Chapter 2

A False Web

Part 1

John started to wake up the next morning before rubbing his eyes still a bit groggy from his deep sleep. After he finished rubbing his eyes he got up from his bed and walked over to his closet and began top change out of his pajamas and into more causal clothes. While John was getting ready he heard Emma begin to trudge down the hallway to the shower and his dad making his way down to the kitchen. John smiled to himself as he opened his door and beginning to walking down to the stairs to get breakfast.

While he was going down the stairs he smelled the breakfast his dad was making which John thought was french toast. John walked over to the kitchen got a couple pieces of french toast before going to set in the living room. While John was eating he heard Emma began to walk down the stairs so he looked over to the stairs to smile on to his sister.

Today she was wearing a dark pink dress with lavender colored accents. The dress only had sleeves covering her shoulders with a relaxed fit to draw attention away from her chest. The waist of the dress is a tight but not so tight as to draw attention to her figure. The dress also had a slim belt that went around her hips from which the rest of the dress frills out and stops just above her knees.

While John was looking at Emma's dress she had finished making her way to the kitchen she grabbed her couple of pieces of French toast before walking over to sit next to her brother. She smiled at her brother before she began eating being careful not to her get her dress dirty.

" Why are you dressing up for today sis I mean usually you would be jeans and t-shirt and shorts on your days off from school?' John asked Emma with a smile.

" Oh I have a show today that in the park today," Emma said with a smile sounding very excited about it. " I would be very happy if you could make it down to watch and I know Paola would love to see you their."

" You know I don't do crowds sis," John replied while he heard his mom beginning to her her way down the stairs. John then continued to eat his food as his mom went and got her food and then her an their dad began to make their way to the living room.

" Well John it couldn't hurt for you to try and break out of your shell," Selah said with a smile at John with a smile and John's dad nodded in agreement.

" I mean you only have one friend which you haven't spoken to in at least three years to my knowledge," Haruteru said to his son with concern.

" Well he did end up moving back to Japan with his grandmother after the accident," John said with a sad smile after he finished eating his french toast and then took his plate to the kitchen where he washed it and put it up. " I plan on going to the lab today as I have a project to work on."

" Well then be careful," Haruteru said to his son before John walked up to the stairs to his bedroom before he grabbed his backpack before he looked to his closet. He stood there fpr a few seconds before grabbing the red and blue Spider-Man costume which he hid under a bunch of books. After that he went to his desk to grab his keys and walking down the stairs and out of the apartment down to the street. John then commenced his walk over to the subway station which due to crowds and such took about forty minutes to reach.

Once to the station John walked down the stairs and into the station itself which while less crowded then the streets above were it was still bad. Through in this case John didn't mind as it was made easier to sneak his way down to the maintenance tunnel which he then picked the lock to opening the door and walking inside. From the maintenance walkway he would be able to actually get into the subway tunnels themselves which would lead him to the abandoned section which no one uses or even for that matters probably remembers exist except for John and his family.

You see a few years ago back when John was about eight years old a group of super villains had attacked some huge tech company in order to upgrade their equipment or instructions from some other stronger supervillian no one really knew. All the public was aware of is that the battle between the villains, heroes, and law enforcement was so intense that it had caused a small earthquake which had weakened a small section of subway infrastructure which made the public to afraid to use the trains. Haruteru had apparently heard of the problem and offered to reinforce the tunnel so people could use it again and it would be cheaper then the city doing the repairs themselves. The government agreed and the tunnel was back in shape to be in operation again in about three months, however even with the confirmation that it was safe to use again the public was still to afraid to use it so John's dad instead bought the abandoned section of track and converted it into a lab for his son and John's one friend to use rather then have the government tear down and build a new tunnel.

So now with that bit of history out of the way is why John has a private lab in a subway though it is difficult to access. One the Governor did green light a project to build new tunnels in the area which had the effect of cutting off easy access to the lab as John had to navigate a few different maintenance tunnels and a small section of actual active subway tunnel to get there which as you could imagine was slightly dangerous. Two due to the area being abandoned sometimes homeless people would wonder into the abandoned tunnels and get way to close to the abandoned subway car that housed the lab which would be dangerous for anyone without the proper equipment training to enter. The second problem was solved by John about four years ago as made some small security robots shaped like ravens which were armed with small tasers and rubber bullets that patrolled a small half a mile radius around the lab.

