Chapter 14: Web Failure

Oh nononononono…

Spider Man kept on falling and falling. His fear was always plunging down to the streets without his webs to save him but now that is actually happening, he was clinging on for dear life. It was now where Peter realized all Tony wanted to do was to protect him from having himself killed but Peter was being stubborn.

By now, he was half way down the endless fall until without a warning, something came in, being attracted to Peter like a magnet.

"What the?"

There, on his arm, was a piece of armory that was attached. One by one, the same pieces for different parts came, all of them being latched on to Peter. Finally, the final part of the suit came which was the mask that got onto Peter's head and the glowing eyes became activated. Even though the parts came, Peter let out another scream as he realized that he had no idea how to control the familiar suit.

"Activate! Activate!" Peter shouted in hopes that it would be powered on. He shut his eyes tight but at the last moment, before he could even reach the ground, all of a sudden, the suit released its engines that came from the feet and the hands which made Peter hovering above the ground before the machine, as though it had a mind of its own, flew back up in the air, having Peter give out a yell from the last minute saving.

"Wow," Peter breathed as he ran his hand over his other hand. "This is awesome!"

"Greetings, young Mr. Parker. I am known as Jarvis," a computerized voice came. Peter looked around, trying to find the source. "You cannot see me physically as I am computerized, a core membrane that has been built inside the machine to help aide Mr. Stark. Due to troubled circumstances, Mr. Stark couldn't come to aide you."

Peter fidgeted until a sudden thought came to his mind. "Wait…then where did he get this suit then?"

"I'm afraid that's classified."

"So…where's he now?"

"I'm afraid that's classified as well."

"Is there anything that's not classified?" Peter asked annoyed.

"Mr. Stark wishes you a safe journey while you are operating this suit. And he hopes that you wouldn't be killed."

"Thanks for the moral support. But what do you mean I'm going to operate this suit?!" he exclaimed.

Peter stumbled in the air as he lost his balance.

"Do not worry. I'll always be beside you," Jarvis spoke in a reassuring voice.

Fantastic.

"In the absence of Tony Stark, he has enlisted me to teach you how to use the suit even if it's only for temporary."

"Wait, temporary?"

"That information is also—"

"Lemme guess. Classified?"

"Indeed. And in this short lesson, he also advised should the situation be dire, I would have complete control as to prevent you from doing something stupid."

"Say what now?"

"Right then, young Mr. Parker. Shall we get started?"

"Right. Fine…" Peter grumbled.

"Alright. For your first lesson, I want you to be familiarized with the suit and then I want you to activate the repulsors by yourself, understood?"

"Sure…"

"Right then. Let's get started."

All of a sudden, the repulsors got cut off which made Peter's eyes go wide.

"Wait! You didn't give me a warning—ARGH!" Peter screamed as he continued to fall. For the first few seconds, Peter struggled to get them activated since all they gave out were a few sparks.

Tony and his brilliant ideas…

After the third try, Peter finally managed to have them powered on and as he did, he gave an exclaim of shout, zooming past by the cars before he swerved towards the sky.

"YEAH" Peter shouted.

"Excellent, Mr. Parker. Now then, your next step is to be familiarized with the machine and its surroundings."

Almost instantly, there were beeps going around the screen, slightly illuminating his face from the bright lights.

"Find the Wizard, Bentley Wittman."

"Mr. Parker, I'm under the impression that you are seeking revenge against this adversary. I highly suggest you ignore your negative emotions and focus on doing what's right."

"Just find him!" Peter yelled. "He's done enough harm as it is."

"I have been warned that this would happen—"

"Jarvis…just do it! Please."

If a computerized voice could sigh, Peter thought Jarvis would've done it already.

"As you wish, Mr. Parker…scanning…"

Peter stared at the screen as he saw the coordinates being gathered. The data was found and Jarvis spoke.

"Location found…fifteen miles east from here…"

Peter's eyes wide as he realized what the place was. "Wait…that's the Queensboro Bridge!"

Eyes narrowed, Peter let out a full blast of the repulsors ad he zoomed forward, heading to the destination. Once he got there, he resumed scanning the bridge so he could pinpoint the location of the Wizard.

"Target found."

