The room was quiet not even 15 seconds and Johnny had already got on Ava's bad side ("only Johnny could pull that off")
Ava had made a point to lock her hand around Peter's as if telling Johnny this was a date and he needed to get lost, "come on buddy at least pretend to be happy to see me" Johnny laughed slapping Peter's arm.
Peter flashed a smile "I am happy to see you Johnny welcome home buddy" he replied, Ava's grip tightened on Peter's hand causing him to wince a little but Johnny got the message in his own way,
"Ohhh this is a date…." He took out his cell phone and pressed a single button "keera it's Johnny you free tonight…good see you 5" he hung up his phone and turned back to Peter "don't go anywhere I'll be back in 20 minutes" he said before leaving.
A low violent growl resonated from Ava as she glared at Peter "what are you mad me for?" he panicked
"He's your friend? He's a total jerk! I mean "fox" and the fact he just presses a button and tells a girl he's picking her up" Ava scoffed.
Peter sighed and shook his head "Ava I know he's a lot to handle on first impressions but Johnny isn't a bad guy….I mean he's not exactly a saint but he's not bad" he replied. That however didn't help his case Ava still seemed very hostile her hand tightened on his and it was starting to go numb.
"Peter this is a date as in you and me do not let your friend come back here and join us!" she snapped, this wasn't catty or playful banter Ava was pissed at him,
"ok, ok well go somewhere else" replied while trying to hide the fact he was in major pain, but thankfully Ava loosened her grip and Peter felt the blood flow into his hand again, he paid their bill and flagged a taxi doing his very best to try and keep on Ava's good side. "You know I don't get you, I thought you were all in favor of not judging by the cover and yet here we are with you not even giving Johnny a fair chance" he said slightly coldly to her.
Ava shot him a disapproving glare "Peter he's a jerk" she snapped,
"Yeah and when we first met you weren't exactly my biggest fan either, but you gave me a chance"
"That's that completely different Peter we were roped into a situation where I had no choice but to give you a chance…" Ava froze instantly she had heard what she just said and how hurtful it sounded, "Peter that sounded so much more worse than it was meant to" she pleaded catching the sting in his eyes,
"So because of convenience of circumstance we became what we are? Good to know" he snapped the cab came to a stop light and Peter stormed out of the cab leaving Ava to mentally kick herself. She knew she hurt him badly and over something as stupid as who he used to hang out with and worst of all she pretty much said there relationship was built from circumstance, it wasn't what she meant to say but it's what came out. The sky blackened and burst pouring rain in a hurricane down pour
"nice going Ayala you land the one decent guy in New York and you say something like that to him…when did the roles change he's supposed to be the stupid one" she moaned.
Peter walked for 6 city blocks he just couldn't wrap his head around it Ava of all people was being judgmental, "sure Johnny's not exactly a saint but he's my friend and she's not even willing to give him a chance and then there's what she said about us… "we were roped into a situation where I had no choice but to give you a chance" does she even really care about me or am I just the convenient rebound guy after her last date turned out to be a total scumbag" he miserably thought to himself. (Devil &Angel Spidey popped up on his shoulders, "hey now give Ava a chance to explain herself before you blow your top" Angel spidey said,
Devil spidey webbed his mouth shut "look you're just Ava's rebound guy and if she doesn't like your friends or really even care about you cut your losses and run you're Spider-man the Avenger think of the babes you could get with bragging rights like that" he said trying to coax Peter)
Peter brushed off his imaginings and kept walking despite the rain, his phone started ringing, he half expected to see Ava's face on his screen but instead saw Johnny's "what's up candle head?" he asked,
"Candle head so rich, keep it up I'll bust out the bug zapper, but down to business…what the hell man! You completely bailed on me and Keera only came because she thought it was a double date so now I'm dateless and flying around soho…Peter nobody wants to be in Soho not by choice at least" Johnny deadpanned.
Peter rolled his eyes "hey my nights not exactly great either so spare me the guilt trip" he snapped.
"Ouch she dumped you? Not really shocked dude she was a hard 10+ and you…you're a generous 6" Johnny laughed,
"She didn't dump me we just…had a disagreement and I walked out on her" Peter said starting to calm down.
A giant fire ball struck the ground in front of him before the fire settled and Johnny stood in front of him "you know these phones are great it's almost like were standing 5 feet from each other" he shot Peter a smile "I have to go Pete some guy is looking at me funny" he joked hanging up.
"Did you miss me?"
Peter chuckled to himself a bit "yeah like a tooth ache" he replied, "what are you up to Johnny?" he asked.
Johnny shrugged "I was supposed to have a date but that went south so now I'm on my way to mess Grimm want to come?"
