Licky: I'll try but keep in mind I'm also doing two other stories while
doing this one, so it might not be as quick as you might want it, but
it won't take weeks that I can assure you.
Supergirlhv: Hey I had to look him up just to see what his real name was. Yes they are called the Sinister Six, and for shame reading this at school...unless it's a boring class then please do.
Beastdog: I bet that's what he's thinking at that moment too, so here's what he came up with.
Red Witch: Yes it is you can count on it.
Emmett Thompson: Well whatever you want to call it, things are getting interesting now to say the least.
qwerty: Oh yeah, you're right about that.
NctrnlBst: Oh yeah he'll get some help alright and he will and won't be able to keep it a secret. You'll see what I mean soon.
The Uncanny R-Man: You forget Norman isn't a fool, he had planed to deal with them, but you'll see what I mean in this chapter.
celtcath74: Well you're about to find out.
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 23: TO THE RESCUE
After what had happened at the museum Peter was told to go home since classes would be cancelled for the rest of the day in case this was just the beginning. Kitty gave him a ride and they were silent the entire time.
Peter went up to his apartment and Kitty followed. "What are we going to do Peter?" She asked him. He didn't answer right away. Instead he opened his door and then saw a package sitting on a table with a green ribbon on it.
Peter moved to it and saw it was addressed to him. He opened it and saw it was a video tape. Kitty looked at it then looked around. "MJ not in?" She asked suddenly realizing she wasn't in.
"She's out trying for a new modeling job." Peter said looking at the tape and put it in. He had a horrible feeling about it. He popped it in and started it up. The image on the tape first shoed the kids locked up behind bars, they also could see something around their necks. They looked like some kind of metallic collars. "Well look what we got here, a group of students all tucked in for the day, isn't it cute?" They heard a voice off screen but Peter knew who it was.
"In case you were wondering those are my own versions of the mutant control collars on them. Not only will they suppress their powers but there is also a small explosive in there too. So if you don't follow my demands, then they'll lose their heads...literally."
The image cut away then it was back again only it was a headshot of the Green Goblin. "Well Peter since I know you care what happens to these kids, here's the deal." He said grinning the entire time. "You come alone, no X- Men or any other heroes or the kids go bye-bye. We wouldn't want to spoil the party with certain party crashers, besides you have a few friends here who have a lot to say and do to you after all the years of getting in our way after all."
An address started to show up on the screen. "I suggest you get here as fast as you can Spider, or I might lose patience and then the kids will get an up close and personal view of the afterlife." The image cut out after that.
Kitty had paled during it all, she knew he was serious and would do it. "OH God, he knows you're Spider-Man?" Peter sighed and nodded his head. "Peter what are we going to do?" She saw him get up and go to the bedroom and she followed him.
"WE are not going to do anything. You heard what Norman Osborn said, only me or the others will die and he will do it." Peter said to her taking out a costume. "Kitty this is all my fault. He targeted the kids because he knew it was a way to get to me, and now that he's reformed the Sinister Six he wants to be sure I'll be dead at the end of this."
He turned to her and gently grabbed her arms. "Kitty...promise me you won't involve the X-Men in this. Norman knows me too well and he'll know if I came with backup. This is just between him and me. Now promise me."
"Peter how can you ask me that?" She said afraid she was about to lose another friend.
"Please...as my friend." Peter begged her. She couldn't look in his eyes and nodded. She felt a tear fall. It was good enough for him. Kitty slowly walked out of the apartment as Peter got dressed. When she got to the streets she saw him swinging in the distance.
"No! I won't lose another friend." She said out loud, but she made a promise not to involve the X-Men. Then she got an idea. She reached into her purse and pulled out her cell phone and dialed the number of the school. It took a while but she got Logan.
'He said not the X-Men, but he didn't say anything about an X-Man.' She thought to herself. "Logan it's me, I've found where the kids are, Spider- Man is already on his way there, and he'll need help."
THE WAREHOUSE
By now the kids had regain consciousness and of course were not pleased at all by their surroundings, and even less by the collars.
"Can anyone use their powers?" Josh said, his skin it's normal color.
