Author's Note: Hello and welcome to my all-new story of MCU Spider-Man, in the past I had written The Spectacular Spider-Man but I came across a lot of inaccuracies in my writing, so here it is the revamped version of it, also there will be multiple POV characters, I am dedicating for now to Peter, but there will be here and there POV sections of MJ, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, and Ned Leeds, so watch out for a shift of POVs, as for pairing, I am not sure yet, since I had grown to like Peter/Michelle pairing, but I am a classic Spider-Man fan, and my one true pair will always be Peter/Mary Jane, so I will leave Peter single at a moment, maybe dating here and there, just to let his mind away from a certain redhead, and his first love, with that said, there is no pairing, with that said, here is my first ever chapter of The Spectacular Spider-Man
The Spectacular Spider-Man
Chapter 1
A couple weeks later
Chelsea Apartment
"Blackbeard 01 to Blackbeard 1-0, we got a live scoop of a possible unidentifiable alien-weapon being smuggled" The police radio said
"Copy that Blackbeard 1-0, signing out" The voice of an older man said.
Sighing in defeat, he stood up, staring at the cold starry night of Manhattan buildings
The mug which he took when he last saw MJ, is still chilling on the right side of the window.
It had been a week, since the pain, the sorrow, and the worst of all, the spell which Doctor Strange had worked
"This is my cue" Peter said in a low whisper
He opens the wardrobe, and smiles to see a home-made costume, not the shabby one he tried when he first got his powers, no, it is because of the inspiration which he saw on Peter-1 and Peter-2's costumes'
He may not have access on Stark tech anymore, since no one knows who he is, but it felt fresh and grounded for him to be on his own
He grabbed the suit, and took off his civilian clothes, just to don the freshly sewn suit
He opens the window, and leaps for a cheerful scream in glory
He made some acrobatic movements, jumping from one building to another
And then that's where he shot his first web, letting the sensation coming back, even better than before.
He followed the stream of police sirens were heading
Luckily he patches the radio on his ear-piece of his mask, and the same-hoarse sounded man bleeps
"Suspect is in Midtown, we need backup!" The man shouts
Peter smirks, time for the city to know the Spectacular Spider-Man!
He found the two cars they were chasing, and they weren't kidding, the thugs were stashing the Chitauri weapons, the same ones that he had stopped many years ago by couple goons, interesting indeed
He shot a web on the lamppost, and created a big slingshot that made the the car screech and stop
Peter jumps, to make a superhero entrance and introduces himself
"Fellas, please, let's not make this night anything more interesting than seeing you failing" Peter quips
"SPIDER-MAN!" The thick New York-accent man said
"As I live and breathe, at your service" Peter did a mock bow
"Come on Alexei, use this cruddy weapon, this should stop the menace" The thick New York-accent man said
Before the tall, grunt man to respond, Peter already shot a web on the tall man's hand, blocking his attempt
"I wouldn't touch that if I were you" Peter said
The man surrenders in a defeat, saying blabs a bit
"Look, I would love to chit chat and all, but the police is already here, so do me a favor, say that it was a courtesy from your The Spectacular Spider-Man" Peter said in a sing song tone
He knows the thug would make a run, so he shot a web, making a rope over the brute
Smiling in victory, he jumps on top of the roof, watching the police capturing the two men, and the Chitauri weapons being confiscated
'Great, nothing but a repetitive day' Peter sighs
He got a beep from his phone, and it was a message from Ned?
'Hey man, look, there is a goodbye party on this Friday, you know for the Midtown, also there will be other students from different schools, so dress nicely' Ned said
Peter sighs in defeat, the spell is still working, He and Ned are not in speaking terms, and it was clear from how MJ does not even give him texts.
He sends back a reply
'Sure, cannot wait to be suiting as Chancellor Palpatine' Peter sends and stashes his phone on his suit pocket, and stood up to head back to his home, and call it a night.
