Chapter 3: the secret is out now

AN: you know what, I got time. let's make another chapter.

Peter was swinging around Tokyo trying to familiarize himself with the city as well as seeing the landmarks. taking the tour spider style. while also stopping a few muggings, a grand theft bicycle, one robbery, a few Yakuza thugs dealing firearms, and... coming across a gruesome murder scene.

the victim is a young male, it looks like they've been crucified, their hands and feet have been stuck the wall with scissors and they are slashes and stabbings all over the chest. and the words bloodlust written it on the wall with the victim's own blood. he calls the police and decides to stick around. he overhears some senior officers talking about the name of the serial killer.

apparently their name is genocide Jack, and this is not the first victim. the police also suspect that they are suffering from Dissociative identity disorder, but why the police are hiding this from the public he wants to know. he takes some pictures and emails them to the daily bugle. maybe Betty or Robbie or even Jameson could help shed some light on this.

after he thinks he's seen enough he decides to head back to the academy. but if you stick around a little bit longer he would have seen a certain purple haired individual.

"officers what we got here?" says the purple haired teenager. "looks like another victim of genocide Jack." says one of the officers.

"something doesn't add up. in all of the cases genocide Jack seems to leave ther victims to bleed to death, they don't go all out with a slashes and stabs, and the scissors they don't match the ones in the other cases. we may be dealing with a copycat"

"tell me where is the witness who reported it?" she asked. "I don't know, the person who reported it was long gone before we got here."

she started typing on her phone. "what are you doing?" asked one of the officers. "tracing our caller." she coldly replied.

her phone popped up an image of Peter Parker. "it looks like you and I are going to be having one heck of a talk Mr. Parker" she started walking away. " Ms. Kirigiri, where are you going?" said one of the officers. "to hope's peak. I might have a possible lead there"

a little bit later.

Peter finally reached hope's peak. he carefully climbed the walls of the building open the window to his dorm. he did it all silently. when he thought he was in the clear he slowly closed the window not making a sound. he took off the mask as he unstuck for the ceiling and released a big breath of relief. "...Peter?" said a voice right behind him. our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man quickly turns around and sees Chihiro fujisaki looking shocked.

"Chihiro, what are you doing here?" he said in a whispering tone loudly as he could. "you said you would critique my project. you were on the ceiling, wait you're Spider-Man!" she said. at this point Peter knew he was backed into a corner so he decided to come clean. he then explained everything to the young programmer, from his origins to his villains. "Chihiro, no one else can know about this. if one of my villains finds out I'm Spider-Man, they may use my loved ones against me, so please I beg you, do not tell a soul"

"Peter, since he told me your secret, I think it's only fair that you know mine.. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a boy." chihiro said. "wait what?" Peter asked looking at who we thought was a female this entire time.

"you see, back when I was little, well more little. I was bullied a lot for looking like a girl. so I hid behind female clothing to escape it. I lied to everyone and myself. I'm just not strong enough, I wish I was." chihiro admitted while having a few tears in his eyes.

" hey ,hey, it may not be physically strong, but to reveal your secret like that. that took guts. I think you're already strong you just don't see your own strength. let's just go to bed and we'll talk more about this as well as your project Tomorrow" Peter said reassuring him. after that chihiro went back to his dorm thinking about what Peter said.

the next day

all the students had breakfast cooked by the ultimate chef, Teruteru Hanamura. Peter and Chihiro had gotten a little bit closer as friends bonding over their secrets that they kept from everyone else. they continue to talk about what happened last night and our favorite programmer talks about the secret project he was working on. it turns out he's working on an artificial intelligence that can think as well as feel emotions like a normal human being.

Peter being a tech nerd was excited but nervous. if watching the Terminator movies wasn't enough, he had to deal with Ultron once. not a pleasant experience. sokovia was never the same. anyway Peter was talking about what he did last night including the crime scene that he came across.

