1 My Best Friend has Spider Powers

I was currently sitting in a white room with an attractive white-haired girl apologizing to me in a Japanese dogeza position. I sigh and take a sip of the tea she had poured me before setting the tea cup down gently. "So, you're saying that you are the goddess of death and that you accidently wrote my name in the book of the dead because you got caught slacking off?"

The girl gets up and nods her head, I note that she has stunning sapphire blue eyes, before saying, "You are taking this rather well for someone who just died."

"I practice a go with the flow mentality," I say with a shrug. "Are you sure you can't erase my name and let me come back to life?"

"Your body has already been buried by your family" She answers. "So, if you were to come to life now you would die due to suffocation."

I let out a breath of air before moving my glasses up and rubbing my eyes. "So where am I going? Heaven, Hell, Limbo, or am I staying with you?"

The girl's face becomes red and she shakes her head rapidly. "No no no no! I was thinking that I could reincarnate you in a world of your choice and give you 3 wishes."

"Can I wish for anything?" I ask, already forming the three wishes in my head.

"Anything within my power."

I think to the world I want to be reincarnated into; I didn't really want to reincarnate into an anime world, out of the superhero worlds I wasn't a DC fan so…

"I want to be reincarnated in the Marvel Universe and I want to go to Midtown High in the same year as Peter Parker on the day he gets his spider powers," I request.

I didn't want to become Spider-man myself but I wanted to be friends with Peter mainly because I felt like we would really get along.

"That'll be easy," The goddess says with a smug expression.

"As for my wishes," I start. "First one, I want to have super intelligence, the second one, I want the Super Megaforce Morpher but I want it capable of turning into any previous Ranger Morpher and scaled up to be extremely powerful in the Marvel Universe with a Ranger base that contains all my Zords, I want to have powers without needing to morph but they need to be weaker than my powers in the suit, and for my final wish, I want to not have to worry about money at all."

"Wow, you want alot but I can do that," She smiles. "Do you want to keep your appearance?"

I think for a bit, I wasn't bad looking but I wasn't drop dead gorgeous either. Overall my appearance was average, I did exercise but only enough to keep myself fit. Added to the fact I looked androgyneous enough to not look particularly male or female, I honestly didn't really care to change my looks.

"No, not really" I say, I wasn't planning on getting girls who only care about appearance anyway. "Just send me on my way"

"Okay if you say so," The goddess snaps her fingers and my vision starts to become dark. "Oh, you'll get your Morpher sometime after Peter Parker becomes Spider-man."

"Thanks!" I say with a smile as my vision fully becomes black.

When I'm able to see again, I see a guy with short dark brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses wearing a stereotypical nerd outfit, attempting to shake me awake. I scan through my memories in order to learn who the guy was, when I finish scanning through my memories I learned that my new name was Noah West, I have been best friends with both Peter Parker and Harry Osborn since we were 5, and I was currently an orphan because my parents had died just last year and no one in my family took me in. But it was okay since my parents left everything to me in their wills, so I didn't really have any worries about anything.

"Noah! We're here!" Peter says to me. "You need to stop going into your own world"

"Calm down Pete, the science center will still be here," I say getting up fully as I notice everyone was moving to get off the bus. "Besides, we can't exactly move everyone out the way."

"And that's where I come in" I hear a confident voice say causing me to turn and look.

A guy with short brown hair and green eyes, dressed in some relaxed casual clothing stands stopping the line for Peter and I to get out.

"Thanks, Harry," I say pushing Peter out the seat in order for him to pick up the pace.

"What are friends for?" Harry asks while we move to start walking down the bus aisle. "You would have done the same for me if Pete hadn't blocked you in."

"You're not lying, man" I say as we get off the bus.

"I know I'm not," Harry says. "Anyway, did Pete bore you to sleep talking about the science center?"

"Hey! Talking about the science center isn't boring!" Peter exclaims. "Why don't you ever pick on Noah? He's smarter than me."

"Because I know how to, no offense Harry, tone down my intelligence to that of a normal person," I say in response. "Besides with us at least you know we're joking."

"Why is it when you say no offense you always follow it by something extremely offensive?" Harry asks me as we finally walk into the science center. "Also we lost Pete."

