Hey, I hope your enjoying this story. And, heres chapter 2!

Chapter Two: Powerless

Peter awoke the next morning at 7:00. Uncle Ben usually woke him up at 7:30 but Aunt May decided to wake him up early so he wouldn't be late. Peter woke up quickly and practically got to school half an hour early. He was the only student at the school for fifteen minutes, and during that time he just roamed the school. As more students began to pour in, Peter went to Math class and he was ten minutes earlier than anyone else.

A week ago, Mr. Black had told the class that the entire grade ten classes would be getting the whole day off, but that students were to meet in there first period class before boarding the buses. Harry eventually arrived, and the two friends talked until the entire class arrived.

"Oh, by the way, thanks again for letting me copy off you in yesterdays test" Harry said.

"Hey, what are friends for?" Peter replied.

A few minutes later Mr. Brown took the attendance then spoke:

"Alright, listen up you Hoodlums! Personally, I don't get why you lazy kids should be getting a day off school to go visit some stupid lab! But apparently the principal thinks that 'School should be fun'. So I expect you all to be on your best behavior, and any fooling around will result in suspension!" Mr. Brown yelled.

'Touchy, Touchy…' Peter thought.

Mr. Brown then made the whole class line up, single file and they walked down to the first floor and then to the School Bus Loading Zone. Peter always walked to school, but over half the school lived in the far side of New York and they took the Bus to school. Peter and Harry sat together on the Bus.

But Osborn Industries was surprising far away and they were on the Bus for an hour and a half. Peter seemed to be the only one excited to see Osborn Industries, the rest of the students were just happy to get off school, and they couldn't care less about a stupid lab.

Out of all the students, Harry was the only one who didn't want to go.

"What's wrong Harry?" Peter asked.

"Well… it's just ever since my mom got cancer and passed away, I've been all alone at my house. Dad works non-stop he gets up a 6am then leaves before I even wake up, then he gets home at 10pm and when he gets home, he works some more! He's had countless sleepless nights and I'm really starting to worry about him!" Harry said in a depressed tone.

"I'm sorry to hear that" Peter said. Although it didn't sound very sincere, Peter really did care deeply.

Harry and Peter didn't say a word for the rest of the ride there.

Once they arrived at Osborn Industries the grade ten classes were put into three groups Peter was put in a group with MJ but Harry was put in a different group. The tour took them everywhere! The place was huge! But after about an hour and a half they were taken to the labs.

"Here is where we are experimenting with Norman Osborn's latest invention" the lady who was giving the tour said.

'Norman Osborn? Isn't that Harry's dad?' Peter asked himself.

"Mr. Osborn isn't just the CEO but he's also the head scientist here at Osborn Industries" the lady said

"Uh, what does this invention do?" Peter asked.

"Well, it is called: The X Drug it is top secret, but I can tell it will revolutionize the human body!" The tour Lady answered.

"Booooring…" Mary Jane said quietly.

"As you can see," the lady said pointing to the lab behind her, "We are testing the X Drug on these animals, to make sure it is safe."

"What?" MJ shouted anger in her voice. MJ was one of those people who cared deeply about animals and she had been in many protests about 'animal rights'.

"So let me get this straight" MJ said walking up to the tour lady, "You are testing a dangerous chemical drug on poor defenseless animals!"

MJ was practically shouting by then. The rest of the group just watched and didn't say a word.

"Well, err, um…you see, uhhhhh…" The lady stammered, "We have not been testing on dogs or cats or stuff like that, we've mainly just been testing on bugs, like ants, bees, and mainly spiders."

MJ finally calmed down and walked back to stand beside Peter. The lady seemed to be relived to not have MJ standing beside her anymore.

"Ahem, now where was I…" the lady started.

As the lady blabbed on about how the X Drug would make life better, a large spider hung over young Peter Parker. The Spider had two big red eyes and a large black body; it was faintly glowing green and had large pincers for teeth. The Spider began to climb down toward Peter menacingly. It was bigger than a tarantula, yet no one noticed it getting closer and closer to Peter Parkers hand. Even Peter didn't noticed until it was on his hand, and by then it was far too late…

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Peter screamed as the spider bit him on the hand.

Once he screamed everyone then saw the freakishly large spider on Peter and they all stepped back.

The Lady took out a walkie-talkie "We have a code green in sector 12, repeat, a code green in sector 12!"

Peter continued to scream, in to much shock and pain to move.

"Oh, my God, Peter!" MJ screamed. MJ swatted the Spider of Peter's hand, and once it was on the ground, it scurried away, the tour lady chasing after it.

"The Spider is on the move, repeat…"

Her voice then vanished and Peter found himself unable to keep his balance and he started to shake he also had an intense burning pain in his stomach and he started to get dizzier every second. Peter groaned loudly.

"You okay, Pete?" MJ asked.

But Peter fainted and fell backwards. MJ tried to catch him, but she didn't make it instead some kid who was standing behind Peter caught him. "Peter stay with me… stay with me… stay wi-"

--6 hours later in the New York hospital --

Peter was lying in the hospital bed, still unconscious. Mary Jane, Harry, Uncle Ben and Aunt may all stood around him.

"So… he just collapsed right there!" Harry asked MJ who nodded.

"My poor, baby" Aunt May said sadly.

The Doctor walked in the room with a confused look on his face.

"What is it, Doc?" Uncle Ben asked.

"Well… he's made a full recovery…" The doctor said, "It's not like anything we've ever seen, in fact his health looks better than before."

"Thank Goodness" Aunt may said letting out a sigh of relief.

"When will he wake up?" MJ asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that, he should wake up sometime in the next few hours."

"Well, I think we should come back tomorrow and let him get some sleep" Uncle Ben said.

"Good idea" MJ said. Everyone walked out of the room and Aunt May asked MJ and Harry if they needed rides, but they both declined the offer saying that they could walk.

Once they walked out of the hospital May and Ben walked toward the Parking Garage were Uncle Ben's Ford was parked, leaving the two teenagers standing in front of the main door. "So… uh," Harry stammered rubbing the back of his head.

"Do you want me to… uh, you' know…" He continued to stammer.

"Walk me home?" MJ guessed that's what he was asking.

Harry nodded. MJ smiled, "Okay". So they walked home and they started to grow closer, laughing at each others, after being Peter's friends for seven years they themselves were finally starting to become friends. Harry wouldn't admit it but he was starting to get a little attracted to MJ.

--Osborn Industries--

Norman Osborn stood in the lab examining the Spider that bit Peter Parker. His lab assistant Doctor Otto Octavious walked into the room. "Mister Osborn, I just received word that the young boy who was bitten by the spider injected with the X drug, he's in the hospital sir"

"What! He's not dying or suffering is he?" Norman asked.

"No sir, in fact they said he was perfectly fine and they were going to let him leave tomorrow night" Otto said.

"Really, perhaps the X drug has more capabilities then we thought" Norman said.

"Can you find out how his body is reacting?" Norman asked.

"No sir, its restricted information"

Norman frowned, "Then well just half to find out for ourselves then… wont we…"
