Chương 97: Chapter 96

The boy looked safe, if just asleep. I quickly hide behind a large work station, jumping onto the wall and crawling my way near the rafters.

"When will it be ready?!" I heard a man yelling. He was standing on a stage before the glass box, decked out in full armour and a robotic right arm. He looked old, like Vietnam old, and judging my the muscles and the scars he probably was in Vietnam.

"W-we are just finishing the formula sir, just a few more seconds and it could improve the chance of success by 12%" a skinny man stood next to the old soldier looking horrified.

"12%? That doesn't seem like much," the man growled.

The skinny scientist gulped, "y-yes, but it is something. The child might even survive this time and-"

"-Your job isn't to save worthless rats!" the man yelled, slamming his metal fist into the stage railing denting it. "Your job is to provide results!"

"Y-yes sir! I know, but-"

"-But nothing!" the man yelled, "start the experiment now! Or do you want a reminder of what I did to your predecessor?" he ended with a growl.

"N-no sir! We'll start right away! Charles! Get everything set! Experiment 32 begins now!"

"Yes Dr. Lang!" a younger man nodded as he moved to press a big red button. I couldn't hide any longer, I needed to stop him!

"Wait!" I yelled out stopping everyone in the room, drawing all eyes on me. They looked shocked at seeing me, I gulped, "so….lovely weather today right?"

"What the hell is Spider-man doing here?!" the old soldier yelled out.

"Stopping you!" I yelled out, pulling out a web cartridge and throwing it at the main control panels. The moment it struck, it exploded into a web grenade, seeping into every crack of the machinery.

"No! He's ruining everything!" the old man yelled, he turned to a couple of stunned guards, "what are you waiting for?! Shoot him!"

The guards broke out of their stunned surprise and quickly opened fire at me. Luckily my spider senses kicked in and I dodged the bullets with ease, leaping away, towards the glass box with the kid inside.

"Bet you can't shoot me!" I taunted. The guards fell for it, shooting at me, I dodged quickly, the bullets breaking the glass box with the kid inside.

"No! Stop him you idiots!" the soldier yelled as everyone else in the room ran away in a panic.

"Thanks you guys! I don't know how I would have broken him out of that box otherwise!" I chuckled as I leaped onto the wall and jumped away, hoping to empty their clips quickly.

But I didn't pay attention to what it was they fired at. A bullet pierced a pipe line next to my mask releasing a green gas that clouded my vision. Immediately everything went blurry and I lost all sense of balance dropping to the ground like a fly.

"You fools! You've killed us all!" Dr. Lang yelled out as he and his assistants ran out of the room.

I felt my head spin, was I poisoned? Oh God, the gas. I could see it leaking out, it would kill the kid, so many dead, I can't let any more die.

I stood up slowly, I saw the guards running away in the corner of my eye. Fucking cowards. I looked at the pipe and held up a shaky hand. I blinked away my heavy eyelids and fired a stream of webbing covering up the pipe, sealing the gas leak.

"Impressive," came the voice of the soldier. I looked up, he was looking down at me from his stage.

"You didn't run like a coward," I chuckled as I felt my feet slowly get it's strength back, I stopped seeing three and slowly focused on him.

"You really are amazing, you know that?" he asked with a smile, "people who have subjected to that gas died in seconds, but you? You survived...you are an asset to my employers."

"Sorry pal, I ain't nobody's asset, least of all a cult of child killers," I spat.

"Sacrifices have to be made," he shrugged as he grabbed his armour and threw it off revealing a muscular body underneath that could have put Thor to shame on the basis of pure muscle mass.

"I'll give you one chance Spider, join me, together we can save the world," the man grinned.

"Sorry, not going to happen," I was panting, don't know how long I can keep standing.

"Fine, be that way, I'll extract your secret's from your corpse!" he charged at me with his right hand raise up. It's palm suddenly changed into a giant metal blade coming straight for me.

I would have usually jumped away and drawn out the fight, learning who he was and who he was working for, but I don't have time for that.

I held up my hand and fired a repulsor blast at his metal arm ripping it into pieces. He swung a stump at me and blinked when it failed to hurt me.

"How did you-"

I fired a web line at his mouth and grabbed him by the collar throwing him up into the air before sticking him to the wall with webbing. "Simple, I'm Spider-man," I turned to the kid, he was slowly coming too. I really wasn't looking forward to this.

I grabbed the kid and put him on my back as I walked into the elevator. It opened up into the ground floor and I slowly walked to the exit. But as I neared the exit I noticed flashes of red and blue outside, please let that be SHIELD, please let that be SHIELD.

I walked out and found the scientist and armed guards being restrained by men and women in black suits. They had the SHIELD logo on their arms -yes!- and standing in front of me with a raised eyebrow was none other than Fury himself.
