"And what do you want us to do kid? We're stretched thin as it is! Latveria just made a move, I'm doing everything I can to make sure we don't end up in a war!"
I paused, "Doom's moving?"
"He's setting up missiles at the border of his country. People are afraid. And add on to that the fact that the nation is being threatened by a terrorist, I have my plate full here kid, I'm sorry."
I grinned, "it's fine," I opened my closet and saw my old leather jacket costume there, it was almost smirking at me. It knew I was going to come back to it. It was only a matter of time, "I'll handle it."
"Wait, what?!" I hanged up, dropped the phone on my bed before changing into the costume while I thought of just who I was facing.
I don't know how Otto gathered them, the man didn't care about Spider-man, no, he cared about getting revenge on Norman Osborn. And the others? Otto wouldn't gain their allegiance if he didn't' give them something too.
Vulture hated me, but he also had beef with Norman. The Rhino...if he found out who hired im he might be angry with Norman too. Marko, the Sandman, I didn't think he was even alive. Damn Wyndham.
Then there's Shocker...why that guy? Honestly it's kind of stupid. He's useless, surely Otto knows this? Maybe...doesn't matter. And I know for a fact Electro hates my guts, so he's probably just along for the ride.
So they are all coming here, to the heart of the city, where people could get hurt….and it's all because they are after Norman Osborn.
I zipped up my jacket and put my helmet on, "Sexy, call Harry Osborn."
"Calling," she replied. I snuck out of the window and jumped into a tree before leaping into the air and landing before my car. I got in and drove out.
Harry picked up after a few rings, "hello? Parker?"
"I just saw the NEWS, is your dad safe?"
"What?"
I sighed, "Harry, the NEWS. Six super powered freaks are coming after him. Is he safe?"
"He's fine, I think," Harry paused, "we're at our penthouse in the city. My dad's got the best guards in place, he even hired some big shot security guy, we'll be fine."
"I hope so," I told him hanging up. What am I saying, of course he's not going to be fine. And neither will I if I go into this half cocked.
I needed a costume, a proper one. I barely beat Electro last time, and Marko isn't a joke either. I needed a suit. I don't know when they are going to strike again, but I can't afford to wait.
So I went to the one place I could think off for equipment. Avenger's tower. I drove a reasonable distance away from sight before I activated my car's flight function and flew into the city, landing on the helipad on the roof of the tower.
However, the moment I walked out of my car the door to the roof exploded as people came pouring out. They quickly surround me, pointing their large scary guns, "put your hands in there air!"
I raised an eyebrow and did I was told, "ah, okay? Can I help you guys?"
"We have suspect in custody, bringing him in for questioning," the man leading this little squad spoke into a radio. He turned to me, "turn around and put your hands on your head. You're under arrest for trespassing."
"What?! But I'm a friend! Spider-man! Hello!" I cried out.
The guards looked at each other on confusion. The leader scoffed, "kid I've seen Spider Man, you ain't no Spider-man."
I blinked, "you really are a special brand of idiot aren't you?"
"Stand down, all you of you," Bruce came running in, "I'm sorry Spider, I didn't realise they would do something so stupid."
"It's fine," I shrugged.
"Sir! This is an intruder!" the head guy told Bruce.
Bruce looked at him and raised a single eyebrow, "are you telling me I don't know when I'm looking at my own teammate Mr..."
"Brandon sir and no-no sir, it's just," he gulped as Bruce said nothing. The man nodded, "right, everyone stand down, now!"
Slowly everyone dropped their guns and I put my hands down. I scoffed as I walked up to Bruce, "what's with the suits and guns?"
"Security," Bruce explained as we inside, "you did just gain entry into one of the most famous building in the world you know. People were bond to get jumpy."
I chuckled, "yeah, didn't realise that." We walked down two flights of stairs before ending up in the main lab area of the building. Bruce motioned me over to his lab where we could talk privately.
"So why are you here Spider?" Bruce asked closing his lab door behind him.
I sighed, "I need your help, well more like I need to use your stuff."
"What for?"
"Did you see the NEWS? Those people who escaped out of jail?"
Bruce nodded, "yes, six criminals am I correct? If I understand it correctly you put away nearly all of them."
I nodded, "yeah, and they were dangerous, each and everyone of them. One alone can kill dozens of people...well maybe not Shocker, that guy's a moron."
"And you're here because..."
"The Baxter building, as advanced as it is, doesn't specialise in weapons. I need my suit back if I'm supposed to stop these guys. It would take a week for me to build it at the Baxter building, I was hoping Tony left behind some of his tools here so I could make myself some protection before these made men come in and destroy this place apart."
