//------------------------------// // Day in the life of Spiderman // Story: Spiderman Equestria's Hero: Rise of the Insidious Six. // by Adamverse //------------------------------// Spiderman swung home after the 'Rich takedown; he swung through the buildings and land on the side of his apartment. Adam crawled up the wall and in through his window, where he found Fluttershy sitting on a the couch, watching the news. Spidey approached and took off his mask, "Good morning, my love." Adam greets since he didn't say it to her this morning. She turned to him and smiled, "Adam, you know you don't have to lie to me about where you go. I've known about your 'day job' for two years." she explained. Adam found her amazing, one of the things that was so great about her, she was so understanding. The boy picked her up I his arms; bridal style, and start on the couch with her in his arms. She giggled and stroked the back of his head, then pressed her lips against his. Adam truly felt like the luckiest guy in the multiverse. However, the joy ended when Adam's phone vibrated; the boy took out his phone and looked at the screen, "They need me at the police station. Captain Shining Armour wants to talk to me." he explained. "Oh, okay." Fluttershy said in disappointment. Adam tried to make her fell better, "Hey, come on. You know I have a responsibility." The boy said as he wrapped his hands around her from behind, he kissed the side of her head. "It just bugs me that I have to share you with the city; yes this world needs you, but I need you." She turned to face him while still in his arms. "One day you'll have to let some one else take over. I don't want to see you get hurt, more than you already do; or even killed." Adam heard this before, it was when Venom attacked the city; he had sworn not to hang up the mask yet. But it was as she said, Spiderman could not last forever. "I will think about our future, my love. When the time is right, I will never put the mask on again. You'll just have to wait." Adam explains. "But for how long?" Fluttershy asks, with tears forming in her eyes. Adam suddenly kissed her on the mouth, Fluttershy closed her eyes a kissed him back. When Adam pulled away, he muttered, "We'll get through this, together." The couple hugged & kissed one last time before Spidey reapplied his mask and leaped out the window. He swung towards the police station, leaving Fluttershy worried for his safety, again. ================================================== Adam landed on the police station's roof, Captain Shining walked onto the to meet with the wall-crawler. Adam started the conversation, "Since the force doesn't know you're working with me, what to tell people when you come up here?" he said with a joke in his tone. "That I need a break from the rubbish excuses." the captain replied. Spidey then remembered something he wanted to ask, "How's your wife, Cadence; I hear you two are expecting?" "Yeah, me and Cadence didn't plan it, but were glad that this little one is coming along." Adam shook Shining Armour's with congratulations, then asked. "So what's the latest in crime, no that Filthy Rich is behind bars?" "These." Shining Armour pointed towards an software tower. "These things were put in by Rich Industries, they were supposed to help us detect crime around the area; we had one put on ever tall building in the city. We think Filthy Rich put a bug in them, so they wouldn't detect his crimes. But after Rich Industries was stormed, the towers shut down." Spiderman leaped on top of the tower, "The must shut down if their controller can't use them from the inside of a prison cell." "I was wondering if you could try and get them back online, this time to detect all crime." the captain explained. Spiderman nodded his head, Shining Armour left him to it. Adam used his phone to hack into the network, he unscrambled the signal; the tower started to shift and re-activate. As soon as the tower came back online, Spidey detected a crime happening not far away; a break in. Spiderman put his phone away and swung to the scene of the crime. ================================================ As Spiderman landed on top of a lamp post at the scene of the crime, he noticed what the criminals were wearing; similar outfits the were worn by the men who worked for Bulls Eye and.... Taskmaster. "Careful, the boss wants these loaded onto the back of the truck, not a t single scratch." the leading thug stated. Adam watched what they were doing, a heist; robbing a warehouse of it's supplies. Once Spidey had gotten all the info he needed, he leaped down to put a stop to this crime. One thug noticed the hero land behind them, "It's him, it's Spiderman." "Time for you guys to learn some manners." Spidey stated before leaping at the criminal that called him out, he pounced on the thug and punched him out cold. The rest of the gang surrounded him; there were six guys, two of them had base ball bats, one hand a machine gun. Adam started by shooting a web-line at the one with the gun, he pulled the gun out of his hand, then swung it around. It hit one of the unarmed men, right in the face, knocking him out. Spiderman then ran up to one with a bat, dodged a swing from him and punched him up into the air; Spidey then used his webs to pull the guy back down and he landed on top of two other men. The last guy with a bat, swung his weapon at Adam; but his spider-sense warned him, and moved out of the way just in time. Then swung his leg around and kicked the thug in the stomach. However, the criminal that had the gun was running away; but Adam just shot at him with a web-grenade. It detonated and stuck him to the wall. When Adam's work was done, he got ready to split; until his phone rang. "Nice to see you again, Spider." "How long's it been? A whole year, since I last heard from you?" Adam replied. "I just called to tell you, thanks. For the info I got from that fight. And to warn you that something is coming, something you're not ready for." Spidey smirked and explained, "You claim to be a great enemy to me, but you haven't shown your face yet. If you were really as menacing as you sound, you'd come out and face me yourself." "You'll get that experience in time, for now, good luck." the caller then hanged up, Adam just put his phone away and shook his head. "That's why my mum taught me never to answer unknown callers." Adam stated before swinging away. =================================================== As Spiderman landed on a roof top, he got a call from Captain Shining Armour. "Go ahead, Cap." he answered. "Spiderman, the rogue cops who were working for Filthy Rich, we just learned that one of them was never captured." "Which one?" Adam asked. "They might have something planned. Maybe to spring 'Rich." "His name's Winter Breeze; he was the team leader. None of the other men know where he went, they say he just vanished as they we being taken to Rykers." Shining Armour explained. Spiderman thought for a minute, then said, "Don't worry Cap, I'll find him." With that, the two of them closed the line. Adam was about to put his phone away, when he picked up a crime alert; down town, some one attempted a break-in. Spidey swung to the point of the beacon's origin, he landed on the roof of the apartment building, all he found there was police cars outside the building. Adam thought the cops could handle this, until he noticed something on the other roof top. Adam swung over to investigate, he found an old camera on a tri-pod; next to the camera was a soda can, take-out boxes & an audio recorder. Someone had been having a little stake out, so Spiderman played the recording, hoping to get a clue to who was behind this. The audio played, Adam recognised the voice, "Hey there, Spider. Miss me? It's you old pay buddy, the Talon." "Octavia? What is she doing?" Spidey learned who the Talon was after he found out the Filthy Rich was the one who hired her to steal for him. The recording continued, "You're probably wondering what I'm doing. Well, this family had a beautiful jewelled flower, I wanted it. So I took it." "She's stealing again. I let her go last time, because she was being forced into this by 'Rich. Maybe that was a mistake." Adam mumbled to himself. "The scanner claimed it was an attempted break in, so nothing was stolen. But I should keep a look out for Octavia." Spiderman was done here, and night was falling over the city; so he decided to swing home. ================================================= Just as Adam landed on the roof of his apartment, he heard something behind him. When Spidey turned to the direction of the noise, it was an explosion; and it was coming from.... "Rykers." A police helicopter flew over Adam's head and was on a direct path to the prison. Spiderman shot a web-line onto the chopper and pulled himself to the side of it. Shining Armour was flying it, he noticed Spiderman crawling on the side. "You've seen it too, huh?" the captain asked as he rolled down the window. "I thought you said Rykers was secure?" Spidey asked. "It was." Spiderman held onto the side of the helicopter as it flew towards the prison, was this what Taskmaster talking about?
