.
"I gotta say, your pretty handy around the clock tower. Ever think of getting a hunchback?" Spider-Man asked as he flew towards the man and slammed his feet into his back. "You could so work the look." Sandman's body shifted so that his back was now his front, before the teen could escape, Marko encased his legs with sand.
A hand emerged from his chest and slammed the teen out the window, "Well at least I didn't get cut by the glass." the teen said to himself as he shot a webline to the side of the tower.
A green wing slashed through the web, "Miss me little bug?" Vulture asked as he flew towards the young hero and threw his razor sharp feathers at him.
Jason twisted his body so that he dived the feathers, First a superpowered Sandman and now the Vulture? I miss Stilt Man. the teen thought as he tried to attach a web to the side of the building but was sliced by Vulture again. "Oh don't worry beak breath I didn't forget about you."
Spider-Man fired another webline, this time to the old man's foot, riding on the line behind him as he dipped down into the streets below. The line was cut again, this time by a throwing star, the teen fell to the ground and rolled into a crouch.
"Oh let me guess, my favorite crazy hunter Kraven." he guessed as he turned to the man in question as he brandished his shirt swords. "Great, so where's the rest of your little club? Off getting coffee for the rest of you guys?" She asked as Vulture landed on a lamppost beside Kraven.
At the same time, Sandman come down from the clock tower in a cascade of Sand before forming his body once more. Spider-Man's Spider Sense rang out in his skull, he leapt out of the way as a blast of electricity charred the ground.
Spider-Man looked back to see Electro with a smug look on his face, "Four of you-" the teen turned as his sixth sense rang out.
The satomobile with a couple inside should have been hard to miss.
The teen let go of the line and put his hands into the hood of the car before pushing off, making a bet of webbing between two lampposts to cushion the fall. The two exited the car as Spider-Man landed in front of Rhino.
Before the teen could comment Rhino slammed his fist down, making the teen flip back onto his hands as the fist came down, the teen pounced off the ground and onto his fist and ran up his shoulder, spring him in the face with webbing as he did.
The teen leapt off his back only to be sideswiped by a metal arm, mocking him into a bus stop. The teen let out a groan as he sat up from the remains of the bus stop, "Ok...is the class present? I'm ready to take attendance."
Otto lowered himself to the ground as the other supervillain came up behind him, "Spider-Man, allow us to introduce ourselves. We are the Sinister Six, and today is the day you die." Otto said with a triumphant smile.
Rhino cracked his knuckles, "Any last words wall crawler?" he asked menacingly.
Spider-Man gulped, "Can we all just hug and be friends? I like that idea, and I am willing to give hugs." the teen said stupidly.
Rhino charged as Vulture flew into the air and launched razor feathers at the teen. Spider-Man leapt over the horn of the large bruiser as Vulture ran into the teen with feet outstretched, he latched his talons into the teen's flesh as he carried him high into the air.
Spider-Man let out a hoss as Vulture's grip tightened on him. The teen raised his hands and shot globs of webbing into the man's eyes, "Gah!" Vulture exclaimed as he tried to pull the webbing out of his eyes, throwing the young hero into a wall of a building.
"Hey, it's better that I shoot white stuff from my wrists than you dropping white stuff." he called out. The teen's Spider Sense rang in the back of his head just before Sandman hit the teen into the building with a mace for a hand.
The office workers of the floor where startled to say the least.
The people scattered towards the exit as Sandman and Kraven entered the building, "You know I'd stay away from him Kraven, I don't think that you would want sand in that outfit of yours." the young hero joked as the hunter pounced.
The teen ducked as the swords slashed, Sandman came up from behind Kraven with a large hammer for a fist and swung it. Spider-Man flipped backwards as the hammer crashed into the ground. Spider-Man leapt over the man's head and rammed his heels into his head, making him stumble as he tried to grow his face back.
Jason rolled in front of Kraven and swung his fist in a uppercut but the Hunter rolled back and threw his swords at the teen. Spider-Man cartwheeled out of the way, one of the blades just cutting his thigh. "Seriously aren't you scared of accidentally cutting yourself with those! I would be."
