Flash Sentry The Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #2: Electro
Chapter 6: The Hospital
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFlash pulled up into the Parking Lot at the Hospital and rushed inside, "Oh Um hello there sir how may I help--"
"Do you know what room Sabrina Storm Sentry is in?", The intern lady's looked startled and she adjusted her glasses, "Oh?, Uh it's on room 621, may I ask who you ar--", Flash ran off towards the elevator, "Come on, Come on!", Flash was pressing the button repeatedly until opened
"Finally!", Flash ran inside the elevator and pressed the 6th floor button, How could I let this happen, she was probably super scared and where was I?, Sleeping!, Flash clenched his fists and he had the urge to hit himself
When Flash arrived at the 6th floor and ran towards room 621 and saw his mother laying in a hospital bed, while talking to a doctor, she seemed pretty cheerful but that didn't stop Flash from being a worry bug of his own, "MOM!, OH MY GOD!, MRS. BLITZ TOLD ME EVERYTHING!, ARE YOU OKAY!, WHEN DID IT HAPPEN!--"
"Oh Doctor Strive this is my pride and joy, Flash", How is she calm about this right now, the doctor gave out his hand to shake, Flash looked really confused and shook the Doctors hand but he soon after put all of his attention to his Mom
He held his mothers hand, "I am so sorry I could not be here sooner!", Flash's mom gave him a reassuring smile, "You don't have to be sorry!", Flash's feelings almost felt hurt hearing his mother say that
"Don't say that Mom, Please!". I promise on my life from this point forward She will be my number one priority, The Doctor assured Flash everything was okay and no surgery would be needed, but he did have some other bad news for Flash, "Uh, Son why don't you and I leave this room for a quick second and have us a talk!"
Flash looked confused and walked out the room with Doctor Strive, "Alright, what's wrong Doc?", The Doc massaged the bridges of his nose and took a deep sigh, Oh No!, That can't be good", "Son, the hospital bill is over $15,000!, You better have a game plan of some sort or you and your mother will be in debt"
Flash put his hands over his headOh No!, That's even worse!, Flash looked back at the doctor and gave a fake smile, "Oh Um, well we'll find a way don't even worry about it", The Doctor put his hand on Flash's shoulder, "Well I suppose you wan't some alone time with you mother, so I'll be off, but you have 20 minutes!"
Flash walked inside the room and sat next to his mom, I can't scare her with the hospital bill, uh come on Flash think of something quick, "So Uh I saw a few papers about our House on the kitchen table!", Sabrina's Eyes widened and she kind of blushed in embarrassment
"I'm Sorry Flash, I should've told you sooner, but I couldn't afford to pay the bills anymore and I couldn't watch you work so hard everyday for my problems", Flash couldn't help but blame himself about the tough times him and his mother are going through financially, "I haven't found any buyers for the house yet, but if we do all our money problems will all vanish"
"But, where will you live?, I'm gonna be looking for an apartment all summer for college and I can't live you alone!",
Sabrina smiled, "Well I'm gonna be living with Cranky Doodle of course", Flash's eyes widened. he crossed his arms and started stroking his chin, Of course I trust Mr. Cranky Doodle, I've known the guy since I was 14, but them living in the same house, I'm not sure I'm entirely sold on that idea, Flash was about to say another word before he looked to his right and saw that his mother fell right to sleep
Flash couldn't help but start smiling at the sight of his Mom fast asleep, he whispered to her ear, "Goodnight Mom!", before he kissed her on the cheek, but instead of leaving he decided to wait the last 15 Minutes sitting by his mother's side just in case of anything, but something still was on Flash's mind
Dammit!, Where am I supposed to get at least $20,000, I don't even know the value of our house to begin with!, I gave all that prize money away to a charity a while ago, My Job only pays me $100 a day which isn't bad but I need to get more money, not to mention J.Jonah Jameson won't fork over that kind of cash, Flash could feel his teeth clenching just by the thought of the money but he couldn't get it out of his mind.
