The Spectacular Spider-Men: The Great Web

CHAPTER-5: The Curtain Rises

THIRD-PERSON POV:

As Zain and Ritvik navigated through the dimly lit corridors of the museum, frustration gnawed at the edges of their determination. Tonight marked their first encounter with Mysterio, and the enigmatic villain had left behind a trail of confusion and uncertainty. With each empty exhibit and barren room they searched, their hopes of finding clues to Mysterio's whereabouts dwindled.

"This is hopeless. We've combed through every inch of this place, and there's nothing." Zain said, rubbing his head.

"It's like he vanished into thin air!" Ritvik yelled frustratedly. "How does someone just disappear like that?"

Their lack of understanding of Mysterio's powers only added to their frustration. The knowledge that Mysterio could induce realistic nightmares, potentially rendering them unconscious, loomed over them like a shadow, casting doubt on their ability to anticipate his next move.

"We're running out of time. We need to find him before he strikes again."

"Agreed. But how do we track down someone who can manipulate reality itself?"

Despite the uncertainty that clouded their thoughts, Zain and Ritvik refused to give in to despair. With determination burning in their hearts, they pressed on, their resolve unyielding in the face of adversity. As they ventured deeper into the museum's labyrinthine corridors, the echoes of their footsteps served as a testament to their unwavering commitment to protecting the city from whatever threats lurked in the shadows.

ARUSH KUMAR'S POV:
Location: Museum Of Natural History

I stood on the rooftop opposite the Museum of Natural History, waiting for the perfect opportunity to head inside and investigate the scene on my own. The police have no idea what they're getting themselves into, and to be honest- they're not suited to handle this level of threat on their own.

The night air was thick with anticipation as Agrim and I lingered outside the Museum of Natural History, our senses on high alert for any sign of trouble. The events that had unfolded mere hours ago lingered in the air like a haunting echo, a reminder of the chaos unleashed by Mysterio's illusions.

"Any sign of movement?" I asked Agrim.

"Nothing yet. It's too quiet." He shook his head.

Despite our best efforts to remain inconspicuous, the tension coiled within us, a silent testament to the uncertainty that hung over the museum like a shroud. With a shared glance, Agrim and I steeled ourselves for what lay ahead, knowing that the truth awaited us inside those ancient halls.

Stepping through the museum's imposing entrance, we were met with an eerie stillness that sent a chill down my spine. The exhibits loomed in the dim light, their silent guardianship a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded within these walls earlier.

"It's like a ghost town in here." I muttered.

"Tell me about it. Something doesn't feel right."

As we made our way deeper into the museum's labyrinthine corridors, our frustration grew with each empty display and barren room. The sense of foreboding weighed heavily upon us, a silent reminder that the answers we sought remained just out of reach.

"This doesn't make any sense. Where did everything go?" I said frustratedly.

"I don't know, but we need to find out." Agrim, who had clenched his fists, grumbled.

With a sense of urgency, I reached for my phone, dialling Zain and Ritvik's numbers in quick succession. The sound of ringing echoed through the empty halls, a beacon of hope in the face of uncertainty.
