Bab 4: Spider Aren’t Meant to be Swallowed!
"Hey Nick, are you alright? You're kinda blanking out.." Mary Jane questions but I'm too shocked to respond. I've swallowed a spider, that alone would be enough to freak me out but it's not just any spider, it's a FUCKING RADIOACTIVE SPIDER!
I turn without giving MJ anther glance and sprint out of the room, coming into the hallway I look around until I spot an exit and proceed to run to it. I barge out into an alleyway and pull out my phone and unlock it and- HOly ShIT EVERYthinG Is BluRry. I collapse to the floor dropping my phone as well. I- I try to move but I can't. My fingers just twitch, i try to bring my fingers to my mouth to make myself vomit but they just won't move. I- I'm going to die...
"N- Nick, a- are you alright? Wait here, I'm going to get some help!" It seems that MJ followed me and has found me collapsed on the floor. She tries to leave but I muster enough strength to talk to her. "M- MJ, m- my phone, it's unl- unlocked. Call E- Earl Grey, t- tell him it's a- a MUTATE SITUATION, okay?"
MJ is starting to panic. "No Nick, you need to get to the hospital. I'm going to get the teacher!" I can't go to the hospital, this incident will be on record and will leave a trail, I can't have Osborn taking an interest in me as well as Peter. "No!" I shout "JUST CAll Earl, no.. Hospi.. tals....." I black out..

I've been waking up then blacking out for sometime, I can't tell how long it's been.
I open my eyes and look around. I'm in the basement where I do all my research, I'm on a gurney and there's some stuff hooked up to me, I manage to get a glimpse of Earl before I pass out again...
I open my eyes and see Mary Jane, she's placing a wet cloth on my forehead, it stings, our eyes meet before I pass out again...
I open my eyes and immediately my ears are hurting, I see Mary Jane and Earl across the room. They are shouting at each other, MJ wants to take me to the hospital but Earl won't allow it. My eyelids begin to close...
Each time I wake up some other part of my body is hurting constantly, each part feels like it's constantly tearing itself apart and the sensory input I'm getting is all messed up...
[][][][]
I've continued to wake up and black out countless times and my whole body is in pain. My entire being is a facsimile of oblivion until it just wasn't anymore.
I wake up and I'm not in pain anymore, no more oblivion. I open my eyes and everything's different, I see so much more now. I can focus on a tiny minuscule crack in the ceiling and I can hear a fly buzzing around in another part of the house.
All my senses are jacked up to eleven and it's gonna take some getting used to. I'm going to need to test my abilities but first I need to know how long I was out. I really hope it wasn't more than a month, that would mean I lost a lot of time I could be researching.
I shout out for Earl and he hears me and comes into the basement. "Earl, how long have i been out?" He looks relieved to see me awake. "It's been a week Master Nicholas, I've already contacted your school and told them that you were sick but you gave us all quite the fright."
"All?" I question. "Yes, myself and miss Watson. When I came to the alleyway to bring you home she insisted that she come along." Right, I remember seeing her a few times when I woke up. "She has been especially worried, she has been coming here everyday after school to look after you. And every day we would always have an argument about taking you to the hospital. I'm actually quite glad that you've awoken, I don't know how much longer I could have resisted her constant badgering." Yes Mary Jane can be quite persistent.
"And what about me? Is there anything wrong with me? What did you do to look after me during the week?" I question, wondering how I survived swallowing the spider. The spider bite that Peter got only was injected a small amount of radioactive spider venom into him, I swallowed the irradiated spider along with its entire venom sac, I really should have died and I don't know why I didn't.
"Sir, I didn't know what to do, I checked you over and I couldn't find the problem but you were burning up. I knew it was a mutate situation but there is no protocol on how to deal with such things and a hospital wouldn't help you, I thought it prudent to keep you here and regularly wipe you down and feed you with IV bags. I don't know why but you were constantly in a state of starvation, there had to be a IV bag hooked to you constantly, we ended up using 150 IV bags alone to keep you satiated and you started to wake up more frequently so I thought it was fine to continue on doing so." 150 IV bags? I must have been using all of my bodies energy to acclimate to the changes and needed more nutrients to do so fully. I don't think any other baseline human in the planet would be able to survive this, thankfully due to my enhanced soul my body was able to eventually adapt but the energy wouldn't just come from anywhere, that's what the 150 IV bags were for.
"Thank you for your help Earl, it is most appreciated." Earl looks pleased. "Do not forget to thank miss Watson as well, her help was invaluable in keeping you healthy, she also helped with your catheter and sponge baths as well." Huh, I guess Mary Jane managed to get into my pants after all. This means I will have to start interacting with her from now on, I am grateful for her help. "I will be sure to do that Earl, I am not an ungrateful person."
"I didn't say you were master Nicholas, I have the utmost assurance of your strength of character. You were raised to have a great moral strength, I saw that you had that and that's why I gave you my training though the practical aspects haven't been so great due to my advanced age." Earl is actually really old, he was one of the first people to join shield and he had worked there for 60 years improving his skill sets. The first half of his career was as a field agent until he got a debilitating injury (I don't know what it is, he doesn't want to share that), and then he spent the rest of his career gathering intelligence and worked as an operator. Admittedly he is quite rusty in the physical department and my martial prowess isn't the greatest but his help has been invaluable.
"Earl, you have raised me to the best of your ability and I am grateful. I don't know what I would do without you... Anyway, I will have to start testing my abilities and finding my limits but first I need to have a shower and get something to eat." I stand up and begin to walk to the stairs out of the basement.
"Sir, if I may ask, how did the mutate situation occur? I'm afraid I do not know the full circumstances." I pause at the base of the stairs and turn to look at him. " I ingested a radioactive spider that had been experimented on by Oscorp scientists in an effort to replicate the Super Soldier Serum which powered Captain America.." He looks thoroughly bewildered and that's my cue to start making my way up the stairs.
I hear him whisper to himself. "You swallowed a spider and got super powers..."
