I shrugged, "I don't know, the green guy looked like he had it all handled."
"Trust me son, he didn't," Ross snorted, "it's humans like you and me who keep people safe, you did your country a great service today son. Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you, just ask."
I blinked, this was unexpected. "Ah, thanks...I guess," I looked around, people were snapping photos of me, I needed to disappear, now! "Anyway, bye!" I turned and ran towards a light post. I jumped and landed on the top before launching a web line and swinging away back to my stash of regular clothes and MJ.
"Sir should we follow him?" a soldier asked Ross.
"No, let him be, he isn't our enemy," Thunderbolt ordered as he turned to his daughter and sighed. Tonight was going to be a long one.
I landed in the alley way with my bag attached to the wall. I opened it and quickly changed into my regular clothes, which was quite a challenge when you're standing perpendicular to gravity.
Once I was back in my normal clothes I stuffed my…'uniform' into the bag and threw it into burning car. I couldn't bring it with me, MJ would ask where I found a bag, and I certainly couldn't leave it behind in case SHIELD or even Ross started to get curious.
With all evidence destroyed I took out my phone and found three missed calls from home and one form MJ.
I called MJ first, "hey, it's me, where are you?"
"Peter? Oh thank God! You're aunt has been worried sick! I'm at the Starbucks down the street near the Ambulance."
I looked around and spotted her, "I see you," I quickly ran to her and grabbed her into a hug, "I'm glad you're safe."
"Me?! What about you?! When I told your aunt what you were doing she nearly got a heart attack!" MJ yelled as she broke the hug.
"Shit," I cursed, I really didn't want to get yelled at, "I'm sorry. Are you okay? Did anything happen?"
"No, no, I'm fine. What about you?"
"Helped out a few soldiers stuck in a helicopter, the fight is over, some guy in a red hoodie and mask came in and stopped that raging monster."
MJ blinked, "some guy?"
I nodded, "yeah. I couldn't catch him name though, he spoke to the general there and then just left. I think he was a superhero."
"I see..." she narrowed he eyes at me, I gulped, "fine. We're going home, now. And you're going to call your aunt and tell her you're alright. I swear, the last thing I need is her death on my concious."
"Right," I agreed as we tried to hail a cab, but since the city was in complete disarray we couldn't get one. We were forced to use the bus instead, and on the way I had to sit and listen to aunt May ye at me through the phone.
By the time we got onto the train May got tried at yelling at me. She hung up with the promise of more yelling the moment I get home. I sighed as I disengaged the call and leaned back my seat.
"That bad?" MJ asked.
"Yeah."
"Well you deserved it," she huffed.
"I was just trying to help," I shrugged.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack Peter!"
"That seems to be going around theses days," I smirked.
MJ groaned, "I'm serious. I literally just meet you and news flash if you got yourself killed that would be a shitty way for me to start school."
I smirked, "awe, I love you too," growing bold I pressed a little peck on her cheeks causing MJ to blush.
"Gr, you're lucky you're so cute," she huffed, "still, what were you thinking going off on your own like that? What is you had gotten hurt?"
"I couldn't just stay there and do nothing," I argued, "I'm not that kind of guy."
"I thought you didn't want to be a hero. Isn't it stupid or something?"
I was silent for the longest time, "maybe," I replied, "but to be honest….I don't think I was ever going just stand by and let people get hurt. Not when I can prevent it, or at least stop it from hurting any more."
"And why is that you're job?"
I smirked, "with great power comes great responsibility."
"How zen, where did you hear that one?"
"Uncle Ben," I told her, "it's his favorite line. I...I think I'm just starting to understand what he meant."
"Hm, he's a wise man."
"Yup."
"But you do know he's still going to whoop your ass the moment you get home right?"
I sighed, "yup."
"Good," she chuckled, leaning her head on my shoulder. My body was sore, especially my arms. The amount of muscle strength I needed to swing from building to building was intense, I would need to start working out. Maybe somewhere privately? Some place no one can see me. After all if they saw someone like me benching half a ton or something they would freak out.
"For what it's worth though Peter, you're my hero," she pressed her lips on my cheek and gave it a smack, "good job Tiger."
I blushed as silence reigned between us. The train's constant shaking filled our ear. MJ looked exhausted, and so was I. I just fought the Abomination, and won! I knew I would be big news this time tomorrow, maybe it's time I take this whole thing seriously.
I have super powers now, how long have I always wanted super powers? And now I have them! I could help people...no, I had to help people. Guess in the end nothing I never really had any choice in this life, I have to become Spider-man, I had to become hero.
