Chapter 8 An eventful day
Realm outside of time and space
It was a dwelling place of a Deity the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe. He was the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal and the saint's hopes to go to Heaven when they die. It was a place or condition of utmost happiness something that is very pleasant or enjoyable, it was a state of thought in which sin is absent and the harmony of the divine was present.
The third heaven, the location of which is not revealed, is the dwelling place of Elohim. Heaven possesses the "glory of God" the very presence of the one above all. Because heaven has no night and then He Himself is the light, the city is filled with the brilliance of costly stones and crystal clear jasper. Heaven having twelve gates and twelve foundations a place of "no more" no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow. It was a place promised for true believers in whoever beliefs in the Christ shall never perish but have eternal life.
It is here that we find people walking among the great street which was made of gold, as pure as transparent glass laughing, praising the creator or talking amongst themselves. The holy angels were there as well some were praising God. Others worshipping the Creator rejoicing in what He does. Serving him or appearing before Him, they are instruments of His judgments, even bringing answers to prayer. They aid in winning people to Christ as well observing Christian order, work, and suffering. They encourage in times of danger to both believers and non-believers and finally caring for the righteous at the time of death. But the most important of the holy angels is their instant, unquestioning obedience to God's commands.
So the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD and Above Him who sat on the throne were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of HIS glory."
At the sound of their voices, the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. All bowed before the throne crying in unison, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of HIS glory."
One of the angels looked up at their KING, "Master what is the meaning of the gathering of all the angels? Michael had told us that there was something important that you wanted to speak to us about."
"Yes." HIS voice majestically echoed throughout the throne, "I have summoned you here because there is something quite out of the ordinary that shouldn't be here but it is." The murmur went around the angel hierarchy, "One of my creation is not who he is but rather another as well the multiverses is combining with one another."
"What does that mean ?" Another asked, "Everything you do is only done by your will alone, not one timing or situation goes unnoticed even your plans extended to the other celestial host."
"He is here by accident but he will have a purpose here, which is why I AM assigning one you to guard this boy until his 20th birthday. I've known this child since his birth for it was I who created him in MY image, I gave him a purpose to one day use his talents for the good of mankind even though they will reject him. I will reveal MYSELF in time to him…behold…" A window opens to reveal a boy with brown hair, "Behold Peter Benjamin Parker but he is not Peter Parker…" Each angel shrugged not understanding what he meant until another image fizzled in the view and lo a new face appeared as the silhouette of the Parker boy faded. It was an appearance of a man stuck in the 15-year-old body, he was a bit muscular, soft in the dark chocolate eyes, hair a little messy and having a sense of seriousness around him.
"Could I say who is that?!"
The One above all chuckles, "In time I will reveal his name, for now, I need one of you to go and guard him so who among you will go? I WILL put a protective hedge around him included with the angel so who will do it?"
The angels looked at one another, seeing who would be the first one to go down to earth, then one angel stepped forward, "I will do it, Lord."
"Very well Joel, go quickly and should any entities give you trouble rebuke them in MY name and be wary about our enemy for the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour."
"I shall go quickly."
"I will give more instructions when you return." HE said
No sooner did the angel disappear in the twinkling of an eye, another bright light illuminated the throne room and it manifests itself as a being as a humanoid cosmic entity with three faces, and a golden body having a mantle over two of its faces while one was revealed with eyes glowing with power.
"It's the Tribunal!" One angel exclaimed
"What's he doing here?" Another said watching him walk towards the creator of the universe
"From where do you come from?"
"From safeguarding the multiverse from an imbalance of mystical forces. To also prevent one universe from amassing more power than any of the others, or from upsetting the cosmic balance in some way."
"State your business Tribunal."
Midtown High School Gym Class 10:25 AM
The whistle blew hard, anyone that wasn't within an earshot of the horrific sound blasting right in the eardrum was lucky the others not so much. After a few more seconds of blowing the coach spoke, "Alright people! Today, we'll be staying inside since it's raining outside; we were going to have students do the mile but we'll save it for another time. The choices before you are volleyball, dodgeball or shooting basketballs or you can hit the pool since we can't do any outdoor activity, so let's go make your choice we don't have all day!"
Ned came up to Peter nudging him, "So what are you going to do man?"
He shrugged, "I'm debating that myself." It was true Peter wasn't the most athletic person around however there was one little thing that these people of the Marvel universe didn't know; 'With the spider bite I got I'm pretty much am pretty athletic mostly a swimmer back in my old high school I was the team captain despite that I was mostly on JV varsity team, still I can't help but wonder when the swim tryouts are in this universe, is it in the Winter or Springtime? Still, I can't help but wonder to use the spider bite to my advantage when it comes to sports.'
