"My name is Peter Parker andthis is the story of my life. I was just an ordinary kid from Queens living the normal life, until this day happened. This is where it all began, wherer my journey as Spider-Man begins." Peter narrates about his life story.
Today is August 10th, 2021, at the Parker Residence in Forest Hills, Queens, Peter is still in bed sleeping until the alarm rang, he hit the snooze button. He woke up and put on his glasses. Peter is a teenage boy about 5' 7" with brown hair and brown eyes, he's a science prodigy with a very high IQ. He looked around the room and sees his science awards, a picture of his younger self with his parents Richard and Mary both of whom they've passed away in a plane crash He walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and washed a bit of water in his eyes. The door knocked as Peter exited the bathroom and opened the door, it's his Aunt May.
"Aunt May?" Peter is surprised to see his Aunt May in his room.
"I'm glad that you're awake, I've made breakfast." May smiled for nephew on his special day.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Peter says to May.
Peter is smiling because he get to have his favorite breakfast that May made, but more than that it's because today is a special day in Peter's life.
(Downstairs)
Ben and May are at the table as they watched the mini tv in the kitchen.
"The summer weather today sure is bright and warm, if you're out there relaxing on a beach, then it is recommended that you put plenty of sunscreen. In other news, approximately 14 hours ago, CEO of Stark Industries Tony Stark has been missing since his helicopter got shot down by insurgents in the Gobi Desert, so far there have been no ransom demands and no proof of life. For now our prayers are to the missing Titan, wherever he is, if he's still alive."
"Can't believe that this had to happened to a nicer guy." May says to her husband Ben.
"Unfortunately that's the world we live in, a lot of good people gets hurt or worse, and not a lot are willing to help one another. There are no heroes." Ben says to his wife May.
"But not you, you're the most responsible man I've ever known, the man I fell in love with." May smiled at Ben.
"How did I ever get lucky to have you?" Ben smiled at May.
May and Ben are in a moment until Peter came downstairs and sees them.
"Sorry... did I ruin the moment?" Peter wondered about what's going on between them.
"No, no, of course not. Please sit down and have some wheatcakes." May invites Peter for breakfast.
"These two are my Uncle and Aunt, Ben and May Parker. They're basically the closest thing I have to parents ever since my real parents died in a plane crash. I guess you can say that I'm like a son they never had." Peter narrates about his uncle and aunt.
Peter sat down and eat some wheatcakes, his favorite breakfast. He chews and smiles as he loves the wheatcakes every time.
"Mmm, you make the best wheatcakes as always." Peter smiled at his Aunt.
"I'm glad that you're pleased. By the way, happy birthday Peter." May smiled at Peter.
Today is Peter's birthday, he just turned 15 years old. The doorbell rang as someone is outside the door.
"I'll go get it." May walked up to the door.
She opened it up and sees Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy, Peter's best friends. Mary Jane is a teenage female about the same age as Peter and Gwen, she stands at 5' 6" with red hair and green eyes, she's got some freckles on her face and her skin. Gwen Stacy is a female standing at 5' 5" with blond hair and grayish-blue eyes, she wears her black headband as always, both girls are equally beautiful as Peter finds them both attractive as do most boys their age.
"Gwen, Mary Jane." Peter is glad to see Gwen and Mary Jane.
"Happy birthday Tiger." Mary Jane walks inside smiling at Peter.
Peter got up and walked towards them both. Peter and Mary Jane hugged, then Gwen hugged Peter after.
"These are my two best friends, the redhead is Mary Jane Watson, all her friends call her MJ, she's my next door neighbor, I first met her since the day she moved in with her Aunt Anna. To tell you the truth, May and Anna secretly wanted to pair us up together since before we ever met. I always thought of her as not good looking since I never met her before, but as soon as I saw her, my view on her changed, she's beautiful, a lot of guys wanted to date her." Peter narrates about Mary Jane Watson.
"Happy birthday Peter." Gwen smiled at Peter.
"The blonde girl is Gwen Stacy, the smartest girl in Midtown High, I've met here through Harry since they've gone to elementary school together. Like Mary Jane, she's very beautiful too, though she prefer to spend her times studying and getting good grades, kinda like me." Peter narrates about Gwen Stacy.
"Thank you both for coming, it means a lot. Too bad Harry is still in Paris, I miss him." Peter is glad that his two friends are here.
"Yeah, he's quite a lucky guy, being rich and all that." Mary Jane says to Peter.
