A/N: Ok I'm trying a new angle: Dark, angst and AU (Ok Maybe not a new angle but meh). It is not, I repeat, not a goody-two-shoes everything going to be dandy after three or five chapters story.
When I first read a dark Spider-man fan fiction I was happy Yey! I had finally found one but 1st off, the thing wasn't completely what you'd call dark, there was only one kill and a lot of interference from Iron Man and M J. 2nd off, Peter didn't even want to be dark it was all the symbiotic fluid's fault.
But then I found The Spider-Overlord by DrZevil and wow! now that's a dark spidey fan fiction although it was a marvel/ overlord fan fiction if you're wanting to find it, although Spider-Man is the main overlord/character, ok only overlord and it is a harem like this one.

Warnings: Heavy bullying, Peter is normal… for now, Character death, Loner Peter, Super Flash(No I'm not a fan boy, and it's only temporary and I have something planned for him *Evil Laugh*), Mentions of the bottle by Aunt may(Don't worry she'll stop… eventually). Oh almost all characters are being bashed.

This story follows the Spectacular Spider-man storyline for the first few chapters or at least the villain order. Enjoy!

- (D-o-D Chapter 1: The Needle and The Chain Reaction) -

The scene is in the bedroom of a teen male in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. The boy is a brown-haired, hazel-eyed and with a nerdy/skinny build. The boy was clad in baggy blue jean-shorts, a red T-shirt and stereotype nerd glasses. He was currently sitting in an office chair in his dark laboratory-like bedroom; there was an office desk with clutter on it and a desktop computer with an image of someone on its monitor's display.

The teen was holding a syringe to his lower arm, more precisely towards a vein. Why was he holding this needle to his lower arm: probably due to his shitty life. Why hadn't he plunged the syringe into his arm? Mainly because he was searching, searching for that small sliver of light that usually made people in his position want to live. But like all searches you didn't always get what you first. Other things came up first like memories.

- (Flashback) -

"Hey Puny-Parker! What do you think you're doing with that spider?!" A bulky teen male called out to our now identified Parker. "Give Me That!" The other teen tried to take the spider 'Parker' was sending back to its habitat. "Ow! Stupid spider; it bit me, damn it" The jock (he was clad in a footballers jacket) yelled out.

Parker discreetly stole the spider and hid it in a glass jar and that glass jar in his jeans pocket. He would have run out if something hadn't caught his eye, his native scientific mind caused him to reach out to it before a voice called out to him.

"Peter!"

"Ok class time's up have a good after-noon!" Peter didn't get five paces from the room before a voice called him out. "Peter Parker!"

Peter turned around to see the famous nerd/beauty Gwendolyn Stacy calling him to her. He should have gotten out of there, he knew he should have but, curse his hormones and relationship seeking mind, he stayed and listened too. The reason he shouldn't have was because Gwen wasn't only known for her book smarts, she was also known for chewing boys up and spitting them out like they were pieces of gum.

"So… Pete I wanted to know if you'd like to go out with me this Friday night to Pepe's for dinner" Gwen asked in her usual sensual voice. Peter was shocked that, she, one of the wanted girls in Midtown High and also one of the biggest sluts was asking him out. There were even rumors going around she'd slept with a guy in ESU; some Eli or Edmond or Eddie if Peter remembered correctly.

Peter being to dazed to speak just nodded his, damn, head shyly. Wrong move that one was, very wrong move

Peter sometimes wondered if… just if he had shaken his head at least one thing wouldn't have added to his already miserable. Even if he had everyone would understand, they all knew Gwen's reputation especially the boys. Even Gwen would probably have understood and gone to chase another boy/toy.

"Hey Puny-Parker get over here now" Peter hurried to his main bully, Flash Thompson. When he got there Flash showed him his hand which had a dark-purplish boil on the back of it. "You're a geek on these things right so tell me what to do before I make its big brothers appear all over your face. So Peter urged Flash to a lab where he tried every possible anti-injury paste he knew how to make even the ones he used after the really bad beatings and only one worked (It was also the only accidental as he had sprayed an anti-radiation solution in it.

"Thanks Parker, now you have a ten-second head start" Parker was shocked at Flash's desire to beat him even when he had helped him and wasted his ten seconds on staring. After that Flash proceeded to beat him black and blue; Peter noted his punches felt heavier and like multiple people were beating him at the same time. When he left Peter was a pile of cut skin, blood and broken bones; good thing he was in the lab.

*POW! POW!*

"Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben you've got to stay with me. Please I'm begging you!" Peter Parker was currently kneeling over the body of his dying uncle who had been shot by a fleeing mugger.

