109Spider-Men (Jason's perspective)
Jason and Akiko were sad to learn Korra was leaving only a day after Jinora's ceremony, however they also both understood that Korra needed to recover and the best place to do so wasn't in the city but back home in the South Pole with her family and Katara. If anyone could help Korra's recovery process it was her, for now however the couple watched as the ship that was going to take Korra to the South Pole pulled into Yue Bay. The Pair stood in a gazebo, the pair both leaning on the railing looking out to the sea. "Well on the bright side? Korra will get to be a princess for a while." Akiko said with a smirk, trying to be positive about her friend leaving.
"I think Korra would rather want to be anything other than a princess." he replied, the thought of Korra as someone of royalty being hard to even picture. Jason pushed off the banister and reached his hands behind his head, "At least we won't be wrapped up in any of her adventures that put us at risk." He said, thinking back to how their invitation to the South Pole for the Spirit's Festival had reunited him with Verrick of all people, and then it happened again with he and Aki tailing them around the Earth Kingdom.
Akiko's face turned sour, "I still can't believe that bastard can't be brought back here…..I'd feel a lot safer if he was in jail. Or six feet under the ground." She added bitterly, ushering Jason to wrap his arms around her front and pulling her back into his chest in a comforting embrace. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in, "I'm glad we're home….I know I've said it before but I am happy to be back in the city." She said gratefully as he arms stretched back past Jason's head and encircled around his neck and pulled his head into her shoulder and planted a kiss on his cheek, "With my husband to be." She added with a smile.
Jason beamed at his future title, Akiko accepting his proposal had been the highlight of their trip across the Earth Kingdom. They still had others to tell of course but with the date currently up in the air at the moment, it wasn't a pressing concern. As the ship pulled into dock the pair began to make their way to the sea craft, arriving at the docks minutes later they saw they were not the only ones to see Korra off on her journey. Aside from the Tenzin and Team Avatar, Jinora was present as well, "Now don't take this the wrong way, but I can't wait for you to leave." Bolin said to the avatar, making the others look at him skeptically.
"How else is she supposed to take that, but the wrong way?" Mako asked his brother as he crossed his arms over his chest in a disapproving manner.
"I mean because I've never had a pen pal before!" Bolin explained, causing both Jason and Akiko to snicker as the lavabender went on to explain to Korra, "I'm going to write you so many letters and just to get the ball rolling, here." He said as he dug into his back pocket and pulled out a envelope and handed it to Korra. "Spoiler alert….Pabu and I already miss you." He said as he clasped his hands together, the fire ferret making a squeaking sound of agreement.
Korra looked down at the letter in her lap with a small smile, "Thanks, that's sweet she said earnestly, expecting nothing other than a sweet gesture as such from Bolin.
Asami, standing behind the Avatar put her hands on her friend's shoulders, "Are you sure you don't want some company in the southern water tribe? I'm happy to come with you." She offered.
The avatar shook her head, "No I apricate it but I'll only be gone a couple of weeks, a little time alone would be good for me." She said, trying to convince herself that was the case. She looked up and saw Jason look at her unconvincingly. She lowered her head again.
"Now, I don't want you to worry about a thing while you're gone. Your recovery should be your number one concern. Jinora, the airbenders and I have everything under control." He said reassuringly to the Avatar, though she did not at all seem comforted by that fact.
Jason nudged Akiko, she too noticed the apprehensive look on her face, "Hey Korra, you mind if we help you up onto the ship. I mean your strong but I'm pretty sure you can't wheel yourself up a ramp." She said, gesturing to the slope of the ramp, the Avatar nodded and Jason grabbed her wheelchair by the handles and began pushing her up the Rap with Akiko fallowing them.
"Thanks." She said gratefully as they boarded the deck of the ship, as Jason pushed her along the deck, Korra looked down in her lap at the letter that Bolin had given her. Part of her wanted to crumple it up, part of her wanted to read it, but she had not the will nor desire to do either. Akiko walked beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder, the Avatar looked up at her and gave her a reassuring smile, Korra mirrored it, "Glad you're getting your bed back?"
