Deception

[01]

Friday|10:30 pm

Today has been a slow day for Peter.

School was, well school.

He's on patrol at the moment swinging through the streets New York.

“Karen is there really nothing?”

“No, at the moment nobody is in need of help.” came his AI's robotic reply.

“Thanks anyways” Peter said while sighing.

“You're welcome Peter”

Peter being 15 and bored out of his mind just wants to save someone, anyone, be useful to them.

After about 10 minutes of mindless swinging Karen alerted him of someone in danger. When he was given the coordinates he was rounding the corner of a shopping center when he heard a scream coming from the convenience store down the block. The location where the coordinates led to. Convenience stores are usually open till late at night because you know, they're not called convenience stores for no reason.

Peter barged into the store and what he saw before him made him want to throw up. The person who he could assume was the store clerk was lying on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood. They were completely unrecognizable, their face was bashed in and their limbs were cut off. Just to the left of the body was a bloody hammer. He looked away from the scene and turned to look for the culprit. Said culprit was just a few feet away already looking at him. Blood was all over their face and clothes. She was looking directly at Peter and smiled at him, as if there wasn't a body lying right between them on the floor. It sent chills down his spine.

Peter was in a state of shock, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't believe what he just saw. The women clearly seeing Spiderman in a state of shock decided to use it to her advantage and started walking towards him. She stopped right in front of the dead body. She leaned down ever so slowly to pick up the bloody hammer.

The only reason Peter was able to return from the shock was because his spidey sense telling him of oncoming danger. He immediately looked up to see the women charging at him, murder weapon in hand. He was able to move to the side and trip the women causing her to fall on the ground just in time before the hammer was able to come into contact with him. While she was on the ground Peter webbed her up before she was able to get up.

After having Karen call the cops to have this dealt with he swung home as quickly as he could, as if the decapitated body was going to follow him.

Now Peter was no longer wishing that anybody needed saving. He wanted to be bored. He wanted to continue swinging mindlessly around New York.

So that's what he did.
