Chapter 6- A electric development
Manhattan General Hospital 8:00 AM Tuesday
The TV flickered from station to station, Max growled in annoyance no matter what channel he switched it to; nothing but static. A few more clicks he threw the remote in a fit of rage, Lillian tried to calm him down.
"Max please relax, I know you are upset but no need to break things."
"Lillian looks at me I'm a blue freak of nature!" He said whipping around in fury, "I can't even watch a stupid game!"
"Well, …at least you can still yell at the TV, so what's changed?" She responded with a slight nervous chuckle
"Is that supposed to be funny!?" She flinched, Max's eyes soften a bit, "I'm sorry Lilly it's just I had plans before all this happen; Get into a good college, meet someone and settle down."
"Max I get it really I do but you have to be patient and try to make the best of it." Lilly brushed a rogue hair out of her way
"Adjust to what? This!?" With hands, outstretched Max summoned an electrical surge to his hands in his rage. Lillian shielded her eyes from the immense lights that her brother was emanating from himself as well from lights that exploded near the bed head.
"Max stop! You got to stop the ma…UGH!" She was thrown back from the force of lighting that hit her in the chest. When Max stopped his rampage he gasped at the sight that beheld him, he rushed towards her.
"Lilly, Lillian!" He shook her when he kneeled next to holding her close, "What have I done!" Gently he placed her on his bed looking at the smoked burnt shirt in the middle of her chest, "I got to get out of here!" Then he bolted out of the door pushing anyone out of the way to leave this hospital.
He rushed past Connors, "Max wait! Where are you going?!" He became a distant speck, he rushed towards the room he sees that Lillian is hurt with electricity running over her body, "MEDIC!"
Midtown High School Science Class 9:40 AM
'You know in my old life I was a chick magnet but it wasn't the cute or even smart beautiful ones that I attracted it was the crazy ones that always had my attention. This crazy girl is staring at me and I can feel it, yeah you know Felicia Hardy AKA The Black Cat or soon to be the Cat…I don't know.' Peter steals a glance at his platinum blonde schoolmate who so happens to stare at him from the corner of her eye with a small smirk, 'Yup she looking at me.'
Right now the teacher was demonstrating the magnesium metal to display explaining what happens to metal when it reacts with oxygen gas, which is found in the air around.
"Magnesium metal and its alloys are explosive hazards; they are highly flammable in their pure form when molten or in powder or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water. When working with powdered magnesium, safety glasses with welding eye protection are employed, because the bright white light produced by burning magnesium contains the ultraviolet light that can permanently damage eyes. Now before I demonstrate where this metal located?" He scanned the room, "Anyone?"
Peter lifted his hand, the teacher sighed as he pointed towards the one student who raised his hand, "Yes Mr. Parker can you tell me as if you didn't already know…"
"Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is the second most abundant compound in the earth's crust. It can be found in also cameras, horseshoes, baseball catchers' masks, and snowshoes as well other items that are made from magnesium alloys. Magnesium is frequently alloyed with aluminum, which makes aluminum easier to roll, extrude and weld." Peter replied
"Very good Peter very well informed as usual."
The class groaned
"What a nerd…"
"Teacher's pet…"
"Know it all show off."
Thanks to his enhanced hearing Peter addressed class, "No I guess it's my fault that I don't want to be a cashier at a fast food restaurant or become a druggie who smokes at such a young age, I mean how many people do we know in this school who are not smoking weed at this point in time in the bathroom or skipping class as I speak?"
The room went silent as he turned to face each, every single one of them looks at the green shirt teen, "I mean really, I know I'm socially awkward I won't deny it but I know how to choose my friends instead of going with the crowd. I don't need your approval from any of you, you think life is going to be all unicorns and sunshine well I got some news for Y'all…it ain't like how you picture it honeys buns. There's are millions in fact millions of children in poverty wishing they could get an education here in the United States of America or somewhere and we the spoiled brats that we are; can't appreciate the fact that we lived in a blessed country with all the benefits the people before us sacrificed for us to have a better future."
