Chapter VI: Speed Of Light

October 2 2020

Two Days have passed since the hangout at Gionna's house and since then Desmond couldn't stop thinking about her. Ever since he met her, She always brightens up his day with laughter and more. Desmond knew he was in love with her but he was worried that she might not have the same feelings as him.

Rosie and Otto are back on good terms after the lab incident and would stop working on the tritum project since it was too dangerous and if it falls into the wrong hands, They can use it as a weapon.

Desmond was at his room working on some notes on his notebook while he was on the wall.

For the last two days, Desmond has been having thoughts about making web shooters for himself since he is starting to act like a spider along with Desmond watching old videos of Spider Man fighting his enemies in the past. Desmond finished writing down his notes as he was looking at it.

Desmond continued looking at the web shooters design until he heard a knock on his door as he jump back down and opened the door to see Otto.

Otto: Hey Kid, Me and Rosie are going outside to get some materials for the prosthetics. Do you need anything on the way home?

Desmond: No, I dont need anything.

Otto: Alright Kid, Well Guard the house until we get back.

Desmond: Will do and also be careful, The Underground is causing a lot of trouble around here.

Otto: Dont worry Kid. See you soon.

Rosie was standing by the main door as she gave a smile to Desmond before both Otto and Rosie left the house as Desmond grabbed his notebook and sat on the couch as he was working on the web fluid for the shooters.

Ten Minutes Later, Desmond was done writing down the notes needed to make the web fluid as he was looking at it.

Desmond: Hmmm I think I have all the materials needed to make the shooters. I just need to be quick though.

Desmond got up from the couch as he began grabbing the materials needed to make the web shooters. Once he had all the components, Desmond went back to his room and started crafting the shooters.

Desmond was already done making the web fluid as he began piecing together the shooters. Desmond was also being careful with the components as he was placing it on his watch.

Desmond was done making the shooter as he activated it but....

Desmond: Dammit.

Ketch removed the webs from his face as he was annoyed. He continued fixing the web shooters as he activated it but it was another failure.

Desmond once again fixed the web shooter as he was standing a little back as he activated it and then.....

Desmond smiled to himself as the shooters were successful.

Desmond: Okay, All I need to do is make a few more adjustments and we're done.

Desmond continued to make a few adjustments as he placed the shooters on both of his wrists. Desmond Phone began ringing as he grabbed his phone using the web shooter and looked at the Caller ID.

Gionna❤

(Come On Romeo, Answer The Phone)

Desmond answered the phone as he heard Gionna talking to someone until she spoke to Desmond.

Gionna: Hey Ketch!!!

Desmond: Hey Liv, How are you?

Gionna: I'm good, I just finished doing my latest photoshoot and I'm exhausted.

Desmond: Oh, Do you want me to pick you up?

Gionna: *Giggles* Dont worry, Maria and Michelle are picking me up right now.

Desmond: Oh Okay Then.

Gionna: So What are you doing?

( Tell her, That You Were Done Creating Your Web Shooters)

Desmond: Nothing, I'm just watching some TV right now.

Gionna: What's on TV right now?

Desmond: Titanic, Rosie likes that movie.

Gionna: I mean it's a pretty cool movie and I like it.

Desmond smiled to himself to Gionna was talking about more about her day.

Gionna: Oh, I made it back home. I'm gonna take a nap and call you back soon. Take care Ketch.

Desmond: You too Love.

(What did I just say? Oh God, Hope Gionna didn't find me weird saying that)

Desmond disconnected the phone call as he was holding his head in embarrassment until he heard the front door opening as he got up and saw Rosie and Otto holding some bags.

Desmond: I'll help you guys.

He grabbed some of the bags and placed it on the table as he sighed to himself.

Otto: *Sighs* What a pain.

Desmond: What's the matter?

Rosie: We just met some members of The Underground.

Desmond: Wait what? What did they do?

Otto: Nothing, They only threaten us and promised to expose the truth about Roxxon and Rio.

Desmond: I don't find them scary. They're just a bunch of kids acting like rebels.

Rosie: But You haven't seen their tech at all. They're pretty scary and I thought we were gonna die.

Otto: I just wish this mess ends. Why do people always use Violence as a weapon? It does nothing at all.

Desmond was silent as Otto sat down on the chair as he drank some water.

Otto: Let's just move on from that. Say Desmond, What's going on between You and Gionna?

Desmond: Okay.....I'll be honest with you. I think I'm in love with her.

Rosie: I knew it. *Laughs*

Otto: *Smiles* How long do you know her?

Desmond: For a couple of days now.

Rosie: What do you like about her?

Desmond: Her bubbly personality and her kindness to others. She always wants someone to smile and live happily no matter the pain they're going through right now.

Otto: Desmond, If you really love her then you need to tell her how you feel.