Peter grinned and nodded messing with Ben Grimm was always fun especially when Johnny provoked him to the point where Ben trashed his cars or his bike "aren't I always?" he replied,
"That's my boy!" Johnny cheered thumping Peter on the back "to the Baxter building!" he proclaimed
"Don't ever do that again" Peter deadpanned.
Goblin had found solitude in an old Oscorp R&D warehouse where he and the newly formed Symbiote could remain hidden until he was ready to strike, the Symbiote was calling itself Chaos as in death and destruction but it rejected Goblin as its host. It wanted its first body the only one worthy of its powers…Chaos wanted Spider-man.
Goblin however wanted a son by his side and Harry was both weak and unworthy not to mention undeserving of Chaos, he wanted someone who was no son to him Goblin would bring Peter into his empire by any means and after carefully watching security feeds from city cameras and the schools he found his bargaining chip or rather chips.
He also saw another intriguing sight it was no more than a split second but he saw it…two Spider-men.
Ava took the cab back to May Parkers house but she couldn't find the nerve to go inside, she had said something terrible to Peter and knew it had cut him. She may not have meant to say it the way it sounded but it came out that way,
The rain poured down as Ava sat solemnly on the porch when a red head in a trench coat and umbrella walked up the stairs "Ava are you crazy sitting out here in this weather you'll catch your death" she said with genuine concern picking Ava up off the stone steps.
"Now is there a reason why you're out here? And look like you've been trying to fight back tears?" she asked as she rang the bell and walked in.
Ava wiped her eyes and sniffled "I said something terrible to Peter and he took off on me"
M.j flashed a smile "don't tell me in the heat of the moment you called him Ben by accident?" she laughed but quickly clamed up when she noticed Ava wasn't even smiling
"No that wouldn't be as bad… I pretty much told him the only reason we became friends let alone a couple was from convenience of circumstance being dropped in the same club at school I only knew a few people" Ava replied, Aunt May came down stairs in a bath robe and her hair wrapped in a towel.
"That's just heartless why would you say something like that?"
"I didn't mean it! That's just how it came and it all started because his friend Johnny the jerk showed up and spoiled our date!" Ava replied in a huff.
M.j snorted and a bit as she tried to repress a laugh "Johnny the jerk? 5'10 triangle haircut, green eyes cocky as a rooster?" she asked,
Ava nodded, "well Johnny the jerk sounds a lot like Johnny storm Mr. triple B he's a pain but not a bad guy you just have to get used to him" M.j replied, she knew Johnny and what he was like so she could somewhat understand why Ava got upset but not enough to get why she said what she said.
"Mr. Triple B?" Ava asked curiously,
"Johnny's guidelines of the good life is based on 3 B's Beamers, Babes and Bikes".
Aunt May returned to the den with hot chocolate and tea, she knew this discussion was an emotional one especially if it was about Peter & Johnny and Ava being here alone.
Peter and Johnny had arrived at the Baxter tower just as Corona Motors dropped of a new prototype engine "I forgot they were dropping that off today" Johnny sighed,
"New sponsors?" Peter asked wondering why Johnny was disheartened about a new prototype when he loved building new toys.
"yeah but most sponsors they give you the gear and as long as you wear a logo or some kind of advertisement they're happy….these dicks demand you advertise all the time" Johnny moaned "the engine is a prototype they sent as a trial see what feedback I give them" then Johnny smiled a crooked smile, he was up to something. "Hey Pete you still want a Spider mobile right?" he asked,
Peter's eyes lit up like stars "you mean it?" he cheered,
Johnny nodded "we'll build you one, I'll do the mechanical work and you design all the tech and weapons you want it to have"
(Chibi Spidey pulls a rolled up list marked "Spidey Mobile wants and want more" from behind his back and unrolls it the paper trail rolled along the floor of the lab to chibi human torches toes on the other side of the lab "ok we need ejector seats, spotlights, web traps, camouflage ability and wall crawling…oh, oh cup holders we must have cup holders god help you if you forget the cup holders!" chibi spidey threatened)
Peter rubbed his hands together eagerly "let's get to work!" he cheered
"Hey stone face order us some pizza will you!And seriously get some proper pants on because those shorts look like a freaking G-string on your gigantic ass!" Johnny shouted,
"JOHNNY!" Ben shouted from across the lab
("ah I do so love visiting the Baxter tower…it's never boring, watch I guarantee by the time that Pizza gets here Johnny's vipers going to be a crumpled beer can")
well isn't that a fine way to end a date?
the boys are building the Spider mobile, will Johnny's viper survive the night?
Goblin has a plan to ensnare Peter in his trap to bind him with chaos what is it and what are these bargaining chips? will it prevail?
and how long before Peter and Ava patch things up?
