7A/N: I do not own Spider-man all rights belong to Sony.
For everyone here I sincerely apologize for stopping the previous story. It went ways I did not imagine it would go to. I think I got a little lost within my own story, and was heavily disappointed in myself. Will this one be better? That's up to you to decide. I'll try me best to somehow fix the other story for everyone who had enjoyed it. For now, please enjoy this story I've made, and from now on I'll be more careful. Thanks everyone, and sorry once more.

Just a Normal Life
Chapter One: Origins
Let me tell you a story. A story that we aren't familiar with in Spider-man. You see, in the original Spider-man, Peter Parker was just a normal high school student. Well… He was more of the nerd and loser, but that's besides the point. One day he was bitten by a radioactive Spider that gave him superhuman powers and that changed his world forever, for better and worse.
Uncle Ben… One of Peter's most prominent parent figures died because of him. The guilt ate his heart, soul, and mind. Vowing to never let it happen to anyone every again, he wanted to use his powers of the good of the world. He wanted to be the hero to everyone's Uncle Ben and more, and thus he became Spider-man.
However, this story is not about that Spider-man…
Undisclosed Location
"Callum?! Callum! Come on we have to hurry!" A young ten-year-old Peter screamed. His voice barely reaching the young boy behind him. The facilities deafening alarms were going off, with red lights flashing all over the tunnels. The two boys were covered in dirt and their clothes were all raggedy, only a piece of grey cloth covering their bodies and their privates.
"Just go! I can catch up!" Callum screamed back as loud as he could. He shot a look backwards and saw multiple shadows of men chasing after them. The young boy noticed three shadowy figures fly right past the men's shadows, and cold sweat started to run down his face. "Go! Go!"
Peter didn't need to be told twice. He started running down the concrete tunnel with Callum following closely behind him. As luck would have it, they ran into a steel reinforced door that was already overridden to be closed. Who ever was chasing these two, didn't want to let them escape.
"What do we do now!?" Callum asked in a state of panic. Peter looked around the dead end, and he felt a slight breeze on his cheek. Peter turned to his right and saw an ever so small crack in the wall, a smile of salvation grew on his face as he pointed at the wall for Callum.
"Callum! Break this wall, it looks likes it's structural integrity is compromised!" A young Peter explained. Callum gave a wide grin and slapped him on the back before winding up his right arm backwards, a crimson light generating from his hand.
*BOOM*
The concrete wall was blown to bits and a heavy spray of sea water hit the two boys faces. They couldn't see that well as it was nightfall, adding in with a heavy storm. Even with the darkness, the boys could barely hear the waves of the ocean crashing into the rocks beneath them.
Callum, being curious took one step forwards when Peter's senses kicked in and pulled him back in roughly. "Be careful!" Peter screamed just saving Callum from probable death. "I think that's a pretty long drop…"
"Maybe… 200 feet?" Callum guessed from the sounds of the waves. They couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, and the only thing they could feel was the concrete underneath their feet and the million drops of rain. Luckily for them a flash of lightning lit up the sky and the bottom were revealed for a spilt second.
"Oh my god!" Peter screamed in unison with the clap of thunder. Fear was the main emotion the two were feeling as the drop was definitely around 200 feet, if not maybe 300. Peter's senses went off again, feeling the three from before gaining on them, and this only added more stress to the situation.
"We have to jump!" The both of them said. The two grasped each others hand as they took a large breath. The two leapt off the cliff, screaming in unison only to stop abruptly when they hit the violent waves of the ocean….
Manhattan, New York.
Six Years Later
Peter's eyes shot wide open just as the dream ended with him and Callum hitting the ocean. Six years went by since then, and to be honest it was kind of a blur. He remembers the escape clearly, and so did Callum, but they both didn't remember that much prior to that, except for the fact that, they can do things, most people can't. However, that part never really came into discussion, and they wanted to keep it that way. They loved their life right now, and wouldn't want to jeopardize that.
*knock* *knock*
"Pete? You awake? May and Ben are calling us down for breakfast" Callum said after briefly knocking on his door. Peter looked at his clock and it was 7:50 in the morning. School started at 8:30 for them, and they were nearing the end of the school year, more specifically their last school year. After two more weeks, they were going to graduate.
"Graduating school huh? Never thought that would happen to us" Peter gave a light laugh at the thought. Six years ago, they were just some random kids Ben and May found near the shore of Long Beach. They took them in like it was nothing, offering to help them in any way they can. He and Callum couldn't believe there were such kind people in the world, they were lucky.
"Oh! There he is!" Callum waved over the now 17-year-old Peter. The two grew up well in May and Ben's household. Both of them grew to around 5 ft 11 with Callum only being an inch shorter, but in terms of body, they were both fit as hell. They never really showed anybody except May and Ben, who were absolutely amazed how fit they were, considering all they did was study, game, and eat.
"Sorry I was uh… Studying" An attempted lie from Peter but was easily waved off by May, and Ben. Callum merely shook his head and beckoned him to sit down beside him.
"Okay Petey. Whatever you say" May replied setting down a healthy stack of her infamous wheat cakes. They were paired with a healthy bunch of berries, eggs, and a cup of coffee. This was the usual meal for the Parkers, until May decides its time for some greens… Which all of them dread.
"Looks amazing as always" Peter immediately started to dig in to his food, and the same thing always happens. May tell him to slow down or he'll choke, while Ben would just say he's a growing boy. Callum would just stare at him amazed at how fast he can just down the plate and ask…
"Do you even try to chew?"
