8 C8 : Spider bite

For the remained of there week off Nick and Peter would hang out together going to different places around the world and when school ended they would go get Ned and continue hanging out together, Nick also continued to tease May every time he saw her and every time she would become shy and blush.

The week came to an end and the school week started up again, Nick had teleported to Peter's apartment to pick him up and teleport them both to school.

They were now in the classroom talking at the desk they sat in when they first met, everyone else around them seemed to have gotten used to Nick's presence and so they were have their own conversations as well but Nick was the main topic of discussion, a couple minutes later a elderly man walked into the room and sat down at the teachers desk.

When Nick saw the teacher he almost shouted out loud, 'Is that Stan Lee?!' Nick thought in his head.

"Alright class quite down, now as you all probable know we have a new student that started last week, because he didn't get the chance to introduce himself then he will do it now, Mr. Stark will you come to the front." Stan said to the class.

Nick calmed himself down when he remembered that this wasn't the real Stan Lee and so when he went up to the front and stood next to Stan his mind was much calmer then it was compared to before, "Thanks." Nick said to Stan, he then turned back to the class.

"Hello everyone, if you didn't know who I am already, even with what happened last week then I'll tell you who I am now, I'm Nick Stark. I should probably also say that what you saw last week with Flash is not how I normally act, it's just that I'm not a fan of racists and bullies, so as long as you're not like that then we will get along just fine." Nick said to the whole class, finishing his little introduction with a smile.

The whole class sat quietly and listened to Nick speak and when he had finished you could see some people in the class relax, now that they understood why Nick did what he did they were a lot more comfortable around Nick and some other's even decide that what Nick did was right, that Flash got what he deserved.

"Thank you Mr. Stark, you can go sit back down now and we'll start class." Stan said to Nick from his desk, Nick nodded his head and then sat back down next to Peter.

"Alright, we will be going on a trip to the Oscorp building tomorrow so you will need to get your parents permission."

...Nick's Living Room...

School had finished and Nick had teleported back home after he first dropped off Peter at his apartment, he was now looking at his mother who was in tears on the sofa.

The news was on TV and it was a story about his uncle, Tony had been kidnapped by the terrorist group, The Ten Rings.

The news was playing the video of Tony and a couple members of the Ten Rings, they had him kneeling down in between them, a gun point at him as they made their demands.

"Mom, calm down, uncle Tony will be fine, they most likely have him making weapons for them and he's super smart, he'll think of a way to get away from them." Nick said to his mother slowly as he held her in his arms, the same time he stroked her back to try and calm her down.

"Once he does escape and gets in contact with us, I'll be there right away to bring him home, but that'll only happen if I can't find him first, so please stop crying." Nick words had calmed down his mother but when she heard that he want to go looking for her brother she became scared for Nick as well and what might happen to him if he does find Tony.

But before she could open her mouth Nick spoke, "You don't have to worry me, if anyone see's me I can just teleport away, and if I do find him I'll be able to go in and out without anyone knowing that I was there." Nick said to her seriously.

"I'll first have to wait for a plane to go to Afghanistan and then I can start looking from him." Nick explained, his mother just lowered her head back to his chest and nodded into it, they stayed like that for a while, in silence, each dealing with their own thoughts.

Nick was trying to tell himself that this was necessary, for Iron Man to be born he had to wait for Tony to make a mini arc reactor and draw up the plans for the very first Iron Man suit.

But he wouldn't be sitting around, while Tony became Iron Man, he would get the spider bite when he goes on the school trip tomorrow.

With the spider sense to warn him of danger, all his blind spots will be covered and getting to Tony will be even easier.

...Oscorp...

"I'm sure he will be fine, just hang in there ok." Peter said to Nick as they walked in the middle of the group of students, trying to make him feel better about his uncle being kidnapped by terrorists.

They were inside the Oscorp building, being taken on a tour by a ln asian woman, at the moment she was explaining the different types of spider they had, one that could jump, one with strong webs and another that had fast reflexes, their nervous system was so fast that it was like it had precognition.

"Don't worry I'm fine, I know he's safe, they definitely know how important he is and how he's more useful alive." Nick said to Peter as the tour moved along to the genetically engineered spiders, the ones that will turn Peter into Spiderman.

Nick walked to the back of the group and Peter followed him.

The group was about to move along when Nick spotted the red and blue spider crawling down its web, right down on to Peter's neck and that's when the spider bite him.

"Arr!" Peter grunt in pain from the bite, he went to slap the back of his neck when Nick's tail stopped his hand.

"Hold still." Nick said to Peter was he gently picked the spider off his neck.

'Good, it's still alive.' Nick thought as he looked at it in the centre of one of his hands.

"What was it?" Peter asked as he rubbed the bite.

"Just a spider." Nick then used his other hand to agitate the spider, forcing it to bite him as well, "Oww, that Sting's." Nick said after the spider bite him.

He didn't stop there though, he did this a couple more times until the spider died from exhaustion and the abuse from Nick.

"Okay, well we should catch up with the other's." Peter said to Nick still rubbing his neck.

'Its a good thing that he didn't see what Idid after the first bite ... now for you.' Nick thought as he looked at the spiders lifeless body in his hand, he then suddenly popped the spider right into his mouth, swallowing it whole.

With a big gulp the spider was gone.

"This better be worth it." Nick said to himself as he catched up with Peter and the rest of the students.

Nick had forced the spider to bite him more times then the first for one reason, it's also the reason why he ate it.

