Basic Results

Peter lay, exhausted and gasping for air, with his head resting on Carol's thigh, the blonde woman reading a book as the teen seemed to be going into cardiac arrest.

"So..." Carol said, not looking away from her book "How good do you feel right now?"

"End it all" Peter groaned "My legs can carry this body no longer and my shoulders can carry this burden no more, come sleep, come death, allow me entry through your door"

"That was very articulate Peter, you've got quite the way with words" she said.

"Raisins"

"Indeed" she said, petting him on the head before turning the page in her book.

"Good news Peter" Fury said, walking over to him with several sheets of paper.

"Is it death?" Peter asked, not looking up "Please say it's death"

"Not just yet Peter, now come on, sit up and talk to Fury" Carol said.

"Hoist me" Peter said, holding his wrists up.

Carol rolled her eyes before grabbing hold of Peter's wrist and lifting him up, Peter's tired eyes lazily looking at Fury as the older man rose an eyebrow.

"Is he okay?" Fury asked.

"I think so" Carol said, shaking Peter's arms "He can still dance"

"No... please no, no more movement for the next century" he begged, Carol continuing to shake him and make him perform different steps of the Macarena.

"Anyway..." Fury said, slightly disturbed at the look of childish joy on Carol's face "We've got your results back from the tests we performed and you'll be very pleased to hear them"

"All I can hear is blood" Peter whimpered.

"Right, I'll be sure to talk louder then" Fury said "On the speed test you clocked in a maximum of eighty miles per hour, that's fast enough to keep up with a moving car Peter"

"I'll be sure to keep up with cars when I'm not too busy trying to keep being conscious" Peter said "But yay for me"

"Other results came in for superhuman dexterity, you seem to be able to suffer damage that would kill a normal human instantly, I know that one was your favourite to test out" Fury chuckled.

"Is the grill of the truck still imprinted on my face?" Peter asked, Carol turning his head around and looking at the red mark on his forehead.

"Lil bit, going away quickly through" she answered before grabbing hold of his arms again and flailing them around.

"Awesome" Peter said.

"The blood samples we took and put into the simulation showed us that your healing factor would be able to heal you from pretty much any injury that didn't involve losing a piece of you in roughly twenty four hours and the toxin test done on you during different stages of your bleep test showed that your body doesn't produce nearly as much as a normal human" Fury said, flicking over the pages and reading from the results.

" Andwith the calculations done by the scientists on the rate you were expending yourself during the test, they calculated you'd be able to push yourself for a maximum of twenty seven hours before becoming too tired to continue any physical movements" Fury said "Now, you're aware that the only tests we could put you in to truly test the limits of your Spider-Sense were much too dangerous for you, and we couldn't run any concrete simulations as we don't have nearly enough evidence to run them"

"So the Spider-Sense is a complete mystery to all of us?" Peter asked "Because I don't really know how to work it that well myself... there was this one time, in the fight with Luna, where it started picking up muscle movements that would give away her moves before she made them but... I don't think I can activate that at will"

"Don't worry about that kid, we've got someone we can put you in contact with who can teach you how to use that sense, old friend of ours you'll be happy to see no doubt" Fury said "But with accurate estimates for strength, dexterity, stamina, speed and healing, we've got the basics we need to know about you recorded in our system, both to help us and you when you need it"

"Alright then" Peter nodded, Carol lying his head back down on her thigh "Can I get a little rest"

"You should feel better in about five minutes Peter if you-"

"Shhh" Peter said, Carol holding up his hand while Peter's performed the quiet gesture "Sleepy-byes now, talk to you later"

With Fury casting a bemused look at Carol, the blonde woman merely shrugging before picking up her book again, Peter closed his eyes and fell asleep, his dreams being a messed recollection of the tests he'd endured and the license plate of the truck he'd been hit with flashing before his eyes.
