Adrian slept under a thick blanket with a pillow under his head, he slept soundly but that soon changed when his nose started to sniff something all on its own like a dog. He shot up his hair a mess as he looked over to the kitchen, to see Peter Parker standing over the stove; he wore a blue Mets shirt with bright green boxers. The kitchen counter top already had some plates and silverware set up "Morning?" He said looking back at Adrian who took another whiff of the air "Is that bacon?" he asked. "And eggs." Peter said turning around with a pan on his hand that had about five strips of bacon and some mashed up scrambled eggs. As well as a bottle of orange juice and two cups. Adrian got up he walked over to the smell of breakfast, and sat down at the counter where Peter dumped some of the eggs onto his plate and let the boy take off three strips of nice crispy bacon.
Peter took some off the pan, "Alright so, I got work today so you can chill here, TV, eat." He said as he handed Adrian a fork and the two started to eat, "I figure later today we can you know get a blood test done." Adrian nodded his mouth full of bacon and eggs. "Where's that red head?" He asked, Peter froze, "Uh she had to leave, she has work, had to do a shoot." He replied.
Shoot... Like someone, so she is Black Widow?
The two sat in the kitchen, "So can I ask you something?" Adrian said putting his fork down.
Oh god, please don't be something like why didn't you want me? Any idea that my mother is? Oh god what if it's do I have any siblings-
"Alright so you know some of the X-Men right?" He asked Peter who nodded "Yeah?" He replied, he dropped his fork "Okay so the one called Dazzler, can she like do anything or are those lights just for show?"
What?
Peter sighed mentally "Uhm well she uses them kind of like flash bangs if that makes sense?" He said holding up his finger to mamma point. Adrian cocked his head "Oh okay, alright Captain America really sleep in an American flag?" Adrian then asked him Peter laughed "No but I've heard that one before."
Adrian smiled as he asked another question "Did Luke Cage really use wear a tiara?" Peter chuckled as he chewed on a piece of bacon "Oh yeah, he also use to wear a deep V shirt so deep you saw his belly button." Adrian snorted put his nose so hard his orange juice almost escaped his nostrils. "Alright what about Wolverine, that stupid hair gel or real?" He asked him swallowing the batch of food in his mouth. Peter shook his head "All natural." He said holding his hands up behind his head so they resembled the wolverine hair cut Adrian swallowed and laughed, "Oh and don't even get my started on Iron Mam goatee." Peter told him.
"What about the She-Hulk, I heard she was-" "Whoa easy easy." Peter said stopping him right there before he could finish his sentence.
Adrian blushed a bit before speaking again "Who would win in a fight, you or the human torch?"
Peter who was sipping on his orange juice froze, "Me, unconditionally."
"What if he set you on fire?" The boy asked.
"He'd never be able to touch me, his ego is too bad." Peter pointed out and toward Adrian with his fork, "But-" "No buts, two things if you turn out to be my son, one I am better then the Human Torch in every way, second anything Jay Jonah Jameson says is stupid."
Adrian finished off the rest of his eggs, "Okay last question, your Spider-Man?"
"I thought we established that yesterday?" Peter said out loud sipping his orange juice.
"I know, but you also work for him, even got a book from it, why?" Adrian asked him. Peter finished off the rest of his food and drowned it down with orange juice "It's a long story, I'll tell you after work but if don't leave now I'll be late."
Peter got up moved toward his bedroom he walked in then out in a matter of seconds in full spider suit with a bag of webs over his back. "See you later."
Adrian got up from the counter, "Wait what am I suppose to do while your gone?" He asked.
Peter opened the window before putting his mask on, "I don't know, just stay here till I get back watch TV or something?" He said before swinging out of the window leaving the boy alone and totally unsupervised.
Adrian walked over to the couch and turned on the TV, he started to flip through the channels till he found a channel with the New Warriors TV show.