"Anyway, me and MJ wanted to be here for you." Gwen says to Peter.
"Thanks, you're both the greatest friends I ever had." Peter smiled at Gwen and Mary Jane.
In the backyard, Peter and the others are outside as they're having a barbecue with Ben cooking. There's very few people at the party which is no surprise for Peter since he's hardly popular given that he's the only wallflower at his school.
"Guessing that no one else is coming." Peter wondering as it's only Gwen and Mary Jane.
"Knowing them, Flash, Liz, Kong, and everyone else is still at Rockaway Beach as always, enjoying the waves." Mary Jane is not that surprised.
"Even if they're not, I'm not surprised, to them I'm just Midtown High's Only Professional Wallflower." Peter says to the girls.
"Peter, I'm sorry if we're the only ones here." Gwen says to Peter.
"It's okay Gwen, I'm use to it, being invisible to everyone. Besides it's enough to have you two here, my friends. That's all that matters." Peter smiled at the girls.
Peter's phone is ringing, he pulled it out and sees that Harry is calling for face video, he answered it.
"Hey Harry, I was wondering if you're ever gonna call. How's Paris these days?" Peter says to Harry on the phone.
"It's great, though Dad mostly focus on business these days. I'm at the Eiffel Tower getting the hood view of Paris, i think that I can see across the pond to your house, I see someone small in the backyard of Queens, he kinda looks like you, all nerdy." Harry says a joke and smiled.
"Very funny." Peter smiled to Harry. "So when will you be home?"
"As soon as Dad is finished, we should be back home before school starts. Someone needs to watch your back with Flash Thompson and the others jocks." Harry says to Peter.
"Hey." Mary Jane intervened and took the phone."Don't forget that I was the one watching both your backs."
"Of course, Mary Jane can take care of herself and others. Still the fiery redhead as always." Harry says to Mary Jane.
"That's right, don't you ever forget that, Harry Osborn." Mary Jane reminded Harry.
"Never MJ." Harry said as Mary Jane hands the phone back to Peter. "Listen I gotta go, promise to bring you a souvenir."
"Okay Harry, see you soon." Peter says to Harry.
"By the way, happy birthday Pete." Harry says Happy Birthday to Peter.
"Thanks Harry." Peter smiledat his friend.
Harry hanged up, Peter and his friends got back to the party.
"By the way, have you heard about what happened to Tony Stark?" Gwen tells Peter about what happened to Tony Stark.
"No, what about him?" Peter didn't heard about the news.
"Apparently his helicopter crashed down somewhere in Asia, no one knows if he's alive or dead." Gwen explained to Peter what happened.
"Couldn't happened to a nicer guy. The Stark Expo is tonight and my uncle got us tickets to go." Peter reminded of the Stark Expo.
"Well, the expo is still on even though Tony Stark won't be hosting it tonight." Gwen says to Peter.
"It should be fun." Mary Jane says to Peter and Gwen.
"Are you sure that you don't want to go MJ?" Peter asking Mary Jane.
"I'm sure, I'm not really into science like you two are, no offense." Mary Jane says to Peter and Gwen.
"None taken." Peter says to Mary Jane.
Ben is at the grill as the wieners are cooked and the food is ready.
"Alright everyone, dogs are up!" Ben called to everyone.
"Do you kids want mayo or mustard?" May asking the teens.
"Mayo? Who puts Mayo on a hot dog?" Mary Jane wondered about that.
Sometime later after the barbecue is finished and the sunsets, everyone is inside about to celebrate Peter's birthday. May came out with a birthday cake with candles lit on.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Peter! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone singed in unison.
"Make a wish Tiger." Mary Jane smiled at Peter.
Peter closes his eyes and thinks of a wish, he then blew out the candles, everyone clapped together.
"So what did you wish for?" May is curious about his wish.
"Aunt May, I can't say it or it won't come true." Peter can't say to May.
"Sorry, I forgot, don't jinx it. Okay, anyone wants cake?" May asking everyone.
Later everyone enjoyed their slices of cake, Ben and May walked up closer with a present for Peter.
"Well Peter, me and May pitched in together to get you this." Ben hands a present.
Peter opens up the present and pulls out a new camera.
"Oh wow! This is perfect!" Peter holds his new camera.
"We figured since photography is your hobby, you would like it." Ben says to Peter.
"It's perfect, thank you." Peter thanked his uncle.
"Why don't you test it out?" Mary Jane suggested to Peter.
