Chapter Three - With Great Power...

Peter Parker's Journal - Entry 42

"Well it looks like i'm finally getting noticed by the public! But not the good public, i'm talking about the critic newspaper public! There's this old man named Jameson who's sending out papers saying that I'm... Well Spider-Man i mean ... is a fraud and a menace! Now, last i checked, I have been cleaning up more crime then the cops have been able to do! But i'm not really surprised, it's just my luck. Maybe i'm not cut out for this Spider-Man thing after all, well I'll give it one more go, maybe Uncle Ben would have a different way of using my powers responsibility in mind... like maybe trying out for the circus! :P, Nah who am i Kidding? I couldn't give it up, even if I always say I will someday, being Spider-Man has done quite a bit of good for me in my life.I have gained more self respect being Spider-Man then i ever could have in Midtown High, it feels good lending a hand to people who are being picked on just like i was...am, whatever. Besides... it will make it all the more sweeter when I prove to Jameson that i am a hero. ;)"


Midtown Science High School -

Midtown high is a moderately okay school, it's big, it's crowded, but it's just like any other school. The hallways are crowded, the food is... well it's food, most of the teachers are nice enough, and the kids are just as immature as 7th graders. You can't walk around the school once without hearing a bunch of teenagers talking like their adults, like how about how much of a stud they are or how much of a slut this girl is. Speaking of which, the teen drama is exactly how it is in the movies if you find the right people in the school. But hey, it's New York, if these kids were mature, the average new yorker would hate to look how the next generations of New York would be. If you really look at it, their are no "cool kids", just big crowds of friends that are most known in the school, and their are the lesser known kids, that's really just it. Peer Pressure is a very real occurrence in school, but really, it's not much of a bother to those who aren't really desperate for that kind of a attention.

Enter Peter Parker; he is his own person really, he doesn't talk to a lot of people, he rides a skate bored around the hall ways, and he is smarter than a good amount of the classes he's in. He loves science, but you can't really take him for a nerd, most think he's an Emo; but really he's just an outcast. People don't really bother him, people don't really talk or think about him, he just exists. Of course, Peter is a growing boy, so he notices a lot of the girls at school. Never having a relationship with any girl besides his Aunt, it's not a surprise that he is a hopeless romantic. But again; he doesn't really come to mind to a lot of girls at the school, "He's nice, he's smart", that's really the only thing anyone would have to say about him. There is one guy though; his name is "Flash", guy from the football team, and a real jerk. He thinks he is king of the school for being good at not just football, but basketball, swimming, and well everything that's physical and not mental; not to mention the guy is built pretty nicely. He found himself teasing Peter a lot though, probably just to look tough. Who knows?


Early in the day, a few minutes before school started, Peter was sitting in the classroom with a few other students. He could hear flash and his friends talking and giggling like little girls behind his back, he heard one of them shush the rest of the kids, approaching footsteps right behind peter. He sighed.

"What ya doing Parker?" Flash smirked, walking up to peter with his hands shoved into his jacket.

"I'm writing Flash, you know, finishing up my homework." Peter mumbled, scribbling down the answers as fast as he can. The answers weren't hard to find out, but had he not have to do patrol again he would have gotten it done last night.

"Really? You should let me copy off of that." Flash reached down for his homework but Peter pulled it away from Flashes reach, "Come on Flash i'm busy!"

"Come on Parker, don't be shy about the homework, we all know you really love me."

"...What?"

He could hear flashes friends start chuckling a bit from behind him, the were trying not to laugh. Peter got it now, they were being jerks again.

"Come on Parker, we all know it, don't deny it now. Just come out of the closet man, admit that you love me."

"Ooh pulling off the homosexual jokes are we?" Peter sighed, he had nothing against homosexuals obviously, but of course their were plenty of people who would just love to joke around on how they thought Peter Parker as gay just for the sake of making fun of him.

"I'm not joking Peter, lets go out, Come on. I'll pay you to just drop your pants and let me fuck you." Flashes face was beginning to cringe from holding in his laugh, his face was red and his friends found it harder and harder to not just burst into tears. What the hell was so funny about this anyways?

"Look Flash, I would, but I think you already have enough slaves to keep you nice and busy over their. " Peter said, gesturing to his other friends.

