Chapter 4: Chapter 4:Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy [Edited]
Peter Parker P.O.V
Today, I got bullied again by Flash. I can't even tell this to Aunt May and Uncle Ben as I don't want them to worry about me.
While I was getting smashed against a locker by Flash, someone walked out wearing a black hoodie and white hat with weird tattoos and told Flash to stop.
Flash stopped hitting me but tried to bully the new guy. He tried to make him eat cupcakes on which he threw his spit. But the next thing that happened shocked me as the guy twisted Flash's hand like it was nothing and smashed him with the cupcakes.
At this time, Harry came to help me up.
I saw that the tattoo guy looked at Flash who was trying to stand up from the punch to his gut.
As the tattoo guy was about to walk away,Liz interrupted him by shouting at him "You have no right to hit Flash, I will have you reported to the school authorities."
The guy looked at her with calm eyes and said "I would appreciate it if you do not interrupt me in my ignoring time. As for why I got Flash, you should get your eyes checked."
Liz retorted by saying "But he didn't punch you or hit you in any way."
"I don't know what it is that makes you so stupid but it really works." He said as he ignored her and focused his attention back to Flash.
"The common mistake that bullies make is assuming that because someone is nice that he or she is weak. Those traits have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it takes considerable strength and character to be a good person. Maybe you would think about it and change for the better in the future." He said as Flash, Liz and their friends left for their respective classes.
He then looked at me and said "You know I got made fun of constantly during my junior school. That's what built my character. That's what makes you who you are. When you get made fun of, when people point out your weakness, that's just another opportunity for you to rise above.When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless."
He then helped me up and walked to his locker to place his belongings there. He then walked to his class.
I got inspired by what he said and decided that I would start standing up for myself starting today.

Gwen Stacy P.O.V
As I arrived at school, I saw Flash bullying Peter again. I was about to step up but then I saw a guy with weird tattoos who walked up to Flash. He looked like one of the mafia gang members, Dad sends to prison.
But when he stood up for himself and Peter and he even punched Flash, my opinion about him changed a little but he still looked weird to me.
I always wanted to punch Flash but I never did. It was nice to see someone standing up to Flash and punching him. Oh the smashing of cupcakes was just icing on the cake.
He then went to his class and I also went to my class.
----P.O.V. change ----
Law Cromwell P.O.V.
After helping Peter out, I walked to my class as I thought about how complicated this universe is with characters from both the Tobey Maguire spiderman as well as Andrew Garfield Spiderman.
I tried to recall all the spiderman villains that spiderman himself faced in the earlier stage of his career as a superhero including the villains from the spiderman movies.
Let's see we have Norman Osborne Green Goblin, Harry Osborne Green Goblin, Doctor Octavius, Venom, Sandman, the Lizard, Electro, Rhino, Kraven the hunter, Mysterio, Jackal and the list goes on. How can I forget about the baddest criminal of them all John Jonah Jameson Jr. The one who ruins spiderman's life more than the villains themselves.
I don't know how many of them will be in this universe but still making friends with Peter would make my life troublesome as Spiderman villains always tend to kidnap Peter's loved ones whether it is aunt May, Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy.
But I didn't care about this one bit. I have superpowers to save myself and at least this time my life will be thrilling and exciting. Besides, Under my estimation it would take Peter at least another year or two before he becomes Spiderman. Enough time for me to strengthen myself.
I decided to keep the city safe and hunt down these small criminals until Spiderman is born. It would help me gain more fighting experience as small as it maybe and I have not killed anyone so it would be better if I get the experience earlier on.
As I entered the class, I decided I would start my hero journey from today and the mercenary and miracle doctor journey in an year after I get Urahara's tech knowledge to make a site as well as enough strength to protect myself.
