Chapter 6 - [BT] Swallowing The Spider!

[Before Transition]

We've been on the bus for a while now and I suspect that we will soon arrive at Oscorp. Peter is sitting in the window seat and using me as a barricade against everyone else in the bus. He's been pretty silent and so has MJ, I think people are finally getting the message that I don't want to- MJ turns towards me- talk to them. I guess I spoke too soon.

"Hey, are you gay?" W- What the- Why would She. "No, I am not gay." I reply, do people think I'm gay, do they think that's why I hang out with Peter? Oh God No...

"Ha, I finally made you talk!" Oh she was just trying to get a response from me, at least people don't think I'm gay. "I've never heard you talk before, I like your accent, are you from Britain?" Not in this reality.

I can't just tell people that before I was born I used to be a a British National. Thankfully I have prepared for this question. "I'm American, born and raised. My butler is from England and that's where I picked the accent up from." That doesn't really explain my full British accent but I doubt people will look further into it.

I then realised that most of the other students in my immediate vicinity are looking at me, even Peter. I guess they've never heard me speak before and they're kind of astonished about it. Well that's all they're gonna get, I'm kind of impressed that Mary Jane managed to get me to talk by sheer shock factor. For the rest of the journey I'm going to be silent.

We have finally arrived at Oscorp where the fated origin story of the Spider-Man will begin but for me, this day will be mostly full of boredom. Alighting from the bus with Peter, we are basically the last ones off, we start to follow the rest of the students when a black limo parks up right next to us.

Exiting the limo is one Harry Osborn and following him out is his father Norman Osborn, AKA the future Green Goblin. Spotting us Norman starts to walk towards us dragging Harry with him by the elbow.

Osborn ignores me and starts to talk to Peter, apparently I'm below his notice not that I mind, I really don't want to have any interaction with him at all. "Peter my boy, it's good to see you, how are you're aunt and uncle, well I hope?" He really is quite charismatic.

Peter looks like he idolises him. "Hi Mr Osborn, Aunt May and Uncle Ben are both fine?" Norman gets a glint in his eye. "Good good, I had heard that they were having some financial problems. Do you need my help? I would be happy to provide it." It seems like Norman is trying to get a genius like Peter in his pocket, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the cause of the Parkers financial troubles.

Peter tenses. "No sir, though we may have some problems it's nothing we can't handle, I appreciate the offer though, it is very generous of you." Osborn just looks mildly annoyed that Peter didn't go for the bait.

"Do you see this Harry, this is a boy who's going places, he's gonna get somewhere. He's standing on his own two feet, you could learn something from him Harry." Harry looks positively apoplectic but manages to hide it from his father but I don't think Norman cares either way.

Oh wait.. Norman actually saw Harry's expression and.. he looks pleased. Huh. I guess he trying to make Harry angry and jealous for some reason. Whatever, it's nothing to do with me.

"Okay Peter, remember if you ever need my help just call. Keep helping Harry with his studies and look out for him for me, alright son.." Norman starts to wrap up the conversation.

"W- Will do, Mr Osborn" Peter acquiesces, you could tell he was reluctant, Norman ignored it though. They both said there goodbyes and than Norman hugged Harry, kissed him on the forehead then got in his limo and left.

He left behind an awkward silence which was swiftly sliced by Harry. He looked like he was about to say something but settled for just glaring in annoyance at Peter and just warily looked at me with caution, then he just ran off to catch up with Flash.

Harry in this universe hates Peter. Originally Peter would have found a friend in Harry by helping him with his studies and in return Harry would make the bullies ease off of Peter. It was a transaction that Harry made on his own and without using anything of his fathers. But in this universe Peter is hardly ever bullied because of me shielding him, this means that while Peter still tutors Harry, his father is paying Peter for it. It also doesn't help that Norman keeps comparing Harry to Peter and making him feel like shit.

Anyway, I'm getting too involved with other people's business. I just have to stay on task and build my machine.

Something unexpected happened, I really didn't expect her to be here.

She began leading us to another section of the building where she would hand us off to another scientist who would explain his work. It was around an hour later where she was leading us to an exhibit that contained the spiders.

Peter had forgotten about shielding himself using me, he was so enthralled by all the science, and was near the front of the class while I was at the very back. Gwen waited at the doors and was shuffling us all in, but when I was walking past her she grabbed me by the hand.

"Follow me" She said before I could do anything and then dragged me off. She stopped outside of a door and then proceeded to open it and push me in. It seems to be a utility closet.

"Gwen, what are you doing?" She takes of her lab coat and then her top. "I think you can figure it out" She says sultrily while hiking up her skirt and showing me her p.a.n.t.i.e.s.

"Gwen, the exhibitions so far have been 15 minutes, we don't have enough time" She turns around and braces herself with her hands against the wall with her a.s.s sticking out. "The next scientist is a bore, we have around half an hour to have some fun"

Well then... I have been sufficiently persuaded, I step forward and draw her p.a.n.t.i.e.s down a little and then begin to unzip my pants...

Goddamn I need that. I really had built up too much stress and needed a release, I should probably start having s.e.x more regularly or else I'm probably going to end up developing some other bad vices. I exit the utility closet and come face to face with Mary Jane Watson.

"Hey Nick, I realised that you were missing so I came to look for you. What were you doing in a...-" Gwen comes out of the door behind me while pulling her lab coat back on "-...utility.. closet."

There's a few more seconds of awkward silence before I also begin to walk back to the tour group with MJ trailing behind me. After a few moments "Who was she? Why did you... I've been trying to talk to you since the school year started but after an hour with that blonde your already shacking up? That... feels really unfair."

This is getting annoying. "She was an old friend but we're not dating" We enter the spider exhibition. "And I hardly see how that's any of your business" I see Peter and he seems to be looking at a spider on his hand. I guess I get to see the legendary moment in person then. "I understand that you feel that way and I'm sorry, but I'm not in the right place for a relationship right now. I have a lot going on." The spider bites Peter and he gets a real shock.

Peter, surprised flings his hand in my direction to get rid of the spider. It's heading towards me, I'm going to catch it and find out how it gives people spider powers, it could be useful in the future.

I reach out my hand, the spiders trajectory is heading right for my palm, it's nearly here. Suddenly MJ bumps into me from behind "Hey, why'd you stop?" She questions but I can't answer, I'm choking...

She then decides to push me "Cmon Nick, move!" And that forces me to swallow.

H- Holy SHIT. I- IVE SWALLOWED THE F.U.C.KIN SPIDER!