Kraven pulled out a handful of throwing stars, "The best hunters show no fear." he said as he threw the small projectiles at the hero. The teen sidestepped and ducked under the sharp stars as they flew over his head.
"Hey! Watch it!" Sandman yelled as he got hit with the stars.
Spider-Man used this opportunity to shoot webs at a desk and swung it into the body of Marko, making his head and arms all into a pile of sand, "Does that even hurt? I'm just asking because I'm trying really hard to-"
The teen stopped when he heard let out what resembled a roar and locked the teen in a grab. "Hey I offered hugs earlier, too late now." the teen said as kneeled and leapt into the air, ramming Kraven's back into the ceiling.
The teen landed back to the ground and jumped back to a window which they both flew through. The teen attached webs to the wall and swung his back into the building, making Kraven let go only to be caught by Vulture.
The teen pulled back on the webs and shot further up the side of the building, "This is bad, too many people around. I gotta, GAHHH!" Spider-Man yelled out as electricity went through his body, making him fall back towards the ground.
He hit the concrete with a thud before slowly getting up, "You know this is so not fair. I'm going up against six of you guys. This is not fair at all." the teen yelled out as Rhino charged at the teen and ramming him through the wall of the building.
The teen let out grunts of pain as he hit wall after wall. He went through the building and back into the streets towards another big building.
With the next wall coming up, Spider-Man gripped the brute's horn and pulled himself around into his back. "Yeeehaaa! It's like a riding a moose lion!" the teen yelled as he made a web across the man's face and pulled it to the side.
"Hey! I can't see! Let me go! Let me go!" Rhino yelled as harried to grab the teen after stopping. The teen leapt off the large man and attached webs to the back of his legs.
"Timber!" he yelled out as he pulled back on the lines, making Rhino fall to the floor with a 'oomph'. Spider-Man leapt into the air and crashed his feet into Rhino's head as he started to raise it. "Come on horn head! That all ya got?" the teen taunted as he swung on a web around the corner of a building.
Rhino's a living wrecking ball. I gotta take him down first. Jason thought as he swung through the city streets, Rhino right on his heels. The teen landed on a lamp post and sprung off, attaching a webline to the lamp and swung towards the Rhino, kicking him in the exposed face.
Rhino swung his fist overhead and knocked the teen into the pavement before jabbing his horn forward, grazing the teen's left ribs. "DEAAHHHHH!" the teen yelled in pain.
Rhino smiled as he stood over the teen, "I'm gonna enjoy squishing you." the man said as he raised his foot above Spider-Man's head.
The teen looked around for some way out, "Hey Rhino, did you hear that?" the teen asked, making the man pause. Spider-Man used this time to shoot a webline to a mailbox and pull it in and swinging it into the man's face, "Mail call!" the teen shouted as Rhino stumbled back.
The teen sprung to his feet and leapt towards Rhino's face, hitting him with both his heels, making the man fall back into the concrete. Spider-Man acted fast, spraying his limbs with webbing so that he couldn't get back up. "Yeah I don't think you can break through steel without momentum. Stick around." the teen said as he examined his wound.
He had a gash going horizontally under his armpit that barely made it to the red on his costume. He was bleeding but it was mostly cosmetic damage, "That is gonna hurt tomorrow." the teen muttered as people started running past him.
The rest of the Sinister Six came from around the building that he led Rhino from, the teen sprayed a web to the side of the building and swung into the air, "I guess you guys should call yourselves the Foolish Five now huh?" the teen asked.
Vulture flew towards the teen as he swung through the air, Spider-Man fired a webline to the wall of the building, swung around the side of it and to the side of a radio antenna tower. Here I am making stupid jokes when I'm getting my butt handed to me on a silver platter. I need a plan. Take them out one by one. the teen thought as Vulture flew around the tower, shooting his feathers at Spider-Man.