"I have an idea." Peter thought of something for the camera.
Peter set the camera on the table as everyone got together in front of the camera, he set it automatically for a shot, he ran up and joined the group for a picture.
"Alright everyone, smile!" Peter says to everyone.
Peter, Ben, May, Gwen, and Mary Jane all got together and smiled as the camera took the shot. Peter went over to see the shot.
"Well, how was it?" Mary Jane asking Peter.
"It's perfect." Peter smiles as he got the picture.
Ben check the watch and sees that it's 6:30 PM.
"We should get going, the Stark Expo is about to start soon." Ben reminded Peter and Gwen about the Expo.
(Later Outside)
Peter came out of the house wearing a long sleeve shirt with a Stark Expo t shirt over it, he brought his camera that May and Ben gifted him for his birthday.
"Have fun at the expo." May smiles at Peter.
"That's the plan." Peter smiled back at May.
Ben is already inside the car waiting for Peter and Gwen.
Ben honked the horn. "Come on, we're gonna be late!"
"We're coming!" Peter turn to May. "Bye May."
Peter gave May a kiss on the cheek as Peter and Gwen both got inside the car.
"You kids ready?" Ben says to Peter and Gwen.
"We're ready." Peter says to Ben.
Ben drove the car as May and Mary Jane watched those two drive off. They're driving around in Forest Hills until Peter sees someone standing on top of a rooftop of a house they're passing by, it looked like a red haired female. Gwen noticed Peter is distracted looking out the window.
"Peter? Is everything okay?" Gwen asking Peter.
"Huh?" Peter turn to Gwen. "Yeah, everything is fine."
He turns his head back to see that the same woman has disappeared, the car kept driving as the unknown individual is watching the car drive away from Forest Hills.
They all later made it to the Stark Expo in Flushing Meadows, they look through the car window as a lot of people are attending. Ben's car stopped as Peter and Gwen are exiting, Ben still stayed behind in his car.
"Alright you two, be careful and have fun on your date!" Ben smiled as he drives away.
"Hey! We're not..." Peter blushed a bit.
Peter was too late as Ben drove away, Peter felt embarrass in front of Gwen Stacy by what Ben just said.
"Sorry... he must've thought that you and I are... never mind. Shall we?" Peter says while blushing to Gwen.
"After you." Gwen smiled at Peter.
Peter and Gwen attended the expo as they walked around and sees a lot of inventors and scientists showing off their work.
"Wow, this place is a gold mine." Peter is amazed by the expo.
"You can say that again." Gwen is also amazed too.
They arrived at the auditorium as a lot of people have gather around, they've heard about the recent incident with Tony Stark. Taking the stage is Tony's secretary Pepper Potts with a mike as she has much to say concerning Tony's disappearance.
"Hello everyone... my name is Pepper Potts... I'm sure that most of you are aware that Tony Stark is currently missing. I'm sorry to say that he won't be joining us this night to host this event. But I'm sure that he would want this expo to continue. As of right now, US intelligence and military officials are working to find Mr. Stark as we speak. Our prayers are to Tony, wherever he is. Until then thank you for attending the expo and have fun." Pepper Potts finished saying to the crowd.
(Sometime Later)
Everyone continues the expo, Peter and Gwen arrived at the booth where famous scientist Reed Richards is unveiling his new invention, the fabric made from unstable molecules. Peter and Gwen are amazed by this new fabric and all its potential.
"As you can, this fabric can be used to adapt to the individual's needs, becoming like a second skin. Hopefully scuba divers or astronauts will find this product very interesting." Reed Richards explained his invention.
"Wow." Peter is impressed by what Reed Richards said.
Peter took a picture as he and Gwen moved onto the next booth. They see another scientist named Hank Pym demonstrating his invention, a gray helmet with antennas he's now wears on his head.
"This is an EMP communications helmet, it replicates the same frequency that the ants uses to communicate with one another. In other words, I can use it to command the ants to do as I please. If I may demonstrate." Hank Pym explained how his device works.
Hank brought some ants inside the terrarium and uses his device to communicate with them, the antennas are sending signals to the ants.
"Come out." Hank Pym commands the ants.
The ants inside are obeying Hank's commands as they're crawling out onto the glass and climbing up. Everyone is amazed that the ants are following orders.
"Cool." Peter took a picture.
"This is only the first of many of my work, I'm already working on something that could be a game changer." Hank Pym said.
