Chapter 7: Test Part 2

Milky Way Galaxy

Surfer soared through space thinking and pondering. What was a mere being of power cosmic so suppose to say to this champion of Earth? Would they even believe him? He himself doubts that he could save the universe, "As all knowing Eternity and Infinity may be…I cannot help but doubt their belief in me…I do not feel like a universal champion. Rather I feel more Norrin Radd…a man who know his own short comings."

He looked seeing that he passed Saturn; he knew that was getting close to Earth, "If I am to use the power of Galactus to save all of creation…must I go to its very source to seek the aid of my former master?"

He looked around his surrounding; the universe seemed to be dimming a lot more than it should, time was running short! He would have to press forward to Earth before it was too late.

"I just hope whoever is the second champion will be kind enough to help…oh does my soul wonder what they would be like."


Earth Baxter Building Three weeks later 7:00 AM Tuesday

For the three weeks it was nonstop testing on how far Peter abilities went. So far Peter hadn't seen Carol Danvers yet however he had a feeling he will meet his probation officer very soon.

The F4 and sometimes Hank Pym with his wife Janet van Dyne Pym scratched their heads every time they thought they had a limit for Peter. He managed to keep breaking records of superheroes at an alarming rate. For instance in one test he was to circle the earth 300 hundred times, he did it in 1/60 of a second, Pym looked at his fellow Avengers, in disbelief when the clock stopped, he went back to his own lab to see what he can come up with to help out.

The machines groaned as Peter hand pushed upward with another behind his back, he tried with all his might trying to lift the object; he trembled while he did. Reed looked at his charts, his mind blown by the mere fact that Peter was doing heavy lifting, serious lifting for all that matter.

Last time he checked Peter could only lift 25 tons, which if converted to pounds was 50,000. Now it was double no quadruple no novemvigintuple the amount!

One more burst and suddenly the computer was on fire for the 20th time in the afternoon. Johnny calmed the flame by absorbing it, though he was paying more attention to the numbers rather then the equipment.

Susan looked at the young man pushing against the pipe, she said through the intercom, "Okay Peter stop! I don't think our computers are going to last any longer if you push more time."

They heard a small boom when he stopped, he turned to them sweating a bit from the hard strain he had given. All the machinery was sparking or smoking this was impossible even for their arachnid friend to do however he was doing it.

"I'm seeing the numbers Reed and I don't believe it…" Johnny said, "I mean literally cannot believe it…"

"It almost impossible but the results are right there in front of us Johnny…super speed, super breath, super vision, super hearing and flight! The list goes on! There is no limit to what he can do now…" Susan exclaimed, "He has every super power at his fingertips."

"You guys realize I can hear every word your saying right?" Peter smirked, "I can see through your clothes Susan…"

Susan face turned red as she crossed her hand in front of her chest.

"Kidding…"

"That's not funny Peter!" She exclaimed

"Dude what is wrong with you?"

Reed let a low growl but let it slide, "Enough games Pete. We need talk this is serious what we are dealing with here!"

"So what's up doc?"

He pulled up a holographic picture showing it to spider themed hero, "You were pushing over 300 I repeat 300 Nonillion tons on Earth gravity which 9.807 m/s². This is most advanced lifting technology known to man so with your new super powers I can't really pinpoint the limit of your strength."

"Still I feel like I can do more." Peter wiped his brow

"Your body is changing radically, how radically? I cannot say what I do know is you need to learn how to control these new powers you are basically in Extinction-Level or Extinction-Class Threat."

"So do I win prize Oh I would like to go to the Bahamas for the year that would be nice and meet Ms. Universe too…" He chuckled

"Peter this isn't funny! We can do so much with the technology that we have here on earth to help those developing powers, the most brilliant minds of the world would kill for an opportunity that I have here only by testing you to see how far you go." Reed exclaimed, "I don't see you like a lab rat but a friend in need."

Peter winced when Reed Richards is serious there was no room for the jokes, "Okay I get it, no more jokes if I can help."

Reed leaned back it was fair enough request, during these last few weeks have been very knowledgeable testing how far they can push the arachnid hero unfortunately further testing will have to wait until all the machinery was repaired.

"Alright Peter you are done for the day until we get the computers fixed I'm letting you and remember no superhero business not until you control your powers that is."