"could Peter Parker please come down to the headmasters office." said the intercom loudly. "What did you do?" accused Ishimaru. "as far as I'm aware of, not a thing" Peter said as he walked towards the headmaster's office.

he wants for a little bit till you reach the headmaster's office he grabbed the door knob and twisted it giving it a light push and as he entered he noticed there was an extra person besides the headmaster, but at the time he didn't question it. "so what can I do for you Mr kirigiri?" asked Peter.

"well Peter, this is my daughter, kyoko kirigiri, the ultimate detective. she will be joining your class as of today, but that's not what we are here to discuss." the headmaster said.

"Mr parker, were you at 11037 avenue last night?" the purple haired girl now known as kyoko asked. "I was exploring town for a bit to get familiar with the area. so there is a chance I've been there" Peter answered. kyoko dropped a file onto the desk and opened it. it was a bunch of photos describing what transpired last night. "my sources say you were at the scene of the crime last night. what were you doing there?" kyoko asked again.

"like I said I was exploring and then I just happened to stumble across that, I called the police. then I heard a noise, I thought killer was still in the area so I ran." he answered. kyoko looked in Peter's eyes.

he was telling the truth, not the whole truth but enough to determine that he's innocent, still she's determined to find out what he's hiding.

after the slight interrogation the headmaster sent Peter back.

after Peter came back chihiro ran up to him. "so I guess she suspected you of being genocide Jack" he said. "wait, how did you know what was going on in the headmaster office?" Peter asked.

"please don't be mad, but I hacked into your cell phone and used the audio features to hear what was going on." he explained. "wait, what?" Peter in Surprise.

"hey I said don't be mad." he replied. before asking "so, what's the plan?" Peter replied "I don't know. as far as we know there's a serial killer and the police don't even have the slightest bit of evidence to know who it is."

Chihiro suddenly smile on his face. " Peter I have an idea, come with me to my dorm." the two went to the location. upon entering the dorm Chihiro immediately open up his laptop and begin clicking away on the keyboard. "so what are you doing?" asked Peter.

"I'm making an algorithm that will use reflective surfaces to create a three-dimensional environment using camera footage from nearby the crime scene. it will use everything from windows to car mirrors and puddles" replied chihiro.

after he was done the computer made a surprisingly accurate image of the crime scene and after you're winding the footage they finally caught the killer in the act. "chihiro, can you enhance the image and pause right there."

Peter asked. "on it" he replied. after he was done Peter was met with a shot on his face.

"oh no, no no no no no. you have got to be kidding me. anybody but Cletus Cassidy." Peter said in frustration. "wait isn't that Carnage?" chihiro asked. "well, not anymore. you see Norman Osborne took off his symbiote for himself and became the red goblin. after defeating Norman I witnessed the symbiote being burned alive in the fire. so I know he doesn't have it anymore. but the question is why is he here in Japan and why is he trying to replicate genocide Jack?" Peter said.

chihiro was quickly typing on his keyboard." I wrote a algorithm determining all the possible spots he might hit, using the process of elimination and Cletus's behavioral patterns. the algorithm says he might hit, here." he said as he was pointing to a certain location on a map on his computer.

"the subway tunnels, that makes sense easy places to get in and out without being noticed, little to no cameras so less likely the chance you'll get caught. he was using the subway tunnels too travel everywhere." said Peter as he figured it out.

the next few hours Peter was trying to come up with a plan to make sure Cletus is arrested. with nothing in mind he decided to check on chihiro. but when he came to knock on the door he noticed the door was already open. "chihiro. you here?" he asked getting no response.

he then sees a image on his computer. it looks like a floating head of chihiro.

"hello Peter. my name is alter ego I am an artificial intelligence, my master said that you would find me. he wanted me to give you a message. I have to do this. I have to face my fear, I have to be a man." Peter then looks around and noticed that the dress he usually wears is on a hanger.

Cletus is going after the same targets genocide Jack chooses. genocide Jack goes after young men, which can only mean... "I have to find them, quick. the subway system is huge Cletus can be anywhere in there." Peter thought. "alter ego! do you know where he is now" Peter almost yelled frantically.

