I do not own Spider-Man or any of Marvel Characters. I wish I did though!

Chapter Two – Powers

Peter's POV: I walked into the door of my aunt and uncle's house and set my back pack on the ground, set my jacket on the chair, and then started walking to the stairs.

"Hey, how are you doing buddy, how was the field trip?" Uncle Ben asked.

'How am I doing? Well I just got bitten by a spider that I don't even know if it's poisonous, so no I'm doing that good.' I thought sarcastically. "Uh, I don't feel well, I going to go to sleep." I pointed to the stairs and continued to them.

"Oh, you won't have a bite?" Aunt May asked.

'How ironic,' "No thanks had a bite."

Uncle Ben stepped up the stairs and asked, "Well did, did, did you get some pictures Peter?"

'Please stop asking questions, I need to sleep!' "Uh, gotta crash, everything's fine!" I called back down the stairs, I walked to my door and entered and shut the door.

I took off my glasses and set them on my desk and I started to get hot, and I felt a bit dizzy. I thought I was getting heat stroke or something. But that couldn't be it; I was hardly in the sun at all. I decided to take off my shirt to try and cool down. I dropped my shirt and started to feel dizzy. I swayed a little; I fell onto my bed then fell off of it. I started to feel cold all of a sudden so I grabbed my blanket and fell asleep.

Kiendra's POV: I set my backpack next to my desk and I fell back onto my bed, I held my head in my hands as I started to sway. I started to get hot then cold, this happened over and over again. I swung my feet on to my bed and laid my head onto the pillows. What was happening to me? I started to fade in and out of consciousness, something was happening to my body, and I had no idea what it was.

I closed my eyes and fell into unconsciousness, my body started to tremble and shake violently. Then everything calmed and I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

When I opened my eyes daylight was streaming through my windows but it seemed different. I sat up and swung my legs off my bed. I blinked several times and then glanced at my clock. It was 7:48 AM! I was going to be late for school! How did I sleep this long! I stood up quickly and walked over to my closet past my mirror. I backtracked and looked into it. Somehow my face was more pleasing to look at. My abs felt unusually tight so I lifted my shirt slightly and gasped. I had a faint indent of a women's six-pack!

I dropped my shirt and walked bewildered to my closet and opened it. I grabbed a shirt and kaprees. I slipped off yesterday's clothes and put on the clothes I picked out. I grabbed my still stuffed backpack and was about to run out of the room when I glanced out my window at Peter Parker's home. His window was also right next to mine. My eyes widened at what I saw, when was Puny Parker buff!

Peter's POV: I opened my eyes and turned over on my stomach. I got up on my hands and knees and reached for my glasses on my desk. I then stood up and tried to put them on. All of a sudden everything was blurry, I lowered my glasses and everything was clear again. I did this a couple of times before realizing dumbly that I could see just fine without my glasses. I set the glasses on my desk again, "weird," I was about to walk away but stopped.

'Wow' I thought. I turned back to the mirror and flexed my right arm. I touched my chest a little and thought, 'what happened?'

I flexed a little more until I heard a knock on my door, "Peter, are you alright?"

I looked down and answered, "I'm fine!"

"Are you better this morning? Any change?"

Still flexing I looked down again and said, "Change? Yeap, big change!"

"Well hurry up! You're going to be late!"

It just dawned on me of what time it was, I look a worry crossed my face, "right."

I turned around to grab my shirt and I looked out my window over into Kiendra's window.

Kiendra's POV: I shook my head in disbelief and turned back from the window, I checked in the mirror again and fixed my hair and headed out the door. I glanced back quickly to see Peter watching me from his house.

I walked over to the bus stop and waited for the bus. I noticed Peter walk up to me. I turned my head and looked over at him with my hair dangling to one side. "Well hi."

He smiled and said hi back.

I grinned, 'hm, should I? Or should I not?' I thought mischievously. I nudged him in the abs and he didn't even flinch, they were rock hard! I quickly got over the shock and asked, "So what are we doing again today in chemistry mister science wiz?"

Peter blushed deeply and replied, "I, I uh, I really don't know."

I grinned and said teasingly, "for once!"

Peter smiled back; a car of the part of the football team boys passed and started jeering and making fun of Peter. I frowned as they passed waving to me also. I ignored them for the most part but I grabbed Peter's hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Peter gasped a cute little gasp for a second but quickly caught himself. I smiled inwardly but then suddenly became aware of my heart beating quicker. I looked down at my hand in his and was shocked to feel how nervous I truly was around him.

