Flash Sentry the Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #1: The Green Goblin

It was a cloudy Friday Morning in Canterlot. As usual, the school grounds were flooded with students. Flash had opted to walk. More or less so he could think more about the recent developments in his life.

Well, to tell you the truth. He at this point accepted that these powers were apart of him now. The bigger question though was what he was supposed to do with them. I mean he wasn't gonna lie, the possibilities were endless!

"Well I mean...could I do a movie or something? Be a stuntman? Wait, is being public with something like this a good idea?!"

Curly Winds was with his gang: The Football team.

He, Soarin' and the rest of the team were just talking about the upcoming season. How they had to clinch back-to-back championships. Having won the prior season.

"Yo, so the season opener's against Crystal Prep," said Curly. "So we are gonna be in for a bunch of hecklers."

"Well that sounds like a fun Friday afternoon," Soarin' said, rolling his eyes, "Any good news?"

"I think Royal Pin's still out this year. So I think we got the game by its ass." Curly Winds turned his head to look forward. Before spotting Flash. His lips curved to form a smirk. "Ey, Dork twelve o'clock!"

"So." Soarin' shrugged.

"Well, early morning tackling practice sounds good to me."

Soarin' and the rest of the group laughed. "Oh, well I mean if you think so. Knock yourself out."

Curly Winds chuckled. Getting a running headstart to do the deed.

Flash walking straight to the door. Just for the life of him, trying to figure out what he was even supposed to do with Spider Powers. "What if I started a YouTube channel?" He looked down. "Ohhh...well then I'd had to explain myself to Mom and Dad...Maybe I should take a step back with this whole--"

Suddenly, his eyes went wide. As that static ring in his head went off. Or, his "Spider-Sense" if you will. He became very self-aware of his surroundings. From the wasp flying above him, all the students in the schoolyard and their different interactions. To Canterlot's star quarterback running right at him.

Without any hesitation or second thought. Flash launched himself in the air. Somehow executing a somersault. Narrowly avoiding Curly Winds. Landing right behind him.

Curly Winds widened his eyes, stopping in his tracks after witnessing that. Heck, Soarin' and his friends were just as surprised by that.

And well, needless to say, Flash wasn't shy in that spectrum. As he was too surprised to even comprehend what had just happened.

Curly Winds looked back at Flash. A slight curl on his lip. "Huh? The fuck was that?"

Flash got up slowly. "I could ask myself the same question."

"Uh, hey there."

Curly approached Flash. Intimidating the protagonist immensely! "Sentry, you trynna show me up or something?"

Flash nervously grinned. "Uh, n-no! What, why would you--"

Curly smirked sinisterly. "Listen, Sentry, there's a fine line between you and me. Alright?" Flash stood there pretty blank. Not knowing how to respond. So it prompted him to reiterate, "I'm the predator your the prey! Y'know: The food chain!" He raised his arms, making Flash flinch. Prompting him to chortle and walk off to his friends

Once he was gone. Flash scowled and sighed. Cursing in his breath "Fucking hate that guy..."

Mrs. Harshwhinny was teaching as usual. "And that is the malnutrition situation in South Sudan." She clicked her monitor to turn to the next slide.

Flash though, could care less about what was being taught. Right now his mind dwelled on so many different things that the lesson could be the least of his problems.

However, what would be said next managed to catch his attention.

"Alright, so right about now, we are in the middle of the unit. So it's safe to say that we'll be having a group project coming up. And since I'm feeling rather generous, I'm going to allow you to choose your own groups of four."

Flash and Rainbow Dash widened their eyes. Not because there was a project or the fact that it was to be done in groups.

Flash dropped his shoulders, "She's feeling generous!?"

"I know," Rainbow Dash replied. "I didn't think I'd see the day"

Mrs. Harshwhinny glared at Rainbow Dash. "Did you say something Miss. Dash?"

Rainbow Dash tensed up, shaking her head in denial of that. "Uh--No!"

"Alright..." Harshwhinny looked back at the class to reiterate. "So, I'm all going to give you all a moment to get up, look around and form a group. But that being said! If none of you get anything done to the deadline, then I'll be choosing groups next time around."

Flash sighed. "Well I'm not too socially awkward. It probably won't be too hard to find people--"

"Hey, Flash. Wanna be in a group?"

Flash's thought was cut off by Rainbow Dash. Glancing to his right to look at her. "Nevermind".

"Uh..." Flash shrugged, "Yeah sure why not."

"Great!" She turned around to look directly at Applejack and Sunset Shimmer. "Alright, guys! I got our fourth member!"

Flash, was a bit oblivious at first. But looking in her direction, his eyes went to saucers. "hsgkjdslfu-HUH!?"

Applejack and Sunset approached the latter. Applejack took Flash's hand and shook it. "Well Howdy, Flash. Ah didn't know you were takin' this subject."

