Peter was trapped like a spider being crushed under a boot he was being crushed by the collapsing building just feet in front of him was a terrified young girl no older than four.
I need to get her out, but he can't move!
He wasn't going to do this, but he remembered what Uncle Ben said, "If you have the power to help do With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility".
He lifted with everything he had and right before he gave up the buildings collapsed floors started moving up above his head, his vision was blurring, but he kept going once he was able to jump out of the way he leapt grabbing the girl, flying through a window turning on his back landing with a grunt.
He tried get up groaning he couldn't all his limbs were screaming his head was pounding and his vision was going blurry a cop running up to him.
Stay where you are vigilante!
The voice was muffled as Peter passed out.
He opened his eyes slowly a concrete ceiling above him.
He sighed, he was in a jail cell not surprising he did do hero stuff without a license.
They kept him there the rest of the day giving him a warning not to do it again.
It was weird no one asked him where his family was, but it made it easier to stay in a somewhat not depressed mood.
He stopped at a convenience store and some food and chemicals.
Once he got to his current residents he ate and started mixing the chemicals to make web fluid not as strong if he got some actual ingredients, but it'll work for the current time.
Just like every night Peter had nightmares that kept him awake all night.
He found a school to go to he never wanted to find a new school, but he knew he had to.
He spent the rest of his money on a school uniform from a thrift store, it was a little too big, but it'll work.
He had been working on his aim with the web shooters now he was extremely accurate with them.
He put on a red rag he found in the garbage, he did put it through a washing machine at one of those quarter washing places.
He looked down at the ground fifty feet below where he stood on the edge of a roof.
Taking a deep breath, he jumped, everything was in slow motion around him as he felt himself get closer to the ground...
He shot a web to a building it stuck as the line tightened, and he swung, screaming in both terror and excitement.
After a couple minutes the terror was gone replaced by complete joy, with a swing he was launched higher landing on a roof top.
That was fucking awesome!
Peter yelled to no one but himself a wide grin on his face.
Peter decided not to push his luck and walked back to his home.
That night it wasn't the nightmares keeping peter up it was salvaging anything he could he found his backpack of course his notebook but it was already pretty full of equations science formulas possible designs a pencil that was more than halfway used and a... practically falling apart folder.
Peter sighed tomorrow was going to be rough, might as well try to get what little sleep, he occasionally gets.
Peter didn't sleep like most nights so might as well just start towards school.
He left two hours before school even started so he spent most of the time there making sure he wouldn't get lost by learning the area as well as possible.
Peter made a mental note to spend a Sunday learning the area and reading the language.
Once he got to the school, he felt a couple eyes on him but other than that most the other kids were too busy with their school lives, something Peter was grateful for.
He got to his first classroom and sat in an empty chair in the back of the class trying to ovoid talking to much when the teacher told him to introduce himself to the class, he gave a little wave and said hello in Japanese.
The teacher gave him some of the harder questions, but Peter answered them almost immediately it was stuff he could do in 6th grade.
He was ready to take advantage of the Chemistry lab when no one was there to properly finish his web fluid.
They did a hands on experiment for Chemistry class and Peter was on the zone... until Japanese and History both of which never once interested him much beyond reading a couple articles.
P.E. was a breeze and Social Studies was a little boring in between these lunch started Peter didn't eat because there was nothing to eat, he had to wait to get some money from the News Paper.
Once school was over Peter packed up his bag and slung it onto his shoulders, when he was web slinging and Peter was aware of everything around him it never stopped, he always knew what was happening in a room.
Peter was now almost home when he felt the tingle again, he quickly put the rag on and saw a car speeding down the road he used the webs to pull people that could get hurt out of the way he webbed himself to the road and shot two strands onto the car and pulled the car stopped with a jolt and he pulled until he heard a loud pop letting him know the engine blew.
He opened the door and found a man with horns and giant claws in the seat a couple of wallets and purses in the passenger seat he pulled the crook out and webed him to the street light above.
Wait until the cops arrive Peter said putting all the wallets and purses together in a ball of web.
He ran into an alley just as the police arrived, taking back ways home he crawled through a window and onto the floor sighing heavily he took off his backpack setting it on the kitchen table and laying on his makeshift bed yawning.
He was on some kind of planet not earth there was star shaped buildings everywhere some floating some in pieces on the ground Peter was on the ground bleeding pieces of a red and gold suit around and some still on him in the distance he saw another person in red and gold but this one had a short of armor on a glowing blue light on his chest, he yelled something and a man stood beside peter holding some short of gold glove with glowing rocks in it, the man made movements with his arms and a portal opened orange sparks coming from it.
He pulled Peter and the glove through it, and it disappeared.
Peter woke up sitting up quickly an alarm going off he always set one but was usually awake before it went off.
He... slept despite the nightmares it had been Months since he got a full night of sleep!
He went through most the same stuff as the day before besides any crime.
