"Mr. Osborn," Dr. Connors replied, his voice filled with remorse. "I understand the gravity of the situation, and I apologize for the incident. It was never my intention to put Peter's life in danger. The escape of the spider was an unforeseen circumstance, and I assure you, we are taking immediate measures to ensure the safety and containment of our research subjects."

Norman Osborn's expression remained stern as he crossed his arms. "This is not the first time we've had an incident in this facility, Dr. Connors," he stated firmly. "I expect better oversight and security protocols. The reputation of Oscorp is at stake, and we cannot afford any more mistakes."

Dr. Connors nodded, acknowledging the severity of the situation. "I assure you, Mr. Osborn, that I will personally oversee the improvements in our safety measures. We will do everything in our power to prevent any further incidents and ensure the well-being of our staff and visitors."

Norman's voice grew cold and detached. "Dr. Connors, the decision has been made. The project is being shut down, and the spiders will be disposed of. There is no room for sentimentality when it comes to business matters."

Dr. Connors stood there, his disbelief evident. "But Norman, these spiders hold immense potential. They were a culmination of Richard's life's work. We can't simply discard them."

Norman's expression remained unchanged. "I understand your attachment to this project, but we have to consider the risks and the consequences. The safety of Oscorp and its reputation are at stake. It's unfortunate, but it's the necessary course of action."

Dr. Connors clenched his fists, his frustration boiling over. "You're making a grave mistake, Norman. These spiders could revolutionize medical science, offer breakthroughs that could benefit countless lives. We can't let them go to waste."

Norman's tone turned colder. "I'm afraid your sentiments won't change the outcome, Dr. Connors. The decision has been made, and it's final. I suggest you inform your team in the morning. We have to focus on other projects that align with our priorities."

With that, Norman turned and walked away, leaving Dr. Connors seething with anger and disappointment. He couldn't accept the loss of such potential, the abandonment of Richard's legacy.

Peter groggily opened his eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense of energy coursing through his body. He reached for his glasses on the nightstand and put them on, expecting to see the world in sharp clarity. However, to his surprise, everything appeared blurry and distorted. Perplexed, Peter took off his glasses and noticed that his vision returned to normal.

Confused by the sudden change, he repeated the process a few times, putting on and taking off his glasses. Each time, the same pattern emerged—clear vision without the glasses, and blurry vision when wearing them. It was as if his eyes had undergone an extraordinary transformation overnight.

Peter's mind raced with questions, trying to make sense of what was happening. Could it be that his eyes had developed some sort of superhuman ability? It seemed too incredible to believe. He decided to test his newfound vision further, focusing on small details in his room and noticing an unprecedented level of clarity.

As Peter stared at his reflection in the mirror, he couldn't believe his eyes. His body had undergone a remarkable transformation overnight. He had gained noticeable muscle definition, his physique now exhibiting a slim yet athletic build. It was as if he had undergone a physical metamorphosis while he slept.

Questions flooded his mind, each one vying for answers. Was this the manifestation of a latent quirk? Had he stumbled into a parallel universe where everything about him had changed? The possibilities seemed both exhilarating and overwhelming.

Peter couldn't help but run his hand over his newfound muscles, feeling the strength and power within his own body. It was a sensation he had never experienced before, a tangible reminder of the extraordinary changes that had taken place.

As his mind raced with thoughts and theories, Peter couldn't shake off the mixture of excitement and uncertainty that coursed through him. He had so many unanswered questions, yet there was also a part of him that felt an undeniable sense of potential and purpose. Though in this deep thought, Peter was interrupted.

Peter rushed down the stairs, feeling a surge of energy coursing through his veins. His mind was buzzing with excitement as he responded to Uncle Ben's call.

"I'll be down in a second, Uncle Ben!" Peter called out, his voice filled with enthusiasm. He quickly grabbed his outfit for the day—a stylish shirt, a jacket, a pair of trousers, and his trusty bag. As he dressed, a smile stretched across his face.