He sat there for about an hour watching the New Warriors reality show till he got bored. He left the couch after getting bored and decided to look around the apartment. He walked around the apartment looking at some of the photos of the apartment or Peter Parker, and also of MJ and him together even a wedding photo.
Spider-Man and Black Widow married? Not even surprised really it fits, he's a spider...she's like a spider.
He looked at a few more one was of Peter and an older woman, and next to it was a of a boy who looked just like Adrian, sitting next to an older man both wearing Mets hat. For some reason he starred at this photo longer then the others before moving on.
Adrian found his way to one of the closets he opened and saw various jackets and coats, but then he saw a small brown box labeled with black magic marker titled 'peters web shooters' Adrian starred at the box for a good full minute before smiling.
Sweet.
DAILY BUGLE
The Daily Bugle a practically world famous Newspaper renowned but also notorious for running exposes on Super beings going as far as to slander heroes and villains left and right. And the man who ran it was none other then Jay Jonah Jameson himself the brush topped mustached, editor was the master of the Bugle "PARKER!" and he never let anyone forget it either. Peter leaned out from behind a wall a cop of coffee in his hand he wore a blue shirt with beige pants, me file under his arm "Can't this wait?" He grumbled to himself as he tried to enjoy his coffee. Peter turned around and moved in the direction of Jameson's office, as he got there he was greeted by a dark skinned African American man with grey hair wearing a brown vest and pants and button up with rolled up sleeves with a red tie, "Good luck Pete, Jameson's on a roll."
"Thanks Robbie." Peter grumbled a he entered into the office where Jameson sat at his desk. The office he threw walls with windows in them is lets of the walls around the window were covered in wood with newspaper clippings framed on them. "Parker, you owe me a front page picture." Jameson shouted at him.
The young photographer took out the file from under his arm they were photos of Peter dressed as Spider-Man fighting Doc Ock. "Fresh of the printer Jonah." Peter said through the file onto the desk. Jonah looked at them for a brief moment "I don't want this!" He barked at Peter.
"What?" Peter asked while sipping his coffee, "What's wrong with them?" Jameson picked up the photos and crumbled them up, throwing it at Parker.
Jonah grabbed the nearest piece of parchment which happen to be a piece of newspaper but not The Daily Bugle but a copy of the New York Times, "This!" Peter almost spit out his coffee but kept it in his mouth. A blurry picture of Spider-Man and a small child Ina mask and hoodie fighting what looked like Sandman. The NYTs was labeled with 'Spider-Man and a Spider-Boy?'
Crap, well at least Adrian is at my home and not-
Suddenly Robbie burst through the door. "Jameson, you remember that intern we hired a week ago the one you through your mug at?" Robbie asked the editor.
"No." Jameson said sitting back in his chair, "Well I just got a call from him saying he spotted a kid swinging around the city with webs coming out of his hands in Downtown!" Robbie sows frantically. Jameson's eyes got wide as he shouted on instinct "Park- wait where'd that useless photographer go?" Jameson said, as all he saw was Peter's coffee cup on the floor-spilled open. Robbie smirked "Bet he's already on his way." Robbie said looking back at Jameson, "Humph." Jameson started to light another cigar
the dark skinned editor looked at his partner "Still won't admit how he's our most important source of income?"
Jameson huffed in his cigar "Tell him and your fired."
DOWNTOWN
"WWWOOOOOOUUUUWHOOOOOOOO!" Adrian swung over the city wearing the same clothes and mask from yesterday, but instead of a sweatshirt he wore a long sleeved red shirt that matched his red mask. He shot another web as he swung around a building legs forward.
Best. Idea. Ever.
He landed on the top of another building staggering himself so he could stay upright before running to the other side and jumping off he free fell for ten seconds before shooting another web out of his wrist from both web shooters. Some people on the streets looked up a few kids couldn't help but be jealous as they saw the boy swing around like the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Suddenly he heard a loud explosion from a block away.
This looks like a job for your friendly neighborhood- uh me?
