Old/new faces and new problems.
3rd POV:
(Symkaria)
Silver sable was in a word, dissapointed.
She had recently been watching the news as the heroes of new York were taking another beating by the villains her beloved had dealt with on numerous occasions. She had been keeping tabs on the city when spiderman suddenly disappeared and crime rose to an all new high. She desperately wanted to leave and try to find the spider but she had duties as the Queen of symkaria and could not just up and leave them.
She was about to shut the TV she was using off when an explosion of yellow electricity smashed into the ground. When the smoke cleared, she gasped as it revealed her beloved in all his glory. She watched in rapt attention as he slayed everything and everyone in his path with his allies. She couldn't help but smile to herself, her beloved was back. Right when he slayed osborn, she decided that her duties could wait. Getting up from where she was sitting, silver sable grabbed her phone and made a call for a her personal helicopter.
Her destination, New York City.
(With Jean grey)
After the whole spiderman fiasco, the avengers, xmen and fantastic four returned back to the avengers Tower for some R&R, each and everyone's thoughts on what just happened, some voiced theirs.
Hawkeye: who the fuck did that bug think he was?!
Cyclops: him? Superior? HA! How humorous, he's pathetic, always has, always will be.
Iron man: who the hell did he think he was talking to?!
Captain marvel: oh shut the fuck up stark!
Wolverine goes to the bar and grabs a beer before downing it.
Wolverine: bub's changed a lot.
Spider woman: (quietly) what happened to you spider?
While everyone was conversing, Jean was trying to stay calm as the pbeonix was currently raging in her mind.
Jean (mentally) would you calm down?! Why do you care so much about who spiderman kissed?!
Pheonix: be silent child! Don't act like you're not jealous, afterall you've been thinking about the time he kissed you all those years ago!
Jean said nothing to that, it was true as that was the only time she felt the love from a kiss from anyone.
Pheonix: that red skinned slut thinks she could take away MY Anansi?! I'll show her- NO!!! WE will show her!!
Jean suddenly had a bad feeling and it started right when her pheomix attire changed from green to red, the power of the cosmic bird Turing darker. Before Jean could yell at anyone about her about to fall to the dark side, the pheonix spoke.
Pheonix: don't bother telling them my dear, besides you should know that you haven't fallen to the dark influence of my power because I will it to be. Now child, listen well. Don't you want to have someone to actually love you? We both know that the summers boy will do no such thing with the way he's acted.
Jean glanced at cyclops to see him loudly boasting how superior mutant kind were and that spiderman was inferior, hearing that made her slightly angry, and she was DEFINITELY sure that emotion came from her, not the pheonix.
Her thoughts drifted back to spiderman, she admitted she had a small crush on him due to his playful nature, it always made her smile and whenever she was sad or had a breakup, he took the time out of his day to speak to her and comfort her. Jean often wondered if she could have a life with the spider and believed she could but they were from 2 different worlds and with the minor bad blood between avengers and xmen still lingering, she couldn't bring herself to act on her feelings with the spider, too afraid of what would happen to both of them if anyone were to find out. But now, with things all out proportion due to recent events....
Jean: (mentally) what'd you have in mind?
Pheonix smirked, glad she had her host agreeing to this, now to move to the next step....
Pheonix: simple, that red skinned harlot won't stand a chance against us, but I plan to send a message to not just her, but every other woman in the world.
Jean: (mentally) and how exactly? We're not gonna kill anyone are we?
Pheonix: no, none of that, my dear anansi didn't like it when I was like that, we'll just beat them until they're weak and on their knees begging for their suffering to end.
Jean was slightly nervous, she glanced at the heroes in the room and saw that most of the avengers weren't around, where had they gone? She shook her thoughts away, she had to deal with her tenant who she was pretty sure was falling to her own dark power and Jean probably won't be far behind.
Jean hoped she was just being paranoid about it.
