The Unlimited Omni-Spider

Mysterious Manifestations

Ben and his siblings were now walking through New York, bound for Empire State University.

Casey: Why did we have to come with you!?

May: Because Mom and Dad said you had to keep your college options open and you, Casey, don't even care about that.

Casey: Aren't we smarter than most people already? We helped Val with a Forever Gate repair. Also known as the most powerful portal in the universe! I don't want to waste my time with the school crowd when I could be doing something useful on my Saturday.

Ben: Are you going to keep yelling our secrets out on the street or do you want me to give you a megaphone so Aunt Rachel can hear you from her vacation home on the moon?

Casey: What I'm trying to say is, why bother with stuff like that? We are already smarter than most people and we should focus on fighting crime.

Ben: We're more than superheroes, Casey. We can help people in more ways than almost getting crushed by walls five times a month.

May: Ben is right, little bro. If you're so obsessed with being a superhero, you'll go crazy at some point and start forgetting who you are.

Casey: Okay! I'll give it a go. But I can't promise that I won't sleep during classes!

May: That's all I ask- May says and the three of them laugh in unison.

-OOO-

The three arrive at their destination and begin the tour. They passed the library, cafeteria, and now they were in the labs.

Guide: We have state-of-the-art equipment, all of which can be used by our students to put their research into practice- He says and May raises her hand.

May: Do you have Stark Tech Titanium Centrifuges and Software Prototyping?

Guide: Yes we do and I'm surprised that someone your age knows this equipment, miss...?

May: Parker. May Parker.

Guide: Well, Miss Parker, know that I am now rooting for you to join our institution.

May: Glad to hear that.

May didn't notice but Billy, the Midtown High bully, was a little far from the group and seemed to be pissing Ben off.

Billy: What's up, Parker? You were so upset about my prank the other day and you're going to give up playing?

Ben: At least I've got something that will make me rich, you've only got muscle and a hair full of gel- Casey notices the argument and intrudes on the conversation.

Casey: Forgot to mention a future full of dumb girlfriends with an unusual lack of intelligence.- Billy looks poised to punch Ben but May runs in and grabs his fist.

May stares at him with a death glare.

May: Hi. Billy...- She looks at him and Billy is afraid of her expression and starts to shake

Billy: Eh...hi May...what are you doing here...?

May: Holding on so I don't kill you. Listen. I hate that anyone messes with my brothers so if you can, please stay away from them and go back to the tour group- She moves closer to his ear.- I won't have to break your arm.

Billy quickly backs away and starts running away from May as quickly as possible.

May had a reputation as a bully among boys. She used to get into her brothers' fights and intervene to prevent them from doing something stupid. The boys were terrified of her and saw her as a kind of security for their brothers.
