After the class ended,Flash walked upto Hank and pounded on the table
"After school! Be ready you little shit!" Flash fumed as he left the class,his croneys also left with him
Harry cast an amusing glance his way before quickly catching upto MJ,while Flash was followed by Liz.
"Sigh! Highschool drama.."
"You dont appear afraid?" A soothing feminine was that he recognized all too well called out,he had heard this voice when he was watching amazing spiderman
He chuckled as he gave Gwen a look
"Oh! Should i be?"
"You know you are gonna get beaten up right?" Gwen asked,she couldn't figure out,something about Hank was different
"Relax! That baboon couldn't even scratch me even if he tried" Hank laughed it off
"Good! Someone needs to stand up to those guys" Gwen felt that Hank had finally grown up,although he still wore his faded washed up clothes,his bag that was torn in all places,he appeared totally different,Gwen couldn't help but feel like Hank was a totally different guy.
He had more confidence and even a hint of arrogance in the face of Flash's threats,he looked like a hooligan himself with that attitude
Gwen smiled at him,nodding at his changed attitude and then walked out the class
As soon as she walked out,Hank felt another hand clamp his shoulder,more like two hands on each of his shoulders
"Dude! That was fire!" Ned ,childhood friend of Peter and a friend of Hank ever since.he joined the midtown high school
"Yeah! You showed him" Peter stepped in,Hank smiled as he took in the complements,perhaps for these guys who were new to school,bullying was a tough subject,but for Hank who went through things worse then a simple bullying,one Flash thompson was nothing.
"But...maybe we should notify the teachers, or you might not get home in one piece" spoke Ned, a little worried for his friend,he knew Hank who was an orphan might not be able to afford a medical bill.
"Hmm,Ned's right, though if it comes to it, we wont stay back!" Spoke Peter as he spoke with a resolute expression, his brow creased into a frown
Although he couldnt show his spider powers in the open,if Flash thought he could bully his friends,Peter would do some stuff to make Flash pay.
"Haha! Dont worry guys,its just a big butthurt who has inferiority complex, i can handle the likes of him"
Hank made sure the two were convinced,with the talk now over,both of them made way for the cafe.
Peter and Hank, both from humble beginnings silently took the free lunch while Ned opened his own lunch box made by his grandma.
The three talked about their weekends,Since Hank wasn't available, both of them didnt plan any online game,instead they spent their time at Peters house building some Lego spaceships.
Although Ned and Pete were a bit curious about Hanks changed attitude,they chalked it up to harmones,plus they quite liked the new Hank,one who was an active participant in their discussion
The whole school day went uneventfully,Pete missed one class during the school time,Ned was a bit listless explaining things to the teacher while Hank chuckled to himself.
This universe was a lot more different, X-Men, a spider-man who came to be much earlier, and who knows what more.
Do the eternals exist, if they do, then its another can of worms for me.
Once school was over,Hank said his goodbyes to the duo and hurriedly ran for the subway for hells kitchen, with a full on sprint,he safely reached the station in time.
Sitting on the seat,Hank was busy fiddling with the chat system, aside from his daily sign in from the system which gave him simulation points,he learned that the chat system awarded every joinee with a sign in reward along with daily sign in,aside from that,he learned that this chat system also had some failsafe in place,such as those in the group cant hurt each other and some small stuff like that.
"Although i didnt get any joining rewards, i hope i get a good sign in rewards from this chat"
"Hey kid!"
While Hank was busy with the system, a rough looking man,with a bimbo i his arm and booze in the other kicked at his feet
"Huh!"
"Get outta my seat!" Yelled the man as he groped at his bimbo
Hank gave the man a casual look as he looked at the half empty train
Seriously! Do people have no shame
"Beat it kid"
Hank who was already a little mad about not getting any reward was being provoked by this boozy old man
Meanwhile the old man kept yelling at him,the other people in the train saw this and chose to ignore,it clearly wasnt the first time something like this happen
Hank stood up and stood up to the man,who snorted
"What! Got something to say bitch?" The man calmly pulled his shirt up,a gun was holstered
"Thanks for telling me you have a gun,now i can do what i thought about without any worries" Hank smiled as he put a hand on the old mans shoulders
Before the old man or his bimbo could even blink,a force swept the man of his feet as Hank delivered a powerful punch to the man's solar plexus.