The teen leapt from support beam to support beam, using the metal as cover from the razor sharp projectiles. That is if I don't get made into a mincemeat first. he thought as he leapt back from a support and attached two webs on the legs of the tower and shot himself towards the old man.
The teen threw a fist out as he flew towards him, sending Vulture through the air, "Aw what's wrong? Did I scramble your egghead?" the teen asked as he shot a webline to the tower and swung around it.
The teen's Spider Sense flared, he did a full spit in midair, dogging the blast of lightning. "Dude! That was a low move!" he yelled out to Electro as he landed on a chimney. "I mean I don't pull down your pants with my webbing do I?" the teen asked.
"Will you just shut the hell up!" Electro yelled at the teen as he sent a lighting bolt to the young hero. Spider-Man leapt back as the chimney was destroyed, attaching a webline to some of the debris and throwing it at the tattooed villain.
Electro was sent across the street, nearly hitting the side of a building as Doc Ock climbed the side of the one that Spider-Man was on with Kraven holding onto one of his arms. The Hunter drew his collapsible bow while he drew a arrow and pulled back on the string.
The Hunter shot arrow after arrow at the costumed hero, the teen cartwheeled, jumped, and sidestepped out of the way of the deadly objects. Electro flew past Kraven, "Back off wild man he's mine!" he yelled.
"Electro don't get too emotional, he's just getting under your nerves!" Doc Ock chased as the green and yellow suited man shot blasts to the young hero.
Spider-Man shot a web to the tower and pulled back on it, shooting himself towards the top, "Oh Ock, you and I both know that sparky is a very emotional little boy. And he needs our unconditional love." he teased as he grabbed one of the feathers that Vulture flung at him.
I really hope this works. he thought as he reached the top of the antenna, his feet planted on the side of the highest point. He attached a web to the very top and hid the metal behind his back as Electro flew up beside the tower, "At least I'm smart enough not to stand on metal when there's a lighting bolt coming at you!" he yelled as he collected energy in his hands and shot it at the young hero.
Otto's eyes widened under his goggles, "Electro you idiot don't! He's-"
Spider-Man threw the metal feather with the webline on the end towards the bolt before leaping off the tower.
The electricity traveled to the tower, down the side of it, and into the ground conductor hidden underground. Otto had only noticed it a moment too late, Spider-Man made a makeshift lightning rod.
The teen made a net of webbing to catch the man as he fell to the rooftop.
Jason fired a webline to the side of the building and swinging down above the streets. "Down to the Fumbling Four now!" the teen taunted as he landed on a car roof. Ok, maybe I can do this. Jason thought to himself before the car flipped over and sent the roof crashing into the side of the building, "I hate positive thinking."
Spider-Man pushed the car off him, his left knee was exposed with a scrape on it now. He crashed into a hardware store, and the shoppers where more than surprised to see him, "Uhhh...'Sup." he greeted to the shoppers, waving his hand to greet them.
The teen stood just as his Spider Sense rang in the back of his head. He turned to be hit in the heat with a big bat, sending him into shelves. The teen looked up to see Sandman turn one hand into a mallet and the other into a mace.
"Ok don't get me wrong, it's cool you can do that and all, but come on, be more original." he said as he jumped above Sandman, dogging the mace and sending a glob of webbing into the man's eyes.
He landed behind the man and swiped his leg through Marko's, making his lower body give out and give the teen a chance to jab him in the left of his face then fallowed by a strong right hook.
The teen didn't expect a fist to erupt from Sandman's chest and sent him crashing through store shelves. "Ok, I only have myself to blame for that one." he muttered to himself before a child's scream made him spring up.
He looked to see a mother shielding her child as one of the large display of radios came crashing down towards them.
The teen acted quickly, making a net of webbing to hold the boxes of radios in place as he ran forward and scooped up the mother and child and carried them out of the way as the shelves that the webbing connected to collapsed. "Well they say that no news is good news. But that is a little much." the teen said as he put the mother and child down.
