Hello Friends!, It is I Nate_The_Bate! And I bring new stories!

This was the story I was talking about when I annouced Stupendous's discontinuation. While Stupendous was fun to write, I eventually started to feel like I was doing anything all that unique with the character. While this premise isn't all that original either, I still have some unique Ideas for it.

Chapters for this story will be much shorter, so that they can be uploaded faster.

So please enjoy this new adventure!

Today was like any other day, well other than the fact they had a field trip at school. Mary-Jane monotonously got ready for school, she brushed her long red hair and put it into a ponytail. She then lotioned her porcelain skin, she then put on a black tank top and short blue shorts to accentuate her features, finally she allowed her emerald eyes to stare at herself in the mirror, she smirked and made her way out the bathroom.

She walked downstairs and was greeted by a woman who pretty much looked like her but older and with brown hair.

"Hi Aunt Anna." Mary-Jane said. Her mother looked up at her and gave a small smile.

"Oh, morning MJ. What's got you up so early hmm? Cheerleading practice?" Anna asked.

"No, we have a field trip today. Didn't I tell you?" MJ questioned.

"O-oh, I must've forgot dear. Do you want me to drive you to school?" Anna questioned.

"Nah, my friends will pick me up." MJ said. Anna's face flashed with a bit of concern.

"Mary-Jane dear, I'm concerned about the… company you hang out with." Anna stated, MJ rolled her eyes.

"Oh my god, again with this aunt Anna? Nothing is wrong with my friends." MJ snapped. Anna recoiled a bit and sighed.

"Okay dear, whatever you say. Stay safe." Anna expressed. MJ then opened the door and went outside.

MJ sat at the back of the large van she was in. Her friends were being loud, like usual, her friends were pretty much all the popular kids at school. Her bestfriends Elizabeth "Liz" Allan and Sally Arvil, their friends Eugene Thompson, Kenny "Kong" Mcfarlene and her boyfriend Mark Allen.

Her friends were all not so great people, all of them were mean and kinda crappy people. But, that didn't matter to her though, all she wanted to do was live without any problems for the rest of her life, especially since she left her childhood home.

"Hey MJ, what do you think about Margaret's new dress?" Liz questioned her, 'Who was that again?' MJ thought. Her thoughts were answered when Liz showed her phone towards her. As she looked at it, she didn't think the dress was half bad, but that was not what anyone in the van wanted to hear.

"Oh my god, it looks so ugly." She stated with the fakest smile she could muster. Everyone laughed.

"Abso-fucking-loutley bitch! That's what I'm saying, we should honestly trash the fuck out of it." Sally expressed.

"Can't wait to see Parker today, I bet the little nerd is so excited about today." Flash mentioned.

"I bet he's gonna be talking about boring science shit." Kong stated.

"To who? I'm sure as hell nobody's gonna bother to listen." Liz insulted. Peter Parker, a name she knew all too well. Peter was victim number one, she didn't know what the poor boy did to get the vitriol of everyone in this vehicle except her.

"Hey Red, can't believe they're making us go on this boring ass field trip, say, how about we just skip it, ey? And go ahead and have some fun?" Mark whispered as he caressed.

"Of course babe, but let's stay there for a bit first. Your grades are dropping and it would be nice to get the extra credit." She expressed. Mark made a 'tsk' sound in annoyance.

"Fine. Atleast I get to piss off Parker before we leave." Mark mentioned.

MJ sighed quietly, this was just another day, another day of being a horrible person.

MJ had obviously known that today was going to be boring, but dear god this is extremely bad. She didn't care about what the scientists were saying and neither did anyone else it seems, well except for one person.

A boy, around her height but slightly taller, with brown hair, hazel eyes and olive skin became the focus of her vision. This boy was Peter Parker, the boy who her friends declared as a loser.

She never had a conversation with the guy, intact her only interactions with him from elementary till now was just her watching him get tormented by her friends, which led her to believe that he more than likely did not favor her that much.