Coming Friday
Midtown School for Science and Technology
Coming back to this building gave him even more sour note for Peter
A couple months ago, the flock of students were slightly giving nuisance to Peter, but now, with people who were students in this school, attending this 'goodbye party' which Ned had cryptically referred
It made him grouchy than ever, but he had to do it, he had to drop the past
The thing is, he still cannot get over his aunt's death, and the powerful word she gave it to him, it still lingers in his mind to this day.
'You have a gift, with great power, there must also comes great responsibility'
Giving a big exhale, it will sting that he will be having his first Christmas, alone, so he has to live to it.
"Watch it PARKER!" the raspy voice of Flash said,
If it weren't for his spider-powers, Peter would've ducked it, it was the football which Flash intentionally threw it over him.
Peter rubbed his head in annoyance, 'thank goodness I don't have to deal with him' Peter mouths
The obnoxious man came close to mock him, but what he did, completely threw him off
"Are you ok? I mean, I heard that your aunt passed away. Look I know I had been a hell to you for the past few years, but we grow up, What I want to say is, you are not half bad, Parker" Flash said, giving a handshake
Peter's eyes widen in disbelief, he would never ever dream that a melancholic drama queen rich boy like Flash would do such a thing, 'talk nice to him'
As selfless as he is, he took the handshake, but of course, Flash doing his 'flash things'
"If you bleep of me being nice, I wouldn't be so nice to you next time" Flash said
Peter made a mock 'my lips are sealed' joke
He watches the jock, well scrawny to be a jock, but still, leaving to do whatever he tends to do
Not even a minute, he heard the familiar voice of Ned Leeds, doing the 'Palpatine impression'
He turned to see his classmate, talking to him for the first time
"Nice to see you in one-piece" Ned said
Peter skipped a heart-beat, he thought that Ned would never remember
"Right after Flash threw a football in your head" Ned cleared the confusion
"Oh, oh yeah, I didn't spare to care about it" Peter did a lame smile
"So.. How are you, I mean, sorry about your aunt Peter" Ned did a sincere gratitude
Before Strange's spell, Ned and MJ came to give him a hug, and revealing their plan of bringing Peter-1 and Peter-2
Now, it gave a bittersweet moment towards their friendship, at one hand, they are being safe, but on the other hand, Peter mentally kicked his mind that he did not come to find them and explain as he promised
Staring at his once-best-friend for one more time, he doesn't have a choice but to give in a lame response
"I am ok Ned, Thanks for asking, I found a place to live, and I will start university in Manhattan, Empire State University" Peter said
"Oh, I thought you would definitely ace by going to MIT" Ned said
'Yeahhhh, about that, since I am not included with Stark internship anymore, you can kiss that MIT goodbye' Peter thought, but lets a chuckle instead
"Look at you two, just kiss already" The unmistakeable voice of MJ said in her usual sardonic tone
They turned to see her, wearing absolutely stunning, the red and black dress with strapless, and a cute flower on her breastplate.
As much as MJ and Ned's memories were wiped clean, they still form a classmate bond, something Peter never took for granted, So they made a group hug, not thereafter, Betty joins in too.
The party was interesting indeed, Peter laughs uncontrollably to see Ned failing by dancing with Betty, and he turns to see Flash embarrassing himself also.
Peter did join for a few minutes of dancing with a shy girl, but then he took it as a time to rest on the chair.
