Confrontations
*During lunch*
"Peter?" A familiar voice calls his name out. When Peter looks over to see who it was, his initial thoughts were, "Oh hell, me and my Parker luck..." Peter, Felicia, and Mary Jane all turn to see two other students now standing by their table.
"Gwen. Harry." Peter greets his two former friends as calm as he could, who appears to have confused expressions on their faces.
"Yo Pete since when you start standing up to Flash?" Harry is the first to speak between the two. When his father Normal Osborn died, Peter hadn't seen or heard from him since the funeral, and honestly, he wasn't complaining due to the fact him not talking to Harry meant not hearing about how bad Spider-man is.
"Since I grew a backbone over the summer. Had a lot of time to reflect considering certain events that occur as of late." Peter replies in a sarcastic tone that makes Harry wince.
"I guess," Harry mutters in a low tone knowing full well what Peter was referring to.
Sensing that tension was building, Gwen walks up to Peter and asks softly, "Peter, could we talk in private?"
Peter glares at the person who had caused him pain before summer break. "What's there to talk about Gwen?" It was at that moment Felicia realizes that these were the so called friends that Peter had told her about during the summer break and suddenly wanted to claw the blonde eye's out.
Despite his response, Gwen attempts to get Peter to talk to her because they need to. "Peter please?" She pleads.
Peter rolled his eyes in frustration. "Fine." They both walk over to a corner with Felicia keeping her eyes straight on them while Harry just stands by with M.J giving him a cross look.
"So what's up, you still having fun with Harry while leaving me in the dust?" Peter folds his arms not really in the mood to talk to Gwen.
Gwen couldn't believe that Peter was acting this way though she couldn't blame him for being upset at her. "You know it's not like that Peter. Harry's father had just died; I couldn't just leave him like that it would have broken his heart if I just left him for you."
Peter rubs his forehead from hearing Gwen's excuse. "We had an agreement Gwen, hell I broke up with Liz so we could finally be together like planned yet you chose Harry. I could understand wanting to be there for him, but at some point, you could have made the call to end things which you didn't so tell me, Gwen, what was I supposed to think when Liz hates my guts, and you still with Harry and didn't bother reaching out to me all summer?"
"I'm sorry.." Gwen tries to apologize and explain her reasoning however Peter cuts her off before she can finish.
"No, you not sorry. It's all good though because thanks to your decision over the summer I reconnected with someone who knew what she wanted and helps me get me through a very rough time in my life. So enjoy your life with Harry for at this moment I have nothing to say to you or him especially with his constant rant about Spider-man." After saying what he had to say Peter walks back to the table leaving Gwen.
Harry noticed the hurt look on his girlfriend face and steps in front of Peter to get answers. "What did you say to her?"
"None of your business Harry and if you know what best for you, you will get out of my way and check in on your girlfriend unless you want me to make an example out of you like I did Flash," Peter warns Harry surprising Mary Jane and even Felicia.
Not wanting to take a chance on this new Peter, Harry moves out of Peter's way and goes over to Gwen with Mary Jane whispering to Felicia, "I will give you two some privacy, it was nice meeting you again."
Felicia nods as Mary Jane left Felicia she can check in on her man. Felicia was both proud and concern of Peter, on the one hand, she had help Peter get his confidence up during the summer break and taught him how not to be a pushover without risking his secret being revealed. While at the same time, the way he had handled Harry somewhat surprise her for Peter acted more aggressive than assertive like.
"I assume that you gave Gwen a piece of your mind?" Felicia wraps her arms around his waist, where she could feel his anger going down, comforting him.
"Yeah you can say that, and I wasn't really expecting it to go the way it like I knew I still was upset about what how they did me, however, I didn't expect myself to blow Gwen and Harry off like that," Peter explains to her honestly as he turns to face her. "What's done is done, and I have to get to my next class."
Felicia still couldn't help worrying about Peter's new attitude and want to talk to him about it though now wouldn't be the best time.
Peter still notices the sad look on her face and does his best to cheer his girlfriend up. "Hey don't worry there are no lingering feelings, for I have someone better," Peter assures her, amusing that what was bother Felicia, before lifting her chin up and giving her a soft kiss on her lips.
