"Hey Denki. Denki. Denki. Denki!"
"Huh?! Wha-?" Denki snapped out of his daydream and swung his head around. Jirou looked at him with an unimpressed look.
"You've been daydreaming more than usual ya moron. Class ended five minutes ago."
"Really? Oh sh*t." Denki groaned as he got up. He and Jirou walked out of the classroom, where Hitoshi waited for them.
"So there's a new movie in town. Supposedly it has a soundtrack made by the legend themselves." Jirou said.
"Too Much Rebellion?" Hitoshi guessed.
"Yeah. Shall we check it out tomorrow? We have the day off from school then." Jirou suggested. Hitoshi and Denki exchanged glances.
"Sorry, but we have our own little plans." Denki apologized to his friend. Jirou frowned.
"What are you two up to?"
"Nothinnnnng." Denki said cheekily. He yelped as Jirou took her earphone jack and slammed it into his ribs.
"Whatever. Let me know when you guys need me to get you out of trouble. Again." Jirou said as she walked away.
"We don't get that much into trouble." Hitoshi called after her.
"Did you forget the chocolate incident?" Jirou shot back as she turned the corner.
"I thought we agreed to never talk about that again." Hitoshi muttered as he and Denki also made their way out.
"Come on, let's hurry up." Denki said as he sped up.
"Slow down Denki, you're a lot faster now." Hitoshi said as he jogged after him.
"We got everything, right?" Denki checked with Hitoshi.
"I got everything. You practiced your speech and crappy one-liners." Hitoshi snarked.
"Hey, I made the design!"
"And I redesigned it."
"Brag all you want, but it still looks cheap as all heck."
"That's because we don't have a lot of money."
"That's not my fault."
"Yes it is, you insist on getting anime."
"You don't get to talk with your video games."
"... Touche."
"Anyways, let's catch up to Jirou. Just because we can't hang out tomorrow doesn't mean we can't hang out today." Denki said. He and Hitoshi hurried to catch up to their friend.
-Line Break-
"Okay, there's food in the fridge, it should be enough to last the next week. Make sure you do your homework, and clean your room." Hisako said as she closed her suitcase.
"Yes ma'am." The two teens in her room next to her nodded obediently. Hisako gave them a cautious glance.
"I'll be back soon. Take care you two." she said as she placed her hands on their heads before carrying her suitcase out.
"Bye…" the two chorused as she walked out. They waited until the door closed and clicked before immediately going into their room. Denki was all grins as he pulled open the closet door and pulled out several pieces of clothing.
"Four days. This was four days coming! And now, it's finally time!" the blond cheered.
"Alright, let's get started." Hitoshi said as he looked over the home-made costume.
The blonde teen of the two was quick to put the makeshift costume on, and soon stood proudly in the bedroom. It was a simple pure white hoodie and sweatpants for the most part. Hitoshi had bought them from a nearby thrift store and spray painted a black spider on the chest of the hoodie. He also took a yellow mask and used his mother's sewing machine to make a spider-themed pattern. And for some reason, Denki insisted on buying yellow boots and gloves after they discovered that he can wall-crawl even when his limbs are covered.
"How do I look?" Denki grinned as he struck a pose.
"Shut up and let's go. You insisted on doing this during the day, so we better go before the day is over." Hitoshi said as he grabbed a bag and put it on. Denki sweatdropped at the dismissal before what Hitoshi said clicked in his head.
"What? Oh come on, it's morning! There's plenty of time!"
"Don't forget that we have to actually find a crime. These things probably won't happen right in front of us." Hitoshi said.
"Oh yeah, right." Denki nodded.
"Let's go. And catch." Hitoshi said as he tossed something to Denki. The blonde caught it easily and looked at it. It was an earpiece, matching the one Hitoshi was fitting into his ear. "You better not break this. I can't afford the next installment of CoD because of this."
"Relax, when I'm rich and famous you can get all the CoD games." Denki said as he fitted the earpiece in his ear.
"Let's focus on the now instead of the then." Hitoshi said as he walked to the door.
"Oh no." Denki said as he picked Hitoshi up. The purplehead paused and glanced over his shoulder at Denki.
"...Denki, what are you doing?"
"Relax Toshi. I'm going to be a superhero! And me and my sidekick aren't going to live the boring life any more!" Denki grinned as he threw Hitoshi over his shoulder.
