Chapter 1Opening the eyes

Queens, New York.

11:30 pm.

In a dark room where only the moonlight entered through a window, there was a young man standing in front of a mirror with his eyes closed, his eyelids trembled and his forehead wrinkled as if he were in pain, when he opened his eyes the first thing he saw . He was a tall, thin young man with brown hair and glasses.

Confused and somewhat alert, George, the man who now occupied the young man's body, did not quite understand why he looked exactly like the young actor he once saw on screen.

(Because I look like Andrew Garfield?). He thought confused.

George, who was once a military veteran, clearly remembers how he had just closed his eyes to the imminent death of pancreatic cancer, the most aggressive of all. After accepting that he was going to die, George dedicated what remained of his life to his family. . , spending time with his children, playing with his grandchildren and telling his 2 wives how much he loved them, 5 years later the cancer won the battle or so he thought.

(Could it be that I am in a simulation? If not, then what is happening? Is this the afterlife? and why am I an actor?). The more he thought the less sure he was.

(I have to be alert! The situation is strange and confusing, someone could attack at any moment, the worst thing is that I feel weaker in this skinny body than when I had cancer at 55 years old). George might be confused by the situation but he never let his guard down for a moment.

As time passed and he saw that nothing was happening, he relaxed and dedicated himself to thinking about his situation.

(Now that I have time, I can analyze these memories, Peter Parker apparently that's the name of this body, how strange, I thought his name was Andrew? Aunt May... isn't it Marisa Tomei? Gwen stacy, I'm sure it's Emma Stone, something very screwed up is happening, I'm sure I didn't remember these names, I mean I'm sure I saw a few Marvel movies at the time but it doesn't justify me remembering these faces and names as if they were my favorite actors or actresses) .

While he observed his reflection in the mirror and analyzed the memories he has in his brain, George little by little began to understand what was happening but he still needed more proof.

(I feel much smarter, like that kid Parker in the Spider-Man movies, we shouldn't rule out that I could be in a movie, but if so, why in a Marvel movie? I'm not a fan or anything like that. ).

While he accepted that he might be inside a movie, George took off his clothes to check his new body and inspect "Peter's" room.

"As I thought, he is very thin, I will have to train from scratch."

George didn't remember that the spider bite would give him powers and a super body, he wasn't even surprised to discover that his voice sounded like that of a teenager.

(I'll have to get used to acting like a teenager... for now). While he put on his clothes and finished checking the room and found nothing interesting other than a photo of Aunt May who turned out to be Marisa Tomei and clothes that were not to his liking, George carefully left the room.

(If I remember correctly, in the movie Marisa Tomei is Tom Holland's aunt, so why am I Andrew Garfield? And if I'm not mistaken Michelle Jones Watson should be Zendaya from Holland's movie, then because there is also a Kirsten Dunst named MJW, This is becoming rarer.

With more conflicting thoughts he walks silently through the house towards May Parker's room.

There is not a sound of his footsteps, he could be Peter Parker now, but his 45 years of experience in the army were not going to disappear, like a ghost arrives at May's door and opens it without making a sound, he could having "memories" but only by seeing and experiencing could he definitively know if he was dead and this was all "the other side" or if it was real and he was inside a movie and this was going to be his new life.

Upon entering the dark room, he quickly visualizes a bed with someone sleeping, he approaches and finally sees May Parker.

(Yes... it's her, it's Marisa). With acceptance he touches her cheek and feels the touch and breath of a living being.

(Alright now that that's clear, it's time to explore the area.) Taking a hooded sweater from his room, he sets out to check the house inside and out.

(This house is from Amazing Spider-man, but it doesn't match the date of 2012, since it's 2005, more strange things, I thought it was just the people, it seems the dates don't match either).

After checking the entire interior and exterior of the house for cameras, microphones, or sensors of any kind and finding nothing, George or "Peter" allowed himself to relax a little more.

(You can never be too cautious.) He thought, since only an idiot would 100% believe that what was happening wasn't someone's plot or a trap of some kind.

After securing the place, it was around 12:30 and George he went out to the neighbors' house in silence with a lock pick that he had in his room, his neighbors, the Watsons, were a complicated family or at least that's what George remembered.

Visualizing the house and no one noticing, he makes a last check to make sure there were no dogs in the yard, he decides to use the lockpick on the back door, raiding the property without any fault.

(Very well, let's check if everything is okay here, so we can sleep peacefully, at least until tomorrow when I pretend to be Peter Parker.)

After finding no cameras, microphones, or anything suspicious, plus not seeing Mary Jane's father, George confirms that Mary Jane Watson is Kirsten Dunst and leaves.

(If I remember correctly, in the Sam Raimi movies, that Kirsten girl is a pain in the ass of hers, best not to go near her... at least for now).

Returning home George sets out to think about plans from A to Z that he urgently needs to implement since he knows what kind of "world" he is in.

(I need a lot of money and a private place like a warehouse to practice "my powers" once the spider bites me, I also need to make a sturdy suit.)

George did not believe himself to be a hero and he did not plan to risk his life selflessly, but living in a world of Marvel movies, danger was everywhere and as a man who once had the military power of a country he was not going to sit back. . crossed while aliens and mutants destroyed the planet and possibly himself included.

(I guess I also have to take care of May Parker, if I remember her character and personality correctly, she is a woman who would do anything for Peter, it is not a problem to take care of her, plus I don't like the fact that Holland will let her die).

