[IC] The Spider Men and Women of Manhatten

[rocketrobie2]

It was a pretty quiet night in Manhattan which didn't often happen. Usually you could hear alarms or people yelling and screaming at this time of night due to it being the main time criminals came out to wreak havoc. But tonight it seemed that the criminals took the night off which was good for the spider-men and women of Manhattan.
"Come on. Where are they!" Web-head said quietly to himself as he waited at tonight's meeting spot. Every time the Spider Men and Women met it would be at a different location that would be marked by a special piece of spider graffiti. Tonight was the first meeting since the law enforcement took out most of the gang and tonight was mostly about seeing who's left and seeing the new recruits. Robert had been waiting at the spot ,which was an alley way, for about an hour now and he was afraid that he was the only member left.

[==Neo==]

It was a weird night in so many way's.
the biggest one and the one where Neo wondered the most about what was up was the little thing called quite...
No criminals, no crimes, not even sirens.
Even the streets under him, as he swung around town, felt empty, no aura's, no living aside the hobo's.
It seemed to good to be true and it was a lucky thing that they had the first meeting tonight, that way he could ask what the other thought about this...
As he swung to the side of a building he let go of his web, landing and sticking to the wall.
crawling upwards, then walking on the roof to crawl back down a little in order to get to the meeting spot.
"yo" he said to Web-head as he shifted his position in order to sit as he stuck his feet to the wall at the same time.

[==SR==] (Silver Ryu)

Ryu started today off at a different location.
he was not a member of the group yet, he did not even know they existed..

Today had to be a bad day.
Ryu had seen a kid, a small child, getting beating by some guy that kept yelling to the kid to give him all his money..
Seriously, a grown up guy beating a child into a pulp over money? how many children that play on the streets even carry money to begin with, he never had any money when playing outside.
So naturally he jumped in, grabbing the bat the guy was using, pulling it out of the man's hands and thrown it away, the guy got angry and smashed his fist into my chest.
I could hear the bones in his hand break as it hit the silver colored layer of second skin, the man was at least smart enough to run screaming.
I could laugh at that at least, looked at the kid and got a rock in my face, did not hurt but still "hey what kind of thanks is that?"
The kid threw a second one "kid, where did you hide those rocks when he was beating you, I am just freaking standing here, ah screw it"
I ran, seriously I ran from a kid, Why dont I have any any powers like shooting webs to sling away in style, here I am, super hero and I am running like the guy that broke his hand on my skin from the kid that same guy was beating, since when did super hero's become targets to bulling of little kids they save from bulling adults???

still that sucked, felt completely ridiculed, but then I just had to run into a street gang, and guess what, its broken hand guy's friends.
worst of all I heard a sound from behind right after that.
"mutant scum, die" followed by the blast of a gun.
judging from the sensation it had to be a shotgun, it feels like I got a huge ball against me, but at least the pebbles are small enough not to hurt me.
But others also pulled guns, so... yeah...
have been running from those idiots for like 15 minutes before I realized, they had bikes, simple bicycler so did not hear it, but it explains why they kept up, only reason they failed to catch up was they kept trying to shoot my ass, and I meant that, they literally were aiming for my ass!!
like what kind of super human hating idiots aim at a persons butt and not at the head of chest or, something vital??
did they wanted to torture me so they had to capture me or something, then why shoot a freaking shotgun first??
My only upside is that I am familiar with this place and if memory serves... yes, fire-stairs, one jump.... got it, yes, they wont be able to climb up here like this, I hope, at least it slows them down enough to get away...
Climbing up as fast as I could, I started to jump from rooftop to rooftop to rooftop, getting to a big gap, I shifted the silver like mass, opening my stomach area in order to make some wings, at least I could glide barely enough to get to the other building.
Pulling my power back into my back I breathed, exhausted..
then I slapped my face "could have just used claws and climbed a building that way, would have been faster, arrg, freaking stupid me"
I sat down and suddenly heard something, down below was what seemed like a meeting of costumed funny guys, 2 of which looked a lot like...
"Spidy??"
For now I decided to stay put and listen in, that is, if they at the vary least talked loud enough.