He scanned the room people were in shock that the nerd called them out, Gwen was impressed by his little speech but she wasn't the only one, a few students nodded their head agreeing with what he said, others were wondering what brought this on. This new attitude from Parker was definitely something new and radical it was disturbing.
Liz twirled her hair, staring at the young boy. She learned her lesson the moment Peter crushed her phone, she still hasn't said anything to her parents about the incident. For her, it was a rude awakening that Peter was setting his foot down and this is a side of him that she wants to know, it got her curious to see what else Peter was hiding.
Felicia licked her lips, not only was this guy daring people to challenge him nobody dared refute him either. There was a sense of confidence not just confidence a bold confidence, it excited her, he spoke again.
"I have to put up with you guys throwing paper balls, jeering at me for what reason? Because you're too lazy to even do anything or even lift up a book to read about this stuff because you treat this school as a disease? Grow up you, snowflakes! Your mama or daddy neither government isn't going to be there to hold your hands for the rest of your lives or when life get tough!"
"You're still a nerd Parker with no friends; how's that treating you?" A few chuckles went around
"Yeah? At least I'm going to be a nerd with multi-million dollar industries in helping people 10 years down the road Flash!" He pulled a phone out, "Here let's call McDonald's I think they are looking for a new fry boy to grease up their burgers or looking for a new cashier. What are you going to be doing with your life? Winning the lottery? Fat chance bub."
"Please Parker I am the star football team quarter you how many colleges would be knocking down on my door?"
"Quite a few I can imagine Eugene if you can be sports savvy then why is it that I'm Salutatorian for Midtown High School while Gwen is Valedictorian and you're not for freshman year? Laziness maybe with a side order of too good for you?"
A bunch of low 'Ooo' Flash eyes narrowed, he was about to open his mouth when the Professor chimed, "Okay, okay enough! Though I have to agree with Mr. Parker life is not easy you have to work hard in order to achieve what your dreams are, there are a lot of people out in the world who would want what you have so let this be a life lesson to all of you. Now before the bell rings here are all your Biology exam from last Friday, I'm all sure that you are excited to get them back."
The teacher handed back each graded test much to the displeasure of the classroom when he came across Liz he said, ", Ms. Allen a B+, you see what happens when you let others help I'm sure Peter was an excellent tutor."
She had a small blush on her face, "Yeah he was."
He skipped over Felicia since she was the newest student there in the school, he handed back the test to Peter and Gwen, "Excellent work Mr. Parker and Ms. Stacey another A+ for the both of you."
He turned to Gwen, "Beat that…"
"Excuse me but ummm…." She held up her paper A++, "Nice try Peter."
He mocked frowned, "Don't worry I'll get you back beside I know where you're the most vulnerable…" He said with a dark chuckle
"Parker don't you dare…." She hissed
He wiggled his eyebrows up and down suggesting he was going to do it.
Meanwhile Flash had a crazy idea flowing in his head, looking at his paper he had a C-, the words Peter used irk him seeing that his football is laying down doing nothing he had a mischievous grin on his face. Since Parker had his back towards there was no way he would see this coming.
Both Spider bitten teens senses tingled, Peter sighed as he leaned to his left allowing the football to soar overhead hitting the teacher instead of the intended target.
"OOF!" The papers flew out of his hands, "Mr. Thompson!"
Flash hid behind a newspaper he brought in earlier, Peter got a glimpse of it 'REWARD, FOR PHOTOS OF SPIDER-MAN $5000 FOR A PICTURE!'
'Looks like I'm going to be visiting J. Jonah Jameson pretty soon, but it will not only be me that he'll have but of Gwen, Mary Jane, and Cindy as well a few others.' He smirked, 'If I wanted to work for the Bugle.'
The bell rang, "Remember to read about nuclear fission in your textbooks you'll have a quiz later in the week and Mr. Thompson a word with you."