May watched him with a knowing smile. "You seem really happy today, Peter," she remarked, her eyes reflecting her joy for his newfound exuberance.

Peter nodded, his excitement was evident in his voice. "I guess I am, Aunt May. It's like there's something different about today, something special." He took a bite of toast and hastily brushed his teeth, eager to get out the door and start his day.

As Peter darted out of the house and onto the street, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within him. There was an air of possibility in the air as if something extraordinary was about to unfold. He made a mental note to savour every moment, to embrace the day with open arms.

"Have a good day, Peter!" Uncle Ben called after him, his voice filled with warmth and support.

Peter turned back, a beaming smile on his face. "Thanks, Uncle Ben! I will!"

Peter's eyes widened in surprise as he spotted Wanda in his usual seat on the bus. A mixture of joy and curiosity filled his voice as he greeted her.

"Wanda!" Peter exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement. He quickly settled into the seat beside her, a barrage of questions spilling out of his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me you were back? Where have you been? And why didn't you respond to my messages?"

Wanda smiled warmly at Peter, understanding the flurry of inquiries that poured forth. "I'm sorry, Peter," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. "I had some some stuff to attend to, and I couldn't get back to you. But I'm here now, and I'm so glad to see you!"

Peter's expression softened, relief washing over him. "I'm just glad you're back," he admitted, his voice filled with sincerity. "I missed hanging out with you and talking about everything."

Wanda reached out and gently squeezed Peter's hand. "We've got so much catching up to do. Let's make up for lost time, shall we?"

Peter grinned, his excitement returning in full force. "Definitely! We'll have plenty of conversations ahead of us. It's good to have you back, Wanda."

Wanda's eyes widened with curiosity as she examined the red, puffy mark on Peter's hand. She pointed at it and asked, "What happened there?"

Peter shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, I went to Oscorp to see Dr. Connors, and a bug bit me. It was no biggie," he replied with a casual tone. "But ever since then, I've been feeling great, like I don't need my glasses anymore."

A mix of surprise and intrigue flickered across Wanda's face. She continued to study Peter intently before finally speaking. "I thought something was off about you, but I just couldn't put my finger on it," she confessed. After a brief pause, a mischievous smile spread across her lips. "Well, you must be evolving or something. Maybe that bug gave you a special ability, like enhanced vision or who knows what else!"

Peter chuckled, amused by the idea. "Hey, you never know! Stranger things have happened, right? Maybe I'm becoming a Bug Boy or something," he joked, a playful glint in his eyes.

Wanda playfully nudged him with her elbow. "Bug Boy, huh? That could be a catchy superhero name," she teased.

Peter grinned at Wanda's enthusiasm. "You're right, Wanda."

Wanda smiled back, a warm sense of camaraderie between them. "And I'll always be here to support you, Bug Boy," she said, playfully nudging him once again.

"Hey, I'm starting to think that Bug Boy is the wrong choice. Maybe I should pick a better name," Peter chuckled, considering his options. "Oh, wait, I forgot to tell you, I made some new friends while you were gone."

Wanda raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? I didn't realize you were so sociable. So, who are these people?"

Peter's face lit up as he began to share. "Well, there's Harry Osborn. We were old friends but he only went to public school this year."

Wanda nodded, her curiosity piqued. "That sounds interesting. Anyone else?"

Peter grinned. "Yes, there's also this girl named Mary Jane Watson. She has a great sense of humour."

Wanda smiled, happy to see Peter forming new connections. "It sounds like you've found a great group of friends, Peter."

Peter nodded in agreement. "Wanda. But don't worry you're still my best friend."

As the bus came to a stop, Peter and Wanda prepared to disembark, "I mean that's good to hear What would I do without you, Peter" Wanda replied.

A lot of the day passed by quickly for Peter; it felt like he was in each class for just a minute. But then came lunchtime, a much-needed break from the fast-paced school day.

