The Insey-Winsey Spider-Man
Part 15: In the Octopus's Garden
By
The Uncanny R-Man
Disclaimer- I don't own anything. Todd, Felicia, the rest of the Brotherhood and Dr Octopus all belong to Marvel.
Shout Outs-
Anon(girl)- You really are a Pyro fangirl aren't you? Heh! And yes, I did get the Pietro/cotton candy machine bit from you but instead of Scott, I used Pietro.
Sparky genocide- Glad you liked the fight with Electro, hopefully you'll like Doc Ock's appearance too!
Agent-G- I was kinda disappointed with the Electro fight myself, and I wrote the damn thing! Crystal is a canon character. She first appeared in an issue of the Fantastic 4 (I forget which one) where she began a relationship with the Human Torch. After they broke up, she began a relationship with Quicksilver, going on to marry him and then have a child with him too, called Luna. I hope that cleared it all up.
Risty- Damn my crappy science skills! *Shakes fist angrily! * Berto and Tabby is actually a canon couple, just read X-Force for proof. Ultimate Pietro into incest? Since when? Who with? Eeew!
Dark Jaded Rose- Sympathy for Pietro and Roberto? Are you tripping? I dressed MJ like that just for you! *Kiss * ^_~

The Brotherhood Boarding House: 6 pm-
Lance and Fred are sat in front of the TV as Todd comes bounding down the stairs.
'Have you guys seen Felicia?' he asks.
'She left a note on the fridge.' Lance replies, not even looking away from the TV.
'She said something about wearing your costume.' Fred joins in, taking a bite out of his pizza.
Todd hops into the kitchen and up to the fridge. He sees the note stuck to the fridge door with a Hello Kitty fridge magnet and takes it off. He reads it out loud to himself.
'Toddy, sorry I can't be there right now; I'm preparing a special surprise for you. Just meet me on the top of Worthington Towers at 7.30. Wear your costume.'
Todd puts down the note and taps his chin thoughtfully.
'I wonder what she's got planned?'
He then hops out of the room and into the living room.
'I'm just going to have a shower guys!' He says. 'I'm going on a date with 'Licia!'
Lance looks at Fred with an incredulous expression on his face.
'Did he just say shower?'
'Meh, what'cha gonna do? Love makes you do the wacky!' Fred shrugs.
Later-
Todd hops down the stairs clad in his usual Brotherhood costume.
'Seeya later guys! Don't wait up, yo!'
With that, he bounces out the door and is gone.
Fred pops his head out the kitchen and looks at Lance, who is still sat on the sofa.
'Don't you think it's weird?' He asks. 'Everybody's getting paired up but me. Todd's got Felicia, Wanda's got Kurt and Pietro's got Crystal. Hell, even you've got that Mary chick!'
'You're not gonna get maudlin on me are you, man?' Lance replies.
'Hell no!' Fred says. 'As long as I've got a foot long grilled cheese sandwich, I'm happy!'
***
Worthington Towers: Later-
A tall good-looking blonde guy (Warren Worthington) walks in through the front entrance of Worthington Tower. He walks past the security guard on duty.
'Evenin' Mister Worthington.' The guard says.
'Evenin!' Warren replies. He then takes an elevator up several floors. Once the elevator has gone as far as it'll go, Warren gets out and takes the stairs for the next few floors. When he reaches the roof access door, he walks out onto the roof.
Felicia Hardy is sat out on the roof clad in a low cut leather catsuit with fur-trimmed cuffs and boots.
'Damn you look hot tonight Snookums!' 'Warren' says as he presses a button on his watch. There is a sizzle of static and we see that it was Todd all along, disguised as Warren all along using on of Kurt's old image inducers.
'You don't look so bad yourself Toddy!' Felicia replies, looking Todd up and down appreciatively. She pats the blanket laid out on the floor next to her. 'Why don't you join me?'
Todd hops over and sits down next to her.
'Champagne?' Felicia offers, pouring a couple of glasses.
'Thanks.' Todd says, taking a glass from her. 'So why'd you want to meet me up here for, yo?'
'I just like the view.' Felicia replies. 'I come and sit up here all by myself sometimes.'
Todd looks over at the lights of Bayville.
'I've gotta say Cuddle Bumps, it is a good view!'
Felicia then locks her hand in Todd's and leans closer and kisses him. Todd gently lowers her back and deepens the kiss. Then they are broke apart by the sound of breaking glass and a burst of gunfire. Felicia looks over the edge of the roof and peers down.
'It looks like there's a commotion at Bayville Bank, we'd better go check it out!'
'What are we?' Todd asks. 'The Avengers? Let them handle it!'
'C'mon Toddy!' Felicia replies. 'Great power and all that! Let's go!'
Todd reluctantly gets up and walks over to the roof edge.
'How are we gonna get down there, you?' He asks.
'With this!' Felicia replies as she flexes her wrist and a grappling hook shoots out.
'How'd you do that, you? That was cool!' Todd grins.
'I've got mini grappling hooks in my bracelets!' Felicia replies as she grabs the wire and tests for strength. 'You coming?'
