Alright, True Believers... Let's kick it up!
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
A great deal of rescue vehicles were rushing towards a small apartment building that had cone up in a blaze while up above them, Spiderman was covertly swinging and wall running behind them.
After two minutes of all parties going as fast as they could. Spiderman found himself kneeing on the edge of a rooftop across from the fire and was listening in on the firemen talking to a man who had been pulled out of the front door.
"Sergeant Williams you have to calm down!" One of them said as the man was struggling to get back inside.
"My daughter's still in there!" The man shouted. That was all our hero needed to get moving as he summoned all his strength and jumped across the street and used his webs to pull himself hard enough to go crashing through a window in the burning building.
"Hey! Is anyone in here?" Spiderman shouted before he heard some whimpering coming from a nearby room which he quickly ran to, punching the door open too see a little girl cowering in a corner with a stuffed bear in her arms. "Hey." He said as he ran to where the girl was and reached for her only for her to pull back.
"Stay away!" The girl shouted.
"Hey. Hey. It's alright. I'm here to help." Spiderman tried to say only for the girl to keep trembling. Just then a flaming beam fell towards the girl and the young hero leapt forward, using his body to shield the girl as the burning wood slammed down on his shoulder, snapping in two. He was quickly able to shake the pain off as he raised his hand for the girl again. "Come on." He gently said a the girl finally realized he wasn't going to hurt her and grabbed on to his hand as he picked her up and ran for the window only for the floor to collapse before they reached it.
"Hold on." Spiderman said as he pointed his hand at wall outside the window and shot a web at it. He then pushed up on the mechanism of his web shooter quickly pulling him and the girl to safety.
Shortly after Spiderman jumped to the ground with the girl in his arms they were quickly approached by the girls father, who had seen them escape. "Put her down." He said while pointing a gun at the masked hero who quickly put the girl down.
"Thank you, mister." The girl said before running to her father, urging him to put the gun down.
"I saw the fire. I was just trying to help." Spiderman said as sergeant Williams lowered his gun. But kept it ready to go.
"You one of them?" Williams asked. "Like Stark and those others, I mean." He clarified.
"I'm more like that guy in Amity Park. Just a guy trying to keep his city safe." Spiderman replied.
The cop then looked down at his daughter before looking back to the masked boy. "What do I call you?" He asked as Spiderman turned around, assured the cop wouldn't try to stop him from leaving.
"Spiderman." The young hero said before he jumped up and began swinging off, having to favor his left arm until his enhanced healing was able to get his right feeling better enough to swing while unbeknownst to him a man with white hair was running away from the site of the fire.
After an hour or so of swinging and another twenty minutes of roof jumping, Spiderman arrived on the roof of his home before entering and suiting down as he walked over to his computer to call Clyde and tell him about what had happened.
(Meanwhile in an unknown location)
"You. Had. One job, Schultz!" A man in the shadows said as his snow white hand grabbed the white haired man before tossing him to a wall, cracking it on impact. "All you had to do was set a house on fire and burn a cop with it and you get tripped up by some punk in a mask!" He shouted as the Schultz struggled to get up. "I'm giving you one warning. Slip up again and what happened to Marko will seem like a vacation!" The man in the shadows said before leaving.
"I would have at least been able to break that pig's spirit if it hadn't been for that web shooting punk." Schultz said as he got back to his feet. Just then a small shaky man about three feet tall walked up to him.
"T-terrible t-twist of luck, Herman." The short man said, gaining a glair from Schultz.
"What's it to you, O'Hirn?" Schultz asked.
"P-perhaps I have something t-to handle your new c-costumed friend." O'Hirn said as he signaled for Schultz to follow him.
(Back at the Loud House)
"Wow." Clyde said over the video call after Lincoln finished telling him of his escapades. "It's a good thing you were out there tonight." He said.
"Understatement of the year, buddy." Lincoln said as he looked back on the two lives he had saved that night. The little girl in particular. Ronnie Anne was one thing. Lincoln would save her even if he didn't have his powers. But the girl. "If I hadn't been out there tonight. If I hadn't decided to put on this mask, that girl would have died." Lincoln said as he looked down at his mask. "If wearing this and swinging from buildings can save lives then that's what I'm going to do. That's what Spiderman is going to do." Lincoln said with determination and no small amount of pride.
"So, what's your next move?" Clyde asked.
"First thing. I need to get some more chemicals from Lisa until I can get a better way of making my webs." Lincoln said before he and Clyde bit their farewells and Lincoln waited till it was late enough where everyone would be asleep before wall crawling out of his window and in to Lisa's, using his powers to get around her security system and get to the chemicals not noticing the micro camera's Lisa had built in to the walls of her room.