"No." David said harshly. "But then again there's nothing much for me to work with either." He muttered to himself.
"Neither can us." The Cuckoos said only slightly in unison.
"Same here." Sofia said then looked to Noriko and gasped as she took off the gauntlets and they all could she her hands and arms. She sat there mystified by it, she was just looking at them then feeling one arm with the other. It had been so long since she could touch she thought she had forgotten what it was like.
"Well looks like the kiddies are up." They turned and saw Sandman and Electro standing near the cell. Sandman moved closer to the kids. "Well let's get the usual questions out of the way shall we? First off those things around your necks not only will block your powers, but if you try and take them off without the code they explode."
The kids didn't like the sound of that and Laurie gasped as her hand was near the collar at the time and quickly took it away.
"Why are we here? Since when do you guys have a thing against mutants?" David angrily asked them.
Electro spoke up then. "It's not about you, Green Goblin said that if we get you he can bait Spider-Man out."
"Why would Spider-Man want to help us? He doesn't even now us?" Josh asked him. 'Although he did help out when the school was under attack.' He thought to himself, but thought that wasn't a smart thing to say out loud to them.
"Hell if we know?" Electro said throwing his hands up. "That guy never lets anyone in on his entire plans, but he's been after the Spider for a very long time and has hurt him better then anyone so we figured if anyone could come up with a plan to finish him off he would."
The Vulture however was sitting on the roof seeing he got stuck with look out duty. "Why do I keep teaming up with these guys? I mean I'm wealthy I could afford a whole bunch of henchmen for this kind of crap. What the hell is taking him so long, usually Spider-Man swings in about now, especially that Goblin said he gave him a tape with the kids on it."
He was currently over looking the warehouse from his perch across from it several buildings away looking for any sign of him. What he didn't know was that Peter knew it was a trap so he had swung around to see anyway in that wasn't guarded.
While looking around his spider sense had gone off and he leaped into the shadows. It took a little looking around but he found Vulture on the building. He crawled along the building to the side and up the wall.
When he reached the top he came up behind him, he crept forward and had reached just behind the old man. "Hey buddy, you got a great bird's eye view don't ya." He said. The Vulture snapped his head around just in time for Spider-Man to nail him a good one on his unprotected face.
The Vulture slumped to the ground and Peter tied him up. "One down five to go." He said to himself, and took off for the warehouse. He found an opened skylight and crawled in, he could see that the place was mostly dark but the cage holding the kids was well lit enough.
He also saw Electro and Sandman there. There seemed to be no sign of the others and he figured this was going to be his best shot to take out the Sinister Six, since once the rest of them gathered together it would be impossible to take them all on.
He crawled over them and leaped down. But his spider sense went off too late, and he was suddenly blinded by all the lights going on, then he felt something metallic hit him in the chest and sent him crashing into a wooden box, smashing it.
He was fighting the haze from his vision when the same metallic object that turned out to be one of Doc Ock's tentacles grab him by the throat and thrash him around a bit and threw him into the side of the cage.
Peter groaned as he hit, he knew if he lived he would feel the bruises for a while after it. He looked around and saw Mysterio and Doc Ock joining Sandman and Electro. 'They must have been in the shadows, stupid Parker real stupid.' He thought to himself.
Then he heard the maniacal laughter of the Green Goblin as he flew in with Vulture over his shoulder still out and still tied up. "Did you really expect it to be that easy?"
If he could he would have spit out the blood in his mouth before answering. "Well if you must know...for a minute there...yeah I did."
The Goblin dropped the Vulture to the floor and with a razor bat sliced the webbing. "Someone wake him up. I don't think he'll want to miss this."
'Well this is just going so well for me so far...next time...if there is one, I got to come up with a better plan.' Peter thought as the Sinister Six closed in on him.
NEXT UP CHAPTER 24: SHOWDOWN AGAINST THE SINISTER SIX
Pretty much a big ass fight scene is next. Yeah I know cliffhangers are torture but they must be done. I'll try and get the next chapter done hopefully by Sunday, if not then maybe by Tuesday.
