Chapter 19:

I studied the blood a bit longer, noting a few more properties it had, like how any form of food I introduced, like glucose or carbohydrate, was consumed within seconds. It was almost like the damn thing was alive.

After my little experiments with Hulk's blood I went out once more, this time to the hangar in the abandoned train yard. I jumped over the fence and walked towards the hangar. But when I got there I noticed the doors had already been opened.

I groaned, whenever I left this place I made sure to close the doors, who else was here? I pushed the hangar doors wide open and walked inside. "Hello? Is anyone here?" I asked.

"What the heck?" a voice came from inside the hangar. Stepping out from behind the stack of iron beams was Flash and Liz, followed by Harry and MJ, all looking surprised to see Peter there.

"Parker?!" Flash growled, "what the hell are you doing here?"

I raised an eyebrow, "painting the ceiling, and you guys?"

"Hey Pete!" Harry called out with a smile, acting like we were old buddies, which sadly we were, but not anymore. Guess he brought them here, I remember him and Peter finding this place together back in the day, "I was just showing these guys this amazing place! I didn't know you still come here!"

I shuddered, "from time to time," I looked to the side and saw MJ blushing red, I narrowed my eyes. I looked at Liz and spotted her looking frustrated at me. I could see her hair was a mess and Flash looked pissed as well.

Suddenly realisation dawned on me, "ah, so you guys came here to make out, I see."

Liz's face turned red, "what?! No! Get your head out of the gutter Parker!"

I shrugged, "says the girl who looks like she just got thrown into a washing machine," I then made eye contact with MJ and she blushed even harder, "well, I suppose congratulations are in order, I'll leave you guys alone. Lock up when you're done."

I turned to leave when suddenly MJ spoke up, "ah wait Peter," she looked nervously at Harry, "I think I better go as well. My aunt would be getting worried."

Harry looked hurt, "what? Are you serious? But we just got here."

"Yeah I'm sorry, I'll see you in school Harry, bye Liz, bye Flash," and with that she practically ran out of the hangar.

I groaned as I followed her outside. We walked to the fence where I helped her climb over it. When were walking away I finally asked, "so...you and Harry huh?"

MJ's eyes widened, "what? No!"

I rolled my eyes, "you don't need to lie Mary Jane, I don't personally care who you are with, it's your business, not mine."

MJ looked away as we walked back to our home. I honestly didn't want to go, but MJ looked kind of shaken up, I couldn't help wonder if something happened between her and Harry.

"He...he thought I wanted to make out," MJ spoke up finally.

I raised an eyebrow, "oh? And why did he think that?"

MJ shook her head, "I don't know."

"Mary Jane...did he try and force something?" I asked.

"What no! He didn't do anything! It's just," she looked ashamed, "I guess I must have seem interested. I...it's my fault really, I'll apologize to him tomorrow."

I looked at her, so beaten and hurt. Nothing like the amazing girl I meet the first week I was Peter Parker, none of the life or joy. I was honestly horrible to watch.

"Don't apologize," I spoke up gaining her attention. She looked up curiously and I explained, "he hurt you, tried to push the boundaries, don't apologize to him. Make him say he's sorry. Harry is...he was a friend, or something like that. Now he's just a jerk, he likes getting his way, don't let him push you around."

MJ looked surprised but nodded silently all the same. We walked back to her house, she looked deep in thought. When it was time to go our own ways she finally spoke, "Peter...thanks, for coming when you did, I...I know I haven't really been the best friend but-"

"-Enough," I snapped, getting pissed at the pathetic apology she felt she had to give, "it's fine, just get home safe. Remember, don't let him walk over you."

"Peter I'm trying apologize. I know I haven't really been spending much time with you in school and I feel bad. I'm sorry."

I shrugged, "it's fine, I don't mind," I walked away.

MJ blinked, "Peter?"

"Night Mary Jane," I wished her well before going inside my room and slamming the door behind me. I wonder if I was being hostile, heck I didn't even call her MJ. But it hurt, it fucking hurt and...fucking teenage hormones.

The two weeks went by quickly for me, too quickly. I had training, the few times I snuck into the train yard for an impromptu workout, learning as much as I could and then making the Spider-man costume.

Colleen really began to push me the second week onwards. She realised I could probably become one of her most gifted students. She had me moved to the second hour classes and always pushed me to learn more and fight harder. I never used my full strength, but I was beginning to see why the Hand trusted her to teach possible future recruits.

School was dull, whenever I had a lesson I found pointless or if it was something I already knew I took out a book to learn something else. I was passable in French now, I could probably hold up a conversation, so now I decided to pick up Spanish.