(NOTE: Ryu showed up on that rooftop after the official group had assembled, making him last to appear (unless others are not part of the group yet like him)))

[Pathfinder]

The sound of messy eating, tearing flesh, and snapping bone was heard quite clearly as Tarantula feasted on the cow carcass in the back of the butcher shop. It was an unspoken agreement between Tarantula and the butcher, Tarantula would keep the area safe and the butcher would leave meat out for him. Giving a final swallow, Tarantula stood up from his spot on the ground and using his strength, lept high into the air and landed on the roof of the butcher before doing the same thing to get to the other rooftop. As he didn't have any fancy web shooter Tarantula ran and jumped across the rooftops, occasionally clinging to walls if he misjudged the jump.

Eventually however, he found the meeting place. No one could see him yet but he could see them, well actually him to be more accurate. There was only one person there. Tarantula wasn't so sure this was a good idea anymore, he wasn't exactly the prettiest thing to walk out of a sewer. However, after a solid five minutes of debate, Tarantula decided that he didn't have much options. "Besides, they are going to need a strong guy right?" he thought to himself for comfort.

Dropping down, the cement cracked under his force and Tarantula looked the spider man lookalike before saying "Who are you?" in his gravelly, monster like voice.

Marcus started the day per usual with the morning history special about the retired heroes, today was about Daredevil. Eating cereal, watching super heroes. There are dark bags under his eyes from late night alerting to heroes. He didn't know some of there names they were just heroes. He has built a reputation if a hero hadn't talk to M.A.G. they know a hero who has. After breakfast and his show ending he takes a walk down the street to news stand and purchases a new comic released that day. He then would take a walk through central park read his comic play chess with some old people, an under cover really old Doc Ock, with his extra arms removed of course, he became a bum shortly after that and lives in central park nowadays. After Chess, it's around noon so he goes to a pizza place, gets a Hawaiian style slice for him, and a dollar cheese slice for the doctor. The Marcus goes on his marry way, back to his house. He puts his new comic in his collection, and sits at his computer watching through the surveillance cameras that are around the city.

M.A.G. notice a grouping of Cell signal he had dictated as heroes, so he sends a mass text all of them, 'What's with the Hero party' ,M.A.G. He sends the message and now waits.

The sun's almost down, and that meant it was time to go to work.

Charlene was currently squatting in an upscale, furnished, and as yet un-rented apartment. She lay on the plastic covered mattress, twiddling her thumbs for the last half hour. She had been asleep before this, but it was nearing time to go to the meeting, and she was restless, and nervous to see how many - or how few - people had survived. As the natural light from the windows started to give way to streetlights(she couldn't risk running any electricity, or she might be caught by the gauges) she got with a crinkle of plastic, grabbed her pre-packed backpack and threw it over her shoulders. She took a quick peek out the alley-facing window, to make sure nobody was around, and then opened it and crawled up the wall.

As she crawled a thin, mottled purple film began to encroach from under her clothes, covering her arms and legs. It also crawled up her head and across her eyes, but left her mouth free, and her hair hanging out the top. At the top of the building, she "knelt" sticking out perpendicular to the wall, and pulled her backpack off. She pressed it against the bottom of the roof's overhang and purple strands ran off of her arms to secure it to the wall.

