"This is the last one." I arrive landing outside the hospital as the nurses take the last three people off me; I was able to save everyone in the coffee shop. I step inside and walk to the main room a doctor is giving orders to nurses as he looks around frantically. "Doctor. How is everyone?"
"We were able to save everyone thanks to you."
"No, they were placed in danger because of him getting to me." I said as I looked in defeat. "I could've stopped him but he poisoned everyone. Luckily my body counteracted the poison. But they were not, they got hurt. I could've stopped him but I was not able to." A hand was placed in my shoulder.
"You did the right thing, you saved everyone, and you can stop him. I know you can."
"Yeah, you might be right. But he..."
"Don't beat yourself up, you're doing good things and that counts saving everyone in that cafe. My daughter loves you she says that you're a role model. I know you fight against those kinds of people. You can catch him." He said and I perked up. "The antidote was placed; you can visit them if you want. Seeing them might cheer you up." I did perk up from that. He began walking to the different rooms. I was able to talk to everyone, they thanked me, and some even took pictures of me with them. Even the nurses took photographs with me, I felt kinda happy, and it did cheer me up.
I stopped at the entrance to see a lot of new stations already parked outside and newscasters already giving out details of what happened, as well as police officers already on the scene doing crowd control for anyone who arrives or leaves. I step out and flashes sounded around me.
"SILK!" All the reporters repeated like parrots. I saw a few officers make their way towards me. I just took a running start and jumped and swung myself to my usual place.
My comm began to announce itself in my ear. "SHIELD, Fury."
"Hey, paternal figure number one."
"What the hell happened there?"
"A guy, he has purple eyes with white spots on them, says he's smart and has his fingers in every pie. I can describe him, but I think you already know who he is." I said in a sigh.
"Yes, his name is Bryan Brown."
"Really? That's like super generic."
"Well, it might come as a surprise but he is a major part of the drug movements across the entire world he has made a lot of robberies, bombings among many other things and he set his sights on you."
"Yeah, he's enhanced, he knows things. It might be something about his intelligence; he's smarter than any other criminal."
"Did he request something from you?" I don't want to say but he knows my identity and I think I need help, no, I know I need help. Innocents almost died from being poisoned.
"Yes, he wants my tech, but he knows my identity. He knows I'm Cindy Moon. He knows who and on what I'm working on with Tony. He's not afraid to attack civilians... I'm in over my head. I've never fought anyone like this." I said as I wanted to rip my hair out.
"You might be, but you can't act as a vigilante. I tried to tell the Security Council to wait for you to not push it. But they are making a lot of pressure."
"I think it's time I take the NYPD academy and work as a liaison, making it legit, and no more running away from the cops or be in their shit list."
"Good, then you have to be there for the course after classes. You don't have to wear your costume but at least wear the mask. I'll tell them that your identity will be kept safe. But you have to deal with this guy; we didn't have information on him being enhanced. Or someone didn't give out the correct info. I'll call you later; present yourself in the police academy on Monday. I'll let everyone know; also you have to report everything you have about him to me and only me. This guy has connections everywhere and I don't like that I had no information on him being in our country. Call this number for anything related to him." He ordered.
"Thanks father figure." I said in a sarcastic voice, I swear I heard him blow air out of his nose as well as hear him smirk, he hung up after that. My comm began to ring again.
'Incoming call, Ferguson.' I touched the comm.
"Hey, Ferguson, Sup?"
"Cindy, are you going?" Oh right the party.
"Yeah. I think I won't, I have things to do... you know?"
"No, I don't girl. You literally have nothing to do."
"I do, I swear it came up last minute." I try to reason.
"O M G, do you have a date? Who is he? Is he hot?"
"What? No, you're crazy and I won't say anything."
"That's BS, you are a loner, like by nature your natural habitat is like the library. I will come to your house and drag you out if I have to." I faked gasped.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Try me, bitch." He said in a mocking and daring tone.
"I will kick you if you try; besides I have nothing to wear." I look down to my suit; I can feel the hum of energy under my suit.
"You're a girl you have at least a pair of skinny jeans and a V-neck. All girls have those."
"No, I have a regular shirt and... Fine I do have a few pairs of skinny jeans. But... before you say anything I have no right to discuss with you about my wardrobe."
"No, you already did, so get on that T-shirt and I'll get you, where do you live?" I felt a little bit of panic.
"I- uh- I."
"Fine, if you want to make it hard, I'll pick you up somewhere." I sighed in relief.
"I'll meet you outside of Stark Industries. I'm at the Starbucks around that place."
"Alright, see you in thirty." And he hung up. 'I don't want to go to that party. Jeez, I would prefer to go somewhere else like my room and play games till dawn. I lied down and looked to my side; I can see the city of New York. Always active, never sleeping, everyone here has a life, greedy lawyers, innocent kids, single parents... orphans looking to the sky waiting for someone.
'I remember these nights. Well, nights like this.' Looking to the sky, the bright stars barely twinkling from the clouds covering them due to the smog in the air. I remember in nights like this one I cried the most. I cried quietly like many of the kids, I remember as other kids in the orphanage arrived, an empty look in their eyes, angry at the world, crying in their beds for their parents who are no longer with them.
But those kids, they left with new families after a few weeks or a couple of months. They didn't stay a month, two tops. I was during the high and lows of the orphanage. It feels like I was sitting in a bed as kids came and go, while I stayed there in an infinite cycle of sadness.
It only got worse, I got kicked out, I was so depressed so sad, that no matter who I saved I felt unhappy, I was in despair of my situation. I did try to end it, and I did try it once again in the tower during those two months. Not my proudest moments I had 3 sessions a week with Doctor Curtis.
I remembered a rule I watched the other day in a movie. "Call Maria Bae." I said aloud. "Dialing." The phone rang but she didn't answer, I felt kinda let down by that. I breathed deeply. "Call again." "Dialing." The voice of JARVIS sounded in my ear. The tone sounded three times, as the fourth approached I sighed. "End-"
"Hey." Her voice sounded in my ear, I felt kinda flustered and giddy from her voice.
"Hi." We fell into an awkward silence.
"So... why are you calling?"
"Oh, right, well... you told me you were not going to make it here right?"
"Yeah, sorry about that, its just work. You know. But! I do have the next weekend free. So we can go and do something."
"That would be great..." I felt my face heat up from how her tone shifted towards me.
"I... I heard what happened, are you okay?" She asked with a tone of worry.
"Yes, I'm just-"
"Let me stop you right there, Cindy, baby, it's not your fault. That man, it was his fault." She reassured me but I feel guilty.
"It's just-"
"It's just nothing. He was the one who poisoned an entire coffee shop, you saved them. It's not your fault. Come on baby, tell me what's wrong."
"I-... thank you." I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. "It's just I'm remembering all those nights." I sigh, I feel emotional, I feel like everything is bothering me,
even the smallest details.
"Oh, hey, do you want to skype and watch a movie... or you know that TV show, we were watching?" She proposed.
"Well, I think I would like that but, I just... I can hear that you're tired. I think you would prefer to sleep, I was invited to a party, since we won the game yesterday."
"I think it's a good idea to get some friends." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"You make it sound like I'm antisocial."
"Baby, you are a loner." I can hear her smirking.
"Am not!" I answered immediately a childish of me, I pouted as she began laughing.
"Go to the party, I promise I'll be there next weekend. We can go to the movies and watch that movie that you wanted to see. The... exportables 2?"
"The expendables 2, thanks. Fine, I'll go to the party."
"Also no kissing other girls... or guys."
"Please, if we have been dating for a month and we only kissed three times."
"Oh, Baby and one day when we go to watch a movie, we won't watch it." I felt my face heat up as her tone became sultry that makes my stomach turn.
"Sh-shut up." I look at the time. I have a few minutes to get to Stark Industries I stand up and decide to fall from the skyscaper. I kept falling enjoying the freefall for a few seconds and feel the familiar tingling.
