The view was amazing as Jason and Ben flew across the UK and then the sea as the air around them began to get colder and colder. Soon more land appeared covered in snow and ice, the temperatures really plummeting. Jason began to descended towards a large building that looked to be formed out of huge crystals. They touched down and Ben jumped off of Jason's back, landing with a crunch in the snow.

"Wow it is cold here," Ben said, his teeth chattering.

"When we get into the fortress, you will warm up. Wally will be here in a sec."

"You should have told me to get some thermals to wear under this suit."

"Don't worry, your suit should have some thermal capacity, though it may need time to kick in."

Suddenly a red and yellow flash appeared and Wally was soon standing next to them.

"Shall we head in?" he asked.

"Might as well," Jason said.

They trudged through the snow and to the large door, where Jason opened the door through various means. As soon as they were inside and the door had shut, warmth spread over the three of them, there freezing bodies beginning to regain the heat they so wanted.

They were stood in a large cavern which Ben was amazed by. Jason headed over to a platform where there looked like a bunch of control panels were laid out.

"Ok first I want to do a strength test," he said. "If you go and stand over there, I will lower down a series of weights and test how much you can take. The second you are struggling, say and I will remove it."

Ben walked over to where Jason had pointed and stood on a clearly marked spot, waiting for Jason to start the test.

"Ok raise your arms, I am lowering the first weight."

Ben did as instructed and looked upwards as a huge metal plate descended towards him. The plate landed in his open palms and he took it with no problems at all. Jason added a further three weights and Ben still stood relatively comfortably.

"Wow, you are going to be on my weight level on the next one," Jason said.

"How much am I lifting?" Ben asked.

"Three hundred tonnes."

"Wow, how am I doing that?"

"Your powers seem to be really strong, it is quite amazing what you are doing. Ok, I am. Going to add another one hundred tonnes."

Ben readied himself as the next weight lowered into place, his legs barley shaking from the strain.

"I am going to add smaller weights now," Jason called over.

Ben nodded as smaller weights began to be added. Slowly he started to struggle and called over to Jason.

"Ok, that is enough for me. What did I get to?" he asked as the weights began to rise and he moved out from underneath them.

"You got to four hundred and seventy tonnes, that is just over my limit. Well done."

"That felt amazing, I can't believe I am that strong."

"Trust me, you never get bored with what you can do with your powers," Wally said.

"Ok then, what next?" Ben asked.

"Now I want to test your reactions. I am going to get Wally to throw some tennis balls at you and i want to see how many of them you can catch."

They took up there positions and Wally began the tennis ball offensive. Ben moved from side to side catching all the balls effortlessly, not missing a single one thrown at him.

"Ok it seems you are pretty good with your reaction times and also at catching, so I think we will have to move on to the target practice. The Doctor mentioned you can shoot organically produced webs, so I want you to see if you can fire a line of web at each target."

"How do I make the webbing?" Ben asked.

"How does Spiderman do it?" Wally asked.

"Well from what I have seen, he makes this shape with his hands." Ben demonstrated the shape and gave his wrist a slight flick. Suddenly a short burst of webbing leapt from his wrist and flew off into the distance.

"Wow, cool!" Wally exclaimed.

"Ok, here comes the targets," Jason said.

Ben took aim and began to fire at each target, using both of his hands. The webs flew effortlessly from his wrists and hit every target Jason set for him.

"Excellent, you seem to be much better than we thought you would be," Jason said. "You are hitting everything with pin point accuracy, how are you doing that?"

"There seems to be something in my head which just tells me where to point and when to do it."

"I think I recognise that," Wally said. "I remember reading something about Spiderman having something similar."

Wally began to type something into one of the panels and a hologram screen appeared above it.

"My dad has this?"

"Yeah, here it is. In an interview he gave as Spiderman, he said he calls it his 'spider sense' and it allows him to sense when danger is around and it allows him to know precisely where to send his webs to allow him to fight and swing around the buildings."

Ben had walked up behind Wally and Jason to see what had been pulled up on the screen.

"Excellent, I imagine that will come in quite useful," he said.

"Yeah, I wish I could have that," Jason said. "It would solve all sorts of problems."

Ben looked over at one of the panels and saw the time. With all the fun they had been having, the time had flown by and he needed to get back home.

"Um, I need to be going. I have to be back for dinner," he said to the lads.

"Right, I suppose we ought to go then. Are you alright to go back as we came?" Jason asked.

"Sure, it is the best way."

Jason powered down the consoles and they walked back to the main door where Jason opened it up allowing the icy air of the Arctic in.

"Wally if you head round to the nearby park and change, then go and knock on the Parker's door, we will fly in through it," Jason planned.

"Sure, hover overhead if you beat me. Doubt you will though."

"You're on," Jason replied just before in a blur of yellow and red, Wally sped off into the distance.

Ben and Jason walked out of the cavern and Jason locked and sealed the door. They reassumed their positions from the first journey and took off heading back to their homes in London.

The familiar green land of Britain soon came into view and the high rise buildings of London followed. They flew over Ben's house and spotted the ginger mop of Wally's hair rounding the street corner on his way to know on the door. Mary-Jane opened the door and after a brief explanation, Jason used his super hearing to know when to enter and flew right down and through the door into the Parker's hallway. Wally shut the door behind them.

"How has your day been honey?" Mary-Jane asked.

"Great thanks, they really tested me," Ben replied.

"He did very well, much better than we thought," Jason said as his suit began changing back into his normal clothes.

Ben noticed this and pulled his mask off and began to imagine himself wearing the polo shirt and jeans again.

"That sounds excellent, you will have to tell your dad later, he has had to go and visit the office for a last minute meeting."

"Will he be back for dinner?" Ben asked.

"I don't know, we will have to see."

"Well, I need to go. Thank you very much for letting us help Ben. We would love to hang out again soon," Jason said.

"No, thank you for work, I would love you to come round again. Just ask Ben and you are most welcome."

"I will head off to, thanks again," Wally said.

They headed to the door and said their final goodbyes before heading home. As they lived on the same street, Jason and Wally walked home together.

"He did very well today, much better than either of us could the day after we got our powers," Jason said.

"I guess with his powers being more powerful than ours and with his heightened 'spider sense', his body has just got used to them quicker and more unconsciously than we could."

"Yeah, I think we should run a few more of dad's tests on him just to see how powerful he actually is."

They reached Jason's house and they both parted and went in to their own houses. There was much more to come between these three lads and they were only just getting started.
