Chapter 37

"Which means I can do this!" Reed yelled as he grabbed Doom with his giant hand and threw him into the air.

"I got him!" Sue yelled out as she captured Doom in an invisible ball and flew him over to the East River. I blinked as I watched her go, why was everything suddenly all red? Why...oh, I'm bleeding from my skull...what fun.

I closed my eyes and fell back on the broken debris as I heard Ben's voice yell something out. The FF could do the rest, I need to sleep.

Some time later:

I blinked awake and looked around. I was in a room with wires attached to me and a monitor attached to my chest. I moved around for a bit and felt pain shoot through my body. I looked down, I was wearing my pants, but my shirt and jacket were neatly folded and kept on the side.

I reached up and touched my face, no mask, shit! I looked to the side out the window and saw I was on a really high up floor, maybe the 200th? So it wasn't a hospital, thank god for small miracles. If I was in a hospital I would be so fucked! Goodbye Spider-man hello SHIELD detention facility.

The sky was darkening, it was late, maybe 8 pm? Was I asleep for an hour? I got off the bed and winced in pain at the feeling of my body move. I was bruised all over my body, but luckily it didn't feel like anything was broken.

"All I'm saying is we should at least hear the guy's story first before we throw him out on the curb!" Johnny Storm entered the room followed by Reed and Sue.

"We aren't going to throw him out Johnny it's just-" Sue stopped as she turned to me and smiled, "ah, you're awake then."

I nodded, "yeah, guess I am."

"Dude! I didn't think you would be awake so soon!" Johnny cheered, "but ah, I don't think you should be walking just yet."

"No, it's fine, my body can heal itself pretty quickly," I told him as I removed all the wires attached to me, switching off the heart monitor, "so...I'm assuming you already did a facial search?"

Reed nodded, "we did, hello Peter."

I winced, "damnit, there goes my secret identity."

"Hey don't worry, we won't tell anyone, right guys?" Johnny asked his sister and Reed.

"Of course, you helped us out with Doom it wouldn't be fair if we didn't at least returned the favour," Sue smiled.

"I still believed we should have called his aunt and uncle, they would be worried sick about him," Reed argued.

"Please don't," I told him, "I can manage them, they don't need to know about this part of my life," I grabbed my shirt and put it on. As I did I noticed Susan Storm's eyes pinned to my abs, I couldn't help but smile, guess I was hot huh?

"So wait why did you just jump in like that?" Johnny asked, "I mean don't get me wrong, I appreciate it and all that, but why risk your life?"

I shrugged, "people were getting hurt, I had to do something. I really doubt this is in Tony Stark's radar. He's probably off saving the middle-east or something." Plus I need the good press, but better keep that part to myself.

"So you just swing in? All the way from Queens?" Reed asked surprised.

"My uncle has a saying, with great power comes great responsibility," I put on my jacket and zipped it up. Tucked into its pockets I found my web shooters, phone and mask, "I have the power to help people, to save lives. Why shouldn't I?"

"Because-" Reed began only to stop, he thought for a moment before shrugging, "I honestly can't think of an answer for that."

"Would you look at that, I managed to stump the great Reed Richards," I chuckled as I turned on my phone to find two miss calls from my uncle.

I immediately called him and spoke, "hey Uncle Ben."

"Peter? Oh thank God, where are you Mr.? Do you know how worried your aunt was?"

"I-I sorry uncle Ben, Marcus called me over, he wanted me to help him out with a chemistry test tomorrow and I...I'm sorry."

"It's fine Peter, though when you get back we need to have a serious talk about this new attitude of yours," Ben's voice was soft but I could hear the edge to it, "I'm assuming you've already had dinner?"

I blinked, I looked at the clock on my phone and cursed, it was nine already. I sighed, "ah, yeah, Marcus' mom made us some pasta. Tell Aunt May I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry her." I spent a few more moments promising to be home early before hanging up.

"You're a very good liar," Reed narrowed his eyes.

I nodded, "not something I'm proud off."

"How long have you been...well, been Spider-man?"

"A month or so," I shrugged.

"Wait, seriously?" Johnny asked blinking, "but I've literally never heard of you until today."

"Did you hear about the Hulk in Harlem?" I asked.

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with you?" Johnny asked.

"You were there," Susan suddenly spoke out, "you helped the Hulk take out Abomination. I saw you on TV, a red hoodie and blue pants right?"

I nodded, "yeah. I've also been working a lot behind the scenes as well. Nothing big, just busting a block party here, being a pain in general to the drug rings of New York. You know, the usual."

Reed looked suspicious, Johnny looked impressed and Susan gave me a smile which made me wish I still had my adult male body. Stupid teenage hormones!

"Hey Peter," Johnny grinned as he swung his arm around me, "you hungry? Cause I'm hungry."

Reed's stomach growled just then causing the man to chuckle, "yes, maybe it's best we eat something. I'm sure Ben has reached her by now anyway."