"Are you swinging?" She asked me as I recovered at the last seconds and began swinging only above street level; I can see the face of a kid that is looking out the window. I swing at the same speed as the car and wave at the kid who brightened up considerably looking bored out of his mind to excited and pointing at me. I laugh as I keep going.
"Yeah, I am. I have to get to Stark industries where I will get my ride."
"Ride? Is Stark's bodyguard taking you there?"
"Someone else, he's from the Rugby Team."
"A jock?"
"Is that jealousy I hear?"
"No, you're hearing things; maybe you should stop playing so many videogames." I swing upwards doing a flip and using a traffic light to swing forward and a backflip and into a bus as a spring board for me to go forward. I laugh loudly as I throw a line forward and pull myself to the next avenue. People in the sidewalk look at me with smiles on their faces as I laugh loudly.
"YEAH, SILK!" I hear I guy say aloud and a few other people cheer loudly. I backflip as I finish the swing and wave at them which made them cheer louder.
"Yeah that confirms it."
"Sorry." I land near a building of Stark Industries where I have a hidden stash of clothes for me to change into. I lower the scarf and turn off my suit and web shooters as well as repulsors. My suit shrinks down to an underwear shirt and a pair of short shorts.
"Hey, you still there?" I look for the stash of clothes that is in a backpack under a turbine.
"Yeah. Are you done swinging around?"
"Yes, so tell me about your day?"
"Well, we got a situation on LA where a guy began destroying a store and an apartment building."
"Is he enhanced?"
"It looks that way. But I cannot give any more details. What about you? I saw the game by the way. Did you really have to punch that guy." I climb into my jeans that are too tight.
"Stupid jeans come on!" I begin to jump trying for this jeans.
"Are you getting dressed?"
"Yeah... I am and currently fighting."
"You really did hid stashes of clothes in the city?"
"Yeah, now that I have money I can have this for emergencies." I get my shirt and finished getting dressed. "Give me a sec." I jump to the alley it's about six stories tall.
"Alright." She answers and I jump down from wall to wall, into the fire escape, into the lower floor and a straight backflip into the ground and to the street level. "Stupid skinny jeans." I grumble since it didn't let me do a backflip correctly, I take off my comm and put my phone in my ear, and lower my mask to now act like a scarf I cross the street and stand at the familiar working place.
"You better have fun, and don't drink too much."
"Please, its not like I can get drunk."
"Well you might be a lightweight."
"I'm not a lightweight; I actually have never drinked alcohol." A white BMW stops in front of me and I can see Ferguson looking at me as he pulls the window down.
"Hey Cindy." He said as he parks.
"My ride is here, I'll talk to you later bae." I say to Maria who only lets out a small giggle.
"Alright, be careful. I miss you, we talk tomorrow." She said as I get in the car.
"I... uh, I miss you too. Sure, I'll call you." I hang up and turn to Ferguson who has a smirk in his face.
"Wipe that smirk off your face."
"Come on, who was that. I-uh, miss you too." He teased and I felt my face heat up.
"I'll punch you." He began driving.
"Please don't, your punches hurt."
"Damn right they do." I said with a light smirk as we make our way there. As we reach an intersection I feel something out of the corner of my eye moving into something
familiar. A man in a black suit, but he looks out of place, he's looking at me with what I can say is recognition. 'What the?'
I look behind me to see another pair of guys in the car behind us, we're about to make a left. "Drive."
"Cindy? It's a red light." The men in the car behind us seem to move as well as the ones in the SUV on our right they are moving to pull something from their sides.
"Drive."
"What? Cindy I can't I-"
"DRIVE!" I yell out and lucky for us no one is crossing the avenue and he begins to drive. "GO TO THE LEFT!" I yell out as the two cars begin to chase us.
"CINDY WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" I hear the car van pulling up, but as I'm about to answer the familiar sound of a gunshot sounds in our ears and into the metal of the car.
"AAHHH WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT US?!" I jump to look back.
"Keep, driving, and stay calm!" I order as I turn on my arc reactors and web shooters, the familiar click sounds in my ears as they finish loading up.
"Cindy what the hell is that? Why do you have that? Why are they?" Another shot which broke the back windshield which in turn made Ferguson scream out again.
"Stay here and keep driving!" I yell out as I pull up my scarf and activate my suit which just clings to my skin I rip my jeans to get more movement and climb out after breaking the window and I'm on top of the car and shoot a blast at the tires before any gunshot goes off.
The front tire blows up and the car flips violently onto the street. But the car is still beside us. I jump off the car and land in the other a few gunshots rang out but I was able to dodge the bullets. I shot the one in the back seat firing at me, he got a repulsor blast to the chest and knocked him out and he slumped to his seat.
I punch through the windshield and remove it with my hands and fire web the copilot leaving his face webbed to the headrest. Throwing the windshield to the street, I jump as hard as I can; I feel the engine and something getting crushed.
I swing myself from a street light and into the top of the same car which is now smoking from the engine. I look down the road to see Fergusons car in the distance. 'Good, he's safe.'
I land as the car crashes into another lamppost walking towards the car. I can see the guy landing in the ground and coughing. I walk to the other side and pull out both doors and get the other two out of the car and into a safe distance and web them up.
The other guy seems to start getting up. But I don't give him the chance and place a foot on his side and push him down, he groans as he collided into the road.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"We- we're sent to get you. They told us that we had to scare you, we we're given the... vehicles and... the weapons." He breathed heavily. 'Fuck!' "Jarvis call an ambulance get them to get here.
"Who told you? Was it Brown?"
"Y-ye-yes."
"Where is he?"
"I-I don't know, he said that you had twenty four hours. To give him the tech." He passed out. I walked to him and looked to see a flip phone sticking out of his pocket. It began to ring. I looked over to see the name, but it's saved as brown.
"What? Why come after me, so soon?"
"Well, I know you have a party tonight. A shame, though so many young lives that will be lost." Shit, no way this guy.
"Don't you dare you son of a bitch."
"Why would I? Oh right, YOU are at fault here. Give me the repulsor technology and I will stop. But if anyone dies it's on you." He said as he chuckled.
"I will stop you."
"Oh, my dear Cindy. What would your mother say? Oh, wait you don't know, she abandoned you at the doors of a fire department. No avenger can help you solve this; they're all out of town, and last but not least. That dear intelligence agency is too corrupted to work properly to stop me."
"How-"
"How did I know? Well, I just hacked into a Doctor Curtis laptop and there I go. Found enough to give out everything you have said and notes regarding your mental health which is to my surprise... quite... fragile."
"Better hurry up Cinderella. Meet me in that warehouse tomorrow and bring the tech." He hung up.
"FUCK YOU! I WILL STOP YOU!" I yelled out as I threw the phone to the ground and as the battery came out of the phone a piece of paper as well. '4:00 pm. Tomorrow.' I threw it to the ground and shot both.
"Umm... Cindy... Silk? What do I call you?" Ferguson came to me.
"Ferguson... I can explain..."
"That you're a superhero... OMG! I am best friends with a superhero!" He squealed. "I can't believe it!"
"Wait best friends? Never mind that." Snapping my fingers in front of his face. "Ferguson Focus." He nodded eagerly. "Jarvis, get me my case!"
"Of course. E T A one minute."
"Ferguson you need to make sure everyone in that party, leaves it. There is a bomb there."
"How do you know?" He looked at me weirdly.
"He said that there is a big surprise he also said instant meaning there is a bomb. I don't want lives to be lost." He pulled out his phone and placed it in speaker.
"Hello?" I recognized the voice. "Hey Ferguson where they fuck are you? Are you on the way? Is Cindy with you? Did she realized that she loves me?"
"Hey man. I need you to listen carefully."
"Sure thing bro, we're just getting the party started!" A loud cheer sounded at his words.
