《Spider's Odyssey》Chapter 2: Do Drugs
Advertisement
“That works.. Now do I?” Jacob threw his arm to the window making the iconic spider hand sign and a thwip was heard as a web latched onto the window. He pulled it and the window had immediately shut. He threw his arm again, this time aiming for a water bottle that was across the room he did the same thing.
*Thwip*
The web launched itself, grabbing onto the water bottle and when it did Jacob shot hit wrist back launching the water bottle into the air and catching it.
“Convenient” Jacob smirked, and rolled back using his free hand to raise his body going into a handstand. He then gently landed on his feet. He downed the whole bottle of water, tossing it on his messy bed before jumping and sticking to the ceiling. He pulled his body up, allowing his hands to also grab the ceiling before looking at himself through the mirror. He crawled on the ceiling, getting closer to the mirror before suddenly hearing footsteps getting closer to his room.
“Jacob Davis, you best be awake when I enter the door. I don’t want to tell you again to wake up, and I sure as hell don’t want you to be late for school for the 100th time.” Jacob then quickly sifted through his memories and sure enough he was usually late due to the train being so far away. That and him not getting to sleep at a decent time since he would typically hang out with his friend for the rest of the day.
“This guy has Rio as his mom and Ned as one of his best friends, but his father is dead. He hasn’t doing the best since then even though it wouldn’t take him that much effort. He has peter levels of intellect. At least I think, I would assume I do.” Jacob analyzed before yelling.
“Mom, I’m up, I’m up.” Jacob announced. He still heard footsteps coming closer, so he quickly tried to come down but his body would let him down. He pulled forcefully not caring if he ripped the paint but it was no used.
“I’m so dead” Jacob panicked hearing her right behind the door.
“Good, Now I made you some toast. Hurry up and get dressed so you can go to school. I work a morning shift, but tonight your fool of a brother will be joining us today. I love you Jacob. Have a good day at school!” Rio called out, before walking away.
“I love you too mom,” Jacob said into the air. He wasn’t sure who or which mom he was referring to, but his limps suddenly let go. He was about to fall onto the floor, but his body instinctually twisted, landing with his leg spread out and his arm on the ground. He breathed out before looking at the mirror again, his face was the same but he was taller than he remember from both of his memories even though he was older in his earth. He stripped off his clothes observing his toned body. He noticed that he looked like a cross build between Chris evans and Andrew, built but not losing any of his lean composition. He rubbed his abs before looking around, and praying that he had clothes that fit.
He walked over to his closest, opening it by turning the knob but his strength got to the better of him, breaking it off.
“Fuckk” Jacob cursed. He walked over to his dresser, opening one of the drawers. He rummaged around before finding a phillips screw driver. He walked back over to he broken door knob and managed to get the door open after fiddling around with it. He picked out some underwear as wells as an outfit, that made him feel silly since his mom got him a size to large. He put the bottom half of the outfit, and realized.

“These fit perfectly now. If not a little too small.” Jacob observed. He put on a white T-shirt, which was also alittle too small, leaving the monstrous muscles in his arms exposed, but luckily the his hoodie covered it. Now properly fitted with clothes that didn’t smell like the sewer, he moisturized his hair.
“I’m glad he has dreadlocks as well. They’re my preferred length too, what luck” Jacob flicked his hair to the side preferring to look like Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger. He then quickly grabbed his phoned, keys, and wallet. He searched around for his backpack but he realized it was still in his locker at school.
“Makes sense why I only had my phone, speaking of which” He took out his phone as he looked at the breaks. He was happy that it was just the screen and nothing else. A quick replacement was all that it needed. He put it away and carefully opened the door, walking out where he saw a door right next to him which was his mother’s room which she barely used since his father’s death, and a door on the opposite side which was his brother’s but he had moved out. A couple of steps from that was a door on the left which held the bathroom. He quickly did what he had to do in there, making sure he was careful as he didn’t want what happened to his closet happen to him here. Jacob, then scurried to the kitchened, looking around before his mind focused on the toast. He immediately drooled at the smell of the toast but fought the desire, checking his watch for the time. It was 7 a.m, and he had 15 minutes to get the train which was 5 miles away. He eyes widened in rage, before he quickly shot a web at the toast catching it by his mouth as he left through the door locking it behind him. He ran down the stairs instantly running as he didn’t want to be yelled at for being late. His first step he almost tripped not being used his body and the amount of strength he had. After a couple of steps he got used to it and picked up the pace, weaving through the civilians of Gotham who had yet to get to work. Jacob extraordinary sense led to him avoiding bumping into anyone while also paying attention to his Jelly toast sandwhich which his mother had already wrapped in a paper towel.
‘Thank you!!’ He smiled and then saw that there was construction with cement workers redoing one of the concrete tiles that had run out of durability. The bad news is that they were also blocking off the rest of the path, but Jacob noticed a tree that would allow him to jump to the other side. He increased his pace, while also making sure that everything was secure before Jumping and catching the branch. He swung, and threw himself over the wet cement and one of the workers simultaneously. Everyone looked at him and the feat he had preformed, but all Jacob did was turn smiling while back pedaling.
