SSB Notes
A DINNER SOMEWHERE IN NEW ENGLAND
Adrian where sitting in the white van with to go boxes opened and on there dashboard. Both of them where eating dinner food, they had ordered to go. Adrian was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt over his spider suit while Fury still wore is trucker disguise "Don't you think it's a little risky for us to be so close to New York?" Adrian asked him "As risky as you might think it is, Stark doesn't know the spy game like I do, but he is smart." Fury said as Adrian looked back at the spider like wolf in the back munching on some hamburgers.
"Thought of a name yet?" He asked Adrian looking at the wolf "I could just call him wolf?" Adrian said "Really, you have a half wolf half spider and you choose that." Fury
"We've been here for two weeks, driving place to place isn't it time we get back to Caps mission?" Adrian asked him "What mission?" Fury asked him "Repeal the SHRA show the public we can be heroes without badges and find the secret prison?"
Fury glared down at him "How do you feel about summer camp?"
STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT
Stamford, Connecticut. is a city in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. It the third largest city in the state and the seventh largest city in New England. Approximately 30 miles from Manhattan, Stamford is in the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk Metro area which is a part of the Greater New York metropolitan area. Although a small town, Stamford was not immune to the world of super-heroes. The town was once briefly the home of Mister Fantastic and his wife the Invisible Woman during a brief time they spent away from the Fantastic Four to spend time with their son, Franklin. The town was also visited by a small alien named Gromitz who sought out scrap metal, and secretly visited the Richards home. The Punisher's war on crime briefly touched the town of Stamford, when the Punisher traveled there to kill a man who biologically engineered coca seeds to produce a more versatile crops of cocaine. Stamford was also where former criminals Piranah Jones and Cockroach Hamilton tried to start a new life, drawing in the Punisher and the Terror after them.
Fury dropped me half a mile from what he called ground zero.
Adrian was wearing a dark grey short sleeved button up over an orange shirt and brown pants with white shoes. He had a black baseball hat over his head and what appeared to be a matching longsleeved underarmor shirt, when in reality it was his spider suit. He was walking through Stamford late at night through the cool brisk evening. No one was outside as he walked around a corner past a billboard that showed Iron Man, it read 'Register'
It felt... strange to be here, knowing this is where Robbie and the others died. Where it all changed.
He walked across the street into large park, it was more of a garden than a park. Their were multiple trees and flower beds. He made it to a large fountain, the water was still, but the middle had the statue of an angel holding kids. In front of it was a plaque "To remember those we lost in a tragedy that should have never happened." He read aloud looking at it. Around the rim of it was marble and carved into were named. Hundreds of them.
Adrian walked around reading the names, off one by one, he walked around the whole fountain reading six hundred names.
Six hundred names, and none of them are of the New Warriors, hell even the villains aren't here, they may have been evil. But they were still people.
Later, Adrian was walking into an alley, he arrived at a dumpster where he pressed the left side of it and a small button appeared. He pressed it and the dumpster moved to the side to reveal a set of stairs that led down to a metal door.
Fury is letting me use one of his safehouses, one of about twenty Shield doesn't know about, and that not even Captain America knew about.
He walked into then safe house was nearly identical to the one Captain America had used in the Civil War. Minus being covered in dust. He walked to the nearest door and when he pressed a button all the lights flicked on. Adrian walked into an empty meeting room looking around. All the furniture and machines were covered by packing cloth. Making his way into another hallway he headed to a room that read living quarters.
I still can't believe Captain America is gone, I mean we learned about him in school, and when I finally met him personally it was so different.
NEW YORK CITY
METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
ONE YEAR AGO
"This is so boring." Jack Powers said next to Adrian and Franklin, the three boys were with their class walking into the museum. They all had passes on their necks that read Field Trip. "You know most kids love to get out of class." Franklin said as they followed their group. "Yeah well we aren't most kids." Jack said back to him. As the class walked around the ancient antiquities Adrian noticed a man wearing a brown leather jacket, button up grey shirt and jeans. He was tall and blonde haired but something about his jaw was familiar.
