2013-10-24 Cutscene: Proper use of Power

Proper use of power

John Coltan was in some serious thought of what to do with his life now. The words of Spider-Man kept ringing in his mind and ears, on how and why he made the choice to become a hero.

"I had to learn the hard way when I didn't stop something from happening there were consequences, and that people got hurt." He chooses his words carefully. "When I first got my powers, I was a big showoff, on the news, Johnny Carson. When I was making an appearance somewhere a guy was robbing the set. I let him get away. It was none of my business. Why did I care? Later on that night I got home and found the guy I could have easily stopped had killed someone.. Very close to me."

The talk of using their powers for themselves also kept going through his head and mind.

Spider-Man Said, "I had to learn the hard way when I did things selfishly or crazy, that it was other people who paid the price. Ones that died that I could have saved if I wasn't show boating. People that my actions put at risk then if I had only been paying more attention. And really, there's not much I can do. I mean, I'm pretty much a Mexican jumping bean, and if you've ever been to Cirq Del SOleil, they're pretty well covered in that."

Even John admitted the backlash of Karma. "Yeah any such action where you want to do something for your self with such gifts. You gotta do it extremely carefully. Or Karma turns around and bites you in the ass." John at least is thinking, clearly not some selfish bastard, but doesn't want to be utterly chained to the live of a hero 24/7."

As he stood up he looked to Gotham city across the harbor, and wondered. It was from the heroes of the other world, perhaps he could seem wisdom there. He had fantasies of being a hero growing up, now he had that chance. How many kids grow up dreaming of becoming a hero, and actually have that dream come true. Spreading his wings he took to flight, careful to watch the area as Cyberdragon headed to Gotham City limits if only to scope out the area, he would need to talk to the avengers before he actually crossed the city line. He didn't want to get in trouble or make S.H.I.E.L.D. think he was blowing them all off. Recalling Jen's words of how the local super hero often told Heroes to leave his city, perhaps this hero, could give him the wisdom he sought as hard and harsh as he sounded. Someone to shatter the illusions of boyhood fantasy.

This would not be pleasant, and he knew it.
