ตอน 98: Chapter 97: Subject - D

"And here I thought we wouldn't be seeing each other again," I chuckled weakly, that gas was coming back, I think... I might faint this time.

"Well, I didn't expect this now did I?" he asked, "32 children kidnapped and experimented on, and we had no idea."

"31," I told him.

"What?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"31," I moved the kid off my back and called an agent over, putting him into her waiting arms, "he's had a rough home life, so when you return him, make sure you rough up his dad for me, okay?"

The agent looked skeptical, she turned to Fury who just sighed and nodded. The woman then left with the kid in hand and I turned my attention to Fury.

"Are you here to fire me?" I asked.

He raised an eyebrow, "why would I?"

"Because I didn't wait for backup," I sighed leaning against a phone pole, yeah, the gas was affecting me. Please don't tell me this is how I fucking die!

"You did what you were told," Fury sighed rubbing his one eye, "I suppose it's not your fault the intelligence was so wrong..."

I sighed, "so I'm not fired, yay!"

"No, you aren't, in fact I'm here to congratulate you on your first mission," Fury nodded, "and to clean up this mess."

I smiled, "talk to Betty Cooper, blonde, and no, I'm not making this up. She has all the files you'll need regarding the experiments they were doing. It should be a good place to start."

Fury nodded, "I bet it is," I felt my eyes grow heavy, he nocited me leaning on the pole, "are you okay? You look exhausted."

"I am," I told him, "I was exposed to some kind of gas in there. It was what they used to experiment on the kids. I don't think I'll die or something, my blood's...it's special. But, I do feel exhausted, maybe...maybe just a nap."

Fury looked worried, "what you need is a doctor."

"So you can experiment on me while I'm sleeping? No thanks," I chuckled.

"This isn't a joke Spider," he growled.

"Fine," I sighed, "call Susan Storm, she knows a lot more about my blood work than anyone else on the planet. If anyone can help me, she can. Call her, now."

Fury nodded, "fine. Anything else you need?"

I chuckled, "oh I don't know, since you're asking, could I maybe have another one of these combat suits you guy have? And make it a woman's size," Fury raised an eyebrow, "please don't ask me why."

"I have a feeling I'm going to regret this," he sighed.

I chuckled, "y-yeah, you just-" and suddenly my legs gave out and I fell to the side. My head hit the pavement but I felt nothing. I heard Fury's muffled yells through my helmet but I didn't care to listen. I just needed some sleep...yeah, that's what I need.

Chapter 97: Subject - D

I woke up feeling comfortable. I looked around, I know this place, it was the first room I ever saw in the Baxter building, the med bay. Damn it, I must have gotten knocked out.

I was still wearing my Spiderman costume, my helmet was removed and placed on the side table along with my web gauntlets. I got off the bed and my feet wobbled slightly, they felt heavy, like really heavy.

I put on my gauntlets and helmet and walked out of the room, I needed to find Sue, she would have some idea what was going on.

I walked down the corridor and came upon her lab, I opened the door and stepped in, "Sue, we need to talk."

"Peter?! Oh my God you're awake!" Sue cried out as she ran up to me and hugged me, "we were all so worried! When Fury brought you in we thought you were going to die! Johnny looked like he was going to go super nova! When they told you what you did though-"

"-Sue, breath," I chuckled.

Sue took a deep breath and let it out. She hugged me once again, "I'm glad you're alive."

I hugged her, "so am I Sue."

"And don't you ever do something like that again?!" she yelled out hitting me in the shoulder as hard as she could, "we all thought you were dead! What were you thinking?!"

"Ah, in my defence there was a child's life on the line," I sighed as I removed my helmet showing off my real face.

"And sometimes you forget that you're also a child," Sue shoot back.

I grinned, "that didn't seem to stop you from checking out my ass whenever I'm in costume."

"I-I do not!" she blushed.

"It's fine Sue, I do the same when I see you in costume," I winked.

She sighed rubbing her temples, "you're impossible."

"Indeed," I smiled.

Sue sighed and pointed at a chair, "sit, and take off your costume, I need a blood sample from you and I couldn't figure out how to remove it."

"Johnny didn't tell you?" I asked as I expanded my costume and shimmed out of it sitting on the stool in nothing but my briefs.

"No, Johnny, Reid and Ben all left with Fury," Sue explained with her back towards me, she was preparing a few needles to extract my blood, "Johnny wanted to help get those guys in jail and Ben was willing to lend a hand. Reed is in Finland though, he was called to consult in some kind of secret project last week. I don't know when exactly he'll be back, but-"

She stopped mid sentence as she turned to me. I blinked, "Sue? You okay?"

She looked down at my body, her eyes lingering on my abdomen before slowly going lower. I was about to tease her again when I felt something in the air. I could almost smell it, like a different kind of scent I never smelt before. I smelt it and blinked as I realised it was coming from Sue herself, and it smelt amazing, like warm maple syrup.

"Sue?" I asked again.

She snapped out of her daze, "w-what? Oh, yeah, I'm fine," she blushed and quickly met my eyes, "h-here, shouldn't need too much of your blood," she said as she carefully pressed the needle into my arm practicing a syringe full of my blood.

Why she did that I was focused on that smell, it was stronger now, it was coming from here. But I never smelt it before in my life, at least nothing like this. So how? Or rather, what is it? Did it have something to do with the gas I was exposed to? Did it change me? Mutate my powers?

Sue coughed, "so ah Peter, tell me what happened."

I sighed, "well where to begin," I quickly told her about the mission and what had happened. The gas and why I think it might had gotten to me.

"Well we'll just see about that," Sue said as she took my blood to her work station, she looked over her shoulder, her eyes going down my body again and I immediately smelt that warm husky maple syrup scent, "you ah, you can put your clothes back on Peter."

I nodded, usually I would I just teased about perving on my body, but now? Now things are too weird, I need be serious, this was an unknown factor, I needed to deal with it properly.
