Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Rick became... different that Monday. That visit to Oscorp was exciting, wonderful, and it made him realize how great this would be!! "Now, this serum is a prototype... are you positive you want to go through with this?" A concerned scientist asked, holding a vial of green liquid. Rick was introduced to what was called as the "Goblin Serum" A serum meant to enhance his strength, speed, reflexes,healing factor and his mind to super human levels. They never tested it on a human before, but they were going to eventually, why shouldn't it be him? He nodded. "My father gave you the money, didn't he?" He asked, strapping himself in to a doctor's table, four needles to be inserted in his neck, and legs. The serum also came with a suit to help stabilize the serum, as well as a flying Hovercraft.

When the serum took over it was pain that he's never felt before... then it was a strong sense of power.... he loved it! His home was large enough to hold both his glider and new suit.... and he felt on top of the world... but as the days went on, voices started appearing. His own, but it sounded higher pitched, telling him he should do something over and over again... Kill the Spider.... Get the girl... you'll be have the city like the wall crawler does now... It kept repeating. He also became consumed with random laughing fits, and then flashes of anger. The more he saw Lexi with Peter, the louder the voices talked.... no longer did he fear them. He smiled at their idea.

Peter gathered up all his money from selling his photos and allowances and piled it up, counting as soon as he got home on friday night. Not only did he have Flash trying to catch him without Lexi at his side, but she also seemed to be nagging, and telling how Spider-Man deals with things... He knew exactly how Spider-Man worked. Now he had to worry about getting a suit. A nice one. One that wasn't too big for him, or made him look like a complete dork. He gathered his money, and finally decided on his suit (with Aunt May's help. She was absolutely thrilled at this idea, and it made Peter blush a lot.) He spent his afternoons and mornings patrolling the city... it was always the same thing. Ever since the Lizard was caught, there hasn't been anything too challenging for the web slinger...

Saturday night came. He nervously put on the suit, it was formal, but not too fancy or anything like that... he cleared the living room for the pizza and movies as well as a possible dance session.... He debated whether or not to wear the Spidey suit under his fancy one... but it was safe in his room. Aunt May declared that she was going to visit a friend's house, giving Peter a smile. He loved how understanding Aunt May was. Then came the knock on the door. He looked at himself in the mirror, splashed a tiny bit of cologne on him (Uncle Ben gave it to him for his birthday), and tried desperately to fix his tie. His messy hair was a lost cause, but it fit him perfectly. He could face a whole gang of thugs and not be the tiniest bit afraid... but this was making his heart beat out of his throat.

He opened the door, and was speechless at the sight of Lexi in such a beautiful dress. He always thought she was beautiful, but she looked like a goddess there. "erm.. Hey! thought i'd dress up too... didn't want you to be too uncomfortable while i'm in my jeans and hoodie." He said with a smile, his voice breaking a bit, trying to calm himself. He stood aside from the door to let her in... Now he was second guessing the pizza and dorky movie ideas....

Peter held his breath, trying hard not to take in the perfume as he stared at her with one puffy eye. It'll get worse before it gets better, but it'll probably be good to go within a few hours. As opposed to the Lizard he fought a year ago, Flash's punch was like a pillow now that he thought about it. Peter then stared at her, trying to figure out her long story, but he knew. A smile spread across his face when she said she didn't plan on going, even though he shouldn't. He took a bite of the sandwich, thanking her with a grunt as he devoured it. Then he looked up at her, giving a laugh and shook his head. "The only girl that would like to keep a conversation with me is you... and anyone who did have an interest in my probably lost all of them after that punch to the face..." He said with a weak smile. "It's just a dance, as you said..." He trailed off, then looked up at her.

"When cleaning out Uncle Ben's boxes i found some home videos... and almost half of them are titled 'Pete and Lexi'" He said with an embarrassing laugh and smile. "Since you're skipping prom and i have no chance of going, how about we sit down at my place, buy a pizza, and since you're coming in to adult hood, you can see your childhood life all in front of you." He said, running a hand through his hair. He knew it was rather lame, but he knew that if she didn't say yes, he was going to watch them anyway... that and it would give him more time with her, and let her forget a bit about Spider-Man...