"I need everyone to leave the house you're at. It's dangerous!"
"What? why?"
"There is a bomb there you have to get out!"
"Yeah man the bomb is the party!"
"He's too drunk to listen." Ferguson turned to me.
"Give me then phone." Extending the arm I made sure I still have my voice modifier.
"Hey Stevens remember me? Remember this voice?" I hope he remembers. He's a fan so he should know.
"Woah you sound just like silk. The woman of my dreams." I thought of something quickly.
"Yeah that's me and I'm throwing a party. I have an entire floor in Avengers Tower. Floor 78. Come on over and bring everyone."
"No way, Ferguson that's cheap of you. You're just messing with me."
"Okay. Give me a sec and I'll call you back with proof. One minute." He hung up.
"They won't believe us Cin, what do we do?"
"Take video of me." I said in confidence he pointed his phone at me and motioned for me.
"Alright it's recording."
"Hey guys! Silk here, I heard there was a party on uptown. So I thought, hey that sounds awesome but what if instead of a boring house. How about I throw the best party ever! Come over to Avengers Tower! Floor 78! It's open for everyone." I jumped and threw a line jumping out of the camera angle.
"Okay. Done! You can come back now!"
"Send it to Stevens and I'll go get the bomb and everyone to safety. You get to the tower, register yourself. Only people from 24 to 18 can come."
"Why 24?"
"Because I opened an invitation to everyone that sees that video. I'm in such deep shit right now with a criminal and I need you to focus. Make sure no one goes into my room, gym or gaming room. Jarvis block every other level except for mine for guests."
"Understood and sent." The familiar clang of an armor landed beside us.
"Whoa is that Iron Man?"
"No, just an empty armor. Thanks heartbreaker." A briefcase was handed to me. I opened it by using my fingerprint and it opened for my project. The armor flew away.
"Is that?"
"Yes. Jarvis activate Iron Silk." The gauntlets came my way and attached to my hands, followed by boots then extended over to my thighs. The gauntlets expanded to my shoulders and into a chest plate that covers down to my back, inspired by a light armor. This just improves my defense effectively making me bullet proof.
I grabbed the last piece, a pair of goggles that help me make trajectories in swings and other things.
"Take this and make sure that they stay in my floor. Go to the tower and please take care of this. I promise you that I'll do anything after this."
"Anything?"
"Nothing sexual or I'll..."
"No no no. I want to meet Captain America."
"Really? I mean... I can do... kid parties."
"NO! Just give me a lunch with him or something." That sounded not manly at all, which made me realize his mannerisms.
"Wait... are you... no it doesn't matter right now. Get to the tower! Order booze and other stuff! Go! Here's my debit card." He began running to his car. Wait the address I turned around to see Ferguson with a knowing smirk.
"You don't know the address do you? Prospect heights, 286, Park place "
"Thank you." I began running, the armor is pulling me a little down but I jumped and the boosters began to help my speed. I swung low enough to grab momentum and just as I began to ascend my boosters and repulsors worked as a boost that sent me almost flying through the air. My HUD told me how to move and at what angle I had to ascend. In minutes I was crossing over to Brooklyn from Manhattan. It also helped in making turns and makes it so I'm faster on routes. I look to my clock 11:40.
I arrived to the address in record time. 'The bomb should go off in twenty. Enough to get everyone out.'
There were some standing outside and already some were leaving. "Hey! Are you Silk?" I think that is the guy I broke his nose. I remember as well as his nose is in a cast.
Walking into the house which reeks of alcohol and weed. Once I reached the mic where the music was coming from.
"Hello everyone! I need you all to leave this house. There is a threat for a bomb." But they ignored me as the music kept playing.
"Oh shit. It's you Silk! Have you come to declare your love to me?" Ferguson recognized me.
"No, but I was told there was a party here and a friend told me about it. Check the video he sent." He watched it and placed the speaker next to his ear.
"Is this for real?!"
"Yeah, come on you're all invited!" He grabbed the microphone and turned off the music making everyone boo.
"Shut up! Hey guys! We're going to Avengers tower to PARTY! COME ON!" As Stevens yelled out it seemed to spark as everyone began to follow him and leave the house. In a
minute everyone was gone except for a few stragglers. I motioned for a couple to leave as they were getting busy in the couch.
"Hey come on! GET a room." They nodded and left. I made my way to the kitchen.
"Jarvis scan for life signatures."
"There are three couples... getting busy upstairs."
"Didn't they hear about the bomb?" I said aloud but the house phone began to ring. 'No way.'
"Hello?"
"I can see that you're there the new armor is cool. Add it to what I want."
"I won't give it to you!"
"Oh dear Cindy. You will. You see there was a bomb supposed to go off at midnight. But since you got there early. Try to save everyone." He hung up and an explosion sounded beneath me I looked down to see an X on the ground. I jumped and with the booster made it so that I reach the far end of the hall. The place I landed before exploded sending debris everywhere I landed beside a table with a candle that looks too white I grabbed it and threw it outside to the backyard. I sighed in relief.
But a pinging noise brought my attention to my left. A small candle with a small device began ringing. My silk sense warned me last second, jumped to the roof and stuck myself there my armor taking a bit of damage. But A lamp beside me pinged and in panic let go and landed on the ground. The wall blew up, creating an explosion of fire. My senses warned me again and I threw a line to pull me towards the stairs. I landed in a heap and ended up rolling as another explosion under me sent a shockwave as I was swinging away.
"Fuck." I said as I felt a burn on my shoulders. I stood up slowly, my senses blared again.
"Good luck getting out of there sounded in the speakers." I jumped towards the second floor to save the remaining couples. I barged in to see a blonde girl and a black haired guy scared out of their minds. An explosion sounded where I previously was.
"You two, come." I shot a repulsor blast to the wall a few times in a circle and punched the wall. It came off. I fired a web line to a nearby tree. "You two get over here!" They grabbed onto me and I jumped out onto the yard while both of them screamed in my ears.
I dropped them in the ground and using my thrusters I got back.
"Jarvis, where to next?"
"Upper floor master bedroom. They seem to have moved to the roof, the other couple is stuck in a closet on the second floor.
"Thanks. Okay, first the closet." I jumped to the same hole and ran at the far end of the house as another explosion came my way. I jumped to the wall and stuck myself there as I ran eventually I reached the room and without a doubt grabbed them both and threw myself first against the wall and burst through I caught myself and them making them land safely in the ground.
Turning my head to the roof and throwing a line up making it short as possible and pulled as it reached the limit the line became tense and letting it go shot me up. I landed on the roof to see the couple looking around in panic to save themselves they look ready to jump. Another explosion came my way but I pushed through, my armor covering me from the explosion as the roof gave out.
I tackled them both and grabbed them as they almost fell to the fiery hell that was a house, I twisted my body as I made my thrusters slow down my fall but we ended up face first into the dirt, with two barely dressed 21 year old's. I got them off as I sighed and stood up.
"Is that everyone?" I asked aloud.
"No life signatures detected." I sigh in relief as no one got hurt. The house blew up and in that instant my transmitter began to ping.
"Hey Fury." I said in a huff. "I have a problem?"
"I? You mean everyone."
"So you heard?"
"Yes, everyone heard." I jump and used my boosters to fly a short distance since they aren't really built for long distance flight I can only use them a bit. Flying is great, but I
prefer swinging it's more fun.
"He's going to have leave the country now. Shield will monitor every single airport in NYC and states that surround it. He's an international terrorist and he made an attempt against a senator in his own house." I should say something; I know what he does and why he does it... But I can stop him and I know how.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Lay low, he is targeting you and if you haven't noticed I care for your safety. So get to the tower and clean your mess."
"Wait..." realization dawned on me. "OH FUCK."
"That's the appropriate reaction." He said as he finished the call, I make my way to the tower. I arrive via my balcony which is now being used as a make out place as well as
smoking. I landed gracefully right in the empty place where I had space.
