Chapter 17- Meet Peter Parker part II
It was already Period 5 lunch time at Bayville High School and Peter Parker was starting to like his previous classes, he was in the same class as Kitty Pryde namely in the science department or should I should AP chemistry class together in first period. Despite her looks she was a very intelligent girl and the probably the only one in science class beside him who understood what the teacher was talking about the rest of the class were either asleep or not caring what the teacher was saying.
Second period was Geography class for Peter and go figure he was in the same class as Angelica, Kurt and a guy named Lance. He could have sworn that the guy was giving him a hateful glare for what reason he didn't know so he ignored him. Third period was Physical Education and there he was with another familiar red head and a guy wearing shades so it wasn't a surprise he recognized the X-Men right of the bat.
Fourth was Global History a mediocre type of class for him at least, it wasn't his favorite class nor it was his least favorite it was one of those classes that he was kind of laid back but he still had to pay attention, and now he here is on his lunch break sitting by himself as usual well when he was back in his old High School as a Freshmen this happen yet history was repeating himself as he had no one to sit with nor talk to.
He sat eating his fries enjoying himself when despite the commotion, he heard a pair of boots coming towards his way, he didn't pay much mind to it, though a feminine gasp was heard then suddenly his spider-sense went off. Whoever was watching was going "OOOOOHHHHHH" and then suddenly the cafeteria was doing it when they saw the person's feet fly under them.
He spun around abruptly catching the falling victim with his extended arm as the person fell into place. Next thing he knew spider-sense went haywire as he saw the tray and food coming down due to gravity, for Peter on the other hand everything was moving in slow motion thus allowing him to extending his right hand catching the tray and very precise timing he caught the following a half wrapped up BLT half sandwich, a milk carton that was open, applesauce and finally mayonnaise that was filled to the top that was ready to be spilled.
The whole cafeteria was completely stunned quiet, all eyes were directed towards the brown haired teenager saving a gothic girl from complete humiliation. He turned his head in a 180 looking at the people, a few moments went by whispers about what happened a few seconds ago, "And what the heck are you guys looking for, a show? Go back to your business."
Immediately, the entire cafeteria sprang back to life with chatter meanwhile a group of the X-Men chatted amongst themselves in a low voice, "Did you just see vat I did zust now?"
"That was like insane, he didn't see Rogue and then next thing you know he saves her!" Kitty was still rubbing her eyes as Peter as she got to know completely out of the blue save the one mutant they were trying to get on their side, "Scott do you have like any idea how is that possible?"
"I wish I knew, because either he can see the future or it was some stroke of luck, keep an eye on him and pay attention to his movements he might be one on us." The three friends kept their eyes glued on him for the time being watching for anything suspicious.
The gothic girl was getting a little irritated as well as uncomfortable for some random guy to save her like that not that she appreciated it but bad things usually happened when someone touches her. Luckily for her they were both wearing long sleeve or this could have been trouble.
"Do ya mind letting meh go now sugah or is this how ya usually treat every damsel?"
"Huh?" Peter completely forgot he still held to the person he saved, "Oh, my bad." He helped her on her own two feet, "So…umm…how are you doing after that fall?"
The girl shrugged, "Fine Ah guess, a little shaken but fine."
The awkwardness had kick in, Peter had no clue on how to start a conversation with a girl yet he had gotten a couple of sentence out of her for starters, 'Besides the only time I talk to girls is with Gwen or Mary Jane however they not here at the moment.'
Rouge said her thanks leaving the teenaged boy alone, Peter sat down with a sigh when another voice called out to him.
"Umm…Peter was it?"
He looked up to see Angelica smiling shyly at him, he had to admit she did look cute like that…wait a sec…cute? He hardly even knew the girl! And already he thinking that she was cute what next…
"Yeah, Angelica right?"
She gave a small nod, "Mind if I sit here with you my other 'friends' don't feel comfortable around me and I owe you a thank you for saving me."
He nodded his head as the red girl sat down in front of him placing her crutch on the side of the table. She bit her lips wanting to say something more but just couldn't find the words, to put into sentences. Peter noticed that she was very uncomfortable, so he broke the ice between them.
