"What's your names?" She asked them. They all didn't respond to her. Instead, the Slayers looked to each other.
Everyone figured out their names, though. The first one, the blue and yellow Slayer is Bone Spider. She thought that they call him porcupine, but she digress. The grey and red one is Goliath Spider, which was pretty obvious. The last one, now thinking back to it, the one that looks like Future Foundation Spider-Man, is named Ghost Spider. He has cooler powers than his siblings, no offense.
Throughout the day, they said nothing to either Naomi or Dr. Crawford. They tried to have fun with them with board games. They did what was told, but they seemed very hesitant with them, so that didn't work. Naomi tried to tell them stories, but they all look the other way, not paying attention to her. She offered video games, but they looked at the controller to drop it without the thought of breaking them in the process. Nothing seemed to be working for them.
Naomi sees the boys are pretty introverted when she met them. They didn't really want to talk to her that much, which was disheartening. She remembered that they haven't saw the light of day for who knows how long. Guess it would of been obvious to suspect everything at once. She decided that it would be her goal to get closer to them as much as possible.
Thinking to herself as she writes on a scrap of paper, Naomi is trying to think of anything for them to do to at least open up to her. Fun little things like video games or card games. She remembered that when she was little, she used to play those silly games with her friends. Especially superhero games. Those were the golden days when kids didn't used the internet that much, and she got into Spider-Man.
Memories flooded her at the day she became his biggest fan. She was a small little girl, walking on a boardwalk where a carnival was held. That's when they bumped into a street performer, asking little kids who were their favorite hero. A smile graced her when she remembered her parents suggest to say a certain hero's name. With a joyous tone and fun vibe, he cheered, pointing at himself, "Hey! That's me! I'm Spider-Man!"
Carnage sees her doing so, but it got real annoyed with her. It felt like it wasn't enough for them to open up to her. It wasn't even sure that Naomi can make them open up to her just by giving them kiddy stuff. These guys are more than just children. They probably know more than her, and probably act older than her. She can't just woo them over by stuff like this.
Dr. Crawford is looking after them right now, so it's up to her to find out what they should all do. An idea popped into her head. She writes it down, "Super Smash Bros." as the grin on her face sprouts. Carnage is really getting upset with her. It sighs inside of her head, cringing at what the girl is doing.
"What is it, goo for brains?" She asks in a sarcastic way, having a sassy look on her face.
Whelp, looks like it can't hide it anymore. Time to get an earful from this girl now, so it's not going to beat around the bush, "These guys aren't just children that need babysitting. What they really need is freedom! Let them roam around the city, for Peter Parker's sake!" It yelled at her as it was on her shoulder.
She looks at it with her brows furrowed. "No way! Remember last time we did that? Mariah nearly had both of our heads if she wasn't so forgiving! Plus, they may cause trouble throughout the city, and we may have to fight them, catching unwanted eyes from people that we don't want on our trails!"
"Like hell I care about that! You said you wanted them to be free, and now you're keeping them here like caged birds. Make up your mind already!" Carnage argues back at her with its head butting on her forehead.
Naomi growls back at it as she explains to it in a loud voice, "I will when it's the right time! Right now, we have to make sure they're calm enough to even be let outside." She crosses her arm as she glares at Carnage. It can feel her frustration and fear. What is there to be afraid of? "What if they run away, and we may not see them again?"
"Listen! I'm strong enough to keep them together! And you're a know-it-all! What do you think may go wrong?" Carnage snaps back at her, glaring intensely at her.
Her body is shaking with rage. Carnage can feel how much she wanted to wring its neck. She sighs, grimacing at Carnage, "Ya know what? It's late already, and I want to go to sleep. They are not going out, and that's final. I will make sure Mariah burns your ass if you were to bring them out."
She stomps her way up the stairs to her bed. Carnage was already back inside her. She's too tired to even continue her wrathful thoughts. She closes her eyes, muttering something under breathe, falling asleep like that. Unbeknown to her, Carnage begins to take over her whole entire body.
Carnage isn't going to listen to her at all. It will do whatever it wants, with or without anyone's permission. Carnage turns it and the sleeping Naomi back into Chaos. Instead of Naomi's mouth, it covers the bottom half of her face with its own, like a surgical mask. It feels it's own smile on her face, finally feeling great for having a complete body. It can't be focus on this for too long; Carnage has unfinished business with the Slayers.
Mariah seems to also be asleep as well. That's good, or else there might be another problem. Carnage went into the lab and sees the Slayers in their pods. It uses Naomi's hand to open them up. The glass on the pods went up to wake up the dormant brothers.
They looks around to see Chaos in front of them. Ghost Spider looks to his brothers, as if they're ready to fight Chaos again. Carnage held their hand up and says to them, its mouth moving from the bottom half, "I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to bring you out for a night stroll. C'mon."
