Chapter 2 Canyon of Death

Location: Wasteland

"AHHHHH! Why does every woman I meet end up wanting to kill me at some point? Oh by the way God I love the irony that the woman that might end up succeeding is literally GONNA SQUISH ME LIKE A SPIDER!" yelled Peter.

As Carol was busy chasing Peter she noticed the area in which she was chasing him. The area they were in was essentially a big canyon with old decaying buildings scattered within. Carol thought it was quite intriguing that that height of this canyon seem to go up at least 100 meters. "Peter Stop!" Carol said,

"You think I'm really gonna stop with you holding that boulder over your head!" Peter said.

"All right FINE!" Carol said as she stopped running with boulder and tossed it so the side. "Peter have you noticed the canyon we're in is pretty large and vast?" Carol said.

"Well now that you mentioned it not only that it seems that an entire city is actually is established here as well." Peter said.

Both Peter and Carol decided to put their little spat on hold as they scouted this seemingly endless canyon. Just as Carol was just about to past the canyon wall to get a birds eye view of the entire landscape she bumped right into a invisible energy barrier. "Ouch!" Carol said,

"What's wrong Carol?" Peter asked.

As Carol was examining the barrier, Peter was web slinging through the ruined city just trying to find out where they were exactly. After testing her photon blast against the barrier proved to be useless as she noticed the energy seem to have no effect, Carol try getting some distance and used her super flight into an all out charge with both fist in front. When Carol made impact with the barrier it immediately sent an explosive energy shock wave that knocked her into a freefall heading toward the ground. Peter heard the explosion and immediately swung back to where he heard the explosion.

"CAROL!" Peter was web slinging as fast as he could to catch Carol just in the nick of time before she hit the ground.

"Raaaaww Ahhhh Yeahhhh and SHE'S SAFE!" Peter said as he caught Carol cradling her in his arms as he slid on the reddish clay ground of this Earth.

Peter made sure that he took the brunt of the impact and slide.

"Are you all right Carol?" Peter asked.

"Yeah I'm fine Peter, thanks for the catch." Carol said as she gently caressed the side of Peter's mask.

"I'm glad my baseball coach said I should just practice being good at base running and catching cause I throw like a girl!" Peter said. (Siege Spider Man one-shot)

Getting a slight chuckle from Carol. She said "Argh, that barrier packs a punch, it knocked me on my ass!"

"Don't you mean it knocked your ass into my hands!" Peter said as he winked through his mask.

"Argh Peter remind me to throw you into the sun once were done with this journey!" Carol said as she was pushing and getting up off Peter.

"Aye Aye Cap…" (SPIDER SENSE) " I think we attracted an audience with the our Broadway play of What killed the spider a boulder or the huge falling butt ? Peter said.

Carol would've given Peter her patented Ms. Marvel death stare if it hadn't been for Peters warning of danger and the fact she could hear various sounds coming right from the cave holes within the canyon walls all around them. Just as the two heroes ready themselves for what may come from the canyon walls they both wondered who or what was going to attack.

Carol and Peter were shocked to see various Lizard men and women coming from the walls. Peter thought to himself these Lizards were close to resembling that of Dr. Curt Connors Lizard, the only difference is these lizards were much larger and were all HULKED out. Vast number of Lizard men and women surrounded our two heroes each varying in size, muscle mass and color.

"Peter I don't feel so hot." Carol said as she drop down to a knee.

"What chu talkin bout Carol? Your hot, you single handedly brought the sales of thigh boots through the roof!" Peter said.

As he turned around he saw Carol on one knee. "What's the matter Carol?" Peter asked.

"I don't know Peter?; I feel like my strength been sapped by that barrier, not all but at least by half!" Carol stood back up and proclaimed "My strength may be a bit diminished but its more than enough to handle the likes of you!".

As Carol said that she charged at a pack of Lizard people with both fist a blazed with photon energy. Peter knew he would have to keep more of a defensive circle around Carol using his agility to dodge and attack numerous Lizard people while watching Carol's back. Carol used every bit of her military training and technique applied with her diminished strength to over come her attackers. She was holding her own against quite a few of them by breaking jaws with punches and kicks until the lizards that were on the ground started to use their tails to ensnare her legs to prevent anymore movement. Peter was busy flipping around the battlefield webbing and striking any Lizards to prevent them from joining the fray and cluttering up the fighting space.

"These Lizards are tougher to bring down, they are not as fast or as agile as Curt (The Lizard) but, their additional body mass makes them more durable to our attacks!" said Peter.

As Peter said this he turned and saw Carol getting tangled up in a cluster of Lizards that seem to have surrounded her and were holding her down. Carol continued to fight off the Lizards as they tried to tackle her down. As she was fighting in the cluster, a Lizard leapt out from above the cluster and tried diving towards Carols face jaws first. Just as the Lizard got within biting distance of Carol Peter use a double legged drop kick to deter the Lizard from biting.

As Peter was within the cluster that was piling on Carol, Peter then asked Carol to "Hold still?.

Carol responded with a "HUH WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKIN ABOUT!" as she said this Peter was doing multiple flares of gymnastic kicks hitting most of the Lizards within the cluster . He then transitioned from the flares into a head spin right on the top of Carol' head dispatching the rest of the Lizards remaining.

As the cluster of lizards were on the ground stunned Peter asked Carol "Are you ok Carol, aside from your hair?'

"Yeah I'm fine just a few scratches.. Huh wait what's wrong with my hair?" Carol asked.

"Oh nothing., lets get going we need to find our way out of this" …(SPIDER SENSE) what now?"

The Earth began to shake beneath them. "Were you about to say something Peter cause I don't think we haven't been through enough today with our world coming to an end, Doom becoming a God and being attacked by Hulked up Lizard people!" Carol said.

"Well how bout we add a giant 300 ft long Hulked out lizard with scorpion claws and scorpion tail to make it a complete day?" Peter said sarcastically.

As soon as Peter finished that statement he quickly grabbed Carol and started web slinging throughout the canyon trying to find a way out.

"Peter why did you pick me I can fl.."

What kind of gentlemen would I be if let my date for the end of the world get eaten by a giant mutated scorpion, lizard thing?" Peter said as he winked .

A/N: I'm trying to set up the mood and setting for how Peter and Carol will eventually fall in love. Again any helpful comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