He was promptly smacked on the side of his head and through the glass window at the front of the door. "Of course." The teen muttered as a pile of sand firmed in front of him. Wait, he's completely made of sand, I can't get a solid hit on him if he can just faze it through him.
The young hero looked around and found what he was looking for, a fire hydrant. Time to make Sandman into Muckman. the teen thought as he jumped back ontop of the hydrant, "Wow Marko, even with a power up you still hit like a girl. I'm impressed." the teen mocked as Sandman got his mace ready.
The man extended his arm and brought it down ontop of the teen as he jumped, smashing the hydrant's lid. The man's hand was doused with water, when he drew it back he tried to reform it, "What the-why can't I change back!?" he asked as he tried harder.
"Easy, your entire body is made of sand. Not skin, skin just lets water run off it, but sand absorbs it. Like mud." the teen explained as he grabbed the sides of they hydrant, using his super strength to bend Oran's spray the high pressured water onto Marko, sending him back against the wall if the building.
The man spat out water as his skin started to harden and turn muddy. He started to shrink more and more until it looked like his legs disappeared into the ground. Spider-Man closed the cap of the fire hydrant and sprayed the remains of Sandman with webbing, just to be safe.
His Spider Sense just barely warned him when Otto rammed his metal tentacle into the teen's face and knocking him back into the road. "I have lost my patience with you arachnid!" the ex-scientist said angrily as he slammed the hero into the ground repeatedly.
Octavius used to of his arms to grasp the teen's arms before pulling him in close. "Originally we where going to take turns doing things to you before you die. But now I think I'll be a little shellfish." Otto said menacingly as he withdrew the tentacle hold Spider-Man's face, taking his right lens along with it.
"Selfish? That's a understatement." the teen sAid as he angled his wrists, firing globs of webbing into Doc Ock's goggles, making him drop the teen and knock him away into a car with another metal arm.
Kraven ran up towards the teen with knives drawn, "Again with the sharp things. What is it with you?" the teen asked as he blocked Kraven's wrist whiles his fist hit the side of the hunter's face. Kraven slashed his other blade towards the young hero's throat.
He ducked his head back as he threw his leg out into the man's gut. Spider-Man vulted backwards over the wrecked car and shot weblines at Kraven's chest and pulled him forward, slamming the hunter's head to the hood of the car, dazing him.
The teen put the palms of his hands ins the car and swung his legs between them into his chest, spending him crashing into Doc Ock. "What out for pointy things Doc!" the teen warned as his Spider Sense rang.
The teen turned in time to avoid being scooped up by Vulture again. He quickly turned on his heel and turned to see Vulture start to fly back up. The teen fired webbing at him and was carried off the ground as towards the tops of the buildings.
Spider-Man climbed the web as fast as he could, catching up to the old man. Ok maybe it's time we stopped this little ride. the teen thought as fired a webline to the side of a building and attached it to the one he held on to.
He repeated this a action a number of times, wens hitting windows, awnings, rooftops, anything that was attached to the ground. As Ahask tried to turn, he found that he couldn't, "W-What is this!?" he demanded as he felt himself being pulled back down towards the ground.
He turned his head as Spider-Man's Fost connected to the side of it as he passed the teen. Vulture hanged unconscious in the middle of a giant web supported between two buildings.
Jason fell through a hole in the webbing before shooting a strand to one of the buildings and am swinging back down towards Kraven and Doc Ock. "Make that Dumb Duo now. Man your members are dropping like flies aren't they?" the teen asked.
Kraven threw a one of his throwing stars at the teen's web. Spider-Man dropped down to the street and rolled, delivering a uppercut to Kraven. He flew through the air to be caught by Otto who thew him back at the wall crawler. Kraven gripped his blades tightly and slashed them downward at the teen.
The young hero dropped onto his back and kicked Kraven in the chest, knocking him into a lamppost, denting the metal before he was stuck to the metal with webbing and wrapped up in the sticky substance.
"And then there was one. And that one was...crap I got nothing. Is there even another word for one?" the teen asked as he leapt towards Doc Ock.
