Scarlet and the Spider
Chapter 5
When Peter woke up, his entire head was pounding. No, scratch that, he ached all over. He felt like Han after coming out from carbonate. Was this what a hungover felt like, if so, he was never touching alcohol. Every sound hurt his head, the birds were chirping outside his window, which he usually loved to wake up to, but now it killed his head. He could barely move, that is how much he ached.
Uncle Ben came in whistling, which sounded louder than normal, as if it was being played out of a speaker directly next to his head. Uncle Ben told him to get up, but he simply groaned. Uncle Ben stopped, he hadn't been complaint that he had to get up, it was a groan of pain. He felt his Uncle's hand on his forehead, he vaguely heard his Uncle say that he had a fever. He heard his Uncle shutting the blinds, he could almost feel his Uncle walking back to his door. He sighed in relief after the lights were turned off, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He opened his eyes when he heard someone coming up the stairs, he somehow instantly knew it was Aunt May, wait how did he know that. Well from the sound of it is was someone with a lighter walk than Uncle Ben, but heavier than Ned, so that meant it had to be Aunt May. Wait, how did he pick that up from just from his hearing.
He closed his eyes and focused on the sound of Aunt May, from the clanking of metal, and the slushing, he could guess that she was bring him soup, and the clanking metal was the spoon against the side of the bowl.
Sure enough, Aunt May came into his room carrying a tray, with a bowl of soup and a glass of water. He thanked her, and realised his voice was croaky, he sat up and took a sip of water. He thanked her for her taking care of him. She lightly laughed, and told his it was her job. He smiled and she left him to eat his soup. He ended up spending the whole weekend in bed, and on Monday he didn't go to school. He was sick for an entire week. When Aunt May and Uncle Ben asked how he could have been sick, he claimed that a sickness was moving through the school and people were taking days off school.
Ned brought him his work everyday, they finished it, and then on Friday they watched a movie on Peter's portable DVD player. Peter didn't really pay attention, he'd seen it before. It had fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles. Peter was just happy to spend time with Ned, he could finally go back to school. Yeah, I know, he thought. What normal teenager can't wait to get back to school, well Peter couldn't, his science teacher had said that he would help Peter get a scholarship at MIT, and that was the first step of Peter's dream, it was MIT, Stark Internship, Stark Apprenticeship, CTO in training, Stark Industries CTO, and then he might start his own company, in order to help people. That was a long, long way off. After Ned left, he lay back, rolled over, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Author's Note:
I decided to a lot more focus on the sudden change, especially the enhanced senses, which is partially why he wears a mask, to try and drown out the noise, so to speak.
Sorry about the lack of uploads, I have really busy with school and then my laptop was having issues, I'll try to upload more regularly.
