Hello again! Like I promised, Prologue yesterday, first chapter today! From now I'll be updating on a weekly basis, so next chapter should be up by the 11th of July! So without further a do, enjoy the first Chapter 1, where we see current day Peter!

Now

"Excuse me! Pardon me!" Peter dashed through the streets of Manhattan, he was going to be in so much trouble!

Glancing down at his watch, there were ten minutes left until curfew, and Avengers tower was still half a block away. He sprinted down the sidewalk and crossed the road at full speed. Being careful to dodge other people passing through. The last thing he needed was a lecture from the great Captain America. Oh god, he was so screwed.

He had been at his best friends house, Harry Osbourn, son of Norman Osbourn. Peter found it a bit ironic, both their dads were the head of two rival companies—Stark Industries and Oscorp—that seemed to alway be trying to best one another. Peter remembered introducing Harry to his father in second grade and watching as Tony Stark and Norman Osbourn shoot daggers at one another. He found the whole situation pretty hilarious.

Harry was like a brother to Peter, they did everything together. They sat at lunch together, they went out together, they did homework together, the missed homework together and got int trouble together. Uncle Rick described them as how he and his dad were when they were Peters age.

Peter had finally made it into the building, and he got into the elevator so fast, Usain Bolt could eat his heart out. As Peter struggled to catch his breath, he was greeted by a familiar voice.

"Good evening Master Peter, which floor can I get you too?"

Jarvis. No matter how long Peter lived in the tower, he never seemed to get used to the disembodied voice. Though Jarvis' code was made by the Tony Stark, Peter was able to hack into Jarvis at his pleasure by the time he was ten years old. He found it hilarious to watch his dad blame Thor for all the Pop tart orders.

"50th floor please, Jarvis."

"Right away, sir."

It didn't take long to reach the 50th floor. The elevator doors opened wide, revealing a common room, fit with sofa's, a TV and an open kitchen on the side. Still panting, Peter got out of the elevator, waited for the doors to close, and rested his back on the elevator door. When he had finally caught his breath, Peter stood up straight, dumped his backpack next to the elevator door, and made his way to the kitchen.

"You got to the tower at 8:05" a voice behind him informed, annoyed.

Peter spun around to a red-head with his backpack in hand and an annoyed look on her face.

Mom.

Pepper Potts-Stark stood in before Peter, trying to hold a frown, but utterly failing. It was a mother's job to worry how her child was, but she always tried to be a bit more over the top. At this point, sometimes Pepper did it just for the fun of annoying Peter, knowing full well he was in good hands when with his friends. At the thought, she grinned at Peter.

Returning the grin, Peter let out a sigh, "Mom, I'm fifteen now, and it's a Sunday, cut me some slack for five minutes!"

Pepper chuckled, "It's my job to scold you if you ten second late, young man. Now everyone's waiting for you in the penthouse and I need to make an ice cream run. Now move along before I shove you in the elevator myself."

Pepper threw Peter his bag. Making his way to the elevator, Peter suddenly remembered the permission slip in his bag. He ran back to his mom and handed it to her.

"Can you sign this? It's a permission slip for the field trip tomorrow."

"Where will you be going?" Pepper asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ummmm..." Peter hadn't thought this part through, "O-Oscorp."

Yes Peter, of course. Ask your mother, Chief Executive of Stark Industries, to sign a slip to go to her companies arch-nemesis, Oscorp Industries. Smooth.

Pepper laughed, "How about we do this, I sign this slip and don't mention it to your father, and you take this bag of soda up to the penthouse."

Peter, actually wasn't expecting that, "For real?"

"The biggest science nerd I've seen after your father and Bruce is you. Oscorp may be our competitor, but its still going to be a science experience you only get once. So get that soda up to the penthouse before I change my mind" Pepper signed the slip and handed it back to Peter.

Shoving the slip back into his backpack, Peter grabbed the bag of soda and made way to the elevator.

This week is gonna be great!

When he reached the penthouse, he was greeted very, very loudly. Half of the noise coming from Thor.

"Happy Birthday Peter!"

Peter laughed, last year they did the exact same thing, and Peter had tripped over the carpet and fell flat on his face from all the noise. Clint still wouldn't let him live that down.

Everyone was there, hell even Uncle Rick was there! All standing next to the gift table, packed with gifts just waiting to be opened

Peter's gifts were hardly ordinary, his dad giving him new sunglasses, with an 'SOS' button for if he was ever in trouble, Uncle Steve gave Peter a headlight that they scavenged from Peggy's equipment for the war that he used in one of his mission, of course, Tony had made some adjustments to it. There were a lot of other gifts from each Avenger, one being an Asgardian Sword from Thor, but the one that stood out the most was the one from non-other than Uncle Rick, which was also, the most ordinary.

