Chapter 101

The man snatched the money and note and ran. He looked back at me, hesitation in his eyes, before he continued running.

I sighed, "poor guy."

"You should have just kicked his ass," Felicia argued.

"He was just trying to feed his family Kitten," I told her picking up the shopping bags, "don't pretend you won't do the same."

Felicia paused, "maybe….but still. Next time we'll do it my way."

"Peter, that...that was amazing," MJ said in slight awe.

I looked at her and chuckled, "oh it was nothing."

"Nothing? You just-I can't even-ARGH! You are impossible Peter Parker!" MJ threw her hands up in frustration walking out of the alley as quickly as she could.

I turned to Felica, "what's her problem?"

Felicia chuckled, "oh Tiger, you have so much to learn."

We did end up having a nice early dinner despite the mugging incident. Felicia had to pay, considering I didn't have any cash, I really should get a debit card, go cashless and all that.

I sent Felicia back home in a cab, promising to see her tomorrow at school. MJ and I then took another one back home, the whole ride MJ gave me the silent treatment.

"So...are we just going to pretend you aren't ignoring me?" I asked her.

"I'm not ignoring you," she replied.

"Well it kind of feels like you are," I reply back.

"Well maybe I'm just upset that you try to reason with the guy who tried to mug us!"

I sighed, "sorry. Just seemed like the path of least violence," the cab pulled up, MJ payed the man and we got out.

"Peter, what you did was reckless and dangerous! We should have just ran!"

"MJ, he was just trying to feed his family."

"And? A stranger's family is more important than your own life?"

I sighed, "I was never really in any danger."

"How can you say that?"

"Because," I stopped and thought off an excuse, "I have training. I do go for self defense classes you know."

"Yeah but-"

"-Enough," I cut her off closing the distance between us to just inches, "there are two things in life I know for sure. One, life isn't fair, and two, unless you take the time to give a damn, you'll leave this world worse than you found it.

"I don't plan on doing that, to be a footnote in history. I promise, I'll never put you in danger MJ, I will protect you," we were so close, I could smell the lemon scent rolling off her turn into maple syrup, arousal.

Her pupils dilated, increasing in size, I could feel her emotions raging inside. She leaned forward by a few inches, before suddenly the Maple syrup turned sour, and she immediately moved back, guilt I think.

"A-alright Peter," she replied turning away, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you," I replied as I watched her leave. Hm….these powers are weird man. I went home and quickly replaced most of my old clothes with my new ones. Ben and May were horrified I spent so much on one day, but I managed to convince them it was for the best.

I spent the rest of the night patrolling the streets as Spider-man before dropping in on Sue in the Baxter building. She and the others were working late, Sue was trying to figure out how my blood worked while Johnny and Ben seemed to just be content watching a movie.

I felt bad she was up so late because of me, so I swung over to the nearest pizzeria to buy them all several pies for dinner and then swung over to Felicia's.

I knocked on her window twice before she opened it dressed in one of my shirts I kept here just in case I needed to go a quick change.

"Hey lover, didn't think I'd see you here tonight," she smiled as I stepped inside, kissing her gently on the lips.

"I actually wanted to show you something," I smiled, as I took off my gauntlets and mask, putting it on her table, "I got new powers."

Felicia's eyes went wide, "I'm sorry?"

I smiled as I held my hands apart and slowly gathered bio-electricity into the palm of my hands, allowing the currents to travel between my palms, creating a light blue chain of power.

Felicia gasped, "when did you rip off Electro's power?!"

I chuckled, "no, not him," I explained what had happened, how I stopped a group of scientist forced to experiment on children and how I ended up with these powers.

"So that's why you looked sick," Felicia humned.

I nodded, "yeah, powers needed a little getting used too."

"Are you alright now?" she asked in concern, I could smell the lemon scent of fear slowly rolling off her.

"I'm perfect, in fact," I pulled her close and kissed her. She moaned into my mouth like she did, pressing the disengage button on my suit, pulling it down, running her hands over my naked chest.

"You know, I got a another power," I whispered as I pushed her onto bed, the scent of maple syrup heavy on her breath.

"Yeah?" she asked, her mind not really paying attention.

"Yeah," I leaned in and whispered into her ear, "I can now smell when you're horny. You smell like maple syrup."

Felicia chuckled, "well then, it's a good thing you're not diabetic."

I stopped and blinked, "wow...really?"

"What? That bad?"

"Yes."

"Oh shut it, you make worse jokes than that."

"Hey!" I protested as she laughed, pulling me into bed and throwing the covers over us.

We were tossing and turning for over an hour before we were done. I wanted to go again, but Felicia hit me over the head and reminded me it was a school night, I would need to go home before May and Ben realise I wasn't in my room.

I sighed as I reluctantly put on my costume and slipped into the night, planting a goodnight kiss on her forehead.

I reached home quickly and was about to go to bed when I remembered something odd, I was actually thinking about it all night, but only now I think I have an idea.

Blood….radiation...adapting...where have I heard that before?

Where have I seen that before? Where….oh fuck.

I ran downstairs into my basement lab that I rarely ever use anymore. I opened the hidden compartment under the floorboard and pulled out the stone I got from Harlem with Hulk's blood on it. Irradiated blood that adapts and could absorb anything, we had the same blood.
