Chapter 1: The Bite

Peter Parker was not who you would consider popular. He was a nerd and a geek too. He hadn't known his parents either. They had died in some kind of airplane accident. However, it was never proven. As a result, Peter stayed with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. For most of his lifetime as a kid, Uncle Ben provided wisdom to Peter, but he never payed attention to it. At school, he was one of the smartest students. However, there were some inconveniences. Flash Thompson was one of them. He abused parker everyday at school. But Peter persisted anyway. On this particular day, Peter had been invited by Dr. Connors to see a new breakthrough in mutative technology. Many other students were also invited. At the demonstration, Dr. Connors inserted a vial of lizard dna into a mouse with a missing leg. Instantly, the leg grew back. Peter took out his camera and took multiple photos of the experiment. He never thought it could be achieved, but Connors had done it. However, what he didn't notice was a mutated spider crawling out of a tank in the lab. The spider crawled up the wall and made its way over to Peter and descended down slowly. Peter didn't notice still, but felt a pain in his left hand. Suddenly, he felt very sick. After the rest of the demonstration, Peter ran through the crowd and out the door. He ran back to his aunt and uncle's and went up the stairs to his room. He falls on his bed and everything fades to black. He awakens later and grabs his glasses. But when he puts them on, they are blurry. He no longer needed them. He looked at his body. He now had visible muscles too. He then looked at the palm of his right hand. It was swollen in one spot. He had been bitten by a spider. He then looks closer and notices something forming. Tiny little spikes were appearing on his hands. He runs out the door as Uncle Ben looks at him suspiciously. He heads into a nearby alley and looks up at the wall in front of him. He puts his hand on the wall, and it sticks with ease. He starts to climb, and realizes that he can stick with his feet too. He makes it to the top of the building where he overlooks the city. Suddenly, a patch of webbing appears at his feet. He tears it off and realizes that he had made it himself. He could shoot webs. He shoots a web line at a nearby powerline, and jumps. "Yeah!", he shouts. He was swinging across the city. He swings, attaching web lines wherever he went. People down below pointed as he swung past. Suddenly, he lost his grip and fell straight down into a newspaper stand. He gets up and steadies himself. He had survived somehow. He then notices a flyer on the wall. It said that they were accepting people who could last 4 minutes in the ring. He grabs the flyer and heads back home. Overnight, he sews a red and blue outfit using Aunt May's old yarn and cloth. He had become Spider-man.

Chapter 2: Anger and remorse

It is Saturday, and Peter Parker is ready for what is about to come. He had just discovered that he had powers and was preparing to fight in a wrestling match. It was very important to him, as it would get him a lot of money that he could use to support himself. He heads down the stairs and tells his aunt and uncle that he is heading to the library. Uncle ben begins to detect that something is wrong. "I'm going with you.", he says. Peter sighs. He didn't want Uncle Ben to come with him. "Fine.", he says. They head to the bus stop, and Peter sits with him. "Pete.", says Uncle Ben, "I know what you are doing." "What?", asks Peter in shock. "With great power, comes great responsibility.", he replies, "Remember that, Pete." "Enough of your wisdom ok.", says Peter coldly. "Right.", says Uncle Ben solemnly. The bus soon fills up, and they arrive at another station where a man with a bag is trying to get on. "The bus is full buddy!", says the driver. "I got somewhere to be!", says the man angrily. Peter looks at Uncle Ben and takes his chance. "Here, have my seat.", says Peter. Uncle Ben tries to stop him, but he gets off the bus. The man sits down in Peter's seat, and smirks as the doors close. Peter puts on his costume and swings towards the boxing arena. He notices other wrestlers sitting down in pain. He wouldn't have trouble though. He steps into the ring where the announcer steps up as well. "In this corner we have BoneSaw McGraw!", he says with enthusiasm, "And in this corner, we have the amazing, spectacular, terrific, Spider-man!" The crowd cheers on BoneSaw, but Spider-man receives no standing ovation. "Get over here!", says BoneSaw. "Ok. You asked for it.", says Spidey. He swings over and kicks BoneSaw in the face. He falls to the ground and BoneSaw falls to the ground, knocked out. "Winner!", says the announcer. Spidey smiles as the crowd cheers him on. Later, in the office, he receives only 500 dollars of the promised 1000 dollars. "The ad said 1000.", says Peter. "Yeah.", says the operator, "For 4 minutes. You stopped him in 2." "Whatever.", says Peter angrily. He wanted the full prize, not half of it. He leaves the arena and heads back to the bus stop where he sees a lot of police cars. "Hey!", says Peter, "What's going on?" "Someone was shot.", responds someone. "Wait.", says Peter quietly, "That's my uncle!" He runs over and sees his Uncle Ben laying on the ground bleeding. "What happened?", he asks through tears. "He was shot by someone who was sitting with him.", says an officer, "He wanted a sum of money, but we couldn't deliver." "You couldn't deliver?", asks Peter angrily, "It's your fault!" He prepares to attack the officers, but Uncle Ben speaks. "Peter...", he says, "Don't do-" He dies in Peter's arms. Peter looks around at the officers and runs off angrily. They were responsible for everything! He then remembers the man who entered the bus. "I let him in.", he says quietly, "It's also my fault." He hangs his head in shame. That man would pay for what he did.