“Have a good day guys” He saluted them before trying to dodge a businessmen who held coffee in one hand and his phone in the other. Unluckily, he nudged the guy, knocking the coffee out of his hand. Jacob swung his hand catching the coffee while also dropping his hand at a similar speed, making sure none of the coffee was spilled and then gave it back to the guy who was slightly shocked, but in that state he still grabbed his morning Joe back.

“Sorry” He apologized while turning the corner. He had another 2 miles but he also had 5 minutes left, he looked at his watch, and when he looked up that he need to be faster, or find a better route. He crossed the congested street, almost getting hit by a trucked. He continued running entering an alley that was dead end and after seeing there was no one around him, He quickly climbed the building scaling it as easily as one breathes. Once he reached the top, Jacob decided to release his top speed. He sprinted off to his train trying to make it. Once he reached the end of the building, He spotted another to land but the height got him.
“No, can’t stop. I don’t want to be late.” Jacob kept up his pace as his heart raced him to see who was faster. He jumped landing on the ledge and right before he was about to launch himself, he noticed the height. And quickly lost feeling in his legs.
“FUck” Jacob about to fall, threw his arms trying to aim for the ledge. He managed to hit one of his webs, and swung to the other side of the alley. He grabbed the wall allowing himself to stick to it but immediately started sliding. He willed himself to stick, and soon he stopped. Looking up, he climbed the wall, slowly and methodically but he came up with a better idea and shot two webs to the ledge of the building this time landing both of them after a couple of attempts. He then pulled himself back tensing the webs until they became extremely stiff and he then launched himself to the roof of the building. Jacob then shot another web to the Buildboard, pulling himself towards it.
“to fast, too fast” Jacob braced himself before his body hit the buildboard. He slid off of it. Shaking himself back to reality, he continued his way to the train. Sprinting roof to roof until he saw the platform. The train had yet to came and had another 3 minutes. He climbed down the last alley before the buildings stopped, quickly making his way out to the street. He clapped his hand together prompting the dust and grime to leave his hands before seeing a flower shop, and the owners watering the plants with a green hose. He washed his hands with the exposed water before shaking them, letting the water evaporate with the help of the slightly dirty toast napkin. He looked down only to noticed his clothes looked out of place.
‘They look like I just got out of a tornado. Well I did just run… basically 100 miles per hour? Damn’ Jacob smiled. He realized that he was barely sweating even after breaking human speeds but he knew that he had a tremendously long way to go. He fixed his clothes as he strolled acrossed the street. Reaching the train station, Jacob climbed up the stairs up to the platform. He looked around, taking in the scenery before noticing a piece of graffiti that seemed to be unfinished before hearing that the train is about to arrive. He walked to the middle of the platform blending in with the rest of the people who were on there way to school and work and pulled out his phone. His heart dropped, sad that as soon as he got a new start to life his newish phone was broken. For now he would have to wait to fix it but he still opened it.
‘020395. Birthday? C’mon Jacob. Might as well have no password.’ Going into the settings Jacob changed the password to Stan Lee’s Scarlet, before reading the date. It was Nov 12th, 2010, and he was currently 15. He was supposed to be older than Dick by about a year, but it looked like the opposite was true. Robin first made his appearance in 1992 which would make him about 18 if he started at 9 like the canon. He was also supposed to be a couple of years older than Stephanie but she was just 10 months younger than him. He searched the web for a while waiting for his train to stop, wishing he had brought a coat as it was at most 40 degrees (4.C) out and the sky was a pale grey, daring to snow on him. The train quickly made his way there and he entered the slightly congested train. The mornings are usually busy as most of the regular folks of Gotham want to avoid getting hassled by the thugs and homeless population. Plus with the lack of jobs for the past few years, most had to go to rob for for work again and avoid schooling or any type of education. He has decided to stand and noticing that he no longer felt motion sickness from the train moving so much, he didn’t even move that much, making reading information on his phone so much easier.
‘So the team hasn’t formed yet. Maybe it will in a couple of months but how will it be affected with my arrival. Hey I’m just glad I’m not a freshman, and I’m not totally alone.’ Jacob made a small smile before going back to reading the different events that had happened. It seemed like some of the heroes were younger while others were older with a bunch of things happening before he came like that universe level threat, Doomsday had already made his appearance. Jacob continued researching the events that had happened through the train stops making sure to once and awhile to check where he was at. So far the only change that he could recognize is a slight time shift, but he couldn’t tell how much of a shift had occurred. Suddenly Jacob’s spider sense had gone off. He felt someone approach his shoulder, so he had turned and saw Ned or as he would prefer Ganke with his hand stretched out to tap him. Ganke is his best friend from over the years, as their moms had went to same school of Nursing together and even with splitting off to different residencies, with his mom going to Gotham General Hospital and Ganke’s to Gotham’s Mercy, they had remained close. Ganke and Jacob before he had took over, were great friends from the jump nerding out about star wars and anime.
