The Iron Spider

Issue 2

~Manhattan, NY~

"Man! I've been to Manhattan before, but never got a view like this!" I said excitedly, "You're going to have to get used to it Kev, we can't be swinging around blind! One thing Dad did, was know the streets off by heart. Every corner, every turn." Eric told me, "Yeah, If I can learn the streets of Queens, I can learn this!" I told him. But, as we're swinging around, that pain in my head comes back. Because of it, I let go of my web and start falling to my death. I start flailing my arms around until I touch the side of a building. I open my eyes, and see that I'm sticking to the side to the building! "Sick!" I exclaimed, "The suit can stick to any surface, just like your father. I see you didn't know that." Tony said through my suits comm's. Eric swings down, and see's if he can stick to the wall also, and he can. "This is actually pretty nauseating." Eric said sickly, "You'll get used to it." Toni jumped in. Our conversation was cut short to an explosion in the distance, followed by screaming and more explosions. "That sounds pretty important." I pointed out, "Yeah, it does." Eric says as we swing to the explosion.

We swing to the scene, and we can already see that the police have arrived and have already starting a shootout with who ever's in the building. We land inside through one of the many broken down windows. We start checking around, check every room, every stair case to see if any thing is in there, shooting back at the police. But nothing. Maybe it's in another room, well, yeah it's obviously in another room. But again, I get that pain in my head, and that's when a some blast comes from behind. I ducked for cover, but Eric didn't seem to notice it like I did. He got hit in the back, and got launched through a wall. A voice said: "I don't know who you guys are, but you'll regret trying to stop Shocker!"

"Oh man..." I thought. I've heard about Shocker before. He's a man who wears a yellow and brown full body suit and mask, and wears Vibro-Shock gauntlets. "Oh, I've heard of you, you were on TV promoting tires once! Or was it mattresses..." I told him jokingly. "You're almost as annoying as your daddy!" He yelled, "Like father like son, I guess!" I said as I dodged one of his attacks. I swung a web at both hands, so he couldn't use his gauntlets. It won't keep him down long, but it should hold him down long enough for me to get Eric. "Ugh... What happened?" He asked, "Bad guy right over there." I answered, "Ooh, I get it." He said as he was getting up. We both webbed him some more, and ran up to him and knocked him out. We waited for the police to arrive, so we could explain what happened to Shocker. But when they arrived, they said: "Freeze! Put your hands behind your head!" The thing was, they weren't talking to him, they were talking to us!

"We said put your hands behind your head!" One of the police men yelled, "You don't understand, we helped you out! We took down Shocker!" I tried to explain, "Yeah, I'm Iron Arachnid, and he's Iron Spider, we're the good guys!" Eric added on.  Another officer chimed in."We don't know that, there has been plenty of times villains pretended to be heroes. So stand down!" Eric and I looked at each other and nodded. We both jumped out the window and swung away toward Stark Tower. They went in as there secret identities, and soon talked to Tony and Toni about our meet up with Shocker, and I mentioned, that I've been having a pain in my head whenever I was in danger. I said it happened back with A.I.M. , before the explosion earlier, and when Shocker shot at us. "It's probably his 'Spider-Sense' " Tony said, "Spider-Sense?" Eric and I asked, "It's something that your father had. It warned him when danger was near." He explained, "Why don't I have it?" Eric asked, "You probably didn't gain that ability. I can implement something similar to a Spider-Sense to your suit if you like." Toni said, "Heck yeah!" Eric said. Eric and Toni walked off, and I told Eric I would meet him at home.

I'm heading up to my front door, until I notice something odd. A note was stuck to my front door. I went up to see what it read. All it read was "Congratulations." I don't know who it's could be, but whoever it is, it can't be good.