The ex-scientist sent his tentacles after the teen, Spider-Man kicked two of them away but was knocked back with the other two. Otto walked over on two of his arms as the teen crashed into the ground and slammed his metal extremities into the teen's gut, making him let out yelps of pain.
The man raised both his upper arms, giving the teen enough time to roll out of the way as the metal smashed into the concrete. Spider-Man shot two weblines at the legs supporting Otto, pulling them out from under him and making him fall to the ground hard.
The teen flipped into the air and smiled his feet into the man's chest, he was swiped away by a metal arm a moment later, "Nnnngghhh, oh I get it the Stupid Solo act. That's what I can call you!" the teen said in realization. Spider-Man rolled out of the way as the arms and down once more.
He acted quickly and stuck the arms to the ground. The teen charged forward, "You stupid, simpleminded, arrogant, poor excuse of a arachnid!" Otto yelled as he swiped and launched his arms at the teen.
Spider-Man ducked under a metal arm and ran straight towards the other arm, he flipped forward and put his hands on the metal arm, flung himself forward and drew his fist back. "You are just too nice Otto." he hit the side of his face, "You get a little party together for me." another hit to the man's face, "But I gotta say. Sinister Six is just too bland." he said as he drew his fist back and knocked the man square in his face, cracking his goggles.
Otto was sent back crashing into a newspaper dispenser, his head slouched with a groan coming from him, showing that he lost consciousness as a paper with a picture of Spider-Man fell out of the broken glass and covered his face.
Spider-Man let out a sigh of relief, "And with that, I call it a day...that is until i collect all them." he said with a groan as he went to get all the members of the group.
…
Chief Lin Bei-Fong pulled up on the side of the road in Four Corners Square, the radio was going mad with reports of the massive battle that took place half a hour ago. And the people where in a general state of panic when the first officers had gotten on scene.
Lin walked towards a pair of officers as they set up roadblock signs, "Where's the reporting officer?" she asked the two in a stern tone.
They pointed to the base of the clock tower where a cluster of officers where looking up. Lin let out something that resembled what sounded like a growl as she approached the men and women, "I swear to the ghost of Ozai that you all better be working or I'll personally-" she started as she approached the group of men.
She stopped when they saw what they where all staring at.
On the side of the clock tower was a large web holding not one, but six of the Vault's most wanted from the prison escape months ago. Doc Ock in the center with all his arms pointing out in four directions.
"We're trying to think of a way to get them down ma'm." one of them explained.
Lin sqinted, she saw something else up on the tower, a red and black speck in the top of the building.
Jason let out a sigh, And there goes that extra web fluid that was supposed to be or emergencies. the teen thought as he clicked another cylinder into place. He looked down to the streets below and saw that the police and surrounding crowd was admiring his handiwork.
He leapt off the building and nose dived towards the streets below, shooting a webline to the wall of the tower and swung above the policemen's heads, "Take 'me somewhere without group therapy!" he yelled as he swung past.
That made the crowd of people surrounding the entire scene seem to explode in cheers. People clapped their hands together, shouted words of encouragement at the teen as he swung through the air.
A good deal of police officers joined in as well, "SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN! SPIDER-MAN!" the people below yelled as Jason let go of his webline and fired another building.
Jason smiled under his mask, Well...this is something I could very much get used to. the teen thought as he swung away from the scene.
…
Chapal was glad that Jason called in sick today, he didn't want him interrupting his own experiment. Yesterday he injected the cellular regrowth formula into mouse with a missing tail. Chapal hesitantly stood outside his closed office, he put the small mammal in a glass pen on his desk so he could see the results as soon as he could.
But he feared the worst. What if the formula only worked on bacterial cells? Or perhaps the tail deforms and splits off into two? He could't cut one off if it did it would just grow back.
Chapal took a deep breath as he reached for the door handle and turned it. "Time to make history." he muttered as he pushed the door opened and slowly walked towards his desk.
He looked into the glass case.
The mouse's tail had grown back in full, and was scampering around the glass case happily.
