Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I cannot believe we have now reached Chapter 5 already! It has been a blast writing this story so far and tbh with you guys i have no idea how it ends so far! I have been working on some big things i can't wait to reveal soon. This story will be pick for Pete of course but also MJ and Felicia since they are the 3 main characters. Our villain will be revealed soon but i like building up the backstory first.
Chapter 5
"Ladies and gentleman i have breaking news!" Jameson yelled through the phone that Peter was currently listening to.
"It has come to our attention that Spider-Man has been seen playing with cats. NO JARED I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT REAL CATS! " Jameson took a pause and lowered his voice but you could tell he was now speaking through clenched teeth.
"I am talking about the Black Cat, she is in fact back in town and has started causing trouble with that menace Spider-Man! I have it in good authority that these menaces have been lurking on rooftops scouting out their next big score. Now i ask you New York was it not enough that they destroyed the famous MMoCA museum! NO THEN I GUESS YOU, IDIOTS, LIKE PAYING MORE TAXES! "
Peter winced as the podcast ended and put his phone back on his bed. He was in his apartment getting ready to head over to the F.E.A.S.T shelter to help Harry out. The center was getting much busier these days so he could spare an hour or two to help out in whatever way he could. Sighing Peter put some bread in the toaster and waited for it to pop. 2 minutes later the toast was ready and he quickly spread some butter onto it and started to eat it on his way out the door. He wanted to take the subway today, although he did have his suit just in case.
Walking out of his apartment building, he walked downstairs leading to the subway and waited for his train beside the tracks, listening to music in his earphones. He didn't sense someone walking up behind him and touching him on his shoulder. Still he didn't flinch because he knew if it was danger then his sense would have told him. He turned around and seen a smiling Miles.
"Hey Miles, you on your way to the shelter right now?" Peter asked casually as both of them had a one-armed embrace.
"Yeah i am, had 5 new people join the shelter yesterday so i am going in to help them settle then to also help Harry with whatever he needs help with., what about you? i am surprised to see you waiting for a subway, you usually have other forms of transportation. " Miles winked at Peter causing him to chuckle.
"Well,i wanted to feel remotely normal today and take a different form of transportation. However,i am ready to jump into action if anything comes up. "
"Talking about action, when are we going to train again? i promise not to fall off a building this time." Miles whispered the last part so only Peter could hear.
Peter laughed again. "Soon, maybe if the city behaves we can train a little bit on Saturday but make sure you have all your homework done and help Harry whenever he needs it. "
Miles nodded his head and both of them got on the subway and made their way to the Shelter in comfortable silence, Miles messing with his hacking up on his phone and Peter sending a couple of good morning messages to MJ and making sure she has eaten breakfast or lunch depending on the time difference. Soon the train stopped at their destination and they both made their way through the front doors of F.E.A.S.T..
"I will see you around Peter, if you are looking for Harry check his office or the kitchen, that man can actually cook. " Miles said with a chuckle.
"What is that supposed to mean Miles?" Harry asked with an amused voice, obviously hearing the conversation, he walked over and gave Peter a one-armed hug.
Peter laughed at the interaction. "Harry we have been best friends for years, i didn't even know you could cook. "
Harry chuckled. "Well my Mom taught me of course before she died, but i also picked up somethings when i was uh in Europe last year. "
Harry watched as Peter looked at him weirdly for a second and then nod his head.
"So yeah how was Europe? I am not sure that i asked you about it."
"It was okay i guess, didn't quite find what i was looking for but i am sure i will find it one day. Dad seems to believe i will. "
"Where has your dad been Harry? He has been missing for months, no one has seen him "
"I guess he hasn't gotten over the embarrassment he caused himself and his company with all that Devils Breath crap, besides, he is apparently on an assignment he can't tell anyone about. It will apparently get him back in favor with the public. "
Peter listened and mentally shook his head, Norman was up to something that probably wasn't good for anyone, the man was selfish and didn't care who got hurt.
"So Pete what brings you here?" Harry asked his best friend, clearly seeing his mind racing by the look in his eyes.
"I came by to help for an hour before i had to go do some errands. " Peter smiled and picked up a broom.
"Well thanks for that man, i will leave you to it. Time to serve breakfast anyway. " With that Harry walked back to the kitchen and left Peter to start to sweep the shelter with his broom, which took nearly an hour. After he was done, he popped his head into the kitchen and let Harry know he was leaving.
Peter walked out the shelter and into the alley beside it, climbing to the roof where he knew it was quiet and changed into his suit. He was going to try track the group of thugs who was behind the attack on the school. He wanted to know who their leader was, and he was desperate to finish it quickly to avoid any further incidents. The only lead he has was that the explosives were made at Oscorp but what was confusing him was how did thugs get their hands on Oscorp equipment. This meant one thing, another visit to the Oscorp building.
Spider-Man pulled his mask on and started to swing towards the building, looking below he watched as the traffic whizzed by like normal New York traffic would. He loved this city and he loved all the small details it offered, just like the traffic behavior and hot dog carts. Anything that seemed to scream NYC, He loved.