"I don't know, I've swung over this place twenty times and never been inside." Adrian said walking with them looking at all the statues, they were in the Greek and Roman section "That one doesn't even look like Hercules." Jack said as they looked at a statue with a man who had a lions skin on his head and no arms.
Adrian shrugged "Yeah." Adrian said agreeing as they both tilted their heads looking at it "Everyone please gather around." Their guide said getting their attention.
"This is a special piece, recently donated to the museum." The class gathered around a jeweler it was in a glass box and the jewelry was a necklace with an amulet of some kind that had a bright red jewel in it. The amulet had dozens of carvings in it around the jewel. "This amulet is known as the Heart of Fafnir, legend says that when the hero Siegfried slew the dragon Fafnir he bathed in his blood to give him invulnerability but Siegfried saved the last bit of the Dragons blood, in the jewel lays its final drops whoever baths in it would have the same power as Siegfried, some even say it could bring back those who died." The curator said as they looked at the amulet "Hmmm invulnerability?" Jack said smiling scratching his chin "Dude?" Adrian said elbowing him.
Jack grabbed his side "Ow, that hurt." Jack said as Adrian rolled his eyes "Alright, let's move onto the next exhibit." The teacher said clapping her hands to get their attention. That's when Adrian noticed three men all wearing dark black trench coats and fedoras.
Oh boy, spider sense
When they walked around the corner Adrian grabbed Jack and Franklin "Guys I need you to cover for me."
"What is it?" Franklin asked, "I spotted three guys and my Spider Sense flared up." Adrian replied Jack turned his head toward him like a whip "Oh no, your about to go do some superhero stuff without me." Jack whispered to him Adrian shrugged "Look, if your family was here I'd totally let you go, I'll owe you."
Suddenly a loud alarm erupted from behind them "Fine, but you double owe me." Jack said letting Adrian run off.
Back in the room with the amulet the glass case around it had been shattered and a black gloved hand reached in and took the amulet out. The three men in trench coats had it two of them had undone their coats wearing Wehrmachtuniforms with black pants and beige brown shirts with ties tucked in. They were both holding MP 40s while the one holding the amulets uniform was dark black. He had a Luger pistol and was shooting it off "Run, run you capitalist swine, tell your loved ones that the Riechs return came from this day!" He yelled.
"All will be purged by-mmff!" He was silenced by webs splattering on his face "Oh put a sock in it mien... dang what's the German word for doofus?" Adrian dressed as Spider-Boy was sticking to the ceiling arm and web shooter extended.
Nazis huh, well this should be fun.
Both the gunners raised their machine guns and opened fire "Ok I get the Nazi getup, it's a classic but those guns are like ancient?" He said as he swung out of the way before flying off the web and shooting their guns with web bombs engulfing them in wens, making it impossible to shoot.
He landed in front of them as the other two struggled in the webs, their leader aimed his pistol at him "Dummkopf!" and Spider-Boy covered the Nazis hand in webs blocking his gun "Bless you."
That was easy, can't believe these guys were ever considered a threat?
The bad guys leader tore off the webs on his face "Impudent child, you will be crushed by the power of the Thousand Year Reich!" He yelled as Spider-Boy ripped the Heart out of the Nazis hand "Yeah yeah, worked out so well last time."
The Nazi smiled snickering "What is the American saying, try try again- STRENNUS!" He yelled suddenly the other two Nazis froze and both their eyes turned red. Their skin and clothing was torn away as unseen metal shot out of their bodies. They were black metal skeleton clunky looking ones at that.. Their bodies extended and they grew taller as they had red swastikas on their chests tearing away the webbing.
Ooooooh Nazi terminators... double crap.
The robots charged at Spider-Boy who dodged their blows fast, but they were faster one of them punched him right in the gut as the other grabbed him and through him into the sand blonde man who Adrian had noticed before.
