Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter and I'm happy to say this story now has over 50 followers and favorites! Thank you all for the support and hopefully more are on the way. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
We find ourselves at Winry's family Metal Shop as he told her about his new school.
"I can't believe I get to work with a genius like Otto Octavius. This is like a dream come true." Jaden said while Winry just giggled.
"You are such a science geek you know that?" She teases.
"Come on Winry at least be a little happy for me." Jaden said.
"So what does your idol having you do?" Winry asks.
"We're working on this advanced prosthetic limb technology." Jaden said.
"You mean like metal arms and legs?" Winry guesses.
"Something like that." Jaden said.
"Cool." Winry smiles.
Looking at her, Jaden couldn't help but chuckle.
"Really? You have the never to call me a geek when metal arms gets you geeking out?" Jaden smirks.
"Don't mess with me Cooper." Winry said shoving him.
"Hey! I didn't even break my board this time." Jaden said defensively.
Pausing Winry looked at Jaden's skateboard and noticed its seen better days.
"Jaden no offense but don't you want to get a new one?" Winry asks.
"Yes and no. A new one might be cool but honestly, this one has character besides you gave this one to me." Jaden reminds surprising her.
Picking it up, Jaden noticed the initials JC, WR and HO were carved along the edge.
"Wait this is that board?" Winry said surprised. "You kept it after all this time?"
"Of course. And when Harry got me the new deck art I wanted something to remind me who my friends were…so." Jaden gestures.
Hearing this Winry couldn't help but smile touched by this.
"You know maybe I can fix it up a little bit. Make it so it can take those long trips to your new school." Winry offers.
"For real? Oh man you are the best Winry." Jaden smiles handing her the board. "I promise I will make this up to you big time. I swear."
"You better. Now you better get going. Since you're walking to school you gotta move it and I've seen your PE grade pal. You need all the time in the world." Winry jokes.
"Oh crap, you're right. I gotta go." Jaden said grabbing his backpack. "Uh call me when you get it fixed up. Later Winry."
"Hey Jaden." Winry calls out just before he left.
"Yeah?" Jaden turns to her.
"Really glad to see you smiling again. If you ever want to talk don't hesitate." Winry said.
Smiling Jaden nods his head before leaving.
Looking at his board, Winry looked at the three sets of initials.
"How does he know just what it takes to make you feel special?" Winry sighs running her hand along it.
At Luna Nova, we find ourselves in the nurse's office when the pod holding Pam opened up.
Groaning Pam slowly stands up only to notice something was different about her.
As she slowly got her legs began to wobble making her about to fall to the ground when the plants hanging on the windowsill shot their roots out to act as bars for her to grab onto.
'What the?" Pam looks around and notices a mirror on the wall.
Walking towards it she gasps seeing her red hair flowing down her back and wearing a dress made entirely of leaves.
Looking at her outfit she pulls a leaf off but another one immediately replaced it.
Pausing Pam looks to the plants and with a wave of her hand all of them bloomed instantly.
Liking where this was going she waved her hand at the walls and suddenly flowers grew almost out of thing air
Cackling Pam loved her new powers.
"Oh I am gonna enjoy this and I know just where to start." She grins.
Meanwhile, in the Alchemy classroom, Jaden and Otto were working on their project together.
Hooking Otto up to a series of long cables he clipped the belt onto him.
"Are you sure you wouldn't want me to test it?" Jaden asks.
"I appreciate the enthusiasm Cooper, but I'm not gonna put you in too much danger on your first day." Otto chuckles.
"Sorry guess I got excited." Jaden frowns.
"It's fine Cooper. I invented this equipment I think I can handle it." Otto brushes it off.
"Alright, the link is set." Jaden said gesturing to the metal prosthetic arm next to Otto.
"Get ready, this is how we're gonna change the world." Otto grins.
Turning on the machine, Jaden watched in awe as everything turned on.
As Otto slowly moved his left arm the prosthetic began copying him.
"That's no normal prosthetic arm." Jaden noticed.
"Correct Jaden. With my technology I plan on making artificial limbs that work and function as well as if not better than normal limbs." Otto said.
"So by hooking those cables up to your body you're using neurological technology to control the arm." Jaden realized.