Felicia returns the kiss enjoying how soft Peter's lips felt on hers. "Glad to hear it. Enjoy the rest of your first day back." She tells him with a huge smile on her face from the kiss.
"I will be thinking of you the whole time." Peter winks at her playfully earning him a push from Felicia.
"Go now before I decide to keep you away from your other classes." Felicia purrs watching Peter head inside the building reminding herself that she will need to keep an eye on Peter's attitude going forward and hopes that it was just a one-time thing.
A few hours later, the first day of school came to a close as Peter met up with Felicia outside the school ground to receive a tight hug from her. "I missed you."
Peter chuckles as he hugs her back. "I missed you too baby but didn't we see each other at lunch?"
"Well we kept getting interrupted and you know I can't get enough of my spectacular Peter Parker," Felicia whispers the last part to his ear causing Peter to bit his lips.
"I love when you say that," Peter admits quietly to her.
"My spectacular Peter Parker?" She playfully whispers again knowing how it drives him crazy.
"Yes, mami." Peter couldn't take it as he leans towards Felicia's face and starts kissing her lips until they quickly hear someone cough in the background.
"Oh get a room you two." Mary Jane jokes making Peter blush a little and Felicia to laugh at his expression.
"Oops my bad M.J. Despite what happens at lunch I will say my first day back of senior year started off strong," Peter said since he didn't have to deal with any more drama the rest of the day.
"I would believe so, considering your actions has gotten the school talking." Mary Jane points out from what she has heard around the school.
"I assume that the reactions are negative ones?" Peter questions with Felicia coming right behind him saying, "Which they better not be."
"It's mostly a lot of people just shocked that you are standing up for yourself and that you punk out Flash. I should warn you that Flash and Liz are not going to take what happened lightly." Mary Jane explains out of concern. Peter is a great guy, and she doesn't want to see him deal with more crap than he already had to deal with.
"If that chick tries anything funny she will be dealing with me," Felicia growls over the idea of that cheerleader hurting her boyfriend.
"Felicia the last thing I want is for you to get into trouble for fighting a one-sided battle. I can handle them don't worry." Peter tells her while rubbing the side of her arm before turning back to M.J. "What about Gwen and Harry?"
Mary Jane signs before answering him. "I talked to Gwen when Harry wasn't around, and she's still hurt from earlier and Harry is upset because of course, Gwen is not in the best mood."
"Great now I have to deal with Harry as well. It's official; Peter Parker has his own set of enemies to deal with outside the mask." Peter thinks to his self. "What was I not supposed to be straight up about how I felt?"
"It's not that, trust me I'm glad you said how released what was inside you. It just sucks because I somewhat pushed Gwen to pursue you.."
"Excuse me?" Felicia quickly said not liking what she was hearing from her supposed new friend.
"This was before you came around. Anyway, she was telling me how much she wanted Peter but was so afraid to make the moves, leading to her and Harry to be together. However, the way you and she danced around each other while seeing other people I felt that maybe I could help you guys out. I didn't expect her to still be with Harry at the end and honestly, I do think Harry took advantage of the fact that his father died to keep Gwen from you." After confessing her side to the story, she lowers her head out of guilt before feeling Peter's hand on her shoulder.
"M.J it's not your fault on why Gwen and I are not together. Again Gwen made her decision and honestly it was for the best because I'm happy with Felicia so no feeling guilty if anything you the one remaining friend that I have in this school." Peter smiles appreciating the type of person that M.J is.
It took all that M.J had not to get super emotional with Peter as she said. "Thank you, Peter, that means a lot to me." She was about to go for a hug, but she stops herself as she remembers Felicia being right there and didn't want to offend her.
Felicia shakes her realizing what M.J wanted to do. "Go ahead, just don't make it too friendly redhead." With that said M.J and Peter share a warm hug that didn't make Felicia jealous. She already had concerns about the red head when she first met her and was stun that she and Peter never dated when it's clear that she has an attraction to him whatever Mary Jane fully knows that or not. Now that he only has her as a friend, it wouldn't be fair to make Peter not be around her, leading to an important decision that Felicia is now going.
