Chapter 12: Going To D.C

(Two days later)

Y/N's P.O.V

I'm now back at school and I'm in shop class.

I've brought the alien tech here to get it out of the casing to get a better look at what's inside.

I hit it with a hammer a few times to break it down.

Y/N: Ah, damn.

Just then Ben comes over.

Ben: Hey, man. What's going on?

Y/N: Take a look at this.

His eyes widen.

Ben: Whoa. What is that?

Y/N: No idea. Some guy tried to vaporise me with it though.

Ben: So cool.

I look at him.

Ben: I mean, not cool. Really not cool. Totally uncool of him.

Y/N: Well, I think it's... a power source.

Ben: Yeah, but it's connected to all these microprocessors. That's an inductive charging plate. That's what I use to charge my toothbrush.

Y/N: I guess whoever's makin' these weapons must be combining alien tech with ours.

Ben: Dude, that is the coolest thing anyone has ever said. I just want to thank you for letting me be apart of your journey into this amazing...

I hit it with the hammer and the power sorce flies out.

We look over to our teacher and he doesn't even look up.

Teacher: Keep your fingers clear of the blades.

After that I grab the power source and put it on the table.

Y/N: We gotta figure out what this thing is and who makes it.

Ben: Alright. We'll go to the lab after class and run tests.

Y/N: Let's do it.

He and I do our handshake before leaving the classroom.

We walk down the hall and turn the corner.

Ben: First, I say we put the glowy thing in the mass spectrometer.

Y/N: I also think we need to come up with a better name for it than "glowy thing."

Ben: Good point.

Just then we see two guys turn appear infront of us.

And one of them is apart of the crew that I'm after.

Y/N: Ah, crap.

I jump behind the wall and Ben follows me.

Ben: What is it?

Y/N: That's one of the guys that tried to kill me.

Ben: Shit. Dude, we gotta get out of here.

Y/N: No, no. I gotta follow them. They might be able to lead me to the guy with wings.

I look around and see them go into the classroom.

I slowly follow them.

Ben: Y/N...

Y/N: Stay there, Ben.

I follow them into the classroom as they scan the room.

I quickly crawl under the workbench.

A moment later they go to leave, so I use my web shooter to attach a tracker to one of them.

Now, I can follow them right to their leader.

(Five hours later)

Ben and I are now back at my house in my bedroom.

I hand Ben my web shooter and a map appears to track the tracker.

Ben: This is so awesome.

Y/N: I know, right? They're in Brooklyn.

Just then dad opens the door and comes in.

Henry: Hey, boys. What's going on?

Y/N: We're tracking a member of that crew I told you about.

Dad sighs.

Henry: Y/N, are you sure that's a good idea. Their leader with the wings dropped you in a lake. You almost drowned.

Y/N: But, I didn't. He caught me off guard the first time. I wasn't expecting it. This time I'm ready for him.

He nods.

Henry: Okay. I know you can handle stuff like this. I just worry.

Y/N: Dad, you don't need to. I promise. Besides, don't you have a date tonight. Go get ready.

He smiles.

Henry: Yes, I do. Good luck, boys.

Y/N: Thanks, dad.

He then leaves the room.

After that Ben and I keep tracking the bad guys.

(Three hours later)

We've been tracking them for a few hours.

Just then I hear a beeping.

I repel down from the ceiling as Ben sits up wearing my mask.

Ben: They stopped.

I look at the map.

Y/N: Maryland?

Ben: What's there?

Y/N: Don't know. Evil lair.

Ben: Really?

Y/N: Bro, a gang with alien guns run by a guy with wings? Yeah, they have a lair.

Ben: Badass. But it's three hundred miles away, how are you gonna get there?

I look over to see a poster of the Washington Monument on my wall.

We're going on a school trip to Washington tomorrow.

Y/N: Hmm. Well, it's not that far from D.C.

He looks at the poster, then back to me.

Ben: Ah, good idea.

After that he and I go to bed to get some rest.

(The next day)

(Washington D.C)

My class and I are now in Washington.

Ben and I are now made in the hotel room.

I'm getting ready to go after the bad guys.

Ben: So, you all set?

Y/N: Yep. I got my suit, my web shooters and extra web cartridges.

Ben: Okay.

I put on my clothes over my suit before zipping up my hoodie.

Y/N: You still got Mr. Stark's number?

Ben: Yeah, got it.

Y/N: Okay. If you don't hear from me by midday tomorrow, it means I'm in trouble. Call Mr. Stark and get his help.

He sighs.

Ben: You got it.

I put my hood up and go to the door.

I look back to Ben.

Y/N: And hold onto the glowy thing. It's evidence.

Ben: Right. Good luck, bro.

Y/N: Thanks, man.

I leave the room and close the door.

???: Hey, Y/N.

I jump and turn to see Mia and Tory there.

Mia: Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

Tory: Hey, Y/N.

Y/N: Hi and it's okay. What are you doing out here?

Tory: Just heading back to my room.

Mia: What about you?

Y/N: Oh, I can't sleep so I'm gonna take walk. Get some fresh air.

Mia: Cool. Do you want me to come with you?

Tory quickly steps forward.

Tory: Or I could... I mean both of us could.

Y/N: Thanks, girls, but I'm okay. I just need to be alone right now.

Mia: Okay, we understand. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Y/N: Yeah, see ya.

She kisses me on the cheek before leaving.

I see Tory look down like she's disappointed.

Y/N: You okay, Tory?

She sighs.

Tory: Yeah, I'm okay. Gotta go. Bye.

I watch Tory walk off.

After that I jump up onto the roof to change into my suit.
