Spiderman Oneshots

✯The New Villain ✯ part 3 ✯

Everything is a blur when my eyes open again, I try to look around but my body feels numb, I feel as if I'm floating but that's not happening, because I can feel the cold concrete underneath me. I open my mouth and try to speak and to my surprise, words come out. 

"K-Karen... C-call Mr. Stark" I manage to mutter and I feel the blackness embrace me again. 

✯

My eyes flutter open again and I don't know where I am, it's just a bright white, I blink a couple of times and my squint my eyes to adapt my eyes to the bright light. I can see I'm in a hospital bed, a steady beeping from an AKG by my side tells me I'm still alive. I try to sit up but a throbbing headache stops me, so I stay down. After a few minutes of staying down, a man with pepper-black hair comes in the room and I immediatly recognize him as Bruce Banner. One of my idols! I love him and if it wasn't because I had just woken up, I would've screeched in 
"Ah, you're awake Mr. Parker" he says and turns off EKG machine, the soothing silence taking over. "Can you sit up?" he asks me and I try again, this time succeding. 
"Good" he says and I open my mouth to try to speak. "How long was I out?" I ask with a raspy voice before adding "and may I have some water?" 
"You were only out for a couple of days, which is surprisingly few in comparison to how much blood you lost." he tells me while reaching out for a bottle of water which he handed to me.
"Oh, how did I get here?" I ask him, does he not know I'm Spider-Man and therefore I have enhanced metabolism?
"Tony Stark just flew here carrying you in his arms, you had been stabbed with a sword and you still had your Spider-Man suit on." Bruce tells me and I nod, which I quickly regret as it brings back the pain in my head, "So you know I'm Spider-Man? What do you know about my powers?" 
"Yes, I figured that much as you still had the suit on-" he chuckled lightly "- and I don't know a lot, but I did run some tests, and your DNA is mixed with spider, you're sticky and can stick to any surface, you have enhanced metabolism which explains why you didn't die and why you healed so fast, you have also enhanced senses, agility and strenght." He finished listing my powers and I sit in silence as I don't really have anything else to add into the conversation.

"Now, what I don't know is how you got stabbed with a sword, mind telling me?" He asks and I comply. 
"well, there's this new villain called Shadow - his weapon of choice is two swords - and as far as I could tell, his only objective was to get a hold of me, I then figure out it's my best friend behind the mask-" I inhale shakely before continuing "- He lures me into a warehouse and attacks me, I do my best to dodge his attacks, I couldn't attack back as I didn't want to hurt my best friend" another pause tears made my eyes glisten. "He ends up tackling me and then stabs me, I reveal myself as his friend and then he fled the scene as far as I know, I fainted but later came to consciousness again and I tell my AI to call Mr. Stark, then I faint again and I wake up in here" I tell him, he nods slowly and before Bruce can say anything the door flings open and Tony Stark enters. "Is the kiddo awake?" he asks and then looks at me before stopping. "I can see he is, do you mind if I have a word with him?" Stark asked Bruce whom nodded and then left the room. 

"So kiddo, you're 15 and Spider-Man?" he questions me. 
"Uhh yes" I stutter, Tony Stark is my literal idol and now I'm talking to him, so of course I'm nerveous. 
"You're way too young to be out there, throwing yourself into danger, it's just to unresponsible." he says and I pout. "If you can do the things I can, and you don't, and then the bad things happen, then they happen because of you" I explain to him and he pauses. "I can't stop you from going out, but I can help build you a bullet-proof suit" he says after a while and I freeze in excitement before lighting up in a huge grin. "Really?" I squeel and he nods. "sure thing kiddo, also how did you call me? I didn't answer my phone just went automatically to the call" he asked and I shrug. "I just asked my AI to call you, then I fainted" I explain and he nods. 

