This is my newest attempt at a beginning of the Spider-Man story in a universe where the Avengers are already established. There will be elements taken from the various cartoons, comics (particular Ultimate ones) and the MCU. It will also be like the DC Comics WB shows in fanfiction form but more like Supergirl and the Flash than Arrow (as that tone would fit more Daredevil or the Netflix shows than Spider-Man). If you have any ideas that I can use for this story please PM me. The title comes from the prequel Spider-Man comic of the same name.
THanks to Rider Paladin for looking over this for me.
In Manhattan, New York City guys in ski masks were sneaking into the back of a bank which was closed for it was Sunday, "Get a move on guys, Hammerhead will not be happy if we get caught and he loses profit as well. You know how he is about people who loses him profit..." said the leader of the men sneaking around the back of the bank with their rifles ready.
They went and began getting to work getting the safe open but then they panicked when they heard the alarm being sent off, "Did I set if off kind of on purpose?" asked a youthful voice and they turned and saw what looked like a small man wearing a red full face mask, goggles and a red jumper with a black spider. On his wrists were gauntlet like devices. "I guess they will be here to arrest you any minute now." laughed the stranger.
"Okay wise guy you should not have but in where you are not wanted, kill this masked idiot!" ordered the leader as they began shooting at him but the stranger kept dodging the bullets with great athleticism as if he sensed them coming. He then fired a web like substance at their rifle and pulled them out of their hands to their shock. "Wait is it one of those masked freaks, trying to be like the Avengers or the Devil from Hell's Kitchen... Take care of him before the cops..." ordered the leader before the stranger took him and threw him at the other ones before tying them all up in web.
"I will leave these guys to the police once they get here." The stranger said as he exited by crawling up the walls to a vent like a spider.
My Name is Peter Parker; I am a fifteen year old from Queens, New York. I was raised by my Uncle Ben and Aunt May all of my life since something happened to my parents before I was even old enough to remember them.
I have been a prodigy in science and engineering for as long as I can remember, I was popular with my teachers but not with my fellow kids. They would make fun of me and pick on me. Besides my best friend Hobie Brown, I was not close to others my age.
During my summer vacation I attended a science demonstration at Empire State Universe, Professor Curt Connors showed off some results of research he had done on what he called cross-species genetics. Basically splicing animal DNA with human DNA hoping to find cures for diseases or grow extra limbs.
One of the spiders escaped and ended up biting me, putting me in the hospital for a week. I ended up better but I changed and it was incredible. I had fun with what it did to me but I had a chance to stop a criminal but I did not take it. Uncle Ben paid the price...
Deciding to use the new gift for good I decided I could be something else, someone else...
For with great power there must also come great responsibility...
Peter Parker a 15 year old brown haired boy in a white shirt and light blue short sleeves shirt that was over it (who had a backpack with him) along with a brown haired middle aged woman that was his aunt May Parker. They were walking into Empire State University, "I still don't see why Professor Connors still asks to check over you Peter, the hospital gave you a c clean bill of health." May told Peter with a shake of her head but Peter held back a snicker.
They walked into the main lab area where a blonde haired man in a labcoat and glasses missing his right arm and a strawberry haired woman in a labcoat was showing a young blonde boy cases with lizards in it. "Fred and Wilma are showing great promise..." said the man when he noticed Peter and May. "Nice to see you again Mrs Parker and Peter, I hope you are well." The man told them as the woman that was his wife then noticed them as well.
"Curt, how about I take Billy to play some games on the computer while you have your check up with Mr Parker here." The woman told the man who was Professor Curt Connors, taking their son Billy with her.
"I don't think we will be long Martha." Curt told his wife Martha waving after them. "If you would wait in the waiting area Mrs Parker, I know you think Peter is fit as a fiddle but I just want to be totally sure due to the bite." Curt told May who went to the waiting area of the lab. "Come on Mr Parker and there is something I want to ask about you." Curt told Peter in a more serious voice while Peter gave him a sheepish smile.
Curt took a sample of Peter's blood to analyse it and while it was analysing Curt showed him his phone which had a news video of a failed bank robbery the previous day and the CCTV footage showed a masked person foiling it but crawling away. "...Peter, I understand you are excited about what comes with your condition and I do understand you feel guilty about what happened to your uncle, but don't you think it might not be the best idea to draw this much attention onto yourself with that costume during the remainder of your summer vacation. Like with the goggles, is that supposed to be a substitute for a mask?" Curt asked as Peter brought out a pair of goggles from his backpack making Curt sigh when he realised Peter brought them with him.
"They help me focus with what the bite has done to my senses, plus since I was going for a spider motif I put this together out of some spare junk I found lying around and a concoction I managed to put together, my Web-shooters as I call them." Peter told him taking them out of his backpack and accidentally shooting a web at the desk while Curt covered it with his hand to prevent anyone from seeing it. Peter looked sheepish from the glare Curt was giving him and put everything back in his backpack.
"Well I realise you think you have a responsibility but I can't help but think you are using inspiration from the Avengers, Tony Stark has shocked the world with his fancy world saving armor..." Curt muttered but then realised Peter was looking behind him. Curt turned around and noticed a blonde haired man in a blue suit. "Colonel Jameson, how nice of you to pop by." Curt said shaking hands with the man.
"Couldn't help but hear you make snide remarks about a man that funds this little university." The man laughed and he noticed Peter who stood up straight to see him. "Who is this young man Professor Connor?." The man asked, looking down at him with a smile.
"Peter Parker a bright young man I have been seeing about a little accident that happened here, Peter this is Colonel John Jameson." Curt told Peter introducing the man to Peter.
"The astronaut hero who brought down a new element from Jupiter, and doesn't your dad own the Daily Bugle newspaper?" Peter asked and John then laughed putting his hand on Peter's shoulder.
"Yeah my old man built the Bugle with his own two hands and two days from now he wants me to have a photo op here with the rock for his newspaper, you are welcome to come along and see Mr Parker." John told Curt and he seemed to be looking down making John concerned. "Something the matter Professor?" John asked Curt concerned.
"I am still not so sure about this photo op, I have been doing tests on the rock and there seems to be readings from the spores inside but I am sure I can keep the rock safely contained if your father insists on it." Curt told John and he shrugged a little before leaving to meet with someone else. "As Colonel Jameson said you are welcome to attend with the rest of the public Peter, Mr Stark himself said he might be appearing." Curt told Peter excited at the prospect of seeing an alien rock and possibly taking an in person look at one of his science heroes as well as one of his favourite Avengers.
*S*
In a private gym a large man with a large forehead wearing a set of brass knuckles, a dark blue suit, a black shirt and a red tie was boxing with a boxing bag when some guys entered. "Mr Hammerhead sir, the preparations to steal the rock from the university are in place, we have more than enough men and we should have them in and have the rock stolen before anyone realises it is gone and the cops come." The man said nervously to the man Joseph Lorenzini who was known as Hammerhead.
"It had better, there has been a power vacuum since when that masked Daredevil guy put Fisk in prison and I am trying to fill that vacuum, didn't help when a simple bank robbery was foiled by some freak in a mask so I don't want any problems this time." Hammerhead told the man as one of his punches broke the bag away sending it a few feet in front of him. "Somebody will pay dearly if this is messed up!" Hammer head warned leaving the gym.