"I got you son." The man said catching Spider-Boy "What are you doing." Spider-Boy sand shoving him off as he got up "Its dangerous you need to get out of here." The boy said as his Spider-Sense burned. He looked back at the robots who freed their leader from his webs. One of them walked forward holding up both arms that turned into mini guns "Move!" Spider-Boy yelled as he and the man dove behind the cover a small wall.
The Nazi robot started to open fire "Stay here." Spider-Boy said to the civilian "I got a job to do."
Before he could run out to draw their fire the man grabbed the boy "Let go of me."
Whoa this guys strong?!
"Funny you should say that, cause fighting Nazis was my first job." The man said smiling as Adrian saw him run around the wall toward the Nazi robots. Spider-Boy spun a web onto the nearest wall swinging out in awe. The civilian ran right through the gullets till one of the robots chests opened up to show a rocket "Get down!" Spider-Boy yelled as the robot fired the rocket right at the man creating an explosion. But emerging out of it in a furious force of red white and blue was a man with a shield "Captain America!" The Nazi captain cried seeing the first avenger. Captain America tore right through the robots bashing one with his shield and the other with the back of his boot leg. The two robots retaliated but Captain America was to fast, blocking their blows with his shield kicking and punching at their metal bodies.
It was like watching a force of nature, a hurricane of nothing but pure awesome, and I'll never see it again.
THE NEXT DAY
CAMP HAMMOND
A series of trucks were driving toward a large military base. It had high concrete walls around the base. It had an air fielded with a tower. A set of building fitted with the latest tech and what appeared to be barracks. As the trucks rolled into the fortress. Nun of the trucks noticed the eleven year old black suited Spider-Boy under one of them.
Fury told me before the opening of the Camp, the superhuman training facility was located at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. Camp Hammond is located on the site of the Stamford tragedy that started the Civil War, the name Hammond named after James Hammond, the original Human Torch. Hence the statue.
He peeked out of the bottom of the truck to see the a group of people all wearing different colored shirts and green camo pants with combat boots. Yelling at them was a black man with almost as much muscle as the hulk and a metal arm nearly the size of a bear.
Also it's considered the Initiative HQ and serves the dual function of being the Initiative team for Connecticut.
The trucks turned around a the corner of a large building before going inside to start to unload. As they did Spider-Boy slid out and shot a web to the nearest vent swinging inside.
The camp is primarily used to train drafted super powered young people in the United States who have to be registered with the federal government. However, Fury says a lot of heroes I know come here.. Other than that I don't need to worry about some super powered teens.
He started to crawl through the vents before he can to one that peeked outside to see the whole complex.
Even so these recruits are put through Avengers basic training, which includes combat, first aid, and superhuman ethics which is ironic. If passed the recruits' registration card will be upgraded to a full heroes license with some being offered places in one of the fifty nationwide teams, like I need a card for that.
He slid down vent and started to crawl under the floors of the complex through their circulation system.
If I keep going this way I should find the data storage room, that will have to give me the location of Starks super prison.
He crawled into a lower vent and came to an opening peeking out of it he held up his gloved hand and took out his own spider bot.
Just like before, in and out.
The spider bot crawled out of the vent to the nearest camera and started to recycle feed to the security mainframe.
The boy dropped out into the metal hallways and started to run.
No reason I can't get out of here any sooner than I want to.
He eventually came to the data storage room and took out the key card fury gave him. Swiping it the door slid open. Dozens of data storage units where in the room all stacked on one another. "Alright let's get to work." He said to himself as he ran inside.
In another part of the base two heroes walked through the lower levels, "Gauntlet still doing the new Warriors thing?" The first one said it was a man, he was wearing a long blue cape and blue suit with white on the center of his core, he had a yellow star in the middle of his chest and wore a cowl with an open face and top, brown hair was on the top of his head and next to him was a tall muscular woman wearing a dark blue almost black shield agent uniform with white boots and gloves, like Fury. She had dark green hair and skin to match "I no you don't like it Justice- I mean Vance, but I agree with Gauntlet on this these kids need to know what happens if they screw up." She-Hulk said back to him
Justice replied angrily "It wasn't their fault Jennifer, that maniac Nitro destroyed-." "I know, but they goaded them into it, it was a tragedy for all of us." She said putting a consoling hand on his shoulder.
