Spider-Man: Dark Web

Chapter 2: What's happening to me?

As Peter walks through his neighbourhood, he continues to study the spider bite. Noticing it still hurts and looks to be getting worse. "Why is this happening to me?" Peter asks himself as he looks at the bite. 

As Peter looks at the bite, his head vibrates, almost as if it was sixth sense warning him. "Is that him?" A voice asked. "Yeah, that's the little shit!" Peter turns around as two thugs approach him from behind. "Yeah, that's him. The one that fucked Dan's wrist. You're dead meat!"

One of the thugs charges Peter with his metal pipe, but Peter grabs it mid-swing. "Come on, guys. Is this necessary?" Peter asks as he throws the thug aside with no problem. The second thug tries to take a swing but just like the first thug, Peter blocks the attack, this time grabbing this thug's wrist. "Oh." As Peter grabs the thug's wrist, he tightens his grip crushing the thug's wrist, reducing his bones to dust. "Just leave me alone!" Peter fights back as he punches the thug in the jaw, punching it off. 

Peter stares in shock, unable to move. "I-I-I-" Peter stuttered, unable to understand how he did that. The surviving thug looks at his friend's jawless face. "Stay away from me! STAY AWAY YOU FREAK!!!" The thug begins to run for his life. 

Peter slowly approaches the thug that he punched. He was still breathing, just faintly. Tears slowly fall down his face. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Peter whispered in fear, crying as the thug died in front of him. Sirens can be heard approaching and Peter runs for it, making his way through the alleyway. 

Peter looks around frantically trying to find an easier way out. He thinks quickly and tries to climb up the wall. He succeeds as he climbs the wall higher fully reaching the roof. He looks around the neighbourhood and takes in the view. He feels his head vibrate again as he turns around and sees two police officers approaching the body. He takes this time to turn and run. 

Peter manages to get away, however his mind is plagued with the image of the thug. He couldn't understand how that happened but he kept on moving. As he walked down the street, someone ran into him, a man with medium-length blonde hair and black-rimmed sunglasses. "Hey, kid! Stop him! He's got my money!" The storekeeper called. Peter ignored him and let the man go. "Sorry, pal. I already got my own set of problems to deal with." 

The storekeeper ran until he reached Peter. "Are you serious? He got away with my money, do you not under..." Peter interrupts the storekeeper. "No, I do understand. I just missed the part where that was my problem." Peter continues walking down the street as the storekeeper yells at Peter. 

Meanwhile, back with May and Ben. "He's going to get himself in trouble out there. It's already getting dark, I'm going to look for him." Ben stands up from his seat and grabs his coat. "Ben please, just let him be. I'll give him a call and find out where he is. He's a good boy, he'll keep out of danger."

May walks over to Ben and takes his hand. "He's growing up, Ben. He needs to learn to face the world. He can't do that if his Uncle Ben is saving him. You taught him well, Ben. He can look after himself." 

Suddenly the lights cut out. May yells out of fear and Ben immediately jumps into protection mode. "Who's there? What do you want?" Ben calls out, grabbing a nearby baseball bat. A gun appears from the shadows. "I just need the car. Get out of the way and hand over the keys." Ben stands his ground. "I don't think so, sonny boy. You'll have to take it from me."

The man in the shadow pulls the trigger and shoots Ben in the chest. "BEN!!!" May screams in bloody murder. The man runs for the car keys in Ben's jacket pocket but May tries to stop him only to be met with the same fate as her husband. "May..." Ben weakly whispers out as he takes his last breath. The once loving and caring couple, May and Ben Parker bound by marriage lived and died together.
