Here's another chapter for you all. Sorry for the delay, working on another story called 'Heroes and Soldiers' and I got school and all. Please forgive me for the delay, I'm not a frequent updater since my life is so busy. So anyway please enjoy. If the story and words are bad then forgive me as I'm new to writing stories.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Spectacular Spider-Man at all! I don't own Halo or DC as well!
The next day…
Peter Parker woke up from his slumber with a groan. His eyes fluttered open then promptly sat up in his bed. He rubs his eyes to clear his vision. Once he does he takes a look around his room. Fortunately, after last night he managed to hide his costume so his aunt doesn't find out about his secret. He isn't ready to tell his aunt just yet, for he suspects that his aunt may worry. He's had enough of that since his Uncle Ben was murdered. Soon, he gets out of the bed, though it caused him to flinch. He was still sore after crime fighting last night.
'I shouldn't have stayed out late' Peter thought sorely, as he dragged himself to the bathroom to begin the cycle. Peter pushed the door open and walked inside. From there he looks himself in the mirror and notices his baggy eyes. He rubs them once again, though, that didn't change anything and began to turn on the water and splash water on his face, causing him to wake up. Then he grabs his toothbrush and brushes his teeth to get the morning started. Peter then begins to strip off all his clothes and takes a quick but clean shower, removing any smells or dirt from his body.
Soon he walks out from the bathroom to get dressed for school. It amazes him how he can manage crime fighting and school in his superhero career. He comes downstairs wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. Peter refrains from wearing black as it reminds him of the symbiote. The thought caused him to shudder involuntarily, though for a moment. The smell of pancakes and eggs instantly hit him, causing his empty stomach to growl and hastily makes his way to the table where he finds his aunt finishing his breakfast to start the day. Once aunt May finishes preparing the meal, she grabs the plate in her hands and gently places it in front of Peter. Peter grinned as he looked at his meal for the day. Three pancakes, scrambled eggs, and two bacon strips. He licked his lips in anticipation for the yummy meal.
"Good morning Peter, how are you?" Aunt May greeted Peter politely. She hasn't seen him since last night, where she was out of the house. Unbeknownst to her, Peter had guests while she was out.
"Morning Aunt May, I'm doing great, I'll be doing better once I finish this meal!" Peter jokes, causing his aunt to smile. Peter couldn't take it anymore, so he greedily eats his meal. He began ravishing his meal like a hungry pig. He didn't eat dinner last night but he managed to acquire snacks while crime fighting. Aunt May notices her nephew eating like an animal and couldn't help but laugh in amusement.
"Anything new happened Peter?" Aunt May asks her nephew, starting a conversation. Once Peter gulped down his food he looked up to Aunt May. Her eyes held sincerity in them and he couldn't help but feel lucky.
"Well nothing new, just givin' JJ some of Spidey's pictures. I earned a couple of cash, so it will help with the bills. I still need to buy a new camera but I'm saving 10% of my earnings while 90% pay for the bills." Peter replied. Aunt May's face held appreciation for him, along with a guilty look. She's grateful for the help from Peter but she didn't want him to carry the extra weight on his shoulders. They both agreed to deal that consisted of 90% of Peter's earnings from the bugle will be paid for the bills while he saves the other 10% for a new camera. Ever since Ben died, Aunt May had to pay for the bills. Ben's life insurance managed to pay off for a while but now she needed to earn money. But with Peter's help they could manage more easily on the bills.
"You don't have to work at the bugle Peter," Aunt May told Peter, but before she can continue Peter beats her to it.
"You can't talk me out of it Aunt May," Peter replied to his aunt while looking into her eyes, "besides, I promised Uncle Ben that I'd take care of you." Peter said warmly. Aunt May breaks into a warm smile as well and approaches Peter and hugs him and he reciprocates the action.
"Oh Peter." Aunt May says tenderly, "I love you Peter."
"I love you too Aunt May." then they break off the hug.
