《Sticks and Stones • Spideypool ✓》Chapter 7

By the time Peter came out of his room it was almost midnight. I assume he thought everyone would be asleep. Not me. Tony Stark never sleeps. When he sees me he instantly stops in his tracks.
"I- I thought everyone was asleep." he says. He shifts from foot to foot at the door. "You should know by now, I never sleep. What are you doing awake." He just shrugs and makes his way into the kitchen.
He goes to the fridge and takes out some soda. I roll my eyes. "Soda? At this hour." he looks at me, then at the glass I am holding. "Alcohol? At this hour." he retorts with a grin.
"Touche!" we laugh. Peter takes a sip of the soda. The room goes quiet again. I debate inviting my son down to the lab. I open my mouth to ask him but he gets there first. "I'm going on patrol. Wanna come with me?" I stare at him, my jaw dropped. It takes me a minute to regain composure.
"Of course. I would love to!" Peter's face lights up. Forgetting his own strength he slams his glass on the table and runs back to his room. I laugh when he comes stumbling back with his suit half on.
"Come on, Dad!" he zips up the suit, pulls on his mask and makes a beeline to the window. When i realise what he is about to do i run after him. "Peter, what the hell are you doing. There is an elevator right there."
"This way is more fun!" he calls before launching himself out of the window. I tap the silver bands on my wrist and jump out after him. I see Peter perched on a nearby roof top. My suit catches up to me, encasing me in billions of pounds worth of pure awesome.

"God i love technology!" I think to myself as i stabilize my thrusters. I fly back up to the roof and land next to Peter.
"Now i know why you wanna go that way!" I say, slightly out of breath. Peter laughs. "Come on let's get to work."
We make our way through the city. Peter stuck more to street level, whereas I flew high above the city, using my scanners to detect any criminal activity.
I watched as Peter swung his way across New York. I was so proud of him. I hovered in the air, taking it all in. It has been awhile since i had been out in the field. Every now and then we would get calls, but nothing big. Just some wannabe villains who bail as soon as they see us coming.
A small blip on my screen pulled me out of my memories. 'Peter, i got something." I said over the comms. "Already on it." I see a small red blurr swinging beneath me. I forget he does this almost every night. He's better than I thought.
As we approach the scene of the blip I see clouds of grit and sand forming around a building. "Great this guy again." I hear Peter grumble.
Peter shot a web at a billboard and yanked it off its stand, sending it flying into the swirling sand cloud. It must have hit something solid and the sand instantly fell to the ground. I took this as a chance to go in and grab the guy. Peter had gone inside the building to check if there were any casualties. I charged my repulsor and shot beam after beam at the mass. It began to grow again, this time into the form of a giant man. It towered above the building. I raise my hand to shoot it again.

"Dad."
"Not now Peter.
"There's no one in here."
"Thats a good thing Peter.'
"Somethings up."
Before I can answer I hear a loud flapping of wings. I turn round to see a man in full body armour wearing metal wings. He was holding a flashing remote. "Jarvis What is that?" I ask, suddenly nervous. "It's a detonator Sir."
"Well where's the bomb?" A sinister laugh comes from the bird-like villain. I follow his gaze to the building. "NO. Peter get out of there."
"But what if theres-"
"NOW!"
"Too late." I turn back to the villain. He had his finger over the button. "NO!"
The building erupted in flames. I heard terrified screams over the comms. I flew into the burning building. "Jarvis scan for Peter." I could hear violent coughing coming from nearby. I follow the sound to find Peter laid on the floor, I pick him up and fly straight back to the tower. Leaving the fire for the authorities already outside the building.
His breathing was weak and shallow. I plead with him to stay awake, but he slips into unconsciousness.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.
