Chapter 4: Misused Power
Several Months Later…
To this day Peter regretted shooting Quentin Beck, and not stopping him at the arena. It haunts his dreams, and his waking moments. But, he always remembered Uncle Ben's warning words, 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.'
He abused it, and he misused his powers. Now Peter fights crime for the common people under his alternate identity…Spider-man!
"Help someone stole my purse!" yelled an old woman.
There was a man in black running away from her. Then Spider-man replied, "I'll get it for you!"
He shot several webs at the man in back. One hit his foot he tripped. Then Spider-man landed next to him.
"No don't Spider-man!" he yelled. Then Peter socked him in the face. The man fell unconscious.
He picked up the purse and brought it back to the old lady, "Here you are ma'am!"
"Thanks Spooder Man," she said.
Peter gave a quizzical look and swung away on a web. He did a couple flips and landed in an alley near by his house. He changed to street clothes and walked home.
"Peter your home! You had me worried, with people like this Spider-man running around," she said.
"It's fine May," he said.
At the Oscorp Laboratories…
Herman was putting on his gear. He finished putting it on and said; "There is more that one use for these babies!"
He walked out of the building and pressed a button on the arm. The boots started shooting powerful sound waves, but in a localized area. He flew into the air.
"Let's go to the bank," he grinned to himself.
Herman flew down on top of a building. He pressed a few buttons on his arm gear, a screen appeared on it.
"The money should be here," he said pointing at the screen. He aimed an arm gadget at the roof and shot.
It opened up he flew in and grabbed a few bags of money.
He launched out…
The Next Day…
"A man everyone is calling The Shocker has been robbing banks," said the newscaster, "He wears a helmet of some sort so no one knows who he is, if you have any information call the police."
'This guy must have stolen Dr. Schultz machinery,' thought Peter as he passed by the television.
He walked outside and strapped on his web shooters. He started to swing to school. But now he was being discreet keeping out of site from people and vehicles.
He got to school and took off his shooters. He stuffed them into his backpack and walked in. Flash was walking around with his cast on, accompanied by Kong, and a few other kids.
Harry, and MJ walked over.
"Hey Peter we better head to class, Connors will be pissed if we don't," said Harry.
They walked to Dr. Connors class. They arrived in class, and sat down in the back.
"Okay class I want you to continue writing your paper about the outbursts of technology as of recent," said Dr. Connors, "I hope to see some about the Oscorp Laboratories."
Later on after school…
Peter was swinging home, 'That paper sure was hard but I finished.'
He was in his Spider-man costume as to get his crime fighting of the day done. He did a few flips and some amazing acrobatics. But as he swung he saw a man on the roof of a bank, 'That Shocker Guy' he though.
He shot a web in that direction and zoomed at him. He landed on the ground next to him, "Stop there Shocker!"
"Spider-man!" he yelled.
The voice sounded familiar to Peter but he couldn't put a finger on it. The man shot a sound wave at him, Peter got knocked backwards quite a ways.
Then he flipped back onto his feet and jumped at Shocker, "Your name should be The Vibrator!"
He punched him in the face but the helmet kept Shocker from being harmed. But it did knock him on his back. Peter came in for another punch but Shocker raised a leg. He pressed a button on his arm.
The strong sound wave shot out and hit Peter. He was flipped into the air, Peter shot to webs to either side of Shocker and pulled in.
"Here's Johnny!" he exclaimed as he kicked Shocker in the gut.
Shocker was holding his stomach but he held out one arm, there was a trigger of some sort on it he pressed a button and pulled the trigger. Three Sound waves arced from the arm and hit Peter. He fell over.
Shocker ran over and pointed his arm to Peter's face, "Give me a reason not to!"
"Umm…I don't wear insulation?" said Peter he was looking at the insulated parts of his costume. Any part that was bare or right next to an arm or leg machine.
He grabbed Shockers helmet and ripped it off. Then he webbed his feet and arm machinery.
"Don't even try to shoot," said Peter, "That should blow it up."
Then he saw who it was, it was Herman Schultz.
"Dr. Schultz?" he questioned.
"Yeah its me," he said.
"How did you…how did you get permission to build these," he was looking at the webbed up Shockers.
"You know what?" he said, "I'm not telling!"
He spat at Spider-man's feet.
"Well if that's how you feel," said Peter.
He picked up Herman and started swinging to the police station. He landed out front and webbed Herman up a bit more. Then carried him inside.
"I have the Shocker," he said to the guy at the counter.
"Oh hey its Spider-man again," he laughed, "Hand 'im over to Jeane De' Wolfe."
Then Jeane De' Wolfe walked over, "Thanks Spider-man, we had no leads on this Shocker fellow."
She removed the Shocker gear and cuffed him, "You can go on ahead webhead."
Then Peter left and swung away.
Then officer De' Wolfe brought Shocker into an interrogation room.
"How did you get away with these crimes?" asked Officer De' Wolfe.
"I said the purpose of the project was for a demolition assistance tool," said Herman Schultz, "But I in reality built the equipment for bank robberies."
"That's all I needed to hear," said Officer De' Wolfe, "Take him away!"
Back at the Parker household…
Peter landed out behind the house. He changed into street clothes and walked in.
"Peter, I wish you would get home earlier," said Aunt May.
"I'll try Aunt May," he said and he looked over to the clock it said '7:24'
At the Oscorp Laboratories…
Dr. Octavius was working on his machine that should pass through organisms and harm unorganic objects. He set it up to aim, and he set another spider in the path of the beam, with a metal arm. He started it up and it started to countdown to firing.
But the spider leapt out of the way. He ran over to pick it up but the beam fired and he was struck. He fell unconscious; little did he know something very strange was happening to him.
The arms fused to him in more than one way!