Phoenix, oblivious to her host's thoughts, acted on her next step.
Pheonix: now Jean grey, it's time for some assistance.
Before anything could be said by Jean, flames spewed out of her, catching everyone's attention. Now seeing her in her dark pehonix attire, everyone prepared for a fight but saw 4 small pheonix birds fly out of the fiery aura around Jean. The miniature phoenix's locked eyes with their targets and flew towards them before colliding to the chests of the individuals and merging with them. Said 4 individuals were then surrounded in a flame like aura, similar to jeans. The heroes prepared for the worst and when the flames dissipated, everyone knew a new kind of trouble was about to begin.
Emma: what on earth?!
Storm: the pheonix force?!
Magik: no... not again!!!
Psylocke: what?!
Jean: (quietly) oh shit.
Pheonix smirked, pleased with the events, she would make sure to influence them with the power of her dark side, just enough to act on their emotions on a certain webhead and once they're ready, she will hunt down that bitch that took her husband and show her, her place and be with her beloved again and who knows, maybe the new pheonix 5 will act on their secret desires for the spider and if they don't.
Well more for her.
(On a random street)
X 23 or Laura kinney, was sitting at an outdoor cafe, her eyes fixated on the newspaper she was currently reading (something she picked up from her father). She kept reading a section of the paper over and over while looking at the picture with a variety of emotions.
Her spider, her friend, her mate had returned, and he was back with a vengeance.
She smirked to herself. It's time she met the one that captured her heart.
Right after She finished her drink and snacks.
(At a penthouse)
Peter had just woken up and found himself in bed naked as the day he was born with a minor headache. Feeling the covers shift a little, he turned to his left and saw Betty (no longer as red she hulk) sleeping comfortably next to him, holding his arm in tight grip also naked. Peter tried to remember what had happened last night and slowly, but surely, it all started coming back to him. Both he and Betty started drinking after their return as the heroes they should've been seen as (Peter would admit that his otto side would definitely think that people should praise him and Betty, heck even a small portion of himself thought the same), they nearly drunk his entire cabinet of alcohol and somehow, Peter managed to get both him and Betty back to his penthouse (he honestly forgot that otto bought a penthouse when he still roamed in his body) where they made out for a little, nothing too heavy but it didn't take long for things to get physical as he and Betty started ripping eachothers clothes off and pushing eachother into walls and different furniture before making it to the bedroom and started fucking like a pair of rabbits in heat. If he remembered correctly, they went at it for so long that Betty couldn't keep up with him as red she hulk and reverted back to her human form but still continued to try and screw eachothers brains out, though it wasn't long till Betty passed out from the overwhelming pleasure he gave her and he soon followed a few seconds later. Looking around his bedroom, he saw a few things were knocked over and some others smashed on the floor and a few spider cracks on the walls, he sighed before mentally shrugging, he'll just have ultron hack into either, starks, Richards, or pyms bank accounts and take some cash, they owed him that much (and so much more for the pain they caused him and those he loved).
A groan escaped the lips of the occupant next to Peter. He turned and saw Betty shift a little before slightly opening her eyes and meet the gaze of her lover.
Betty: (smiles) hey tiger~~
Peter: (smiles) hey red~~
The 2 just stares into eachothers eyes, enjoying the peace and quiet that encompassed the room.
KABOOM!!
Until it was ruined by an explosion not far from the penthouse. They both sigh and reluctantly sit up from their laying positions, angry that the good morning was ruined.
Peter: honestly, can we get one day of peace?! Who would cause so much noise?!
???: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!!!
Betty perked up at the voice.
Betty: isn't that Walter's one night stand?
Peter: (annoyed) seems like it. (Sighs) stay in bed, I'll go and take care of it.
Peter slides his legs off the bed, his feet touching the ground and was about to stand when he felt arms wrap around and hang loosely on his neck and breasts pressing against his back. He turned his head to see Betty's face stare back at him, her eyes glowing yellow.