"HEY IT'S SILK!" I heard a random guy yell out and everyone turned to me.
"YEAH!" Everyone cheered as I just waved and walked past everyone. First to my cave to see if anyone was there which to my surprise is locked from the inside.
"Jarvis unlock the door please." The lock clicked and I opened it to see if anyone was here. This place is almost holy for and behold two geeks making out. A brunette with glasses that have been discarded in the ground and a guy with brackets and square glasses and a stuble.I sighed.
"OUT! This place is off limits!" Both scrambled to pick up clothes.
"Oh shit its silk. I can't believe she has this many games. Can I add you?" The girl asked me but I'm too pissed off.
"Jesus Christ, OUT!" Both scrambled and ran into the hallway receiving jeers. I checked to see if anything was touched it irked me that there are finger marks on my glass
cases that held my games. But nothing seemed out of place.
Walking out my sanctuary or as Maria calls it My Cave. Heh heh heh, that reminds me of how I laughed at the double meaning. I barged into my room which was unlocked; and again another couple hooking up in my bed. "Oh come on! Not my bed! Out NOW!"I signaled the door and both left I left with them, I checked every room I had even the guest room and it had a couple making out about to get it on since they were barely dressed.
The last couple was so gross, under much different circumstances I would have done other stuff but they were doing it in the bathroom that was on my room. I missed them the first time since the music is loud and the entire sound of cheering and talking.
I looked for Ferguson for five minutes until I opened the closet that is beside the regular use bathroom and saw him making out with a random guy. He first seemed shocked at being caught, I stood there like a deer in the headlights, slowly I reacted and caught myself from seeing him making out since they both were still full on making out.
"Not going to ask. But it makes sense with you and how every single room has a couple hooking up except my... gym. Also I didn't know you swung that way I had a light suspicion." He tried to explain himself but I was out of earshot and the noise made it harder to understand him.
I walked into my gym to see a couple of jocks trying to lift. "Shows over. Get out!" I said as other girls were here as well, spectating the shirtless guys work out.
"I can totally lift this." He motioned to a dumbbell which had the one hundred pounds. He said as he grabbed it and began as if working out. "Impressed? With a deadpan look
I met his eyes which were wiggling his eyebrows.
"That is the lightest one there is." I said as I motioned for the ones at the end of the room.
"Uh what?" He couldn't answer.
"Yeah. That one is around a hundred pounds." I pointed at the ones already set up in the other machines. "Those set up at half a ton each."
"Bullshit. I don't believe you can lift this. You're a girl!" He said in the most jackass way possible.
"This is my personal gym, after all."
"So?" I sighed and grabbed the bar that has a total of two tons as if it was weightless. He looked wide eyed at me.
"Get out of here. Everyone. You will get hurt if you stay here." I said but it dawned on me. I don't know these people, they're not from NYU.
"Hey! Which college are you from?"
"Community college."
"Wait I thought..."
"You sent out an invitation to everyone." It dawned on me, I made an open invitation. "Jarvis, no more guests can enter. Only leave." I heard even more cheers.
"Oh, fuck me."
"I volunteer as tribute for that." A guy said he was also a jock.
"Me too!" A girl added everyone looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Out! Party is over." They groaned as they left the gym by me pushing them out, before I left I looked around to see everything in order. I stepped out and my comm began to ping..
"Miss Moon you might want to start to work on that project." Jarvis reminded me. Damn it. He's Right, stepping into the hallway and making sure all rooms are locked except for two bathrooms. I heard a loud crash and ran to the main room what sounded like a vase breaking. The sound of silence filled the room as everyone heard the crash. I felt anger in me as I saw.
My precious Mr. Bunny sitting atop a beer keg and had a pink bra atop his head. His suit is stained by booze and what looks like... buffalo sauce.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I jumped and got Mr. Bunny in a show of gymnastics. I did see the remains of a window as well as the air current going on in the room. I shot a blast at my own radio shutting down the music.
In that second the elevator opened as a few other typical frat boys had beers and another keg of beer. Stevens among them holding 2 bottles of something fancy that Tony drinks. Cheering aloud.
"Guess who got more booze..." he stopped as he saw everyone not cheer along.
"Out!" Everyone took a step back.
"But... come on the party just began."
My comm began to ping once again reminding me to start working. "F... my life." I sighed as I activated a protocol for Window repair using my suit and walked into the elevator moving everyone out of my way.
"You're in charge along with Ferguson. Make sure nothing else gets destroyed." I said as I walked into the elevator.
"Also I will find whoever did this to mister bunny. I will make them regret it." I saw a girl flinch as I threw off the underwear off him. At least he is unharmed the drones arrive and begin placing the new window.
"Make sure no one enters the rooms and nothing breaks. Or you will pay for it, monetarily. Of course." I stepped foot into my lab as it powered up and my project was provided to me in my hologram table.
"Jarvis, I need you to give estimation on percentage to work. As it currently is."
"According to the muon particle solidification percentage for the materials to work correctly is of a three point five percent."
"If I were to work with it. How much energy it would need to stabilize?"
"That would depend on the amount of energy the material could handle. We would need a new material to handle that much energy."
"Alright then." I got to work, making a way for the shield to work... or maybe not work... How do I beat you Brown? I don't get it. What does he do? How did he know when I was going to show up? I mean there weren't any news about people getting poisoned or killed in broad daylight... but how did he know? I need to back up, I'm getting overburdened by this.
"Let's start from the beginning. I got kidnapped without them knowing who I was... no, they did know who I was... but how?" I began pondering on the previous months. I actually got promoted because Tony decided to come to my department.
"Jarvis, pull up records about who I worked with in the Tech Support department. Give me everyone who was in the room with me during the talk I did with Tony, the day I got transferred." The screen got filled with names and pictures, I even saw my own. 'God do I look like crap.' I moved to save that picture.
"Alright so only sixteen were in the group. Take out the ones in the list that no longer work here as of 3 weeks." Everyone around eighteen was removed which were twelve of the sixteen. Leaving only a 32 year old guy, a 65 year old woman, a 28 year old college dropout, another 18 year old and finally fucking Jerome.
"Give me any track records about relations to Brown." No results came, only a streaking record from the seventies... that woman had fun while she was young. That's the only information about criminal activity in those four.
'Who? Has connection to him... wait.'
"Jay, who knows about my transfer over to the Iron project? Bring me the transfer papers." I looked at the screen waiting for the document, in seconds the papers was displayed. It details my transfer from the tech support department to the iron project. I kept reading the form, until I saw who had to sign as a supervisor. "Fucking Jerome..."
"Give me the record of Jerome." Lo and behold, this creep has quite the record, drug dealer, a restriction order with his ex. He can't go near her for less than 50 feet from her. Jesus Christ, he has connections to drug dealers, his record just screams out CREEP in capital letters.
"He might have something. Jarvis, bring out his social media, anything that might relate him to Brown." His tweeter feed comes up. 'How I wish Silk could just step on me,
I'm sure her feet are lovely.' Oh no. I read a few more tweets. 'No matter how much I think about you, I just want you to kiss your feet and have them in my mouth.' I swear I feel like I am about to puke. This is gross. I scrolled down a bit and a picture of me in my free hour came through, I was eating and reading on my phone. The only thing I could see was the emoji with heart eyes.
I saw a bit more and got even more creeped out, he has more pictures about me, and they were taken without me noticing. All of them had the heart emoji; there is also quite a few detailing how Tony Stark is an asshole. "Jarvis, give me something related to Brown or Silk." This brought me more results.
'I may have her! I just have to do a thing and I WILL HAVE HER! He promised me.' Okay, he's a stalker and I'm officially grossed out, but he has a picture of Silk. 'He did something. Because when they kidnapped me they knew I worked with Tony on this project. Which means he ratted me out. He knows something about Brown.'
