Spider-man: Start of a hero

Rise of an Angel

I wake up to see the morning sun in my eyes. I block out the light and head downstairs. I look toward the living room to see my sister passed out on the couch. I head toward the kitchen to fix up a bowl of cereal. I reach for the box and pour it in the bowl, then putting the milk in.

I sit at the table and turn on the news. I see some damage reports and another strange one. It's about some sort of angel. A girl with wings to be exact. The last sighting was last night and the video shows her saving some people.

I guess I should look into this.

I check the clock to see it's noon and I have time to kill. I check upstairs to see no one is here except me and Jackie. I decide to look up some things about Rockwell. I pull out my phone and Google him up.

There's many allegations toward him but no one's provided evidence so far. It tells of how he's convicted of treason and illegal dealings. I try to Google up symbiote, but no results of origins come up.

I turn off my phones screen and look at the time. It's 4pm and kinda light outside. I leave out the backdoor and swing away. I head toward the tallest building in the city and stand on the ledge. I look down at the many people walking on the streets.

I wonder when this angel will show. Maybe she works for Rockwell. Hiding under some kind of heroic image to hide her true intentions. I guess I'll find out tonight.

It's 8pm and still no sign of this angel. I take out my phone and start to play on it a bit. I see it's getting really dark outside and turn off my phone screen. I look up at the sky, thinking about leaving soon. Then suddenly, a big object flies fast above me. I look over the ledge to see it flying near the streets.

I jump over and dive down toward the street. I form wings and fly quickly toward it. I fly beneath it to see its a girl with long black hair and mixed skin. Her eyes are brown and she's kinda shorter than me by a few inches.

“ Hey, can we talk?" She looks at me surprised at first but then her face returns to normal. She smirks and speeds up. I keep up with her and smirk. “ You wanna race? Fine, but if I win we talk, deal?"

She looks at me and nods. She speeds up faster than before and I struggle to keep up. I fly to the left and use my symbiote to blend in with the buildings. She slows down looking around for me. I fly in front of her and smirk.

“ I win!" She gasps in shock and stops mid air. I stop with her and smirk. “ So where'd you like to talk?" She points to a building on the left and we fly toward it. She lands on the ledge and I land behind her. I retract my wings and sit in a crouch position.

“ First thing, what's your name? And do you work for Rockwell?"

She looks back at me and smiles. “ My name is Chanté, and I would never work for Rockwell." Her voice surprises me, it doesn't sound angelic but completely normal. “ Are you a real angel, or some human with wings?"

“ I'm no angel, but how I got these wings aren't of your concern." Her tone changes to a sad one when she says that. “ I wasn't concerned, but why be a hero now? What made you do this?"

“ After seeing the destruction that Technomancer was causing I tried to help. I evacuated people out of buildings and tried fighting off some of the Technodroids."

That explains why I haven't noticed her. She must've been fighting since before I got on the scene. That explains why no one was in the buildings when I got here.

“ Well you did a really good job. Not bad for a first time heroic act. You should stick with me, I can help you."

She looks up trying to think and looks back at me. “ How could you help me?"

“ I'm a good hero, trust me. I've faced 3 supervillains so far and won. The battles were hard but I did it."

I walk closer toward her and try to make eye contact. “ There's a greater threat out there. His name is Rockwell. He's responsible for a lot of the crime in this city. He has to be stopped before he destroys this city. Will you help me?"

She stands there puzzled by what I said. She looks at me and smiles. “ If I do help, what's the plan?" I stand there, shocked by not thinking about this before.

“ Um, the plan? The plan is simple, we'll.... Break in Rockwell Inc. " She looks surprised by this but I keep explaining. “ If we break in there, we're sure to find evidence against him, plus it'll give me a chance to check his inventory for some bad biological experiments. "

I shouldn't tell her about the symbiotes. I'm not sure how she'll react, plus the less known the better.

“ Sounds good, but how can we meet up again? We obviously can't do it tonight. "

“ Could I get your number? I won't text unless it's important. "

She thinks it over for a second and nods. “ Okay, got your phone on you?" I take out my phone and go to my contacts. She enters her number and makes her contact name Chanté. I put my phone in my pocket and look at her. “ So beside flight and wings, what else can you do?"

“ So far I have enhanced strength, speed,reflexes,and agility. My wings can blow strong forces and are retractable like yours. I can form talons from my hands and I carry two daggers just in case."

“ Your powers are amazing, but it makes me wonder which one of us are stronger." She smirks and pulls out a dagger. “ Let's have a friendly sparring match." She throws it and I dodge it. It lands in the building behind me. She tries to punch me but I dodge it and catch her fist. I push her back and she lands on her feet.

She forms talons from her hands and rips at my chest. My symbiote heals it and I grab her hands. I throw her against a building and web her to it.

“ I win." She tries to struggle out of it but gives up. “ Fine, I give up." I take off the webbing and she gets off the wall. “ It's getting late so I guess I should go." She walks up to me and hugs me. “ Goodnight."

She dives off the building and flies away. I look as she flies away and take off. I fly toward home and sneak into my window. I conceal my symbiote and look at my phone to see it's 11pm. I look down the hall to see my sister in her room and my mom sleeping.

I sit down on my bed and turn on the TV. I watch the news as I drift asleep.

I guess having a new ally will help with taking down Rockwell. But can I really trust her? She seems nice, but can she handle this? I guess we'll see tomorrow.
