Chapter 11: Shirt got teared...

Even though I felt the arrival of this new threat, I did not move to stop him. From what I remember he will first go kill that general, and later on the festival held by Oscorp he will kill the board of directors and almost kill MJ, but only to be stopped by Spider Man.

For now I intend to use him. I will let him attack on the festival, and kill those board directors. Why? Because after I stop him, Harry will take his place, but if those old men are still around then Harry will quickly step down because of his inexperience.

I know my methods are ruthless, but sometime there is no choice. I then spent the rest of the night working, taking some advance on the project. I may be working with Otto on the project, and showing him some results, in reality I keep most of them under my control and thus advance way faster.

Hours passed and soon it was already time for lunch the next day. I got out of my lab, and went to buy something to eat. On my way I found a stand selling the Times, and bought one. One the first page was a picture of the general pressuring Oscorp.

Turning the page I saw a more detailed article saying that the general had been attacked by an unknown group or person and was killed on a testing ground.

I sighed and ordered a hot dog, and after paying the vendor I sat on a bench and continued reading the newspaper while eating. There wasn't a lot of things happening as of now, according to the newspaper. There was something about me appearing less than before.

I laughed reading this, I have been here as Night Walker for only a month and they say that. After I finished my food I returned to my lab and continued my researches. But this time I wasn't working on the miniature sun but on the Oz formula.

I was advancing slowly, slower than I would like, but I was still advancing. The formula was very complex, and it was hard to work with. To transform this formula into something I can inject myself without side effects is not that simple.

Some may think that I just need to take out what trigger the berserk effect, but it way more complicated than that. It is like a Rubik's cube, you don't just complete it face by face, you need to change the cube as a whole.

The formula is the same, if I take out what triggers the bad effects, then the good ones will disappear too and more bad effects will appear.

But as I was working Hermes told me" Sir, Otto has sent you a message asking if you made some advancement." I nodded and replied" Send him a message with some of the data I found last week." Hermes complied and sent it.

This was how I was handling the thing with Otto. He had told me I could only work on his project while in the lab, but he had no way to know what I am doing here thanks to Hermes, so he was happy while I sent him results.

The next day I arrived at school with Peter and Liz in my car. Harry had recently gotten a car for himself and has picked up MJ today. As for me picking up Liz it was because she was living near my house and it wasn't a bother to pick her up.

We arrived and saw MJ and Harry were hugging each other on a side. I did not want to interrupt them but they saw us and waved for us to come. I shrugged and the three of us went to greet them.

Once we arrived we began talking, waiting for the bell to ring signaling us to go in class." Guys, have you seen Spider Man new suite?" I laughed and replied" Has he stopped fighting in pajamas? I mean, he's great, but a hero in pajamas, it's kinda embarrassing."

Peter flushed but Harry said" I don't care whether he comes naked or in an armor, seeing how he helps people his clothes doesn't really matter." I smiled and nodded. Liz asked" Who do you prefer, Spider Man or Night Walker?"

MJ shrugged and replied" I don't know, Night Walker saved our lives once, but he seems to be darker than Spider Man, not talking about the clothes." I was surprised she would think that but Peter butted in" But the first one to appear was Night Walker."

I could hear admiration in his voice, and asked smiling" Who do you think is stronger between the two?" That is one of the moments I curse my age, to compete over something like that…

Harry shook is head and said" I like Spider Man, but I don't think he could last long against Night Walker. I mean, he was able to fight head on against that huge monster, and for the first half of the fight he totally controlled the situation."

Peter shrugged and said" I don't know, Spider Man seems to have more dexterity." Liz was about to speak but she suddenly furrowed her brows looking behind MJ's shoulder. I looked and saw that Flash was coming with an apologetic face.

Liz asked coldly" What are you doing here Flash?" Flash responded in a calm voice" Liz, I am sorry for what I did, please forgive me." Liz frowned and replied" You cheated on me and you expect me to forgive you? Fuck off!"

Flash's calm face shattered as he replied angrily" You bitch, I don't care you were just a mean to get closer to MJ!" We looked at him in shock while he opened his eyes wide and put a hand on his mouth.