Flash began to ball his eyes out from laughing, and his friends weren't even offended of peter's comment, they just laughed at him a bit more. Peter looked around at the few other kids who were either looking down or just staring at them all, not trying to intervene or to help in any way. Flash began to pat peters back, still laughing like he just told the funniest joke in the world. "I'm just joking Parker, please keep your pants on." He chuckled and walked back to his other friends.

Peter rolled his eyes and went back to his homework, he could have fixed the problem with his Spidey powers straight away, but he wouldn't dare. Besides it didn't take a lot of anything to know how to beat flash when it came to verbal abuse. "It's okay Flash, I don't judge the mentally incapable." He smirked slightly.

Flash stopped laughing and turned around to face peter, his snarly grin turned into a dumb man cave scowl, "You calling me a retard Parker?"

"What? No! I would never do that! Mentally Challenged people around the world would be insulted if I dragged them down on your level Flash." Peter hated it when people said the "R" word, he wouldn't stand for bulling. If their was a reputation for Parker in this school, it was being a foolish hero whenever their was a kid in need. Hell, in times like this that reminded him why he was Spider-Man in the first place.

"Oh! Alright Fine! I was just joking earlier but now it's personal! Get up Parker!" Flash rolled up his sleeves and put up his fist like a boxer, his friends stopped laughing and they stood back. All the other kids in the classroom just stared at the them, wondering of their was really going to be a fight. Peter shrugged his shoulders and turned away and started finishing up his homework.

"I Said get up! Parker! Parker! I SAID GET UP!.." Flash began to get aggravated when Peter stopped giving him any signs of attention. Peter felt his spider sense go off as Flash approached him, he could avoid him easily, but that's why he's the hero and why flash is the bully. Flash grabbed Peters skinny arms and pulled him out of the chair violently, but before he could do anything else his fast beating heart stopped for a dead second.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?" The female teacher, Ms. Hardy, screamed after entering the classroom. Everyone's head turned to her, some of them going "oooooooooooooh busted", like the mature freshmen they are. "Fighting in my classroom? I'm writing report slips for the both of you! You are freshmen! Grow up!"

"Ms. Hardy! That kid wasn't doing anything!" A girl spoke out to the teacher, she wore a hoodie, skinny jeans, sneakers, and had black streaks on her blond hair, with some black eye lighter. Peter didn't recognize her at all until it occurred to him later that she was probably a new student. Still though, her protest didn't help, security had Peter and Flash both taken down to the office. But it wasn't too long until they decided to let Peter back to class on account of his clean record and the kids in the classroom confirming that it was Flash who was doing the Fighting.

On his way back to the class, he saw the girl again, she was waiting for him in the hallway. "You okay?"

Peter blushed slightly at the girl, no other girl has ever approached him before,"Ah it's nothing, I didn't get into any trouble thanks to you. I'm Peter Parker." He smiled a bit shyly and held out his hand, "School Newspaper."

She looked at his hand for a second hesitantly, but she perked up a smile too and shook his hand, "Gwen Stacy, it wasn't a problem."

"Your new right? Well... Welcome to Midtown High School of Science! Home of the big gorillas and new bread of neanderthals." Peter chuckled slightly, and a bit awkwardly.

But she gave a giggle and a smile back to him, "I noticed. It's better then my other school at least, but I'm not happy about living so close to a place like Oscorp." She sighed.

"Ahh, your one of those "Oscorp Conspiracies" believers too right?" He nodded, still smiling. They both turned and started to walk back to the classroom, continuing their conversation.

"Well sorta, I believe they are doing illegal experimentation's, I mean look at the evidence! The mutated animals that "escaped" the local zoo, the secret vaccinations' that killed a thousand people in the local hospital, and Spider-Man!" She began going through a bunch of bookmarked pages and such on her phone, bringing up a bunch of pictures and notes as "evidence" she called it. Though peter does admit that he didn't think she was wrong. "Just look at this; Oscorp is home right smack in the middle of the city, and SPIDER-MAN just happens to live here? I mean look at the evidence, no way that's a coincidence right?"

Peter had a smashing flashback to his first visit their, the spider bite that pierced his skin and then the sudden feeling of hot liquid flowing though his body. It felt like acid was poured on his neck, and then the part when he got horrible sick. No real reason to revisit those memories though, he's done that too many times ever since he became Spider-Man.

"You know something, I think you might be right about that." He said looking at her smiling. She smiled back at his positive nod on her theories, even though Peter knew they were facts hidden and buried by Oscorp.