"Correct again." Otto chuckles. "Nice I can finally have a talk with someone who understands what I'm saying." As Otto gave him the thumbs up the metal arm did the same thing making Jaden chuckle.
However this fun moment was cut short as the system began to haywire and sparks began to fly.
"Aw man uh maybe we should abort." Jaden suggests.
"Not yet." Otto said eager to make this work but when sparks began short-circuiting near him Jaden sprang into action.
"Hold on!" Running to the emergency power button Jaden presses it cutting off the power off. "Doctor Octavius are you okay?" Jaden asks helping him out.
"A minor setback, but we're in the right direction." Otto said when the door opens revealing Prof. Ursula and Prof. Finnelan.
"Is anyone hurt? We heard a loud noise." Ursula asks concerned.
"No. We got it shut down just in time." Jaden said.
"The energy levels exceeded our expectations. But if you look at it from a certain viewpoint that's a very positive development." Otto said.
"It doesn't smell very positive." Finelan scolds.
"We're working that out. Trust me in the next phase of this project—"
"Why don't you focus on fixing this phase before you start getting ahead of yourself." Finelan said before leaving.
"I uh really hope you figure this out." Ursula said before leaving.
Sighing Otto sat down.
"I'll get a broom and clean this stuff up." Jaden said seeing how down he was.
"It's because of these experiments that the school felt I should work with a student from the program. They hoped this would be a subtle hint to take it down a notch." Otto admits.
"Wait what?" Jaden asks confused.
"Alchemy is a very dangerous science Cooper. The Science part I can figure out easily but it's always the magical components that prove to be a challenge." Otto said.
"Well maybe I can help." Jaden said getting his attention. "I mean I am taking a few lessons here. I can try and figure out the magic part while you keep rocking it on the Science part."
"I'm starting to like you Cooper." Otto smiles before looking at the clock. "Speaking of you better get to class before you get in trouble with Finnelan too."
"See you later Doc." Jaden said grabbing his backpack and walking out.
As he headed down the hall, he didn't notice another work program student walk by.
Looking at their phone the figure had Pam's name on the contacts.
"Come on Pam answer." She said before calling it but got a voicemail. "Uh hey girl it's me Red. Just checking to make sure you're okay so uh…yeah call me back."
However what she didn't know was that Pam's phone was in the nurse's office but Pam was long gone.
As the day was coming to an end we find ourselves in the last class of the day, but like last time since it was a spell class Jaden was cleaning or so they believed.
"Alright class now for today's lecture we are going to discuss the proper wand movements. Now each spell is very different and requires special movements." Prof. Badcock explains by showing the movements with her wand. "Watch closely and do what I do."
As the class took out their wands they copied her movements while outside the door Jaden tried using his hands to copy.
'Hmm I need to get inside. If I can just catch a glimpse.' Jaden thought before noticing something.
"All spells are different but they all require one thing." Badcock said when the door opened and Jaden walked in. "Young man, what are you doing in here?"
Looking down the class saw him walk in and while his friends Akko, Lotte and Sucy didn't seem to mind Diana's group just thought he was interrupting them.
"Uh sorry they uh sent me to get your trash." Jaden said gesturing to her full bin of papers.
"Oh yes. Well uh go ahead. Class pay attention." Badcock said as Jaden walked in and picked it up.
As he walked out Jaden stole a glance at Badcock's pose giving him an idea of how to cast spells before leaving.
'Not bad, but I can't do this all the time. I need another way to learn magic.' Jaden thought leaning against the door.
Suddenly Jaden's spider sense went off alerting him.
"Uh oh." Seeing that something bad was coming Jaden grabbed his bag and ran down the hall.
"Alright now who would like to demonstrate the proper movements for this spell?" Prof. Badcock asks as Diana raised her hand. "Aw Miss Cavendish proceed."
Diana raised her wand to take aim when suddenly the door opened again much to her annoyance.
"Alright who thinks that my class is something—" Before Prof. Badcock could finish a dozen roots shot through the door and smashed into Prof. Badcock knocking her to the ground unconscious much to everyone's horror.
"Uh is this part of the lecture?" Akko asks confused.
"I don't think so." Lotte said as the vines shot towards Diana.
Raising her wand, Diana deflected a few of them but one moved in and whacked her wand out of her hand while another yanked her to the center of the room.
"Diana!" Hannah and Cindy gasp when a large tree entered the room.