Chapal let out a laugh, "It...it works!" he yelled in complete happiness. As Chapal celebrated, the mouse looked at the man through the glass.
Mr he scientist didn't notice the fangs grown in place of the mouse's flat teeth.
…
Jason had small scratches on his face and body, the deep gash he had on his side was healing already. The teen was increasingly grateful for the healing factor that came with his powers, at this rate his scratches would be healed up in time for his birthday tomorrow.
It was pretty dark when he made his way to Akiko's house, "She is going to kill me. I am sure of it." the teen muttered as he walked along the sidewalk of Akiko's house. He walked up to the door and knocked, waiting to be either embraced by his girlfriend, or to be sucker punched by her.
The door opened, Jason barely had enough time to react before he was nearly tackled down by a red and black streak.
Akiko squeezed the young hero as hard as she could, accidentally squeezing over the cut on his ribs. "Aki...your starting to hurt me. Very badly!" he said in a higher pitch than normal.
The girl pulled away and looked at the teen's scratched up and smiling face.
"You took on...six...SIX!" she said shaking him slightly for emphasis.
Jason couldn't help but laugh at her reaction, "So does this mean you'll stop worrying about me?" the teen asked as the two embraced each other once more.
Akiko let out a short chuckle, "I'll think about it. Now come on inside. I ordered some takeout, I got some to spare." she said in almost a demand as she pulled the teen in by his arm.
The two ate and talked of what occurred during the day. Jason admitted to giving Whitney a call as he made his way here to make sure that she was alright. She merely bragged that she had the story of a lifetime about the fight.
"Everyone is talking about it. I heard about it on the radio earlier and it says it was broadcasting all over the city." Akiko said while she ate her noodles with her legs tucked in on her bed. She wore a black tank top and stripped PJ bottoms with pink rabbit slippers.
Jason let out a snort at the pink footwear but didn't say anything since she kicked him for that last time. "Well you should have been there afterwords. People where clapping, chanting Spidy's name...it was..." he struggled to find the right word.
"Gratifying?" Akiko supplied.
The teen nodded with a smirk, "Since when are you a dictionary?" he asked. Akiko stuck her tongue out in response and when back to eating, "But...I get this feeling like something's different now." the teen said as he laid down at the foot of the bed.
Akiko looked down at the tired teen, he looked like he was about ready to fall asleep right where he is. The girl took a breath, "Hey...do you...want to stay here tonight?" she asked, her cheeks blustering red.
Jason let out a yawn, "Your couch sounds so good right now, I may just sleep in my clothes." the teen muttered as he ran a hand over his face.
Akiko tossed the noodle box in a small bin by her desk set near the window, her cheeks still red, "I meant...in here with me." she said, making the teen sit up fast enough to nearly give himself whiplash.
The teen's face went redder than Akiko's hair, "I-I-I-I-I-I-" he couldn't form words.
The girl leaned over and put a finger up to his lips. "Just...sleep. Nothing else." she explained further, her cheeks burning. She had to hold back a snicker at the look Jason got on his face afterwords.
"Well...are you sure? I can still crash on the couch." he offered.
Akiko rolled her eyes, "Jason. We trust each other. We love each other, sleeping in a bed is what people who love each other do. I thought I helped you with the whole social concepts thing." she teased, making the teen smile.
"Ok. But I only have my suit on under this. And I don't have underwear on under it." he admitted.
"EW! Why?" she asked.
The teen shrugged, "It chafes. And I don't want people seeing me picking my costume out my butt when I'm swinging through the air." he explained, making Akio look at him with a blank expression. "Hey if you had to wear a set of tights all day you'd want it to be comfortable too right?" he asked.
"For one I wouldn't wear tights. I'd wear normal-ish clothes with a mask covering my eyes." Akiko stated.
"And you'd keep those super clothes of yours where on your person? At all times?" he asked, making the girl shrug. "I've thought a lot about it Aki. Tights are not a choice, they come with the job." he said.
