A/N - Hello guys I hope you have all been well. I apologize for the long wait between chapters but the things I want to do with this story really need time to think about and I also second guess myself a lot when deciding what to do. I have decided that the final battle is coming faster than you think, act 3 is something special and I hope you will all enjoy it. Without further delay, let's rejoin our heroes as they try and come up with a plan to get Peter back.
Captain Stacy watched all of the confrontation unfold in front of him. He was shocked, not only did he now know Spider-Man's identity but he was more worried about Spider-Man making it out alive. He revealed himself to the others who were still stuck to the wall, causing them to freeze, their eyes wide in shock.
Captain Stacy quickly lowered his weapon to show that he was not there to cause harm to them. He looked around the house and found the kitchen. He walked around the kitchen until he found what he was looking for, a knife. He grabbed the knife and walked over towards the two stuck to the wall and started to cut them loose. It took a couple of minutes but eventually, he got them both off the wall and the black cat fell into his arms and started to sob uncontrollably. The captain tried his best to comfort the woman, while he looked over at the other Spider-Man. The younger man just nodded at him and started to pace around the room, trying to come up with a plan most likely.
"How much did you see?" The black cat asked as she stared up at him with tears running down her pale cheeks.
"I saw the whole thing. I know who Spider-Man is, I also know what that thing is. " The Captain replied
Felicia stared up at the captain but the captain spoke before she could say anything. "Don't worry, I won't give away Spider-Man's secret, I know you are the black cat as well, Felicia Hardy. Both your secrets are safe with me. "
Felicia clung to him harder, still not over the fact that Peter was taken right from their house. She sniffed a few times before standing up again and picking up her phone. The captain watched as she clicked on contacts on her phone.
"Who are you calling, Miss Hardy?" Captain George Stacy asked.
"Our friend MJ, she needs to know what happened to Pete." Felicia put the phone to her ear, MJ picked up after the 2nd ring.
"Felicia? Hi, are you okay?" MJ said over the line.
"No MJ I am not okay." Felicia's hand started to shake as she tried to continue but her voice kept on breaking. "MJ Peter was taken away by Harry, he got beat up pretty badly again "
"What?! When did this happen!" Everyone heard MJ yell across the line.
"About 15 minutes ago, Can you come over? I could really use your help to get him back " Felicia was in tears again.
"Yes, of course, I am on my way " Felicia hung up the phone and fell back onto the couch, and placed her face into her hands, letting all of her emotions loose, not caring who was watching her.
Felicia felt the couch shift next to her and felt a hand lay on her shoulder. She looked up and saw that Miles was there, his lenses were squinting slightly.
"I think I have an idea on how we can beat this thing. " Said MIles with confidence in his voice. The mention of an idea caught George Stacy's attention as he walked closer to them.
"What's your idea kid?" asked the Police Captain.
"It's actually two ideas but anyway we know Harry's other form is weak to electricity right? We know we can use that to our advantage, it's how I helped Pete last time. " The Captain and Felicia both nodded.
"What's the other idea?" Asked Felicia hopefully.
"Well that night in Queens when Harry was about to kill me, the cops showed up and the thing covering his body started to go crazy and scream in pain. What if the sound of all of those police sirens was the weakness.." Miles waited for the other two to catch on.
"So you are saying that sound is his other weakness. Now we need to find out wherever he has taken Spider-Man. "
All of them jumped slightly when they heard a door slam and MJ came charging into the living room. "I think you guys need to see something " MJ took the TV remote and turned on a news channel. The news showed a woman who looked worse for wear as she was holding her microphone and talking about the capture of Spider-Man.
"Ladies and gentlemen breaking news from Ravencroft Institute, where we have learned that the creature that has been terrorizing New York for weeks has a message to deliver relating to the capture of Spider-Man. "
The camera changed to the huge figure of Venom standing in front of a cell in Ravencroft. Venom stepped out of the way of cell and the light flickered on to reveal a man with a bag over his head, he wasn't wearing a shirt, which allowed the viewers to see all the bruises and cuts on his body. The man was tied to a chair with black tendrils and he couldn't escape.
