Chapter 3: 03
David began shopping on the internet, he needed to be able to conceal is identity if he was ever going to go out and fight these animals.
" Alright, spandex, spandex, spandex." David started typing into his computer. He was making purchases. Buying a bunch of old leotards and skintight suits. Some red, some blue, and some darker shades. " And done, I got the order placed. Now, I just need to wait."
....
A few days later.
Though he had seemed to have calmed down since his uncle had passed, Mia could tell that David was still going through a rough time, made more evident by the fact that he sat through science class, of all classes, quiet and with his head down.
When class was over, though she wanted to speak to him, David immediately bolted from the classroom.
" Whoa, did you see Parker?"
" Yeah, guy must be having it rougher than I thought."
Mia listened as two of her classmates spoke about David on their way out. She decided, she would try confronting him, again. Or at least she wanted to. But whenever she tried approaching him, her nerves just got the best of her.
For Mia, being the daughter of one of the richest men in America meant she was used to people avoiding her. That or they tried to gain her favor in hopes of receiving some kind of financial benefit. Needless to say, she always had quite the lonely existence. And what happened at home... Well, that was even worse.
But David somehow felt different.
They had interacted very few times, and it always seemed like David was more interested in her than anything else, even if he did act and speak like a nervous child. But she didn't mind it.
" Hey what's the matter amiga?" Berto, one of David's closest friends and perhaps his only friend, asked as he patted Mia on the shoulder. " You been standing der not moving. You okay?"
" Hey, Roberto, right?"
" Yeah?"
" Have you... Spoken to David recently?"
" Oh?" Berto muttered. " OhhhhhhhH!!! I see." Berto exclaimed. He laughed loudly and grabbed Mia's shoulder.
" Roberto!"
" Right sorry. No, I haven't. The guy's been completely ignoring me for the past week. Not like I don't expect it. I mean, his uncle's raised him ever since he was a kid. I've been seriously worried about him, but I haven't had the chance to see him in days, and he doesn't answer my calls."
" Do you think, I could have his number?"
" Sure, Amiga, here ya go." Roberto took out a sheet of paper and happily wrote down David's number. For him this was an opportunity to finally get David and Mia together. Something he'd been trying to do for quite some time.
Mia took the slip from Roberto's hands and smiled. " Thanks, Berto."
" No problem, amiga. You take care now, Berto gonna be late for class." Roberto told the girl. He then quickly scurried away, with a smile on his face. " Aha!!! Never say I wasn't a bro."
.....
Brrrrrrng!
The sound of the school bell blaring came to life, signifying the end of the school day. David stuffed his books into his locker and ran out of the school. The same thing he did every other day.
David ran up the front porch to his home and opened it up like a mad man.
Hearing the door open and shut so suddenly, Aunt May looked up from the Tv and watched as David ran straight to the Basement." Oh, David!"
" Busy right now!" David yelled back as he prepared to head downstairs.
" No, David, I need you to do me a favor." May told the boy.
" Can it wait, Aunt May?" David asked the woman.
" No, I'm busy right now, and I need you to pick something up from the store for me." May told the boy.
" Oh, man.... Okay, what's up?" David asked the woman.
" I need you to go pick up a carton of eggs and butter. I'm gonna make meatloaf tonight." May told the boy.
" All right. I'll head out in a little while. I still have something I need to take care of." David told the woman. He then started opening the door to the basement.
" What is so important, that you spend every night down there?" May asked.
" I'm working on my sewing again, figured it would help take my mind off things you know." David replied.
" Yeah, I know..." May muttered. " You know, David... If you ever want to talk, I'm here for you."
" I know Aunt may." David said wistfully. " I know." David opened the door up and descended down into the basement, he locked the door, behind him and then turned on the lights.
David was giddy with excitement; he ran straight to the sewing machine and the press machine and lifted the sheets off of both of them and there they sat, his very first suit.
It wasn't perfect. In fact, it was made from old unitards and a blue hoody. A far cry from what he had in mind for when his materials came in through the mail.
" It's done. Let's go!" David exclaimed. He happily picked up the two articles of clothing and shoved them into his bag. It was finally time.
David quickly walked back up the stairs.
" Done already, David?"
" Yeah, I'm heading out, Aunt may."
" Okay, make sure you bring the food back."
" Right Aunt May!" David shouted and like that he was out the door. " Now, let's get to work." David muttered. " But first... Let's get the groceries."
David made a short pit stop to the local grocery market, first. Wanting to go ahead and get the groceries out of the way, so that he wouldn't forget later.
...
The wind was brisk, the sun was setting, and the night stars were beginning to peak over.
David was sitting atop one of the largest buildings in Seattle. Standing there as the breeze blew over him, decked out in his new gear.
It wasn't much of anything impressive at all. But it was a start.
David wore a simple all red spandex suit, with a mask. A red mask with large white eyes, and a simple blue hoodie, with a very large black spider on it.
David pressed his finger to his ear.
" All available units, we have a high pursuit chase going through Alaskan way. The suspect is driving a beige 2005 Honda accord."
David listened to the dispatch through his earpiece and smiled through his mask.
" All right time to go."
This was the moment; this was everything David had prepared for over the last week. David took a deep breath and started running towards the edge and with a breath of faith, David leaped off of the side of the building.
" WooHOO!!!! YEAH!" The rush was exhilarating, the wind hitting his mask, the force of gravity pulling him down to the street. And just before he hit the pavement, David raised his hand and fired a web straight into the air and latched onto a nearby building.
He was immediately pulled by the momentum upwards, flinging him across the city.
" Woohoo!" Each moment David swung felt like a breath of fresh air.