The firebender shrugged, "Yeah….but I'm also losing a maid of honor so…" she trailed off, making Korra's eyes widen as Akiko simply smirked at her, "That's only after you get better though, me and Jason agreed that the wedding wouldn't be complete without you there….that being said take your time….we need money….a lot of it…..badly." she said, her voice starting to drop as she explained more and more. When she and Jason returned the pair had breezed through what the going rate was for a wedding. Even the smaller, more intimate weddings were out of their price range for the time being.
Korra couldn't help herself, "How much are you talking?" she asked.
"Let me put it this way, once you get walking again? Break both your legs, by the time you recover we should have a quarter of it finished." Jason said shakily as he did some of the estimates in his head. He was considering possibly getting a second job to try and get the bill, but between schoolwork, the Marvel, and Spider-Man he had no time whatsoever. The three stopped with Korra facing out to the docks, Akiko gave the Avatar one last hug before making her way back towards the ramp, leaving Jason and Korra alone.
The Avatar spoke first, "I hate this….being useless." She admitted as Jason leaned against the railing beside her.
He nodded, "I know how being useless feels, trust me….difference is Korra this isn't permanent. Ren Reeds himself said it and he's the smartest guy in the world. He knows what he's talking about." The spider hero pointed out reassuringly, however Korra's mood didn't change from its downtrodden state. He turned and faced her, "Ok, what's really bugging you then?" he asked.
Korra was silent for a few minutes before speaking, "I've always been the Avatar…but now? I can't walk, let alone help anyone…I just…I don't know who I'm supposed to be if I'm not out there in the world helping people." She explained. Since she was but a little girl she was the Avatar, she was the youngest avatar recorded to have been able to bend more than her base element and was trained since she was discovered. But when Amon stripped her of her bending she was lost, she hit her lowest point as Aang said but this….this was different.
She was no longer connected to Raava, she had no past lives to rely on to help her. Sure she could bend but what use was that when she couldn't even walk?
Jason kneeled in front of her, "Korra….I can't answer that….but I think you can." He began, "You've been the Avatar all your life, but have you ever wondered who you would be if you weren't?" he asked, stunning Korra. In all her years she hadn't seriously considered the possibility of her being….normal. Jason gestured to himself with his hand, "Look at me, I was a normal little nerd for years before that spider bit me." He thought for a minute on how to explain further, "Look, you know that I'm not Jason all the time, and I'm not Spidey twenty four seven either…..it'd be easy to be one or the other but being both? It….completes me I guess….maybe you should stop thinking of being the Avatar for now….and wonder who Korra is?" he suggested.
The Avatar thought over his proposal for a few moments, what if she wasn't the Avatar? Who would she be then? Would she even be a waterbender? Probably since both her parents were but still she never asked these questions, "Maybe your right." she muttered before Jason embraced her, she returned it, "I'll miss you guys…..you were my first friend here." She said, making the spider hero smile.
"Yeah you kind of got screwed over there I won't lie." He joked, making Korra roll her eyes before slugging his shoulder lightly. "Get back when you can, but get better first." He said before putting a hand on her shoulder and giving her another grin before walking back down the ramp towards the dock. The group watched as the ship began to depart for the South Pole, taking the Avatar along with it.
"MAN I MISSED THIS!" Spider-Man shouted as he swung through the air past skyscrapers. Flinging himself off his webline he flipped through the air through a series of acrobatics before attaching a web and dipping down over the sidewalk before attaching other strand to the corner of a building and swinging up the side of it where he landed on a billboard. Springing off the flat surface he shot another webline and continued swinging through the city, "Hello everyone! Hello people working desk jobs!" he shouted as he waved through the window into a office building, "Hello window washer!" he called out as he flew past a man washing windows on a platform who waved back friendly, Jason turned around towards the ground and shot a webline out.
