Being a new transfer student in High School in New York was rough. You missed the suburban life and the midsize town. The bustling and business to New York was jarring, people were completely different, and so were the schools. Joining late in the year, you made friends with Peter Parker and his friend, Harry Osborn. One day on a trip, while Peter is taking pictures of Mary Jane for the paper, he's bitten by a genetically enhanced spider. Thinking nothing of it, Peter shrugs it off unaware of the effects soon to come. Unbeknownst to you, the spider escapes the lab it was raised in, making it to the outside world only to be eaten by a bird. Walking out of the university science department lays a bird that can't seem to fly or move. Feeling bad for it, you walk towards it and pick it up to put it somewhere out of the way. The coos in pain before attacking with its beak and talons, digging in and tearing flesh. You get medical attention and everything seems to be normal, that is until college rolls around. (Author here! This is based on the Spiderman 2 events with some details altered for my story like that Otto is a professor and is divorced before he can even think about the reactor. I also have to give protag some powers to create some inner struggle along with their everyday struggles. Please keep in mind updates may be irregular and that once I'm at a good place I'll publish to AO3. It's also been a long time since I've wrote a fanfic and I'll try to avoid using Y/N and leave their attributes ambiguous. Hope yall enjoy it and if you have a potential idea let me know, I'd love to hear :))