As he thought this a pair of hands wrapped around his eyes, while their body pressed up against him, Ned was amazed at the girl in front of him.
"Guess who?" She said giggling lightly, 'Peter is going to be so surprised.'
"Hmm…well it's not MJ, no it can't be Gwen….Oh…I know your Santa Claus wife…" He said
"Guess again…." She sang
"Hmmm….The voice sounds familiar…I wonder…I know Lola Bunny…" Removing the hands from his eyesight, as he turned he was met with a strawberry-haired girl. The said girl jumped on Peter while he wrapped his arms around her waist lifting her up leaving her feet dangling a little over the floor, thanks to his ability to stick anywhere he didn't fall over or staggered.
"Heeyyy buddy has been a while…" She said, "Miss me?"
"No, not really I could have lived on without you know that Lorina besides I got a couple more girls waiting for me at home."
"Humph…" She frowned, "Well I never…"
Placing her down on her feet he smiled giving her a warmth felt hug which she returned.
The other boys couldn't believe that this pretty girl knew Parker, Flash being one of them "Geesh look at Parker."
"No this is got to be a prank or something."
"I heard rumors that he kissed Felicia."
"What?" Flash turned to Kong, "No way…"
"Hey dude that's what I heard, pinned her against the locker and started making out with her."
"Puny Parker being bold? Is the world about to end?"
"Hey isn't that Ava?" Another jock said
Ned, Peter, and Lorina kept talking while choosing to be around the basketball court well, two out of three were talking but it was discreetly they didn't reveal anything that would hint them being Spider-Man or the White Rabbit well Lorina identity was exposed after her arrest so everyone knew about it.
"You know I'm surprised, I thought you be gone a little while longer? But I'm glad you here now, seems you followed direction from you know who."
"Well this lucky bunny got a long way to hop her way back to the top and with a little incentive too might I add…from the Spider-Man." She said giving him a wink, "Besides my father called in a few favors to get me out of jail."
"What are you guys talking about? Are you two dating or something?"
Peter lips tightened, "Ned this Lorina, she's an acquaintance I met over Skype so no I am not dating her."
"That doesn't mean anything, there is a lot of dating sites for people to get to know each other, not to mention people use social media like Skype to know what the other is like."
"Yup, I thought he would have a bit more muscle he looked bigger when we were chatting…" Peter tuned them out he eyes searched the gymnasium, a lot of people were here. He saw Felicia filing her nails looking straight at him, with a very serious gaze.
'Wonder what's got that girl giving me a death stare?' He gave a small wave to her, she responded with her own while she went back to her nail filing still giving a look. 'Yeah, I really don't like the way she's staring at me…moving on…'
"Hey, why don't we try some hoops."
As they get in line to shoot hoops into the basket Peter notices Ava was pinned, she was not enjoying being between the jock and bleachers, his train of thought of helping her was interrupted when the coach called him out, "Parker!"
He faced an overweight, red in the face man.
"You're up…" The coach shook his head, "And please someone call me Guinness…for Parker having the lousy shots of the decade. I'll give you credit Parker, you show up no matter futile the gesture, let's go."
Peter rolled his eyes, "Coach not everyone is fit to be the next Michael Jordan or LeBron James I could be skipping gym class today if I wanted to but then again what will be the point of it?"
"Take shot the Parker before I lose my patience."
The students behind him snickered, he was lousy sports player. He heard them whisper behind his back literally. Peter bounced the ball twice favoring his right hand before dribbling completely. The man lifted a brow, he watched as the young brown head teen spun the ball in his fingers before taking aim and firing.
SWISH
The ball went in catching nothing but net. The coach blinked, the students gasped Parker made a net.
"Do that again…" He said, "This time I want you to make another shot hitting the backboard."
"Alright." Peter shrugged while overhearing Flash talking to the young Hispanic girl thanks to his enhanced hearing
"Come on, I know there's more to you Ava I've been checking you out…" Flash got real close into her personal space, Ava pushed him back.
"Ever heard of personal boundaries, Thompson? Well look it up in the dictionary it means don't get into my face unless you want to get hit." Ava then added, "Aren't you seeing Mary Jane?"
"I like that in a girl…feisty, turns me on and MJ? Well, she doesn't need to know…"
Peter's eye twitched
"Come on Parker while I still have the will to live!" The coach said
He ignored the teacher, still listening to the conversation occurring, he saw Flash grabbing Ava, she was getting agitated with his pestering she could have knocked him back with her skills but it would be raising eyebrows.