"Talk to him, or talk to Tony." Justice said as they kept walking till the came to an open doorway "What's the data storage room doing open?" Jennifer asked
Back inside the rows of machines Spider-Boy could hear voices.
Crap
Both Shield agents walked into the data room "Hello?" Justice called out as he held up his hand curling it into a fist making it glow with energy: "If your an intruder you just made the biggest mistake of your life." Jennifer said as they were almost on the row Spider-Boy was on.
Both Justice and She-Hulk leapt around the corner ready for anything but saw nothing their not even a spider.
"Could have sworn someone was here." Justice said lowering his guard.
"I think working for the government has made us paranoid." She-Hulk said walking out.
Justice followed her not noticing the pair of eyes peeking pour of the nearest floor vent. Inside Adrian had managed to squeeze himself into it when the door shut he sighed out in relief
Thank god I'm small... well not that small anymore this was a tight fit.
Spider-Boy climbed out of the vent and headed to the door. He opened it and started to heae back the way he came when he stopped seeing his escape route was cut off. Two shield guards had noticed the vent on the floor.
Dang it, it's okay I should be fine, the spider bot should still be recycling the feed.
He turned the other way and started to run, the other way he came to an elevator he dug his hands in between the seems of the two doors and wrenched it open. Leaping into the elevator shaft he started to climb the walls before he started to bounce off them to the top, dodging the incoming elevators along the way. When he reached the end he opened the doors out and slid into the top floor without anyone noticing.
So far, so good.
Spider-Boy dashed into the hallways running and flipping off the walls till he landed right in front of a corner and heard footsteps he instantly looked up to the nearest vent and zipped to it and got inside. As the footsteps walked away, Spider-Boy let out a small sigh in relief before continuing on inside vent. He balanced on his toes and finger tips so he wouldn't make as much noise.
That was to close, better stick to the vents from now on.
He continued to climb through the vents till he reached one that let light come in from the outside.
"Whoa." Adrian looked out to see Camp Hammond in full glory. Superheroes all a little older than him being taught by the older generation. He saw a few heroes he actually new, after looking for a while he turned away.
Making his way through the vents he turned into one corridor that was really hot, then metal walls where filled with steak and slick so it was hard for him to get a grip. The lens of his mask where started to fog up when he pressed his hand on the vents opening.
Crap
He fell immediately out of the ceiling and onto a hard wet, and warm floor, his "Ouch." Was followed by a loud scream of a girl. He looked up to see he had fallen right in the middle of a shower room, one occupied by a lot of naked woman. He looked up wiping away the steam from his goggles to see a blonde girl with light skin screaming surrounded by either clouds or steam, a girl that was a cross between a lizard and a human, another blonde but taller and more muscular, a few more and so on.
You know a lot of boys would kill for this, even more so the girls in front of me will kill me for this!
"Uh..." he gapped as he saw about a dozen hands all glowing and crackling with different super powers like fire, lighting, and even claws from the lizard girls.
Worser ways to die!
Spider-Boy flipped out of the showers in his black suit the super powered young women chasing him out with there intent clear to squash the arachnid. He burst through the door literally breaking it off the hinges and tearing into the hall. Alarms started to blare as he ran through the hallways jumping on top the ceiling and running across it as ceiling. In another part of the building both Justice and She-Hulk heard the alarms and so did about two dozen other heroes in the base.
Adrian bounced off the heads of cape killers and shield agents bashing there heads together and webbing them up before he landed in front of a door. He kicked it open and landed inside a large room "Oh crap." Standing in front of him was War Machine, She-Hulk, Justice, an African American man with a goatee and his right arm a massive robotically prosthetic in a black shirt and camp pants, "Oh yeah." War Machine said holding up all his weapons.
"I knew someone was here." Justice said as the heroes saw him "Spider-Boy- Adrian Parker, besides the fact your trespassing, a wanted fugitive, and about a dozen other charges you know how this ends." War Machine said through his mask.