Adrian swung towards the block and as he arrived he saw standing in the middle of the street literally holding an ATM over his shoulder. Was a gigantic muscle man wearing a giant suit of grey armor with a horned head? "Great another bug to squash." The giant villain known as Rhino groaned seeing Adrian, "This coming from a guy dressed as a Rhino?" He asked back.
Rhino smirked "That's the name..." He brought back his giant grey fist "NOW THIS IS THE GAME!" He shouted slamming his fist toward the boy whose spider sense allowed him to dodge backs flipping away. Rhino dropped the ATM and ran towards the boy like an actual Rhino horn first. Adrian web zipped to a lamppost before Rhino could get to him. The villain grabbed onto the street tearing up the ground so he could have a better grip and spin himself around.
"Hold still!" Rhino shouted as he tore out the lamp post just as Adrian jumped off it barrel rolling onto the street crouching down in front of him, Rhino brought back both his arms slamming then down into the boy but when he raised them, "What...where'd he go?"
While Rhino looked around for the child. Adrian was clinging tightly to the villains back with his spider sticking abilities.
Oh man, oh man, oh man... I barely dodged that last one now what do I do?
Suddenly a shadow appeared overhead in the shape of a giant hand.
"Crap" Adrian said as Rhino tore him off his back and held him by the scruff of his collar.
Rhino snickered "Any last words Spider-Kid?" Rhino asked as Adrian looked around Rhino and held up his hand and pointed "Behind you."
Rhinos snicker dropped "You really think in that stupid-" "HEY!" Rhino looked back to see a big brown skinned fist heading his way "Pick on someone your own size?"
The giant man got smashed right on the jaw and let go of Adrian who landed easily onto the floor where he looked up to see a man wearing regular street clothes a tight yellow shirt and black pants with boots cracking his knuckles, he was a huge African American with a trimmed goatee and bald head of hair standing over seven feet, "You okay kid?" He asked Adrian, "Wait who are you?" Adrian asked him.
"Seriously, I'm Luke Cage I'm an Avenger?" Luke said to him, "Uh... Oh well... Sorry?" Adrian said under his mask.
Cage groaned, "If you don't wear a stupid costume nobody recognizes you?" Cage said to himself rubbing his forehead. He looked back down at the spider kid "Hey, I don't suppose you know a little guy who dresses like you?" He asked Adrian whose head perked up as he sensed something "Funny you should ask...?"
As he did a certain shape former a shadow over them, they looked to see Spider-Man "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?"
Spider-Man landed right in front of them, Adrian backed hiding behind Luke Cage, "What was I suppose to do stay inside all day?" He asked as Spider-Man tried to chase him around "Yes, like I told you and- and are those my old web shooters?" Spider-Man asked as Adrian held up one wrist looked at it; then through it behind his back trying to hide it "You weren't using it?" He said back.
Peter growled at himself "Aaag... You... Urrr, We're going home right now!" Spider-Man shot a web up and swung away, "Um... It was nice meeting you... Duke Page was it?"
"Now!" Spider-Man barked back and Adrian shot a web up swinging behind the other spider.
Luke cage stood there speechless, "Oh my god he's a parent...?"
PETER AND MARY JANES APARTMENT
"What were you thinking!?" Peter asked Adrian both had their masks off. Peter in front of the boy who was sitting on a walleye level. "I said I was sorry, I just wanted to try the web shooters out but I got lost, and well I saw the explosion and-" "And your first thought is to go toward the danger?" Peter asked him snapping at the boy.
Adrian held up his hands "What was I supposed to do, let the bad guy get away?" He asked Peter.
"Well no- don't try to change the subject, that was way to dangerous?" Peter said to Adrian.
The boy was silent for a few seconds "Alright I'm sorry, but I can't just stay inside all day?" Adrian said leaning on the wall as his bare feet stuck to it.
Peter sighed scratching the back of his head, "Okay, well. Could you get off the wall already?" He asked Adrian who looked at him "What? Why?" He asked.
