Chapter 10: It Begins

The Scorpion stands tall with bricks being held in his tail. It uses its tail and tosses rubble off of a growling Venom. Carnage is in a fit hitting the sides of the broken down brick building with its claws. Venom picks ups the few rocks left on him and throws them away.

Scorpion and Venom lock eyes and Venom says, "He was here. I can smell him and his offspring. They were both here. We need to feast on him and his daughter."

Carnage tackles Venom on the ground and uses its red claws to cut through the symbiote revealing the dead body of Daemos being held in place. Scorpion pats Carnage telling it to get off Venom, "It is okay child. We will let you have the daughter."

Venom's goes crazy as he begins to sniff and he swings off. Scorpion sees the hospital of heroes and knows this is where they will find the spider.

Miguel O'Hara doesn't understand the Parker's. Last time he saw them Mary Jane had a big baby bump and now she has a teenager and a baby boy, who is in his hands at the moment.

Mary Jane looks at him with curiosity, "The last time I saw you, you were holding my daughter as a baby and now you are holding my son, but because of timeline stuff, you haven't held my daughter yet and you meet my son before I do."

Miguel looks confused, "Mary Jane, it is best not to think about it." He rocks Ben. "Even though it is really weird."

Mary Jane is flustered. The last time she saw this man, he told her something that has been on her mind since, "Miguel?"

"Yeah?" He asks perplexed by the way she said his name.

"Do you know what is about to happen with us? Do you know what will happen with May? With Ben? With Peter and I?"

He takes a moment then answers, "Yes…"

"Is it something good?"

He stops rocking Ben and hands him to Mary Jane, "That depends on Peter."

"What does he need to do?" Mary Jane asks holding her only son tightly.

Miguel breathes in and out and then gives the answer that Mary Jane didn't want, "He needs to let his daughter go."

"How?"

"You won't like it…"

Miles Morales sits in his bed holding the red and black suit made for the daughter of a man he admires more than his own father. Madame Web may always be a barer of bad news, but she is generally correct, in some way. Mayday Parker will be fighting in this suit and Peter will be dead and all he can do is sit, missing his leg, powers, and his will to fight.

Miles hears loud crashes and sees his window turn to rubble. His heart races as he sees the black goo beast known as Venom. Carnage follows behind and they look at Miles and in his heart Miles wants to fight. Guards rush in and Carnage easily uses its red goo to turn into spears and impales them.

Miles yells at them to let them go and Carnage throws them out the window. Venom goes over to Miles who is now punching him with the little strength he has left and jumps out the window and webs up to the roof where the Scorpion is standing.

Venom sets him down in a chair and webs him to it.

Miles yells, "Why are you doing this to me!"

Scorpion replies, "This isn't about you false spider. It is about the other. We had no wish to harm you, but if we needed to, to get the other spider we would. Venom hungered and you were easy picking for him."

Carnage touches Miles face with its claw like fingers. Miles moves around trying to escape.

Carnage whispers in Miles ear, "He cut your web… All he does is fail. And now you will die because he is nothing but a failure. He will come soon and we will kill him."

"You are going to lose" Miles says confidently.

Carnage laughs and then whispers in his ear, "No. We won't. I know him. He will not be able to even look at me and then I will drive my fist through his heart, But right before that. I will make his daughter pay for his mistakes. Then anyone he loves. All spiders must die. You are lucky he ruined you. You can live."

"Go to hell" Miles spits.

"We know about death. Venom is an alien on a dead inheritor. And the rest of us. Wait and see false spider. Wait and see."

Scorpion strokes Carnage's head and then he heads over to a small laptop he has on the floor of the roof. He starts to type and then points the back of it at Miles, "Smile Wrong Spider-Man. The people are watching!"

Peter and May are walking down the street at a brisk pace. May notices her father stops as she bumps into him.

She sees his hands ball into fists and looks where he was looking. She sees a young man with a red blade at his throat, a board near his one foot, the other one missing but the stump covered in bandages. She realizes this must be Miles Morales for many reasons but the prime reason being the board reads, "False Spider".

Peter grabs her hand and they start sprinting home. Peter and May enter their home and Peter runs downstairs as May, Miguel, and Mary Jane follow him.

Peter puts his hand on the scanner to his console. Everyone in the room knows what is about to happen.

Peter opens his mouth, "Miguel take Mary Jane, Ben, and May and get as far away as possible. Then call the Fantastic Four Hotline and say "Johnny Storm wets the bed". It will redirect you to a private line. They will take you somewhere safe."

The case opens and Peter sheds his clothes. The red and blue suit shines into his soul. The body cover goes on first as the red and blue hold him tight. The boots fit so snug. The web-shooters filled and ready. The belt, packed full of tracers, cartridges, and the spider-light up front. The gloves fit as a second skin. One last item. Peter kissed Ben on the forehead, then hugs May tightly and kisses her on the forehead as well. Mary Jane gives Ben to May and her and Peter embrace in a passionate kiss. They both don't ever want to let go but they have to.

Peter holds his mask in his hands and can feel his end. He puts it on and his family look at him and he says simply, "My turn."
