[A/N: So I want to try writing in the first person POV y'all should tell me what you think.]
The city was a blur as I swung towards the Power Grid, trying to stop Electro. Our battle hadn't been up to an hour but it already feels like eternity. My eyes widened as I see Electro, now a blue streak, moving even faster.
"Anna any help?" I ask,the desperation sounding clearer than my voice.
"Unfortunately no Peter. I can't give you any tips on swinging faster because I haven't actually swung before." She replies, her voice calm, but I can still sense the panic.
The Power Grid, a dark green metallic object, the pillar of the city's light.
I land on a wooden pillar, observing. And then I see him, Electro. He flies up to the sky, not too high though, but high enough for me to see that his glow was a lot more brighter. My Spider sense screamed at me, trying to warn me.
.[Man I give up, back to third person 😭]
WOOOONG!
That's all Spiderman heard, and next thing he knew he was in the sky loosing consciousness.
He didn't see Electro move, his spider sense seemed to have reacted too late, but that didn't matter anymore. While he was trying to pull himself back to consciousness, a deafening sound was heard, and a air cracking blow was delivered. Peter's body felt like he was been punched by Goliath on steroids, but this time with severe overdose.
BOOM!
The ground grunted, as Spiderman crashed down, cracks resembling Spider webs appearing. A punch, a kick? Peter couldn't tell. The only clear thing was that he was going to die.
His suit had absorbed a lot of energy, the Spider symbol glowed brightly.
——spider sense ——
No time to think, just dodge. And that's exactly what Spiderman did. A smooth backflip and an ear splitting roar passed him, destroying a wall behind him.
There was no time to celebrate as another one hit him directly in the chest.
"Ahhh!" Peter screamed as he flew backwards.
Electro suddenly appeared and dropped himself like a bolt of lightning, striking down on Spiderman.
The already damaged ground became even worse, as Spiderman lay unmoving in a deep pit created by his own body.
"This is the end little spider." Electro said with a smile, as the clouds sparked with blue light. The lightning gathered above them, specifically above Spiderman.
"Stand up Peter! Don't let that thing hit you! The suit can absorb electricity but that amount of force can burst a regular humans chest open!" Anna screamed, already sobbing. "Peter please stand up!"
But Peter didn't respond. He just lay there, unable to move.
BOOOM!!!!
"No!" Anna screamed, bursting into tears. The mega bolt had hit Peter directly in the chest, on the spider symbol.
Electro burst into an evil laughter, rejoicing over his victory.
Peter opened his eyes, and he was in a white room.
"Hello? Where am I?"
Suddenly uncle Ben appeared, and Peter gasped, running towards him. He hugged his uncle very tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"Uncle Ben! Oh God it's really you! I missed you uncle Ben! Life has been hard without you! I mean yeah we eat but May still cries every night uncle Ben. It's really difficult for her to pay the bills, I'm now a superhero and I can't even help my own aunt! I am weak, a lot of people died because of me! And I —ahhh I don't even know what I'm saying anymore." Peter rambled on, still crying.
"You are not weak Peter. You're the strongest a d bravest man I've seen. I know how hard life is, I've been watching you. But you never gave up, and I respect that. Peter, your time hasn't come yet, go back. And remember, with great power—"
"—comes great responsibility!" Peter yelled, jumping back to his feet.
Electro gasped, and Anna screamed in joy.
Spiderman's suit sparked, and soon he was coated with bio electric energy.
"Let's dance Electro!"
"Peter what are you doing?" Anna's worried voice asked. "Hope you are NOT planning on fighting ELECTRO with ELECTRICITY!"
"I'm going to initiate a kinetic discharge maneuver — essentially weaponizing Electro's own voltage againsting the absorbed current through the suit's capacitive matrix and releasing it at the moment of impact, my fist becomes a high-energy conduit. The sudden destabilization of his bioelectric field will induce oscillatory overload, disrupting his charge equilibrium long enough for me to deliver a knockout strike. In layman's terms: I'm going to hit him with his own power, destabilize his system, and drop him like a shorted circuit."
Anna frowned as she ran some calculations.
"Peter that's too risky! You could end up charging up Electro."
"I'll have to at least try!"
Bang!
Spiderman's feet destroyed the ground as he dashed towards Electro. Electro charged forward too, throwing a punch. Around Spiderman's hand formed an electric gauntlet, that literally roared.