Peter packed his things while taking a present with a bow tie outfits stared at Liz who was packing her stuff as students left the room he failed to notice Flash giving him a death stare.
Felicia stared mouth slightly parted, she couldn't believe that he dodged that football. There was no way, he was talking to that other blonde Stacey. So how did he know when it was coming?
'What are you hiding?'
"Oh, great here come noble dork now." A blonde girl with matching cheerleader uniform said
"Sally be nice…"
The blonde girl looked at her stunned, opening her mouth to protest when Peter beat her to it, "Here Liz I owed you a new phone from breaking your old one."
She took the gift unveiling a brand new iPhone 6 plus, she looked at Peter who smiled sheepishly at her. What she did next leaves Sally with her mouth hanging open, Peter is stunned for the moment when Liz kisses his cheek, "Thank you that's really sweet of you Petey…"
"Petey?" Sally says in shock whisper
"I thought you were seeing Flash?"
"I was but I ended things with him you were right when MJ was trying to apologize on his behalf during the trip; I was dating him behind her back ever since they hooked up."
Peter demeanor soften, he placed a hand on her shoulder causing her a little blush, "Don't tell that to me, tell it to the one you did it to."
She sighed, "I really don't want to…"
"Liz you reap what you sow…you have to face the music sooner or later…will it break MJ's heart yes…but get it over with now that way you can start healing." He said patting her shoulder, "The trust isn't going to be the same but at least seek forgiveness because if you don't forgive those seeds of resentment are only going to grow." He looked at the time, "I'll talk to you later if you are willing, and see you around Sally."
The brown haired girl hugged her textbook close to her chest, she eyed the boy when left the classroom engaging in conversation with Gwen. Sally's mouth was still agape looking at the retreating brown hair boy and her best friend, "OMG…you like Peter…Parker!" The blush, as well as silence, only confirmed her suspicion, "Liz are you out of your mind!"
"No, just waking up."
Gwen separated from Peter as he walks off to P.E. class unaware that a certain platinum blonde followed him closely. She could hear him muttering to himself, "…It's funny how here Peter is more of chick magnet then he realizes, still it's always the crazy ones that like him, on the other hand, Black Cat wasn't a bad choice, damn Marvel always screwing up my hero just because they didn't want him to grow up and that stupid excuse that she only liked the mask, not the man…maybe I could go out with Ava? Eh, I'll figure it out sooner or later…I hope…"
Now she was scratching the back of her head, 'What the hell is he talking about? Why is he even referring to himself in the third person?' Quietly she snuck up on him, "Ah…boo…"
Peter jumped whirling around fist ready to strike.
"Who, whoa! Someone gets easily riled up, I come in peace." She said holding her hands in surrender
"Please don't do that Felicia, I hate it when people do that."
"Do you now?"
"Don't get any ideas." Peter warned walking towards the gym location 'If I remember Felicia Hardy is flirt not to mention she likes to play her little mind games with guys, still I can't help but wonder if this is before the incident or after the incident of rape. I'm on a wildcard guess here so I say before Empire.'
"Aw, big boy gonna cry…" She mocked pouting, "That this little kitty having her nails to sharp to handle? Do you want your momma? Can't handle me, Petey? Come on I'll show you what a real woman like me has to offer you or do you like to talk to yourself in the third person for expert advice because I'm sure there is a looney bin somewhere."
'Oh, so that's how she wants it to go down, eh?' Peter looked around not too many teens in the hallway he turned with her. He spots a perfect place to pin her.
"Cat got your…whoa!" He pressed her against the wall hands above her head, she was completely caught off guard by the action.
"The truth is Ms. Hardy…" His voice was husky sending a shiver down her spine when he whispered in her ear, "I don't think you can handle this much man, and whether I refer to myself in the third person is really none of your business."