'Normally I wouldn't do this but Flash doesn't know when to take a hint.' He sighed, 'I'm going to hate myself in the morning tomorrow and I know my father taught me well not to get involved especially when it comes to a girl but Flash needs to be brought down a peg or two. Though I can't help but remember how the conversation started it's at the tip of my tongue…'
"Come on Ava…I want…UGH!"
SMACK
Right in the face, Ava is taken by surprise when the basketball came flying so suddenly.
Peter winced, 'Not what I was aiming for…'
The coach is baffled at what is transpiring "Whoa there Parker…"
"What the hell…." Down on the ground Flash is clutching his face, "Ow…"
"Keep your hands to yourself Flash, you already got yourself a girlfriend and it wouldn't be wise to be cheating on her with another. Leave her alone." Peter had to stand his ground now, 'Out of the oven into the furnace…'
Gritting his teeth he wanted to rush him, "Are you out of your mind Parker I'll squish you…"
The coach got in between the two, "Flash get out of here. Hit the showers! You're done."
Flash looks at the teacher enraged, "He hit me!"
"I will deal with it, hit the showers, Thompson!" He said firmly
"Three o'clock…" Flash got into Peter's face seething with anger, "I'll see you then…"
"Looking forward to it." He said nonchalantly
"THOMPSON SHOWERS NOW!" The coach shouted, "Or I'll report for disobeying an adult!"
"THIS SUCK MAN!" He shouted walking away throwing his hands up in the air in disbelief, "I didn't do anything!"
Now the man turns his attention towards the teen, "Well, Parker it looks like you can throw a ball when you want to…but you do realize I am going to have to take disciplinary action for that little stunt…yet, in this case, I'm going to let you off with a warning next time it's going to be the office do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal…"
Ava drew near to Peter as the coach turns his attention back to the students, she nudged him, "You didn't have to do that I'm more than capable of handling Thompson myself you know but thank you anyway."
"You're welcome…" Peter rubbed the back of his head "Flash needs to take a hint he needs to be brought down a peg or two."
"I never thought you had it in you to do that Peter."
"I'm full of surprises."
"Is that a fact?" She questioned
"More than you know…" He said smiling
Felicia carefully studied him from afar, thoughts about this Parker person was really eating her, especially what happened the day before with the whole electric guy. Where was he during that event? That bathroom excuse wasn't cutting it, she knew when Harry was lying so what's going here?
"Guess I'm going to have to do a little digging about you Peter, you're hiding something and I want to know what that something is."
The day went through without incident minus the fact Flash was giving Peter the death of a lifetime every chance he got. However, it was lunchtime for the students and the peace was soon about to be interrupted. Five students decided to go outdoors and finally after a few days of keeping silent Liz Allen summons enough courage to tell MJ the truth. The result not pretty at all since the battle was one-sided.
"YOU'RE LYING!" Mary Jane had to be restrained by Gwen, Harry, and Peter as she tried to claw out Liz eyes in which this case she was covered in bruises, "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!"
Liz already had a busted lip along with a broken nose, black and blue eye with tears streaming down her face as she gazed upon a riled Mary Jane Watson who was angry while tears streamed down her face falling to the ground. Her eyes were swollen from crying when the brunette told her about her dating the quarterback behind her back.
Peter was right, it was going to hurt Mary Jane as much it did her when he told to speak to the redhead in private today at lunch, it was also a good thing that these guys had a meeting place in the middle of the schoolyard.
"LET ME GO!" She threw off Harry and Gwen but Peter stood in her way, she didn't care as she tried to bypass him shoving him out the way. Peter was not about to this girl's arms be broken because of a bad relationship call; using his strength he grabbed her by locking her into a bear hug from behind.
Mary Jane screamed in fury trying to throw off the Parker teen, he noticed how much stronger she was compared to him, despite the male being physically stronger he remembers that female spiders are much stronger than their male counterparts or so says the internet but it could be adrenaline as well.
Thrashing to get out his grip she even tried to reverse butthead in the nose, still, he would not let her go despite the pain in his face. This time she pushed her arms outward breaking his grip, alarmed that he was losing his grip; he did what he had to do…he knees Mary Jane in the back of her knee causing the teenage girl to yelp as well buckle from the sudden impact.
With the girl off balance, he brings her down to her knees quickly by picking her up and slamming her to the ground with both her knees touching the ground. Dazed by the sudden movement thanks to the head jerk it caused she feels her arms being wrapped around another pair of arms than two hands clamp on her neck with something driven in her back.
Try all she might, she couldn't break free of the grip. Panting hard Peter looks back from the corner of his eye, "Hey Harry help Liz out…"
He didn't need to be told twice, the young Osborn goes over to the fallen brunette extending his hand towards her. Hesitantly, she is hoisted up to her feet with some staggering but she is kept in place when Harry wraps his around her waist for support.
