DISCLAIMER: i do not own Spiderman or any character in this story. Marvel does.

So here we go this is my first ever fanfic. (please go easy on me) This is based on insomniac's Spiderman (the ps4 game) , which released last year. I've been playing it a lot. The key points of the whole story will be based off the little tidbids of Peter's past given by the game . And most of the non canon stuff is original. Since this focuses on the origins you don't need to have played the game in order to enjoy the story. So here we go.*

Chapter 1: Electric Boogaloo

lt was fine day at Manhattan, New york for everyone. Except ofcourse Peter Parker, a young freelance photographer and aspiring scientist. He was already late on his way to the Daily Bugle to deliver the photos of everyone's favourite webslinger. He couldn't believe the traffic was so slow , but then again this was Manhattan , what did he expect?

"Yeah , how much time till we get there ?" asked Peter to the cabbie.

"By the looks of it , atleast half an hour."

"Half an hour?! I don't have that much time!" Peter said frustrated.

"You know what... here take this " he handed the cabbie a 10 dollar note and proceeded to get out of the cab and to the sidewalk.

"But how're you gonna reach there by foot , kid?"asked the cabbie

"Who says I'm going on foot?"he smirked and headed towards the nearest apartment .

As he reached the back of an apartment , he took off his bag and kept it down to the ground, then glancing around to make sure no one was watching.

"Okay the coast is clear. Now where did i keep the extra one..." he searched through his bag untill he got it. He pulled it out. And there it was in all its glory. A red mask covered with a web pattern around it and two eye pieces attached to its front.

"Time to speed things up a little bit." he put on the mask and gor his backpack back on his shoulders. He was sure no one will suspect anything. Even though Spider-Man was just wearing the mask and had denim and a shirt below, it still counted as Spider-Man right?

It was almost noon amd he had to reach the bugle by 12:15 sharp or else J.Jonah Jameson won't let him submit his photos. A man of punctuality himself, Parker didn't want to disappoint him.

"Here we go!"

He started off by running to the top of the building and perching down at the edge of the roof. It was 12:05 as per the AI in his mask. "Okay 600 meters , right ? Guess I'll have to do the thing extra fast this time". He checked his web shooters to make sure he wouldn't face any problems.

And he lept off the building. It felt good , jumping off buildings without a care in the world. At the last moment he pulled his right hand up and shot a long web up to the roof of the building parallel to the one he just jumped off and grabbed it tightly and thus began the swing. He continued to swerve here and there zipping and swinging through the city. At times he would leave the web at the lowest point of his swing just to gain more momentum and shoot another form the bottom.He picked up many tricks from over an year of web swinging . All he knew that he was never going to get tired of this.

"Now what's the tim-" he glanced at the mask AI , it was 12:13 and he was just a few meters away from the Bugle .

"Gotta hurry , gotta hurry!"

By 12:14 he was on the rooftop of the Daily Bugle , taking off the mask and catching his breath. He glanced around to find the roof entrance and entered it to go get to Jonah's office which was obviously on top floor.

"Crap , crap ... Mega crap" Jonah said putting down Peter's photos, almost throwing them around.

"But look at those! Those are high quality and perfect angle photos ! I bet you any other photographer won't have pictures of Spider-Man better than these!" Parker protested. It was true though , anyone wouldn't take bad pictures of themselves right? And this Jonah didn't know.

Jameson glared at Peter with a frown. He had to admit the pictures were good but he didn't give crap about appreciating the kid. All he wanted was the pictures , at the right price.

"I'll give you 200 as usual Parker"

"But there are more pi-"

"No buts , Parker , you hear me? You take it or you leave it." Jameson said with a smug look on his face

Peter had no choice. He needed the money for his rent, "personal" projects and other stuff. Even though it meant settling for Jameson's bargain.

"Alright"

And he was out of there.

--

Peter crashed at the couch in his uncle's house back in queens. He was too damned tired to do anything. College funds, loans , future plans , jobs, were running through his mind. He was almost 17 now and already too self conscious about his future. It had been just a year and half since he got his powers. He had been protecting the city as spider-man ever since his uncle Ben died. If it wasn't for May he would've lost his sanity. Being so broken after Ben's death, Peter had sworn to become the man his uncle wanted him to be . A responsible one.

He thought about his time with Ben while he rested. All the time they spent together , all the fun they had. He hoped things would've turned out different but fate had something else planned for him .

The house was as always a reminder of Ben amd his likeness. A decent house to say the least. Simple amd efficient .

Peter got off the couch amd turned on the box of a tv in the living room. He kept switching the channels untill something caught his eye. A news channel was reporting live from Times square.

"And here we have something breaking down at times square , let's see" the anchor said as the screen shifted off to a reporter in Times square.

"...as you can see here this unidentified man is literally absorbing electricity and sparks from the screens here.." the camera shifted to a man probably in his thirties and bald , dressed in a green leather jacket and yellow t shirt was absorbing yellow electric energy from all the large screens in Times square.

"It seems as if he's enjoying it!" the man apparently had an evil grin on his face as he absorbed the energy all around him.

" oh no ..oh no...!". The screen went static and returned to the anchors.

"It seems as if we're dealing with a super natural entity here. New reports are coming that the cops are not able to suppress the suspect. Unless ofcourse the alleged "webbed hero" of Manhattan shows up , I'm afraid we have any chances" the anchor said.

"We have the Avengers don't we , Nick?"said his co anchor to him.

"The Avengers aren't always free, you know ..."

Peter turned the tv off. Thoughts running like lightning in his head . This was the first time a real super powered threat had shown up in Manhattan. He wasn't sure if he should take this , maybe he wasn't ready? Maybe wait for the avengers? Maybe the cops will handle it?

