hey everyone sorry for the late update but hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Peter was laying on the couch half asleep as a result from his encounter with the woman in the sewers but unfortunately his day was far from over. A new problem had arose, M.j had somehow adapted spider powers. He rolled over into the couch closing his eyes gently sliding into the brink of sleep when ruckus upstairs brought him to full alert. "What the hell?" he gasped.
Peter sat up just as Johnny came crashing down the stairs slamming against the wall of the landing cracking the drywall with a heavy indent "awe jeez that hurt" he groaned "oh hey Pete how was the interview?" he asked trying to stand up right "ow. Ow watch it buddy she's in a mood"
Peter got off the couch and went over to help Johnny up "what do you mean a mood?" he asked with raised eyebrows trying to hide his impending chuckle at the fact that Johnny was running from Jessica.
"Right you've been away for a few months, well Jess has these days where she gets either really moody or insecure and starts lashing out…today she's just violent. I mean she threw me down stairs head first because I said I liked the black dress instead of the blue" he started squeezing the base of his neck "freaking hurt to"
"You said the blue made me look fat!" Jessica yelled from her room upstairs.
"I said the black was more flattering there's a difference!" Johnny yelled back "see she violently over reacts"
"You know there really isn't, they sound different, but to a women they mean the same thing" Peter told him.
"You know it's pretty bad when Peter has to give woman advice!" Jessica yelled down the stairs which was soon followed by a hair dryer which Johnny narrowly dodged by diving from the landing down to the floor.
"Is it over?" Johnny asked pushing up off the floor the wall was broken where he crashed into and the hair dryer was in pieces "so who cleans that up?"
Peter rolled his eyes sighed an annoyed sigh. Even his home life was getting to be a bit outta control. Deciding to deal with one crazy at a time Peter went next door to see condition for himself it was a just a quick jump of a fence to front porch and rang the doorbell. mom was the one to open the door with her usual warm smile "Peter Parker haven't seen you on my door step for a while, come on in M.J and your cousin are upstairs" she said holding the door open and waving Peter inside.
Peter made his way upstairs not sure of what to expect when he reached room. The door was slightly open which he took to mean they weren't needing strict privacy but what he saw blew his webbed mind.
M.J was dancing on the roof and carrying on like a humming bird on crack "Peter! Hey isn't this awesome! I mean I'm dancing on the roof!" she laughed.
Peter just watched with a vacant stare she really had adapted his powers and acted like him when he first discovered them only instead of swinging through the city she was dancing on her roof. Speechless and completely off guard Peter just watched her "yeah…I've got my hands full with this one"
Meanwhile elsewhere in another dimension where small floating landmasses circled a large sculpted throne the sorcerer Mordo was knelt before a massive demonic fire monster. The demon looked down on Mordo with a pondering stare his minion had delivered some intriguing news to him, his vessel was finally found and now they were divulging ways to corrupt Spider-man into willingly accepting Dormammu's spirit. "You're sure of this Mordo?" Dormammu asked.
Mordo nodded he saw into Spider-man's mind, briefly but enough to find a vulnerability to manipulate even without his magic "yes my lord I am sure, the bastard dog would be our best method. His powers of manipulating pheromones would have a far more believable effect than magic would" he said. Dormammu continued to ponder on his minions plan weighing the success and failure of it.
"Very well, go forth and bring me the bastard dog" Dormammu ordered his servant. Mordo opened a portal giving a glimpse of a small village on a mountain. He stepped through and into a sun parched field it was as if he stood in training camp for mutant mercenaries everywhere he looked there was a fight going on but he was only in search of one.
A young man with a Mohawk and a tattoo reaching from his eye down his body with 3 bone looking claws reaching from his hand similar to Laura's two curved from his knuckles but the third reached out from the underside of his wrist. He was fighting a group of men and women all with various abilities and he was dropping his opponents with animal like ferocity not even breaking a sweat as the final one was thrown backwards head over heal crashing into a small hut causing it to collapse on him.
Mordo approached the man he looked relatively young by mortal years he looked no older than 25, Mordo took another step closer and the man whipped around grabbing Mordo by the throat and slamming him to the ground with his claws pressed against his jugular vein "I smelled you the minute you set foot on the ground! I don't know how you found this place but you've 5 seconds to explain yourself before I take your head off!" he growled violently pressing his claws harder against Mordo's throat.
"Wolverine" Mordo calmly stated watching as the man's eyes hardened over into a murderous glare and felt his fingers tighten around his wind pipe.
"Don't mention that murderer to me!" he ordered.
"My master has use of you, help him and he'll give you the final tools you need to destroy the man who murdered your mother in cold blood and abandoned you to be raised by a cold hearted women who didn't love you and a house full of servants who dubbed you the bastard dog…. Daken" Mordo told him with no waiver in his voice, he knew Daken was no danger to a sorcerer of his calibre but he also knew Dakens drive for revenge against his blood father would convince him to do as Dormammu ordered. And as he planned Dakens grip loosened and his claws retracted a bit "you serve one mission for my master and you will be rewarded with the tools you need. A metal as strong as adamantium but with a rare side effect…the wounds will not heal very quickly even with his healing factor you can hurt him enough to kill him"
Daken released Mordo and retracted his claws completely a sinister smile on his face "so who do I have to kill?" he deviously asked earning a sly smile from Mordo.
