Chapter 17: Chapter 17
"I know it's not safe but I need to work at night." Flash replied and Peter realized that things weren't easy for Flash even now.
His family was with grandparents and he was living alone so he needed to work for it. He was getting money from the scholarship but he must have needed more to help his family.
Peter could understand as they were in the same position here since he was also thinking of ways to make money as well to reduce the burden on his parents and provide for them. They were already so old.
"I see but still take care."
"Stop being so soapy man, I want to ask if you want to join the Spiderman Fan Club. We are going to support and help him in any way we can." Flash slapped his back with a chuckle and asked
Hitting Peter's back would usually mean that the other side felt some pain but this time Flash felt pain from hitting him. It was a light slap that friends some times did but that muscle mass was too thick.
'Did I hurt my hand today?' Flash didn���t think it was because of Peter so he wondered if he had injured his hand today.
"Spiderman Fan club? Are you sure about this and are you even allowed?" Peter was surprised by his words and asked for clarification.
"Yeah, you can make a club if you have enough members and a supervisor. We just need to give them a list of actual positive activities that the club will perform and done."
"I am surprised you actually did some research."
"Well, you gotta learn how to do things on your own before the laziness drags you down. So, are you in?"
"I will think about it as I am quite busy and don't know how my schedule is going to end up." Peter replied calmly as he looked at him.
"Come on Peter, it will be fun." Liz asked him and the request was definitely enhanced by a level with her voice and appearance but his mind was made up.
"No problem dude, come when you are ready. We can definitely work better with you around." Flash nodded and placed his hand on Liz's head
"Okay, I will see you around later. I got class now." Peter excused himself and walked away while Flash met with other people to join him.
He might have been a bully but Flash was good at socializing and had already made many friends in few days. There were also the many friends from his neighbourhood.
He had also made contact with Harry and Gwen. Harry joined the club just to check it out while it was Dr. Connor that ended up giving them the go.

After class, Peter was sitting in the library when Jessica sat down in front of him. The fact that she was also a student here had slipped his mind as he had too much on his plate.
"So, how was your night?" Jess asked as she hung her bag on the chair and looked at him with an inquisitive look.
"Not bad, I met with Naruto and he gave me the skills you asked for. Other than that we just talked like old friends and enjoyed a barbecue together before going to sleep. On the way, I thought about how I am going to earn an income and how am I going to actually live. I am thinking of selling my formula for the web fluid and make money through that first. Other than that I was also thinking of starting a business focusing on electronics and medicine." Peter answered honestly as he closed his note book. He was working out his plans carefully before acting.
"That's a lot, are you going to okay thinking about so many things at once." Jess asked as she had only thought about what happened last night. She tried to think of a way to stop it from repeating itself. This topic hadn't been touched up on in the morning so she decided to talk now.
"I am used to thinking about many things so it's not a problem. What about you? Have you given the future a thought?"
"Future, I think I will join the police or something." Jessica was unsure about her future and only knew that she wanted to protect the people somehow.
It was a desire born from the death of her parents and deeply imprinted inside of her heart. She was hurt and traumatized so she didn't want any other kid experiencing it.
"I see that you haven't really given it a serious thought yet. How about just following me and let's see where we end up?" Peter extended his hand and she caught it
"I trust you more than anyone, you know so I will be expecting some rich life from you." Jess smiled as she held his hand
"I am honoured with your trust and confidence so I won't disappoint. For now I am intending to meet others like us and we can make money by making deals with important institutions around the city, and providing them our service."
"What service?"
"Check their security level and improve it."
"Will they really listen?"
"We won't know until we try and we have nothing to lose."
"We only live once so lead the way." Jess said with a grin as she got up and kissed him on the lips
Watching this scene from a distance was Gwen who had been planning to join Peter but Jess appeared suddenly so she sat down on another table while looking at them.
She had never seen the girl and Peter had never mentioned her but from the looks of it Gwen could tell they were very close.
Seeing the kiss and the fact that Peter didn't resist, Gwen concluded she was his girl friend.
It made her feel a sting in her heart at this fact. She really didn't like it. She had been thinking that they suited each other and would get closer but this girl came out of nowhere.
'It's not final. I can still aim for him. We are better suited and everyone can make a mistake. He could have just accepted her offer since she has the looks. They are not married or anything so it's not wrong.' Gwen didn't love Peter but she liked him, she liked his intellect and even his personality wasn't bad. His looks weren't bad either.
From what she had thought, they would end up together while working together so this was an unexpected development but it didn't matter too much.
Gwen liked challenges so she just put this as a challenge to bonding with Peter. For now she left couple talk and took another seat to study.
-----------------
Just like that a week passed by as the name of Spiderman spread across the city and the criminals feared his presence, leading to lowered crime rates.
But everyone in the know felt like it was the calm before the storm.
Regardless, Peter had postponed his plan to meet heroes after failing to get a reasonable conversation with Daredevil.
But the plan to raise money was a success as Banks and other places that needed secure environment bought his selling pitch.
Peter as Spiderman checked their security in all kinds of manners and suggested improvements. It helped them become more secure against the high class criminals of the current times and the super powered individuals.
With this money Peter bought many equipment and materials with the identity of Spiderman. All these things were needed to make his proper base.
The base he made was under Mt Moses. It was a simple place made using earth manipulation as his elemental affinity was earth and it was very high.
Peter made it a proper place and also made the costume for Jess, who went by the name Huntress. He had managed to replicate the items that Naruto had provided him and was starting to work on new plans now especially with the items he had collected from criminals.
In this time he the fan club had become a big thing and they were spreading news of his acts, writing articles, speculations, even interviews and merchandise.
Gwen had managed to become a lot closer to Peter in this time and so had Felicia who had been meeting him every time he appeared.
She had been trying to seduce him every time they met and kept on targeting criminals.
She made him hot and bothered so he had made her hot and bothered as well since Naruto had bestowed upon him the immortal skills.
In a short a week a lot happened and now his life was completely transformed. As for his love life, he was unsure how that was going and had made out with Felicia and Jess countless times.
Moving on, today Peter was excited as they were on a trip to the Oscorp Lab to see the wonders being researched inside because of Doc Connor.
Peter listened with attention the details being mentioned while a radioactive spider slipped through its container through the mistake of the staff and bit Gwen on the hand, and Cindy Moon on the ankle before dying.
