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

Flash sat in a Hospital waiting room, it'd been almost 5-6 hours, Flash didn't even know but what he did know was it was night time. He was waiting there, anticipating for the results, to figure out what happened to his Mother. His hands clasped together, covering his mouth while leaning forward.

A Doctor came to Flash, "Are you Sabrina Sentry's child, Flash Sentry?"

Flash glanced up at the doctor and rose to his feet, "Yes! How is She? What happened?" Flash was paranoid and understandably hasty to know what happened to his mother.

"Calm down kid. She's going to be just fine, the operation went successfully!"

"Well what happened to her?" Flash asked with urgently.

"Well..." He took a deep breath as he what he was about to say was not easy, "She suffered a sudden heart attack"

Flash's eyes widened in shock, his mouth hung open, "W-WHAT?"

The Doctor put his hand on the worried teenager's shoulder, "I know this is all too much to take in Flash. But I assure you, she's okay now."

Flash wanted to take the doctors word for it but he still felt worried about his mother, nevertheless witness her heart attack first hand. Flash let out a sigh, "Can I see her?"

"Of course. Come right this way." The Doctor gestured Flash to follow him and they went to the room where his mother would be staying in. They made it to the room and stopped at the doorway, "Here's where she'll stay for a week or two, I'll let you in for a bit, but you'll have to leave in a few minutes."

Flash walked inside the dimly lit room, he saw his mother, laying in a hospital bed with a physiological monitor, he was a bit relived to see her sleeping peacefully but he was still much to worried about her, he sat at a chair next to the bed and held her hand with both of his. "Mom.... please....." He felt tears stream down his face, "I don't want to lose you too."

Flash wiped the tears off of his eyes and tried to stay strong, "I promise I won't let anything else happen to you." His voice quivered. Flash stayed there for a while not leaving his gaze from his mother for more than a millisecond, until he'd have to leave."

Flash laid in his bed, it was a cloudy Tuesday morning, he hadn't really gotten any sleep because he couldn't relax knowing his mother was in the hospital. How could I stay calm when Mom's in the hospital..... UGH! I don't even want to go to school!

But Flash discarded the idea of not going to school, he needed to, his mother would want that from him, not wanting him to jeopardize his chances for getting into Equestria State. Flash threw his blanket off of him and got up to get ready before school.

After 10 minutes or so Flash walked down the stairs, no longer being able to vault the banister, He grabbed a cereal box, a carton of milk and a bowl. Setting all of those items on the table, he pulled up a chair and sat down, Flash poured the cereal in the bowl and grabbed the milk carton. But there was a problem, "Are you kidding me?!" There was no milk in the carton, it was empty.

"Great, just GREAT!" Flash crushed the carton with his hands and threw it across the kitchen, "What am I supposed to eat now?" Flash poured all the cereal back into the box, not wanting to waist any or eat it without milk.

Flash checked his pockets, he only had a $20 bill, he was running low on money, "Shit!" He grit his teeth, "Clearly the bugle won't pay me anymore now that Spider-Man's gone! I'm gonna need a new job!" Flash, now on an empty stomach got out of the chair and grabbed a denim jacket, deciding to maybe buy something along the way.

Flash emerged from his home, locking the door behind him and walked to the sidewalk, he was full of sadness and anger, it was unbelievable, his hate for Spider-Man was almost nothing to him compared to this. Flash shoved both of his hands in the pockets of the jacket and began walking down the street.

Flash made it to school again, it was still a bit of a breezy morning, the sky still cloudy but it wasn't raining which was luckily a plus. But his day would start off on a terrible note. Walking into the school he was tripped by none other than Curly Winds.

"Hey Geek sorry I didn't see ya there!" Curly was with some of his lackeys who laughed at Flash.

Flash got up and looked at Curly, shoving him away! "Hey you know what why don't you go bug someone else Winds", Flash snarled and. He stormed off so he could get to class

Curly Winds laughed glancing away from him to look at his lackeys and then glancing back, "Oh-ho! Someone finally grew a pair of balls!" He continued to jeer at Flash, "Aww, Why so grouchy Sentry? Did your Mom not breastfeed you this morning?"

Flash stopped in his tracks, his teeth clenched together and his eyes widening, "What did you say?" He turned back around to Curly Winds who was approaching him.

"Okay let me say it word by word, Did...your...mom....not...breastfeed you" He shoved Flash back.

Flash snapped, He jabbed at Curly Winds face almost immediately after he pushed him! This Motherfucker has the nerve to say things like that! I'm gonna beat the living shit out of him!The Punch made Curly Winds stumble back but Flash did not end it there.

He dived towards Curly, sending him and Flash to the ground. Flash continued to punch him in the face, all of Flash's anger towards him was finally being let out on him. Flash didn't even care if he was hurting him. But the weirdest part of that was Curly Winds couldn't get up, it was like Flash was stronger than him.

But then Flash was pulled back, not by one Curly Winds' goons but by Soarin! Soarin held Flash by the arms and stopped him further from doing anything he'll regret, "Hey, HEY! Easy Flash! Easy! Calm Down! Don't do things that'll get you out of here ya hear?"