"You know what I might keep you," Felicia says out loud confusing both Peter and M.J.
"Huh?" They two said at the same time.
"As my boyfriend said, you are the only friend he has left and I know I can't babysit Peter all the time so I'm going to do something that I normally wouldn't do when I am dating someone, I going to trust you to watch out for him," Felicia announces confidently.
No words could come out of Peter's mouth he just heard, and Mary Jane was just as shock as he was but felt honor that Felicia was giving her blessing to still be in Peter's life.
"But the second you abuse that trust by trying something I will be coming after you too got it?" Felicia questions showing M.J that she still means business.
Seeing the return of this side of Felicia gets Mary Jane to lighten up a bit as she tries to start a connection with her. "Crystal clear snow-white. By the way, how do you get your hair to look that good?"
"That's a secret that involves mall and shopping for me to tell," Felicia smirks as she flips her hair.
"I have nothing plan and no homework due yet." Mary Janes hints with a wink.
"Then it settles. Come on Peter the mall awaits." Felicia declares snapping Peter out of his trance. "Say what!?"
Before he was able to rebuttal, both Felicia and Mary Jane went into action. "Baby I will make it up to you later if you go?" Felicia pout getting close to him with Mary Jane following up doing the same, "You wouldn't want your only best friend sad would you?"
It was at this moment that Peter has no chance of winning against two beautiful women overpowering him. "...fine." The ladies cheer for their victory as they begin walking to the mall having their girl talk while Peter drags behind thinking it was going to be a long day.
*Later that evening*
"I still can't believe I went shopping with you two." Peter groans on the phone talking to Felicia.
"I know right it was so much fun!"
Peter rolls his eyes in amusement of how carefree Felicia can be at times. "It was fun for you because you and M.J bonded, while I got stuck carrying the bags."
"You are a gentleman after all, and you could call it work out to help with your upper strength."
"That's so not my kind of work out."
"I could give you my workout that involves me doing squats on you."
Peter gets super quiet from that suggestion and hearing her purring through the phone for his thoughts begin to expand on that idea.
"Cat got your tongue, Peter?"
Before he could attempt to make a comeback, Peter turns towards the window and just happens to see somewhat of a water tower in the city. "Okay that is way too ironic due to how I'm feeling right now, Felicia is you seeing a stream of water from your place?"
"Yes I do, and that can only mean one thing."
"That it's time for the Spider and Cat to take on a super baddie?" Peter answers getting his web shooters out.
"I was going to say for you to debut that new suit we been working on but that too."
"I guess it's no time like the present to show New York the new and improve Spider-man costume. See you soon." Peter said looking at the new design of his brand new suit that Felicia suggested he makes so they could seem like a real superhero couple. After getting their costumes on, Peter and Felicia make it the bank to take on their first super bad guy since becoming a couple.
"Once I grab this vault of money I will be rich and finally prove to Sadie that I am the man of her dreams!" the villain claim to his self-using his water ability to pull the vault out of the wall.
"Seems like you are going to need that money to pay off a massive water bill." Spider-man slowly steps out of the shadows with his new black and white suit.
"Too bad you won't be able to pay it because you will be too busy lock up." Black cat struts out of the shadow after Spider-man and places her arm on his shoulder confidently.
"Ah, Spider-man and his new female... wait you look different from what I have seen in the media." The Aqua villain notices that Spider-man is no longer sporting the red and blue.
"That's because you are looking at the new and improve Spider-man suit that comes with more annoying humor for bad guys like you," Spider-man tells him proudly.
"Not to mention I love it when he wears black to match me, like relationship goals and he looks hot." Black cat chimes in rubbing her man's chest until Spidey gently stops her.
"Seriously cat not in front of the man who can apparently have the ability to make water come out of him, speaking of which how are you doing that you aren't related to Sandman are you?"
Hydro-man smirks before answering him. "Nope, the names Hydro-Man but me and Sandy sure have something in common."
