Chapter 2: A new life part 1

Two weeks have gone by since Peter has met the X-Men and he still had the card Professor Xavier had given the offer some thought but he decided not to go after all his life had gotten pretty interesting. With a new suit he got within the last two weeks, it was fantastic having the suit around it saved him the time to switch outfits and it made its own webbing, now he did not have to keep buying the formulas for his web fluid.

Unlike his recently old life with the old Spider-Man costume, he was not as strong, not as fast, and not as agile, but now he was stronger, faster, and agiler yes but the most important was his attitude. The attitude in Peter had changed from a mediocre to more serious, a dry sense of humor, and having more backbone and he was still respectful.

That's not to say though he was frightened at the sudden changes that occurred to him, for the most part, he was trying to get used to the new him until one day he paid his Professor Connors a visit at his laboratory. It was there that Peter learned something new.

"Well, I can't say I've gotten something quite like this before Spider-Man." Connors studied the ooze that was in the container, early Spider-Man had stopped by to get his suit analyzed, and he found it strange that the web-slinger would ask him to do such a thing.

When he agreed to remove a piece of the suit from him, it moved away from his tweezers stunning the doctor. Spider-Man told him that he would hold on to a good chunk of the suit from his wrist area. With that, the doctor grabbed a sheer of scissors, cutting the ooze revealing a large portion of Spider-Man actual skin and finally placing it in a container for further studies.

He was surprised to see the suit regenerate itself leaving the scientist a little bewildered.

"And you said you had some sort of reaction to it?"

Spider-Man looked from the distance with a black version of the suit, which had a white spider in the middle of his chest and legs more narrowed and sharper, his eyepieces was definitely sharper that of the red and blue suit. To top it off he was a little disturb by it at times, however, he would keep it on 99% of the time only when a shower was needed he would take it off.

"Well it definitely made me stronger, I've noticed a different personality change when I got. Think you can help me out here doc to know what I'm really dealing with here?"

Doctor Connors put a hand to his chin, "It's worth a try, and I will look into it and let you know if I can come up with anything."

"Thanks, Doc." Spider-Man shook the man left hand and left web swinging out the window he dove out going to the Daily Bugle that evening. He was swinging from building to building when suddenly he saw the fire truck, police cars, ambulances, and S.W.A.T truck heading somewhere in a rush.

"Time to do the hero thing Spidey…"

Now with a new course in mind, he hopped unto one of the squad cars and enjoyed the drive for the moment hearing any news over the radio of what was going.

"Attention all units…attention all units…Cantus industry on fire in Downtown Mat…multiple people trapped inside the building, be advised we got hostages as well take precaution…"

'Hostages hmm…no problem.' He smirked, 'Whoever is behind this must be really desperate to get money what loser.'

Quickly Spider-Man jumped off and webbed swung to his destination.


20 minutes later

When Spider-Man got there, he crashed through the window to be met with goons in advance tech suits. He looked at them from head-to-toe; "I don't suppose that you guys are here to buy a souvenir, no?"

"Spider-Man!" One of them shouted, he looked at his partner, "Get him!"

They charged at him, Spidey leaped over them and quickly spun his web yanking one of the two high-tech goons towards him; he launched an uppercut knocking him high into midair before hammering him down to the ground hard knocking him unconscious.

The over goon called for backup over the radio and suddenly the door to the main entrance was kicked opened and two more high-tech suit armed men came in.

"Three against one that hardly seems fair don't you think? I like those odds." Spider-Man said cracking his knuckles chuckling lowly, the three goons circled him. He waited for one of them to pounce.

He got his wish the three of them jumped at him, he quickly leaped into the air and landed on one of them on the head as they crashed into each other. The three yellow suited men dawdle backward trying to clear their heads. He landed right behind the three-man squad flipping over to the closer one while he grabbed his shoulders he split kicked the two goons off the head of one the yellow suit before judo-flipping him to a wall knocking all three of them unconscious.

"What a bunch of losers and a waste of time." He walked to the door to be met with two more high-tech goons. He grabbed both their heads crunching them together causing them to slump to the floor. He noticed the scenario around him the whole place was on fire, debris was everywhere, and parts of the ceiling already fell and crumbled on the main floor.

"Why would anyone want to blow this place up?" he said picking up the pace. Suddenly the hallway side blew a hole and he jumped back just in time to make sure his suit wasn't damaged, he remembered the last time he was facing fire, he had to save a baby from a collapsing building and he was in a great deal of pain and he did not like the sensation one bit.

As he entered, he saw parts of what he saw was part an office was on fire he groaned.

"I love what they did with the place." He said sarcastically, quickly he went to where the windows were of the burning office and carefully maneuvered his way through the fire to reach the end wall. Moreover, when he got close to the wall spider-sense kicked in and he was thrown back close to the flames, dazed as he was Spider-Man could feel the heat and he did not like it one bit.

Groggily he stood trying to clear his head, staggering backward to make sure he was away from the fire. His vision was blurring and he couldn't make a strange light, it was glowing very brightly and he was making his way towards the light and he was about to take that final step when he that familiar tingling sensation.

