So here is something I've been trying to work on since he is my favorite character and all so here is my official start of my second story and it's about the same dang thing as my first which I cancelled so yeah. However I have vowed to be more devoted to this story and work on each chapter a lot more than I did the last one so fingers crossed that this works.
I do not own any of these characters they are owned by the property of Marvel.
Chapter 1: Great Responsibility
"Riiiiiiiiing!," came the sound of the school bell as it rung throughout the halls of the Midtown High School. Students throughout the halls only responded by pouring into their nearby classes. One boy in particular could be seen rushing through the dispersing crowd in particular as he was fiddling his way to get to his class. This was a small brown haired boy in a white and black hoodie on his way to his first class of the day.
"Late again Mr. Parker, what a surprise," came the sarcastic voice of his english teacher as he entered the room to his first period. "Sorry Mrs. Warren," Peter replied abashedly after sitting in his seat. "Just try not to let it happen again," came the teacher's scolding reply. Peter turned to the right to find a blond girl dressed in shorts and a torn up white hoodie and band shirt and a black hairband. She was looking to Pete seemingly expecting an answer but Pete just shrugged and turned his head back to the front of the room focusing his attention on the upcoming lecture from the teacher.
Class had gone on without much off an interruption when the school bell began to ring signaling their students to their next class. Peter made his way out the classroom when suddenly his senses began to overload. The next thing that happened was him getting shoved into a locker by a blond haired boy with way too much cologne in a green letterman jacket who was followed by a bald chubby asian boy also wearing a letterman jacket. "Well if it isn't my favorite little squeaker Puny Parker," the larger blonde jided. "Hey parker looks like you needs some help getting back under your bridge you little troll," the blond added. The boy made a grab for Peter, no doubt to shove him in a open locker. Peter dealt with this boy often as he was the upcoming quarterback of Peter's very own high school, Flash Thompson. He was also a frequent bully of Peter's. The other boy was Kenny McFarlane or Kong was also a friend of Flash's that often participated in terrorizing Peter.
Peter's saving grace however came in the form of the same girl from his last class grabbing the trio's attention. "Hey you two, you better leave him alone before I start messing with ya," came the girl's serious tone. Flash dropped him and said, "look at this Puny Parker has to have a girl save his scrawny butt haha." The other boy joined in on his laughter and they two left about a graceful as they came. The girl made her way over to Peter and outstretched her hand helping the boy to his feet. "You okay," she asked. "Oh, You know Flash is just in the midst of displaying wonderful personality," he added a shudder at the end of his sentence for added effect. Gwen only shook her head and began to walk through the halls where Peter followed.
"I still don't see why you don't just pummel him since you know," she spoke. "Yeah well Gwen I'd rather not show off my mad skills and attract attention," Peter responded. To anybody else these two would seem like nothing but average students but they were far from it. Peter harbored a secret only he and Gwen new about. During Peter's free time he would often 'hero up' as Gwen described it since he had just recently become a vigilante for his hometown of Queens.
It wasn't always like this though. Peter had only recently gotten super powers from a strange spider bite during a trip to the Stark Expo during the summer. That led him down a path to do something good for his community so naturally he dressed up in a halloween costume and started playing hero as it were.
The two arrived at their next class as the sound of the bell began signaling students to get to their classes. The two arrived at their art class taking a seat a the small table in the room with three chairs. There they joined the other member of their little band of geeks. Harry Osborn, richest kid in the school and frequent party lover. He was a red haired boy with a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt under a leather jacket. "What took you two love birds so long, did you stop to make out in the hallway," came the red head's mocking tone. "We're not lovebirds," came the two's responses a little too quick. "Whatever I just tell it like I see it," came his nonchalant reply. "You know you're a jerk osborn," Gwen responded with a lace of sarcasm. Then the three friends just started to laugh until they began to start on work on their art projects. The three freshman students where an odd choice of friends no one would usually expect but they had been close since childhood. They were practically inseparable. However Gwen and Peter hadn't told him about Peter's activities. It also didn't help that he had a very strict dad that was being particularly harsh lately.
The day continued on without any thing too interesting happening. Harry had made Gwen laugh so hard she nearly spewed milk from her nose would she responded to by giving Harry a playful smack on the back of his head. The trio were headed outside after the bell rang signaling the end of the school day. when Harry noticed the limo parked in the parking lot across the parking lot. "Well looks like someone wants to teach me a lesson in Osborn dynamics," came Harry's almost nonchalant reply. "Well go have fun dealing with your money piles and daddy issues Mr. Osborn," Gwen replied dripping with sarcasm. "Yeah, Yeah, Whatever," came Harry's reply which he took as his chance to exit leaving the two teens snickering at their friend's expense. That left the two teens to their walk back to their homes.