"Who manufactured your web and created you AI?" he asked me and I smile. "Me, myself and I" I reply and his eyebrows rise in surprise. "Really?"
"Yeah" I reply, him not believing me that I built that by myself must be a compliment. 
"That's impressive kiddo, if I'm going to help you build a bulletproof suit I could also help you with a lot of improvements to your suit, maybe you could also help me out sometime, so let me make you an offer, you become my personal intern, a paid internship, we help each other out and then you also have a place to go if you get wounded on your nightly activities?" Tony offers and I almost burst out laughing, the joy bubbbling in my throat, was he serious? 
"Are you serious?" I  ask him, just to be sure this wasn't some prank or something. 
"Of course I am, you're a smart kid" he tells me and ruffles my hair and I smile with pride. 
"Sure thing!" I say with glee and then that's it, I now have a job and can finally help aunt May with the rent.
"Good, but for now you need to rest" he says and walks out of the room.

It only took a week for me to have healed up properly, the wounds now only being scar tissue. And during that week Karen updated me on the crime happening and it was just the normal stuff, no villains and no Shadow. Tony helped with figuring out who's the boss of Shadow and to no surprise it was the one I feared the most, HYDRA, Tony Stark assured me the Avengers would take care of HYDRA and all I needed to do was get better.I take a deep breath in before stepping into my school, I walk up to my locker and meet with MJ.
"Sup Loser! Where have you been?" She asks me, leaning against the locker and I shrug. "I was sick, or something like that" I reply and she shrugs back. "Okay, I don't care anyway" she says and I smile at her, she doesn't smile back and her usual neutral facade fade over into worry. "Have you talked with Ned recently?" she asks and my heart drops and it's as if I feel the stab in my stomach again. "No, I haven't, what's wrong?" I ask her. 

"He's been shutting everyone out, not even wanting to talk to me, I thought you knew, being his best friend and all" she says and I quickly shake my head, she raises an eyebrow at me but doesn't say anything. "No, I don't know anything about him, I haven't talked to him all week" I tell her which is the truth so she lowers her eyebrow again, "Whatever you say Loser, I think you know something but if you don't want to share, then that's fine" she tell me, then she pulls out a book from her locker and walks away.

I walk towards class and see the person I both dreaded seeing but wanting to confront. I know he sees me, because he pauses, definitly contemplating whether or not to confront me, I decided to make the decision for him, so I walked up to him. "Hello Ned" I said, standing a few feet away from him. "Peter, I'm so happy to see you!" he croaked and I crossed my arms. 
"Are you really, you tried to kill me" I spit out with anger, not knowing how much it actually hurt me that he tried to, both mentally and physically. 
"Yes! When you didn't show up I thought I had killed you! I never would've forgiven myself - I'm not forgiving myself for stabbing you either - I couldn't get myself to go back to the warehouse in fear of finding your lifeless corpse!" he cried and a sting of pity hit me. 
"Why did you do it?" I ask in a low voice, almost just a whisper. 
"My family is in deep debt to some loan-shark, he threathened to get us killed if we don't pay at least half back at the end of this month and the whole thing back in two months, out of fear for my own life I found HYDRA, whom offered to  pay all of the debt if I just brought them Spider-Man - dead or alive - never in my life would I have imagined having to betray my best friend, so I backed out, and now I think both the loan-sharks and HYDRA is after me and my family, and I have probably also lost my bestfriend, as there's no way in hell you'd EVER forgive me" At some point during his story tears had started to stream down his cheeks and pity hit me like a tsunami. 

"You're right, I can't forgive - at least not now - but you're my best friend and I don't want to lose you, so I'll try to give you a second chance" I tell him and I could see he exhaled relieved. "I'll also try my best to help you, I have a job so all the money I earn I'll give to you until the loan is paid-" I was going to add more but Ned cuts me off. "Peter, that's too much, I stabbed you with a sword, and now you're trying to help me, why?" Ned asks, his voice breaking and I shrug. "That's what friends are for, also I'm trying to prevent you going rogue with a sword" I joke a bit with a smile and Ned musters a smile back. "I can also help you apply for a paid internship at Stark Industries, and the Avengers are taking care off HYDRA" I tell him and he sobs quitly and runs up to me and hugs me, I join the embrace, just happy to have my best friend back.