MJ sent a death glare towards Liz, "If I ever see you again…I'm going to tear you apart and next time…"
"Oh for the love of Pete give it a rest Mary Jane!" Peter said, "The girl said she was sorry and this is how you act? Look I know this is a tough situation; but like I told you on the bus when we were going to the expo Flash doesn't care about you! You are only a trophy, I saw him flirting with Ava and trying to take her by force, you should direct the same anger at him not her even though she too is to blame as well."
"Why are you defending her Peter?! She deserves what coming to her! Why can't you just let me…"
"Beat the living turd out her? I'm sorry red but you need to look at the girl you just pummeled." He let her head up, "Look at Liz, broken nose probably dislocated, you punch her in the stomach knocking the wind out of her, then you nearly scratch her eyes out enough is enough….also you got spider-powers, you can kill someone with your bare hands do you want her blood to be on your hands for something stupid as a boy breaking your heart?" He whispered the last part in her ear
MJ's fierce demeanor went from angry to sobbing in a few moments, she cried the tears slid down her face, Peter slowly lets her go he had to make sure that she wasn't going to jump her. MJ covered her face to hide her shame, slowly Peter kneels to her level embracing her tightly, Gwen came offered her support as well.
Liz's eyes watered this was the price of cheating; friends being hurt because you just want a little love, she tilted her on Harry's shoulders allowing the tears to run freely. She could feel him tighten his hold on her as he stroked her back.
All that was heard was the sobbing of two broken friends, Peter said gentle words to her in the ear, "Everything is okay…it's okay…it's going to be okay…." He quietly prayed it will work itself out, rubbing her back soon enough sniffles were heard.
It was quiet for the most part, he signaled to Gwen to let her go, she nodded letting them both go. Gingerly he stood up along with Mary Jane, he still had her in an embrace as he stroked the redhead's girl hair, "Look I don't have words to say or tell you I cannot imagine the hurt you are going through right now or what's going through your mind...I will keep you two in prayer." Peter said, "But right now you two need to forgive each other or else the seed of bitterness will be planted and it will be harder to forgive and easier to hold a grudge."
"I can't…" MJ with a disdained look couldn't even face the brunette, "Not right now…*sighs*…you caused me a lot...*huff*…pain…Liz…consider our friendship over…I never want to speak to you…"
Gwen nudged Peter whispering something, he let the redhead go as the two girls leave. Liz looked worse for wear, Pete sighed, "The principal is definitely going to have a field day with these two girls…" He stared at the weeping brunette; 'Although Harry and Liz might make a good couple…I wonder…if I can hook them up.'
Elsewhere NYC in the later afternoon; New Yorkers are accustomed to watching their backs, but lately, a new threat has been coming in from a new direction…from above…
A young woman in her 20's quickly crosses the street to get away from a very suspicious looking Caucasian man, who takes an interest in her. She looks back and notices that he begins to follow her of course if she was paying more attention to the air she would have noticed a shadow over her.
With a snatch, her purse is taken,
"HEY GIVE THAT BACK YOU THIEF!" She shouts
Bystanders watch in awe and shock to see the supposed Vulture steal this young woman's purse, one bystander had a camera in hand; he takes the picture of the man flying away. It is later sent to the bugle with the headlines reading:
Daily Bugle
Threat from Above
THE VORACIOUS VULTURE STRIKES AGAIN!
And underneath the almost pixelated picture is the suggestion of a quality photo of either Spider-Man and his companion or the Vulture for $500.00.
Somewhere in an ally
"NUUUGGHHH!" Flash swings with a right hook, Peter easily dodges the punch ducking underneath looking quite unimpressed
His supporters cheering him on, "Come on bring the pain Flash!"
Once again Peter dodges another hook, "You are starting to bore me Flash…"
"Er…errr….What's gotten into you, Parker!" He says swinging at him once again
"What did I say from the beginning? I didn't want to fight you." Peter jumps back slightly avoiding a jab to the face
"No…you gotta be in my business!" He swipes nothing but air
"Listen Flash I know we had our differences in the past and this fight was a long time coming but what you are doing is very dangerous that can hurt you as well as your partner."
"What are you talking about?" Flash still with his fist up bounces a little on his foot as he bobs and weaves
"I'm talking about your unfaithfulness." Peter said crossing his arms, "Do you not care?"
"Pfft…no one can tame the Flash…" He said, "I like to keep my option open."
