A.N. If you want me to continue writing a story than you have to show some support. Leave some comments every chapter and follow the story and leave a review after a while. I don't drop anything randomly. How is it going now? I have changed the whole story from the start so what do you guys think now.
After finishing up lunch, Peter left for Uni and since he had linked to the police radio he heard about shooting on the way.
Crime had become common place since so many super villains started popping up, Mutant crimes and crime lords with great power.
Peter found that he was quite lucky he wasn't dead already from all these threats around him. Donning on his suit, Spiderman swung to the scene and took out the gang members with ease.
They didn't even see him coming as he webbed them up nicely and broke their right arms as a warning.
"You see these goggles they are recording your faces and if I see you next time, I will cripple you. Okay, place nice now." Peter whispered into their minds with telepathy causing them immense fear that was increased by his dark appearance.
His glasses recorded each new face into the system and when he met them again it will show up on display.
"Easy guys, I am sorry to interfere with your business but I didn't want you guys getting hurt or these guys running away. Hey hey don't slip there." Peter looked at the cops and one of them shot accidently, and he caught it like it was nothing.
"I did say these toys won't work so chill and let's work together from now on." Peter spoke in a friendly manner and disappeared from sight using invisibility after taking away the guns from the gang members.
He was collecting useful things from criminals that might come in handy.
Finishing up with that Spidey swung through the city to show his glorious forms to the mortals so they might adore him.
It was an exciting experience and many people looked towards him as he really stood out with his black suit, and webs.
The webs disappeared after a few seconds or else he would have ended up causing massive problems.
On his way, he shot webs at any threat that he came across and stopped many accidents that were about to take place.
Even took some photos with kids going to school, it was his first selfie.
It took him an hour and some to arrive at his destination, leaving him only 10 minutes for class to start. The first run was exciting and very useful as Peter could see that these actions would slowly build up his image as a relatable hero.
Heroes that were too out of touch didn't get support from the people down here when things started going wrong as people really don't the hero at all.
Sentry would be that kind of hero and Hulk, both of them were unknown or just plain destructive.
With a good image he won't have trouble from the law enforcement or the people.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Connor." Peter called out as he saw the man in the hallway
"Afternoon Peter, where have you been today?" Connor asked as Peter had arrived early since the first day and would join him when he was free.
"I was with a friend as they need my help with some subjects." Peter answered and took some of the documents from the Doc's hand to help him carry them to class.
"That's good you should make some time for friends. Don't dive too deep into studies and forget about the social life or you might regret it later, okay." Connor smiled as he looked Peter with a happy expression.
Dr. Curtis " Curt" Connors was born and raised in Coral Gables, Florida. He attended Medical school graduating with twin doctorates in biology and biochemistry. It was in college he met Martha and together they had a son Billy.
He became a gifted surgeon who enlisted in the U.S. Army. He performed emergency battlefield surgery on wounded soldiers. However, his right arm was terribly injured in a wartime blast, resulting in its amputation. After returning to civilian life, Doc Connors devoted his life to creating a serum to regenerate lost limbs. Using DNA from reptiles that naturally re-grew lost limbs, Connors had been researching how to replicate the affect in humans.
Connor was a gentle man with a soft personality. He was liked by the students as he was very helpful and encouraging.
Connor saw himself in Peter as the boy was just like him, a genius and a shy person. In the young days he had been into studies too much and had difficulties making connections later.
Doc saw that Peter was gifted so helped him develop further by allowing him to accompany through his life work.
He knew about his financial position so only in his lab could Peter finally show his competence that had been held back for a long time.
They had known each other for 3 years now from the time when Peter came on a trip to this University and it was a fruitful meeting.
Peter and Connor talked to each other by phone, and soon he started visiting the lab where they became best friends.
"I will keep that in mind. Sir, has there been any new developments?"
"Yes, it was a success on the mice. Now we are one step closer to finishing this goal."
"Congratulations Dr. Connor, you can definitely do it." Peter hugged him while holding things with his left arm.
"Thanks, will you be joining today?"
"Of course, I can't step out now at this stage."
"Wonderful, I will be waiting for you." Connor said with a nod and he entered the class before Peter.
Peter entered right after and put down the documents on the desk before taking a seat beside Gwen, who waved at him.
"I didn't know you were close to the Professor."
