章 122: Chapter 120

"Hello girls," I walked up to them with a smile, "working hard I see."

"Hey Tiger," Felicia smiled as she gave me a quick peck on the check. She held up my hands and sighed at the cast around them, "what did the doctor say?"

"It will take a few weeks to recover," I smiled, "meaning I'll be okay this time tomorrow."

"So, is that like one of your powers?" Liz asked in a quiet whisper.

I nodded, "yeah, my body recovers fast. But ah, maybe we should hold off on that discussion until we get somewhere a little more..." I looked at the missing fourth wall, "private?"

"Yeah, maybe," MJ agreed.

With my help we had the packing done by lunch time, when Jean suggested we go out for lunch. She told her parents it was a last meal with friends sort of deal and they quickly agreed.

We went to an Italian place a few blocks over and found ourselves a quiet booth in the back, someplace I knew we wouldn't be overheard.

"How did you explain the missing wall to your parents?" MJ asked.

"Professor Xavier told them their foundation was broken," Jean shrugged, "they didn't really believe him, but they don't really know what else to think. I think my dad's going to hire someone to figure it out though."

MJ nodded, "cool, by the way what happened to the crazy magnet guy?"

"SHIELD has him in lock up," I told them, "as of last night he was taken into a black site and locked in with the keys thrown away. We won't be hearing from him any time soon."

"Okay, can we finally talk about this now?" Liz asked, her paitences finally running out, "you're Spider-man!"

"Quietly!" I hissed, looking around, thank God no one over heard that, "yes Liz, I'm Spider-man, happy?"

"How?!" she asked.

I sighed, "remember that field trip we took? The time I got bit by that spider?"

"Yeah," she drawed out her answer.

"It altered my genetic code, gave me spider powers. I became faster, stronger and could cling on walls. Hence, Spider-man. There, happy?"

"But how? It was just a spider right?" MJ asked in surprise.

"No, it was a genetically altered spider that was radiated," I didn't mention the fact my blood could also adapt in different ways, too much information and all that.

"What about the webs?" Jean asked.

"Artificial," I shrugged, "I designed them myself at home."

"You did that?" MJ asked before rolling her eyes, "of course you did, why do I even bother asking?"

And so I spent the rest of the afternoon and better part of the evening explaining what I did and why I did it. I didn't tell them everything, things like my research into my own blood or SHIELD training me.

"So wait, you found a way to reverse engineer the Iron Man suit?!" Liz asked in shock as we walked through a local park.

I chuckled, "not all of it, no, just the arc reactor and the repulsor beams. It's fascinating really, really top notch stuff."

"Wow," Jean said, "so like, do you know other heros?"

I shrugged, "not really. The ones I know are the Fantastic Four."

"Wait, do they know about your...other job?" MJ phrased the wording very carefully.

"Yeah, the first fight with Doom I got knocked out, they took care of me and they found out. But they were totally cool about it, Johnny especially, he was so excited he got a buddy to play superhero with."

"Oh my God this is so freaking weird!" Liz yelled out, Felicia chuckled and Liz narrowed her eyes on her, "and don't you dare laugh! How long have you known?!"

Felicia rolled her eyes, "since December."

"December," MJ repeated slowly, "almost half a year? And you...how did you keep it a secret for so long?"

Felicia smiled, wrapped her arms around mine, "he's my Tiger, how could I ever betray him?"

I smirked, "oh Kitten, just for that, you are so getting some tonight."

"Oh no, no no, you two aren't doing anything tonight!" Liz quickly announced, "tonight is Jean's last day in New York so we are spending the time together!"

I looked at Felicia who shrugged. I nodded, "alright, fair enough. Any idea?"

Liz grinned, "yeah….party time!"

That night:

"This is not what I meant!" Liz cried out as we all sat in MJ's room. Anna was visiting MJ's parents for the weekend, so we had the place all to ourselves. So we did what people would normal do to have fun, play Monopoly, I was the race car, obviously, and right now MJ was winning.

"I don't like clubs," MJ replied.

"And I don't want to spend the entire night trying to scare bitches from stealing my man," Felicia shrugged.

"Same," I replied.

"Yeah well sorry, but I'm not used to large crowds just yet" Jean winced, "too loud."

"Thought's still giving you trouble?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's...difficult. I try to keep them out like you taught me, but sometimes a few come through."

I shrugged, "well relax, I'm sure Baldy will be more than happy to help you."

"You still don't care for him huh?" Jean asked.

I nodded, "obviously. He violated their personal privacy Jean, how would you like it if someone read your thoughts and took out a secret you have been holding on? Like, what if you were gay, didn't realise it, but then Baldy just announced it to everyone?"

"Well she's definitely not gay," Liz mumbled as she sipped from her bottle of beer. It was the only alcohol we got for the night, I figured a few bottles couldn't be that bad right?

"Peter's right though," MJ nodded, "be careful Jean, I don't trust him."

Jean nodded, "yeah, I will."

"Oh, and don't go all philosophical on us," Felicia snorted, "that's something we don't need."

"I'll drink to that," I raised my bottle, "to Jean Grey, mutant extraordinaire and awesome friend."

"To Jean!" the others raised a glass.

Jean blushed, "thanks you guys, you're the best."

