Just Another Tuesday (Open)

[Deleted]

All Scott wanted to do was grab a bite to. So, he took his motorcycle out to New York City, cruising through the streets as he tried to think of what he wanted to eat. He weighed his options, wondering if he wanted to do Chinese, Thai, and the like, or go with an old fashion pair of pizza slices with a drink. Eventually, the latter won out – mostly because his stomach was getting restless and a pizza spot was coming up. He slowed his bike down as he pulled off to the side. As he cut the bike off, he kicked down the kickstand and allowed it to lean off to the right as he dismounted the bike.

“Okay, time to eat,” Scott said as he grabbed the bottom of his helmet. Before he could remove it though, a black SUV zoomed past him, followed by a group of NYPD squad cars with sirens blaring. As he turned his head towards the chase, he heard the sound of guns firing. “Or not.” He turned around and remounted his bike. After kicking up the kickstand and tossing his helmet into the nearest trash bin with hopes of returning to it afterwards, he started up the bike and rode after them.

Scott wasn’t only one who saw the chase, however. Swinging overhead was none other than Spider-Man. As he moved between the buildings, Spider-Man changed his route, trying his best to find an angle to attack the vehicle.

“All I need is one…” he began, whispering to himself. However, he trailed off when he saw a motorcycle drive by the cars and move up behind the SUV. “What the heck is going on?” As if to answer the question, the cyclist lifted up his glasses and let loose a red beam towards one of the back tires. After one of the back tires were destroyed, the SUV skidded as it spun out.

“That’ll work,” Spider-Man said as he went into a dive before he landed on the side of a building, close enough to strike as he watched the SUV. During this, Cyclops drove past the SUV before bringing the motorcycle to skidding halt.

Out in the busy city of New York. Jin was sitting down in one of the many cafes around, enjoying a coffee. *Ahh that hit the spot.* He thought as he sipped his hot beverage, looking out the cafe window. Jin was taken aback by what he saw, Across the street from him was what seemed to be a rapid car chase as a black SUV was speeding along the road tailed by the NYPD sqaud cars as they blitzed down the path. Hearing the sound of gun fire, Jin dropped his coffee and ran outside in order to witness the upcoming chaos that was about to unfold before his eyes.

As he looked around he heard the sounds of multiple gasps coming from the onlookers as a cyclist rode up behind the squad cars. Overtaking them causing the squad cars to come to a premature stop. As the cyclist tailed the black SUV, it was easier to see it was a man with black shades on, and as  the glasses now seen on the man's face lifed up  a powerful red beam shot towards the car tires. "Woah" was all that Jin could muster as he watched the tire exploded and the SUV come to a skidding stop.

Just when it looked like everything had been handled, five men dressed in black and wearing black blaklavas exited the car, with one of the men holding a gun to the head of what seemed to be a hostage they had in the back of the car. "If you don't want to see the inside of this broad's brains I suggest you let us leave with the money." One of the men declared as he gripped the woman tighter causing a whimper to escape her mouth.
"This sh*t only happens here don't it." Jin muttered to himself as he withdrew one of his throwing knives descreetly.
Keeping his breathing steady he let loose and threw his knife with pinpoint accuracy cutting the hand of the man holding the hostage, as this happened he withdrew two more knives throwing them at the other two surrounding men before coming out into the open. *Damn my good nature, and damn you Jase for giving me a moral compass.* Jin moaned to himself before smirking.

"What's up fella's heard you guys were having a little shindig and decided to crash it." He said to the men mockingly even though he was tense as he scanned his surroundings.

Spider-Man nodded a few times in approval. It looked like everything was handled, or was about to be. As such, he brought his arms up, ready to just swing away. However, that was when the doors opened up and the men came out, one of them holding a gun to the woman.

“Of course it was too easy,” Spider-Man said with a sigh as he started to crawl downward.

“Don’t do this,” Scott said as he slowly dismounted his bike. In response, the man pressed the barrel even harder against her temple. “You’re surrounded!”

“I said let us leave!”

Scott turned his unseen eyes towards the woman, seeing that she was panicking. He internally sighed as he took a step back. And that was when knives, one of them hitting the gunman’s hand. The woman immediately ran forward towards the police. Scott turned his head to see…

“Jin…” he said. “Small world.”