"Now eat your breakfast young man." Aunt May commanded her nephew sternly, earning a nod and a 'Yes Ma'am!' from Peter. Aunt May watched as Peter ate his meal more slowly. Once he finishes he attempts to wash his own dishes, but the look Aunt May was giving him told him otherwise and begrudgingly handed his dishes to Aunt May to wash. He comes into the living room and grabs his book bag and checks if he has everything he needs for today. Once satisfied, he glances over to a nearby clock to check the time, which was '7:30' and goes back into the kitchen to find Aunt May washing his dishes. He approaches Aunt May and quickly kisses her on the cheek while saying goodbye. She nodded and went back to doing the dishes and Peter dashes out the door.
Peter takes a quick look around him to see if anyone saw him, and once he was sure no one could see him, he quickly puts on his Spider-Man costume and web-shooters. Once he's finished he into the air and swings towards the subway station. Finally he reaches there and hops onto the roof of the train that was almost done loading its passengers. The train then began to move forward, with Spidey on the roof, towards New York.
A few moments later…
Spidey proceeds to leap off the train and speed towards Midtown High. He discovers that he's early than before. 'Huh, that's a new record' he mused to himself. He changes direction to a nearby alley to change and with the many times he's done it, he's practically a pro. Then stumbled Peter Parker out of the alley dressed in his blue shirt and jeans. Then he continued to walk towards the entrance to Midtown High and found a few students there. Peter, with his book bag slunked over his shoulder, sits down at the edge of the water fountain in the middle of the courtyard. He noticed the few students that were in his class yesterday gave him odd looks then continued on with their day. Peter then sighs as the memory of what happened yesterday came back flooding.
'Stupid dream, god I hate you Eddie, and you too symbie.' Peter thought angrily. His ears perked up footsteps with clicks in each step and sighed. 'Either Felicia, Liz, Gwen, or MJ.'
Peter slowly brought his head up to confront the individual who was approaching him. Walking towards him with the sway of her hips was Felicia Hardy, perhaps the school's dream girl, with a smirk. Her presence did not go unnoticed as a few heads turned to her approaching Peter. The males had admiring looks along with lust and then females had envy and jealousy. Though, both genders shared a confused look as they saw her form approaching Peter Parker. Why would one of the hottest girls in school would approach the school's biggest nerd was beyond them.
Peter could guess why she would come towards him. 'Probably to kiss me' he guessed, 'I wouldn't mind though...her soft lips...I-! Wait! HOLD UP PARKER! Shoo dirty thoughts! Shoo! Shoo!' he chastised himself for having such thoughts. Once Felicia got close enough he decided to say hello.
"Hey Felicia, how's it-" though he was cut off as her hand grabbed his left hand with extreme force that he couldn't get free, without blowing his cover to the whole skill that is.
"Woah!" Peter exclaimed in surprise at the sudden action, which did not go unnoticed as the students faced towards Felicia dragging Peter off into the school like a mother dragging her son or daughter. The students noticed Felicia's smirk as she dragged off Peter into the school without incident, causing a few to tilt their heads in confusion. They proceeded to get back to their business doing whatever they were doing.
"That didn't look good," One jock commented, referring to Felicia dragging off Peter inside.
"Why she hanging out with that geek?" One cheerleader questioned aloud.
"That's weird." One random student said.
"You think there's something going on between em' Vince?" One student, Joshua, asked his friend next to him, who's wearing a shirt with the words 'Orbital Drop Shock Trooper' etched on the shirt with the UNSC logo underneath the words and black jeans. Joshua's friend, Vince, looked at Joshua, who was wearing a superman shirt and blue shorts, oddly.
"Do I give a shit Josh?" Vince asked Joshua angrily. Josh just rose both his hands up defensively.
"Geez, just asking you a question." Joshua told Vince, who huffed in annoyance. Joshua shrugged as the two friends continued on with their day.
With Peter and Felicia…
In the halls of Midtown High are students walking around, going to their destinations. Felicia, still dragging Peter, was searching for a closet in the vicinity. Peter hasn't said a word as he had his eyes widened and mouth agape. Once Felicia found a closet, she quickly pulled the handle down and opened the door, leading her into a dark room. Luckily, a light switch was nearby she managed to turn on the lights inside the dimly lit room. Felicia dragged Peter into the room and quickly closed the door. She released her hand from Peter's left hand and Peter happened to stand under the light bulb. The bulb didn't provide much light, so she had to make her way towards Peter. Once she got close enough she looked Peter up and down, however, this did not go unnoticed by Peter.
