Chapter 1

(Peter Parker/Reincarnate)

Glaring down at the piece of paper on my desk. I wondered why drawing a blueprint was so difficult when I needed it most, Dropping my pen on the desk. Leaning on my chair I thought. 

These past few weeks have been chaotic. I'm pushing myself to invent something new that is safe and usable, but most of the things I invented were anything but, who knew creating something would be so difficult? They never tell you that in the movies.

I am ashamed to admit that I'm stumped on what to do.

Trying to build something that is both helpful and user friendly for the average person is not easy, or not as easy as I thought it would be when going into this project of mine.

But enough of my angst I have a project that needs to be finished before the end of the week.

Picking my pen I began to draw. well, I tried to. When a knock on my door interrupted me. Sighing, I got up and walked towards the door opening it, seeing no one there I was about to close the door when I heard.

"Hey! Don't the close the door on me that's mean!" A girl's voice said, sounding taken aback.

Looking down I saw my sister. well, my cousin who I considered my sister. Her not being birthed by my parents wasn't something that mattered much to me, I couldn't care less, she's family and that is what matters to me. Screw whoever disagreed.

"And just what are you doing, hmm? I hope you're planning on pulling one of your little pranks. You know what Uncle Ben said right?" I said, raising an incredulous brow.

"No, I am not trying to pull a prank!" Looking flushed, she pouted while looking at me. "I'm hungry and we're all out of Ice cream," She said, pouting even harder.

"We are? And what do you want me to do about that?" I said, folding my arms.

"Can't you get some more? You're super smart you should have loads of money." She grabbed hold of my shirt and looked at me with pleading eyes.

I took a moment to think about it, taking her to get some Ice cream should distract her long enough for me to complete my other project in time for the Oscorp school trip. I didn't want to spend my time for nothing. but I also didn't want to disappoint her.

I guess taking her to get some Ice cream shouldn't hurt huh? taking a look at her cute pout, I decided then.

"Fine, don't tell anyone it was me. Aunt May would scold me if she found out I got you Ice cream. She has been trying so hard to get you off it. So get ready while I dig around for some change."

I said, I tried to turn around to get ready to search my room when she hugged me suddenly.

"Thank you big brother you're the best!" She said excitedly. burying her head in my stomach.

Petting her head. "Of course I am, that's what big brothers are for," I said matter of factly. Pulling out of the hug I poke her forehead. "Now go get ready while I rummage around my room for money."

Cupping her forehead she stuck out her tongue and ran off to get ready.

Chuckling. I went to my desk opened my drawer and took the money I saved for this exact situation. walking downstairs I saw her wearing the sweater that May made for her. 

Smiling. "That was fast," I teased her.

Looking annoyed. "Yeah, so what!" She humphed.

Putting up my arms. "Relax I'm just teasing." I said, "Come on let's go, the sooner we return the sooner I can finish my project and the sooner May won't notice we're gone." Taking her hand I opened the front door and began walking.

On the way to my sister's favorite Ice cream stand in Queens, I asked about how her day went at school, and she told me how she made a friend. She told me how during recess a group of kids were bullying a boy, seeing how he wouldn't defend himself she ran up and got in front of the poor kid and told off the bullies.

After making a fuss, the bullies got bored and walked away. Turning she picked the boy off the ground and told him that if they ever tried to do that again she would make sure that they would regret it.

Ruffling her hair, I told her how proud I was of her for being so nice.

Blushing "It's what you would do," she said proudly.

arriving at the Ice cream stand. I ordered two. After a couple of moments, he handed us both fresh and amazing Neopolitan ice cream.

"Yes finally!" taking a bite she yelled out in excitement. "Ice cream is amazing!"

Ruffling her hair "It sure is kiddo."

"Hey stop that!" slapping away my hand she moved forward and stopped in front of me.

"There's a park that I always wanted to go to but never had a chance to go because everyone was too busy to take me." she crossed her arms and put on a confident facade.

"And since we're out here, I was wondering if you could take me there. please." She said, whispering the last part. Her confident mask cracking.

I looked at her, seeing her looking so small, I knew then that if I rejected, she would probably cry. I don't want to make her cry but I need to prepare for the trip. my project will determine if I survive being bitten by that spider that gave the original Peter Parker his powers.

But I also could use a break from the stress of preparing to be bitten. but if I take her to the park, Aunt May will notice we're gone. I'll be scolded by Aunt May and I really don't want to end up being scolded by her, honestly, that woman is scary when she wants to be.

"Alright fine,"

I so hope May doesn't get too mad at me for this. if she does, she should get mad at me more than my little sister. I know I'm too kind for my own good, I guess I have Ben to thank for that. Alright enough of my internal monologue it's time to take my sister to the park.

Speaking of my sister, I looked and saw her bubbling with excitement. then with a sudden burst of speed, she crashed into my chest knocking all the air out of my lungs.

"Oof,"

"Thank you big brother you're the best!" She said. Taking my hand, she led us towards the park.

After around close to twenty minutes of walking, we finally made it. The place wasn't anything spectacular but it did have a bunch of kids of varying ages playing so that was something.