Feels good to be web swinging again, being in a cramped airship or temple all day has nothing on this. Who needs flying? He thought a he spun tow webs and pulled them over to his side to angle himself right as he swung above some low rooftops. Spider-Man landed on the side of the Daily Marvel and crawled around the side before dropping into the alley between buildings. Stepping behind a dumpster he quickly changed into his clothes, consisting of a blue hoodie saying 'Property of RCU' on the front, he had a short sleeved red shirt underneath that peeked out from the rim of his hoodie and light brown pants and sneakers.
Walking around the front of the building he entered through the lobby and walked into the elevator, as the door began to close the young man saw someone rushing towards the elevator. Jason held open the elevator for the man to enter, "Thank you." He said gratefully with a smile as he looked down at Jason. The man had a good foot over Jason, he looked like a star Pro Bending player in terms of size, he had blonde hair and was wearing a three button suit. He looked like a mover star.
"You uhhhh….work here?" Jason asked, he didn't this guy and he never saw him in the bullpen up on the top floor.
The man chuckled, "No my dad does." he explained, "Oh sorry," he raised his hand, "Jon Jameson." He said as Jason reached for his hand and began to shake it before simply staring at the man with wide eyes and an open mouth.
"You…..Jonah is your father?" he asked miraculously. Realizing how that sounded he quickly changed his tone, "I mean-your father is a very….uhh…..he….he can be heard across the room." He said, trying to find some polite truth to tell the man. As much as he respected Jonah that didn't mean that he agreed with him all the time, mostly because he thought Spider-Man was a menace.
Jonah's step father, Stan, actually supported his escapades as Spider-Man while he ran the Marvel but when Jonah took over that got flipped on it's head really fast. Hopefully his son didn't fallow his father in that regard. Jon let out chuckle, "You need pretty thick walls to pretend you don't hear him. But he has a good heart." He said in a positive tone, "I'm sorry I didn't get your name?" he asked, realizing he hadn't let him introduce himself.
"Oh! I'm Jason Orou." He introduced himself as the doors slid open.
"OROU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Jonah's voice yelled out, making both Jason and Jon's head look up to see the publisher barging his way across the bullpen floor, nearly knocking over a few paperboys. Jason though of possibly hiding behind Jon but he dismissed the idea quickly as it came when Jonah saw him. "YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON I DON'T FIRE YO-" he stopped when he saw his son smiling at him.
A large smile filled with pride spread across his face, "Jon my boy! I didn't know you were coming here!" he said happily as he walked over and embraced his son who gladly returned the show of affection. "Orou this is my son Jon, Jon here is one of the best Pilots in the world!" he said boastfully before realizing he was speaking to Jason, "Wait. WHERE THE BLAZES HAVE YOU BEEN!?" he demanded.
"I had to say bye to a friend." Jason replied simply. Jonah gritted his teeth in frustration, "I'll get a Spider-Man story to you when-" he started.
"Forget that wall crawling freak! The story of the day is the Earth Kingdom, and unless you have some news about the Sinister Six I don't want to her it." The publisher replied as he waved the reporter off, Jason's eyes widened however.
The Six are back!? Oh perfect….wait, Kraven is in jail though and last time I checked I put Rhino in the big house before I left the city….oh great it's a new team and I got to deal with them? Perfect! The vigilante thought to himself as he rolled his eyes while Jonah put an arm around his son's shoulder and led him towards the office, "Nice meeting you Jon." He said as he waved goodbye to the pilot. Jason proceeded to make his way towards his desk, First day back to work and surprise, surprise, the Sinister Six is back together...well I better put these guys down before they do anything damaging. He thought as he sat at his desk.
Benji Urich sat across from him, he was a reporter here back before Jason started working at the paper, he wore a pair of thick rim glasses, a dress shirt, with a few ink stains on the cuffs, and a striped tie. "How was the vacation?" he asked as he typed away at his typewriter.