With all her earthly possessions stashed away neatly, she back-flipped off the wall from her kneeling position, and slung a purple web out into the night, swinging over the streets.

~~~

Minutes later, she climbed over the edge to meet with whoever was left. Two that she knew. That was it. And something else that she had never seen. As she emerged from the edge and stood, she crossed her arms and looked at the little group. She herself had a little Spidey flair in her "costume," she wore a black denim vest with the Spider-Man's logo ironed on the back, and a smaller version on the front. The vest had a hood, which came up to cover her already masked head.
"Web," she said, "Neo. What's this?" She looked over the two, and then to Tarantula.

[rocketrobie2]

Web-Head looked over at the monstrous person in front of him who asked who he was and replied "names Web-Head. I'm hopping your here too join our little cause?" he replied marvelling at how the behemoth looked. He nodded towards Filth and Neo when they each arrived then turned to the new comers. Web-Head looked at who had shown up and looked around with a sad expression on his face but if course it was hidden behind his mask. Robert had hoped more people survived the bounties but it seems there were only three originals left and a few new recruits.
"Well guess this is it then. To you who have decided to join our little group of do-gooders I'm pretty relieved that some people still share our vision of taken down Oscorp for the filth it it, no offence Filth, but above all our group represents protecting those who can't protect themselves so let me be the first to welcome you into our organization. Now I know this is a bit of a big responsibility to take on but with your great powers we can save this city from itself." Web-Head said looking from person to person. That had been the introduction said at the beginning of all meeting before the purge of the group but of course Web-Head added in his own quips naturally filling in the gaps of the parts he forgot.

[Charlie]

Marcus had tapped into multiple street cameras, although he did not see that much 'they do know how to hide' he thought to himself, slightly agitated by the restraint of technology. "I'm going to need a debrief, after this." Marcus says spinning in his chair. "I'll keep a camera on them," he says pulling it into another monitor of his multi monitor computer as he continues to search Manhattan for crimes.

[mattmanganon]

Hans ran across a rooftop, his goblin costume on and Glider snuggly fitted into a harness on his back to store it when not in use. He seemed to be running faster and faster, making mind boggling leaps with single bounds. Soon, he reached the place that he had been looking for and dropped down and looked at a trio of delinquents, they looked at him before running, but the Super Soldier syrum running through him pushed him to do better than them. Throwing his Glider into the air, he charged at them, the glider beaped and blasted towards him, he jumped and it shot past him, knocking the first two off their feet and sending them spiralling into a wall. He then seemed to hunker onto all fours as he charged, jumping and tackling him to the ground, he grabbed the man and hoisted him up by his collar. "WHERE ARE THE FUCKING DRUGS!?!?!?" he roared at him. The man shuddered in fear. "YOU THINK SELLING TO THOSE MINORS MAKES YOU A TOUGH GUY?!?!?" He bellowed, pointing his free thumb at the kids, he dragged the man back through the alley, "You had best get home..." he growled at the two teenagers he had knocked aside with his glider, before climbing atop his glider and flying high above New York. "Lovely View isn't it?" he giggled. He then stopped and growled as the man pissed his pants. He looked into the mans eyes before flying back down to street level and dropping the man by a pair of beat-patrol officers. "I caught this man dealing drugs to underaged buyers..." he said, they looked at him, before deciding that the bullet-proof vest that Goblin had on, combined with his large, technologically advanced glider probably meant that they really didn't stand a chance of bringing him in... And did they really want to? Of all the crimes going on in New York, saving a pair of kids from ODing on heroine was WAAAAAY down the list.

"Thanks..." said one of them. Goblin looked at his hand, it was shaking. He then before he blasted off, he needed to meet the others. Landing in an alleyway, he decided to take the rest of the trip by foot. He finally found the Spider-graffiti. He seemed to stumble towards Web-Head before pulling his helmet off and throwing it down, he then pulled a bottle of pills from his jacket and popped it, his hands shaking so badly that the pills seemed to fly everywhere. "BLODE FOTZE!!!" he yelled, smashing his fist into the concrete, cracking it, he then grasped and found a pair of the pills before popping them in his mouth and sitting down. His finger tapped jaw lining just under his ear. He seemed to breath deeply and calmly... "Es tut mir leid... Web-Head... Sorry..." he reached for his helmet and secured it over his face. He then looked at the Venom creature "But, it appears as though I am not zhe only one of us vis problems..." he laughed. "I think the original Spider-man is probably turning in his grave, because of this..." he said, looking down at his costume. "But... Believe it or not, i'm here to help..."

==Neo==

Neo looked at Filth as she greeted him.
"hey, how's the thing, still listening to you?" he asked, he had seen a symbiot in real live before, or at least he can remember having seen one before, knowing that they can do and how they normally act, it was one of those weird memories had had woken up with.
He then looked at tarantulas to react to her question "beats me, but he wont be here for a beauty competition"

Then the goblin entered the party as well.
for some reason Neo's stomach turned at the thought that what is normally an enemy was willing to be an ally, on the other hand he had not problem with Filth, which makes him wonder why...