The girl rolled her eyes as she kicked her slippers off, "Just get in tight man." she said as she moved to the edge after throwing the covers down. Jason took off his gloves, shoes, and upper costume, "Ouch." Akiko muttered at the sight of Rhino's parting gift.
"Yeah. It feels much better than it looks though." he said as he moved over to the other edge of the bed and got under the covers.
The girl reached over to the lamp on her desk, the only source of light present in the room at that point. "So...goodnight." safe said.
Jason swallowed, "Yeah. Goodnight."
…
The two tried to sleep in silence after Akiko shut the lights off, but the feeling of another presence in the bed was throwing them off. Jason didn't move at all for fear of crossing some line that Akiko had put up without her own knowing.
She felt almost the same, though it was because she didn't want Jason to feel even more uncomfortable.
Sleep was calling Jason but he couldn't answer it, he was exhausted from his fight today. And he would no doubt be sore tomorrow, and he had to make it look good for school and his family tomorrow on his birthday of all days.
"Hey...you still awake?" Akiko asked through the darkness.
Jason felt himself stiffen, "Yeah...I am." he said with a small gulp. The two turned over and faced each other, the sides of both their faces almost buried in the pillow.
Akiko's hair feel over her eyes, the rest sprawled over the sheets, unleashed from their confident from the hair band, "Your ok...with this?" she questioned softly.
The teen nodded slowly, "Yeah...are you?" he questioned back.
"Yeah." she answered.
The two laid in silence, trying not to stare into each other's eyes, "Would you...be ok...if we where closer?" Jason asked nervously, thankful the darkness covered the blush forming on his cheeks.
He couldn't see Akiko's as well, "I think...I would." she said as she slowly moved to the center of the bed. "You?"
The teen gulped before speaking, "Maybe...maybe I would." he said before moving his body closer to hers. "We should get comfortable?" Jason guessed, not knowing how this exactly worked.
Akiko swallowed, "Yea. We should." she said, adjusting her body so that Jason's chest acted like a pillow.
The young hero felt himself smile with a new burst of confidence, wrapping a arm around the girl's waist, he laid his head back onto the bed. Akiko moved her left leg so that it was over his, using the teen like one big pillow really.
Jason closed his eyes as Akiko's warmth covered him, not enough to make him uncomfortable, but just enough to invite sleep in.
The two teens slept with small smiles.
…
Jason walked through the halls of his school with his arm around Aki's waist, he had to wake up early to swing by home and get some new clothes, he joined Akiko back at home as she begun to wake up.
To say the girl was dumbstruck when she found the teen making breakfast for her would be a understatement.
"You seriously make the best eggs I've had. I want you to cook more." Akiko said as they continued on their way towards the outside tables for free period.
"For every meal?" the teen questioned as they passed a group of students.
"Did you hear? Spidy took on six supervillans! My himself!" one of them said, making the couple slow down.
"I saw him when he was fighting Rhino, the guy got shanked and still kept fighting! Talk about badass."
Jason couldn't help but let his pride swell up at that, he was a badass now. That's something to be celebrated.
Akiko pulled the teen along while the group of students went into heater detail of what transpired. "Don't let that go to your head. Hubris is kinda a bitch." Akiko warned.
Jason rolled his eyes, "Just wait, everyone will start hating Spidy next week when things go back to normal." he said in a positive tone, making the girl lightly elbow him.
The two opened the door to the small courtyard, virtually empty save for a few others with a free period. "Real lively today isn't it?" Akiko asked as the two walked towards a lunch table on the gravel.
"Yep. I think we tripled membership." he added as they both sat down, sitting close to each other as they did. Akiko laid her head on the teen's shoulder with a sigh of content. "I love you." the teen said as he wrapped a arm around her shoulder.
Akiko pecked the teen's cheek, "I love you too. Happy birthday Tiger." she whispered into the teen's ear.
Jason raised a eye, "Tiger?" he questioned.
Akiko smiled, "Well you said you wanted a new nickname. Why? Don't like it?" she asked with a teasing smile.