As it descended down, everyone looked in shock to see the transformed Pam approach Diana.
"Hello Diana. Not so fun when you're the one being pushed around is it?" Pam mocks.
"Who are you? I don't even know you." Diana said.
"Really? Well let me refresh your memory. I told to stay away from tree and you ignored me to try and save it on your own." She reminds making her gasp.
"Pamela Isley? What happened to you?" Diana asks.
"You happened to me. You made the pupae attack me and it infected me with its magic. But I guess I should thank you because now I can do this!" Swinging her arm a vine wrapped around Diana's leg and threw her to the wall horrifying everyone before throwing her to the ground.
Groaning Diana reached for her wand but Pam waved her hand causing roots to shoot out and tie her up and lifting her into the air.
"Pamela please just calm down." Akko calls out. "Look I know you're angry at Diana but revenge is not the right thing to do. I mean not even she could predict that bite would turn you into a plant."
"Ivy to be exact. Poison Ivy." She declares. "And do you really think I care? No. Because now that I have powers, I'm gonna use them to do things you witches are too spineless to do, but first I think a few of you need to be taught a lesson."
Sending tons of vines flying at them, Lotte grabs Akko and pulls her back.
As the girls ran to the back of the class, they tried to protect themselves but none of their lessons could prepare them for this.
"That crazy girl is gonna bury all of us under plants." Cindy said.
"Oh man I wish Spider-Man was here. He'd stop her." Akko said.
"Akko how many times do I have to tell you there is no such thing as a wizard called Spider-Man." Hannah said annoyed by this.
"Heads up!" A male voice calls out.
Swinging in Spider-Man punches Poison Ivy knocking her against the chalkboard as Diana falls free from her roots, Spider-Man catches her bridal style.
"Phew that was close." Spider-Man said.
"No way." Diana said in disbelief as he put her down.
"He's real?" Cindy said shocked.
"Spider-Man! Ha I told you he was real." Akko said as Spider-Man turned to them.
"Oh hey I remember you. You were the three girls I met in the forest. Uh what were your names again? Uh…Akko, Lotte, Sucy right?" Spider-Man asks pondering.
Squealing Akko smiles widely. "He remembers us? Did you hear that Lotte? He remembers us." Akko said shaking her in excitement.
"I know Akko I heard him." Lotte said.
"What a fangirl." Sucy mumbles.
"Good to see you three made here in one piece." Spider-Man said.
"Shouldn't you be focusing on the evil plant girl attacking us?" Diana points out.
"Take a chill pill Ice Queen I got this." Spider-Man said making Diana blush embarrassed by that nickname while Akko just snickered.
From behind Poison Ivy slowly got up.
Seeing this Spider-Man fired a web at the door and flung it open. "Attention Luna Nova students please exit the room in an orderly fashion. No pushing, no shoving, not biting, and please pick up your unconscious teacher and enjoy the rest of your day. Come on let's go let's go." Spider-Man said gesturing for them all to go out.
Seeing that it was either him or Ivy it the ladies did not put much of fight.
"Alright now that that's taken care of." Spider-Man turns to see Poison Ivy climb atop a large vine.
"So who might you be?" Poison Ivy glares.
"My name's Spider-Man. Look I don't know what's going on but taking it out on this school isn't gonna make things better." Spider-Man said.
"Oh don't care about this stupid school in the slightest. All the witches in this place young and old are just a bunch of spinless losers who don't have the backbone to do what needs to be done. I've hated this place since the moment I showed up, but now I have the power to make things better." Poison Ivy said.
"Better for what?" Spider-Man asks.
"For plants obviously." She grins.
"You couldn't just ask them to start a recycling program?" Spider-Man asks.
"Enough talking." Ivy hurls multiple vines at him but Spider-Man leaps up and crawls along the ceiling.
"You know I think we've destroyed enough of the inside. Let's take this outside." Firing a web, Spider-Man swings in and kicks Poison Ivy through the window.
As the two of them landed in the quad, all the surrounding classes noticed the two individuals.
"What the heck is that?"
"Who are they?"
From the window the mysterious Red noticed Poison Ivy and gasps.
"Pam?" Turning around the figure ran out.
"You really don't want to mess with me bug boy." Poison Ivy glares.
