Chapter 102

I quickly donned my costume and was out the door once more. I swung to the Baxter building, and walked in, "Sue? Johnny? Ben? Anyone?"

"Peter?" Sue's voice came from inside her lab, "in here."

I quickly walked in and looked around, the place was a mess since last I saw it, so many post it notes on the wall, the screens were filled with calculations and practically every monitor in the

building was in here mapping out genome sequences.

"Where's Ben and Johnny?" I asked walking in.

"In bed, they had a long day," she replied looking at the monitors.

"And you? No sleep?"

"Oh you know how it is, find a mystery you can't solve and suddenly you have all the energy in the world. Why are you back so soon Peter?" Sue asked.

"I think I found something that can help," I told her placing the rock on the only empty surface in the lab.

Sue looked at rock and the blood, "whose is it?"

"The Hulk's," I told her.

Sue blinked, "how did you get it?"

"I told you, the Hulk's battle with Abomination was the first time I ever suited up. I went back and got this as a sort of soil engineer, I was curious to see how it worked. I found out that this blood, even though it's been out of its host's body for so long, can still absorbed glucose and carbs into itself. Sound familiar?"

Sue's eyes went wide, "it's similar to your blood?"

"I don't know, didn't have a powerful enough microscope to see into the genetic material," I told her, "but maybe we should try?"

Sue nodded, "help me?"

"With pleasure," I took off my mask and kept it aside. We quickly began to work with the blood, scraping it off the rock, revitalising it with a number of chemicals to make it alive again. On my recommendation we also added sugar water into ti, allowing the cells to absorb them and become active.

Sue then put the new sample of blood under a microscope and put the blood work on display. We started it and Sue's jaw was dropped, "woah."

"You can say that again," I replied.

"It's a 70% match," she whispered.

"But how?" I asked, "I'm basically a Spider and he's...well, the fucking Hulk!"

"Your genes themselves are completely different, true, but the way they behave, it's nearly identical," Sue began to study them closely.

"The Hulk's blood and mine work the same way?"

"Not really, but yeah," Sue pulled up the Hulk's DNA, "his genome is much more open for study, unlike yours," she mumbled that last part out, "you can see how his blood has mutated. He's….he's more powerful than one would think. He cells absorbed radiation, allowing him to adapt and super charge his cells to peak performance."

"So what? He's like souped up battery?"

"In a sense yes," Sue nodded, "and your blood did the same, absorbing the radiation, but using it to cut and paste genetic changes. It's like they were brothers, but..different."

I groaned, "Bruce Banner...what was he trying to do in that experiment?"

Sue blinked, "he was...ah, I believe he was trying to recreate the super solider serum they used on Captain Steve Rogers."

I blinked, "so could the same be said about me?"

Sue blinked, "what do you mean?"

I stepped up to her monitor and quickly typed in Peter's father's name. Several case files opened up. Sue looked at them quickly, "master and doctorate in genetic engineering from Harvard. Graduated at 17, employed by….unknown? Married Mary Fitzpatrick and had a son named….Peter, this is your father?"

I nodded, "yeah, he died a year after I was born, I think. I never really got a straight answer from my aunt and uncle. But he was a researcher, and a damn good one. I think."

"From what I'm seeing I think you're right," Sue said looking through the files, "he did his doctorate on...the super solider serum and its potential radioactive origins?! Oh my God!"

"So he did do it," I hissed out.

"Peter, do you know what this means?!" Sue asked.

I nodded, "yeah, my dad is the reason I have my powers, his experimentations...they allowed me to adapt and evolve."

"Oh Peter, I'm so sorry," Sue wrapped her arms around me in a hug, I smelt watermelon coming from her, sadness..

I hugged her back, I honestly didn't feel to bad about it, but I suppose any normal kid would be sad or angry their father did something like this too them. But me? I didn't really care, he wasn't my dad was he?

"It's fine Sue," I told her breaking the hug and turning to the minister, "I just….where did he work?"

"What do you mean?" Sue asked me.

"He worked for someone, someone with money and funding for his research, so where? Where did my dad come up with this thing he injected me with?"

Sue quickly went to terminal and began working at it. But every time we thought we were getting somewhere it was just another dead end. Dead end after dead end.

Sue stepped away and sighed, "sorry Pete, but this is way above anything we have dealt with before."

I hummed, someone obsessed with getting their hands on the Super Solider serum? Sound's like HYDRA, maybe Richard Parker was tricked into working with them? Like the scientist I found last night? Maybe, there was a very high chance that was possible, and when Richard found out and refused to continue his work HYDRA had him and his wife killed.

I sighed, "this is fucked up man," I rubbed my temples.

"I'm sorry Peter," Sue sighed.

"It's fine, it's not your fault," I replied sitting down, "but….now what the hell do I do?"

Sue sighed as she sat down next to me, "I suppose you keep doing what you do. Save lives, being the hero."

I sighed, "yeah...Sue, please don't...please don't tell anyone what we found today. Not SHIELD not Reed, no one. I'm not anyone. I….I don't want people to know."
