I don't even know where I was going with this one, but here it is. In its glorious hideousness.

It was Wednesday. A totally normal Wednesday with a guest speaker coming in. And Peter was no where to be seen. Ned didn't think anything of it since Peter is always late.

But it was when they were called to the auditorium that he started to worry. This was late, even for Peter. "Hey loser, where's Peter?" MJ asked. Even MJ was concerned and she doesn't give a shit for anyone. All Ned could do was just shrug and went to find a seat.

The speaker gave an introduction and played a short video. Except that the video stopped. And a live feed came onto the screen. 

The staff and presenter were extremely confused and scrambling to get the video back. Meanwhile, the rest of the school was looking curiously at the screen.

It was a fairly empty room, with a metal chair at the middle and a ominous whip in the corner. Then movement stirs in the room. Two men in black came in, dragging a unconscious person into the room.

Students murmured, not at all knowing what was happening. The person was placed on the chair and handcuffed. Then a light was turned on. The person in the chair was none other than Spider-Man.

Audible gasps were heard across the room. Ned just sat there in horror. That was his best friend. That was Peter. MJ just went back to her book, for she had nothing to do with Spider-Man and his shenanigans.

"So word on the street is that you know Tony Stark" one of the goons said to Peter. "Yeah, nice guy, sarcastic, fun to be around, you should meet him" Peter said. "I wouldn't be making any commentary if I were you" they said. "You'll do what, hurt me? Please, your mama could do better than this".

Goon #1 then punched Peter in the gut. "If this is all you got, then I can do this all day". Goon #2 then punched Peter in the ribs. A sickening crack could be heard. Students continued to look in horror and some even crying.

Their friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was being tortured in front of their very eyes.

"All we need is the security codes to Stark Tower and we'll let you go" Goon #1 grunted. "Bold of you to assume that I even know the codes". "Maybe we can negotiate. Your identity or the codes".

The eyes on the mask suddenly widened. "Your pick Spider-Man". Things were now getting interesting. Ned knew how much Peter did to protect his identity. Now it was at risk.

The school remained glued to the screen, partly wanting to know who he really was. At this point, even MJ was paying attention.

"F*ck you" is all Peter said. "Identity it is then" Goon #2 then pulled his mask off. Silence filled the room. Even the teachers stopped and stared in horror. As when the mask was pulled off, one Peter Parker was revealed.

There was silence as everyone was staring at Peter. Scratch marks littered his face with black eye to compliment it. "How do you feel now?" Goon #2 sneered. "You know, you should stop paying attention to the mouth and look for the hands.

Peter then snapped the handcuffs. "At this point, people were screaming either in delight or horror, none of the them processing that Peter was Spider-Man. Flash most of all. He just sat there, regretting all his life choices.

One of the goons tried to get the guns by the door. "What do you think your doing? It's rude to attack your guest". Peter tackled him down and webbed him to the floor.

The other goon must of ran out brain cells because he decided that he could fight Peter head on. He charged toward Peter, trying to knock him down.

"Hey bull, I'm not the matador calm down". Peter just stopped him and threw him at the wall, leaving a large crack in the stone wall and the goon unconscious.

Then he just walked out.

No special quips or anything. Just walked out like he was leaving the store. The room, well, it was chaotic.

Everyone was talking about. "I knew it" MJ said calmly as she got back into her book. Ned then tried to call Peter. He actually picked up.

"What's up Ned?" Peter asked.

"Are you ok?"

"Of course I'm ok, why wouldn't I be?"

"Just don't come to school ok?"

"Why?"

"Because.." Ned didn't finish. For Peter walked into the auditorium, dressed in normal clothing.

Peter then looked up at the school. Everybody just sat there, mouths reaching the floor. "What happened? You guys look like you've just seen a ghost". Flash then spoke up.

"What the heck Parker?!"

Well, there's that.
To be honest, this sounded better in my head.
If your here, you actually read this mess and you deserve a medal.
Sorry if Peter seemed to get out of it easily. As part of the P.P.P.S, I don't have it in me to have him getting multiple stab and bullet wounds. It's just not fair to our smol bean.

Peace out and stay alive!
