did you remember your toothbrush jack?"

"yeah mom", I said annoyed. She asked me the same question multiple times.

"Don't get annoyed with me mister", she said with a playful smile. I couldn't help but laugh. Soon my dad walked into the room.

"All set Jack?"

"YES!!", I said, super excited for the sleepover.

"Well since you're already we just have to wait for Mile's father to come over to pick you up", Dad said with a smile. Excited I ran to the window kneeling on the couch waiting for Mile's dad to show up. Hearing footsteps my mom sat right next to me laughing at my childish behavior before grabbing me into a bone crunching hug.

"Never change Jack, would hate for you to grow up"

-----------------------------------

"FUCK!!", I yelled waking up in a sweat. Breathing heavily I felt myself shaking with anger.

Strange to wake up in a fit of anger? well fuck you then. For two days I've been having dreams of that night. The night that took everything from me . The same one that's turned me into this...FUCK!! Getting out of bed I went to take a shower. My thoughts have been jumbled lately with my parents' murderer waking up! Why didn't I end him!?

"Jack, is...everything ok?". I stopped in my tracks hearing Aunt may speak. Massaging my head I took a deep breath trying to calm down but honestly unsuccessfully.

"I don't know aunt may! I just found out my family's killer decided to wake up when he would have been better off DEAD!!!", I yelled. Aunt May gave me a sad look and I instantly regretted yelling at her.

"I just..need some space right now", I said heading for the bathroom for a shower.

Turning on the hot water I let it wash over me letting my thoughts take over. Why did he have to wake up? Doubt the police will be able to prosecute him with anything. Didn't gather evidence to prove he was guilty of anything when I went after him. Though I did take apart his small criminal enterprise which did help me calm down a bit. Could always head over to the hospital he's at and put him back in a coma. That's all I could think about is what he took.

Maybe school will get my mind off things. Just really hope nothing else pisses me off today. I'm not in the mood and I've got a short fuse because of it. Getting out of the shower I got ready for my day heading downstairs having breakfast. Sitting at the table I saw aunt may in the living room staring off into space with a worried look. I still felt bad about how I snapped on her earlier. It was out of line. Finishing my breakfast I went to leave but decided to apologize before I left.

"Aunt May I'm sorry I snapped on you. Just, trying to work through everything going on right now. It wasn't right and I'm sorry again. Love you aunt may", I said feeling guilty.

"Just promise me you won't go back Jack. You've done so well lately and I can't take seeing you closing your doors again closing yourself off. It hurt me to see you in so much pain unable to help. I can't see you like that again", May said with tears forming. Looking at her I felt my guilt become worse. I should have known she was hurt the most when I was like that. Walking over I gave Aunt May a hug. yes I'm giving a hug fuck off!

"I promise I won't lose myself again May. Wouldn't dare put you through that again. Thank you though for being there even if I wasn't grateful for it"

"Just don't forget who you are Jack", May said, calming down.

"I'll see you later", I said, walking out to catch the bus.

At the bus stop I felt my thoughts going back to him. I really need something to take my mind off of this or I may just break something or hurt someone out of the blue. Soon Peter showed up but I think he noticed my mood because he stood in silence. The silence was starting to get to me.

"I'm not the plague peter!", I snapped agitated by his silence.

"Jeez, you're kind of acting like you used to", Peter said on edge.

"Can you blame me peter? My parents' killer is awake instead of staying comatose like he deserves. Though he deserves worse than that"

"Guess you aren't doing well then", Peter said worriedly. Letting out a long sigh I just massaged the space between my eyes.

"If it helps any I heard they have police guarding his room. Turns out during his time he was in his coma the police were investigating him along with the FBI. They ended up finding evidence of multiple crimes including money laundering and drug trafficking with a Russian mob family"

"The Mogilevich family", I stated earning a confused look from Peter.

"yeah, how did you know that?", Peter asked, surprised.

"Been stopping the occasional drug dealer now and then. Each one so far has been spouting about how they work for the Mogilevich family and touching them was the equivalent of signing your death wish", I explained.

"You ignored their warning didn't you?"

"Of course I did. Jackass was trying to sell to a kid. Gave his associates names after"

"Besides that, how are you doing?", Peter asked with worry in his voice. No point in lying to him.

"Every second of the day my blood is boiling with anger thinking about hammerhead. Part of me wants to go straight toward his hospital room and finish what I started", I said grimly. Peter let out an awkward cough before continuing.

"If there's anyway I can help let me know Jack"

"Sadly you can't peter. This is something that'll have to run its course or Hammerhead ends up dead suddenly", I said feeling my anger spiking. Don't get me wrong I have anger management problems but lately it's seemed to have gotten worse.

Your fine

Who am I kidding, maybe I'm looking into it too much. Honestly been feeling better than usual with everything going on. Even though I haven't been feeling great after the dreams. It's weird for me since usually I'm a little sleep deprived since I mainly patrol at night most of the time but now I don't feel it as much.

Soon our bus arrived. We sat in the far back where Peter was nice enough to leave me to myself the whole ride to school. During one of our stops Andi got on. As usual she stuck to herself but she seemed to see I wasn't in a good mood for the past couple of days. Honestly the whole school has. People have been avoiding me more than usual at school. It's been nice having Peter being supportive through all this. Afraid what I would do if I was by myself through this. Might do something I would regret.