All this seemed impossible.He had to go and face this threat. The media wasn't trusting him , maybe this was the time he showed them what he could do.

Suddenly the phone in the living room rang. It was MJ's number. "Oh no , how did i forget?! Is it saturday?!" Peter realised his second date with MJ was this evening . If he bailed out on her it would not leave a lasting impression on her that was for sure. It had been only a week since their first date in the restaurant, Nothing fancy but MJ didn't mind it .

He had to make a choice.

--

"Hey Pikachu! You done with stealing New York's electricity ?"

Spider-man had arrived at the scene , landing at the centre of Times square, with the lightning man just a few feet away from him practically floating above the ground with lightning shooting from his arms. Helicopters were flying in distance but didn't seem to do any damage to the man. Probably media helos , peter thought.

"Just what i needed !! Killing you will be my first step to ruling this city , spider creep! I was almost getting bored here " the man said blasting am abandoned cop car with his lightning.

"Electricity huh? Good thing i brought these then ."he showed his hands up. he was wearing orange coloured electrians rubber gloves instead of his regular ones , with the web shooters strapped over them.

"Pathetic! You think those can save you from me?!" the man blasted another lightning bolt , but this time towards Spidey. He rolled out of the way just as it was about to hit .

"Didn't your mom tell you , not to play with electricity?"spidey said brushing off dist from his suit after the blast .

"YOU TALK TOO MUCH!" the man blasted out another two bolts off his hands . Spidey shot a web to a nearby building and easily dodged the attack , now sticking to a window of the building.

"You're not electrocuting me tonight , Pikachu?" spidey said as he started to swing towards the man.

"MY NAME IS ELECTRO!"he blasts off amother bolt as spidey swings towards him, but he dodges the bolt mid air by letting go of the web and now flying towards the right of "electro".

"Okay electro! My name is Spider-Man"he said as he launched another web , now towards electro and it sticks to his chest.

"Wha-" Electro didn't get to complete his word as Spider-man came at him with the help of the web to his chest and threw punch on his face , and another one this time to the right, then a kick to the guts and finally shooting a web to a nearby screen and with the support of it , web kicking electro off balance. Electro's lightning stopped all of a sudden and he was thrown away to the ground.

"Good thing i had these gloves on." he thought otherwise he would've been toast. Electro started to get up as lightning amd sparks returned to surround his body.

"Oh hell no!" as Spidey exclaimed Electro got back up afaun floating with electricity around him.

"Looks like i still have some charge left eh, bug?!" he said , now rushing towards spidey quickly with his fists charged with electricity.

Thanks to the spidey sense , he dodged in time and shot a web to a nearby screen board and got stuck on it.

"You insect!" electro said looking up to Spider-Man at the screen . His face went all evil grin now.

"What? Something funny on my face , Pikachu?" Spidey said . "oh shi-"he realised he was on a huge LED screen from which electro had previously absorbed energy from. But the problem was the screen was still working! That meant it had charge in it.

With a hand gesture electro started absorbing the charge from the huge LED screen, managing to electrocute spidey as well. Spiderman fell off the screen , totally startled and well "shocked".

"How do you like that eh?" Electro said with an evil grin on his face

Peter couldn't get up right then. He observed his surroundings to see if anything could help . Electro started charging up another thunderbolt in his hand . Spidey realised electro was just floating a few feet away from a metal hydro pump. He got back up on his feet.

"You still got life in you huh? Well iits about to end NOW!" He launched another thunder bolt at Spiderman . But just as it was about to reach him Spiderman shot both of his web shooter at the metal water pressure hose and pulled , ripping it off from the curb . Water came out rushing from the now freshly created hole and drenched electro. As expected electro got a taste of his own powers when the water hit him , electrocuting him all over. Water and electricity don't make a great pair. Basic science , peter thought.

"AAAARGH!" he screamed untill all of his electric energy faded off and he was passed out on the curb of the street.

"Phew! Now that was exciting! " Spidey sighed. "Its okay now ! Everyone ! Its safe here!" people started appearing . All of a sudden they were cheering for Spiderman on his victory.

"YOU GO SPIDEY! WHOO!"

"Whoo! Spider-Man! You saved us!"

"SPIDER MAN ! SPIDER MAN! SPIDER MAN!"

He couldn't believe it . Finally , he was getting praise for his work. The cops joined in the cheering too. After a while everyone was settled down. Cops said they will handle stuff from there on as they put the still knocked out electro in heavy duty van. He saw

"Oh the satisfaction of seeing criminals going away with the cops... Speaking of satisfaction. Aaaand I'm already 20 minutes late!" And Peter web swinged his way to his home.

"So did you see that spider guy fighting off against that electric guy?"

It turned out MJ didn't even mind that much about peter showing up late. She didn't know his secret , yet. Peter was thankful things were going smoothly.They were at a mall in queens drinking some smoothies in the food court. Peter was , as usual , dressed in his green shirt and chinos. MJ on the other had was looking more than ready for a great date with a beautiful red dress on.

"Unfortunately no" Peter said grinning at her , and took a sip of his smoothie. "My cab was on the way here when that started off. Was it that good?"

"You should've seen it pete! At a point i thought he was gonna lose , when he got electrocuted with the billboard. But turned out he knew some science, like you." she laughed and peter laughed with her.

"Anyway I'm going to do an article about it in the school newspaper. And it seems as if most people are beginning to trust him. Honestly , the guy is only doing good . Right , peter?"

"Yeah , yeah , totally good stuff." He clearly wasn't interested in Spiderman at the moment.

So that was the first chapter in my 10 part fan fiction about Insomniac's Spider-Man's origins. If you liked it or have any criticism please let me know by giving a review and I'll try to respond to you. Peace out and have good day.
