Episode Twelve: Parker Family Drama
The Following Day
Peter heart was beating like crazy as he stormed into the medical bay of Chamberlains local psycho institute. "Excuse me young man you can't be in here..." a older nurse insisted as Carrie quickly made eye contact with her terrified cousin. "I'm family..." He replied with the nurse eventually noticing Aunt May standing outside the door. "Just be quick son." The nurse smiled carrying a blood sample of Ben towards the backroom. Aunt May and the Warden stood outside in the hallway giving the kids some time to talk. "So...you guys haven't...told anyone about Ben have you?" May said voicing concern.
"No Mrs Parker...the big guy gave us explicit instructions to keep the child to this institute until he gets a better handle on it..." The Warden explained with her arms behind her back. "I'm...the big guy?" May replied sounding confused. "The guy who owns this place...Tony Stark...bought this institute right after Carrie was found out of being pregnant..." The Warden explained with curious look on her face. "And He...Much Appreciates The Discretion." Tony called out with his usual swagger. "The Parker family are close friends of mine...I wanna serious thank you for keeping it under raps." Tony continued.
"Yeah but what the security teams that saw Ben use his...superpowers..." May said thinking that wasn't a sentence she ever here herself say. "Ha...Ben...that's, what your calling the little guy?" Tony said smiling at May's charm. "...I wouldn't worry about them...as far as their concerned Carrie just had a little glitch in her...leash...no need to tell them the whole story...the only people that know about Super-Ben are, you, me, Pete, Care, The Warden here and, my own personal team of doctors, and scientist here now...you can trust them Momma May." Tony explain with a smile on his face.
Peter sat beside Carrie's hospital bed not breaking their eye contact for one second. Carrie was holding a sleeping baby wrapped in a red blanket close to her chest, who Peter couldn't help but gaze at from time to time. "Your looking pretty thin...for a girl who just had a baby...whats your secret?" Peter said as Carrie rolled her eyes bringing her attention back to her son. "Got your bandages off I see...COME ON CARRIE TALK TO ME!" Peter screamed letting his emotions get the better of him. "Don't Yell In Front Of Ben!" Carrie demanded kissing her sons forehead.
"...Ben...you named him Ben..." Peter said smiling at the small body wrapped red. "Lets get one thing clear Parker...you are not the father of this child..." Carrie decided wrapping her horribly burned arms around little Ben's body. "Well...I kinda am though..." Peter replied, not allowing himself to surrender to his cousin anymore, not now that he has a son to look out for. "I can't trust you not to turn your back on him...like you did me, Spidey." Carrie said with both anger and slight fear in her eyes.
"Mr Stark...there's something I have to show you it's...regarding the child..." A young scientist asked as Tony quickly responded racing towards this mysterious backroom. "Wait can-can I come?" May asked sounding worried. "No-no it's fine May, it's just stuff involving legal mambo jumbo...don't it'll only take one second." Tony smiled closing the door behind him. Tony and his scientist friend headed towards a nearby microscope, Tony noticing the young mans expressions. "What do you got?"
Tony said as he looked through microscope. "I-I don't know ah...this DNA structure...it's, it's not like anything if seen...in a human..." the nervous young man replied rubbing his hands. "Sir...I-I don't know how...but...this baby...somehow has...arachnid DNA in his system...augmented, irradiated DNA..." Tony smiled at his employee noticing the sweat on his brow. "Take it easy kid...Believe it or not that's not the weirdest thing I've ever seen." Tony said with a giggle in his voice. "A human newborn with spider like genetics...is not the weirdest thing you've ever seen?"
Peter and Carrie sat in silence until Tony and his team eventually reappeared beside them. "So...whats going on?" Peter asked Tony, getting back to his feet, away from Carrie. "...Well we did a few test and...well he's a special little boy certainly...so...unfortunately we can't let a civilian family take him home." Tony explained, "Excuse me?" Aunt May replied with a raised voice. "You can't take em' and so...it would be best if he came with me...to the tower..." Tony said winking at the confused Parker's.
"No-you...you'r not taking my son..." Carrie shrieked holding Ben tight. "Carrie...you can come visit the tower anytime you want...just don't blow it up again...Rhodey's been scared enough." Tony assured her pinching Ben's nose. "NO-NO HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU!" Carrie demanded making her son squeal and cry. "Pete your pretty strong can you ah?" Tony suggested noticing the pain Peters face. "Stay away from me Parker-STAY AWAY ME!"
Peter hesitantly overpowered his cousin, graving hold of his son as Carrie began to freak out like she never had before. The nurses and others doctors held her down while she screamed as load as she could. "GIVE ME WHY SON-GET OFF ME-GET OFF ME-GIVE ME MY SON BACK-PETER...PLEASE-NO-PLEASE-AUNT MAY!" Carrie begged crying and sobbing while Peter, Tony, and May step out into the hall, away from her screaming.
Later That Day
Peter and Tony said their goodbyes to Aunt May while Ben giggled and played on the carpet in Tony's office. "So listen Pete...there's...something you have to know about...Ben." Tony said putting his arm on Peters shoulder. "We did a blood test and...well...lets just say Telekinesis is not all he got from a dip in the gene pool..." Tony finished watching Ben like a hawk. "What do you mean?" Peter asked just before the two friends were surprised with a large banging noise just above them. Ben was now crawling against the ceiling in the way of a spider. Peter was a little shocked but, he quickly calmed himself down, not wanting to panic.