"What is it?" Gwen is curious about his new work.
"Sorry, can't say yet. My work is only a year or two from becoming a reality. But I can assure you that my work is promising." Hank Pym says to the crowd.
Peter and Gwen smiled as they continue their tour around the expo.
"Wow, a lot of great idea all in one place." Gwen smiled as she's more impressed.
"Yeah." Peter is impressed too.
Peter looked around and sees the same red haired woman in a coat wearing red shades. Peter walked towards her trying to get through the crowd as he came close. He gotten through but she was already gone. He's positive that it's the same woman he saw on the rooftop of someone's house, he wonders if she's following him as it's no coincidence that she shows up at the expo, Gwen came up to Peter as he looked distracted like before.
"Peter!" Gwen came to him.
"Gwen, did you see her?" Peter asked Gwen.
"See who?" Gwen is wondering.
"Ah... never mind." Peter didn't say much to Gwen.
They looked around and sees a booth where a man is showing off his work on spiders.
"Shall we see?" Gwen suggested to Peter.
"Why not." Peter went along with Gwen.
They went to the booth and see the spider, though they're not like any they've seen before, they're red and blue.
"See something that caught you eyes?" Jonathan Drew asking Peter and Gwen.
"Uh yeah, never seen spiders like these before." Peter is still curious about the spiders.
"Well these are genetically modified spiders, not like any common spider that ever existed." Jonathan Drew explained.
"And you are?" Gwen wondered who he is.
"Oh, we're are my manners, I'm Dr. Jonathan Drew, I'm a professor at Oxford and geneticist that specializes in arachnids, like spiders. These spiders right here are the result of taking certain traits of other species of spiders and combining them into theses fifteen super spiders." Jonathan Drew explained what these spiders are.
Gwen looked at the terrarium and noticed that they're only fourteen spiders inside, one is missing.
"Ah, there's only fourteen." Gwen noticed something.
"I beg your pardon?" Jonathan Drew says to Gwen.
"Looks like one is missing." Gwen explained to Jonathan Drew.
Peter and Jonathan looked at the terrarium more closely and confirms that only fourteen spiders are accounted for. Unknown to them, one of the super spiders is loose and hanging above the booth.
"Huh? I guess the little bugger must've gotten loose." Jonathan Drew lost a spider.
"You think that it's still around?" Gwen is wondering if it's still here.
"Most likely it got squashed by the crowd. At least the others are still inside." Jonathan Drew thinks that it's most likely dead.
Peter looked what's next to the terrarium, it looked like. formula of some kind.
"Dr. Drew, what is this?" Peter asking about the formula.
"Oh, these are the chemicals makeup of the webbing they produce. We collect a sample from them and reverse engineered it, this is the result." Jonathan Drew explained the formula.
Peter holds his camera. "May I?"
"Of course." Jonathan Drew gave permission.
Peter took a picture of the web formula, unknown to him, the super spider lower itself down from its web and got onto his back without him knowing it.
Peter's phone rang, it's Uncle Ben calling.
"Hey Uncle Ben." Peter answered the phone.
"Peter, it's almost 10 o'clock, I'm on my way back to pick you two up." Ben reminded Peter that he's coming.
"Okay, we'll be waiting at the pickup lane." Peter hangs up.
"Your uncle?" Gwen says to Peter.
"Yeah, listen we gotta go. Thank you for showing us the spiders." Peter says to Jonathan Drew.
"Of course, have a good night you two." Jonathan Drew waves them both goodbye.
Peter and Gwen walked away to be picked up by Ben, unknown to Peter, the super spider is still on his back.
The mysterious woman is in the crowd watching as Peter is leaving with Gwen.
"And so it begins." Mysterious woman says to herself.
Ben picked up both Peter and Gwen from the expo and took them both home, but first they stop to drop off Gwen at her dad's house in Queens.
"Here we are, this is your stop." Ben says to Gwen.
"Thank you Mr. Parker for the ride." Gwen thanked Ben.
"Of course, I'm glad that you two had a great time." Ben says to Peter and Gwen.
Gwen stepped out of the car. She stopped at the door and waved to Peter.
"Bye Peter." Gwen waves to Peter.
"Good night Gwen." Peter says to Gwen.
Gwen went to her house as she enters it, Peter can't deny that he sure had a great time. Unknown to him, the spider crawled up to his neck and bit him.
"Owww!" Peter felt the bite.
Peter hits behind his neck and killed the spider.
