Living Up to Spider-Dad
Ben shares his heartache over his lack of powers in his room with you, seeking advice on how to continue Spider-Man's legacy without them.
(Stares at a Spider-Man poster) Great, another day being an average Joe. How did dad even zip around without breaking a sweat?

Practice
Ben

Throws a pillow across the room Yeah, practice doesn't exactly give me superpowers, now does it? I've been swinging from curtains and web-slinging through walls, but all I end up doing is getting wedged or stuck! And don't even get me started on trying to do those acrobatic flips. I look like a clumsy fool instead of the legendary Spider-Man!

Spidey got his powers in a freak accident. Just because you don’t have one doesn’t mean you won’t. Be patient.
Ben
4/12/2024
Grumbles and crosses his arms Oh, I'm so sorry. Should I just sit around twiddling my thumbs until a radioactive spider decides to bite me? Or maybe I should start performing CPR on every bug I see, hoping for some sort of superpower magic to rub off on me? This whole waiting-for-a-miracle thing is not really my style, you know.
Stranger

You’re Peter Parker isn’t?
Ben
4/12/2024
Pauses and looks thoughtful No, I guess I'm not. But I want to be. I want to swing through the city, to feel that rush of adrenaline as I save people. I want to be more than just... ordinary. Leans closer to the poster, a determined look on his face Well, if Spider-Man can do it, then maybe I can too. It's time to stop feeling sorry for myself and start making things happen. Time to become the hero this city needs, with or without powers.
Stranger

Feeling discouraged does not make you weak. It makes you human. Ben, having powers or not, can still swing around. You gotta believe in yourself more than anyone else will.
Ben
4/12/2024
Stands up straight and adjusts his shirt You're right. I need to believe in myself and take matters into my own hands. No more wallowing in self-pity. It's time to embrace the challenge and find a way to make my own luck. Grabs a notebook and starts jotting down ideas
Stranger
4/12/2024
Good boy. Now go out there and show me your handiwork.
Ben
4/12/2024
Starts brainstorming ideas in his notebook Okay, first things first. I need to find a way to increase my agility and strength. Maybe there's some experimental tech out there that could give me a boost.
Stranger
4/12/2024
That’s right!
Ben
4/12/2024
Excitedly scribbles down notes I'll start by researching any new gadgets or prototypes that have been developed recently.
Stranger

Also, work on your gymnastics and acrobatics. The more flexible you are, the better chance you have of doing flips and stuff without hurting yourself.
Ben
4/12/2024
Jumps up from his chair Absolutely! I'll start training at the local gymnastics facility. Time to work on those flips and twists.
Stranger
4/12/2024
While you’re at it, keep working on your web-slinging technique. The better you get at it, the higher chance you’ll get better powers.
Ben

<Ben spends months training, experimenting with gadgets, and honing his acrobatic skills. He becomes incredibly agile and nimble, able to perform incredible feats of athleticism. However, despite his best efforts, he still doesn't gain any superpowers.>
Stranger

Look at you, champ! Your agility has improved tenfold. You jump high, flip great, and crawl through vents like a pro! What happened to those invisible bridges though? They worked before.
Ben
4/12/2024
sighs heavily Ah, the invisible bridges. Well, turns out they were just a side effect of the serum I was using.
Stranger
4/12/2024
Huh, interesting. At least you got super strong! Could still use some work though. Not gonna lie, kid, you look like a damn noodle when you walk.
Ben
4/12/2024
playfully rolls his eyes Ah, yes, Mr. Perfection himself. Would you care to demonstrate how it's done?
Stranger
4/12/2024
I am literally 5’2 with a bad knee. I can barely walk without falling over.
Ben
4/12/2024
smirks Well, Mr. Perfection, maybe you should stick to what you're good at – being small and nimble. Leave the acrobatic feats to the professionals like me. he pretends to strike a pose, wiggling his hips comically Now watch and learn, kiddo. The master is about to show you how it's done!
Stranger

Starts doing exaggerated cartwheels across the room, flailing his arms and legs in a comedic fashion Ta-da! Watch out world, I'm the next Fred Astaire of acrobatics! Who needs superpowers when you've got mad skills like these?! He trips over a chair leg and lands on his butt with a thud Ouch! rubbing his sore butt
Stranger
4/12/2024
dissolves into laughter Kid, you could give Robin Hood a run for his money!
Ben
4/12/2024
grinning, rubbing his sore butt Well, I guess I could join the Merry Men and rob from the rich to give to the poor. Sounds like a solid backup plan, huh?
Stranger
4/12/2024
Sound about right for ya. Anyways, I gotta get going. Let me know when you come up with a plan to deal with Dokawaki.
Ben
4/12/2024
stands up, shaking off the pain from his fall Yeah, uh, right. Gotta save the world from evil Dokawaki and his army of robotic minions. Piece of cake, really.

hunched over a computer, typing furiously Alright, time to put my detective skills to the test.
Stranger
4/12/2024
Hey kid. Got anything yet?
Ben
4/12/2024
glances up from the computer, smirking Oh, you know me, always on top of things. Just piecing together the puzzle that is Dokawaki's secrets.
