A/N: Another chapter! Yay! I actually almost forgot to post it. Whoops! Peter's POV this time. I found the fight scene at the end of this chapter surprisingly easy to write, but then again, it's short.

EDIT: For some reason, when I published it, the paragraphs were all in one, so I separated them.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Peter's POV

When I arrived at my house, I said hello to Aunt May and went up to my room. I turned on the light and sat at my desk. I opened up my computer and went to news, where there was J. Jonah Jameson was ranting about Spider-Man–err, me. I was about to close the page, when a small blog came up. I skimmed the page. It was by an anonymous girl, who was saved by a person in a blue hoodie, who had stopped a guy from stealing her bag, with water. She said he called himself Riptide. I was going to look him up, but Aunt May called me down for dinner.

"Coming!" I yelled, and shut down my computer. I headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

"So, an email from the school came tonight, there's a new kid joining your class this year. His name was… Uh, Percy Jackson. Yeah, that's it. He's joining your class," Aunt May said, when I sat at the table.

"Percy? I think I met him today, at the cemetery. He seemed nice."

"Yeah? That's good." Aunt May put our plates on the the table, it was fish and potatoes. After dinner, I went back up to my room, to try and find more information about Riptide. In the end, all I found was the blog and a Wikipedia article on literal riptides. Figuring, What the heck? I opened the blog again. Looking at it more closely, I reread it.

Tonight, I was walking down the street, when a mugger came at me. It's scary, being mugged, so I screamed. Apparently, it was my lucky night. Someone heard. A person in a hood. He came running to my aid, and punched the mugger. When the mugger got back up, the person in the hood summoned water which he used to knock down the mugger. I asked him for a name, and he asked if I meant real name or superhero. (He sounded kind of sarcastic.) In the end, he settled on calling himself Riptide. I thanked him and he left. Tonight was a reminder to me that, although there's those dirty scumbags and petty thieves, there's always heroes. People who care. Whether they're ordinary firemen, or extraordinary beings with superpowers, they care. Don't forget that.

After reading this, I decided to go out and scout for this "Riptide" guy. I told Aunt May that I going to sleep, then snuck out. I swung around a little bit, but nothing happened. I stopped on a rooftop and looked down on the city. Nothing seemed to be happening. I headed back to my house. Sneaking in the window, I took off my costume and went to sleep.

When I woke up the entire house smelled like pancakes. I stumbled downstairs where I found Aunt May cooking…. You guessed it! Pancakes! I sat down at the table and wolfed down the pancakes.

"So, Peter. Do you have everything you need for school? It starts in two days," Aunt May asked.

"Yup!" I managed to say with my mouth full of pancakes.

"Okay. That's good." She noticed that I had finished my pancakes. "You want more?"

"No thanks. I'm meeting Harry at 10:00. We were gonna go meet up with MJ."

"Well you better hurry, it 9:55!" I glanced at my watch and shot up. I ran upstairs and got dressed. I stuffed my Spider-Man costume into a backpack and ran out the door.

When I arrived at Harry's, he was waiting outside the building.

"Where were you? You're 10 minutes late!"

"Hehe… Slept in. Sorry," I said sheepishly.

"Well let's go. We shouldn't keep MJ waiting." We started walking off, towards Central Park. When we got there, there was a rather angry redhead there.

"You two, are late. And I had something important to show you!"

"Well, we're here now. What did you want to show us?"

"So I was going around the Internet looking for some interesting stories, when I came across a blog, about this girl who was mugged. She was saved by a person in a hood, who called himself–"

"–Riptide," I said. "I saw the blog."

"Riptide? Why's he called that?" Harry asked.

"Well, apparently, he stopped the mugger by manipulating water."

"I'm still confused."

"Harry, a riptide is a strong ocean current," I explained. The confused look on his face remained.

"Riptide. Ocean. Water," MJ clarified.

"Oh… hehe… I knew that."

"Do you even pay a bit of attention in school?" I vaguely heard MJ ask, I was staring into the park, where I could've sworn that I smelled smoke. Suddenly, my spider sense went off.

"Get down!" I said, pushing Harry and MJ behind a car, just as a bolt of lightning hit the ground, inches from where we were. I looked up to find Electro. I mentally face palmed and turned to my friends. MJ had her camera out and was recording the whole thing. Harry was quietly watching from behind her. They seemed busy, so I wasn't surprised when they didn't notice me sneak off. Sneaking into an alley, I put on my costume and swung back into Central Park.

"Hey, Zappy! Miss me?" I called, landing on a street lamp. I shot webs in his eyes, but he pulled them off. He threw more lightning at me, which I dodged. We played tag a little more, until Electro hit me. I flew back and I could make out a building behind me. Before impact, I had one last thought. Uh oh!

A/N: This chapter ended up a little longer. I hope you people like it. I am trying really hard to keep everyone in character, so tell me if I'm doing a good job, or if there's something I need to fix or improve. R&R!

Expected Update: 3 weeks