I let go of his hand as the bus slowed down near us, the bus stopped and opened its doors. I walked in a bit dazed from holding hands with Peter. How could Peter strike such feelings into me? Before the bus came I suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kiss him! I shook my head slightly to clear my mind. I sat down in an empty seat and Peter started walking closer, suddenly someone stuck his or her foot out! In the back of my head something started buzzing. My head snapped in his directions and had the sudden urge to catch him but he hadn't even been tripped yet.

Instead of getting tripped Peter gracefully jumped over the foot and landed stunned. He walked up to me and asked, "Er… could I sit here?"

My friend was sick so she wouldn't be here today, I nodded and he sat down next to me. I turned my head and opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I closed it again feeling dumb. I opened it again and said, "I hate the way they treat you." Without thinking again I grabbed his hand and squeezed it again! How these holding hands things can become so addicting! I quickly let go realizing my mistake.

Peter shifted uncomfortably, 'this is so awkward! We've never been so awkward with each over in my life!' I thought. I plastered a smile on my face that showed no nervousness what so ever.

At lunch that day I started to walk past Peter with my lunch tray in hand to go sit with my usual friends. I wavered in my steps as I past his table. I really needed to talk with him. I turned sharply and set my tray next to him. The whole table behind me stopped talking abruptly. Whispering began, I grinned and sat down. The table burst out in noise and people talking.

Peter widened his eyes as he acknowledged my presence.

I grinned at him, "is it really that much of a surprise Peter?"

He smiled warmly back and nodded.

"Well that concludes everything!" Seeing the confused expression pass on his face I continued, "I've been thinking lately, we really, and I mean really, need to get together or just get to know each other!"

Peter just widened his eyes and just stared at me.

"Well say something," I pressed.

"Er… ok?" I said in kind of a form of a question.

"So… when should we get together?"

"Um…"

But I cut him off, "how about Saturday, er… tomorrow at noon?"

"Sounds good."

I leaned in, "only good?"

He leaned out, "would great be better?"

"Much." I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up into the eyes of Flash Thompson. "Hello Flash."

"Hello Kiendra, I was just wondering, why are you hanging out with 'the nerd'?" he asked emphasizing the word nerd.

Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Peter glance up once at Flash, then at me, and then he went back to his food. I narrowed my eyes at Flash and answered sternly between gritted teeth, "well if you haven't noticed yet, Peter is my next door neighbor. I don't know him all that well so I was just getting to know my next door neighbor for once." I turned back to my food but just stared at it willing for Flash to hit the road.

The buzzing in the back of my head acted up again and I looked up to see Flash's hand flying towards my face. Suddenly the hand was caught and thrown back. I stared in astonishment as Peter stood up and faced Flash. This time the whole lunchroom went quiet. There was a scurrying of feet and people were standing in a circle around Peter and Flash.

"I don't want to fight you Flash" Peter tried.

"I wouldn't want to fight me neither" Flash snapped back.

"Flash leave him alone!" I ordered him.

"Not today, you won't interfere this time!"

"I will if I have to Flash," I warned.

Flash ignored me and aimed a punch at Peter; Peter surprisingly ducked out of the way. Flash tried to punch Peter two more punches but Peter dodged them both. Flash growled and aimed a punch full with his arm at Peter's head. Peter bent backwards towards me with a surprised expression and Flash went whizzing by.

At the moment I felt someone press up against me, I turned and saw Harry, "help him Harry!"

Flashes friend dived for Peter from behind, Peter's eyes lit up knowingly and flipped backwards in the air about five times! Peter landed and looked back up into the air then looked back at Flash and his friend and cocked his fists.

"Which one?" Harry asked clearly amused.

"He's all yours man," Flash's friend stated. Flash sneered and pushed him aside. Flash started aiming all sorts of punches in odd directions, but Peter dodged them all and then started blocking them. At one point Peter grabbed Flash's attacking arm and twisted it. Flash groaned in pain and Peter sent a punch to his stomach making Flash fly backwards into a teacher. The teacher dropped all of his lunch on Flash's head.

Peter grinned finally acknowledging that he had just beaten up the school bully.

Flash's friend looked up from the floor and said with disgust, "my gosh Parker, you really are a freak."

Peter dropped his fist dread climbing over his face.

"Peter, that was… amazing," Harry said grinning from ear to ear.

I stared at Peter my mouth opening and closing not knowing what to say. Peter suddenly rushed out of the cafeteria and seemingly out of the school.

I shook my head in disbelief. I picked up Peter's and my lunch trays, and dumped the contents into the trash then stacked the trays. I walked out of the cafeteria.

