Chapter 1

I don't own Spider-man

Jason Parker was working on delivering some newspapers as was his job. It didn't pay as much as what Peter did but Jason figured he would rather not try to take pictures of himself in his alien costume. Jason is the host to a symbiote named Nero as he called it. It is the son of another symbiote named Toxin. Jason tried to teach Nero the difference between right and wrong and was being pretty successful.

Pat was wanting him to prove to the world that not all of Nero's and Toxins race were all bad. Jason knew it would be a long and hard journey but he was still going to try anyway. After all his uncle Ben Parker had always said:

"With great power comes great responsibility." A saying that Jason took to be a life modeling phrase and he was teaching Nero this as well. The city didn't exactly need more heroes at the moment. New York was full of them with Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Doctor Strange, and Toxin as well as a few others.

It also has a lot of supervillains to counter these people. Living in this city is pretty chaotic at times is a thought that went through every New Yorkers head. It only got worse when psychos like Kassidy get superpowers from an alien symbiote named Carnage and who is Neros grandfather. Not to mention that Eddie Brock is Venom.

The symbiotes get a lot of bad press and really it needs to end. That's what Jason had decided to make his responsibility. To help his friend's race out because not every one of them is evil and they don't deserve to be treated as such.

Zoe Brock had a different opinion on this topic. She had watched Venom and Eddie murder her mom. That incident made her the host of a symbiote named Chaos. She didn't trust the thing in her head but she also didn't want to get rid of it till she found Venom. She wanted revenge against her father and she would use any means necessary to get it.

However she also didn't know a thing about the alien creature inside her body. Unlike Jason who tried to learn as much about his as he could she tried to avoid the topic. Which is ironically what begins this story.

Jason had finished his job and was heading home which is usually when trouble would find him. On his way home he found a group of four guys surrounding one of his classmates in an alley. Jason walked over to the group quietly til he was next to it he seen that it was Zoe.

"You know gentlemen it isn't good form to scare a lady especially one so pretty," Jason said his attitude was confident unlike how he was at school.

"What do you think you're going to do about it kid?" the leader said.

"I am going to knock you out of course," Jason said as he took a couple steps forwards. The gang of four men started laughing so hard they didn't hear the second part of that sentence which was, "Hey Nero mind helping me out a bit?"

"Sure just give it a second," a voice that only Jason could hear in his head said to him. After that exchange a suit that looked like Toxins slim form showed up. The only difference is that it is red and black. The two men that saw this stopped laughing and tried to run away.

They didn't get very far when two red tendrils latched on to both of their backs which Jason used to slam the two together knocking them out. One of the two remaining thugs pulled a knife on Jason or Nero as he called his alter ego and tried to stab him with it. The alien superhero dodged the knife and hit the guy wielding it with his fist.

The final thief tried to kick him but Nero caught it and as lightly as he could slammed the guy on the ground. Zoe had a panicked look on her face as memories of what happened to her mom came to her.

"No we cannot let it happen again we won't let it happen again!" Zoe screamed as Chaos covered her body.

"What is her problem?" Nero asked but he got no answer. Chaos jumped at him which Nero effortlessly dodged. Chaos then began shooting tendrils at the alien encased hero who was dodging every one of her moves. Jason sighed to himself inside his alien costume before he said, "Don't hate me for this."

Nero then jumped in the air and turned his right arm into a curved black sword which he used to cut the incoming tendrils. Once he landed in front of her he punched her with his left fist and used the blade to kick Chaos in the face (he used the blade like a staff to support his weight when he kicked her). Chaos was beginning to realize as was Zoe that she was on the losing end of this fight. Jason landed and planted his feet firmly in the alley.

"Hey Jason," Nero said.

"What is it buddy?" Jason asked.

"Is this fight unfair?" Nero asked to which Jason considered the question.

"Hey buddy mind removing the suit so we can convince her that we aren't evil?" Jason asked his partner.

"Sure but at the first sign of danger from her I am going to take control," Nero answered as the suit started to fade reviling Jason's civilian clothes.

"Yeah I hear you," Jason said back. Chaos faded from Zoe to see what was going on.

"I am confused," Zoe said.

"Oh I was talking to the alien symbiote I assumed you would know since you also had one," Jason said.

"They can talk?" Zoe asked.

"Of course they can talk they are sentient beings you know," Jason said.

"What else should I know about this thing?" Zoe asked.

"Well each symbiotes offspring is twice as strong as the parent," Jason said.

"So mine is twice as strong as Venom," Zoe stated.

"At base yes," Jason said then continued, "other factors go into strength such as experience and biomass."
