Spider-Man: chapter one
It was just a regular day like any other day in Manhattan; the sun was shining, the birds were singing... And the screams of a nerdy teen were heard...
"C'Mon Parker, fight back!" A large muscular teen said kicking the nerdy teen.
"Pl... Please S... Stop..." The nerdy teen said with tears coming down his face.
"Hey! Leave Peter alone!" Another teen yelled out at the brute.
"Beat it Osbourne! This ain't your fight!" The brute said kicking the nerdy teen in the chest.
"You mess with Peter, you mess with me! And if you mess with me you mess with my dad and his lawers!" Harry said angrily.
"Hey Flash, let's go! Teachers coming!" One of the brutes 'Friends' said and they just ran off.
"You okay Peter?" Harry said worried to the nerdy teen.
"I'm okay... Thank you harry, I wish Flash and his goons just left me alone!" Peter said wiping his eyes and harry helped him up.
"You should really tell someone about this! You can't keep this up..." Harry said keeping Peter steady.
"It's not that easy Harry... If Aunt May or Uncle Ben heard that I was being bullied they would probably move me to another school! Plus I don't want them to worry..." Peter said sadly.
"I'm not forcing you Pete, but I just hate seeing you hurt" Harry said concerned.
"I'll be fine Harry, besides it's Friday... Just have one more lesson then I can just go home and relax!" Pete said thinking about two days without having to deal with Flash.
"Just because it's a weekend doesn't mean this abuse from Flash will stop!" Harry said wanting Peter to do something about the abuse from Flash.
"I know Harry... Besides I can take it..." Peter said pulling his sleeve over the bruises on his arm.
"'Sigh' you deserve a better life Peter..." Harry said putting his hand on Peters shoulder.
Suddenly the bell went for last period...
"All I need is strength..." Peter said then they both went to their next lesson... Science!
In class...
"Today we are starting a new topic; Genetics , can anyone tell us what Genetics is?" The teacher said and Peter was the only one to put his hand up. "Yes Peter?"
"Genetics is the study of the inherited differences found in and between populations and individuals" Peter said quickly.
"Very good Peter... I will now hand out these letters about the Oscorp Genetics and engineering labs, we are very fortunate to have access to these labs not many tours are given there!" The teacher said handing out the letters.
"Yes!" Peter said quietly.
"Pete, only you would be this excited about science!" Harry whispered to Peter.
"Who wouldn't be excited about science?" Peter said smiling.
"Me for starters!" Harry said chuckling abit.
At the Parker residence...
"I'm home!" Peter announced as he came in, then an elderly woman came in.
"Oh hello Peter! Good day at school?" The elderly woman said welcoming Peter home.
"It was great Aunt May!" Peter said as convincing as he could.
"That's nice to hear..." May said hugging Peter.
"Aunt May, there will be a trip to the Oscorp Genetics and engineering labs next Friday! I just need this slip signed..." Peter said holding the permissions slip out to show Aunt May.
"Of corse I will sign it for you..." May said signing the slip.
"Thanks Aunt May!" Peter said then rushed to his room to study.
"What a nice boy..."May said grinning.
The following Friday...
Peter woke up excited about the trip to the Oscorp Genetics and engineering labs, he couldn't wait...
"Today's the day!" Peter said excitedly to himself.
"Peter, breakfast's ready!" May said calling Peter from downstairs.
"Okay Aunt May, I'm coming!" Peter said going down the stairs quickly.
"Good morning Peter, breakfast is on the table..." May said happily to see her nephew in a good mood.
"Thanks Aunt may!" Peter said rushing to the table.
"Eat up, get some meat on you!" An elderly man said reading the paper.
"Yeah yeah... I'm not that thin Uncle Ben!" Peter said chuckling slightly.
"I know, only kidding! Anyway how's school?" Ben said hoping he's doing okay.
"I'm... Fine, I need to get going now, don't wanna miss the bus!" Peter said rushing out the door.
