Bab 3: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Stark Expo
An exposition located in Queens, that bring minds from around the world and combine them to create and develop new inventions to improve quality of life for mankind and the world.
Or at least that's what I thought it was. However, what I am seeing now makes me question why the hell did we put so much effort in our project.
Flash has created a volcano, a freaking volcano. Like seriously, did he search science projects on google and made the first thing he saw on it. On second thought, I think that's exactly what he did.
Most of the other projects also looked like they were created by 10 year old who had way too many skittles. I mean, someone had created a freaking dildo of all things!
The only projects worth mentioning were the Flexible Display Technology by Gwen, Gravitational Disruptors, Hyperconducting Magnet, and the Plasma Blades.
"Be prepared losers, I am the who will win this expo with my magestic volcano." Said Flash smugly like he really was the one who will win this expo.
"You really belive that, don't you?" I said while shaking my head."That was a dumb question. Of course you belive that, why wouldn't you belive that."
"Huh, you got anything to say Osborn!?" Said flash furiously with his nostrils flaring as he slammed his fist down on the desk.
"Yeah, just that -" Just as I was in the process of pissing Flash off, a loud explosion interrupted my comments.
Time seemed to slow down, I felt a weird sense of deja vu as my head started ringing and my body started to move on instinct just in time to dodge Iron man who came crashing through the expo, destroying many projects before finally coming to a stop by crashing to a wall near me.
"Oh hey kids, listen you should really- " He was cutted of by another figure which emereged from the hole Iron man come crashing through.
"You will die today, Stark." Said a person in a crimson metalloid suit similar to Iron man's with a thick Russian accent.
"Sorry Crimsy, I have a date today so you're gonna have to postpone my death." Replied Iron man as he fired his repulsers away at Crimsy or whatever the hell his name is.
Chaos emereged in the expo as students ran to get out of the expo tackling each other to get out of harm's way.
I too ran with the other students to get out of here. Iron man and Crimsy charged at each other. Every punch, every kick sounded like a thunder clap.
However, just as I was about to get of here I stopped when I saw Felicia who had her leg stuck in the fallen debris.
My heart beat like a smith's hammer, my blood boiled in my veins and my hand trembled at my sides. I was scared, all I really wanted to do right now was to get the hell out of here and not try to be some kind of hero.
It was now I remembered a quote Uncle Ben always used to tell me and Peter. 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.'
With that thought in mind, I ran toward Felicia and grabbed the debris. " Hey Felicia, I will pull the debris up, can you crawl out?"
"Mike?" Felicia asked in surprise as she saw me saving her when everyone was running away.
She nodded at me. I pulled the debris up which was relatively easy to do for some reason. She then crawled out of the debris and I dropped the debris down.
"Thank you." Felicia gasped trying hard not to think about the pain which was present in her legs.
I looked up, Iron man and Crimsy were fighting each other. Iron man was at a disadvantage as he couldn't fight at full strenth as it would hurt the people around him. I then saw mine and Peter's electromagnetic reactor and an idea came to my mind.
"You should get out of here." I called out to Felicia.
"What abou you, Mike?"
"I have a plan, I can help Iron Man."
"What?!, Mike are you crazy?!" Felicia cried out. She was right in saying this because right now, getting out of here was the most logical choice.
"Felicia, I promise I'll be fine. Like I said I have a plan, I can help."
Felicia was hesitating She was afraid, rightfully so. "Look Felicia, I know that this is reckless and idiotic but trust me I know what I am doing."
After that last confirmation, She finally ran to get out of here, albeit unwillingly. But not before getting a final good look at me.
After making sure she was safe, I spotted our reactor and ran toward it. If I could overlap the live wire with the neutral wire and cause short circuit, it would lead to a small scale explosion.
Not big enough to destroy the entire venue but big enough to destory the guy in a crimson suit. However, as I was running to reactor, a repulsion beam from Iron man accidentally came toward me.