Betty: don't worry Peter....
Soon her hair began turning black with red streaks, her skin began changing to blood red, once the transformation was complete, red she hulk was back in action.
Red she hulk: I'll get the bastard.
Peter: you sure? You don't have to-
Red she hulk placed her lips on peters to silence him before pulling back.
Red she hulk: you have a company to run, I think the city can survive without spiderman for at least a day..... well, that's not true but as long as I'm around, people will know where they belong.
Red she hulk put her feet on the floor before standing, she nearly fell over as her legs were slightly wobbling before stopping. Peter saw this and smiled at his accomplishment. Betty turned and gave a sexy smirk.
Red she hulk: I haven't had anyone make me weak in the knees before Petey~~ you really know how to give a girl a good time.
Peter: and I haven't had anyone keep up with me for as long as you did and have me pass out not long afterwards~~
Betty's smirked wider before bending down, purposely showing her backside to Peter who had no problem staring at it. When Betty stood back up she turned her head to Peter.
Red she hulk: maybe once I'm through with juggernaut and you're done with work, we can go another 12 rounds.
Red she hulk spanked her own ass, making it jiggle. Peter smirked, his eyes being an open window for Betty to see the want in his eyes, but also the love for her. Peter stood up and made his way infront of red she hulk and caressing her face lovingly. Betty's smirk turned into a loving smile as she leaned into her lovers hand. They would've stayed like that longer if it weren't for more explosiong occurring once more thanks to juggernaut. Betty's eyes snapped open, glowing brightly with anger.
Red she hulk: (calmly) that bastards ass is grass.
Giving one last kiss to her lover, Betty headed to the elevator of the penthouse and pressed the ground floor, as the door closed she gave a wink to Peter before they fully closed. Peter returned to his bed and sat down on it, sighing to himself.
Peter (in head): sooo..... this is my life now.
Running a hand across his face, he stood back up and went to his cupboard and picked a black business suit and red tie. He then grabbed a briefcase and packed his spider suit in it. Peter made sure everything was as it should be before leaving his penthouse.
He had a company to run afterall.
(Mini timeskip - Parker industries)
Peter was walking towards his office, greeting his fellow workers with waves and good mornings. Peter stopped when ultron prime appeared in front of him.
Ultron: greetings father.
Peter: hello ultron, are you well?
Ultron: I'm operating at 100% capacity.
Peter nods and walks passed ultron with the AI following closely behind.
Peter: tell me ultron, how is detective dewolff?
Ultron: the fusion of cybernetics has been accepted, she is currently in stasis until the rest of her wounds are healed.
Peter: (nods) good, keep me posted on that, the minute she's fully healed I want to know.
Ultron: of course father and regarding our other guest?
Peter paused in his step for half a second before continuing to move.
Peter: I think we've played enough games with them, send them to me once I'm in my office, an opportunity has been presented, it's time to act upon it.
Ultron: yes father.
With that, Ultron heads to the teleporter room while Peter heads to elevator and presses the top button. After a few seconds, the doors opened and he was in his personal work space.
(If you want to know what it looks like, imagine the office like Bruce Wayne's in batman arkham knight)
Peter goes to his desk and places the suitcase down and goes to his monitor and presses a few buttons. Different sections of the floor open up and capsules rise up, each revealing different suits.
He slowly began walking passed each one, staring at the lenses of each mask as memories long since forgotten began to resurface, the good and the bad, pausing momentarily as some of the memories he's revisiting bring about some strong emotions. Peter keeps going until he stops at a specific 3 suits.
He stares at the former suits of Ben reilly, emotions slowly boiling to the surface.
(Flashback)
Ben: it's more of a scarlet. It's me Peter! You're brother from another blood cell.
(Flashback end)
Peter puts each hand on both capsules and closes his eyes as a tear goes down his face. A moment of silence passes as the spider themed hero drops both of his hands and stares into the white lenses of the masks.