After school I got on all my soccer equipment and headed out onto the field.

"Kiendra, midfield" my coach told me as I walked up.

I nodded and walked to the midfielder's position. I overheard some of the girl's conversation in the forward's section:

"Did you see what happened today?"

"Yeah I did, man that Parker kid is hot stuff!"

The girl sighed dreamily, "oh yeah."

I glared and shot at them, "oh so now that he's beaten up someone you think he's all that, huh? Before beating up Flash you just thought he was a nobody!"

The girls turned around at me and glared and then turned back to talked amongst one another.

After practicing for a while my coach yelled across the field, "Kiendra! Goalie, quick!" I sprinted across the field and took the goalie gloves from the previous goalie and put them on. I crouched down into a ready position. A teammate kicked the ball and me and I dived and snatched it out of the air. I was getting ready to drop kick it but the ball stuck to my hand! With my other hand I pulled it off and shook my head. 'Must be the goalie gloves' I thought.

After playing Goalie for a while my hands were started to sweat from the heat of the gloves so I took them off. I caught a kicked ball and tried to drop kick it back again. It stuck to my hand again! I pulled the ball off and saw a white gooey substance come out of my wrist. My eyes widened and I wiggled my hand and the gooey substance came off.

I drop kicked the ball and called over to my coach while walking off the field, "I think I'll call in tonight, I don't feel so well!"

My coach nodded and shooed me away. I walked off the field and got back into my regular clothes.

I walked home and went up into my bedroom and sat on my bed. I looked to my windowsill and saw a spider crawling up a wall; I furrowed my brow and looked down at my wrist. I saw on the flat part of my wrist what looked like a white webbed shaped tattoo.

I looked at my wall and put a hand to it, it stuck! I placed my other hand upon it and started crawling up the wall of my bedroom! I was over my bed when my mother yelled from downstairs scaring me and making me fall of the ceiling with a thud onto my bed, "have you taken out your trash yet!"

"No!"

"Well do it then!"

I sighed and picked up my trash bin and I carried it downstairs and outside.

Peter's POV: I walked back home after being knocked out for about an hour after ramming into a wall. I ran inside and dropped my backpack to the floor. I walked into the kitchen and mentally smacked myself in the head. 'I was supposed to help Uncle Ben paint today!' I sighed and picked up the note on the counter, it read: "Michelangelo! Meat Loaf and Veggies in oven."

I looked over at the trash bin and saw that it was overflowing with trash. I picked it up and tied the top into a knot. I carried it with me outside.

I walked over to the garbage can and dumped the bag I had into it. I heard the click of a door and I looked up to see Kiendra walk outside with a trash bin of her own. I grinned and said, "Hey, I guess we had the same idea." She looked up at me and I pointed to the garbage can. She smiled her sweet smile and nodded then yawned and dumped the contents of her trash bin into her garbage can. Then she walked over to me.

"You seem tired," I remarked.

She nodded and yawned again, "Yeah, I just got back from soccer practice." She lifted her knee length skirt to her knee to show me the grass stains then she giggled.

I smiled, "I can see that." I scratched my head nervously then said, "sorry about what happened today, with Flash."

"You really freaked us out."

"I'm sorry, his he okay?"

She nodded and said, "oh he's fine, you don't need to worry about that, he's just a great big jerk."

I chuckled and nodded, "whatever you say."

She leaned on the fence right next to me and asked very much close to my face making me uncomfortable but exhilarated, "what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing," I said a little too quickly.

"Oh really?" She whispered getting even closer to my face.

I gulped inwardly but didn't respond. The space between us was thinning until a car engine broke us apart, "Peter? Are you back there?" A sweet old voice came from up front.

"Yes Aunt May, I back here talking to Kiendra."

"Oh good, have you had something to eat?" She asked coming around back.

I shook my head and replied, "No, I'm not hungry right now."

"Tsk, tsk," she said disapprovingly, "you really should be getting more to eat."

"I do Aunt May."

Aunt May smiled and entered the house through the back door.

I turned back to Kiendra and said, "well, I, I should get going." I backed away and walked into my house.

Kiendra's POV: I sighed and walked away from the fence after Peter left, 'why was I getting all of these sudden urges to kiss him?' I walked back up to my room and collapsed on my bed sighing. I lifted my hand into the air and measured about a centimeter with my index and thumb and said to myself, 'we were this close! This close!' I dropped my arm and stood up and dressed into my PJs, then again collapsed onto my bed clearly exhausted and fell immediately asleep.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with school. Please review and tell me what you think!