"You feel very comfortable when meeting new people don't you?" He smirked, "Don't worry I feel the same way at times when new people are around me besides before I moved here I wasn't very popular back in the city or with other people."
"Really? Someone as smart as you should have plenty of friends, you seem nice when you are not angry that is." She shuddered remembering what he almost did to Jasmine's wrist.
Peter moved his head in a nonchalant way, "Well I was bullied most of my days so I can't bear to watch another person get bullied and for what reason! Just so they can their get fun out of it, I wouldn't spit in their direction for the way they treat others."
Across from them the X-Men noticed how Angelica was enjoying herself as they noted on how she laughed, smiled and conversed with the brown haired teenager, Scott, Kurt and Kitty cringed on how they neglected Angelica and how the professor would scold them on how important to give a former enemy the benefit of the doubt, though that was a different issue all together something caught Kurt's eyes.
Despite the giggles of Peter and Angelica were doing they seemed to be comfortable for the time being. As they exchanged backstories with each other, they realized they had a lot in common both fell victim to a series of misfortunes, relatives suddenly dying, keeping a promise to them to be better, being bullied by others, confused, lonely, and miserable.
Soon they fell into a comfortable silence with each other enjoying their lunch, Angelica suddenly remembered something, "Shoot! I forget the napkins…umm…can you watch my stuff for me?"
"Sure…"
'What are you, her maid servant?'
'Oh shut it…I liked it better when you were quiet…'
The green eyed teenager smiled, grabbing her one crutch she brought limping away to grab napkins for herself. Peter noticed something poking him in the wrist as he tried to flex it, he looked at it to notice a fork on his wrist.
'Stupid spider powers!' He looked left making sure no one was noticing his predicament, he pulled it off him only to find black web like substance coming off it, "Ugh…"
He flicked his wrist again to have a second black web line fire across the cafeteria hitting a tray across the table from him, "Umm…this never happened before…"
'Idiot, your clothes are part of me of course it's going to shoot webbing!'
'You didn't bother to tell me because…'
'You seem to have everything 'under control' so I didn't want to bother you with my borrrriiinnngg lecture.'
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Angelica coming back, "Oh boy…'
The X-Men eyes bulged out their sockets when they saw the webbing, Kurt commented, "Zat guy is definitely a mutant."
"His powers must be manifesting now, he going to be freaking out quick get to him before anyone sees him." Scott commented
Unfortunately the principle Raven Darkhölme aka Mystique saw Peter shoot his webbing, 'It seems that we another one amongst us. Perhaps I should introduce myself.'
Peter had to act quickly or be questioned on why black webbing was coming from his wrist from the red head, he quickly pulled on it a little too hard causing the tray filled with food to fly towards him only for him to dodge the incoming projectile. When it passed him it landed on didn't want to end up on the school's football quarterback Duncan Matthews.
"The hell!"
'Oh boy, time to go.' Quickly getting up from his seat he grabbed his backpack he made haste as he went across the cafeteria. Duncan searched for the one who trashed his school jersey with food.
Angelica called out Peter's name but he ignored her, confusing the red head, "Peter what's…wrong…"
Students murmured at Peter as they saw a strange substance dragging the tray right behind him. Angelica was completely stupefied as what she was witnessing that she didn't notice one of her comrades come up to her.
"EEP!"
"Like let's go!" Kitty said
Duncan saw crossbones in his eyes he eyed Peter down, "You are so dead!"
Peter quickly avoided students down the hallway as he made his way to the outside not wanting to draw any more attention to himself, once outside in the court yard he sighed in relief. He found himself drawn to a tree as he was about to attempt to sit down when suddenly…
'Spider-sense!' Peter dodged left as a fist hit nothing but air
"You think your pretty funny don't you little freak!" Duncan roared
Peter stood calmed as both teenage males circled each other, a crowd quickly forms around them chanting the word 'Fight, fight, fight'.
"It was just an accident now leave!" He said
"By breaking you and your arms that the accident that going to happening here today." Duncan got into a fighting stance
Peter's eyes narrowed as he back away from the older teen, "I don't want to fight you, jockey!"
"Well too bad you got one!"
