Hurricane | Peter Parker

Vigilantes | 8

Queens Community Bank,
October, 2016

"Finally, something good. Come on, your coming with me," he tells me as he grabs my lower arm and leads me to the edge of the building to get a better look at the bank.

"No, i can't," I try to remind him.

"Don't just waist your awesome powers. You can help so many people but you choose not to?" He pauses and moves his gase twords me, "plus you won't get hurt it just some losers robbing a bank."

"That's not what i'm worried about Parker."

"It's will be fun," he still tries to convince me.

"Fine, but just this once." I finally give in. He smiles and motions for me to follow him quietly down to the ground. We both stay in the shadow making sure they don't see us yet. By the time we cross the street and I can properly make out their faces I see they weren't wearing ski masks like normal robbers but instead each of they had a different avengers halloween mask on. There was a Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and Captain America.

Behind them, Peter silently comes through the door tries to strike a casual but cool-looking pose and I stand awkwardly nect to him. 

Peter clears his throat, "What's up, guys? You forgot your PIN number?" The robber turn to us and peter just notices their unusual attire, "Whoa! You're the Avengers. What are you guys doing here?" 

One of the robbers loads his gun but Peter uses his web to grab it and hit 'Iron Man' with it. He then proceeds to push 'Hulk' away."Thor.' Hulk. Good to finally meet you guys. I thought you'd be more handsome in person."

I shoot ice from my hands and froze 'Thor's' feet and arms together. I kick him in the stomach throwing him into the wall and he lets out a pained grown.

"Iron Man.' Hey, what are you doing robbing a bank? You're a billionaire." I hear peter say from the other side of the room. 

The 'iron man' that just got up from from the floor quickly reaches in his pocket and pulls out a small glowing gun and points it at me without hesitation he pull the trigger.

A blast of energy shoots right out into my chest. I wait for something to happen but it doesn't even affect me, the energy just spreads across my skin and disappears. 

"What the..." I say in shock. The 'Iron Man' looks to me then back to the gun then back to me again. 

I take the opportunity of him being distracted and I create a small tornado in between my hands and throw it twords him and it catches him and 'hulk' inside causing them both to hit the ceiling and collapse to the ground. I turn to spider-man and the only other robber standing 'captain america.'

'Captain America' picked up the high tech device that had been used to pull the metal chunk off the ATM and aims it at Peter. Peter jumps at him but is suspended in air for a short time. His voice is all distorted when he says, "Hey! Oh, this feels so weird." 

He is thrown against the wall, "hey, that's not very nice!" I yell to 'captain america' and I shoot a lightning bolt twords the weapon in hope that it would disable it but it doesn't do anything.

"Whoa, what is that thing?" Peter ask right before He is once more caught in the force field of the device and is thrown back and forth between the ceiling and the floor. "I'm starting... to think... you're not... the Avengers!"

With his sticky fingers, he holds onto the ground and shoots his web at a desk in the corner. He pulls on it and hits 'Captain America' with his force field device. "Alright guys, let's wrap this up. It's a school night."

Peter kicks 'Thor' into a glass wall, making it crack. 'Iron Man' holds up the force field device, but before he can do anything, I kick the device right out of his hands causing it to slam against the glass breaking it. Next to me Peter as Spider-Man jumps onto 'Iron Man,' and checks his face underneath the mask the he asks, "So, how do jerks like you get tech like this?"

Before either of us could react, 'Hulk' fires up a second device and I see it seconds before Peter does and I yell, "get out of the way!"

"No. Wait, wait, wait!" could be barely hurd as Peter Quickly pulls "Iron Man" and himself out of the way. The blast cuts through walls and hits Mr. Delmar's store across the street. The deli-grocery bursts into flames.

"Mr. Delmar!" I hear peter yell as he run outside.

"Shit" I mumble under my breath as I run twords the decimated store, then I yell to Peter "i'll put out the fire you get Mr. Delmar!"

Stoping at the sidewalk I close my eyes and hold my arms out in front of me. To anyone else it might have looked like I was crazy but actually I was on taking as much water molecules out of the air and clouds and mixing it with the artificial water produced from my powers. Once I open my eyes and i'm satisfied with the amount I rain it down right over top of the deli putting put most of the fire.

In those seconds, Peter helps Mr. Delmar, who is wheezing and coughing but alive, out of the no longer burning building. Murph the cat is safe in Peter's arms too. But when I turns to the bank, I finds that it is empty. The robbers had escaped. The cat started to meow so Peter quickly handed Murph to Mr. Delmar.

I tap the side of my mask and my artificial intelligence 'sunday' and the mainframe screen pops up showing that it was "7:37."

Jogging up to Peter who turned away from Mr. Delmar I walk next to him and I quickly says, "I never doing that again, you know all the 'it's going to be fine' stuff did nothing and now they're gone."

"You could have gone them. I could have handled Mr. Delmar." He complained as we walk into the shadows.

"Then what would you have done to that burning building then. Just left it to spread?"

"Well... I would have improvised," Peter stammered. At this point we were almost completely hidden.

"Like that would have done any good," I joke and he playfully shoves me to the side.

For a second I contemplate telling him about the energy blast but decide to wait for another time since I seemed fine.

  "Anyways as much I would love to stay and chat, I got to go. Don't want to be home late and you should get going too." I suggest.

"Umm... okay bye!" He calls to me as i walk away. 

"Bye spidey call me in the morning!" I yell back.