"What the hell Felicia?! Why did you drag me here?!" Peter demanded the attractive platinum-blonde. She tore her eyes from his body and looked at his angry expression, a problem she can easily remedy. She began to push herself up against him, causing him to turn red from the close proximity.
"Fel-Felicia?! Wh-what do you wa-want?" Peter managed to stutter out. The close proximity between them made him very nervous. It didn't help that her breasts were against his chest and that she was amazingly beautiful and attractive in every way. She pushes him back against the wall behind him. His heart rate increases with each passing second.
"You seem tense Peter." Felicia noticed as she can hear his heart rate accelerate, "I bet I can make you more 'comfortable'" Felicia finished with a mischievous smile on her face. Peter blushes furiously from the comment. As she looks up at him with eyes full of hunger, Peter notices how beautiful the Green eyes are. 'So beautiful' he thought to himself. Then he becomes aware of his thought and furiously shakes his head and attempts to find a way out of this situation.
"I-I gotta-get to cl-class. So, uh-see ya." Peter nervously says as he attempts to push Felicia away but she has quite the grip. Felicia clicks here tongue while shaking her head at his failure of escaping.
"No, no, no Pete. Would you want to upset a lady?" Felicia asks with a pout that Peter couldn't resist. Peter struggles once more but he knows resistance is futile in this situation. He hangs his head in defeat for a moment and looks up at Felicia's face, which had a seductive smile.
"What do you wa-" He was short of breath as Felicia lunged forwards and locked lips with his, much like last time and both closed their eyes. Peter takes a while to reciprocate the kiss but he soon does. Felicia's hands made their way behind his neck while his hands made it to her waist. She slips in her tongue and he follows suite. They began fighting for dominance and Felicia moans in pleasure.
'He's such a good-wait scratch that-a great kisser!' Felicia thought as they kissed. Suddenly, Peter's eyes shot wide open in shock.
'What the hell am I doing?! I need to get out!' he thought frantically. With Felicia distracted he suddenly pushed her away and rushed out the closet into the halls without a word, leaving a disappointed and sad Felicia.
'Damn it!' she angrily thought, 'Why? Am I not good enough for him?! I'll find a way for him to love me!' Felicia declared to herself.
With Peter Parker…
Peter Parker rushed out the room and into the hallway. He quickly walks away from the room to avoid any encounter with Felicia.
'What the hell is wrong with me?! I-I-Why did I kiss her?' Peter berated himself as he made his way towards his locker. He passes by a clock and takes a brief look at it. The clock reads '7:51' so 9 more minutes until class. He picks up the pace and once he finally has visual on his locker he makes a mad dash towards it, ignoring the looks the students gives him. Once he made it he inputs his code and the locker opens. He positions the locker door to the right, obscuring his right side. Unbeknownst him, a certain cheerleader spots him and approaches him. Peter places any materials he doesn't need now into the locker and collects any materials he needs. Once finished, he closes the locker and attempts to walk to the right but a certain cheerleader was in the way.
"WOAH!" Peter exclaimed in surprise as he almost bumped into the cheerleader, Liz Allen. Once he regained his composure he confronts Liz Allen.
"Liz what are you doing here? I got, uh, things to do. Whatever it is make it quick." Peter told Liz as he rubs hand over his face, clearly showing frustration.
"I-I-I-" Liz stutters as she shifted nervously in front of Peter. Who wouldn't be nervous to talk to New York's crime fighting superhero. If she found Peter fascinating before, she now found him amazing and brave. She once used to bully Peter, but now she saw him in a new way. She couldn't finish her sentence as the warning bell rang.