We chuckled drinking the warm liquid. I'll admit, this isn't the first drink I ever had, but it is the first drink Peter's body ever consumed, and I didn't realise that. So when I chugged it down, expecting it to go do smoothly, I was mistaken.

章 123: Chapter 121

I coughed. Felicia patted my back, "you okay Tiger?"

I nodded, "yeah, stronger than I thought."

"It's just beer," Felicia told with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah," I trailed off awkwardly

"Wait a minute, Parker, is this the first time your drinking?" Liz asked in barely hidden joy.

I rolled my eyes, "no...I just haven't had it in a long time."

"Really? What's your favorite drink?"

"Vodka with vanilla and mint," I replied, yes, my taste in drinks were odd, sue me.

"Huh, I've never seen you drink that," Felicia said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, I told you, I don't really drink that often, especially since I started, you know," I made the devil horn with my hand pretending to shoot webs, "swinging around the city in break neck speeds is much more enjoyable, trust me."

"How does it feel?" MJ asked curiously.

"Like the world's problems don't matter," I smiled, "the first jump is scary, true, but the swing down, that's stomach turning. But when I swing upwards and let go, flying through the air for a split second….that's when it feels like I'm not even human anymore."

The girls were in silent awe, before Felicia spoke up, "well Tiger, that's because you really aren't."

I grinned, "well, you do always keep calling me 'God! God!' whenever we're alone, so I'm inclined to agree."

Felicia blushed red as the others laughed hard. We talked into the night, MJ talked about this new play she was trying for, Liz talked about how Flash would so freak out if he learnt Peter was actually his favorite hero and Jean just took it all in.

Soon though I realised the bottles of alcohol had been slowly piling up in one corner, my metabolism however wasn't letting me get drunk, I had finished ten bottles single handedly. And the girls noticed.

"How come you're drunk passed out drunk?" Liz asked, her words a little slurred.

"My body process the alcohol better," I shrugged, "I'm a little tipsy, but nothing much."

"Well that's not fair at all!" MJ cried out with a giggle, "y-you need to drink some more Mr. Spider! We're all getting drunk tonight!"

"She's right Tiger," Felicia huffed, her cheeks now red, "you need to get drunk too!"

"I don't think I can Kitten," I chuckled finishing off bottle number 11, "it's very difficult."

"I know!" Liz suddenly called out. She took her bag and searched inside, pulling out a metal flask the size of my hand, "whiskey! The strongest shit my dad has!"

"I don't know-"

"Oh come on Peter! Where's your sense of adventure!" Jean cried out, "I'm leaving tomorrow dammit, I demand the chance to watch you make a fool of yourself!"

"Come on Tiger," Felicia kissed my cheek, "live a little."

I looked at them and sighed, "fine, fine, I'll do it. Shesh, you girls are impossible."

"Says the guy who can crawl up the side of a building," MJ huffed.

I took the flask and sniffed it, the scent of liquor rolling off of it. I shrugged and took a sip, the smooth burning sensation rushing down my throat.

I sighed, "not bad."

"Great, now, who's turn was it again?" Liz asked picking up the dice.

"Mine," Felicia said rolling the dice and getting a three, "Trafalgar Square, I'm buying it."

"What? No! I need it! I already have the other two!" MJ cried out.

"Sorry Red, that's life," Felicia shrugged.

"Come on Felicia! Please! You don't even like it! Plus it's red! Shouldn't the red head have red?!"

"Why, then what about me?!" Jean cried out.

"Ah….you already have the pink set right?"

"Yeah? And?"

"Well then you can't have both!" MJ cried out.

The game carried on, and I began to drink more and more. I was losing, badly. MJ was a shrewd business woman, cutting shady deals with people behind our backs, feigning a lack of interest to make us desperate. Only Jean was immune, and I think that's because she could read MJ's mind.

Eventually I ran out of money, but instead of kicking me off the board like they were supposed to do, they instead just had me drink from the flask instead of paying rent. It was humiliating real, back in my real body I was the king of this game, but now I was getting schooled. Fucking teenage girls, I just know they're cheating somehow!

And eventually the game drew to a close when Liz cried out, "that's it! I quit! MJ's totally cheating!"

"Am not!" MJ laughed.

"Are too!" Felicia cried out, she's really competitive when she got drunk, and right now she was really drunk. "You keep making these shitty backdoor deals! You told me you wouldn't charge me rent four five turns if I gave you Mayfair, but offered Liz the same deal!"

"Yeah! And you then tried to make me give you my cards in exchange for the Utilities!" Jean yelled.

"Plus I saw you stealing money from the bank when no one was looking," I add with a smirk.

"What?!" the girls yelled as they all turned to Jean with a glare.

The red head gave a nervous laughter, "I-ah….I still win bitches!"

"I hate this game!" Liz threw her cash down in anger, "I'm going to bed!"

"Here, I'll show you to aunt Anna's room, just don't puke in it okay? Or you're going to help me clean it up," MJ got up and walked Liz out.

I sighed and leaned back, the flask was finally empty, I was finally starting to feel drunk, well, maybe a little buzzed, but not full on drunk.

I turned to Felicia, "so you staying here tonight?"

Felicia leaned into my shoulder, "yeah, I'll sleep on the couch down stairs. Jean, MJ said there's a guest room you can use."

Jean nodded, "yeah, I know."