Growling, Peter zoomed towards him while Jarvis, trying to change his mind though Peter ignored him. As he came closer to the Wizard, Peter glared at the enemy who was flying above the bridge's weak point, ready to strike.

However, Peter fired the repulsor which narrowly missed the Wizard.

Raising an eyebrow, the Wizard turned around only to sneer when he saw who it was. At least he thought it was him.

"Well, if it isn't the big boss. How do you do? Word got out that I destroyed your son?" he smirked.

"Slight problem, Wittman. I'm still me."

The Wizard felt his throat go dry, eyes wide with rage.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" he screamed with fury.

Peter sneered. "Funny how I'm not."

Furious, the Wizard shot out his powers in attempt to literally destroy him. If he has to destroy the suit then so be it. Peter avoided it and he flew towards him as he fired the machine's power. From below, the two of them looked like fireworks as they were both sending out beams of energy from almost every direction.

"Please, Mr. Parker. This isn't what Tony would want. You're better than this. Don't let revenge consume you. You're better than this."

"He hurts my friends, injured the ones who were closer to me!" Peter exclaimed, firing yet again. "He nearly killed me!"

"Then you give me no choice…"

Eyes set on the target, Peter flew towards the Wizard who threw energy bolts but Peter dodged it. However, that made Peter turn around as he saw where the power was headed.

"Oh nonono..."

He quickly swerved around as he hoped that he could reach there in time but he was too late since the blast struck the bridge, having the ropes to be destroyed upon the impact. The metals groaned from the hit and the sound of the cables being de-attached was heard which made Peter panic and the lights that were on the bridge went out.

Crap, crap, crap.

"NO!"

Peter grabbed both of the cables just in time but despite the fact that he had inhuman strength, it was nearly impossible for Peter to hold the bridge alone. Laughing, the Wizard started to fire his attack again.

"Reporting multiple systems failure. If you keep this up, you would not be able to make it."

Almost instantly, Peter thought up of an idea while the screen was going haywire. He could even feel the machine being short-circuited from losing power.

"Wait. I've got an idea."

Blinded by victory, the Wizard released his power. "Tonight, we're going to see some fireworks!" and then the Wizard released his electric power though that made Peter smirk.

"Bad move, Wittman."

And then, Peter allowed the ball of electricity to zap the cables but in doing so, it continued to fire the machine. Ignoring it, Peter struggled to bring the other cable closer and for a brief minute, the whole bridge went out and down below was chaos. Cars stopped halfway of the road as they were moved around due to the bridge being broken. And then, in a second, the bridge lit up again while the suit went back online again. Surprisingly, the structure was holding out well even if Peter made a temporary adjustment to it though of course, things would've been a bit more simple if he had his web powers...

"Now, it's my turn," Peter spoke as his glowing eyes stared down at the Wizard.

"You don't scare me."

Peter flew away from the cables and delivered a blow which made the Wizard fly back before he stopped himself. Furious, Wittman released his own power yet again and so did Peter.

However, the two of them fired their beams at the same time which caused a huge cloud of smoke to appear. Without losing a second, Peter flew into the smoke and tackled the Wizard and the two were sent twirling around the air, both of them were trying to get rid of one another until finally, they crashed down at the ground which startled the citizens who were nearby. The oncoming cars screeched to a halt as they swerved to the side from the unexpected smash.

The Wizard looked at one of his gloves and saw that it got destroyed from the impact. The other one looked somewhat damaged but it was still functional.

"You know…you're really becoming a nuisance…" the Wizard snarled heavily as he staggered up.

Peter struggled to get up and he slightly swayed to the side, trying to get himself in order.

"You're done…It's over…" Peter raised his hand to finish him but as he was about to fire, all of a sudden, the machine suddenly went berserk, letting out a small electrical current, giving Peter a small scream as he collapsed on his knees.

"I'm sorry but might I remind you, that I would have complete control if the situation got dire…"

"Jarvis…" Peter growled, realizing that he couldn't do anything. "Return my control…"

"I'm afraid that's not possible. You see, that suit…it belongs to me."

And then, parts of the machine got de-attached from Peter and they flew behind him. Peter turned around, watching the pieces flying to its original owner. There was Tony, now in the form of Iron Man, standing away from them.

