Flash Sentry The Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #2: Electro

"I don't pay you to sleep on the job Sentry!", Flash had gotten scolded by Mr. Jameson for not getting any pictures of Spider-Man and Electro's fight, it was even beyond Flash on how it got out to the public that there was a late night duel and so he used the excuse of sleeping while it happened, "Next Time you come, BRING PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN!"

Flash stormed out of the Bugle and got in his car, "Well that's just great! When will that bastard cut me some slack!", Flash started up his car and drove towards Canterlot Tech, "Well at least I have another job where the employer isn't a crazy guy who hates me for no reason!", Canterlot Tech wasn't that far from the Daily Bugle

15 minutes later Flash arrived to Canterlot Tech and grabbed his Car Keys, "Well I can see one friendly face", Flash got out of his Car and walked towards the Lab at Canterlot Tech where he got his usual greetings for Jaxon, a chokehold noogie,

Flash made his way into the Laboratory and was met with a surprise visitor, "Micro Chips?!, What are you doing here", Microchips turned around, "Flash!, Oh I'm done with school so me and my new family are spending the summer here before I have to go back to Europe for college, "What's your deal!"

Flash walked up to Micro Chips and they did their usual secret handshake they made up as kids, "Oh well I needed to make extra cash and well this seemed like the most chill job I could find, also my boss is pretty chill", Flash and Microchips finished up their handshake before Sugarcoat walked into the room

"Ah Flash there you are!", She held a stack of paper in her hands, "Doctor Discord wanted to go through all these!", Flash looked confused and shrugged, "Uh, what are those exactly?", Sugarcoat rolled her eyes, "There Clothing orders, we have to go through all of them and--", She came to an abrupt stop when she saw Micro Chips in the room

"What is he doing here?!", Flash turned to Micro Chips and back to Sugarcoat, "You know him", Sugar Coat nodded, "Yeah, it's the guy Twilight used to go on about all the time during the friendship games!", Flash looked at the both of them and looked genuinely confused, Wow, so this is what I get for not participating in stuff like this

Micro Chips shrugged, "Well hey, I can't help it that I'm irresistible ", Sugarcoat rolled her eyes, "Yeah, irresistibly irritating", She slowly pushed Micro Chips out of the lab, "Well Uh Flash, I'll see you around!", Sugarcoat slammed the door on |Micro Chips, "Well we should never be seeing him again, now anyways, THE ORDERS!"

Sugarcoat gave Flash half of the orders, I don't even know what half of this has to do with being a lab assistant, Flash just shrugged and started looking through each order form, Then again, I was told to unclog the toilet

*****

Flash and Sugarcoat both looked tired after going through all the orders, "How does this even relate to being a lab assistant", Sugarcoat just shrugged, "Look I just listen to what Doctor Discord tells me to and I get payed", Flash thought about it and just shrugged

Flash looked to the desk behind him and he saw a picture that caught his interest, Hmm.. What's this?, Flash got out of his chair and walked over to get a better view of the picture, it was a picture of Circuit Breaker, Doctor Whooves, Doctor Discord and a few other people doing work, Looks like this was most likely a promotional picture, Flash looked at the picture again and couldn't help but notice one of the workers, he had yellow spiky hair and light green skin, Hey!?, He sorta looks like, ELECTRO!?

Sugarcoat noticed Flash in the corner of her eye looking at the picture and decided to walk over to him, "Oh hey I know this picture!", Flash looked at her, "I'm pretty sure those guys are Doctor Discord's old co-workers, what's with the sudden interest?", Flash obviously knew that but decided to play dumb

"Oh, uh well, I thought a blast from the past looked interesting!", Sugarcoat smirked and walked off, Hmm?, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure this guy was in an accide--Flash came to an abrupt stop after making the realization that the accident he was referring to had the name Green Goblin written all over it, I swear Micro Chips's alter ego is always back to haunt me

Flash's phone went off and he realized it was quitting time, "Alright!", Flash grabbed his bag and went outside and something caught his eye, he looked beside him and saw a picture of his Dad, before his death he used to work at Canterlot Tech as a staff member, memories of that nightmare he had were coming back and he quickly looked away and thought of something else

*****

Flash had gotten home at 1:00 in the afternoon, "Well it's not like I have anything to do, Doctor Discord is busy so interrogating him would be pretty bad for Spider-Man's dying rep, this Electro guy who's apparently named Zek probably doesn't have any notable business or something that I could get a backstory out of and I basically have no friends, well besides Sugarcoat and Micro Chips but they have their things so I guess, I can catch up on some sleep"

Flash went to go into the kitchen to grab a snack before taking a nap when he saw a paper on the kitchen table, "Hello what's this", Flash looked at the paperwork, they were all related to his house, the sales contract which looked over 30 years old, well this was his Grandparents house before they hit it rich in Vegas and moved away, the ownership of the house, Flash put his hand over his mouth coming to the realization that, "Mom selling the house?!"

