14: A Green And Red Problem [02]

—

General Ross and Peter stared at each other for a few seconds, their expression unreadable. Former because he was a trained soldier, and latter because he wore a mask.

"Hmm," Ross hummed, looking him over. "Who are you?"

Peter instantly replied, his voice different due to the voice modulator.

"Spider-Man."

Ross just looked at him for a few seconds, sighed, and then turned to She-Hulk.

"Jennifer Walters," he called out, and she stiffened. "That was quite reckless of you to just jump out like that. Without a plan no less."

Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, chuckled nervously.

"Come on, General." She spoke. "You know I had to do this."

"Not you alone," he said coldly before he looked at his daughter. "You were supposed to go with Betty."

There was some bitterness in General Ross' tone. Back when Banner Hulked out and destroyed the lab, making the gamma radiations go crazy and hit Betty, she got injured, and to top it off, Bruce's blood got in her wound, turning her into a red-colored version of Hulk. He had been so angry. But Betty had managed to calm him down and asked for training. Ross had no other option but to let her train.

Banner, though, he'd been on the run since then.

And that irked Ross quite the wrong way that Ross continued his experiments; he even 'brought' one of Banner's relatives to see if genes played a role or not.

Well, She-Hulk was the result of that.

Spider-Man was going to walk away, but Ross stopped him.

"And where are you going, young man?"

Spider-Man stopped and tilted his head to meet Ross' eyes.

"I'm sorry?" Spider-Man sounded quite surprised. "Since when was I entitled to follow your orders, General?"

Ross raised an eyebrow.

"Then why are you running away?"

"Are you dumb?" Spider-Man asked, sounding genuinely curious. "I'm not Bruce; I don't need to run. Neither should he have, in my opinion. He could've turned you into mush anytime. Easily."

The tension in the air grew tense. Betty stood in her spot, stiffened, and so was She-Hulk.

Ross frowned; not an easy target, eh?

'Let's see what you do after I find information on you.' he thought with a cold glint in his eyes.

 

"You seem to misunderstand, young man. I merely wanted to thank you. This country really needs young ones like you."

Saying so, Ross turned and walked away.

"Secure Abomination. Betty, Jennifer, on board!" He barked out orders before getting inside the helicopter.

Peter stood there silently, gazing at the retreating back of Ross as he got on the helicopter.

…He did not like Ross one bit.

Peter's spider-sense blared, but he didn't do anything, knowing that it was Jennifer.

She slapped his ass, grinning as she came in front of him.

"Nice back you've got there, I tell you."

Peter just stared at her.

"Not much a talker, are we?" Jennifer chuckled, massaging her shoulder.

"Can we talk over dinner sometime? Not today of course, whenever you want."

Peter just stared at her as she took out a slip with her number on top.

"Call me whenever you want," she said as she grinned, offering him the slip. "We can hang out, and get to know each other."

"A date?" Peter tilted his head.

"A date." Jennifer shoved the slip in his hands, winked, and walked away with her butt swaying.

Damn.

Peter's gaze lingered on her firm behind even when she entered the helicopter.

…And here she was saying he had a nice back. Her was… just…

Peter shook his head and prepared to jump and swing away, only to be stopped by someone again.

"Wait!"

Peter groaned in annoyance and looked at Betty.

"What?"

"Do you know Bruce?"

"Not personally; but I know him," Peter answered quickly, he wanted to end the conversation.

"Do you know where he is?"

"No," saying so, he jumped, shooting a web before pulling himself.

He did not have time for Betty. She was just like that useless Sakura, in his opinion. Where Sakura was obsessed with Sasuke, Betty was with Bruce.

Peter swung for a while before he got on top of a building, looking down on the ever-bustling city of New York.

Peter quickly sat down and took something out.

A ball of web and a single strand of web.

The ball of web was filled with Abomination's blood, and the strand had Jennifer's blood on it—he's gotten it when he was webbing her naked body parts, he just had to sneak back a strand of the web with her blood on it.

After he tucked them in his belt again, he webbed that place up so they won't fall.

Then, he jumped off the building, nose-diving.

He swung towards a certain building in the distance.

He'd seen it when he was saving people while She-Hulk and Abomination fought.

Peter swung from one building to another, his proficiency with his web-swinging increasing over time. Sometimes, he would just let go of the web and free fall, and sometimes, he would not let go of the web until the end. Sometimes, he would perform acrobatics midair, and sometimes, he would run on the windows of the building.

All in all, it was a fun experience.

And when he finally reached the place he was coming towards, he sat down on a roof with his feet hanging.

He had his suspicions about this building.

And he was right.

It was the Baxter Building.

Where the Fantastic Four lived.

Though he was curious… where were they when their city needed them?

He sat there with his feet hanging for a few minutes, doing nothing but gazing at the building a distance away. After a while, he sighed, stood up, and stretched his body before he jumped off the roof, gliding down towards the ground.

He swung across the city, turning his camera icon on before he made his way toward the warehouse.

He checked whether Yuri was there or not, and whether she'd left some kind of letter or not.