Usually his face had one tiredness and just a few bits of depression (honestly could you blame him?), but now, he looked… happy. She found it cute, her love for acting and movies were similar to his love for science. Hell she used to be in stage plays a lot, not so much anymore though.

"Ah, this is a good one. These are our newest genetic achievement, a new species of spider that we created. These little guys will be used to hunt the large numbers of rats in New York." He explained, MJ looked at the spiders, there were fourteen of them, but one display cage seemed to be empty. She thought it was weird but she decided not to dwell on it to not allow panic to set in.

Unbeknownst to her, a spider was on the ceiling looking similar to the enhanced spiders in the cage and it had its eyes on the window leading outside.

The spider lowered itself onto a young man's shoulder. The boy then started to move, panic set in for the little critter, it did what most animals did in a stressful situation. It bit down on the back of the boy's neck, he hissed, he raised his hand to the back of his neck to inspect the bite. Luckily for the little one he had managed to run off. The boy who had been bitten was Peter, he inspected his neck and when he didn't notice anything he carried on with his day.

The spider scampered off to a next person by crawling up her leg, after a bit it had reached her shoulder. And like last time she started moving, causing panic and repeat of last time, but unlike late time the critter met its end with a swift slap on the shoulder. The girl was MJ.

"Ow! The hell?" She hissed. Liz heard her wincing.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Liz asked.

"A spider bit me." MJ answered, Sally inspected the bite.

"Ouch, let's hope it's not venomous." Sally expressed.

"I hope so too…" MJ was cut off by her fainting. The entire room fell into panic, The teacher ran up to MJ and tried to wake her up, only to see the girl not responding.

"Call an ambulance!"

THREE DAYS LATER

MJ awoke in her bedroom, her head was killing her and she could barely get out of bed. She walked to her mirror and noticed something weird.

"When the hell did I get so jacked?" A valid response to what she was seeing. She was fit beforehand as it was necessary for cheerleading, but she was absolutely sure she did not have abs. Also her arms and legs had noticeably gained a bit more muscle as well.

MJ admired herself and smiled.

"At least my ass is the same, although my boobs are a little smaller, eh, they were a bit too big anyway." She stated. Deciding to carry on with her day, MJ put on a fresh change of clothes and made her way outside her bedroom.

"Mary-Jane! You're awake!" Anna yelled out. MJ was confused, why was she so surprised?

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" MJ asked. Anna stared at her niece incredulously.

"You mean you remember?" Anna questioned.

"Remember what?"

"You were bitten by a spider, and then you fainted. You got released from the hospital yesterday."

"Wait, what? How come I don't remember?" She questioned.

"You were out for five days sweetie, it's Saturday." Anna explained, MJ's eyes widened.

"Wow." MJ stated.

"One of your classmates got bitten too." Anna added.

"Who?"

"Our next door neighbor's boy."

"...Who?" Mj said again, trying to remember. Anna rolled her eyes.

"Peter hon." Anna answered, MJ's heart almost stopped.

"Oh god, is he okay?" MJ asked, she was genuinely worried for him, Peter for the little she's heard and seen over the years, was an extremely sickly dude. And if she got knocked out for days, imagine him.

"Thankfully, he's alright, he woke up before you did, actually. He's a nice kid, I wouldn't want anything to happen to him." Anna said.

"Are we talking about the same dude who can barely run twenty meters?" MJ asked. Anna chuckled

"Yes. I was surprised as well. In fact, I think you should visit him. He just came over to help me with my garden, so could you give him this?" Anna said as she handed a container with a slice of apple pie inside.

"O-oh, okay." MJ responded, she did not like the situation she was just put in, but it's her aunt, so she'll do it.

MJ slid on her shoes and made her way outside. She felt weird, but the good kind, like she was in new skin. As she reached the front door, she began to knock it.

"Hello?" Someone from the inside called.

"Hi!, I have something for you!" She shouted. The door then opened, it was Peter, but weirdly, he didn't have his glasses.

