Dragons, Superheroes and a Tear in Time

Chapter 6: This is why we don't go to weird things, this is why we WAIT! (Peter)

Previously:
While patrolling around Queens and New York, it begins to storm. Badly. It doesn't deter Peter from patrolling, however, which is convenient because just as he's by Central Park an odd shape falls from lightning. Two odd shapes to be specific.

Now: (Peter's POV)

"Kid? What's going on?" Mr Stark's voice rings through as I move towards the rapidly falling shape. Its falling so fast towards the ground, uncontrollably. I have to do something!

"Kid? Answer me, what's happening? I'm on my way, two minutes out!" Mr Stark calls again through the intercom just as I swing forward and shoot a web under the falling shapes like a net. I know it's not much. It may not even slow the descent, but there's not much else I can do.

"Holy crap I-it's like that really really old movie, True lies, mr Stark!" I exclaim frantically, watching the shape slam down into the webbing. May used to watch it all the time.

"What are you talking about?"

"Like, when that guy falls out of the sky! E-except its like they fell out of lightning, mr Stark! And I don't know what it actually was, it's way too big to be a man but I thought I saw a shape come out of the blob before it went back in!" I ramble, running up to the netting.

"Wai-What?! You're telling me something fell out of nowhere?!"

"Yeah, it's darker than my soul!"

"Out of the sky?!"

"It's crazy, Mr Stark. I need to go see what it is and if it's ok! I tried to use my webs but I don't know if I was quick enough because it's kinda dark and-"

"NO, Kid! Stay. There. Stay put. I'm a minute out." He tells me, stern and loud. "Just wait, we don't know what it is and if it's dangerous."

"Karen, can you tell what it is?" I ask, definitely not staying put. I'm a few meters away now, it's still raining but the constant thunder seems to be easing. There's no people around, which is good.

"My senses are unable to identify the shape as it is foreign. I strongly suggest staying back and waiting for back up."

"Oh. Yeah. Totally," I respond, walking closer.

"Kid you better stay back." Mr Stark exclaims loudly. "Don't make me take your suit away." Yeah, cause we know how well that worked out last time.

"I'm-I'm definitely not going near the weird thing, don't worry!" I straight up lie as I walk right up to the web-net, which rests at my eye level. It's curled up around the edges like a cocoon, so I grab the edge and peel it back carefully.

"Peter Benjamin Parker." Oh. Full name. Yikes.

I ignore Mr Stark as I peer over at the dark mess. I squint, making out the shape moving which tells me it's alive, or working. Depending on what it actually is. Tilting my head I try to see what it is, some kind of machine maybe? That idea goes out the window when I see black, shiny scales.

"Whoa," I mutter, wide eyed. This is a creature. The next thing I know my Spidey senses blares and I jump back, just in time for the creature to spring up. I catch a glimpse of piercing green eyes and sharp teeth. It growls loudly, which has my ears ring. Holy crap.

"Whoa!" I exclaim, feeling my heart beating rapidly as I scramble back and get into a defensive position. Not a second later, I hear the familiar whirl of thrusters and look over to see Mr Stark land behind me.

"See this is why we wait before we approach the weird things without back up!" He says to me like I'm four, except he's nearly yelling. He steps past me to look at the creature-which has not calmed down. I watch as Mr Stark raises a repulsor and points it at the creature defensively.