"*sigh* Look, we'll talk later, I gotta get to class." Peter assured Liz and walked past her. Liz was left standing there disappointed and angry at herself. She was contemplating whether or not to ask him out on a date this morning. Ever since she and Flash broke up a few weeks ago she had an internal battle on whether or not to ask him out. Each time she attempted to ask him out he was always busy at the time. Now that he wasn't busy today she decided to go to his locker and ask him out, though that failed. Maybe at lunch she'll have the chance, though she was afraid he might reject her for what's she done to him in the past. Liz then went on to class with that thought in mind. Unfortunately or fortunately, she had the same class as Peter in 1st period.
Peter entered Mr. Warren's classroom earlier than usual, though that was because he was out fighting crime at the time. When he got there he made his way to his usual seat next to his best friend Harry Osborn. Said friend was there already and waved him over. Once he sat down he turned to Harry.
"Hey Harry." Peter greeted his best friend.
"Sup Pete!" Harry smiled as he saw his best friend. He leaned in close enough so no one could hear.
"Did you fight any crime on your way here?" Harry whispered. Peter looked around to see if anyone was listening. Once he was satisfied there were no eavesdroppers he turned back to Harry.
"Nope, no crime on the way here surprisingly. They must be tired of having their butts kicked." Peter whispered back to Harry. The comment caused Harry to chuckle and patted his friend on the back.
"Well Pete, thanks for watching over the city for us New Yorkers. You deserve a parade, though the Daily Bugle blames you for everything." Harry frowned, the way he saw it, Peter was a hero not a menace. Hell, he once helped Harry in his alter-ego, so he had his thanks.
"It's okay, as long as I help the city, I'm fine with the slander." Peter assured his best friend while shrugging. He was being honest with that comment. As long no one suffered what he suffered through, he's alright with the slander. Both parties sat in silence, enjoying it. Soon Sally, Liz, Randy, Flash, Hobie, Kenny, and Glory walked in together. As soon as they got in they immediately saw Peter Parker, or Spider-Man. Knowing more than what meets the eye about Peter Parker changed their perspective completely. His former tormentors decided to ease up on tormenting him as he now deals with things beyond their power. Flash, a big fan of Spider-Man, never thought that Puny Parker would turn out to be his idol. It made him feel guilty that he bullied his idol, but now he respects Peter. Sally grew a frown, remembering her failed attempts at achieving a relationship with Peter. She once had a small crush on the geek but she was afraid that pursuing a relationship with him would make her unpopular and no one would want to hang out with her. Though, that crush developed after the field trip at ESU. Ever since the day after that, she noticed his changes; no longer needing glasses, developed muscle, and a good body. Like Felicia, whenever no one was looking, she would ever so steal a glance at Peter, admiring his positive changes, though she never thought those changes caused a negative. 'Seduction didn't work or being forward, so what will work?' Sally wondered. The blonde cheerleader needed to find a way to get Peter notice her, and possibly ask her out once more, only this time she would answer with a 'Yes' instead of 'No' without a second thought. Kenny, along with Flash and Randy, liked Spider-Man, and knowing one of your classmates, especially being on of his tormentors, shocked him. Randy never joined in bullying Peter as he found the guy to be cool. Kenny felt ashamed of himself when he found out he bullied Spider-Man. He decided to ease up on him so that he wouldn't have too much on his plate, he has enough as it is. Hobie suspected that Peter could be Spider-Man and his theory was confirmed. Spider-Man was his inspiration to push forward. He wanted to do good in the world, not stand by and watch it burn. Glory would have never thought that Peter Parker, the school's biggest geek, would be Spider-Man. She got suspicious, more than once, that Peter could be hiding a secret. One time was when he dodged the water balloons Flash threw at him and the other when he back flipped at the ice rink. Now she knows his secret and it changed her life. Her classmate is going every night risking his life fighting thugs and super villains.
The group takes a seat nearby Peter and Harry. Suddenly, MJ and Gwen walk in together and make their way towards Peter, smiling along the way, though, Gwen looked nervous. Her crush happened to be New York's vigilante. She respected Spider-Man, but to find out it happened to be a friend she knew and loved, her respect grew immensely. Unknown to her, there was a competition awaiting her if she wanted to have a relationship with Peter. Shots will be fired, scowls and frowns will be shown during the great war for the love of Peter Parker. It will be like a game of chess, strategy and moving at the right time is a key factor for the upcoming war.
