Peter Parker- Whumptober 2019

Electrocution

(Peter's P.O.V)

I know it was dumb.

Okay, I know.

But when your bully keeps taunting you, all you want to do is prove them wrong, so that's what I did.

And thank God for Spider healing otherwise I would be as dead as a doorknob right now. 

-

I was out with Ned and MJ.

We were talking at the park, then I see Flash walk in.

I ignore him, and carry on with my conversation, but Flash obviously didn't want that.

"Hey Penis," he says walking over, his friends all around him laughing and smiling about something.

"I dare you to climb that electrical pole," he says pointing to the pole a few meters away.

"Flash, that could kill me," I say in a 'are you dumb' tone.

All his friends laugh with him as Flash nods saying, "maybe, but are you too much of a pussy to do it," he taunts.

"Peter don't. You actually could die," Ned says standing up and walking beside me, MJ is quickly there as well nodding in agreement.  

I look to the electrical pole, Ned, MJ then Flash and his group.

I feel myself thinking about everything, if I don't do this, Flash would make fun of me for the rest of my life.

But I could get hurt.

But then again, I am Spiderman.

I hand my phone to MJ and walk toward the pole, I can hear Ned and MJ telling me not to while the others laugh.

I ignore it all. 

As I reach the electrical pole I look up and see the live wires.

This will be fine, just get to the top and don't grab the wires.

Simple.

I grab the rungs on the side of the pole and start climbing, halfway there and I remember my web shooters are in my bag, fantastic. 

Nearly there, I can see the electricity running in the wires with my enhanced sight. 

I am at the top, it's windy.

Obviously nowhere near as bad on the top of buildings buildings but without my shooters there I don't feel all to safe.

I look down and see Flash walking toward the pole, I frown not understanding what he is doing.

Suddenly the pole starts to shake, I wobble slightly and on instinct grab the thing closest to me, that just happens to be the live wire. 

I can feel the electricity pour into my veins, the pain that joins it is immense.

I feel a scream erupt from my mouth and my muscles spasm, darkness seems to wrap me up as I feel air all around me, before nothing but pain. 

(MJ's P.O.V)

I try to stop Peter from climbing the pole but of course the loser doesn't listen.

I tense as he grows higher and further away.

I hold his phone close to me, ready for call for help if needed.

Of course he is Spiderman but that doesn't stop him from getting hurt. Or worse dying. 

He is now at the top and I have never wanted the loser to be right here, next to me then now.

I see Flash walk over to the pole, but all my focus is on Peter, balancing dangerously at the top; close to the live wire.
