The two appeared over a rooftop sitting across from Electro"s girlfriend house, Peter thought it would be a long stakeout and he was right, so he bought a blanket and some food and the two shared a romantic dinner while watching for a bad guy, "Who knew a stakeout could be so fun?" MJ said as she took a bite if her sandwich, Peter laughed and said, "Actually I thought, why make it boring, after all, we have each other to keep company after all." Peter was so glad that he wasn"t sitting alone and stalking Electro"s girlfriend all by his lonesome.Having MJ here was really making the time fly, however, the two didn"t manage to catch Electro today Peter and MJ stayed until almost 12 PM, to make sure he didn"t come at a later time. Realizing he wouldn"t come out today Peter placed a camera phone on and webbed it to the wall. They webbed home and tried and went home to try again the next day, Peter checked around 4 hours of footage and saw nothing out of the ordinary. They met up and did this again for almost an entire week when one night, while they were making out, they saw Electro"s girlfriend sneaking out of her apartment. Peter and MJ took notice and sighed as she removed herself from Peter"s lap and the two got to work.
They made sure to stay hidden and a good distance from her so she wouldn"t notice them following. After tracking a cab she called to downtown to the Bronx. After she stopped at the bar with no name, Peter stood back and sighed, "This is a villain"s hang out, stay back and wait for Sparky to come out, after all, they can"t stay in there all day."
MJ nodded her head and the two found a rooftop nearby to perch on, after waiting a few hours their target finally appeared, as he walked out the bar with his hand around his girlfriend"s waist, Peter and MJ followed him and watched as he hailed a cab, after she left he started heading off towards Ozcorp facilities, Peter frowned, as he decided to stop him now, however, MJ"s Symbiote was afraid of trying to force away Electro"s power. "It"s because of the heat; if Electro we willing to work with us like how Johnny and I fought together, gaining his power would be no problem. However, due to the MJ"s lack of heat resistance would prove a problem for taking his power"s away by force. One light up and she might lose her Symbiote," Webster explained.
Peter sighed and said, "Well, I guess, I"ll be taking this one!" and like a fly that had fallen into his web, Electro was suddenly engulfed by Webster and the two began fighting. Electro entered his energy form and blasted down a bolt of lightning on top of them, Webster shrieked in pain, but due to it"s recently gained heat resistance, it managed to survive the attack.
Suddenly Electro felt his power"s starting to drain when MJ hopped down with webbed up fist and knocked him out with a well-placed punch to the jaw. The electro"s brain had returned to a matter like form because of the Symbiote was draining on the super serum that he was given to make his power. His brain shook around his skull as his eyes rolled back and he fell down, Peter said, "Ohh, right in the b.u.t.ton."
Peter"s Symbiote kicked it into overdrive and sapped away all of Maxwell"s power, he then found the traces of mutant genetics inside the serum. Altering the formula with Webster"s help, Peter had once again split it into two and gave half of it to MJ.
Thanks to this her suit gained both an electric and heat resistance and a weaker version of Electro"s Electrokinesis. Peter, on the other hand, gained a powerful Electrokinesis with his symbiote active similar to how he could use Johnny"s Pryokinesis. However he discovered that Venom was never weak to electricity in the first place, only the sound produced by the lightning bolt damaged them, Peter"s Symbiote thought it would"ve died just then, if not for Peter"s regeneration factor helping it survive.
"It was a good idea that we didn"t separate before absorbing his power, Peter, if we hadn"t been connected during that attack, our connection may have been severed," Webster commented.
Peter smiled and felt that even without Webster the new mutant gene he gained was allowed him to use a weakened version of his ability on an equal level as his fire control.
Peter then webbed up the regular old human version of Maxwell and placed him on the front steps of the nearest police station with a similar note left with the Rhino, except this time he left a note for Maxwell, "If you have a woman counting on you, you shouldn"t be a crook. Straighten up and do right by her."
Peter didn"t know if this would help Electro Find solace, but at least he tried. After taking care of the problem they realized they only had a week or so until they had to go back to school.
Peter sighed and couldn"t wait to find out what Tony had in store for him, as soon as they had their grant money they would apply for early graduation and start going to college. At least that"s what he thought would happen.
When he returned home and went to his lab to continue working on the idea he would present to earn that grant. Peter entered his cellar and got to work, however after looking a few hours of him losing track of time, he entered a state similar to when he web swings, the whole world vanished and the only thing that existed was the work and himself.
It wasn"t until a deep voice called out to him that he responded, "Very impressive Mr. Parker, your tiring to remake Proto Adamantium that Doctor Myron Mac"Clain invented by accident, and from what I"ve seen you"ve almost cracked it. Your plans on using the metal to create nan.o.bots are ingenious."
Peter gulped as he turned around and saw a tall well built, bald black man, with an Eyepatch covering his left eye."I"m sorry, do you prefer Spiderman?" Fury asked with a smile on his face,
Peter slapped his face, "How!?"
