I know what you're thinking. 'DoubleA135, where have you been?! What were you doing?!'
If you must know, things have gotten busy in my private life.
That, and I've been busy making ideas for new stories all at once.
Sorry about that.
Hope this makes up for it!
Enjoy!
Two days later...
Aaron's been getting used to his new abilities.
Like he told Spider-Man, he was a quick learner. He got pretty used to his spider powers and bio-energy, but he had a love-hate relationship with his eight extra spider limbs.
They were cool and all, but he'd like it much better if they didn't tear holes in the back of his shirt when he needed them to extend out of his back.
As for his glitchy pixelation powers, he saw that there were still a few things to learn about them, but we'll talk about them as we go some time in the future.
As for Aaron in particular, he's eating a spicy chicken shawarma wrap while sitting against the wall, doing something on a tablet.
...Though, I never said he was sitting on his bed or the floor.
Yep. He's sitting on the ceiling against the wall.
While eating, Aaron thought out loud, "Mm. Good shawarma."
"What are you doing, Aaron?" said Eights.
The spider crawled up the wall, to the ceiling, and onto Aaron's shoulder.
"Take a look." he said, showing her the tablet.
He was designing himself a suit. He can't exactly be the next spider-person without a suit, can he?
It looked similar to the Spider-Men's suits, but the colors were neon green and black. On the front where there should be a spider logo, there was a neon green power button symbol with eight spider legs. There was a sewn in jacket, and on the back was a neon green wi-fi symbol and just below it is a green spider logo. The feet of the suit were replaced with black and green shoes. On the right wrist was a square smartwatch of some kind, and to wear for Aaron's face, was a black lower half mask with a neon green trim going along the top of it, and above it was a hi-tech visor, which lenses looked similar to the eye lenses on Spider-Man's mask to go with it.
I hope you guys don't have a problem with the suit.
Aaron then explained, "Helps with movement, looks great, can withstand my energy, and the back can make spaces for my extra limbs so I don't have to worry about stuff like this. *points to back*"
He was pointing to the eight holes in the back of his shirt and hoodie.
With a pixelated and glitching hand, he touched the back of his clothes, and the glitches spread across his back and when they were gone, Aaron's clothes no long had holes.
His glitches could put things back the way they were not too long ago.
"Interesting."
"I know, right? I just gotta make the suit, get my gist of my web-swinging, and I should be good to go."
Aaron finished his shawarma wrap, and tossed it in the direction of his trash can by the desk. Right when it was over it, Aaron shot a web at it sending it directly into the trash.
"You're really adapting to your spider powers."
"Yeah," Aaron fell from the ceiling, turned midair and landed laying down on the bed. "It might've been just two days, but I think I'm up for this."
"Are you sure, Aaron?" Eights asked, still on his shoulder, "I don't mean to doubt you, but don't you think you're a little...young for this?"
Aaron sighed before getting off his bed and getting something from under it.
"Eights, the Spider-Men each started at fifteen years old. We live in a district protected by someone a year younger than me with a literal T-Rex. Do I also need to remind you of a large amount of mutant teen superheroes that live in a mansion/school here in New York?
Eights, do you also forget about the thing I did for MegaCity when I was ten?"
She was silent.
"Eights, I get it. You don't want me to do something I'll regret. I get I'm young, but to me, my age don't mean a thing. As long as I know what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it. I'm ready, and I know I can do this.
Please don't try to talk me out of it."
Aaron finally pulled out a chrome colored suitcase and place it on the bed.
It opened itself, and it was revealed to be a hi-tech fabricator with welders, small mechanical claws, and a control pad of some kind extending from it.
"...I was never trying to talk you out of it."
Eights crawled from his shoulder and onto the Aaron's head.
"I was just making sure you weren't afraid and ready to back out of this."
Aaron smirked. "You know there's not a lot that can scare me."
"Then let's get to work."
"Yep. But first,"
1: Aaron pointed a finger at his computer before shooting some of energy out and at it, switching it on.
2: He then snapped his fingers, and in a second, the computer's screen showed a song on Spotify which immediately played.
Play 'This Is My Time' by Lecrae here.
As the music started, Aaron looked up at Eights, and Eights looked back and they both nodded at each other.
Time to get to work.
[0:10/Found my position, let's hit the road]
We see Aaron with his glasses on the fabricator, and his hands on the control pad.
He's controlling the fabricator to add a few adjustments to his glasses.
When he was finished, he took the glasses and put them on. He tapped twice on the edge of the frame, and they transformed into the hi-tech visor from Aaron's draft.
He tapped twice again, and they retransformed into his regular glasses.
