Surprises

On my desk is a black box with a white spider symbol right at the top.

You may be asking yourself, how is this possible? I am truly fortunate that my initial plan worked. My plan was to join the Avengers by Endgame just for this.

I intended to leave a way for me to get powers before 2012, by time travel. Somewhere along the line a future version of myself was able to send a formula vial that I was to be able to inject myself with, and get powers before the irradiated spider even appeared.

My breath quickens as I speed walk over to my table and begin to unpack the box inside.

A thin cold fog escapes the box as it reveals a red vial with a white spider symbol embedded on the glass, also in the box is a syringe, a note and a small package at the bottom of the box.

I open the note and begin to read,

"Hello~! Little Evan,

I got you a present! Inside this package is a vial that when injected will grant you spider powers! It was a pain for me to make in my timeline since I left some surprises! Anyway, in my timeline I had to actually work my way to get powers by taking the spider before it could get Peter.

Naturally this came with some cause and effects....let's just say everything doesn't end up well for Pete. I did not want that to happen again so I sent you powers before the spider happens.

I also left you some new gloves since, you're gonna need them, you'll have to make due with everything else yourself, sorry! Remember to not care too much about 'canon', I can't say what will happen to you as your life will be fundamentally different from mine, but always stay resilient as it could be worse....also, please never forget that with great power comes great responsibility.

P.S. you still have to deal with Thanos since I went to Morag instead of Nebula preventing Thanos from ever leaving your time stream. Stay safe and make the best of what you can,

-Original Paradoxical Evan"

'What the hell, seems my life wasn't that good getting powers so late in the game. I mean if I did get them then, it would only be 3 or so years with them before Thanos. Must have not worked out well, considering we lost like endgame.'

I open the package and see some standard classic Spider-Man gloves,

'I wonder why I need these instead of the ones I made. Hmm the material seem to be made out of something different but similar? I can't really tell.'

I quickly double check if my door is locked and grab the red vial. I take out the syringe it came in and inject it into the vein on my right arm. I grit my teeth at the slight burning I feel in my arm before I quickly finish injecting the rest of the bottle. I feel like I just ran 3 marathons and begin to feel drenched in my own sweat before quickly blacking out on my bed.

6 Hours later.....

I awoke and turn to my clock to see its 1 am. I turn on my light and look in the mirror. My already athletic body, exudes power as I feel all my muscles tighten and contract as my general appearance has become much fuller and I look like an Olympic swimmer, no better.

I wonder what the extra surprises are? I quickly grab my bag with all my gear then put on my red hoodie and jeans before escaping out my window.

I head to the abandoned warehouse I visited earlier today and put on my mask, original gloves and shoes. It seems like a generic early outfit with the red hoodie and jeans I have on top.

I decide to try and climb a wall and face the wall before putting my fingers on it. 'Moment of truth.'

I stick my hand to the wall and attempt to pull them off and it stays stuck, 'It worked! I'm fucking Spider-Man!' I take a minute to calm down from my self induced hype and attempt to make my hand let go.

After about two tries it worked and I was able to free my hand, 'Now to climb the wall.' And after that in a very original Spider-Man movie like scene, I begin to climb the wall. I reach the top and couldn't resist letting out a 'wooop!!' from up top. I unintentionally lose focus and release my grip and begin to fall, 'shit!' In my panic I attempt to grip the wall and fail until I suddenly stop, 'How'd I stop I didn't stick to the wall...' I thought looking towards my hand.

Only to notice on each of my fingertips are 2 inch long sharp claws directly imbedded into the wall, tearing straight through my old gloves. 'What the fuck!?'

I think for a bit and come to a conclusion, 'So this is why he gave me new gloves...

I believe my future self granted me talons, the Spider-Man of 2099, Miguel O'Hara's power. Damn old me really pulled out all the stops! Wait does this mean those gloves are made out of unstable molecular fabric!?'

I focus for a bit and retract my claws back into my fingertips before landing cleanly on my feet at the floor below.

'I wonder if I got anything else new....'

I continue to experiment 'play around' for another hour and couldn't figure out any other powers I might have gotten.

I have all of Spider-Man's other abilities and if I had to guess I'd say I could lift a bit over 20 tons and run about as fast as a car. 'Note, I'm only 13 and have just started puberty.' I can cling to walls and surfaces with any part of my body and my spiders sense also works.

Let me tell you about my spider sense a bit, it's insane. I tested it by finding a ball lying around and threw at the wall behind me full strength intending to have it bounce back towards me. When the ball bounced back, after denting the wall mind you, at around over 300+ mph, I felt it. An instinctual warning. Every cell in my being from my toes to the tips of my hair told me to dodge. I reflexively jerked my entire body away as the ball spins past me and embed itself into the wall infront of me.

It seems I didn't have Miguel O'Hara's inferior spider sense as there is no way that feeling I had was inferior to what I believed.

I tested web swinging with my now instinctively refined reflexes and balance and honestly can see why Peter did it, I haven't used it on any buildings but I can guess that it would probably be a feeling like no other.

My senses are also dialed up to 11 with my vision being incredibly enhanced even gaining night vision.

I notice it's already 3am and quickly run home and climb up my wall back into the window of my room. I realize I left the box here and quickly make sure their is no traces left of the formula and dispose of it outside before returning to my room.

My mind's too exhilarated to rest and I spend the rest of my night on my bed with a smile on my face.