"Oh, it's you." Peter said dismissively, looks like that just proved her assumptions during the trip.

"Yeah… my aunt said to give this to you." MJ expressed. Peter stared at the container blankly.

"Cool, tell her I said thanks." He said as he tried to take it from her, but it wouldn't leave her grasp.

"Um, you can let go now Mary-Jane." Peter stated.

"I-i know, I'm trying." She stammered out as she struggled. As she struggled and panicked, Peter realized what was happening.

"Mary, calm down." He attempted to reassure. However MJ did not listen to anything.

"I-it's okay, I got this." She stuttered out. "This is so embarrassing!" She said in her head.

"Mary-Jane! You need to calm down!" Peter practically shouted, but she still wasn't listening. Not wanting to deal with this, he then dragged her inside, MJ let out yelp at the sudden action as pressed onto Peter's rock hard…chest?

"When the fuck did Parker get so buff?" She thought, and like clockwork her face became the same shade as her hair.

"NO! No! MJ stop it! You have a boyfriend!" She said in her mind once again. Peter locked the door and removed her from his chest.

"I know what's happening to you." He said.

"What? W-what's happening to me?" She asked.

"The spider, it gave you powers." Peter said with utmost conviction. MJ stared at him with a deadpan expression, then she burst into laughter. Peter rolled his eyes.

"A-are you serious?" She expressed between laughs. Peter's expression however remained serious.

"I'm not joking, look." Peter said as he walked towards a wall and… started climbing it? MJ's eyes widened.

"Huh?"

Peter even stood on the wall as if it was the ground.

"HUH!?" MJ exasperated, Peter then extended his hand.

"C'mon, but please take your shoes off first, don't wanna mess up the wall, May would ask questions that I don't wanna answer." Peter stated, and so MJ did exactly as he said and took his hand. She placed her foot on the wall and began climbing.

"What the hell? How am I doing this?" She questioned.

"Like I said, the spider gave us powers. Also, have your other powers manifested?" Peter asked.

"Other powers?" MJ said.

"Yeah, do you have super strength?"

"Not that I know of."

"Super speed?"

"Nope."

"Okay… did you just wake up today?" Peter asked.

"Well yeah, does that have something with it?" She questioned.

"I think so, anyhow you need to come with me." Peter said. MJ gave him a confused look.

"Why?" She asked again, and Peter gave her the biggest smile she had ever seen from him.

"Well, we have to test our powers don't we?"

"This is my testing grounds." Peter boasted. MJ looked around the area, and then looked at Peter with immense judgment.

"An abandoned scrapyard?" She remarked.

"Okay princess, are you too good for this scrapyard? No? Then shut your trap." He sneered. She rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, what do you want me to do?" She said, Peter then pointed at the massive semi-truck.

"Lift it." He stated casually, MJ looked at him incredulously.

"Excuse me?"

"Lift. It." Peter said again emphasizing each word he was saying.

"How the fuck do expect me to that?" She questioned.

"By using your back?" He remarked. She scowled at him.

"Maybe he does deserve getting his shit kicked in…. Ok that was a little mean." she thought.

"Smartass." She sneered. She then walked up and grabbed the truck, she took a deep breath.

"Here goes…" She said to herself. She lifted arms with all her strength and threw the truck into the air. Her eyes practically popped out her skull and Peter stared at the truck crashing down with a smirk.

Dust flew into the air, MJ covered her eyes and once the dust settled, the truck was square inside a crater. MJ was dumbfounded, Peter then put his hand on her shoulder and whistled.

"You know, I had the same reaction when I did this myself." He expressed, then he heard laughter, he turned to the slightly shorter girl to her giggling.

"That was so…. Cool! You got more stuff I can do?" She squealed excitedly, Peter chuckled at her excitement.

"Knew you'd say that." Peter expressed. For the rest of the day Peter and MJ tested their powers out. Such as who can lift the heaviest thing (which Peter won) and who could run around the massive 130ft scrapyard in 60 seconds (which neither of them did, but MJ got the closest with 69 seconds on the clock).

