Chapter 18: Rapture

Y/n POV

I woke up to ringing from the computer.

I got up and checked it it seems the analysis on Rapture was complete. I looked at it and saw that the effects were as listed, "the binding of opioid receptors causing them to lose sensations like pain, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, auditory hallucinations, paranoia, image distortion, visual hallucinations, extreme anxiety." The list continues on further than this.

If someone overdoses on this it would be impossible to save them, hell even a normal dose has a chance of the user experiencing a mental shutdown if they're unlucky enough.

Wait if I'm looking at this right... oh... no... if someone takes this drug it will bind to the users DNA making them hooked for life. Withdrawal symptoms start to appear... within 2 minutes of last use or at most two days.

If this gets out it will lead to a huge epidemic killing more than the Black Death and the 1918 influenza epidemic. I need to stop this fast and find a way to counter act it.

I sent the results to Adrian with the message, "we need to stop this before it gets out of hand."

I have a feeling Alchemax has something to do with this, but I have to make sure the spread of this thing doesn't get out of hand before I attack it at the source.

I saw that there's a drug dealing going down here in midtown. So I jumped out of the window in my suit and swung to the location.

When I arrived I saw they were selling to a teenager. I jumped down and said, "at the expense of the sounding like a D.A.R.E. PSA don't do it kid it'll ruin your life."

I kicked the dealer in the face and he said, "shit it's the spider."

He pulled out a gun and I webbed it pulled it out of his hands and then kicked him in the face.

"Hey kid before you go. Did someone tell you about how to get this?"

Teen: uh... yeah, a guy by the name of Travis Roberts, he goes to Midtown high.

"Thanks for the tip kid. Also don't try to get this stuff again, a single dose might kill you."

I left the area and I got a call from an unknown number, I answered the call and it was almost all static, but a gruff voice in the static said, "look... in... Alche..."

The phone cut out from there and the call was erased from my call history instantly.

"What the hell? Well I have got to find out what the hell that was. After the Rapture problem."

Travis Roberts is the Advertiser so to speak... wait that means that my school is a hunting ground as well.

Lucky me I have an in with one of the popular kids, but before I play that card people need to be more aware. Time to look into Roberts.

Third period

I skipped class for the first time ever to look for Roberts. After all he's involved with drug dealing, he's likely not a model student and skips class often in order to look into him deeper I have to find him.

I found him around the back of the school. He was distressed and sweating badly, he seemed to be aching.

Roberts: dammit it's already kicking in I knew they'd shaft me with the supply, I need the rapture now.

"Hey uhhh Travis right?"

Roberts: Furnell you're skipping class? Ha, never thought I'd see the day, wait did someone tell you about...

"Rapture yeah... I need some of it, I need it, do you know how hard it is to act like the perfect student?"

I turned on the audio recorder and he said, "yeah I get it you're not the only point-dexter to come to me for it. So what you need to do is go to this place it's called the bar with no name, a place not even Spider-Man would know about, it's current location is in Harlem, here I send you the location on your phone, just give me your number."

I gave him the number of Adrian Thomson and said, "thank you, I'm going to need this."

Roberts: just don't die.

That night

I got a call from Adrian, I picked up the phone and he said "we got a lot more than just Rapture, we also caught a lot of small timers, with some Maggia gangsters."

"So how much did we get?"

Adrian: a storage room full, but nothing to tell who is supplying it seems that no one here could make it, but the dealer took off running.

I saw a guy wearing a yellow winter coat and and black jeans and I asked if that was the guy and Adrian said, "he matched the description."

I hung up and I webbed him to a street lamp upside down.

I dropped down in front of him and he said, "what do you want?"

"Did you sell the drug known as Rapture?"

Thug: if I confess will I get a reduced sentence?

"Maybe, but you kinda just did confess..."

Thug: fine, yeah I did sell it.

"What's your name?"

Thug: ...Herman.

"Well Herman judging from the fact you brought up a reduced sentence, you probably have someone you care about right?"

Herman: yeah my wife. We're uh going through a divorce though.

"Then you're not selling drugs for her are you?"

Herman: ...no... she's uh... She's pregnant with my daughter. I'm not exactly rich, and I want her to have a supportive family that I didn't have.

"Noble I mean you put more effort in raising her already than my mother did me, but this drug you're selling it could someone with a single dose, if this gets out it'd be catastrophic, do you want your daughter to grow up in an environment like that?"

Herman: no.

"Then who's you're supplier?"

Herman: ...some guy that works for Alchemax I never caught his name.

"Thank you Herman, you're daughter will too when she's growing up."

I got Herman down and stuck him to a wall and said, "sorry gotta make sure you don't escape."

Herman: yeah I got it.

"When you come out of this, try to do things the more conventional way next time around."

Herman: yeah I'll try.