Harry looked at him furious, even more than Liz and jumped at Flash. The two began fighting, quickly gathering the attention of every student present. The two were already on the floor, Harry on top on Flash.

I sighed and walked toward the two. I put a foot on Flash's shoulder, keeping him on the ground, and easily carried Harry, separating the two. I put Harry on the ground next to me, and looked at Flash in the eyes.

I said coldly" Scram!" I took back my foot and allowed him to get up. I looked at Harry and said with an exasperated voice" Fighting won't solve anything this time, just let him be, he is pathetic, don't stand at his level."

Harry was still angry but calmed himself, and after looking coldly at Flash, he went back to MJ's side. But at that moment I felt my spider sense warn me and moved slightly to the right. At the same time someone yelled" Watch out!"

Behind me Flash had charged at me after getting up. I did not want to appear having inhuman reflexes, thus avoiding narrowly. But everything did not went like I expected it to go.

I was wearing my baggy clothes today, and I did not think about them when I avoided the big bully. He successfully grabbed my shirt, and would have made me fallen if I was a normal human.

But I did not move an inch, while he ran past me and fell on the ground. With him my sweater and my shirt teared, letting everyone see my chest.

I looked dumbfounded at my abs, and then angrily at Flash. I almost threw myself on him, that was my favorite shirt, but controlled myself and sent a wave of haki on Flash to knock him out.

But now nobody had the time to worry about Flash not getting up, they were all absorbed by my body. I turned to look at my friends, and said" I do some workout, okay?"

The girls blushed while Harry and Peter were only looking at me absentmindedly. At that moment someone got out of a car, and looked at me in shock too.

That person was my physics teacher, a woman in her late thirties. Today my first lesson would be physics, so I walked toward her, and asked" Miss, I got my clothes teared, could I please be allowed to quickly drive home and come back with clothes, I promise I will be quick."

She nodded blushing, never stopping to look at my abs. I sighed and jumped into my car, and quickly drove back home.

Then for the rest of the week everyone at school began looking at me all day, and way more girls were coming to talk to me. There were even some boys, but I ignored them all and tried to act as normal as possible.

My friends were shocked but did not spoke much about that to me, they were curious the first day but other than that they just talked to me like before. Well except the fact they call me "Greek God" sometimes to tease me.

But it was on Friday during our weekly reunion that I understood for the first time what it was to be like me. The others had proposed to go to the beach, something I easily agreed with. But once there, when I got in swim shorts I felt a chill.

I looked around and saw many pairs of eyes looking at me with lust. I quickly ran to the water and hide in it, looking at my friends coldly. After that little incident the girls wanted to do some shopping, something that seemed harmless.

But then I discovered that it wasn't to buy clothes for them, but for myself. In the end I couldn't face the power of the two girls and succumbed to them, buying plenty of slim clothes, each showing my muscular body.

Many would dream of having my body, me being first as in my past life I wanted one like that, but now that I got it, it's more of a bother than anything else.

After that experience I spent almost the entirety of my time in the lab, working on different things. After all, I was on a vacation so I have a lot of time.

The festival will be two weeks after our end of term, on a Saturday, and I will get my day off. Of course I can still go to my lab if I want but it isn't a necessity.

Five days after my end of term I finally got out of my lab. I had left a few times in the past several days, but it was only for my other job. But otherwise I did not left the lab. I had already set up a shower some time ago so I didn't have to worry about getting back home.

As for my parents they didn't have to worry about me, they knew where I was, well supposed to be, and understood how much I enjoy creating new things, innovating. And they weren't home most of the time themselves.

But today I had finally gotten out, to stay away from the lab and maybe find new ideas for my suit or the project using the adrenaline of the fights. A pity that those fights aren't really hard, the gangsters all go down too easily.

Before long I got on top of the Empire State Building, and looked at the beautiful city in front of me. I took a few pictures with my phone, crouched on the roof.

I looked around and searched for something to do as Hermes wasn't getting anything from the police radio. And then I saw what I was looking for. A bunch of bikers had stopped in front of a bar, and someone inside got out and gave them a bag.

Inside the bag was most certainly either money or drug. I smirked and gathered power in my legs, and then jumped into the air.
