6 Peter wants his car

I answered the call and suppressing my pain I said" Hey." However Martha on the other side was furious as she said" What Hey?! Why didn't you answer the phone! Are you hurt?!" I smiled and replied" Sorry mom, I was busy and couldn't. But why would I be hurt?"

I was feigning ignorance but I couldn't say I was the one fighting the giant, right? I could hear my mother sobbing as she said" You don't know how worried we were when you didn't answer the phone! As for the danger, didn't you watch the news?"

I replied" I didn't, what happened?" This time dad took the phone and I heard him say" Martha, I will speak to him. Son, we just saw on the news that two monsters were fighting on the 9th avenue…" I interrupted and said" Monsters? Haha you should stop drinking old man!"

Steven sighed and replied" This city is really getting weirder by the day, when I say monsters I mean it. Those were two green and grey giant a little shorter than 3 meters, and they were destroying buildings like they were made with biscuits. And on the news we saw that a bus was stuck next to them, and in there were some of your classmates."

I hummed" Then you thought I was there too because I was busy this night… Was there a lot of casualties?" Steven replied in the negative" No, fortunately the Night Walker arrived and fought the monster.

He saved everyone on the scene, including Peter and Mary Jane. You should have seen him, he was really epic. Even against such foes he did not back down and fought until he almost couldn't move anymore. He could still escape the scene though."

I smiled at my father's words, proud, and said" Then I will assure you, I wasn't there fortunately. I almost was, they were certainly returning from Harry's party, but I didn't go because I had something to do. I will be home in an hour at most."

Steven agreed and stopped the call. I sighed and touched my ribs again. Those were grave injuries for normal people, I am sure I even have a perforated lung seeing that I have some difficulty breathing, but those injuries should only take a week to heal up.

That is another advantage of my powers. After resting for ten minutes and recuperating some strength as that fight took a lot from me, I headed to my lab. Once there I undressed myself shirtless to see my injuries.

I quickly searched and found a hemostastic spray and put some on my sides and back. Using it did not really heal me or accelerate the process of it, but helped me moving more freely, as well as breathing better.

After doing this I put on a shirt and a sweater and closed the lab, transforming it into a hanger again. I took the bus to get home after that. It was almost 8pm when I came back home. Once my parents heard the door mom rushed from the kitchen to hug me, and fortunately I coated my ribs with haki or she would have aggravated my injuries.

As she let me go I stopped my haki and said smiling" You should go help dad out in the kitchen, I will go to my room. Call me when it's ready." I got up in my room and threw my bag in a corner and went on my bed.

Once on it I took my phone and called back Peter. Basically he narrated the events to me with great fervor and even said that Night Walker was now his idol, and that he would try to take pictures of him. That was another passion of Peter, he liked to study but taking pictures was another hobby.

The next day I woke up before my parents because as I feared the spray's effect had dissipated and it was hard to move again. I left a note saying I would be out for some sport, and headed to my lab. Once there I worked on a new device that would help my healing.

I already had an enhanced regeneration speed and capacity and it would improve in the future but it isn't enough yet. If I do nothing then I will have to wait for a week before getting back at full strength.

Thus I worked on a device that would help with my recovery. In the end I was happy to be able to finish the project Monday in the evening. This device is an immobile thing that will accelerate the rate at which my cells recreate and provide me with a lot of nutriments.

But that wasn't it's only function, it can also provide me energy and lengthen the time I am able to spend without sleeping. I stayed in it for the rest of the day and once I got out I felt that my injuries had already healed by a large margin.

But the next day as we were eating with Peter he told me" Bro, I think I will buy myself a car, since Flash brought one girls are all over him, and it is the same for Harry. I bet if you weren't ignoring others people you would be the same."

I smiled and replied" Go on then, but I warn you it is not like that you will get led. Also, I saw recently you were looking less than usual at MJ." Peter smiled and said" Yeah, I will just let it go. I mean she's great as a friend but I don't think we are made for each other."

I raised an eyebrow and said" Is that the only reason?" Peter smiled awkwardly and replied" Also Harry told me he was in love with her, and that he would confess to her during the festival held by his father's company.

