Marvel Code

I went inside the classroom and sat next to Ned.

 I grinned, "Ned! Hey, man. Long week, huh?"

Ned smirked, "Yeah, feels like forever. You get taller, or is it just the shoes?"

I acted as if offended "Excuse me? I hit a growth spurt in a week, it happens."

Ned enquired, "You heard about Peter? he's in 1C. Lucky guy, got the chillest homeroom teacher. We're stuck in 1B."

"Ugh, yeah. I peeked in—looks like it's gonna be one of those 'strict but secretly nice' teachers.", I replied while nodding.

"Or just strict.", said Ned

I said, "Let's hope not. So, uh… got any classes together?"

"Math and History, I think. You?", he replied

 "Same. At least we won't be suffering alone.", I said

Ned smirked, "Always looking on the bright side, huh?" 

"Gotta survives, somehow.", I

 The bell rings, as the class Is almost full, I can recognize 2 more characters, Gwen Stacy and Michelle Jones.

 "Here we go. First day of school.", Ned whispered

"Yup. Let's just try not to embarrass ourselves too soon."

"No promises.", He said

[Lunchbreak, Cafeteria]

 I sat along with Peter and Ned; I could notice several familiar faces. Harry Osborn, Liz Allen, Flash Thompson.

I could understand and categorize the 5 social circles. At the top of the food chain was Harry Osborn's gang, 'The Royals'. or more like other rich kids sucking up to him. I already had a character Profile of most of them. I have been investigating my POI (Persons of Interest). This list is yet to be completed as I have only investigated a dozen people, as of now the others are rather hard to investigate.

Mary Jane was also with them. I kinda pity her, got an abusive father, is broke. Her only problem is that she under appreciates the kindness of others and acts like a victim. I guess it's common for domestic victims to sympathize with aggressors. Her mother died 4 years back. Her father Philip, an unsuccessful writer. He used to break stuff and sometimes even raise his hand against her mother. It's just a phase that will pass on. Probably. 

Next up is Harry Osborn, He seems to be a normal guy in general but has a deep desire to earn his father's admiration. He is like a toned down and dumber version of Tony Stark.

The second ranking group is that of the jocks and other slightly popular students, 'The Nobles', this group has Flash, Liz Allen, and others

Flash Thompson is a narcissistic little twat. He looks like that guy Tony from Hollands Spiderman. I don't know what's so scary about him, I guess he is loud mouthed and good at sports. I am glad that it's at least not the mid 30s Flash from other movies.

Liz Allen, she is a nice girl, she hangs with both Harry's group and Flashes. I have yet to investigate her father.

Next comes 'The Peasants', this includes me, Peter, Ned and quite a lot of people.

After that comes 'the Outcasts', this includes M. Jones.

There are a few folks that I call 'The Merchants', this group contains the people that

Can hang out with almost all the classes, this includes Gwen Stacy and a few others.

[Grant House, Evening]

I stepped into the house, kicking off my sneakers at the door. My backpack, heavy with books and first-day assignments, slid off my shoulder and hit the floor with a dull thud. The house smelled faintly of antiseptic.

"Mom?" I called, already knowing where she'd be.

"In here, sweetheart." Her voice drifted from the kitchen.

I walked in to find his mother, still in her white coat, sleeves rolled up as she stirred something in a pot. She must have just gotten home from the hospital. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun, and she looked up at me with tired but warm eyes.

"How was school?" she asked, setting the wooden spoon aside and giving me her full attention.

I shrugged and slid onto a stool by the counter. "Fine, I guess."

She raised an eyebrow. "Just 'fine'? That's all I get?"

I exhaled, "It was… normal. Teachers gave us the usual 'Welcome back, work hard' speech. Met a few new kids. Some of the old ones are still annoying. Oh, and the the cafeteria menu—terrible."

my mom chuckled. "Some things never change." She studied me for a moment before leaning forward. "And you? How do you feel?"

I hesitated. He hated this part—when she switched from "mom" mode to "doctor" mode. He knew she wasn't diagnosing me, but sometimes it felt like she was checking for symptoms of something neither of them could name.

"I'm fine, Mom." I looked at her.

I pressed his lips together. I knew she meant well. But it had been two years. Two years since My dad died. Two years of people tiptoeing around me, of teachers giving me soft smiles, of his mother watching me like she was waiting for a crack to form.

I did some investigation on my father's Death, his name was Jake Grant. He was a great dad, DaBest. I tried hacked into the shield Database. He was a Level 6 Agent. Who went on a mission with S.T.R.I.K.E force to Russia. I already know that Rumlow is working for Hydra, I couldn't hack into Hydra yet. They had localised servers which would require me to physically be there. I do plan to visit Zola's bunker, in the near future.

"Now," she said, standing up, "dinner's almost ready, and you are going to tell me at least one funny thing that happened today. That's a rule now."

I smirked. "That's a dumb rule."

"Too bad. Doctor's orders." She winked.

We chatted and laughed while eating dinner, I went back to my room and started working on my new project, an exoskeleton suit Inspired from Warhammer 40k, as I still need time for getting my resources and a little more research for my Extrimis V upgrade. I need almost 2 months to perfect the serum.

I call it EXS1, a lighter version, the size of my backpack. It will open up and cover my Vulnerable parts, Its extremely thin, It releases mechanical arms that will extend and align with my limbs, It has a special pair of gauntlets that covers my wrists and knuckles for some action. After I get my physical upgrade this armor would become obsolete. 

It would take me a few days to complete it. The exo suit will increase my lifting strength to 1-1.5 tons, It would increase my running speed by more than twice, I would be able to run 70Kmph. My grip strength with gauntlets becomes almost 10 times, I would be able rip out 3 inches of wood with little to no effort. It would be ready in 3 days.