"Peter, are you okay?" Ben looked worried.
"Yeah, I think that I was bitten." Peter still feels the pain.
"Oh, i see." Ben smiled at Peter.
"See what?" Peter is wondering what Ben is thinking.
"You have a crush on her." Ben guessed what's going on between Peter and Gwen.
"What? No, no, she and I aren't... she's my best friend." Peter blushed embarrassingly.
"Hey, I'm not judging, I know May and Anna wanted to pair you up with Mary Jane who is pretty, but Gwen is just as pretty too. It's okay Peter, it's natural to feel this way for a girl." Ben is happy that he thinks that Peter has feelings for Gwen.
"I'm sure that it is, but Gwen and I are just friends. Could we just go home please." Peter still blushed in embarrassment.
"Okay, take it easy." Ben got back to driving.
Ben drives the car home while Peter is still in the back as he reach his hand around his neck. He held something in his hand, it's a spider. It's one of those super spiders from the expo that Dr. Drew demonstrated, thanks to him it's dead.
Later Ben and Peter arrived home to see May inside.
"Hi Peter, how was the expo?" May is curious about his trip to the expo.
"It was alright, listen I feel tired right now. I'm gonna sleep now." Peter felt a bit tired.
"Can you at least show us some pictures Peter?" Ben says to Peter.
"Yeah, I'll show them tomorrow, I promise." Peter walked upstairs.
Peter left his aunt and uncle downstairs, he enters his bedroom as he began to feel something strange happening to him, he could barely keep his thoughts straight. He laid down onto his bed as he tries to sleep it off. He began to feel pain in his body as it feels like it's on fire. Muscles in his arms are growing slowly as he's feeling the change to his body. His whole life as he knows it has been changed forever.
The next morning, Peter is still in bed after the rough night he had. The alarm clock rang as he hit the snooze button hard and broke it into pieces. He got himself up as he looked around for his glasses. He found it and put them on, he sees a blur through them. He took them off and finds out that he could see better without them. His eyesight are better than ever before.
"Wow." Peter is amazed by his eyesight.
He looked at his clothes he's wearing and noticed that they stink.
"Must've sweated too much last night, better get cleaned up." Peter says to himself.
Peter went into the bathroom and took off his shirt. He got surprised by his appearance, he grew abs and muscles in one night. He's had slim figure with very little muscles before, but right now he has a lean yet muscular figure. He touched his muscles and felt them hard, he felt stronger than ever before.
"My god... they're real." Peter is shocked by the changes happening to his body.
The bedroom door knocked as May is outside.
"Peter!" May says outside his room.
"Yeah!" Peter still nervous inside the bathroom.
"Are you alright?" May says outside worried.
"Ah... I'm fine!" Peter replied to May.
"Okay, breakfast is ready! Don't take too long!" May says outside his room.
"Okay! I'm gonna get cleaned up! I'll be there as quickly as I can!" Peter says to May while inside the bathroom.
Peter grabbed a towel for the shower he's about to, he hangs it up on a hook until it got stuck on his hand for some reason. He pulled it out of his hand. He couldn't figure out how that happened.
"Whoa! This is freaky." Peter is shocked by what just happened.
(Later Downstairs)
Peter came down as he felt happy as to the new changes that happened to him recently.
"Hey Peter! You seemed livelier than usual." Ben smiled at Peter.
"What do you mean?" Peter asking Ben.
"I don't know, you seemed different somehow." Ben noticed a change in Peter.
"Let's just say that I'm a new man today!" Peter felt like a new man.
Peter sat down as he eat his wheatcakes, he had an urge to eat after the recents change he went through last night.
"Do you want some juice?" May walks until she then tripped a bit.
She tripped but didn't fell but the bottle of orange juice slipped off her hands but Peter reacted by catching it before it hits the floor, Ben and May are surprised that Peter caught it in time.
"Wow! Nice reflexes." Ben is surprised by his reflexes.
Peter is surprised by his quick reaction time, it felt like he could sense the movement and move quickly that it seemed impossible for a normal human being. The doorbell rang as Peter stands up.
"I'll get it!" Peter walks out the dining room.
Peter walked over to the door and sees Mary Jane outside the door, Mary Jane noticed something different about Peter besides his lack of glasses, she can feel it.
"Hey MJ, what brings you by?" Peter says to Mary Jane.
"I'm heading down to Rockaway beach to have some fun. I was thinking that you could come with me if you want." Mary Jane asking Peter out..
