guestsurprise's Special Note: This story is loosely based on characters from the Spiderman Homecoming movie. However, this is an AU universe so things will definitely be different from the movie. I wanted to explain this first so that no one will be confused.

It had been six months since his fight with the Vulture and Peter knew that he would be satisfied with staying at home and being with his friends. But after a while, he felt bored again.

Currently, Peter was slumping down in his seat as he looked at the teacher at the front of the class. He was very agitated because he felt like he was once again in a rut. He wanted to fight with the Avengers again and he learned that Tony was really going to accept him into their group!

"Why do things like this always happen to me," he whined, now slumping down even more.

"What things?" Ned asked, now looking over at him.

"Now I feel like I'm in a rut again," Peter said.

"Could you be feeling this way because Liz moved away?" Ned said, knowing how Peter felt. He felt like she could have been the one but he knew it wasn't to be.

"No." Peter said, trying to forget her. But something was just frustrating about the entire day. He wanted to reverse the clock, get Liz back, and join the Avengers formally.

As the two were talking, he noticed a tall and muscular looking guy with dark red/auburn hair come into the room. His hair looked like it was cut in a bob-like style, but definitely masculine. It was semi-longer in the front and shorter in the back. His eyes were a lime green color. As he walked in, he spoke to the professor and was assigned a seat in only a few minutes. As he walked over, he sat across the room from Peter and Ned.

"Who is that?" Peter asked.

"Not sure. But I heard we were getting some new students from the other part of town," Ned said. "Ever since that fight with those robots and aliens, many schools have been destroyed."

As the guy sat down and ran his hands through his hair, it wasn't long before Flash and the others began introducing themselves. Peter rolled his eyes and looked at Ned.

"Great. It won't be long before we have another jock," Peter said, now standing up to go to the restroom. As he tried to cross the room, Flash stuck his foot out and Peter almost fell flat on his face. But his arm was caught by someone.

"Careful." A voice said. He looked up and saw it was the new guy. "You could've broken your nose kid."

"Kid? We're in the same grade," Peter huffed, now standing up and dusting himself off. The red head chuckled and helped him up.

"I'm Nace," he grinned.

"Peter," Peter replied, his pride still wounded from the ungraceful fall.

"You should be more careful Parker," Flash smirked, now looking the other way.

Peter angrily dusted himself off and then walked towards the door to go to the restroom.

After school…

Peter walked the dark alleyways and was going to go on patrol for the night. He needed to clear his head. He was just about to change when he heard laughter. Curious, he followed it and saw the new guy and the others messing with the girls. All of them were having fun, but this made Peter jealous.

"How is the new guy popular and he has only been at school for 24 hours?" Peter huffed, now walking away angrily down the ally. As he was getting farther and farther away, he heard screaming and terror. His eyes widened in horror and he quickly changed into his Spiderman suit. He began swinging quickly, hoping he wasn't too late!

As he arrived, he saw a building was burning and there was someone trapped inside. He flung through the window and saw it was a young lady. She was out cold and definitely looked injured. As he tried to get through the fire, his eyes shot open as he saw a figure picking her up and gently fingering at the necklace around her neck. The figure then took the necklace off her and then began heading towards the open window.

"HEY! YOU! DROP HER!" He yelled in terror. The figure turned and let out a cackle and it sent shivers up his spine.

"What's the matter Spider boy!" he cackled. "Too hot for you?!"

"What in the world are you?!" Peter said, now horrified at its' cold dark eyes and the large gruesome teeth that were smiling at him.

"Why I'm Carnage! Have you not heard of me?! Pity…let me introduce myself!" the monster laughed. At that moment, he threw a large wooden post that was covered in fire.

"GAH!" He yelped, now feeling the post burn him. He then saw Carnage drop the woman to the floor and take off out he window.

"Creep," Peter hissed, now running and picking her up and carrying her out. He knew about Venom already. He and Eddie Brock used to be friends in the past, but when things went bad, Eddie took on the symbiote Venom and did everything to make his life miserable. Ever since he helped the Avengers, he had heard nothing about Venom causing trouble. But where did this Carnage come from?! He looked like Venom was he wasn't black and his voice was different.

"Something tells me things are going to get even worse," Peter whispered to himself, now gently placing the woman in front of the hospital. And little did he know, he was right.

Meanwhile in a dark and quiet building…

"So…Parker saw you?" Venom smiled evilly.

"Yes, he saw me. The burning building worked," Carnage laughed.

"Good. The kid is as dumb as I remember," Venom chuckled, now laying back on a dirty, old pillow.

"So what's the first phase?" Carnage cackled.

"We are going to use Spiderman to create a wonderful show," Venom said. "There is an Avengers' expedition and gala coming to town. What better way to "invite" them to our city than to crash the party!"

And with that, the two began to laugh happily as another figure came from the back room.

"Ah! Awake are you?!" Carnage huffed.

"Of course I am. I want to know more about this Spiderman," the voice replied.

"You will know more in due time." Venom smirked.

"When will I see this being? Is he similar to a symbiote?" the figure asked.

"No. We are of much better blood than he is. He is a human with weird powers," Carnage spat.

"And when we do get him, we will use him to get exactly what we want," Venom replied.

The figure nodded and then went back to the window and looked out. He was ready to meet this Spiderman and understand more about him.

Meanwhile in another part of town…

Peter had just gotten back to his apartment and his Aunt May was gone. He knew this was the time to check in with Tony. He pulled out his phone and dialed the billionaire.

"Hello?" Peter asked.

"Kid! I'm glad you're ok! Are you safe?!" Tony responded. "I was just going to call you!"

"Tony? Tony is everything ok?!" Peter asked.

"Listen kid. No matter what…stay low and do not use your powers unless absolutely necessary." Tony said gravely.

"Tony what's wrong?" Peter said, now a bit scared.

"The government has turned on us kid. They now believe we are just as much of a threat as Ultron and those other aliens we fought. We are trying to negotiate but until then keep a very low profile," Tony said.

"But what if someone is in trouble!" Peter said.

"You can help kid but make sure to get out of there as fast as possible. If the government catches you and tells your secret to the world, you are in just as much hot water as the rest of us," Tony said. "I've got to go now, but be careful. I'll call later to check on you."

"Ok bye," Peter said, now hanging up. He had a very bad feeling that was rising in the pit of his stomach.

The next day at school….

Peter was running late and he whipped around the corner fast to make it to class. If he was late one more time, he would be in a lot of trouble.

"Great! Just great!" he said, when suddenly he smacked into a large chest and went flying back on his bum. As he looked up, Nace was standing there.

"Peter? What are you running from?" he chuckled.

"I'm not running from anyone," Peter said, now standing up. But as he looked around him, he could see government tanks start coming down their street and yelling for all the young kids to be inside! The government had been on edge ever since they had alien invasions and differences of opinion with the Avengers. But his heart dropped when he saw a sign on one of the tanks passing. It read "Notify if any metahuman is found!"

Peter visibly gulped. The government was now acting as if they were the bad guys and they wanted to catch them all! Peter quickly turned and took off back for his apartment. School could wait! They had an even bigger problem on their hands!

guestsurprise: And here is the Spiderman story I have been contemplating. Let us see where this journey takes us.