"You're right I don't. Look I don't want to fight you. I get it you're angry, you're confused, these powers show up and so many thoughts are going through your head right?" Spider-Man asks.
"Right." She said slowly going along with this.
"Look whatever your classmates did to you, this is not the right way." Spider-Man said.
"And what is? I try to ask people to listen to me and they ignore me. People come first. That's all I ever hear. No one cares about Mother Nature. No one ever listens to me." Poison Ivy said.
"Look I get it, it sucks being ignored but you don't have to take it out on anyone. Why don't you and I just go somewhere away from all this and we can talk?" Spider-Man suggests.
"You're I don't have to…but I want to." Poison Ivy grins evilly.
Creating a vine with multiple thorns, Poison Ivy flicks it at him like a whip forcing Spider-Man to dodge.
"I'm done trying to talk sense into people! If they won't listen to words, they'll listen to force!" She yells creating giant vines surrounding her ready to attack.
Hurling them at Spider-Man he fires a web to swing out of the way.
Letting go Spider-Man dives in and runs along the vines before delivering a kick knocking her to the ground.
Hearing the astonished noises and cheers Spider-Man turns to see all the witches of Luna Nova looking through the windows.
"Sup ladies." Spider-Man waves.
"You there!" From below Headmistress Holbrooke and Prof. Finnelan storm out.
"What is the meaning of this?" Finnelan asks.
"Uh oh teachers." Spider-Man said as Holbrooke notices Pam and gasped.
"Ms. Isely?" Holbrooke asks.
"Surprised?" She smirks.
"What are you doing? Stop this at once and come down." Holbrooke orders.
"Sorry Granny the days of you bossing me around are over. Poison Ivy doesn't take orders from anyone anymore." She declares.
"Stop this or we will expel you!" Finnelan said.
In response Poison Ivy fires glowing seeds at them.
Raising their wands both witches made barriers to deflect the attack.
Waving her hands, Ivy made vines shoot out from right under their barrier making the women smash against their own barrier and fall to the ground.
"You can't expel me because I'm leaving." Poison Ivy said.
Looking up to the roof, Ivy makes her plants fire again knocking the roof off the tall towers and plummeting down to crush the two staff members.
Gasping Spider-Man runs in and throws them out of the way just as the rubble came down on top of him.
"And the bug goes splat. Love to stick around but this plant girl has places to go and people to crush." Ivy cackles making her escape.
As Holbrooke slowly got up she saw where Poison Ivy was heading.
"Oh no she's going for the—" Before Holbrooke could finish Ivy escaped through the gate to the human realm. "What do we do?"
Suddenly they heard a shaking noise getting their attention. Turning around they saw Spider-Man emerging from the pile lifting all the rubble off him before tossing it off.
"Oh man that was way too close." Spider-Man said stretching only for both witches to aim their wands at him. "Oh really? What did I do?"
"Who are you? What is going on?" Holbrooke asks.
"Really? Have you not been paying attention?" Spider-Man gestures.
"No more games! We may not have her but we have you and you are—" Before Finnelan could finish Spider-Man fires a web covering her mouth.
Firing two more webs at their feet both were trapped where they stood.
"Hey!" Holbrooke snaps.
"Don't worry it'll wear off in a bit. Look I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta go stop her." Firing two webs Spider-Man steps back before slingshotting himself after Poison Ivy.
"Who is that guy?" Holbrooke asks while Finnelan was just making muffled angry noises.
Exiting through the gate, Spider-Man looks to see Poison Ivy was loose and somewhere in the city.
"Aw man where do I go?" Taking out his phone he tried to hack into the police scanners when a strange noise echoed from a channel.
"Attention to all units both Police and others." A female voice said getting his attention. "Poison Ivy is heading for CloroGene. You have to stop her."
"Hey whoever this is get off the police line!" A cop said.
"Spider-Man I saw you at Luna Nova and I know you can help her! Hurry!" The voice said before she was cut off.
"CloroGene? The Company?" Spider-Man pauses.
Seeing it was better than nothing Spider-Man decided to follow the lead.
Swinging after Poison Ivy, Spider-Man followed the path to the bridge where Poison Ivy's vines had ripped a giant hole along the edge. As several people were fleeing their cars, he noticed the hole was growing.
"Oh boy that's not good." Spider-Man said as several cars were about to fall over.