Jason smirked, "It was refreshing, and quiet, not stressful." He said as he searched his desk for a ink cartridge for the typewriter. "Uh, have you seen a-" he started before Benji held out an spare ink cartridge, "Thank you." He said gratefully before grabbing it, "So aside from the Sinister Six being back, anything else I need to know?" he asked.
"Rumor has it that the Kingpin and Silvermane are gearing up for war and the Triads are starting to take sides." He said, making the young hero internally curse.
I'm gone for month or two and the whole city is going to hell. Man I hope Aki's having a better first day back than I am. He thought, hoping that his fiancé was having a more pleasant homecoming.
"What the hell?" Akiko asked herself as he stepped off the trolley car that ran by her place of work. Stepping onto the sidewalk the artist looked up at the building and saw it had underwent a change. For one, instead of being a Theatre like it always had printed on the side, it was now titled 'Future Cinemas' with mover reels on the horizontal sign of the building. Walking through the front doors, she saw that the lobby had changed as well, above the entrance to the theatre there was now a list of show times for films, "What the-when did we get turned to a mover theatre?"
"About a week after you left." Akiko whirled her head around, she smiled when she was met with the sight of her co-worker and friend Mei. The seamstress was her only real friend she had here at work. The blonde hugged her longtime friend welcome, "Good to see you again Aki." She said happily before pulling away, at this the firebender noticed her friend's change of work attire to a uniform, Mei looked down at her uniform and grimaced, "Yeah I know. Horrible. I'm working the food stand." She said, gesturing to the concession booth lining the wall.
Akiko shook her head, "But what about me? I said I was going away for a month or so and even got all my work done in advance…..am I out of a job?" she asked, she had pondered the idea of getting a new job before they left but suddenly having no job whatsoever was not something she pictured.
Mei shrugged, "Well that depends, do you want to work the ticket booth or film realer ?" she asked as she folded her hands over her chest. Akiko frowned, "Look Aki, I might have an in at a theatre downtown, I'll put in a good word for you but I can't promise anything." She said, making the firebender smile.
"Thanks Mei...I guess I'll take the ticket booth then." She said in a slightly disheartened tone as her shoulders slouched. Mei put an arm around her shoulder, "Hey don't fret over it, besides it could be worse, you could be working custodian in the theater." Mei replied, leading Akiko to the employee's only door.
Jason and Akiko had planned to meet up for lunch to talk about their first day back at work. To say they were both unsettled by the changes to say the least. "You work a ticket booth now?" Jason asked as a car passed them on the street, the couple made their way through downtown towards a small cafe they liked. The resulting glare which Akiko gave him told him she was not pleased with her job. Jason quickly corrected himself, "At least you'll meet new people?" he tried.
"Nice try but it's still a crappy job." She said as they stopped at the end of the sidewalk where the traffic was still going. "How do you usually deal with having a crappy job?" she asked, a hint of mirth in her tone that made Jason smirk at her, "Well I was thinking of looking for a new job. Guess this is the final nail in the coffin…..Jonah wouldn't happen to be looking for a Gorgeous young woman for a position would he?" she asked.
Jason shook his head, "No. First off I couldn't bare you working for a hard ass like Jonah, second I know for a fact that there's something better for you. We just need to find it." He said encouragingly as his arm snaked around her waist and gently pulled her closer to him, Aki leaned her head onto is shoulder as they walked around the street corner, "Besides…..it could give us more time to plan the wedding." He added, making his fiancé smile at the word 'wedding'.
"I was thinking of asking my mom to help with my wedding dress and-oh crap my Aunt!" She said before a groan escaped her lips, Akiko had told Jason about her Aunt, she was a nice enough woman, however she also held the belief that she knew what was best for everyone. "She's like the Doc Ock of my family! She thinks she's so superior and it make me want to just rip my own ears off." She complained as she held her hands out and clenched them into fists. "She was supposed to come into town while we were gone, but after everything that happened she decided to postpone it. She's coming next month and she and my mom have been on the phone every damn day!"
