Chapter 2: Waking up a year later
Baxter Building August 20, 2014 One year later
'My head…ugh…anyone catch the number of that train that hit me…' His ears twitched at the expense of a sound
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
'Great Lady Gaga or lady gag I'm so sick and tired of hearing this song though the music is very catchy I won't lie.'
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
"Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm turn off that racket or I swear I will throw that annoying I-device in the trash where it belongs!" The voice belonged to none other than Susan Richards one of the members of the Fantastic Four as well as wife to none other than the leader to Reed Richards
"Come on Sue you don't see me complaining when you have your music on especially when you have karaoke night, why can't I have my besides Peter likes this song."
"First of all, you give complain about every single thing and how do you even know that Peter likes this song?"
"I saw his Facebook status, said that the music was catchy." Johnny sang along with the music, Sue massaged her forehead from an oncoming headache that was about to take place that was the case until a certain brown-haired superhero out of costume woke up.
"Oh my…" Gasped Susan from a behind a glass window
"Where am I?" Peter mused
Johnny raced towards his best friend as Susan pressed the button of the intercom system, "Reed get down to the lab now, Peter just woke up!"
With that she ran towards where her brother was and handed a Peter a urination cup, "Peter I need you to urinate in this!"
"Sue now is the time to for that, he just woke up!" Johnny said slapping that thing away, "Pete how do you feel?"
"Johnny, I…"
"Are you okay? Do you feel any different because you look different?" the Blonde haired woman took a flash-pen shone it at his eyes, "Pupils dilate normally."
"Look Susan I feel…"
He was interrupted by Johnny once again, "Dude do you know how long you were out?"
"Johnny save it and wait for when Reed gets here, he'll explain the situation once he gets here." Susan stated checking Peter pulse.
"Uh Guys?"
"He needs to know!" The younger Storm said
"Wait for Reed!" His sister countered
"Guys?" Again he was ignored by the bickering of the two siblings and he was getting very fed up it with. 'It's bad enough that I get ranted about by Jolly Jonah but here? I don't think so, I need to know what happened to me and how long was I out for.'
"GUYS!" The Storm siblings shut their mouths as they turned their attention towards the city hero, "What the heck is going on here? You act like I just died or something."
Before the two opened their mouths to talk Reed cutting them off from speech, "That's the thing is Peter you did die a couple of times on us."
All six pairs of eyes turned to the leader of the Fantastic Four as he walked in with his white lab coat on his unstable molecule F4 suit, "Welcome back to the land of the living Mr. Parker. You had us worried that you did my boy, that you did."
"Umm…should I be worried or should I call a doctor oh wait you already here." Peter chuckled, Reed raised a brow not amused at all, "And seriously how long was I out for?"
"One year."
Peter blinked, then he started to laugh hysterically, "That's a good one…stretch…You're pulling my leg Reed…seriously…"
Reed gave him a look, Peter completely went frigid, "Y-you're not joking are you?" Reed continued to stare with a complete seriousness written in his face.
Peter swallowed, placing his head in between his hands if he was out for a whole year what had happened to Aunt May? Was she worried? Did anyone let her know? What did he miss when he was out? What about his job?
As if Reed read his mind, "This is going to be a tough pill to swallow but Nick Fury told your Aunt the truth the whole truth, your aunt knows who you are Peter. She says that she already suspected but just couldn't believe it."
Peter's eyes went wide, he was going to freak out when he saw the gleam in Reeds eyes, "You…ass…you lied…"
"Oh snap! Reed just pulled dark humor on Peter! The world is ending soon!" Johnny laughed patting his best friend on the back, "Man Pete you should've seen the look on your face…priceless!"
"Can it match sticks before I goop your hair in web fluid!"
"You forget web head I'm web-proof! I can easily get of any sticky situation that you can throw at me so I dare you to throw that sticky substance at me come on I'm waiting for it!"
"That what she said." Came the reply
Johnny mouth hung wide open before turning it into a slight smirk. Peter had a smug look on his face knowing that anything else the younger Storm had to say further will earn him a smack from his older sister. The other Storm sibling rolled her eyes, 'Sometimes' she thought, 'Those two are so immature…'
"Well played Parker, well played…" In the back of his mind he vowed to get him back for that. Right now Reed broke the two from further dirty comments focusing the attention back to him.
"If you two are done being dirty minded I would like to explain the situation here. Look Peter the reality is while you were in a coma S.H.I.E.L.D managed to make a duplicate of you…"
Reed explained that S.H.I.E.L.D had come up with a robot that would not only do Peter normal job as a photographer but his normal life routine as well so the brains of the FF told him that the higher ups had to have a DNA sample via blood to inject into the robot duplicate created by the Vision by request of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peter questioned who was protecting the streets of New York besides the street levels heroes such as Iron fist, Luke Cage, Daredevil etc. for they could do so much.
