Author's Note: I know this one hasn't been updated in quite some time. They took the series off of Netflix, at least the seasons I need. So from here on out (at least for the rest of this story) this will be me playing it by ear. So I will most likely be flubbing dialogue here and might be missing a few scenes but it's pretty straightforward from here. But here is more of this story. I own nothing.
11. Meeting The Others
Piper screamed holding onto the bike for dear life. She was too high up to swing onto any buildings and just watch the bike fall. Besides that might put some pedestrians in danger, and her gathered momentum was likely to rip her arms off. So no good prospects. The screen in front of her lit back up and displayed Nick Fury's face.
"Kid." Piper smiled under her mask but only a little.
"Hey Nick, bit busy falling to my death right now, can I call you later?" He rolled his eye at her.
"That button with the web icon, punch it and hang on." Spidey sighed.
"Well not much else to do, might as well." She slammed a finger into the web icon on the screen and the bike shot out two lines of web, well now she was uncontrollably careening forward instead of falling. This was slightly better. Before she could ask Nick began explaining the gizmo that had saved her from a very messy accident on the sidewalk below.
"That's the web track feature. Internal GPS targets the best places to shoot it."
"As awesome and amazing as that is I am rapidly running out of room here." Nick Fury smiled.
"Hit the thrust button." Piper raised an eyebrow but there wasn't much she could do but obey. She slammed her finger into the button that looked like the cheesy flames painted on sports cars and held on tighter as the bike rocketed off of the web-line onto a building where it continued forward with no problems at all. Piper was incredulous.
"You know this is impossible right?" The screen in front of her flickered and Fury's face was replaced by the face of Dr. Conner's.
"I've engineered the bike to ride smoothly at any angle. Try it again." Piper smiled and jumped the bike from the building she was on over to a nearby Bugeltron billboard. She dragged the back wheel of the bike across the screen leaving a burn in the shape of a curly villain mustache before jumping the bike back over to another building. She knew it was immature but it felt pretty good, though she'd be getting an earful from Uncle Steve later. But she didn't have a whole lot of time to linger on that as the bike continued to run as if it had a mind of its own racing down the side of a building and out into traffic.
"What's the matter with you, kid, you act like you've never driven before." Piper laughed sheepishly as she steered the bike around cars and up the underside of an overpass.
"I don't even have a permit. Think about it for a minute! I get driven almost everywhere, besides its New York. Who needs a car?" She just managed to leap over a school bus full of kids before she saw the construction site.
"Oh come on!" The screen on the bike flashed and Piper glanced around ensuring that there wasn't anyone in the vicinity to be hurt if the bike hit the large truck that she was rapidly approaching. There was no one there so she flipped off the bike into the air, intending to land safely on the ground. However, something swooped out of thin air and caught her bridal style.
"Hey!" Whoever this boy was he was wearing a blue suit with gold accents and what appeared to be a golden bucket on his head.
"Put me down Bucket head!" Spidey would have bet money the boy under the bucket was rolling his eyes even if she couldn't hear it.
"Chill out Preschool, we'll take it from here." Spidey looked down as she realized he'd said we. There were indeed other teens on the scene now, a girl in a white cat suit leaped from the top of the truck to the motorcycle and steering it away from the collision as a boy in yellow lifted the truck out of her way. A boy in a green skintight suit with a black dragon on the chest and a gold mask hiding his face stepped forward and placed his foot on the front tire of the bike and smiled up at them as the boy in the bucket set Spidey back on her feet. He landed next to the others.
"Look I appreciate the hand but I honestly didn't need it, I had this under control. Who are you guys anyway?" Spidey said brushing herself off. The boy in green placed his fist against the open palm of his other hand then he bowed slightly.
"Iron fist, Namaste. Kung Fu master with fist of, well, iron." Before Spidey could talk the other girl stepped up to her guiding the bike.
"White Tiger, acrobatic ninja with steel claws and cat powers." Spidey nodded slightly and opened her mouth to speak but the girl, Whit Tiger, just kept taking.
"The big guy here is Luke Ca…" He interrupted her.
"Power man, if she calls herself Spidergirl I'm calling myself Power man. It's cool and doesn't scream I have low self-esteem." Spidey couldn't help but feel like she'd been insulted but she let him continue as the others had.
"Super strength and bulletproof skin." White Tiger sounded sarcastic as she spoke again.
"Ok Power Man." Spidey nodded at the girl.
"And I've already met Captain bucket head." Though she couldn't see his eyes she could tell by his voice that his eyes were narrowed under his bucket.
"Name's Nova. The human rocket." There was an awkward silence.
"Well, ok… Nice to meet you guys and all but I gotta get this bike back to SHIELD." Power man grinned slightly.
"Small world." Glancing over at Nova Spidey saw he was wearing a grin that could only be described as shit eating.
"Oh no."