Felicia licked her seductive lips, he caressed her cheek as he went for her neck, she let out a hiss of pleasure but unlike Cindy, he didn't take too far to make a hickey just a quick peck, "I like to think out loud on multiple occasions…" He trailed his finger to her jawline down to her neck stopping at the collarbone. "Let's not play this game and don't try to get into my head even though it could be fun…"
"Haven't you heard? Curiosity gets the better of me so nothing is going to stop me from that, not even you." She said her hands were still above her head she looked at him seductively; given her position, she tried to grind against him but he kept her in check making sure she didn't do any sudden movements. By bringing her into a side hug her right arm was pinned to the side while his left pinned her down by his hand. "You've piqued my interest when something or someone catches my attention I will get it. Intrigue me, what kind of man are you?"
"Well, if you want to know...try to get me but you're not going to succeed so with this…"He claimed her lips then released her, "…Is game over…" He walked away with the biggest blush on his face, 'I can't believe I kissed my favorite Marvel girl! Man is her lips were so soft! Why couldn't I have a girlfriend in my old life!?'
Felicia licked her lips, "Mr. Parker you don't realize what you've done; the game has yet to finish, we've only just begun."
Gym Class
'Never thought I would be wearing a uniform for gym class yet every school is different I suppose. This stuff chafes and when was the last time he cleaned this thing?' Peter shuddered the gym clothes smelled awful every student body was wearing the same color blue and yellow pants either short or sweatpants.
There was a lot of chatter so the whistle blew as the student body grew silent; "Listen up people! Today we will be doing a physical test that means sit-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, pull ups, chin over the bar and finally climbing the rope and net at each different station and when you are done you can sit in the bleachers with friends."
Though there were a few groans, others didn't care.
"Alright break up into teams of two mix and match between Freshmen, Sophomore, Juniors, and Seniors, however, you want to break up into teams." The coach said, "Let's go times are wasting!"
Everyone scattered to be with their friends, Peter waited patiently to find the right partner to test out his new physical features after the spider bite. Sadly, no one even went near Peter so he shrugged scanning for the stragglers who weren't picked, he spotted one went over to an overweight teen.
"Hey…" The teen turned to be met with a handshake, "Peter…."
"Umm…I'm Ned." He shook his hand
"Got a partner?"
"No."
"Want to be mine?"
"Sure."
The two found a spot near bleachers at least 30 feet away from where Liz and few other girls were sitting around chatting amongst themselves. Peter volunteered to go first to do sit-ups as he reached his 7th sit-up Ned decided to break the ice.
"Hey, Peter…"
"Er…yeah…8" He sat up then back down
"You heard the rumors lately?"
"…About…9"
"The Spider-Man?"
"10…No…what about him?"
"Well The Daily Bugle and Daily Globe have a price for the picture of the guy and he was spotted one day swinging on top of the school a few days ago."
"Okay and?"
"Looking good Parker." The coach said as he walked around the students
"What do you mean and? Come on Peter do you think it's cool to have powers like that? What else does he do for a living? Climbing walls, swinging on the threads, getting the girls, some say he might be E.T…"
'No he just your average boy in front of you who so happened to be misplaced in the space-time continuum.' Peter stopped for a slight moment sitting up, "Yeah I doubt that."
"How would you know?"
Peter's word was stuck in his mouth, but a slightly different conversation was overheard, "Now for me, it would f**** Jason Moma, and marry Tony Stark."
"Well, what about the Spider-Man?" Another girl asked
"Have seen that footage of him rescuing those people trapped in the subway car? He managed to tear off the hinges of the door with his bare hands!" Liz said
"OMG, she's crushing on Spider-Man!" Another teased
Peter brow rose, 'Looks I have an admirer…let's make Flash one too.'
"Hey, Peter why you stopped?"
"No interesting conversation those girls are having."
"Yeah."