Looks like life just got a whole lot more complicated..

"What were you thinking?!" Aunt May yelled.
"I was just trying to help," I argued.
"By leaving Mary Jane alone to go into a war zone?!"
"She was safe-"
"-I don't care Peter! What you did was whole irresponsible and dangerous! You were lucky to be alive! I don't understand why you did that!"
"I...I wanted to help-"
"-Are you the police?! Are you the army? You are just a child Peter and-"
"-And because of me one man is going home tonight to his family!" I snapped, "I saved his life, and many more. I don't regret what I did."
May looked horrified, I don't' think Peter ever snapped back at her like this, but then again I'm not Peter Parker.
"May, maybe we should call it a night," Uncle Ben spoke softly, "gone on, go to bed. I'll handle this."
"But Ben I-"
"-it's alright May, just go," Ben gently assured her. She nodded sadly as she turned and left, leaving Ben and I alone at the dining table.
"I didn't mean to snap," I apologized.
"It's alright Peter, I understand," he said softly.
"I was just trying to help I didn't mean-"
"-I understand Peter," he repeated, softer this time, "you have too realise, you're all May and I have, if we lost you..."
"I saved someone Uncle Ben, isn't that what you always taught me to do? If I can help someone, isn't it my duty to do so?"
"Yes, I suppose it is," he smiled, "go to bed Peter, we'll talk about this in the morning. Don't' forget you have school tomorrow."
I nodded, "right...night uncle Ben."
"Good night Peter," he replied as I walked upstairs into my bed and locked the door behind me. I sat down on my bed and sighed, talking out my busted web shooter. I had one working and the other one is a complete mess.
I worked on it for a while before giving up, it was broken, I needed to make a new one. Actually, if I was serious about the whole hero business I neto upgrade these things. I needed them to be more durable and hold more webbing. Maybe even try and make different types of webbing. That would have been so useful against Abomination.
Suddenly there was a knock on my window, I swiped by desk clear pushing the web shooters on the floor before I looked up to find MJ waving at me.
I blinked in confusion as I opened the door, "Peepers? How did you-"
"-Climb up you tree," she pointed to a large tree next to my window, "can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure," I stepped aside letting her in, shutting the window behind her, "so what's up?"
"Nothing. Did your aunt and uncle yell at you a lot?"
I sighed, "yeah, but I deserve it. You?"
"No, aunt Anna understood it wasn't anyone's fault. If anything she thinks I should have gone with you. Honestly though, she wouldn't stop talking about how amazing you are," she said rolling her eyes.
"Hm, not amazing, maybe spectacular," I snickered.
"Don't go growing an ego on me Parker," MJ hissed, "but yeah, you're pretty cool tonight. Especially the way you saved that man's life. That pole must have weighed a ton!"
I shrugged, "maybe. But I didn't really notice, too busy trying to save him."
"Hm, you're really skinny for a strong guy," MJ noted, "you barely have a muscle on you," he noted my skinny frame.
I gulped, "well you know how it is. Adrenaline and all that," she was being suspicious, not good, not good at all!
"Maybe," she ated trailing off, "anyway I too make sure you were alright."
"Thanks, I'm fine. If anything I'm a little tired."
"Really? Because I can't sleep," MJ grumbled, "too nervous."
"Why? The Hulk ran anyway and I'm pretty sure the army has the other dude locked in ice."
"No, not that," she grumbled, "school. I'm starting my first day tomorrow!"
I chuckled, "oh, that. Relax MJ, there's no reason to panic. It's just classes, you'll do fine."
"Yeah but I mean...what if they don't like me?"
I shrugged, "who cares? Beside I doubt they won't like you're hot and smart. The guys will be falling head over heels for you and the girls will want to be your bestie."
She smiled "you think so?"
I nodded, "I know so. So relax, high school it's the end of the world." MJ smiled, we talked into the night, just me and her. When she left I was glad to have made such a nice friend, Peter needed more of them. Maybe one day she could be more, but for now, a friend was enough.
The next day:
I was in the Daily Bugle the very next day. Well, not me, but they did have the Hulk's fight in the front covers and a grainy picture of me off in the side. It looks like they had no clue who I was, people just calling me 'Webs'.
The article itself was fair and balanced, which was surprising considering it was the Bugle we were talking about. But to be fair I did save the lives of soldiers, even they couldn't label me a criminal for doing that.
The report actually called me a hero once, saying how impressive it was for someone like me to stand up to a monster. From various statements from the scene it seems the people there mention the fight was like seeing David and Goliath.
