Peter Parker

Hide it's too dangerous here. Those were my first thoughts when I woke up late in the evening. My spidey-sense was ringing off the charts having me look over my shoulder and around my dark room. I scaled the wall searching for the threat but I found nothing out of the ordinary. Yet my mind yells at me to hightail it out of there.

With no control of my own body, I back up the required necessities for the sudden trip. Money, clothes, and most importantly my suit. I climb out of my widow and out into the cool spring air without looking back.

Weeks later I find myself in a small house in the country side of New York. For three days I've traveled from busy city to the peaceful county. I then found a nice house by the edge of the forest. The neighbors were thirty minutes away so I had my privacy. I even gotten a small job behind the register for the local market so money wasn't the problem.

The problem that I had was myself. My spidey-senses were acting strangely. My body refused to leave the house after dark. My room is covered in nothing but webbing and I would sleep in a cocoon like nest filled with pillows and blankets. As for my appetite, I really don't want to talk about more or less describe it.

What am I even doing here? I should be back hone with Aunt May who is probably worried sick. I left without even saying goodbye. My body just went on autopilot once my mind deemed my home was unsafe for me.

Protect. Is what echoes in my head. Protect what exactly? Nothing made any sense. My powers must be going haywire I thought. I just hoped that this would just go away soon so I could return to my aunt's side.

A few months has passed since I left Queens. I missed home and yet my body rejects the idea of leaving. I am afraid of the outside world. The only places I go to is either work or home and that is it. On my off days I'd stay cooped up in my den unmoving unless it involves food or shower.

One day after showering I made a disturbing discovery. While standing in front of my body mirror trying to put a pair of pants on I noticed the firmness of my lower abdomen. Did I gain weight? I wondered. It was a bit unusual for me to gain so much weight in so little time due to my high metabolism. My stomach wasn't very big, in fact if I had a baggy shirt on it would go unnoticed.

Unconsciously my right hand found its way up to my stomach, slowly caressing it. What is going on with me!? I wanted answers. Things were just not adding up. Usually I'd go to Dr B or Tony for help but I had no way of contacting them.

I sighed heading to my nest. I crawl into it and stared up at the ceiling wondering how everyone was doing. To be honest I thought Tony would've found me by now. I saw Tony as a uncle/father/ mentor figure. And Bruce as an uncle/ councilor. The Avengers were like a one big, odd happy, family to me really. Yeah we had our ups and downs but when it really matters we all come together to solve the problem.

"I wonder what Wade's doing?"I mumbled.

Deadpool and I haven't spoken since...that night. It just felt a bit awkward to approach him after that so I avoided him. Just the thought of Wade made my heart ache and yearn for his presence. I wanted him here with me, in my nest, with his muscular arms wrapped protectively around me. I wanted his touch, his scent, to hear his voice.

Never had I felt so strongly about anyone. Not even towards Gwen or MJ. Yes, Gwen and I were in love once but that love died years ago. As for MJ it was all about her than "us". And yet when I'm with Wade I could be both Spiderman and Peter Parker. I curl into myself as silent tears fall down my face. I'm afraid, I want answers, and most importantly I need Wade.

"Wade, what's happening?"