Flash had never been more surprised in his life, Wow I never thought it came to this, especially from mom, she's always been so faithful to this house,, despite the fact Flash had been looking for apartments or a small condo near Equestria State University he still loved his childhood home and saying goodbye to it felt really hard for him to do

"Wow....this is something I guess", Flash went upstairs and to his bed to finally catch up on some sleep

Micro Chips was walking in the mall reminiscing about all the fun times he had with his friends, Speaking of Which! Look who it is, Micro Chips saw Sandalwood along with his girlfriend Fluttershy and all of her friends, "Well let's see how this goes"

Micro Chips walked up behind Sandalwood, "Hey!, Longtime no talk eh Sandalwood", Sandalwood nearly choked on his drink and he looked behind him, "Well, Well, Well look who decides to join us", Sandalwood got out of his seat and they both did their super secret handshake that they made as kids, "I thought you said you'd never come back?"

Micro Chips shrugged, "Well I'm done with school and my Step Mom insisted that we go here one last time", Micro Chips turned to look at everyone else, "Wow you all look great an--", He came to an abrupt stop when he saw Soarin and Curly Winds, "Oh it's you two", his enthusiasm went to hatred in only a few seconds

Curly Winds laughed, "Oh come on Micro, were all adults here, and I've changed, you know since dating Sunny over here!", Micro Chips looked confused, he looked at the girl Curly's arm was around and it was Sunset, "Wait?, You're dating Sunset?!", Sunset nodded

"Wow I knew Flash was new to the whole dating thing but 4 months?!, damn that is some bad luck", Everyone looked a bit ashamed hearing his name, even Curly felt guilty, "Huh?!, hey what's wrong?", asked Micro Chips, "Was it something I said"

Rarity spoke, "So uh, we may have all gotten a bit...frustrated with him, well not frustrated but..--",

"We all got mad and yelled at him and he's completely dodged all of us for a week", said Rainbow Dash said trying to speed up the conversation, "Look truth be told, we all kinda feel like asses for it and the dude is really hard to get in touch to!", Micro Chips started stroking his chin, I know Flash is prone to anger but for a dodging people for a week, something smells fishy

"Well what'd he do to make you guys yell at him?", asked Micro Chips, Curly Winds cleared his throat, "Um, well he kneed me in the stomach", Micro Chips felt a grin almost being formed and he was trying to contain his laughter, "And you felt pain?"

"Look I didn't know he was that strong to begin with, he was like the last pick for every team in gym class", said Curly answering back as quickly as possible, Sunset rolled her eyes and put her hand on Curly's Shoulder, "Anyways he's basically cut all ties with us and the last thing he gave us was a group picture he took of us, but forget him!", Sunset's head did form one idea,"Hey since you're here and you're like one of the braniacs of the school, could you settle something for us?"

Micro Chips shrugged, "Pfft, Alright!, what's the deal?", Sunset got out a picture of Spider-Man, "Uhh, it's Spider-Man?!, there's like a billion questions to ask", Sunset nodded her head, "Yeah we wan't to know if you think he's a hero or if he's a villain?"

Micro Chips looked at Sunset as if it were a no brainier, "Hmmm?, I don't know, a self proclaimed hero helping the people of Canterlot, yeah he seems good in my books, anyways what's the big deal about Spider-Man's legitimacy, I mean I know that J. Jonah guy hates him but you're not actually taking him seriously are you?"

Twilight chimed in, "Well see there is this big claim that he might be staging everything he does and personally from our first hand experience with him, he seemed like a bit of a jerk!, Micro Chips was about to speak before he got cut off by Twilight, "And before you ask, he insulted us by calling the Crystal Guardians, Disney Princesses!"

Micro Chips was about to say something but stopped himself, I mean, he's not wrong but......, Spike popped out of Twilight bag, "I don't know about you guys, but I think he's actually kind of cool", everyone looked at Spike in confusion

"Uh Spike dear", said Rarity, "You do realize you hang out with people who can use magic, don't you?", Spike nodded, "So then why do you think this Spider-Man is, cool?

Spike just shrugged, "There's something really special about him, I mean he does insane stunts in the air, he shoots webs out of his wrists, he climbs walls, like there are probably tons of things he can do!, sometimes I even wonder what he does on his spare time"

**Flash's Dream**

"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"

"Spider-Man's a Fraud"

"I am the Green Goblin"

"I had to go take pictures of Spider-Man"

"Stop the guy!"

"Please I have Wife and Kid!"

"Don't Hurt ME!"

"Face it Flash, the world is better off without you and Spider-Man!"

*****

Flash woke up abruptly and was panting after having what felt like a thousand voices screaming at him, "Why is all this happening to me!, why do I keep having bizarre dreams", Flash looked out the window and it was just about evening time, "Odd Mom is usually home by now?",

Flash wen't downstairs and turned on the lights, "Well maybe if I call her she'll give me some insight on what's going on?", Flash went over to the telephone and dialed his mother's number, "It's ringing", The phone eventually picked up

"Hey Mom!, Uh It's almost dinner time, where are you?", Flash had expected to hear his mother's voice but instead it was his mother's friend Scarlet Blitz

"Oh Flash!?"

"Mrs. Blitz?!, Where's my mom, did she fall asleep again?", asked Flash Jokingly, "I'm sorry, I'm horrible"

"Umm, Flash I don't know how to tell this but...., Mr.s Blitz Sounded worried and that made Flash's smile vanished almost instantly, "What happened?!"

"Flash, you're mother suffered a heart attack earlier today, she's at the hospital, Flash's eyes widened and he dropped his phone

"NO!, NO!, NO!, NO! FUCK!", Flash ran to his car and rushed to the hospital as fast as he could