Peter sat down at the lunch table with Wanda and Pietro, ready to catch up and enjoy some food. Pietro wasted no time in jumping into the conversation with his usual energy. "So, what's the gossip, Pete? Any girls missing me while I was gone?" he asked, his mouth full of food.

Peter chuckled and shook his head. "Not that I know of, Pietro. I think you're safe for now. But seriously, how do you eat so fast? I can never get used to it."

Pietro grinned, swallowing his food with lightning speed. "It's part of my charm, my friend. The world moves at a slow pace, and I'm just trying to keep up."

Wanda giggled at Pietro's response, adding, "He's always in a rush, even when there's no need for it. But that's just Pietro."

Peter smiled, appreciating the lighthearted banter. "Well, it wouldn't be the same without you, Pietro. You keep things exciting."

The laughter and joy among the friends were abruptly interrupted by a sudden and unexpected incident. Peter's pleasant moment was shattered as he felt a tingling sensation in his head as if someone was shouting at him internally. Without thinking, Peter's body instinctively moved, bending backwards and narrowly avoiding a football aimed at his head.

The cafeteria fell silent, all eyes on Peter and Flash, whose arm was covered in a strange black liquid. Flash's voice rang out, filled with anger and confusion. "Hey, Parker! What was that? How did you dodge it? You freak!"

Peter took a deep breath, trying to steady himself after the sudden movement. He looked at Flash, his mind racing with a mix of emotions. He knew he couldn't reveal the truth, the newfound abilities he had gained. But he also couldn't let Flash continue to belittle and bully him.

With a calm tone, Peter responded, "Flash, I didn't dodge it on purpose. I guess I got lucky."

Flash's face contorted with anger as he clenched his fists. "Lucky? You think you're better than me, don't you? You think you can dodge everything and act all high and mighty!"

As Flash charged at Peter, fueled by anger and aggression, the tingling sensation in Peter's head intensified, warning him of the impending danger. Reacting quickly, Peter dropped to the ground, narrowly evading Flash's attack.

Wanda's voice pierced through the chaos, urging Peter to take action. "Peter, run!"

Without hesitation, Peter sprang to his feet and bolted towards the cafeteria doors, pushing them open with a surge of adrenaline. The school's bustling hallways stretched before him as he sprinted, his heart pounding in his chest.

As Peter continued his sprint through the bustling school hallway, he suddenly found himself face to face with MJ and Harry, who had innocently appeared in his path. Startled by their sudden appearance, Peter skidded to a halt, his heart racing.

"Hey, Peter, why the rush?" MJ asked with a mischievous smile, Harry joining in with a playful giggle.

Before Peter could respond, the thundering footsteps of Flash grew louder behind him, his anger fueling his pursuit.

"PARKER, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Flash's enraged voice echoed through the hallway, his determination undeterred.

Feeling the imminent threat, Peter's instincts kicked in once again. As Flash lunged forward, attempting a punch, Peter's body instinctively reacted. The familiar tingling sensation surged through him, sharpening his senses and reflexes.

In a split second, Peter skillfully evaded Flash's attack, swiftly placing his hands on Flash's shoulders and using him as leverage. With a nimble leap, Peter effortlessly vaulted over Flash, gracefully landing a few feet away.

The unexpected manoeuvre left Flash momentarily stunned, his furious expression replaced with confusion. Meanwhile, MJ and Harry watched in awe, their eyes wide with amazement.

Peter quickly regained his composure, his mind racing to find a way to defuse the tense situation. He realized that his newfound abilities not only granted him physical agility but also the potential to influence the dynamics between him and his adversaries.

Taking a deep breath, Peter faced Flash, his voice steady but firm. "Flash, we don't have to keep fighting."

Flash, still recovering from the unexpected evasion, looked at Peter with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. The anger that had consumed him began to fade, replaced by a flicker of curiosity.

"Who do you think you are, Parker?" Flash spat, his voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability.