Parker Resident Basement 10:00 AM
There was only one word to describe her situation that Erika found herself in; extreme boredom! She sighed looking out the small window at the end of the basement in the top corner where there was a small step ladder. She observed that not much movement was happening outside, she saw a family car across the street, trees were swaying gently in the breeze it seemed peaceful, finally, a few people outside doing a jog or taking the newspaper inside. She hated when her boyfriend had to go school that meant he was with one of his other girlfriends the redhead or the blonde one or even the raven-haired girl.
"Tch, how am I going to get him to notice me?" She wonders dropping to the ground leaning on the wall, "Peter has already resisted my advances 15 times for the last two days I know I'm getting through, but he won't dare cross that line if he were any guy he jumped me four times over."
A realization hit her, "His eyes, there was conflict in them but mostly pain, negativity, hesitant as if he were never with a girl yet lust, desire an instinct that told him to do it but he wouldn't." The more she thought about it the more she realized, "If I am going to get to Peter I am going to have to take another approach, though with this amnesia; I don't even remember much about our past relationship, I guess I'm going to have to ask him how we came to be because just finding me in the middle of his backyard in my birthday suit doesn't mean I believe it still his eyes were filled with honesty…I guess I like him for being gentlemen even if he is a bit prude as well old fashion." She let out a small chuckle which turned into a frown, "Although, those girls are not going to make it any easier to get him, need to step up my game."
She looked around her surrounding exhaling deeply, "The name Peter sounds familiar where have I heard it before…ugh…"
As she tries to remember the name her world starts to spin, she quickly grabs the beam to support her. As a cold sweat forms she pants heavily remembering anything was too painful, it frustrated her to no end.
She wobbly walks to one of the rooms which had a bed, it was a good thing that Peter and his aunt cleaned the basement bedroom when they got back from shopping with her help of course. She met the older woman as well as her husband yesterday, Peter was questioned how he was going to explain Erika's sudden appearance and he told his friends he would make something up.
He asked his friend Harry when documentation was going to be in for her, the response by the end of the month. Fast forwarding to this morning she was freshening up in the bathroom of her caretaker then suddenly the door opens as she forgets to lock the door his aunt, it was an interesting morning.
Flashback Tuesday morning 5:00 AM
The door opens to reveals Aunt May in her robe, when she looks up she gasp to see a young beautiful woman brushing her teeth, it was mixed with some red highlights. The girl was in a robe well it was one of her bathrobes, the awkward silence was engaged the moment she turned to see the older woman. Blinking she spat out the toothpaste, rinsed her mouth to address the woman.
"Umm…Hi…" She says
"Hello…BEN!"
A moment later Uncle Ben came racing in with a baseball bat, "May what's wrong whoa! Who are you?! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE BURGLAR!"
Erika ducked when Ben swung the bat, she managed to sting the older man's hand out of reflex she made a dash pushing May in the corner of the entrance of the bathroom. She skidded in front of Peter room, she pounded on the door.
"PETER LET ME IN!" She started jingling the doorknob, she looked at Ben despite the pain he felt he rushed towards her ready to knock her out. She started to use her shoulders to break the door in but before she could she fell through on top of the said teen applying to much pressure on his right arms.
"Ooww…Erika…its 5 am in the morning I got the school in three hours…what is that you want." He said groggily
"Your uncle is trying to kill me with a bat that's what's up."
His bloodshot eyes looked into her sky blue eyes, "Come again?"
"Get away from my nephew!"
Spider-sense flared awakening Peter a bit more as he grabbed her waist rolled her to the side before firing a glob of webs on the bat gluing it to the ground. Another door opened revealing Cindy rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Whaaaaaatsssss going on? Is it always this noisy in the morning, what's with all the ruckus?"
"Stay back Cindy there's a burglar in the house!" May said getting in front of the girl
Peeking over the older woman shoulder Cindy sighed with a yawn she replied, "AHHH NO Urgla….excuse me…That's no burglar that's just Erika Peter supposed girlfriend."
"WHAT!" Both his relatives looked at him, "Peter Benjamin Parker, explain yourself, young man!"
