Hey guys meet my new chapter, this is what most people love about spider-man, The suit I'm gonna base it on that ...mostly
I leaned asleep on cold metal of my locker, I wish I knew I drooled when I slept then I wouldn't be stared at the whole time. Billy nudged me awake and I accdentily hit Harold on the nose, "Uh sorry bud" I said.
Harold glared at me, but didn't say anything, while Billy laughed hysterically. I stared at this girl May Stacy, today I was either asleep or staring at her, did it matter, both were equally embarrassing, I drool either way.
Billy snapped his fingers and I shook my head, "sorry just a bit dazed" I said sleepily, Billy grinned and whispered "how about I tell her you have a crush."
"Don't even think about it"
"Too late, already thought about it"
"I will kill you"
May glanced in my direction and smiled at me, I felt like jumping on a wall. She was just about to walk over until she was interrupted by the bully Jack. He pulled a newspaper and stared at me as I came from space.
"Sup pal, your on the news."
"WHAT
I picked up the newspaper and stared at me (In a photo) with an article about a teen hero.
This boy, Ethan Andrews son of the millionaire James Andrews, fourteen years of age scaled a wall and jumped on top a building with easy grace. He took down a mugger who was worth 2000 dollars, we have sent it to their family but they refused to take it and they all refused to give an interview so there is no much more information.

I stared at the article, while Jack looked at me confused and scared while walking away quietly. I was stared in a different way now, awe mostly. Then the pain began to pierce my shoulder. Billy and Harold picked me up while I focused my eyes.
May came over and inspected me before brushing off my shoulders, She looked at me worryingly "are you okay Ethan?"
I felt like a tractor ran over me but I don't think it was Jack, maybe from yesterday's spider affects. "Yeah, yeah just dazed from yesterday."
Her blue eyes were staring at my blue for so long I felt awkward, she then tore her gaze away and said "uh well we've go History next, you coming." I stared at her walk to class while Billy patted my shoulder and we walked to class.
I sat behind May with Billy next to me. Ms Gregowich was assigning us a presentation on the cold war. We were being given groups, and I was nervous, because this was our first pair project. She called out several names:
1)Arnold and Lisa
2)Monroe and Anne
3)Harold and Julie
4)Arthur and Susan
5)Billy and Jannie
6)Ethan and May
I was paralyzed with what, I wasn't sure if it was excitement or nervousness. Billy moved to sit with Jannie while May moved to sit next to me. We discussed the plans for the cold war actually it went a bit like this:
"So then Ethan, where should we meet up, the library, my place."
"Uh not sure exactly how about we do it on the West beating the Soviet place?"
"That's not what I asked."
"Yeah I like cheese."
"ETHAN"
"I don't know, maybe the library."
"Wait, now you confused me."
"No I didn't"
"Yeah you did pal"
"Listen to me would you May"
"No you listen"
"NO"
"THEN NO"
Our faces were close to each others and I swear when we noticed we both turned red, She looked away while I tried to pull myself together. It was a while before we could look at each other again. The rest of the class we did our report on the cold war and it felt like forever before class ended.
May caught up to me before I let class.
"Meet me at seven, near the internet cafe Kay."
"huh"
She winked and left me staring confused at her. I smiled and shook my head there was still a matter I needed solving and Jack helped me figure it out. A costume, no need to attract any more attention.
I was fed up
I threw my fifth failed attempt to make a costume, it looked like I spilled paint all over it. I was never good at that stuff especially cause I was a pampered rich kid. But I think I know a place which can help me out.
I went out the window no need to tell my mum that I was heading to the Baxter building.
I was crawling through the air ducts of the fantastic four. The doorman didn't let me through saying something about me being a kid and other annoying stuff.
I broke the vent and jumped quietly onto the floor. I should have made stealth webbing, so that no one would notice the broken vent but eh. I stealthily crawled to the labs. There was an electronic hissing.