"Hey tiger." MJ waved at Peter as she made her way to him. He turned around and put on a smile at seeing his friend MJ.
"Hey MJ, life treating you well?" Peter asked her. She smiled for his concern over her as she sat down next to him on his left. Gwen came in and sat next to her left, filling up the last empty seat in the row.
"I'm fine Peter, though I should be asking you if you're alright," MJ then leaned in closer, "Cause' ya know, you're other occupation at night." MJ whispered in his ear referring to his superhero career.
"I'm fine MJ," Peter assured her, "Sides' I have an increased healing factor, so any injuries I get would be healed."
"That's good to have."
"Really helps at hiding my injuries." Peter grinned. Having an enhanced healing factor can really work wonders, hiding and fixing injuries. That way his Aunt doesn't find out. Liz and Sally noticed how close MJ and Peter are and scowled at the scene before them. The jocks were too busy to notice but Glory noticed this, unable to keep the amused look on her face. She would have thought only Liz would be the one scowling at the scene, but having Sally, the one who rejected Peter, would scowl at the scene. 'Must be because he's Spider-Man.' Glory guessed. She wouldn't be surprised that every girl would want to jump at Peter once they discovered he was secretly Spider-Man.
Dropping in unannounced was Felicia Hardy. She creeps her way into the room and sits far enough so that Peter, his friends, and the in-crowd would see her, but she can see them. With her skills as a burglar, she completed her task. She observes Peter and MJ talking to each other and notices as close they get. Much like Liz and Sally, she scowls at the scene as they had smiles and their faces, laughing once in a while until the bell rung. She wished she was the one talking to Peter, oh how she would do anything to be in that position. 'Peter will come to his senses and he'll realize that I'm the right one for him, not the blonde or the redheaded bimbo.' Felicia assured herself. She took a quick look to the in-crowd, and with her increased eyesight, she spots Sally and Liz looking at Peter and MJ interacting, scowling at the scene. 'This is going to be harder than I thought with those two bitches added into the mix' Felicia growled in her mind. Right as Mr. Warren walks in, the bell rings for 1st period. Peter and MJ broke off their conversation to focus on learning, as did everyone else in the room as it got quiet in a few moments. Mr. Warren places his briefcase on his desk and clears his throat, gathering everyone's attention.
"Alright class, lets begin on our lesson for today." Mr. Warren then started to teach the class as they began to pay attention and take notes. During note taking, Sally wrote a note she was going to throw at Peter. Once she was finished she made sure no one was looking. Once she was sure no one was looking she took aim and threw the crumpled paper in front of Peter. The paper made its way to its intended target without a hitch. Peter noticed the crumpled paper ball on his desk and curiosity caused him to grab it. He opened it and it revealed 'Meet me at my house after school. -Sally' Peter looked over his shoulder and found Sally waving and smiling at him. He groaned internally at the sight, though he decided to visit Sally since he didn't have to go patrolling after school and he wasn't busy. He gave a nod towards Sally and turned back to taking notes for the class. Sally was giddy with joy and couldn't keep the grin off her face. She formulated a plan in her mind consisting of picking out an outfit that would keep Peter's eyes on her and her alone. Next she would make sure she looked and smelled nice, and finally flirt with him. She figured she needed Peter as a tutor so she decided to do what Liz does when Peter tutors her. At least this way she'll learn too, but she probably wouldn't be paying attention to Peter. Once she was satisfied with her plan she went back to taking notes for class. Sally made the first move and the oncoming war has begun, unknown to everyone.
A/N: Chapter 4 done, sorry if this took a while. I'm working on another story 'Heroes and Soldiers' and I have school. I'm going to be working on another crossover story with Red vs Blue and Marvel. I hope this chapter was good. I'm probably not a good author so I need your guy's honest opinion on this story and my other stories. I write these stories cause I have nothing to do. Besides, I find it entertaining and relaxing as well. Follow, Review, Favorite for more! (I honestly cringed when I wrote that) See ya later and look out for a Red vs Blue and Marvel crossover!