During the walk Gwen was the first to break the silence. "So you thinking about going out tonight," Gwen asked with curiosity. "Yeah I mean what do I think I actually have a social life," reply Peter with a hint of sarcasm. Gwen rolled her eyes only before saying, "I you don't think it's a good idea to let anyone know that you're feeling some side effects from a scientifically enhanced spider bite." "Gwen we already know what the spider bites effects on me where besides I can't even shoot real webs," came Peter's reassurance. "Fine Peter but if you start growing hairs and sprouting more eyes and arms I'm calling a hospital," Gwen responded. "I think I'm going to start growing hair even without the spider bite," Peter added with a sly smirk. "Ew, really you couldn't have kept that to yourself I think I might have to call my dad," Gwen responded, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You wound me Ms. Stacy, I thought we were partners in this criminal endeavor," Peter said doing his best Dr. Evil impression. "Alas, this life of crime weighed upon my very soul. To go on would be to curse my very soul to damnation," Gwen responded conjuring up all her knowledge of shakespeare and dramatic acting. The two friends shared a laugh as they continued their journey until they stopped at a small house in queens where Gwen lived.
After going their separate ways, Peter made his way back to the apartment building in which he lived. Once taking the elevator to his floor Peter arriving at his door 228, he pulled out his keys and opened the door to find his Aunt may cooking a meal for the two of them. "Hi Aunt May," Peter spoke out. "Hi honey," came the sweet tone of his maternal figure. Peter hadn't really known his parents so he made do with what he had. "Dinner will be ready in a half hour maybe you can start on your homework," came her motherly tone. "Sure thing May," Peter responded. He made his way to his room where he would get start his homework before dinner was ready. After being called to dinner by his aunt Peter headed to the table to eat with his Aunt. Tonight she had cooked him spaghetti for dinner which Peter was incredibly grateful for. After finishing his dinner Peter went to his room to finish his homework. He ended up taking a shower and stayed in his room waiting for his aunt to head to bed.
Once he heard the sounds of his aunt's room door shutting Peter grabbed an old toy lightsaber and used it to open a hatch at the top of his room. The hatch opened revealing a jumbled mess of clothing. He quickly pulled a placed it on the bed. An began to dress himself. Now Peter was adorned in a black hoodie with a red chest and sleeves that had a web design on them. He had on a pair of red fingerless gloves while he had to wrist mounted machines hidden by his hoodie. He also wore black sweats as well as a pair of red open toed shoes. He put on a red mask that had another web design on it and thick black goggles over it. This was what he wore out at night on his patrols of queens when he went searching for hero work to be done. Right now he wasn't much but he had at least decided on a superhero name to fit his alter ego. While in this costume he was no longer a high school wimp but he was Spider-Man, Queens, New York's very own superhero. He opened the window to his room and began to crawl out of it. Because of the spider bite from his trip Peter had gained some new abilities. One of which was an adhesive ability that let him stick to any surface. He often called them his Stick-Em powers. This would allow him to crawl up walls and surface just like that of a spider. While he didn't have webbing built into him he was no slouch when it came to academics. He had procured some supplies from dumpster diving that allowed him to make his own fake web like substance. He had also made it so he could shoot this web like substance from the wrist mounted devices he made as well.
After closing his window he shot a web from his wrist mounted device onto a nearby building. Then he simply let the web carry him off the building with an amazing force of momentum. He next attatched another web to a different building and allowed himself to be carried by his new web line. He kept repeating this process as he came to be swinging on his webs like tarzan. This however was just another average event that the spider themed hero grew accustomed to as it was old hat at this point. This was how he went about doing his duty.
In an unknown warehouse two figures could be seen chatting. One was a small aged man in a lab coat and khakis working on piece of machinery while the other was an average built bald man in a bomber jacket and khakis. "How long is this gonna take Mason," questioned the man in the bomber jacket. "I assure you Adrian that I am doing everything in my power to work and your specifications. I'm doing my best to follow the blueprints you provided me that doesn't mean you can just barge in a hassle me just so I can finish your damn design," replied the man known as Phineas Mason. "Actually since I'm paying I think I can hassle you as much as I like until you finish your work on the suit," countered Adrian. "Then you'll only end up getting a rushed project and how will that help in endeavours," Phineas added. "Fine Mason but just finish the damn prototype I'm getting restless," spoke the clearly annoyed Adrian. "Calm down, we will have your revenge against those fools that sought to cross us in the past this I can promise," Phineas supplied. "Very well Phineas I'll wait while you finish work on those schematics," Adrian replied. "Then we are at an understanding," added Phineus.
