Peter and MJ walked to school eager to apply for Tony"s scholarship, all he had to do was present his Nan.o.bot prototype, and he"s in, MJ had her own ideas, she was working on a piece of unstable molecule fabric mixed with her web silk formula to create a type of multiuse fabric that would put every other material out of business, thanks to the material she was developing it could mimic every other type of fabric, but retain the durability of the spider silk.MJ was targeting sweatshops and several other companies that relied on hunting down animals for their fur, if her fabric could mimic them then all they would need is that single material to develop the clothing. The best part was that she could use the spider silk formula as a base for the material, all she needed was to make an electron synthesizer and create the particle in a lab, once added to the spider silk formula it could then be shaped in any pattern or size that"s within the silks stress levels.
Once the fabric is shaped it can be changed to any type of material that is recorded in the fabrics storage center. Which is also something MJ had to develop, Peter offered to let her use his Nan.o.bots, but she said "That"s too much power for everyday clothing. I"ll come up with my own design, just watch me, Tiger!"
When they got to school everyone was freaking out and talking about the Avengers. Peter and MJ smiled when Flash shouted, "Spider-Man is the best! Did you see him tearing up those whale ship things? And his Spidey woman! What a body!"
Peter crushed up a small piece of paper and chucked it at the back of Flash"s head. "Ouch! Who threw that." MJ giggled as Jessica jumped on them, Hey guys, what"s up?"
"Good to see you, Jessica!" Peter and MJ said, seeing Luke walk up next to her, "You"re Peter right, and you Mary?" He held out his hand, "I"m a friend of Jessica, I have a few cla.s.ses with you too. My name is Luke."
Peter smiled and shook his hand, "Nice to meet you, Luke, I"ve seen you around, you pretty smart, Professor Curt has praised you multiple times."
"You as well Peter!" Luke responded when Danny walked up to them next to Angel, "Hey Pete! Hi MJ!" Angel said as she hugged them, "Great job Avengers!" She whispered in their ears.
They two laughed when Danny said, "Oh, you"re Peter Parker right? I hear you"re the smartest kid in school, and this lovely lady must Mary Jane, Angel talks about you guys all the time."
Angel blushed and said, "I do not!"
Peter and MJ laughed when Luke said, "So did you hear about the Scholarship Starks giving out, the people who win will receive entry to one a brand new academy, and enough grant money to start their own business."
Peter almost choked as he thought, "Tony you always go overboard." he looked to Luke and asked, "What"s this new academy?" Luke smiled as he said, "It"s a new school that will have every grade of teaching, from grade school to university level. I hear Tony Stark is only one of the benefactors building."
"Angel smiled and said, "Yeah, actually the company I got a job with is pitching in too." Angel winked at them without the rest of her group, Peter suddenly thought of Avengers Academy. "No, it can"t be. But if it is, that means I"ll get to meet Hank Pym; Hank Pym was dubbed as the scientist supreme by a cosmic ent.i.ty known as Eternity!" Peter thought to himself.
Not to mention that he was more than sure that Otto and Curt were coming along to the place to teach as well, as their contract is with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peter laughed, "So that"s the game you"re throwing at me, Fury. Man, this guy knows how to tempt a person. Worlds greatest spy and all." Peter rubbed the back of his head as he thought, "Well I guess it"s time to graduate, I guess we"ll be seeing them later. I doubt Fury will let them stay here." Peter smiled and said, "Actually MJ and I are applying for the scholarship and will be taking the Early High School Exit Exam."
"Really?" Everyone shouted.
"Yeah, we plan to graduate early so we can do personal stuff before college!" MJ replied with a smile on her face.
The bell rang as they started to walk away and towards their cla.s.s, Flash shouted, "I don"t believe it, Puny Park and Geeky MJ are leaving school." Peter snapped after he heard him make fun of MJ, "Okay Flash, this is the last time I get to show you up! Just because MJ and I are smarter than you, you feel inadequate about your own life, and your own lack of knowledge. I bet if you just applied your self to something anything with all your might, you could be something special. So let me give you a piece of advice, that Spider-Man you like so much is a Hero, and if you want to emulate that hero you have to shape up and do something meaningful with your life, something productive to society. Or else what can you say you"ll be, a dumb jock for the rest of your life?"
Peter gave him one stern look and finished, "You know what I want to do? I want to make things that make it easier for humans to live comfortably, I want to cure cancer, and revolutionize the medical world, I want to help mankind travel and terraform other planets, but most of all I want to move forward with my life. What do you want to do?"
And as Peter said walking away, MJ said, "d.a.m.n Tiger! That was harsh!"
"He needed to hear it, Flash has a lot of potential in him. He shouldn"t waste it taking out his problems on other people, he needs to look inside and see the hero that"s in everyone." Peter said smiling.
