Ch: 109 [Peter and Wanda]

[Peter's first person POV]

This is dope. I can tell that I'm stronger than before and this weird feeling inside my body, it's as if every cell in my body is itching for something. I can sense the mystical energy seeping through every corner of the Earth. It's intoxicating. And this exo skeleton armor, I can manipulate it to transform according to my needs. It's as if a symbiote is wrapped around me.

"You are thinking of leaving right now to meet your family, right?" The Ancient One suddenly said with her usual stoic expression, but I can tell that she's kinda happy for some reason. Weird.

"Not yet. Since I'm here, teach me. I was too arrogant and careless last time. I don't want to face such a situation again. So, teach me magic and help me understand my power or something," I asked her. This is my last resort. As much as I would like to meet them, I can't go there in my condition. Although the exo skeleton armor is under my control, what if another weird freaky power pops up? Can't take that chance. Before I leave this place, I'll learn magic and master my spidey power.

"Hmm," She rubbed her fingers across her face with a contemplating look, "Very well. Let us begin your training, Peter Parker."

She teleported me to the training ground with a flick of her finger. There was a group of newbies in orange training clothes, practicing the classic transportation portal spell.

I watched them create portals, some successful while some failed.

"Peter Parker, stand next to them," She ordered me with a serious tone.

[Zoooo!] Wow! She used magic to change my clothes. It was weird and creepy. I can feel a new underwear appearing out of nowhere and it's a fit. I looked down and saw myself wearing an orange training cloth with a symbol of the Kamar Taj. Then she gave me those magic rings to wear like the rest of the students.

"I'm sure you won't have a problem mimicking their movements. Feel the flow of magic and focus. Imagine the garden we were standing in a few moments ago and open a portal," She instructed me as she walked behind everyone and started observing them individually.

Alright! Here goes nothing.

I copied them as they waved their hands and imagined the garden clearly with its green grass, oak trees, and stone buildings as I tried opening a portal, but nothing happened. Damn! I repeated it a few times, but it didn't work. I tried imagining the garden with better clarity and even closed my eyes to visualize everything clearly, but still nothing.

Wait! I can see orangish sparks as a faint rune or whatever it is called appeared before my eyes briefly. I can do it. After eight months, I got a new chance and I won't let it go to waste. I know what's wrong here. I am thinking too much about it and trying to run where I'm supposed to walk. I'm getting frustrated and restless right now because I doubt I've ever failed this many times in a row.

Yeah! Focus...

I took a deep breath and relaxed my mind as I imagined the garden again while waving my hands and orange sparks appeared briefly again. Just relax, Pete. You got this. I calmed my mind and controlled my breathing. I imagined those weird magic lines around the garden.

[Sizzzle!] [Crackle!] As I opened my eyes I saw a round portal and beyond it was the garden I just imagined. Success!

That's just the tip of the iceberg...

"Can't argue with that. So, what's new?" I asked as I munched on the burger while enjoying the view. "Heard you got an earful from Wong yesterday. What happened?" I teased her as I finished my burger within seconds and grabbed another one from the bag.

Wanda frowned as she recalled the scolding Wong gave her yesterday, "Yeah... Apparently, I messed up during meditation. He kept telling me that I wasn't concentrating enough. It's hard to focus with all these thoughts going through my head constantly."

"Talk to me," I urged her as I focused on chewing my burger slowly so that I could listen to Wanda.

Wanda stared at me with conflicted emotions flashing in her eyes for a moment before sighing heavily, "You sure you want to hear my story? It's nothing special. It's just that I don't know if what I want to do is right or wrong."

"Go on, it's the least I can do for someone who took care of me for eight months without a complaint," I assured her with a genuine smile.

Wanda stared into my eyes for a moment to find any signs of lies, but she couldn't find any. Finally, she sighed heavily and began narrating her life story.
