The next day Peter was walking to school thinking about his after school plans for the next day; Peter found Eddie coming up to him as he was walking shouting out "dude... People are speaking of how you punched out Flash Thompson yesterday... I can hardly believe it but is this the new you without the glasses?"

Peter had forgotten all about that somehow and shrugged his head and looked side eyed at Eddie since he remembered that he almost got them into big trouble 2 nights ago; "Just a reflex thing... Pure luck..." Peter said thinking of an excuse quickly as Eddie was now walking side by side with him.

"Well don't go thinking that you can take on people like the football players again as we are below their level... Everyone has a thing they are meant to do and you are meant to go on working as a labcoat type and I am meant to go on and be world famous with several Pulitzers." Eddie said as Peter then gave a raised eyebrow at him.

"That's how you see your future compared to mine? Your news blog barely has any readers and you keep failing to join the school paper..." Peter retorted as Eddie waved it off.

"It's just going slow; I just have to wait until I find my story to break." Eddie said dismissively as they heard a police siren as there was a pursuit of a speeding vehicle. "You see that... We don't get involved with stuff like that... Don't be a hero like that old song goes... Let that be someone else's problem... A guy pulls a gun on you and you just give the money and wallet over and file a police report... Don't try and be something you're not..." Eddie told Peter as he frowned.

"But what if you could do something... Not be a bystander?" Peter asked thinking that if a guy did pull a gun on him he could probably punch him out with how strong he seems to be now.

Eddie just laughed and patted him on the back saying "Don't let what happened yesterday get to your head bro..."

They then got to the gate outside Midtown. There were students pointing to Peter and whispering making him nervous.

"Dude... That's the kid who knocked out Flash..."

"Gave him a bloody nose..."

"Dude..."

"Can't be him... Have you seen him in gym class?"

"Parker..." yelled a voice as Peter felt the weird sense in his head and then he turned around to find Flash angry and his cronies chasing after him. "You embarrassed me yesterday and then some idiot filmed me being yelled at by the Mayor... My dad took away the keys to his car and chewed me out for an hour... You are so gonna pay..." Flash yelled holding back a fist as it was then caught. Flash went to look at whoever it was but jumped as they all saw that it was Jameson.

"Mr Thompson. Your display yesterday was rotten and embarrassing. I will only go easy on you as long as you all promise to leave Parker alone on school premises and during hours. I mean it; one word of an incident and whoever was involved gets a month of detention and their spot in the football team taken from them. Some educators may think that football trophies are so important that it's worth being lenient on star players but I am not one of them and guess who is in charge? Am I clear?" Jameson asked as they looked terrified at him and then nodded. "Sorry... I want to hear from all of you loud and clear... Yes Principal Jameson sir!" Jameson then ordered sternly and they did so and ran away giving side eyes to Peter as Jameson came up to him.

"Mr Parker... I know that you are not exactly on people's radar in them and are dismissive on you and if anyone here tries to give you trouble... Well most in my position would be to tell you to leave them alone, not acknowledge them, tell a guardian or teacher or some other crud but I am not them... Here is what I want you to do next time someone gives you trouble for no fault on your own... You don't take it; you stand up straight and show the strength of a New Yorker... Make it clear that you are not a whipping boy and mock them for thinking that you are a punching bag or someone to be dismissed..." Jameson told him in a whisper as the other students began going in through the door as Peter was perplexed.

"Your advice for being bullied is to bully back?" Peter asked as Jameson shook his head.

"Parker... You can't bully back as bullying is punching down on a weaker target just because you are a coward who wants a target that won't fight back. You should punch up and strive t be David against Goliath...Show the man you are inside... You find any part of them stupid and ridiculous then show them and how words can hurt... Now don't go Revenge of the Nerds as while revenge in that horribly aged movie was warranted; the actual revenge was awful and all around illegal. Don't be a pushover." Jameson then told Peter as the Osborn limo arrived in the parking lot. "Get ready to show Osborn around Parker." Jameson told Peter tapping him on the shoulder.

"Thanks Principal Jameson and aren't you worried about how you are advocating for this in public?" Peter asked as Jameson snickered.

