CHAPTER 2: FAILURE
"C'mon, Reed! I know I can do it!" Mr. Fantastic laughed. "Sorry, Spidey, but if we added you in we'd have to be the Fantastic Five - which means Betty would have to sew up more costumes! Besides, we don't know you well enough - " "Well, why do you think they call me the FRIENDLY neighborhood Spider-Man?" "Well, you are a hero, and you certainly are friendly, but when we became the Fantastic Four, we all knew each other, and it happened to all of us at the same time. It made us feel like family, and still to this day." Spider-Man lowered his head in disappointment - he was eager to join a band of crimefighters, for he believed it would be much easier that way, and more fun. Thing then walked in and said "Besides, I might accidentally squash you like a bug!" "Great joke," Spidey muttered under his breath.
He sat like The Thinker on the edge of the Fantastic Four building, a place with a huge 4 atop the roof as a symbol. Spider-Man was in no mood for anymore turning down - for there was so much going on in his life... As Peter Parker, a 16-year-old bookworm struggling with bullies, the comfort of only two friends, a boss that hates him, and a deceased Uncle leaving his widow to pay the bills without a job, this only heavies the burden. He decided to continue what sometimes helped him clear his mind, relax his soul - to web swing. But, once again, he was caught in his thoughts, the rhythm of his body motion making it all sensual. "I can't believe they turned me down... Maybe if I do something to prove myself... To show them how good I am... They'll reconsider me..."
Just in time, too - an earsplitting alarm sounded, coming directly from the bank - there was a robbery. Little did Spidey know that the criminals who had jumped in the car that moment were Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx, the three main Hive adversaries of the Titans. "Stay where you are!" he yelled while pursuing them by webslinging. Gizmo simply looked behind him, and his eyes nearly bulged. "HUH?!? Who's that weirdo?" Jinx gave Spidey a small glimpse, then looked back to Gizmo and said "I dunno, but he's catching up! Distract him, you idiot!" One hand on the wheel, Gizmo started tossing what looked like mines behind him and the car, leaving fiery infernos bursting onto the streets and walls for Spidey to dodge while swinging simultaneously.
The roars of the flames and explosions were accompanied by roads crumbling, cars screeching and people screaming. But Spidey was still intent on catching those robbers. Mildly irritated himself, Gizmo cast behind him a large, spherical flying object, which shed into what seemed like twenty dragonfly-shaped robots. They hummed around Spider-Man at an incredibly hastened pace, bewildering him as he delivered missing blows towards the blurs. He eventually tried to web them all, and they spun even faster as if to project a visual oval around the hero. Loose webbing started to cascade from the chaotic circle as Gizmo turned and stuck out his tongue rudely at his target. A lob of webbing sealed his mouth shut.
The robots finally fled, and Spidey was left encased in a huge tangle of webbing, coating him entirely like a mummy and hanging off a single thread on a lamp post. He groaned in both exhaustion and humiliation - they had gotten away. The strand snapped, and Spidey fell to the concrete. "I'm a failure... I failed the Fantastic Four... I failed Uncle Ben..." He then used a free hand that almost couldn't move due to the web to knock himself lightly in the head. "I'm not a hero... I'm not a winner..." He sat there, caught in a web of deceit, a web of sentimental conflict and denial. He wanted to stay there for the rest of his life, the sun beaming down on him as punishment, but then a fiery figure ripped the webs open and pried him out. It was the Human Torch, youngest of the Fantastic Four and a good friend of Spidey's.
"What're you doin'? You can't cook yourself there all day!" he joked. "I... I failed a robbery... Those crooks got away..." Johnny simply patted his friend on the back. "Don't worry about it - everyone loses once in a while. Besides, I don't think you'd last a day with us. It's really killer not hanging out with anyone your age... With my exception..." But Spidey sighed, still hopeless. "Where am I supposed to go, then? I thought it would be easier - and funner - to bust crimes with friends..." Johnny stood there in hesitation for a minute, stroking his chin with a free hand at his hip. "Actually, I know the perfect place for you! Have you ever heard of the Teen Titans?" Spidey looked up. "Teen Titans? Who are they?" "They're all about your age and my age, and they have loads of fun together! You can find them just off the bridge on your way to Rhode Island. I bet they've give such a cool guy like you some slack." Spidey saluted to his ally, and noted "Thanks, Torch! I'll have to come up with something to repay ya!" He called before swinging off to his new destination.