It was a red and blue tool belt, able to carry all the tools and widgets Peter would need if ever to work on a project. His Uncle Rick said it would help him become a great inventor, even better than his father. To which Tony had scoffed, but Peter loved everything about it. The thought, the design, and most especially, the color scheme!

Together Peter along with all of the Avengers, Uncle Rick and soon Pepper ate, talked and laughed through the night. Well, actually, until 10:30, but that was just a small detail. When 10:30 hit, knowing full well he would have to get up early for the field trip. Peter went back to the 50th floor, ran down the hallway and jumped into bed. Excited for Oscorp tomorrow.

He was excited not only for the science, but to watch someone screw up. On every field trip, there was bound to be someone to screw up. Last year, at the Space Exhibition, Flash Thompson fell over and broke a replica of the Mars Rover. The year before that at the Botanical Garden, Harry fell into a giant fountain at the front of the building. What was next, he just had to wait and find out.

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP'

Peter smashed his alarm clock's off button, and slowly slipped out of bed. Was he excited for the field trip today? Of course! He couldn't wait, but he would always hate waking up at 7 am for school, always.

He walked down the hall, still trying to wake up, and made his way to the open kitchen. To the right, he could see his Mom and the Avengers eating their breakfast happily.

Who is even awake at this time?

He must've been asleep when Uncle Rick left yesterday, as he was nowhere to be seen, unfortunately. The cons of having school the day after your birthday.

Opening the fridge, Peter pulled out the first things he got his hands on—mango yogurt and some apple juice—and made his way over to the dining table. The coldness of both the yogurt and the apple juice finally got Peter up and running, he casually listened in on the conversation at the table. Strike Team Delta telling a story of their mission in Abidjan, Thor telling the story of when he and his brother heroically fought the Dark Elves. The usual war story session.

Regardless of the juice and yogurt, Peter soon realized that he had still managed to doze off at the table, because one moment it was 7:10, the other 7:30. Which shouldn't have been a problem, given he usually left for school at 7:40. Until he realized,

The Field Trip!

It was the school system. On the day a class were to go on a field trip, the students were to get to school ten minutes early so they could hand in their slips and get on the bus as soon as possible. He was going to be late!

Peter sped off back to his bedroom, quickly combed his hair and grabbed his backpack, making sure the slip was still inside. He ran over to the elevator, and just before he could press the button.

"You still have ten minutes, why in such a hurry Peter?"

Peter spun around to his dad, still sitting on the table with the others, an eyebrow raised. Now, it wasn't like Peter to go off anywhere without telling his dad, but this was Oscorp. If Oscorp didn't have enough money to sue Stark Industries into debt, his dad would have burned Oscorp to the ground years ago, literally.

Peter fumbled around with his words, trying to come up with something, until the beautiful woman that was his Mom spoke up, rescuing Peter.

"Didn't you say that you had to meet up with Gwen early today? To work on your Science Project?"

"Yeah! We've got, like, a lot of stuff to do. And... It's due next month so... It's best to get a head start right?!" Peter pathetically made up, did he mention his mom was the best?

"Well, then, You better get going slugger, your already late if that's the case." His dad bought it, Peter was in the clear!

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, Peter ran through the streets of Manhattan. Multiple times his dad had offered to have someone drive him to school, but Peter wasn't really into that. Sure, it was cool when Harry cruised into the school parking lot in his limo, but Peter had never really liked the idea of being chauffeured. He liked running, feeling the cement under his feet, the wind in his face as he sped through the crowd. The thrill of taking short cuts through alleyways and grassy patches. It was the most adventure he really had ever gotten, his parents never felt safe taking Peter to rough terrain and open spaces, like camping or hiking, due to his father's public figure, and the vulnerability of being out in the open. So Peter cherished each moment spent not in a car, feeling as free as a bird.

When Peter finally got to school, kids had just started lining up in front of the bus, handing in their permission slips as they got on. Peter made his way to the line, and when he got to the front, he handed in his slip, got onto the bus, and looked around for a place to sit.

"Peter! Over here!" Looking to where the voice was coming from, Peter saw Harry waving his hand at the back, sitting next to Gwen Stacy.

Grinning, Peter made his way to the back and plopped down between Gwen and Harry.

"Not that I'm saying that your dad is a chill guy and all, but I doubt he would let you go to Oscorp in a million years, Peter, no matter how much of a good friend Harry is to you" Gwen remarked, "So what was the excuse this time?"