Jason's hand ran up and down her back in a soothing manner, trying to calm her nerves, "Well how about instead of that, you and me stay in, order some food, and listen to that radio drama we both like?" he suggested, Akiko's lip was still frowning, Jason decided to sweeten the deal, "How about I throw in a message for good measure?" he added, making her lips pull into a small smirk. She still didn't look entirely convinced to Jason, "I'll do that one thing you like."
Akiko's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as a shy smile came over her face, "Oh you are too good to me." She said before leaning over and planting a kiss on Jason's cheek. The couple neared the Café, the Silver Spoon, across the street when Jason felt the familiar tingle of his sixth sense, Akiko felt him stiffen up, "What's wrong?" she asked as Jason turned his head to search for the source of the danger.
"Spider Sense….but I don't know where-" he began before he heard people screaming across the street as a man rust through the front doors of a bank. The man wore and black costume with silver shoulder pads that connected to a large circle on his chest, there were also silver padding on his sides and forearms. Jason couldn't help but shake his head, "There it is, the random bad guy who decides to rob a bank the second I walk past it, that's what I missed about the city." he joked as Akiko rolled her eyes. He turned to her and pointed his thumb back to the bank robber as he made his escape, "Sweeite you mind if I-" he began before something swooped right over their heads.
They looked to where whatever passed them was heading and watched as it landed in front of the robber. He wore a skintight black costume and mask with large white eyes with red fringes around them. On the mask was a red web that started from the center of the face and spread out and traveled down his neck and chest, there were thick red angles on the shoulders that went the sides of his chest that met just above the navel, it featured a large spider on the chest with a larger ovular spider on the back with red fingers with webbing around them.
"Wow I thought scorpion's costume was horrendous but yours? Puts his to shame." the new hero said to the robber.
Meanwhile, Jason and Akiko's Jaws hit the concrete with how they hung open. "Hey! No one makes fun of the Ringer!" the robber proclaimed proudly, only causing the black suited teen to snicker at the name. "Quit laughing!" he said as he flung silver rings at the youth, only for the hero to leap up onto the underside of a street lamp.
"Ok I'll stop laughing at your name and start laugh at you sucky aim with your rings…nope can't do it HAHAHA!" he laughed loudly as he pointed at the Ringer.
As the fight went on however, Jason finally regained his ability to speak, "Is….am I seeing this right?" he asked rubbed the side of his head whilst Akiko nodded, "Because I'm seeing someone else with Spider Powers in a Spider-Man costume doing what Spider-Man does….and last time I checked I was Spider-Man…right?" he asked as Akiko nodded again, a bewildered expression on her face.
"Clone….got to be a clone…..no…wait…he's shorter than you. Not a clone." she corrected as the new Spider-Man kicked Ringer in the face in midair before bringing his fist down, knocking him to the ground and webbing him up. "But that's agility, strength, and webbing." she counted off as she witnessed him take down the Ringer.
"Oh yeah! Another bad guy down! Unstoppable Spider-Man! That's me!" the new hero said before noticing something on the ground beside Ringer. It was a wallet, picking it up off the ground he looked inside and covered the mouth part of his mask, "Oh my spirits did you seriously bring a wallet with you to rob a bank? This is….I can't, I can't!" he said as he struggled to hold back his laughter before tossing the wallet onto Ringer and shooting a webline, swinging away from the scene.
Jason watched as the new hero swung away before turning to his fiancé, "Aki." he said simply, she nodded as she patted him on the back, silently urging him to go after him. The young man took off down the street, his mind racing at the possibilities that this new Spider-Man held, but first and foremost was where did he come from!?
