Few hours later, the sky had turned black Prada of the night that fell beautifully on the city.
"Aunt May, I'm back" He called soon he stepped on the threshold. He actually waited few seconds after he opened the door to catch his breath and moderate his gentle tone
"Oh, Peter.. Come here for a second" a calm voice called his name from the kitchen.
The actions of today were rewound rapidly in his mind 'Damn it, the school must have given a call. I really don't wanna list my problems now, after my fight with shocker. Besides, my sides are killing me. I've been tossed around day'. But as he entered the kitchen. His aunt's approach dropped all his guards. She waved out a pie from the oven "I made you a pie" she smiled.
He sat down and began eating hurriedly, she asked "Did something happen at school?"
"Tssk... Just I hadn't talk with my best friends for over couple of months. Most of the school are eluding me after the Liz thing -Peter used to date her but things weren't good when Peter always had to sneak out whenever hearing the sirens-. And there is Gwen, I can't look in her face without feeling lonely. And Harry is killing me. He thinks of me as a murderer because I take pictures of his father's murderer. For god sake... His father was the Green Goblin, Harry himself Maybe juicing again. And there's that punk ... Flash who never grows up, I just want to pay him back with one punch. Only one hit would do the trick..."
he blurted all that in his mind for a second but when he looked at her smile, he sighed "Sorry, it was nothing..."
She smiled "how was the pie?"
"Ha!.." He looked away in shame "good"
"Okay would you want a second?" she patted his shoulder while getting another.
Peter began listening to his aunt's words "Don't worry Peter. Everything's gonna be okay. I'm not annoyed or anything. We still have each other" her smile to him warmly cheered him up. Peter genuinely smiled back. And when he was about to leave to his room an disturbing ringtone pulled his attention (Ring Ring)
He brought up his mobile to see the name of the person, he wished not to encounter at such an hour of the night. Especially on such tough night like this...
"Oh, my job. JJJ will kill me; I didn't send him any photos this week. Sorry aunt May. I've to go"
"Peter, I'm going to Dr. Bromwell to get my check-up...."
The old woman was trying to tell her boy about her meeting but he had already left through the door & swung his way over the building to the Bugle's office and reached JJJ's office. He walked through the door to hear the shouts of the man in his wide chair behind the big desk "Where the hell is Parker?"
"I'm here" answered the boy sheepishly behind some other reporter who was there in the office.
"If I can't see him 2.4 seconds. Tell him, he is fired"
"I'm here" Peter answered loudly this time, sticking his neck from behind the reporter.
James Jonah Jameson -The man who hates Spiderman for his secret identity, beside he believes that Spiderman is responsible for the mental state of his son John- Captain Jupiter-
"Kid, did you die before telling me?"
"I__"
"(Sir, I got great pics showing the true nature of that Villain) that's what I really wanna hear from your mouth instead of some unexplained gibberish. so you better get me photos of that killer"
"Actually he is not a killer" Peter said while handing him the images. JJJ snatched them like always criticizing the pics till he found one: Spiderman punching Shocker hard.
"That's good" JJJ shouted in joy.
Peter exclaimed "Really!!"
"Yes.. The true nature of the menace"
"But_"
The Bossy JJJ picked up his phone and shouted "Betty call Robertson, tell him I found Image for P1 for tomorrow's edit. Hey kid what are you still doing here? Out.. Out. Take your money & get me more like this"
Peter walked away, didn't care about anything just holding his money in sweet-bitterness.
Outside the building, In front of the main auto glass door,
Peter chuckled to himself staring at the envelope in his hand "At least, I can get money__" -Ting Ting- his spider sense alarmed loudly but peter looked everywhere till__ CRASH.
A huge thing passed before him collapsing the entrance of the building.
A meta-human banged through the door which made big explosion wave. Men were blown away including Peter who slowly opened his eyes thinking 'Was that Rhino?' "... Ah! Ah! My money. Where is my money? No no no no" He screamed in panic as his money slipped through his fingers and flew missing among the freaking crowd.
Peter quickly ran to the restrooms inside the building and in anger, he changed to his alter ego and began bouncing on the strongest mutant the blue man ever created.
"The bug, I was looking for you" Rhino coarsely called as he was waiting for him to show up.
Spiderman looked to him strangely "I missed you too, But sorry. I'm not into some idiot mutant"
"I'll kill you insect" He threw a punch and two. But the web swinger was faster and evasive as always "Well, well. How many times should I remind you? ... Spiders aren't from the insects' family, they are arachnids"
The wall crawler managed to lay a punch on his adversary through an opening. Rhino was whacked hard in the face that he fell in dizziness, which made Peter himself surprised. He looked to his fist "Wow, when did I get that strong?"
Later, Rhino escaped from the Police after he was arrested,
He walked into an old bunker at the edge of the city where a man was there waiting for him by the entrance of the bunker, only the man's shadow was visible, it looked spooky as some tentacles rose in the darkness and opened the door to Rhino. The other called reluctantly "Was that enough? Can I crush him now?"
"Yes. But not for now" an eerie yet calm voice answered with confidence.
"You promised me, you gave me your word"
"Yes, of course. I promise you. WE will" the man appeared in light standing by his metal tentacles rising above the ground welcoming Rhino in. -Dr. Otto Octavius -the evil scientist who used to work under Norman Osborn's orders trying to find the strongest gene combination for creating the ultimate soldier but failed. So Osborn fired him after failing him another dozens of times after he began wrecking a havoc scheming to kill Osborn and take over his scientific projects but Spiderman was always there to defeat him and proves his supremacy- he opened the door leading the way to the circle of evil where Electro, Vulture, Sandman & Shocker were gathering. They kept looking at Spiderman's photo on the wall grinning devilishly thinking of his end.
That night peter returned home to see his aunt's short notice... {I'm with Anna don't worry about me, Food in the fridge}
"I really don't wanna sleep... I've to go back to school, I think it's gonna be a rough day tomorrow. Ah... I should Give JJJ some pics. Let's see.." and as Peter was preparing his images. He couldn't notice the thing clinging to his leg. It was black Slime attached to his shoe. That thing that began spreading more & more.
At Rhino's last battlefield, Kraven -The mad hunter who keeps perusing the greatest preys in nature, but he failed to hunt the ultimate prey that's why he accepted the weird syrup & changed into a big mutant were-tiger- was standing in focus holding a pair of specific binoculars..
"Did you find anything my friend?" Dr. Octopus voice whispered nearby.
"Dr. Octopus. Nice to meet you, are you too hunting the annoying spider too?"
"I've been waiting for you.. You got his smell"
(Whoosh)* Big Inhale "...I guess so, Thanks for your idea, getting Rhino who you brushed him with my effective tracking powder being beaten by the Spiderman who at last caught the same powder, I already got the scent, he won't run away anymore"
"Okay. Then tomorrow we attack"
"We!!" He looked behind in confusion, to meet the other lurking in shadows from distance, while the main villain, dr. octopus widely smirking "Welcome to the sinister Seven"
