The Broken Spider-Man - A Peter Parker Fanfiction

Chapter One - The day that started it all

TW: death, mentions of trauma

"So, six months, that's a big milestone." I smiled, MJ chuckling as we walked along the school hallway.

"I guess that it is. I don't know, Peter is my first boyfriend, so I'm not entirely sure what's a big milestone and what's not." She shrugged.

"Six months is big, MJ. What's Peter planning for it? He comes across as a romantic guy, I'm sure that he'll be planning something." I nodded.

"That's the thing, he won't tell me. His only instructions were to get on the school bus instead of walking home like I usually do. I guess that wherever he's taking me is on the bus route." She theorised as we walked out of the school doors and towards the bus.

"Urgh, I finally have a bus buddy. You and Peter walk home, Ned cycles, that leaves lonely old me sitting on the bus." I pouted, making MJ laugh as we climbed onto the yellow vehicle.

"Don't get too excited, dude, it's a one-day thing." She chuckled. I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled as we sat on a row, the bus moving shortly afterwards.

MJ and I sat on the bus as it drove across the Brooklyn Bridge, talking about her and Peter's plans as we moved.

"So, what did you get him for your anniversary?" I asked.

"You know how he and Ned built that Lego death star? I found out that you can get these super rare Lego characters for it, so I got him one of them." She nodded.

"Aw, MJ, he's going to love that." I chuckled, making her smile. Suddenly, the bus abruptly stopped, making us all scream and gasp as we lurched forward. I looked ahead and my eyes widened as a car in front of us was now on fire, blocking the road and stopping us in our tracks.

"Woah, what the fuck?" MJ scoffed as she looked out of the window by our seats.

"What's going on?" I gulped as we watched people desperately getting out of their cars and running away. Suddenly, the doors of the bus were broken, making us scream as two men in all black clothing walked into the bus with machine guns.

"Alright, fucking listen up, here's what's going to happen! We're going to take two people, anyone else will get shot if they try to intervene!" the main man yelled, making us all scream. I gulped, my heart thumping through my chest as MJ and I hid behind the seats, trying to remain hidden. It didn't work. The gunman spotted me, making my eyes widen as his lips curled into a sickening smirk and he walked towards me.

"No, please, let me go, please." I choked and winced as he harshly grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

"Your little friend can come too." He smirked at MJ. Her eyes widened as she was also grabbed and hauled up. I choked and looked at her, making her give me a small reassuring smile and a nod as she took my hand. I returned it, tightly holding onto her and trying to ignore the feeling of utter dread as the men forced us off of the bus.

"What do you want with us? We haven't done anything." I choked as the men harshly pushed us through what seemed to be abandoned underground tunnels. The main gunman groaned and firmly pulled my arm, making me yelp as he pulled me to the edge of a hole in the concrete. I gulped, my heart in my throat as I stared down into the seemingly never-ending black hole.

"You see that? That's a thirty-foot drop. If you don't shut your fucking mouth, you're going to get dropped down it, even if Spider-Man hasn't arrived yet." He spat. My eyes widened, as did MJ's.