"I was being a smartass, trying to help someone not get hit. the usual" He said, rather irritated as he glared at Rick walking away, the pain from his face was not as noticeable.. "What did you do? I can take hits, Lex! you don't need to go out with that.. guy!" He realized that he was yelling, his fists clenched as he glared at the football star getting high fives, probably saying how Lexi didn't hesitate to say yes, and she blushed. He shook his head. "I got a thick head, remember? I can take a few punches... But i'm not sure if you can survive the night with him making a move on you every two seconds..." He said, touching his eye and holding back a wince. A plus side of Spider-Man's abilities: he healed much faster than regular people.

He didn't like the Rick kid. He never was a jerk to him before... But he never stopped Flash from starting fights. He stood and laugh... and he didn't like him ever since last night... for obvious reasons.

Rick Archer was talking to his fellow football players and cheerleaders, talking about how lucky he got getting Lexi Rogers. He kept glancing over at her, noticing how the Parker kid looked rather angry... He afraid of a little competition? He laughed a bit... He had an appointment at Oscorp today thanks to his father... He was going to be the first to try and new prototype serum that would give him all the powers of that Spider-Man guy, and more! Lexi would be all over him then.....

What was supposed to be a quick sweep in the city lasted much longer than Peter would have liked. There were gun shots reported by the police, and Spider-Man spent the whole night trying to track them down. With the help of police cooperation (The night shift police officers couldn't get enough of his jokes, he didn't know if it was exhaustion, or their boredom that made them laugh so hard) they found the culprits. Peter only got a couple hours of sleep, and woke up late. He dashed down the stairs after getting dressed , took a piece of toast and downed a glass of orange juice, kissed Aunt May on the cheek, and took off. he jumped on his skate board. He didn't have his driver's license and when he couldn't use his web shooters, his trusty board was by his side. He barely made it to class on time, and throughout the day he couldn't stop thinking about the problem he was in...

Kissing Lexi last night was fantastic... but she thought it was someone who wasn't Peter... If he told her who he was, would she laugh? vomit? think he's joking? be furious? He kept this from her longer than he should if he did want to tell her... maybe he would understand that he was protecting those that meant the most to him...?

When he came to he realized that class ended, and he was in the hall, walking to his next class. His spider senses went crazy all of the sudden, but he knew what was about to happen. With a small sigh he was pushed hard in to a locker, not feeling pain, but giving a fake wince as Flash Thompson, his most hated person in his life walk by, laughing, Rick Archer by his side, smiling back at him. He guessed he figured out who Lexi Roger's best friend was... He picked up his backpack, and merged back in to the crowd.

As lunch came Peter didn't have time to bring anything from his home, so he bought a soda from the vending machine and a package of fruit snacks. A feast for a true super hero... He scanned the school yard for Lexi when he heard yelling erupt. "What where you're going, you dumb kid!" Flash Thompson yelled. There was a younger kid staring at the ground, his lunch all over the ground, stepped on by Flash int he collision. It was obvious Flash ran in to him while trying to catch a football.

"You going to say something, kid?" He said to him, and pushing him a bit. Peter couldn't take it. He made his way through the forming crowd. "Back off, Flash." Peter said to him, standing in between the young kid and the giant senior. The crowd laughed. "Oh, hey Parker! Rick and I were going to visit you later, but it seems that you've made your way to us." Flash said. "Look, just let the kid go, alright?"

"Not a chance. He got food all over my jacket."

Peter couldn't resist himself. "Oh yeah, this jacket... I was going to ask you about it! Do they make it in men's or...?" He asked as if it were an honest question. Flash didn't like that. Peter could have easily dodged the flying punch. He could have countered and made him run in to a tree. The crowd would have been cheering for him... You owe the world your gifts. You just have to figure out how to use them

His gifts weren't going to be used to stoop to his level. And with that mind set, Peter fell to the ground, his ears ringing, and the side of his head swelling and numb. The crowd laughed, and Flash made his exit. Peter stumbled to his feet. Some looking sympathetic, but not doing anything to help. Other laughed at how much of a dork he was... The freshman was still there, staring at him. Peter pulled out his wallet and pulled out five dollars. "here... for your lunch..." He said with a small smile on his face. The kid took it gratefully, saying thank you, and ran off.