"Because I don't want footprints on the wall?" Peter pointed out. Adrian groaned and got off the wall "Fine."
When he did Peters cellphone rang and Peter picked it up "Hello-"'PARKER!" The voice of Jameson exploded out of the cellphone like a blare horn. Peter drew his head back so he could get his heading back from the scream. "Where are there photos?" Jameson demanded as Peter held the phone to his ear "Sorry Mr. Jameson... Something uh." He looked down at Adrian who cocked his brow "Came up?" He said as Peter her Jameson growl on the other end of the line "Well it better been worth it, next time show up with something OR DON'T SHOW UP AT ALL!" Peter heard Jameson scream before slamming the phone off making Peter reel back again. Peter shut his cellphone and glared down at Adrian.
"Sorry?" Adrian said bowing his head, "Yeah well sorry won't cut it next time." Peter said putting the phone down and walking over to the couch. He flopped down on it lying their face down. He groaned into one of the pillows. While he did Adrian shot a web onto the ceiling and swung himself over to Peter. Hanging himself upside down next to peters head. "If you need a photo of me why not just take one?" He asked.
Peter grumbled something out from under the pillow but it was to muffle. "Sorry I couldn't hear that, I don't speak pillow?" Peter raised his head "I said it's not that simple, I'm a photographer I can't just take a photo?"
"But it's of you?" Peter heard him say as Adrian hung there upside down?
"I know but they don't, secret identity, remember?" Peter said to him looking at the upside down boy his brown hair hanging down under him.
Peter spun around so he lay on his back, "Hey you got any other clothes?" He asked Adrian, who looked at his grey pants and long sleeved shirt. "Got some basketball shorts and a fantastic four shirt, but besides that only a couple of pairs of underwear." Adrian answered.
"Good enough go change." Peter said getting up and taking off his spider shirt, "Why?" The kid asked.
"Because people saw you dressed up like that, rather not get any unwanted attention while we do the blood test." Peter said walking to his room.
Adrian paused for a moment, "Oh okay."
NEAREST CLINIC
Peter and Adrian both sat in a doctors waiting room that had white tile floors. Turquoise cushioned seats with metal armrests. The walls were all a soft blue with a white stripe and the ceiling had fluorescent lights overhead with a TV in the corner. In the middle of them was a table with multiple magazines and DC comics for kids to read. Peter wore a light blue Mets jacket white button up shirt and jeans and was watching the TV that had a woman on it speaking with blurry cellphone recording of himself dressed as Spider-Man and of Adrian. The video was about eight seconds long and was on a constant loop with the headline 'Spider-Boy?' "Eye witness report the supposed Spider-Boy tried to apprehend long time Spider-Man villain Rhino, but it was Harlem superhero and local man Luke Cage who subdued the criminal, shortly after Spider-Man was said to appear and the two spiders left." The women said as the video changed to Luke Cage wrapping the unconscious Rhino in a metal beam. "When asked for more information on the child he said no comment."
Thank you Luke, by now half the city has seen that video.
Peter looked down at Adrian, who wore a dark blue fantastic four shirt that had a flaming four on it that read Human Torch, and a pair of black basketball shorts and sneakers, his backpack was at his feet. He was currently fidgeting with hands between his legs.
Geez, even I wasn't this worried going to the doctor at his age. Then again those were just shots this is a paternity test?
Peter looked the boy up and down his features, same hair, same nose and chin but parts of his face were different her familiar.
What do I do if he isn't my son, what do I do if he is, what will the other heroes think, god I keep forgetting what will Aunt May think?
The door to the clinic opened and a nurse walked out "Peter Parker?" The nurse called Adrian is he got up and walked into the back rooms. "Don't be nervous." Peter whispered down to Adrian who gulped "Y-yeah."
Eventually they were led into a small room with white counters and beige cabinets, the walls had posters framed on each wall with the human body and other medical pictures. A jar of cotton balls sat on the counter next to some wooden Popsicle sticks. Adrian sat on the examination chair/couch while Peter leaned on the counters.