"The board put me in the principal's office and if I don't play by the playbook then they should have thought of that before." Jameson retorted before walking off.

Mary Jane got up to Peter and asked "I saw what happened yesterday... How are you?" Mary Jane looked concerned and Peter did his best to brush it off.

"I am alright... I think Flash got off worse... He wanted me to try and set you both up and... I heard that he made a fool of himself in front of your dad..." Peter replied as Mary Jane then gave a nod.

"Yeah... Was kind of amusing to see what looked like an almighty jock ready to kiss the Mayor's shoes in under a minute as he went to face him... People get intimidated by him a lot... He doesn't like nonsense..." Mary Jane told him shaking her head as Peter gave a frown as they got into the the doors to the school.

Techtronics East and there were guards alert in all of the halls as Octavius was shaking his head at while looking over hte programs hooked to a technological harness that he was creating. "Two spies got in and we have been unable to track them down... What are we paying our security for... All that investigating and all they could find was a dead spider..." Octavius ranted scornfully as Connors looked at him after putting his eyes away from peering at a study of the dead spider.

"We don't know if they were spies; just as likely that they were some vandals or some misguided children sneaking in. Plus we would have better luck seeing if they can be tracked down if someone didn't insist on the security cameras being down for these tests as well as insisting that we don't file a report with the police." Connor said judgementally as Octavius shook his head and glared at his direction as if judging him for not being as smart as him.

"We can't have any evidence of what we are up to get out as they wouldn't understand... Legality of it aside; we are improving the human body here... As well as creating new technology to supplement the new human body... New appendages for multi tasking... When we have this prototype working; it shall be beyond what the Smythes are patting themselves on the backs for... We are working on what Oscorp can only dream off..." Octavius retorted in an air of superiority to him as Connors sighed.

The end of the day Peter was going through the front doors as Mary Jane came up to him; "So Peter... You want to hang out at some point? I can fit you the bill for whatever you want to do?" Mary Jane asked as Peter was taken aback but shook his head at her as he looked apologetic.

"Sorry... Maybe another time as I have plans..." Peter said as Mary Jane then waved goodbye to him and Peter went to the gates while Eddie ran up to him in bewilderment.

"Dude... You somehow got an in with the beautiful new girl whose rich and you blow her offer of being invited to spend the afternoon with her?" Eddie asked incredulously as Peter shook his head.

"Sorry but I got something I really want to do..." Peter said as he then ran off and made his way to the main streets of Manhattan and found an alleyway to hide in. Making sure no one was watching he opened up his backpack.

There he stored his wrist devices thinking that they could help him out since what they were shooting out were webs like a spider; he then put on the new costume he put together. A blue top, a red hooded jumper over it that he sewed a black Spider on and cut the sleeves off, red gloves he cut the top finger areas on, blue bottoms and red boots. Putting his normal clothes into the backpack; he hid it behind the dumpster as he then made his way to the end of it and put a box down in front of him.

"Come one, come all to see... The Amazing... The Spectacular Spider-Man!" Peter shouted giving a dramatic pose as he then did a stand with one hand as people were staring at him before walking off.

"Can you believe this guy..."

"What's with the get up?"

"He is a rejected masked wrestler?"

Peter frowned that he wasn't really grabbing an audience; he then thought quickly and then saw the two building walls on either side of the alleyway. He then aimed his arms up high and fired up the webs as they then quickly connected to the walls as he hoisted himself up and did a circle like spin and then made a dramatic pose as this started getting people's attention as they stopped to watch.

Peter grinned as this might work out for him after all...

Using the MCU homemade suit as its still my fave of the movie suits as the most realistic Spidey suit in film that a young Peter would be able to put together; before that in the Amazing Spider-Man film I strangely digged what the tie in games called the 'vigilante suit' despite how barebones it is and less like a Spider-Man suit. Plus Jameson's pep talk was inspired by one of my fave side missions in Spider-Man 2 which was a flashback mission and let's face it... Jameson at a teacher would not be conventional in the slightest and would advocate hitting back at bullies.