Peter spat blood on to the ground, picked up his backpack and his two dollar lunch, and looked through a swollen eye for Lexi.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Peter and Gwen Stacey (Jones Sparrow and kittenlover)

" I know... I figured she'd try to get here." He didn't talk about how he saw Tim melt... he didn't know if that was the woman playing tricks on him, or that ti was real... He had no idea where to look, how to find her, or if he could even fight her.... How was he going to save this city? "What happened? Are you hurt? Is your family okay?" He needed to start somewhere, but now Tim was out of the question.. and Gwen seemed to be the only one affected by this woman...

The Adventurer(Jones Sparrow and WhiteLily)

((haha yeah, that would be better! I knew it would be a long trip, but not that long! hahaha))

"Then it's settled! to the Himalayas, but not without traveling through some other countries first, including India." He looked down at her, putting an arm around her and kissing the top of her head. Paolo smiled and nodded. "Alright, well before you start your journey you will have to sit in this boat for about half an hour as I take you to the mainlands." He said with yet another smile, then giving orders to his small fisherman crew.

Ben hugged Aria close, and put his mouth to her ear. "How are you feeling?" he asked her. He knew this had to be hard on her, and praying he won't do anything to make her regret this either.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Spider-Man hung on to the side of lexi's house, listening in to the conversation. He want going to leave me I with another guy... Was it jealousy, or the fear he could hurt her? He didn't know. As he listened he got rather offended at the pajamas part... This was expensive material! And he had to patch it up every time he got it scratched or burned of stained! Then his heart sunk when he heard her saying that half her heart belonged to someone else... But then it starting beating louder in his ears... She was attracted to me? Peter Parker, the dork who everyone at school picked on... The guy who was secretly her other crush? He didn't know whether he should be overjoyed, or guilty that he hasn't told her... He would have to some time... He couldn't stand having her fall for a stranger rather than himself... He didn't want to be wearing a suit for her to just kiss him because she could...

He heard the door close, and looked around to see a confused, and angry Rick staring at the door. "That's right... Walk away..." Peter muttered as he saw him storm back to his car... He sighed, still sticking to the side of the house.... He would do a quick sweep around the city, then go to bed... A joyful day at school lay ahead of him. It wouldn't take long before rick out two and two together, and he would get harassed by the whole football team soon enough.. The worst part is that he had to take the hits. He wasn't going to use his powers for selfish reasons. With great power, comes great responsibility.

"ahh, no lunch or dinner for me. I'm on a diet." He said lightly, patting his stomach as she grabbed on to him. "Alright, hang on!" He leapt off the ground, and then flicked his free hand to produce a web, and they swung around up in to the sky. She held him tight... hey, Peter wasn't complaining. He tried to take his time, but it was a very short distance. As he landed in front of her house, glancing around to make sure that they were quite alone. he gave a small laugh at her remark. Her fingertips sent electricity down his body, the feeling on his chest felt incredible.

He was grateful that she respected his identity, although felt guilty that she knew nothing about him. Their lips touched again, and he didnt know if it were spider senses or peter senses, but his arms went around her gently. her leg went against his, and then she felt her soft warm tongue. He tilted his head, returning the passionate kiss. Peter always wondered what it would be like for Lexi and Peter to share a kiss... and not even his mind could expect it to be more amazing than this. If this were to continue... he would have to tell her at some point...