The door opened and an Indian man with dark curly black hair and mustache. He was obviously the do ore by his white doctors coat and a suit underneath it, he had a stethoscope "Ah Mr. Parker." The Doctor said looking at the clipboard on his hands reading his name odd "Don't suppose you know a Richard Parker?" He asked him chuckling a bit.
"What?" Peter asked, "Ha." Adrian said making Peter look at him "It's character in a book." Adrian added.
Peter rolled his eyes "Never mind, can we please start?" Peter asked the Doctor.
The man nodded "Yes, my name is Dr. Mattel, Mr. Parker you and your son are here for a paternity test?" He asked Adrian looked at Peter when the doctor said 'son'. "Yeah... That's what we're here to find out?"
The doctor nodded and walked over to one of the cabinets, "Very well, young man if would stick out your finger for a blood sample.
Later, Adrian and Peter walked out of the clinic after the paternity test, "Okay doc said it'll take a few days before we get the results." Peter said as they headed down the sidewalk Adrian had his backpack over his shoulders and had his hands in his pockets. "And what'll happen?" Adrian asked Peter "Uh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it?"
Peter and him walked down the streets silently, "So what do we do until then?" Adrian asked him.
He looked up thinking until he saw a Mets billboard talking about a game today, and Peter smiled. "I got an idea."
LATER
"GO METS!" Peter and Adrian both sat in the bleachers of Citi Field a stadium located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens. Completed in 2009, it is the home baseball park of Major League Baseball's New York Mets. Both Adrian and Peter sat on the mid bleacher second behind third base and we're watching the game. As they watched one of the Mets finally hit a home run and they and the fans cheered.
Now I know how Uncle Ben felt when he brought me here, I mean isn't this what dads do? Bring their kids to baseball games… wait do I want this.
"So your uncle use to bring you here?" Adrian asked, Peter nodded at the boy as he leaned back in his bleacher seat "Yeah, it was my Aunt and Uncle who raised me, some how my aunt did it on her own?"
Adrian looked up from the game at Peter, "What do you mean?" he asked him.
Peters smile fell, before picking back up "Uh… I'll tell you later."
Would it be so bad, Adrian and I, like Uncle Ben and I use to be, someone I could teach, how to ride a bike, drive, shave… holy crap I could teach him how to make web fluid, swing, even how to quip?
Adrian watched the baseball game; Peter pondered the possibility of the boy actually being his son.
I mean, what will happen if it isn't, where will he go, who will- spider sense!
Both Peter and Adrian looked around the stadium, "Did you-" "Feel that?" Peter asked cutting the boy off, "I don't see anything?" Adrian said looking around the stadium; Peter looked up at one of the stadiums many lights. On top of it their appeared to be a man, wearing overalls and a hard hat.
There!
Peter looked up at the man on the stadium lights fixing a bulb when all of a sudden said bulb exploded in sparks and the man tried to shield his face. He fell back right onto the railing and grabbed the edge of it holding on for dear life. "Stay here." Peter said getting up and running to the exit. Adrian looked up and soon other people did too. Soon the whole stadium was looking up at the man holding onto the railing trying to climb back up.
The man held on with two hands then just one making people scream, then the man let go entirely.
People started to scream even louder as the man plummeted to his doom, when out of nowhere Spider-man appeared grabbing the man while swinging of one of his webs. "Got you." Peter said grabbing the man from the jaws of death itself.
He swung down into a gap between the bleachers, "Alright you should be all-" Spider-Mans spider sense flared up again as he looked around.
Spider-Sense again?
His eyes shot up above the stadiums lights were starting to explode one by one on that single array of lights then the entire fuse bot exploded on it, making the metal structure of lights start to fall right off into the bleachers.
No, can't get to it in time!
The metal structure of lights fell straight toward a crowded section of people when from up above on the level just below the lights still attached but before the people who were about to be crushed a pair of webs had attached to the back of the wreckage.