Three of the men decided to go after Scott. However, only one of them were able to reach him. Two strands of webbing hit them in the chest before they were suddenly pulled towards Spider-Man, who caught the two of them with his hands with almost no effort.

“You know, you guys should have a meeting of mind the next time you want to do a robbery in a city full of superhumans,” Spider-Man quipped. He then slammed his heads together before they dropped them to the floor. “Like so!”

On Scott’s end, the former leader of the X-Men didn’t even look behind him. He quickly lifted up his ruby quartz glasses and shot a beam at the charging man. The force of the beam was hard enough to send the assailant into the SUV.

[JIN DANIELS]

Just as he was prepared to attack, he was mometiarily sshocked to see the men go after the man on the motorcylce instead of him. As he watched them run towards the man, they were unexpectedly hit by webs. *Wait webs that can only mean one thing, Spider-Man's here*. Jin thought as he watched the men get pulled towards the webslinger who had just landed near the man he had just saved.

"Okay, so Spider-Man is here and now that I think about it that guy with the bike looks an awful lot like Scott, in fact I'm gonna shout his name right now to get his attention thats how sure I am" Jin said to himself earning him looks from some onlookers as they questioned his sanity for even being invloved in this whole scene.

"Hey Scott long time no see" Jin shouted as he made his way towards the duo before wincing in mock sympathy as one of the men came flying in his direction due to being hit with a red beam and hitting the black SUV. *That is definetly Scott* He thought as he remembered the night at the bar in New Orleans.  *Ahh that was an epic fight, too bad we got kicked out afterwards* Jin remenisced to himself before sighing.

As he walked over to the two men while reminsicing he found himself Standing in front of the man whom he now recognised as Scott, and Jin couldn't help but smile as he remembered how awesome the guy was. "Yo man" Jin greeted as he raised his hand for a handshake. "How's it hangin'". Jin said before wincing and looking at the other person beside them, who was non other than the famed hero Spider-man. "No pun intended" He told him while smiling lighlty hoping he didn't offend the hero.

It was Jin alright. And fortunately, he didn’t leave his skills back in New Orleans. Scott surveyed the scene, seeing that all of the thugs were dealt with. He then turned his head as he heard Spider-Man jump onto the roof of the SUV.

“Man, you really handle yourself very well,” Spider-Man said. He then tilted his head. “Mr…”

“Scott,” Scott completed. “…I’m just doing what anyone in position would do.”

Then came Jin, who greeted the two of them. Underneath his mask, Spider-Man rolled his eyes.

“If I had nickel for every time I’ve heard that,” Spider-Man said in jest.

“I’m glad you’ve been keeping yourself safe, Jin,” Scott said as he shook his hand. All around them, the cops moved in on the downed perps. Just a few seconds later, a news van rolled up. Sighing to himself as he withdrew his hand, Scott thought about just hopping onto his motorcycle and riding off. While arrangements were made to take his death off of the records, he still wasn’t too keen to being exposed to the media out in public without being in uniform.

Spider-Man, on the other hand, wanted to leave for another reason. He just really didn’t feel like being on the scene with the media, given the knowledge about how the current “SHIELD” operated.

“I’m really enjoying being a spectator to this reunion, I really am,” Spider-Man said as he stood up. “But maybe we should do this at another place. You know, without… them?” As he said that, he gestured over to the police and the news van.

“But maybe we should do this at another place. You know, without… them?” "Them?" Jin repeated before looking around for a brief second, and saw the media swarming towards their location like locuts. "Oh Them". He muttered as he nodded his head, "How bout we meet up at a bar not too far from here, you know the one by 3rd street right?" Jin asked both men.

Turning to leave Jin remembered he left his black Lamborghini Aventador parked just by the cafe. "Ugh, great I'm gonna have to try and get passed eveyone without being seen, great." Jin moaned out sarcastically. "Hey Scott, buddy any chance of a lift." Jin asked with a pout that looked incredibly awkward and wrong on his face. Not waiting for a reply, he hopped onto the back of the bike making revving noises which drew looks from the civilians who were still watching the two men and famed hero.