I saw in his eyes that he really loved her, and I would be blind if I didn't see how she looks at him. I may have loved her, I did since few years ago, I am getting tired of it and only see her as a friend now."

I put an arm over his shoulder and said" That is courageous of you Peter, I am sure you will find your special someone someday." Peter pushed my arm with a smile and mischievously asked" We are only talking of me, but you are o better. When do you intend present us someone?"

I rolled my eyes and said" Stop that, you are exactly like my mother… And I don't have the time for that." Peter snorted " What you don't have the time, what takes so much time?" I smiled weakly and replied" Maybe you will know why in the future…"

Peter looked at me weirdly but did not comment, curious about my answer. Once out of the class I spent the rest of the day in my healing device, and was finally completely healed around 6pm. I quickly dressed up and started strolling around the city.

I had seen that the newspaper and even the TV were having titles like" Will Night Walker return after his injuries?" or other titles like that, and I saw that many people were defending me and thinking that I wouldn't be down just with this.

And they are right. During that night the Night Walker made a reappearance, and it shook the city. The next day, Wednesday, everyone at school were talking about my awesomeness as a hero. Noticeably the ones I saved from death, Flash had came to school with a shirt bearing the face on the back of my face with a NW next to it.

I was astonished that people had already created clothes and other products at my effigy. I was flattered but it still felt weird. But the most surprising thing that happened this day is not that. It is by far what happened in the middle of a class.

I was in Physics class, the only class I am with my three friends at the same time, and today we were doing group activities and had to make an experiment on the electromagnetic force. I had in my group my three friends, and it went without saying that we would get the best mark.

But as we were preparing it, someone entered the class. That person was Norman Osborn, and he was looking straight at me. Not at his son or Peter next to me, no, he was looking at me. He whispered something to our teacher who after a few seconds told me" Mr Tunt, Mr Osborn would like to have a chat with you."

I nodded and turned to my friends and said" I will be back in a second. Put the aluminum ball between the two balls, and turn the lever. If you turn it hard enough the electromagnetic field will enter a state of rage and produce electrical arcs. Do it and we will get the top mark."

They nodded and I followed Norman out of the room. Once outside I shook his hand with a smile and asked" What may I do for you Mr Osborn?" Norman waved him available hand and replied" Don't be so formal, call me Norman."

I nodded and replied" Okay Norman." His smile widened and instead of answering my question he asked me" Aren't those childish things boring you to no end?" I laughed and replied" You have no idea."

His smile now threatened to tear his face as he continued" I heard from Harry that you were a genius in science and that you were searching for a job. Would you be interested in coming to Oscorp?" I had seen it coming, why would he want to talk to me otherwise?

But before I could answer him he added" You would go into the field you are the best in, and if you show yourself capable enough then you will be handed a laboratory for your use only, but you have to understand that if you disappoint then you will not be able to stay. I believe you heard about the rumors of our funding disappearing."

I nodded and said" It would be an honor to work at Oscorp, but I have one condition. You have to allow me to call you Sir from now on, otherwise others will think I entered the backdoor and thus have no ability."

Norman laughed and showed me his hand and said" I hope our cooperation will bear it's fruits in the future Mason. I believe we will achieve great things together." I shook his hand excited. I then returned to the class and continued my experiment after he told me that I was to show up on Monday.

I told the others what happened and I could see a look of jealousy on Harry's face. I sighed and thought I should go talk to him later. But today I have more important things to do. Tonight an event will be held.

People would get to fight against a professional fighter and whoever beats him gets 10 thousand dollars and if someone can hold on until three minutes then he would win 3000 dollars. Peter would take part in it to buy his car, and it is the night Ben would get killed.

I intends to save Ben as I don't want Peter to live through this, and neither I do I want to see him die. To resolve this I could just take Peter there instead of Ben, but I had other plans. If Peter became Spider Man it is because of Ben's death.

If I just replace Ben and nothing happens then Peter would never get the meaning behind Ben's words. I thus have created a simple plan for making Peter understand that his actions bears consequences and that him having powers isn't just a gift, but also a responsibility.