"You option open you say…" He deadpanned
Kong shouts, "Beat his butt…"
The other spectators cheer on their quarterback to own Parker. Flash sweating sends another right hook towards Pete happy to oblige them. Instead of dodging the attack the spider-bitten teen sidesteps to the left blocking the hook with both hands before he uses his left hand gripping the jocks wrist. He follows up with a karate chop to the trapezius with just enough force to cause him to yelp in pain, the young teen then knees the jock in the stomach causing him to double over, he twists the jocks arm using his spider-strength then kicks the back of his knee to send the jock to kneel, the crowd gasps in surprise Flash is beaten by Puny Parker.
Struggling in his grip Flash tries to get up but his opponent puts pressure on his arm, "I'm serious Flash I don't want to fight you."
"Ngghh…you should have thought about it before you entered my business." Flash was surprised by Parker's strength, 'When the heck did Puny Parker get fit?'
"You were flittering with a girl, not your own that mister is a severe case of signs that you like to around to flirt with every girl you see." Peter said flatly, "There is another term for it and I think today's youth have forgotten something that older generation has not, adultery I mean come on in today's society it's okay for guy who is in relationship to get with another girl and be considered a hero but it's not okay for girl to do it because then she considers a whore a double standard if you ask me."
"Don't you start preaching to me, Parker! I don't need you to tell me…Er…what I can or can't do, I can see it now you boring people with some stupid sayings or philosophy and don't act that you are a saint either, I saw that you flirting around with that new girl and I heard that you kissed Felicia, what's that about huh?"
Silence fell upon him, he was thinking of a way to respond back while keeping his grip on the blonde, "You want the truth? I'm not in a relationship but you are and sometimes I'm not even aware that I'm flirting unless I start first or I use it to joke around but where does the line in the sand be drawn…the path of the adulterer leaves ugly wounds and scars. The person who commits such a thing will destroy his own soul…trust me I know…" He said that last part quietly then he says, "My faith and belief is what's keeping me from crossing that line, it always starts in the heart before it becomes physical then..."
"I told you to shut up!" He shouted, "I can do what I want! I'm not hurting anyone if MJ doesn't find out beside and I like to keep my option open, you think I want to be around her all my life I want to see other people."
The others shrugged what was Peter gaining from this, was he losing his mind or was he talking in cryptic message, did Parker like MJ? What kind of girl would want Parker?
"Then let me ask you something what do you think of MJ?" He asked
"She's hot but like I said I want to meet other people." Flash said, "That's why I was dating Liz behind her back."
"You sure it wasn't to get in between her legs?"
"Mind your business, Parker." Flash tried to get up but Peter didn't allow it
"Oh I will but I do believe you owe someone an explanation isn't that right MJ…" He looked up to see the seething Redhead staring towards her soon to be ex-boyfriend.
Flash paled a ghostly white, the others winced. The blonde knew he was dead meat, Parker stalled long enough to get him to confess he realized. Finally, the young teen lets him go, "I'll leave you two alone so you can discuss your problems with one another."
He walks up to the girl warning her, "Don't overdo it."
"I make no promises." She said, "Flash is going to get what's coming to him."
He wraps an arm around her whispering through gritted teeth; "MJ don't forget that you have powers one accidental punch and his blood will be on your head, say what you need to say and end it."
While she wanted to claw Eugene eyes out, Peter had a point, "Fine…this won't take long anyway."
He sighs, "This is going to go against my better judgment I'm going to regret leaving him in your hands."
The girl walks up to the blonde jock, "Hello Eugene…too good for you big boy? Liz told me everything and I want to know why you would do that to me?"
"Uh…ha…ha…umm…damn…" Flash had no words coming to get him out of this mess, he glared at Peter; he held his hands signaling this was between the two of them, he turned to leave not wanting to see the end results as he begins to leave the ally, suddenly Peter shudders violently not that anyone was noticing.
'What the heck was that about…?' Something was off and he knew it but he couldn't place his finger on it, it was like the universe shifted or something was going to happen very soon. He shrugged it off thinking nothing of it, "I want to go right now and maybe try this dating thing Elektra
Osborn resident later
Kong is at Harry home telling the rich teen what had happened between Flash and Peter, "Yo it was crazy, you should have seen it! Flash is ready to unleash a can of butt whoop on Parker and what happens after that, Parker goes does this fancy karate stunt taking Flash down to his knee twisting his arm. You know what else MJ was there too and boy was she mad as a hornet! I think their time together is over man"
"Well, that's what happens when you find out that your boyfriend been cheating on you Kong," Harry started taking a bite of his apple, unknown that his father was listening to the conversation.
"Yeah but you want to know the strangest part, Parker talking something about adultery and how it starts in the heart, said it was his belief that stopping him from crossing a line, I don't know man I don't get it."
