A Spider in Gotham

@birdouttahell

Ben hated going to Gotham City. The crime, the gunk, and the general unpleasantness of it was infectious. He had come here several times when he was on the road, but he always felt like he had to leave before he was stuck there, allowing Gotham to eat away at him and drive him mad.

But unfortunately for the Scarlet Spider, he was in Gotham now, with no way of easily returning to New York City. 

A fight with the Rhino had left Ben unconscious in the back of a truck, a one way ticket to the home of the one known as Batman. Especially unfortunate for the wallcrawler because he didn’t happen to have his wallet on him and even then, he wasn’t the richest hero on the block. 

He was going to have to settle down in Gotham for a bit, earn some money, so he could get himself home. But for now, as he peers out at the city, it’s red skies looking ominous as he cracks his knuckles, he fires off a webline and decides to get a look around.

In the skies of New York City, the Scarlet Spider is on patrol, swinging along.

Suddenly whizzing by him, he spots an individual he doesn’t recognize on the skyline.

“Hey! I know this is New York, but I figured we would follow the rules of the road in the air!”

A Spider in Gotham Part II

@birdouttahell

It irked Ben to no end. He hated having to pose as Peter to get out of Gotham, but he had called and asked for Pete’s blessing. Unlike Ben Reilly, Peter Parker had an actual identity and papers. So even though he shared Peter’s college education and scientific genius, he wasn’t able to actually use it on his own. 

So for now, he was Mr. Parker, substitute science teacher at Gotham Academy which luckily had an opening because the previous science teacher was away on sick leave. (Knowing Gotham, there could be all sorts of things that happened and Ben wouldn’t like to find out.)

Walking into the classroom, he looked at the young adults who filled the room.

“Hi there. I’m Mr. Parker.” he says, the words cutting him to the bone. He wasn’t Peter Parker. The years apart from Peter made him a different man. 

“And I’m here to teach you about Chemistry.”

In his home town of New York, Ben perches on a building. He hear’s another person also land on the building, but without his Spider-Sense flaring, he knows it isn’t a threat. Yet.

He turns around to say hello.

“Nice night ain’t it?”

Cats and Spiders

@purrsandwhips

Ben was out on patrol. After all, a super hero’s work was never done. He noticed a shadow in the darkness, by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Getting in closely, he peeked in through a window. It seemed to be a young woman, clad in a tight outfit, breaking in on the other side.

No alarm went off. She was good. Was it perhaps Felicia? Ben waited. After all, he didn’t wanna go inside himself and get blamed for robbery. He had to wait for her to get outside where he’d confront her. After all, with the Parker Luck, he’d be plastered all over the papers as an art thief the next day. No. He’d let her go to work. No need to possibly destroy millions of dollars of fine art just to catch one thief.

“Welcome to the Daily Grind.” the young blonde server says he holds his notebook aloft to take the woman’s order. 

“Can I take your order?”

“You know, I didn’t believe when I heard the police radio saying there was a sparkly woman jumping across buildings, but here we are.”

Laundry Day

@hellequinnofgotham

Being sent at high speeds through a window, the Scarlet Spider lands in a bloody mess on the floor. his costume specked.

He gurgles in pain as he struggles to get up.

“I gotta say, I like the look. Blue hoods are the coolest.”

“Please oh please don’t be a bad guy.” Ben pleads with the women in front of him. “I notice you’re glowing, and more than likely, us fighting would be adverse to my health. And honestly, being alive isn’t so bad. At least compared to being vaporized.”

Battle of the Blondes

@chosexearth

High above the streets, swinging through the spiring buildings of the Big Apple, the Scarlet Spider is making his way through town.

Webline after webline is fired off as he makes his way through the city.

Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, asked Ben to show a reporter visiting the Daily Bugle from National City around. Given that Peter was busy with his wife Mary Jane, Ben begrudgingly accepted. 

But of course, Parkers, even cloned ones, are always late. So here he was, trying to get to her as he swung through the city.