"I'm not your sidekIIIIIIIII-!" Hitoshi screamed as Denki hurled himself out the window.
-Line Break-
Denki whooped as he leapt through the air, Hitoshi slung over his shoulder. He landed on the side of a building, using his Wall-Crawling to leap from building to building before landing on the roof of one. Hitoshi came down and retched.
"If you… do that again… I am going to murder you." He threatened as he sat down, trying to calm his beating heart down. He looked around after deciding that he wasn't going to die from shock.
"Hey look. There's some kids trying to get a cat down from a tree. Why don't we help them out?" he suggested.
"Seriously dude? Helping cats out of a tree isn't flashy enough." Denki vetoed the idea. Hitoshi rolled his eyes.
"Not everything you do has to be flashy."
"Superheroes are super flashy."
"Not all of them."
"Real life ones are."
"Not intentionally."
"Sure."
"Dammit Denki, there are multiple people who need help. Just help at least one."
"Come on Toshi. We both know that the best debuts are flashy as all hell." Denki stood up and stretched, his back making a couple of popping sounds as he did so. Hitoshi put down his binoculars and gave Denki a disapproving look.
"Denki, are you sure you're trying to be a superhero?"
"Yeah, I am."
"And yet, you're not doing anything."
"Come on, it's just a cat in a tree. The reason why we're called superheroes is because we're cooler than others. It's what sets us apart from regular policemen or firemen." Denki said with a wave of his hand. Hitoshi turned and gave him another look.
"You're, despicable."
"That's a bit harsh."
"Accuracy over friendly."
"Ass."
"See yah." Hitoshi said as he got up and began walking away.
"Where ya going?"
"Home. Literally nothing is happening."
"Ah come on! What if something happens?"
"Things happened. You just don't care."
"Well-" Denki's attempt at a rebuttal was quickly cut off when a police siren blared from the streets below. Denki and Hitoshi looked at the police cruisers shooting down the streets before looking at each other.
"...Fine, let's go." Hitoshi sighed. Denki grinned before slinging his friend over his shoulder and leaping to the next roof building.
-Line Break-
"Attention! This is the police! We have the building surrounded. Exit the bank with your hands in the air and surrender quietly!" the blue clad officer said through a megaphone.
"How about no! We have hostages!"
"Release the hostages!"
"Fulfill our demands. Then we'll talk." the criminal called back. Inside, a group of criminals in the bank held a group of employees and civilians hostage. Most were laying down with hands on their heads. One employee was quickly filling a bag with ten thousand yen bills.
"You know, more people oughta do this. Hold people hostage for money in the bank and rob the bank at the same time." one of the criminals said.
"I still don't think this is a good idea." one of the other criminals said as he looked around nervously.
"Ah, come on man. We got them right where we want them."
"But what if Shazam finds us?"
"He's not that fast. And he's not here!"
"I am!" a new voice said. The group of criminals quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Who was that?! Where is he?!" one of the criminals grunted as they turned around.
"Right here!" The masked Denki dropped from the ceiling, landing on top of one of the robbers, smashing them against the ground. He rolled towards another one and hopped to his feet.
"Yo!" Denki grinned under his mask. The robber jumped back.
"Who the f*ck are you?!"
"Me? I am!" Denki flipped in the air and landed in a three-point pose. "The Human Spider!"
"...Really?" Hitoshi groaned over the earpiece.
"Sorry, but you need a bank account to make a withdrawal. I'm gonna need to see some ID!" Denki said as he straightened and took a fighting pose.
"Really?!"
"Look kid, if you don't want to get shot, I suggest you sit down." one of the robbers growled.
"Oh come on, like you didn't see me literally floor one of your goons!" Denki protested as he gestured to the unconscious goon behind him, twitching and groaning.
"Yeah, you're right. We'll just shoot you!" the robber decided as he pointed his gun.
"Oh, oh no."
"Dodge you idiot!" Hitoshi barked over the radio. Denki jumped through the air, barely dodging bullets as the robbers opened fire. The other hostages screamed in fear as the bullets shot the walls, causing plaster to rain down.
"Remember, there's a bunch of people in there with you! So be careful!" Hitoshi instructed.
"Right, right!" Denki yelped as he slid across the ground, trying to keep an eye on where the hostages were located. He scooted behind a pillar to hide from more bullets. Two robbers stop shooting and ran forwards to get around the pillar.
