Chapter 50: Venom, Part 2
Mary Jane grunted as she lifted a large shipping container over her head.
"28 tons? Seriously?" Peter asked upon seeing Gwen's computer model.
"Getting jealous, are we?"
"Not that…I mean-"
"Pete, methinks I sense the green-eyed monster in you." Ben snarked.
Peter gave Ben a dirty look before walking out of the warehouse
"So, what's his problem?" Ben asked.
"Performance issues." Gwen replied.
"Uh, he doesn't have that kind of performance issues." Mary Jane piped up.
Gwen stared daggers at Mary Jane.
"Why'd she luck out on the strength deal?" Peter mumbled as he wandered through a back alley.
As he wandered, he tripped and fell into a puddle of black liquid.
"Old Parker luck again…" he muttered as he hoisted himself back up and began walking home.
Yes. We have found our host. He will do perfectly, yes…
Later that night, Peter tossed and turned in his sleep.
"No…get away from me…"
Suddenly, Mary Jane bolted awake, no longer sensing Peter's connection to her.
"This can't be good…"
Just then, Peter shot out of bed, opened the window, and flew out as Mary Jane opened the door. In the split-second before he vanished, Mary Jane could swear that Peter's suit was now jet black…
"NYPD! Put your hands where we can see them!"
Black Cat swore from behind an air conditioning unit on the roof of Stark Tower as police sirens filled the air.
"Why does it always have to be me who bungles the job?"
Just then, she heard a familiar sound landing on the roof.
"Oh great, it's you again." Black Cat deadpanned, taking care to notice Spider-Man's new suit.
"Guess you can't break an old cat's habits, right?"
"So, what brings you here?"
"Cat, shut up and kiss me already."
Black Cat tilted her head in confusion.
"What? You've tried before, so why not finish the job?"
Black Cat grinned as she fell on top of Peter and undid her outfit.ß