"Jarvis, if you can. Can you tell me where Jerome is?"
"I can. Beginning sweep." JARVIS said as he began searching.
That brings me to the next problem. Brown. How can he know about what I would and wouldn't do? He called me out with the bluff in the house, the coffee shop. He knew I would let him get away. My identity, I can't let him tell it to the world. My anonymity is what I like, I can stay under the radar. I think I can have a normal life. A normal school life, where I can get preoccupied for who dates who. Go to a party, embrace what its like to be a girl. I think I can do that, but for that I can't want to be a celebrity.
Silk can be a celebrity, while Cindy Moon blends in the background, to have normal friends, relationships and eventually a family. But I'm thinking too far ahead. Cindy Moon has to stay anonymous, no need for her to become someone who will be followed everywhere.
"How did he know about where I would land? The coffee, he knew how I liked my coffee. It took me years to find the right blend for a Starbucks that was worth it." I don't think that even a probability that I would've had any other... probability.
"Jarvis, pull up my pictures and scan for what I told you before." I heard the ping about finding Jerome but right now I don't care.
"Certainly." I can see what he meant. Yes, but they are really have the clues. He knew I wouldn't know about them, he knew I wouldn't meet him there, until it was too obvious, and none of the places he mentioned has any recent news such as massive poisoning. The coffee shop was the one with the most probability for a meeting.
He knows my moves, he knows how I move from the explosions blowing up in that sequence. My eyes widen in realization. He knew where I would jump when the bombs began detonating, but he didn't account for the speed of my armor because I got out of there with everyone unharmed. He doesn't really control the outcome or knows what would happen. He just knows the probability and what I'm most likely to do.
"Which means he knew I would save everyone. He knows if anything I give him work or don't. But what if, I give him something that kinda works. Jarvis, pull up the shield, and start production."
"Miss Moon, I strongly advice against making this product. It is still unfinished. The new electrical output only has a five percent of working."
"Do it. Produce only three. Also make two gauntlets like mine. Give those two priority."
"Understood." I nodded in compliance as the production began. I have to go to SI tomorrow and pick them up.
"Tell me where is Jerome?"
"He is currently at the party you're throwing."
"WHAT?"
"Yes, he is precisely in the wardrobe in your room. My sensors indicate a high blood pressure." Oh god, please don't be doing what I think he is doing.
"Call Stevens, he's enough of a muscle head to get the scrawny ass of that creep."
"Dialing." Not even a second later he answered.
"Sup Cindy, just saying right now we could totally do it in the avengers tower. Also if this is a booty call, I'm up for it."
"This is not Cindy."
"OH SHIT! SILK! I am so sorry about that. BUT if this is a b-"
"Please, not right now. I'm trying to stop a terrorist. But I need a favor."
"I can do anything for you!" I can almost hear him saluting with a bottle in his hand as I heard a groan which means he hit himself with the bottle.
"You okay? I heard that from over here?"
"Yeah, totally okay, don't worry about me."
"I need you to go to my room and get someone out of there."
"Sure thing, only its closed." I motioned for JARVIS to open the door.
"Now it isn't."
"Cool." I heard the door open. "So I am stepping into your room, funny your shirts look a lot like the ones my friend wears." I couldn't help but giggle.
"Really? How is she?"
"She's amazing, like the toughest girl anyone would ever meet. She's sweet, caring, attentive and has a really mean right swing. She's also really pretty."
"Weren't you saying you wanted to hook up with her because you thought this was a booty call?"
"Well yeah, but I think she's shy. You know, she's also hot. But I respect her boundaries; she thinks I'm an idiot... which I am. But I would like to take things slow with her. If,
she gave me a chance I would support her for everything, she lacks confidence and I know if we worked together she would become a force to be reckoned. Like she can fix her broken nose with her bare hands and keep going like she doesn't care..." He sighed deeply; I feel my face heat up at his compliments. "It doesn't matter, she doesn't take me seriously... but I think I've spent too much time pouring out my heart to you. You know I'm single, we could totally be a couple."
"Yeah, I'm not interested in a partner, mainly because I already have one."
"Wait what?"
"Yeah, but can we get back on topic." That snapped him out of the conversation.
"Oh, right! Sorry." He moved towards the closet and opened the doors from the creaking I could hear them open. "Oh come on man!" I could hear how grossed out he is. "So I found the guy. But you're not going to like what he's doing."
"Please tell me he didn't do what I think he did?"
"Yeah." He made the A longer. "I hope you can buy more underwear. COME ON MAN PUT YOUR PANTS ON! JUST STOP! THAT'S GROSS!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" I heard a moan at the other end.
"I'm going to vomit."
"What is this smell? Oh fuck. That's not right."
"Can you do me a favor and take him outside."
"I really don't want to touch him."
"Who are you? What are you doing in my goddesses room!"
"That's it! Jarvis call security to my floor and to my room."
"Security was dispatched three minutes ago."
"Thank you. Hey Stevens, please stay there and keep the creep from doing anything gross to my clothes."
"Yes mam."
"Are you talking to my goddess?"
"I am talking to Silk. Yes?"
"My love, I am here and have given my love to your clothes."
"Dude stop talking. Oh good they're here." I heard boots step in the carpet floor.
"What are you doing to me? Let me go! I belong here." I heard struggle as they pulled him.
"Thanks for catching that guy."
"Yeah, no problem. Its not every day I help out a superhero. Also I suggest you don't wear any of your underwear... that are on the floor. Man this place looks like a ghost came through here." He stopped and chuckled Heh heh heh." He chuckled at his pun.
"I don't find it funny. But thanks I owe you one."
"Wait what?"
"Yeah, only nothing sexual or you will end up hanging from the Brooklyn bridge."
"SURE THING! But how do I contact you?"
"Call this number and ask her to put you in contact with me."
"Awesome. Also this party got wild, like you wouldn't believe!" With that he hung up.
"I am so getting grounded for this. Wait, why would I get grounded I'm eighteen? Jarvis where are they taking Jerome?"
"He's been taken to the entrance where he will be handed to the authorities. Also security is sending a direct request for you to press charges."
"On my way, I have to interrogate him. He gave company secrets and has a connection to Brown. Tell them to hold him there until I am there. Also I need someone to grab those clothes and clean them with something that makes them not smell. Like the best dry cleaning in NYC, I want those clothes clean and sterilized from that guy's jizz. The cost doesn't matter."
"Understood, would you like the room to be cleaned an sterilized?"
"Yes, my entire room, bathroom, closet, everything. Schedule it as soon as possible."
"Very well." I began walking to the elevator. I now need to know if he knows something about Brown. I arrive into the lower floor and with security.
"Miss Silk. We found this guy in your wardrobe."
"Yes, I know. I also know I have to burn stuff. Do me a favor and call the police here."
"Already on their way." I nodded
"I need to speak with him." He just stepped out of the way and I can see Jerome handcuffed to a chair.
"You."
"M-me. He-he-hello my goddess." He looks almost pleading, I also know that he is obsessed and highly creepy.
"You see I have problems and I currently have a problem with someone."
"Ye-yes-yes?"
"Do you know who I am underneath this mask?"
"N-no." 'That's good.'
"I have seen the records that you. Have met Brown, he's a terrorist after me and after other types of things." He smirked as if he had power.
"What if I did?"
"Then you would stop an international terrorist."
"Pff, as if that would do something to me. On the other hand I can tell you everything if you do something for me." He leaned in towards me.
"And what would that be?"
"I want a kiss from you, my goddess."
"You think I would kiss you?"
"Well Yes, only that and you will have everything I know." He smirked and giggled. I just decided to do the bully thing and grabbed him by the shirt of his neck and lift him.