Thinking up to this point, George took the laptop and started looking for containers or warehouses that were rented or for sale, it seems that tonight he was not going to sleep.

(25,000 dollars? Hmm, it's not little money but it's not that much either, even so I don't have that amount, I guess I'll see that the warehouses are abandoned and I'll use them without anyone seeing me).

(Alright another important thing I have to look for - Tony Stark - as I suspected, is also real).

Multiple searches for the name appeared but curiously none of them said Iron Man, he also searched for other names such as Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner and Reed Richards, all this while he configured his PC so that he would not be tracked.

(Being a couple of years in military intelligence and being a nerd has its advantages, we don't want Shield to discover me too quickly or by mistake, now Iron Man still doesn't exist, Hulk exists and is wanted, Mr. Fantastic doesn't exist, which means (that Dr. Doom doesn't exist either, that's one less threat).

After hours of searches and planes it was already 3:30 am, and George knew that he had to attend school and was not waiting for him, but since one of his planes was approaching and his cover would be blown if he did not act. Like Peter. Parker and graduated, yet he continued planning how to get money quickly.

(I could hack a couple of millionaires but I would need a much better and modified PC, I'll figure that out tomorrow, how to interact with people, mmh, I guess if someone asks me I'll blame puberty, very well it's time to pretend).

---------------------

6:50 am.

"Peter honey you're awake, that's weird...oh you're making breakfast...are you making breakfast?!"

May Parker said with surprise when she saw that her nephew, who always got up a little later than usual, was awake and no less than cooking.

"Remember what happened last time! You almost burned down the house!" She exclaimed loudly when she saw that her nephew was still cooking.

"Good morning May, breakfast is almost ready, don't worry this time they will be perfect." She said "Peter" without turning around and finishing making a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, coffee, milk and orange juice.

Seeing that everything smelled delicious and nothing was burning, May relaxed and watched in surprise as her nephew who had never cooked anything well in her life now seemed to cook like an expert.

(It even smells and looks better than what I make.) May thought with surprise, as she sits and watches as "Peter" serves a simple but abundant and delicious breakfast.

"Where did you learn to cook?" she asks suspiciously.

"I take online classes." He responds simply, having thought about how he would respond since the internet is still a concept that people find difficult to understand, since it is not a completely modern world.

(In 2005, there are pros and cons). Think George, on the one hand it is easier to go unnoticed since there are not so many satellites and smartphones and on the other hand it is like going back in time, it is more difficult to get the gadgets, gadgets and other things that only technology can get you.

(Which reminds me that there probably aren't a lot of things out there yet, like social media, games, and among other things that would be good to take advantage of to build a small empire of money and influence among people).

While she was thinking these things, May saw it a little strange and also she still didn't understand these internet things very well.

"I see, well I guess it turned out, everything looks delicious." She said as she drank some coffee, George was not surprised to see her enjoying her food since there was a time when she had to live alone and learning to cook is essential.

(May Parker, 41 years old, 161 cm, 49 kg, widow, beautiful, lively, outgoing, carefree, hard-working, loves Peter as if he were her son, is not currently dating anyone, her measurements are 87,63,90.. .that's all the information I have about her... for now).

"Delicious!! But what is this! How did you do it! The texture, the flavor, the consistency is incredible, everything is perfect, it's as if you were a professional chef!"

As George ate and analyzed the woman in front of him, she had nothing but praise for her nephew.

"You're exaggerating, there are people out there who cook much better than me, plus it's no different than what you make." George wasn't being modest it's just that as a General he had the opportunity to eat top quality gourmet food on many occasions and according to Peter's memories, May cooks just as delicious.

"You flatter me darling, but this is another level, did you really learn to cook by watching the internet? They should have invented it years ago." She said, flattered that her nephew thought he cooked so well.

(Well technically they did, although as things are with this "world" I don't know if it was invented in a year other than 1969). George thought, Hulk is supposed to take place in 2008 but here he is already a fugitive.

"Tell me dear, why do you get up so early?" May asks in a good mood after having breakfast.

"I had to finish a math project." Peter answers as he gets up and starts washing the dishes.

"You can leave them dear, I'll wash them later, it's the least I can do for a 3-star breakfast." She says with a proud smile when she sees that her nephew learned to cook and was going to wash the dishes.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of time, plus you have to go to work or you'll be late."

"But what a thoughtful nephew I have, you're going to be a real don Juan with the girls, see you later darling." With a kiss on the cheek, May says goodbye to "Peter."

(She noticed something, but it's to be expected, after all I'm not Peter, I guess she didn't say anything because she's going to wait for me to tell her, after all I was also a father and grandfather understanding better than anyone how we work, or wait. or we ask directly).

Realizing that May didn't ask as many questions as I expected of her but still didn't suspect anything abnormal, George deduced that his cover was safe and that he did a good job of passing it off as teenage problems, after all Peter is 17 years old. and it is normal for their behavior to change.

(Alright time to go to school).

George thought with design, since it was the last thing he wanted to do, after all Peter Parker is so smart that not even college would present a challenge for him.

(He should stop thinking like my old self, he's going to get annoying every time I'm called Peter.) With that last thought he put on the least nerdy clothes he could find, a button up shirt, black jeans and black sneakers and went to catch the bus when he ran into someone he wanted to avoid.

"Hello Pedro".

"Hello Mary Jane."
