Chương 25: Machine Man 24
Meanwhile, Gwen Stacy, the epitome of success and poise, found herself in the glamorous world of a photoshoot inside the META headquarters. Bathed in the glow of studio lights, the morning sun streaming through the windows, she posed with the confidence befitting her status as one of the most successful women in the Fortune 500.
Camera flashes illuminated the room as Gwen effortlessly moved through various poses, showcasing the grace and sophistication that had propelled her into the spotlight. The photographer, appreciating the artistry of the moment, couldn't help but feel fortunate to capture the essence of Gwen's success.
"Okay, Gwen, I've got a secret: It's my copier!" the photographer playfully exclaimed, attempting to break the tension and share a lighthearted moment with his esteemed subject. Laughter echoed in the studio as Gwen indulged the photographer, her genuine smile captivating the lens.
The photographer, ever attentive to detail, noticed an anomaly in the background. Something seemed out of place, disrupting the carefully curated scene.
"What is that thing doing in my background?" the photographer inquired, a hint of annoyance creeping into his voice. His eyes widened as he realized that the building of the META headquarters was about to be marred by a steel beam.
In an instant, chaos erupted. The tranquil atmosphere shattered as a massive steel beam crashed into the building, breaking columns and beams with a deafening roar. Shattered glass added a discordant symphony to the scene, mingling with the gasps of those present. Gwen, caught in the sudden tumult, instinctively sought shelter amidst the wreckage.
In the sleek and advanced HK-Aerial, Alex, received a distressing message from Skynet. The calm artificial voice echoed through the aircraft, "Alex, Miss Stacy is in danger. Please head immediately to META HQ. I have already informed Spider-Man."
Specter's face tightened with worry. The news about Gwen Stacy in danger hit him hard. He realized this situation was playing out just like it did in the established storyline. Even with him changing a lot of things, he couldn't avoid the fact that events were unfolding the way they were supposed to, like following a set script. He muttered to himself, "the canon events still went the way they're meant to." Determination flashed in his eyes as he pushed the HK-Aerial to its limits.
The sleek, black aircraft de-cloaked, revealing its formidable structure. The twin boosters on the sides glowed with an otherworldly energy, emitting a low hum that resonated in the air.
In an instant, the HK-Aerial accelerated with incredible speed, leaving behind a trail of dazzling light. The transition from mach 1 to mach 5 was a display of cutting-edge technology in action, the cityscape transformed beneath him. Skyscrapers blurred into streaks of light, and the landscape became a blur.
Amid the chaos and impending danger at the META headquarters, Spider-Man swung into action with acrobatic finesse. "Gwen!" he shouted as he descended from the heights of the city, at the same time numerous piles of building debris rained from the sky, threatening to unleash havoc on the ground below.
In a swift and calculated move, Spider-Man spun a vast web, a makeshift net that intercepted the falling debris. The agile superhero's actions turned potential disaster into a controlled descent, saving the city from additional calamity.
Spiderman doing his best to prevent any further accident from happening. Shoots one web after another to stop huge concrete from hurting anyone.
Below, amidst the erupting chaos, a police officer desperately informed George Stacy of the ongoing crisis. " Commissioner Stacy, they got some kind of short up there! They can't shut down the crane!" The urgency in the officer's voice echoed the escalating peril.
Commissioner Stacy, in a decisive move, issued orders to mitigate the danger. "Get Edison on the phone. Have them kill the power for the whole block," he commanded, recognizing the need for swift and decisive action.
Inside the META headquarters, Gwen Stacy, rose to her feet, displaying resilience in the face of imminent danger. "Are you all right?" she inquired, helping her employees regain their footing.
However, the threat persisted. The crane hit the building again, causing the floor beneath Gwen to collapse. In a moment of terror, she grabbed onto a telephone, screaming as she found herself on the brink falling.
Amid the tumult, Eddie Brock, witnessed the perilous situation unfolding. "Oh my God. It's Gwen!" he exclaimed; shock evident in his voice. Commissioner Stacy, bewildered, questioned the stranger's presence.
"I don't know. I was supposed to photograph her and my boss cancelled it the last minute and call in a different one, she had a modeling gig,"
Eddie explained, identifying himself as Edward Brock, a Daily Bugle employee initially hired as a photographer. Commissioner Stacy, seizing Eddie's camera, discovered the horrifying truth as he glimpsed through the lens – his daughter Gwen, precariously positioned on the edge, fighting to hold on.
The atmosphere in the city lightened as the HK-Aerial soared into view. Specter, the enigmatic figure synonymous with advanced technology and swift intervention, descended upon the scene. People on the ground pointed upward, their faces transforming from fear to relief. "Look, it's Specters Jet! His here to save the day," someone exclaimed, the crowd echoing in cheer.