I turned to see that Peter had disappeared from beside us and was taking pictures of everything in the room. I sigh, "You're right we lost him just like I expected us to and I even got the exact second right."

"Wait, you predicted the down to the exact second," Harry asks me in disbelief. "I didn't think you would guess that."

"Why do you alway doubt my intelligence?" I ask with a bored expression. "Like I know for a fact Pete is about to take a picture of the spider exhibit in 3...2…"

I point to Peter who's taking a picture of the spider exhibit just as I point to him then hits his hand, probably killing the spider that just bit him. I walk over to see if Peter is okay, as I walk over I see where the spider was and under the the guise of tying my shoe I get out a pair of tweezers and an empty pill bottle and put the spider's corpse inside the bottle (I mean come on it is a radioactive spider who in their right mind would not pick it up?).(Editor note: most people in their right mind wouldn't pick it up something radioactive)"You okay Pete?" I ask since he looks a little sick due to the spider's bite giving him his spider powers.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine Noah," Peter says looking like he was about to puke.

I sigh, "Harry, can you get us a car? Pete needs to go home."

"Give me a sec," Harry says, pulling out his smartphone and taking a few minutes to talk to whoever picked up before he hung up. "Alright, a car's coming in a few."

"Thanks Harry," I tell him with a smile. "You really are a good friend."

"When haven't I been a good friend?" Harry says in mock anger.

I laugh as we take Peter out of the science center with him protesting that he was fine. "Remember that time you were obsessed with popularity? To the point you abandoned me and Pete because you made friends with Flash and his idiot crew?"

"Again, I thank you for showing me that they were only using me for my money," Harry responds. "Without your help, I would still be with those idiots."

"No problem, at least you didn't act like a total douchebag when you were with them. If you were I would have had to do the same thing I did to them when we started highschool," I smile at the memory of how I made a extremely potent stink bomb and set it off in the locker room without anyone knowing it was me, at the same time I also told everyone except Flash and the idiots to not go into the locker room. The best thing about the stink bomb was it was one hundred times worse than skunk spray and it stuck to your body just like skunk spray. According to Harry, they still have to bathe in cologne just to not smell like the stink bomb I made a full year ago. However, I recently made another stink bomb at least twice as potent as the last one with the added effect of turning a person neon pink from head to toe. Of course, I made a solvent for both but Flash and his crew just need to stop being jerks before I sell it to them (Hey, what can I say? I'm not a saint).

Harry, Peter, and I stood outside the center in silence while waiting for the car Harry called for. Peter looked dangerously close to passing out while Harry and I were on our smartphones playing games. When the car came, we got in and the car took us back to Peter's place with the condition he was in his uncle and aunt were extremely worried but we calmed them down immediately. Harry had the driver take me back to my house and I told him I'll see him later before going into the house, grabbing something to eat, and crashing onto my bed.

"So I'm now in the Marvel Universe?" I say out loud while staring at the ceiling reviewing my thoughts on today while trying to fall asleep. "I wonder which exact universe is it, it can't be Earth 616 because I don't exist there. Doesn't matter anyway, I'm here now and I made my impact on the life of one of the heroes here. I'll make sure Peter tells me and Harry his secret so we can act as back up for him and so Harry doesn't hate Spider-man."

Having cleared my head, I fall asleep and peacefully sleep until I wake up because of my phone ringing. I grab my phone to see who it was before answering it.

"What do you need, Pete?" I say, my voice heavy with sleep. "It's like 3 in the morning and we have school today."

"Uh~ Noah," I note the nervousness in Peter's voice. "Can you let Harry and me in? Something happened that you may or may not believe."

"What? You and Harry are gay and have been dating each other?" I joke as I get off my bed and head to the door. "That's not that hard to believe."

"This isn't something to joke about," I hear Harry say from the other side of the door as I hang up my phone and open it. Both Harry and Peter had a nervous expression on their faces. They walk into my house and stand in my living room.

"Show him Pete," Harry says.

Peter nods his head and from standing on the ground, jumps up and sticks to the ceiling.

'Totally didn't think he would tell us about his spider powers, this Peter really is different,' I think to myself. "Enhanced agility and the ability to stick to walls, and I can assume there were other things happening, right?"

"How'd you guess?" Peter asks in confusion. "And why aren't you freaking out about it like me and Harry were?"