Spider-Boy leapt over them "With you guys kissing my ass!" He said flying over them, he shot a web out to the nearest building to swing around with War Machine and Justice chasing after him "This is War Machine, have the camp go to full alert priority target is here do not let him get away." He said as Spider-Boy was being chased by heroes. Suddenly they rounded a corner after him but he was no where to be seen "Where'd he go?" War Machine gasped "Teleporter?" Justice asked when two webs shot out at them right in the face "Just good at hiding." Spider-Boy said blinding Justice and latching onto War Machine.
He tore the mini gun on the suits shoulder right off and smashed it into War Machines head like a baseball bat sending War Machine through s wall before leaping on top of a building. Meanwhile Justice used his powers to take off the webs and fly up after Spider-Boy. "Spider-Boy wait." Justice said flying around him "You know I can just grab you with my telekinesis!" He said manipulating the roof around Adrian to form a small wall Justice lowered himself in front of Adrian "This the part where you try to tell me I'm wrong and to young to understand?"
Vance Astrovik aka Justice, former New Warrior, has telekinesis like Jean Grey but not the mental abilities.
"I've seen enough to know that what you think your doing is right." Justice said holding his hand up and telekinetically grabbing Spider-Boy and lifting him up "So respect what I'm doing cause I believe it's right." Justice said as he started to carry him down.
Damn, I can't be captured, I won't give Iron Man the satisfaction
Spider-Boy could hear the sound of paws and claws scratching across walls "Hey Vance, do you like dogs?"
Good thing I brought back up
Justice looked up at him "What?"
Suddenly a shadow appeared over Justice and Adrian's first pet, the eight legged eight eyed but still very much fanged and clawed wolf monster "You know I always wanted a dog." Adrian said as he broke free from Justice who lost concentration and the wolf pounced on him before both Spider-Boy and the dog bounced off the walls "Calling him Spider-Dog is a little too obvious." Spider-Boy said as he patted the hound on the head "So I just call him Fang." He said patting the wolfs fur, Justices powers surged as he tried to blast the wolf off but it dodged him and Spider-Boy drove his fist right into Justices's face knocking him out cold with War Machine.
Suddenly running around the corner was both She-Hulk and Gauntlet, when they saw the two heroes and the four-legged Spider-Dog growling at them "Jesus." She-Hulk said seeing both Avengers down "The hell is that thing?" Gauntlet said holding up his giant metal arm "What you've never seen an eleven year old?" Spider-Boy said as he and Fang attacked. The Spider-Dog tackled She-Hulk and started bite and claw at her, while Spider-Boy took on Gauntlet.
I know She-Hulk, but this guy was in the file about this place Fury made me look over about a dozen times.
Spider-Boy leapt around Gauntlet who swung his gigantic right metal arm, despite having the large metal arm the African American man was faster than an average human.
Joseph Green, found a robotic gauntlet in the Middle East when the U.S. government found it crashed there after two aliens had a death match above the planet. Not only does it make him a lot stronger, but it also can make an energy hand.
"Not bad kid, better than the rookies here." Gauntlet said as he held the gauntlet up and made a pure energy hand appear out of the gauntlet and it started to chase him around the area. To avoid it Spider-Boy leapt over the walls and off them before grabbing War Machine with his webs and hurling him into the hand. "One thing I learned about fighting is you don't get better by doing it in some camp." Spider-Boy said as he landed on a wall pressing his feet into hard cracking the wall "You fight every day!" He said swinging his left foot right into Gauntlets face sending Green through the wall "GAUNTLET!" She-Hulk yelled as she saw the man go through the wall.
… Whoa I was just trying to knock him out?
He looked at hole in the wall, his head snapped back to She-Hulk and Spider-Dog, the dog was thrown across alley between the buildings, it shot up still snarling. While She-Hulk had had her blue SHIELD suit torn either by her muscles growing or the wolfs sharp fangs "I just realized how much I hate dogs." She growled as she looked at Spider-Boy "Don't think he likes you either." He said as he and the green giantess "Guess the feelings mutual, I see you started keeping strange friends." She-Hulk replied.