"I have known him since High School."
"Really, then could you help put in a word for me. I am interested in being his lab assistant and learn from directly."
"Have you tried talking to him?"
"I did but he said not yet, you haven't shown anything special to warrant such attention."
"Professor is really busy now so you will have to wait and you will have to impress him, I am not going to talk him into letting someone in that he doesn't want."
"That's good enough as I just want him to give me a chance."
"Wait for a month or so, I will find you a chance or you can try by yourself in that time. There should be the assignment coming up soon, maybe use that to do it."
"I was thinking same thing and I am kind of excited to see what we can cook up together. I just want to see what this mind of yours will make."
Looking at her ruby lips and twinkling gaze filled with curiosity Peter found it enchanting, she really looked beautiful in this moment.
"Why are you so interested in my head?"
"I have read your articles and your science fair projects. You are genius Peter of course I will be interested."
"You are gonna make me blush if you keep praising me like that." Peter smiled and felt happy at those words.
Every young man likes it when he is praised especially by a beautiful girl.
"You are really different from what I expected." Gwen giggled as she looked at his expression. She had expected to be a serious guy with a dull expression but he seemed kind and playful.
"Never judge a book by its cover"
"I know but sometimes it just happens."
"I know, now shh." Peter said as he turned to the professor as Connor was ready to start.
Gwendolyne "Gwen" Stacy was the daughter of NYPD captain George Stacy and Helen Stacy. As a teenager, she attended Standard High, a rival school to Midtown High where Peter attended.
Unlike most girls, Gwen had always been into science and such. She was a curious girl and spent her time getting those answers but that didn't mean she was anti social.
Gwen had friends and was an outgoing girl filled with confidence. She had never gotten into any romantic relationship because there were no smart boys around her, and she wasn't interested in jocks or people below her intellect.
She had read about Peter in the newspaper articles and knew about him. Even before meeting him at the University she had been looking forward to it to exchange ideas and converse with a person of higher intellect.
The fact that he became friends without any issue was a dream come true and she was benefiting greatly from talking to him.
'I thought he would be weak but his hands and arms are really thick.' Gwen thought as his image really hid the fact that he was probably packed.
She was trained in karate because of her dad so her strength was higher than normal girls. Her father was really protective and trained her how to keep safe. She had a taser, spray and even a stick to take out any threat that tried messing with her.
After finishing up the rest of his classes and having a short talk with Gwen and Harry, Peter joined Connor in his lab.
Today was the big day for Peter as well since he hadn't seen the success stage of this procedure. Every mouse till now had died immediately after the transfusion.
It was a big project that could fix so many problems in the world and make the doctor very rich plus get his dream to come true.
Peter knew about the doctor's complex because of the missing arm and wanted this to come true. It was lucky that the experiments had shown some results or the funding might have been cancelled soon.
Just to be sure Peter had reminded the doctor to be careful in the testing phase as he didn't want the man to get too excited and make hasty decisions.
"Look Peter, a miracle." Connor muttered in a serene tone as he showed Peter a rat re-growing its missing limbs.
It was a miracle that could help the people and a serum that could be weaponized in the wrong hands but that was the truth for many things and the benefits outweighed the negatives in this situation.
"Wonderful, doc, what are you going to do now?"
"I have kept watch on the subjects and seen no negative implications yet even after changing the surroundings. So we will test it on a monkey now before we go to human trials." Connor replied as the assistants brought in the new subject to be tested while he wished he could inject the serum into his blood already.
Peter watched as the new test subject will placed safely in containment, cleaned up and injected with the serum after taking its readings.
It was missing a hand and once the serum was injected, the animal thrashed around feeling intense pain and screamed loudly before it lost consciousness and a new hand grew.
Everyone was holding their breath at the scene and it was made worse by the screams of pain.
"It's a success."
"No, there is something wrong with it." Peter stopped the assistant from going inside as his eyes caught the changes.
The monkey had grown some scales on its hand and the nails were extremely sharp.
"Check everything" Connor ordered as he analyzed the new subject.
It was a partial success but it won't sell in the public sector like this. They need to wait and see what else happened to the subject.
He couldn't wait for the beast to wake up so the doctor prodded it with a mechanical arm causing it to wake up after some tries.