Firing webs, Spider-Man caught all the nearby cars before they plummeted over.
"Where are you, Ivy?" Spider-Man said looking around when he noticed vines heading towards CloroGene.
He was about to follow when he heard a yell.
"Help! Somebody, please help me my kid is trapped!" Turning around he noticed the man was gesturing to one of the cars he had saved.
Panicking Spider-Man looked from Poison Ivy to the car not wanting her to get away but when he saw the look on that man's face. The look of fear and horror at the thought his kid might be in danger, Spider-Man knew what he had to do.
Jumping off the bridge he landed on the car and rips off the trunk window.
"I want my dad! Help!" Inside a little boy was trapped in his car seat.
"Hey it's okay. It's okay." Spider-Man said trying to calm him down.
"Get away from me!" The boy panics.
"No no, it's fine." Spider-Man said before remembering Prof. Ursula's lecture. "Hey you want to see something cool?"
'The Light symbolizes hope and comforts people when they're afraid.' Her words rang in his head.
Holding out his hand, Spider-Man casts the light spell making a little ball of light float out in front of him and almost instantly the boy stopped panicking.
"Pretty cool huh?" Spider-Man said slowly pushing the ball of light towards the kid. "Here, go on hold it. It'll make you feel safe."
As the kid took the ball of light he smiles softly.
"What's your name kid?" Spider-Man asks when he sees a backpack with the name Jack on it. "Jack? That your name?"
"Yes." He nods.
"Let's get you out of here." Spider-Man said slowly climbing in.
"Are you some kind of monster?" Jack asks.
"What you mean like that creepy plant girl? Nope." Lifting the bottom part up to reveal his mouth. "Just a normal guy. Now I'm gonna undo this seatbelt and you're gonna hold onto me, okay?"
Nodding Jack waited for Spider-Man to unclip him but when he did the web holding the car suddenly shook making Jack nearly fall out.
"Whoa!" Firing a web, Spider-Man caught him before he fell too far.
Slowly, Spider-Man carried Jack back up to the bridge.
"I believe this is yours." Spider-Man said as the man pulls Jack into a big hug.
"Jack!" He smiles.
"Daddy!" Jack smiles hugging him back.
"Oh my son. My son." The dad cries happily filled with joy.
Seeing this Spider-Man couldn't help but sniffle thinking about his own father.
Slowly the father turned to him grateful. "Who are you?"
"I'm Spider-Man." He declares when he heard a loud noise.
Looking up he saw giant vines surrounding CloroGene.
"Sorry love to stick around but I gotta go. Your kid's okay and hopefully, someone can get your car." Spider-Man said firing a web and swinging after Poison Ivy.
As the father and son looked up at hero in awe, they couldn't but feel safe with someone like him out there.
Inside CloroGene, a security guard was sitting at his desk when he noticed his Bonsai tree moving.
"Huh? Confused he watches it climb out of its pot before a large vine grabs him and throws him to the ground.
Groaning in pain he looks to see Poison Ivy walk in.
Slowly reaching to his belt, he made a call. "Police." He whispers.
"Today marks the end for CloroGene. So get ready because it's now plants come first!" Poison Ivy declares as she made a giant tree shoot up into the air smashing through all the floors and more vines from the outside wrap around the building just as the news van arrives.
"What in the?" Running out Lois checked out the damage. "Aw man, where's Jaden when I need him?"
In the CEO's office, the man in charge looked down in disbelief when the window was ripped off allowing Poison Ivy to see his scared face.
"I warned you that this wasn't over." Poison Ivy said glaring at him.
"Please don't hurt me I'll give you anything." He begs.
"I want your company to burn to the ground." Grabbing him with a vine, Poison Ivy throws him out the window much to everyone's horror.
As the man screams in fear plummeting to the ground a web shot out catching him just before impact.
"Hey Plant girl!" Looking over, Poison Ivy saw Spider-Man punch her in the face sending her tumbling into the hall.
"Oh great it's you again. If you're here to try and talk me out of it again you're wasting your breath." Ivy glares.
"Sorry Ivy that deal has expired. I'm stopping you here and now. You can either do this the easy way or the hard way." Spider-Man said.
"Sorry Spidey but I'm doing this for Mother Nature." Poison Ivy said cracking her knuckles.
