Recording… … …
"Holy shit! Are you getting this right now?!"
"Hoho! Dude this is awesome!"
Two young high school kids held their phones up to the sky. Recording what seems to be a fight between three people. The two kids were hiding nearby a corner of a large building, shifting from time to time to get the best angles on the fight.
"Dude who are these guys!?" Highschool kid #1 asked, adrenaline rushing through his body as he recorded one of the combatants using strange strings to swing from building to building.
"Look at that guy! He's like… Sending shockwaves out of his hand!" Highschool kid #2 commented. The two students ran after the three not caring for their safety as others ran past them.
"Argh!" A young boy hit the ground hard but the two students couldn't tell who he was as he was wearing a Captain America mask. The stranger quickly got up from his feet and turned to the two students.
"What the hell are you doing!? Get out of here, its too dangerous!" The stranger yelled. He noticed their phones were pointing at him and aggressively yanked them out of their hands.
"Hey! What the hell man!?"
"Give that back!"
"I'll give it back when you guys are safely out of here alright?!" The stranger said placing the phones in his nicely tailored pants. The stranger bent his knees and blasted of the ground with a high jump, shocking the two spectators. With nothing to record the two students cursed silently and started to run to the direction of safety.
"Freaking kids and their phones! Ah… I guess I shouldn't say that." The stranger said taking out the two phones and stopping the recording.
Recording Ended… … …
Callum deleted the footage of the battle and placed the phones back into his pocket. He looked up and saw Peter slightly struggling with the fight. He jumped back into the fray jetting towards the oddly armoured criminal.
"Peter!" Callum yelled sending a flying kick at the criminal's chest, blasting him into a building wall.
"Where the hell did you go?!" Peter asked landing atop of the building the criminal crashed into. His brother landing down right beside him.
"I uh… Had to get rid of some video evidence" Callum explained.
"You brats don't know who you're dealing with!" The criminal screamed from below. The two sensed danger coming beneath their feet. Callum jumped whilst Peter web zipped out of the vicinity as a large shockwave rode up the building making a half pipe up the building.
"I know!" Peter answered firing his web at another building and swinging around it, creating a scary amount of momentum. As he came back around, he let go of his web and sent a full force kick right into the criminals back, propelling him through the building he crashed into.
"ARGH!" The shockwave villain bounced on the ground like tumbleweed being blown by a strong wind. He eventually stopped abruptly when he crashed into a near garbage truck. The force of his crash forced the truck to tip over, but Callum landed just behind it and side kicked it with all of his might. The truck was sent flying back the other direction along with the villain.
"So, do you want us to tell you your name or? Can we just call you Shocker?" Peter joked webbing up the flying truck multiple times. He gripped all of the webbing and jumped over the truck, using all of his strength to pull the truck above him. "ARGH! DID YOU HAVE TO KICK IT THAT HARD?"
"Sorry!" Callum yelled, he didn't really know how hard he needed to kick it, so he just decided to do whatever. "I guess next time I kick a garbage truck I'll go easier on it"
"Alley-oop!" Peter yelled swing the truck above his head and throwing it down onto the concrete road, villain face first. Peter landed a few meters away from the truck and Callum ran over beside him.
"You think that did it?" Peter asked his brother, but his facial expression didn't seem to sure of it.
"Dunno. For all we know that armour might be mad strong" Callum commented, and their guesses were correct.
*BANG*
A huge shockwave pulsated from the underneath the truck, blasting the truck 40 feet into the air, pushed back the two brothers, sending them crashing into windows. The pulse also broke glass in buildings, cars, and disabled electrical systems on a 100-meter radius. The funnily named Shocker rose from the ground, hurt badly but still functioning. His gauntlets were pretty beat up but still operational.
"Stay out of MY WAY" Shocker screamed bashing his gauntlets together sending a concentrated shockwave at the two brothers.
"ARGHH!"
"ARRHHHGG"
The two brothers screamed in pain as the shockwave kept pushing their bodies through the cement walls. They could feel their flesh being pushed to the point where it could touch their bones, until the cement finally gave away and blasted the two brothers down four blocks and multiple buildings.
"Oh… Shit… Ok… That hurt" Callum groaned getting up from the intense shockwave. He could barely feel his body and his suit was all torn up.
"That… Is one… Powerful thing huh?" Peter said appreciating the tech even though he just got his ass handed to him. As the two got up, Peter shook and his head, feeling a little dazed from the shockwave. The attack made their bodies trembling and hard to balance but it was still manageable. "Huh?"
"Whats wrong?" Callum asked looking at his brother. Peter's mask was ripped corner to corner, only one half of the mask remaining on his face. The amount exposed was enough to expose Peter, and Callum felt the same way when Peter looked at him a tad too long. "Shit!"
"We can't stay here" Peter suggested the obvious. They could hear sirens coming from east, west, north and south. Some civilians were starting to get braver and hurried to get their phones out.
"Well we can't just leave here and let the guy—" Callum started before hearing a large boom where the Shocker was. The two-saw leap from building to building above them and fled towards the South-East side of Manhattan.
"Oh… Well that's convenient!" Peter commented happily.
"Yeah, less celebrating, more getting the hell outta here" Callum added. The younger brother jumped off the ground after getting feeling in his legs again and landed atop of the rooftops. Peter jumped and swung from the nearby buildings, landing in front of his brother blocking his way.
"You go first. I need to go find Felicia" Peter said, and worry overcame his younger brothers face,
"What? Don't tell me you just left her somewhere?" Callum asked, hoping Peter didn't ruin his chances. However, Peter shook his head, relieving the stress in his heart.
"I'll tell you later okay? I'll meet you back at home! Promise!" Peter said, before jumping off the rooftops swinging in the direction where the bank was. Callum watched as his brother swung away, and remembered something…
Callum reached into his pockets and sighed heavily when the phones he held onto were broken from the blast. He reached into his other pocket and was surprised to find that the tickets were still intact. However, he doesn't know how he's going to replace the two students' phones… He had no job after all.
