Machine Man 25

After aiding in the evacuation of employees, Alex sat in the cabin of the concealed HK Aerial, invisible to prying eyes and radar. While piloting the aircraft, he discreetly communicated with Skynet, "Keep an eye out for any alien presence, especially a black gooey substance. Deploy the bee drones for surveillance, and pay special attention to Peter. Also, control the T-1000 to impersonate me and assist with META HQ."

Skynet launched the T-1000 and deployed the bee drones, acknowledging Alex's concerns and initiating the necessary actions.

On the underside of the HK-Aerial, a tiny door creaked open, revealing a mechanical round object filled with honey shaped comb holes, the artificial intelligence controlling the Covert Operations Bee Drones and deployed them.

These mechanical marvels took the form of small, bee-shaped drones, their delicate wings slicing through the air with a subtle hum.

The Bee Drones embodied a fusion of innovation and functionality. Resembling miniature counterparts of their organic counterparts, their small size belied the sophistication within. Equipped with advanced cloaking and surveillance capabilities, these drones soared through the skies, virtually invisible to the naked eye and eluding detection by conventional radar systems.

Their primary purpose was clear – to track and observe, capturing real-time imagery with a precision that surpassed human capabilities. The tiny cameras embedded within their bee-like frames transmitted a continuous stream of data to their Queen, Skynet.

It directed their movements, scanning the surroundings, and gathering vital information. The symbiotic relationship between the queen and her mechanical minions ensured a seamless flow of data, granting Skynet an omnipresent watchful eye over the unfolding events.

Back inside the HK-Aerial, Spider-Man found himself sharing an unexpected space with the man he believed had killed his parents. Unable to contain his boiling emotion, he confronted Alex with a straightforward question: "What's going on here?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation and the potential for a volatile confrontation, Alex decided swift transparency was the best course of action. "He is not the one who murdered the Parker couple," Alex asserted, anticipating the skepticism in Spider-Man.

With a command to Skynet, a holographic video materialized in the confined space. Flint Marko, still adjusting to the technological display, gazed in surprise at the unfolding scenes. The enhanced recording depicted the tragic events involving the Peter's Parents.

In the holographic video, the grainy footage began with a dark alley where the Peter's parents sought refuge. Rain poured down, reflecting the dim glow of distant streetlights. The atmosphere was tense, filled with the palpable fear of the hunted.

The couple, disheveled and desperate, hastily clambered atop a parked car as shadows of their pursuers closed in. Thunder rumbled overhead, echoing the impending doom. The camera, though slightly shaky, managed to capture the raw emotion etched on the faces of the doomed couple.

As the assailants, clad in ominous suits, emerged from the shadows, their faces hidden beneath the brims of dark hats, the scene took a sinister turn. The couple, cornered and defenseless, exchanged desperate glances, their silent communication revealing a depth of love and fear.

Without warning, the crack of gunfire shattered the uneasy silence. The Parker couple convulsed in agony as bullets tore through their bodies, casting them into the unforgiving darkness of the alley. The rain, now mixed with the blood of the fallen, created a haunting tableau of tragedy.

The suited figures approached methodically, their movements calculated and devoid of remorse. They searched the lifeless bodies, ransacking pockets and belongings with cold efficiency, as if hunting for something specific. The flickering alley lights cast ominous shadows on the grim tableau, emphasizing the ruthlessness of the unseen assailants.

In the last moments of the recording, the assailants, having seemingly found nothing but a loose end, melted back into the shadows, leaving behind the lifeless forms of the Richard and Mary Parker. On the Next scene you can see a young Flint Marko running away from someone while holding a gun who have stumbled upon the dead bodies of the couple. The video, frozen at that haunting juncture, served as a testament to a hidden truth, unveiling a narrative far more complex than Peter had initially believed.

Peter, shock etched across his face, couldn't comprehend the revelation. Stuttering, he asked, "How did you get this footage?"

Alex, maintaining his composure, responded, "I was trying to figure out about my parent's death, because I know they shouldn't be on that building or they can't be on that building.

In my search for the truth about my parents' death, Skynet scoured the vast landscape of America's digital records. During this investigation, we stumbled upon an unexpected witness, an old man by the name of Tomas Lurkey, no relative and is living on a retirement home. He happened to capture this on videotape without even realizing it.

Skynet found Tom, he was in a state of confusion, muttering about what he saw on the video recording he found on his car. He found himself haunted by what he saw, as he was having an episode, the A-T Phone pick this up, Skynet silently and efficiently captured everything. The guilt the mortification he muttered it all.

He was gripped by fear. He wanted to come forward but got scared. He even tried to delete or destroy the footage, but his own consciousness is preventing him from erasing the evidence.

