Chapter 11: Big Night
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, now this one has one of my all time favorite Spider-Man moments that made me realize he was one of the greatest heroes ever, not to mention I have quite a shocker at the end. Please Review and Enjoy.
In Doc Ock's secret lab Doc Ock was working on something with Kraven and Rhino waiting nearby.
"You seem to be taking your time with whatever that is." Kraven said.
"All good things come to those who wait and here are the results." Doc Ock said as he tosses Kraven a high-tech looking spear which he catches.
"Impressive, but Kraven has seen the power of the Black Panther and the Spider. I'll need more than this if I am to hunt them." Kraven said.
"What did you have in mind?" Doc Ock raises an eye brow.
"The Black Panther gets his strength from the Heart Shaped herb and it gives him incredible power to the Panther I've been working for years to find a way to fight it and I've come to realize…the best way to hunt your prey is to fight like your prey." Kraven grins.
Doc Ock looks at him with an amused expression.
"You do realize if you do this there's no going back." He said.
"I am aware and I accept the conditions." Kraven said.
"Very well, I'll get to work. Rhino I have a job for you." Doc Ock said looking at him. "I need you to pick up the others."
Rhino nods knowing what he meant.
At Jaden's house Jaden was in his room pacing back and forth with Miles and Harry watching in amusement.
"Wow even when finals or midterms were around the corner Jaden was never this stressed." Miles said.
"It's actually kinda funny seeing him like this." Harry smirks.
"Well I'm glad you guys are enjoying this so much." Jaden glares.
"Jaden you're just going to the pier to meet Barbara for your date what's the big deal?" Harry asks.
"Because guys I want this to go well because." Jaden takes a deep breath. "Tonight, I'm gonna ask Barbara to be my girlfriend." Jaden admits surprising both of them.
"Whoa Jaden, taking a big step there." Miles smiles patting him on the back.
"I know, that's why I'm really nervous." Jaden admits.
"Relax Jaden you got this. Barbara's gonna be lucky to have you." Miles smiles.
"I hope so." Jaden said.
"Here Jaden, this might help you out. Take her on a few rides or maybe get her a treat." Harry said taking $20 out of his wallet.
"Harry you're my friend. I can't take your money." Jaden said giving it back to him.
Harry smiles and pats Jaden on the shoulder. "You're way to humble you know that?"
Jaden shrugs as the 3 friends laugh.
"You got this buddy. Go out there and make this girl feel like the luckiest girl in the world." Miles said as the tree of them made their way down.
"Mom, have you seen my wallet?" Jaden asks.
"On the kitchen counter." Maya calls out.
Seeing it Jaden walks over and grabs when Maya walks over to him.
"Have lots of fun sweetie." Maya smiles.
"I will mom." Jaden smiles.
"Maybe afterwards you can bring this lucky girl home, so I can meet her?" Maya giggles.
"If she says yes I will." Jaden said.
"Oh, of course she will." Maya said hugging him.
At Super Hero High Barbara was almost equally nervous about her date as Jaden was.
"Whoo come on Barbara get it together. I mean it's not like Jaden hasn't asked you out before, so why am I so nervous?" Barbara asks herself when her dad walks in.
"Normally people only are this nervous when they're being interrogated." Commissioner Gordon smirks.
"Thanks for the helpful criticism dad." Barbara glares sarcastically.
"Come on Babs what's the big deal? You're just going to the pier with that Jaden boy." He said walking over.
"Come on Dad, Jaden and I have been hanging out for almost 3 months." Barbara said.
"Yeah and since you met him your time looking for Spider-Man has gone down drastically." Commissioner Gordon said.
"We'll find him dad, he never leaves Metropolis, so he's bound to show up sooner or later." Barbara said.
"All I'm saying is that if this boy really likes you he should have the guts to say it." He said.
"Alright I'm leaving. I gotta catch the next train to the pier. Bye dad." Barbara said giving her dad a hug before running out the door.
"Kids these days." Commissioner Gordon smirks shaking his head.
That night at the Belle Reve Penitentiary and Juvenile detention center multiple guards were firing bullets as Rhino was rushing through the facility with ease taking out all the guards with ease.
As all the criminals were cheering at the sight of Rhino defeating the very guards who locked them away. As Rhino made his way through the cells he was looking at the various criminals that were locked up until he came by three cells.
Rhino walks up to them and grabs the bars.