Todd cautiously holds onto Felicia and lets out a fearful shriek as they swing over to the bank.
***
Bayville Bank-
Several armed guards are firing at a man in a green jumpsuit, glasses and a pudding bowl haircut holding several bags of money in his hands. This isn't any ordinary man and his hands aren't any ordinary hands. The man is Dr Octopus and he's holding the moneybags with one pair of his metal tentacles while he fends off the gunfire with his other pair.
'Do you think that gunfire can stop Dr Octopus?' He yells. 'These tentacles can crush a tank!'
To prove his point, Octopus hits one of the security guards with a tentacle, smashing him through a window.
The few remaining guards let rip with a final salvo of gunfire as Octopus picks up a cash desk. He is about to throw it when he is hit in the eyes with a glob of green goo.
'Who dares?'
'We dare, ya four-eyed goon!' Todd yells.
'Four-eyed goon?' Felicia asks.
'What?' Todd replies. 'I left my witty book in my other pants!'
Octopus tears at the goo with his hands.
'You will pay for this!' He yells. 'No on humiliates Dr Octopus!'
'Why do the bad guys always refer to themselves in the third person?' Felicia asks.
'Jokes later Snookums!' Todd says. 'But first, duck!'
Felicia narrowly avoids the cash desk that is thrown at her.
'Stay still so I can crush you!' Octopus yells.
'Not on your life Spanky!' Felicia yells back as she leaps into the air. She turns mid-leap and drops onto Octopus's back. She then proceeds to pummel him mercilessly.
'Cat!' Todd yells. 'Watch out for his arms!'
Too late, Octopus grabs Felicia off his back with one of his tentacles and starts to crush her in its grip.
'You get your stinking tentacles off her you damn dirty octopus!' Todd yells as he leaps to Felicia's rescue. He whips out a Tazer from his pocket and jams it into the arm's joint. Octopus lets out a yell of pain, as the arms' workings are short-circuited, letting Felicia go.
As she drops to the floor, Felicia sweeps her legs under Octopus, tripping him up.
'You think a puny kick can harm me?' Octopus yells. 'Watch this!' One of the tentacles whips out in Felicia's direction. He easily avoids them but Todd isn't so lucky! The tentacle hits him square in the ribs, sending him sailing into a vending machine. He falls to the ground unconscious.
'You'll pay for that Octopus!' Felicia hisses.
'I'd like to see you try!' Octopus laughs.
'Oh I'll try alright!' Felicia glares.
She leaps into the air again. Octopus tries to grab her but she's too fast. Felicia lands on Octopus's back and starts to tear at the joins of his metal arms.
'No!' Octopus yells. 'Don't do that! My tentacles will be powerless!'
'Too bad!' Felicia grins as she rips out one more wire. 'It looks like you're perfectly 'armless!'
'I don't need my tentacles to beat you!' Octopus grins as he goes for a gun. Felicia sees this movement and kicks him in the chest, knocking the wind out of him. She then gives him a vicious punch to the face, breaking his nose. Then again, and again, and again!
'Please, I beg you, stop!' Octopus whimpers. 'No more!'
Felicia drops Octopus and shoots him a look of disgust.
'There's nothing worse than a cowardly super villain!' She sneers.
***
Later, after the cops have taken away an unconscious Dr Octopus-
Felicia is now in her room tending to Todd's wounds.
'Ow!' Todd squeaks. 'That hurt!'
Felicia stops dabbing Todd's wounds and shoots him a look.
'Tch, you're such a guy!' Felicia teases. 'Hit him upside the head with a crowbar and he'll be fine but try to disinfect his wounds and he cries like a silver-haired speedster!'
'You could give me more credit, yo!' Todd replies. 'I did leap to your rescue!'
Felicia just smiles good-naturedly and turns to Todd's dislocated shoulder.
'We're gonna need a towel!' Felicia says.
Todd gets a fearful look on his face.
'Uh what for Cuddle Bumps?'
'For your shoulder silly!' She grins. 'Ah well, this'll do!'
Felicia picks up and old sweater and ties it around Todd's shoulder.
' You hang onto the bedpost cuz this is gonna hurt like Hell!'
Todd closes his eyes and whimpers in fear.
Downstairs, Fred and Lance jump as an almighty scream cuts through the air.
'AAARRGHHH!'
SNAP!
'Jeez!' Todd winces. 'What are you, yo? A sledgehammer?'
'Nuh-uh.' Felicia replies. 'I'm just the pretty blonde screwdriver that fixes things!'
'I think I swallowed my own teeth!' Todd groans.
He's knocked off his feet as Felicia tackles him to the ground.
'Hee! I looove it when you talk dirty!'
'Ow!'
'Sorry!'
END...
NOTES- I got the idea while I was reading Spectacular Spider-Man #7. Spidey had just been handed his butt to him by Doc Ock and MJ was applying first aid to his dislocated arm. The whole 'sledgehammer' line and the tackling to the ground come from the same issue too!
NEXT: BEACH TRIP! And... The Sandman!