Peter: (quietly) I'm so, so sorry Ben.
Peter was answered back with silence.
With a sigh he was about to move to when he saw the reflection of a silhouette standing behind him in what appeared to be tribal gear. Peter tensed and sharply turned only to see no one. Peter took a few weary steps forward before sighing and shaking his head.
Peter: (muttering) probably just seeing things.
He turned and faces the lenses of his original suit. His face now a blank canvas as a torrent of memories shot to the front of his thoughts process however, instead of the good ones it was all the bad.
His failure to save aunt may.
The sacrifice of his marriage to MJ.
The battle against the xmen and all the lives he failed to save.
Civil war.
The death of gwen Stacy.
The inheritors.
Skrull invasion.
And so many more....
He then tried to think of the goods times and was glad that he was able to think of a few.
His protoges.
Franklin and valeria.
His brothers.
Jessica's son gerry.
His short time with medusa.
His friendship with Emma frost.
His relationship with chat.
His true friendships with his fellow heroes (and some villains).
And his special meeting with Betty.
Peter sighed once again before hearing the door to his office open.
Peter (in head): she's early.
He heard a gasp before the drop of papers.
???: Mr Parker?! Why do you have-
Peter: you can drop the act, I know who you are...
Peter slowly turns to face the woman.
Peter: queen Veranke.
The women did not say a word except slowly morph into her true form.
Veranke: how did you know?
Peter: during my time away as spiderman I prepared for every possible scenario. Anti viruses for AI's, contingency plans against both heroes and villains alike (some that had the intention to kill but she didn't need to know that), scanners to detect shape-shifters the list goes on.
Veranke: I see.
Peter: look, what are you doing here veranke, if it's to take over company, just know that I've got an army of robots controlled by a once rouge AI ready to defend me.
The skrull queen said nothing.
Peter: you're planning to take over the earth again aren't you?
Veranke: yes, I plan to do so..... or I planned to.
Peter raised an eyebrow at that.
Veranke: the idea was to have myself and different skrulls infiltrate key areas of governments and military armies and begin spreading rumors and doubts which would then lead to another war and attack eachother. When humanity would be weak, we'd strike and claim the earth as our rightful home.
Peter: but?
Veranke paused and stared at peters original spiderman suit and began walking to it. Once she's close enough, she placed her hand on the glass tube containing the suit, staring at the mask lenses with fondness.
Veranke: but then you came along.
Peter raised an eyebrow, wondering where this conversation was suddenly heading.
Veranke: when I originally was disguised as spiderwoman, we teamed up together and fought against many foes, laughed and cried together, protected eachother. Even before and after the first invasion, I still look back on those memories with fondness that I even scared myself.
At this veranke turned to face Peter.
Veranke: I knew that you had made an impact on my life and I knew that I could not- no would not, kill you. I decided that once the skrulls took over earth, I would keep you.
Peter raised both eyebrows at this, not sure how to take it.
Peter: I'm....flattered?
Veranke: (smirks) you should be, not many people get my attention.
Veranke then stared back at the spiderman suit in the tube.
Veranke: it was then that I began my plan, planting skrulls into high government positions, all waiting for my command. (Sighs) but as I began working here, I became attached to the people I worked with, I made friends, (clenches fists) I ENJOYED working here, I ENJOYED helping humans, I ENJOYED working with you..... and I wasn't the only one, many skrulls who were undercover felt the same way and we became conflicted in what we wanted to do. We wanted the earth as our new home but.... could we really hurt the people we've grown to care for? Could I really harm the one person I've come to love (Peter freezes slightly as veranke looks at him) and still do?
Silence greeted the room after veranke's question. Peter leaned against his desk and looked down at the ground, absorbing everything he was told by the skrull queen. He honestly didn't know what to think anymore when it came to the woman, he'll admit that at one point in his life he did love her when she was disguised as spiderwoman and when it was revealed that it was actually veranke, he felt heartbroken. Seeing her now though has made him conflicted, he had a whole plan set in motion but that was basically thrown out of the window. Veranke steps towards Peter and stands directly infront of him, her hand underneath his chin, making him face her.