Harry shrugged, "Honestly, I think it's the way he has been raised, I mean I don't know much about religion and I could have sworn I heard him praying quietly but I think I caught him once or twice praying alone."
Norman rolled his eyes, 'How pathetic a young man brainwashed to be relying on a 'god'. A man has to be tough and its survival of the fittest in this world. There was no god that helped him get through the tough times, it was all me I did it without the help of a deity only a man can define his roots.'
Kong scratched his chin, "Is he that religious? Man, we live in the 21st century and he's praying to some invisible godfather?"
"Don't be making fun of people because of their beliefs." Harry stated, "Still if what you say is true then there's something very different about Peter I don't know what it is and I've known him for a very long since we were in middle school, he's smart but shy..." Harry mutters quietly, "Yet this new boldness that he has when he got bitten by that spider, is he letting it go to his head?"
This piqued the older gentleman's interest since the other boy couldn't hear his son, 'Well, well, well, so this Parker was at the expo and was bitten by a spider…and recently this Spider-Man shows up is there a connection between the two?' Norman decides to confront his son, "Harry…"
Both boys look at the door to the kitchen where Norman is in a white shirt and black pants with his tie undone, "Yeah dad…"
"Harry since you are friends with this Peter Parker, I want to meet this boy so why don't you bring him over to the lab after school tomorrow to give him the grand tour. Do you think he'll like that?"
Harry brows raise in surprise, "Are you kidding me, dad? He'll love that…"
Norman nods his head heading back the way he came, "Good I hope to see you there as well he might learn something from you as well."
"Umm…okay…"
Norman walks away to his studies, "I wonder if this Spider-Man is the same boy who befriended my son."
It was early evening NYC
"You know you didn't have to come with me, Erika." Peter said as his passenger hung on for dear life, "Finding the Vulture is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Oh, on the contrary, my beloved I want to spend as much time with you as possible." She said resting her head on his back, "You had a chance with Cindy the night you went on patrol but now you get to go with me."
Peter rolled his eyes, he'll give her credit she's persistent to try to make him her boyfriend. He felt her tighten her grip on him, "Well just stay close to me and you'll be fine."
"I intended to." She purred, he shuddered her breath was near his ear
'Have mercy on my soul that I may not take her now. Don't allow me to cross the line oh God of this universe or else I am the hypocrite.' He swallowed dryly
He lands on a building where CEO's are having a meeting they are surprised to see the wall-crawler climb the side of the building to the rooftop, "Well this should be high enough to get a good view of everything."
He unties the web that held the amnestic assassin around his waist. He sat on the ledge with her following suit looking at the skylines of lights that are coming from the different buildings.
"It's beautiful tonight." She said scooting over to him
"It is…" He responded
The girl walks her fingers towards his intertwining slowly, Peter allows it as she lays her head on his shoulder.
"You are not going say anything about this?" She asks allowing the breeze to caress her face
"I don't mind as long it stays PG, besides I want to enjoy the scenario a little while longer before we have to find old buzzer breath." She nods her head as the two remain in comfortable silence, "By the way you got my camera?"
"Hmmm." She opens a backpack after letting him go, "Right here."
"Good…Spider-sense!"
"What…ooof…" Erika is knocked off the ledge screaming for dear life as she plummets to the ground
"Elektra!" Peter momentary looks up to see the old man smiling wickedly at him, "I'll deal with you later."
He dives after her free-falling quickly, Erika has fear in her eyes, as she sees her life flashing before her eyes, "SPIDER-MAN HELP ME!"
Peter was within distance reach, he spins two web lines allowing him to reach her a little more closely, he looks at the pavement; they only moments before impact, pushing the feeling of fear behind him he reaches for her and wraps her in a bear hug spinning a web as they fly over the busy street of Tribeca. Like Tarzan, he swings upward to the skyscrapers landing on another building, within his arms Erika is shaken but nonetheless fine.
Grabbing her shoulders he inspected her she was…she was…was…laughing?
"Ha…ha…ha…hahahahahahahaha….Oh, my goodness that was quite exhilarating."
"You almost died and you think that was funny?" He couldn't believe it, 'Are all the Marvels girls adrenaline junkies?'
"Pe…Spider-man I don't understand you saved my life what's the big deal?"
"I can't stand people dying in front of me or when I hear about it…" He said solemnly, "I know death is a part of life and we all have an appointed time go but me I can't stand it, it grieves me in my heart."
She cupped his chin, "Hey you saved me that all that matters and imagine how many others you are going to help, you saved a life today and for that I'm grateful…my hero…" She gives him a quick peck on the cheeks
He clears his throat, "Stay here I got to deal with old beak head before I lose him."