"Great… More problems…"
"Felicia… Please be alright!" Peter kept on worrying in his head. He came over the bank and saw multiple police cruisers, helicopters, firetrucks, and ambulances. As to not garner any attention towards himself, he swung over an alley way thinking it would be a good spot to secretly land in. When he did, he ran over to the closest exit and started scanning around for a platinum blonde.
"Ugh… It would be so much easier up there…" Peter said to himself taking off and throwing the broken mask into the alley way. He started to make a run outside, calling out her name. "Felicia?! Felicia?! Felicia?! Where are you?"
"Pete!" The platinum blonde came from behind and hugged him tightly. Peter startled by it almost instinctively threw her over her shoulder. He didn't understand how she was able to sneak up on him. It didn't matter to him, all he wanted to know at this point, was that she was safe.
Felicia released her hug from him and Peter turned around scanning her body for any injuries. He sighed in relief as she was completely okay, maybe a little dirt on her clothing but that was it. Peter was so concerned with her he didn't even notice his injuries, something Felicia caught immediately.
"Oh my god Pete?" Felicia quietly shrieked. His clothes were all tattered, jeans were ripped, and he had a couple of cuts and scraps on his hands and legs. "What happened!? A-are you okay?"
Peter took a look at himself and was surprised at himself for not noticing. He didn't feel that much pain. Maybe because of the adrenaline in the fight?
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I'm just glad your safe" Peter said, but Felicia's worry never left her eyes. She grabbed a hold of his hand and held on firmly as to never let go. Peter did the same, and noticed someone was missing. "Where's your father?"
"I-I don't know… When you left to find him, it all happened so fast… Everything was a blur after that" Felicia confessed her eyes lowering to the ground. She was deathly worried for her father, and Peter could tell.
"You have to be safe to Mr. Hardy" Peter hoped in his head. However, he was pretty sure Mr. Hardy would be able to escape. That man is a lot smarter than he looks to be. He looked over to Felicia and tilted her chin up. "Hey, don't worry. I'm sure he's fine. Let's get you back home first okay?"
"Mhm" Felicia nodded with a weak smile. The two started to walk out of the area, hand in hand, and towards the streets where normal traffic was happening. And by normal, it means Manhattans usual congested traffic, and whether or not the event effected it or not… Because it looked like it would've been this way anyways.
"Peter!" Yelled a familiar voice. Peter and Felicia looked up to see Callum waving over to them along with Ben and May in the car. Callum was now wearing his normal set of clothing… But it looks wet for some reason?
Peter and Felicia quickly walked towards the three and the older Parker brother was greeted with two great big hugs from his mother and father.
"Thank god you are alright! Both of you" May said almost tearing up during her hug with her son. She then noticed her sons' injuries and was ready to pass out. "Oh my god! Petey! Oh…"
"Whoa, whoa!" Callum, Peter, Ben, and Felicia rushed over to the nearly fainting May and help her up.
"I'm alright mom, it's just a couple of scratches" Peter assured by moving his body parts all normally, although it actually did hurt at some points. He just took the pain like a champ.
"Well those are still something to be worried about. Come on, get in we're going home" Ben said, gesturing the group to get in the car.
"You sure you don't want us to drop you off at your house?" Peter asked. The family insisted on dropping her off home but where she lived you can't get in unless you are registered tenant or a registered guest. Her home has some high security and would be a hassle just getting into the driveway.
"It's okay Peter. I'm sure my dad will be more than okay to know that I'm with you and your family. I've texted him, and left a voicemail." Felicia said, planning ahead already.
"Well, our place is nothing much but its home. Plus, you get to see Peter's room" Callum said to the platinum blonde. For some reason her cheeks went lightly red. "I live in the same room, and I'm not leaving it. So, don't get any funny ideas"
Felicia only continued to blush harder. "God… Peter's scent is everywhere… I can't go into his room! I'll go insane!" She continuously kept on fidgeting and it was starting to worry Peter. He looked around to see if anything was bothering her, and did notice that something smelled odd. He smelled a little bit more and it got stronger as he moved towards Callum.
"Eugh! Why do you smell like shit?!" Peter said pinching his nose. "Is this guys smell making you uncomfortable Felicia?! If it is, I'll throw him out of the car!"
"That's uncalled for sir" Callum retorted.
"Our place is not much, but… Make yourself at home" Ben said opening the door for Felicia. She was the first one to walk in, and was taking in the décor. Unlike her place, which was usually nicely decorated with somewhat expensive stuff, the Parkers were more practical. It felt really homey in their house, and it really helped calm her nerves.
"No, it's great." Felicia commented continuing to walk around the room looking at differently little items scattered around the living room.
"Well, why don't you three get cleaned up? I'll make something for you guys to eat afterwards okay?" May suggested, and the three nodded their heads in approval. Felicia walked over to Peter with Callum behind them and walked back up to their rooms.
"Sorry if our room is a mess. We don't usually have guests in here" Peter explained as he opened the door. Upon opening Felicia tried her best to hide her blush, she could smell Peter's strong scent in his room.
"I-It's fine…" Felicia stuttered as she started to fidget with her fingers. Peter and Callum looked at each other with worry, she looked like she was in some discomfort.
"Are you okay Felicia?" Callum asked walking around to her front. He noticed she was blushing heavily and was panting heavily. Sort of similar to when they were at the pizza parlour. "Whoa… Are you sick or something?"
"N-No, I'm fine. I just probably need to take a shower. I'll be fine after that." Felicia wanted to get out of his room as soon as possible. Not because she hated it, in fact she was happy to see Peter's and Callum's room. She could learn a lot more about the two. However, Peter's scent was really getting to her. The sooner she left the room, the better for her and the brothers.