But also at that point, Vice Principal Luna had arrived at the scene, her and her sister Celestia had seen enough, "Both of you, my office NOW!" though a gorgeous lady, she was also stern and strong willed. Soarin let go of Flash and Curly Winds got up, the side of his mouth stinging.

***

Principal Celestia sat at her desk with things like a computer, a pen holder, papers anything and everything she needed to run a school was on that desk. Flash sat on a chair which stood right in front of her desk, with Vice Principal Luna keeping a close eye on him, standing beside the desk.

"I must confess Mr. Sentry I'd never expect to see you at this office for doing something so... well violent." Flash was silent, he was way too mad and disappointed in himself for doing something like this, Principal Celestia let out a deep sigh and shook her head, "Look. I understand the relationship between you and Mr. Winds has been very rough, and I also know you've had a hard time this year, losing someone isn't exactly easy to cope with, even for the most strongest people. But somehow, somehow you kept a positive attitude throughout the year and I must say I'm very impressed with you, but hurting another student, especially on school premises is not acceptable and cannot be overlooked young man!" Flash knew she was right, but what was he supposed to do, life had been throwing him into so many tough situations and it also seemed like Principal Celestia didn't want to harshly punish Flash, but she had to do something to discipline him.

"Tell you what, I won't give you any suspensions or expel you, and I won't give you any detentions. But I will have a punishment lined up for you after school, something that will teach you some discipline" Flash got out of his chair and began to walk off but Celestia had some last parting words, "Oh an Mr. Sentry!" Flash turned his head back, "This stays between me and you." Flash nodded with a blank expression before walking out of the office.

He walked past Curly Winds, both of whom didn't even acknowledge or say anything to one and other. Vice Principal Luna poked her head out of the door, "Mr. Winds! You can come in now!"

Curly Winds walked inside the office, sitting in the chair Flash had just sat on only moments ago, "Mr. Winds. I am very disappointed we have to see each other again."

But before Principal Celestia could finish, Curly Winds stood up, "Look, I'm a man and I'm man enough to admit I made a terrible mistake, but punishing Sentry for standing up for himself?! Look whatever it is surely you could make me do it instead, I mean, it's all my fault were here."

Principal Celestia smiled but ultimately disagreed, "As I do appreciate you for standing up for a student and try to take the hit, Mr. Sentry must learn that violence is not something we condemn here at Canterlot High! And besides, we'll have something in line to make the both of you end your silly squabble."

Meanwhile Flash was walking to class being super mute, his whole morning became a rollercoaster too fast for him to brace for. But then he was met with Sunset and her friends, she was mad, furious almost when she heard about the whole fight, it'd been circulating around the school, meanwhile her friends were not as furious but were a bit worried for Flash.

She spoke, "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO HURT MY--" But Flash walked passed her, not even acknowledging her, not even wanting to be by her, not wanting to hear one of her gloating sessions, or as he liked to think of it as,Sunset screaming out of her mind, he was too focused on too many things.

Sunset called out again, "HEY! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME SENTRY?!"

That was it. That was Flash's last straw, turning around he let all his anger get the best of him, "Oh my god you just cant shut up can you!" Sunset took a step back, she'd never hear Flash like this before. But she also wasn't about to take that.

"If this about me then why don't you--"

"Put a sock in it!" Flash angrily interjected. "If you want to talk shit about me. Than do it in your songs and go full fucking Taylor Swift on me! I won't even care cause honestly you're the last person besides your boyfriend I want to see right now. So shut up and LEAVE ME ALONE!" Out of anger he slammed the side of his fist into the locker. Putting a good dent into it. Flash stormed off, not even giving Sunset a glare.

Sunset stood there. Completely silent and a little shocked at what she just saw and heard from Flash.

Applejack rolled her eyes, "Uh.. Sunset he kinda has a point. Don't ya think you've bashed on him long enough?"

Sunset glanced at Applejack. "What?!"

Rarity let out a sigh, she too believed Sunset's little hatred for Flash had gone on long enough, "Honestly Darling, shouldn't you just stop by now, I mean he's had so much on his plate to deal with for a while, way too much for anyone to handle."

Rainbow Dash chimed in, "Yeah, I mean look at Twilight right now!" She pointed at Twilight who looked a mess, her eyes widened, her glasses crooked, hair all frizzed out and she looked very, very insane."

"4.0-NO 5.0 GPA! I....MUST.....UNIVERSITY!", Yeah Twilight was a bit of a mess mentally too, she was giggling very crazily.

Rarity turned back to Sunset, "Look what I'm trying to say is, leave the poor boy alone!" They all glanced at Flash who was at his locker, "He probably needs some more than anybody right now."

Sunset began to frown. Realizing that maybe she should back off.

Flash was walking down the street to go to the library, but as he did he stumbled upon a newspaper distribution box, He took out a quarter he had and inserted into the coin slot, opening the case and taking out the newspaper. The reason it caught his eye was because of what the headline said.

"CRIME RATE DRASTICALLY INCREASE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS! WHERE ARE YOU SPIDER-MAN?!"

The headline newspaper basically talked about how crime in Canterlot City had increased since Spider-Man's 'Disappearance'. Flash frowned a little, the city was becoming a criminal hotspot without him and there was nothing he could do to stop them.