He had to be sure that he would get the spider powers and to also try and increase the effectiveness of the spiders venom so that he would be stronger then Peter was, he only got bit once after all and Peter barely stood a chance against Thanos and he even had the Iron Spider suit on at the time.

Nick thought that if being stronger came at the price of a few spider bites then it was well worth it.

The tour continued and Nick and Peter both started to become more and more pale.

"Hey Nick, I think we court a bug or something when we went to another country, either that or the spider bite is worse than we first thought." Peter said as he dragged his feet across the marbled floor of the Oscorp lobby.

"Mr. Stark!" Someone from behind Nick shouted, getting his attention and all the other students as well.

Nick turned around to face the mystery person, it was a middle aged man with short, combed back hair in an expensive looking suit and he looked like the actor, Willem Dafoe.

'This must be Norman Osborn, What does he want?' Nick thought to himself as he stood there, barely keeping himself standing, the extra venom was doing its job, Nick thought.

"Mr. Osborn, right? Nice to meet you, what can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to say how sorry I feel about your uncle being kidnapped, we may be competitors but there is just something's you don't wish on another." He said as he reached his hand out for a handshake, "I hope he returns home soon."

Nick slowly raised his hand for the handshake but even that was like torture, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, he had to go now.

"It was nice to meet you, Mr. Osborn, but I'm afraid that I'll have to cut this short, it seems that me and my friend here," Nick said as he look to Peter, Peter just weakly nodded his head to Norman, "Have court some bug when we were teleporting around the world, so we have to get to a hospital soon, goodbye." Nick said as he used his tail to grab hold of Peter's leg.

"Wait, do you need my help?" Norman said, sounding a little alarmed.

"No, I'll just teleport us there, again, goodbye." Nick told Norman as he prepared to teleport.

But Norman spoke up again, "You take care of your friends I see, maybe you can do the same for my son, Harry, he will be transferring to your school soon. It would be appreciated if you look out for him for me." Norman said quickly, finally getting to his real reason for saying hello to Nick.

But Nick couldn't be bothered right now so he just replied, "Sure." Without much thought.

Right after that he teleported them both away.

Norman was left in the lobby by himself in a cloud of red smoke, he used his right hand to fan the smoke away from his face.

"He said that he can teleport to other countries... and from the sound of it he does it quite often," He then put a hand to his chin and made a thinking face.

"Maybe he has a social networking account, I mean, even my son does."He then walked away from the school group, too leave them wondering why Nick and Peter suddenly teleported away.

...Nick's Room...

Nick had teleported them right above his bed so that they both had a soft landing.

"Urr, Jarvis." Nick called out as he sat up.

"Yes Nick, do you require medical assistant, you sound in pain." Jarvis replied.

"We're just under the weather, we'll be fine tomorrow, just don't let my mom know, I don't want her to worry, especially with uncle Tony being kidnapped. She doesn't need more to pile on." Nick said as he struggled to take his clothes off, after he did take his clothes off he climbed under the covers, shaking from the fever that was starting to over take him.

"Nick shouldn't we be at the hospital, this doesn't feel like a little bug that we picked up." Peter said as he looked at Nick's scared back.

"Don't worry I know what this is, you just have to sleep through it." Nick said without looking back at Peter.

"Jarvis, text May for me, say something like we're having a Star War's marathon to take my mind off my uncle's kidnapping." Nick said as he pulled the covers over his head.

"Will do Nick."

Peter was about to say something else but he too started to feel a fever coming on, and so he just laid back down on the bed, next to Nick.

They were like this for the entire night shaking, breaking out in cold sweats, at one point in the night Nick started screaming out in pain, clutching his forarms, tail and his forehead.

If you were there you would see the muscles under Nick's skin squirm, like they are snakes crawling over each other.

Nick's screams lasted for about an hour and by that point all of his wrists were bleeding, the same for his forehead and the end of his tail.

After he finished screaming he passed out from no longer being in pain, the pain before was the only thing keeping him conscious.

...The Next Morning...

Peter awoke first, he slowly raised himself from Nick's bed, his body still sore from the transformation it had just under gone.

He stood up from the bed and walked a few steps towards Nick's side of the bed and that's when he looked into wall mirror Nick had in his room.

At first it was like looking at another person, his clothes barely fit him now and you could see his new toned muscles underneath them.

"What the hell..." Peter said as he checked himself out in the mirror, flexing his arms.

"Urr, what are you doing?" Nick said as he got up from his bed, looking at Peter mess around in front of his mirror.

"Why do I suddenly have all this muscle? I mean look, I have six-pack abs now." Peter said as he lifted his shirt, showing Nick his abs, "You said you know what this is, so what is it?" He asked a little worried.

"Hah... It's because we got bit by a genetically modified spider, that bite has given us abilities." Nick said as he stood up.

When Peter saw Nick's body he was a little shocked, Nick now had ten-pack abs, he had two little black horns on the sides of his forehead and a vertical slit in the middle of his forehead.

And when Nick came closer to him he noticed that he was also taller now, Nick was now around 2 Meters tall and his tail was 250cm long.

"What is it, why do you look so shocked? The spider bite was a good thing, it's not dangerous, don't worry." Nick said trying to reassure Peter.

"That's not it, you have horns now." Peter said as he pointed at Nick's head.

"Huh..." Nick then turned to face the mirror and that's when he saw them.

His new two little black horns, they were completely smooth and had a sharp point, around 3cm long.

As Nick looked into the mirror he noticed that he had a vertical slit in the middle of his forehead.

And so he brought his face closer to the mirror and started feeling around the slit and that's when it separated reveling another eye.

"What the f*uk!" Nick screamed when he saw his third eye.