As he waited for Scott to start the engine so that they could leave, a thought crossed his mind making him look at the hero in front of him curiously. "Hey Spidey" he called. "So your spider webs, are they like real or what cause some people say their completely fake but I recon they're real". Jin said to the spider themed hero in a rather obnoxious tone.

"Damn it" he said as the news reporters were standing a few feet in front of them blocking their escape. Just as he was about to tell them to move, he was tapped on the shoulder by a young man who looked to be in his twenties, holding a tape recorder. *How the hell did he sneak up on me?* Jin wondered before the man spoke. "Excuse me, Mister could you please tell us what happened and why you did what you did?" The man said as the rest nodded in consent of the question. Ignoring the question, Jin quickly told them he was not answering any questions.

Ah, the media, Spider-Man thought to himself. He had a tolerate-hate relationship with the media. The hate came from the fact that his name has been smeared in the media on a near-daily basis. The toleration came from the fact that he was, indeed, a member of the media.

Such was life.

Scott Summers rolled his unseen eyes before he walked up to his motorcycle. Signaling towards Jin to follow to hop on, he stepped over and sat on the motorcycle. He then looked over at Jin, who was being hounded by a reporter.

“Of course,” Scott muttered to himself. He probably would have had a more positive about reporters had it not been for the fact that mutants were often made out to be monsters in their outlets. But, as it was, the mutant often had a low opinion on reporters. When they kept on hounding Jin, Scott thought about going over there to tell him off. Fortunately, for the both of them, Spider-Man was already on it.

Spider-Man jumped from his spot and landed behind the reporter and the cameraman, causing both of them to turn around and face him.

“Don’t get me wrong, I do believe in the right to press,” he said. After that, he brought his right arm up and webbed the lens of the camera. “But I also believe in the right to privacy.” With that done, Spider-Man jumped upward before he shot out a strand of webbing towards a building and swung away.

“…Ready to go, Jin?” Scott asked.

JIN DANIELS

[JIN DANIELS]

Just as he was about to blow up at the reporter hounding at him, he jerked in suprise at hearing Spider-Man's voice. “Don’t get me wrong, I do believe in the right to press,” as he webbed the lense of te camera and ending the conversation with “But I also believe in the right to privacy.” *Okay cool.* Jin thought before watching the spider themed hero swing away. Watching the Spider his attention was taken away by Scott who had called for him to hop onto the back of his bike.

"Alright, thanks for this man your a lifesaver." He said as he hopped onto the bike, "so where too man?" Jin asked his ruby quartz spectacled friend. And just as he asked his phone rings. *Ring, Ring, Ring*. "Damn this better be important" Jin mumbles as he slides open his phone, answering the call. "Hey, Jin long time no see." The person on the other end said before continuing. "I've got a job for you to handle." The voice said again.  Listening to the voice Jin wondered who it was before, realizing it was Jace. "The hell Jace man, what you doing calling me up and telling me you got a job for me." Jin practiacally yelled at the phone before sighing, "Well sorry Jace but I can't take anymore jobs man." Jin said with a hint of sadness in his voice as he told Jace he was not continuing with his former way of life any longer and with that he ended the call. After sighing again he looked towards Scott wondering if he had any inkling about what he did or rather used to do.

[Deleted]

Scott smiled slightly at the lifesaver remark. It really wasn’t that serious.

…Or was it?

When he was asked where they were going, Scott was about to reply by pointing out that he (Jin) already made a destination. However, before he could say anything, Jin had a phone call.

While Jin spoke, he thought about how his life changed when he got all of his memories back. And by change, he meant going back to normal. There have been plenty of times when Scott had to use his powers while in public, though he really didn’t like doing so. There was nothing discreet about having the ability to shoot red beams out from the eyes, so it was a huge pain to try and hide the use of it.

He didn’t complain about it much. Actually, he didn’t complain about it at all. There were mutants he came across that have a hard time merely hiding the fact that they were mutants to begin with, such as Hank. The only thing Scott had to worry about was some people thinking that he was some, as some would say, a douche bag because he wore sunglasses on the inside. So, the way he saw it, not being able to usually use his powers in a discreet manner was a minor and very bearable annoyance compared to what the other mutants at the mansion had to go through.