The X-men were too late to stop the confrontation when they got there, Angelica was worried to see her new acquaintance beaten.
Duncan takes two swings at Peter, but Peter ducks them and fast.
"Hold still you little creep!" Again Duncan tries his luck again, the same results happen, Duncan is puzzled by this, no one was that fast to dodge punches like that.
"You want to know something jockey football players are like prostitutes, and they are in the business of ruining their bodies for the pleasure of strangers."
Duncan saw red and a bunch of 'ooohhhh' and random comments like 'He got some backbone' was heard. Spider-sense alerted him to an attack from behind, Peter suddenly grabs the one of Duncan's cronies who tried to sneak up on him is instead hoisted up in the air by the collar of his shirt kicking and trying to break Peter iron grip.
Scott, Kurt, Angelica, and Kitty were left with their mouths wide open witnessing a not so bulky or scrawny but a swimmer built teenaged boy who probably weighed about 160- 180 pounds just lift a football jockey who was about 210 pounds up in the air like paper. Jean suddenly appeared out of thin air right next to Scott, in reality she just has study hall this period though she saw a lot of people running in a particular direction.
"Scott what's going on, why are people standing in a circle?"
Scott couldn't find words to speak as he just pointed to the middle, Jean followed his finger to where her current stunned boyfriend was in a standoff with a brown haired teenager man who had one of his friends hoisted in the air.
Telepathically, she contacted the professor about the brown haired teenager. The team didn't notice as Angelica limped her way towards
Duncan couldn't believe his eyes neither did the other students, this kid was something else, not only did he grabbed one his teammates by the collar of his shirt he did it without even turning around when he suddenly grabbed him, he swallowed dryly.
"Last chance jockey back away now or things are going to get ugly from here on out! I'm in no mood for a fight and I will protect myself if needed, now make like a tree and leave."
Snapping out of his dazed moment, Duncan had new fury, "You're not the one calling I AM!"
Dropping the boy from his clutches, he scurried away in fear there was something about him that was completely off, Peter put up his hands signaling with all his nine fingers, "Come at me bro…"
The tone of the way he said sent chills down everyone spine, everyone was thinking he had a death wish or he was brave enough to stand up to bully.
Enraged, Duncan roars and lunges at Peter. Peter ducks one, two, three, four punches, didn't even have to move his feet, he just darted his torso around so fast that he creates a blur motion. Nobody could believe their eyes not even the principle who appeared without anyone noticing her could believe it.
Peter managed to grab Duncan's wrist as he tried right hooked his face, a great deal of pain caused Matthews to groan in pain, Peter pulls back to throw a punch, when…
"STOP!"
All eyes turned to a red head who appeared to be in her sophomore year panting, "Peter if throw that punch now you will be no better from him or any other bully you faced."
Peter lowered his fist looking at Angelica's pleading eyes that said 'Please don't do this.'
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING? FINISH HIM OFF! HE DESERVES IT, HE DESERVES TO BE HUMLAITED IN FRONT ALL THESE PEOPLE MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM! SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WILL DEFY US!
'We are sending a message by being better than him, by not throwing the punch that could end his career or send him to the hospital I don't need this on my record or my conscious, Angel is right I will be no better than he is.'
'RRAGH…wait a moment did you just say Angel?' The symbiote growled
A few moments went by that felt like an eternity, the suspension was killing everyone mostly Duncan as he was about to be punched in who knows where. After a while Peter hand slacked completely letting him go after a while.
"You are not worth it." He said walking away
He stopped in front of the red hair girl, "Thanks…"
Groans were heard followed by, "What in blazes is going here!"
All the student body froze as they all turned around to see the principle giving them the glare, no student dared to answer her. She began to tap her foot impatiently, "Well? I'm waiting for an answer?"
The bell had rung signaling that the period was over, seeing that no one was going to answer her she called out the two students who would probably know what had happen even though she saw the whole thing.
"Get to class except you Mr. Matthews and Mr. Parker I want you both in my office, NOW!" She turned heading back to the building with the two students following, Angelica watched as the two boys were behind the principle. She sighed hoping to advert a crisis but instead the person she tried to get out of trouble is instead sent to the principle office.