"Good ones are hard to come by." Spider-Boy replied as the Spider-Dog got up and near him, "So we're not friends any more, is that it?" She-Hulk asked as Spider-Boy could hear the metal boots of Shield Cape Killers drawing near.
Spider-Sense!
The wall behind him exploded and Gauntlet appeared grabbing hold of him with his energy hand from the gauntlet. "Adrian!" She-Hulk yelled as Gauntlet grabbed I'm and smashed him in to the ground and across the alley back into the open area of the base. Standing up he looked to see Gauntlet heading right toward him. "Whoa take it easy Joseph." She-Hulk said as she came up to him but his eyes were glazed over as if possessed.
"Oh boy." She-Hulk said swinging his arm around smashing her with the giant robot arm.
Oh yeah… the alien arm… it can have a mind of its own.
The marine started to stomp toward Spider-Boy as he got up, Gauntlet leapt up and smashed his giant metal right arm into the ground right as Spider-Boy dodged him. He started to smash the ground and around his air. Spider-Boy dodged and bounced around till Gauntlet used his energy arm grabbing him and whipping him around before smashing him into the ground over and over.
He dropped Spider-Boy on the ground twenty feet away and started to walk toward him.
Spider-Boy coughed as he started to get up the wind knocked out of him gasping for air, his own body bruised and most likely broken. Spider-Dog rushed Gauntlet and pounced, Gauntlet grabbed the dog and smashed it into the ground.
… can barely move… but I need to move… need to get up.
Leaving the dog behind, Gauntlet walked up to him and drew back his giant metal fist his body not in control. Back at the two buildings, She-Hulk, War Machine and Justice started to recover "Jenn, get up, get up, Gauntlets arm has gone sentient again." Justice said as he helped her up.
…. Need to fight… need to kill…
The metal fist flew right toward, Spider-Boys blood boiled, he shot up his own fist heading straight for the alien gauntlet connected to his body.
KRAASH
The heroes behind them watched in shock as Spider-Boy smashed his fist right into Gauntlets metallic hand ripping through the metal ripping apart the fingers forearm. The metal and wiring flew out wild as his arm was destroyed. All the Avengers present gasped seeing the gauntlet be destroyed a massive shockwave nearly blowing them all back onto their asses. Gauntlet staggered back yelling in pain when he shook his head "… what… what happened?" He was answered by Spider-Boys black gloved fist right into his jaw.
Spider-Boy started to pound the drill sergeants face in, he started to rip into him, tearing bones breaking, his skull cracking as the Avengers all came after him, "Spider-Boy stop- your killing him." She-Hulk said as Spider-Boy was held back by the three others, he kicked and punched throwing Justice off him and smashing his fist into War Machines chest sending him back again leaving a dent in the armor.
Both She-Hulk and him smashed there fists into one another, Spider-Boy was holding back her green muscles as she pressed both hands "Some ones been lifting weights." She-Hulk said to him all Spider-Boy did was yell as he started to push harder and so did she. The boys skinny body while young started to tear the seems of his costume as he pressed his muscles to the limit and beyond.
War Machine looked at his armor the chest holding a large metal fist print, "Sorry Tony… this ends now." War Machine said holding up his metal arm, "She-Hulk move." He said as one of the cannons rose up on it and charged "War Machine what are you doing!?" Justice asked She-Hulk saw him and let go rolling out of the way as War Machine unleashed his cannon shooting a bright green energy beam right into Spider-Boy too big for him to dodge, Spider-Boy let out a loud scream as the beam engulfed him.