"It's a shame Mother Nature doesn't have hands because if she did you would get such a spanking." Spider-Man mocks.
As Poison Ivy hurls vines at him, Spider-Man jumps along the ceiling and crawls out to the main area so he could get more space.
"You can run but you can't hide. This has to be done!" Ivy said creating her throne whip and flings it at him.
Jumping off the ground, Spider-Man fires a web at her and yanks her in before throwing her into the wall.
"Hey here's an idea. Instead of turning everything into plants you just plant a few gardens, do recycling, composting, I hear there are even those weird swirly shaped lightbulb things." Spider-Man said.
"Humanity has had its chance and they blew it. Now it's time to fight back." Poison Ivy said getting up.
Hurling a vine at him, Ivy grabs Spider-Man by the arm.
Reacting to that, Spider-Man grows his stingers and slices the vines into pieces making Ivy gasp.
"Well if a hero doesn't make you nervous how about a lumberjack?" Spider-Man asks taking a stance. "Time to chop a few trees."
Hearing that, Poison Ivy was enraged. "I hate clear cutting!"
Roaring in anger she hurls more vines at him, as Spider-Man slashes away as many as he could Poison Ivy created a giant log and rams it into Spider-Man sending him crashing down through the glass and into the Employee lounge.
Panting heavily, Spider-Man slowly got up to catch his breath.
"Man that Pupae really supercharged her. I really wish I could have learned more spells before we fought. If I had ice I could freeze those stupid plants. Where's a flamethrower when you need one?" Spider-Man said looking around when he noticed a sink and a microwave nearby.
"Hmm that might work." Spider-Man said when Poison Ivy burst in behind him forcing him to jump out of the way.
"What's a matter Spider-Man all of jokes?" Poison Ivy mocks.
"Never, but I do have something for you. Think fast!" Creating a ball of light it Spider-Man throws it in front of Poison Ivy blinding her.
"What the heck?!" Cringing in pain Poison Ivy rubbed her eyes to try and get her vision back.
Using this opening Spider-Man fires a web at the sink and microwave ripping them both out of the wall and causing water and electrical cables to fall near Poison Ivy.
"Magic is one thing Ivy but there's another cool thing too. Science. Like take water it's made of Hydrogen and Oxygen but when the water mixes with electricity the hydrogen and oxygen atoms separate and what happens when mix those chemicals with fire?" Spider-Man asks.
As Ivy regains her sight she sees Spider-Man light one of her plants on fire before throwing it at the electrical water causing a powerful explosion and destroying all her plants.
Screaming in pain Poison Ivy falls out of the window and plummets to the floor, but just before impact a web shot out and caught her before impact.
Groaning Poison Ivy slowly looks to see the police arrive.
Stepping out of the cars a man with orange hair, a trench coat and glasses stepped out. This was the Police Commissioner James Gordon.
"Pamela Isely…I always knew you would be a bad influence on my daughter." He sighs.
"Look!" Lois points and they saw Spider-Man swinging away.
Narrowing his eyes, Gordon was intrigued by this vigilante.
Landing atop the gateway building, Spider-Man took off his mask and sat down.
"Man what a day." Jaden groans.
Taking out his phone he looked into the line where that mysterious voice told him about Poison Ivy.
"I don't know who you are but thank you." Jaden smiles before gathering his thoughts.
Pam Isley ended up in the same situation he did, but because she was so angry and bitter, she ended up choosing a different path than him even though he wanted to help her. And then there was that moment at the bridge when he reunited the father and son.
Maybe there was more to being Spider-Man than just beating up bad guys and stopping crimes. Recalling how happy Akko was back in the forest and the school and how happy the father was that his son was safe. Maybe there was more Spider-Man could do.
Smiling softly, Jaden suddenly heard his phone ring.
"Hello? Oh hey Lois what's up?" Jaden asks.
"Don't what's up me. There was huge battle at CloroGene and my cameraman wouldn't answer his phone." Lois said.
Cringing Jaden sat up. Grabbing his bag and rummaging around for his camera he looked at the pics and smiled.
"Don't worry Lois I got you covered. I'll uh email them to you in an hour." Jaden said.
"You better." Lois said hanging up.
Taking a deep breath Jaden felt relieved.
"One day down and who knows how many more to go." Jaden sighs.