David swung his way across Seattle, the sound of gunshots and the blaring sirens of the police cars, told David exactly where he was needed.
There were two men driving the getaway car. One with shoulder length bright blonde hair. And another man short black hair.
" Oh man. Oh man, King is not gonna be happy about this." The black-haired man stated.
" You need to shut up! We got what the king wanted; we just need to lose the cops you idiot. Drop the hammer." The blondie stated.
" Right." The black-haired man reached into the back seat and grabbed a rocket launcher.
He loaded the rocket propelled weapon, and leaned out the rear passenger window and pointed it at the cops.
" HOLY SHIT HE'S GOT A MISSILE!"
The man fired the rocket right in front of squad of police cars chasing them.
The officers in front swerved their cars, just as the criminal fired his rocket at them, just narrowly avoiding being hit directly by the speeding object. Unfortunately, the turns they had to make to keep from being exploded, and the force of the explosion itself, caused the cars to flip over onto their sides.
The remaining cops, slammed on their breaks, to try and avoid the crashed cars, and the crater in the road.
" All units, Suspects are fleeing onto forty-second street. Be aware they have an RPG!" The cops on scene radioed to other cops, hoping to warn them ahead of time of the danger.
The criminals looked back at the smoke and cop cars and laughed.
" Did it work?"
" Yeah! I think that worked."
" Hey boys! Fine night for crime?" David appeared on the drive side window and was just hanging on the side door.
" What the? Who the hell are you?" The blonde asked. He and his boy looked at David wide eyed, trying to figure out it was that he was just hanging there.
" Well, in your case, I'm the guy about to kick your butt." David told the man.
" You police?!"
" Right, because a police is gonna be dressed in red and blue and hanging onto the side of your car. Right, that's totally what I am." David said sarcastically.
" Eat lead dick!" The blonde haired driver, pulled his pistol up and fired it out of the window, shattering it and blowing Glass in his face. " AHHHHH!"
David avoided the gun shot and jumped to the roof of the car. " AYYYY! IS THAT HOW YOU GREET SOMEBODY?!" David shouted.
The driver raised his gun and started firing it up at the roof.
David doged the bullets, easily.
" Whoa! Hey! Whoa!" David shouted. He jumped forward and landed on the front windshield. " Hello!"
" Shoot him!"
The driver yelled to the other man in the car.
The man raised his shotgun and fired it right at the windshield like an idiot.
David once again dodged the bullet, by jumping off of the car, before the man pulled the trigger. Unfortunately for the two men, the shotgun blast threw shards of glass into their face.
The driver ended up turning the wheel aggressively, causing the car to start spinning out of control.
" Uh-oh." David muttered. He watched as the car started spinning out of control.
David jumped into the air and started shooting multiple webs at the car's tires, hoping the strong iron like fluid would help stop the rotation of the car and bring it to a stop before it ended up crashing into something.
The car started slowing down as the webbing started to get tangled up in the wheels, but it was still going too fast.
" Not gonna work." David watched as the car continued forwards, and thinking he needed to stop it fast, he decided the best way would be to force it to a halt.
David flung himself onto the roof of the car and started firing webs, as many as he could, from his hands to nearby buildings and placed them on the car, then he fired more and more and more and more, and then he started pulling on the wires, while pressing down on the car with his feet planted.
" Grghhhhh! GAAAAAAAAAH!" David strained, trying as hard as he could to stop the car. And he would have thought he was falling, if he hadn't been able to hear the sound of the cars tires screeching, until eventually they came to an abrupt halt, with the two men in the car soaring out of it. " Whew! I think I earned a cookie for that." David muttered. He then looked down at the two men fidgeting around on the ground. " Hey, boys! Don't you know better than to shoot and drive?"
" Who are you?" The blonde man groaned.
David flicked his hand and shot webbing all over the both of them, keeping them, both firmly planted on the ground.
" Well, let's see. There's two answers to that question. Answer one, and then answer two." David joked. " For your sake, you better pray it's not answer two." David's tone changed completely, where before he was making jokes and being comical, as of now, he had a completely dark tone.
He walked up to the blond man on the ground and grabbed Both of his arms and pulled their sleeves back.
" No, star? You got lucky pal. Option one it is. Do yourself a favor and be a good convict okay." David told the man.
" Who.... Who are you?"
" I'm your friendly Neighborhood Spider-man. Oh, and that's Spider hyphen Man. Spider-Man, not Spiderman. You get it!" David explained.
Weewoo Weewoo Weewoo!
The sound of the cop sirens drawing near told David that backup was here.
" Alright, the boys in blue!" David shouted.
" You there! Freeze!" An officer on a bike pulled up beside David and pulled his gun out.
" Don't worry, Officer. I got them both tied up and ready for jail."
" You in the spandex, who are you?!" The officer yelled.
" Do you not get the point of the mask?"
" Don't move!" The officer shouted for David to hold still, but when David stepped forward, the officer started firing at him.
At point blank range, David dodged each and every bullet the officer fired, before leaping over him and snatching his gun. " Really? I do eighty percent of your job and you repay me by shooting at me?" David asked the man. " Come on!" David tossed the gun in frustration, just as more police officers started showing up.
" Uh-oh!" David exclaimed. He started running away from the direction the police were coming. He jumped into the air and started swing to get away from the cops as they pursued him. " Seattle's finest am I right?!"
The police quickly found it impossible to keep up with David as he swung through the air, fortunately they still at least could say they caught their suspects.
So, it was win for their pride.
But still news of a new suit got around the streets of Seattle pretty fast.
Who was this Spiderman?
