Chapter 4: Taskmaster

Y/n POV

I was closing my locked when I heard, "look who it is, it's the loser Furnell. I gave you two weeks off because of what happened to your dad, but that time is up."

I recognize that voice anywhere it's that of Troy Wilson. He's five inches taller, Caucasian, physically fit and just judging from his locker is a fan of Spider-Man. He's also been a bully of mine since the 5th grade. Oh what I would give to break his jaw.

But I didn't do anything and I let him do the 90's bully thing and shove me into a locker.

After Troy left laughing like a idiot Simon let me out and said, "can't you just break his jaw?"

"Ah yes break a students jaw because that won't backfire."

Simon: fair point. Anyway did you see, apparently people have started a podcast about us it's even tied to a blog.

"What's it called?"

Simon: The Online Web

I couldn't help but laugh at the pun and said, "I am definitely listening to that podcast."

Assembly

We were at the gym when the principal walked up to the microphone.

Principal: hello students of Midtown high. I know the last few weeks have been difficult for some of you since the outing of our former gym teacher. No one could have known except for the victims.

I mean if it counts I called it when I first saw him. I mean he looked like Jared Fogle before he became Subway's spokesman.

Principal: but we have finally found a replacement for him, everyone meet your new Gym teacher Mr. Tony Masters.

Masters walked up to the mic and said, "hello students. I look forward to unlocking all of your potentials."

(He's wearing a tracksuit)

I whispered, "so there's something up with him right?"

Simon: oh yeah definitely.

Gym class

We were in the gym and an obstacle course was set up.

Coach: I have set up an obstacle course for you all to evaluate your physical abilities.

He called us up one by one and eventually it was my turn so I acted like I was like I was before I had powers and made it look like I barely made it through.

After school

I was swinging over to a robbery that was in progress, but when I got there I saw a man in a skull mask standing over the knocked out baddies.

???: I thought you were a rookie, but not that much of one. Yeah I'm talking to you Spider-Man

"Thought so, but I don't feel like taking advice from someone that looks like the grim reaper."

I jumped down and saw that he was already behind me and he kicked me in the back and on my ass.

"Who are you?"

???: You're not asking the right questions. What you should be asking is how did I do that?

"Okay then, how?"

???: I am on another league than you kid. Not to mention more experienced, but how about we talk about this elsewhere Furnell.

"How do you know my... fine let's go."

We got far way from the scene before the cops arrived.

???: I'm your new gym teacher Tony Masters, but while we're working call me Taskmaster.

"So Tasky why did you set your eyes on me rather than the avengers."

Taskmaster: because you're a rookie, you need training and if you stick with me you can be better than all of them.

"What do you get out of it?"

Taskmaster: I don't feel like disclosing that information at this time.

"What if I say no?"

Taskmaster: then your identity will get out.

"I see your point."

Taskmaster: after school you and I will be meeting at the Statue of Liberty view point. Keep that in mind kid.

"Got it."

The next day 45 minutes after school

I finished lapping around Manhattan and Taskmaster says, "9 minutes. So you are fast, and you don't seem to be tired in the least."

"Nope, it comes with the territory of super powers."

Taskmaster: really? What else can you do?

"I can lift 15 tons, leap tall buildings in a single bound, take a hit from a truck head on, dodge a bullet fired at point blank range, crawl up walls, spin webs from the tops of my wrists, oh yeah and I also have retractable talons."

I held back the info on Accelerated vision and my spider sense as there's something about him that I don't like, but I can't figure out what it is, but my spider sense goes off when I see him and I don't know why.

Taskmaster: now let's get started give me 30 minutes of sit ups, 30 minutes of push ups, 30 minutes of abdominal crunches, 30 minutes of curl ups, another 30 minutes of push-ups, and a 600-foot platform jump into a swim across the Hudson.

"This is like a military boot camp."

Taskmaster: well I did modify military training regimens for this now get started.

3 hours later

I was on the ground gasping for air and taskmaster said, "you are terrible at swimming."

"I wasn't bitten by an aquatic spider. What were you bitten by, a genetically enhanced drill sergeant?"

Taskmaster: if you have time to joke you have time to train.

"Oh and a genetically enhanced dodgeball coach."

I was promptly kicked in the ribs and I got up.

Taskmaster: time for combat training.

"Yes sir."