Harry and Liz saw them walking and came up, "Hey Peter! Glad you guys made it through that mess, how"s your family?"
Peter and Harry hugged and MJ hugged Liz as she said, "Some guy named Powerman saved our parents, we were in Brooklyn when it happened."
"We were in Harlem when it started. A girl calling herself Firestar saved us," Liz said as she smiled at Angel.
They entered homeroom for the last time and requested to take an early exam, they signed up and easily pa.s.sed, next they applied for Tony"s scholarship and sent in their prototypes.
After the received their graduation papers they went home early to show them off, they also informed them that they would take a break before going to college, since they bought themselves a few years. After a few days, an acceptance notice came from Pepper, Peter and MJ smiled, they weren"t joking when they said that the grant money Tony supplied could build their own company.
He and MJ both got around 5.5 Million Dollars. Added with what they already had, they could officially open up a company, but first they wanted to learn Magic, after that last battle, MJ started to understand that one of the quickest way to get stronger with one"s own effort. She thought of asking Angel, or someone that she knew if she could copy their power, but she could never think of how to phrase it, and it always came off as something that sounded power hungry.
"Ugh, why can"t I find a criminal to have a suitable power that I like?" MJ pouted as they moved around the city going towards Doctor Strange"s Sanctum.
Peter then said, "You know, I could always ask Thor to give you a shock that could purify your spider gene to perfection, who knows maybe you"ll get your own Totem and power up as well." Peter had explained that higher beings like the Beyonders and G.o.ds appear as they expect to see them, so if she didn"t want to imagine a monster it would be a good idea not to go in expecting one.
"Sounds fun," MJ said with a sarcastic tone, "Little scary though, I wonder what this Web of Life is, and why it"s so important?"
Peter sigh, there wasn"t much known about the web of life"s origin, but its importance was tied to the very fabric of their reality, from what he remembered it, the full name was called, The Web of Life and Destiny, it is a three-dimensional construct in five-dimensional s.p.a.ce which acts as a model of the entire Multiverse and enables travel between realities. Its nexus lies in Earth-001, where it is maintained by The Master-Weaver and totemic spider deities.
Based on what Peter"s learned of the Spider G.o.ds is that the Totem Names are given by them after reaching a certain level of connection with the pantheon. For instance, Kain being called The Other, it was a t.i.ttle that he gained from accepting the Totem G.o.d, along with the power to transform into a spider monster.
The other Totem t.i.ttle he knew of were The Great Weaver who also selects those who are worthy of becoming the avatars of Great Totems like the Other. The Gatekeeper who is responsible for controlling mystical forces, and chooses which totemic avatars are worthy of their powers, the Bride"s role is in weaving hidden threads, enabling Spider-Totems to arise through chance, magic, curses, or unwanted luck.
And his Totem like the 616 Peter Parker was given directly to him by the Totem G.o.d, he didn"t know but the 616 Spider-Man was known as the Prime Totem, that which lies at the center of the web, and which benefits most from it.
Our Peter comes from Universe 891211, and is now the home of the Champion Totem, Peter didn"t know what that entailed yet, but he figured it couldn"t be a small role in the days to come.
As they arrived at Stranges place they noticed that the door was opened, the voice of a young woman was yelling inside, "I don"t care if you"re the sorcerer of the whole d.a.m.n world, that artifact belongs to the Inhumans, and if you don"t hand it over then you"re in for a world of hurt."
"Miss Crystal, I told you before, your ancestors gave this relic to the Sorcerer Supreme years ago as a sign of peace, I don"t know much about your current leader, but as his sister in law, shouldn"t you be working to improve the relations with an ally of the Inhumans, rather than squander our partnership?" Strange seemed to be trying to reason with her.
"I keep telling my big brother that magic is a shame, and you"re nothing more than a swindler. I don"t know which Inhuman you are, or perhaps you"re not even human at all, maybe a Mutant." Crystal shouted.
Peter and MJ walked up the stairs and saw Crystal who was the sister of Medusa the Queen of the Inhumans, she had short bright orange hair and had an appealing appearance, her facial features were top notch and could only be called a beauty no matter which way you looked at her. Her body was lean perfectly toned, she was clearly trained in combat, and was around the same age as them. she seemed to be holding a strange crystal in her hand and was pointing her finger at Strange while shouting, "I don"t care what happened in the past, I was told to gather up the keys and return them to Attilan."
"If you would please allow me to speak to your leader," Strange said holding his hand up, "Ha! Talking to big brother is pointless for a mortal, do you wish to die."
"I think he"s referring to speaking with his mind, after all, the Sorcerer Supreme could easily speak with him using Telepathy," Peter said as he walked up the steps.
"Who are you?" Crystal turned around to see the two in costume.
"What have you been living under a rock, we"re your friendly neighborhood Spidey Couple!" MJ replied.
