A/N lmao I'm sick and because I can't do anything with myself I'm going to lay in bed and write this fic. Simply because I want you all to suffer as I am.

Also FYI: Peter's identity was never revealed to the world in this AU. Therefore NWH never happened.

-Peter

My stomach hurts.

Everything hurts.

I'm going to faint.

My legs aren't working.

I can't feel my legs.

My eyes are tired.

WAKE UP!

Peter woke up to the sound of voices.  He jerked himself back to life, realizing he'd let himself fall asleep.  Panicked, he looked around himself, finding that the rest of the students were also awake now too.

The bus was stopped.  Peter couldn't understand what was going on exactly.  No one seemed to have this weird feeling like he did. In fact, everyone was normal.  But he knew something was terribly wrong.

Students began filing off the bus, which told Peter they'd arrived to wherever the destination had been.  MJ dragged him off as well, mumbling to herself about how she forgot to bring a toothbrush or something.  Peter wasn't really listening to her.

Once off the bus, Peter could see an absolutely massive building surrounded by ridiculously high walls the carried on with seemingly no end in sight.

"Where the hell are we?" MJ wondered.

"Secret lab." Ned stated confidently.

Rather than Dr. Braunt coming out to great them, a group of military looking men carrying guns did. They didn't talk much, just patted down each and every one of the twenty one kids there as if worried one of them brought a gun themselves. They confiscated some items: prescription drugs, a vape, a few pocket knives, and Iisan Takanashi's medical face mask for some reason.

They took away the kid's luggage, saying they'd bring it to the place they'd be sleeping.  Then, the remaining men led the kids through a large gate which took them to the other side of the wall.  Peter thought that would be the last of the security, but he was wrong.

They were split up into six separate lines. One for each year of students, which was split into boys and girls. This meant Peter was in the line for the Junior boys.

"You don't think this is weird Ned?" Peter asked.

"They're probably making sure we're not sick or something. For the animal safety." Ned replied.

"Right..." Peter drifted.

"Next." The woman at the front of the line called and Peter stepped forward. "Name?"

"P-Peter."

"FULL name."

"O-oh, sorry. Peter Parker?"

"Any need for prescription meds?"

"U-um..." Peter felt a lump in his throat. "A-Aderral." He whispered, hoping Ned would not hear.

"Give me your wrist."  The woman demanded. Peter offered his arm to her and she put a device over it to check his temperature. "Clear. Next?"

She waved Peter away. Next he had to step through what seemed to be an airport security system. Was this all for the protection of the animals?

After that, he was told to wait in a large empty room. Other kids were there of course, but it took a while before all twenty one of them were back together. There was a large clock on the wall which read 6:45 PM.

"Oh my god- how long was that bus ride?" He heard a girl next to him say. He looked to his side and saw she was the girl who made the group chat, and also the most popular girl in school. She had short read hair, and a freckled face.  She was also incredibly short, not even five feet tall.

"I was sleeping the whole time, so I don't know."  A boy beside her said. It was Bradley, a Cuban kid who was a definite band geek.

"Me too."  The girl, Emma, returned.

"Same." Another kid standing near Peter said.

"We all were. Something's up."  Someone said from behind Peter. Peter spun around and saw the tall black haired boy, Iisan Takanashi.

"Or we all just stayed up late last night."  Emma chuckled.

"No. Something is wrong."  Iisan said with a sternness in his voice. He made eye contact with Peter, and a strange sense of fear strangled his senses.  Iisan's face was scarred... horribly scarred... half of it was deformed and a peculiar red color, which was either from a burn or just a birthmark if Peter had to guess. On the other side, two long scars stretched over his eye. His lips were chapped and bloody, and his expression cold and mean.

Despite his inner conscience telling him to get away from the older boy, Peter knew that this kid may be his only chance at finding out what was going on. Iisan was so far the only other student who knew something wasn't right.

Peter nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the ring of a bell.

Dr. Braunt stood in the doorway of the giant room. He rung a little bell in his hands to get the student's attention. The smile on his face made Peter's skin crawl.

"I'm sure that long bus ride has made you all hungry." Dr. Braunt said, "Dinner is outside."

~~~

Nothing suspicious happened at dinner.  Dr. Braunt was smiling a lot but Peter brushed it aside. When they returned to the room, they found that twenty mattresses had been laid out on the floor with pillows and blankets.

But there were only twenty.

"We'll start the studies tomorrow morning. Until then, I need one volunteer real quick to come out with me.  I'd like to show you some of the animals we'll be working with tomorrow." Dr. Braunt announced.

Several hands shot up in excitement, including Ned's.  Peter's gut churned, and he suddenly felt very sick.

"How about you." Dr. Braunt pointed to Ned.  "You don't have any animal related allergies I hope?"

"Nope!" Ned exclaimed, jumping up from the mattress he'd claimed.

"Good! Good!" Dr. Braunt beckoned for Ned to come to the door. "It won't be long, you can return to your friends here shortly."

"Wish me luck!" Ned said, beaming at Peter.

With what? Peter thought. His stomach felt like it was doing cartwheels as he watched his best friend leave the room. When the door shut, his heart nearly stopped.

Students may be harmed.

A/N I do be feeling like shit tho haha