So, I secured the video tape and even have the old Man ready to stand for trial to prove Marco's innocence.

The air in the HK-Aerial hung heavy with the weight of revelations. Peter Parker and Flint Marko sat together, the two seemingly processing the shocking truth about the Parker couple's death.

Alex leaned forward, eyes focused on Peter, "You see, Spiderman, my Parents death wasn't just an accident. My parents were targeted, captured, and left to die. Deliberately."

Peter, wide-eyed, stammered, "What? But why?"

Alex continued, "They were working on the same super soldier serum that Norman Osborn have, they were successful, they develop a serum without possible adverse effect of making someone insane. Before they were caught, they destroyed their research to keep it from falling into the wrong hands."

Flint, absorbing the gravity of the situation, added, "Guess those wrong hands were pretty persistent."

Peter, grappling with the new reality, asked, "So, who are these people? Why were my parents involved in this?"

Alex sighed, "That's what I've been trying to find out. This organization is good at covering its tracks." Alex knowing its highly likely done by HYDRA kept it to himself since he knows if Peter finds out that HYDRA still exist, all hell might break loose.

As the HK-Aerial soared through the unseen skies, Flint shock that Spider-man use to be the kid whose parents murder got blamed on him, but he did his best not to let it out as he saw the two grieving. The trio sat in contemplative silence, united by a shared quest for answers in the face of a shadowy adversary.

The online platform YouTube made by the Facebook founders, was buzzing with activity as videos capturing the chaos in downtown New York went viral. Multiple angles captured the unfolding events, showcasing the heroics of both Spiderman and the Specter.

In one video, Spiderman swung into action with remarkable agility, creating intricate webs to form a massive net in the sky. The net worked tirelessly, intercepting falling debris and preventing it from reaching the ground. Spectators online marveled at the coordination and skill displayed by the iconic superhero.

Another video depicted the arrival of the HK-Aerial, an advanced aircraft that appeared in an incredible speed. As the hatch opened, Specter emerged, a figure cloaked in blue light, ready to confront the imminent danger.

With a dramatic display of power, Specter swiftly moved towards the unstable crane. The web-slinger, Spiderman and Specter worked in tandem to save everyone. The web, though effective, struggled to contain the sheer volume of debris.

Just as it seemed the situation might escalate, a mysterious cloud of sand materialized in the air. The tiny particles worked as a cohesive force, interweaving to form a barrier that complemented Spiderman's efforts. The sand, seemingly controlled by an unseen force, created a secondary defense against the falling debris.

Online viewers shared and commented on the astounding display of teamwork between Spiderman, Specter and unknown new Hero, emerged to save the day.

In Nick Fury's Office - S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters.

Nick Fury, the enigmatic director of S.H.I.E.L.D, leaned back in his chair, eyeing the screens displaying videos from the recent events in New York. Agents gathered around as Fury gruffly initiated the conversation.

"What the hell happened in New York? I want answers, people," Fury demanded.

Agent Hill presented a tablet, updating the director on the situation. "Sir, Spiderman and Specter were on the scene. They managed to prevent a disaster. Specter's gear seems to have been upgraded again."

"Well, we initially suspected Gwen as Specter, but she got saved by Specter, but it could also just be a front," Coulson reported.

"So, you think it's either Peter or Alex?" Fury questioned.

"Alex has a low chance of being Specter, he's an amputee. Although, Peter seems to fit the profile best. He might just be putting on a front, acting meek in public as a cover up. We will keep an eye out just to be sure," Coulson suggested.

Fury, nodding, acknowledged the known heroes on the scene. "That is good and all, but that's not what's bugging me". pointing at the screen." Who's the sand manipulator?"

Agent Hill, studying the footage, chimed in. "I, saw the videos. Sand controlling? Definitely someone new."

Fury, leaning back, issued a direct order. "Get all available intel. I want to know who this sand manipulator is. Check databases, contacts – everything".

Agent Coulson, analyzing the videos, suggested a possible origin. "Could be a metahuman. We've been seeing stranger things since this vigilante started popping up."

Fury, leaning forward again, emphasized the urgency. "I don't care if they're from another dimension. Find out. Reach out to our allies; we can't have another loose cannon on our hands."

Agent Coulson, monitoring communications, assured the director. "Already on it, Director. We're tapping into every resource."

Fury, leaning back, eyed the screens as the agents scattered, returning to their stations. "Someone who can control sand – that's a wild card. Let me know the moment you dig up anything concrete."

The agents engaged in conversation, discussing strategies and potential implications, as Nick Fury remained in his office, contemplating the mystery of the sandy hero that had emerged in the city adding, a new head ache to things he can't control.