"Easy, Peter would have possibly died in seconds if it was a regular spider so I picked up the dead spider and ran a test on it," I tell them. "According to the spider's blood, its D.N.A. was modified giving its basic spider attributes a boost and the potential to pass on those attributes to others with certain D.N.A. structures. Peter just happened to match that requirement and boom now if my hypothesis is correct, which it probably is, in addition to enhanced agility and the ability to stick to walls; Peter now has enhanced strength, flexibility, and a forewarning ability that gives him a relative sense of where and when danger is coming."

"What should we do?" Harry asks in complete concern.

"Not turn him into the government," I say without changing my expression. "They would turn him into a lab rat and then a soldier in a heartbeat. I mean look at what they do to mutants."

To prove my point, I turn on the T.V. which, coincidentally, was showing anti-mutant campaigns. I switch the channel before turning the T.V. back off with a tired sigh.

"But what if something happens? Like if I grew eight arms or turned into a giant man-spider?" Peter asks still on the ceiling of the living room.

"IF that were to happen, it would have happened while you were unconscious," I tell him. "Now if you're done worrying, Pete, if you have these new powers you should try using them to do some good."

"Can you be serious for five fucking minutes?!" Harry yells visibly upset. "Something is going on with Pete and you want him to go out and play hero?! What happens if something goes wrong?!"

"I am being serious," I say, taking off my glasses and giving Harry one of my rare serious expressions while looking him in the eyes. "Even if we were to keep Pete here while I try to make some kind of cure or something to reverse the effects of the spider bite, do you really think that would be helpful? Making something like that could take years and still not work because I don't know the full extent of his new powers. However, if we monitor Pete while he's going out and being a hero, it will be beneficial in two ways, Pete will be able to save any innocents and we can learn the full extent of his powers which will significantly decrease the research for a cure."

"You still haven't told me what happens if something goes wrong!" Harry asks, slightly less angry. "What if a villain or something appears?"

I sigh, "Follow me."

I brought Peter and Harry to my basement/lab area, it has been my lab ever since I was 11, due to the fact my experiments got to the point where they couldn't stay in my room anymore.

"Morning Alpha 7," I say as we enter. "Any problems with Project H.G. MK VIII?"

"Project H.G. MK VIII is running perfectly, no problems have occured with it," My A.I., Alpha 7, responds back. I named it after the robots from Power Rangers.

"Great!" I lead Peter and Harry to a display with a green sleeveless hoodie, grey armored chest piece, grey half mask, black pants with gray armor plating, black boots with gray plating, and a glider. "This is the Hobgoblin suit MK VIII, I designed it for rescue work but with a few redesigns I could make this combat ready. Harry, you and I both know that Peter doesn't have the martial arts training that we have so why would I send him out by himself?"

"How long have you had this?" Peter asks, staring at the suit in amazement. "And what happened to the first seven?"

I shrug, "I made the MK I when I was 12 so the concept has existed for 3 years as for what happened to them, I took them apart to study their electronics and re evaluate any bugs then I put them on display."

I snap revealing the 7 previous models along the back wall of the basement. Each of the past models weren't as sleek and minimalistic as the current one but they held sentimental value to me (added to the fact I made Mark 8 backwards compatible).

"Also, before I forget," I grab a syringe with the label, Harry, on it and inject the contents into Harry's neck.

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Harry yells in anger and pain.

"The result of something I made that makes you fire proof, bullet proof, control fire, and siphon off the heat from flames," I tell him with a smile. "And before you ask, yes it works but the only side effect is, if you siphon off enough heat you will be able to create fire whenever you want."

"How do you know about the side effect?" Harry asks, looking at me in concern.

"I tested it on myself last year," I answer truthfully. "Anyway~, we need to work on Pete's suit and I don't think Pete is able to make natural webs so we need to make those too!"

"Are you planning on going with a complete spider theme for me?" Peter asks.

"Yep, I already have perfect names for you and Harry!" I say happily. "Harry will be the Hobgoblin since that is the name of the suit, and you Pete, will be Spider-Man! You know since you got bit by a radioactive spider and have spider-like powers it's only fitting."

Peter and Harry both sigh at my antics as I proceed to attempt to figure out the formula for a spider's webs.
