alkner:Man you are loyal. Thanks for the praise.

OverNerd02: Thanks. Yes the symbiote is being very crafty. And yeah Peter is definitely a ladies man, with how he won Carol over so easily. His pheromones he inherited from Jessica.

Thank you for all your support.

Chapter 4: Gods, Kings, and Men.(Alternate title It came from the Ocean)

The Secret Headquarters of the Mandarin

Loki had been through many changes. He was a horse once, even a woman. But now he was a kid again, a kid with unbelievable magic power and potential. And because of that, people with magical power wanted him. Wanted to take advantage of him before he was at 100%. It's only gotten worse, ever since Dr. Strange went MIA.

"Release me. at once!" Loki yelled. He was now an 18 year old. But that wouldn't help him he had been bound by the Mandarin arch enemy of Ironman.

"Silence child. You,Thor, the Spider-Man all claim to be gods.I am the one true God and I seek your youth." The Mandarin said as he prepared to suck the life out young Loki when suddenly.

"Release my brother." Thor said as he waved his Hammer around.

"No you cannot interrupt the chant!' The Mandarin yelled furiously.

"Have at thee!" Thor yelled rushing it.

"Ikol!" Loki yelled in happiness as his bird began to rip through the magic chains that held him.

"You will not take my brother away from me!' Thor yelled as he swung his hammer in The Mandarins direction. The Mandarin manged to dodge and proceeded to blast Thor. He screamed in pain. Afterwards Thor began to summon lighting. He and Thor parred the power of the 10 rings against the power of Mjolnir. Unfortunately Mandarin took aim against Loki and Thor moved to block the blast..

"You win this time Odinsons but I will be back." The Mandarin said as he disappeared.

"Brother!" Loki yelled running to his side.

"Loki." Thor uttered. He was bleeding out.

"Ikol is there any way to help my brother?" Loki asked

" You can do a incredibly powerful spell that will bind you and your brothers souls into one. Side effects include me being free, your personality changing, and your age shrinking." Ikol answered

"You'll be free?" Loki asked in shock.

"Yes. You will require my power to complete the spell and afterwards the magical draw back will turn me back into my original form." Ikol explained

"Don'.. do...it." Thor begged, holding onto his brother's hand.

"I'm sorry brother but I cannot allow you to die. Let us begin." Loki said as he picked up a book and began to chant. His magpie followed suit."We are not brothers by blood. but we are in spirit it is time that changed. It has been you and I. Loki and Thor shall be no more. Only one shall remain. It's the end of the game. But we are the Odinsons." With that Loki and Thor disappeared in a flash of lighting. Standing in their place was a 14 year old boy with brown hair holding a walking stick.

"Loki lives again." Ikol smiled as he turned into Loki's true form.

"It seems we are both new people. I truly am your opposite now. I am the Thor to your Loki." Kid Loki smiled staring at him.

"It would seem. I will be on my way. But if we cross paths again you will die." Adult Loki said as the God of lies teleported away.

"So how will this work?" Kid Loki asked as he held the hammer in his hands walked outside. And stared into the rainy sky."THOR." he said as he was struck by lighting. Now he was Thor. He stood 6'6 and wore a costume that is slightly different from Thor's.(RGAU: His Marvel NOW costume. Sorry I couldn't help it. Thor's a SHAZAM now.)

Regime Headquarters

Peter's Private Quarters

P.O.V Peter/Venom's

We are something new. Something different. Once we were Spider-Man, a humble hero trying to do his best. Then Spider-Man was symbol, an icon of power capable of shaping the world to his will. Our other half was once a new form of soldier. Something different, something odd. So many conflicting memories, different images. We don't truly understand.

"We feel great." We said getting up and stretching. While sitting in my bed. We haven't felt this great in a year. We feel stronger. I wonder why. I turn and see a lump in our bed. What did we do last night.

"Good morning sweety." I heard a familiar voice say. I turned to see a beautiful blond haired girl.

"Hello Carol." I say what has the symbiote made me do? We have given you what you wanted a new mate. And as you described earlier she doesn't have to be the only one.