"Well now…things should be interesting," the Wizard sneered.

"I'll take it from here. Peter, you go and save your friends," Iron Man spoke as he walked towards him.

"No. I've got this. I can handle it."

If Tony wasn't a wearing a mask, Peter would've seen the frighteningly glare that was upon his face.

"You listen to me," he said with a deadly voice. "Your web shooters are destroyed. You nearly got killed and you're too consumed by revenge. For once in your life, Parker, listen to others. Having powers doesn't make you a hero, Peter. It's what your actions that makes you a hero. It's why the people believe in you. They believe in you because you choose to do the right thing. Now go. Your friends need you."

Suddenly feeling that a new hope was rising in him, Peter instantly went to a sprint, going to the direction where his friends were located. As Peter was out of sight, Iron Man turned around and faced the Wizard.

"Now then…it's just you and me."

Peter was lucky enough that during their small fight, their flight wasn't that far from the construction site. Once there, Peter came to a halt and began to stare at his sand-covered friends only to have a thought hit him.

He had no idea how to get free them.

And if Tony was here, all he would say was "You're smart. Figure it out yourself."

Knowing that he had little time left, Peter gave a sharp look around the site before he spotted an object. With that thought in mind, Peter stuck his hand out, expecting to shoot his webs until he remembered that they got destroyed.

"Honestly, Wittman. You're a pain in the butt," Spider Man complained.

Huffing, Peter began to pry them out one by one.

"Come on…" he muttered.

Peter felt a small budge on Ned and resumed using his hands to dig him out. Despite the fact that this felt like glue, Peter used his strong inhuman strength to set him free. And then, Peter managed to get him out as he saw human parts that were no longer covered in sand. As Ned fell out, Peter fell down from losing his balance and Ned fell down which made Peter grunt from the impact.

"What the bloody hell happened?" Ned moaned.

"Would you really believe me that you got stuck to wall from sand?" Peter asked.

"In lights of recent events, I would say yeah…even though I don't remember what happened when we got caught."

"Ah…" Peter paused. "Now then. Mind getting off me?"

Ned blinked. "Uh, right. Right. You still got Michelle to save…"

Peter widened his eyes. "Wait…under any circumstances, you can't let Michelle know who I am. Treat me as how any other people would treat me in this form."

"Right. Got it."

And like before, Peter pulled Michelle out but he caught her just before she fell to the ground and Peter went on his knees.

Eventually, Michelle opened her eyes, still being groggy as though she went in an eternal sleep.

"Michelle!"

"Nu…you didn't try to kiss me, did you?"

"Well, if I did, you would've been woken up a long time ago."

Michelle pulled herself together only to realize who it was when she saw the familiar blue and red. Yelping, Michelle crawled backwards as she stared at him with wide eyes.

"Uh…uh…" she stammered, suddenly feeling her cheeks turning red.

"You're being red," Ned teased but that only made Michelle give him a death glare.

"It's Spider Man," Michelle replied with amazed. "I never saw you up close before."

"Well now you have. Right then, listen to me. I want you guys to get out of here. Go to safety and don't turn back."

"What happens to you?"

"I've got some unfinished business to do. Right then. Go."

Nodding, the two got up but just as did, the ground suddenly started to crawl backwards which dragged Michelle, earning exclaims from both of the boys. And then, the ground began to form to a humanoid creature, grabbing hold of Michelle in his arm.

"Sandman!" Peter shouted. "Let her go."

"So you managed to free them," his voice rumbled.

"Hey Sandy!" he turned to face Michelle who gave him the evil eye. "Put me down. Now."

"As you wish," instead of putting her down, he threw her which earned Michelle scream as she flew into the air…

Author's Note: Welp…at Ned and Michelle are still alive…right? This was a fun chapter to write ^^ andddd maybe we will see some Iron Man's actions ^^ because who doesn't want to see him kick ass? And I'm assuming that the bridge has lights during night...I researched to be sure and it looked like they did...I swear, it would've been a lot easier if I go on a small trip just to see how Queens look like...and I'm assuming that I had gotten the bridge's name right...But anyways, that will be it for this chapter but except one real soon! What happens next? Find out!