When you usually hear a scary sound like that you don't check it out but I'm me so of course I check it out. There was a man who had unnaturally long arms and he was 10 feet tall. He somehow stretched into 15 feet to fix something in the top.
I gasped a bit too loud for him to hear me. His hands seemed to expand before clasping firmly to me and then his arms retracted so he could see me.
"uh Sup, sir"
"Who are you and what are you doing here and how did you get past my security?"
"What security?"
"You got past it without noticing, I thought it was foolproof."
"Yeah well, I'm Ethan Andrews and for why I'm here is, I need you to construct a spider man suit for me made of protons because I'm the new spider man." I looked at him hopefully, he probably didn't believe me, cause it was kinda a long shot.
He nodded approvingly like this was the usual "I believe you, no wonder you got past my security, and by the way I have a special suit for you."
He typed a bunch of keys and there was a hissing sound and a pod appeared, it contained a black and red suit. The black fabric was filled with a red web design all over the suit. The fingers were red though.
It glowed every now and then so it meant it was made of unstable molecules. He gestured me to it. I put on the full costume (except for the mask) I stared at the mask, if I wore it my life would probably change and mess up but Richards kept looking at me.
I took a deep breath and pulled on the mask, he whole costume was perfectly designed for me or something, cause it fitted like a dream, I did a few leaps and they were higher then the average.
I hung from my web upside down, "this suit is magic I feel different."
Reed clapped and looked serious all over again "Okay I helped you out right kid, so I'll ignore you sneaking into my headquarters if you do me a favor there is a ruckus down near the empire state building. I want you to deal with it, even though that's kinda our job, If you solve the problem, you keep the suit."
I nodded and was about to say something, Reed typed things in a mini tablet and handed it to me before pushing me into a closet.
I couldn't really hear anything but what I could hear was:
"Reed, was someone here, because Johnny swore he heard something in here"
"Uh no"
"Are you sure, because-
"Come on Sue I have plans for the two of us"
"But Reed-
"Come on"
I opened the door and examined the PDA he gave me. I pressed it and a hologram image of a list, It was suit capabilities.
1)Electricity invulnerability
2)Strength enhancers
3)Fire resistant
That's cool and all but I have to figure out that mess near Empire state building.
7:15 Empire state building
I jumped on a nearby building and checked out the carnage. It was crazy, This guy with a pair of goggles on his forehead. and two sonic emitters on his hands. The sonic booms were so powerful they could make dents in buildings with only half a shot.
I jumped onto the street and webbed the guy in his hair. He turned to face me.
"Who the hell are you freak?"
"Me, a freak, how can you call a web shooting costumed idiot a freak?"
"Are you trying to make me angry?"
"One word, anger issues, wait that's two, so what do you think your doing here?"
"I'm the Shocker and I'm being paid to do oops."
"Smooth pal"
"You won't survive long enough to tell anybody" He shot two sonic blast and it blasted me straight on the chest. I dented a wall. I straightened up and fixed my costume.
"Hey, this costume ain't that comfortable."
Shocker clicked something on his sound cuffs. He tried to shoot me but I jumped on a wall and leaped at him. I was a bit too slow and let him recharge his sonic shots. When it hit me I felt like I was completely deaf. I lost my hearing in seconds.
I tried to get my thoughts together "The fantastic four'll be here any moment and I'll have to lose the costume." I gulped, that's not gonna happen, this suit's now a part of me.
"Hey, you band reject, just cause you got some loud sounds you think you can beat me"
"Pal, this volume was at low, now it's time to make you stay down, I was gonna use it on the Fantastic four but you can be a test run."
He started up his emitters and they actually hummed with power and his hands were shaking wild. None of that's good but I'm spider-man no way I'm gonna lose to a kid like him.
He shot it at me, but for some reason it came at me slowly at a snail's pace, but how sound is second fast only to light.
Wait the tingling sensation yesterday and earlier, it's going crazy, it's like a spider sense. WICKED.
