It's a little short but I couldn't stop thinking about this!
6 months ago, Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider. Most people know what follows; the sticking, the murder of uncle Ben, the suit making and revenging turned heroing. But what nobody knows is what happens after his best friend finds out.
You see, Peter dealt with this change by himself; he didn't see his new abilities as anything other then a way to help others.
Ned, although sometimes slow to draw, had his moments of pure genius.
"Have you trial and errored your abilities yet?"
"What? No!" Peter shook his head, the two walking towards Peter's.
"How do you know what you're capable of doing if you don't figure it out?"
"I don't know, I usually do that when I'm out," Peter confessed. Ned pulled to a stop and Peter turned to give him a questioning gaze.
"No, Peter! You have to test yourself in a controlled environment! Haven't you read any DC comics?!"
"DC sucks, Ned," Peter chastised.
"I'm going to let that slide," Ned pointed a finger at Peter, eyes narrowed. "We gotta do it. Record our findings, keep a log of what you can and can't do. That way you won't be surprised if you're faced with something other than a cat in a tree."
And that was how Peter and Ned found themselves in the middle of an abandoned General Motors parking lot with a camera and tripod and various items.
Ned was the camera guy slash note taker slash button pusher, and Peter was the star of the experimental videos.
The first experiment was testing Peter's reflexes. Ned threw objects of various shapes and sizes and Peter would catch them or dodge them.
The second was seeing how strong Peter was. He lifted Ned up no problem, even pushed a large metal trash bin across the lot without breaking a sweat.
The third experiment was testing his metabolism. That was a two part experiment. The first part was seeing how much he could eat in one sitting; he beat the world champion in competitive eating. The second was to determine what amount of sedatives would effectively render Peter unconscious.
It took 3 elephant tranquilizers before Peter was on the ground.
The fourth experiment was to see what exactly Peter could stick to. It started out with different textures of walls; brick, drywall, shower walls, concrete, glass.
Then Ned started asking the real questions. Wondering if Peter could stick to non-stick frying pans, surfaces with oil on it. Yes, and no. They discovered.
Peter never showed the videos to anyone. They were a little embarrassing, if Peter was honest. He was far too childish about it, and half the videos were of him and Ned messing around and laughing. Definitely not what Peter would call scientific research.
It's only a little after the airport fight between Tony and Captain America that someone finds the videos hidden in the dark recesses of his phone.
"What are these?" Tony smirked, clicking on the video in amusement.
Peter's eyes widen in horror. "No, don't its nothing!" Peter scrambles off the sofa, tripping over himself as he rushes to grab the phone from Tony.
"I want to see them," Tony chuckled, holding the phone over his head. Peter goes to use his web shooters to snatch the phone, but Tony slaps his arm away.
"Please, Mr. Stark, its embarrassing!" Peter all but whined.
Tony thought for a moment, weighing what Peter said. Peter hopes he gives the phone back but he knows he wont.
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours?"
"W-what?" Peter's momentarily taken aback by the compromise.
Tony shrugged. "Come on, kid."
Peter watched Tony pocket his phone as he followed the older man down the hall to his workshop.
In the privacy of his basement, Tony connected Peter's "primitive phone" -Tony's words- up to his system.
The first video was displayed on the hologram between the two.
"Let me watch yours, and you can watch mine," Tony said, not playing the video until Peter gave his okay.
"You made videos too?" Peter asked dubiously. He couldn't see the legendary Tony Stark making videos testing his products.
"Sure do, kid," Tony grinned. "Gotta keep track of my progress somehow, right?"
"You willing to let me see yours?" Tony raised an eyebrow. Peter bit his lip before nodding.
"JARVIS, pull up Mark two project file, put it on the big screen," Tony spoke. Peter was glad Tony didn't want to see his videos first.
JARVIS had the videos of Tony replace the ones of Peter, and the two leaned against the work bench to watch.
"Day 11 test 37, configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dum-E is still on fire safety. If you douse me again and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college. Alright, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with 1% thrust capacity. In 3 2 1."
