“They’re out there…” Murmured J Jonah Jameson, peaking
between a pair of blinds at his window to look outside. His eyes were bloodshot
and had dark bags underneath.
“Who Jonah?” Asked Miss Brant, peering over the frame of her
boss’s door to see him spying outside.
“THEM! They, them, the who, them they… Spider People!”
“Boss, have you slept?”
“WHO CAN SLEEP WHEN WE GOT A GAGGLE OF WALL CRAWLERS
SWINGING AROUND THE CITY?!” He yelled, his eye twitching while reaching for a
mug of coffee and finding it both cold and empty. “BRANT! We need more coffee…”
“Yes sir, boss.” She chirped, getting up to get a refill.
Out of sight, Miss Brant looked around the rest of the office and gave everyone
a silent ‘DAFUQ?!” gesture with her hands that led the entire floor staff to shrug
and shake their head.
Joe Robertson stepped into Jameson’s office with a knock of
the door frame to find his boss standing on his office chair, holding himself
tight while looking out the window. “Boss, the staff and I have been talking
and…
“Talking? About those menacing WALLCRAWLERS terrorizing they
city? They’re multiplying you know, there must be DOZENS of them swinging
around the city… We have to warn the city Robertson!”
“Yeah… About that…” Putting his hands in his pockets and
rocking back and forth in his shoes, the man looking around the office to find
several empty mugs, torn sheets of paper and a jar with yellow fluid he didn’t
want to identify. “The higher ups and I have been talking and we think you
should head home for some rest.”
“WHAT?! But who will keep watch over the city?”
Wrapping a blanket around the man, Robertson shushed J.J.
and guided him out of his office towards the elevator. “It’s alright Jameson, I’ll
get one of the interns to keep an eye out there for ya.”
“Good! Good… He’s a menace I tell ya, they ALL are!”
“Yes, they are J.J… Yes, they are…” Guiding him to the
elevator where a couple of security guards helped him to his car, Robertson
returned to the floor and went to Jameson’s office to open the windows and pick
up the coffee mugs. The moment he did, the man witnessed an entire crowd of
spandex wearing spider people swing around the corner of a skyscraper. One
looked like a woman in a full red spandex with a spray-painted spider on her
naval give him a ‘rock on!’ gesture before swinging away to catch up with the
others.
Squinting his eyes and shaking his head, them man turned
around and walked out the door.

“FOR ASGARD!!!”
Falling like a comet into a horde of green skinned brutes
invading the city, Thor had her hands full. They came out of nowhere, like a
tide through the woods and stormed the front gates of the golden city. Green
skinned brutes with sharp tusks rampaged through the streets with inhuman
strength and resilience. Plastered in red warpaint and wielding crude weapons
made from stone and tree branches.
Many were stunned from the lightning blast from Mjolnir, yet
more kept coming. There had to be hundreds of them, a warband of green skinned…
Orcs that smashed and bellowed out with each strike against her and her people.
Lifting herself back up and raising her hammer above her head, Thor cast bolts
of lighting across the battlefield, stunning the massive green beasts. But for
each one she struck, two more took their place. Surrounded, Thor was prepared
for a fight.
“Above you your highness!” Called out Sif, landing next to
her leader with sword ready. “We shall face these brutes together and show them
the might of Asgard!”
“Aye Sif, they will know the wrath of Asgard!”
Striking one orc after the other, the two goddesses smashed
and cut every green skinned beast that lunged for them. The ground quaking from
each impact and the sky lighting up with thunderbolts that struck the offending
warriors.
But then the biggest orc they had ever seen landed in front
of them, roaring so loud his voice shook the windows of the ruined township,
wielding a pair of stone axes in either hand. His breath stank like a furnace
and drool escaped his tusked lips before he brayed out an attack and swung with
the tree-trunk sized weapon in his fist.
Even with their combined strength, this monster outclassed
them, the impact sending them tumbling to the ground where Mjolnir tumbled and
landed heavily nearby. Slowly coming to, Thor and Sif were pinned by the giant
Orc, while the rest of the warband cheered at their victory. One of the green
skinned beasts pulled a horn from a ram’s skull from his belt and blew it to
call out to the rest of the orcs still entering the city. Looking up from her prone
position, Thor gasped at what followed the band of hundreds of monsters.
Sitting, bloated with child carried in by a palanquin held up by four orcs, was
the mother chieftess of the orcs.
Tall, powerful and curvaceous, the green skinned beast woman
was savage beauty personified. Covered in splashes of red and black war paint
and wearing a deer’s skull as a crown and beads of bone around her neck, she
wore nothing else. The orc chieftess rubbed the slope of her massive belly and licked
her tusks at the sight of the two goddesses her horde had captured. Behind her,
her entourage of advisors, commanders and spell casters, all female bore
massive pregnant bellies of their own, leering down at Thor and Sif with cruel
intent.
“Daddy Orc do good, Shulk reward daddy orc!” Standing up
from her seat, she had been lowered down to the ground where she stomped up and
pulled the massive brute close for a rough kiss, shamelessly reaching into his
loincloth to stroke at his length. Turning to face her horde and children, the
chieftess raised her fist.
“Shulk rule Asgard now! All hail QUEEN Shulk!”
Pinned to the ground and watching the warband cheer in
response, Thor managed to get a closer look at the 10-foot-tall she monster
leering down at her. Despite her pointed ears, jutting tusks and feline nose,
Thor gasped when she recognised her as Jennifer Walters.