Desmond: I'm scared that maybe she'll reject me.

Rosie: Nonsense Ketch, I'm sure she also loves you too.

Desmond: I dont know honestly.

Otto: Let me tell you something Kid. Love should never be a secret, If you keep something complicated as love stored up inside, It can make you sick.

Desmond: Hmmmm.

Otto: Besides If you ever want a women to fall for you, Feed her poetry.

Desmond: Poetry?

Rosie: Its gonna work perfectly honey.

Desmond: Alright then.

Ketch had a smile on his face as Rosie and Otto smiled at him as they all shared a hug and began working on the prosthetics.

It was Eight Thirty One P.M, Desmond was walking through the streets as he saw a Advertisement on the wall as he read it.

WANT TO BE FAMOUS AND BE WELL KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD?

JOIN YOU WANNA BE A WRESTLER AND WIN OVER 3000 DOLLARS.

(Perfect Opportunity to get some Money Desmond, If you need to fund those projects then this is perfect)

Desmond looked at the poster and looked at the location as he began to make his way through.

He finally made it to the wrestling stadium as he was walking around backstage and saw a match on TV. It showed a wrestler name Crusher beating up another wrestler and throwing him to the announcer table as Desmomd gulped.

Desmond: Okay, Maybe This is a bad idea.

(But Do It For Rosie and Otto)

Just then someone walked behind Desmond as he turned around and saw...

Unknown: Get moving Kid, Its your turn to fight Crusher.

Desmond: Uhhh.....I dont even have a costume.

Unknown: Ah Come on. Go grab a spare costume at the locker room. Be quick, I dont want the audience to wait for you.

The Man left as Desmond went to the locker room and found a outfit that fits him as he wore it and made his way to the ramp as he saw the man.

Unknown: What's your ring name Kid?

Desmond: Ummm, You can call me The Spider.

Unknown: Boring but okay.

Crusher grabbed another wrestler and broke his back as the audience was chanting his name as he grabbed the microphone.

Crusher: Tell me! Who really has the guts to get in this ring and beat me?

The Ring Announcer was standing by the ramp.

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Introducing the Challenger, The Spider.

Crusher was smiling at the Announcer as he saw Desmond wearing his wrestling attire.

Crusher was laughing at him as the audience was booing Desmond and even threw popcorn at him as he saw Crushers girls taunting him.

Desmond entered the ring as He saw a steel cage being lowered. Desmond was shocked as he heard the announcer saying something.

Announcer: Please lock the cage and begin the match.

Desmond: Wait, I didn't sign up for a cage match.

The Cage was locked as Desmond was telling them to open the cage as Crusher grabbed a crowbar from behind as Desmond's spider sense went off.

Crusher tried to attack him from behind But Desmond dodged the attack.

Crusher: What the? Stay right there kid.

Desmond was staring at him as Crusher was taunting him.

Crusher: Dont try to act like Spider-Man. Your not like him Kid, Your only dead meat.

Crusher tried to hit Desmond again until Desmond managed to hit a....

Crusher was angry as he hit a clothesline on Desmond as he grabbed a steel chair and began bashing it on his back.

Desmond was in pain as Crusher gave a roar to the crowd as he was gonna hit him again before Desmond kicked him in the gut as he got up and fired multiple webs at him.

Crusher was trying to break free from the webs as Desmond hit a...

Crusher managed to break free and got up as Desmond was looking at him. Crusher began throwing multiple punches but Ketch dodged all the attacks as he was shocked.

Crusher: Stand Still You Wannabe!!!

He tried to hit another clothesline on Desmond but he ducked under it and hit a...

Crusher was stunned as Desmond continued hitting multiple punches at him as he hit a drop kick on him.

Crusher was stunned as Desmond followed up with a...

Crusher was holding his leg as he tried to fight back but Desmond took him out with a...

Desmond stood back as Crusher managed to get up as he was dizzy until he finished him off with a...

The Bell rang as The Crowd was cheering for Desmond as he was shocked. He saw the smiles on everyone's face as he saw some medics helping Crusher on a stretcher.

Desmond made it to the owner's office as he gave Ketch the money but there was a problem.

Desmond: Only Fifty Dollars?

Owner: Yeah, Get lost Kid.

Desmond: The Advertisement said Three Thousand Dollars.

Owner: Get moving, I'm a busy man.

Desmond wanted to argue with him but security pushed him out of the office as he was angry.

Desmond was walking back to the elevator until he heard the owner screaming as he turned around saw a gang beating up the owner.

He immediately recognized the gang, It was the Underground. The Underground continued beating up the owner until one of their teammates grabbed the money. The Underground made their escape by jumping through the window.

Desmond saw the owner was unconscious as everyone was checking on him but he just walked away as he was texting Rosie and Otto.
