And in those 2 whole months, a lot of things happened.
Peter got his powers, which means the Spider-man villains are starting to show themselves. Sadly, Uncle Ben still died, I tried saving him but someone makes sure that the plot will go as intended, and I hate whoever might that person be. (I'm changing the dates of some important things and moving forward or backward the timing of the story)
==FLASHBACK==
"Hey! You guys going to the homecoming?" I asked Peter and Ned who are sitting with me at the cafeteria table.
Ned answered fast and enthusiastically, "Of course I will. I will invite Beth to the dance, I don't know if she'll accept but I will still go."
We looked at Peter's face, he looks like a bit uneasy or something.
"What about you Pete?" I asked him, jolting him out of his daze.
He looked at us and replied, "Well, it's still a few months before the dance so I guess I'll still think about it"
I was about to speak when a douche suddenly interrupted us.
"What's up penis parker?!" Then I heard something that was thrown.
I looked back and saw a basketball swishing our way, obviously thrown with great force. I was about to use Garen and block it when.
*PAK*
I saw Peter holding the ball in a single hand, his body halfway turned. I was surprised, not because that he did what he just do, but because that it was still too early for him to get his powers.
Based on the movie, he got his powers one to two weeks after the Ultron debacle.
'Of course, there's got to be changes' I think to myself as I saw the look on the face of the students around us.
Flash was surprised about what happened.
"I guess you forgot something Flash," I said.
I was about to walk when a hand obstructed my way, I looked at where the arms are connected and saw Peter looking at Flash with a serious look on his face.
And Peter said, "I think so too Flash, I think you forgot your ball" then he throws the ball and hits Flash in the middle of his torso and flew away like a team rocket. Of course, that's an exaggeration, he just fell and skidded across on the floor of the hallway and I think he passed out.
"Daaaaaamn!" Some of the male students exclaimed in awe of what my friend just did.
"OhMyGosh Peter! You're awesome!" Shouted Ned behind us.
'It's too early, and I need to make a contingency now for Uncle Ben'
I said in my head.
Yes, Uncle Ben dying gave Peter the resolve to fight for justice and for what is right. But I can't just let the old man die even if that is my friend's character development. I've known that man since I've known and hanged out with Peter, and knowing that he'll die, it's on me if he died without me doing anything to save him.
=Time Skip in the Flashback=
It's been a few weeks now that the Peter-Flash debacle.
And I'm here at some roof waiting for what's going to happen. I followed Peter wearing his homemade Spider-man pajamas walking into the fighting competition(I know this doesn't happen in Toby Peter, but I just want to add this)
Now I'm waiting for what is about to happen.
After a few minutes of waiting, I saw a man running from the establishment that Peter entered. The man ran through the streets and threaten Uncle Ben with his knife.
"Eve, immobilize that man holding the knife," I said to the shadowy figure beside me and vanished right after.
I saw the shadow of the man wriggle like a viscous liquid and the man abruptly stopped.
I released a breath of relief after the man was immobilized. But as I was about to turn around, I caught a glimpse of a glint of light that is traveling fast to Uncle Ben.
"Shit! Eve! Intercept whatever is that thing that is coming your way!" I ordered.
But to my and Evelynn's horror, the glinting object just passed through the shadow barrier that she put up and collided with the criminal and released him from being bound.
The criminal, out of his binding, stabbed Uncle Ben just like in the movie.
I was shocked, sad, and furious. I immediately assimilated Eve's power and traveled through the shadows to go to the place where the glint came from.
When I reached the place, there's nothing there but a note written on a sheet of parchment.
"Don't mess with the timeline."
"Ancient One?" I said almost instantly.
The only person that I know who knows about the 'timeline' is The Ancient One. If that old lady intervenes, then Uncle Ben dying is a fixed point and should not be changed.
"Goddamnit!" I shout out of frustration. I'm dejected that a good person has to die just for another one to be born.
"Don't mess with the timeline? Let's see if you can stop me"
==FLASHBACK END==
I'm currently sitting in the chair at the dining table thinking of what is going to happen next. The timeline is not right, the timing is off so the only thing I have right now for the future is references.
Tony Stark already came back after his fight with AIM and those Extremis soldiers. And that puts another target to those super-powered beings, not just the mutants or posthumans as I like to call it.
If this continues, the life of those posthumans who are living in peace will be disturb, I need to do something.
The convergence is almost upon us and I know that it will affect the earth with it. Not that I know of.
It's Saturday and we are at my grandma's right now. I said I have something to talk to them and it is important.
I just don't want them to be affected by what is about to happen in the world. It's getting dark out there for the posthuman kind, and a lot of people are eyeing our abilities. I don't want my family to be in the center of it all.
"What is it that you want to talk to us, Ivan?" Grandma asked while we are at the dining table.
I looked at them for a minute and say "Mom, Dad. I want you guys and Ivy to stay with grandma in the meantime. It's gonna be a lot more dangerous in our place."
They just looked at me and Mom talked "You want us to stay here for us to be safe? Then what are you going to do?"
She's looking at me like she knows what I'm about to do. I know she's not using her ability but just her maternal instincts are kicking in.
"I- I saw visions, scenes of what is about to happen." I said and I immediately followed it up as I saw my sister opening her mouth "And no, I can't tell you, I cannot tell anyone what is exactly going to happen. But I can give you guys some Idea to know what's about to happen."
I looked at their face, and there is no fear in them. My Mom has a little bit of worry on her face. My Dad is just looking without any visible fear or worry, Ivy is just there itching to ask a question and Grandma is waiting for what I'm about to say.
I took a deep breath and started "In a few months, something will happen that will endanger everyone. An organization will rise again to disrupt the peace. Then in a few years, another invasion will happen, not unlike the one that happened in 2012, but more dangerous. And a lot of things will happen with our kind, posthumans. An ancient being will wake up and will try to rule the world. And someone will push for our extermination."
I said to them, Grandma, Mom, and Dad looked shocked by what I just said. I mean, it's understandable to be shocked when you just heard that some more shit is going to happen.
"Are you sure that it's going to happen?" Grandma asked me.
And I answered "I don't know Grandma, but we better be ready if those really do happen" I lied, I know it's going to happen.
"No," Dad said
I looked at him with confusion on my face
He continued "We will not move here, we will stay in our house. Based on what you're saying, all of us will be in danger. You want us to stay here with your grandma, then what about you? Are you going to stay there and what? Do some dumb things that'll endanger yourself? We will not move, if there's any danger that will come in our way, we will face it together."
I just looked at him dumbfounded.
"Your father is right, we will face it together." Mom said and reached for my hand.
"I- I just want you guys to be safe. I don't want to take any chances." I said while looking at the floor.
"This kid. We are a family, we are here to protect each other. You know what? Instead of them moving here, I'll move there with you to your house. That way, we can protect each other, as a family."
Grandma said something that shocked me, again.
"Yeah! So what if there are a lot of them? We can just take them on!! I can punch them really really fast and they will never know what hit them!!" Ivy followed up.
We just laughed at what she said.
'Yeah, we are a family. And family is supposed to protect each other'