The Parkers were probably the definition of a normal family. Two parent figures working nine to five jobs. May fixes up supper, and Ben usually does the laundry, fixes anything from leaking ceilings to scratched up paint. Callum and Peter were probably the ideal sons, going to school everyday getting good marks, and always tries to help around the house. A normal family with normal problems, except… Maybe relationships…
"Morning Peter, Callum!" As the boys walked outside towards their bus stop they were greeted by a beautiful red-haired girl. This girl's name is Mary Jane Watson, also Peter's crush since they were taken in by Ben and May. Callum and Peter could clearly remember they day they met her….
~Flashback~
"Callum, Peter this our neighbour's daughter, Mary Jane Watson. Say hello." May said giving the two a little push forward. At this point they were wearing normal clothing, as greeting some in rags is… Not normal. Callum and Peter thought immediately she was pretty but Peter reacted a little more flushed than Callum.
"Nice to meet you Mary Jane. My name is Callum Parker, I'm, well… Peter's younger brother, only by a few days" Callum said giving a nice wave and warm smile.
"I'm Mary Jane nice to meet you too Callum. I hope we can be good friends!" Mary Jane replied with a smile of her own which made Peter who was just staring at her, blush. May, Ben, and MJ's parents noticed this and thought it was the cutest thing ever. "And you are?" asked MJ.
"I… I am… Pee…. Pee-Pee" Peter couldn't find the words in his mouth. His eyes were locked onto MJ whilst Callum was trying really hard not to laugh at Peter's Pee-Pee introduction. "Peeett… Peter…"
"Uh…" MJ gave the young Peter an odd look. He was mumbling his name, at least from what she heard.
"He's Peter, Peter Parker. He's just really amazed about how pretty you are" Callum straight forwardly blurted out. Peter's pupils minimized and snapped his head to his brother, whilst MJ looked down on the ground in embarrassment, although secretly happy about the compliment. The parents of the three started to giggle and laugh at Peter's and MJ's reactions, thinking THIS was the cutest thing ever.
"Why did you say that?!" Peter whispered angrily into Callum's ear, looking at MJ from time to time.
"What? You were choking, I was just trying to help. It was true anyways right?" Callum replied as Peter couldn't look at MJ anymore, at least on that day.
~Flashback End~
"Hello? Peter?" Callum waved his hand in front of the 16-year-old. Peter snapped back into the present looking at the two in front of him. He guessed he spaced out for way to long and was probably just standing staring at her like a weirdo. "Say good morning at least."
"G-G-G-Good morning… MJ… Uh… Um… H-How…" Peter stuttered multiple times, trying to again, find the right words. MJ merely tried to hold back some of her laughter, whilst Callum was shaking his head.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Hey MJ! Come on, let's go babe!" A nice BMW pulled up in front of their drive way. The boy sitting inside was a high school student named Flash Thompson, the guy who loved to make Peter's, and Callum's life a living hell. MJ and Flash were dating as well, which didn't help Peter's heart, especially since they've been going out since tenth grade.
"Okay, Flash gimme me a few seconds!" MJ replied loudly. She ran over to give the two boys a quick hug before running over to Flash's car, "Good to see you two. You look… Good Peter" She said with a really quick wink, one that Peter could not see as he was still processing the hug. MJ got into Flash's car and the two went off to the streets, but not before Flash sent a threatening glare at the two.
"A-Are you doing!?" Peter yelled scaring Callum out of his pants. "Wha? What happened?! Did it go well?!"
"Oh yeah! For sure. She was very warm and kind, and you in turn were very polite, calm and respectful. I think it went very well!" Callum sarcastically answered, with Peter looking at him with glowing eyes.
"Really?!"
"NO! It was awkward as hell man… Jesus. For a second there I thought you were going to say Pee-Pee again" Callum mocked, and Peter was reliving those embarrassing memories all over gain.
"God it was that bad…" Peter sunk to the ground and grabbed his knee's trying not to think of what had happened. Whenever he see's MJ he blanks out and can only see her, and it makes him nervous as hell.
"Come on Pete, we'll talk about it on the bus. Were going to be late" Callum said, dragging his older brother down the street towards the bus stop. As the two got on they were instantly stared at by the other students on the bus. The two weren't the most popular kids in school, they always kept to themselves, which somehow labels them as weirdos…. Its high school what do you expect?
"Are you going to ask her out at some point? Or at least tell her how you feel?" Callum asked taking out a laptop from his backpack. He laptop was shared by the two of them, and they usually stuffed it with some weird concept ideas. Callum opened up one where it showed some sort of weird wrist mounted gadget.
"Ask her out? She has a boyfriend, one that can…" Peter started but stopped mid thought, only to be finished by Callum.
"One that can what? Beat you up? Yeah that's not going to happen even if you wanted him to" Callum said finishing up Peter's thought. The love-struck boy shook his head and continued his argument.
"Look either way, she has a boyfriend, one that has a nice car too. Besides I highly doubt she'd ever like me anyways… Have you seen me try to talk to her?" Peter asked, with Callum giving him a are you serious kind of look.
"I don't know Pete. The world is filled with possibilities, don't sell yourself short" Callum said trying to reassure his brother. Peter merely sighed and shook his head and his attention drifted outside. He watched jealously as couples held hands and unconsciously…
"Don't touch my hand" Callum said still looking at the laptop.
"Sorry…"