And then their fist connected.
BOOM!!!
It was horrible.
The sound came first, and then the explosion.
The coty felt it's ground shake, as windows miles away from the battle field scattered, people were pushed back by the shockwave.
Spiderman lay on the ground, again, his suit horribly destroyed.
Electro was now a regular man, but with blue electrical aura moving around him.
And to the shock of Anna, Electro stood up. Peter's plan worked, but he held the burning end of the stick.
Even more surprisingly, Spiderman stood up too.
Both of them moved slowly, and soon started sprinting.
Blow after blow, kick after kick.
It wasn't a scuffle.
It was an all out brawl.
Blood flew around, sounds of bones cracking almost seemed normal, yet none of them paused. And then it was finally time.
They knew it.
The last blow.
Electro gathered all his energy, creating a gauntlet similar to Spiderman's own.
The latter drew a stance, clenched his fist, and prepared to end it. He didn't want to use any electrical energy because he knew Anna needed it for research, since he had used 95% in that catastrophic punch.
But suddenly he paused.
'Why am I holding back?'
'Maybe just once. Just this once.'
'I'm not going to hold back.'
Then they charged.
Both panting, sweating, and bloody. But still charging forward.
The sound of their fists connecting sounded like a bomb.
Spiderman hadn't held back, and he was surprised at how strong he was.
Electro's hand snapped like a twig, and he was flung backwards. He kept on flying backwards, crashing into walls, bursting out of the Power Grid back into the city, and then he finally landed, half dead.
The battle was over.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Shocker frowned. Electro had lost. He didn't know, as he had no idea of the Electro suit, but all he knew was that Electro has lost. Hw smirked, good news though, Spiderman was injured . He was weak, vulnerable.
And he wasn't going to give up this opportunity.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
WEB
Peter lay on a bed as some mechanical attended to his wounds.
"Anna, are you okay?" Peter asked, as he noticed how she was occasionally giving him weird glances.
"I think I'm supposed to be asking you that. Don't talk, just rest." Anna replied, but Peter wasn't relenting.
"Anna, tell me what is going on." Peter said, frowning slightly.
"You used the bio electricity stored in the suit mid battle right?"
"Yes. When I created that cool gauntlet. It also helped me move faster."
"Yes. But I haven't added that feature yet."
Peter was quiet.
Wait did she mean—
"I used bio electricity naturally?"
"Yes. Like your body adapted, or learnt. I'm just extremely confused right now. You aren't supposed to be able to do that!"
"I think I need to sleep now." Peter replied, closing his eyes.
Anna adjusts her glasses, her voice trembling with both excitement and unease. "I planned on adding a few mods to the suit to give you the ability to channel electricity siphoned from Electro, Peter… but I didn't think you could do it on your own. This isn't normal. Could it be your neuromuscular ion channels, maybe even your sub-dermal bioelectric membranes, absorbing the charge and re-synthesizing it? Or perhaps your mitochondrial electrocyte clusters — those microscopic energy factories — have adapted to store and release current like an eel. Did your cortical synapse regulators somehow recalibrate under stress, turning your nervous system into a living capacitor? Or… maybe you always had this latent ability, and the suit was just the trigger that unlocked it. Either way, Peter, this isn't just tech anymore — it's biology rewriting itself in real time."
She kept on rambling, even though Peter was fast asleep.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Two daya has passed, and the city was slowly recovering.
Well Peter seemed to recover faster than the city. He was back in action, though he was still in unimaginable pain.
Peter sat down on the couch in his house, watching TV. He walked to the kitchen to check what he was cooking when he heard J. Jonah Jameson's voice from his TV.
"—a menace! That's what he is!"
Peter frowned, were they talking about some new villain.
"This Spiderman or whatever he calls himself must be stopped and questioned! Look at the damage he caused during his scuffle with that Electro freak! These masked vigilantes are responsible for the problems of this city!"
Peter turned off the TV and sat down, placing his head on his hands.
Aunt May had gone to visit a friend so he was home alone.
"Hmmm....maybe if I join the Avengers, JJJ will finally chill and see me as a hero."
He decided to talk to Anna about it.
[A/N: Thanks for your patience. I tried my best to write two chapters even though it means me not getting enough sleep. I have school tomorrow— I mean today. Don't mind any typo please. And run me your pockets 🙂]
