It was chaos. Pandemonium, if you were feeling fancy (he wasnât feeling fancy). Open whatever Doomâs version of the Raft was; empty the whole rogues gallery onto the streets; send innocent, unassuming citizens formal invitations to fight to their deaths, like the worldâs worst wedding invites; vanish off the face of the earth. A perfect plan. Thanks, Doom. Gotta admire his brain. Peter didnât know what Doomâs endgame was, but it couldnât be anything good. Give him some breathing room and the benefit of hindsight, and he could start trying to put the pieces together. For now, he had a wheel to catch.Â
âHey, you never know. Could be chatty. I was chatty when I took a reckless joyride through a few dozen city blocksâwhich, for the record, was an accident, and also it never happened.â He cocked his head to the side and shrugged. âDonât worry about it. Of course I remember the plan. I was just making sure you remembered the plan. And that the plan hadnât changed.â Before he could finish his own sentence, Peter leapt into the air, ready to swing straight into the Big Wheelâs path. âLife is a highway, my spiky-headed friend. Letâs go stop this asshole from riding it all night long.â
âyou know youâre not helping your case by admitting me these things, right?â the words might sound like he is annoyed, but he wears a small smile. âthe plan hasnât change. letâs go, spidey. letâs kick this son of a bitch.â matt angles his billy club towards a flag pole and presses the button. the grappling hook is deployed and he launches upwards. as he leaps in the skies, his radar sense shows him that there should be a shallow roof just to his 2 oâclock. he lands there and aims his billy club to another flag pole to propel himself further up. he continues doing this for the next block.
heâs by no means as fast as spider-man, but matt manages to close in on big wheel. god. he hates how loud the machine is whirring. itâs almost deafening to mattâs ears. focus elsewhere. he recalls the lessons from his youth. so, he focuses instead on the driverâs heartbeat. as matt waits for spidey to do his part, matt continues trying to reach the meeting point they agreed on. just a little bit more⌠maybe matt ought to reach a little further, in case big wheel decides to give spidey a hard timeâŚ