"Honestly, your expression just now gave it away! You did a pretty good job managing to stay hidden from our surveillance, and I didn"t have any proof, just a good hunch, but after seeing your work, however." Fury pointed to his chest, "The armor you made impressed me a lot, so after giving your work some praise amongst other buyers, thinking of hiring you to Shield Labs, we started investigating you and your parent"s history. All though I"m not sure how you managed to pull off that double Spiderman stunt, your activities left a lot of reports as a younger person saving them the inconsistencies was enough for me to suspect."
Peter slapped his forehead and thought "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! I just gave my ident.i.ty again, this s.h.i.t ends here. Gonna have to be extra careful in the future, from now on the new motto is; deny, deny, deny."
Fury looked to him before saying, "Kid you got a lot of skill and even some good training; but if you want to do some real good you should consider joining this."
Fury threw out a folder, with the words "Avenger"s Initiative" Peter lifted his eyebrow as he saw the original roster. Ironman, Hulk, Captian America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and one that wasn"t there before Scarlet Witch."
"Independent yet allies with S.H.I.E.L.D, autonomous action unit against worse case scenarios." Peter was mumbling out parts of the contract and thought "No wonder Tony agreed. There really isn"t any hidden strings in this."
Peter looked up to him and said, "Okay, but I guess you will be a.s.signing someone to Mary Jane and I, so what training?"
Fury nodded his head and said, "Training."
Peter sighed before thinking, "I"m not really getting a choice here am I?"
Fury responded, "I think you have a great choice, that"s why I brought this contract to you. This way you can get the training you need. . ."
"So you can keep an eye on us!" Peter finished, "Tell me Fury, did you put camera"s in my house?"
"No, not yet. Like before I like to take a different approach first," Fury answered.
Peter rubbed his temples and sighed, "Okay but, I have some conditions of my own."
Fury lifted a brow as he said, "Such as?"
"I"m going on vacation in a week, and I also have my studies to attend to. Not to mention fighting crime as Spiderman, but this weekend vacation is for me and my friends, no calling me with work, or training, during this time. It"s a busy life living as Spidey, right now, so try not to interfere with my life too much! Okay?! No cameras in my house! EVER! And Fury, I get what you"re all about, but I"m no killer, at least, I won"t kill humans and kindred spirits, but if some evil overlord and robotic alien species wages war on, you can count on me to fight."
Fury grinned, "I can agree to that, but you two better get ready for school, something tells me you"re going to like what we have in store for Midtown High."
Peter furrowed his brow and shrugged his shoulders as Fury explained what his duties would be as an Avenger. Peter looked to him and said, "I get if it"s for teaching us how to be good spies, but I don"t know if you have anyone strong enough to teach me anything combat related."
Fury grinned, "Not even if it"s Steve Roger"s himself?"
Peter breathed out a breath of fresh air, and thought, "Good he knows I have spider-powers but doesn"t know the extent of my abilities."
"Maybe if you add the Hulk to the fight." Peter also thought of Thor but he hadn"t joined the Avengers yet.
Fury smirked and said, "Kid trust me, Steve is even stronger than he used to be during the war."
Peter looked up and said, "Ohh, I wonder how much stronger."
Fury pulled out a card and handed it off to him, "Add this to your contacts, you"ll receive a place and a location to go for training."
Peter looked down at the card and then back up to see Fury had vanished. "Cloaking tech maybe?" Peter thought as he scratched his head, "I wonder if he"s going to ask MJ next. What"s her response gonna be?" Peter was about to give her the head"s up and realized that she texted him, "Avenger"s Initiative? Y? N?"
Peter"s eyes widened and he sent back a text, "Is a guy with an eye patch there?!"
MJ sent back another lightning fast text, "No, it"s Natalie Rushman, Tony"s secretary!"
Peter wiped his forehead, and thought, "Good, was beginning to think Fury wasn"t human or had clones or something along those lines."
He texted back, "What do you want to do?!"
MJ wrote back, "Sounds fun, the contract seems legit too. If you"re in, I"m in!"
Peter laughed before texting "Then I guess we"re in!"
He then wrote her the list of demands he gave to furry and told her she should try to get something that she likes out of it. After MJ agreed she wrote, "How did she vanish like that, is Batman her teacher!" Peter laughed and sent back, "I thought the same thing!"
After the two went to sleep the next morning they received their first text, they were to meet up at an abandoned Parking Structure that was for government employees only. Once they got there, they realized that it was actually an underground base for one of Shield"s hidden bases.
The elevator they entered went 50 floors below the ground"s surface and opened up into a rather large facility, Peter and MJ looked around in amazement when only a few people could be seen walking about staring at them.
Wouldn"t you know it, Fury showed up too. Greeting them he took them to a large training room that looked a bit like a boxing ring, and inside was Captian America in the flesh training like there was no tomorrow.