"Uh… Before you go why don't you take…" Peter started.
*BANG*
"Some clothes…" He finished after Felicia left the room, slamming the door shut behind her. Peter looked at his younger brother with a confused look. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh… Shoot… Washroom… Where's their washroom?" Felicia jumped out of the room as she couldn't take the scent anymore. She felt like she was going to go insane. However, she forgot to ask where the bathroom was, and she was not about to go back inside thinking it will be awkward. She went through the rooms until. "Oh! Here. It's pretty nice"
Felicia closed the door, forgetting to lock the door behind her. She started to take her clothing off which was covered in some dirt and dust. She stepped in the shower, slid the door shut and was surprised that the see-through glass changed from clear to frosted. "Oh wow…"
"I don't know…" Callum answered taking off his stained clothes and throwing it to the side. He put on some new clothing, just a simple white t-shirt and some shorts. He fell onto his bed and looked back to his brother who was waiting for an actually answer. "Ugh… Look… She's probably just nervous Pete. You don't generally bring your girlfriend to your parents house after a first date."
Peter sighed thinking his brother maybe right. Although, something did spark in Callum's mind. "Speaking of first dates… What the hell happened to yours?"
Hours Ago
"So, what are you two up to today?" Mr. Hardy asked. They were already on the highway heading downtown. The plan was for Mr. Hardy to drop them off the first location and would come around to pick them up later on.
"Well, I was planning on taking Felicia to watch The Dark Knight Rises" Peter suggested and the two of their eyes flared up in surprise.
"A Batman movie?" Felicia asked.
"Yeah… Oh, do you not like superhero movies?" Peter questioned and started to get nervous. Did he screw up already?
"No! I heard Cat woman is going to be in that movie! My dad and me and huge fans of her comics!" Felicia said, and at that point Peter couldn't think how any better Felicia could get. She's beautiful as hell and she likes comics? Jesus Christ someone pinch him right now.
"A great choice! I was hoping to watch that movie soon." Mr. Hardy confessed, happy at what Peter chose for the movie date. "Where are you two going later?"
"I know this really good Italian place nearby. Me, and my family went there when I was little. I think its got one of those uh… Stars or something?" Peter said, and once again the two eyes flared up.
"A Michelin star?!" Felicia yelled startling the hell out of Peter.
"Y-Yeah! Is something wrong?" Peter asked, confused once more.
"Y-You don't need to spend so much money…" Felicia confessed. She appreciated that Peter was doing his best, but she didn't want him to be spending so much on her.
"No, it's not a lot really. My mom and dad had been friends with the chef there for years. And when I told him I was taking you…" Peter started, Felicia looked at him in the eyes, and he got a little flustered. He looked away and continued, "He was so happy that he uh… Was willing to do it at a discount and special menu"
"Oh… Smooth" Mr. Hardy said quietly.
"You are always full of surprises, aren't you?" Felicia chuckled placing her hand on top of his. The young man felt a jolt of electricity course through his veins. He still gets a little shaky when Felicia touches his hands. He always thinks about how soft and slender it is.
"Yeah? Well trust me. I have a lot more" Peter shot back with a smirk.
"I like men who are mysterious" Felicia said seductively catching Peter off guard, especially with that look in her eyes.
"Erhm… I am still here you know?" Mr. Hardy said clearing his throat, making his presence known to the two. "You cannot do it while I'm here…"
"Oh… Hahaha, sorry dad"
"You can do it ALL you want when you are by yourselves though" Mr. Hardy finished, giving the new couple beet red faces.
"DAD!" Felicia yelled wanting to slap her fathers' arm. Peter sank in his seat trying to cover his face from the embarrassment but felt slightly more used to it then before. "Ugh…"
It took around 10 minutes for the three to get to the theatres. Peter had already booked the tickets ahead of time and got the best seats possible, along with some comfy chairs. The tickets were expensive but that's what you pay when you get extra service.
"Okay, I'll see you two later on okay?" Mr. Hardy said as the two got out of the car.
"Okay dad. I'll see you later"
"Bye Mr. Hardy" Peter and Felicia waved good-bye to the teacher and father. He happily gave a wave to the couple and drove off in the direction of the bank. "Should we get going?" Peter asked, Felicia gave a small smile and nodded, walking alongside him into the theatre.
"Wow, these are really good seats. I'm surprised that you managed to get them" Felicia complimented taking a seat near the middle of the row, and Peter sat right next to her.
"Told you I'm full of surprises" Peter wittingly responded. It got a good giggle out of Felicia and he was glad he did.
"Well, I'm full of surprises as well. I think you'd be impressed" Felicia said, almost as if challenging Peter. The older Parker brother rose his eyebrow in amusement.
"Oh really? Try me" Peter challenged and Felicia merely gave him this weirdly seductive troublemaking smirk, that fit her really well. She raised her right arm and jingled a little watch in her hands. One that looked really similar to the one Peter wore…
"What the?" Peter looked down at his wrist and noticed his watch was gone… It was in Felicia's hand, and he didn't even feel, or notice anything. How the hell did she get past his senses?
"Surprised?" Felicia smirked feeling very confident about herself. Peter nodded his head and smiled back, genuinely impressed by her sleight of hand capabilities.
"Okay, that was pretty good…" Peter admitted as Felicia handed back his watch to him. Behind Felicia, a boy was trying to squeeze on by to his seats. Not noticing a person's foot lazily stretched out, he tripped on it.
"Whoa!" Peter felt a sense of danger as the person behind Felicia fell sideways. With his drink falling right on top of Felicia's head. Peter lunged forward and caught the drink from falling right above her head. "Whew! Are you okay?" Peter asked his body leaning over hers, and his face very close to her own.
