After dying in a car crash, I woke up in the body of fourteen year old Peter Parker in an unfamiliar Marvel universe. Iconic heroes have become villains. Some of Spidey's greatest enemies are now his closest allies. There are fates here worse than death, and there's more than the neighborhood at stake... but I made a promise to go down swinging, and that's what I'm going to do. A.K.A. A twenty-four-year old dies in a car crash and wakes up in the body of fourteen-year-old Peter Parker. Major inspiration from the New Ultimate comicsMinor inspiration from the Absolute DC universe. NOTE: We are 300k words into the story. I will edit where I can, but because of my personal circumstances I will not be able to edit everything at once, nor will it be quick. I have written over 50 chapters for this story (at this time, whether it's all posted or not) and proper editing would have me starting from scratch to be perfectly honest due to my own personal preferences. (Maybe one day.) Also, another thing. This was my first foray into writing 1st person. I admit it comes off a bit wonky at times, but I have never written with AI and never will.
