A/N: it occurred to me that even with all my attempts at writing a Spider-man story I've never once written his origin and early days so I thought I'd kick back a few pints and well here's this….. also as you can see it's not connected to webhead or any other Spidey story I've previously written, I'm still working on webhead too by the way.

Does whatever a spider can

It was the last month of Peter parkers senior year of high school. Peter was a short and skinny young man standing at a 5 foot 3 inches tall and 100 pounds. He had messy mop brown hair and large spectacles covering his 20/80 vision brown eyes.

That day he was outside midtown high waiting for popular (but very superficial) cheerleader Liz Allen, Liz had dark sandy blonde hair and a massive spray tan but was considered the best looking girl at his school, she was also dating flash thompson star quarterback and all around dick.

"H…. Hey… Liz uh um I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to E.S.U.s science demonstration today….? It's this amazing new process of using generic engineering and radiation to restructure damaged tissues and…." But even if Liz wasn't truly bored and annoyed the young and scrawny man wouldn't get to finish what he was saying as flash chose that moment to show up yanking Peter in the air off his feet. "Hey parker stop hitting on my girl! No one here wants to go to your stupid science show, besides Liz and I have a game tonight. You better get my good side for the paper dork!" He taunted before dropping him hard on the sidewalk and walking away with the shallow cheerleader by his side.

There were several scientists and empire state university students at the demonstration including doctor curtis connors and otto octavius but it looked like the near sighted parker boy was the only high schooler there…. That is except for a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes that seemed to be around his age but he'd never seen her before. 'huh? Maybe she goes to standard high…?' he thought absent mindedly but still a bit curious, alas before he could consider going over to talk to her the demonstration started.

Doctor connors was explaining how the conductive beam the device was generating was capable of rearranging DNA in conjunction with radioactivity and how one day it may give him his arm back. "Doctor connors had a very noticeable missing right arm for… some reason he didn't explain but a spider descended into the beam and bit Peter parker just as he decided to approach this mysterious and frankly beautiful blonde girl that appears to like science.

With the bite causing him to immediately feel violently ILL before passing out I guess he just wasn't meant to meet this girl. He awoke to find himself in the college campus infirmary a few hours later with his dear aunt and uncle by his side. Ben and may parker were in their mid 60s and could never have kids of their own but when bens younger brother Richard and his wife mary died when Peter was only 3 years old they took the boy in and raised him as their own. They're the only parents Peter has ever really known, now awake he suddenly feels amazing and the bite mark he knew he should have is completely gone not to mention his glasses were suddenly the thing making his vision blurry 'huh that's weird?' but when he tried to take them off not only was his eyesight perfect but he completely crushed the eyewear just by barely touching them.

Uncle ben told him to try and do something fun tonight to relax and take his mind off things, unfortunately he meant going to midtown's football game against standards team. Uncle ben was always a BIG sports fan and despite the love he had for his nephew the two always had trouble connecting. When he was sitting in the bleachers he wasn't paying attention for he was working on equations for a lightweight adhesive cable that his father started just before he died.

The nerdy brunette and his lack of interest in the football game soon attracted attention from 2 rows above and 3 over where that same blonde girl from E.S.U. was sitting next to a very pale, scrawny but nicely dressed, auburn haired guy the same age but looked like he had a serious coinciding superiority complex and inferiority complex. The young lady had on this turquoise t-shirt underneath a pink and white jacket, plum colored jean shorts and a baseball cap on top of her platinum blonde hair. For some reason the science nerd at work is REALLY interesting to this girl as she turns and asks the young ginger man beside her if he knows who he is. "Don't look at me I barely know the people from our school, but if anyone does it's flash thompson. The guy's a total douche though so I wouldn't unless it's really worth it." Apparently the girl decided it wasn't because she returned her focus to the game, putting the strange boy content with jotting down some sort of notes while at a sports event rather than watching the game.

The next morning when Peter got to school flash immediately attacked him "parker you puny little geek! Where are all the great photos of midtown's football hero from last night?! Oh yeah you didn't take any! If you're not gonna take pictures of me being awesome or do my homework so I don't fail then you're completely useless nerd!" The jock taunted on and on as he slammed the brunette against the locker. Flash a 6 foot 3 inches tall, weighing in at 157 pounds of muscle, he was half hispanic with light brown hair with the ends dyed blonde, but what was a surprise was when he slammed pete into the lockers he didn't really feel anything but what was even more surprising was when he effortlessly pried flashes hand off from around his shirt collar. He was amazed, impressed, proud of himself, he was feeling pretty good until flashes screams brought to his attention the athletes hand was all twisted and crushed up in a truly horrific and painful maner. 'How did I do THAT!?' the young man, that is definitely going through some UNIQUE changes, thought to himself before being dragged away by the principal.

A/N well what do you think? Do I completely suck at trying to write a yet to be hero Peter parker? Does this version of uncle ben sound a little too much like a dick? Is my obvious need to include gwen stacy even though he doesn't know gwen stacy yet in this too obvious? How drunk do you think I am? Should I keep going with this too or just stick to webhead? I just felt like taking a stab at the earliest days of a spider powered Peter parker and I also wanted to emphasize that he and gwen continuously keep missing each other before one day their familiar story starts and ends.