The browned haired man nodded grabbing the towel to hit the showers, "Right as if my life can't get anymore boring than it is between going to work, this and spending time with my Aunt not saying she is boring but hey doctors orders."

"Hang in their Peter…"

The arachnid hero left waving goodbye to them without turning to face them disappearing through the slider doors.


Earth's Atmosphere high above New York City

Silver Surfer finally arrived to earth now the question was where would he start looking? The last time he was here was when he punished by Galactus into exile though thanks to his friend The Thing of the Fantastic Four for the simple suggestion of trying to pass through the barrier without his surfboard, the Surfer made peace with Galactus by rescuing his current herald Nova from the Skrulls, after which Galactus finally ended the Surfer's long exile.

If Surfer remembered correctly there was about 7 billion people on the face of the Earth, "If I managed to go through each and every single person it will be too late to stop this Madman from destroying the universe I will narrow my search and start with my old friends then I will continue from there. I only hope that I am not too late."


Daily Bugle 7:40 AM

"PARKER!" Came the voice of the editor in chief John Jonah Jameson owner of the Daily Bugle, "Where is Peter Parker! I want him in my office in the next five minutes or else he's FIRED!"

"He just called chief he coming up the elevator right now." Betty Brant his secretary said not looking up from the computer

"He better be here in the next 60 seconds or he'll find himself without a job in this city again!"

As if on cue Peter appeared from the elevator grumbling under breath about how he heard Jameson from half way across town while running to Ms. Brant desk.

"Hey Betty…"

"You best be in his office Peter he's been asking for you for the last five minutes." Betty smiled at her ex

"I know I felt like I heard him from across town." Peter sighed; this earned a small chuckle from the woman.

"Just go in."

Peter went in to his surprise he saw a familiar blonde hair woman talking with his boss and there was projector in the room with the lights dimmed. He was quiet overhearing what they were talking about although he noticed Ms. Marvel flying over the city as the projector screen ran.

"Let me get this straight, Mr. Jameson: you want to hire me as an editor for a new magazine called 'Woman's Culture'?" Carol asked

"Right."

"And you want my first issue to be an expose of her?" She said crossing her legs then placing her hands on her knees looking at the editor of the Daily Bugle

"Correct again Ms. Danvers." The editor in chief said, he signaled towards the back to stop projection. As soon as the screen went blank the lights turned back on, he faced the blonde taking out the cigar from his mouth, "Lately Bugle sales have been slow I haven't had the time to devote myself to our magazine department particular Woman's magazine…let me tell you something Ms. Danvers it shows. Articles on women's LIB interviews with Kate Millet stories about career for women…Yecch!"

Carol raised a brow, "Yecch?"

"Exactly!" Jameson turned, "WHERE IS PAR…"

"Right here Mr. Jameson."

"Parker!"

"Yes?"

"Come over here I want you to meet someone who will be working for me now." Jameson stood up grabbing the young man by the shoulder then using his cigar right hand pointed to Carol.

"Ms. Danvers I want to you to meet Peter Parker our photographer who takes pictures of that wall crawling menace of New York…"

"I told you many times Jonah he's not a menace!" This came from Jameson right hand man Robbie, the city editor, "How are you Peter?"

"Robbie he is a menace and I will prove it! As soon as that wall crawler shows his face again instead of that new Scarlet man I will show the world that I was right!"

"I'm fine Mr. Robertson how are you?" The two shook hands then went to focus on the only female of the room.

She stood up looking at Peter with a smile she then extended her hand feigning that they didn't know each other yet the look in her eyes said other wise, "How do you do Mr. Parker? I look forward to working with you."

Cautiously he took her hand giving it a quick shake, "Pleasure Ms. Danvers, I look forward to the same."

Peter looked straight into her eyes; they read 'I'm going to make your life a living nightmare.' Peter swallowed dryly, this day cannot get anymore complicated than it already did.

"Okay now that introduction are over Parker, I'm assigning you to work with our new Editor of Woman's Culture and speaking of the way I see it." Jameson went behind his desk leaned back in his chair took a puff at his cigar, " A woman's magazine should have articles that useful—like new diets, fashion and recipes things like that!"

