"So where is it?" a voice asked as he walked around a lab, this was Herman Schultz a master thief who was looking for something in the R&D department of Stark Industries. Something very valuable he was hired to steal, but he didn't know what it was until he came upon a cylinder of a silvery blue metal and scanned it, he smirked upon realising what it was
"Perfect" he said as he placed the cylinder in his satchel before he retreated outside of the department
"Hold on you" Spiderman said as he leapt into the air and landed in front of Herman "I think its seriously late to be working isn't it?"
"Spiderman, you've been making a pest of yourself" the thief said
"So what did you take?" Spiderman asked
"Noneya" the thief said
"What's Noneya?" Spiderman asked
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" the thief said pulling out a high tech bomb and throwing it at Spiderman before it released a bright light
"What was that?" Spiderman asked "And where did he go?" he said blinking "I think I need to add some optical upgrades" he said before swinging off
"See you later Spider" Herman said as he ran off the opposite direction
"So this guy breaks into Stark R&D and only steals a cylinder that was silvery blue, what about Spiderman?" Eddie asked a guard as Peter was awestruck at just the tech he was seeing
"He just showed up and the thief threw some sort of grenade which blinded him and me allowing the thief to get away" the guard said
"So what was it he stole?" Eddie asked
"I'm not sure" The guard said
"I think I know" Peter said
"What was it?" Eddie asked
"Vibranium" Peter said
"Vibranium, he stole Vibranium! How did Stark get his hands on a cylinder of Vibranium?" Eddie asked shocked
"I'm not sure" the guard said
"Maybe he needs it for something" Peter said
"But what?" Eddie asked
"Vibranium has a ton of uses" Gwen said as she was in the lab standing over a microscope
"Such as?" Peter asked as he was working on his laptop when he looked up with a scowl
"What is it?" Gwen said only to see Liz Allen, a mutual friend of their walking past with her head down "Shit"
"What?" Peter asked
"Gabe, he's picked her" Gwen said "I'll be back"
"Gabe, who in the world is Gabe?" Peter asked looking around before finding something "Okay so why would he want that"
At a hidden location Herman Schultz had placed the cylinder of Vibranium on a mill to create ribbons of Vibranium which he took over a suit being made and threaded it over a layer of foam latex, once he had done that until there was what appeared to be a vest of Vibranium Herman grabbed a piece of yellow fabric and placed it over top and stitched it to make it look like it was composed of quilted squares put on an angle; once he did that he grabbed a brown leather wrestler's vest and pants and left them next to the shirt he was making. Once he had everything he pulled the Vibranium shirt on before he grabbed the brown leather garments and pulled them on and tested the flexibility of them and nodded
"Feels good" he said grabbing a mask and slipping it on. "Now just one more thing to grab" he said walking over to two silver gauntlets which he loaded up with a power source "Now time to say hi to my former boss" he said walking out of his base.
"Hey Harry" Peter said
"hey Pete what's up?" Harry asked
"Something happened today, and I was wondering if you would happen to know anything about it" Peter said
"Probably what was it?" Harry asked
"She freaked out when she saw Liz and said something about a Gabe" Peter said
"Gabriel Stacy, who older brother; those two don't get along very well considering he's done a couple of years in juvie" Harry said
"And why would he be targeting Liz Allan?" Peter asked
"Because he gets off on bullying girls, each time he picks a different girl and this time its Liz" Harry said "I just wish I could get one good punch in at that sucker"
"Wow, I only just learned of him and I want to slug him" Peter said before an alarm went off on Harry's phone
"Yeah well we got bigger problems now Pete, someone's attacking Oscorp!" Harry shouted
"What?" Peter said looking at the phone alert
"I have to go" Harry said before racing off "We'll deal with Gabe later"
"Okay" Peter shouted "I better get over there as well" he said grabbing his spider gear and booking it
Harry arrived at Oscorp to see the glass doors were smashed in and the guards were on the floor
"Hey you okay?" he asked running over to one of them
"Yeah we are, but he got away" the guard said
"Who?" Harry asked
