Spiderman
Back in Black
Chapter 1
Introductions
15-year-old Peter Parker was running for his life. He was running from Flash Thompson.
"I'm gonna get you Parker!" yelled the tall teenager. This boy was chasing a small, weaker looking boy with big glasses.
"I forgot to do your homework just this once!" yelled Peter. He then got tripped on his shoe and fell down. He looked up and saw Flash grinning.
"This is for getting me a C in Bio..." He said as he pulled his hand back to punch and…
"Stop it Flash!" yelled a tall, beautiful red-headed girl. "You have no right to pick on him, he's the only reason your still on the football team!"
"So what, that's what little bookworms are for isn't it?" he said with a sarcastic smile.
The girl smiled and pulled up to him saying seductively "right, those stupid nerds with there 4.00 GPA's"
Flash smiled and put his arms around her and said "So you finally came around huh?"
The girl then said to him "oh, by the way, I have a 4.00!" She then kicked him in the shin.
"Oh !" yelled Thompson as he fell back. He then got helped up by the fellow jocks, gave the girl a dirty look, and walked away.
The girl then walked up to Peter and helped him up with a smile. "You ok Pete?" she asked kindly.
"Yeah, I guess so. Thanks Mary Jane. God, I just hate that guy. Why does he think I'm so useless except to do his homework! I have my own AP Bio to do along with his remedial crap!"
"It's alright Pete; most people aren't like that, I mean, look at Harry and Gwen! Gwen is a cheerleader and super popular, and Harry's a really smart kid that fits in… She then saw Peter put his head down and she realized he had just made him feel worse.
"Pete, I didn't mean to insult; I just wanted to show you have great friends who care about you, and a cousin who is like your freaking clone!"
Mary Jane was talking about Peter's cousin Ben, who had the same name as their uncle.
"So, how is he related to you again?" asked Mary Jane.
Peter yawned. "His dad Henry was Aunt May's brother."
"So he was your mom's brother's son…
"Yeah" said Peter quickly as he cut her off. Peter didn't like to talk about his parents. They were CIA agents who had died in plane crash during operation desert storm. This accident was caused by a stupid mistake by the President, and Peter had been an avid Democrat ever since.
"When did Ben's dad die?"
"Same crash, Ben's mom died there too. That's why we both live with Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
"Well, enough on that topic, ready for the field trip to the crater today?" asked Mary Jane.
"There's a reason you're my best friend, and that's because you know exactly what I'm thinking!" Said Peter with his first smile of the day. "I just wish we could be more than friends…" Thought Peter to himself. Peter was excited though. An asteroid had landed in the outskirts of New York and his AP bio class was taking a trip to it.
Well, at least the day couldn't get weirder… He said to himself.
Four hours later
"Harry wait come look at this crater!" Yelled Peter to his other best friend Harry Osborn.
"Sorry Pete, there's some cheerleaders over there that are calling my name!" The rich kid said while walking away. "I'll be right back!"
Fine, I'll look at it myself Peter said to himself. As he walked to take a picture of the crater, his foot slipped, and he fell into the crater.
"Holy !" he yelled as he fell down. When he landed, he realized he was in a pile of black goo. He stood up, and batted himself off.
Partner…
"Who said that!" He yelled.
We did
Just then the goo expanded and completely covered Peter's body. Peter twisted and turned then the goo became solid and skin tight around his body, making him look like he was wearing a black body suit.
"Whoa"
Chapter 2
Power
"What the heck! Oh my gosh oh my gosh..."
"Calm down dude! I'm not gonna hurt ya. In fact, looking threw your memories, I think I'm gonna help."
"First of, whose saying all this to me?"
"I am. You know the slime that just entered your bloodstream."
"Say what?"
"Ok, I'm searching your brain for a way to explain this. Let's see… Ok, I'm an alien creature that needs a host to survive. The host and I and I form a symbiotic bond where I share the nutrients and minerals of the host to survive while a I grant the wearer some, uh, super-powers, yeah super-powers, that's the word."
"Uh, how come you're using the slang and stuff we humans use." Peter asked neverviosly.
"I'm part of you now, so I share the memory, knowledge, and some of the personality of the host. I grow more similar to you as time passes."
