Chapter 2: Learning More
(Queens, New York. March, 2011. Y/N's age: 14)
Y/N's P.O.V
After waking up I take a shower and change before going downstairs.
I see Jordan on the couch watching the news.
Y/N: Morning, Jordan.
Jordan: Morning, kiddo.
The report shows an attack in a small town in New Mexico.
After that a news report about Spider-Man appears.
Jordan sighs.
Jordan: Ah, Spider-Man. He thinks he can just swing around in his crappy suit and answer to no-one.
Y/N: I don't know, Jordan. It seems like he's just trying to make things safer for people.
Jordan: Then he should just join the police department like I did and other's.
Y/N: I guess so. Well, I better get going. See ya later.
Jordan: See ya.
I grab my backpack and leave the house.
After that I head down an alleyway and change into my suit.
Swinging to school is quicker and Iris has already left, so I can't get a ride.
(Ten minutes later)
Right now I'm on my way to school and swinging there in my suit.
Just then my spider sense goes off.
I look down to see cop cars after an SUV with robbers in it.
Y/N: Ah, crap. Gotta deal with that.
I swing in and drop down on the SUV and deal with the robber with the rifle.
(A/N: Just imagine it's Y/N's in his suit from the bio.)
After that I fire webbing into the SUV to tie the other's up.
I quickly jump onto the hood and use web lines to stop the SUV.
Once the cops show up I leave as I'm not looking to get arrested.
(Fifteen minutes later)
I've just made it to school after stopping a mugging on the way.
I walk through the doors and cover my suit up with my shirt as I had to change really quick.
I then see Harry coming over.
Harry: Hey, bro.
Y/N: Hey, what's up?
We clapse hands.
Harry: Come on, we need to get to class before it starts.
We quickly walk to class.
(Several hour later)
I'm now at home and walk into the kitchen to see Sarah.
Y/N: Hey, Sarah.
Sarah: Hey, sweetheart. Where's your sister?
Y/N: At a study session. Where's Jordan?
Jordan: Right here.
I look over to see him come out of the basement with some boxes.
Y/N: Oh, hi.
I look down and see his feet are wet.
Y/N: Where's the flood?
He starts to walk back to the basement.
Jordan: Come with me and I'll show you.
I shake my head and go down to the basement with Jordan.
So we're now down in a flooded basement.
Jordan: I think it might be the condenser tray.
Y/N: Nah, there's too much water for the condenser tray, or the heat exchange tubing. It's gotta be the fill line.
Jordan: That's the only thing that makes sense. Can you fix it?
Y/N: I can, but not today. I'll go by the hardware store tomorrow.
Jordan: Good deal. I'm gonna take these boxes upstairs.
He grabs two boxes.
Jordan: Grab anything else that's worth saving.
Y/N: Got it.
I start looking for other stuff.
As I'm doing this I find briefcase, and it looks familiar, I'm not sure why.
I go back up with the briefcase and see Jordan and Sarah sitting at the table.
They see me with the briefcase.
Jordan: I forgot all about that thing. It was your dad's.
I nod.
Sarah: He wanted us to keep it safe for him just before he left for...
Jordan: Your mum got your dad that briefcase for his first day at Oscorp.
I look through the briefcase.
Y/N: There's nothing in here. Why would he ask you to keep it safe if there's nothing here?
Sarah: Your father was a very secretive man, Y/N.
I chuckle.
Y/N: Yeah, I know.
I then pull out a picture of my father with another man.
I show it to them.
Y/N: Who's that?
Jordan shrugs.
Jordan: Some friend of your dad's, I think.
Sarah then comes over.
Sarah: Just take this off the table, okay?
I nod and lift it off the table.
(Two hours later)
After dinner I go up to my room to look through the briefcase.
I sit on the floor and take everything out before laying it out on the floor.
I then find my dad's badge from when he worked at Oscorp and I remember the last thing he said to me before he and mum left.
Peter: Be good for your aunt and uncle, okay?
Y/N: Where are you going?
Peter: I can't tell you right now, but we'll be home soon. I promise.
Before I could look more I hear a knock at my door.
Jordan: Y/N?
Y/N: Yeah, one sec.
I put all the stuff away, open the door and immediately sit down at my desk.
I then see Jordan come into the room.
Jordan: You okay, kiddo?
Y/N: Yeah, what's up?
He then smiles.
Jordan: You look just like your dad with those on. Is it okay if I sit?
Y/N: Yeah.
He comes in and sits on my bed and I turn to face him.
Jordan: Listen, kiddo, I know it's been rough for you without your parents, especially your father. And I know we don't talk much about him.
Y/N: It's okay.
Jordan: No, it's not. I wish I could change it. I really do.
Jordan sighs.
Jordan: Curt Connors. That's the name of the guy in the picture with your dad. They were partners when your dad worked at Oscorp.
Y/N: Oh.
Jordan: After the night your parents died, we didn't see him again. He never even called.
Y/N: Thank you for telling me this. In a weird way it feels good to have some type of closure, I guess.
Jordan: You're welcome.
Jordan gets up and starts to leave, but I call to him.
Y/N: Hey, Jordan.
He turns back.
Jordan: Yeah?
Y/N: You're a pretty great dad. You know that, right?
He smiles.
Jordan: Thanks, kiddo. That means alot. Now, you get some sleep.
I nod as he closes the door.
After that I look up Curt Connors.
I need to know what he can tell me about my parents.