"Some guy in a yellow quilt" the guard said
"Sounds comfy" Spiderman said showing up
"Spiderman, what are you doing here?" Harry asked
"I was in the neighbourhood and after the Stark R&D was attacked I thought it would be irresponsible of me not to check things out" Spiderman said
"Thanks" Harry said
"So where is he?" Spiderman asked before his spider-sense went off "never mind he's here!" he shouted as the trio saw a massive supercomputer fly at them. Spiderman acted quickly and webbed it up to stop them from crushing them
"Well, well, well I wasn't expecting to squash the bug, but I bit you'll make me a very rich man, when I offer you head to the highest bidder out of the crime boss" the guy in a yellow quilt said
"So who am I dealing with him? the Quilted" Spiderman said
"Ya'll can call me the Shocker" Shocker said
"Ya'll? what did you grow up in the deep south?" Spiderman asked
"You mocking the south?" Shocker asked
"No, no of course not, just wondering what part" Spiderman said
"Good old South Carolina" Shocker said
"Oh so you're Cajun" Spiderman said dodging a blast from Shocker
"That's Louisiana you dolt" Shocker said
"Even I knew that" Harry said
"Huh baby Osborne, I was looking for you pa, but you'll have to do for now" Shocker said
"Don't even think of it" Spiderman said
"Too late" Shocker said blasting at Spiderman, who used his spider sense to dodge at the last second before he used his webs to propel him at Shocker, kicking him in the shoulder, only to be blasted back by Shocker's gauntlets knocking into the wall while causing his ear to ring loud making him stumble a bit due to his disorientation, once he was back on his feet Shocker was in front of him and punched him in the stomach making him fall backwards. Shocker then picked up Spiderman and threw him at the wall
"SPIDEY!" Harry shouted as he pulled out a guard's gun and shakily aimed at Shocker, who just knocked it out of his hands without looking
"Boys shouldn't be playing with guns" Shocker said
"Always be on your guard" Spiderman said as he fired a web bullet at Shocker knocking him back, Spiderman struggled to his feet and shook his head
"You okay?" Harry asked rushing over
"Give me a minute" Spiderman said breathing deeply to clear his head "And possibly some junk food"
"Sorry, but Oscorp food has at least a four star health standard" Harry said
"Well, that's going in my review of the place" Spiderman groaned "What I wouldn't kill for some Feige's right now"
Yuri Watanabe looked around as she walked through the Oscorp lobby, the CSI boys were examining the scene while a couple of medics looked after the guards and Harry Osborn, then she reached her destination she dropped a pizza box onto Spiderman's stomach, who opened the box , lifted his mask and tried to shove a whole slice into his mouth
"Yuri, does this pizza have Pineapple on it?" Spiderman asked
"Yeah it does, why you don't think Pineapple should be on Pizza" Yuri said
"No, no I'm the opposite I think there should be more pizza with Pineapple on it" Spiderman said
"Okay, so what happened?" Yuri asked "Swallow then details" she said
"Bad guy was here threatening the guards and Osborn, tried to fight him off, only to take a shockwave to the head, got punched down knocked about a bit then asked for pizza" Spiderman said
"What did this guy look like?" Yuri asked
"He wore a yellow quilt and brown leather, southern accent, probably six foot 2, silver gauntlet that unleash shockwaves as some sort of sonic attack" Spiderman said
"What did he want?" Yuri asked
"Blast that darn spider, oh well I'll bring down Norman Osborn it the last thing I do" Shocker said removing his mask and throwing it to the side as he sliced more Vibranium off the cylinder before exposing it to his gauntlets' attack before he pulled out a large device "That damn buffoon thinks he's got me right where he wants me, hah I'll show him" Shocker said tinkering with the device. Then he grabbed the Vibranium and inserted it into the device before smiling. "Time to shock the world" he said before placing the device into a duffle bag and threw a leather duster on over his costume and walked past a wall with Norman Osborn's picture on it which had a knife in it
"So what does the Shocker want with the Vibranium and why is he targeting Oscorp?" Spiderman asked as he dropped into his dad's lab seeing a scruffy haired man running around the lab "Okay who is this guy?" he asked as he jumped down and webbing his shoes to the floor "Who are you?"