Veranke: I know you don't trust me Peter, but look me in the eye and tell me if I'm lying to you, the eyes are the window to the soul afterall.
Peter stared into her eyes, finding nothing but the truth and love in her eyes, love for him. He then stiffened as he smelt a lovely aroma coming off of veranke, it was somewhat similar to pheromones. He looked into the skrulls queen's eyes again and saw a lustful smirk.
Peter (in head): son of a bitch, she planned this.
Without thinking Peter grabbed veranke by her legs, lifted her up and placed her on his desk. Veranke placed her arms around peters neck and legs around his waist, pulling him close. Just as their lips were about to meet. Peter stopped himself, thinking of Betty, he would NOT cheat on her. Not now, not ever. Peter leaned closed to verankes left air and whispered.
Peter: (whispers) nice try veranke, but I don't give anything away on the first date.
Peter was about to pull away but veranke kept a tight grip on the spider themed hero and looked into his eyes, showing a more serene smile.
Veranke: I know you wouldn't, I merely wanted to test if you would give in.
Peter: why?
Veranke: I wasn't lying when I said I love you Peter. (Places a hand on his cheek) I want us to be together, I've searched for someone who I would love and they love me back. You are the one for me Peter, I want you to be my king, together, we could build a bridge between human and skrull kind and live peaceful lives.
Peter: veranke, I'm with someone-
Veranke: I know, Betty Ross is her name if I remember correctly. But just because you're with someone doesn't mean I'm giving you up.
Peter just sighed and pulled himself out of verankes grasp, with the skrull queen getting of the desk.
Peter: (sigh) look veranke let's put this whole love talk on hold for the moment, I need to talk to you about something and it's in regards to the whole building bridges between human and skrull kind.
Veranke: (eyebrow raised) I'm listening.
Peter: do you know why I built a city on my island?
Veranke shook her head.
Peter: it was for your people.
Verankes eyes widen.
Peter: I had an idea, (goes to his window and looks out with his hands behind his back) to bring together different races across the galaxy and unite them. To build relationships with eachother and battle against threats that could endanger our very existence. Out of all the alien races that have attacked us, the skrulls have been the most consistent. I know that you want to take the earth and have it as your new home but it's impossible, not with the amount of heroes on this planet. (Looks at veranke) I built the island so that a small group of skrulls could live there, to have the feeling that they finally have a home, it's not a permanent solution but it's something that can allow them to- MMPH!!!
Veranke rushed Peter and slammed her lips into his. Peter was frozen in shock not really sure what the heck to do. Veranke pulled away, a big satisfied smile on her face before crushing spiderman in a hug
Veranke: you have done something that no other person has ever done, you truly are special Peter Parker.
Peter: y-youre (clears throat) it was nothing, I just thought it was time for the bad blood to be put at the back of our minds.
Veranke smiles before looking at the briefcase.
Veranke: what's in there?
Peter: (looks at briefcase) it's my suit.
Veranke: ah yes. (Opens briefcase) your superior suit that octavious made.
Peter: you knew?
Veranke: I make it my business to know what goes on, especially if it concerns someone I care about. Honestly the nerve of those people. Not to mention spiderwoman.
Peter narrowed his eyes at hearing Jessica's superhero alias but shakes his anger away. Now was not the time.
Veranke: you know, I could improve your suit.
Peter: (intrigued) really?
Veranke: (nods) a few touches in certain areas and it would be perfectly upgraded.
Peter:......thank you veranke.
Veranke: (smirks) your welcome my king.
Peter: (deadpans) that's not going away anytime soon is it?
Veranke: depends, am I still working with you?
Peter seems to debate it before nodding his head yes.