Fun, she was having fun. Never in a million years did MJ think she would be hanging out with her school's biggest loner, but here she was, laughing her butt off eating pizza that they ordered.

"You're kidding?" Peter asked, voice filled with disbelief. MJ chuckled at his reaction.

"I'm not! She was covered in so much mud and shit it was hilarious." MJ snickered.

"Wow, one of Midtown's wonder twins covered in dirt and crap. At Least her looks matched her personality." Peter spoofed. MJ gave him a smirk.

"Making fun of someone right in front of their bestfriend, pretty damn bold of you." she expressed. Silence came over the two and for a few minutes they sat in it, until Peter broke it.

"Why?"

MJ looked at the boy with a confused expression.

"What do you mean why?"

"Why do you hang out with them?" He asked simply.

Oh, that's what he was asking.

"You're different, you're actually nice and caring. And from what I've noticed, you don't take part in the shitty stuff they do. So, why stick with em, especially that dickwad Mark?"

Peter questioned.

In all honesty, she couldn't even answer that question as she didn't even know the answer, but she tried nonetheless.

"I was lonely, so I latched onto anyone who could give me companionship. They weren't that bad when I met them, so I just followed them in whatever they did. Guess I just have a bad habit of hanging around toxic people." She said while laughing nervously. Peter stared at the girl with a sad expression.

"Damn, didn't expect that." Peter expressed. MJ did not like his answer.

"What's 'didn't expect that' supposed to mean? I ain't shallow like other popular kids, shortie." She sneered. Peter was taken aback.

"Who the hell are you calling short?!" Peter yelled a little too loudly, this caused everyone in the restaurant to stare at them. Peter cleared his throat and calmed down. MJ snickered at his reaction.

"Y-you don't like being called short? T-that's like, s-so fucking funny dude." She said whilst trying to hold in her laughter.

"I don't like it because I'm not short."

"Dude you are barely taller than me, and I'm five foot five." MJ jeered. Peter gave her annoyed and a barely audible grumble.

"Anyhow, what I was going to say was that I'm sorry to hear that and me and you can start over." Peter said.

"Start over?" She asked.

"As in our relationship, I won't tell you to abandon your old friends even though you should, but I think you're cool and I would love to be friends with you. So… how bout it?" He explained, MJ stared at him contemplating his words and thought to herself…

"He's nice, funny-ish, and kinda hot… yeah, this could work." She thought to herself. She then smiled.

"Alright then, here's to our new beginning as superpowered buddies!" She exclaimed, Peter laughed and then grinned at her.

"Hey, I love your enthusiasm, but you should really quiet down." He said whilst looking around to see if anyone heard her outburst. She quickly covered her mouth.

"Y-yeah, you're right." She whispered as her face turned red. Unbeknownst to the two teens inside the restaurant, two people were watching them from afar.

"Holy smokes dude! What is MJ doing hanging out with that Nerd!" Kong asked. Flash laughed, he then took a picture of the two laughing.

"Oh Parker is so fucked now." Flash mumbled sinisterly.

School was always the worst part of the day for Peter, sure he had good grades, was liked by the teachers and he was mostly ignored by the general populace, but there was one large problem, well… three of them actually.

"Peter fucking Parker, how are ya man?" Mark Allan greeted dangerously. Peter gave the other much taller teenager a scowl.

"The fuck do you guys want?" He hissed, Mark laughed.

"The fuck I want? What I want is for you to stop hanging around my girl." Mark remarked before giving Peter a scowl that matched his own.

"Stealing another man's girl? That's low even for you Parker." Flash said, Peter looked at them confused, and then annoyance settled in.

"Of course these shitbags know." He said to himself. He then walked past them and tried to go on about his day.

"Piss off, she isn't your property. She can do whatever she wants." Peter said as he walked away. He was stopped by Mark.

"I don't think you get it, Parker. Cheerleaders are supposed to get with us Jocks, they are our property, her hanging out with a nerd like you makes her look bad." Mark said smugly. Peter's scowl deepened, Mark then dragged Peter closer and whispered.

