Peter rushed down to the emergency room and began to feel better as he locked eyes with Gwen. She immediately jumped up and ran into his arms.

"Gwen! What happened?! What's wrong?" he asked. He pulled away so he could see if she had any injuries. All he could see were a few minor cuts on her arms.

"I can't explain it here," Gwen said.

"I don't understand."

"We need to find somewhere alone."

"Alright, but then you need treatment."

Peter walked over to the doctor who had been trying to tend to Gwen.

"She wants to talk to me for a moment, then she said she'll let you treat her. We won't leave the building, we just need some space."

"Alright, first door on the left down the hall. It's a conference room. Feel free to use it."


They made their way down the hall and quietly entered the conference room. Peter pulled out a chair for Gwen and sat facing her. He reached out and held her hands.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Well..."

"Yes I'll that's a large pepperoni and cheese," Mj said into her cellphone.

Gwen came out of the bathroom wearing fuzzy pink pajama pants and one of Peter's t-shirts. She sat across from her friend and began to eat some popcorn she had previously made. They were sleeping in her and Peter's room. They had made popcorn and bought candy, and were about to watch an old horror film on Gwen's laptop.

MJ hung up the phone. "Pizza will be here in 20 minutes. Want to start the movie?"

"Sure!" Gwen said. She opened her laptop and pressed play before climbing into bed. She and Mj were stretched out with the popcorn between them.

The movie had just begun when Mj spoke up. "Did you hear that?"

"It's just the house creaking it's fine," Gwen said. She shrugged.

"Maybe you're right," Mj said.

A few minutes later Mj spoke up again. "I really think I heard something."

"Mj that's rediculous. You're just-" she was interrupted as she heard a thud. "I'm going to check it out," Gwen said.

"Alright. I'm just going to hide here under the covers and try not to die."

"Thanks. That's encouraging."

Gwen crept down the hall and heard nothing for a few seconds. Suddenly she heard the noise again. Relief fell over her as she sense what it was.

"Mj! It's the pizza!"

"I'm coming! Let him in, I'll get the money."

Gwen made her way down the stairs and reached for the door. Fear hit her as she opened the door and saw Venom standing there. She slammed the door shut and scream at Mj. "MJ RUN! IT'S NOT THE PIZZA!"

"Why what is it?" Mj asked as the door was pushed down.

"RUN!" Gwen screamed.

The two began to run, but Venom was faster. He grabbed a hold of Mj's leg and she fell to the ground.

Gwen stopped in the tracks. "Let her go," she said.

"You're baby is next," Venom replied.

In that moment Gwen's protective instincts took over. No one would touch her baby. No one would ever dare come near anyone she loved. She began to feel energy surging through her body from her toes to her hands. She through her hands up before he could take another step and massive blasts came out of her palms. Venom was sent off of his feet through the broken door way and into the street. Mj looked at Gwen with a thousand questions before passing out. Gwen pulled out her phone and called 911.

"911. What's your emergency?"

Gwen thought for a moment as she made eye contact with Venom in the street. "Someone has broken into my house and attacked my best friend and I. I have minor scrapes but she's unconscious. I'm suspecting broken ribs and shock."

"An ambulance is on it's way. Stay on the line with me."

Venom took a step towards the house as Gwen stood over Mj and held her hands up again. Venom fled but Gwen knew that he would be back. "How will I explain this to Peter," she thought as she knelt down to check on Mj. She sighed in relief as she found Mj breathing. She decided that she would roll her onto her side and leave her in that position in case ribs were broken. Gwen looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath. Suddenly something caught her eye. Peter had cameras installed all around the house so he could protect it. Gwen ran up the stairs and grabbed her cell phone. She quickly sent the footage from the computer to her phone. She hurried back down the stairs to Mj as she sensed the ambulance coming down the street.


"I should have been there," Peter said, as he stared off dazed.

"It's not your fault you couldn't have forseen-"

"Yes it is. Your my family. You're carrying our baby. You protect the baby and I protect both of you."

"I think I did a pretty good job!" Gwen snapped.

"You're right, I just feel like I'm not doing as good a job," Peter said.

"You are doing an amazing job. I feel so loved and safe. Our baby does too," Gwen said, as she looked into Peter's eyes.

"Do you?" he asked.

"Mhm, baby's kicking like crazy. It hurts a little sometimes," Gwen said. She laughed and took Peters' hand. She placed it over her stomach where the baby had just kicked.

"I don't feel anything," Peter said.

"Just talk. He loves your voice," Gwen said.

Peter looked at her skeptically before looking down at his hand. "Hi baby. It's your Daddy. I love you and your Mom more than you could ever know."

Gwen was about to ask Peter if he felt anything when he looked up at her and was beaming.

"That's amazing," Peter said, breathless.

"Isn't it?" Gwen said. She smiled back before turning serious again. "I have a video. I took it from your cameras in the house. It caught the attack," she began.

"I'm not sure I want to see that," Peter said grimly.

"I think you do," Gwen said. "I did something that I don't understand." She quickly pressed play and showed Peter the video.

His heart sank as he saw Mj run as Gwen screamed. His eyes widened as he saw her blast energy toward Venom sending him into the street. He stopped the video. "That's... that's..." he said speechless.

"I felt the same way."

"I'll run over the footage at home. I want to find out as much about Venom as I can. We should move out until I can catch him. I have no doubt that you can protect yourself, but what could happen to Aunt May?"

"What could happen if I'm not there to protect her Peter?"

"We'll have to think about it," he said, with a thousand possibilities running through his mind. "For now, we need to check on Mj and let that doctor check up on you before he freaks out."

Gwen nodded as Peter stood. "Can you help me up?" she asked as she held a hand out to him.

Peter laughed. "Oh so you can fight crime but you can't get out of a chair?"

"PETER PARKER!" Gwen yelled trying to be stern but ended up laughing. "Yes. I may have powers but my back hurts, my ankles are swollen, and I constantly have to pee."

"I'm so glad I'm not a male," Peter said. He reached out a hand to help her up. and the two of them walked hand-in-hand back to the emergency room as they both tried to figure out what they would do about Venom, and how they would explain it all to Mi.
