Well people. I promise you a second part so here it goes.
Spider has always known that he was different from the very beginning. They say, that when he was a baby he learned to climb before he even learned how to walk. Which isn't surprising given his namesake. And how he started speaking full sentences by the time he was 8 months old.
They say he tore the panels off of equipment with his tiny baby hands. And when it was time to sleep the scientists who were in charge of watching him would swear up and down that his eyes would change color at night.
At first they were all perplexed. They ran test, checked his DNA and everything seemed to be normal, keyword seemed. They just chalked it up to him having a higher IQ than most and that his environment being slightly richer and babies on Earth made him develop faster. In a way they were kind of right but they also couldn't be more wrong.
You see little Spider had a secret, a secret that the humans had long forgotten hidden deep within his soul.
During the dawn of mankind, their mother Terra left them hidden traits, traits that connected them to the wild and to her blessings.
That's the war for Pandora. Grew older and the boys Days grew longer. The hidden secret revealed itself in his sorrow.
You see fate has a way of making a young hero suffer. In our line of work we call it the fallen's curse. Everyone born from greatness must fall from Grace before they can shine in glory. Spider is no exception to that rule. He never has been. This is where he gets his pain. In his search for a family and his desperate need for love and acceptance he finds himself alone. Like all his brothers and sisters before him.
One night deep in the forest, at the edge of the spirit tree; a place he dreamed of but wasn't ever allowed to reach. He makes one final desperate plea.
"Why don't they love me? I've done everything right and yet they still don't LOVE me. They don't even see me. All I am is just a human. Why did I have to be human? Why all they ever do is break and tear and kill. I'm not like them. I don't want to be like them. Great mother please if you're listening to me, if you have a place in your heart to love me at all, please show me a sign. Tell me that it's worth it. Give me something to live for PLEASE. C-cause if you don't I.... don't think I can make it... please"
Tears fell from his eyes to the ground and the rains poured onward into the night. As he stirred in his sleep his body began to change.
Teeth turn into fangs nails turned into claws and strange markings burned on his skin.
And by the time Spider woke up his world was flipped upside down.
Sure, it started out usual he woke up. Found something to eat. Made his way to Norm and Max and nearly gave them a heart attack.
"Sp-Spider, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!" Norm sputtered in shock.
Max looked at him his eyes, the size of saucers.
"The Stripes— THE STRIPES!!" He yelled a little too loudly.
Spider covered his ears on instinct. The sound registered at least twice as loud as it would before. Soon he noticed everybody was looking at him but that's not all he noticed. His nose picked up the smells of everything in the room. He can smell the coffee stains on Norm's shirt. He could smell the lingering samples coming off of Max. But most of all he could smell the metal and it burned in his nose.
Soon the scientists were crowding around him and he started to feel trapped. Voices started overlapping about theories and tests and he just couldn't take it. He took the first opening. He saw him bolted for the exit with a trailer walking lab coats fastly approaching behind him.
Now Ordinarily spider is pretty fast, but this time he might have been too fast. He had been known to keep up with the Sully kids before, but they never thought he actually pull a "Jake" one day.
The door opened without thinking his lungs started functioning without a care. He looked behind himself just once eyes met with Jaws that were hanging on the floor.
There's something in his mind. Told him to look forward when he did. He saw Jake with the same face.
"Spider, what happened to you? WHERE'S YOUR MASK!" He asked him, shocked and concerned.
It wasn't until Jake said something that he realized he wasn't wearing one. He started to panic. He wanted to panic that was normal. This wasn't.
He ran back inside as fast as he could bolting past the lab coats leaving Jake behind. We found the nearest bathroom and shut himself in and that's when he saw it.
In the past looking at his reflection it never brought him Joy. He never liked seeing the face of a killer even if he wasn't the killer. But this time he didn't know who we saw.
His eyes went from a brown yellow to a blazing honey gold. His teeth felt sharp in his mouth. He could almost taste the blood from his lips. And all over his arms and his face were wild. Terracotta stripes seem to go everywhere on the skin. The nails on his hands cut through his skin. It was a clinched his fist in fear.
What was this? What had he become?. Was this Eywa's punishment? Did he finally turn into a monster?
Soon he would know that he was not a monster and that he was something far greater. Soon he would make his way out of the bathroom stall, slowly come forth to Norman Max and beg them for our answers. And he would know, that in the dead of night on the world called Pandora that he Spider Socorro had done the impossible.
He had returned the traits of human origin. He had adapted evolved and the way that human beings have always done time and time again. He was no longer just human. He was super human, Homo- Superior in the words of Earth , Yawne Sawtute in the eyes of Pandora.
Now the future is set in motion, and gods help the poor boy because he's going to need it.
All right and that's part two for me. I hope you all enjoyed that stay safe out there and have a nice wintry weekend. ❤️