"Oh man, what do I do?"
"What do you think?! You're fast enough to dodge their bullets, fight back!" Hitoshi hissed over the earpiece.
"Oh, right. Okay, time to release the-" a sharp buzz filled his head, and his eyes widened. He flipped up, landing and sticking to the ceiling and near the top of the pillar to dodge the bullets.
"What the-?!" one of the robbers gasped in surprise.
'What was that? How did I- Oh crap!' Denki dropped from the ceiling to dodge more bullets.
"It's just a wannabe superhero! Maybe a mutant, but we can still just kill him!" another robber said as they fired more bullets. Denki yelped as he continued to flip around until he dove under a robber.
"Time to unleash the awesome!" Denki declared. He flipped to his feet and flipped through the air to dodge more shots. He landed behind one of the robbers, who swung their rifle around to try to smack him. Denki's hand shot up and caught the swing before swinging the robber around, throwing them across the room. They slammed against the wall and fell down, unconscious. Denki looked at the rifle in his hand.
"Oh sweet, I got a gun."
"Don't use the gun idiot!" Hitoshi yelled.
"Fine." Denki said as he bent the gun, causing it to break. Another robber tried to shoot him, causing the buzzing to go off again.
'Oh crap, what do I do?' Denki thought. Bullets shot towards him, and he tried to duck down. He yelped as a few bullets racked across his shoulder-blades.
"Dude! You're ruining my suit!" Denki yelled as he charged towards the robber and grabbed them. He raised them up and slammed them down, leaving a crack on the floor. The robber groaned in pain. Denki whirled around and did a backwards somersault, landing behind another robber. He punched the robber in the back, sending him flying forwards. They slammed into the wall and flopped on the ground.
"Denki, how many left?"
"Uh, three?"
"Then be quick, the police are getting their courage and more are coming. You're still a vigilante, they're not going to let you off the hook unless you get some good rep first."
"Right, right." Denki said as he charged at one of the remaining robbers, grabbed them around the waist, and tackled them into the wall. He winced at the sound of a crack and the robber's wheeze.
"Oh, sorry about that." Denki apologized to the wheezing robber. He looked behind him and charged towards another robber. They fired a pistol at him, but Denki managed to dive under the bullets and countered with a powerful uppercut, cracking the robber's jaw. He turned to the last one, who immediately tossed their gun away.
"Smart choice." Denki sniggered. He walked up to them and clapped their ears, knocking them out.
"All done? Good. Leave. Now." Hitoshi said. Denki rolled his eyes behind his goggles and jumped onto the ceiling, punching open a vent and crawling through it. Inside, he grinned to himself as he made his way out.
'And just like that, I'm already on my way to be an awesome hero!' he thought as he made his way out of the bank's ventilation.
"Nice job Denki. Let's hurry out of here." Hitoshi said over the earpiece. Denki grinned under his mask as he spotted a news crew making their way to the bank as well.
"Time to head home!" Denki said as he crawled up the side of the building and leapt onto the other.
"Home? Don't you want to keep going? Find some more people? Maybe help out the little guys?"
"Come on, the news crew is here! I gotta check out how I look. Plus I think I got shot."
"If the new crew just got here then you won't be able to check… YOU GOT SHOT?!"
-Line Break-
"Yeah, it's probably better that we came home. These aren't anything serious, but you should be more careful." Hitoshi scolded. The two were sitting on the couch, with Denki sitting with his back to Hitoshi and shirt off, showing off the shallow marks on his back. Hitoshi guessed that these were more like burn marks and put some burn ointment on his friend's back.
"Yeah, yeah. Maybe I should practice with my head buzz." Denki suggested. Hitoshi gave him a blank look.
"Head buzz?"
"Oh yeah, my head gave off a weird buzz whenever someone tried to shoot me and I couldn't see it." Denki explained.
"What? Another power? Did you have that power before?"
"Uh, I don't think so. Wait, I think there was one time." Denki lit up, holding up a finger.
"Yeah?"
"Day one of superpowers. I dodge a punch from behind." Denki said.
"Hm. So this superpower is some sort of, super sense? No wait, Spider-Sense." Hitoshi said as he wrote it down in a nearby notebook, making a mental note to add it to his list of superpowers.
"A Spider-Sense? Yeah, that sounds badass! Speaking of badass." Denki grinned as he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.