"Oh god I didn't think that..." Peter said before Tony decided to cut in, like he dose. "You didn't think your abilities could be...pass on, yeah...well they did...congratulations...you have a...telekinetic spider baby." Tony joked nudging Peters arm. "Poor little guy...I can already see his full life story right now...complicated...is the headline." Peter said smiling at his happy looking son. "We can take care of him here Pete...but you have to know...I can't let you take Ben home with you...The Headquarters would be a...peaceful place to grow up...but I don't know if that's such a good idea right now-what with are little civil war a little while ago." Tony said as Peter grew more and more impatient.
"Peter we can...I can let you...take him home for visits, not allowed to do that but there you go...you have to understand if my team...if those doctors knew that I allowed you guys to take Ben home, they would bring a lot of, powerful people into the fold...and Ben's life will become...a whole lot more complicated." Tony explained more, playing with his phone. "Not to mention it wouldn't be good for sixteen year old Peter Parker if people knew he had a son." Tony finished hoping Pete would understand.
"I won't leave him hanging Tony...I will be a father to him..." Peter promised making Tony grow a proud smile, "We need to sort out his birth certificate don't we...Pete I already had this talk with your Aunt...and it was about as hard as this one but...you understand I have...I have to be this kids legal parent right?" Tony asked hoping for Peter's acceptance. "...Just as long as it says Ben Parker Jr on his birth certificate, and as long as you don't let me become a dead beat dad, I'm cool with that." Peter replied taking a long deep breath.
Tony smiled and at his young friend, Peter was a good kid, and at that moment Tony was so proud to apart this young man's life. "Your gonna be a good dad Pete...and believe in you." Tony said giving Peter a slight boost of confidence. "I-I don't, know really were to begin though..." Peter admitted with arms crossed, trying to hide his shaking hands. Tony stood back up putting his arm over Peters shoulder, "...I don't know either kid...but will get through this...you, me and Aunt May..." Tony said looking up at Ben, still jumping across the ceiling. "What about Carrie?" Peter asked with fear in his voice.
"...We'll get through it Pete...we'll all get through this..."
Meanwhile
Carrie was forcefully tossed into a padded cell, kicking and screaming like a mad women. "PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE!" Carrie sobbingly begged rushing to the door before it was slammed shut in her face. "PLEASE, PLEASE...I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE, LET ME SEE MY SON, PLEASE!" Carrie went on like this for hours and hours. She banged and scratched at the door, desperately wanting to get out. "Please...Please let me out...please..." Carrie eventually gave up, tiring herself out.
Carrie was crying uncontrollably on the floor, crawled into a ball. She continued to cave in to herself until suddenly, the door again swung open before her. Dead guards and doctors were spilled out across there halls. "Hello?" Carrie called out as she began to hear footsteps around her. "Hello Carrie." A familiar voice said with a friendly yet sinister sounding tone. That voice, she knew that voice, how could she forget that voice.
"...You..." Carrie said in disbelief, "Nice To See You Again, Rage." Chris Hargensen replied with a chilling smile. It was like seeing a ghost, she was dressed in all black leather, with plated armor and a fashionable looking drench coat with attached gloves. She looked strange, but that didn't matter right now, Chris Hargensen was gone, dead and buried, "Who are you?" Carrie demanded to know. "...It's me Carrie...it's Chris, ain't you happy to see me baby?"
Carrie got back to her feet storming past this Chris person. "Why did you help me?" Carrie asked trying to break off her steel leash. "It's not just you I'm helping...there are others on our list..." Chris said with Carrie turning her back. "Who's List?" Carrie asked trying her best not to strangle her right then and there. Carrie was about to open her mouth to speak before she sudden was struck across the head with what felt like a steel baton, knocking her out almost instantly.
"The Guy Who Wants To Spread The Chaos."
Carrie vision went white, and her ears started ringing, voices in her head, and the world around her was becoming more and more clear by the second. The fuzzy sound soon turned into something more understandable as Carrie slowly regained consciousness. "Wake up Carrie...we have a lot to talk about." A voice called out as Carrie finally returned to her awakened state. She was tied to a standing stretcher, in a perfect line with two other confused patients straight from the nut house. "Where am I?"
"Ohh-your in paradise Teen Mom, you just don't know it yet..." C.K taunted with crazy smile. "Hush now C.K..." Another voice said startling the already jumping young man. "Who are you?" Carrie asked to weak to yell. "My name, Miss White, is Dmitri...pleasure to meet you..." The strange man replied, Carrie was amazed at all the crazy in one room, C.K, another nut house girl who constantly calls herself an alien, and now a man who wears an iron mask like it's Halloween.
"Allow me to be the first to welcome you back to New York, so of you are visiting for the first time in fact, you'r welcome." Dmitri said with what Carrie could guess was a smug smile under that metallic mask.
"Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, now that we're all here, let's get down to business, and that business, I'm sure you all will appreciate, Chaos is Coming Boys and Girls, Chaos is Coming..."