"Hi Peter." She said getting up and wrapping her arms around my neck. She kissed me. "I can't tell you how happy this makes me. How pleased I am. I won't let you down Peter I will be everything and anything you want me to be."

"That's good." I said getting up."I'm going to take a shower."

'I'll come to." Carol said seductively, following us.

Abandoned Weapon X Facility

Laura's P.O.V.

The lines were being drawn, the moment that the Avengers stopped Namor and T'Challa from fighting, everyone truly believed that things were serious now. Sides had been forming, but now things were getting far more serious. I have sided with my father, Wolverine. But the real problem is, I don't think anyone knows what we're fighting about. At first we thought it was liberties for villains, but now it seems we're fighting about control. It's..disturbing that we're so eager to throw down.

"Hey X." Jubilee said with a smile.

"Jubilee how did you find us?" I asked, looking up at her.

"The moment you left Utopia, Logan called me." Jubilee answered still grinning.

"Great. So you want to spar? They have some excellent simulations." I asked, trying to keep my mind off things.

"Sure if you think you can take a vampire." Jubilee said flashing her fangs.

"I have a stake right her." I responded as my claws unsheathed themselves.

Avenger's Space Station

Peter's P.O.V.

"I have assembled all of you even the unregistered heroes ." Steve gave me a strange look "To aide in the search for my aunt and her husband. Spot has recently told me to stay out of politics or they die. Well I'm not easily manipulated. Spot several bases around the world you will each check them are the teams. They are as follows. Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye." They nodded, and moved out. "Spider-Woman, Captain America and Ironman." They went to the teleporter. "Falcon, Cyclops and Wolverine." I looked around I couldn't find Logan. He didn't answer the call. "Change Wolverine to Quicksilver. Now Shang Chi, Sunspot and Red Hulk are a team. The final one will be me, Norman and Ms. Marvel."

'Alright Avengers move out!' Carol yelled, barking orders. I love home she does that.

"I can't wait." Norman grinned, I hated that smile.

It was on. The Avengers all searching the Spot's usual hiding places. Trying desperately to find my aunt and her husband. I tried the hardest looking for them. Norman stayed in his lab. Saying he had a plan and were forced to wait for him to finish.

"It's done." Norman said holding a Negative Zone projector.

"What will that do?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Nothing without Darkworld energy. But only a speedster can retrieve it." Norman reasoned, setting it down.

"I'll contact Quicksilver." Carol said pressing the communicator in her mask. "Tommy see if he can find any Darkworld energy."

"You got it Marvel." He responded.

The Base Team Mutant is searching

P.O.V Quicksilver's

"I see something." I said noting a black ball of energy. My other teammates couldn't see it because they don't have the speedster eyes.I grabbed vibrating my molecules to hold on to it. Then I ran to the nearest teleporter. I rush right past Falcon and Cyclops.

"Tommy slow down-" I hear Cyclops cry out, but I'm already gone.

Avenger's recently built Space Station

P.O.V Quicksilver's

"Here." I said handing it to Spider-Man. He placed it into a weird machine. It opened a portal and Peter entered it.

Spotworld

P.O.V Peter's

I hate this place. It's just a dark reflection of the Spot's own twisted mind. I'd never taken him seriously, he was a joke. But in reality, he could be something far more dangerous. I was going to fight him here, now, on his turf. I hated everything about it. And I wasn't just going to let them happen, let it go unpunished. No one did this to me. I won't be pushed around, bullied anymore!

"You'll be released when he promises to stay out of politics." I heard Spot tell my aunt.

"No they'll leave now!" I yelled at him.

"Peter." Aunt May said cheerily.

"No you can't stop me." Spot yelled, moving and dashing around.

"I already have." I said as I rushed and I grabbed my Aunt and her husband a flew out through the portal. This was all a part of the plan, now that the Spot was off guard, the Green Goblin rushed in, and rammed the Spot from behind with his glider.

"Welcome back Peter." Carol said with a smile, as Norman walked out behind me with the Spot's now dead body.

"Norman open this portal to these coordinates." I hand him a piece of paper. "And Carol take them back to their house in Boston."

