The Unlimited Omni-Spider

Chapter 28

After spending some time patrolling the city and chatting, Ben and Casey were now web-swinging as fast as they could.

Casey: Dude, I know you want to get there. But calm down, Frankie won't leave Earth for another three months.

Ben: Maybe not, but I'll soon find out what he has to say about my powers. He's the only one who has power like mine and he's more experienced. If I can't ask him for help then I don't know who to ask.

Casey: Oh, okay makes sense- He says and then Ben turns his head while still in the air.

Ben: I just hope he's...-He was saying, but then a drone hit him in the face. However, strangely, the drone bounced and went backwards.

Casey: The Drone...bounced?

Ben: Wait a minute- He says and then they both land on a roof.- Did you see what I saw?

Casey: Watching you get hit by a drone but the drone not even touching you? Yes, I saw. And that was really weird. Did your Spider-Sense not warn you of anything?

Ben: No, that's the weird part. I feel like the drone wouldn't even hurt me and I think I acted alone. Or rather, my spider-sense reacted for me.

This ended up giving Casey an idea, maybe Ben was constantly evolving and his spider-sense having done something like that proved his theory.

Well, to prove a theory you need to do a test.

Casey looks around the roof they are on and he notices that they are in a building in a residential area and he can see objects like bricks and wooden boards on the roofs, probably there was some renovation going on or something.

Casey: Wait here, I have an idea.- He says and then he runs towards the other roofs and Ben is standing there not understanding what Casey planned to do.

While thinking, Ben noticed that someone was calling him and he decided to answer the call.

Ben: Hello?

Sora: Hi, how are you?

Ben: Oh, hey, Sora.

Sora: You didn't know it was me?

Ben: It's just that I hadn't saved your number yet. Wait, how did you get my number?

Sora: Dawn had May's number and mine gave me her number. She is cool. She's like you, only taller.

Ben: Nah, that's not something impressive. I'm shorter than anyone I know. Seriously, I'm 15 years old and I'm only 1.67 m tall.

Sora: I'd say I'm average in terms of height.

Ben: How tall are you, I never paid attention.

Sora: I'm 1.73 m. Does that bother you?

Ben: No, I was just curious. And that's fine with me, it's even nice to know that you still like me even though I'm the second shortest person in my family.

Sora: The second person? Who's the first?

Ben: My Uncle Logan. He's actually my godfather. He is 1.60 m. But no one says that around him otherwise he shows his claws.

Sora: Wait, Logan? Does he have a lot of hair, smoke cigars and drink beer all the time?

Ben: That one, have you met him?

Sora: He's kind of like Dawn's grandfather so more or less. I've heard of him. I like Dawn but sometimes it's hard to follow her family tree.

Dawn: You're not the first one to say that.- Ben can hear Dawn's voice on the call.