Can't-hold-on…
Adrian had put his red shirt and black pants on along with his mask and was holding onto the giant piece of metal with the webs in both hands.
"Hold on!" Spider-Man shouted about to jump off the stadium floor, but before he could the man who had just rescued grabbed him "Wait I need to show you something-" "Look the gratitude can wait I-"
Spider-Sense
"No" the man said under his hat "I'T CAN'T SPIDER-MAN!" from the folds of his overalls the man unleashed a small burst of electricity as his clothes burnt off to reveal his green and yellow suit "Electro!?" Spider-Man shouted as the crook put on his lighting mask and Spider-Man backed up. "And he isn't alone!" someone shouted from the field. The players all froze as the diamonds sand started to shift and out of it Sand Man raised, "What supervillan team ups now?" Spider-Man asked, as Sandman made his and arm into a hammer and tried to crush Spider-Man who dodged.
"More then you know bug." Sandman said as the concrete beneath their feet exploded and out jumped Venom, Spider-Man saw the three of them, "We missed you." Venom growled at Spider-Man who leapt off the ground avoiding Venom, while the three super criminals surrounded him. People began to scatter as they saw the super powered showdown.
Venom, Electro, Sandman…. a trap!
As Adrian held onto the giant metal lights rack still dangling over the people.
Arms… feel like…. their going to… tear off.
The boy tried to hold on as long as possible but his spider-sense flared as he saw a shadow appear behind him. The shadow was none other then Doctor Octopus, "A valiant effort boy… like we planned." Octopus shot one of his tentacles at him smacking Adrian in the back of the head making him go limp. The web in his hands went loose as the metal rack of lights plunged straight down.
As the last people tried to scatter out of the way, Spider-Man appeared beneath it catching it with his amazing spider-strength. He looked up in terror to see Doctor Octopus holding Adrian in one of his mechanical arms, and then toss him right off the top of the stadium. "NO!" Spider-Man shouted as either a blessing or curse the Vulture appeared to snatch him out of the air and fly away.
Got to get out of this, have to go after them-
Before he could finish his thought, both Electro and Sandman blasted the giant metal structure with electricity and sand burying him in the process, but before he was completely covered he held his arm up towards the Vulture. Who was getting farther and farther away, shooting out of his web shooters was a spider tracer that flew like a bullet onto the back of one of the Vultures feathers. "Good, now everyone withdraw." Dr. Octopus said his finger to his ear as all the Six had earpieces in.
"What, but we have him?" Electro argued, "Killing him is easy, but I have a surprise for Spider-Man, I assure you it's to die for."
Doc Ock said as the four of them withdrew from the stadium. As the commotion died down, some of the fans came out from cover, "Holy, they crushed him?" one spectator said seeing the pile of metal, sand and glass that was covering the area where Spider-Man was. "Oh my god is Spider-Man dead?" another woman called as people got around the wreckage. "Damn, I my cellphone pictures of it are all blurry?", some security guards climbed on top of it, as the wreckage started to shift.
Without warning the top of the wreckage and sand exploded, out of the dust cloud of sand and metal Spider-Man was standing hands curled into fists. "Hey he's alive?" one of them said as Spider-Man looked around, for Adrian. He looked at the nearest security and leapt over to them, "You which way did they go?" he demanded.
The Mets fan was totally caught off guard, "Uh what?" "Vulture? Man dressed as a giant green chicken?" Spider-Man asked again, "Oh, they flew that way." The man said pointing out towards the city.
The wall crawler shot a web out of his hand and zipped out of the stadium after them.
I don't know if my Spider-tracer will hold or not, or if they find it, but I can't think like that. Dammit! This is what I was afraid of, getting him involved like this. I should have taken the web shooters away he must have had them in his back pack, stupid Parker, stupid.
Ah, stop it, have to focus- the Sinister Six attacked me, and have kidnapped my possible son….
He swung through the air his mind going blank for a few moments.
I swear, god or no god if anything has happened to him, I will, end them.