it was then that web-head started his talk.

==SR==

Ryu watched the group as he listened to what they were talking about.
from what he could hear it seemed like they were planning to take down Oscorp.
well it was true that the organisation was filth and had a huge deal in the current rise of criminal activity, but would taking it down really fix things, would it even be possible and if so, who would they plan to do it.
But he did agree fully with helping those that were in need, and if they were going to take on oscorp they needed al the help they could get.
Ryu chucked a laugh at the thought that while he would help innocents, he would also help some other hero's, hero's like those that were in need of help, it was kind of funny.

besides it would be funny to help out two other spiderman wannabe's or fans for that matter.
stepping back a little the silver skin stretched out from his back once more to cover his body as he ran and jumped across the buildings, spreading the silver mass for some wings in order to glide to where they were.
letting himself drop the final bit and as he stood up retracted the wings back to where they came from.
"yo, mind if I drop in?"

[rocketrobie2]

"It's fine Goblin. I know you got some... Things, to work out with your powers." Web-head said feeling sorry for the man. He had to live with the vary same powers that led the last two Green Goblins to their deaths. He hoped the same fate wouldn't befall Goblin. Suddenly the silver armoured hero showed up "don't mind at all. We can use all the help we can get." Web-head said. "Now I think that's all that's coming. We'd better get to work if we wanna make a difference here and tonight is a good night to start. Tonight Oscorp is shipping some test items from their labs to testing facilities and if we can intercept those transports then that'll get us a good footing in this up hill battle." Web-Head said as he used his legs to cling onto one of the buildings wall and raise him off the ground. "Follow me. If you see someone falling behind try to help them along. We're not solo now. We're a team." Web-head said as he began leaping up the building and running across the Manhattan skyline. Soon they came to a building top that gave a perfect view of the shipping site of the test items. There were heavy duty guards patrolling the area in suit that seemed like they would enhance the strength of the user but they were still susceptible to normal damage and couldn't lift that much. Also along with this there was an unsettling feeling in the air that mad everyones hair stand on end. Web-Head looked back at those whom had made it there and sighed "man did that many people actually get lost? well we can't go looking for 'em now. You guys have any particular way you wanna go at this?" Web-Head asked.

[Drake Baku]

Neo looked at the situation down below.
"those suits might pose a problem if we get to close, one hit and were out"

Ryu shook his head at that comment "not for me, lets say i'll play the distraction and you guys do... what ever it is you guys can do?"

[mattmanganon]

Goblin was rather reassured by the acceptance of the others. "Hmm... I zuppose that if I vanted to, I could always come up vis a more zpider like costume." he mumbled. He followed the other rest of the Spider-Men on their way to the mission, although, he arrived about 15 minutes after the others. "Zorry, a big fire on zhe other side of town, a few of our comerades went to help. Und since I don't want to draw any attention, I couldn't use zhe glider. So I had to hoof it all the way here." He panted and hunched over. breathing deeply, but then flung his head back up. "Und i'm ready."

They then analyzed the situation. "Alright, Here's how we should play this. First, you two go in seperately for a scouting run, see what we need to capture und what we need to destroy. Whilst you're doing that, I'll place a few of these badboys on all by one of the trucks, as well as a few non-essential containers." he took out a Pumpkin Grenade. "Remote Detonated explosive, with a failsafe to make it boom is it loses contact with the remote. Just enough to get there attention, and maybe take out a few unwanted nasties. Then, we meet back here and take another 5 minutes to discuss what to grab und what to boom. Then." he pointed to Ryu "you load up the non-boom truck, with what we need, whilst I plant explosives on what we want to boom und Webhead causes a distraction. We can then get those toys back to base, whilst i provide air-support from my Glider. I'll place a boom over our exit to make sure that, once we escape, they cannot ship anymore for at least a night or two." he said. He then took out a pair of Pumpkin Grenades and handed one to each of them. "Always plan for if everything goes wrong. If one of us gets caught, or killed and the plan is ruined, plan B is grab what you can und boom what we can't let them keep. Then scarper. If that happens. I'll take the glider und blast what I can to cause enough distraction for you two to get away. If I die..." he took the Glider off its holster on his back and dropped it off the side of the building, it hurtled down towards a dumpster, but stopped inches before hitting the dumpster, then daintily floated down into it. "Take it and use it for what you can... With any luck, it won't come to that." he looked at them. "Good plan?"

[rocketrobie2]

Web-Head looked at goblin and smiled under his mask at the handy work of the plan "sounds good to me, and don't worry it won't come to 'that'" he said referencing Goblin keeling over "none of us are gonna die tonight. I won't let that happen" he finished as he looked down at the scene before them then back to Ryu and Neo "you two up for some stealth? that is if you think you can pull it off of course" Web-Head said as he leapt from the current building and off to another so he could scamper down to scout around below. As he got close to the middle of the compound the hair on his arm began to stand on end more so.
