Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Three judges stood before Flash's ant project. "Sometimes even the strongest ant needs some help," Flash said. "Sure, he can lift up to five thousand times his own weight, but when there's something that's too heavy to carry on his own, that little guy will call on his friends to help him out. I tested this by leaving out a superheavy Cheerio, and sure enough a group of five ants worked together to carry it away.

I guess you could say ants have got brains and brawn!" The science fair judges laughed. Flash smiled. Peter frowned. This was really happening. Flash Thompson was doing well at science. And worse, Peter himself was interested in Flash's project. Peter knew he shouldn't be so annoyed. Assuming Flash wouldn't be good at schoolwork just because he was good

at sports was unfair. Just as unfair as Flash thinking Peter couldn't play basketball because he was smart. But Peter didn't care about fairness right now. He just wanted the judges to stop paying attention to Flash. Which they did, the moment Doctor Octopus came raging through the door. Panic ensued at the sight of the metal-tentacled menace. "Give me those particles!" Doc Ock cried.

Ant-Man was right beside him. "What's the magic word?" he asked. Doctor Octopus swung a metal arm. Ant-Man ducked. "Please," the tiniest Avenger said. "The magic word is please." "Enough of this foolishness!" said Doctor Octopus. "I am the superior scientist! The altered Pym Particles will be mine. And you will give them to me now!" Peter was wondering what particles they were talking about when he noticed a lone canister floating through the air. It moved with direction and purpose, as if someone very small was flying it. Suddenly it dipped down and shot past Aidan Taylor's homemade volcano before disappearing into Reilly First's dry ice project.

Peter knew what he had to do. As scientists and students scattered, Peter grabbed Aunt May and pushed her out the door to safety. Amid the chaos, he disappeared back into the crowd. Peter hated leaving his aunt, but he needed to help. He needed to find an empty classroom to change. He needed to become the amazing Spider-Man!