He checked his phone for any broadcasting messages from police, not noticing a figure, more of like a person coming to sit right next to him
"Already bored from dancing?" The person said
Peter made a mindless nodding, but he turns to see the person, well a female, staring at him, smiling
Peter must have felt his mouth drop in disbelief, beauty is indescribable to explain to her, her dress is very ostentatious, with dark green dress, and her hair is braided like the French ladies had done in 1700s, but what caught his attention is her eyes, emerald green, that matches her dress colour, and her hair colour, dark red hair that makes him want to grab it
She giggles of his stupor, and lets out her hand to introduce herself
"I can see you are drooling tiger, names Mary Jane Watson" Mary Jane said
Peter snapped out of his delirium, he embarrasses himself, but still took her hand to shake
"P...Peter" Peter stutters
She giggles again, cursing of how he is acting
"You should see yourself, all oogling over, but not noticing that your drink has spilled all over your pants" Mary Jane points the punch that spilled over his pants
Peter stood up, alarmed that the punch made a nasty stain on his pants, he will sure be mocked by now
She stood up, and brought her handkerchief to wipe it, giggling, the stain has disappeared, but leaving a faint line.
Peter appreciates it, and kept telling her that he will return the favour
"Don't mention it, but you still did not answer my question, I saw you on the corner, dancing with Carlie Cooper" Mary Jane said
"You know her?" Peter's eyes widen in disbelief
"You damn right I know her, she and I are best friends, I am sure you have a best friend of your own" Mary Jane said
"Then how come I did not see you in school" Peter's eyes narrow in disbelief
"If you pay attention, we were being invited, I brought Carlie Cooper with me, as she was too shy to even talk about it" Mary Jane laughs
"Aha, what school did you go to?" Peter asks, disregarding her laughs
"Forest Hills High School" Mary Jane answers
"Oh, I almost went there, but after my uncle and aunt moved to other side of Queens, that's where I ended up here" Peter answers.
Her smile is infectious, he wanted to know more of her, but his hopes were shattered by hearing someone calling her name, the boy came close, and he is wearing a very expensive suit, screaming money, oh his look is straight-faced, with curly brown hair
"I thought I lost you, you are difficult to find Red, and who is this chap?" The sound of an aristocrat man asking
"Harry, this is Peter, Peter, this is Harry Osborn" Mary Jane laughs
Peter returns the handshake, but his eyes widen, 'no', 'that name'
"Ah, Peter Parker, I had heard a lot from you" Harry smiles
Peter panics a bit, he thought Strange wiped his secret identity slate
"Remember Flash Thompson? well he was my businessman ally, and he had mentioned you, what I presume 'Penis Parker'" Harry said by doing his charming smile
Peter would've flushed, but didn't want to let it too obvious for his newfound friends
"And I see you had met the always Miss-wonderful-personality Mary Jane Watson" Harry smirks
"Oh, you two are dating?" Peter made a connecting dots
He sees the girl nodding, and Harry doing his one-shrug
"Well, I wouldn't want to interrupt you, but I need to drag her to dance with me" Harry said in a calm manner
"Oh no no, I don't mind, I am already tired anyway" Peter lets his hand up in defeat
He watches the tall boy laugh in disbelief, and then he spoke
"I like you already, and you are not half-bad as Flash says, look, here is my Instagram page, we should link up" Harry said, giving his phone, an expensive iPhone
Peter took the account name, and follows him, Not before long, he got dragged by Harry, and Harry whispers
"A word to advice, you can remove the stain with this" Harry said, giving him a sleek black ink, Peter took it, and made a small nod
He sighs in defeat, another golden opportunity gone. The issue is, he still cannot move on with MJ, and now his thoughts has changed over the ridiculously beautiful Mary Jane Watson, maybe this might be way too fast, but judging from his infamous Parker luck, oh he christens it. It is not that far-fetched for him to assess it
Sighing in defeat, the party was already great, but this, with everyone dancing with their loved ones, except him, alone, it engulfs him, so he stood up, and left the gymnasium
Whenever he feels lonely, he goes on top of the school building, and think, so he did what he expects himself to do.
He saw her, standing there, staring at the sky, it made his heart-leap in joy, but still in agony
"Oh, didn't notice you there" MJ said
"May I?" Peter asks permission
"We are both adults, and graduated in this school, so why the hell not" MJ said in her usual tone.
Peter complies, sitting right next to her, in the past, they would be snogging (A term she loves, whenever they talk about Harry Potter) right now.
