Ok, I'm not going to actually write the bit about him becoming Spiderman, you know when he got bitten by the spider. It's because you all know the origin story anyway, right? So I'm just going to say that it happened about two weeks after Wade left to go with the weird man. He's been Spiderman for about 3 and a half months so he is pretty YouTube famous.

Peter POV

I hadn't seen Wade in a month and I was kind of worried. All we'd done is talk through our mind link a few times but not even that many times.

I was starting to think he'd found someone better and left me.

I wouldn't blame him though. He could do so much better than an annoying kid like me.

But I still loved him. And missed him.

---Time skip---
I was sitting in Spanish with Ned, trying not to fall asleep with boredom, when I suddenly felt really worried. The worry was pressing in on my mind from the mind link, growing with every second.

My senses were overwhelmed with this sense of unease and hurt as I tried not to let it show on my face.

My breathing became ragged and I couldn't seem to get enough oxygen into my lungs. Black dots were clouding my vision as I stood up shakily in my place and ran to the door.

I ran through the halls to the toilets where I could get myself together.

Unfortunately, my vision suddenly went black and I fell to the floor.

Although I had fainted, I could feel what was going on around me. However, I didn't seem to be at school anymore.

I seemed to be looking through a curved window? And I could feel my lungs aching, begging for sweet oxygen. I could feel pain all over. It kind of felt like millions of different cuts and scratches were opening up all over my body.

I could feel that I was strapped to a table and that I was praying for somebody, anybody to come and save me from the pain.

My vision went black again and a voice began resonating through my mind,

"Pete, hey Baby Boy, never forget that I love you and I'm with you till the end of the line ok, the end of the li-"

I suddenly slipped back down into the dark abyss that was my mind.

"WADE?!" I mentally screamed "Where are you? Are you ok?"

I waited for a response.

I waited and waited.

But it never came.

Tears welled in my eyes as I frantically searched the darkness for a light, some flicker of hope, to help me. The tears trickled down my face as I realised that there was no light. There was no one. I was alone.

Wade was gone.

I made one more futile attempt to get his attention, though I knew he was gone.

"Wade?" His name sounded quiet as the boys broken voice echoed through the darkness.

The word became his mantra as he tried to resist the darkness that seemed to be traveling from his vision to his heart. Engulfing it in cold darkness.

Things will never be the same.

---Time skip---
When I finally opened my eyes i closed them straight back up. I was in a room with bright light shining in all directions.

I felt streams of tears covering my face and making cold trails in the light breeze.

I sat up once my eyes had adapted and scanned the room.

I was in the Principal's office.

A voice behind me said, "Good morning sleeping beauty" in a condescending voice.

I whipped my head around to face the voice and saw Tony Stark. Wait, wait, wait...

Tony. Freaking. Stark. My idol since I was tiny is in my school. Oh my God.

I reached down to my bag and buried his and Bruce Banner's books deep, deep down at the bottom of my bag. I kind of, sort of, annotated and improved their research? That's kind of embarrassing.

"Mr-Mr Stark?! What are you doing here?!"

"I just came in to talk about the Stark Internship candidates with the Principle when he has to attend to something and then they bring in the main candidate unconscious. Really, I came here to invite you to come and work for me so I just thought how convenient it was."

"Wait, you want ME? Why?"

"Because, kid, you are the smartest kid at this school and quite frankly, the best option. I also don't really want you to go and work at Oscorp or something because then they might become better than Stark Industries, though between you and me, I seriously doubt that that would happen."

"Okayyyyyy. When do I start? I can't wait to tell my Aunt and Uncle!"

"You can start tomorrow. When you get there we can discuss hours and wages."

"I get paid?"

"No shit, Sherlock."

The bell began to ring and I had to leave, it was the end of the day already?! How long was I out...

I ran out of the doors and stood waiting for Ned, waiting to tell him the good news. I was so happy that I had forgotten what had happened earlier completely.

Haha, the world sure likes to crush happiness.

Ned and MJ walked out of the doors towards me, faces full of worry and relief.

"Hey, are you ok Peter? You looked pretty bad earlier." Questioned Ned.

"I'm... fine. Don't worry about me. It was..." I trailed off in pain, my memories flooding back. Tears were threatening to spill over again.

"Don't push him Ned, m sure he'll tell if in his own time."

"Thanks for caring though guys. I appreciate it."

I suddenly remembered my encounter with Mr Stark,

"Oh my God, guys!!! I've got the Stark Internship!!! I'm going to work with Mr Stark!!!"

"You're so lucky Pete!"

"Wow, well done. For an idiot like you, that's pretty cool."

"Are you walking back with us today Pete?"

I looked away from them. They looked so happy and innocent and if I said no they might be disappointed in me.

"Sorry guys, May wants me to go and grab some stuff from the store. I don't want to keep you guys waiting so I'm just going to go alone."

"Oh, ok Pete." They said in unison.

"Bye guys."

"Bye Peter."

I ran into a back alleyway and quickly put my suit on. This is the part of my day that I look forward to the most.
