NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: stick..?
"Doctor strange - You sir are a miracle!"
A pause occurs...
"Parker family together - Miracle?"
They each look at the doctor with a pensive look in their eyes
"Doctor Strange - Yes, a miracle!"
The doctor proceeds to take a look at his paperwork and proceeded to tell Ben what exactly happened.
"Doctor Strange - the blood and bullet holes on your shirt indicate a shot puncture directly into his left lung, the blood on his shirt is definitely his but we never found an entrance wound, the staff were quite shocked in fact!"
The Parker family exchange a look and Peter makes eye contact with William who gives Peter a soft wink
Peter smiles, he knew that whatever his brother fed Ben was probably what saved his life!
After a few more minutes of the doctor explaining what he could will can be seen walking through the hospital corridor looking for a vending machine when he hears something..
"Tap"
"Tap"
"Tap"
The tapping of a can echoed through the halls, something about the sound was familiar but he couldn't place it.
Will does his best to ignore the tapping and presses the button of the item he wanted from the machine.
As the item drops William reaches for the item when the tapping stopped just behind him
"Matt Murdock - small world mr ape"
He says with a smirk.
William pauses and turns around
"William - what are you doing here, we only met a couple hours ago."
A look of confusion plastered on whis face
"Matt Murdock - I'm here on a case, I did tell you I'm a lawyer right?"
He pulls out a business card when William stops him
"William - Oh I already have one from before!"
Will pulls the card from his wallet.
"Matt Murdock - oh good, I've got a lot going on and little things like this slip occasionally!"
Matt slides the card back into his breast pocket and offers a hand to William
"Clap"
William gives his hand and shakes respectfully
"Matt Murdock - so what are you doing here, are you getting those cuts checked out?"
William glances at the cuts on his arms and chuckles
"William - no I am fine, I'm here because my dad was shot and barely survived!"
William eyes flash green/yellow for a fraction of a second before returning to normal
Matt Murdock pauses at the same moment
He may not be able to see William but he FELT THAT
"Matt Murdock's thoughts - WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT, the air seemed to freeze around this guy for a moment and I felt like I was standing in front of an alpha predator!"
William returns to normal almost immediately and says with gritted teeth.
"William - they didn't even catch the guy, its infuriating!"
Matt takes a moment to think when he mentions suddenly
"Matt Murdock - Would you like to do something about it?"
William looks up and glares at Matt, and shakes his head.
I'm glaring at a blind man
William chuckles
"William - of course I want to do something about it!"
He clenches his fist until an audible clicking of bones could be heard
"William - But what can I do?"
He asks the light of fury being replaced by helplessness
Matt takes a second to think and comes to a conclusion.
"Matt Murdock - are you busy later, say around dusk."
William's eyes twitched for a moment and he felt the sudden urge to leave
"William - I'm n..not into guys and I'm a lil too young don't you think?"
Matt stands there, and somewhere the sound of wind blowing can be heard!
"Matt - I'm not talking about a date you fool, you have a potential inside you and id like to help train you to control that potential!"
Williams eyes flash with excitement momentarily!
"Matt - you have a strength deep inside you and id like to be the guy who helps you reach it!"
That did it, william couldn't help but smile!
The two are then seen leaving the hospital by staff and after catching a taxi they arrived at Matt Murdocks loft, Matt gestures for Will to sit at a stool by the bar and goes into another room.
Soon he hears.
"Matt - DO YOU HAVE A WEAPON?"
William reaches in his ear and grabs the power pole and he yells
"William - yeah I got something pretty good!"
He says with wonder as he beholds the beautiful staff
Matt walks in wearing a set of athletic gear and protective shin and arm guards as well as a helmet
"Matt - I don't have anything fancy so no claws!"
He says teasingly
William can't help but turn red for a moment before a smirk replaces his look!
He yells "William - POWER POLE EXTEND!!!"
With a sudden warbling sound the pen sized staff in Williams hand extended in every dimension until it reaches the perfect size for William to hold as a staff however it continued to extend by length and soon its smashing through the drywall in the kitchen!
"Crash!"
Both William and Matts face turn dark before William focuses and returns the staff to a manageable size
"Matt - well that's... Different? What is that thing, it feels.. odd!"
Matt touched the staff lightly clearly trying to get a sense of it.
"Matt - what is this thing William?"
William's smirk intensifies
"William - this.. this is my power pole and it's kinda sorta magical in nature from what I can tell!"
Will shows off the staff to Matt by shrinking and growing it repeatedly but soon will remembers that he is showing off to a blind man and stops.
"William - so what's the plan Mr Murdock?
Matt starts walking to the middle of the room and pulls out a couple of billy clubs and smirks.
"Matt - we are going to fight and train until you can hold your own at least!"
He charges!
William is caught off guard and barely dodges the left club by leaning to the right however the one in Matt's right hand soon can flying in from behind wills head and soon will is faceplanting in a comedic position!
"Matt - normally I would have given you warning however I think you will learn more from this!"
Will gets up with a grimace of pain on his face
"Will - ow, ow, ow... I think my face made a indentation on the wood he says while scratching his head!"
Wills eyes soon focus and he proceeds to swing the power pole at the legs of Matt, it misses but Matt managed to throw a swomift kick at the power pole however..
"William - power pole shrink!"
The pole shrinks to the point where Matt's leg just barely misses catching the man off guard!
William smirks.
"William - power pole extend!"
The staff extends suddenly hitting Matt in the shoulder and pressing him into the brick wall.
Matt grunts in pain!
He is trying to remove the staff from his shoulder when he hears
"William - power pole shrink!"
Matt thinks he is about to be released from the wall but soon that thought goes flying out the window when he senses will closing in fast!
It turns out he was using the motion of the pole shrinking to move quickly and is heading to Matt with a swift knee to the gut
Matt thinks fast he uses all the strength he can summon and smashes down the pole from his shoulder and will goes clattering to the floor.
"Will - it's too late!!"
He rolls with the momentum and throws a sudden elbow however.
Will is kicked by a sudden third party and he is sent sliding several feet before he can bring himself to stop.
"Unknown man - you know Matt it's not everyday I see you get your ass kicked by a teenager!"
Matt has a sudden dark look on his face and says
"Matt - Stick..."
