Chapter Three: With Great Power…

Peter Parker sat in the hospital bed wearing a green T-shirt and jeans. He it was 6:00, the Doctors said he could leave at 7:30. Peter thought he was ready to leave now, but they wanted him to stay incase anything might happen. 'It's not like anything's gonna happen now!' Peter thought. Peter woke up a 5am, he was confused, it took him a few minutes to remember that he had passed out at Osborn Industries. Aunt May and Uncle Ben had visited him at 9am and they stayed until 5pm, they left saying they had errands to run.

Peter had been bored out of his skull for the last hour.

Suddenly the door creaked open. Peter looked to see his two best friends: Harry and Mary Jane. As soon as the door opened MJ rushed over to Peter and gave him a bear hug. "I'm so glad to see your okay!" she said as she squeezed him to death.

"C'mon MJ, Peter needs air" Harry laughed.

MJ stopped hugging Peter and gave Harry a friendly punch in the arm.

'When'd they become friends?' Peter asked himself.

"Hey Peter I got two things for you," Harry started, "I got you a burger" Harry tossed peter a burger, who ate it like he hadn't eaten in weeks.

"And, you're homework!" Harry gave Peter a pile of notebooks. Peter looked through them all, then he tossed one at Harry, "Do your own homework!"

MJ walked closer to Peter, "Pete, have you been working out?" she asked.

"No. Why?" Peter asked.

"It looks like you have been" MJ said.

Harry squeezed Peter's arm, "Whoa! Your muscles are huge!"

Peter pulled his arm away from Harry's grip then he flexed his arm, and he was amazed how big his muscles were. 'Cool…' Peter thought. Peter then finished his burger until Aunt May finally came to pick him up.

"Alright Peter are you ready to go? Hello Harry, MJ" Aunt May asked.

Peter practically jumped out of bed and ran for the door. Aunt May offered Harry and MJ a ride and they said yes. As once they walked out the main door Aunt May told them to wait there while she went and got the car. While they stood there waiting MJ took a few steppes forward, and she slipped on some water that was on the ground. She started to fall backward but Peter suddenly caught her. "Whew thanks Pete" MJ said.

Peter didn't know how he managed to catch her, he seemed to see her falling before she even fell, and when she did fall he reacted quickly, when he wasn't even thinking. Peter guessed it was luck.

--Three days later--

Aunt May told Peter to stay inside the house all weekend, to make sure nothing happened. Peter was bored the whole weekend, so he was almost happy to go to school Monday.

On his way to lunch, the school bully, Flash Thompson, pushed Peter up against a locker. "Heh, know what time it is Puny Parker?"

"Eleven Thirty"

"No. Pounding time!"

Flash tried to punch Peter, but while his fist was flying at Peter, time around Peter seemed to slow. While time was slowing down Peter was moving faster. Peter easily side-stepped away from the punch, then time sped up again. Flashes fist put a huge dent in the locker behind Peter.

"Gah!" he wailed. Flash pulled his fist away from the locker and it was bleeding.

"Peter!" MJ said running up to him, Harry close behind.

When Harry saw Flashes bleeding arm, his eyes widened, "Peter did you do that?"

"Wha- No! He punched through a locker" Peter said.

"PARKER!" Flash yelled. Flash tried to punch him again, and Peter again dodged it. Flash took a few more swings at Peter, and every punch missed him. "Hold still, dam nit!" by this time, a small crowd had gathered. Flash took a few steppes away from Peter, then he charged at him like a bull. Time slowed again, and Peter leap over Flash and his hands actually stuck to the ceiling.

"What the-"

Flash missed Peter and he crashed into a locker. Flash fell to the ground and he lay there for a few minutes at first Peter thought he was unconscious, but he started to curse as he was lying there.

People started to stare at Peter, and he suddenly felt dizzy and the familiar burning was in his stomach. 'What's happening to me?' Peter thought as he finally let go of the ceiling. Peter kneeled over slightly and grabbed his stomach.

'I need some air!' Peter thought.

"Pete? Are you okay?" MJ asked.

Before Peter answered he ran for the door, ignoring the question. Once he was outside, he dumbly wandered into the middle of the road.