Once Jin was done, Scott started up his motorcycle.

“So… about that bar,” he said.

JIN DANIELS

[JIN DANIELS]

As he ended the call, he heard Scott mention the bar. *Oh sh!t the bar, I completely forgot.* Jin thought before addressing Scott's question. "Yeah dude lets go, its by 3rd street you can't miss it." Jin told him as the bike's engine roared to life.

As they got close to the bar, Jin hopped off the still moving bike with unbelievable grace landing on his feet with a smile. Dusting imaginary dirt off his clothes, Jin walked up to the bar doors opening them with a bang that attracted the attention of everyone in the bar. strolling inside Jin almost seemed like royalty with his unmatched sense of balance and grace that people seemed to recognise as they parted for him.

Getting to the counter Jin smiled at the bartender as he ordered his favourite beverage a nice ol' glass of Guinness. Jin asked as he looked atound the bar observing the people as he waited for Scott to park his bike and enter as well as waiting for the younger hero spider-man, whoever he was underneath his mask. *Hmm I really do wonder, whoerever he is, they're doing a really awesome job at keeping the city safe, I mean with nutjobs like Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin around it was good that someone stepped up to help the citizens cause God knows they can't seem to do sh!t for themselves.* Jin thought to himself as he sipped his beer. "Ahh that hit the spot" he almost moaned out in definte bliss

[Deleted]

As Scott drove through the street, he wondered how Jin felt about him being a mutant. Then again, he didn’t know if he was a mutant or another type of superhuman. That always confused Scott. Why did the way someone get their powers make a difference? Was a mutant any more dangerous than the likes of, say, The Hulk? Scott just couldn’t get his mind around it.

Once he found the bar that Jin talked about, he pulled over to the side of the road. After shutting off the bike and kicking down the kickstand. After stepping off of the bike, he took a moment to crack his back before he followed Jin inside. Once inside, he looked around before he took a seat next to him.

“Glad to see you’ve been okay since New Orleans,” Scott said. He then waved down the bartender. “A Guinness, if you would kindly.” After a nod from the bartender, Scott remained quiet, waiting on his drink. He didn’t have to wait too long before a cold bottle was placed in front of him. After nodding thankfully, Scott grabbed the bottle and took a sip from it. After letting loose a contented sound, Scott was about to speak before the sound of the front door, and everything went quiet.

Cyclops looked over his shoulder, then raised an eyebrow as Spider-Man came walking in. The man in the red and blue suit looked around slowly before he just as slowly walked up to the bar and sat next to Scott, opposite of Jin.

“You think these guys never saw a superhero in a mask before,” Spider-Man quipped. He then looked towards the bartender. “Ginger Ale, please.”

Gulping down the goodness that was guinness, Jin shifted his eyes towards the entrance as he saw Scott walk in. As the man sat down beside him he heard him say that he was glad he'd been doing okay since the last time they met, finishing up his drink he whiped the froth of his mouth with a nearby tissue before ordering another one. After ordering his swung round on his seat facing Scott as he replied "Thanks man, I'm glad your doing okay yourself. See you havent let yourself slack since the last time we saw each other". Jin said with a grin before his attention was momenterialy shifted to the bartender who give him his drink.

turning around again to face Scott, he saw he was about to speak before he stopped for some reason, in fact the whole pub seemed to go quiet. Confused at the sudden silence Jin turned to face the door and what he saw made him groan. Walking over towards them was Spider-Man decked out in full costume. Jin watched as he walked up to the bar sitting on the opposite side if him as he commented about how the stunned massess have never seen a superhero in a mask before.

While Jin knew it was a joke he still felt the need to address the situation and tell the hero why it was so weird, but first he needed to finish his beer. "Spidey welcome mate, and the reason for their shock is the fact that youo are indeed a superhero and you came decked out in full costume. Jin told the man while raising an eyebrow as if to ask why he came in costume, it's not like he and Scott would go straight to the newspapers and tell everyone who was behind the mask.

