The Spider

Purple Spider to the Rescue

I arrive at the scene of the fire in ten minutes. Not bad for coming from the middle of the big city, but when I arrive, the building is barely hanging on. The police have already arrived and formed a perimeter on the street.

When I swing in, I here a few gasps and see people pointing, but I know it's a good thing.

Suddenly, I hear a "help" from the building. And before I can comprehend what I'm doing, I'm breaking through a window, trying to find the person. My suit turns bright purple, almost pink, due to the heat. I begin coughing because of the smoke and my eyes water.

It doesn't take me long, but when I find the lady who called out, it turns out to be none other than the Scarlet Witch.

"Thor was right," she said as she turned to face me, "you would come."

I was fazed, sure. But right now was not the time to freak out, "And here I am. So what? Do we fight now?"

"Only if you make us."

"I'll only make ya'll if you guys try to bring me in."

She sighed, almost disappointingly, "Then I guess we do have to fight." And with that, she blasted me out of the near by window.

I was caught off guard by the blast, but when I hit the ground below the window, I land on my feet. When I do land, I scramble up the wall of the next building over. I have to get out of here. The firefighters can take care of the building. It was obviously a controlled fire anyways.

I make it to the next building's roof, but I'm met by none other than Mr. Thunder God Sir. He doesn't say anything. He looks kind of distracted. But he still puts up a great fight. But throwing his hammer, dodging my acrobatic awesomeness, and summoning the occasional lightning, wasn't enough. I soon had him webbed up on the roof and was swinging away. These guys were good. But they were fighting a particularly panicked spider.

I thought I was going to make it, I really did. But no, I was brought down to the ground when a heavy vibranium shield crashed into my rib cage. That was going to leave a mark.

I find it hard to breathe when I make it to my feet. But I don't have time to nurse my wounds because I find myself surrounded by Star Spangles and Mamma Spider. (AKA Black Widow)

"What," I breath out, "Is wrong with you people? Can't you see I'm just trying to protect people? Keep an eye on the little guys unlike you?"

They exchange a look and Captain speaks, "We just need you to come with us."

I laugh, "Yeah I've been told. But I don't really want to be the next experiment of SHIELD. So..." I pause for dramatic affect, "hard pass." I then use the conversation as a distraction, and web Black Widow at her feet, causing her to topple over. I then direct my attention to the Captain who was coming straight at me.

I move out of the way before he makes it to me and he runs into the ledge of the building. He almost falls, but I can't have a dead war hero on my watch, so I web him and sling him back. I make sure they are both down and stuck. Then I make my move to the next building. And the next.

I was finally out of reach.

Or so I thought.

I am in mid swing, almost to the roof of some office building, when a blast knocks me off my balance, causing me to stumble and fall instead of landing on the roof. I get up quickly, ready to fight, when I turn to see Tony Stark.

I internally groan.

Out of all the times I could meet Iron Man, it had to be the time I was a "wanted criminal".