Now, with this close proximity, it wouldn't be far-fetched if she does catch feelings to him
"You know something Peter" MJ began
"Hmm?" Peter hums
"I just feel the universe has mysteries, I mean I do believe we are not alone" MJ said
'That's because you had seen two counterparts of mine' Peter thought
"But then again, I don't believe in fates, horoscopes in general" MJ continues
"With that, I think this might be our last time we would see each other, so I have something to tell you" MJ said
Peter's heart leap very quick, hoping she would at least remember him
"Ever since I had met you, I kept on getting rid this strange feelings toward you" MJ began
"But there is something missing, like there was something that happens between us, I just cannot get it right, you know it made my feelings even more confusing about you" MJ said
Peter kept on nodding, hoping she would say 'I remember'
"But now, with me already in MIT, and you in ESU, I just cannot let it misshapen me Peter, I mean I had a huge crush on you, I was wondering when you would pull the plug and asked me" MJ said
"What?" That's all Peter had managed to ask
"Can't you see you dufus, I was and still in love with you, but there is something, like a mental wall that prevents me to seek you" MJ reveals
'Wait, is that what she meant?' Peter thought
"But then again, we will never see each other for years, so I might as well say screw fate" MJ said
She took his face, and gave in a blissful kiss where he gave it in
It went for few minutes, and then they stared at each other
"This isn't a start Peter, this is the end, I hope you understand that" MJ said
The way she said that, Peter curses himself, for not coming there, to tell her, for being slightly selfish, his feelings to MJ is raw, real, and affectionate, even more than his sudden feelings to the stunning redhead that slowly creeps in his thoughts. The unspeakable love between him and MJ is evident, and he got selfish, a bit, but he had to do it, he couldn't risk another multiverse issue, so as much as it pains him to this day, he has to live with it
"It doesn't mean we are not friends, we can still write to each other, tease each other, with that I already spoke with Ned to add you in our Alumni group chat.
Peter did nothing but nodding, giving it for a few seconds of the blissful comfort, All he wants is seconds of undying love which he will never obtain, and that was enough.
The Raft
Adrian Toomes is a man of many things, but subtlety, it isn't his style
Just a day ago, he got two new cellmates, some Russian thug named Alexei, and a wise guy bozo named Flint Marko
They didn't want to bother his Bible-study, so they left him alone, just what he likes it
It was lunch hour, and Adrian, grumpily, stood up to grab a light snack, with intention to come back for his normal bible reading
He sat on the table, eating alone, until he was stopped by two low lives
"So it is true that you fought against Spider-Man" Alexei said
Adrian ignored their brute remark, but continues to eat peacefully, until the other man threw the lunch tray on his face, leaving a scene over him
The prisoners saw the commotion and laughter erupts for them
Adrian glares at the smirking thugs, and with a swift blow, he punched the man who threw the table hard, and kicked Alexei on the man's pelvis area
He even began punching the man's face with deadly jabs where the guards stopped the eventual fight, and dragged him away to the solitary
"You will be spending there for a while Toomes" The Police officer said
"That's fine by me" Adrian calmly said
"I beg to differ, I am here to inform you that the boss wants to speak to you" The officer said
Adrian widens his eyes for this commotion
"So that's why he sent these two to test you" The officer said
"You did all this commotion, so you want me to be here, in this solitary" Adrian replies sarcastically
"You are a hard man to convince Adrian, the boss has a general liking to you" The officer said
"Well who is he anyway" Adrian scoffs
"All is in due time, so sleep well" The officer cryptically replies
'Heh, typical corporate bullshit' Adrian breathes
When he gets out of here, he will first check onto Liz, and then he will have his another rundown with Peter, smiling ferally for this, Adrian wants some steam to cook, and he will do it sooner than ever.
And that's a wrap, I added extra POV, Adrian Toomes, because I came to like Michael Keaton's role as the Vulture, give me your feedback, and see you on next chapter.
