Chapter 1

Power by spider

Chris and Alex walked through a murky ally in New York City. They were discussing Spider-man "Spider-man is awesome!" Alex said, excitedly.

"He is not awesome, He is wicked awesome!" Alex nodded energetically. "Shocker didn't stand a chance on the news!"

"Yeah, once I got his autograph!" Alex said

"No fair!" Chris whined. All the sudden Alex yelled in pain as a giant man grabbed him. "ALEX!" Chris shouted. Alex hit the man in the back, and when that didn't even slow him down. He kicked him in the soft spot. The man shouted in pain as he doubled over in agony.

When Chris caught up he said, "At least we know he's a man."

"No time, run!" Alex said. Chris grunted in agreement. As they turned to run the man punched both of them in the back. Alex went unconscious but Chris managed to stay awake. Then he fell into unconsciousness.

When Chris came conscious he noticed the man was tied up to the wall by something that looked like web. He looked around for his hero, but he wasn't there. Then he heard Alex groan. Chris helped him up. "You ok?" Chris asked him. Alex grunted. Chris sighed and grabbed his backpack up from off the ground, wiping off the dirt. "This sucks, this was brand new." Chris complained.

"Be happy it's still there, it looks like we were out for a while." Alex said, pointing to the sky. "What's he tapped to the wall with?" Alex asked Chris shrugged.

"It was like that when I woke up." Chris told him.

"We should hurry home; it looks like we were out for an hour." Alex said.

"This sucks; I was supposed to be home at four thirty, now it's at least five if not later." Chris complained.

"Stop your winning, lets' just hurry home." Alex said. Chris nodded in agreement and started jogging out of the ally way. Alex groaned, again, he hated running. He quickly started running after Chris who was already about ten feet in front of him.

When Chris got home his mom exploded. Or at least Chris hopped she would. "Where were you?! Why didn't you call!? I drove all the way to school to see if you hurt your self! And what did I find?! LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M YELLING AT YOU!! Where were YOU!?"

"I told you someone jumped me and Alex, knocked us unconscious, and was gotten by the magnificent Spider-man." Chris tried to explain.

"SPIDER-MAN WAS ON THE OTHER END OF TOWN!! So which was it, a date? If it was I will KILL you if it was with that disgusting Jenny Alens!"

"Really, Mom, We weren't dating someone. And Jenny is not disgusting!" Chris told her.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM MISTER! IF YOU CAN"T TELL THE TRUTH YOU ARE GROUNDED!!" his mom roared. Chris spun on his heel and jumped up the stairs of his two story house.

"Oh my god!" Chris said when he got in his room. "She is too stubborn!" Chris almost shouted. He threw himself on his bed and lay there. He pulled out his cell phone, which his mom had forgotten he had, and dialed Alex.

"Hello?" Alex answered.

"Sup?" Chris asked.

"Grounded sup."

"No fair!" Chris said. Alex wasn't grounded. It just wasn't fair. How come Alex wasn't Grounded but he was?

"Just messing with you, I'm grounded. My mom thinks I was dating that Merry Gibbons."

"As if, she'd be lucky to go out with a peace of trash, much less you." Chris said, Chuckling as he said it. "My mom thinks I was going out with Jenny Alens."

"I wish I was going out with her. Her blonde hair, her soft laugh, an-"

"Don't get me started." Chris said. "My mom thinks she's disgusting."

"If she's disgusting I don't want to think about what Merry Gibbons is." Chris laughed at the joke.

"Good one." Chris chuckled. "Have to go, my Moms coming up the stairs, later." Chris said before he shut his cell phone and hid it in his pocket. A second later his mom burst into the room.

"WERE YOU TALKING TO JENNY ON YOUR CELL PHONE?!" She yelled.

My mom has anger management problems. Chris thought. "No, Mom, I was talking about her with Alex."

"Did you call her disgusting?"

"Yeah."

"Carry on." His mom said before she closed the door and went back down stairs. Chris got up and started playing his Xbox. Ten minutes later his sides started roaring in pain. He staggered up in agony and collapsed on his back. He crawled over to his bed and pulled himself up onto it. His sides felt like his ribs were being pulled out. He pulled off his shirt and looked at his ribs. The lower half was all red. He groaned and passed out.

Through the night he would wake up in cold sweat, he didn't know where he was, he didn't know who he was. He dimly remembered that his ribs seemed like they were burning from the inside, and being slowly ripped out. He once reached and touched the main area where it hurt and felt no bone, no resistance to indicate bones either. He passed out many times only to awake again, always in agony. When he woke up for the final time it was four A.M. his sides now felt like a minor stinging feeling. He pushed himself out of bed and felt his ribs. They looked fine. He shrugged and washed himself with warm water, which was colder than it normally was. He decided that his mom must have had another hour long bath this mourning.

He started getting a shirt on when the pain returned. He staggered into his bed. When the pain again subsided he stood up. Only to realize he had Something growing out of his sides…

Alex got out of bed. His feet were sore and he was very tired. He was about to roll over and go back to sleep. When he realized that there was a tapping sound on his window. He walked over and looked between the curtains. There hanging on the wall, was his best friend with four arms.