He takes the camera lifted his mask up, Erika question what he is going to do to her surprised he claims her lips, she is left stunned, then smiles as he swings away, 'Maybe just maybe I can get him to be mine.'
He swings off leaving Erika on the building.
"Alright, where is the old buzzard brain?"
"Looking for me wall-crawler?"
"Huh…" Spider-Man reaches for the camera it flashes to life several times as two feet crash into his face, Vulture grabs him midair by the ankle perching on his shoulders, "Well, well, well, this is the Amazing Spider-Man or was it the Spectacular Spider-Man?" With his foe over his shoulders he flies over the night sky, "I think I prefer the 'Insubstantial' Spider-Man." He spots a water tank on one of the buildings, "Or is it the 'Unguarded' Spider-Man or is it simply the overrated."
He drops the dazed hero towards the tank with a smile, "Tally-ho good fellow."
When he hits the water Peter is taken out of his daze, "What the-? Where?! What just happened?" He looks to the hole the moonlight is shining through, "The son of gun dropped me in a tank filled with water?" He looks towards the audience, "Of course you realize this means war! As soon as I get out here..."
As he climbs out of the tank he drums the broken opening, "Some superhero I turning out to be…I just got my tail whooped by an old fragile senior citizen wearing wings, how embarrassing well at least Cindy wasn't here to rub it in my face."
"Oh, I beg to differ…" A voice sing sang
He sighs, "How much of that did you see?"
"The part you got dropped in the water and I was laughing like a hyena."
"You are never going let me live it down are you?"
"Nope…ow!" Cindy throws a glare towards Erika, "What the heck!"
"Look things happen alright, we make mistakes." The assassin said she turns worrying towards the young man, "Are you alright Peter?"
"I'm fine just a little shaken up, how's the camera? We might get some decent pictures."
Cindy mutters, she turns around not wanting to see Peter being cuddled by this woman in front of her, Peter notices and realize that she being jealous though was it pheromones taking over or not was the question.
"Let's just get home and make sure…did you hear that?"
Cindy ears perk up, "Yeah I heard it…"
"Heard what?"
"Shh…shh…listen…"
BOOM
"Okay, that one I heard." The three teens looked in the east direction to see smoke rising from a building not too far away.
"Silk you take Erika home."
"Wait why me?" She snapped
"Because I'm going to check that out."
"Who made you the boss of me?"
"Since I decided to make the team on helping to fight the crime wave of New York City now please can you do it?" Spidey asked tossing the camera to her
"I want to gain just as much experience as you do so you take her back!"
Peter exhales sharply, he looks at Erika taking a few dollars out for her "Do you mind taking a cab?"
"Not all but next time I want a free ride home got it." She said pointing a finger at him, "Without Ms. Harmonia getting riled up."
"Erika, be nice and Silk let's go."
Once they dropped off their friend on the ground away from the incident a lot of people were running for cover as they noticed, Spider-Man was surveying his surroundings hoping to catch the criminals in the act after setting up the camera in the right spot. Instead, a taxi cab is sent hurling in the air thanks to another explosion the web crawler's spring into webbing the taxi suspending it in midair.
"Now who said that it was impossible to catch a taxi cab in New York?" Spidey quipped, "Anyone?" Silence greeted him since everyone was in a panic minus Cindy
"Must you make a joke now?" Silk pulls debris off a fallen an injured pedestrian
"No? Too soon? Man, where is the sense of humor? It has certainly dropped much lately." Speaking with his usual joking tone
"Too soon…Spidey…to drop..." She said handing the victim over to other people,
"Drop this, a**-hat!" a female voice yelled as a blast of some kind of energy was fired at him from within the building.
Spider-Man dodged the attack by backflipping twice and took a fighting stance for the next attack. That was when Spider-Man got a good look who it was that was robbing the jewelry store. It was two women and judging by the apparent age difference and similarities, with the same matching outfits that showed off their feminine curves, one was the mother and the other was the daughter. This idea was enforced when the older of the two told the younger to stay close to her.
"I know Mother!" the younger girl said, drawing out the word 'mother' to show her annoyance.
Peter recognizes them immediately, 'The Bombshells!? Did I fall into the twilight zone of the Ultimate universe or is this not Earth-616?'
The oldest of the pair had long dark rather wavy hair and wore a mainly white coat over a skin-tight black and orange outfit with thigh-high dark red leather boots. The mask she had on barely covered her face. That and the fact her outfit easily showed her bust size was considerable for her slender and voluptuous figure.