Clone was out by his and Akiko's deduction, but it wasn't that hard to believe that someone else had gained spider powers after the whole multiverse adventure he went on. But it was still shocking to say the least. Finally finding a discreet enough alley, he shed his clothes and changed into his costume before slingshot-ing himself out of the alleyway and into the air before slinging a line and swinging in the direction he saw the other Spider-Man swing off to.
This could be like the Chameleon, he impersonated me and committed crimes in my name…..but this guy has powers. And he did thrash that bad guy, and not to mention he didn't take any of the dough. He thought as he pivoted off the corner of a building and adjusted his course, Still I should air on the side of caution with this. he decided as he finally caught sight of the new Spider-Man resting on a rooftop while he had a drink of water.
Jason silently landed on the smokestack behind him, "Man they never warn you how hot it gets under these costumes." the other spider hero said aloud as he took a drink of water.
"Oh that's nothing, I almost got fungus in mine once." Jason said, startling the other spider and making him jump. He turned around to face whomever spoke, only for his eyes to widen when he saw who it was. "So….this is kinda awkward." Jason said, "Well actually there was this one time with another me dressed as me, that was pretty weird…..yeah that was weird for both of us….me…I'm not making any sense am I?" he asked, not needing to the see the other hero's expression to know he was just confusing him more.
"I….well I did meet this clone of yous." he clarified, making Jason's eyes widen? If he met Aaron then why the hell didn't Aaron tell him? "And she did say you were-"
"SHE!? I have a girl clone!?" Jason yelled in shock.
"Whoops…..yeah. You do." the other Spider-Man said with a shrug.
Jason put his hands over his eyes, "Oh for the love of the spirits why? What did I ever do to deserve this?" he asked himself before taking a breath, "Ok, gonna save that for later. For now….what are you doing?" he asked, gesturing to the other costumed vigilante on the rooftop. "I mean….I can kind of guess how you got your powers, but why are you doing this? Why swing around Republic City and help people when other people like me or the Avengers can do it? Not the swinging part, I can do that…and Venom…and the clones, and Carnage." he joked.
The other hero seemed to think over his words for a moment before speaking, "I got my powers….first thing I did was freak out. I mean this isn't normal, clearly. But….you go out there, every day, and save people. You don't get paid to do it, you barely get gratitude, but you still do it because…I don't know why but if you can do it then why not me?" he asked.
Jason processed what this young man had told him. He sounded….just like Jason did in a way, a younger, less experienced, but just as powerful Jason. "I do this….because I could have done something to save someone I loved….but I didn't. And because of that, they're gone now….but it taught me a important lesson. With Great Power comes Great Responsibility, and so I use these powers to help." he explained in a serious tone of voice.
The other Spider-Man looked at him with his eyes wide, "That's…uh….kinda more serious than I thought it'd be."
Jason shrugged, "It is serious…..so is this, this gig I mean. People can die."
"I know." the other responded quickly, "I….I know."
He does too….and I'm not going to be able to stop him no matter how much I want. Jason thought to himself before hopping down from the chimney, "Look….I get this whole thing can turn your world upside down…..so if you want it, I'd be more than happy to help." he offered.
The other Spider-Man folded his arms over his chest skeptically, "You want to train me?" he asked.
"Well….train implies that I know exactly what I'm doing." he corrected, "I mean when I got my powers I broke a set of plates the first night I got them." he explained, "But now? Check this out." he said before firing a barrage of webshots at the chimney he was sitting on a moment ago, making the other hero's eyes widen. "I figured that one out a few months after starting this." he explained.
"Ok….but can you do this?" the other Spider-Man asked before putting his hand on the AC unit he was on, Jason watched as red sparks danced off his hand into the machine, shocking it. "I call it my Venom Blast."
Jason pointed at the AC unit, "First off, awesome name. And second, that's exactly what I'm taking about! Like imagine attaching a webline and then using that?" he asked, making the other Spider-Man's eyes widen at the idea, using his power like that had never occurred to him before. "Look, if you're interested…how about we meet up here same time next week? We can hang out, stop some bad guys, I'll even introduce you to the FF if you want."
