"Okay, get lost birdie" Spiderman leaping into the air as he was being chased
'I don't think so" a man in a high tech flight suit said before using his wing to cut the webline Spiderman was using
"I'm going to pluck your feathers for that" Spiderman said as he shot another webline out and swung away, once he was out of sight he looked back "Okay WHO was that?" he asked trying to get the air back into his lungs. "Maybe SHIELD or Miss Muffett would have answers, but both of them came to me, unless I'm handling something big. I could reach them through the lab's computer, only I don't know where birdie is" he said "And speaking of Miss Muffet or whatever her name is where did she get those powers, unless she was bitten by the same spider I did; only I didn't see what kind of spider did that" he mused as he landed on the roof to his dad's lab "So that's another mystery I'll look into but for now it's time for school, which is going to be dreadful since it's an all day gym lesson; I swear next time I see either the Mayor or Captain America, I'm webbing them up!" Spiderman said changing into his street clothes "I mean, why do we need this when we already have field days" Peter moaned "Hopefully I can be the photographer"
"Peter, are you okay?" Mary Jane said as she was in her cheerleader's uniform
"It's a field day, what do you think?" Peter said
"Well, the student council took that into consideration" Mary Jane said
"Meaning" Peter said
"Here you go Pete, better get some good shots" Ben said handing him a digital camera
"This is my work camera" Peter said
"Mr Brock dropped it off before" Mary Jane said
"Oh okay" Peter said taking a picture of his friend and cousin. "I can work with that" he said smiling. Soon the day started off with a Football game between two different PE classes, Peter was on the sideline getting good shots, such as the one where Flash was knocked on his back by Ben making Peter laugh a bit, only to have Flash throw the football at the photograph which he caught the threw to Ben who nodded and dragged Flash onto his feet and patted his shoulder, Peter then travelled around to the different events like Harry and Gwen in the running races, Cindy doing the pole vault, Anya doing sit ups, Cho and Oliver laying collapsed on the race track, The Football team posing for a group photo with the cheerleaders who were all smiling
"Hey Pete, can I get a copy of that?" one of the footballers said
"Sure thing Hobie, I'll print one off for everyone" Peter said
"Don't strain yourself Peter" Ben said
"I won't" Peter said before he noticed that Liz Allan was off by herself, her caramel brown hair blowing in the slight breeze, Peter looked at Ben who saw Liz as well.
"Go on man" Ben said taking Peter's camera "I'll hold it for you"
"thanks man" Peter said
Liz was just staring at the sunlit leaves when she heard someone next to her
"Hey Liz" Peter said smiling
"Oh hey Peter, I thought you were being the photographer" Liz said
"Ben suggested I take a break" Peter said as he held out a water bottle to her
"Thanks" she said accepting it before sipping
"You feeling any better these days?" Peter asked
"Yeah I am" Liz softly smiled "Do you have your phone on you?" she asked
"Sure, why?" Peter said holding it out, only for Liz to take it and exchange numbers with him
"So I can get your number" Liz said
"Cool, I thought that you didn't need it" Peter said
"Well, I want to be friends with you" Liz said as she did something her phone "Plus I kind want to hire you" she said walking off
"What for?" Peter asked before he's phone buzzed "Oh that" he said he was looking at a photo of Liz posing in pink underwear
Up in the sky was the man in the flight suit, using a pair of large green wings to glide over Manhattan when two F-22 Raptors flew at him, smirking the man pressed a button on the wings making a beck helmet appear over his head and a pair of claws spring out from his boots.
"You think you could get rid of me that easily, once I'm done here I'll head over to Quest Aerospace and destroy them" he said as he flew past the Raptors while spinning in the air slashing the bodies of the aircraft then aiming the tips of his wings at the engines of the jest, firing out some feather like blades destroying the jets before the pilots could eject. "Rookies" he said diving hard and fast before levelling out just above street level, then elevating again to a 100 feet in altitude heading for an old clock tower. "Hard to believe that I United States Air Force Major Adrian Toomes, the Air Force Liaison to Quest Aerospace and creator of the Gravity nullification harness is now forced to use a clock tower as hideout maintenance base while those at Quest is using my tech for their crappy space walk simulator, they were supposed to be the next generation of personal flight for recon! But no they're now used by anyone who can pay for them to use it; and of course I get replaced by that perky airhead!" he raged as he disengaged his pack and walked over to a work bench and started to work on his winged harness some more so he could take down Quest Aerospace, but he also was looking at video footage of Spiderman, something that Toomes had wanted to avoid the hero, but he had majored to catch the pest's attention, only for the tables to be quickly turned on him by his flight harness. But Adrian knew that Spiderman wasn't stupid, far from it. Which is why he needed to be careful about the next step but he knew this would work
"Hey Ben" Peter asked
"what's up Pete?" Ben asked
"What does it mean when a girl send you a picture of her in her underwear?" Peter asked
"Um...what" Ben said stunned
"Are you serious Peter?" MJ asked
"No way dude" Harry said
"Yeah" Peter blushed
"It means she simply likes you" MJ said
"Or something else" Harry murmured earning a head slap from MJ "Hey!"
"Have you been sent anything like that?" Peter asked
"Once or twice" Harry admitted
"It properly something to show what she wanted to hire me for" Peter shrugged
"Hey doing a bit of freelance, nice work man" Ben said ruffling his hair
"Did you guys want to come with me to check out the new Quest Aerospace prototype suit?" Harry asked
"Why not, it will be nice to do something together" MJ said
"Harry" a man said as Harry showed "Good you could make it"
"Same here dad" Harry said
"Mr Osborn" Peter said
"Ah, Peter I'm sorry to have heard what happened to your uncle, how are you handling things?" Norman said
"We're okay sir" Peter said
"Good to hear son, now shall we check out this new prototype?" Norman asked
"Sure" Peter said as the group went over to a silver and black coloured suit "Is this it?"