[Deleted]

Scott couldn’t help but a be a bit amused by the fact that Spider-Man, costume and all, walked into the bar without even worrying about how weird it may have looked. The looks that everyone gave him made the sight even more amusing. After letting loose a short chuckle, he went back to drinking his beer. During this, the bartender eyed Spider-Man before he went about acquiescing with the Wallcrawler’s request.

“I’m sure it’s an everyday occurrence,” Spider-Man said, still keeping the humor in his voice. “In all seriousness, I’m merely taking a break before I head back out and right back into the patrolling of the city. Add to the fact that I keep my identity a secret, I really see no point in coming in in a change of clothes.”

“Understandable,” Scott said before he took another swig from his beer. Being a mutant, he understood the need for secrecy. The moment that a mutant’s status of being, well, a mutant, was out in the open, it usually led to them getting treated poorly. Scott was reminded of that down in New Orleans.

The bartender came back with Spider-Man’s soda in a beer mug.

“Thanks,” Spider-Man said in earnest. He then lifted up a part of his mask, leaving the bottom back of his face exposed. After grabbing the handle of the mug, he lifted it up briefly. “Cheers.” After that, he took a hearty swig from the drink. After letting loose a contented sigh, he set the mug down. “So… Shades. Can’t say I’ve seen you around New York before. Where did you come from?”

“Alaska,” Scott said in a near curt tone. “I’ve been around quite a few places.”

"Ahh busy man, you are, just how do you get anything done with all the crime fighting." Jin said as he gulped down the remnants of his drink down. As he placed his mug onto the table, he turned his head over to the douche that had changed the song on the jukebox in the corner. "Hey, douche, how bout you put the song back, Aint no one want to listen this shit," Jin said as his voice rang out across the bar quiteing most conversations as nearly everyone in the bar turned to him.
"Tch, what you all looking at", he called out causing most of them to jolt up in their seats before turning around once again ignoring his presence. However, one person didn't, in fact, this person looked annoyed at Jin's less than polite question as he rose from his seat. Making his way over to Jin's seat, the man tapped Jin on his shoulder.

Jin for his part promptly ignored the man as he walked up to him instead he chose to focus on Scott and Spideys conversation, which he just found out that Scott has been quite a few places around the world. *Ever the mystery man eh, Scotty* Jin thought before he was brought out his thoughts by a tapping on his shoulders. Turning his head to face the person tapping him, he cursed silently as he recognised the person as the man who was walking towards him a few minutes ago. *Damn I thought if I ignore him, he'd get the hint now I have to confront him. Hope his friends are here cause I'm not calling the hospital again, they said they'll start charging me can you believe th-* Jin's thought were caught off by a very surprising punch to the face. Stumbling a little on his stool, Jin spat out the blood welling up in his mouth as he started breathing in and out.

"You know, my ex once told me I had to learn to control my impulses. I mean the last time I didn't, it didn't end to well for this guy and his crew. remember Scotty, fun times, fun times." Jin said fondly as he stood up abruptedly shocking the man as he drove his head straight at the mans head knocking him unconscious.

[Deleted]

Spider-Man nodded at Scott’s answer. He didn’t take the curtness of his tone personally. Being a superhero who worked underneath the mask, he understood why this man… Scott… would want to keep his life close to the vest. Plus, there was a possibility that the man was a mutant. Spider-Man himself wouldn’t care if he was – a good guy is a good guy and a bad guy is a bad guy, mutant or not. However, it seemed that there were non-powered individuals that get a bit Breitbart-ish when the topic of mutants comes up.

And that was stupid, in the Wall Crawler’s opinion. But prejudice never made sense.

So, in response, Spider-Man let a small hum of acknowledgement before he took another sip of his soda.

Maybe it was because he was still trying to readjust to life back in the New York area – something that was a bit of a challenge since he, in essence, had the memories of two men in his head – Scott wasn’t quick to open up about himself to the other heroes outside of the X-Men. That was going to be for another time, if at all.

Spider-Man was going to ask another question, but another came into the picture – one that knew Scott’s companion. Both Spider-Man and Scott turned and looked at both Jin and this mystery man before the latter was laid out.

“…Weeeeyaaall…” Spider-Man uttered out as he stood up.

“So, is there something you want to tell us, Jin?” Scott asked. As he did so, he looked around, seeing if anyone was going to attack.
