Notes: This is where Peter enters my AU. I hope you enjoy my twist on Spiderman's origins. As always I own nothing. Also to note, for a while the story will switch between both Peter and my OC Oliver as they go about their adventures. Their stories will merge later.
Chapter 2: Peter Parker Takes the Stage
15 year old Peter Parker of Queens NY was not the popular kid in class. In fact he was quite the opposite. Peter was smart, top of the class really, but socialy, most at school thought Peter was nothing more than a scrawny curly haired loser. If only they knew his secret, a hidden set of events that made Peter Parker so much more than meets the eye.
Life changed forever for Peter in late March. It all started with an anouncment by Peter's home room teacher. "Alright everyone listen up." called Mr. Harrington "Im pleased to anounce that our school has been allowed to select a group of talented students for a tour of OsCorp industires." The class began to murmer excitedly before Mr. Harrington spoke again. "As I was saying OsCorp has allowed Midtown High to send a select group of its students as a way to enrich young minds to shape our future. With that Id like inform you that four students from this class were selected for the group." Another round of excited talking broke out. "Who do you think it is dude??!!" asked Ned Leeds excitedly. The round faced dark haired boy was Peter's best and only friend. "No clue, except its probably not me." replied Peter sullenly. "Dont sell yourself short like that! Your the smartest guy I know, and everyone knows your one of the best in class." Ned replied ernestly. Peter smiled a bit at his friends praise, and turned his attention back to the teacher at the front of the room. "Now without any more interuption. I would like to congatulate these four students. when I call your name come to the front...Ned Leeds,...Michelle Jones,...Peter Parker,...and Eugene Tompson. Great job. This is a huge honor for you I'm sure." The news resulted in a round of applause and more chatter as the four students made their way to the front. Ned was literly shaking with excitement, and Peter himself was to shocked for words. Michelle Jones or MJ as most called her seemed indifferent. Last bit not least was Eugene or Flash as he was known as. Flash was a star athlete and a spoiled rich kid to boot, so being chosen for a trip like this was all the invitation he needed to act as smug as possible. The worst part was though, Flash was also the school bully and his favorite target was Peter. When the four had gotten their premission slips and were returning to their seats, Flash came up behind Peter and whispered, "Feeling good Puny Parker? Everyone knows you were chosen out of pity because you got into Midtown on a scholarship." Peter chose to ignore the other kid. He knew he and Ned had a reason to be proud, and knew Uncle Ben and Aunt May would agree.
All soon enough, the day of the field trip came and Peter found himself seated next to Ned as the bus carrying themselves, MJ, Flash, and 16 other Midtown highschool students pulled up in front of OsCorp. The teacher in charge checked her list before having the students file off the bus. "This is gonna be so awesome!!!" gushed Ned. "I know" Peter replied as he stared up at the building in front of them. From there they enterd a large lobby with dark walls and silver accenting. After the group filed inside and received their visitor passes at the front desk, they were led to an elevator and proceeded up. When Peter filed out of the elevator he and Ned were mesmerised by the many displays of various OsCorp projects. their guide proceeded to explain some of them before leading them to an interactive display about bioengineering. She then turned to the group and began to explain that OsCorp was currently studying DNA using spider specimens. Fallowing up the guide turned to the group and asked. "Would anyone know what good animal DNA study would be?" Peter raised his hand. "You there" said the guide. "In the red jacket, Mr. Parker is it?" "Yes ma'am" responded Peter, "Many animals have abilities that could be very useful if recreated by humans." he explained. "Like a spiders webbing or a Lizards ability to regrow limbs." "Very good Mr. Parker." praised the guide. Ned gave Peter a high five while Flash pouted at not being the top student. Just as the group started to move on, an alarm began to blare, and an announcement came over a speaker. "Attention!!! There has been a breach of bio lab five." The class began to panic. "Whoh this just got real fast." exclaimed Peter "No joke" said Ned. "Everyone please proceed to the lobby to meet your bus. I'm sorry it had to end, but to ensure your safety we are cutting the tour short." The class made a very unruly dash for the elevators as Flash called out "This is probably all Parker's fault!!!" "Shut up Flash!!!!" MJ snapped moving by. "Anyone with half a brain can see your the idiot of the group anyway." On the elevator ride down Peter wonderd what caused the breach. chemicals maybe? It was then he felt a crawling sensation on his the back of his neck. He reached back but felt nothing. Soon the elevator arrived at the ground floor and the class rushed out. Flash made a point to shove Peter aside. Peter stumbled but caught up. As he was running to catch Ned he felt a stinging pinch on his neck and he instinctively slapped the spot. He felt something small. fall off and now he seen the culprit. A red and blue colored spider now dead, was laying on the floor. Peter didn't have time to think though his class was already boarding the bus and he knew better than to stick around too long.
Peter spent the remainder of the school day feeling off. He felt tired, a side effect he assumed from running out of OsCorp to escape a lab accident. When he arrived back to his Aunt and Uncles apartment in Queens he was feeling downright nauseous. Ben and May were still at work so they were not around to see Peter run to the bathroom and suddenly, and violently vomit into the toilet. When he'd finished he rose up to splash cold water on his face. Peter then reached for the towel to dry his hands but when he tried to put it back, it stayed in his hands. He shook his hand but the towel stayed stuck. Oh no. thought Peter nervously. I think I found out what that lab breach was.