"Right, so let's hear some of those superpowers!" Said Peter, suddenly excited. "This could be the perfect way to get back at Flash!"
"Uh, the way it usually works is the host uses the power for good and fights evil and stuff."
"So you've had a host before?"
"Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?"
"I have what you earthlings have, amnesia. I can remember how to work my powers and information and stuff, I just can't remember my past. Make sense?"
"Sort of. So, what about the powers?
"Well, first, as you've seen, I make this suit that you're wearing now. But, if you thin about any clothing outfit at all, the suit turns into it."
"No way. You have go to be kidding."
"Nope, go ahead, think about an outfit."
Peter then closed his eyes and thought about a red shirt with some jeans. When he opened his eyes and looked down, there they were.
"Holy crap that's cool. What else can the suit do?
"First, make the suit the way it was." Peter thought about it and he saw the jeans and shirt become black and combine to form the suit once again. "You could call this "default" mode, because this is the actual suit that has the other powers. First you have super strength and agility when in the suit. Go ahead and try it out. Try to jump out of this crater." Peter looked up and realized he was about fifteen feet down from the top.
"O.K, here it goes." He jumped and saw he cleared the hole by three feet, and fell back down. "That is so cool."
"Now try the super strength, jump out and punch the ground outside the crater." Peter did. He jumped out and walked about two feet away from the crater. He then punched the ground. It instantly fell into the earth and made the crater even bigger.
"That's sweet, I love this thing…" He then looked up and saw his bus ten feet away starting up. "Oh crap my bus!" he started to run towards it but the alien interrupted.
"You'll never check it that way. Quick, put your fist out towards it and imagine a thread connecting them."
"What!"
"Just do it!" Peter put his hand, clutched in a fist, and imagined a thread. Suddenly, a white rope like substance fell from his fist and attached to the bus.
"Now pull yourself towards the bus!" Peter did and he wet flying towards the bus until he almost hit the back. Peter then got a weird jolt and let go of the web right before he hit the bus. He ran towards the door and knocked on the door. The door opened and Dr. Connors, his AP biology teacher stood there. Dr. Connors was a tall man in a white lab coat with black, curly hair. He was missing his right arm, which was a casualty of the Persian Gulf War, in which he was a field surgeon.
"Where were you Parker, we were about to leave without you. Harry had been out there looking for you!"
"Sorry Dr. C, I guess I got carried away looking at the crater." Peter then went and sat down next to Harry and fell asleep.
"He opened his eyes to see a figure his size in the suit, except its head was a black mask with weird eyes and no mouth.(Spiderman eyes everyone.) Peter looked at the creature and said, "Where the heck am I."
"In your subconscious, this were we can talk face to face. Here I can tell you what else I can do, since it doesn't require an example.
Peter looked at him and said, "What's that mask you're wearing?"
"Oh, when you cover your face with the suit, this is what the eyes look like.
Speaking of eyes, right now I'm going through your body and eliminating any disease or defect, including your eyes."
Peter looked at him silently
"When I'm bonded with you, you can't get sick anymore and now you won't need glasses." He said while being annoyed.
"Sweet!" replied Peter, who at this point was ecstatic.
"That's it for the powers, but I'm not done yet, even though I'm totally awesome, I have weaknesses, like all creatures. First, fire and high-pitched sound waves and a no-no. If either of those things touches the suit, that part of the suit will retreat back in the bloodstream, and you'll be defenseless. But that's not the worst weakness."
"What is worse then being defenseless?"
"Your emotions are the biggest weakness, and the more were bonded, the more it affects us. Since I act of your emotions, if you're sad, then I'm sad, so the person we are, the Peter/suit will be affected. I know if you're extremely sad and in self-pity or guilt, the suit won't even activate. The other emotional status change is much worse though. It can be deadly to those around you."
"How! Said Peter as he was frightened"
" If were in an emotional state of hatred and vengeance, we both go unconscious. Not like this though, like really unconscious. Then something else takes over. I don't know what it is, but the last time it happened is the last thing I remember before bonding with you."
"What happened?"
"I woke up and there were about twenty people around me, bloody and dead. I had killed them all."
"Oh my God."
"That's why you have to keep your emotions in check alright!"
"Right, I'll make sure. Now I'd like to get some real sleep so we can try you out tomorrow…"