"Y-Yeah" Felicia muttered as the memory of him saving her from the glider popped back into her head. Peter handed the drink back to the man who thanked him and apologized. Felicia felt her heart pounding insanely. He also smelled really, really nice to her.
Felicia suddenly felt she was becoming a lot bolder as she felt herself get hotter. She slid her fingers right between Peters and intertwined with them. She even scooted closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Holyyyy shiiit, whats happening?!" Peter felt like the world was spinning around him. He wanted to look at her so badly but he could only imagine the face she was making. He noticed whenever Felicia gets flustered around him, she becomes a lot bolder, and he doesn't know how to react to that.
This lasted pretty long even when the movie started. Although when it came to the action's sequences in the movie, that's when Felicia started to act more normally. She also seemed to hide her fangirling when she saw Cat Woman. She's really loving Anne Hathaway's portrayal of her. Peter was happy he could make Felicia happy and she seemed like she was having fun as well.
XXX
Oh shoot… I need to grab some money from the bank…" Mr. Hardy was on his way to a meeting with some people. He wanted to buy some coffee along the way, but realized he didn't bring any cash with him. He would use a card, if he didn't hate them. He'd rather just pay in cash most of the time. He drove on by the closest bank… The Manhattan Capital Bank.
A few hours later…
"So how did you like the movie?" Peter asked, walking out with a giddy Felicia.
"It was amazing! God, I want to watch it again…" Felicia confessed. When the movie ended, she wouldn't stop talking about Batman and Cat Woman's romance. How the two had different ideals and methods yet still fell in love with each other. It's mysterious and Peter whole-heartedly agrees.
"For sure. Too bad it's the last installment…" Peter complained, even though it was a great conclusion to a trilogy.
"Well, maybe the next DC based movies will be good" Felicia seemed pretty optimistic about it. Peter didn't think Felicia would be such a superhero nerd, but it only added more to her charm for Peter. "So! Were headed to the Italian place next right?"
"Yeah! But I made some time for us to spend together before the dinner… You know… So, we could…" Peter felt a little shy talking about this, but he had to be brave or else his brother would never stop making fun of him. "Get to know each other better"
"Oh? That's… Kind of weird." Felicia admitted and Peter felt a knife go straight through his heart. "But it's also really cute"
Peter's ear started to go red and Felicia couldn't help but giggle at his reaction. "Come on! Let's go" Felicia wrapped her arm around his arm, surprising him, but it was a welcome one. The two walked out of theatre with happy faces and it felt like they were the only two people walking down those streets.
"So? Tell me more about you" Peter said as the two stopped by a crosswalk.
"Hm? What about me?" Felicia asked.
"Well, I don't know… What are you studying right now? What are you're plans after university?" Peter gave out examples and Felicia smiled brightly.
"You know… No one has actually ever asked me before." Felicia said. The crosswalk light turned green and the two started to walk down the block. She looked up to the billboards, seeing multiple faces of beautiful women, actresses, and models alike. "I actually study bio-tech… My dad and mom being science geeks, it uh… Really helped influence me."
"But… Being a girl… It makes it hard for people to accept me. They think that because I'm pretty, I have to be dumb or… I am not smart enough" Felicia started to hold firmly onto Peter's hand. He didn't think she could grip this hard… Especially given how soft her hands are. "So… I usually act not as smart so people would actually talk to me… Even then its always about the same thing… Will you go out with? Want to have a one-night stand or something…"
"Sorry… I um… Completely dragged that question out…" Felicia apologized, and looked down to the ground looking sullen. Peter shook his head lightly and wrapped his arms around the blonde. Her eyes widened in shock but he felt really warm.
"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore" Peter assured. "You can talk to me about everything. Comics, bio-tech… embarrassing moments with our dads" Peter joked, getting a good chuckle out of the both of them. "I'm here for you. Okay?"
Felicia nodded her head with a smile. She slowly closed her eyes and leaned in, placing a small, quick, but lasting kiss on his cheeks. Peter slightly stunned by it could only look away with his eyes.
"Aw… You really are cute" Felicia teased. Peter took one deep breath and exhaled. He turned his head back to Felicia and intensely stared into her eyes. Peter shut his eyes, a little too tightly, and leaned in to kiss Felicia on cheek. "?!" It was Felicia's turn to turned bright red. As soon as Peter pulled back, she covered, essentially her entire face.
"Ahh… Young love…" A grandma commented as she walked by the embarrassed couple.
"Hm?" When Felicia turned to see who was talking, she saw a familiar car parked outside a bank. It was her fathers. "Huh… I thought my dad was supposed to be at a meeting by now."
"You sure that's his car?" Peter asked, even though he only knew one person that actually owned a Lamborghini Urus. However, he wanted to be wrong, for Felicia's sake.
"No, I recognize the license plate. Plus, he banks here from time to time… I hope he's okay" Felicia said. Her eyes worried Peter. She must love her dad a lot, and he couldn't blame her. If Ben or May were missing, he would be acting the same way.
"Why don't we go in and find them then?" Peter asked, but Felicia shook her head.
"People who bank here are exclusively recommended by others. I can't even walk in, and that's with my dad." Felicia explained. The place seemed to be very good on security. Multiple armed guards around the entrances, and when they walked by, there was a underground entrance also guarded by multiple guards.
"Hold on, I'll see if I can talk to them okay?" Peter said. The blonde tried to stop him but he was already committed. "Excuse me?"
"Sorry sir, you need a membership card to enter this bank." The guard said, and he was quite respectful about it.
"I-I know but… My girlfriend's dad has been in the bank for a while now. Were just worried" Peter said.
"Don't worry sir, we're pretty sure he's fine. This bank has the best security in all of Manhattan. He will come out soon" The guard said confidently. But Peter didn't believe him, to him, there was no such thing as the best security. Anything can be breached. "Now sir, please leave the vicinity."
Peter walked back to Felicia whom looked at him expectantly. "How did it go?" The blonde asked.
