"Jordan? Viney? Hello?!" The two stirred slowly awake to see Crazy Dave, Penelopea, and their mother in their room.
"Oh, thank the tacos you're okay!" They gave a brief laugh as they knew about his affinity for tacos.
"Although," said their mother, looking concerned. "You two should probably look in a mirror." The two tried to get up but it's almost as if their bodies were… fused. And when they went to the mirror…
"What the-?" The two were taken back by what happened to them: Jordan was fused to Viney. "What did that machine do?!"
"Allow me to explain," said a Pepper M.D. calmly. "When the Hero-Tron malfunctioned and exploded, it created a multitude of rays that spread across the entire world. You two were one of the targets. Also, as the ray hit you, you were bitten by a radioactive spider from Zomburbia."
"So basically, we're like a hive mind now?"
"Well, sort of, I guess." Penelopea was also just as confused.
"You were hit too?"
"Yeah, I still don't entirely know what happened. Now I'm wearing these clothes for some reason. She sported a purple cape with a hood, a mask, and a pendant that has a leaf symbol on it.
"Hey, wait a minute," said Viney, having a realization. "If those rays hit me and Penelopea, then who else did it hit?"
"Hey, boss, if one of the rays hit me and Super Brainz, then who else did it hit?" An Imp that went by the name Impfinity asked the question while testing his new duplication powers. As one of the Zombies affected by the ray, he was given the power to multiply himself free to his heart's content. The two were interrupted, however, when a hole appeared in the ceiling.
"Hello, Dr. Zomboss! And Imp!" They heard the words of Super Brainz landing through the hole. Dr. Zomboss was annoyed at this.
"You knew there was a door right?"
"What's a door?" Zomboss facepalmed at this. But he gained an idea that could help him answer Impfinity's question.
"Super Brainz! Impfinity! I have a job for you two…"
"Crazy Dave! Crazy Dave" These were the cries of the Rescue Radish, who rushed to Dave to tell him about something strange. "You have to come downstairs to the Plant base! Something's come up on our monitors!" Hearing this Dave, Rescue Radish, Jordan and Viney, and Penelopea started to head to the base.
"Jordan, Viney! Wait!" Wanah called to them before leaving, noticing that they seemed to be fine as they both got up. "Be careful out there!' They gave a nod and dashed off. Penelopea herself felt a strange feeling as she began to run. Then she started running faster and faster… until she became a blur. This caused her to crash into the wall surrounding the base.
"Are you okay," Jordan asked after her crash.
"Yeah, I'm good…" Everyone went in walking, but Jordan and Viney did something strangely different. They actually walked on the walls of the tree in the middle. Everyone noticed and got a little weirded out. Nevertheless, they reached the monitor right in the middle and saw that it was picking up traces of superhuman abilities in the area.
"So there were other Plants hit by the ray!" Jordan and Viney observed and took note of the different signals on the map.
"Well, I'll be an uncle's monkey. We have to find them! But first, we need aliases for you two."
"Really?"
"Yeah. All superheroes have aliases."
"Hmm…" Rescue Radish decided to come up with names for them. "Penelopea, because of your quick speed, you should be named… Green Shadow!"
"That actually works. Thanks!"
"Jordan, Viney… I am not entirely sure what your name should be, but because of you crawling on the walls like a spider, I think you should go by the name… Spider-Vine."
"Hmm…" The two were unsure of the name but decided to continue on. They could only wonder about the types of Heroes that they were going to find.
AU: So I'm sticking to this before I start on Spider-Verse and Beyond. Just wanted to get another chapter out of the way before my day actually begins. And this will be a complete redoing of Calling All Heroes (Original).
Well, as always, leave a review! Never hurts to help!