As John was thinking about the above problems he walked out of the maintenance area and into the active subway tunnel which he began to walk down for a quarter of a mile before finding the old tunnel on his right which he then entered and began to walk down. John continued down the tunnel for about ten minutes after which he saw the two subway cars sitting calmly in the tunnel. John walked over to the second car, opening its door and walking into car.

" Hey A.D.A.M wake up we have some work to do?" John said with a smile which caused the lights in the cars to turn on so that he could see more clearly after his eyes adjusted. In the right corner of the back of the car was a medium sized chemistry table which was covered with empty vials, beakers, bunsen burners, and a periodic table poster with all 118 elements up to date on it. The left back corner had a a large metal cabinet filled with glass flask filled with chemicals some of which was only halfway full as they have been used for school projects and such. In the center of the subway car was a round table with a glass top and weird looking electronic on top of which stood a one inch tall holgram of a man which was colored blue with some white lines of code flowing through what looked like his shirt.

" What project do you have for me today sir?" the hologram said with a smile to the to his owner. John just looked over to the AI before with a smile of his own before placing his backback on the floor and removing the costume. " Making another Halloween costume you know thats a waste of my processing power sir."

" This isn't a fake suit A.D.A.M its his actual suit I want you to check the news and see if you can find out where he is so I can return it to it him," John said to the intelligence program with said program pulling up the news articles regarding Spider-Man.

" Well I cycled through all the news articles, video, and podcast about Spider-Man but I wasn't able to find a location for you to return the suit to him as his appearances never come from a common location other then the Daily Bugle though that could be attributed to all the times Jameson has pissed off supervillians," A.D.A.M said with a sigh.

" Okay well that's disappointing the crime rate is just going to keep getting worse without him to slow it down," John said with a worried expression.

" If your only objective is to return the suit to its proper owner there is a way of doing so though it would be slightly dangerous," the AI responded with a calm expression.

" What would you suggest?" John asked the program a bit wary of the way it said dangerous.

" Wear the suit to stop a minor crime in front of people as if you happen to get caught on in a photo or video that is put on social media and or the news word should travel to the original owner of the suit or one of his allies which could return it to him," the AI suggestedwhile looking at the gears turning in his creators head. It could work as long as I don't get shot or injured plus I wouldn't have to web swing if I found certain crimes like thefts and breaking and entering though those probably wouldn't be public enough, John thought to himself before nodding to himself.

" Okay A.D.A.M we will attempt this once but just to make sure it goes 100% safety I want you to create a replica of this mask with the necessary electronics to house an AI fragment to run predicative analysis on the criminals so if they try and shoot me I can dodge," John said holding up the suits mask.

" I will do you one better sir I will create a replica of the suit and the fragment to run the algorithm that you have requested," the program said with a smile. " Everything should be ready in about 3.5 hours."

" Good I guess I will take a nap in the other car then ping me once everything is done," John said before opening the door to the other car and going to take a nap. Of course he didn't actually sleep the full 3.5 hours no he woke up in thirty minutes and then decided to read a book for the rest of the time until the alarm pinged. When it did John went and looked at the two suits noting that they looked the same except for the fact that the replica was tailored to fit him.

" I would suggest using the web shooters from the original suit as we didn't have enough material to replicate those and if this plan works I think you would agree there would be no need," A.D.A.M said looking at his owner who put the two costumes in his backpack. " Oh and the fragments name is Alpha-1 and he was fragmented from a backup of me so it should work nearly perfectly."

" Thanks power down the lab for now and I will report to you how well it goes later," John said before the hologram bowed to him and John then left the lab heading back up to the suits of New York City.

Authors Note: I am going to call this chapter here because lets be honest when individual chapters go over 2,000 words people stop paying attention and it makes the chapter seem overly long at least to me and in some cases I want them to be longer then that. For example if I need a chapter to focus on more then one characters perspective 3,000 words is great for that and it provides for more flexibility with writing allowing you to do chapters of two or sometimes even three perspectives but that's pushing it so as I said I will end this chapter here and make it a two parter not the original plan but hey that's fine especially since I got two new ocs to introduce next chapter so its also probably going to be 2,000 words or more.