"They won't let me in… They seem pretty confident that the bank is unbreachable" Peter said.
"Doesn't seem that hard to me" Felicia mumbled.
"Hm…" Peter looked around the bank and scanned around for any sort exploitable vulnerabilities. The Parker brother noticed some vents near by the building… "Hey Felicia… I'll be right back okay?"
"Where are you going?" She asked worriedly.
"Going to find your dad. I'll be quick okay?" Peter assured holding her hands with both of his. He looked at her with the utmost confidence in his eyes, and it made her shoulders loosen up. "Just five minutes okay?" Felicia nodded her head and watched as Peter ran off somewhere.
"Okay Pete… Just going to break into a high security bank… no problem" Peter said trying to calm himself down. He tried to talk himself out of this, but Mr. Hardy was more of a friend than a teacher… A very old friend but a friend nonetheless. He couldn't just stand there and wait to see what happens. He walked over to a stand which were selling some masks. If he were to get caught, he can get away but they'll definitely remember his face. He bought and got one for free as it was a special sale. He walked over to the alley way nearest to the vent and put on his Thor mask.
"Here goes nothing" Peter mumbled, he looked around him to make sure no one was watching him. When he saw everything was clear, he put on the web shooters that were in his pockets. Firing two webs from each hand he zipped right towards the vent and used his powers to stick to the wall. "Whew! That was easier than I thought."
He placed a hand on the vent, pulled and pushed, but it didn't budge. "Urgh… It's locked in tight…" Peter groaned, he made another look around him before jamming his hand into the vent and ripping it off with brute strength. "It's a bank, right? They have the money to fix this"
"Alright were in" The elder Parker brother began crawling through these… Particularly clean air vents. Making his way into the main lobby, it was absolutely huge and luxurious. It looked like more of a hotel lobby than a bank. "Jesus Christ, this bank says rob me all over it" The young man scanned around looking for a white-haired old man, but that was 90% of the people here.
"I'm never going to find him like this…" Peter complained before an idea popped up in his head. He took out his phone and called Felicia.
"Hello? Peter?... Wait, why is it so loud?" Felicia wondered, hearing some loud noises coming from his phone. It was the sound of vents, they were pretty loud but not deafening.
"Don't worry about that, can you give me your dads phone number?" Peter asked.
"Yeah sure"
"Thanks, I'll update you later" Peter said before he hung up. Felicia sent him the number just like she said, and Peter used his phone to call him. "Come on, come on…" The phone was ringing constantly but no one was picking up. He looked down in the lobby, and there were multiple old men on their phones so that didn't help either. However, Peter did have another plan…
"It was ringing… That's good enough for me" Peter said to himself. He opened an app that looked like a normal GPS map application. He input the phone number into the app and traced the call, hopefully finding where Mr. Hardy was. The trace lead into the bank for sure, but… He was on the lower levels? "Bingo! But why is he there? I'm pretty sure that's restricted access… Ugh… That's not important, I need to make sure he's safe."
The vents did lead everywhere in the bank, and Peter used his app to navigate through it. There were so many dead ends! "Who the hell designed this thing?" Despite the dead ends and raging Peter was feeling in his gut, he was getting closer to Mr. Hardy's location.
"Open it old man! I know you can" A voice spoke from underneath Peter. He tried to look for a vent that he could look through, and he did. He saw Mr. Hardy, standing in front of a person wearing armour, along with multiple unconscious bodyguards.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Mr. Hardy answered, he didn't look intimidated at all. "You've got the wrong person"
"I don't think I have Walter Hardy. You honestly think the Police wiped all of your files? I've read all of them" The armoured man said a strange energy pulsating from his arms. "Walter Hardy is your real name but I prefer the name Black Cat… Don't you?"
"Like I said you got the wrong person." Mr. Hardy kept on insisting on it. Peter wanted to do something but this conversation got his mind locked into it.
"Really? Maybe I should pay a visit to your wife, and your beloved daughter, Felicia?" The criminal threatened and shockingly Mr. Hardy turned around in a blind rage and threw a right hook at his face. The punch looked a lot lighter than it did but it sent the armoured man flying five meters.
"Holy shit!" Were the words Peter used in his head. Mr. Hady just freaking knocked that guy five meters! Who would've thought that he would be that strong?
"You dare touch them, and you'll regret it!" Mr. Hardy threatened his eyes flashing yellow for a quick second. Peter noticed that and was more interested than startled. His eyes almost look like that of a cat.
"Mhm… For an old man you have a mean right hook…" The criminal got up on his feet and shook his head as if nothing happened. "Do as I say and I won't touch them. Deal?"
Mr. Hardy clenched his fists not wanting to give in to his orders. But as a father, his need to protect his family was the most important.
"Sorry, bud you ain't doing that. Not Mr. Hardy or Felicia" Peter mumbled, with a swift kick down onto the vent. The two men in the basement looked up to see a random teen wearing a Thor mask. "Hey! Mind if I join in the conversation?!" Peter yelled slinging his webs on the ceiling and swinging at the criminal with a hard kick with both of his feet.
Peter's hit was a lot more powerful than Mr. Hardy's punch as the man was launched right into an armoured truck and dented it heavily, almost halfway. "Wow! Okay, I didn't think I kicked that hard"
"Peter? Is that you?" Mr. Hardy asked and the young student almost tripped over himself.
"Wha? No, no! I'm not Peter. I'm uh… Erhm!" Peter cleared his throat, placed his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest. "I am Thor. Thor… Uh… Uh… Thor!" Peter lowered his voice greatly standing proudly, but only got a skeptical look form Mr. Hardy.
"We have to get out of here Peter okay?" Mr. Hardy said completely ignoring Peter's attempt to hide his identity.