"I'm more of an X-Man guy." the other Spidey said, making Jason pout under his mask. Why was there no love for the FF? "But….thanks…and thanks for not being mad about….this." he said before gesturing to his costume.
Jason shrugged, "Dude, you picked up the slack while I was gone? Far as I can see, that makes you earn the suit….which I got to say, dig the colors." he said before spinning a webline, "Now if you excuse me, I need to go see a lovely lady." he said.
"Wait, before you go….do I need to change my name now that your back?" he asked.
Jason shrugged, "Nah, besides there aren't many catchy spider names…and Scarlet Spider is already taken." he added before swinging away, leaving the new hero alone on the rooftop.
"…..man that's a catchy one too." the young Spider said to himself.
"Another clone?! And it's a girl!?" Akiko asked outrageously as Jason slurped his noodles. He had met her at their apartment with takeout to discuss what they had seen and Jason's conversation with the new Spider-Man. The redhead leaned her elbows on the table as she messaged her forehead, "I…I'm going to need a minute to process that…..you think she's into girls since she's you?" she asked suddenly.
Jason's eye quirked, "Um…..maybe? Look, your focusing on the clone and ignoring what I told you, this guy has spider powers. Some I don't even have." he reiterated, picking up some noodles with his chopsticks and eating them before continuing, "That means there's another spider running around that can give people powers, or at least there could be if it didn't die after biting him." he thought aloud.
Akiko dropped her utensils, "I've lost my appetite, imagining dead spiders and whatnot." she said before taking her box and walking over to the small trash can and dumping the container into it. "But what I don't get is why you're not telling this guy to quit the costume." she explained before leaning against the counter while Jason finished his food.
Standing up, he tossed his box into the trash as he approached Akiko, "Because I know full well that just because someone tells me not to something, I'm going to do it anyway. The fact he's wearing a costume shows that." he explained, Akiko chuckled at his reasoning as he wrapped his arms around her, leaning in and kissing her on the cheek and going down her neck.
"Mmmm, if I recall correctly there was a promise of a message for me? Complete with radio shows and you-" she began.
'I haven't forgotten Ms. Rupa. Simply setting the mood." he said before unwrapping one arm from her and gesturing to the living room. "Step into my office, I'll get straight to work." he jested, his fiancé rolling her eyes as she did as he told.
The night was filled with tales of suspense from the radio while Jason attended to her sore feet, fallowing that, Akiko received her wish as Jason created a web hammock for the two of them and gently rocked it back and forth soothingly, the two going out like a light….only to be awoken later when they fell onto the couch.
AN: Pichforks down people! I know that I seriously dragged ass on this chapter, some school stuff came up and I simply kind of lost interest in this story for a while. And honestly what got me back into this was Turf Wars Volume 2. Which is…well it's gay, and in the Korrasami way, not the hateful way.
Seriously someone get Asami a glass of water because that girl is THIRSTY!
But back to the matter at hand, I've been lazy, I lost interest in this story becase…..look I'm going to be honest, one of the biggest regrets I had in this entire story was adding other Marvel characters. I wanted this to be a focused tale and with the rest of the Marvel cast in here it kinda seems….daunting to work on.
But I've made it this far and I can go farther. I can make this work I know I can.
Anyway, now that the serious stuff is out of the way, let's real talk here, I got three stories I'm currently working on. This, Son of Wolverine, and Spider-Man Volume (insert volume here), now I can work with these three, but I'm gonna be real with you, I can not even begin to think of updating regularly. Usually I'll end up juggling stories between one another.
Hell while I'm writing this note I'm working on another story, so I can only ask this…..fallow this story so when I DO update you'll know right away. That is all…..and I've been Reading Black Panther….it's real good….I'm excited for the movie, and as much as I want to write YET ANOTHER CROSSOVER with BP in it, I'm restraining myself.