"Yes it is, the next generation aerial combat suit, designed to keep our boy safe while they're defending our skies" Norman said smiling
"Too bad you'll never get to use it" a voice said as an elderly man walked out and activated the machine to wear the new suit
"Toomes" Norman said
"Good to see you Norman, still trying that useless glider tech?" Adrian asked
"What are you going to do with that?" Norman asked angered
"Oh its simple, I'm going to do this!" Adrian shouted as he deployed his wings slicing the suit in half destroying it
"Do you know how expensive that was!" Norman said
"Yes I do, as I created the original plan, but I was kicked off the project and was given a discharge. But my work was being used for trivial things so I've come to rectify that situation" Adrian said as he pressed something on his gauntlet making Peter's Spider-sense go off
"PETE!" Ben shouted shoulder charging him out of the way before a large clear wall separated him from his friends
"What's the meaning of this Adrian?" Norma shouted
"Why not kill the man who screwed me over with the project" Adrian said "And know before you die that you will be killed at the hands of the Vulture!" Vulture shouted as he aimed his wing tip at Norman Osborn and fired, only for the feather blade to be pinned to the ground
"Hey there pretty birdie" Spiderman said jumping down and landing on Vulture's shoulders and jumped off
"What are you doing here bug?" Vulture asked
"Why does everyone call me a bug, I'm clearly an arachnid" Spiderman said dodging a wing as he leapt onto a wall
"I have no time for this" Vulture said taking off
"Where are you going, we haven't had scones and tea yet" Spiderman said shooting a web onto Vulture's back being yanked out of the chamber and into the air. "I didn't think this through"
"No you didn't" Vulture said diving at the grounds, Spiderman saw the ground come up and let go of the webline and put his arms by his side
"Oh please let this work" he said pulling his arms out to reveal a pair of wings in a web design allowing him to glide to the ground and landed safely "Web Wings, don't leave home without them" he said as he got up only to dodge several bladed feathers as Vulture tried to swoop him jumping over him and firing two webs at Vulture before firing one at the ground and connect the three weblines to hold the Vulture in place before the airborne villain was flung back into the road. Vulture then stood up cut the web and fired more feathers at Spiderman, who once again dodged out of the way. Then Vulture crouched down revealing a pair of gun barrels on the back which he fired at Spiderman making chips of stone and cement flying up blinding the web themed hero. But in the confusion Spiderman placed a tracer on the harness so he could follow Vulture
Back in the clock tower Adrian was overlooking his harness and making the small repairs to it when Spiderman descended thought the roof and landed softly on the floor. Looking around he saw various amounts of stolen riches, cash and jewels littered the place, heck some of them he noticed was from one of the shops Black Cat was monitoring. Looking at Adrian who was grumbling about Spiderman's webbing
"Oh you like it here have some more" Spiderman said webbing Adrian's hand to the bench while the other reached for a screwdriver to cut the webbing then going for a knife on the wall and swung it at Spiderman
"You do know I was in the Air Force right?" Vulture asked deploying his mask
"Yeah, so you have some fight training, but I'm a super powered teenager" Spiderman said
"Meaning?" Vulture asked
"THIS!" Spiderman said rearing his leg back before swinging it forward, only to be caught messing the intended target "Wasn't expecting that" he said as Vulture threw him into the wall. The bird themed villain went over to the bench, only to be pulled away by Spiderman again, this time he used the force Spiderman pulled with to add some strength to his punch knocking the webhead back before he went over and grabbed a feather blade, swinging it wildly while Spiderman continued to dodge by flipping and ducking, once he was in range of the wall, Vulture went in for a stab only for Spiderman to move out of the way so the feather was lodged into the wall, giving Spiderman the chance to slug Vulture in the face before slamming him into the wall webbing him up and walked back and looked around
"So why go after Norman Osborn, and that suit why destroy it?" Spiderman asked
"So that no one can use my tech again, especially Oscorp" Vulture said
"Why Oscorp?" Spiderman said
"Because of that man, he worked for Oscorp and Quest Aerospace, during that the incident happened where my anti-gravity harness failed during a test and slammed the pilot into the ground hard and I was blamed for it and placed of disciplinary leave until an investigation could be done, the only problem was the investigation was rigged and it was fixed to make it seem like I did the sabotage so I was given a dishonourable discharge and my designs were seized. Osborn then took over while working with the man who framed me" Vulture said
"And I take it this man would later be blacklisted by a panel of scientists?" Spiderman asked
"Yes, he was" Vulture said
"So what does this have to do with you at Quest Aerospace?" Spiderman asked
"Wouldn't you like to know" Vulture said
"I'll find out one way or another" Spiderman said walking off
"Just know it won't end well" Vulture said
"Easy with this guy, he's got to be pushing fifty" Jefferson said
"I'm forty" Vulture snapped
"Oh then I can be a little rougher" Yuri said shoving him
"Okay, this same guy was behind Vulture and the Lizard, I wonder what other surprises this guy could have in store" Spiderman said swinging off "And if we'll meet in person"
G'day Guys Grizz here so this chapter featured Vulture as the main villain with some interesting information with the fact that someone had set him up, the same guy who set up the Lizard, also he was changed to an Air Force engineer due to teh fact well, birds fly and it felt more natural for Vulture to be linked to something air related, and there was also the high school stuff involving Liz Allan and that opens up another potential plot thread with her asking Peter to photograph her. Which may lead to something within the next five or so chapter with her
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside.