That weird sense of deja vu and ringing in my head came again but before I could do anything, a webline attached itself to me and pushed me out of the repulser beam's way.
"Greetings, web- spinners, here's your ol' friendly neighborhood spider-man." Came the voice of spider-man besides me which was oddly familiar...Peter?!
"So, mind telling me what you're doing here instead of running away like any sane guy."
Spider-man was hanging upside down crossing his arms and now I was sure that it was the voice of Peter. I want to divulge on this topic but now's really not the best time to do that.
"I have a plan, I can help." I said resolutely. If Peter can fight these guys on a daily basis then the least I could do is help.
"I know that look. I had it a lot... there's no stopping you. I want you to run but you won't... 'cause you're a hero."
"Can you distract him for... let's say 2 minutes?"
"Very well but be careful." Spider-man... no Peter said as he went to help Iron man fight Crimson Dynamo.
With no time to waste I quickly lunged forward to reach the reactor and started messing it up to cause a short circuit.
"Crotch!" Screamed Peter as he swinged to Crimsy and flipped him off.
"Long time no see, kid." Ironman said to Peter while firing his unibeam at the fallen Crimson Dynamo.
"I am totally digging the new Iron man armour."
"That is because you are one nerdy kid."
"And that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all week."
"What's the other kid still doing here?"
"He has a plan, he can help."
"And you trust him?"
"Ye-" Their conversation was cut off by a bunch of small rockets thrown at them by Crimson Dynamo. Iron man shot some of them down while Spider-man dodged the others.
"Do you really think a bug can save you from you imminent death, Stark?" Came the thick voice of Crimson Dynamo who had his repulsors ready to be fired away.
"Hey! Spiders are arachnid not bug. And here I thought you were supposed to be some kind of genius."
"RUN!!!" I screamed as I threw the reactor at Crimson Dynamo. Time seemed to have slowed down as the reactor slowly floated toward Crimsy before finally coming to a stop near his feets.
"Fuc-" His comments were cutted off by the reactor who had now exploded near his due to short circuit rendering his armour immobile.
He was alive but his armour was messed up to say the least. The sound of blood pounding in my head was muting every other sound at the moment. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I watched the defeated man in his ruined crimson armour.
"Not bad kid, was that an arc reactor?" The impressed sound of Iron man awoke me from my stupor.
"A water down version of it yes."
"Still, being able to create something like that at your age is impressive nonetheless."
"I had a friend who helped me create it."
"Intresting, do you and your friend want to work at Stark Interprises."
"I am good thank you though I will ask my friend if he wants to work at Stark Interprises or not."
"Give me a call if he decides to join SI." Iron man said as he picked Crimson Dynamo up and flew away with him on his shoulder.
Spider-man and I watched Iron man fly away.
"Seriously Peter, out of all the geniuses in the world, you decided to make him your idol?"
"What? He is cool- uh what do you mean, who is peter?" He said in a unusually thick voice after getting started by me casually mentioning his name.
I regarded him for a moment, deadpan.
"Do you honestly belive that changing your voice is helping you in any way whatsoever?
"Uh..."
I sighed "Nevermind, you secret's safe with me but we do need to talk about.... all this."
"Tonight at Aunt May's?" He replied after thinking for a minute.
"Aunt may's it is." Before we could talk any further the ringing in our head reminded us of the students coming our way.
Peter swinged out of the place as I turned around just in time to see Felicia running to me and catching me a bone crushing hug.
"I am glad you're safe." I said hugging her back.
"Me?! What about you?! Are you okay?!" Felicia yelled as she broke the hug.
"I am fine as I promised, I helped out Iron man by... fucking my project up."
She narrowed her eyes at me as I gulped. She can be scary at times when she really wants to be.
"I see... fine but you're going home, now. And try not to save anymore damsels in distress you see on the street." And she most definitely is pissed at my attempt to be a superhero.
After dealing with other teachers, a angry but worried Gwen and Harry who was uncharacteristically worried. I directly went to Aunt May's house to have a long awaited discussion with Peter.