But at this moment, his tongue was playing with hers, her body was pressed against his, and he wanted it to last for as long as it could. Then a car door slammed, and Peter turned to the noise. It was one of the populars. Rick Archer squinted to see if his eyes could get a better view. Peter let go of Lexi, looking at her, half of his face still visible, and he gave her a grin. "Try not to get in to too much trouble. Sitting on your roof and breaking curfew will be enough." With one last kiss to her lips he pulled his mask back down, and shot out a web and he was off.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Peter watched the excitement in her eyes as she went on and on about the masked man... her eyes twinkling and her mouth smiling at just the thought of him... He couldn't blame her... He was exciting, witty, brave, putting others in front of him... but then he remembered that HE was that very same guy! There was small talk, jokes, and remembering the good old days when their only care in the world was playing pretend in the living room. Dinner was amazing, and when Lexi left, Peter used the excuse that he was exhausted from today's painting, but in reality wanted to make sure Lexi made it home safe as Spider-Man... He would never admit it, but he usually kept an eye on her while she went to go on errands, or traveled alone at night... Not in a stalker kind of way. She was his best friend, and did not want her to get hurt.

Dawning the suit, made sure his door was locked, and climbed out the window, shooting a web and zipping through skyscrapers. The night had a slight cold breeze, but it was rather refreshing. It didn't take long for Spider-Man to hear screaming and shouting in an alleyway. and to his horror, Lexi was being held by a group of men. Muggers

Spider-Man hung on a web upside down, looking at the two men who were holding Lexi, one holding a knife at her, and other doing a terrible job at looking out. "Just hand over your money, cards, and other jewelry, and no one gets hurt..." The man with the knife said to her. Spider-Man was still hanging upside down right above him. He casually plucked the knife out of his hand, and examined it. "Wow, top grade muggers here... What, you rob a pizzeria for silverware before this?" He asked, simply snapping the knife in half.

"Oh shit!" The man no longer holding the knife swung a punch. Spider-Man easily dodged. "Why is it always a punch for our first conversation with you guys?" He asked, swinging upside down and then releasing to do a flip and a kick to the head. "A compliment on my upper body strength or how blue and red looks good on me would really make my night." He said, shooting a web at the man farthest away, and pulling him towards him. Momentum had him flying over here, Spider-Man clothes lined him. He turned to the two still holding Lexi.

"So will it be a two on one, use her as a hostage, or put your hands up?" He asked them. They looked at each other, then dropped Lexi. Spider-Man immediately jumped on one of their shoulders, and pushing off him to grab the other man's head, doing a flip and doing a body slam. "Woo! I could be on WWE!" Spider-Man said, looking at the man who was trying to crawl away. He shot webs at his hands and feet, immobilizing him. After he tied the rest of them up, he looked at Lexi.

"Am i going to have to follow you everywhere?" He asked jokingly, helping her up. "You need a ride? I think i remember the address." he asked, holding out a hand for her to take.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

"Yeah, I'm fine..." he said, showing fake pain although he was completely fine now, especially when Lexi laid on top of him. He rubbed his head, looking at the ground. "I'm surprised my thick head didn't dent the floor." Peter grinned. "How about you? Are you okay?" Peter asked, getting back up, his back side covered in paint. Aunt May walked in, looking around at the messy room. "Oh my! Peter" She said giving him a look. He should have seen that coming. She would never yell at Lexi, and very rarely yelled at Peter... but since this used to be Uncle Ben's study....

"I know, I know, I'll clean all up before i got to bed tonight, i promise." he assured her, grabbing a wet towel from her arms. "I swear sometimes i think you two are 12 again..." Aunt May said sternly but gave a hint of a smile. As she left, Peter looked around the room. "Wow... one side looks great... the other looks like a piece from the art museum..." Peter said, examining the neatly painted wall, and across from it had paint splatters all over it. He looked over at Lexi, giving a shrug. "Gives the room character..."

He wiped the paint off his arms. Glancing over at Lexi again. "I know i've been saying this all day... but... you actually do have something on your face right there..." He pointed to his cheek bone, smiling. He wanted to take off his shirt to wipe off some of the paint sticking to his back, but he didn't want to make it awkward... did she even know that he had muscle? probably not. It wouldn't surprise him. He wasnt exactly the kid who looked like he could flip cars or punch a hole through a locker.

"So... Did the Spider-Man guy show up last night? Or was he a no show?" Peter asked, already knowing the answer but had interest like any person would if they found out a super hero agreed to an interview.