"Who is that guy?" Peter asked, but before Mr. Hardy could answer him, a large shockwave shot towards the two. "Whoa!" Peter yelped as he jumped out of the way along with Mr. Hardy. The shockwave struck the walls behind, additionally with some pillars as well. The damaged caused by the shockwaves caused the ceiling to give in.
"It's going to come crashing down!" Mr. Hardy screamed and fall it did. The ceiling caved in, cutting Peter and Mr. Hardy off with a large cement wall. "Pet—Kid! Hurry up and get outta there!"
"Don't worry about me! Hurry up and get outside to safety! I'll hold him off for now" Peter shot back. The criminal got back up on his feet slamming his two fists together, ready to fight him. Peter shot two webs, attaching onto his feet and pulled him towards himself with all of his strength. "HRAH!"
*BANG*
Peter jumped into the air, spinning around, side kicking the criminal right in the spine, sending him flying back. The criminal landed and scrapped the concrete floor, slamming his fist into the ground in frustration. "What the hell is this shit!?" The criminal said looking at his suit's legs, it was covered in some sort of sticky web substance.
"But!" Mr. Hardy started but was cut off by Peter.
"No! I can handle it. You have to get back to her okay? She'd be heart broken if you were hurt" Peter said, and it hit a chord in his body. However, he couldn't just leave Peter there. What would he do if he got hurt?
"I'll come back with help okay?" Mr. Hardy promised before running away, finding the closest set of stairs to the lobby. While, Peter and the criminal faced off.
"You got balls kid, but you done fucked up" The criminal said raising his arms high into the air, thrusting them forward sending another shockwave, but it was easily avoided by Peter whom simply just jumped and attached himself onto the ceiling. "What the hell are you? Some kind of spider-guy?!"
"Eh… You can just call me Spider-Man, has a better ring to it" Peter joked, only angering the man further.
"I'll squash you like the bug you are!" The criminal thrusted his arms down, propelling himself through the ceiling, through all the floors of the bank before reaching outside. The sounds of concrete breaking, echoed throughout the streets as people outside gasped and screamed.
"Whoa, he can jump pretty high huh?" Peter examined but then he felt something dangerous coming. The criminal started to charge up his gauntlets, and he could feel the gauntlets shaking. He dived right back into the hole he made, ready to pound the ground right as he landed.
"Uh oh…" Was the only two words that came out of his mouth. The criminal landed and pounded the ground, creating a small earthquake within the vicinity of the bank. The floor beneath started to crack and make small fissures, and ceilings completely gave in. "This guy is insane!" Peter yelled web zipping to the ceiling and flipping in an out of the hole.
"Where you goin!?" The armoured man asked, his voice grungy as hell. He jumped up to follow the masked teen, and fired two shots of shockwaves. The young teen sensed the projectile attack, and as soon as he got to the lobby floor web zipped to the nearest pillar and avoided the attack.
"Don't worry buddy, I'll be here for you. I know you 're lonely and all…" Peter quipped as the criminal landed right in front of the hole. He only concentrated on Peter, not caring for anyone else in the bank. He sorts of growled like a dog and swung his arms around, sending waves and waves of his attacks at the teen. "Yikes, hit a soft spot huh?"
"Do you ever shut up!?" The man asked, getting annoyed with his constant little comments.
"I'm just trying to making some…" Peter shot a web around a pillar, swinging around it constantly to create momentum. As he released at the perfect moment, he sent a heavy hitting punch right into his face. "Small talk!"
*CRASH*
The armoured man flew out of the building out a window. He landed back on his feet, holding his face. Peter took the advantage to swing out of the same window and shot two strings at the ground beside the armoured man. Pulling himself towards him for another attack.
"Heh" The criminal chuckled lightly, his gauntlets recharged, making a dramatic swinging motion, he slammed both of his fists on the ground creating a vortex almost.
"What the?!" Peter couldn't react fast enough as he hit the barrier. It felt like his body was being pulled in different directions, before he repelled him backwards with great force, sending his body, crashing into the bank's walls. "Oh… Ok… That hurt…"
"Die!" The armoured man screamed jumping into the air his two fists coming down onto him. The young teen quickly fired a web to his right, zipping his way out of the attack. The slam the criminal made was imbued with his shockwaves… Getting hit by that would be bad. Upon contact the walls around it exploded and he quickly followed up with a projectile attack. "How about this?!"
"Man, you really need to work on your trash talk. It's really basic" Peter commented but the man didn't care. A large shockwave shot out, carrying along with it, debris from the attack prior. It was hard for Peter to evade as all he needed to do was web zip somewhere else, but he noticed the debris was heading towards a mall. "Oh shoot! Wait… Callum!?"
Peter saw from where he was a window where Callum was. He looked kind of funny but he had to head over there. With no thought, He swung over to the mall as fast as he could, but the debris hit smack dab middle of the window. "Dammit! No… He should be fine…"
Peter landed on the broken side of the mall and saw Callum coughing, holding onto a pretty blonde girl. Like he thought he was alright.
"Thor?" Callum asked, but he started to scan his clothing. He looked at Peter in the eyes, "Peter is that you?"
"No. No I am not." He answered monotone way. Giving some head twitches. He didn't want his brother to give away his identity and hoping he would catch on. He didn't… His brother looked at him peculiarly and shook his head.
"Uh… Ok… What are you doing?" He asked, helping the lady up.
"I'll tell you later okay?" Peter said, directing his attention to the girl. Callum glanced over to her, not really understanding the whole situation. But he knew Peter wanted to talk to him alone.
"Hey, Taylor, get out of here okay? I'll be fine. I just need to make sure everyone else is okay" Callum said to the girl, but she looked like she wasn't going to budge.
"What!? I can't just leave you here!" Taylor argued but Callum was having none of it. He held her hand and started to bring her over to where the team was. "No!"