Gwen Stacy, Peter wouldn't be wasn't surprise that Gwen had figured that much out. After Peter met Harry in the second grade, both of them met Gwen in the third grade, and they all had been best friends every since. Knowing each other like the backs of their hands. Honestly, Peter had always had a bit of a crush on Gwen, ever since they met, but he never let that get in the way of the times they shared together as a group of friends.

Peter laughed, "You and I are doing a science project that's due next month."

"Peter, if we had a science project due tomorrow, you would be at my door this evening asking me to help you start it." Harry teased.

The three chatted all the way to Oscorp, getting off, Peter marveled at the giant building, standing fifteen stories taller than Avengers Tower. The group made their way in, greeted by a two scientists—Dr. Conners and Dr. Adder—who would give them a tour of each of the facilities.

Oscorp had been studying the regenerative factor of lizards, and how they had the ability to regrow limbs that were cut off. Peter felt pity for Dr. Connors, knowing full well how the scientist missing half an arm must envy the lizard. Oscorp had been experimenting on electric eels, researching in hopes of finding a cheaper and easier way of producing electricity for New York and sooner, the world. Peter, was fascinated by each exhibit they crossed.

At the end of the day, right before eating lunch and hopping back on the bus, they were met with one final exhibit. Dr. Connors explained the beauty and complexity of a spider, how the small arachnid must live his life smaller to the whole world, yet making such a big difference.

Oscorp was researching ways to modify the spider, exposing 15 Labyrinth Orbweaver spiders to radiation, to see how it would affect their general abilities, and if it had any effect on the spiders webbing.

Peter noticed Gwen getting closer and closer to the exhibit, squinting her eyes now and then, trying to get a better look at the spiders, as if she was looking for something.

"Gwen?" Peter asked, "What's the matter?"

"They said they experimented on 15 spiders, but I can only see 14." She replied, a hint of concern in her voice.

She didn't say it, but Peter automatically knew what she was thinking, it's wasn't like Oscorp to count the wrong amount of spiders, and all the spiders were out in the open, nothing able to hide them from sight.

One of them escaped.

Peter stepped back towards Harry, Gwen still peering in at the spiders, they exchanged notes on each of the exhibits, until Peter felt a sharp pain in his left index finger, which had been casually resting on the wall.

"Ouch!" Peter exclaimed, shaking his left hand about, blowing on his finger.

"Peter! What's wrong?" Harry ran up to his distressed friend.

"I dunno, I think something bit..." Peter trailed off, he spotted something in the corner of his eye, that made his blood run cold. In the corner of his eye, he saw,

The missing spider.

"I'll be right back, I'll ask one of the teachers for a bandage" He told Harry, then proceeded to follow where the spider had scurried off to.

Turning the corner, Peter looked around, up and down, left and right, trying to catch some glimpse of the runaway spider, but to no avail. It's was almost as if the spider vanished into thin air.

Throughout the rest of the day, Peter couldn't help feel afraid. Sure, the spider wasn't poisonous, but if so, why did it bite Peter in the first place. He couldn't stop thinking about it during lunch and on the bus ride home.

They got back to school by 6 pm, and Peter couldn't help but feel really, really tired. Explaining to his friends he had to go, Peter made his way back to Avengers Tower, slower than he usually would. Entering the common floor, Peter explained that he had gone after school to work with Gwen on his 'project' and forgot to call.

"I think I'm gonna go hit the sack," Peter said, drearily.

Bruce, being the 'doctor' of the house, looked over to Peter, confused, "It's 6:30 Peter, are you feeling sick? What's wrong?"

Being completely honest, Peter had no clue, but he lazily replied, "I didn't get much sleep last night, a good nights sleep and I'll be jumping like a gazelle by tomorrow."

With that Peter shuffled to his room, plopped onto his bed and slipped into a dreamless sleep within seconds.

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP'

Peter smashed the alarm clock's off button, and slowly slipped out of bed.

Except this time, something was wrong.

A/N: DUNDUNDUUUuuun! Can you guess what happened? I'm sure you can!

Also, I chose Gwen Stacy! Mostly because I felt she fit better with Peter is TASM than MJ did with Peter in the first Spiderman, which could just be because Peter in the first Spiderman was a bit more awkward and shy, but this is my personal opinion. As you may tell, the actual spider bite scene itself is inspired by the first Spiderman movie, like I said in the first chapter, expect scenes and certain character traits from all of the Spiders of the movie-verse!

EowynPevensie90: Thank you so much! I'll try to pour my heart into his fanfic, I can't wait to write more!

SpideyJJJ: I'm glad you like it! There are a lot of Superfamily fics, which I find absolutely adorable! But There are a LOT of them out there, and I wanted to play around with the thought of Pepper as a maternal figure, so I'm gonna try and make sure that she has some main scenes, and isn't just in the background.