I dodged it easily and shot a web at shockers cuff. He tried to pull it but I used him as a spring and kicked him on the face. When he got up he shot another blast which I dodged easy too shooting and electric web at the same time.
The electric web wrapped around him, and electrocuted him. It looked like I won but he escaped the web and used his shock emitters to hover high.
I used a web line to reach the top of a building in seconds. He charged a blast at me but I used a cement web to break one of his cuffs. He fell because of the loss of balance.
I used another dose of cement webbing to stick him to the pavement. I should have been more careful, he used one last shot to break a building completely. It fell apart and burned.
I glared at him and he grinned before passing out. I switched to Multi webbing and barely managed to stop the rubble falling over. There were cheers and claps everywhere, but there were people inside the building too. Most evacuated in time, but I had to make sure.
I checked the rubble, there were no screams, but I heard a faint cry, it was a kid. I checked the rubble and eventually found a body, I checked the pulse, it was alive.
It coughed, it's a girl. I tried to maneuver trough the fire, but it was spreading rapidly, only one way left. UP
"Is there anybody left in there"
"My kid, GET HER OUT!"
"Sorry pal it's too-
I jumped out of the building, My suit was completely fine, it was fire resistant, I wish I remembered that earlier. I put the kid down and was just about to swing off.
News reporter crowded over me asking me question, couldn't decipher it all. All except one
Who are you
Who was I, I'm not sure anymore, I just felt like taking off the mask and telling them exactly who I am, but it wouldn't be the best idea, fame might overwhelm me. Is that the only reason I'm wearing a mask, I wonder why Peter Parker did it
"I, I'm the... Spider-Man" Only thing I could think off but I swang off before anymore questions appeared. The fantastic four were looking at me too. Reed smiled and ushered them away.
Oh no it's 7:30 MAY
7:45 Internet Cafe
She stirred her juice again and again for half an hour. She felt so angry at Ethan, what the hell did a 14 year old have to do. She didn't know why she was so mad that Ethan didn't make it.
Why, did she like him?
She shook her head roughly and almost dropped her glass. Then she heard something.
A barrage of footsteps
A rough opening of a door
A person cursing
Heavy breathing.
In seconds a tall moderately handsome boy appeared, Ethan.
I looked like I flew around the city.(She didn't know what happened) He sat next to her.
"I am sooo sorry, May" I whined. She glared at me and before I knew it I was dripping head to toe in orange juice. I heard snickering and felt embarresed.
"I deserved that"
"I know you did"
I looked at her she was trying not to smile. A sense of humor and smart, wow she had it all. She gestured to a seat.
"While you were gone, I tried to start the report myself, and honestly I need your opinion cause I'm not sure..."
I didn't hear the rest she was too pretty to concentrate, I stared at her while she kept explaining her results and info she gathered. She noticed and hit me on the head.
"Uh sorry I was kinda distracted" I stuttered "you look nice by the way."
"You too in a wet orange smell type way"
She laughed and I don't exactly remember the rest of the night, just that Spider-man practically saved my date. Was it a date probably not, I was too nervous to ask.
When I headed home two hours later, I could hear crying. I went in and my mum was crying, her cheeks were red and wet. She looked at me and said one thing.
"Me and your dad divorced"
I was speechless and anger boiled inside me, I went to my mum and gave her a hug. She cried on my shoulder. My dad was a total jerk. He left a lot of money in the house, but without him my mum would never be the same.
"Mum why, what happened"
She looked at me with bleary eyes and tried to suck in breath. "H He said, h h he had e enough of being with m me and just d divorced, no explanation no nothing."
I stared at her and realized I was crying as well. "Mum don't worry I'm here."
"I love you Ethan"
"Love you too mom"
I don't know if this was fate but I was gonna pay my dad back for what he did. I clenched my fists while my mum held me. He wasn't gonna get away with this.
Thanks for reading, please review and wait for my next chapter.