"What's really got me concerned though is that they are making some sort of partnership with a Japanese Human Studies group, and I know for a fact it's not for curing diseases or cancer or any of that bull shit that they say."

This perked up Peter's ears, that was a bit odd for Oscorp, considering they were purely a solo company that disliked partnerships. "They are?..well, what do you think they are doing then? Experimenting on humans to create some sort of Human Hybrid or something?" Peter chuckled a bit, trying to act a bit more oblivious to her accusations.

"I thought so at first too, but apparently, their Oscorp isn't the only company in the world with secrets."

She scrolled to find a bunch of Murders and Supernatural occurrences right near the area that this company was held, "And get this, it isn't even a huge company, it's a small military foundation in Japan. So what the hell is Oscorp doing with them?"

"I don't know Gwen..."

'How bout that, I think she's onto something. Note to self; The Daily Bugle is now second on Worlds Crappiest Foundations!' Peter thought to himself.

"We should hang out sometime," she smiled, "I, um, I like the comic book stores in New York... you in?"

"Really? Sure! I love comic books" he blushed slightly at his dorky comment, but what can he say? He had read Captain America in textbooks AND comic books as way back before he knew how to read.

"Awesome! That's a nice Skate bored by the way, is it fast enough to get you to the comic store sometime around, 5:30?"

"Oh, Thanks! Yeah totally!"


Okay now lets look take a look at the situation; Oscorp, a Billion Dollar Corporation, is making a deal with a Government Funding small time Research Facility... and considering the fact that they already have enough money and resources, why would they make deals with such a small corporation?... Or maybe, the small corporation is calling out to Oscorp BECAUSE they have more resources? Maybe they just want more support and their is absolutely nothing wrong going on.

Peter hummed, walking back and forth upside down...on his ceiling. Wearing his Spider-Man suit, it helped him think whenever he was climbing up walls or such, he didn't know why though.

Yeah, Sure. Nothing wrong at all, of course... Yeah Right. If there is "nothing wrong" with Oscorp then I would be thinking about a certain blonde girl right now instead of walking upside down on my friggin' ceiling. I made a mistake saying yes, I need to investigate Oscorp, not run off with a Girl. A cute girl, nice blue eyes, i like the black emo look too..yeah...

"Peter? Dinners ready!" Aunt May knocked on her door, Peter suddenly snapped out of his fantasy and quickly jumped right back into his bed!

"Um, Coming Aunt May!" Peter squeaked, struggling to take off his suit.

"Did you wash your hands?" Aunt may asked, trying to open the door, but finding it to be locked.

"What?" Peter asked, not paying much attention, struggling to slip off the tights, freeing his upper body.

"Did you wash your hands?"

"No not yet!" Peter involuntary snapped at her, still hopping around his room struggling with the tights. Stupid Stupid Stupid! Why did you put on the tights? You don't need tights to think Mr. Straight-A Scholarship student!

"Well go wash them!" Aunt may snapped back.

"Okay!"

"Peter did you hear me?"

"Yes! Aunt may, I said yes, just give me a moment."

"... Are you masturbating?" Aunt may asked suddenly worried.

"What?" Peter squeaked again, but this time he stopped struggling with his suit to face the door, dumbfounded by the question she just asked.

"I know your a growing boy Peter, and it's normal for erm..growing boys to indulge in fantasy."

"No! I'm no-no! No Aunt May! I'm just busy! Please just-I'll be down their in a second!"

"Now I know that I'm not Uncle Ben, but as a girl who was at a time young, I completely understand what you are going through."

"Oh my god! Please aunt may just-Just-I'll be right down just pleaaaaaaaaaase go!" Peter begged, covering his eyes and blocking out all the images that started racing into his mind.

"Just... for the good lord, wash your hands before you come eat if your going to do this." She sighed, he could hear her walking away from the creaking foot steps.

Peter sighed and fell back onto the bed, rubbing his face with his hands. Nice one there, Spidey...

To be Continued...

Not much going on this chapter I know, but i figured it was time to set back and sink into the characters a bit more :3. Besides I think we all know that the corporation, prooooobably just has something to do with Lucy. It just might, It just might have something to do with that. Or it could be a random and unimportant sub plot! Who knows?

This chapter was fun to write anyways, I saw the movie and it was awesome! And I decided I would write this chapter early! :3 There was going to be alot more but I Decided to save that up until the next chapter! STAY TUNED! UNTIL NEXT TIME...