Flash once again lunged towards Peter with a punch, but this time, Peter's reaction was different. The tingling sensation in his head grew more intense, driving him to counter the attack. As Flash's fist approached, Peter's body moved almost of its own accord, his fist flying forward with unexpected force. The impact landed squarely on Flash's stomach, the collision sending him sprawling several feet back. Wracked with pain, Flash clutched his chest and let out a pained cry, "Ahhh, Parker, you bastard!"

Turning the corner, Wanda caught up to Peter in time to witness the scene unfold. Concern etched across her face, she hurried over to Peter, her voice laden with worry, "Oh my, what happened? Are you okay?"

Before Peter could respond, Harry's enthusiastic voice broke through, "Peter, that was awesome! You took him down with just one punch!"

"Huh, you took him down?" Wanda inquired, her eyes wide with surprise.

"YEAH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT!" Harry exclaimed with enthusiasm, his excitement evident.

While the conversation buzzed around him, Peter found himself staring down at his own hands, a mixture of disbelief and introspection flooding his thoughts. "Was this adrenaline?" "Did I accidentally push myself too far?" "Could I have injured something?" The questions swirled in his mind, a whirlwind of uncertainty and curiosity.

Unbeknownst to Peter, a teacher had quietly approached from behind, their voice cutting through his internal monologue. "MR. PARKER, MY OFFICE, NOW."

After what felt like an eternity of waiting, the office door finally swung open. "Mr Parker, come in, please," a voice resonated. Peter entered to find his principal, Mr. Morita, already seated behind his desk. "Take a seat, please," he gestured.

As Peter settled into the chair, a feeling of unease settling over him, Mr. Morita addressed him. "Now, Peter, would you explain what transpired between you and Mr. Thompson?"

Peter hesitated for a moment before recounting the incident, his voice steady but cautious. "Flash started it he threw a football at my head and he said he was going to kill me I just fought back and defended myself!"

"Peter, it's simply inconceivable that Flash, a star pupil, would engage in such behaviour. How dare you suggest such things about him!" Mr. Morita's voice resonated with anger.

While Mr. Morita scolded Peter, the office door swung open, revealing Uncle Ben. "Now hold on, I won't stand by and hear you call my nephew a liar!" Ben's voice was firm.

"Mr. Parker, please take a seat," Mr. Morita instructed Ben, attempting to regain control. "What I was initially considering was detention for both boys, just a few days at most."

"Why should Peter be punished for defending himself?" Ben questioned in a resolute tone.

This exchange between Ben and Mr. Morita continued, dragging on for what felt like an eternity to Peter. "Very well, Mr. Parker, let's resolve this by not assigning detention to either of the boys," Mr. Morita finally conceded.

"Peter let's go!" uncle ben said.

Peter followed shortly after him. When they exited the school premises, it was deserted. Peter retrieved his phone from his pocket and checked the time: 3:59. As they strolled along, he noticed that Uncle Ben was rather quiet. Sensing the need to break the silence, Peter spoke up, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ben. I didn't mean to hit him."

"We'll discuss this in the car, Peter," Ben responded, his tone calm yet firm.

Once settled in the car, Ben began to speak, his voice carrying a weight of deep conviction, "Peter, I want you to understand something that your father believed in with all his heart. He held that if you possessed the ability to make a difference, it was more than just an option; it was your duty. Your responsibility. Your father saw the potential for good that you carried within you, and he believed that you had a duty to use that power to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. I know you've heard this from me countless times, but it's a lesson that can't be emphasized enough."

Peter leaned back, absorbing Ben's words, "I'm aware, Uncle Ben. And I'm genuinely sorry for what happened," he responded, a hint of remorse in his voice.

"I believe you, Peter," Ben said reassuringly. "But remember, understanding your responsibility isn't about avoiding mistakes entirely. It's about owning up to them and making things right. You're going to stumble, but it's how you rise from those stumbles that define the kind of person you are. With great power, there must also come a great responsibility!"

"I know, Uncle Ben," Peter replied, his gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside the car.

"Good," Ben said, his tone softening. "Let's get you home now, Peter. We'll figure this out together, alright?"
