Chapter 4: It is time

Eleven years have passed since the night my parents died and I am now fifteen and that means I will soon get to become Spiderman and then I will finally be able to get control of my body. A lot of things have gone done in the past eleven years but, the main things are these. MJ and I are good friends and she really likes me, but this body does not even see it as he has a crush on Liz Allen (the stuck-up cheerleader). I gained two more points in willpower trying to break out before I stopped getting experience for it which put me at a whopping three, I can't wait to get some missions to raise it. Last it seems that my parents left me some money so Aunt May and Uncle Ben are not as poor as they are in the comics or movies.

Today was the day of the field trip to Oscorp and both me and my body are so excited him for the science part of it and me for finally being able to get out of here and start my life in this world. I suddenly had a worrying thought so I asked Sarah, "Sarah I had a question, what happens to the soul controlling the body right now when I get control over it?" After a couple of seconds, she replies, "The soul that is in the body is a copy of your but with all the memories sealed from your last life so when you get out of your prison you will not be killing anyone just getting the energy from that soul. That is also how you will get out of there as you did not have enough energy to get out." Well that took care of my biggest concern.

Waiting by the bus my body was lost in thought looking at Liz when he gets hit by a wad of paper which breaks him out of his stupor. "Hey tiger stop ogling at Liz and come over here, so we can sit together." Looking at the voice talking to me it turned out to be MJ and she was with Harry Osborn who was my only other friend. Just as I stared going over to them Flash Thompson was walking toward Liz as she was his girlfriend and it looks like he noticed my staring at Liz and proceeded to shoulder thump me into the bus before waring me to watch it puny Parker.

MJ and harry hurry over making sure I was ok and while they were at it gave Flash the stink eye.

Scowling at Flash, Harry says, "What is wrong with that guy. it's like the only person in the entire school he picks on is you. I just can't figure out why." Smirking I respond to Harry, "I think he is just compensating for the fact I am smarter than him and that frightens him as he knows I have a much better future than him." MJ smiles at me saying, "Ya you will be inventing things and become a billionaire like Tony stark and Flash will be lucky if he gets hired to be a coach for the football team here." Laughing I get up and proceed to get on the bus with MJ and Harry as we go to the back, so we can all sit together.

It takes about an hour for us to get from Midtown High to Oscorp and along the way I just hear the same thing I do every day. Children talking about who dresses the best or who likes who and as soon as I can I am getting out of the place and I am going to college and putting this Parker brain to better use then letting it rot in high school because Aunt May and Uncle been want me to have friends and be able to socialize like a normal person and I just cannot take it anymore. Thankfully Peter has been saving up for a car I am going to use that money for my G.E.D. and got to college.

Once we arrive at Oscorp and get off the bus a tour guide is there to give us the student tour and I am buzzing as I can't wait for this to happen. We make are way you the genetically altered spider containment units when the guide comments on how there is one missing and it must have been taken for testing. I know better though as I know it is above me right now and it was then that I got bite by the spider that is going to change my life. On instinct I slap away the spider and after a few second, I start to feel faint and pass out.

Uncle Ben get a call from my teacher that I fainted and asked if he could come and get me at the Oscorp building. Letting his bosses know what happened he rushed over and took me home putting me in bed and letting Aunt May know that I have a slight fever, but they don't think anything else is wrong with me. Aunt May starts to cry at the thought of me dying and losing another baby and Uncle Ben hugs her and assures her that I will be fine, and he does not know how right he is.

As I am lying in bed I am in such pain that I didn't think it even possible as I was in pain it was like time slowed to a standstill and seconds felt like hours. It is like a million needles stabbing me over and over while healing the wounds in between stabbings. I can feel my D.N.A. changing and it is like ice and fire in my veins pulsating every time a strand is altered by the spider mutation that is happening inside me.

I can feel my bones creak and crack as they grow a massive amount in a short time. It is like my bones are breaking and healing and then breaking again over and over. I get blinding headaches as I feel a pressure in my head that makes me feel like I just went on the Tilt-A-Whirl for hours as my brain changes from a normal human to one with spider sense. My muscles feel like they are melting and then freezing as they get broken down and reconstructed to handle the proportional strength of a spider. This goes on for what feels like days, but it was only one night and now I only feel bliss as I am now free from my prison and have full control over my body.

