After work, Peter sat in his apartment, feeling down turned. After all those people he saved and those villains he fought fiercely, he felt unappreciated by the fact that his very own boss would offend him in the meanest of ways.

Night came and The Lizard and Carnage had another plan in mind. They run over into a dark spot where Toomes was hiding and gathering the money he stole from the bank. Carnage swung in and Toomes blocked his way.

"Back off, Spiderman," he growled.

Carnage growled back at him and Toomes, frightened, pushed him against the wall.

"I want him dead as well, Toomes," Carnage murmured.

Toomes looked back and saw that Carnage was a different ego.

"You do?" he asked curiously.

"Oh, yes. We do," replied The Lizard closing in on the darkness, "just think about it. Spiderman preventing you from helping from your family and making them healthy again. We were just thinking, how is that fair?"

"Wait a minute, aren't you that lab scientist?" Toomes asked.

"Why certainly," The Lizard replied, "and Kassady and I here both have reasons to kill Spiderman. One for me is to get revenge for my defeat and the reason is his defeat. So join us and together we can make him suffer." And then he muttered in his human voice "interested?"

"Yeah" Toomes replied.

"Excellent," The Lizard replied, "now, Kassady. Capture Parker's girlfriend. I think I know where they are now.

And three villains cackled together as a team.

As Peter was waiting for Mary Jane in the restaurant where he was going to pop the question. He had already arranged with the manager to serve the ring Aunt May gave him with some champagne. This time he hoped he would make it work.

Peter saw Mary Jane enter the restaurant and she took a seat across from him.

"Hey Peter," she said.

"Hey," Peter replied.

"You look nervous, Peter," said Mary Jane, "what's the matter?"

"Oh, nothing," said Peter, "anyway, would you like some champagne?"

As the song Mary Jane was singing the jazz club played, the waiter came in with the

champagne. The ring was at the bottom of Mary Jane's glass like Peter arranged last time. As the drinks were served, Mary Jane saw it there.

"How did that get in there?" she gasped.

"MJ," said Peter, "will you marry me?"

A slight tear fell from her eye. Peter could see that she was trying hard not to cry as she gave a slightest smile. But just before she could reply, Carnage smashed in through the restaurant door.

"Hello, Parker," he said in his human voice and cackled with the symbiote.

"Oh, my god, Cletus Kassady?" Peter gasped, "how did you escape from prison?"

"Oh, it was easy," Kassady replied, "just with the help of my friend here."

The Lizard popped down and said, "hello, Parker. Too late to pop the question already, huh?"

Peter raged at him but The Vulture flew in and tossed him against the wall. Carnage then took off with a screaming Mary Jane with The Lizard and The Vulture to follow.

Peter watched sadly as he looked outside to see that the three villains were nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, he had an idea and it involved Felicia Hardy and his Vulturess ego.
