I DON'T OWN THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN OR STOKED.

-Parker-

"I can't believe I'm even thinking this." I said to myself as I leapt from building to building in my Spider-Man uniform. With my speed, it didn't take long before I landed on a building that overlooked the place I told Fin to be at. As I found her my apprehension disappeared. "I see your ready."

"Yeah. So does this 'fun' include that uniform or were you just running late." She joked.

"A little of both." I joked back.

"Enough with the joking. How about you go ahead and show me what you have planned." She said with a smirk.

"Sounds good." I jumped onto the ground and signaled for her to hang on to my shoulders. After she placed her hands on my shoulder, I webbed her hands together.

"I'm not going to need to run later, will I?"

"No, it's just I never took someone on a joyride before."

"So I'm your first?" She asked, the smirk evident in her voice.

"Thanks a lot. You just made it weird." I said as I started crawling up a wall. As I approached the top of the building I jokingly said, "welcome to the inaugural swing of Spidey airlines. Hold on tight, but try not to strangle me."

"What?"

"You'll see." I said as I jumped off the building and shot a web at the neighboring building. First she was clamping down on my throat. But compared to all the villains that have already tried to kill Spider-Man, her grip was nothing. After several blocks her grip loosened to where I could breathe again, while she could still stay in the air with me.

I was still keeping a lid on my swinging speed when she moved closer to my ear and said, "Come on you kook, you promised you would show me what you did to have fun."

"You asked for it." I responded as I released the web line. The momentum of the web was carrying us to a nearby building. Twisting my body I got a grip on the blonde and ran up the wall. I jumped into a backflip and with my free hand shot a web at another building.

"Yahoo!" Surprisingly enough that exclamation came from Fin. I'm starting to like her even more. With one arm some of my more complicated maneuvers were out of the play book. But enough remained. I jumped into the direction of many buildings and swung closer. After I entered the densely packed buildings I waited longer between shooting webs. Each time the two of us got to the lowest part of a web I would release and we would be rocketed forward. We had gotten so close to the ground that I could see Fin wave to a person passing in a car. I also saw a wild look pass briefly cross over the drivers face.

To gain more altitude I swung onto a close building and ran up until there was no more building and I was flipping through the air. I was surprised that swinging with a passenger was more difficult than I would've thought. Nonetheless I was enjoying my first joyride with someone when I heard universal sirens of passing policemen. I used the upward force of momentum to gain a view of where the Mounties were driving. In the distance I saw several cars converging on a bank in the distance. "These people have seriously bad timing." Fin said.

"Trust me, they can get worse." I said as I landed on a building. I tore the web that kept Fin's hands connected and pulled my small digital camera from the pocket in my belt. I ran off the building and threw the camera into a corner where I shot a web for the camera to be on stand by. I landed on the top of one cops car. The cop jumped in surprise as he saw me land.

"Spider-Man?" He said.

"Random Mountie?" I joked, then turned to the bank and seriously asked, "what's going on?"

"The assailants are holding hostages and have barricaded the doors." The Mountie said as he led me to a blueprint laid out on a car. "There is only one entrance, the ventilation system. Everywhere the vents are is too high for anyone, except for you." He pointed to a blueprint, to a picture of a large box-like structure on the roof.

"Got it." I said as I ran at the bank and ran up to the roof. It didn't take long before I found the cooling system. I gently pulled on the cover. But it didn't come off. If these people are like the people in New York than I'll probably be forced to pay for whatever I break. "Good think I'm already at the bank." I said, shooting a web at the covering and ripped it off the fan. I shot a web at the spinning fan and jumped through, before the fan broke through the webs and resumed its spinning.

I was crawling on the top part of the vents, until I found a source of light. "Careful Spidey, you know what they say about going into the light." The name of the game is stealth, so when I got to the vent I used as little of my strength I could to rip the vent off and pulled it in with me. I crawled out and saw that the vent had let out to a balcony over looking the massive open area of the front lobby. Across this balcony was another. Both sets had dudes with assault rifles aimed at the hostages and co-thieves, who also had powerful looking guns pointing at the innocents. And unfortunately for people up here there was no one paying attention to them. I crawled the ceiling until I was directly over the criminal and shot two webs at the villain. I pulled the guy up, making sure the gun didn't come up with him, he hit the ceiling and before he could yell out I had already webbed him up and shot web over the morons mouth. "We wouldn't want to let the other morons know I'm here." Before I left I zipped the gun up and webbed it a few feet from the masked criminal.

I could easily zip over to the other balcony, but with all these hostages I seriously need to be incognito. To the left side of this balcony was a door and was covered by a large wall. I crawled over to it and saw that there was a window over the door that showed another robber standing in front of a window overlooking the hostages. This guy was clearly the leader. I slowly opened the window. Creak. The window was rusty and gave up my position. The crook who formerly held his hands behind his back turned to me. He was reaching for his radio when I jumped down and shot a web at his mouth and the belt that was holding the radio.

I tackled him and took us both to the ceiling. I webbed him into a corner that no one could see if they looked up from the lobby. "Dude, I'm sure there are easier ways to get a loan." I moved to the other side and this time I knocked out the person. With the back up down I made my presence known. "Hit the spider and win a prize." I said from my perch on the edge of the balcony. The criminals all looked in my direction with surprised looks. I lifted my wrist and looked at an imaginary watch.

"Shoot him!" They yelled simultaneously. They did as they said and let loose a flurry of bullets. I jumped through the air and used my webs to change my direction in midair. While the idiots were shooting at me they were distracted. Distracted enough for the hostages to escape. After the last hostage ran off I was still dodging and announced, "I was in the middle of something important, something I want to get back to so if you place your guns on the ground and walk out with your hands on your heads then I won't have to send you to the hospital before jail."

Some of the criminals were smart enough to do as instructed. But there was a few who kept their finger on the triggers. Cant tried to warn them. Switching to offense I jumped into the air and shot webs at the crooks. I landed and swept my feet under the one in center and used my arms to launch my foot into the ugly mug hiding behind the mask on the left. The third guy was turning my way and was about to raise his gun to shoot. Not before I threw a punch. The punch was too far to the right. The crook thought he had come out lucky. Not so much. I shot out a web and pulled a lamp from behind him and made the brass furniture crash into the robbers head.

"Gotta love the classics." I said as the guy hit the floor with a thud.

"Put your hands up, freak." Said the first guy.

"Like this?" I asked putting my hands up.

"This doesn't feel right." The second guy said.

"Guess we know who is the brains of this group. Not that that means much." I said before I shot webs at their two guns and pulled them away. The two conscious thieves had little time to react before I shot a web at each of their ankles and jumped overhead. I connected their webs and shot another web at the high ceiling. After the two lines were joined the pair of crooks rocketed into the air. I walked through the front door and waved my arms like a wrestler who just won the championship. After the Mounties entered I did a backflip and jumped towards the buildings and shot a web line at the buildings. To lose any curious Mounties I circled the block and finally landed on the building I left Fin on.

"Took you long enough. It might have been exciting in there but it was boring out here."

"That's too bad. I'll make it up as we swing." I told her. Then her phone rang.

"Don't count on it. Looks like our friends are starting to get curious." She said pointing to her phone.

"Next time."

"You bet. Now let's get going, spider."

-NP-

Spider-Man had picked up Fin and the pair moved quickly in the direction of the hotel. Unknown to either there was a form hiding in the shadows.

"Here we come." The form said.
