Ch: 209 [Shaw- The bald gorilla]
"You," Shaw said, pointing at Emma. "I want you."
A wisp of wind passed by Shaw as he froze in his steps. He felt an arm around his neck and heard an unfamiliar voice. "You can't be serious. Are you seriously so arrogant that you think you can take her from me?"
Shaw's instinct kicked in. The amount of bloodlust he felt from this person was insane. He wondered how many people had died at this person's hands for him to have this much pressure. It was obvious he was in the presence of a real psychopath. But when his eyes fell on this man's arm, his eyes widened.
"Spiderman," He said, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Yeah, they are mine and you can't have what's mine, let alone threaten them. You see, I don't give a second chance to people like you... Taking hostages, threatening, creating chaos, and many other things I could list out... But I'm a busy man. So, I'll just kill you here and prevent any future problems," Spiderman said in a monotonous voice.
"Kill me? Well, you can try," Shaw slammed his feet on the ground with his powers and the entire area shook. The kinetic energy he absorbed before coming to meet Emma, erupted from his body, causing multiple energy blasts. Fiery heat waves emerged as the ground cracked open. The walls around them shattered, but to his surprise, there was a barrier of some kind, preventing the energy blasts from causing more destruction. And Spiderman didn't even move. He just stood there beside him with his arm around his neck.
Emma created a psionic shield around her and Chat. She watched as the energy blasts collided with Spiderman's barrier. Shaw tried to absorb the energy he just released, but he couldn't.
'What the hell is going on?' Shaw thought to himself. 'Why can't I absorb this energy?'
Spiderman didn't flinch as Shaw released waves of kinetic energy, nor did he seem particularly impressed. The shimmering barrier held firm, absorbing the blasts with ease, leaving Spiderman standing as calm as ever. His arm remained casually draped around Shaw's neck as if they were old friends.
Shaw's frustration increased, and he glared at the web-slinger. "You bug... You think you're so clever, don't you?"
Spiderman tilted his head, mock-puzzling. "Clever? No, not really. I just think I'm the guy who's going to kill you. But before that... Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Before Shaw could react, the world around him cracked like a mirror and the space bent, and in the blink of an eye, they were no longer in the alley. They were in the Mirror Dimension.
Shaw blinked as he looked around, the twisted reflections of New York City warping around them. Buildings bent at impossible angles, floating pieces of debris hung in mid-air, and the sky seemed to fold in on itself. It was disorienting, but for Spiderman, this was all part of the fun.
"Welcome to my playground, Shaw," Spiderman said with a grin beneath his mask. "You should feel special. Not many people get a personal tour."
Shaw tried to summon his powers, willing the kinetic energy he'd absorbed to give him strength, but nothing happened. The laws of physics were different here, and it seemed his powers were taking a little vacation.
"Feeling a little powerless, huh?" Spiderman asked, walking around Shaw in a slow circle. "Don't worry, I've got some fun stuff planned for you. Just hang tight and enjoy the ride."
Suddenly, Shaw felt something strange. A pungent, overwhelming smell entered his nose. His nose crinkled in disgust. It was like someone using an oxygen mask, but instead of oxygen, it's Hydrogen sulfide mixed with something even worse. "What… what is that smell?!"
Spiderman snickered. "Oh, that? I call it the 'Magic Fart.' Really leaves a lasting impression, doesn't it?" He waved his hand, and the smell intensified.
Shaw coughed, trying to wave the foul air away. "You're… you're a child!"
Spiderman shrugged, clearly having the time of his life. "Nah, just a guy who knows how to have fun. You know, life doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. Sometimes, it's about the little things. Like this. Besides, you should enjoy it. You are gonna die after all." He snapped his fingers, and Shaw's hair—previously neat and tidy—began to fall out in clumps. In its place, thick, curly hair sprouted all over his face, arms, and legs. Within seconds, Shaw looked like a cross between a bald man and a gorilla.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Shaw yelled in rage. That smell was still around him and now this.
Spiderman laughed. "I think it looks good on you. If I sell you to a zoo, do you think they'd give me a good price for you?"
"You'll regret this!"
"You know, you keep saying that... but no, I really don't think I will."
"Turn me back, NOW!"
"Don't worry, big guy. It's temporary. I mean, unless you like the whole 'King Kong' vibe, in which case, you're welcome," Spiderman said, stifling a laugh.
Shaw's face twisted in fury as he clawed at the ridiculous hair, but it was no use. The Mirror Dimension was under Spiderman's control now, and Shaw was just along for the ride.
"You little pest!" He yelled in anger. "When I get out of here—"
Spiderman raised a finger to shush him. "Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. 'When I get out of here, I'll make you pay,' blah blah blah. Here's the thing... You're not getting out."
Shaw's face turned red with anger. He clenched his fists, trying to summon all the kinetic energy he could. His body trembled, and for a moment, it seemed like he might actually do something. But his energy dispersed instantly. Then Spiderman waved his hand again, and an oversized clown outfit appeared on his body, complete with floppy shoes and a big red nose.
"Ta-da!" Spiderman announced. "You're officially the scariest clown I've ever seen." He took out his phone and snapped a couple of photos. Shaw looked ready to kill.
Shaw growled, beyond words now. He was ready to tear Spiderman apart. He ripped off his clown jacket in anger along with his shirt, revealing a vest strapped with explosives. 'Good, they are still there.' The sight of it gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction. "You think this is a game? I'll show you what real power looks like!" He yelled before quickly pulling the trigger.
A deafening boom shook the Mirror Dimension, releasing a massive shockwave of energy.
For a moment, the world warped and twisted wildly. The skyscrapers bent even more, the streets seemed to ripple like water, and the entire dimension quaked under the release of energy. Shaw, grinning like a madman, absorbed the kinetic energy from the explosion, feeling his strength surge.
"I'M UNSTOPPABLE!" he roared, his body glowing with raw energy.
Spiderman yawned, clearly unimpressed. "Yeah, yeah. Big boom, lots of energy. Seen it all before. How does it feel to have a little ray of hope before POOF!?"
Without breaking a sweat, Spidey waved his hand again. Shaw's glowing energy suddenly fizzled out, leaving him standing there, panting, and somehow even hairier than before and exhausted.
"What the—" Shaw looked down at himself, confused.
"My domain, my rules," Spidey wrapped him up in a cocoon of web and let him dangle upside down on a light pole. "Let me see... what else can we do..."
Spiderman put his hand on his chin, thinking. Then he snapped his fingers. "Oh, I know!"
Shaw's eye twitched. He was on the verge of losing his mind. His powers weren't working, he looked like a clownish gorilla, and now, his one last-ditch effort had failed spectacularly. 'Please, don't.'
"How about I roast you alive?" Spidey asked. His earlier funny tone was now replaced with a serious one.
"Let me go. I'll leave the city and never come back. That's a promise." Shaw begged.
"See, I would believe you, but your word doesn't mean anything to me. All you villains say the same thing, and then the minute you're free, you return to your old ways," Spiderman said as he started to manipulate the surroundings creating a makeshift grill and using his magic to light fire under the post where Shaw was dangling.
"What are you doing?" Shaw asked, trying to break free. But his body was too exhausted.
"I told you, I'm roasting you alive," Spiderman said in a monotonous voice. "And shut up. You are breaking my concentration."
"Fuck! You insane bug!"
"Tsk." Spiderman jumped up, grabbed Shaw's head, and twisted it. The loud crunch of Shaw's neck snapping filled the air, and he died instantly. "Damn it. I wanted to roast you alive. But you talk too much."