As he took that final step he felt his whole body froze, it puzzled him he couldn't move his body at all, "The hell!?"

He tried to move his left leg; it would not respond to him, he tried his right leg same thing he tried moving his lower half of his body but it didn't obey him. He moved his upper and at least that he had control over. It wasn't until his vision returned to full capacity that he paled instantly before stood a roaring inferno mere inches away from his face. He started to move away and finally, he felt that he was in control of these movements.

'Next time watch where you're going or you're going to get us killed!' a voice shouted at him

'Yeah, I have to watch…HEY! Who said that?' Silence was his response

"I must be imagining things." He shrugged it off before going to a nearby wall crawling over the raging inferno. Once across he saw an opened door and quickly web zip towards it and once he was there he was confronted by four more yellow spandex men.

"Oh great you guys again."

"Spider-Man! Don't let him spoil the boss's plans." One of them said as he said it he was blinding by webbing, "Get this stuff out of my face!"

He started to run around in circles struggling to get the webbing off his mask. Quickly Spider-Man webbed two of the three goons cocooning them and hanging them unto the stabilized ceiling leaving them to struggle in vain to break free.

The other one grabbed a pole charging at the trying to nail him in the head. Spider-Man rolled his eyes as he grabbed the pole by its end holding it tightly. The goon struggled to break it free from Spidey's grasp failing to do so.

"Have a nice trip why don't you."

"What are you…WHOA!" Before he finished his sentence Spider-Man flung out the window and he quickly dashed towards it stopping at the bar end and webbed the pole that the high-tech goon held on to for dear life. He webbed it to the bar.

"Why don't you hang for a while it's a nice evening to get some air," Spider-Man said with a chuckle

"I think I conked out my pants…," he said holding onto the pole that he tried to attack Spidey with

"TMI man….TMI…," he said walking away he nailed the last struggling goon with a backhand before leaving. He looked around the room there had to be a way to the next floor but where? An explosion took place and he looked up to five more powered suit men rushed in through via rope.

"I'm really starting to get annoyed with you guys."

"Well deal with it Spider-Man you think can get by us! Just go ahead and try!" One them was in silver tech suit hold some sort of energy gun while the others had similar outfits just like the rest of goons he faced.

Peter face palmed himself, "Just who the hell are you guys!"

"We're known as the H-Bomber! Remember it because it's the last name you're going to hear!" Peter rolled his eyes.

"I don't have time for this." He dashed towards them dodging an energy projectile coming his way and he grabbed hold a desk and threw at them knocking them all five down before the webbed them to the floor with the desk on top of them.

Jumping through the ceiling he heard cries for help.

"Help! Can anyone hear me, please help!"

"Help I'm stuck under this rubble!" Spiderman quickly threw off the ceiling log off the first the worker who was male helping him to his feet.

"Hey you alright?" he asked the male worker

"Yeah just dandy… a few scrapes and bruises here and there but little soreness around certain parts of my wrist and feet." He said rubbing his sore bones, Spidey nodded going to help the second the victim. She was going in and out of unconscious as Spidey approached her, she was a little bit more scrapped with bruises, and she was covered in blood from head to the left side of her face. Her white blouse was covered in blood and Spider-Man saw that the desk pinned her down.

He grabbed and tossed it to the whole that he came through and carefully lifted her bridal style. The man looked at his coworker, "Oh no Mariam!"

"Listen is there a way out of here?"

The man looked around through the blaze seeking for a way out and luckily, he found the door not too far from his desk.

"Over there!" he pointed to the door, "We have to hurry though I don't think to have a concussion is all that great as well as broken bones."

"No duh Captain obvious!" Spider-Man said, "Did you figure that out all by yourself you should get an award."

"No need for sarcasm."

Once they reached the stairs Spider-Man spider sense tingled and as they made their way down the stairs crumbled underneath them and Spider-Man leaped to the nearest solid object that he could find, sticking to it with the unconscious woman in his arms.

"H-help! I'm slipping!" Spider-Man quickly spun his web still on to the unconscious Mariam in one hand and spun his web with the other.

"AHHH…Whoa…what the?"

He caught the man before he was splattered on the ground on the pile of rubble.

"I got a better idea if you don't mind going all along with it."

"Wait a minute what?"

A few moments later Spider-Man flew out the window when the building exploded, the man in his ears was giving him a headache with his screaming as they descended rapidly into the night air.

He spun his webs to slow his fall and when he did, he noticed flashing lights at the ground he looked at his two passengers, well at his only fully awake passenger.

"Thank you for flying air Spider."

"No tip for you!"

"Tourist."

Spider-Man then descended to the ground where the two victims were being attended for their wounds. Spider-Man looked at this building once again and he thought to himself who could have wanted this building to be blown up it was ludicrous!

He shook his head and swung away from the scene. Unbeknownst to him, a pair of yellow eyes under a hood was watching him and his every movement.

"I have found him." The hooded figure said through a com-link

"Good, make sure you keep tabs on him and remember failure is not an option! And you know the price of failure." A sinister voice said through it.

"I understand." She said through gritted teeth. Once the debriefing was done, the figure disappeared into the alleyway not noticed by any authority figure there.