"Look here creep, I have investigated on the kidnapping of Cindy Moon, which was made by brown. But she was kidnapped because she was transferred to an important project; and guess who can access those transfer documents?" He began to grow nervous. "You see, I am not the law, the cops and the system are. You helped a terrorist kidnap an innocent girl, you stalked said girl and you also gave information of a document regarded as company secrets. That's what eight maybe ten years in jail for what do they call it? Company espionage?"
"He made me!" He blurted out.
"But I have something about you, I have a tweet of you claiming that someone will be yours. I think the judge will like hearing about a stalker, who jizzed my entire clothes, who also helped a terrorist on kidnapping someone; then claim that he has someone that he owns. Isn't that human trade? That's another fifteen."
"Please?"
"SHUT UP! Now tell me everything you know." I demanded as I lifted him higher.
"Fine! Please just let the police know I helped I don't want to go to jail!"
"Go on." I said as I dropped him in the chair. He fell on his ass as the chair broke.
"He has an airplane. He said that Cindy Moon would be mine by tomorrow, that anything I said would be an order to her and she would obey. He also is leaving the US."
"How is he leaving the US?"
"He has a way; he said something in another language." I took a step back as a police officer came in. 'The JFK. He's going somewhere else. Smart of him that's why he wants to meet in the evening.'
"We were told about an assault. Silk an honor to meet you, most cops think you're bad since you work hard at stopping crime but I don't. I'm an avid fan. Also I currently have no jurisdiction here to arrest you since this is an official world security building. Now what's the issue?"
"Thank you it's not every day I hear that, Also I found this guy in my wardrobe jacking off on my clothes. I also found that he has been aiding my pain in the butt Brown. He helped in the kidnapping of a young girl, and also divulged stark industries secrets to Brown."
"Those are severe charges, do you have evidence?"
"About his gross thing, it's all over my clothes. But the rest I can have them delivered. Also by any chance do you know how to place a restraining order on Someone?"
"Yes, I have. A brother of mine can help with the case against him. Also do me a favor and stop Brown I know you can." He smiled as he took Jerome with cuffs. 'Wait he might know I have Jerome. Let's try to see if I'm right. I have to do something so unexpected.'
"Excuse me; I didn't get your name officer. I would like to know it. As well as your partner. Know a little bit more about the ones in the force." That made him stop at the door. He turned around and motioned with his hands to signal for his partner to come.
"Sorry about that. My name is Erik, and this is my partner Cynthia." He motioned for her to approach me.
"Oh my god. I can't believe I'm meeting you! You are awesome, a symbol for girl power! I know black widow is also one but you! You are my little sister's favorite hero. Can I have a picture and maybe an autograph?" I smiled.
"Sure thing." The policewoman stood beside me and handed her phone to his partner who also had Jerome. "Take picture please. I'll owe you one." She's too stiff almost like a plank. So I threw my arm around her. She relaxed and smiled as well as threw her arm around my shoulder. This is something I never do much less with cops but if I'm right then I can win and stop him.
"Say cheese."
"Cheese!" We both said as the picture was taken. He delivered the phone to officer Cynthia I heard a phone ring and not a second later their car went up in a fire ball.
"What?!"
"I'm correct!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
"What do you mean? Did you do this?"
"No, but Brown did."
"How? Do you know that?"
"He's enhanced and I was able to tell what his ability does. He knows probability."
"By that you mean?"
"He knew your car would be the closest one to the tower to pick up this loose end."
"Which means?"
"I saved you by doing this. He would've killed you there if I didn't stop you to talk. Something I never do. More so now."
"Which means?"
"He's even more dangerous now."
"You know his ability and you can stop him now." Officer Erik said as I got almost tackled in a hug by Officer Cynthia.
"Thank you so much. You saved my life. I can never repay you this. Thank you!" I awkwardly tap her shoulders as I try to hug her.
"It's okay. Now I recommend you get backup or something. For this guy." She let me go while cleaning some tears from her cheeks. She's clearly affected by what almost happened.
"Be more careful, I will wait for others to arrive. Also make sure it doesn't have a bomb." They nodded and began requesting backup. A few minutes later more police cars arrived and they went their way with Jerome in a seat containment truck.
I decided that I can't deal with this shit today. Walking into the elevator too overwhelmed from today. I reach my floor and see a quite a few people passed out.
A few girls clearly too drunk, one even passed lying on my couch. And she has no clothes on. Surprisingly I expected more people to be here. I look at my phone to see a few calls and that it's 3 am.
"Well... fuck." I was about to go yo bed but looking around, some are still drinking. Others are passed out and I think I saw a guy and a girl crying.
I opened the door to my cave to my relief it was locked. I looked at the sofa and crashed there.
"Jarvis, wake me up at 8 am. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow."
"Silk a pleasure as always." I landed on the warehouse and received the voice of Brown as I landed on the warehouse with suitcase in hand the armor I left it hidden for me to pursuit him if he gets away.
"Can't say the same." I replied with venom in my words.
"Oh? And I thought we were friends." He almost laughed.
"I brought what you asked. Now give me all the files about my identity and leave me alone." I did something to throw him off my guard. I had to call a few favors for him to believe he has me where he wants about the death of Jerome yesterday. He walked towards me with two bodyguards, another three are in the back and the SUV that has a chauffeur waiting. I threw the briefcase in the ground and kicked it towards him.
"Alright, but first let me try the tech on." He reached for the case and opened it pulling a gauntlet out I tried to contain my smirk as he was about to place it on but he grabbed the arm of one of his bodyguards and placed it in his hand. The gauntlet snapped in place and delivered a shock knocking him out. 'Shit, there goes the easy plan.'
"So you wanted to electrocute me with that? I already know that only one of them work. Which is this one." He said as the gauntlet formed on his hand and shot at me. I dodged and rushed at him, he ducked low as I threw a kick and he stepped back and retaliated by firing at me I couldn't even dodge. 'You don't know it will overload.' I thought to myself as I groaned in pain. 'Ouch.' It feels like a straight up shot to the gut. No wonder the bad guys surrender.
He walked forward until he was above me as I tried to stand up. "I can just kidnap you right now. Have you to myself and make you work building tech for me. But it would put a big target on me." He said as he kicked me in the ribs sending me to my back and fired again at my stomach. I groaned at the scorching blast.
"Huh, no smart comment? Or snappy comeback?" '2 shots, before you have to not touch it for three hours. Just like my first repulsor.'
"I will stop you." I glared at him out of the corner of my eye. I'm still surprised I didn't hit him at all.
"You see I know the odds of you capturing me. I know those things there." He pointed at the case with the shield generators. "You have a five percent chance of working correctly if so, you have that chance to work correctly." He grabbed me by my hair pulling me up and punched me in the face.
"I don't really like hitting women. But you're a pain in the ass, so hell-bent on stopping me and yet, you give me enough tech to actually reverse engineer into something that works." He punched me again.
"You have a fifteen percent chance of getting out of here unscathed. But those odds are not in your favor after all I already hurt you enough."
I spat at his face and he punched me again. My lip broke and I tasted blood. "Fuck You! I will stop you."
"But you don't want that, if you stop me there is a one hundred percent chance of your identity no longer being secret." He walked towards the end of the warehouse where his SUV is.
'So he knows the odds but I don't care about what are the odds.'
"I have enough tech on this gauntlet to let me leave and get rich or well richer. I will also return one day to ask for more tech." He waved as he walked away from the briefcase. "I will leave in a plane, you won't stop me. Because. You. Can't."
"Activate!"
"You still try? It won't work." He said in a cocky tone as he kept walking while the reactors began glowing.
"I know." I got into a fetal position as the gauntlets with my shield tech activated but instead of creating a barrier big enough to cover the warehouse and knock everyone down, it began launching electricity everywhere. I was counting on that.
"Ahhh you bitch!" Brown yelled as lighting hit him, I felt the hit land on my back. I groaned as I heard a loud pop and he screamed again.
'It blew up.' I hoped as he began yelling to get away. I caught him off guard. His hand should be bleeding badly.