"Whoa, who, chill out I'm Aaron Aikman, I worked with Dr P before he passed" the guy said
"You worked with Richard Parker?" Spiderman said surprised
"totally, I was his undergrad ten years ago, I was a year into my degree when he died" Aaron said "So you're the guy who's been using the lab huh?"
"Well me and his son Peter" Spiderman said
"Rad, so what do you want?" Aaron asked
"I need to find out how Vibranium can be used for" Spiderman said
"Armour, weaponry, energy, art whatever but judging by the amount that was stolen from Stark could be used for any of those, so I can't help you sorry" Aaron said
"It's alright Aaron, so will you be here often?" Spiderman asked
"Every now and then just to keep the place in order so you and Pete can use it to its max" Aaron smirked "Plus you can call me if you need any upgrades to the costume"
"Thanks man" Spiderman said
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CAN I HAVE YA'LL ATTENTION PLEASE" Shocker shouted
"What does that madman want now?" Harry asked as heavily armed guards showed
"What I have here is a Vibranium Bomb, it contained 7 kilograms of Vibranium and has the same yield as a kiloton of TNT! So here's what I want. I want Osborn to come out here and apologise for what he did to me and then say goodbye to his son" Shocker said
"Seriously a kiloton, how are you going to do that?" Spiderman asked as he landed on the wall nearest to Shocker
"Simple, Vibranium stores vibration energy before releasing it, and I've been storing a lot of energy in the Vibranium I stole" Shocker said
"How much energy?" Spiderman asked
"Like I said the same power as a kiloton of TNT" Shocker said "And only 5 minutes to bend to my demands"
"Oh no, CLEAR A PATH!" he shouted as he shot a web at the bomb pulling it towards him and swinging off. "I Have to get this into the sky but how?" he wondered
"Spiderman" Yuri shouted from a helicopter "GET ON!"
"You got it ma'am" Spiderman said
"What do you need?" Yuri asked
"to get this as high as you can in about 4 minutes or so" Spiderman said
"Yuri, setting autopilot, and don't worry we'll be billing Oscorp for the copter" Yuri said as she grabbed her gear and opened the door, she was about to jump out when Spiderman pulled her out and swung to safety by landing on the Oscorp building roof. Once they were on the roof Yuri tried to hold back her lunch
"How do you stand that?" Yuri asked
"Practice" Spiderman said as the pair headed inside
"Well, so much for that plan" Shocker said as he charged his gauntlet and was about to blast Harry when Spiderman jumped in behind him and kicked his feet out from under the villain before leaping away. He then webbed up the gauntlets and pulled them off
"I'll take those" Spiderman said webbing them up high enough that Shocker couldn't get at them. Scowling the insulated villain run at Spiderman who landed on the ground as the Shocker threw a punch; using his Spider-sense Spiderman avoided each one of the fists being thrown at him "I felt some wind on that last one" he chuckled
"Hold still bug" Shocker said
"I'm an arachnid" Spiderman said webbing Shocker's feet and pulling so that he landed on his back. "Around, around the Shocker goes, where he lands" Spiderman taunted before throwing him at a spider web he had set up "The spider had planned" he said dusting his hands off
"Nice work Spiderman, but now we have to wait until the web dissolves" Yuri said "This is Watanabe requesting the crash mat, spider-web this time, gonna be awhile, understood, see you then" Yuri sighed "Hey Osborn Jnr, anywhere I can get a coffee?"
"This way officer" Harry said
"Well that's my cue" Spiderman said taking off. Once he was cleared of Oscorp he looked back "So today was shocking, but I wonder what the deal with Gabe is, I may get to the bottom of it soon" he said swinging away.
G'day Guys Grizz here and that was the Shocker's origin as a engineer using Vibranium trying to destroy Oscorp while having a southern accent which is similar to the Spectacular Spiderman version of Shocker and of course we get our first mention of Oscorp which will become a recurring element in this fic leading to a certain character and I'm introducing both Liz Allen and Gabe Stacy and I will reveal Gabe's back story later because it is nothing like in the comics, trust me you don't want to know if you already don't! And trust me when it will be shocking
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