"Stop trying to toot your horn." Hitoshi said as he turned his head to the TV as well. The news channel came up soon, and to Denki's delight, he saw that it was about him.
"In other news, a bank was attacked this afternoon. A group of robbers had taken the group inside hostage and were trying to steal the money inside. However, their attempts were halted by a new vigilante. While the hostages inside couldn't hear him all too clearly through his mask, they did hear him introduce himself as Spider-Man." Denki's grin slipped off when he heard what the news lady said.
"Spider-Man?! I said Human Spider! How did they even get that messed up?!" Denki complained.
"Shut up. It's a better name anyways." Hitoshi said as he slapped a pillow against Denki's face.
"Betrayal!" Denki complained.
"Shut up. They're still talking."
"We have approached the Chief of Police for a statement on this new vigilante." the news lady said. The TV changed to show a reporter talking to a plain faced man in a trenchcoat.
"Chief Tsukauchi, Reporter Taneo Tokuda, Osaka Gossiping. Regarding the news about this new vigilante, how do you feel about knowing that there's a new super in town?"
"As a human, I must say that I'm happy that we have our very own Superhero. Shazam helps out every now and then, but Kyoto and Osaka aren't just on two sides of a street." Tsukauchi said. Denki grinned smugly at Hitoshi, who rolled his eyes.
"But as Chief of Police, I'm afraid to say that under normal circumstances, we'd be hunting this vigilante down." Chief Tsukauchi's unexpected words put a face of surprise on Denki and Hitoshi as they turned back to the TV.
"Really? And why is that?"
"It's unfortunate, but necessary. Keep in mind, these robbers had guns. We were lucky they panicked and focused entirely on this Spider-Man, despite the fact that they could've turned their guns on someone who couldn't pull a Matrix. Even so, we saw that Spider-Man can't dodge all of the bullets. It would only take one wrong move, one accidental slip, and Spider-Man would've been killed. This is very dangerous." Chief Tsukauchi said sternly.
"Oh come on! You guys weren't doing anything!" Denki said angrily at the TV. Hitoshi was silent, thinking over the words of the chief.
"That's a good point, Chief. But Spider-Man did help out."
"Indeed he did. And in doing so, he broke multiple robbers' bones in many places. A few have been hospitalized, as their ribs and collarbones were shattered." the Chief explained. Denki and Hitoshi winced.
"Okay, we gotta learn how to control your strength." Hitoshi said.
"What's more, Spider-Man's actions resulted in not just broken bones, but broken walls and floors. The property damage was thankfully not too big this time, but no guarantee next time." the Chief continued.
"Is this really that big of a deal? They were holding people hostage after all." the reporter asked.
"That's true, but keep in mind, the job of the police is to try to prevent death. While there might be some cases where we use excessive force, standard protocol only allows for that at the confirmation that it is the best for many. And while some might say that this is such a case, we try to prevent people from fighting criminals for a reason. And Spider-Man clearly struck first. Legally, he's liable to be sued. And the law says that we have to hunt him down."
"And earlier, you said that under normal circumstances?"
"We see that regular citizens in this case weren't harmed, and that our officers were unable to protect them. As Spider-Man was able to defuse the situation, our higher ups think it best to give a pass to Spider-Man this time. But next time, we won't be able to. If Spider-Man continues his work of being a vigilante and if he continues these actions, for his protection and the protection of the citizens, we will be taking him in. It's unfortunate, but necessary. That is all." Chief Tsukauchi said before walking away.
"Well, looks like that's all we'll be getting. The police appear to be viewing this Spider-Man to be standing on the gray line of the law. Back to you Amber." Tokuda said.
"Thank you Tokuda. We have some answers to some questions. But we do have some questions remaining. Who is this vigilante? And how will things regarding him play out in the future? More at 7." the News Lady said. Denki turned the TV off and tossed the remote away.
"Man, this is bullsh*t." he grumbled.
There we have it. Imma be honest, I would've liked to have a better fight scene, but I don't really think there was more to do that wouldn't be borderline impossible for the characters involved. If Spider-Man were to get into a Dragon Ball-style fight with common criminals, they would die so hard the Dragon Balls would need to resurrect them ten times over in a row. So I think this is the best balance I can do. Some of my fics seem to rely more on action over story, so I'm trying to find a good balance. And I think this will be that story. As per the usual, leave a review! Azure out!