Felicia's mouth fell open when she saw Peter was tied up, luckily Harry hadn't revealed his identity but you never knew with this monster. Venom walked around Peter tied to the chair and gave Peter a punch to the face almost knocking the bag off his face. He turned to the camera with a sadistic toothy grin and started to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen of New York I would like to welcome you to a little show I call Kill The Spider, the rules are simple folks, the Spider must die no matter what. " Venom stopped talking when Peter groaned.
"Ah, the Spider decided to make a noise. Clearly, he isn't dead yet. Now you are probably wondering why I have his face covered. Well, folks let me be honest with you, none of you pieces of shit deserve to know his identity... not yet anyway. I must say I was surprised I was able to get Spider-Man to be on my show, I thought he would say no but turns out he was so excited that he knocked himself out and I had to bring him here for all of you to witness his destruction.
Felicia paced the length of her living room as they all continued to watch.
"Oh, are you wondering why I chose the beautiful Ravencroft Institute for filming this momentous show? Well, I thought it would only be fair considering Spider-Man put most of my live studio audience behind these very bars. Why don't we meet one of our audience right now? You " Venom pointed to a man in the crowd who quickly jumped up from his seat and walked into frame. "Welcome to Kill The Spider, what is your name?"
The man was redheaded and his hair was out of control, the man spoke with a sick grin on his face. "Cletus Kasady" Cletus stared at the symbiote of Venom's body, licking his lips in the process. The Symbiote reacted and reached out slightly before Venom stepped back.
"Wow looks like my friend likes you." Said Venom with a slight smirk. "So how did you get locked up in here?"
"Spider-Man caught me after I killed a family of four. Threw me in here, I can assure you Mr..?" Cletus replied with a crazy respect
"Venom" Venom replied simply.
"Venom, I can assure you I am not crazy, just a little misunderstood. " Cletus finished his sentence and stared at Spider-Man.
"Well, Cletus is there anything you would like to say to Spider-Man?" Venom asked and gestured towards Spider-Man who was groggily watching this unfold.
"No, but I do have something to show him. " Cletus took a knife from his pocket and showed it to Venom "Sorry but I do love myself some Carnage "
Cletus walked closer to Spider-Man and ran his hand over the bag on his head but didn't remove it. He grinned like a maniac, revealing several missing teeth. He took Spider-Man's hand and started counting his fingers with the knife.
"Oh is the Spider scared that I will cut off his little piggies? Well, it's your lucky day I will let you keep your little piggies but I must draw blood. " Cletus grinned again before stabbing his blade into Spider-Man's stomach, making sure to miss any vital organs. Spider-Man screamed out in agony causing Felicia to cover her eyes as tears started falling again. MJ was crying as well as she watched Peter get tortured. She wrapped her arms around Felicia and placed her head on her shoulder.
Spider-Man continued to scream until Cletus removed the knife and walked back to his seat, Venom and the audience giving him a loud ovation.
"That Cletus really is something isn't he New York. He is going to be a real star one day "
Venom walked closer to Spider-Man and lifted his head. "I can end this all right now if you admit to everything you did wrong. " Venom revealed his face to only Peter as he grabbed him by his jaw.
Peter leaned his head back and whipped it forward, headbutting Harry in the face. Harry let out an angry yell of pain before the symbiote took its place on his face again. He grabbed Peter by the neck and hauled him out of the seat. He held him about 8 feet in the air as he was choking him.
"Looks like the little Spider still has a little fight. No big deal, we can get rid of that quickly. "
Venom threw Spider-Man against the wall, causing the hero to crack the back of his head against it. Spider-Man lay on the ground, his body slumped over in pain as Venom slowly walked towards him.