"Uh-I...Yeah. Yeah, I thought that this would be a cool class, and all that."

"Alright, so should we all get together at Lunch and start planning?" Asked Sunset.

"Ah, reckon that's the best course o' action." Applejack shrugged. "So Ah'm in favour of it."

Rainbow Dash looked at Flash. "Well, can we count on you to show up during lunch? Our table's at the far end of the Cafeteria."

"Uh, yeah." Flash shrugged. "I'll just tell my friends."

"I don't see the problem here." Sandalwood said in a deadpan tone.

"For the first time in my life, I agree with Sandalwood," said Micro Chips. "This all seems perfectly fine to me."

"Oh yeah! You can look someone eye to eye after FALLING ON TOP OF THEM!" Sandalwood and Micro Chips began to snicker, as that was a very fond memory for them. Prompting Flash to snap. "SHUT UP!"

The two managed to hold it in as they entered the cafeteria. where they tried cheering Flash up. "Look man, she's probably forgotten about it by now" said Sandalwood. "So, just chillax!"

Flash sighed, quirking his eyebrow. "Ya think so?"

"Yes," Micro Chips groaned, rolling his eyes. "Now that that's settled, I think you can go to their table without pissing your pants!"

"Well, what if--"

"Nope!" Sandalwood interjected. "I'm gonna have to stop you right there, bro! Don't even think about the "what if's". Just Goooo!"

He gave Flash a shove. A sign of encouragement on his end, a gesture of annoyance on Flash's. He sighed, "Well, here goes nothing..."

He made his way through the crowded cafeteria as always. Pretty much uncertain by his predicament. But were they right? Was he really just looking at the negatives? Well, he didn't know! Nonetheless, he didn't really have a choice out of this.

He eventually found their table. The Rainbooms' table. Occupied by the Main (well not "Main" in this story they're not!) Seven. Consisting of Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer.

"Hey, guys."

Rainbow Dash nodded her head at Flash. "Hey Flash, right on cue."

Flash pulled up an empty chair and promptly sat. But before he could say a word, he was greeted by the rest of the group of girls.

"Hello, Flash," said Rarity, "What brings you here today?"

"Just a class assignment," Flash shrugged. "It's for a Geography class."

"Harshwhinny?" Pinkie asked, popping out from behind Rainbow Dash's chair.

"Harshwhinny," Rainbow Dash sighed. "Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping that I wouldn't have her this year."

Sunset chuckled, "Well, I guess that's how the cookie crumbles Rainbow Dash."

"WHAT!"

Sunset flinched from Pinkie Pie's sudden outburst, "It's just an analogy Pinkie Pie. Calm down."

Flash just sat there, not really sure what to make of that moment. Well, I mean...given his current circumstances, I'm not sure that was exactly he could have anything to say on that.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, getting her group to just focus on the task at hand. "Okay, so who has an idea?"

Sunset cleared her throat and responded, "Well, the whole idea is to find a place that's horribly affected by Geography. So, in short, just find a place that has a 'shortage' of something natural."

"Okay, Okay, Applejack, what's your take?" RD asked.

"Well, think of the biggest problem. Lack o' food and water in places. That'd fit in with what we're' presentin'."

"Alright," Rainbow Dash glanced over at Flash, "Flash, your take?"

"Huh?!" Flash shook his head, as he was brought back into reality. "Well, I mean she said we don't just have to restrict to modern-day. We could also just take a look at events throughout history."

"Furthermore--"

"Twilight this doesn't concern you." Rainbow Dash deadpanned before her spectacled friend could chime in further, "This is sort of a, group thing."

Twilight stood there with her mouth open. Before promptly looking away, folding her arms and "hmph" ing at her rainbow maned friend. "Well, I have never been more hurt in my days. Never." She scowled at Rainbow Dash, pointing at her, "If you ever need my help in the future, I won't be there for you."

Sunset rolled her eyes, "Yeah okay--But, that does sound like a good basis. Maybe we should look at different famines and whatnot."

Flash widened his eyes a little, "Oh my gosh, she acknowledged me in a good way! and I didn't say anything to make things awkward. Aw man this awesome! (⌐■_■)"

"Alright, so then it's settled!" Rainbow Dash beamed, "You all go home today, and research stuff about famines within history."

Applejack quirked her eyebrow, "Don't ya mean 'we'?"

Rainbow Dash grinned slyly, as she got up, "I have a date with a soccer ball."

Applejack's shoulders dropped as she blankly looked at Rainbow Dash. As her friend began walking away, she put her foot out in her path and tripped her. Prompting Rainbow Dash to snarl at her farmer friend.

"YOU ASSHOLE!"

"Yeah, we ain't just gonna contribute while you sit on yer lazy ass." Applejack deadpanned, "You better get some info too, ya hear?"

"Alright, Alright. Don't get your panties wet!" Rainbow Dash scoffed, as she stormed off in a rage.