Peter groaned, 'Thanks a bunch Cindy…I bet this is payback for that kiss she gave me back at the mall, something tells me she the jealous type, oh brother.' As he got up Electra pouted, she didn't want to move yet the glare from Peter told now was not the time to be flirting, "She's not my girlfriend."
Extending his hand when dusted himself off, the amnesiac assassin got up stood behind Peter for defense just in case his uncle decided to swing the bat; that man nearly took her head off though she was hurt by his comment.
"I'm too tired to deal with this troublesome situation now, can't we discuss this when I bit more awake?"
"Fine but you better have a good explanation to why you never told us about your lady friend son." Ben said trying to get his favorite bat off the ground, "Do you mind?"
"Sure…" The teen ripped the webbing off allowing Ben to place it underneath his armpit.
"I'm going to get my clothes, I'll be back in Peter."
A brow rose May scolded her, "Oh no you don't little missy you are staying with Cindy in the guest for another two hours." There was no way that her nephew was going to be with a woman three or four years his senior, she didn't know who she was nor trust her.
"Very well Mrs. Parker." She threw a death glare towards Cindy, the Asian girl rolled her eyes.
Peter on the other hand when the halls cleared web-line the Moon girl throwing her unto himself then closed the door with a click. He pinned her against the door frame with one hand next to her head, his body a few inches in a lean giving enough space for her to move to her right his left.
"Do I want to know?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
He sighed, "Cindy why would you do that?"
She didn't look him in the eye, she found the floor to be much more interesting than admitting that she had this jealousy creeping up in her being and she couldn't explain. In all honesty, she wanted Peter to herself, not anyone else, after all, he did promise that he wait for her thus she had hope that he keeps his promise.
"I thought you wanted me to be your girlfriend…" The mouth was opening to answer that question that is until she quickly added, "Not that I'm desperate for a boyfriend after mmmm…"
He kissed her to shut up when they broke apart she wanted more even so he had other plans. Placing his forehead on hers she saw tiredness in his eyes not just the physical one either as she senses a mental tiredness "Cindy let's be frank remember what you told me at the junkyard?"
She did, "I don't want another boyfriend, at least not now."
"Exactly, then I said somewhere in the conversation 'I can understand if you don't want a relationship right now after what you been through but if somewhere down the line we become an item I'd like you to know that I'll be as loyal as they come.' As well I'll wait for you even though it was indirectly said."
Cindy bit her lip.
"Are you jealous?"
She blushed red
"Cindy…"
"Yes…"
He placed a hand on her head, "I'm going to clarify this right now, you're not jealous it's the totem of our powers that makes drawn to each other still another way to put it in more simplistic the pheromones as well don't help either."
"Pheromones?"
"Preciously right lass…"
"Should have known that affected me." She sighed
"Now, let's clear the air do you want me to be your boyfriend on the rebound?"
"No…"
"Okay, we are still in friend zone then…" He kissed her again on the lips, she let out a small moan, "But remember I still have eyes for you." She blushed, "Even so that doesn't mean I'm not fair game to the other girls which includes, Mary Jane, Gwen, Erika and other girls I meet down the road even though my charm does have a way with the ladies."
"Pfft…the only charm I see is you trying to seduce me."
"Is it working then?"
"You wish." She playfully pushed back
"Oh darn guess I'll have to try harder or search for another fair maiden who will not resist my unique physical appearance."
"Hmph…they're all lining up yes I can see it now." Cindy crossed her arms
"My, my you are you the jealous type."
"I am not!" She turned hiding her blush
"Then why you blushing?"
Erika's ear is leaning against the door, she heard every word that the came out of those mouths. She gritted her teeth apparently her boyfriend was trying to cheat on her with that Asian girl well she'll show her a thing or two not to touch her man.
Just when she about to open the door, the question was asked, "Peter if other girls start liking you will you be willing to share?"
