Incredible Spider

Chapter 55: COME AND GET ME

We were waiting for something...anything to happen. The silence was actually more frightening because we didn't know what would happen. We didn't know who would come, we didn't know anything except Screenslaver was making a move.

"Hey Peter?" Violet asked me.

"Yeah?" I responded, still remaining vigilant of our surroundings.

"If we all get out of this okay, want to go for that movie?" She asked me. It caught me off guard, but not too much that it fully distracted me.

"Sure. Sounds fun," I replied. A knock was heard at the door and Dash was about to run down to open it. My Spider Sense went off and I shot a web line to hold Dash back.

"DON'T. Don't open the door," I warned.

"It might be Lucius though," Dash said.

"Spider Sense is going off like crazy. There is nothing good behind that door. Let me look from the ceiling," I instructed. Dash hesitated and then nodded and ran back to Violet. I leapt onto the ceiling and crawled along it to get to the window. I saw that it was...

This can't be right. I thought to myself. It was Brick, Reflux, Screech, Voyd, He-Lectrix, Krushauer, Kurt and Lara outside. They all had these...weird goggles on. That were glowing blue on the eyes. They all had blank looks on their faces and they kept knocking over and over again. It was unnerving to no end, because they seemed like...they weren't themselves. Thankfully, Lucius came in his full Frozone suit and was behind the group.

"Now excuse me. What are you all doing here?" He asked the group.

"Ms. Deavor told us to guard the kids. She said they aren't safe," Kurt said in a monotone voice. Which I have to say...the German accent....adds to his intimidation factor. Which made me concerned...

Evelyn's smart, she would know something's wrong. Why would she send them if they were like this? I thought to myself. I saw that Dash had his hands behind his back. So I knew that he must've had a plan in case things go south. I decided to intervene, dropping to the ground and opening the doors.

"Well that's a bit redundant. Since Mr. Incredible told Frozone to help me guard the house. Since these kids. Aren't. Safe," I said, leaning to the side to let Frozone in.

"See? Glad you understand Spidey," Frozone said in his suave tone.

"Tell Evelyn I'm glad she's concerned. Frozone and I can handle it. Thank you guys, get back safe," I said as I went to close the doors. Voyd put her foot in the way. That's when I got a bad feeling again. Not my Spider Sense this time...it was a Parker feeling. Something my uncle taught me from a young age...that gut feeling that something is definitely something missing here.

"The thing is. Ms. Deavor wants us to bring you too," Voyd said in the same monotone voice.

"Hey now...let's just chill out!" Frozone said as he blasted everyone back with a freezing blast of air. I slammed the doors shut and sealed them up with webbing.

"That ice won't hold them for long!" Frozone said.

"And too many of them are able to teleport! The webbing won't hold them back!" I said.

"We need to get you all out of here to my car!" Frozone instructed as we ran around, trying to find another way out. Nightcrawler cut us off by teleporting in with He-Lectrix and shooting electricity at us. We ran the other way, only for the door to be thrown in front of us as Brick jumped onto the upper floor in front of us with X23 on her back. I ran and dropkicked them both down to the bottom floor as Frozone made an ice ramp guiding the kids down as Dash tried to run, but Screech used his...well sonic screech to break the windows and fly in. Violet doubled back with Jack Jack and He-Lectrix started blasting electricity down at her. I rushed up grabbing her and turning my back to He-Lectrix. I took the full force of the electricity and it disoriented me.

"Peter! What are you doing?!" Violet asked in shock.

"I dunno why I thought electricity would feel the same as when I blocked bullets underwater. Just my protective instincts. No one gets hurt on my watch," I said, repeating when I willingly put myself in danger to protect them back on the island. Dash pushed a button on some sort of remote and I saw Krushauer coming down and I ran over and webbed his feet to the ground. X23 ran up and slashed the webbing, freeing Krushauer. I sensed Reflux behind me and immediately webbed his mouth shut, thinking that would work. Then I remembered he could basically breathe lava. He burned through my webs and I had to dodge being badly burned. That's when I noticed something....strange. The wannabes...they seemed like they were focusing on Frozone and myself initially. Which I found strange...until I started thinking about it.

Elastigirl and I would be on Screenslaver's radar, since we've been actively stopping his plans. Frozone though? Frozone's part of the later phases of the gameplan, why would Screenslaver be focusing on him too. Even then, how does Screenslaver know the wannabe heroes?! They never met! He wouldn't know them...unless...Screenslaver someone who knows everything about the plan! That's when more and more things started linking together for me...towards Evelyn.

Evelyn's the technical side of DevTech. She would know how to operate the broadcast satellites, so she would know how to hijack the signal of the initial broadcast and put out something else to the audience. She's always late, coming in with fistfuls of blueprints. She was there when we were told the plan, she would know who the wannabes are! All signs point to Evelyn being Screenslaver, but how would she be able to help us while also being Screenslaver?! Those broadcasts, those messages were live...weren't they? My brain was in a whirlwind trying to think of a plan. Things only got worst when Brick got a hold of Frozone and slapped another set of those goggles on him. They glowed blue, Frozone passed out and then he started going after me. They all started going after me, the only time the kids got targeted was when they tried to fight back and protect me. I got an idea and shot webbing into all of their faces, blinding them for a bit as I rushed to my room. I grabbed a small spider shaped tracker and put it on the back of my neck under my suit. I grabbed the tracker's interface remote.

Violet POV

Okay! We just saw uncle Lucius get controlled by these people and now they're trying to get Peter. When we try to fight back, we get thrown back by the blue haired girl's portals. That's when Peter jumped onto the ceiling, holding a remote.

"Violet! Catch!" He yelled as he threw the remote to me. I fumbled a bit but caught it. It had a screen with a red spider icon on it. Then when I looked back up at Peter, I could tell from the look on his lenses. He looked like he wasn't playing anymore, he was dead serious...and he looked furious.

"HEY YOU MIND CONTROLLED STOOGES! YOU WANT SPIDER-MAN?! COME GET SPIDER-MAN!" He yelled as loud as possible as he ran on the ceiling and dove out the window.

Peter POV

I threw myself out the window and started swinging and leaping along the treeline and ran along the forested area. As I was now making them chase me, I had time to think.

If Evelyn is Screenslaver, then she might've pre-recorded everything. Then when we started investigating, she needed someone to blame. So she might have created those goggles and used Flash as her scapegoat. So when Flash was arrested, she probably thought she could just keep her plans going without us getting in the way. My thoughts were interrupted when my Spider Sense started going off when someone was....in front of me. I saw a set of eyes....that looked like my mask's....glowing the same blue.

"Gwen?" Was the only word I could get out before I was covered in webbing and knocked out.

Violet POV

Once everyone got the webbing out of their eyes, they all chased after him. I looked at the thing Peter gave me, the red icon was moving...in the direction Peter was going in. It was a tracker...he's entrusted everything to us...oh boy.