"So how does this Super heroine fit in to those category? Maybe under fashion?" Carol brow quirked

"Nah… this is something else…something more important." He waved her off "I hate superheroes, Ms. Danvers hate them!"

"That a not a surprise…" Peter rolled eyes muttering under his breath, "and guess whose number one on that list."

"Well except for Captain America now that a hero a True American hero who fought during WWII that is a man I can respect."

"Okay you want to hire me to edit the woman's magazine your way including a feature on this super woman?" Carol nodded her head crossing her arms, "Okay Mr. Jameson let's talk salary."

Jameson raised a brow, "Salary?"

"Sure as in weekly paycheck?"

"Hmm well…you see…I really can't …"

"I get it's because I'm not what you call prime material since I've only been writing for at least a good two years after leaving the security field." Carol unfolded her arms, "I get it but I know when I not needed."

Carol was going for the door Jameson quickly stopped her as the door opened a crack, "Now hold on their Ms. Danvers surely we can reach an agreement."

"I do have something of a reputation and reps cost money." She said looking back at the man

Peter and Robbie looked at each other, this was hard bargaining woman that they had in their midst so they kept quiet to see how far this would go.

"Money…eh?" Jameson took another puff, "Alright but I'm starting you off with 20 thousand dollars."

Carol smirked closing the door, "30."

"22"

"30!"

"25?"

"30 take it or leave it!" She said getting in his face

"Blast it how I can I argue money with a woman? Fine 30 thousand!"

Peter stood stunned someone actually made Jonah bend to their will which was not a easy fit to deal with and he knew how hard it was to get the editor in chief to negotiate with the prices he wanted just for pictures of Spider-Man.

Ms. Danvers sat on his desk with a satisfied smirk, "Oh one thing Jonah my name is Ms. Carol Danvers. And as far as diets and recipes go…forget it!"

"Hurrumph!" Jameson then looked at Peter, "Parker I want you to work with Ms. Carol Danvers here for the magazine and while you are at it take pictures of that other wall crawling nuisance."

"Yes sir Mr. Jameson."

"Now get out of my office you two!"

Once out of the office Peter looked at the blonde, "I don't suppose you don't want coffee?"

Carol looked at the man narrowed her eyes dangerously, she then told loud enough for him to hear, "Let's get a couple things straight here Peter!I don't like you; I think you are annoying; I'm only here to keep an eye on you as per request from The Avengers. And as your new boss you better get ready for hell."

Peter briefly looked away then back at her with a Frontalis face raising his eyes brows in surprise, "You still mad about Jessica dying aren't you?"

"How you figure?" She said with an annoyed look on her face, she began walking away with Peter on her tail. They walked until they reached her new office Peter closed the door letting out a deep breath.

"Look I feel bad enough that I hadn't been there to stop Jessica from dying she was my friend too you know and my new powers aren't fully under control."

"Another thing no!"

"Wait what?"

"No I'm not going to help you." She said matter of fact sitting behind her desk

"Why not! You're the only one beside Thor who have almost godlike powers and been at the superhero business longer than I have."

"No plain and simple."

"You can't pin on what happen to Jess on me."

"I can and I will you were suppose to knock him down and stop him from killing her. Because of you I lost my best friend you don't know what it's like to lose someone important!"

Peter winced at what she said looking down in shame, Carol looked at him in an irritated bemused face. She watched as he clenched and unclenched his fist not knowing that she struck a nerve.

"You want to know something Ms. Danvers." Peter walked up to her desk slamming his hand upon it causing the pilot to jump in her seat, "You don't know jack squat about me for you to say that I don't know anything on what its like to loose a beloved family member. You are not the one risking their life for the little since it's above your payroll!"

Okay this was a side of the wall crawler that Carol never seen this side before and it was kind of out of character for him, wasn't he the goofball, the jokester, the guy that never shut up?

Well whatever this was it was kind of freaky to her even if it was Peter, the look on Peters face was dead serious, this was definitely new. The two stared each other done evenly not daring to say a word.

The tension was thick that you could cut it with a knife well it was until Spider-sense started acting up wildly.

'Spider-sense! Danger!'

