Jihn’s Happy Land

"Here's your order, Des," you handed her a pumpkin spice latte, with a shot of vanilla.

"Thanks, hun,"

The jobs you've applied last week, responded with great results. Seems like they're willing to hire you immediately. That doesn't mean you'd quit this job, though. You're pretty attached to it.

"What can I say? I'm irresistible," Jihn snickered, "we'll finally get some good fucking pay."

Newt chimed in, "I wanna have lots of pancakes!"

"Sure, suree."

You already talked to Shirley about changing your shift so you can adjust to your new job, "we should celebrate, Anthony!" obviously, Ben overheard my conversation with Shirley.

"Well... my place fucking sucks so.." you'd rather die than invite someone to your personal dumpster.

Even cleaning it daily won't cut it.

Ben chuckled, "why not my place?" uhm... "I'll invite Des, Jess, and Devon."

You actually forgot Devon existed. He's the son of the owner, Shirley. Both of you never interacted that much, just a few a words of greeting.

"Alright, beers on me," you smiled.

Ben didn't ask why you didn't even invite anyone else, "wait.. do you have a number?"

Crap. Since you're all alone, you haven't even thought about buying a phone.

"I'll buy a phone later, just give me your number,"

"Sure, it's +1312XXXXXXX," he gleefully replied, "if you need help, I'll write it down."

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks for the thought, kid."

Ben grunted, "again, same age."

You chuckled and just went on to your duties. Latte, espresso, frappe, macchiato, tea... the list goes on.

After your shift ended, you planned on visiting Granny Mary. You walked towards the nearest convenience store to buy some food as a gesture for inviting you.

There's still 6 hours before the celebratory party so there's no rush.

SCREECH—

The screeching sound woke you up from your thoughts. A big black van went past to you and quickly opened its door, snatching a woman on the road.

What the... isn't that Des?!

"Ah fuck," you immediately hailed a cab and followed the suspicious van, "uhm.. mister can I borrow your phone for a bit. It's an emergency."

Jihn laughed, "what now? We're suddenly superheroes?! Hahaha!"

"Yay! Yay! I'll fucking toast them to death!" this cute lizard has some vicious vocabulary, damn.

The driver sighed and finally gave you its phone. You dialed Ben's number, "hello? Who's this?"

"Ben—"

"Oh wow! You already got a pho—"

"Ben!" you sighed, "Des had been kidnapped and I'm following them right now. Call the cops when I tell you the exact location," in reality, you're calling for the Scarlet Spider. Heh.

If Ben ever found out about your powers, well, you don't really care.

Ben was stunned, "wait! That's fucking dangerous! Where are you right now?!"

You peeked at the window, "I'm on uh.. 115th Street & King Drive."

"Immediately call me when you get there.. don't do anything stupid, Anthony."

You closed the phone and chuckled. Why so serious?

The van started to slow down and made a left turn, you made the cab stop to not garner any suspicion from the kidnappers.

You tried calling Ben but he seems busy... so it went to voicemail. He's probably swinging his web right now.

"Thank you, here's the fee and your phone."

The diver then said, "be careful, kid," and drove off.

"Let's go, Newt."

The lizard removed its invisibility, "you don't even have a weapon!"

Jihn chuckled, "who said we need one?"

You walked towards the street they hopped off to, spotting a burly man at the entrance of a 3-storey building, "bingo!"

Acting a like a passerby, you walked like it's none of your business, "hey! this place is of—"

You immediately jabbed his throat and pulled his dominant arm, causing him to drop the gun. At the moment of weakness, you held his head and kneed him straight to his nose. Ah, it's broken.

"Hmm.. do we kill him?"

Jihn controlled your arms and twisted his neck, "do you have to ask?"

Newt whistled at your performance.

You scoffed and picked up the gun at the ground and morphed into the guy you just killed earlier, "very convenient.."

Newt seem disappointed it didn't get any action, "Newt, can you scout upstairs? Find out how many fuckers are there and give me the layout of the building. Don't forget about Des."

The cute looking dragon happily bobbed its head and flapped its wings upstairs.

"Let's follow Newt."

In just a second he immediately returned, "wha— how are you so fast?!"

"Oh! Hehe, I forgot to tell you I can phase so I just zoomed everywhere!"

Your head throbbed, ".....fucking hell.... so, gathered any info?"

"Yup! Yup! Two men on the second floor, three on the hallway, and another two on room 166! Plus the damsel on distress, hehe."

Jihn snickered, "eh, not much," smiling devilishly, "let's fucking finish this before spidey arrives, hm?"

You put the gun on the back of your jeans and headed upstairs, spotting two burly men but they're already pointing their gun at you, "Jamieson? What the hell, you were supposed to guard the entrance!"

They dropped their guard at the familiar face, "Haha, well—

Bang!* Bang!*

Two gaping holes formed on their head, "ouch."

You morphed into Desiree and screamed for help, these gunshots definitely alarmed the kidnappers.

"Help!!"

Three footsteps were already coming down the stairs, each armed with gun, "Somebody, help!"

"Wow, mon ami, you deserve an Oscar!" the clown is enjoying this shit right now.

When the first guy showed up, he was guarded as fuck, "huh? It's the girl we kidnapped.." he lowered his gun to take a closer look, "what the fuck are—

Once he stepped in your vicinity, you popped a bullet into his kneecap and immediately used his body as a shield, "fuck! Sam!"

They seem close... that's great!

"Fucking bitch!" the pain made him drop the gun, instantly making him weak from agony, "I'll fucking gouge your eyes and—"

You pointed a gun at the back of his head, "I wonder... will you drop your guns to save him or would you just let him die?" you comically laughed.

They hesitantly looked at each other and decided to lower their guns, "awww, that's sweet!"

Bang!* Bang!*

"Noo!!! Fucking shit!! I'll fucking kill yo—"

Bang!*

They all dropped like flies, what a tragic ending.

"That was sooo fun! It's been so long since we've done this!" Jihn was ecstatic. Uhm, didn't we just torture that cannibal a few weeks ago?

You morphed into the last guy you've killed, "wow their bodies are built good, should we just stay on this bod—"

"Non," the clown immediately replied.

Newt just giggled, it seems to be enjoying the scene right now, "let's save her already."

Spidey's seem to be running late.