Veranke: (smirks) then no, it isn't going away anytime soon.
Peter: (rolls his eyes) great, I'll bump you up to being my assistant, you'll have access to more of the building and systems, I'm putting a lot of trust in you veranke, I want this peace between skrull and humans to work.
Veranke: so do I Peter, so do I. I hope you know that the rest of the skrulls will not like being left out on having a place to call home.
Peter: which is why I want your help, you've probably scanned the planet over thousands of times. You know what you're looking for, right now ultron and my people are working on a super powered spacecraft that will be piloted by ultron units to find a planet similar to earth, from there, the skrulls can build and live there.
Veranke: (smiles) you think of everything don't you?
Peter: (mutters) not everything.
If veranke heard, she didn't say anything.
Peter: now then, if you would be so kind as to provide the upgrades miss Galloway?
Veranke smirks and begins shape-shifting.
(A.N. yes, her human form is sabrina Galloway from prototype 2, fucking love that game and the first one)
Sabrina: of course Mr Parker, it would be my absolute pleasure.
Sabrina closes and grabs the briefcase and walks up to Peter, putting a hand on his chest.
Sabrina: will that be all Mr Parker?
Peter: that will be all Ms Galloway.
Sabrina smiles and walks to the office door and opens it. Before she leaves, she winks and blows a kiss peters way before closing it. Said spider themed hero leans against his desk and runs his hands down his face.
Peter: (quietly) Holy shit.
A ping gets Peter's attention, making him grab his phone and see a location marked on his map, knowing what it was, he stood up and began making his way out.
Peter: (outloud) ultron, cancel any appointments I've got today and reschedule them to different times, I've got somewhere important I need to be.
As Peter makes it to the elevator and presses a button, a hologram of ultrons head shows up.
Ultron: I suppose that your meeting with the skrull queen went well?
Peter: it's one way of putting it. Make sure everything runs smoothly while I'm gone ok?
Ultron: of course father, may I ask why you're leaving so suddenly?
Peter: long before I was taken by otto I heard of a very familiar symbiote, only this time they were doing good instead of bad things, I plan to meet up with them and if possible, teach them?
Ultron: another protoge? I thought you were done teaching.
Peter: training the younger generation is something I'll never get tired of doing, the feeling of pride seeing them do amazing things and improving without the help of their mentor is something that can not be described in simple words. This one I'm going to see has potential, one that hasn't been brought out by the person that should really train her.
Ultron: that's what I like about you father, you know who has the potential to truly bring peace.
Peter: indeed I do ultron....
The elevator doors open and he begins walking to the main exit.
Peter: indeed I do.
(Timeskip)
A girl wearing punk clothing, piercings, blue eyes and black hair could be seen unlocking a door and walking into a small apartment. Closing and locking the door, the punk girl tosses her bag on the sofa as a yellow/red tendril sprouts out of her back and goes to the fridge door to open it and pull out a soda and returns to the girl and handing the soda and retracts into her back. This girl is none other than Andrea 'Andi' Benton.
???: we're hungry for some brains.
And her alien partner scream.
Andi: you're always hungry, can't you for once NOT be hungry?
Andi popped the lid of the soda can and began to drink it as a yellow and red tendril with the face of scream sprouts out of her shoulder and moves to face her host.
Scream: that is impossible andi, we crave brains, you need to help ussss get them or we could eat your kidneys.
Andi: ok listen here you McDonald's-
???: am I interrupting something?
Andi and scream turn to face the voice to see Peter Parker setting on a chair.
Peter: cause I can come back later.
Andi and scream stood frozen at suddenly seeing the owner of Parker industries just calmly sitting there.
Andi: umm.....hi
Peter: hello.
......
......
......
......
Andi: how long have you been there?
Peter: since you walked in.
Scream: you look familiar, have we met?
Peter: we haven't, not face to face at least, the first time we met was more of a.....