"Something's up with Peter... You don't think he's being bullied do you?" May said worryingly.
"I'm sure he's fine honey, even if he is being bullied he would tell us right away!" Ben said hoping it wouldn't be anything physical.
"I hope you're right!" May said worried.
"I hope so too!" Ben said looking out the window a seeing Peter run to the bus stop.
On the bus...
"Hey Pete, I bet you're excited about today!" Harry said as Peter sat next to him.
"You bet Harry! Who doesn't love science?" Peter said cheerfully.
"What ever Pete! I'm just here because it beats school!" Harry said chuckling.
At the Oscorp Genetics and engineering entrance...
"Okay, everyone get a partner and don't separate from the group!" The teacher said entering the building.
"Wow look at this place... It's so advanced!" Peter said looking around.
"My dad has accomplished so much in the last few years... It's incredible!" Harry said proudly.
"I know just imagine the possibilities!" Peter said impressed then a man with one arm missing came through a set of double doors.
"Hello my name is Dr Curt Conners, and I will be your guide for today!" Conners said in a cheerful manner. "Before we start the tour, does anyone have any questions?"
Peter Put his hand up...
"Yes, what may your question be?" Conners said pointing to Peter.
"Dr Conners, I've heard about the cross-species genetics that has been going on; To help cell regeneration, is that true?" Peter said curiously.
"Ahhh...excellent question! What's your name young man?" Conners said curiously.
"Peter... Peter Parker" Peter said and Dr Conners' eyes opened wider.
"Parker... Your fathers name didn't happen to be Richard Parker could it?" Conners said surprised.
"Yes... Yes it was! Do you know what happened to him?" Peter said excited and oblivious of the others around him.
"I don't actually know he used to work here at Oscorp, he just seemed to 'disappear' from the face of the of the Earth, no one knows where he went! I was hoping you might know!" Conners said remembering about the tour. "Oh well, we should start with the tour!" He said then he went through the double doors and the rest followed through.
"He never answered my question!" Peter said to Harry.
"Oh well... Let's just follow the tour" Harry said to Peter.
"Okay... Hey what's in that crate?" Peter said looking at a crate with the Oscorp symbol on it.
"That's just a crate of failed experiments, it's going to the incinerator" Harry said as Peter lent against it.
"Hmm... Wonder what's inside?" Peter said curiously.
Suddenly a strange looking spider went out a crack in the crate and crawled into Peters backpack...
Ten minutes later...
"And over here we have the genetically altered super spider, it is highly dangerous and must be sealed in this container at all times..." Connors said pointing at an empty glass box.
"What spider?" Peter said seeing that it was empty.
"What do you mean no spi... Oh! It must be in the lab for further testing..." Connors said concerned.
"I think this is a good time to have a break, we will meet back here in one hour! Please don't touch anything!" Connors said hoping the spider hadn't escaped.
"Shame we couldn't have seen that spider... It would have been fascinating!" Peter said slightly disappointed.
"Oh well, better luck next time!" Harry said hoping Peter won't get too upset.
"I'm gonna take some pictures for the school newspaper" Peter said getting his camera from his bag, but he instead got a light prick on the hand. "Ow! What was that?"
"What was what?" Harry said confused.
"something just pricked me!" Peter said seeing there was a two tiny red marks on his hand. "You don't think the spider had escaped do you?"
"You heard what Doc Connors said, it's in the labs for testing!" Harry said thinking Peter was being paranoid.
"Hey harry, do you feel a sudden temperature change? I feel hot suddenly!" Peter said feeling dizzy.
"No, I feel fine..." Harry said confused at Peters strange behavior.
"Harry is it okay if I just lay down for a bit? I'm feeling a bit dizzy!" Peter said holding his head straight.
"Sure Pete, I'll keep an eye out for Flash!" Harry said then Peter just laid on the bench and closed his eyes...
So, how was chapter one? R/R for another chapter! This is my first attempt at my own version of Spider-Man! I hope you all enjoyed it...