"We don't need you to kill, we need another specialty of yours" Mordo replied.
Meanwhile back in New York things were not so calm and collective as Peter and Ben tried to explain the rules to Mary Jane and they were not doing so well.
"What do you mean I can't be a part of the team?" M.J yelled in protest as a very thick text book sailed from her hand clear across the room as Peter and Ben ducked "I've seen you both in action I can do what you and others do!"
"M.J! it's not that we doubt you but we still don't know how you attained your powers so were unsure of what could be happening to you for all we know you could be exposed to radiation poisoning and even if there are no side effects new recruits get sent to the triskilion for hero training" Ben replied in rushed tone trying to coax M.J into a calmer state proving to be unsuccessful in his endeavour.
"Parker luck at its finest with difficult strong willed women"
"I sat on the sidelines while you both were killed helpless to do anything! I can help you now so let me, teach me what you can, I'm a quick learner" she demanded turning from Ben to Peter and turning her puppy dog eyes on full "Peter, we've been friends forever we've helped each other through some of our worst times….please let me do this" M.J pleaded. The room went silent like a graveyard Peter squeezed the bridge of his nose in frustration he knew Mary Jane to well to know that she'd would just accept the help at the triskilion and no matter what she would do anything she could to join them but he refused to risk her safety, she was inexperienced and untrained.
"Well?" M.J prodded.
Before Peter could respond his phone sounded off breaking the uneasy tension he quickly withdrew his phone from his pocket only to find Sam's face lighting up his screen "right now dealing with Sam seems better…how bad is that?"
"Hey Sam what's up?" Peter asked.
"Parker are you near a TV? If not get to one now, there's something screwy going on at Manhattan!" Sam yelled through the line.
Recognising his vocal intensity Peter scooped up the remote from bedside table and turned to the nearest news station where he saw Manhattan general under federal quarantine with hazmat teams running around in the background and the reporter he recognised as Wendy Cho in a hazmat suit "…this is the most unusual case medical professionals have ever seen patients across the island are being brought to the nearest medical centres with stories of web like strands flowing from the wrists others have been reported of a super enhanced clinging ability best opinions are classifying this as Spider-man's powers. While medical scientist are baffled by the mystery of this outbreak they are trying to attempt to synthesize a cure but the bigger mystery is, where is Spider-man during all of this? And is he somehow accountable for this outbreak?" she asked as more hazmat crews rushed past her. "72 cases of the newly named arachnid infection have been reported within 48 hours the state medical chief has declared Manhattan island in a state of emergency shutdown all air and local traffic has been cut off Manhattan is under federal quarantine" Peter turned the TV off and stood mortified by what he had seen it wasn't just M.j now all of Manhattan was infected with his powers and the possibility of him being blamed.
"What the hell is going on?" Ben asked in disbelief
"If the whole island is under quarantine…am I going to die?" M.J cried.
"Not if we can help it" Ben assured her "Peter there's no way this is a coincidence somebody…somebody manufactured that virus"
"How could somebody manufacture a virus? From your blood and give people your powers?" M.J asked. Her question sparked something between the brothers as they exchanged worried looks. That was the million dollar question today. M.J ran into her closet and emerged in one of peter's old spider-man shirts that she stitched up and blue tights with Ben's scarlet spider-mask in her hand "this looks like a good way to break in the velvet spider!" she boasted.
"No way absolutely not!" the spider brothers chorused in protest.
M.J crossed arms shooting them both a strict stern stare as if she were daring them to try and stop her Peter bit down on his bottom lip he refused to risk M.J's safety but he needed to get to Manhattan and the clock was ticking "fine! But you stay close and you do what Ben says so if he tells you to get away you don't argue you don't undermine the order you run got it?" he ordered.
M.J gave a playful mocking salute "yes sir" she mocked Peter turned to the window jumped back over to aunt Mays house leaving Ben in mid change with M.J "I think Ava's rubbing off on him a little too much" she told him.
Ben dawned his hoodie and mask ready to start swinging off "think you got that backwards babe" he replied taking arm and guiding her through the web slinging pose before velvet Spider-woman swung off with Scarlet on her heels. Spider-man shortly joined them.
Every bridge and tunnel way to the island was sealed off by national guard trucks and hazmat units and helicopters patrolling the air and Jameson screaming his usual slanderous accusations "to the people of our fine city I will not say I told you so but however this arachnid infection has done it for me! Spider-man has clearly planned this for quiet sometime earning your trust only to turn us all into freaks like him! He's cultivating his own freak show on the island of Manhattan, his own Spider Island!" J.J yelled.
The teen's heroes all joined together on a rooftop and watched as people began climbing from windows some had mutated with various stages some had multiple limbs others were extremely hairy and crazed behaviour. The island was being overrun.
"What the hell is going on?" Nova asked.
the Arachnid infection has begun, and Manhattan is under federal quarantine.
M.J has asserted herself onto the team as the velvet Spider woman (name still pending)
Mordo has recruited Daken the bastard dog with the promise off revenge against his father...Wolverine what will Daken do to assist Dormammu in corrupting Spider-man?
and how will the team deal with the growing numbers of spider mutants and how is the virus spreading so quickly?
