Midtown High.
That name rings a bell for most of the people. The famous school in Marvel that has a tendency of breaking down every month and being rebuilt every week.
Surprisingly, the most famous teenage hero to attend this school was Peter Parker. Spider-Man, as we know him.
Nonetheless, this highschool didn't have a Peter Parker. It had a variant of the same being, called Petra Parker. And this world was also quite aesthetically odd.
Out of 2 Billion population(Many people keep dying because of the dangers), 98% had already evolved to the next step of mankind. Futanari.
They were stronger, faster and smarter. Of course, the trade-off came at the price of pleasure.
Their pleasure hormones were highly numbed. Almost all physical pleasures were toned down to an extent. Hence, many people began taking interest in mental pleasures, such as crimes.
Even for a Marvel world, the crime rates were nothing to be scoffed at. It was still better than the Zombie verse though.
Haze Klutz sighed as he walked down the halls of Midtown High.
18 years. That's how long it had been since he had opened his eyes in this world. He was born as a male from the 2% population, that had yet to evolve.
From a young age, he saw a woman flying in a suit of armor, mutants saving the world from aliens and politicians and heard of ninjas fighting the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
Hopeful and excited at first, Haze soon realized his own weakness and gave up. He decided to stick to being a NPC. Yet a part of him wanted to have better security so he did the only thing he knew how to.
Using 26 years of experience, he approached a 6-year-old Petra Parker and won her over(not a pedo!). Of course, he made sure to keep enough distance from her.
His exact thoughts were:
'You never know when I might become the 'Canon Event' for this version.'
Which didn't end up well, especially because he fell in love with the naive, bright kid(Still not pedo since they are the same age!).
And for the past 2 years, they had been dating.
"At first, I was worried about my A-V-card. But unlike the normal standards, the futanari here aren't that lustful."
Haze reminisced about his platonic relationship with Petra. The most intimate they had gotten, was holding hands. Relationships in this world was more about the mental safety and security that the other person brought, not that of the flesh.
"Haze~"
An exasperated voice called out to him, coming from the right.
He turned his head and saw her.
Soft, brown hair falling to her waist. Bright, brown eyes. A strange twinkle oozed out from her tired expression. Her face, covered by her hair and glasses, looked nerdy and cute.
Freckles on her pink cheeks and a height that matched Haze, standing at 5'7". Soon, a blush began spreading through her pale skin.
"Why are you staring so intently?! D-don't tell me-"
Petra stepped back, adopting a defensive posture.
"-You want to sell my kidneys for that new toy that came out!"
"It's not a toy! It's Optimus Pr-Ahem! No, not that! Why would I sell your kidney!?"
Haze retorted to her at the spur of the moment, only to realize he was heading towards the wrong point. Petra simply chuckled at his confounded expression and clashed their shoulders.
"Chill, I was just joking. You really are so childish~"
"Hah! Says the one who stayed up all night, wondering about today's Oscorp tour."
He scoffed and folded his arms, snapping his head to the side.
Petra poked his cheeks, trying to break his anger, "Come on, how can't I be excited!? It's Oscorp!! My parents used to work there!! And it's the lead industry in all bio-engineered products!!"
Her dream job was to work there. Something that Haze barely acquiesced to.
"Things aren't often as they seem."
He gave his input, knowing she wouldn't heed the words.
"Really? What do you have against O-"
Petra was about to rant about Haze's incessant, unexplained rivalry with Oscorp. But was interrupted by another girl.
"What are you two love-birds talking about?"
A beautiful girl with massive assets, walked in. Her short, black hair and sharp, black eyes went well with the blood-shaded lips.
Moreover, she was towering above both Haze and Petra. Having a height of 6'1".
Wearing a top-crop and thigh-high jeans, Harriet pocketed her hands and smiled smugly at her two childhood friends. Almost gloating at them from above.
"Harri, you're here!"
Petra was happy to see her friend return from Oscorp's company trip abroad while Haze only nodded at her with a hint of worry in his blue eyes.
Harriet was, in a sense, Petra's true childhood friend. If Petra's parents and Harri's parents were alive, these two might have already been betrothed to each other.
Haze knew that she had feelings for Petra. Ever since Petra and he started dating, Harriet began investing herself in the company, as if trying to use work to escape the heartache from a broken love.
Harri stepped up to hug Petra, happy to see her too. However, Haze moved faster and hugged her, taking Petra's place.
'Hah! You ain't touching her, you fox!'
Unnoticed by Haze, Harri's hands stiffened and then tightened around him. As if trying to pull him deeper.