She froze, the door was open a crack silently it was just enough to peek through. She saw Peter with a hard gaze upon the Moon girl, she didn't like that look it was not him.
"Cindy…"
"Yes…"
She was nervous the look was hard, impassive too serious for her taste. It wasn't the carefree spirit or gently look he had this was a completely different version of him.
"Never ask me that question again. If hearts have to be broken so be it." The tone was hard, unflinching most of all authoritative, "Why would you ask me that?"
End Flashback
After getting another two hours of sleep, Erika can't believe he denied that he wasn't her boyfriend in front of his relatives. He said to them that she was his friend from Skype and that she had plans to come over the U.S. all the from Greece and he completely forgot about it which led to Monday morning grounding in other words no superhero business what so ever.
After school he, Cindy and May helped along the basement to clean it up while Ben went to the courthouse to discuss the future of Cindy custody.
"Why would he deny it?" She mused, "Is he embarrassed by me? I don't know what it is but one thing for certain I will not lose him to anyone."
For now, she was going back to sleep wait until he came home to discuss this situation.
Funtopia arcade after school
"KO!" The machine echoed various time the scream of the fallen character
"And that my friend is how you do a proper finish in Street Fighter arcade mode!"
"DAARAGHH!" Harry bumped his head against the game, "How the heck are you so good in these things?"
"Bro trust me I'm just a casual player if I was one of these people who take fighting games seriously I would have creamed you with a full set of health."
"Want to go again?"
"Nah let's try something different."
"Still I can't believe you kissed Felicia Hardy, what were you thinking!" Harry bashes him in the back of the head
"To be honest she a very attractive girl despite her flirty side." Rubbing his head
"And you flirted with Cindy, that girl Erika and I might add you lucky dog, that rabbit girl…er…what was her name again Lori…Lorina… and Gwen! Dude make up your mind already! You've got to be pinning someone!"
"Here's the thing Harry I already know who I want out of the names you just mentioned."
"Then why not go after that one."
"Because I made a promise to be her friend, if she wants to be my girlfriend down the road so be it; if not there are other girls in the sea and don't take this as if I'm saying 'she another face.'" He pointed his finger at him, "Each girl is special in her own right…I want to see if I can find that special someone in one of them but not all of them."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, I don't want to have too many admirers I just want some of them to be my girlfriend, not my girlfriend."
"Say what now, you want them to be your girlfriend but not your girlfriend…"
"Okay let me put it this way…" They walked towards the register ordering some fountain drinks, Peter pays for both drinks "Boys don't call their male friends their boyfriend but girls can call their female friends their girlfriends, I want to have a girlfriend at some point in time but I want many girlfriends."
"Gotcha."
The girls were somewhere else having chat about a certain someone within the group of girls was Liz, MJ, Gwen and Sally.
"So you starting to like Peter too Liz?" Gwen said
"Well I don't know, I'm just starting to wake up it's not like Petey is going to take abuse forever and he made me realize that there is more to him than meets the eye."
"Hmm…what changed?" MJ asked dryly
"I guess when he broke my phone, I saw something in Peter that stunned me." Liz confessed, "It got me thinking what else he has in stores that I…er we never noticed."
"You could say he stunned all us with this new attitude adjustment when he confronted MJ on the bus about Flash." Gwen agreed
"Y-yeah…Flash…umm…MJ…"
"Yeah?" The red head stared at the brunette
Liz rubbed the back of her neck, she inhaled then opened her mouth to be cut off by Sally "So all of you are going gaga over a nerd with a recent attitude change, so big deal! It's probably just a ruse to get attention; I mean he told off Liz's brother Mark kind of."
"Oh, I disagree…" The four head turned to see Felicia walking towards them, "There is something about him that's a real turn on, I managed to have a little taste of what he has to offer and that was no show off he meant everything he said."
"What do you want?" MJ asked venomously, "I warned you to stay away from him!"