He smirked at the results.
[0:22/I got longitude and latitudes]
We now see Aaron take his new shoes and watch off the fabricator and set them to the side.
He's working on the suit now, and as you can tell from his concentrated expression it's a little difficult.
But he powered through because it would be worth the effort.
[0:29/I'm a hero in the makin']
Finally done, Aaron raised his suit up from the fabricator and looked at his work.
He put the machine away and back under his bed before placing all his stuff on his bed and in front of him.
He looked at his bedroom window then exhaled.
He then look at the stuff and was ready to put it on.
[0:40/This is my time]
Aaron's now doing a suit up sequence.
He put on his suit, and tugged the sleeves so his arms would go through all the way.
He put his shoes easily, then put on his watch, then pulled up his face mask.
He finally tapped the button on his glasses and they transformed into his visor.
He looked at himself and smiled.
He then went over to his bedroom window.
[0:50/I shine on]
After opening his window, Aaron looked back at Eights, who waved at him.
Aaron nodded back before glitching invisible, taking a step back, then he dived out the window.
[0:56/This is my time]
Aaron shot a web line from his wrist, and it attached to the top of the building in front of him.
Instead of falling, he pulled himself towards the building and stuck to the side of it.
He grinned at what he did before climbing to the top of the building.
[1:05/Shoulda known from the beginnin']
Aaron's now seen running across the rooftops.
With the gaps between the buildings, he jumped over them without a problem.
With his new agility, he parkoured through, over, and past the ventilation on the roofs.
[1:16/Couldn't tell but now I see it clear]
Upcoming was the end of the street and Aaron stopped to halt.
He looked from his spot down at the street when suddenly there was a beeping from his watch.
[1:21/I think I'm destined to win it]
It showed a black and green map of the city, and it showed a yellow blinking dot somewhere near south.
There was trouble, and this could be Aaron's first hero job.
He closed his eyes, inhaled,
[1:29/This is my time]
backflipped off the building and went for a web swing!
As he came back up, he fired a web from his other wrist and swung again.
He smiled behind his mask as he kept going!
He said he'd wait til he'd get better, but I guess the adrenaline got to him.
He's a natural!
He was so confident, the next building he was going for, he went intangible through it!
He stopped on the next one, sticking to the side standing upright.
[1:39/I shine on]
Aaron went visible, when he looked towards the top.
[1:41/See it comin', I don't need a sign]
He smirked and ran up the building. When he reached the top,
[1:44/This is my time]
he jumped up, and boosted himself forward, blasting his bio-energy from his hands.
After he went over the building, he dived down.
We see him web swinging down the street.
"WHOOOOO!"
And he's having a good time doing it.
End song!
Later...
We see a handful of goons in ski masks in a back alley, with their S.U.V. by the street. A single thug's in the car's driver's seat, waiting for them to get the job done.
One with a crowbar's trying to pry open a door.
Another one of them looked nervous about this whole thing.
He eventually said, "You sure we shouldn't hurry? I heard there's a girl runnin' around town with a dinosaur now."
"*scoffs* I'll believe it when I see it." The guy who looked liked the leader said, "Next you'll tell me there's a third Spider-Man around this city."
From his elevated position, from atop the building their breaking into, Aaron said, "You ain't far off, man."
He then clung down onto the side of the building.
Aaron's P.O.V.
I say pick off a few them first.
I shot a web at a trashcan at the other end of the alleyway, and the shot hit with an audible *Clang!*.
"What was that?" I heard one one of the thieves say.
"Go check it out." the leader said.
As Mr. Gullible and Unaware was told to do so, I leapt to and stuck to the building across from me.
I crawled on until I was above him.
Okay, let's hope I can do this first try.
From my spot on the wall, I shot two web lines at the guy's shoulders and yanked him up in the air.
With a pull from the right while the guy was in the air, I spun the guy around, and shot webs at him with my other hand.
With him wrapped up, I pulled him into the wall as he fell, sticking him to it in the process.
Okay, not bad, Aaron. First try and everything.
Now to just deal with the others.
I've got just the idea how.
I went intangible, through the building I was sticking to, and dropped to the ground floor.
Watch this.
With my glitching wrists, I shot two web lines and they went through the wall.
Right after, I zapped the lines with my energy, and I could hear two yells.
My bio-energy should zap two of them and make them weak enough.
I pulled on my two lines and you can hear two of the goons slam against the wall, then fall to the ground.
Putting my ear against the wall, I heard on the other side, "What the-?" and "What just happened?".
I think three counts as a few. Time to introduce myself.
I cracked my neck, then my knuckles, then jumped through the wall while intangible.