"I have deal to offer you three in exchange for freedom and as bonus we bring down the annoying brats of the Super Hero School." Rhino said.
From the cells Rhino looks to see Electro, Beetle and Vulture looking at him with smiles on their faces all liking the sound of this deal.
Across town Barbara was making her way onto the train to meet Jaden at the pier. Taking out her phone she sent Jaden a text saying she was on her way. Little did she know as the train was about to take off some figures made their way into the front compartment.
As the conductor was at the controls ready to start the train he got a knock at the door.
"Yes?" The conductor said.
"Sir, there's an unconscious man lying in the middle of the train." A male voice said.
"Hmm?" The conductor opens the door and is hit with the butt of a gun as a man in the mask entered and took control of the train making it start speeding causing the passengers to scramble as two men fired guns into the air startling them.
Seeing this Barbara looks in horror as she reaches for her phone and dials it.
As Jaden was walking to the bus stop his phone went off signaling it was Barbara. "Hey Barbara, I'm almost there."
"Jaden help me. Call Super Hero High. A train heading towards downtown has been hijacked." Barbara whispers.
"A train? What how do you—"
"Hey gimme that!" A male voice said in the background.
"Hey let me go!" Barbara yells shocking Jaden.
"Barbara!" Jaden gasps when the connection got disconnected. Growling Jaden runs down an ally and changes to his Spider-Man outfit and swings after that train. "Hang on Barbara, I'm on my way!"
Inside the train the criminals were at the controls increasing the speed of the train.
"How much farther?" One asks.
"We have 10 miles to go before we reach city hall and can bribe them to pay us a fortune." The leader said.
As Barbara was trapped with the other civilians she was both scared and worried about the others. 'Please Jaden, please get help.' She thought.
"Look it's Spider-Man!" A little boy points.
All of them look out the window to see the webbed warrior swinging on a web before grabbing onto the glass windows.
"Get him!" The criminal yells as they fired at Spider-Man as he crawled along the outside before shooting a web at the glass. Jumping backwards Spider-Man smashes through the glass and punches one of the three crooks into the wall.
As the second threw a punch Spider-Man caught it. "Sorry buddy, but the only train you're getting on is the pain train." Spider-Man said throwing him into his colleague. The two struggle to get up when Spider-Man shoots his webs at them tying them up. "And then there was one."
Spider-Man turns to see the leader at the controls acting quickly he takes turns on the accelerator making the train speed ahead sending everyone flying backwards to the other end of the train car. Before Spider Man couls stop him he rips the breaks out.
"Oh no." Spidey said as he rushed over to see the Leader climbing up the roof of the train and taking out a grappling hook.
"Goodbye Spider-Man enjoy your trip, it's a short one." He laughs.
Spider-Man growls as he tries to turn on the breaks, but the controls were fried. "What do I do? What do I do?"
Climbing out onto the front of the train Barbara looks at Spider-Man. "What are you doing?" Barbara asks standing behind him.
"Tell everyone to hang on!" Spider-Man said as he jumped down and tried to stop the train with his super strength, but all he did was break apart the wooden beams in the track before coming back up.
"Anymore ideas?" Barbara asks.
"I got a few." Spider-Man said. Looking ahead he fires multiple webs along the buildings, walls, literally anything strong enough to stay intact.
Spider-Man let out a scream of pain as he struggled to hold onto all the webs, so the train would hopefully slow down. As his body was pressed against the front of the train the sleeves on his suit started to rip.
Barbara looks at him in awe. 'How is he able to take all that?' She thought.
Eventually the train came to a stop and all the citizens cheered in relief as they all had been saved.
That night the police and the fire department had come to get all the civilians off the train. As Barbara climbed off she looked at her watch to see it was already 9:30 and sighs.
"I hope Jaden doesn't think I stood him up." She groans when she heard a groaning sound. Looking over she saw Spider-Man weakly making his way down an ally.
Looking around she saw nobody noticed him, her curiosity getting the better of her she made her way down the alley where she saw Spider-Man drop to the ground exhausted.
Barbara was about to say something when she heard him panting heavily. Reaching up Barbara's eyes widen as she saw him remove his mask and a look of shock appeared to reveal Jaden was under that mask.
"J-Jaden?" Jaden's eyes widen as he looks to see Barbara looking at him speechless.
"Oh boy." Jaden said in fear of what was to happen.