The youngest of the pair wore a similar outfit but instead of a coat, she had on what looked like a cape. Overall, her outfit showed off more skin than her mother's. She wore a pair of shorts that could be barely called such as well also wearing thigh high boots. The upper half of her outfit also showed off her bust size which for her age was also considerable.
'Then again, there are some girls in the world that were more developed than others.' Clearing his throat he spoke, "By any chance, you girls wouldn't happen to be the Bombshells would you?"
The mother eyebrow was raised but the younger one responded; "Yeah, we're the Bombshells and we're going to f**** you're a** so bad you won't be able to s*** unless you have a tube!"
"Wow, a mother and daughter crime unit with matching uniforms and I heard people can't go without cussing in a single sentence but you young lady swear like a marine." Spidey laughs, "By any chance…"
BOOM
Spidey and Silk are both thrown back to the opposite sidewalk yet not before hitting a wall then landing face first.
"What the heck was that?" Cindy ask rubbing her head
"Some sort of energy attack." He responded shaking his head
"Here's another one for you a******e!"
"How do we beat them?" Silk ask
"Separate them I'll explain later." Both spiders dodge the incoming blast
Spidey and Silk jump from one car to the other as the mother-daughter duo tries to hit them yet with no luck. Timing it right he sticks to web lines to the ground which pulls him back before launching him forward towards the older Bombshell.
The mother is sprayed with webbing to the eyes blinding her, she yelps dropping the bag full of money to pry off the sticky substance from her face. Spidey then web-swings away with her in tow so neither of the women is close to each other to use their powers.
"Mom! You son of…."
"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to curse?" The younger girl is knocked back by Silk from a flying punch to the face, she is sent flying 30 feet away.
The girl rubs her cheek, she screams in rage as she charges with a fist in the air ready to strike but one problem accord, as she tries to punch Silk no energy charge was present. To enrage to notice she starts swinging hooks at the girl who dodges with ease, "RAHH! You B**** I'm going to fu…HMMPH!"
Cindy webs her mouth shut, "Would you just shut up with the cursing? Really, you sound like a sailor." The Asian girl grabs the other girl's wrists twisting it behind her back hard.
Despite being gagged with the web on her mouth explicit words were said to Silk, "GUH HHUH UUH UF MU MUUHH!" Immediate but not enough to truly silence the angered energy wielding girl. "Ufh'muh ghuuhngh mu pfmhu FUM HHUH!"
"The answer to all of that is 'I don't think so'." Silk waited patiently for Spider-Man to arrive back
"F***** UUUUU!" Although her words are garbled underneath the gag, Silk can understand enough of what was being implied.
"You would like that wouldn't you."
"Alright, I'm back!" Spider-Man came back though keeping a fair distance between them with the mother over his shoulder squirming tied from shoulders to the ankles with some webbing leaving spacing in between as well as gagged.
"What the heck took you so long?" Silk commented
"This one was feisty that's all I can say after we fought on the roof, I got to say she has one heck of a right hook "…Ow…" Spidey rubbed his jaw it still stung
"So what now?"
"Leave them for the police but keep them separated, their powers only work when they are close to each other isn't that right Lori and Lana Baumgartner."
The two of them looked at the wall-crawler in surprise since he knew their alias, even Silk couldn't understand how he knew. After leaving them hung upside down on different lamppost on the opposite of the street they left a note on both of them for the police.
Cindy web swung a bit further from Peter question forming in her head, 'How did he know what to do? Peter, what are you hiding from me? In fact all this time you've been directing us the way you want us why?'
Ezekiel underwent some form of ritual which granted him the powers of a Spider-Totem. Upon being granted these powers, he set about amassing a fortune. He soon learned that being totemic in nature, he would be beset by those of orders higher up the totemic hierarchy.
One of these beings, Morlun an Inheritor, would become something of a nemesis to him, and Ezekiel began to take steps to gather all the information the could on Morlun to protect the future generations of Spider-Totems, paying for bunkers to be constructed which would block out anyone who could find those with ties to the totem-order. Ezekiel also became a member of the Spider Society, helping found Web Corps to serve as a front while hiding the true agenda that he had, saving the most important totemic hierarchy; the Spider-Bride.
It has become his life mission to save the appearance of random spider bitten beings, Ezekiel contacted her family in order for him to train her in the use of her powers until he realized that Morlun was tracking her one day. He needs to lock her away in one of his special rooms at the bottom of his tower to protect her from the Devourer of Totems if she dies that will be it for any more chances any other spiders to awaken.
He had to get her no matter the cost, even if he had to use his own powers to drag her with him. He looked outside it was a calm night in Forest hills neighborhood, he sighed heavily he hoped that these people would listen to reason as he arrived at the Parker's home