Then again I remember playing at parks, throwing pocket sand at other kids. going too fast on the swing, and flying off injuring myself. but that didn't deter me if anything it excited me more.

thinking about it, I had a few screws loose crazy as a kid, didn't I? Hmm, better make sure she doesn't turn out, and make the same mistakes as me. I have to pay attention to her so she doesn't hurt herself too badly.

she was about to shoot off when I caught her. "Hold up,"

"What?" she looked confused, she probably wasn't expecting me to stop her.

"Be careful and don't get too hurt alright."

Smiling. "Don't worry I won't." Then she took off with surprising speed for someone her age.

Quickly moving to a bench not that far from me. I sat, keeping a close eye on her. Watching her with the other kids made me happy as an older brother. I don't want her to turn out like me, a loner.

And someone too busy studying and trying to find ways to make useful inventions, instead of spending time with his dear family.

It's sad to think about. I'm pushing myself to exhaustion and depression. So this new family I have wouldn't have to live wondering if their kid might have to starve so they can keep a roof over their heads. I don't want that for her, or anyone else. I want them to be happy.

I can still recall when I was reborn in this world, coming out of the womb and being blinded. after three months, I finally put together that I was reborn in the Marvel universe. Let's just say, that day I acted the baby that I was, much to the relief of my parents.

Much of my time here was spent expanding my knowledge and learning the physics of this strange world. It's almost similar to my old world but also too different. Such as the conservation of energy, in my old world, you couldn't create energy. but here you could. So that motivated me to learn everything I can about this world.

Richard and Mary Parker. My parents, Were scientists in this world. Pretty amazing scientists If I'm being honest. too bad they couldn't be here to see... Never mind that thought.

I know they would be proud.

*Yawn*

"Brother can we go home, I'm tired,"

Gazing at the setting sun I realized just how late it was, I guess I got too deep into my thoughts. "Sure," I looked at her and saw how tired she was, looking like she would pass out at any moment. "Want me to carry you home?"

"Yeah," She said while letting out a tired yawn.

"I hope you didn't push yourself too hard," I said worriedly.

"I did not, so don't worry," She said.

Nodding I got on my knees, motioning her to climb on my back. once she did, I began walking home. it was a peaceful walk. we talked about how much she had fun. She also told me she was glad to have such an awesome brother. hearing that last bit made a satisfied smile slowly creep on my face.

I guess I really am a good brother huh?

When we made it home I slowly kneeled letting her off. Knocking on the door, I was surprised to see who it was that greeted me.

"Huh, you're in so much trouble, kiddo,"

Uncle Ben.

The person who set Peter Parker on his quest to become a hero, A hero who will inspire a new generation of kids to become better people. Seeing the man who shaped Peter Parker to become as great as he is, never got old. But seeing him leveling a disappointing gaze at me, sent a wave of guilt through me.

"Uncle Ben I..."

"Save it, Peter," He sighed, moving out of the way and letting us in.

walking behind him, he led us toward the living room where we saw May standing, anger barely restrained.

"May, let me explain..."

"Zip it, Peter Benjamin Parker." She said voice barely above a whisper. "Do you know how long I had to walk out there, worried that someone might have kidnapped you or worse killed..." she whispered that last part. her voice choked with emotion.

I had nothing to say, or more like I did but didn't know how to get it out. I don't like seeing her like this, so emotional. knowing that I'm the cause of it hurts even more. I thought you left that side of you when you reincarnated. You made a promise that you wouldn't make your family worry anymore.

"Apologize to your aunt Peter," Ben said, tiredness saturating his voice.

After a long and emotionally draining talk. I went to my room drained. laying on the bed I let day's worries slowly dissipate. When I was close to letting the sweet embrace of sleep take over. I heard a small quiet knock on my door.

getting up, I opened the door and saw my little sister in her pajamas waiting on the other side.

Smiling. "And just what are you doing here this late, hmm," I asked.

"I'm tired, and I wanted to apologize for getting you in trouble," she said, bowing her head worried that I might be mad at her.

ruffling her hair I said. "Don't worry yourself too much about it. I'm the grown-up here I knew the risk of taking you out. so the blame is solely on me, not you, so cheer up kiddo, and wipe that frown off your face."

with a look of apprehension, "So you're not mad at me,"

"Nah, how could I be, You're my little sister."

"Cousin," She whispered.

"Don't matter," I said, watching her slowly curl into herself. "Hey, what's the matter," I said while Pulling her into my embrace.

Sniffling, she clutched my shirt, her face buried in my shirt. "We're not born from the same parents, so I thought you might hate for not being your real sister." her muffled voice barely hid her sobs.

slowly pulling her I locked eyes with her. "Hey, I would never hate you no matter what. Hurt me, despise me. I will never stop loving you as my adorable little sister."

With tear filled eyes, she spoke "Really?" her voice sparked with sadness.

Poking her head "Really." I affirmed.

After a couple of minutes of comforting her, I asked why she was here in my room so late.

"I didn't want to sleep alone, I wanted to know if I could sleep with you for tonight, if you don't mind" She looked worried that I might say no.

"Sure, but I need a shower so make yourself comfortable"

She nodded and proceeded to do just that.

After my shower, I got dressed in my pajamas, walked back to my room, and saw her in my bed relaxing. Smiling, I got in bed and slipped my arm under her head to use as a pillow.

I hope my life is just as peaceful as this.
