'...' Peter Parker had always known he was different. Ever since he was a child, he was smarter, he was better at stuff that others found boring, every thought has always been clear, if he focused in something it would be done, but the thing... he was weirdly good at, was sports or anything physically close to athletic.
And now?...
he had possessed abilities that set him apart from everyone else way more then what he thought possible.
And now, to try and live a normal life and not draw attention to himself.
However, when his friend is in danger, he couldn't stand by and do nothing and his power seemed to agree.
As he stood on the deserted street road, facing off against the, so called sin of Pride.
a masked man with a katana in hand, Peter knew he had to use his powers to protect his friend.
*Dash!!* *shiing!*
As Pride lunged forward with his katana, Peter's instincts kicked in. He dodged the attack with ease, his reflexes heightened by his powers. He retaliated with a swift punch, but Pride was quick to counter, his speed matching Peter's own, getting a good distance.
"your quick I give you that, but my power focuses on speed" said the man
The two circled each other, each looking for an opening to strike.
*dash* *dash* *Shing!* *punch!*
Peter launched blows to the guy, Despite his reluctance on his powers, Peter couldn't deny the thrill of the fight.
*thump-thump-thump* The rush of adrenaline as he dodged and countered Pride's attacks.
*swing! Slash! Shing!*
The guy would use his sword to block my punches but.
*punch!* *Clang!*
he gets pushed back, But amidst the chaos of battle, is the satisfaction of landing a blow against his enemy, his sword was stronger then the other guy.
As the fight raged on, Pride was getting restless he wanted this to end, Peter's powers began to manifest in new ways almost as if his abilities went up when he passed out and there were just catching up.
He found himself moving faster, hitting harder, his webs becoming second nature to use more offensively and defensively.
*twhip-twhip-twhip-thwip!*
As Pride launched a series of rapid strikes, Peter focused on defense, He knew he couldn't let Pride get the upper hand, but from what he's looking at, he's being more aggressive then practical, he's getting... slower.
He swings again to only cut air and my foot kicking his chest launching him a few meters away.
His senses caught two more people making him look to see a masked guy with a bow? And another with a chained blades.
the man drawing his bow shooting three arrows.
*thunk! thunk! thunk!*
Using his agility to evade the attacks he shoots web shots at the man hitting his face.
The girl throws her chained blades to make it spin attack, but with a simple maneuver and With a burst of speed, Peter closed the distance between them and delivered a punch to their gut, with that making them out the battle faster then they came in.
Pride comes back with rage looking at his so called backup.
he swung once more with speed But with a push by my hand after dodging i send Pride to a vehicle landing on his back.
*thud!* "AGH! You dare!, I'm the Demon Of Pride! God Damn it!"
But Pride was not so easily defeated. With a roar of anger, he launched himself at Peter more faster then before, his katana flashing in the sunlight. Peter's heart raced with excitement as he dodged and weaved,
"Just! Die!!"
anticipating Pride's every move. And then, in a moment of his dodging, he saw his opening.
With a surge of power, Peter launched himself forward, his fist connecting with Pride's jaw sending his broken mask away. The unmasked man now in the air, his grip on the katana gone. In a swift motion he jumped and kicked him, sending him crashing to the ground. Pride looked up at him wincing with a hint of fear, blood coming out his lip.
Peter said, his voice firm. "people like you, should know fear, you need a hand to use your sword?"
With that, Peter stomped the guys right arm breaking it leaving Pride screaming while he punched knocking him out. As he made his way he looked on the vehicle window seeing his entire body and mask.
Picking it up he hears sirens, guess they stopped holding them back.
Looking at were gwen is, only find the van empty.
"Uh gwen?"
___
when they were saved they used this chance to escape from the van.
"Come on! Hurry while their distracted!" Said Liz.
"yes yes I know, just hold still!" Says Felicia.
"You think there's more of them?" Says gwen
"I hope not... who's the man... he saved us from..." says Cindy while shivering from the fear of being kidnapped.
"he's one of the good guys!, like you know, like iron man and captain America!" Says mj while looking behind her seeing the brutal battle while inside the van 'I hope...'
When Felicia was done they ran to the alleys going getting away from the battle area but when they were at the second alley 5 men were looking at them.
"Told ya they would fail, but waiting here was worth while, bag em up the Maggia will love these sweet packages"
"Hahaha on it bos-" *thud!*
but before the man could respond he was crushed under someone looking at the girls and he gets up to turn around and looks at the men.
"The Maggia? I'm starting to get sick of gang names"
"That's a lot of bs coming from someone thats about to d-"
not letting him finish I punch the guy straight in the stomach, grabbing him by the neck I throw him towards his bud hitting him while I shoot webbing on them, 2 out.
and shooting another guy with a web line pulling him towards me and I flipped over him also grabbing him by his leather jacket, kicking another guy in the face knocking him out, while pulling the same guy over me using him to batter the other guy towards a wall, 2 more.
the last one pulling a gun on me I grab his hand breaking but not after shooting he drops his gun.
knocking them all out.
I turn around and look at the girls.
no one is hurt, hearing more sirens i tell them.
"...um... your safer here, the cops heard the shot.... be safe, I guess..."
having told them that, I leave to the roofs getting out of there, he can rest, it doesn't matter now, their safe. I'm safe. bad guys down.
___
'what a day this has been huh...'
contemplating the path he was now on.
staring at the mask of Pride in his hands, he felt unease crept over him with a single thought.
'why are things happening now?'
What if he can no longer be just Peter Parker, the quiet and unassuming high school student he's becoming more involved with being a vigilante.
'what changed my way of thinking?'
He was not ready to take on the Maggia whoever that is and the inner demons whatever that is, but for now he'll just lay low, seeing that maybe they'll forget him, right?.
'I got to get back at the spot I left my backpack and the spot I collapsed at'
___
The five girls he had saved were in a state of shock and disbelief. Three couldn't believe what they had witnessed, the masked man single-handedly taking down their captors with ease.
The girls exchanged nervous glances after coming outside the police station and some waited for their parents to get them.
As they made their way back home, gwen was told Peter made it home safely finding him .
As she stares at him strangely.