"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not really into beaches." Peter didn't want to go.
"Peter, Mary Jane is inviting you out to have fun. You already had fun with Gwen last night, this time take Mary Jane out!" Ben encourages Peter to go out on another date with another pretty girl.
"He's right, don't turn her down." May encouraged Peter to go out with Mary Jane.
Peter smiled and sighed. "Okay, let's go."
"Thanks Tiger." Mary Jane smiles as Peter went with her.
Peter left with Mary Jane as Ben and May are happy. Ben and May are happy that Peter is lucky to have two beautiful girls in his life.
"Peter sure is a lucky guy, hanging out with two cute girls." Ben likes Peter has girls in his life.
"He sure is." May smiled as she seemed too happy that Peter is going with Mary Jane.
Sometime later, Peter and Mary Jane arrived at Rockaway Beach as the rest of his classmates are enjoying summer vacation. He spotted Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, Kong McFarlane, Randy Robertson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant. Flash is a tall blonde hair teen, the others are Kong who is bulkier with bald head. Randy is African American of the same height as Flash and Kong.
"Here we are, Rockaway Beach. I see some familiar faces here. The big blonde guy is Eugene Thompson, many people call him Flash as he like to show himself off every time. He's plays football for Midtown High along with Randy and Kong. He sure enjoys showing himself off, not caring who he has to step on, including me, every time. He's basically your average bully." Peter narrates about Flash and his friends.
Peter sees Liz Allan in a bikini, she's of Latina heritage and very attractive, dark brown hair with brown eyes, she got tan skin.
"The girl next to him is Liz Allan, his girlfriend and one of the most popular girls in Midtown as well as the head cheerleader. Like Mary Jane and Gwen, everyone is attracted to her beauty. She can be as arrogant as Flash is sometimes but she has another side to herself, the kinder side." Peter narrates about Liz Allan.
Peter turnsto Betty Brant and Glory Grant. Betty has brown hair shaped in a bob cut, and brown eyes. Glory Grant is African American, she's got short Afro black hair with brown eyes.
"The two ladies here are Betty Brant and Glory Grant, best friends. Betty has a talent in journalism, she works for the school paper along with Glory Grant, those two are inseparable." Peter narrates about Betty Brant and Glory Grant.
"It's this fun, the sand and the waves." Mary Jane loves the beach.
Mary Jane began to undress out in the open, Peter noticed MJ undressing in his presence.
"Mary Jane! What are you doing?" Peter is shocked by Mary Jane undressing in public.
"Relax!" Mary Jane undressed, only to have a swimsuit underneath her clothes.
Mary Jane is wearing a black bikini, Peter found her attractive in it.
"You're already dressed in your bikini." Peter got surprised by her bikini.
"I plan ahead, go ahead and show some skin, Tiger." Mary Jane tells Peter to take off his shirt.
"No thanks." Peter is still shy and didn't like the idea.
"Come on Tiger, don't be shy. I won't be bothered by your appearance, I promise." Mary Jane says to Peter.
Peter sighed. "Fine."
Peter pulled up his shirt off his body as Mary Jane is surprised by his new figure, he's got abs, he's all lean and muscular.
"Whoa! You got abs now! Have you been working out a lot?" Mary Jane got surprised by his new appearance.
"Yeah." Peter lied to Mary Jane.
Mary Jane kept staring at his figure as Peter noticed, she's looking up and down on him.
"Hey!" Peter snapped his fingers.
Mary Jane snapped out of her gazing Peter's figure.
"Eyes up here!" Peter tells Mary Jane.
"Sorry." Mary Jane blushed by his appearance.
Peter and Mary Jane walked in the beach as Flash and the other spotted.
"Watson, Parker." Flash says to Peter and Mary Jane.
"Eugene." Peter said Flash's real name.
"It's Flash, wise ass." Flash didn't like what Peter called him.
"You'll always be Eugene, 'Flash'." Mary Jane mocks Flash.
"I like you, Mary Jane. Too bad me and you haven't dated." Flash tries to flirt with Mary Jane.
"Sorry Flash, I don't date bullies." Mary Jane stated to Flash.
"Right, I forgot, girl with daddy issues." Flash touched a nerve with Mary Jane.
Mary Jane has her fists ready as she felt offended by his words, it touched her nerves inside.
"Care to say that again... Eugene." Mary Jane looking mad at Flash for saying those words.