Peter stands and backflips and lands onto the ceiling, shocking andi.
Peter: mask to face.
Scream:...... oh yeah now I remember who you are, you're the spiderman that daddy dearest loves and hates so much.
Andi: (shocked) hoooly shit, you're spiderman.
Peter: yes, yes I am (drops down) and I'd like to talk to you about something.
Peter pulls out his phone and a holographic screen pops up to show andi fighting a group of mercenaries led by crossbones wearing a black symbiote suit which was dubbed mania.
Peter: that's you.
Scream stares at the screen before turning to face andi with narrowed eyes.
Scream: are you cheating on us andi?
Andi: what?! No, I wore that suit way before you came around!
Scream: oh I see how it is, this is someone who you want back in your life so you can throw us out!!
Andi: what the fu- where do you get that idea?!?!?
Peter clears his throat, gaining their attention.
Peter: can you please have your lovers quarrel once I'm out of here?
Andi: ok first of it's NOT a lover's quarrel-
Scream: this is just a symbiote and their host talking about a past relationship that they did not tell US!!!
Andi: not everything is about you scream!
Scream: the fuck it ain't!!
Peter: ladies, ladies can we please get back to why I'm here?
The 2 remain silent allowing Peter to continue.
Peter: thank you. Now I'll admit, what you did against those mercs was pretty impressive. But-
Peter shows another video, showing andi with her hell mark on display.
Peter: this has caught my attention. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was of mephisto's design.
Andi said nothing to that.
Peter: I'm right aren't I? Tell me andi what deal did you make to gain that mark from a bastard like him.
Andi: I didn't, my uh first symbiote mania, somewhat made a deal and was given the hell mark and since I was bonded with it, I was given it by default.
Scream: (mumbles) we got given the sloppy seconds.
Andi: oh fuck off.
Peter: anyways.... does anyone know about (gestures to scream and andi) this?
Andi and scream stare at eachother for a moment.
Scream: not....exactly.
Andi: agent venom knows about the whole mania and hell mark situation, but he doesn't know about scream.
Peter: Ah yes, agent venom. Good ole flash Thompson.
Andi: (surpised) you know him?
Peter: oh yes, he was my highschool bully.
Andi: I'm sorry what?! Mr Thompson? A bully? That's-
Peter: hard to believe? I know. Not many people want to believe that a person they know acted differently during their younger years. I mean look at me, I was a science nerd and now I'm an owner of a billion dollar company.
Andi says nothing but sits down in front of Peter.
Andi: what do you want with us?
Peter: I just want to know something, why do all this (gestures to both scream and andi) what makes you get up from bed, transform into scream, go out there and fight the bad guys?
Andi says nothing for a moment, scream meanwhile stares at andi, feeling the turmoil in her host. Peter waited patiently for andi to speak and it wasn't long before she did.
Andi: I grew up barely knowing my parents, the only one who took care of me was my grandmother but it wasn't long before she died too, I ended up living alone fighting to earn my place in this dammed world. One day I caught Mr Thompson using the venom symbiote to take care of a bully that was harrasing a nerd.
Peter rose an eyebrow at the irony of that situation, the guy who bullied him for being a nerd was taking care of a bully that was messing with a nerd. It was honestly amusing to him.
Andi: it wasn't long before I confronted him about it and got caught up in a mess that involved jack'o lantern who was burning the place on fire, Mr Thompson sent a portion of the venom symbiote which latched onto me and I became mania. (Clenthes fists) I had so much power in my hands and I was gonna use it to kill the bastard but Mr Thompson stopped me. After that I got caught up in this whole paranormal bullshit which led to me learning about the hell mark.
It was then scream cut in.
Scream: (angrily) and when that prick promised to help, he shot off into fucking space hoping that the issue would fix itself.
Andi: he did come back-
Scream: and how did that work out?
Andi said nothing.
Peter: I remember hearing how you suddenly disappeared, was it because you didn't have your symbiote?