"No one would want to hang out with a guy whose parents abandoned him anyway." Peter's eyes widened when he heard that statement, he clenched his fists hard, to the point where a trickle of red liquid slid down his fist.

Peter, shaking with violent rage, cocks his fist back. Flash and Kong's eyes widened as Peter delivered a right hook across Mark's face sending the boy flying. Peter immediately snapped out of his rage fueled state, and realized what he just did.

"Fuck…" He mumbled, he was in so much trouble.

"Why did boys have to be so stupid!?" MJ thought to herself. Here she was bolting her way towards the Principal's office. Behind her was Sally, who was following right behind her.

"MJ slow down! You have to come back! Mark needs you!" Sally exclaimed.

"Mark got himself in that situation, and he can sulk all he wants to!" MJ said. Sally looked at her best friend with a confused expression.

"STOP!" Sally shouted. MJ stopped in her tracks.

"Woah, woah! What are you saying? You think Peter fucking Parker is more important than your boyfriend? Than your friends?" Sally stated in utter disbelief. MJ started to become annoyed, she was talking as if Peter wasn't human.

"Peter is my friend, and because of my stupid boyfriend starting shit, my friend is in trouble. Now if you're gonna complain all the way there then you can fuck off." MJ said before she ran off once again leaving Sally behind.

After a minute of running, she finally got there. Peter then walked out with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

"Peter, you need to get your anger in check. You could've seriously hurt that boy." Ben scolded.

"Who cares? Honestly I think I did the school a favor by knocking his ego down a peg." Peter bleated.

"Young man, they said you sent him flying eight feet into the air." May added. Peter scratched his head sheepishly.

"Okay, I may have gone a bit overboard, but-" Peter was cut off by Ben.

"No more, this isn't like you son. We will finish discussing this at home." Ben stated with finality. Peter sighed and began to leave with them.

"Peter!" MJ called out, Peter turned to see her tackle him into a hug.

"Woah! H-hi Mary-Jane." Peter greeted. She looked up at him and sighed.

"I'm so, so sorry about Mark, you shouldn't get in trouble because of him." She said, Peter was blushing like crazy due to how close she was.

"It's o-okay! I-it's alright really! C-can you let go now?" He stammered. Her face then became red also and she quickly backed away. She then turned her attention to his aunt and uncle.

"Hi! Ijustwantedtosaypleasedon'tbetoohardonhimbyyeeeeee!" She blurted out before sprinting off in the opposite direction.

Ben laughed, May smiled and Peter sunk into embarrassment. May then turned to Peter

"Is our next door neighbor's niece your girlfriend?" She asked teasingly. Peter further sunk into embarrassment.

"Please, stop talking."

The day only got more bothersome. MJ was sure that the little snitch told Liz what she said, and MJ knew that a confrontation would come soon…

"MARY-JANE! YOU BITCH!"

Well not that soon, MJ turned to confront the livid bitch, with clear annoyance on her face.

"Screaming someone's name and calling them a bitch is sure fire way to get in trouble." MJ said to her. Liz scowled.

"Don't fucking care cunt. Now tell me the shit you said to Sally to my fucking face." She hissed.

"All I said was that your brother was at fault." MJ expressed.

"My brother's fault? No, you caused this because you cheated on him with Parker!" Liz yelled, MJ's face turned into one of surprise.

"What are you talking about?" MJ questioned. Liz only became even more pissed.

"Don't play fucking dumb with me! Why!? HOW COULD YOU?!" Liz screamed even more. But before things escalated, a teacher had fortunately come along.

"Hey! Both of you need to quit right now!" The teacher shouted. Liz stares MJ down, but then she backs off. The teacher leaves, but then Liz walks up to MJ and pokes her on the chest.

"I ain't done with you yet, bitch." Liz hissed as she walked off. MJ then looked on at her former friend and sighed, before getting ready to leave herself.

