Inside the house, Hero sat down on the couch.
"Ok. First, we need to get control of your powers. You seem to be able to stick to things, have Super Strength, Shoot Webs-" Kel was cut off by Basil screaming, before Aubrey shut him up.
"Anything else?" Kel asked.
"Well, before something hurts me, this loud sound plays in my head. Like a warning. And I can heal…" Hero said.
"Hey, cheer up. We'll get this under control! Your pretty powerful now!" Kel said. Hero froze. He was a bit… lost in thought.
Aubrey brought Basil aside. Sunny and Kel went over.
"HE SHOOTS WEBS?! WEBS?! OH GOD! DO YOU KNOW WHERE ON A SPIDER SPIDERWEBS COME FROM?!" Basil panicked.
"It comes from his wrists, I saw it." Kel said. Basil didn't believe him. Sunny gave his girlfriend a look. She nodded at him. She approached Hero and shouted, scaring him and causing him to fire a web from his wrist.
"A-AUBREY?!" Hero yelled, panicking as Kel went over to calm him down. Basil was relieved.
Hero was reminiscing. A few weeks before Mari…
Well he met up with her to get her mind off the recital. They were talking.
"People have power over others. I mean, I have some sort of power over Sunny. I'm making him miserable, aren't I? I have a great power. With great power comes great responsibility. And I'm using it badly! But he just WON'T PLAY RIGHT!"
After being spooked by Aubrey, Kel came over to calm him down. Hero thought about Mari's words.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
Kel suggested he use his powers to fight evil. As horrible as these powers are, as terrifying as they are, they are strong. And it would be wrong not to use them for good. Maybe Kel was right? But first, he needed to learn to control them.
"You know, you seem to unstick whenever you relax!" Basil said. It was true, now that Hero was relaxed he wasn't sticking to things. They looked at the wall where the web he fired hit. The web was dissolving.
"Looks like the webs start to dissolve after an hour…" Sunny said.
"Ya got Super Strength, You're Faster, You're balance seems to have improved drastically, and you have some sort of healing factor!" Aubrey said.
"Thanks guys. I appreciate you guys trying to help." Hero said. He still looked upset.
"Hey, even if your some sort of Spider Man, your still my brother!" Kel said.
"And our friend!" Aubrey said.
Hero smiled a bit. He still felt…wrong. But…he'll get through this! With his friends and brother's help, he'll get through this.
"Kel, I think I'll…try this whole…Superhero thing" Hero said. Kel ran up and hugged him. Hero grabbed him and ruffled his hair. He was still nervous, but..
"I'll design a suit!" Aubrey said.
And so our heroes prepared to be, well, heroes.
A few years ago, there were three professors. Molly, Marina, and Medusa Octavius. Experts in their fields of robotics, biology, and chemistry. They saw fame for many years, until there more…unethical experiments were uncovered. From the dangerous bombs and robots made by Molly, the Chimeric Abominations made by Marina, to the lethal chemicals made by Medusa. And uncovering the many people who were used as test subjects. Most were dead. The rest…
The sisters fled. Marina decided to experiment on herself and her sisters, merging them with cephalopod DNA. They became stronger, faster, more powerful. Combined with their vast array of weaponry, they were strong. Molly even added cybernetic tentacles to herself, 4 of them. They generally didn't attack people, they cared more about their experiments. But when they went on supply runs, the military was often called in.
Such was the case today, when Hero got his powers. Molly was out stealing supplies for her experiments. She was LIVID to have been defeated.
In the government facility where she was being held, screams began to echo through the halls. Suddenly, the wall to Molly's cell exploded, revealing her sisters, standing there.
"Took you two long enough!" Molly said.
"Don't be like that. I think we may have found something out about that webhead who beat you…" Medusa said.
Medusa took out a security camera. The footage showed it falling into an ally. Minutes later, a teenage boy ran past, but you could see his face for a few seconds. He talked with someone.
"Get Away! I don't know what's going on! I'm a freak!" A voice said.
"No you're not, you're my big brother! And I mean, you beat up a Supervillain!"
Molly's eyes lit up as Medusa paused it.
"Spidey's got a baby brother, huh?" Molly said.
"Can we get him? It's been so long since I had a human test subject!" She said.
"I've been wanting to test the effects of a new acid on human flesh…" Medusa said.
"Both of you shut it! We'll head back to the lab, and think of a plan. In the meantime, I need some upgrades…" Molly said, brandishing her mechanical tentacles. The trio left, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.
Am I going to fast? The learn your powers section of stories is always my least favorite, and I want to get more into Hero's internal struggle. As for the slime girls, Molly is Doc Ock, but she isn't based on Oto Octavius but rather Olivia Octavius (if you've seen Spiderverse, you know who I'm talking about)