Andi just nodded.
Peter: and I'm guessing you and scream met when that giant symbiote monster appeared in new York?
This time both andi and scream nod.
Peter: that's great and all but you didn't really answer my question, why do all this?
Andi:..... I have been given something powerful, and I can decide when and how I want to use it, when I lost mania, I struggled to live a normal life and had trouble finding a place to rest. When I came upon a F.E.A.S.T center, I met this really nice lady named may Parker.
Peters breath hitched slightly.
Andi: she practically took care of me during my whole crisis, she taught me how to take care of people who were in similar situations to me, told me that if you have the ability to help someone, you not only help them, but you help everyone. She also mentioned a very interesting saying that her husband always said, with great power-
Peter: comes great responsibility.
Andi and scream stare at Peter who stared back at both.
Scream: nice woman, that one.
Peter: (nods slightly) one of the best.
A moment of silence passes.
Peter: so that's why you do all this? You fight the bullies and look out for the little guy?
Andi: (nods) yeah, the little guy.
Peter nodded his head before clapping his hands and standing up.
Peter: alright I decided!
Scream: decided what?
Peter: to train you!
Andi: rich boy says what now?
Peter: you andi, have untapped potential. You need someone who can teach you how to be a true hero of the people, I mean, look at the heroes of today, the avengers are lazy, xmen look after themselves, inhumans keep to themselves, fantastic 4 are always in their building, the defenders are sucking and last but not least, flash hasn't even trained you to utilise the full power of the symbiote.
Andi: (raises eyebrow) and you have utilised it?
Peter: young lady who do you think wore the venom symbiote before flash?
Scream: Eddie brock?
Peter:......... ok before Eddie brock.
Scream: (skeptical) why are you really doing this Parker? We know that some of the things you said are true but there's another reason, so what is it?
Andi nodded, agreeing with her alien partner and gazed intently at Peter.
Peter:.......... (sigh) andi look, you remind me of what I was like at your age. When I got my powers, I was irresponsible and it cost me someone very precious to me. Along the line I learned that not everything is about me, it's about making sure that the people get to see their families and live another day. Down the line, I've had to face a lot more failures, some that have marked me to this day, (stares at andi directly in the eyes) I don't want the future generation to go through similar things that happened to me. I want to train you so that you can be there to save people in a ways I couldn't, give people hope in ways I never could and became the new friendly neighbourhood hero, that's why I want to teach you. So...... what do you say?
Andi stares at her alien partner who stares back, a mental conversation going on between them before andi puts her soda on the a nearby table and stands up and stares at Peter.
Andi: I will have you teach me, but promise me one thing.
Peter: what?
Andi: (stares at the ground for a moment) promise you won't leave me like Mr Thompson did?
Peter gets flashbacks to all the times he was abandoned but just as they appeared, they were gone.
Peter: (gently grasps her shoulders) andi, I swear that I won't abandon you. I WON'T have you end up thinking you're a failure. I will swear on that with every fibre of my being.
Andi stares into peters eyes and sees the truth in them and without thinking hugs the spider themed hero.
Peter awkwardly pats her back, as a way to reassure her.
Peter: I don't think we're at that part of our mentorship andi.
Andi: don't care.
Scream slowly leans close to Peter.
Scream: you hurt our host and we will feast on your brains.
Before Peter could say anything back, his phone rings. The spider and symbiotic hero break away, allowing Peter to pull out his phone and a holographic head of ultron shows up.
Peter: ultron? What's the matter?
Ultron: forgive me for disturbing you father, but you need to see this.
Ultrons head disappears and in its place is news footage that shocks Peter.
The footage shows Betty Ross aka red she hulk, his girlfriend, standing amongst the bodies of the avengers whilst holding iron man's limp body by the head.
Peter stared at it for a moment, trying to comprehend what he was seeing before he said the first things that came to his head.
Peter: WHAT THE FU-