"P…Pet…Peter be helpful and a good boy to your Aunt May an…and remember with great power c…com, *Cough* comes gre…eat…" and without completing his famous saying Ben Parker was no more.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Peter cried out to the dark night skies looming above him unable to catch anybody and unable to help.

By this time Peter was pacing around his room trying hard to get the memories out of his head but they just kept coming most of them in short flashes like Aunt May starting to drink heavily when she thought he wasn't looking after Uncle Ben's till one, his most recent bad memory hit him like a flood. But before we get there…

"Hey Parker since you're in mourning I won't beat you but I'll apologize since my girlfriend insists I do so I'm sorry." As Flash walked away he added, "I do think we're one step towards a Parker-free planet, don't you think so Liz."

Peter in stupid rage charged Flash and punched him in the back, breaking his own wrist and it felt like he was punching a steel wall. Flash turned around with a dangerous glint in his eyes then proceeded to bash Peter in the middle of the hallway in the view of most students and some teachers. Safe to say Peter had to go to the hospital the day his uncle died. His diagnosis was;

Fractured right elbow cap;

Dislocated right shoulder;

Mild concussion;

And finally: Broken right wrist bone.

And so finally the memory we've been expecting; the one of Friday night which is really short.

Peter was in a new red T-shirt and checkered vest with dress pants and new shoes (Only thing marring the outfit was the sling his hand was in). He had sprayed himself with a S. Lee perfume maybe too much but hey tonight was date night right?!

Wrong! Very Wrong.

As Peter neared Gwen's house he heard moaning, but Peter in his hormone-charged state of mind made himself believe it was Gwen's parents. So he carried on with gusto and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door wasn't Gwen as he expected but a small boy whose green piercing eyes widened before being filled with pity. He also seemed to be considering something then nodded.

"Come in please." He beckoned to Peter and told him to follow him. When they got to where Peter considered being Gwen's room but why was there smacking noises… weird. "Guy, I don't know if you're a new guy or just stupid." Peter cringed at the words. "So Because I don't want you to get too hurt later I'm going to show you something that will probably scar you deeply." He opened the door and the musky stench of sweat and sex hit him like a tidal wave. He saw a red dance dress on the floor and it became clear to him but his mind refused to believe it. But as he went closer and saw the white lace pants and black pushup bra on the floor coupled with the sight of Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn having sweaty and passionate sex (probably a quickie) his heart shattered and turned to dust in his chest.

"G…Gwen what t…the, what the fuck" Peter croaked out as he dropped the bouquet of roses he was planning to give to her and he ran out off the room as fast as his broken body would allow him.

So here he was finally after running home and even getting mugged of all the money he had planned to use on his 'date'. He was so tired of everything; Flash-the beatings, school, not being recognized for his vast intelligence, being neglected by girls due to factors he couldn't control, everything. So he sat down - unaware his chair had shifted - and plunged his syringe full of what he was sure would kill him into his lower arm and pushed so much it broke. He slumped forward; his head hit a canister,

The canister toppled and hit a switch,

The switch was wired to a prototype E.M.P/shock-wave bomb,

The shock-wave caused a lot of glasses to shatter; the E.M.P caused all electronics to deactivate,

Of course one of such glasses was a jar, in which a cross-genetic spider was being kept after a certain incident,

The canister was electronic and released certain gases which were being tested in a lab in ESU and which Peter Parker stole,

The room sensed the gases and activated a failsafe which sealed the room and prevented the gases from escaping hence making them mix with the natural air and become more concentrated,

Now these gases were extremely corrosive, experimental and untested, and can you guess what it did to Peter,

Did you say it melted his skin, caused him pain by blocking off his air supply, burning his lungs amongst other things?

Then you're right! It did cause him pain by melting his skin, blocking off his air supply, eating away his bones, burning his lungs,

The shock-wave also caused a Release-on-Impact pellet full of experimental webbing to explode all over Peter,

But not before a small gas infused/radiation tested/cross-genetic spider bit him.

To top it off the substance in the syringe didn't help – it just ate him from the inside and corrupted his organs.

So let's have a look at the effects shall we?

We have a radiation infused cross-genetic biting a near-dead pile of electrified (due to the sparking electronics) burnt skin and bones before webbing irritated – no caused him (It?) extreme pain and the substance inside him was literally turning his heart to dust thereby giving the teen known as Peter Parker the most painful death; funny thing was that it was going to be a long time before anybody discovered him and his death wasn't even recorded as a type in the Book of Death™.