Waking up I look around with my new eyes and I can't help but feel giddy as I can now move my fingers. I walk over to the mirror that I have in my room and look at my brand-new abs and start to check out my new status as spider man.

Name: Peter Benjamin Parker Title: Spider man

Class: none Job: none

Alignment: Neutral

Level: 1 (0/100)

Health: 210

Magic power: 0 (Locked)

Strength: 31

Defense: 21

Intelligence: 12

Willpower: 5

Charisma: 10

Luck: 30

Looking at my status I am flabbergasted at the number of stats I gained just from becoming Spider man. 'I wonder how much I can bench press now?' Thinking about that I concentrate on my strength and it tells me I can lift three hundred and ten pounds. So that tells me one stat point is about ten to its' equivalent place and that why I now have two hundred and ten health from my ten before. Laughing I think 'I am durable'.

Suddenly a screen appears before me snapping me out of my wonderment over my new-found freedom. * Mission alert: Take G.E.D. and get out of the hell hole that is high school and get accepted into college. * Looking at the mission alert I smile and diced to go tell Aunt May and Uncle Ben about my plans. I go down stairs and greet them good morning, 'Morning Aunt May. Morning Uncle ben. I need to talk to you both about something and just let me tell you I have thought this through." They both look at each other perplexed and then Aunt May says, "Peter anything you want to tell us I promise we will hear you out." Uncle Ben nods and agrees with her.

I calm myself and look at them and say, "I going to take the G.E.D. so I can go to college now. High school just does not have anything to teach me and I am just bored there." Uncle Ben looks down sighs and says, "I know you don't like high school Peter no one does but it lets you build friends ships and be able to socialize like a normal person. We just don't think it is a good ideal for you to go to college when you haven't even given high school a chance yet."

Feeling frustrated I calm myself down before I respond to them with tears in my eyes, "With all due respect Uncle Ben it's you who have to go to a school where you are the smartest person there even the teachers don't know as much as I do. You also don't get picked on by everyone there for being too smart for your own good. You don't get beaten up every other day by a jock who jealous of you for being smart when he fails every subject. I am doing this, so I can stop living in fear of getting hurt."

Looking shocked Aunt May comes over to me and hugs me with tears in her eyes saying, "Oh Peter, I'm so sorry we didn't see this sooner. If we knew you were hurting so much we wouldn't have held you back from skipping grades. Of course, you can go to college early just promise me that you really know what you're doing and tell your friends what is going on. You know MJ really likes you and I think you two would make the cutest couple."

I smile at Aunt May and say, "I know, and I think I like her to I am might tell her later today when I tell her I am going to go to college early. I just hope MJ and Harry don't hate me for this." Uncle Ben chuckles a little and says, "Well at least you got two friends who you can count on. Just make sure you tell them that you are going to keep in touch." Peter says, "Of course I mean I am going to Empire State University so it's not like I'm going out of state."

I say goodbye and start my way to midtown high for one of the last times as a student. I wait till lunch to talk to MJ and Harry. Peter, "So you two know that I am like super smart and this place has nothing to teach me, right?" They nod as I continue, "So I am going to be taking the G.E.D. so that I can go to college and not have to deal with people like Flash. Also, don't worry I am not shooting for anything like Harvard just Empire State University so I am not going too far away." They look at each other and then Harry says, "Dammit Peter I can't believe you're doing this to me I mean come on!" Not expecting that I look a little hurt and cast my eye down. "I mean come on you could not have lasted at least till Junior year? You just made me lose the bet, now I owe MJ a hundred bucks." Looking up I see MJ and Harry smiling at me.

MJ says, "Come on tiger we both knew this place was not cut out for you and we bet on how long you would last, and I just won." Harry says, "Just don't get so caught up in school that you forget us in this godforsaken place that is high school." Smiling I says, "I would never do that I mean we are still going to hang out like all the time like we do now. Oh ya, MJ can you come over after school today I want to ask you something in private." MJ looks curiously at me and says yes and then we go back to class and after class I rush home.
