Orphan Spider

Chapter 24

I look a little surprised but he smiles and puts a finger over his mouth. I smile back and give him a hug. I then sit down next to him and we talk for about 30 minutes until he has to leave. The time is 8:58, so I still have time to do a little homework.

When it's time to leave I head towards the tower. The walk there is nice and calm, but of course, that didn't last very long. I pass an alleyway where I see a guy, probably my age, being held up by three guys, who's probably the same age or a little older than me. I hide behind a dumpster to see what's going on.

"Leave me alone!" The guy says, but the big guys just laugh and taunt him. 'God, this world is really filled with assholes everywhere...' I think to myself. I need to stop this before anything happens.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" I say and they all turn around.

"What did you say punk?!" One of the guys yell. I glare at them.

"I said. Leave him alone." I say with a calm, but terrifying voice, kind of like Mr. Thomas. I see a little fear in their eyes but then they start to run at me. They try to hit me but I avoid their attacks. I can't really use my super strength, so I pick up the top of a trash bin and hit them all in the head. Not that hard, of course, but hard enough so they can't fight.

realizing they can't win the fight they hurry off, but not before one of them yells at me.

"You will pay for that, you little bitch!"

I continue to glare at them until they're gone, then I turn towards the guy. He looks a little buff so I'm surprised he gets picked on. He's sitting on the ground and I kneel down in front of him.

"You okay?" He nods. I walk over to him and hold my hand out so he can get up, which he takes. "What's your name?"

"Eddie, *Ahem* Edward Brock..." He says with a small smile. "You're... Peter Parker... right...?"

"How do you know my name?" I ask surprised.

"I saw you at breakfast this morning. I... uhh... also live at 'New Haven Orphanage'."

"Oh, I see. Wait, aren't you suppose to be at school?"

"Well... yes... but I got stopped by those douches and they tried to rob me. God, I hate New York sometimes. But thanks for the save."

"O-oh... umm... no problem..." We walk out of the alleyway and we say goodbye.

"I'll see you later Peter!" He says, then he runs off, probably towards his school. I smile a little and start to walk towards the tower. As I enter the elevator, I menatlly  prepare myself for what's about to come.

"Hello Peter. Boss is in his lab. Would you like me to take you there?" Friday asks.

"Umm... Yeah." I say nervously and the elevator goes up. After a couple of seconds it *dings* and the doors open. I carefully step out and see Mr. Stark at one of the desks and he's working on something. But he turns around when he hears me come in.

"Oh, hey Pete." He says with a smile and a little wave. "Could you come over here for a second? I have a little surprise for you." I look confused but walk over to him. There on the desk is...a...

"..."

A Suit...

"Well, what do you think?" Mr. Stark asks with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Is this...?"

"A Spider-Man suit. I thought since your old one was...uhh... a... little ripped and... uhh... 'old fashion'... I could make you a new one..." Mr. Stark says and I hug him. "Woah kiddo, watch the super strengh."