"Please okay? I'll be fine. I promise. I'll see you at the game okay?" Callum asked holding her hand tightly and staring right into her eyes. His eyes showed his confidence and did give some sort of calming aura to her, enough for her teammates to grab her.
"You better keep that promise" She said, frowning, still not wanting to leave him there. The team grabbed her and ran down the stairs. Callum turned back to his brother who tossed him a mask.
"And you know everything else after that" Peter just finished explaining what had happened, and it left Callum with the weirdest look on his face. He looked like he had many questions…
"Wait, wait… Back up… You saw Mr. Hardy?" Callum asked, and Peter nodded his head. "And you told Felicia you haven't seen him."
"Yeah?" Peter looked at his brother oddly.
"Why?" Callum asked, he was edging on fact that Peter didn't tell Felicia some vital information.
"What? Tell her that some guy wearing this super-awesome powered suit was threatening her father who probably has some sort of criminal record on him?" Peter explained, and after hearing it like that, Callum nodded his head lightly.
"Okay… I guess that's fair" Callum conceded but he still felt bad. Especially since Felicia seemed to deathly worried about her father. Then again, who wouldn't? "So… What do we do now?"
"For now? We should just focus on finding Mr. Hardy… who knows where he is?" Peter said, heavily worried about his teachers well being. "Ah shoot…"
"What?"
"There's no spare towels in the bathroom. Oh, and clothes…" Peter hurriedly grabbed a spare towel from his room, and pondered what to do with clothing…
"Just give her yours for now. Unless you want her walking around with only her underwear." Callum said, walking over to his brothers closest tossing him a couple of his t-shirts and plaid button-ups.
"Ugh… I guess…" Peter wavered on this decision, but his brother was right. He gave them a quick smell just in case, and thankfully they smelled nice. "I'll be right back"
"Mhm…" Callum responded.
Peter walked out the hallway and towards the washroom where he could the sound of the shower being used. He knocked on the door a couple times before calling out her name. "Felicia? Felicia you there?"
"Huh?! Y-Yeah!" She responded nervously, covering up her parts even though the two doors were closed.
"There's not any towels so I just wanted to bring some over. Oh, and some extra clothing" Peter explained.
"Oh? Oh okay. Thank you" Felicia said trying to calm herself. "I'll unlock the door for you"
"Hm?" Peter held the door handle and opened it with a click. "It's unlocked?"
"Huh?!" Felicia stepped out and saw Peter's reflection from the mirror. The frost effect disappeared and Felicia's sudden shriek startled the teen whom then pushed the door a little too far… "Oh shit I didn't lock it?!"
The door opened, Peter and Felicia looked right into each others eye. Felicia's body was right in front of him, and he was… stunned… plus her wet hair really got to him. "I'M SORRY" Peter dropped the towel and clothes on the floor as he screamed jetting out of the door and slamming it shut. He leaned his back against the wall, covering his red face.
Felicia on the other hand stepped back into the shower also covering her face. "Oh my god, oh my god… He saw me… He saw me…" Despite the embarrassment, her body felt like it was getting hotter, and not because of the water.
"Uh… You okay there buddy?" Ben came up the stairs to check on what was happening. Peter was seen leaning against the wall with his right arm, and left arm on his hips. It was an odd stance…
"Yeah! Yeah! Everything is… Coolio!" Peter answered.
"Did… Did you just say Coolio?" Ben asked narrowing his eyes at his son.
"Yes" Peter nodded. Ben slowly nodded his head as if not judging him heavily. He walked back down the stairs saying nothing.
Felicia got out of the showers, seemingly to have calmed down from the prior encounter. She dried herself off with the towel Peter provided her with. She picked up the clothes and noticed they were a little to big for her, but she couldn't really complain. "Are these… Peters?" She asked, she put on the t-shirt and got a large whiff of his scent. She felt her body tingling but it wasn't as strong as when she was in the room. She put on the plaid button up as well, but there were no pants. She guessed none of them fit her. But the clothes were big enough to cover at least half of her thighs.
"God… This smells really good…" Felicia couldn't help but keep on sniffing the clothing. Until eventually the scent really started to take over. Her knees began to feel weak and they gave in. She knocked one of the cups over on the counter making a large sound that startled Peter on the other side.
"Felicia? Are you okay?" Peter asked, and the only thing he heard was large sniffing sound. He wasn't sure of what to do. "Can I come in?"
"Mhm…" Felicia answered, although it sounded out of character…
"Okay…" Peter came through the washroom door and found Felicia on her knees sniffing his t-shirt. Her cheeks were red, and was panting heavily. "Felicia? Do you have a fever or anything?"
"No…" Felicia muttered as she looked seductively into Peter's eyes. She stopped sniffing and started crawl like a cat towards Peter. Her eyes flashed yellow similar to Mr. Hardy's at the bank.
"Uhh…." Was the sound he made seeing how his girlfriend was acting very, very strangely. He did think it was sort of hot, but… He was also highly concerned. As he was too concentrated on her demeanour, he didn't notice Felicia grab a hold of his foot and pulled him down. "What the!?" Peter slipped and slammed his butt on the floor as Felicia climbed up on him, his back leaning against the door.
"I can't take it anymore…" Felicia confessed. She looked at him in the eyes, she wanted him badly. Peter couldn't move, he was way too shocked to move. She was also really close. Her slightly wet hair, wearing her clothes, and her eyes, everything was making it very hard for him to move.
"Uh… F-F-Felicia? W-W-What are you doing?" Peter stuttered, but she didn't want to answer. She grabbed a hold of his face, and aggressively pulled him into a sultry kiss. The young teen widened his eyes in shock, but soon closed as it started to feel good for him.
Felicia never released her lips from his unless it was to take a breath. When ever she did, she would go straight back into it. Ever kiss she made, she tried to slowly use her tongue to enter Peter's mouth. The latter could feel it as well. Every kiss she made, edged closer and closer. Peter wrapped his arms around her slender waist as he himself started to go on the offensive.