When we got to the school Peter started a conversation about a new movie that came out. I knew what he was doing and I was thankful for it. Especially since it was a movie I was interested in too. Andi just walked with us without saying anything as usual. Ever since she showed up she's been our third friend though she doesn't talk much. The only way to get her to talk really is mention something involving a mystery, book, or poisonous plants. That last one being a strange one to find out. Stopping at our lockers I opened mine with Peters being next to mine while Andi stood on the side waiting.

"Morons in coming", Andi suddenly said. Looking at her I was confused before looking around to see Flash Thompson coming our way with his goons. Today is not the day to deal with his bullshit I thought while shutting my locker. Sure enough Flash was right there. Already I felt one of my hands ball into a fist.

"So I heard your parents' killer is up and about. Though I wouldn't really call him one since he couldn't finish the job with you"

Without even thinking I hit Flash in the throat. He instantly was gasping for air before one of his cronies came at me. Stepping to the side as he tried to grab me I slammed my knee into his chest making him fall on the ground holding his chest in pain. His last crony ran at me with a punch by i ducked to the side putting one of my legs behind him then using my arm to flip him onto the ground hard knocking the wind out of him. With them dealt with I grabbed Flash slamming his back into the lockers then lifting him up by his shirt with one hand.

"Listen closely and listen good Thomson, If you ever come near me to spout some bullshit about my parents killer like that again I'll introduce you to a pain only your nightmares could think of! So I'm going to put it simple, DON'T...MESS...WITH....ME!! GOT IT!!". He nodded while still trying to catch his breath. Dropping him on the ground his cronies picked him up after they recovered after my beating. Looking around everyone was staring at me only making me more angry.

"If you got eyes to stare I would be more than welcome to remove them", I said glaring at everyone. Instantly everyone looked away minding their own business. Happy a teacher didn't see anything that happened because that would make things worse. Taking deep breaths Peter walked up hesitantly.

"Jack, I'm not saying Flash didn't deserve that after what he said but you don't think you maybe went a little far? even with threatening everyone else?", Peter said not sure how I would react. Taking a deep breath I was able to see where he was coming from.

"Your right, your right. Just been under a lot of pressure with everything going on", I said trying to calm down.

"Think you could have done worse. Maybe break a bone to prove a point", Andi said watching Flash run away. Couldn't help but let out a laugh from her comment.

"Thanks Andi, I needed that"

"Just know you're not alone this time Jack. You've been alone long enough, you got friends now", Peter said with a smile. Couldn't help but let out a genuine smile, happy to have friends like them. Maybe I can get through this.

Revenge

Finish it

Then something crossed my mind, something I said earlier to peter. I mentioned that if Hammerhead ended up dead I would feel better. The guy's killed many people for mob families to protect their money. Imagining the families he tore apart, the mothers and fathers that are no longer there for their child. It's time I made things right.

----------------------------------------------------

Seems they want to make sure Hammerhead doesn't try to escape. They have a few police cars parked up front with two in the back. Even the FBI were here too. Hammerhead was currently held on the twelfth floor room nine. Apparently he's still recovering from waking up from the coma so I won't have to worry about him fighting back. Bet he barely has the strength for that being stuck in a bed for a year. I was about to jump across to the hospital but I noticed a commotion in the front. The sound of loud footsteps can be heard as some kind of rhino mech suit walked up to the hospital? What the hell?

"Damn it", I said, jumping down. Landing on the street the police in the front opened fire but the bullets bounced off not even leaving a scratch. Rhino looked at where the bullet hit him before looking back at the cops. Bending down he got into a sprinting position before running right at the cops. Thankfully they were smart enough to jump out of the way as he sent one of the cars flying. This isn't going to be easy.

With his back turned I ran up behind him before jumping through the air above him. Coming down on top of him I slammed both my feet on his head but it barely moved. Jumping back I got into a fighting stance as he turned around standing over me. His eyes glowed a bright red as he looked down on me.

"Fuck my life", I said before Jumping back dodging a fist. Landing on my feet I saw that his fist went through the street. I Definitely don't want to get hit by that.

Running at him he swung his arm but I slid underneath him ending up behind him. Jumping on his back I started punching him in his head thinking it was the best place to strike. With a speed that was impressive he grabbed me before swinging me around and throwing me into a police car. Slamming into the side of the car I felt it slide a couple of feet before coming to a stop. Also felt something crack which I'm pretty sure was my rib. Looking at rhino I heard him laugh as he started walking before going into a full sprint heading right for me.

He's in your way

Watching him run at me I felt my anger like I've never felt before. This damn rhino is getting in the way of my revenge! Getting in the way of me killing hammerhead! Like hell I'm going to let this man ruin this!! Standing up I felt something covering my body but I ignored it as my anger was centered on Rhino. Right when he reached me I punched him in the side of his head making him go off course sliding to the side. Looking at my hand and body I saw that my suit changed. Clenching my hand, I felt stronger than usual. Hearing metal footsteps I turned back toward Rhino with a smile.

"Want to try that again?"