In the air, I immediately went tangible again, yanked the crowbar out of that one goons hands with a web line, and landed beside the remaining five thugs.
"Pretty sure you guys didn't forget your keys. *throws crowbar*"
When the crowbar hit the leader in the face, I went to work.
I pulled myself towards one of them with a web line and hit him. I then slid under them, then attacked him twice in the back sending him flying.
Thank spider strength and flexibility for that move.
Cue Spider Sense.
I ducked under a punch, before immediately leaning forward, and pulling back, bashing my head against his face.
As he held it in pain, I flipped onto his shoulders, locked my legs onto my shoulders, and with all my strength, leaned back, and with a somersault, slammed him into the ground.
I webbed him to the ground for good measure.
My Spider Sense came on again, and I could tell what was happening but I let it. Stay with me on this.
It was the leader who had me in a lock, holding my arms up, and when another thief, the guy who I sent flying, was about to hit me, I smirked behind my face mask.
The spider legs on the back of my suit opened up in almost no time, allowing my extra spider limbs to come out of my back.
This pushed back the leader into the car, almost denting it, and while the guy who was about to punch me was stunned by the confusion, I webbed his face, spun around, smacking him with my four left extra limbs, pulled back, then punched him with an energized punch, sending him down the alley.
I turned back and looked back at the leader who was on his feet agai- Wait, where's the other three?
My question was answered when I saw that the three in the S.U.V. already right with the driver.
Right when the leader turned to the car, the four of them drove off.
He was silent until he looked towards me, only to look around confused and startled.
What he doesn't know is that I glitched invisible.
While he looked around frantically while I calmly walked behind him quietly.
Before he could even process what happened, I jumped up, kicked him in the back of the head while backflipping, with a web line, yanked him into the asphalt, knocking him out.
"Officers should be here any minute. *looks in direction the car drove off in* Now I gotta ride to catch."
I shot web lines from my wrist, pulled back with all my strength and all eight extra limbs piercing the ground, and when I let potential become kinetic, I slingshot into the air and web swung after the car.
On my way through the air, you know I couldn't resist doing some aerial tricks.
And right when I finished a twist, I spotted the car.
I used another web line and I zipped over and landed on the roof of the car as my extra limbs retracted back into my back.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm in the mood for some fun.
I positioned myself in the way a skateboarder or surfer would, then I took control of the car.
I suddenly made it stop before making the tires spin out.
When I felt like turning the brakes off, we sped off quick. And I mean quick.
I could literally hear the yelps and screams of the thieves inside as I kept making sharp and close turns down the streets and between some of the cars.
This was almost as fun as web swinging.
Up ahead, I noticed that we were getting close to the East River.
I smirked, thinking it was time to really give these guys something to scream about.
While still controlling the car, I jumped off, while the S.U.V. was feet away from driving off into the river.
I shot webs from my wrist as fast as I could, making thick threads of webbing attached to the car and the nearby buildings.
Right when the car was about to go over the edge, it stopped from the tensile strength of my organic webbing.
Like how I shot through the air earlier, the S.U.V. slingshot in the inverted direction.
When it came towards me, I went intangible and the car went through me and I looked the driver dead in the eye as he and his friends yelled as if their lives depended on it.
Call me what you want, I don't care.
When they went by, the webs snapped apart, and the car went flying over a row of buildings.
I was expecting to hear a loud CRASH! but nothing came.
I went and wall ran up the buildings to see what happened, and when I did, I thought about the odd convenience of this.
The car landed without a scratch, hanging in a tree from the leftover webbing.
I blinked before jumping from the building and landing on and sticking to the hood of the sideways car.
I looked through the windshield and I saw that all four of these guys had passed out.
"I guess I went a little too far." I thought out loud.
Eh, whatever.
Afterwards, the cops came and I helped lower the car back to the ground.
With the four of them on their way to Ryker's, hopefully with the other thieves, I went on my trek back home.
Yet, when you get glances and looks from people when you're a person in costume when you've just done a heroic act, it's kinda hard to do that.
Never had attention like this before in a while.
At first, I was nervous, giving waves and smiles to everyone as I walked by, but as I kept going, I was gradually getting confident.
I did a little more than just waves, like high fives, pointing back at people, and doing a quick trick or two.
I liked this, but I think I've overused my stay.
Right when I stuck to a building and was about to go up it and back home I heard someone say, "Who are you?"
I turned back to the crowd and said, "I'm just your friendly neighborhood Techno-Spider. Catch ya around!"
I heard the crowd cheer for me as I wall ran up the building before web swinging on my way home.