The next thing he knew Ms. Danvers started to speak backwards then she stood up walking backwards out the door, as it swung open before she reached it. Peter quirked his brows watching the door reclose, "Well this is odd and people say that I'm weird…and that's saying something…"

Peter waited then suddenly the door opened to see a confused Carol Danvers. She looked from the Peter location to the outside, "How in the heck did you get in here before me? I was sitting right there in the desk?"

"…" Peter didn't answer her least she would call him crazy, he shrugged not knowing how to answer. Peter spider-sense went into overdrive causing him pain like never before screamed in agony. Carol though didn't like him went over grabbing him by the shoulders to balance him.

In an instance Peter eyes were open as images went rapidly through his mind, an image of a spaceship with a purple beam with thousands upon of galaxies disappearing all at once.

Carol supported him making sure he wouldn't fall unless she wanted to get fired, "What was that about?"

"You're asking me?" Again Spider-Sense tingled; he looked outside a man on a flying surfboard.

"Silver Surfer?" Both heroes stared intently at man with power cosmic and suddenly a blast destroyed Carol new office sending both heroes to the ground. Carol recovered faster, "Surfer why are you attacking us?"

Surfer said nothing as screams and panic were heard in the outside. The next thing they knew Robbie came through the door, "Peter, Carol are you alright? Oh my go…"

"Mr. Robertson get out of here!"

He didn't need to be told twice as he left in a hurry. Peter stood up looking angrily at the man on the board, "Alright buddy you want to dance let's dance!"

Peter fist was full of energy then with a yell fired the beam at the Surfer who was hit directly in the chest. In an instance Peter willed his costume on taking off after the man on the board. Carol herself was about to fly after them when she began to move backwards again.

In her mind she started to ask the question, 'What is going on here? Why is everything moving backwards?'


Spidey swung faster trying to keep up with Silver Surfer, Surfer looked back to see his opponent gaining on him. He took the skies leaving the wall crawler to climb a building to the rooftop.

Spider-Man fist was filled with energy, he was looking back to the hovering Surfer "Look pal unless you got Galactus coming to snack on some Hersey bars I suggest you surrender or get ready to face the wrath of Spider-Fu!"

Again Surfer said nothing charged his fist with energy than released it towards the arachnid hero. Spider-Man did the same; the two beams collided pushing each other for dominance that was until it exploded a moment later.

Surfer fly high into the sky out of sight annoying the wall crawler, "Hey didn't your mother ever tell its impolite to give people the cold shoulder? You should know better!"

He realized something, he palmed his face, "I can be a real idiot sometimes! I can fly hello…I need a new gimmick maybe I should the circus."

Spidey bent low soon the ground shook and with a bang he took off at breath taking speed after the man who attacked the Bugle.

Surfer waited patiently for his opponent to arrive, he thought to himself aloud, "Could this be the one? My senses are overwhelmed with the sheer power that is within him it is similar to own power cosmic. Though I do regret for doing such a low tactic I had to be sure he was the one. Now I must see if he can withstand the effects of time reversal as the others could not."

He heard thunder so he prepared himself to engage the newly powered Spider-Man, hopefully he would see reason that it wasn't intentionally that he attacked but to ensure that he was the chosen champion.

He saw the figure coming out of the clouds, "Ok Harry Houdini lets get down to business and what I mean is: a good old spider tossing the guy around fashion beat down."

Surfer will never understand humans and there bad sense of humor nonetheless the former herald of Galactus charged at the man as the other did the same with both hands filled with cosmic energy the combat was set.


Meanwhile Deep in the cosmos

"Lady Death…" The figure said as they walked to the window of the space ship, "See what I has wrought!"

He turned to face two stoned figures, "Mock me now if you dare! What was that my lady? You two wouldn't be ignoring me would you? After all not even goddess will dare ignore a man that posses the ultimate weapon!"

He fired a purple beam to nearby plants that reverted back to seeds. He picked it up looking at it with great interest crushing it, "So…young…so very delicate. Soon I will crush the very universe itself between my hands in the greatest offering that Chaos and Death could have."

Soon a beeping sound was heard from the computer, quickly he went to his computer watching as the energy depleting, "The time reversal field it is out of power! "

He turned back to the stone figure caressing the face, "Oh my lady I am sorry I have failed…"

The ship was turned around opening a portal, "I must return to the source! Then once and for all I shall prove myself worthy of your love."