When the dust cleared Spider-Boy was on the ground motionless and skill, "Rhodey what the hell!" Justice yelled at him "Don't start Vance, the kid was out of control." War Machine said as She-Hulk saw the boy not moving, "We need medics here now." She-Hulk said as she looked back at Gauntlet whose metal arm was still smoking. "Wait, don't do anything." War Machine said as he got between her and Spider-Boy "What are you talking about, you could have just killed him." She-Hulk said grabbing War Machines hand that was in front over squeezing the metal tightly "I used my concussion cannon, lowest level and you know he can take it." War Machine said to her "But even more this is the second time we've thought we've had him." War Machine pointed out while the bases security started to enter into the area.
"Each time he's come too he's slipped away." War Machine said to them "He's eleven years old." Vance said back to him "That eleven year old just tore us apart, and smashed an indestructible alien weapon with his right hook." War Machine said as Spider-Boy laid there unconscious but the dog was another matter. Spider-Dog or Fang looked up to see Spider-Boy as a voice echoed in its ears 'Here me dog…. And run'.
"Call the medics, but we aren't going any where- LOOK OUT!" Spider-Dog broke right into them cutting through them like an axe of fur and claws toward Spider-Boy "Stop it!" Justice yelled as the dog ran by Spider-Boy. The kids hands leapt up and grabbed onto the wolfs fur and let it drag him away.
"After them." War Machine said as the Wolf and Spider-Boy fled the area suddenly the figure of an appriation appeared in front of the dog and boy "Teleporter!" War Machine said flying straight after Spider-Boy and Spider-Dog into the folds of a dark red cloak.
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
"Is he alive?" someone said, a woman by the tone.
"He's alive, but lets get that mask off." A mans voice said.
NO!
Spider-Boys eyes shot open as he his hand instantly shot up to see a familiar face, Spider-Boy was on a couch looking directly into the face of one Luke Cage. Power Man, Hero for Hire, Avenger, and his friend. "… Cage?" Adrian said letting go of Lukes large hand "Yeah its me kid." Cage said as Spider-Boy looked to see he was inside some sort of house, a very nice one with a large room covered in nice furniture. Next to Cage was another familiar face "Spider-Woman?" he asked seeing the red suited woman "How did I?"
"Ask the doc." Cage said as he gestured to the other side of the bed he was in "Doctor Steven Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, Master of Mystics, Neurosurgeon and your host, welcome to the Sanctum Sanctorium."
That's a lot of S's
Next to Strange was Fang sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed. Next to the wolf patting its head was another canine like creature "Wolverine?" Adrian said seeing the blue and yellow spandex Canadian "Hey lil'bub." Among the heroes was the green suited and yellow masked Iron Fist and a dark black suited ninja with black robes and armor with a gold tint.
Thought Ronin was a girl?
"You mean I'm in New York?" Adrian asked him "Yeah, we intercepted War Machines transmission to Tony, and the Doc did the rest." Cage said getting up "Oh… thanks." The boy said smiling. Some of the heroes snickered at his sheepish answer. "You already know Iron Fist and tall dark and scary is Ronin." Luke said getting up from the bed "Glad to have you back." Iron Fist said "Not really Ronin "Thought Ronin was a girl?" Adrian asked them "It's just Hawkeye playing Ninja." Luke said making everyone snicker. Wolverine took a whiff of the air his heightened senses picking up a new sent "Uh oh." Wolverine said "What is it?" Spider-Woman asked him "Things are about to get tense." He said as the door opened and standing in the doorway was one black suited Spider-Man.
Everyone looked at Adrians dad standing in the doorway holding the door. "… Come on you all, time to go." Cage said as everyone headed to the door walking past the wall crawler, "Go easy on him." Cage said into Peters ear as they left. The door was shut leaving the two in the room alone with Fang who sat up and looked at Spider-Man.
Spider-Man walked toward him and stood at the edge of the bed both of them looking at one another in silence, not having seen one another in over a year, "Dad…" Adrian started "I'm so sor-" Spider-Boy was cut off by Spider-Man wrapping both arms around the boy wrapping him up into a tight hug and pulling him close. "No… I'm sorry, sorry I did this to you." Peter said pulling his mask off showing red puffy eyes. Adrian's eyes started to get watery as he hugged his dad back tightly.