He landed on the side of Oscorp tower and started to scale it, he planned on checking Norman's computer again, since Norman wasn't around anymore, it should be clear. When he reached the vent, he crawled through it and jumped into Norman's office silently. Looking around, he made sure the coast was clear before he got onto the computer and started looking through some files. Skimming through the files he saw, financial records, possible cures for cancer, glider tech software..
"Wait i think i found it!" Spider-Man said to himself and opened a file named Military-Grade Weaponry. He looked at this folder and opened up a file that looked like it was the one. It wasn't all the really found was a schematic for a combat mask, some hand grenades but that's about it. No mention of actual bombs being made.
"Hmm, maybe his personal penthouse? nah MJ would have told me about explosives if she found them."
Spider-Man was interrupted by a noise, which sounded like someone approaching the door. Spider-Man quickly inserted a USB stick and started to download all of the files that looked important and turned the computer off quickly before jumping into the vent again and watched as Norman's assistant walked into the room and put some files on the desk and left.
Spider-Man looked at the USB stick in his hand and jumped from the building, making his way towards his apartment, he wanted to research the files on this stick some more maybe MJ could give him a hand.
He got to his window and jumped through the window and flopped down onto his bed, he got his laptop out and plugged the USB stick into it, cringing at the smashed screen of his laptop.
"I need a new one soon " Peter just sighed and opened the file, once again he tried his best but couldn't seem to find anything.
"Hey Tiger how is your day honey?2 Peter heard MJ laugh at the other end of the line, causing him to smile.
"Well let me see, i went to see Harry, he seems to be sticking to the Europe story, i still haven't found a way to bring up his sickness with him, oh yeah i did sneak into oscorp, i have a small lead on the attack on the school. The Bombs were Oscorp made so i have been looking through Norman's files but cant find anything. Any suggestions? "
MJ laughed at the other end again. "Take a breath tiger. To answer your question i have some ideas but i would need to see the file myself. Mind emailing me the files and i will check them tonight when i have free time?"
Peter smiled " Yes i can do that, i honestly don't deserve you, you are out there in a war trying to spread the story to the rest of the world and now you are helping me with my problems, i really do love you, MJ. "
MJ blushed on the other end of the phone. "I love you too, Pete, that actually means a lot to me. Makes it more worthwhile "
"You are helping a lot of people MJ, i am very proud of you and i am sure Robbie is to. I am sure after your story is published, you will be the new head of the bugle! "
"Fat chance" MJ giggled. Her and Peter continued to talk for another hour or so before hanging up so they could get back to work.
"Boss i have managed to find Yuri Watanabe, she is willing to help us make our bang, on one condition, she wants to only take down ex maggia enforcers, she wants to free the city of the criminal scum "
"Good that will look good for me in the long run, let her continue her work, it should keep the Spider busy while we deal with our bigger plans.
"What are your plans, sir?" The guy asked his boss.
"We are going to be the new kingpin of New York, Fisk is never getting out so its free for me to take. If all my plans come together, the public will see me as their hero instead of Spider-Man. Keep me updated on his exploits. I will make my presence known soon. "
Peter was getting frustrated, he couldn't find anything on the bombs. He threw his laptop down onto the bed and smashed his wall in anger with his fists, causing a hole to appear.
"Ohh an angry Spider. is a sexy Spider. " A sultry voice said from the window.
Peter turned around and tried not to laugh as he looked at Felicia sitting on the table beside his window.
"Felicia how the hell do you keep sneaking up on me?"
Felicia laughed as she walked forward and sat down onto his bed, staring up at him.
"Ah Spider, you know i can't give away my methods. So are you going to tell me why you are having 12 rounds with your wall?"
"Just frustrated, can't find anything i am looking for. "
"About the attack on the school, I'm guessing?" Felicia asked softly as she touched his hand softly and started to wipe the blood from his knuckles.
"Yeah, just the bombs used were made by oscorp but i cant find any reference of them. The only thing i can go on is they looked kinda old, like made in the 90s or something. "
"Damn i don't even have a clue, anything else you can think of?"
Peter shook his head and sat down next to her.
"I just feel like leaving it for the night, i emailed the files to MJ so hopefully, she can come up with something. "
Felicia nodded her head and was about to talk before Peter's phone started to ring.
"Sorry gotta take this, Hey MJ yeah the files went through okay?"
Felicia watched Peter talk to the redhead on the phone, not wanting to get in the way, she walked slowly to the window and looked back at him. She had a sad look on her face and just shook her head and jumped from the room silently, and heading home.
"If only he knew," She said to herself sadly as she continued to make her way home.
I hope you all enjoyed chapter 5! I have been trying to give each character time to shine. Pete, MJ and Felicia are the main characters like i have stated and i have huge plans for all three. I hope you all had a wonderful time reading this chapter and i will see you in the next one!