"chihiro has his cell phone on him, using that I can triangulate his exact coordinates and send them on your cell phone" alter ego replied. "please do that." Peter pleaded.

images of the death of Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy as well as the multiple times MJ and Harry have been placed in harm's Way, filled Peter's head as he was swinging as fast as he could in his Spider-Man gear. as he was nearing the coordinates, he heard a scream. he rushed in to find Chihiro fujisaki with a pair of scissors impaled in his right leg and a Cletus Cassidy with a soul-sucking smirk on his face.

"Spider-Man. as much as I'm glad to see you you're not the person I wanted to meet today. I want to meet Jack and tell whoever they are I admire their work. it truly is a work of art. I mean the body is displayed in such a beautiful manner. the blood is smeared into those beautiful words. I might be looking at the next Vincent van Gogh. without my symbiot I am nothing, so I'm hoping to get into the art business. starting by recreating masterpieces in my image." Cletus said holding scissors right at Chihiro's throat.

Spidey quickly shut up web at cletus's hand pulling the scissors away from Chihiro and pulling Cletus towards him. with a simple kick Cletus's impacted against a brick wall. Spider-Man quickly webbed him to it. "yeah, that's not art. you sicko" he said to Cletus. turning attention to the injured chihiro. he quickly examine the wound, he was quite relieved when he found out it was not fatal.

"what, were you thinking! you could have got yourself killed." Peter angrily said. "I just wanted to be brave, like you. I hate this version of me with all these insecurities inside of me, me being weak, when I saw what you did I I wanted to do the same thing. sorry I worried you." Chihiro replied. just then a bunch of police officers came to their location with kyoko kirigiri leading the charge.

Chihiro we got your message. thank you for the for leading us to to our copycat killer." kyoko said. "so your plan was to lead Cassidy to the police so they can trap him. but you miscalculated and he nearly got you, you have got to do the right thing. but you got to stop and think these things through. okay?" spider man said. chihiro admitted the error in his plan and promised kyoko and Spider-Man that he indeed would careful in the future.

after that event kyoko took Chihiro to the hospital where they said he would be fine but he had to wear a cast around his leg for a while and walk on crutches for a bit.

the next day.

"are you sure about this" Peter asked. "I never been so sure in my life. " chihiro said with determination. he moved in front of the classroom. "everyone, I have an announcement to make" chihiro said.

he explained everything in detail from The bullying he got when he was younger and explained with the recent event with Cletus Cassidy being a genocide Jack copy cat and Spider-Man being a hero, it gave him the courage to speak up and tell the truth. most people were shocked except for Peter and kyoko. Mondo walked to him and gave him a hug, telling him how much he admired his strength and that he was a little bit jealous. also tell him that they should hit the gym together, sometime. Peter was smiling because he knew Mondo was also trying to help him.

Peter was very proud of the new Chihiro, it's very clear that this programmer didn't even care what people said about him anymore, heck he threw away all the dresses and got himself some boys clothes.

now Aoi may not be a smart girl, but she can tell that Peter was someone that helped chihiro grow into a person that he can be proud of. knowing this she smiled as she looked at Peter talking to Chihiro, Leon, Mondo, and Makoto.

later at the police station.

Cletus Cassidy was currently in a detention cell. with currently 27 life sentences he was going to be there for a while before announcing a death penalty. suddenly the the power went off. and Junko Enoshima was standing in front of him

. "so it looks like your plan to meet genocide Jack failed. ooh you must feel such despair." she said. "don't worry, I plan to make sure that Spider-Man shares is that exact same feeling. I will bring him to despair, using such an imaginable Carnage" she said as a familiar red substance covered her.

some police officers managed to get the power back on and return the check on Cletus Cassidy. only to find him dead with all his blood drained, multiple staff wounds in the chest, and a sick grin on his face. they never even heard his last words "so this is despair, I like it "

AN: reach the end of this chapter, tell me what you think of it so far in the reviews below. and what do you think of the idea of Junko Enoshima getting the Carnage symbiote
