A week later:
I groaned, "I freaking hate Mondays."
"Oh, they aren't so bad," MJ smiled as she placed a stack of waffles before me and winked, "after all, Mondays are waffle days."
I grinned, "hell yeah!"
"Language," Peter warned looking up from his newspaper.
I rolled my eyes, "hey, it's not my fault I fight super villains that curse like sailors? I'm an impressionable young man you know?"
Peter smirked, "I'm sure."
Just then May walked downstairs, grumbling as she sat down, "I hate Mondays."
MJ chuckled, "like father like daughter!"
May didn't bother asking what she meant, she just grabbed a plate and began to eat, "I have three tests today! Three! Argh! This is impossible!"
I shrugged, "you just need to know how to revise May, if you want I can help you out."
"Hell no!-"
"-Language-"
"-I don't need more studies! I need some action to distract me! Is it too much for me to ask for some bad guy to come and try and take over the city?!"
Just then my tablet began to ring out loud. I took it out and Sexy's voice spoke up, "Peter, I just got an SOS alert from 177A Bleecker Street on the Avenger's line."
"Yes!" May cheered, "wishes are real!"
I raised an eyebrow, "what's the message about?"
"The message asks for anyone's help, something about extra-dimensional threats."
I raised an eyebrow at that, "sounds like something we should check out," I turned to Peter, "177A Bleecker Street, sound familiar?"
He nodded solemnly, "yes, that is the address of doctor Stephen strange, former Sorcerer Supreme."
My eyes went wide, "holy shit," I can't believe I didn't recognize sooner! Damn it!
"Language!"
"Oh come on!"
Half an hour later:
I swung into Manhattan making my way towards Strange's place with May right behind me. We spotted the creepy looking house almost immediately and knew instantly this is where we were needed.
I swung onto the roof and landed safely, May right behind me. I looked around and found a sky light, "right, do you know anything about this guy?"
May shrugged as she I approached the sky light and looked inside, finding nothing but darkness staring back at us, "not really. I know he used to be a Defender and some kind of magician. I think he was also an Avenger."
I nodded, "makes sense how he would have access to the emergency broadcast lines," I found a padlock and held up my hand, causing my stingers to pop out with a skint. I winced in pain, the newly implanted metal coating stun.
I sighed, "I hate doing that."
"I've been meaning to ask. How do you have claws?" May asked, "can my dad do that?...Can I?"
"No, it's something unique only to me," I told her as I swung at the lock, slicing it open. I picked up the night light as we both slipped down inside, landing with a soft pat, the room covered with shadows.
"I can't see shit," May hissed.
"Luckily for you I have night vision," I tapped my helmet activating night vision allowing me to see into the darkness. Only to have something stare back at me, "holy shit-"
"HEEE!" a piercing roar came out as the shadows around us came alive, creating a giant head with rows of sharp of teeth. It lunged at us, I jumped away, but shouldn't have bothered since it didn't even come close to striking distance.
"What is that thing?!" May cried out as she jumped away from the shadow, jumping onto the wall before leaping to the ceiling.
"STOOOOP!" it cried out.
"I think it's not friendly!" I called out sending out a blast of bioelectricity from my hand, hitting the thing in the head.
"KRA!" it cried out as a chunk of it's skull was sent flying off. It began to scream before suddenly melting away into the walls of the room, letting the light from the skylight bath the room.
I looked at my hand, "huh, wasn't expecting that," I replied as May and I jumped down and walked to the center of the room.
"What did you do to it?" May asked.
I shrugged, "I don't know. I was just a bio-electrical blast, it's strong enough to stun a horse, but...not that."
"Forget about that! Come help me!" came an old man's voice from behind us.
May and I turned to see an old man tied up to a chiar, his head hanging down. He slowly looked up at us, his face covered with age lines, his hair long enough to reach his shoulder and a beard that looked like it would give Dumbledore a run for his money.
The man wore all black, a cloak and robes that shimmered in the darkness, he had a medallion on his chest and a pair of orange gloves. I blinked, "ah, are you Stephen Strange?"
"Of course I am! Who else do you think it was?!," the old man snapped with a growl, "now get here and untie me at once!"
"Ah, sure," May said as she walked up to the man and untied the man, "what was that thing?" May asked suppressing a shiver.
"It's name is Kylokeous the Great, girl," Strange spat, "a great being from the Shadow dimension, you best show it some respect!"
"Okay..." May trialed off, "magic, that's...new."
I shrugged, "trust me, you just kind of accept these things. You'll get used to it."