Gwen nudged her friend shaking her head not to start anything
"Can't help if we sit next to each other can we?" She said, rubbing her nails on her jacket, "But to answer your question I want nothing…at least not from you redhead, you don't like me. Still, I wonder what do you know about him blondie, I just happened to stumble upon something that I like."
"Like I'm going to tell you Ms. Showoff."
Peter sensed tension via 7th sense. 'Wonder what got the girls riled up.'
"Hey, Peter check out that guy."
Peter noticed a man with a hoodie came inside but was significate is that he glowed a blue color, the young hero knew him immediately, "Electro."
"Who…"
"Harry let's leave."
"Dude we just been here 10 minutes what's the rush?"
"Harry don't argue with me."
Just then all the lights started zap or blow out Peter heard, "I CAN'T EVEN DRINK COFFEE!"
"This looks like a job for Spider-Man…"
Peter raced towards the restroom, Harry behind him they both raced past the girls. Gwen saw that Peter was lifting his shirt trouble was brewing somewhere.
"Peter what's going on!"
"TTYL!"
"What did he mean by that?"
The girls shrugged going back to the conversation, "Anyway if any of you skanks think that you going to get in my way for Petey well think again." She placed her hands on the table leaning in very closely, "Let me tell you a little something, he was ravishing my mouth today in school and I have the hickey on my neck to prove it."
"WHAT!" They screamed
"Not just once, but three times." She held up a fist counting three fingers, "One place was in the hallway almost to the gym, second one was in a corner of the schoolyard during study hall and third was right in front of the school entrance."
"You seduced him!" MJ was held in place by Gwen, however, she was having much difficulty in restraining her redhead friend, "I warned you not to get close you bimbo I'm going to teach a lesson you won't forget!"
"Are you afraid to lose him Red?" MJ was red in anger, "Tell you what after school we'll see who get who."
"You're on!"
Suddenly, a bolt of electricity made it's way towards the platinum blonde girl. Spider-sense for both Gwen and MJ tingled as the blonde haired girl screeched, "LOOK OUT!"
Before she was struck by lightning a body tackled her to the ground, allow the streak to burn a mark on the wall they were facing in the opposite direction.
"Well, how do you like your cat nip crispy or burnt?"
Felicia stared wide eye at the man in the red mask who was on top of her with hands on the two side of her head, "You okay miss…"
Dumbly she nodded
"Great!" He helped her up
"You're the Spider-Man!" Liz cried out, "Marry Me!"
"And you're a cheerleader but no I will not thanks for the offer though. Excuse me, ladies, I got to catch a Pikachu before it evolves into a Raichu." He zipped line racing over to the entrance.
"Hey Sparky where's the fire at!"
Max ran for his life shoving people out of the way, "Move, move!"
'Think I might grab a few pics for the Bugle or maybe the Globe, I think the globe would be better. I don't I can change JJ mind aboutlamppostsbut hey you never know Lord willing.' He swung quickly landing on a lamppost before spinning a small web to make sure the camera was in place.
He scanned for his target apparently he tripped over a crate deliver, two webs caught him lifting him between two lamppost.
"Hey, Sparkles say Spidey!"
Max gritted his teeth as the camera flashed capturing his image along with posing guy in his long johns.
"Thank very much, you've been helpful and might I add sir that blue skin brings out the white in your eyes do you wear contacts?" He reached over pulling the hood down to reveal a blue bald man looking quite angry, "I can't get a picture so…wow talk about major sun bleach do you spend that much time in the sun or is it premature sunburn cause I don't normally sun tan anymore?"
With yell Max unleashes a furry of electrical burst, Peter dodges but one of the currents knocks him to a nearby building. 'Ouch…That smarts…I know Peter fights are dangerous but I never thought it would be this dangerous! I got to get one thing straight here being a hero doesn't mean just to beat up the bad guy it also means making sure civilians don't get into the crossfire.
"You shouldn't have done that,and now you are going to pay!"