"I won't let you." I said as I got up and began running as fast as I could. I saw most of the bodyguards unconscious in the ground. "Jarvis call authorities tell them to go to JFK." I ordered as I ran out the warehouse my silk sense went off and jumping as fast as I could as an explosion sounded behind me. It sent me flying and I ended up crashing against a mattress that was lined up against a wall.
"What the?" I looked to see a note in his annoyingly good cursive handwriting. 'You can't catch me.' I felt rage in me as I pushed past the pain and got up. "Iron Silk." I activated my armor as I began swinging after him as he clearly crashed into signs and escaped the warehouses. My armor assembled on my body and I pushed my speed to catch up to him.
Jumping forward and using the boosters to web swing faster, I took to the city but as I was swinging trying to spot him I got warned a second after I saw his black SUV. But an explosion sounded beside me knocking the wind out of me and I began to fall.
A groan left my mouth as I recovered from falling but my boosters helped me get my speed back as I kept going. Thank my armor for covering that explosion. I Looked around as I reached the highest peak in my swing, can see the van moving towards the airport. I began to fall once again, my silk sense warned me but I couldn't do anything. "Ah shit!" I said as another one blew up near me and sent me tumbling through the air. I crashed into another building and didn't give up as I kept running after him. 'How does he know my speed? And route, this is the most obvious one.' I barely avoided another explosion, I am falling behind and he keeps getting away.
I cannot keep taking the direct explosions if I keep going like this, I will most likely die. I groaned in pain as I swinged again, my thrusters keeping me alive from the explosions going around me.
"Jarvis alternate routes to the airport!" It displayed 3 routes I took the third route that would make me still catch him and hopefully avoid triggering explosions.
As I took the first swing another explosion happened. This one made me crash into a car that was parked, and a sticky note stuck in the roof. 'Cindy, you're the bomb.' "How does he know? His powers are such bullshit; my boosters are barely keeping up with him." Wait the boosters. They are sending me over to the max speed I can achieve. I jump up again without my boosters and begin to swing normally using the same third route. The explosions seemed timed as the explosions happened at the time I was supposed to be there but I wasn't there I just had to slow down. I didn't hear any other explosions in the city. I found my way to fight him; I kept going forward as explosions sounded before I was even there. I cannot change route since he might think I would change route, but what if that's his plan and I keep going in the same direction. But I pressed forward as more explosions kept going on and making rubble from buildings fall to pedestrians who were running, but I stopped them by webbing them as I swung by the rest was easy as I reached the airport and no more explosions sounded. My armor is burnt up and barely there, my brow is bleeding but I know I can do this.
After successfully reaching the airport I can see brown getting out of his black SUB. I growled as I made my way towards him I can see he's limping towards a jet. I fire at him with my repulsor but he dodges to the right I shoot webs and he steps back while turning around and pulls a gun and shoots at me my senses try to tell me to dodge but I can't, I try to dodge some but one hits me in the right thigh. The rest I'm able to dodge.
I groaned in pain but I kept going. "Hey Cindy!" He made me stop and pointed to a hot air balloon that is taking off. "See that silver hot air balloon?" He pointed at it. "If that thing reaches thirty meters off the ground your identity will be revealed to everyone. Sending a video of you fighting against your kidnappers as well as the fight in the street. What will you choose?" He got on his plane as I stopped. "Get me out of this country!" He yelled as he made his way into the plane and the door closed. But I don't care as the plane begins to take off the engines roar loudly. I look to the balloon. It's on the other side of the runway I am really tempted to let him get away and save my identity it's so easy to just go there, but I can't let him get away. Or else he will keep on tormenting me; he's too dangerous. As the plane begins to exit the hangar. I turn my back to the balloon. No, I have to stop him it pains me too much to let my anonymity go, but I have to.
"No you don't!" I grab onto the edge as the plane takes an illegal take off. It slowly begins to take speed as I grab on for dear life sticking myself to the wing. I begin to move forward my boosters and pieces of armor help me stay on the jet as well as I stick myself to it. "You won't get away!" I say as I reach the door and with the help of the armor rip it off its hinges and move inside.
"How? You should be stopping the balloon and almost dead from the explosions? It was a ninety percent chance of me getting away." He said as he dug back into his shirt for his gun.
"Aim for the odds." I shot a repulsor blast at him but he ducked and hit the ground and fired at me with his gun, I ducked under the shot. We were around 20 meters off the ground but slowly the plane stirred downwards. 'He shot the pilot.'
"Shit!" He yelled as he looked to the side my silk sense almost cracked my head as I saw an international plane on our right... I grabbed him, punched him, made him drop the gun, and jumped both of us escaping the jet as both planes crashed, but I turn towards them and notice that the plane turbine began to go up in flames, soon others went up as well.
"You have to let me go. Save them or capture me. Yet you still lose." He cackled like mad as his nose bled. I used the boosters to land on the plane and see two turbines in fire,
"Shut up!" I threw him with a couple of web grenades to his chest and he got stuck to the side of the plane while he laughed. He looked to his right; I turned as well to see the hot air balloon
"What will you do? Stop me from leaving, this web will keep me safe from the crash but the passengers are another story, you can save your secret identity or you land this plane and save the others but sacrificing your identity? Go on Cindy decide." He laughed as I shot a repulsor blast towards the hot air balloon but the blast flickered out of reach, I fired a web line but as well but nothing. 'It's too far. Only way is if I jump, but my armor is too banged up to make a trip to return here,' He laughed harder as I made my choice, I turned towards him.
And punched him knocking him out. "I'll atop you and save them." Webbing him up enough to the plane. I don't have much time as the ground neared and the plane stirred. I crawled on the plane towards the windshield.
As I came into view, both pilots jumped in fright. "Connect me to the Airplane comms."
"Done."
"Captain, this is Silk. I need you to tell me what is going on?"
"The turbines are slowly going into flames, our left wing is broken and the landing gear broke. We can deploy the wheels but it will only crash into the ground."
"Meaning if we do that the airport will be destroyed. Can't you land in the Atlantic?"
"Not enough fuel or power to do so. I'm afraid we will have to crash land."
I motion them to give me a minute. I crawl down to see the damage and from the looks of it the landing gear is busted from the wheels hanging down and there is fuel
leaking. 'Good thing they're low on fuel.'
"Captain. I have a crazy and stupid idea." I said with enough confidence that I might actually pull this off.
"What is your idea, control tower has no idea what to do."
"I'm sorry but I have to ask you to land this plane." I crawled towards the back of the landing gear and begin firing as much web as I have. I shoot until I have none left, both natural and synthetic. The landing gear seems to be in place.
"I'm sorry what?"
"I'll hold up the landing gear and yes I know it's busted. I just need you to keep everyone calm. Or something" An explosion sounded beside me I could see the turbine go up in flames.
"Do it now!" I ordered as I made my way to the front landing gear, my armor is sizzling and sending sparks, I ripped the remains of my armor leaving me Only in my original suit which is now riddled with holes and blood. But I don't care. It's bad but I know for a fact that I was relying too much on that armor.
I can feel my ears popping from the altitude. I arrived on the opening for the landing gear and rip it open so the entire gear is out in the open the wind on my face makes it hard but at least my mask lets me breathe.
"Beginning descent. I need everyone to calm down and buckle up." The captain said over the comms. I brace myself as I put myself in the landing gear and as the ground comes closer luckily I have the iron still on boots as I think it through.
The landing gear tries to get back in its original position and I pull down the landing gear and wells which are around half a ton and deploy it completely with more ease than I thought which means the hydraulics are broken as well as the brake fuel as I can see something leaking, I place myself standing to hold the landing gear together acting as the breaks and sticking myself as much as I can I ready myself for the weight.
As the ground comes closer and closer another engine blows up knocking the plane sideways. I groan as we begin to land.
"The back landing gear broke!" I heard on my comms as the weight increased and we began to skid.
