Peter Parker: Spider Man

Issue 1

Peter walked along the sidewalk his head down as he held his bag in his hands. His arm was scraped up and his bag was dripping wet. Peter was a short and scrawny boy of 14 with short brown messy hair. The sounds of his classmates laughing could be heard in the distance.
"Good one Flash", someone called out.
Another person yelled "Parker never even saw it coming.
Peter was filled with rage as he heard these remarks but what was he going to do. He was just puny Parker. Little Peter. A nobody. Or so he thought.
"Peter!! Hey Peter!", someone called.
Peter looked and saw Harry Osborn running down the sidewalk. Harry had been Peter's best friend for about 3 years now. They had met in middle school when Harry needed help with a science project. Afterwards they became friends and Peter would help Harry study. Peter smiled at his friend, who was always a relief after a humiliation, usually perpetrated by Flash Thompson.
"Flash and his cronies bothering you again", Harry asked even though he already knew the answer. Peter nodded his head but stayed silent.
"I could go over there and have a talk with them for you Pete."
Peter responded "No. Every time you do that they find a way to make my life even more miserable. I'll only have to deal with them for one more year."
Peter, Harry and the rest of their classmates were all freshman at Midtown high. Their freshmen year had started three and a half weeks ago and Peter was ready for it to be over.
"Whatever you say, Petey. Hey I need some help studying for our first chem test. Mrs Ramirez seems tough and I don't wanna fail the very first test."
"I can't tonight. I promised Aunt May I'd help her and Uncle Ben paint the living room. How bout tomorrow" Peter said.
Harry laughed, "Tomorrow we've got the trip to Oscorp remember?"
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I probably won't go."
Harry was dumbstruck, "Won't go! Peter this is your dream. Of course it's your sad little nerd dream but it's your dream. Why wouldn't you go."
Peter looked back over his shoulder at the classmates, now further away.
"Them? Pete I'll make sure they don't get the chance to do anything. You're going that's final. Understood".
With a nod Peter said, "Alright, man. But I'll have to talk later. Aunt May is probably already fuming that I'm late. See you tomorrow."
Harry waved goodbye and walked off. Peter dropped his head back down and headed home

Meanwhile a man was working furiously in a lab. He was muttering incomprehensible things to himself as he labored over his project. A computer chimed and the man turned to look at it. When he saw the results he smiled and began laughing.
"It works! It really works. This will change everything" he yelled still smiling.
"All thanks to you little spider" he said holding up a small glass cube. Inside was a tiny blue and red spider.

Peter sat at the kitchen table. He had just finished painting the living room with his Uncle Ben and Aunt may had made dinner. Aunt May was an old woman with silvery hair worn in a bun. His Uncle Ben had the look of a man who had been through a lot but had kind eyes and Peter had always looked up to him.
"Well how was school today Peter?" his uncle asked with a warm smile.
"Same as usual" Peter replied not looking up from his plate.
"Anything interesting happen?" Uncle Ben asked
Peter didn't answer. He was too embarrassed to tell his aunt and uncle about how Flash and his goons had treated him.
"Peter" his uncle tapped on his shoulder
Peter looked up and replied dryly "Nothing too crazy. Look guys I'm really tired would it be ok if I excused myself and went to bed?"
Aunt May rushed over and put a hand on his head. "Oh dear, I hope you don't have a cold", she remarked.
Uncle Ben said "Of course you can head to sleep Pete. You need a lot of rest for that big day at Oscorp tomorrow."
"Good night guys. I love you" Peter responded and kissed his aunt's cheek. His Uncle Ben gave him a hug and Peter headed upstairs.

"Mr. Osborn!" The scientist yelled. "Mr. Osborn!"
Norman Osborn turned around to face the little scientist "What is it Doctor Octavius?" He asked in a gruff voice.
"Sir we just had a massive break through in experiment AF-15. Number 42 yielded remarkable results and it's still alive!" He said quietly but visibly excited.
Norman smiled and replied "Good. Show me our success"

AUTHOR NOTE: Hey everyone this is a new story. I'm hoping to come out with new "issues" at least every week. Im currently working on designing Peter's suit and when I finish it that will be the cover art. I wanna make it custom but still stay true to the original. Thanks everyone!