Jason cupped the girl's cheek, "No. I love it." he said before capturing her lips in his.
'Jason O-rou, could you please report to the principal's office? Jason O-rou to the principle's office.' the loudspeaker buzzed out.
Akiko laughed as Jason's head went to his hands. The girl patted his shoulder, "Go. I'll be waiting for you to get back." she said with a supportive smile.
Jason nodded as he made his way back into the building and made a b-line for the principle's office. Please don't let Ms. Dan-ji tear me a new one for being late.
Jason walked towards the office and let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He entered the room to see Ms. Dan-ji sitting behind her desk with a stern look behind her glasses. "Jason, please, sit." she said, gesturing to the chair in front of the desk.
Jason gulped before sitting down, "Don't worry Jason, I just have a few questions I want to ask you. That's all." the woman said as Jason sat in the chair, trying to put the teen at ease. "Now a few of the students where in Four Corners Square yesterday when that...affair took place. I heard that you where there as well." she said.
I was there, but not as Jason O-rou. So who would say that? Probably Xang since I write his stories for the Marvel. the teen guessed, "Yeah, it was pretty crazy. I got out of there before things got too hairy though." Jason answered.
Dan-ji nodded, "I can imagine. Must have been hard seeing all those dangerous men in the same place all at once." she commented.
You got no idea lady. Jason thought to himself, "It was scary, I won't lie." the teen admitted.
Ms. Dan-ji smiled, "So do they know your Spider-Man?"
Jason could swear his heart stopped beating, "W-What? Me? Spider-Man?" he asked hysterically, panic clearly present in his voice.
"Damnit Dan-ji I told you to be discreet."
Jason looked around for the source of the voice, "W-Whose there!? Well actually am I the only one who heard that?" the teen asked, realizing that if he misheard he didn't want to look psyco.
"Calm down hotshot." the voice said again, this time coming from directly in front of him between him and the principle's desk.
Slowly, something, someone, fizzled like mirage in front of the teen.
The man was dark skinned with no hair on his head, save for the goatee that surrounded his mouth. His right eye was covered by a eyepatch, his attire was comprised a blue jumpsuit with a white star in the center chest with lines that went around his shoulder and to points that pointed down his elbows.
He wore fingerless gloves and had straps that strapped onto his waist and hips that held something on the side of his thigh.
"My name is Nick Fury, director of S.H.E.I.L.D. And we have a lot to talk about." he said to the teen who was trying his hardest not to let his jaw drop from the presence of the man.
S.H.E.I.L.D. stood for Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. It was set up by the Order of The White Louts after the hundred year war. As a safeguard against any nation that had the possibility of becoming a rouge state like the Fire Nation once had.
Jason gulped. "Ok. I'm game."
AN: Yep. I brought S.H.E. into this big mess of mine. And let the record show that originally I wanted to have the ORIGINAL Nick Fury, not the one based on Pulp Fiction star Samuel L. Jackson.
S.H.E.I.L.D is...well like I wrote above, it is essentially the White Louts of Avatar. Marvel wouldn't be Marvel without it.
And yes I based the final scene off of Ultimate Spider-Man, I liked that because it showed that Spider-Man is connected to the entire Marvel Universe. No matter how big or small.
Now I'm positive that most if not all of you have heard of the Time Skip.
I will try to cover the time between seasons. There is a lot of Spider-Man lore that I can use, who knows, maybe I'll do my own little Goblin Nation at one point.
So this may have been a rash decision I like it.
As for the Sinister Six. I took a little inspiration from ye old texts of Spider-Man. Though he originally took on the six one at a time, henceforth they all battled the wall crawler at once.
And I've been having trouble uploading stories of late so bare with me for any misspellings. I've run this whole Fanfiction thing from my phone since I've joined and it's only recently been acting up. So theres no Italics or Bolding an I not gonna lie. Its rreally starting to get on my nerves.
So I hope you liked what I added and I also hope to see some reviews.
Until later guys.
:)