Its eyes had become like a reptile and as they watched it, the beast started to become aggressive very quickly.
"It's a failure, check what went wrong."
"It's affecting its mental facilities and causing a mutation or the mutation is causing the vessel to become aggressive." Peter muttered
"Maybe the clashing personalities of the species are causing the affect but we will only know more after the tests."
Peter nodded and watched the testing take place before they started working on trying to fix the problem.
The issues of mutations and aggressiveness ruined the product. They needed to be fixed, at least the aggressiveness needed to go if the doctor wanted to hand in this home work to the military.
They wouldn't mind some mutations if the product did the job properly without causing other problems.
It went on for hours and soon enough it was already 10 P.M, they had worked with minimum rest and everyone was exhausted except Peter.
Leaving the others to take a nap, Peter left the premises when he heard his radio talk about an attack.
'It's hero time.' Peter thought as he changed into Spiderman and swung towards his new destination.
Few miles away from his University, a tall man with blonde hair wearing an unusual suit of red and blue with some grey pants was making a scene.
It seems like he was the new super villain on the block and called himself Supercharger. He had attacked the bank, took out the valuables and made a mess of everything around him.
From the looks of it, anyone could see he just wanted to cause chaos and they wouldn't be wrong as that was Ronnie Hilliard's aim.
Ronnie Hilliard's father was a scientist who was interested in the steadily growing class of superhumans, and performed experiments into the mutagenic effects of superhuman powers. The two worked side-by-side on the project, but an explosion in their power generator during an experiment killed Ronnie's father.
Ronnie discovered that the accident had granted him superhuman powers. Enraged at his father's death, he blamed the existence of superhumans for leading his father to his doom as the incident had taken place because of superhumans fighting close by, and vowed to use his own superhuman powers to make others turn against superhumans.
He could see the super heroes were earning the adoration of the people and he couldn't take it anymore.
The monster had caused the death of his only family, his idol with no consequences. He had only been given an apology in return, no justice.
The villain responsible was roaming free and the hero involved had probably forgotten about it by now.
This world was cursed by these monsters that played with their lives. They needed to be eradicated, not loved and accepted.
The grief and rage at the unfairness of the world drove him to madness along with the change in his genetic structure.
"Have a taste of my powers, don't you love Thor than try my lightning." Supercharger said in a sarcastic tone as he shot out electricity from his hands and destroyed some police cars.
"I think it's not marvellous enough so let me show you something better." Supercharger grinned as he tore the overhead electric wires and his body shone with immense power.
The police shot at him but the bullets were burned before they could touch him.
"Hey guys, having some trouble again." Peter arrived on the scene where the lights were still on so people could see him clearly.
He greeted the cops with a friendly tone before turning to his foe.
"Hey dude, come on man nobody wants to handle a bloody power outage. You know how boring life gets in the dark. It will be total anarchy in this place."
"That's what I am aiming for freak."
"Hey that hurt my feelings I look awesome in this suit unlike you. Did your husband make it for you? Haha" Peter said in a playful tone to rile him up and weaken his focus.
"Your mother made it for me." Sc roared and released a powerful beam of electricity that Peter only dodged because of his spidey sense.
'Damn, I almost died.'
"My mother's dead, you parasite." Peter replied as he shot few wind bullets at him that disrupted his currents and webbed him before dragging him away from the wires and smashing him into the ground.
'Oh Shit!'
"Are you alive?"
"Ugg..ug" The man was barely alive from the impact as his bones had been fractures and he was bleeding heavily from his head.
"Okay guys, you can handle it now since he pretty much crippled and shouldn't be hard to move around. I went hard on him as he had no intention of leaving this place without killing you all. Look at that damage and think if it had been lower what would be the result." Peter said as he pointed at the top of the building where he had been standing, it had melted completely.
"What are you?"
"Are you a mutant, alien or one of us?"
"Does it matter? I am doing good because I want to and what I am won't change that. You guys should really stop thinking of Mutants as your enemies, they are just like humans. Good and bad, there is no difference except they are born with powers. I will stop here but you get the point so see you next time." Peter smiled and disappeared from view leaving a battered superhuman and the police along with a small crowd watching from afar or from the roof tops.
'Where is Jess now?' Peter wondered as she was supposed to be training according to the plan he made for her but he didn't know if she followed through or not.