In the midst of the commotion, a woman in the crowd couldn't help but make a lighthearted remark, "I wish I was the one dangling in there," drawing a few chuckles from those nearby.
As the HK-Aerial hovered in the air. Its hatch opened with a swift precision, revealing the iconic figure of Specter, the guardian cloaked in advanced technology. (New suit in comment.)
Without hesitation, Specter soared into the sky, leaving vibrant blue light trails in his wake. The onlookers gazed upward, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and hope as Specter raced towards Gwen. As he approached Gwen, concern evident in his voice. "Gwen, are you okay?" he inquired, as he grab hair in a princess carry.
Gwen, nervously responding, reassured him, "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay." Spider-Man, swinging gracefully onto the scene, also checked on Gwen's well-being. "Are you okay?" he asked, to which Gwen confirmed her safety.
Specter, taking charge of the situation, instructed Spider-Man, "Hold her." With a seamless exchange, Specter transferred Gwen into Spider-Man's care, freeing himself to address the imminent threat.
Swiftly descending, leaving Gwen behind the safe embrace of Spider-Man. The cityscape blurred beneath him as he directed his focus towards the source of danger.
With swift movements he approached the uncontrolled crane. His suit emitted a low hum as he extended his armored hands, firmly grasping the steel structure. With a forceful yet controlled maneuver, he halted the crane's erratic movements, bringing it to a standstill.
With a swift motion, Specter's left forearm revealed a seamless projectile launcher. Ping-pong ball-sized projectiles shot out, hitting the crane. Upon impact, they transformed into a sturdy black substance resembling Spider-Man's webbing, effectively securing the crane in place.
His attention shifted to the man who had been precariously trap on the uncontrolled machinery. With a swift and precise motion, Specter rescued the operator, ensuring his safe descent to solid ground.
As debris continued to fall, Spider-Man's web net, initially holding strong, began to show signs of strain. Witnessing the potential danger, Flint Marko, a man with newfound sand-controlling abilities, observed the precarious situation. His thoughts raced and the image of his daughter, Penny, flashed in his mind. With a determined resolve, Marko transformed into particles of dust, a supernatural ability gifted by his unique powers. As he intercepted the falling debris,
Countless particles of sand suspended in the air, from a sand storm. Orchestrating a scene that defied the laws of physics. Onlookers in the streets below gasped and pointed, their expressions a mix of disbelief and awe.
A passerby couldn't help but exclaim, "Am I seeing things? Is that sand? Is this some kind of magic show?"
Another onlooker, eyes wide with astonishment, replied, "No magic here, just look at that – it's like the sand itself is holding everything up!"
"Is this a new superhero or something?"
"I thought I've seen it all, but sand stopping concrete and building debris? Unbelievable!"
A child, tugging at their parent's sleeve, pointed to the spectacle and exclaimed, "Mom, dad, look! The sand is saving the city!"
As the sand storm gently guided the debris down, forming a controlled descent, the murmurs in the crowd intensified. Marko having successfully save the people from being hit, began to fly back into the Specters Aircraft. The onlookers on the streets below, still processing the surreal events they had just witnessed, exchanged bewildered glances.
A woman pointed at the flying sand and remarked, "Did anyone else just see that? The sand just went back up like it had a mind of its own."
As the sand particles regrouped in the vicinity of the HK-Aerial, a collective murmur swept through the crowd. People craned their necks, attempting to catch a glimpse of the mysterious force behind this astonishing display.
A teenager, wide-eyed and excited, couldn't contain their curiosity. "Hey, do you think Specter has, like, a super-powered ally or something? Maybe they're working together to save the city!"
A group of friends engaged in animated speculation. "Could it be a new hero in town? Someone with control over sand? That's wild!"
Nearby, an elderly man, seasoned by the ups and downs of city life, leaned on his cane and offered a wry smile. "In this city, you never know what's gonna happen. Superheroes, supervillains – it's all part of the show."
As Spider-Man gracefully descended from the chaos above, he expertly cradled Gwen Stacy in his arms before gently landing in front of her father, Commissioner Stacy. The city's sirens wailed in the background, creating a stark contrast to the relieved, hushed atmosphere that followed their descent.
Commissioner Stacy, his eyes reflecting both concern and relief, rushed to his daughter's side. "Gwen, are you okay?" he asked, his voice edged with paternal worry.
Gwen, still catching her breath, managed a reassuring smile and nodded. "I'm okay, Dad. Spider-Man saved me."
Spider-Man, ever the quipster, added with a smirk, "Just another day in the neighborhood, Commissioner Stacy."
As the immediate danger subsided, the tension in the air began to dissipate. George Stacy, visibly grateful, thank Spider-man even though he loathes vigilantism these so-called super heroes did save his daughter and the People of New York.