Flash said nothing as he knows that Mary Jane is no stranger to violence. She can take care of herself against guys. She took self defense classes since she was twelve.
"You're lucky that I don't hit girls." Flash isn't gonna fight with her.
Flash and the other guys walked away to play volleyball. Peter got worried for Mary Jane as he could see that the subject about her father is very painful. Her father was abusive to his family, verbally at first until he slapped her mother in front of her. They never seen him again. After her mother died, she was placed under the care of Anna Watson.
"Are you okay, MJ?" Peter is worried.
"Yeah... I'll be fine." Mary Jane says to Peter.
"You know that fine stands for feeling insecure, neurotic and emotional." Peter kinda teased Mary Jane a bit.
"Are you making fun of me?" Mary Jane smiled back as she's cheered up.
"Just wanted to make feel better." Peter smiles at her.
"Thanks, I needed it. Shall we have fun?" Mary Jane wants to have have with Peter.
Peter and Mary Jane walked and joined Betty Brant and Glory Grant, they're both surprised by Peter's new appearance, all lean and muscular wearing nothing but jeans.
Glory whistled. "Dang! Didn't recognize you Parker."
"We like what we see." Betty smiled by his appearance.
"Thanks... you girls want to play volleyball?" Peter wondering if they want to play with them.
"Sure. How about it Glory?" Betty accepted the challenge.
"I'm game." Glory stands up with Betty.
Peter and Mary Jane team up to play volleyball against Betty and Glory. They started playing as Peter is moving fast to hit the ball. Betty and Glory are have a hard time scoring against Peter and Mary Jane.
They continue to play as Mary Jane and Peter are getting the upper hand as they scored the most points.
"Looks like we win." Mary Jane smiled as she's having fun.
Mary Jane and Peter high five one another.
"That was a great game." Betty is having fun.
"Don't get too excited, we'll get you both next time." Glory says to Peter and Mary Jane.
Peter walked away as he sure enjoyed having fun, though he's more surprised that despite that he did a lot of running while playing, he hardly broken a sweat, he still has a lot of stamina in him. Peter continues to walk until he sees Liz at the back of the pickup as she's trying to unload the cooler off the truck, it's proven too heavy even for her. Liz sees Flash still playing volleyball with the guys, she needs some help lifting the cooler.
"Flash! Help me out!" Liz called out to Flash for his help.
"Sorry Liz! Got my hands full!" Flash continues to play.
"Jerk." Liz whispered as she tries lifting the cooler.
Peter could see that Liz is still having trouble as Flash is still playing with the guys not do anything to help her. Peter walked up to the pickup wanting to help out.
"Need help?" Peter asking Liz.
Liz looked down and sees Peter volunteering to help.
"Yeah... this cooler is heavy, theirs like water bottles, sodas, and ice inside." Liz says to Peter.
"Allow me." Peter volunteered to help.
Peter got up onto the pickup and picked up the heavy cooler, Liz is surprised that Peter could lift it without difficulty. Peter too is surprised by his new strength, he could pick it up with ease. He carried it off the pickup and walked back to the beach with Liz.
"Where do you want it?" Peter asking Liz.
"Right here is fine." Liz says to Peter.
Peter lowered the cooler as Liz looked at Peter's new figure. She always thought of him as nerd but she's surprised by how good looking he is now, his eyes are pretty without his glasses.
"Liz?" Peter snapped Liz back to reality.
"Huh?" Liz snapped out of her gaze.
"Are you okay?" Peter is wondering.
"Yeah... thanks for your help. Not a lot of guys are this nice like you are." Liz smiled as she blushed a bit.
Kong is playing with the guys until he spotted Peter and Liz chatting alone as he felt he needed to tell Flash.
"Hey Flash! Isn't that Parker chatting up with your girl?" Kong pointed out to Flash.
Flash looked and sees Peter and Liz together talking, he couldn't help but feel jealous that someone is talking to his girl, especially Peter.
"He's got a lot of balls, that Parker." Flash looking jealous of Peter with Liz.
He picked up the ball as he's prepared to throw it hard at Peter with jealously in his heart, Randy and Kong are worried that Flash is about to do something stupid.
"Hey, take it easy Flash." Randy tries to calm Flash down.
"This is me taking it easy!" Flash replied to Randy.
Flash tossed the ball hard at Peter. Peter is still talking to Liz until he got a tingling feeling in his head, he reacted fast enough as he caught the ball with his hand. Everyone is surprised that Peter caught it with one hand without even looking, even Peter himself, this happened again like before.