The response Kaine was called from Texas to take over temporary as he recovered, Peter nodded at this. He was glad to hear that his brother had taken the time out of his life down in Houston to come up and help his city. He'll have to find of a way to show the appreciation for this favor that Kaine was doing.
"So I guess that's about it in what I have to tell you, so any more questions you have in mind Mr. Parker or would that be all you like to know?" Reed stated
"Well no but…actually yes I have two where my costume and what happen to the team that I was on the mission?"
Reed bit his lips, "If you turn your attention to the left the second containment unit on the right next to the power amplifier you find your costume has well…um…significate changes to it Peter so I warning you now what you see will leave you speechless and don't ask why I it quarantine either."
"What?" Peter looked to his left and his eyes popped out of his socket, "What the heck is that?"
"Your costume."
Peter couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it, there staring back at him as he was helped to be placed in front the container which had a transparency cover allowing him to see was a not his suit but a white, navy blue with white dots that were connected with each other that extended from the torso to the arms, it also looked like it had a universe in it, spandex suit.
"I ran some test and everything was negative on your suit…it…just simply changed however I obviously did run some test on you and boy let me tell you the energy radiating off from you was enormous. You literally fried my computers Peter…"
"Umm I'm sorry?" Peter was still dumbfounded about his Spidey suit
"I don't know what's happening to you, you could be dying for all we know the only thing I know for certain is that your body is radiating cosmic energy."
Peter eyes snapped back to Reed, "You mean to tell me that I have power cosmic like Silver Surfer?"
"We don't know, that why I have to run test…"
"Stop right there!" Reed was taken aback from his friend's outburst, "If you think I'm going to be a science guinea pig again you Mister Fantastic are sadly mistaken! I refuse to be cope up in a laboratory any further than I needed to be, you have my thanks for taken care of me over the year but test as in science experimentation I will not do, I've been cloned a bunch of times and look how that turned out."
"Peter please listen to reason…"
"Not happening!" Peter suddenly got up like nothing was wrong with him which was clearly the case, "Thank you all of you for taking care of me but I need to go save a city and that poor damsel in distress, so if you don't mind I definitely like to change, please."
"Peter we don't know what's going to happen please, I strongly recommend as a friend that you stay." Reed pleaded
"Reed thank you but no."
"Alright don't say I didn't warn you Spidey." Reed sighed signaling to the other two to go
"Reed whatever happens I'll take care of it."
"Alright, good luck Spidey, you're going to need it." With that Reed left the young man alone to change into his costume if that's what you wanted to call it. After a few moments Peter said his goodbye to his friends he left. Reed stood out the window watching the web-slinger swinging in distance as his figure got smaller.
"You think it was a good idea to let him go?" Susan asked coming up to him while placing a hand on her husband chest leaning her head on his shoulder.
"He stubborn at times I admit but I can't force him Sue." Reed pulled his wife closer to him by the waist, "He'll need to learn that this is not a joke and when he realizes that it isn't, well we'll try to help him as best we can."
"Hmm…"
Then Reed remembered something after a few moments of silence, "Shoot!"
"What! What is it Reed?"
"I've forgotten to tell Peter the condition of Team he was with a Year ago."
Sue looked at him blankly, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, "You forgot? Johnny was right the world must be ending if you forgot."
Susan laughed as her husband sent her a glare, "Very funny."
Meanwhile swinging across the city
'I know Reed means well but being stuck in a lab isn't my idea of fun.' Peter shuddered at the thoughts at the times he has been used especially during the clone wars as he dubbed it, 'Like I told him whatever happens I'll deal with it besides there isn't anything that hasn't stopped me before right? Ugh, what am I thinking? I should've stayed at least to…'
His thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of police sirens, "Ah music to my ears time to do that hero thing Spidey!"
Peter didn't know what happened next because he could have sworn he heard clearly the transmission from the air, "Attention all units, Attention all units, we got a bank robbery on going on 33 Liberty Street down in Manhattan be on the look for Rhino he's on rampage, proceed with extreme caution."
"Rhino eh? Now how is the jolly giant these days? It'll be like a reunion." Peter chuckled, "Rhino watch yourself The Amazing Spider-Man is back in town!"
LXD: Happy New Year too all you readers, I know I suck at leaving with only a prologue and the first chapter, it's a short chapter I know but hey life comes first so I apologize for delaying to get this up and loaded. Well Peter woke up from his long nap and is slowly but surely developing his cosmic powers this is only a small taste of what's to come in future chapters, so hopefully it was worth the wait. Anyway stayed tuned to find out what happens next, comment, rate, subscribe, till then…
