Scoff..
Grunt...
Snicker...
Another scoff...
Peter refrained himself from rolling his eyes because it was only going to get him an appointment with an eye doctor which in his case meant a session with Dr Banner. Ofcourse his badluck decided to strike him on the one day when Ned suffered a cold and didn't come to school and he was paired to do a project with his childhood bully Flash Thompson.
Currently Peter was in Flash's huge house where they were completing a project, more like it was him who was doing all the research and writing notes while Flash was busy playing games on his tab. In a way Peter was fine with that, atleast it would keep Flash busy and not insult him with his harsh words
He was so wrong
"Hey penis are you even doing something or just enjoying the view of my house?" Flash didn't even bother to look up from his screen as he directed the question to Peter who clutched his pen tightly "I'm going as fast as I can"
Flash snorted "You going fast means at the pace of a tortoise" he then added "If you didn't finish this in time you'll know the true meaning of hell"
Peter knew it wasn't an empty threat. It didn't matter if he was Spiderman when it came to Flash's bullying. It use to scare him when he was a kid and it still worked on him as a teenager "I'll do it. I just need printouts of these pictures and we're almost done"
Before Flash could reply the room suddenly went dark. Peter jumped a little, blinking his eyes rapidly so he could get adjusted at the new darkness "What's going on?"
"Are you that dumb to understand Penis? The lights are gone you idiot"
"But what about my project?"
"Our project" corrected Flash with annoyance and Peter nodded even though he knew the other couldn't see him "Yeah.. sorry, I mean our project"
"I don't know when the lights will come back so let's get those printouts done at the place near the coffee shop"
Peter frowned "But it's too late to go out at this hour"
"Why, are you scared Parker?" Flash mocked with a laugh
"No. I was just.. I mean how do you even know the place is still open or they even have the lights"
"It's a 24/7 shop with generators. Now C'mon!" Flash blindly reached out and pulled Peter by his collar "Let's get going so we can finish this stupid project and you can call your Aunt to pick your sorry ass"
Peter had no choice but to let himself get dragged by his classmate. He yelped when his knee bumped hard on the side table which was promptly ignored by Flash. Limping forward he followed Flash out of the house, shivering at the chilled air that blew in invisible waves. The night seemed more darker with the streetlights gone, leaving them to follow the path with their phone torches.
A sudden noise caught Peter's attention, hair rising at the nape of his neck, warning for danger. Before he could figure out someone grabbed Flash by his collar and pulled him into an alley "Hey!"
Peter was quicker to react and he followed Flash and his attacker "Stop! Let him go!"
The man who grabbed Flash looked in his late thirties. His clothes were too big for him with stains and holes in them, had an unshaven jaw as he glared at Peter with bloodshot eyes "Stay back or I'll kill him!"
That's when Peter noticed the knife in the man's hand that was placed near Flash's throat. Even in the dim moonlight he could see fear painted all over his classmate's face "Parker..." he pleaded
Peter knew it was plea for help. He could take the man out in seconds but not without exposing his identity "Look man.. don't do anything you'll regret later. Let my friend go"
The man snickered with cruel pleasure "What are you gonna do huh?" he added more pressure on the knife and Flash gasped
Peter took the wallet out of his pocket "You want the money? Take it! Take it all... but please don't hurt him" his voice grew more and more desperate but the man didn't seem to be interested in his offer as he only pressed the knife further into Flash's skin earning a whine from his prisoner
Peter shifted his focus on Flash and tried his best to convey the message that they needed to do something right now. Flash frowned at first but he eventually understood the gist
"No don't!" Peter shouted pointing behind the man who fell for his trick and titled his head, resulting in loosening his grip on Flash for few seconds. It was enough for Peter to reach out and pull Flash away from the man. Only in doing so he put himself into the line of fire.
As soon as the man regained his balance, he lunged for Peter with an angry snarl and gave a knee to the boy's midsection, followed by a punch to his jaw. Pain exploded in Peter's jaw and stomach. Now he could surely survive a few hits but it still didn't decrease the pain whenever it was inflicted on him
"Parker!" Flash screamed when he saw Peter taking one blow after another. He was shocked to see his classmate was able to pull this foolish stunt on his own, the same boy who was a gangling geek and save his life. Panic once again filled his chest when blood smeared on Peter's lips due to one nasty hit by their attacker "Somebody help!"
The man smirked evily and slashed his knife blindly towards Peter. He hit something solid before the boy twisted the his hand, making him drop the knife and gave a well placed kick to his knee. The man was on the ground and Peter jumped on him with his legs pressed on his back. He then punched on his side to weaken his efforts to escape "Flash! Give me your belt!"
Flash nodded unlocking his belt buckle and passed it to Peter who quickly tied the man's hands behind his back. He then pointed at his cell that was on the ground and huffed breathlessly "Call the cops!"
"Cops! Oh Shit, why didn't I think of it before" Flash picked the cell and dialled 911, explaining the situation in brief. He then helped Peter holding the man down until the cops arrived. Their racket had finally called people's attention. A small crowd was forming near them as they watched two teenagers take down a criminal.
A police car stopped at the side of the street, closet to the alley where the two boys were waiting. The two CCPD officers rushed to them and took care of the man. Peter and Flash took couple of steps back giving space for the cops to do their job "Are you boys okay?"
Flash nodded and glanced beside him, frowning when Peter didn't reply "You good?"
Peter gave a small nod before meeting cop's eyes "I'm not sure if this was a mugging. The guy didn't seem to want anything but he had a knife...it's right there"
"Okay I'll get that. It's too late now but you two write down your address and phone numbers. You'll be called tomorrow morning for a statement"
"Yeah sure" replied Flash and gave his home address and number. Next it was Peter's turn. After the two boys were finished, the cop asked them if they wanted a ride back home but Peter denied saying they'd fine by walking since they still had to get the printouts. The crowd was soon dismissed. One of the officer then snapped handcuffs on the man and pushed him inside the car while reading his rights
The second cop wore his gloves and was about to bag the weapon in a plastic bag when his eyes narrowed in confusion "What the hell?" he rushed towards his partner and asked "Is he hurt?"
"This guy?"
"Yeah"
"No. He seems fine to me. Why?"
The cop showed the knife that was covered in blood "I found this.."
They exchanged a worried look
"If this man is not hurt... that means.."
"One of the kid is hurt and probably still bleeding"