"Ouf! You have gotten stronger, Harri. Are you working out?"
Haze broke the hug and patted her biceps, feeling both the soft skin and the strong muscles underneath.
"Y-yeah, and you have gotten softer. Aren't you simply slacking off?"
There was a certain rigidness in her movements as she looked away while speaking.
'I knew this bi*ch wanted to hug my Petra! She's probably angry she can't hug her!!'
Haze didn't know this, but he was quite a beauty too.
Standing at 5'7", his raven hair and shimmering, blue eyes were a sight to admire. A healthy, skin tone with a round, androgynous face and petite body.
Many women felt a desire to use him as their body pillows, even when they didn't have that high of a libido.
He wore a baggy hoodie and comfortable pants, highlighting his cuteness with his homebody style. Unaware of the emotions he gave to others, he believed that Petra was the cutest in the world.
"Harri, by the way, I wanted to talk to you about something. Can we talk in someplace private?"
Petra gestured towards the bathroom, giving Haze a shock.
Harri glanced at Haze and nodded with a mischievous smile, as if reading all his thoughts.
"Sure, let's go, My~ Petra~"
She swung a hand around Petra's shoulder and led her to the bathroom, swinging her curvy hips on the way.
'WHAT!?! Petra!?'
"I will be back soon."
Petra bid goodbye while Harri added fuel to the flame, "Maybe it can take an hour or two."
"Argh!"
Haze grinded his teeth, watching them leave. He wanted to follow them, but that was too much, even by his standards.
He trusted Petra. Though that other b*tch was the problem.
'Serves you well to tease me so~'
While Harri was inwardly smirking at Haze's apparent dilemma.
"Grrr~ I knew Oscorp couldn't be trusted!"
"They probably do human experiments!"
A voice added.
"And hide their bodies in the basement!"
"Along with cute boys like you~ Punishing them for being naughty~"
"Yeah-Wait, what?"
"Pfftt~"
A sneaky figure grabbed Haze from behind, circling her hands around his waist. Haze tried to get out of the grasp but could only struggle without any result.
"Hey, Ava, let go of me!"
He looked up and saw a cat-like face looking down on him.
Ava Ayala, the future White Tiger, was a tan-skinned woman. With an instinct to tease other people, especially the naive-looking ones.
She stood taller than Harri, her figure while not as bodacious was more slender and fit. She had her long, brown hair tied in a pony while one of her canines protruded from her lips.
Her black eyes gleamed as if she caught her prey, waiting to devour it.
Haze also felt something poking against his back.
'W-what's with that size!? It's so big while soft! No!'
He shook those thoughts and hurried out of her grasp.
"You-how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me, Ava!?"
"Aw~ But I like playing with you~"
She spoke in a coquettish voice.
"Stop using your fake tone!"
Their bickering was a usual scene so many students ignored them and walked by.
"By the way, are you prepared for the arcade competition next week?!"
Ava and Haze first met at an old arcade. As a millennial, Haze believed that arcades were better than mobile games. And Ava shared the same thoughts, allowing them to get closer faster.
"Of course. This time by next week, I will have tekken you down!"
"..."
"React, you-"
"Yeah, yeah, my chihuahua, calm down."
In a way, he was no different than a pup to Ava. Short in height and even shorter in temper. For someone trained to be a warrior of the White Tiger, his actions barely held any threat.
"Your puns still need some working on."
Ava locked her fingers behind her head and looked up. Her sleeveless dress gave a view of her bare armpits. Her defenseless posture showed her trust in him.
Though a subtle scent of milk also leaked from her chocolatey skin.
"What about the others? Will they be present?"
"Aunt Cami has to take of her granddaughters and Orco might make it."
The Arcade lovers had only 4 members. With 2 of them being way older in age.
"Anyway, we can still enjoy it."
"No doubt about that. So, are you going to Oscorp today? Or skip classes as usual?"
Haze's pointed glare stabbed Ava's conscience. She couldn't say that she was going around saving people in her hero costume but didn't like lying to him either.
"Skipping classes. Oscorp gives me a weird vibe."
"I know, right!?"
Haze nodded his head in agreement. Green Goblin, Vulture, Electro, Goblin Jr., Lizard, Dr. Oc and many more villains. Half of Spider-Man's villains originated from that company.
"If Harri wasn't the heir, Oscorp wouldn't have any future at a-... Shit!"
Haze finally remembered that Harri took his Petra to the bathroom and hadn't returned yet. It had been enough time for a talk, hadn't it!? What were they doing exactly?
"I'm coming to save you!"
"Save who?"