"What that you both have elemental powers?" Spider-man quips.
"That and we both don't like you!" Hydro-man yells before shooting a water blast at heroes beginning the fight. After dodging the attack both Spidey and Black cat throw punches and kicks at, but none of them seem to affect him as it looks like they were going through his body.
The duo jumps back to recover as Hydro-man laughs at their attempts to take him down. "Haha, I must admit I am not impressed with this so call new and improve version of you. Then again spiders, cats, and water don't mix, so it was already clear who wins this round."
"We not finish with you with yet!" Black Cat blindly charges at him.
"Cat no!" Spider-man calls out though it's too late. Hydro-man turns his fist into a large water version and slams her to the wall holding her there.
"Looks like your cat is not used to being all wash-up." Hydro-man taunts causing a hidden anger to rise out of Spider-man seeing Black cat in a helpless position.
"No one hurts her!" Spider-man roars shooting multiple web shots at Hydro men's face and start fighting him with his brute strength instead of relying on his speed. The Aqua villain didn't need to see behind the hero's mask that Spider-man is legit piss at him.
"If it weren't for my powers, this would adversely hurt, and as much as I would to want to see this going I'm afraid I have another water ride to catch!" Hydro-man releases Black cat and uses his extended hand to slam Spider-man away from him and proceeds to kick him hard enough to send him flying through the wall.
With both heroes down, Hydro-man grabs the vault and exits the room. "Maybe next time super losers haha!"
*Elsewhere that evening*
"With Tombstone gone, this is my perfect chance to become the new crime lord of New York city." The villain known as Hammerhead said as he enters Tombstone's office preparing to claim it for his self thus launching his campaign as the new crime lord of New York. Suddenly Hammerhead hears someone appears behind and pulls out his gun.
"What the? Who the hell are you?" Hammerhead demands, aiming his gun at the person.
"Ah, Hammerhead, the man with the huge forehead, who thinks he runs the place. Here to try to and take Mr. Tombstone's office I see?"
"Try? I am the new Tombstone. For now on I am going to run this city, and for the first order of business I demand you get the hell out of my office now of a bullet is going through your skull!" Hammerhead orders not appreciating the person's slick comment about his forehead.
"Oh, my how rude of me, I was aware that this office was under new management by someone else. Would you like for me to show you who?"
"If it means I throw both of you out of here, then sure go right ahead." Hammerhead heads towards the direction the mysterious person was pointing towards an empty room.
"Fool there's no one... AHHHHH." Hammerhead screams until a sinister change stirs up in him as the mysterious person transforms into another being.
"Who do you serve?"
"I.. I serve you, master," Hammerhead answers obediently.
"That's precisely the response I will soon receive once I officially take over the pathetic city. I will be better than Tombstone ever was with my army that hopefully will join my cause without me forcing them to." The mysterious being turned on the t.v in the office to see Spider-man and some partner of his being defeated by a man who can summon water.
"Sorry Spider-man, but it looks like you have another way to deal with it and trust me it will get deadly."
TBC
AU: Peter is now rocking his version of the black suit, which is pretty much the Future foundation suit but more black than white. I figure this would be better than using the symbiote suit because, at this point of the show, Eddie still has the suit and the way the show was written it doesn't make sense for this version of Peter to wear it.
Okay, I will admit even with me being against Peter dating Mary Jane, in general, I secretly only prefer this show's version of the two to be together. However, since the story is Peter/Felicia (NO THIS WILL NOT BE ONE OF THOSE STORIES WHERE PETER DATES BOTH WOMEN) I decided to make M.J have a primary supporting role so expect some interactions from her with Felicia and Peter.
Also, you have the intro to the main villain of this story as of right now towards the end. I didn't want to reveal him just yet, but I think some of you may have an idea who it is. Before anyone jumps on me, the reason Hydro-man beat our heroes so easily is that this would be the first time he was introduced on the show so neither Peter or Felicia would be adequately prepared to defeat him on the first try.
Sorry for the huge long wait but a lot has been going on in my life involving work and getting ready for graduation in my current program. Thank you all the new favs, follows, and reviewers.