No one is moving. Carnage decided to start walking out. Bone Spider is the first one to follow Carnage out of the door. The two other Spiders didn't know what to do, but they felt like they shouldn't leave their brother alone with that thing. Goliath Spider follows behind him with Ghost Spider behind him.
A night in New York City is absolutely beautiful as everyone is swinging on their webs. Carnage is leading them while the Slayers look behind them, enjoying the view of the city as the lights are shining like the night stars, maybe even brighter. Carnage smirks to itself as it thought that this is what they really needed.
It thought to itself that this is the life. No one to tell you what to do, no walls, no anything but the skies. Carnage isn't made for peace nor prosperity. It realized that it was in a chaotic environment, but all that did was make the Symbiote annoyed. This peaceful and quiet night is making it feel calm. How ironic is that, tarnishing the Carnage name.
Everyone decided to stop for a minute. Just to take a break. All of them were staring at the glowing city as some cars passed by to break that still silence. Carnage looks to the other Slayers as they also watch the city sights. It can tell by their tiny gasps, wide eyes, and their bodies to try to get a better view, that they're excited to be outside.
"Hey, Slayers. Spar with me. It's been a long time that I had a good fight without my stupid host getting in the way. How about it?" Carnage asks with its hand on its hips.
They all agreed, for some reason, to fight Carnage even though it said that it won't fight them a little while ago. They are strange. It seems the big guy decided to go first. His skin became metal in an instant and starts to charge at Carnage.
It dodges out of the way and webs Goliath Spider's feet to knock it down, but Ghost Spider is behind it! Ghost Spider grabs him by the wrist to smack him down on the rooftop. Carnage wrestles itself out of the grip and starts punch the Spider Slayer in the air. Ghost Spider seems to be the one taking the fall.
A sting on its back interrupts the guard, causing Ghost Spider to be free from Carnage's grip. They battle to they both lands on their feet to face each other. The Symbiote didn't get a chance to take a breathe when Goliath came crashing into it, sending it flying in the air. Carnage web-slings back to the rooftop to sees the perpetrator who gave its back a sting. Bone Spider. He is so going to get it.
Then again, where is that Ghost S-
A kick to the side interrupted its thoughts. Carnage got back up to see it was Ghost Spider that did it! That tricky bastard was lucky. It's not going to be lucky this time around! Carnage uses its tendrils to grab Goliath Spider. Carnage smirks as it reels itself back to him with his claws outstretched.
Ghost Spider sees this and goes right after Carnage in an instant. Carnage's Spider Senses warned it of danger. Before Ghost Spider could attack him, Carnage kicks him in the gut.
Bone Spider is right in front of Goliath Spider! It curses to itself as Bone Spider sends his spines towards Chaos. Carnage lets go of Goliath to dodge out of the way.
POW!
It felt like it got hit by a truck as Chaos skidded on the rooftop, back onto its feet. Carnage growls when it saw Goliath Spider. It decided that enough is enough. Carnage sees Ghost Spider coming its way. It got one of its tendrils out again and threw him towards Bone Spider, causing the both of them to be sent flying. Carnage sees Goliath coming again, and jumps up to kick him on the head to knock him down.
The blood rushing through the veins at a fast rate. Heart beating fast. The smell of sweat in the air. It smiles. This is what it was made for. To fight! It was made to fight people to begin with.
Then again... Naomi is going to have a fit if she got any injuries on her body. Wait, why would it care about a trivial thing such as that, it's pure chaos, made for carnage! Naomi is a really annoying girl who'll keep screaming at it. Maybe even torch it if it got smart with her. Its eyes twitches as it got annoyed with itself for getting scared over a human girl like this. Or it's better to not deal with the bullshit when she wakes up. It starts to hate itself and Naomi, even more so.
The Slayers got back up and went back into a fighting position. Carnage sighs, rubbing its head. The three sees that it's not fighting anymore, and starts to relax again. Carnage went up to the three to see if they're alright, too. She might scream even louder if they were hurt too. It examines them for a little while, but it doesn't see any serious injury other than a couple of bruises that would heal overnight.
"You guys were introduced to my host. Naomi, right?" it asked out of the blue. Everyone looks to Chaos. Ghost Spider nods. Since that's the only answer that it will get out of them, it decided to further explain, "Well, call me Carnage. I'm the other part of Chaos."
They didn't respond at all. It rolls its iris-less eyes. It walks up in the front of them and reaches out to them, offering a handshake. No one seems to what to do. It sighs, explaining, "It's called a 'handshake'. One of you grab it."
No one wants to take it. Carnage sighs through the 'surgical mask'. It's about to take her hand away, but it sees Goliath Spider moving, hesitant. Goliath reaches out, but backs away quickly like the hand was about to bite him. He hesitates for another second till he grabs the hand. Carnage grips his hand softly, not the scare Goliath Spider off.