"Good thing that you stopped that fight any further and who knows what he could have done to Duncan." Scott said, "Good kid"
Angelica turned to face Scott, "Does this mean I'm forgiven about what happened?"
Scott smirked patting her shoulder, "You look better when you smile."
Angelica was then playfully shoved by Kitty, "So what's Peter like?"
"Ja, tell us what zat guy is like since you are zee one flirting with zee guy."
Angelica could feel her face heat up as Kurt sudden playfulness caught her off guard. So she began to tell them about him best she could. The older red head smiled, 'Looks like things are looking up for you Angel.'
Oscorp Labs somewhere in Bayville
"Are we ready?" asked Osborn, now Norman was not known to be a patient man and he wasn't kidding when he said that he'll cut the funding for the wheelchair that he promised Alistair Smythe, he waited a couple of days now for Spencer to get ready the Spider-Slayer to capture Spider-Man.
The older Smythe was adding finishing touches to the robot, "Just about, I just adding finishing touches and we should be able to have this piece of work out by tomorrow tonight."
"See that you have it ready by then I want to extract the very DNA from that human spider and advance it to my research!"
"Patience Norman you will have the spider in your grasp by tonight I will make sure of it."
"See that you do I'm a very busy man." Norman left earshot of what Spencer was saying under his breath.
Bayville High School after school hours 3:57 PM
Peter was not in a good mood as he sat in the finals minutes of detention doing his homework companioned by a few other students such as the school Jockey Duncan Matthews, Lance Alvers, and finally a bad odor Todd Tolansky to make matters worse his roomy was having a fit with of not beating the daylights out of his attacker.
The teacher currently overseeing the after school detention was busy reading a newspaper while taking glances every now and then usually catching Mr. Alvers throwing paper balls at boy doing his homework.
He was lucky to have detention and not have I.S.S or O.S.S for not returning fire or that would been unbearable and not to mention how would he explain to his aunt the situation oh the shame on her face. He cringed at the thought of it, not to mention the scolding he would get from her, oh the horror.
'I still say that should have put the ass where he belongs despite consequences.' The symbiote was not pleased with Peter's behavior.
'Well since that ass was not worth beating the snot I'd I prefer to avoid a fight instead of getting into one besides Angelica is right he's not worth it.'
'Well I…paper ball…'
Peter dodged right as the paper ball thrown by Lance for the 16th time was missed again, Lance grunted in frustration.
"Dude how in the world are you doing that!"
"Mr. Alvers! I have had just about enough of your childish of throwing paper balls I've been patient with you to stop and obviously you have worn my patience's thin, I will see you tomorrow for another day." The teacher glared at him
Lance groaned banging his head on the table while his partner in crime snickered. The bell had rung signaling that detention was over.
Packing his things Peter was approached by the jockey, he ignored him as he continued to pack his things when the blonde haired senior slammed his hand hoping to catch his attention it worked however it was not the result he wanted.
"What do you want?" He was irritated by his presence
"Hmph you got spunk kid I like it, how would like to join the team and be one of the famous players know around the school?"
"No thanks I not interested in any way, shape or form besides football really isn't my thing." He thought in the back of his head 'Beside with my spider powers you guys couldn't even touch me.'
He smiled at the thought, Duncan huffed in annoyance, "Whatever nerd, but I warn you next time you won't be so lucky to have your girlfriend to help you or stop me from finishing the job." He whispered the last part through gritted teeth
"Duly noted."
A few moments later Peter found his way to the main entrance he couldn't help that he was forgetting something, something about talking with the principle, his thoughts were interrupted as a throat cleared itself to his surprise he was greeted by none other than Professor Xavier and Jean.
"Hello Mr. Parker allow me to introduce myself I am Charles Xavier I run a school for gifted youngsters, people like yourself that have gifts and abilities that other people don't."
'Déjà Vu' He thought with a smile
As Peter conversed with the professor a pair of eyes coming from the principle office was watching with malleolus intent. Raven was seething in rage as she saw Xavier conversing with the young 'mutant'.
"Not this time Charles, not this time!" She roared as she flipped over her desk, "That boy will join us not you, I will not lose this one!"
