Spider-man: Start of a hero

Heroes And Villains

Wake up

I stir in my sleep as I hear a voice.

Wake up

My eyes begin to flutter open.

Wake up

I force myself awake to see my sister looking at me.

“ that Spider-man is gonna make an appearance downtown." I rub my eyes and look at her. “ and how do you know this? "

“because some big guy is downtown chucking cars and fighting the cops."
Well today started well

I get on a T-shirt with some jeans and look to see it's 9am. I command the liquid to cover my body and swing off.

Let's see, what's the plan of attack? I could just ask him to stop. What's the worst that could happen.

I swing down to see the police trying to shoot at the large, shirtless man. He throws a car at the police and I shoot a web net down to catch it.

I land on it and see the large man looking at me. “ stand down officers, I'll handle this." I jump from the car and walk down, standing about 2 cars length away from him.

“who are you? Are you one of rockwell's agents? " he says in a booming voice.

Rockwell? What does he have to do with this?

“ well you can cram it, I'm not going back there. This power feels to good for anyone but me to have " he clenches his fist and puts his hand on a car.

“ I'm not an agent of Rockwell, but I have come to ask you to stop. This has gone on long enough." He looks at me and begins to laugh.

I guess asking is out of the question.

“ nice one, but I'm unstoppable. There's no one who can stop me now, especially you!" I jump on a car and look at him.

“ if you don't stop I'll -"

“ you'll what? What can you do to stop me? He picks up a car with both hands and looks at me.

“ Catch!" He throws the car toward Me. I duck and attach a web line to the bottom of it. I stand up and pull on the web line, making the car start to spin around me.

I let go of it as it heads toward the man. He stumbles back and looks at me. “ you'll pay for that! " I look at him and laugh. “ what are you gonna do? " I say in a mocking voice. 

He begins to charge at me, flipping cars over as he approaches. I jump onto a building and look at him as he stops. “ come back down here! " he picks up a car and throws it at me. I jump down to the ground when I look up to see him charging again. He punches me back and I hit a car, denting it.

I get up to end up receiving a punch from him. He throws another and I dodge and punch him back. He stumbles back a bit and punches me again when I notice something.

That hit was softer, what does this mean?

I look at him, noticing he's gotten smaller, barely inches above my height. “ oh no the change is wearing off"

Change? That means I have a chance!

I attack him with a flurry of punches, leaving myself open for his attacks. They get softer as the battle continues and eventually painless. I stop to look at him being a frail, skinny man. “ is that all you got? " he says in a woozy voice.

I punch him in the face, blowing him into an officers hands. “ sorry for that, he made me mad." I swing away and begin to tire. I head for a nearby building and rest.

That fight really messed me up.

I stand back up and begin swinging again. I start to think about what that man said. Who are you? Are you one of rockwell's agents?

Could this mean Rockwell, the owner of Rockwell Inc has been up to something?

I arrive home and limp into bed. My mom arrives and looks at me. “ what are you doing? It's 2pm, much too early to go to sleep." I look at her exhausted.

“ sorry mom, I'm worn out from running, it's just a nap I'll be up in 2 hours" she looks at me and yawns. “ I guess we could both use naps, see you later then " she flicks off the light and leaves.

I go to rub my soar ribs and head to sleep. I wonder what else today will have in store.
