It was just an ordinary day for Peter Parker. He went to school, took spidey pics to the Daily Bugle, and fought criminals all night long dressed as his alter ego, Spider-man. Yep, just an ordinary day.

He left the crime scene leaving the criminals dangling from the streetlight for the police to handle. He had to get home before Aunt May started to worry about him.

Peter swung across town until he reached the ledge where he kept his clothes. He grabbed them and was on his way home until he heard a shriek.

Of course Spider-man couldn't ignore a cry for help. He swung towards the mayhem taking a detour from his normal route. Peter was happy to find that the problem wasn't anything like Doc Ock and the Sinister Six. It was just an ordinary, everyday thief trying to steal a woman's purse.

"Look, okay, I really don't have time for this. So let's get this over with, quickly. Hand over the purse."

The thief took off running.

"Okay it's just going to be one of those nights isn't it?" Spider-man shot his web to a nearby building. He propelled himself forward. He ended up in front of the frightened thief.

The shadow of the alley made Spider-man look menacing and the moon made his reflective lens's glow. "I said hand. Over. The. Purse."

The thief threw the bag at Spider-man's feet and ran.

"Hold up. Where do you think you're going?" Spider-man inquired as he shot a web that pulled the thief back. Spider-man tied him up and returned the purse to the woman.

While Peter was swinging home his phone rang. Peter stopped on top of a building and took the call. "Hey, Aunt May. Yeah. I'm on my way. Okay. See you in a bit." Peter said and he hung up. He pulled his mask over his mouth and left the top of the building.

Meanwhile…

A dark limo pulled up on the curb. The black window rolled down so the man could see his employer's face. "So you willing to take up on the offer we talked about last night." Said a man with a heavy Brooklyn accent.

"Yes. I'm just a little nervous." The man said trying to look for the man who he was speaking with, but he was in the shadows.

"Look, there's no nervousness in this gig, kid. Either your in or your not. I ask again are you in?"

The man gulped and said a little shakily, "I'm in."

"Good. Boys, open the door for Mr. Gargan."

The door to the limo opened, Mac Gargan stepped inside.

"Come, sit. Let's talk business."

Mac sat down and looked across from him. Mac was taken aback when he saw who was sitting across from him. "Hammerhead." He managed to get out.

"Mag, drive us to Oscrop laboratories, would ya." Hammerhead said to the driver. Turning to Mac he said, "Enough small talk. We're going to Oscrop to meet up with a scientist from ESU. He's going to be the one conducting the… experiment."

Mac just nodded his head. He still wasn't sure about what he about to do. Sure he would become very powerful, but what worried him was splicing his blood with animal DNA. When he seriously thinking about changing his mind the black limo had already pulled up in front of Oscorp laboratories. As he thought about it he remembered back to about a couple weeks ago. When everything in his life was normal, well as normal as his life could be, he should've never had made that deal with Jameson.

Mac Gargan approached Mr. Jameson's desk warily. It was seldom that he ever got called to speak to Jameson, but he had said that it was important. When Gargan entered the room Mr. Jameson had his back turned to him and was looking out at the city. "Uh... Mr. Jameson." Mac said hesitantly.

"Oh, Gargan. Listen I have an important job for you to do. You know the boy who takes the pictures of Spider-man for the Bugle don't you?"

"Do you mean Parker? Cause if your talking about that Parker kid then, yeah."

"Mm hm, Parker. Peter Parker. What I want you to find out is how he takes these pictures of Spider-man. Got it. Sound easy enough for you."

Gargan was about to say something when Jameson interrupted him, "And don't worry you'll be paid fully."

Gargan looked at Jameson pointedly, "So you want me to spy on him?" He asked.

"Yes, isn't that what I'm paying you for! NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!"

Mac scrambled toward to the door and left. Mac had no idea what he had gotten himself into. He found Parker and followed him all day, but he always evaded him somehow. Like he knew someone was watching him. He followed the kid until he walked down a dark alleyway and when Mac followed him Parker was no where to be found. Gargan was left scratching his head. What was he going to tell Jameson?

When he gone back to Jameson's office Jameson was furious. So furious in fact that he told Gargan that he weak and useless. Then Jameson came to a realization and called someone up. After he was finished with his conversation Mr. Jameson had turned to him and said, "Gargan, I have a proposition for you? How would you like to have superpowers?"

And that had led to this moment now. Mac regretted his decision to go through with this, but now he had no choice.

Back to Peter…

The next day Peter got ready to go to school and he swiftly climbed down the stairs. He realized it that there were only a couple more weeks of school and then it would be summer. He thought of all the odd things that had happened the past year, and then he thought about things that had happened in the past two weeks. He had noticed that someone was following him and his spider sense went off when ever the man was near. Peter had managed to lose him, but he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Peter left for school with all these strange thoughts going through his head.

He approached M3 and saw his two best friends, Gwen, who he's had a crush on, and Harry, whom he's known ever since he was little. He walked up to them. "Hi, Gwen. Hi, Harry."

"Hey, Pete." Gwen and Harry said simultaneously, but Harry a little more sadly.

"I'm sorry you lost your Dad, Harry. I know how that feels. I know that feeling of revenge and sadness, but don't give into those feelings, Harry. Your Dad would have wanted you to continue living your life happily. Trust me on this one, okay."

"Okay, Pete. Just don't expect me to get over it all at once okay."

"I promise I'll give it time, alright." The school bell rang. "C'mon let's get to class."

Peter watched as Harry put his arm around Gwen's waist. The action made Peter's heart break but he was determined not to show it.

Later that day…

Peter dressed up like Spider-man was swinging over the city doing his daily rounds. He was passing block after block nothing seemed to be wrong so Spider-man turned around. Then he heard sirens. He followed the police squad to an antique museum.

He jumped onto the roof of the museum waiting for whoever was robbing the place to come out. Not even a second later a man dressed in green burst through the museum wall. Spider-man jumped down from where he was hiding so he faced the crook face to face.

"Hello, Spider-man. I've been expecting you." Said the man in green. Now that Spider-man got a good look at him he looked like a giant scorpion.

"Who are you?"

"Just call me Scorpion." He said. The Scorpion lifted his tail and spurt acid at Spider-man, which he dodged thanks to his spider-sense.

Spider-man's eyes widened as he said, "Okay. Wow."

I want to know what you think of my perception about what should have happened in Season 3. Leave a review telling me if you like the story so far.