White House

An hour ago

P.O.V Logan's

I directly confront the President himself, calling his plan "Incredibly stupid." I tell the President not to touch a man's parents and not to call out. The President says he thought it couldn't be traced back to him. I reveal he was right, but I was acting on a hunch and that my hunch was just confirmed.

The President asks if I will tell the Avengers, which the I say I will not but begins to warn the president that my fellow heroes may work it out like I did. The President is convinced that even if they did, they wouldn't dare try anything but I heatedly call the President naive and that he would just disappear. "The police wouldn't think to look for your body on Saturn!"

I go on to say that the President's plan failed and only served to strengthen Spider-man's resolve and unite several superheroes to his side. The President notes my use of the term "Them, and not we." The President guesses I understands the true depth of the situation and what Spider-man is capable of doing to the world with all his power. I replied, "He is trying to bring about peace." The President asks how Spider-Man will keep that peace, and reminds me that power corrupts. I vanish, leaving the President to contemplate.

"If only it weren't true."

Abandoned Weapon X facility

Now

P.O.V No ones
Jubilee and Laura are sparring when Jubilee turns around and begins to walk away. Laura had gone out for a walk afterward, deciding to just take in the area. She figured she was safe here, the Regime men were to ashamed to point her out in a line up. And none of them even came close to this part of town. Suddenly she caught a scent far more dangerous, however. Laura unsheathes her claws and there about to connect when Peter catches her hand.

"Hello Peter." Laura says cheerily.

"Great moves Laura." Peter says causing Laura to blush.

"Thanks for killing Sabretooth." Laura says smiling. Peter turns to Jubilee.

"Where is Logan?" Peter asks her, knowing Logan had X-Men facility around here.

'He's at the computer." Jubilee tells him.

"Thanks." Peter says as he leaves to find Logan.

"He smells different." Laura says turning to Jubilee

Wolverine is next seen confronted by Spider-man' in the cave. Peter demands to know why Wolverine wasn't there to help the heroes find his aunt.

Wolverine replies that he was "Doing what needed to be done." This shocks Spider-Man, who knows Logan understands this more than anyone. Logan tells Peter he has to stop what he's doing. Spider-Man is shocked, rationalizing his actions by saying he's saved lives and prevented the deaths of millions of innocents. Wolverine's only response is, "You're scaring them."

Spider-Man screams, "GOOD!" and rips of Logan's mask and rants about how he is glad they are too scared to keep killing each other. He says Wolverine is the one who taught him this. Logan tries to get a word in, but Spider-Man goes on, saying Wolverine would do exactly what he's doing if he had experienced what Peter had and had his powers. Wolverine's only response is, "You killed a man, Peter."

"So? Logan you've killed a lot of people what right do you have to judge me?" Peter asked, priming with fury.

"I regret every death. Some people aren't meant to be killers. Yer one of them." Logan answered with a retort.

Spider-man justifies his actions and condemns Wolverine for having allowed him to live, asking him if he felt guilty and responsible for allowing Sabretooth to live. Logan lowers his head and responds, "Every time." He goes on to say that the superhumans don't get to decide who lives and dies and that Peter taught him that.. Spider-Man continues to justify that his actions saved millions of lives at the cost of one.

Wolverine replies that, "That's how justification works. But once you justify something once, you can do it again and again. It becomes easier."

Spider-Man suddenly accuses Wolverine of not mourning the destruction of New York, but for Sabretooth, and dares to suggest that he is angry with Spider-Man for having "taken" Sabretooth from him. Wolverine responds, "You know that's not true." Peter becomes angrier, roaring at Wolverine for allowing Sabretooth to live and destroy millions of lives, and vents his sorrows over losing Mary Jane and their child.

Spider-Man suddenly switches gears, accusing Wolverine of neglecting Jubilee and Laura and not consoling them for friends lost in New York. When Spider-Man demands to know what Logan's excuse is for not being a father to them, Wolverine loses his cool and punches Peter across the jaw, only serving to injure himself. the computer suddenly gives off an alarm, and Wolverine fills Spider-Man in on the situation in the Pacific Ocean, specifically the battle between Atlantis and the Avengers.