Ava tilted her head in confusion, looking at Haze rush off to somewhere. As if hypnotized, her eyes automatically followed him.
"Now, I'm alone... Meh~ He has a girlfriend... Though I'm not letting him go so easily next week. I will beat him until he begs for mercy."
Looking a bit lonely, she turned around and walked away.
Haze rushed down the hallway, noticing Harri and Petra walking out of the bathroom. Harri looked happy, though something sad and lonely was reflected in her eyes.
While Petra was blushing unnecessarily, hiding something in her pocket diligently.
"Yo, Haze, why are you here?"
Harri's voice brought Petra out of her daze, she looked at Haze and stiffened up.
"Ah-Uh-I'm going to the bus first!"
Saying so, Petra rushed towards the entrance of the school.
Haze watched her back and tilted his head. Though suspicious, it didn't look like something bad happened.
'Did she watch porn or something?'
His own reaction was quite similar in his past life. The first time was always because of a perverted friend, who can't stop himself from sharing the 'goods'.
"Aren't you going to follow her?"
Harri leaned closer and whispered haughtily, acting as if she had stolen his girlfriend.
"Are you okay?"
As much as Haze distrusted Harri, he also knew that she abided by some codes. She wouldn't try to break the current relation that they had. Simply because she was a coward.
He was more worried about the reason why she looked so lonely. She too was a friend, after all. And being with Petra, one tends to pick up her kindness.
"..."
Harri saw the worry and concern, making her frown and glare.
- Thud!
Before Haze could realize it, he was pushed against the wall and held by his shoulder. Harri's cold gaze peered into his eyes.
For the first time, Haze felt that he was meeting someone else and not a friend.
"Petra's a lucky girl. You better take good care of her."
Harri spat it out, as if breaking her relations with Petra and bidding her goodbye. While her hand was grasping his shoulder tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Hah!" Haze shot back a glare, "I know. But I will give you a piece of advice."
If they weren't about to lie around, Haze didn't feel any need to hide his actual thoughts either.
"If you truly love her, try to give your best, you coward!"
At least now, he could be jealous and angry if Harri tried to get closer to Petra. Before it may have come off as possessive but now, this was war.
Haze didn't want to be possessive, but a warrior sounded cool.
- Crick!
Her grip on him strengthened.
"Urgh!"
Haze grabbed her wrist with both his hands, trying to push it away.
'Okay, I'm not cut out to be a warrior! Please give up on Petra!'
Despite his thoughts, he put on a brave front.
"And what if you lose her?"
"You might be stronger. But there isn't a thing you can do to steal her away from me! So, give it your best and lose instead of crying in a corner, you bi*ch!"
"Heh!"
Harri snickered and let go of his shoulder.
"You will regret this, Haze."
"Like hell I will, bi*ch!"
Though Haze was increasing his competition, he knew that Petra wouldn't cheat on him. And as a friend of Harri, he couldn't see her mop around either. He trusted both Harri and Petra, knowing that they wouldn't end up together.
It was a source of his confidence and also the reason why he wanted Harri to move on from her first crush.
Once she tried and lost, she could finally give up and move ahead. Otherwise a part of her would always imagine what could have happened had she mustered up enough courage.
After all, he too gathered up all the courage he had to face the Marvel world with Petra. When he confessed, he was resolved to bear the burden and pain that would come.
Haze left her behind and moved towards the buses too. With hurried steps. Before Harri lost her cool and beat him up.
... And what if it isn't Petra that I like?
That voice was too soft and far away to be heard by anyone.
'Shit! Shit! SHIT!'
Inside Haze's mind, he was cursing himself.
'Why did I help my competitor!? Damn my hormones!'
Being a teenager wasn't easy, despite being over the age of 38.
"Haze, over here!"
Entering the bus, headed for Oscorp, he turned to Petra, who was waving widely.
He sighed and slapped his cheeks.
'Oh, well, I won't lose Petra. Definitely!'
He sat down next to Petra and noticed something falling out of her pocket onto the floor.
"Hey, you dropped-..."
Haze leaned down to pick up the square packet, only to realize what it was.
"..."
Petra's eyeballs widened enough to replace saucers.
"Ahem! It's natural to have this!"
He swiftly passed the extra-thin, extra-long condom to Petra and looked away.
"No-! I can explain! It was-It was Harri! She-"
"I understand, Petra! I do!"
'Wait, who's going to use that condom again?'
Haze nodded with a smug smile, happy to tease Petra, only to freeze in realization. His anus tightened, hoping for the best.
"I hate you, HARRI!!"
"Uh-Haze?!"
