Chapter 5
After about a half an hour of riding the car stopped. Peter paid the driver and we walked down about a block.
"Here it is, my home."
I looked up at the apartment building.
"Not bad."
"Don't slam it until you've seen the inside."
We walked in and took the elevator up. When we got to the third floor we got off. We walked down the hall and stopped at apartment 3-G.
"Here we are." He unlocked the door and opened it.
"Nice place."
There was the typical couch, two chairs, television, and an entertainment center. In one corner there was an advanced chemistry set. There was a door with a sign that said do not enter when light is lit.
"Come over here." Peter called me over to the chemistry set.
I walked over and he handed me two plastic and metal contraptions.
"Web shooters, your gonna want to get a basic chemistry set, until then this should be enough web fluid. This is the recipe for web fluid."
"Chris Collins, can you here me?" A voice said from nowhere.
"What was that?" Peter asked.
"Not sure."
"Speak into the watch I gave you."
"Okay," I held the watch near my mouth, "Chris here."
"Okay, Chris, it's me, Jessica, First thing tomorrow morning I need you to return to M.C.C., also, I see you made your first television premier with Spiderman, good choice, he is definitely a good guy, well, that's all for now, see you tomorrow morning."
"I like her." Peter said.
"Well, I guess I better get going." I said.
"Here," Mary Jane said, "Your gonna want to try out the web shooters." She opened a window.
"Thanks." I pressed my watch after I put the web shooters on. The material covered the web shooters.
I jumped out the window and launched some webbing. It stuck to a building and I swung to another building. I remembered what Spiderman had done earlier. I launched to another building and centered myself over the street. I let go and launched another piece of webbing. It stuck to another building. I did this all the way to the address my Uncle had given me for his house. I swung in between the two houses of my Uncle's and his neighbor. I 'disengaged' my suit and pulled the web-shooters over my biceps. I rolled my sleeves over top of them and walked around the corner into my Uncle's house.
"Uncle Gene, I'm here."
"I'm in the kitchen."
I walked in to find the table filled with food.
"I thought I introduce you to American culture. We have Hot Dogs, Hamburger's, 'French' Fries, Pizza, any type of Pop you want, and every single condiment available."
"Jeez, and we're gonna eat all of it?"
"You better believe it, and for desert, good old American Pie."
"I'm gonna die from grease, fat, and sugar, aren't I?"
"Oh yeah, that's right, your mother was a health nut, well, I could run out and get some tofu."
"No! I'll take my chances with the grease!"
My uncle turned on the news and we sat down to eat.
"Well, can you guess what our top story is today Mary?"
"It wouldn't have anything to do with the new wall-crawler seen today with Spiderman would it Bob?"
"That's right. Today, near the Empire State Hospital you could find Spiderman battling the Green Goblin. When it appeared that Spiderman was done for, a stranger, in a black suit leapt from a building and saved Spiderman. The two teamed up to finish the battle and then disappeared together."
"You don't think that Spiderman is part of a duo now, do you Bob?"
"I don't know, but now over to Shannon with the weather."
"Thank you Bob…"
"That is a strange character, that Spiderman, swinging around, fighting wrong-doer's, I just hope his partner has the same goal."
"I think he does Uncle." I said taking a bite of my hamburger.
We ate and watched the news for almost an hour. Then my uncle took out the pie and we finished it off.
"Oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever ate that much in my life." I said leaning back in my chair.
"Maybe it wasn't such a great idea after all."
We laughed.
"Well, I think I'm going to go sleep some of it off."
"Well, I'm going to go job search early tomorrow, so I might not be here when you wake up."
"All right, that's fine, oh, your room is the first one up the stairs on the right, the bathroom is just across the hall, I put your bags in your room."
"Thanks."
I walked up the stairs and walked into my room. I put my suit case on the floor.
"I'll unpack tomorrow."
I took my clothes off and went to bed.