Spider-Man begins to leave, but Logan asks Peter to wait. He tells him, "You can't put yourself above us, Peter. You're right. I'm not saying I'd act differently if I had your abilities. I'm not saying I wouldn't try to impose peace. But you...You're a better man than I am."

Peter makes one last offer to Logan to come with him, but Wolverine declines and apologizes.

Spider-Man simply leaves without a word.

Wolverine quickly syncs with the Avenger's communications and hacks into Atlantis' channel to contact Namor, warning him of Spider-man's approach and current emotional state. He advises Namor to stop, as there is no telling what Spider-Man may do in response to his attack on the Regime. Wolverine monitors Spider-Man and Sub Mariner's confrontation, only telling Namor to agree to Spider-Man's demand of calling off the Kraken. Wolverine becomes panicked however, when he listens to Sub-Mariner's provoking ultimatum and show of power by having his armies appear at several ports and bridges around the world.

"This my power. I have placed my men at every port on Earth. This is my strength. The entire planet would come to a halt if I willed it. You control the land not the seas. I allowed your contents to float on my kingdom." Namor explains.

Logan calls Namor an idiot, telling him Spider-Man will not respond to such demands. Indeed, Spider-Man's response to Namor's challenge is to lift Atlantis from the bottom of the sea and place it in the Sahara.

"So this is a show of power Namor? Well this is ours." Peter says his voice booming.

'Well well. You can control the land. But the sea is mine!' Namor yells, he would fight as he wished.

'I don't care if they killed your stupid whales. No war." Spider-Man reminds him.

Wolverine attempts to reason with Spider-man, contacting him over communicator, but Spider-man cuts him off and reveals he could hear Wolverine as he spoke to Sub Mariner, and then has Ironman remove Wolverine from their communications. Logan only has time for one last protest before he is cut off from the Avengers, officially ousted by Spider-Man.

"Now remove your armies from the shores." Peter yells, furious.

"And if I don't?" Namor asks, standing his ground.

"Thor will destroy your city." Peter warns.

"Peter." Cyclops said. "Please Namor comply."

"Cyclops, Ms. Marvel talk with him. Thor, Ironman and I will guide the city." Peter said flying away.

"Please Namor." Ms. Marvel begged, knowing he had a thing for blondes.

"What if he told the mutants they could not defend themselves or if he outlawed aliens.?" Namor asked, poking at her sensitivities.

"Peter wouldn't do that." Ms. Marvel told him.

"Just comply Namor." Cyclops said, knowing Namor wasn't helping the mutant image.

"Fine Summers." Namor said, finally agreeing.

"My work here is done." Cyclops began to walk away, not truly having been there to fight.

"Carol tell Peter that if he is going to control the world to ask for my guidance I ruled Atlantis for many years peacefully." Namor said. "And tell him I'm sorry about Mary Jane."

Ms. Marvel then flew back to the Sahara and she, Peter, Thor, and Ironman fly Atlantis back. Then Peter and Carol go to the Regime base.

"Did Namor say any thing else ?" Peter asked as he sat on his throne and Carol sat on his lap.

She thought about it for a moment then answered."No." Then Peter lifted his mask and the two began to kiss. Then Norman Osborn walked in.

"Hope I'm not interrupting." Norman said, with his usual grin.

"What do you want?" Peter asked, turning to him.

"Well I'm proud of you for what you did." Norman began, as he stepped out of the door way. "So I brought someone for you to meet." A girl about 5'8 walked in. She was wearing an armored suit with a red spider on it.

"Who is she?" Peter asked, feeling tears well up in his eyes.

"You're daughter." Norman said seriously as he gazed at the brown-haired male.

"May?" Peter asked the man with wide-eyes.

"Hey dad." The girl said as she waved at her father nervously.

Abandoned Weapon X Facility

"Why are you here Cap?" Logan asked, having been sitting in silence since Spider-Man left.

"You know Logan. Peter must be stopped." Steve told him.

"I agree but what can we do?" Logan asked.

"Us nothing. But the Avengers can do everything." Steve said with a confident smirk.

"Avengers?" I asked, looking up.

"Yes we're the Avengers now but it won't be the same afterward you have to be committed 100%." Steve said "Can I count on you?"

'Of course." Logan answered.