After mixing about two or three backup supplies of web fluid, Lincoln decided to get the only few hours of sleep he was going to get that night.
The next morning, after Lincoln rigged up a secret pocket in his backpack for his suit and mask and got back the carbs he burned off the previous night, he began to walk Lily to school. Upon reaching the elementary school, he couldn't help but notice that sergeant Williams and his daughter.
'Tough kid.' Lincoln thought before kneeling down in front of Lily.
"Thanks for walking me to school, Lincy." Lily said before hugging her brother and running to the building.
Lincoln stood there for another moment to make sure Lily got inside before quickly slipping across the street and suiting up, making sure that the sergeant saw him sticking when turning around.
"Why are you here?" Williams asked as he entered they alley.
"I was passing through, saw you. Thought I'd make sure you and your daughter were okay." Spiderman said
"Well, thank you for that and... I talked to my superiors. So the NYPD knows if they see a guy swinging on webs, he's on our side." Williams said, slightly surprising Spiderman. "I'm putting my trust in you. Don't make me regret it." He said with a nod before leaving the alley and getting in his car while Spiderman swung off.
(In a hidden lap beneath a warehouse.)
A door in the ceiling of the lab opened as O'Hirn and Schultz walked down in to it.
"Ever since, Stark m-made that s-suit, I've kn-known that p-people like would one d-day become c-common." O'Hirn said.
"What's your point." Schultz asked.
"Well, th-thankfully our employer also s-saw that c-coming." O'Hirn said as he walked over to a console and pressed several keys as a the floor folded open and a table with several strange devices came up.
Schultz looked over the weapons for a moment before his eyes landed on a pair of gauntlets with knuckles that appeared to glow blue when activated and picking them up.
"Ah. Excellent ch-choice. Just allow me t-to prepare the s-suit to d-disperse the recoil. T-trust me when I say you'll n-need it." O'Hirn said before typing on his keyboard as a camera lowered down and scanned Schultz as a 3D image appeared on the screen.
(Back with Spidey)
The young crime fighter swung through the city for a little bit until making to Casa Casagrande (AN: Perfect name for a Ronnie Anne spinoff, Nick.) before suiting down in the alley behind it and running to the door where he was met by Ronnie Anne's Aunt Frida.
"Hey, Mrs. Casagrande. I'm here to walk Ronnie Anne to school." Lincoln said.
"Ronnie Anne! Lincoln's here!" Frida called to her niece.
"Okay! I'll be right there!" Ronnie Anne called as she went to her closet to get her jacket only for it to slip out of her hand as she got it off the hanger, knocking a box open on impact. "Oh crap." Ronnie Anne whimpered as she grabbed the item that was in the box as it and her eyes began to glow viridian brief instant before placing the object back in the box, breathing slightly heavily before quickly grabbing her jacket and backpack and running to the front door to meet Lincoln.
"So, you see the news last night?" Lincoln asked as the two began walking to school.
"Yeah. Pretty funny he actually is called 'Spiderman'." Ronnie Anne commented, gaining and internal smirk from Lincoln given that she came up with the name her self. "I'm also glad to see him pulling the hero act wasn't just a one time deal." She said.
"Yeah. I get the feeling that Spiderman's gonna be around for some time to come." Lincoln said, ever so slightly pulling on his backpack before the two of them continued on their way to school.
(Back in O'Hirn's lab)
Several metal targets were placed in a row before they were all quickly destroyed by some strange types of blasts.
"Everything s-seems to be in order. S-sorry about the c-color. It was a b-bit of a rush j-job." O'Hirn said.
"Don't worry about it. As long as it helps me squash that bug." Schultz said as he began to walk to the stairs now clad in the yellow suit with red sleeves, red boots and black lenses on the mask.
"How do you p-plan to f-find him?" O'Hirn asked before Schultz turned around.
"That's the easy part. I just have to make a little noise." Schultz said while holding up one of the gauntlets and leaving.
As Schultz left O'Hirn turned back to the console before signaling for a video call. After a few moments the call was answered by slightly rotund man with bowl cut black hair.
"Ah, Alexander. I assume you have some good news." The man said.
"Indeed I do, Doctor Octavius." O'Hirn said, dropping the jittery persona. There appears to be a new enhanced individual operating on street level. The perfect test subject for our new enterprises." He explained.
"Good. The Kingpin will be pleased at this news." Octavius said with a grin. "Have you selected someone to test the weapons?" He asked as O'Hirn sent him data on Schultz. "Hmm. Keep us apprised of the progress." Octavius said before cutting the call.
'Oh, I'll keep you and Kingpin apprised. Just not on everything.' O'Hirn thought as he access a heavily encrypted file titled 'Project R'.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