"Keep going I'll save everyone. I promise that no one will die while I'm here! I promise that no one will be hurt!" I yell out, I have to save everyone, I brace myself grabbing onto the metal as the weight keeps increasing.
The plane arrives cockpit first and all the weight is placed on me as if I was punched, I can feel it crushing me but I held it in place. I put every bit of strength I have and don't have. "I do it for everyone! I will save you! I WILL SAVE YOU ALL!" I need another way to slow down and look at the wheels not slowing down and press my foot on the wheel to make it stop the metal of my boot burning as the rubber of the wheels meet my foot quickly tearing through the metal and even through my sole, my feet begin to get burnt as burning flesh hits my nose. The pain makes me scream but I focus on the enormous weight on my body, I focus on the lives I'm about to save, the lives I have to save.
"AAAAHHHH!" I yell out as I push myself harder and harder, the metal bends in my hand and arms, my back cracks and pops as it meets my resistance and the crushing weight.
The metal bends as my feet begin to burn even more. The weight increases even more as the metal of the plane envelops me, but as I feel the need to jump away I don't do it it's too late for me to use able to do anything else. I will land this place if it's the last thing I do! The weight of the plane the smell of smoke and burning flesh.
A crack sounds from my sides as well as a pop on my right wrist; the pain is not there as I hold the entire plane on me.
"Aaaahhh!" I keep yelling out and finally but slowly the plane slows down.
Until agonizing seconds it fully stops. I take a step removing myself from the dent in the place and land on my bare bleeding feet. I can see the door stuck as people pushed. Focusing on the door throwing the last of my webs into a web line and missing my vision is blurry I shoot again at the door and pull removing it from its hinges slowly a yellow slide and people slowly slide down I begin helping by catching the kids and elderly everyone thanks me.
I caught the ones that needed help and pulling them to their feet, making sure no one is hurt I went up the ramp to help two people who were unconscious and carried them to safety and out of the plane which is on fire.
"Thank you Silk." I hear behind me as people begin clapping and cheering, I feel my eyes tear up from the sight of everyone being okay. I sigh as the adrenaline in my body begins yo wear off.
The ambulances and police sirens begin to roll up. I look again at the plane which I realize its one of those that travel internationally, I look to my left to see paramedics rush towards me. "Mam you're bleeding and-" I put a hand and point at the unconscious ones.
"Not me, there are three people badly injured I'm the least of your worries. Help them." People begin to make way for them as the paramedics rush to the unconscious people. 3 more ambulances roll up, as well as police officers, I just stand ready to leave, but my body doesn't move. Ignoring the pain on my sides, back, wrists and feet I try to move.
"Cindy Moon! Or should I say Silk! You're under arrest for acts of vigilantism." Officer Wagner, the one that hates my guts arrives and gets down from her car.
"I can't, not until that guy is placed in jail for terrorism." I point at the guy that is being brought down from the plane. She looked at the containing swat truck and then at me.
"He's under custody now! Don't resist arrest or I will use force!" She pulls out her gun and point at me, I was about to raise my hands but the pain stops me making me flinch and groan.
"Hands in the air! Don't try to run away I will shoot!" She cocks the hammer back, I brace myself ready to run and avoid bullets thinking o ways to successfully run away. But to my surprise a tall guy takes a step in front of me. "No, she saved everyone here. She's a hero, she's clearly hurt by lifting an entire plane on her back and yet she still stands on her bleeding feet and let everyone else get treated first." He stands straighter and covers me. "If you want to get her you'll go over me. She promised to save everyone and she kept it up. So arrest me if she goes." The hulking man stands in front of me.
"Sir she's a danger to the public safety! Step away from her, or you will be detained for obstruction of justice."
"I don't' care, she saved everyone here!" He said clearly defying her.
"Then you force my hand." She said as she's clearly pointing her gun at me.
"No! She's a hero." A little girl no older than 6 takes a step forward, walking right past me, she has Silk pajamas on her. I smile warmly I now realize my mask fell off.
"Yeah, if you want to take her take me as well." A woman in her clearly elderly years steps forward.
"And me!" Soon many choruses of people step forward I relax and in seconds my whole body is ripped from the numbness of my broken bones from the adrenaline.
"Hey Miss Moon are you alright?" I hear a paramedic behind me but her voice sounds as if she's under water, she has a paramedic outfit and a concerned face.
I blink slowly and wince at the pain as my vision blackens around the edges. She pulls something and flashed in my eyes, but I am not able to see what it is. "She's unresponsive." I can see a stretcher being pulled towards me.
"Is everyone... safe?" I ask as people turn their gazes at me. I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Everyone is safe you can go with them now. You're a hero." I turn to the little girl and grab my mask slowly I give it to her.
"You're brave kid, that's what matters. Standing for what is right." She's almost crying.
"Will you be -ay?"
"I am invincible. But I need rest."
"Rest so you can get better. Please!" With her words I nod as I turn towards everyone which is met with gratitude.
"You made sure everyone here returns to their families." I can hear the claps and cheers far away even though they stand in front of me. I'm placed into a stretcher, I take a seat and slowly I'm pushed down, to lie on my back. "Jesus how was she even standing." I hear from beside me, I slowly begin to feel dizzy and sleepy, the white ceiling remind me of my room at the orphanage, I close my eyes and think to myself. 'Yes a nap should be fine. Sleeping sounds nice.'
"We're losing her!" I heard in the distance as I drift off to darkness.
AN. So, I kinda got carried away and ended up adding like 2 scenes removing another 2 adding dialogue and other stuff writers do. So here it is, the climax of the movie and third and final act. There is an epilogue as well as a set up for the next movie which happens after AoU. It will be kinda character centric. It will talk about the orphanage, why wasn't cindy adopted in her years in the orphanage, who her mother is and more romance in the way. So buckle up because while the story arc ended we get back on track with cannon.
Also, there are hints as to what happens later in the story, and yes her secret is out.
DBZFAN45: Actually I double checked no chapter is wrong. Sorry maybe its the device you're using.
"Lost it Never Had it: Yeah, I struggled a bit with the Villain, but he's not supposed to be edgy, he's supposed to be refined. Like someone who is smarter than everyone in the room.
To guest: I know about the law regarding rent. But I also don't care because it will be kinda important later on in the story for the sequel of this movie. Which happens after Ultron. Also it isn't bad writing, bad writing would have her made an easy life. Where everything is handed to the character in a silver spoon. What happened to Cindy was a chapter ending in her life. A chapter where she didn't accept help from anyone since she was young she only looked after herself and learned to not trust others more so people who she interacted a few hours over the course of three to four days. She had her back up plan to backup plan. But her loans became too much and she couldn't go to stark and ask for money or a place to stay because Cindy doesn't like to be a charity case because she has pride of her own.
Lewtonspoons: thanks I didn't forgot the story mainly because I want to autopublish a book on Amazon and began working on making that story great.
Kuroshiroryuu: I never actually left I do have quite the ideas and written more stuff that happens later on.
Emeroth: thanks for the review!
Triflight: sorry about the delay and here you go!
Kittyrsocute: thanks for the encouragement.
Ogfrosty: I sent you a pm about reading first reviews rather than the story. I do that myself but I have the decency to at least give the story a chance.
Guest: so you think just because names are the same they're the same character. You're in the literal sense of the word an idiot. Besides I think I'm doing a better job than the one Robbie Thompson did in 2017. Where Cindy had 0 character development even during the second spiderverse event where on the first one she had the most important role. She had only 4 to 5 lines of dialogue. Don't say she's interesting more so when her only important trait is that she is a girl that has spider powers. Also read the story past the seventh chapter and tell me how the MC. Is a Gary Stu.
K.I. Hernandez: I never considered an actor or artist to interpret my OC, but she does seem pretty similar to my idea. Only kinda taller and with a more happy go lucky front.