A car was about to hit Peter, but suddenly without thinking he instinctively leap out of the way. And when he jumped, he jumped almost twenty feet! Peter landed in a alley. "How did I do that? I saw it coming before it came! Just like when Flash tried to hit me!"

Peter walked over the a wall of an apartment building that was a few feet away from him. 'I wonder…' he thought. Peter put his hand against the wall, and it stuck! The same happened with peters other hand! He began to climb the side of the wall till he was on the roof of the five story building. "Cool I can climb walls easily!" Peter then started jumping from rooftop to rooftop, after a while he got tried and leaded against the wall to catch his breath. When Peter moved away from the wall, webs were coming out of a strange pore on his wrist.

"Huh?"

Peter looked at the web, and then tried to free his hands from it, almost as if was responding to his thoughts, the web fell out from the pore. Peter then tried to fire more webs but he didn't know how. Eventually he found that taping two of his fingers against his palm worked. Peter fired webs all over the rooftop. Peter suddenly realized that the distance between the rooftop he was on and the next rooftop was too far, but between the two rooftops there was a crane.

"Hm…"

Peter fired some webs at the crane and they stuck the he stood on the edge of the rooftop. "Here goes nothing" Peter swung on the webs, screaming the whole time. Peter landed safely on the next rooftop.

'I have super-powers! I HAVE SUPER POWERS! Me, who would a thought puny parker, would get super powers! And I know what I want to do with them, go into professional wrestling!

Peter ran home as quickly as he could, completely forgetting school wasn't over for another hour. As soon as he got home he rushed upstairs before anyone saw him, then he pulled out a pad of paper and began to draw a design, he worked on it until ten o clock, then he finally got the design he wanted. It was a blue and red costume with black web all over it and big white eyes.

"What should I call myself… the amazing arachnid! Or the spectacular human arachnid! No to geeky."

Every day when Peter got home he worked on the costume non-stop, till finally after five days it was done! The day after the costume was done, Peter told Aunt May and Uncle Ben he was going to take the subway to the library.

"That's okay I'll drive you!" Uncle Ben said.

"It's okay I can take the subway" Peter said, but before he finished his sentence Uncle Ben was already up and had the car keys in his hand.

Peter agreed. Uncle Ben dropped him off at the entrance to the library. "I'll be here to pick you up in four hours." He said, and then drove off.

As soon as he was gone Peter walked to the fighting arena, his costume in his pocket. Once he got there he signed up to battle Crusher, the meanest wrestler in New York. The lady at the box office gave Peter a weird look then told him to go on in. Peter slipped on his costume then walked into the arena there were hundreds of people watching, most of them booing him. Peter ignored them the walked into the ring, were Crusher was waiting. "Who are you supposed to be?"

"I… am, Spider-man!" Peter said proudly.

Crusher laughed a little. When the fight started, Crusher charged at Peter then tried to punch him several times. Time slowed around Peter like the other times and he saw them coming, he decided to call it his Spider-sense. After dodging all his punches, Peter delivered a rapid series of blows to Crushers face, and then while he was in a daze, he kicked him in the chest, and Crusher was out like a light. The crowd went crazy canting "Spider-man! Spider-man!"

Peter then walked out of the arena and took of his costume, as he waited for the elevator he saw an elderly security guard chasing a crook with a bag of money. The elevator opened, and peter let the crook have the elevator, letting him escape without doing anything.

"Why didn't you stop him!" The guard said after catching his breath.

"I am Spider-man! No one tells me what to do!" Peter said then he walked away.

--In front of the library--

Peter walked to library, thinking about his victory, but when he got to the entrance he saw the paramedics surrounding someone who was lying on the ground. Peter took a closer look and at who was laying there, and it was his Uncle Ben!

"NO!" Peter said rushing over to him pushing a paramedic out of the way.

"Uncle Ben!" He cried.

"P-peter…" Uncle Ben said weakly.

"What happened?" Peter asked a paramedic.

"He was shot, witness say it was a car-jacker"

"Uncle Ben… please, you can't die!" Peter said tears streaming down his cheeks.

"P-peter…" Uncle Ben said again, "I… love… yo-"before he could finish Ben died.

Tears were pouring down Peters face; suddenly he heard a police siren. Peters sorrow immediately became a desire… for REVENGE.