MJ sits in her bedroom, today was energetic to say the least. She was pretty sure school life had changed. Her Liz and the gang would definately try to make her life hell, but… she didn't feel too bad about it?

Sure she would get treated like less than trash by her former friends, but she would have more freedom. She didn't have to keep up about what people thought about her and she could do whatever she wanted.

And most of all, she could get closer to a new friend she made yesterday. Peter Parker, her only ally and the boy she may have a crush on, no scratch that she definitely has one.

Speaking of the devil, a knock on her window was heard and she looked over and saw Peter. She rushed over and opened it. As she examined his face, his eyes were puffy and he was sniffling.

"Woah, what's wrong?" She asked, Peter entered inside and rubbed his eyes.

"We had an argument, Ben, May and I." He mumbled. He then turned to her.

"Can I stay here for the night, please?" He begged.

"Ok, my aunt won't be here for the night, so you can stay." She said, Peter looked relieved. He then plopped himself onto her bed and looked around her room, and for him it was shocking. The only girly stuff he saw in here were makeup and boy band posters. Her room was painted in a deep crimson red, secondly there was a literal stack of CDs of old movies, including STAR WARS!? Peter sprung out the bed startling MJ, he then bolted towards the Star Wars CDs and examined them with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Holy shit dude! Almost broke my floor boards." She said as she examined them. Peter then sped right towards her face, once again startling her.

"You like Star Wars! Why didn't you tell me?" He said, MJ's face grew red and averted her gaze a bit.

"I didn't s-see the r-reason to." She stuttered. He then grabbed her shoulders and then shook her vigorously.

"Let's watch Star Wars!" He said.

"OKAY OKAY, STOP SHAKING ME!" MJ shouted. Peter stopped.

"Sorry." He apologized. MJ and Peter went downstairs and turned on the TV and placed the CD in the CD player. They both sat down, and MJ pressed play, the movie started. Other than the sound of the movie, there was silence, MJ uncomfortable with it turned to Peter. He looked happier than when he came to her, which was good, but she was curious as to why he was crying.

"Hey Peter, what happened?" She asked, Peter turned to her and sighed.

"After we got home, Ben tried to give me a lesson, a motto that he and my father lived by." Peter started, MJ winced, she remembered that Peter is an orphan and she hoped that this conversation was not going where she was thinking it was going.

"That when you have extraordinary powers, you have the responsibility to help others with it." He said, he then subconsciously clenched his fists, which MJ noticed and then placed her hand on his.

"I g-got so angry, when he mentioned him, I shouted at him, and May, about how my dad wasn't there for me, about how no one, not even them were there for me when everyone turned on me and treated me like fucking trash, and that I felt alone, so I ran away. I wandered around for a while, and after I got tired of that I came here." He finished, tears still in his eyes. MJ hugged him.

"It's alright, parents can be overbearing… sometimes. You can stay with me until it all calms down, m'kay?" She said, Peter let out a soft smile.

"Thanks Mary-Jane." Peter thanked.

"You're welcome. Now let's get back to the movie before obi-wan comes in. Seeing the meme always makes me laugh." MJ expresses eagerly.

"Oh the 'of course I know him, he's me'." Peter joked. MJ laughed.

"Yeah! That one. Also, call me MJ." MJ said to him. Peter looked at her in surprise, then a smile crept in.

Having a friend again was a nice feeling. And after a few hours and at the end of a new hope, the two teens had fallen asleep in each other's arms.

MJ woke up, beside her was empty which meant that Peter had left, and as her ears adjusted to being used again, sirens rang through, she looked outside and saw that the police were at Peter's house. She made her way outside and saw yellow tape surrounding the old home.

"What the fuck happened?" She questioned herself. She then walked up to an officer and poked him to get his attention.

"Um, excuse me Officer, but what happened here?" She asked, she prayed it wasn't too bad.

"Well miss, this home was robbed last night, and unfortunately a man was gunned down and killed." He explained, MJ's eyes widened…

Mr Parker was dead.
