Once Bitten
Who: Peter Parker and Cindy Moon
What: Getting bitten by experimental spiders during a school field trip.
Where: Science Building, Empire State University
When: May 2001
Peter never felt more alive than when he was visiting the ESU science lab. He'd been on a few field trips like this before: Empire State University liked to arrange field trips with the honor students of New York's local high schools to give them a taste of what lay ahead in their career paths.
This particular field trip was for prospective science honor students, including a few from Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School. Peter was one of them, as was his classmate, Cindy Moon. The two of them were in the same study group, but they didn't get along particularly well, thanks to Cindy's status as an athlete. They mostly tolerated each other due to a friend they had in common: Jessica Cambell, a civics student, who wasn't even on the field trip. So that left the two of them to tolerate each other on the bus ride to the university, and in the sciences building where they were part of the field trip group.
There was a lot to see, from advances in gene therapy to breakthroughs in radiation resistance, and Peter wanted to know about it all. It was like being a comic book geek at a convention.