The other two looks to the two of them as they're standing there. "See? It wasn't that bad." Carnage replies, looking away as it let's go of Goliath Spider. Something is making feel a little flush, so it didn't look to its little brothers. It scratches Naomi's and its neck to try to hide the heat from its cheeks.
"It's hot." Goliath mutters to himself as he looks to his hand. He grabs Naomi's hand again, surprising everyone, even Carnage. "It's hot, but not. Why?"
Ghost Spider is getting curious at what the bigger Spider Slayer is aweing about. His shyness is getting in the way. He shakes his head, and teleports to them, touching the hand, but it went to the wrist, then to the arm. "So are her arms." He replies. He gently squeezes it, trying to figure out what this feeling is.
Bone Spider couldn't believe what his brothers are doing. He is not going over there! Then again, he is pretty curious about that 'hot, but not' feeling they're talking about. No! He will not be peer pressured into doing something so stupid. They are having fun though... Maybe just one squeeze!
Carnage panics as it sees the other brother coming over, and taking her hand with both of his hands. At least she's getting the attention she wanted, it thought in its mind. It shouts to the others, "Ok! Enough fun there!" It begins to gently swat them away from Naomi's body. "What the hell is wrong with you three?"
All of them were a little dazed by that feeling, but they eventually snapped out of it. Ghost Spider decided to respond to Carnage. "We never felt something in between hot and cold before. Our maker trained us in intense heat and extreme cold. But she feels like an in between, like a gentle heat."
An in between? it questions in its mind. Naomi is still asleep, thankfully. Maybe it can look through her memories. Carnage looks through the archives of her mind to see an image. An older woman with blonde hair and brown eyes, that Naomi called 'Mommy'. The woman giggles to the smaller version of Naomi, saying that Naomi is warm as she holds her close.
"Warm." Carnage replies. The Slayers tilt their heads. "The humans call it 'warmth'. And it seems that humans naturally transmit warmth."
Bone Spider looks to his own hand. "Warmth." He flips his hand, looking at the back of the hand, then back to the palm.
"You think we can?" Ghost Spider asks in a curious tone. Carnage thinks that he seems too excited.
Goliath looks disappointingly at his own hand. "We don't... we're monsters." (referring to Spider Slayers part 2, where Ben called them monsters!)
A harsh feeling begins to emerge from Carnage's chest. It places her hand on her chest, trying to figure out the feeling. They're faces, though in a mask, shown sadness. They look at their hand as if they were wishing for a miracle. The feeling on its chest is becoming a nuisance. Maybe if they think about something else, that feeling would go away.
It can't believe it will go by Naomi's words. It hates her with a passion, but if it will make this feeling go away, then it'll do it. "That's why we rescued you. To be part of our family. To be free."
Looking at the is making them feel makes the feeling become worse. They did look back at Carnage. "'Freedom'." Carnage heard Ghost Spider whisper to it. "We never had a thing like that before. We must follow the alpha's will and laws."
"The alpha?" Carnage turns back with a confused look.
"We don't know how to 'be free'." Bone Spider continues on. His head bowed, looking to the crows of people in the city. It looks like a gang of thug. "Our alpha tells us what to do. We don't have a say in anything other than judging who should be the better alpha for our pack. That's all."
"We don't know what to do. It's like we're lost." Goliath tells it.
Everyone decided that they should start swinging back home. The night starts to end. Carnage is still confused about them. Then again, it has been questioning itself during the night it spent with the Slayers. It was confused with itself.
They quietly returned to the lab, and Carnage opens up the pods again. They try not to wake anyone up from their sleep. Even Carnage is wondering why Naomi didn't wake up yet. (*Cough cough* Spectacular Spider *cough*) Maybe it was a Symbiote and host thing. It's not very sure at all.
The Slayers went on the platform to get back into the pods, but they look to Carnage who still needs to close them up. "What's wrong? Why are you not closing our pods?" Ghost Spider asks in his aloof voice.
Carnage sighs. Why is it about to do this? It questions itself, "Ya know. It's ok to be confused. Not every answer just comes to you in an instant. If you have any questions, Naomi will be the one to answer them. She knows way more than us."
Before anyone else could say anything, Carnage closes the containment devices. It quickly went back to Naomi's room, and have them both lay on the bed. That night, it thinks that it found out a little bit more about them. An alpha, huh?
What are these scientists thinking? First making the perfect weapon that was made for chaos, now a bunch of omegas who needs a hierarchy to function properly? It thought that its host is bad. It feels Naomi is still asleep, breathing deeply as she dream peacefully. Maybe Naomi is still a nutcase, in its opinion.