She wasn't there, which was a bummer since he was thinking of fucking her raw, again. He sighed. Gwen was mad at him still, so she was a no-go. Aunt May? Nah, too soon. Who else could he fuck? He was feeling quite horny.

After thinking for a while, Peter sighed and went home. It seems he isn't getting any pussy tonight. Bummer.

Peter got home, and slumped on the bed, his suit vanishing into shadows that submerged in his spider tattoo.

He just stared at the ceiling, his mind wandering around for a while.

If he were to think about it, today was his debut as Spider-Man. The fight was big enough that Peter was sure he'd get on some news channel.

…but after what happened today. After he saw so many people die. Innocent people. Men. Women. Elderly. Children. Everyone alike. He… was a bit curious.

Why did he want to play superhero when he knew—especially after he was a mixture of Edward and Peter—that he wasn't hero material at all?

Was it the Peter part of him who thought "With great power comes great responsibility" (research) or so Uncle Ben used to say?

Was it Peter who wanted to be a hero because he considered it his responsibility to protect people since he had great power? Since he couldn't just see innocent people dying in front of him? or was it Edward, who—for some reason unknown to Peter as the memories were still locked—wanted to play hero for some reason?

Peter had a weird, inner feeling that Edward wanted to play the hero for some reason.

The real Peter Parker would never run away if he were to see innocent people get hurt, he would stay and he would help them in any way possible. He was a fucking hero.

But Edward… even though the current Peter didn't have any substantial memories relating to Edward, he knew that Edward just wanted to 'play' hero. If he were to see people get hurt, he would help if he could. But if he didn't want to, or if the situation was too much for him to handle all while saving people, he wouldn't give a shit because he was just 'playing' hero. He wasn't a real hero. He could outright be an apathetic villain if the situation desired such as such.

So… there was a question inside current Peter's mind.

Where did he lie?

The goodie two shoes Peter?

Or Edward… who was just that, Edward?

Peter sighed, and rubbed his eyes.

He just tried to fall asleep since he didn't want to think about this shit right now.

He needed to shower, but he couldn't be bothered. He'd do it in the morning.

***

The next morning, Peter woke up, showered, changed clothes, and went down to eat together with May.

He was silent the whole time.

In fact, he'd been silent the whole morning. A bit deflated, even.

And that had May quite concerned.

"Are you alright, Peter?" She asked.

"Huh?" Peter looked up from his food absentmindedly. "Oh, yes, yes. I'm… fine."

May's eyebrows creased. He wasn't alright. She had raised him; she knew when he was down.

"Peter… what happened?"

Peter didn't answer, and May just sighed and turned silent. She would ask again later. Maybe he needed time to sort his mind?

Peter ate his breakfast, picked up his bag, and went to his school.

He was going to have a talk with Gwen today. No matter what. She could take her time, sure, but he wasn't going to let her ignore him. He had done something unforgivable, that's why he wasn't using any of his skills on her to get a quick fuck—as he did with Yuriko. Peter truly liked Gwen.

Peter attended his classes, even though he was bored to death. Strangely enough, he didn't spot Gwen. Just when it was time for the lunch break, Peter stood up from his chair, and so did some other students. Mainly, Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, and Flash Thompson.

Ugh, Peter's face scrunched. Not now. He didn't have time for these shitheads for now.

Flash and Harry 'Ass'born were coming to pick a fight with him, he knew. The looks on their faces were proof enough. Mary Jane was stopping them, or so it looked like. Peter stared at them clowns for a few seconds before his eyes traveled around in search of Gwen.

She wasn't there. Actually, Peter hadn't spotted her since morning.

Where is she?

Peter frowned.

"Parker!" Harry shouted, smirking as he blocked his path.

Fucking great.

Peter let out an over-exaggerated sigh.

"Yes?" Peter asked, feigning ignorance at their blatant attempt of causing trouble for him.

"We need to have a friendly 'spar' between you and Flash here. What do you say?" He asked his arm over Peter's neck and shoulders in a seemingly 'friendly' hug.

Peter, on the other hand, was looking around for Gwen.

Did she not come today?

"Parker?"

"Oh? Yes, yes, sure. After school someday?"

Harry squinted his eyes at Peter, not believing he would agree this easily.

"…okay." Harry agreed, too, albeit a bit suspicious of Peter.

"Then, excuse me," Peter said, easily gripping and tearing Harry's hand away from his shoulders. "I need to go look for my girlfriend." Peter glared at him a bit coldly.

Flash, and Mary Jane, who were standing beside them, just a pace or two away, widened their eyes in surprise. Though both did it because of different reasons.

Flash was surprised that Puny Parker could ever get a girlfriend.

Mary Jane, though, was surprised that he would get a girlfriend. She, for some reason, felt a bit annoyed.

Peter just walked out of the classroom and started looking for Gwen all over the school. He first went to the cafeteria, then, he went running around the whole school, looking for her.

Maybe she was on a leave?

Peter got inside the male bathroom, and took out his phone—he'd sneaked it inside the school.

—

Me: Hey? You didn't come to school today? Is everything alright? Are you fine?

—

He sent her a message, hoping she'd answer, but seconds turned to minutes yet she didn't answer.

Peter was getting worried.