"Whoa!" Liz is amazed by his catch.
"Hey, Parker! Can you throw the ball back?" Flash telling Peter.
Flash is waiting for Peter to toss the ball back. He decided to toss it back hard as it went flying and hits him in the head, Flash fell back. Everyone saw Flash got hit in the face by the ball, Peter was surprised by how much force was used in that toss, but Flash looked hurt by that toss.
"Oh my god! Flash, are you okay?!" Peter is worried for Flash.
Flash got himself back up on his feet as he got himself a black eye from the impact. He got angry at Peter for tossing that ball at his face.
"You're gonna pay for that, Parker!" Flash looking very angry.
Flash is walking up to Peter in anger, itching to pick a fight with Peter for that toss as well as talking to his girlfriend. Liz steps in to try to stop Flash from hurting Peter over that accident.
"Flash, leave him alone! It was an accident!" Liz tries to defend Peter.
"Stay out of this Liz! You don't have any say in this!" Flash raised his voice at Liz.
"Hey! Don't talk to her like that!" Peter didn't like Flash's tone with Liz.
"Well, well, Puny Parker is showing some backbone. That's rich." Flash smiled while being a jerk.
Flash shoved Peter back a bit. Peter got a bit angry but managed to keep himself in control.
"Don't do that." Peter warning Flash to back off.
"Or what?" Flash is still threatening Peter.
Peter isn't gonna fight Flash in a public place though that's not gonna stop Flash from trying. Flash threw the first punch fast until Peter reacted and caught his fist. Everyone is shocked that Peter stopped Flash's fist, he began to squeeze a bit, making the bones in Flash's hand crack a little, Flash feels the pain as he yelled. Peter could see that he's hurting him, he lets got of the fist. Flash pulled back as he felt the pain in his knuckles. Peter could see that he's much stronger than before, if he squeezed some more, he could've broken Flash's hand.
"I'm sorry Flash." Peter apologizes to Flash.
Peter walked away as Flash went to the cooler to put some ice on his hand. Mary Jane could see Peter leaving the beach, she follows after. She's worried for Peter since he's been acting different very recently.
"Peter!" Mary Jane ran to him. "What happened back there?"
"I don't know." Peter is still confused.
"Peter, you caught his fist so quickly, it looked like you were crushing it." Mary Jane questioned him.
"I know." Peter continues to walk.
"How did you do that?" Mary Jane kept walking with Peter.
"I don't know!" Peter says loudly to Mary Jane.
Peter couldn't believe that he raise his voice at Mary Jane, he felt bad to talking to MJ like that.
"I'm sorry MJ... I just need to be alone... I'm sorry." Peter ran away from Mary Jane.
Mary Jane stayed behind and watched as Peter is running away out of the beach. She's worried for him, he's been different today, she can't figure out what. He kept running down the beach at high speed on foot. Peter managed to run out of the beach and into a street until a car came coming in, he jumped higher than he ever thought possible, he looked down at the car that passed over him, he landed on a three point stance behind the car.
"Whoa." Peter is shocked.
He ran out of the street as he found an alley to hide. He found out today that he's faster and stronger than ever before, he couldn't figure out how this happened. He then looked at a spider web hanging nearby. He remembered that yesterday he got bitten by one of those super spider from the expo, that spider bite somehow gave him power beyond imagining.
"That spider bite, it must've given me powers." Peter said to himself.
He decided to test out his clinging as he touched the wall, it cling. He climbs up some more as he continues to climb higher than before. He looked down at the alley and smiled.
"This is so cool." Peter smiled as he likes what become of himself.
Peter returned home after the day at Rockaway Beach as Ben and May found Peter without a shirt on.
"Hi." Peter says to May and Ben.
"Peter, what happened to your shirt?" May noticed that he's shirtless
"Oh! I must've left it at the beach. My bad." Peter forgot about his shirt
"Have you been working out a lot?" Ben is wondering about his new appearance.
"Yeah." Peter lied to Ben.
Peter then went upstairs to his room. He closed the door as he couldn't exactly tell them what happened to him. He couldn't explain that an experimental super spider gave him powers beyond his dreams. Now that he has them, what is he gonna do with them.
(Outside the Parker Residence)
Unknown to him, the same redhead female from yesterday is watching the Parker house from across the street.
"You have powers now Peter, you're destiny has begun." Mysterious woman said to herself.