Felicia opened his eyes in surprise slightly as Peter was the first to use his tongue. She happily welcomed it, pulling him closer, hoping to feel more of him. "Peter…" She moaned as they released for air.
"Whoa… This escalated quickly…" Callum thought who was the other side, listening through the door. He heard Peter screamed prior, and then something drops. He was curious to see what was going on, and left his room as Peter entered the washroom.
"That sly fox…" Was what Callum said before going to the washroom door to listen in on what they were doing. Much to his surprise all he heard was someone dropping to the floor and then just a bunch of smacking sounds. "Oh man… MJ is not going to be happy about this…"
Felicia grabbed Peter's arm and lead it towards her stomach. She slowly brought it down much to the surprise of the young teen. She leaned over to his ear, "I want you… Inside"
As tempting as it was, Peter's mind started to work again. He looked into her eyes, and something told him… This wasn't Felicia, or… It was but something else was taking control. "Wait, wait!" Peter shot his hands back.
"Whats wrong?" Felicia asked sadly. Peter sighed as he got up and also helped the platinum blonde. "Did I something wrong?"
"No… No… But…" Peter started, not knowing what words to use. "I… You… This isn't you is it?"
"Huh?" Felicia tilted her head, but it struck something in her.
"That look in your eyes… That wasn't you. And if it wasn't you… I don't want to take advantage of it" Peter explained. Felicia felt the warm feeling in her body, but it felt different this time. This intimate moment was ruined by…
"FELICIA?!" Mr. Hardy slammed his foot through the door way urgently. Peter and Felicia jumped back in surprise as they didn't expect him to randomly show up in their house. Peter saw Callum equally as shocked, actually he looked more scared.
"Dad? DAD!" Felicia jumped towards her father and gave a nice big hug. Mr. Hardy replied the same, lifting her up into the air for a bit. "I was so worried about you"
"I know, sweetheart… I'm sorry" Mr. Hardy gently lowered her daughter back onto the ground and face Peter. "Thank you, for taking care of her."
"No need to thank me Mr. Hardy. I'm just glad you're okay." Peter replied but the teacher shook his head. He placed his hand on his shoulder. He didn't say anything but smile, and it confused him.
"I knew you were the perfect guy" Mr. Hardy smiled brightly, but Peter didn't know what he meant by that. Regardless the compliment made him feel good about himself.
"What happened dad? I've been worried sick!" Felicia started to pout, and Mr. Hardy reverted back to his usual fun-loving self.
"Haha! Sorry about that. I'll tell you on the way home. How about that?" Mr. Hardy said, but he was interrupted by two individuals who seemed oriented to not letting them leave.
"Oh no you don't. We just prepared some dinner. Why don't you stay?" May asked politely.
"Yeah! The more the merrier right?" Ben said.
"Oh no… I couldn't" Mr. Hardy argued but he was tugged on by his daughter. She didn't seem to mind, if she stayed. He turned to Peter whom nodded with a smile, and then turned to Callum
The younger brother chuckled, "You won't win this argument against them Mr. Hardy. It's better to surrender."
"Well… If that's the case… Sorry for intruding" Mr. Hardy said. The two loving parents walked over to them and guided them down the stairs, all the while telling Peter and Callum to get cleaned up before sitting down. But before that, as Felicia was walking down the stairs, she looked over to Peter and gave him a wink that struck his heart.
"Oh damn… You move fast huh?" Callum commented only to receive a nice elbow from his brother.
"Just get cleaned up…" Peter smiled.
Meanwhile…
"Never gave me my phone back…" The high school student complained. He was one of the kids who were recording the fight from earlier… He smiled however. "Good ol' cloud bank…" He smiled as he accessed the fight through his computer. He went over to Utube and started to upload the video, and thankfully it would only take a few minutes to render it.
"This is going to be awesome! New superheroes" the boy said before he heard someone calling out his name.
"Miles?! Miles! Dinner is ready!" Miles mom called out and just as she did, the video was finished rendering.
"Alright! Be right there mom!" Miles clicked the upload button before heading off to dinner. The video went up, and within a few seconds it went viral… Especially with a headline like New York's New Superheroes?
"What the hell are you doing!? Get out of here, its too dangerous!"
"Hey! What the hell man!?"
"Give that back!"
"I'll give it back when you guys are safely out of here alright?!"
The video was being played on a big screen with ten people in a circle table watching the fight between Shocker, Peter and Callum. Most of them were impressed, as it seemed the two-fighting looked like teens, and they didn't even have a costume.
"What do you think?" A man wearing a blue, red and white costume spoke.
"What do I think? I think that warrior has fine taste in face accessories. Clearly a fan of mine" Another said, this man wearing armour and a red cape, accompanied by a metal hammer and nice facial hair
"Not that thunder-head… The three people" This time a man wearing a normal costume spoke, only having a bow by his side
"Those two don't seem like a threat. But who knows. Good can go bad in a second." A woman spoke, wearing a skin-tight black suit. She had lovely red hair and some killer eyes. "You got any opinions Steve?"
"Hm…Can't say much from this video… What do you think Tony?" Steve asked. A well-dressed man appeared from the dark side of the room. He looked over to the woman on his right.
"Carol. You think you can keep a close eye out for those two?" Tony asked a blonde-haired woman. She wore a similar black suit with a lightning symbol on it, with an eye mask and a red raiment around her waist.
"Sure. Is that all?" The beautiful blonde asked.
"If they become a threat… Terminate them" Tony ordered, getting an odd look from Steve, clearly not liking that order.
"Got it" Carol answered with no hesitation.
Oh my god! I think this is longest chapter I've written and now my body hurts. Luckily thanks to the holidays, I actually had a lot more time than I thought. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! Really spicing it up right now. Have a Happy New Year!
