Apodyopsis

Chapter 1

The day that tony and Steve came to adopt an unsuspecting Peter Parker from the orphanage that he was staying in was one of the best days of the boys life. He was only 6 but he had already experienced so much hardship. His parents died when he was 3 and he then went to stay with his aunt and uncle, sadly he was only able to stay with them for a year before they too died. It was a dreary day and they had all gone out to dinner at aunt May's favorite diner to celebrate aunt may's and uncle Ben's anniversary. On their way home it had started to rain and their car was hit by a drunk diver, crushing the front of the vehicle. Peter was saved due to where the car had hit and his car seat and he was once again left alone, but this time there were no relatives left to care for the four year old.

The orphanage wasn't all that bad though, the caretakers where caring and the other children weren't horrible. Peter had never had many friends, but that was more due to his social awkwardness then the other children avoiding him. One of his friends was a small boy with strawberry blonde hair and green eyes named Max, they were the same age and had become close after only a week of peter being there. You wouldn't catch max without Peter or vise versa, that was until max was adopted. Their goodbye was filled with tears and lots of hugs, but in the end max still had to go. Peter was down in the dumps for a month or two afterwards, but then Iron Man and Captan America came in and adopted him. That would brighten any young child's mood.

It took a while for peter to warm up to the two. He half expected them to leave him too, like all the other people in his life seemed to do. They didn't though and after a year peter was calling Tony dad and Steve pops. It was nice, having parents and getting multitudes of attention from them both. Peter had a warmth in his chest that wasn't going away anytime soon and a hole that had been left after his parents had died had finally been filled. Dad and Pop's weren't his only family either, there was Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Sam, and Thor. It was just a great big group of people who all loved and protected peter and it was just a really nice change from what Peter had before.

School was okay, it was a private school though and he had to wear a uniform. That had its good points and bad points though, he never had to think about what to wear in the morning but he also wasn't able to express himself and it was a bit uncomfortable if he was being honest. Still, school wasn't that bad. The classes were really engaging and he had made a few friends, Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn were his two closest friends. They had met in 6th grade and had all become best friends by the end of middle school and during their freshman year Harry and Gwen had gotten together. Peter would be lying if he said that he wasn't a little upset by this, he had a small crush on Gwen, but they seemed happy and peter liked his friends too much to try and split them up.

High school was worse then middle school by far though and not because his two best friends were dating, no, it was because the bullying had started not too far into his freshmen year. Flash, a grade a asshole and pretty much the stereotypical high school bully. He was on the football team (Peter didn't know if he was the captain or not since he wasn't the least bit interested in school sports) had a huge group of friends, his girlfriend was a cheerleader, and he picked on the nerdy kid who coincidentally happened to be peter. Lucky him. Peter didn't care much though, the occasional shove into various things (including a locker on multiple occasions), things getting thrown at him, and other childish things didn't really put a damper on his mood. It might have, if he didn't have overwhelming support from his best friends and family, but he did and so having a low self of steam was damn near impossible.

Things didn't start going downhill for him until a field trip in the fall of his junior year. At first it seemed that things were going good after that, he had gotten superpowers, a new friend, and the field trip was just a generally fun experience. But that was just the calm before the storm it seemed.