"Why did I throw out my winnings from the Wrestling thing, if I was smart enough then maybe I could've kept it and used it all for her", Every time they ran into a problem Flash blamed himself for it due to his inability to prevent it
After 15 minutes Flash decided to go back to his car and head for the Mall , "Well with mom out of commission, the food court is my only hope for food!", Flash started up his car and drove off,
*****
Flash pulled up into the parking lot of the Mall, and got out of his car, "Well I $100 is more than enough for something", Flash walked to the Mall entrance and was about to get his phone out when he realized he didn't even charge it, "Oh Man go figure"
Flash walked towards the food court and got the one thing that his Dad always used to eat at his age, "Alright, Sloppy Joes!, Here I come!", Flash got out his $100 and stood in the line and waiting when he noticed on tiny detail out of the corner of his eye, Wait?!, Who's in front of me?", Flash looked up and saw red and yellow hair, Oh Shit!?, Flash panicked and put his hoodie on and looked down to look unrecognizable, How is she always in the same places I'm at?!, it makes no sense!, Flash stood at that line very uncomfortable seeing his Ex and someone who definitely has bad blood with him right in front of him
Eventually both Sunset and Flash got their food and went their separate ways, Flash jolted out of the mall to eat in his car and Sunset went back to her friends
Flash got back in his car and ate as fast as he could and started up his car, "Jeez I should go home now", Flash drove home trying to process everything that has happened so far today, My Best Friend came back from Europe to stay for a little while, My Mom is in the hospital, her bills are through the roof, and I almost had a run in with Sunset Shimmer, Flash took a deep sigh, "For once I wish I could rest easy!"
Flash was driving home when he turned on the radio news to get his mind off of his Mom in the hospital, Breaking News on the hour!, Flash's eyes widened and he looked for a nearby parking lot, A Fire has engulfed an Apartment Complex on Firefly Ave, "That isn't too far from Sugar Cube Corner", There are believed to be a child trapped inside
Flash stepped on it and drove towards Sugar Cube Corner, "Alright I'm gonna park my car there, go to the Apartment Complex and", Flash opened the Glove Box in his car and grabbed his Camera, "GET PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN", Flash impersonated Mr. Jameson in annoyance
Flash got near Sugar Cube Corner,"Alright, this is where the fun begins!, he changed into his costume and swung out of his car, "WOOOO!"
Spider-Man Swung towards Firefly Avenue and he heard Fire trucks on their way, "Huh?!, Firetrucks driving towards Firefly Avenue! How Ironic, I think?!", Spider-Man followed the noise of the Sirens and no not the broken voices of The Dazzlings
Spider-Man landed on the top of a fence next to police cars and questioned one of the Police, "Officer Whistles", He saluted her only to get a gun pointed at him, "Nice to see you to mam", Spider-Man sighed, "So what's all the hullaballoo about?"
Before Officer Whistles got a word out Spider-Man heard a screaming woman but not just any random lady it was the principal of Crystal Prep, Mrs. Cadence, who was also crying, "HELP!, PLEASE!, MY BABY IS TRAPPED IN THERE!", Mrs. Cadence was held by a man with blue hair and artic white skin who looked very familiar to Spider-Man, Wait where have I seen that person before
Spider-Man shrugged and swung over to where the fire was, "Well let's hope I'm not burnt to a crisp by the end of this!", Spider-Man swung in through a window, and looked around for a child, "I swear who leaves their kid in a fire", Spider-Man looked around to find any sign of a kid somewhere but he was having a hard time
"Ugh!, I can't see anything there's too much smoke everywhere!", Spider-Man was about to give up when he heard a a baby crying, "I think that's my cue", Spider-Man followed the noise and was directed to a bedroom and he saw a baby inside a crib
Oh my god Babies crying are way more louder than I anticipated, "Uh... There there, I think?!" Spider-Man grabbed the baby only to get bitten on the finger, "OW!", Ok Spidey just hold in the pain I mean you've been through worst
"Alright uh, kid hang on!", Spider-Man held on to the baby as tight as he could, he backed up and ran towards the window to jump out, "Don't hurt this kid, don't hurt this kid, don't hurt this kid", for the first time Spider-Man was hesitant to do a stunt because of some baby in his arms
Spider-Man jumped out the window and spun a web as fast as he could to land on, "Okay, I am never, ever taking someone else and doing crazy aerodynamic stunts ever", He looked at the baby, "EVER!", Instead of crying the baby giggled at Spider-Man's expense, Spider-Man just rolled his eyes and ran over to Mrs. Cadence
"Hey wow, this your kid, yeah you're welcome, hey next time put the crib in your room", Spider-Man shot a web and swung off, "GOD BLESS YOU SPIDER-MAN", screamed Ms. Cadence, meanwhile Spider-Man swung towards his camera and checked the photos he took and was legitimately impressed, "Let's see J.Jonah Jameson turn these down", Spider-Man changed out of his costume and ran to his car, "Alright let's get to the Bugle and get home
Author's Note
So in the original 1963-1985 Spider-Man run there would always be a running gag, well maybe not gag but it happened a lot, where Aunt May would get sick and always end up in a hospital, So I decided to have Flash's Mom have that same fate, for better or for worse, anyways I also decided to give Flash's Mom a name because I finally got tired of writing out "Flash's Mom" almost all the time
