Spiderman: Into the Venomverse
CHAPTER 2:
"And over there is the Golden Gate bridge," Happy pointed towards the distance and Peter snapped out of his daydream
"We almost there?" Peter asked looking at Happy's phone which sat in the seat of the speedboat next to him.
"Should be there shortly…" Happy glanced at the screen of the GPS, Peter still had his eyes on the phone.
Peter aimed and shot a web that latched onto the phone and before he could bring it back towards him Happy grabbed the phone.
"Peter!" Happy struggled to pull the webs off the back of his phone, "Peter I know you want to talk to your friends but you can't!"
"Fine, fine okay" Peter muttered before sitting back and crossing his arms. He began to look at the buildings of San Francisco in the distance which reminded him a lot of New York.
"I'm sorry Pete but if Fury found out you contacted your friends he'll probably take this assignment away from you," Happy said as they neared the docks.
After parking the boat in the bay Peter stood, Happy looked up at him and then down at Peter's backpack.
"Instructions are in there, radio, money for food, and a disguise," Happy went on, "this isn't New York but you never know if a tourist will point you out so put the glasses and hat on."
Peter opened the bag and pulled Tony's glasses and a hat out, he put both of them on and looked up at the dock and then back at Happy.
"Good luck Pete," Happy smiled.
"Thanks Happy," Peter smiled, "keep an eye on May for me while I'm gone, make sure she's ok."
"Of course," Happy gave his last farewell and Peter jumped onto the dock and headed towards the city for his assignment.
"Hello Peter," Peter recognised the voice as Edith, the AI that was given to him by Tony after what happened he died.
"Good to hear your voice again Edith," Peter greeted and began walking and admiring the storefronts and people of San Francisco.
"I've been equipped with a tracker that will help track the next anomaly in San Francisco," Edith explained, "I will inform you when another anomaly appears."
"Thanks Edith," Peter said, "I'd like to call someone please actually."
"Sorry Peter but Agent Fury has banned communicational services and if you try to call anyone using another type of phone I will have to alert him," Edith said.
"Man, and I thought Tony gave you to me," Peter said, "is there anywhere to go around here that I can wait around until some interdimensional portal opens up?"
"There is a comic book store located around the corner," Edith showed a screen that directed Peter to the comic book store.
Peter stood outside the comic book store a few minutes later, looking up at the sign.
"Excelsior Comics" Peter smiled and looked through the glass at the merchandise, "cool."
The bell rang as Peter walked through the door, the shelves were filled with comics and props from comics. An old man sat in a chair behind the front register, his hair white with some grey at the top, he had black rimmed glasses on that resembled Peter's. The man was reading a Thor comic book while playing with a prop of Thor's hammer.
"Guess your worthy then huh?" Peter asked pointing to the hammer jokingly.
"Man, I wonder where that guy went" the man said and laughed, making Peter start to wonder the same thing.
Peter sat down and flipped through comic books awaiting Edith's tip that anything coming from another universe shows up. After a few hours Peter sat against the wall asleep with a few comic books next to him he'd been reading.
"Peter, we've got something" Edith said, a bright flashing light shined on the screen of the glasses which awakened Peter.
"Wha-where!" Peter sat up startled, "where is it Edith?"
A man, around his 30's, walked down the sidewalk with a cup of coffee in his hand and phone in the other. A camera hung from a strap wrapped over the man's shoulder, the man froze and looked around for a second before beginning to walk again.
"Stupid phone…" Eddie held his phone up, as he couldn't get a connection.
"What is wrong?" Venom asked, the voice inside Eddie's head asked.
"Nothing, it's nothing," Eddie said, "can't even make a phone call, jeez."
Eddie turned and tried walking into his apartment, but the sign on the door said "TO BE CONDEMNED" which finally made Eddie lose it.
Suddenly, Peter ran past, accidentally nudging Eddie and making him drop his coffee on the concrete sidewalk.
"What are you kidding me!" Eddie yelled ahead at who he thought was a stranger, "watch it kid!"
"He did something bad!" Venom said.
"Chill, chill alright" Eddie said, "just some stupid kid, no harm done I guess but now I'm without service and a coffee."
"Peter, you passed it" Edith warned, "turn around, behind you."
"Where?" Peter looked around as people walked by, "who is it, I can't tell?"
As Peter stood, Eddie walked up to him and pushed him into the nearby alleyway.
"Real funny!" Eddie yelled, "how old are you, 15? Learn how to walk!"
"What the hell are you talking about man!" Peter felt his spidey sense and immediately jumped into action and shot a small web at Eddie's shoulder.
"What the-" Eddie backed up and tried pulling it off, Eddie's hand became a thick black substance and soon it spread down to his whole arm. He threw Peter against the wall and Venom started to form, Peter kicked him in the stomach long enough to begin running down the alley.
"Get back here!" Venom roared with anger and now in full form launched himself towards Peter.
His spidey sense alerted him, Peter shot a web and launched towards the nearest building and began climbing up the wall. Venom ran on all fours and began flying up the wall after Peter, Venom grabbed Peter's ankle and threw him towards the ground.
Peter fell towards the ground but shot a web which broke immediately yet slowed his fall, he landed on the hard ground and looked up as Venom jumped down to the ground. Venom stood over Peter looking hungry, Peter looked up in shock.
"Who are you man!?" Peter asked holding his hands up slightly to show he won't attack him anymore.
"I am Venom!" Venom said, Peter laid on the ground looking up confused.
"Peter, would you like me to send help?" Edith asked, Peter was lucky he still had the glasses on after the great fall.
"Who is that!" Venom yelled in Peter's face, showing all his teeth, "who are you!"
"My name is Peter Parker!" Peter yelled back trying to persuade him, "Spiderman! I'm Spiderman!"
Venom sunk down and disappeared, leaving behind Eddie in his place who stood over Peter.
"Hello Peter Parker, my name is Eddie Brock" Eddie looked down, "now tell me where the hell I am because I know there's something wrong!"
