A Symbiotic Bond: A Venomous Titan Reborn
Chapter Four
[Champion City – The Showdown Hotel
Garfield Mark Logan]
"What the hell?!" Garfield shouted in surprise as he stared at the television in surprise.
He had just woken up after one of the best nights of rest he's ever had in the last few days and all he wanted to do was eat some cereal while watching some sweet "Courage the Cowardly Dog" when his image appeared on the news.
"We interrupt this broadcast to bring you some breaking news!" The rather cute reporter said in a rather excited tone. "Last night, there was a breaking in at the Champion City National Bank. Now, this wouldn't be news normally due to Champion City's well-known hero, Rocket-"
At this point, the picture of Rocket flying in the air with a child in her arms was seen. "-Would be the one to stop this but instead, there is a new hero on the scene."
Garfield then watched a video of him swinging around and taking down three of the robbers then a few seconds later, another clip showed him taking down Rhino. "Whoever this new hero is, people are talking about them and we hope to see them soon."
Garfield had to admit, he looked damn good in that suit but he felt resentment from the symbiote.
"Hey, are you ok?" Garfield asked as he turned off the television.
"I-I am fine," The voice stated with a stammer, the resentment faltered. "I'm just...Not used to seeing myself in that form after...Him..."
"I see," Garfield replied with a frown on his face. "Did you not know that you were going to take this form when we bonded?"
"I knew that I did but I don't get the chance to look at myself often," the voice replied before it added "But if I did...I would change myself to get far away from what I used to be with him..."
Garfield was silent for a moment before he stood upon and walked to the large mirror that was attached to the door. "Mind bringing up the suit for me?" Garfield asked and for a moment, he didn't get a response.
But after waiting several seconds. Garfield felt the cool sensation around his body as black liquid rose up from his body from his feet up until he was fully covered in the liquid and seconds later, it tightened up into that familiar black suit.
"What is your goal for doing this Garfield?" The voice questioned with a firm, yet curious tone.
"Well, you feel hurt by this suit due to it being his suit so...Let's change it to something you would like," Garfield answered with a smile.
He felt the feeling of surprise come from the symbiote after he said this but he continued with, "If we're going to be partners, I want you to be comfortable with doing this. We may have his powers but it's time to have our own identity and the first step is to change the suit."
"...You really are something Garfield," The voice softly said.
The eyes on the mask arched up, which showed that Garfield was smiling beneath the mask. "No biggie...So, let's get started. Why don't you try changing the suit to something you like."
A few seconds went by before the voice said "I...Don't exactly know what to start with? Perhaps you can think of a few ideas and we can see if we both like it."
"Alright cool...How about we try the reverse colors?" Garfield questioned. After a few seconds, Garfield's symbiotic suit was bright white and in the middle of his chest was a black spider with six elongated legs that stretched out to his back, the eyes on his mask were pitch black.
"Wow, this is pretty cool. What do you think?" Garfield asked the symbiote with a tilt of his head.
"As nice as it looks, we will need to be more stealthy for the night missions...Therefore, I must decline on this look," The voice answered.
Garfield chuckled and replied "I get what you mean...I mean bright white for someone that could be working at night is the same as a ninja wearing orange. Hm...How about a purple look?"
After ten minutes of going through many different colors and designs, there was finally one that made the two take pause.
The main suit then changed back to black while the spider became bright red but the spider itself changed.
The spider still remained in the middle but the head was separated from the body along with the top two legs of the spider. The top two legs of the spider stretched up to his shoulders while the second set of legs stretched to his arms, where they stopped at his biceps.
There were also two red lines going from his wrists to his forearms while on the front of his hands, the lines went from the back of his hands to his forearm.
The third set of legs were shorter than the two before and only stayed attached to the spider in the middle and stretched to the suit's back and the final set of legs stretched down to the front of his thighs and on top of his feet was a red stripe.
And the eyes of the mask were bright red.
The red on the suit seemed to glow against the pitch black color of the suit and Garfield found himself liking the look of the suit but the color was off. Red was more Robin's thing. Even Starfire's but it was never his thing.
"I like the suit design but the color...The color is off...Red is nice but it's not me," Garfield stated as the eyes on the mask narrowed.
The voice chuckled at this and said "I think I know what color we can choose..."
The red on the suit became lime green. which caused Garfield to grin. "That's perfect! We have a new look!"
A large explosion shook the hotel, causing Garfield to stumble slightly in alarm. "What was that?" Garfield asked as he turned his head to the window. He rushed to the window and opened it and noticed a large cloud of black smoke rising from the ground.
"What the hell?!" Garfield exclaimed in surprise.
"There is only one way to find out Garfield," The voice murmured. Garfield nodded and said "Change the suit back for now. We can change it later." The suit then took on its original form as Garfield took several steps back before he ran towards the large bay window, jumped out of it, shot out of a strand of web, and swung in a wide arc in the air.
Garfield let go of the strand and let himself fall down near the ground and when he was close enough, he shot another strand of web and swung past a group of people. He could hear their gasps of surprise at his sudden appearance and disappearance and Garfield had to admit, it felt nice hearing it.
With a twist of his body, Garfield soared within two billboards before he shot a strand of web to a pole and swung to the right but the moment he did, an intense tingling sensation began in his mind. As if someone picked up a game controller, Garfield's body jerked up ran up a large van that had just been thrown before he flipped off the bus, twisted his body, and shot out several webs to string it up in the middle of two buildings.
Garfield then turned around and moved his hand forward and was going to shoot out a strand of the web but a body slammed into him, knocking the air out of him as he soared backward and slammed through a building and slammed into a marble counter before he fell forward, his grip still on the body that had collided with his own.
Garfield's body whipped around the counter before he fell to the ground before he groaned in pain, the eyes of his mask closing before they opened up again. "W-What the hell?" Garfield muttered as he looked down at the body that had slammed against him.
The body was that of a teenage girl who had black skin with short black hair and black eyes, three pairs of small earrings on each ear, a gray jumpsuit that was zipped down with its sleeves rolled up, revealing a black skintight shirt and sleeves along with black boots and gloves.
"T-This...Rocket?" Garfield muttered as he cradled her body in his arms. She was badly wounded from what he could tell. Her left arm was broken, there was blood flowing from a large cut on her face, which caused a flow of blood to coat her face with her suit torn in several places.
But she was alive...For now...
Garfield then heard a chuckle and when he looked up, he saw a large muscular being in a black, skintight suit with golden bands around his biceps, forearms, and thighs while a green cape attached to its back, which flowed with the wind.
On its face were glowing white eyes and it had a large, toothy grin which was crazed as it said "Well...It seems a new target in my slaughter."
"Garfield...I'm sensing some serious danger from this individual," The voice hissed it out, causing Garfield to get on edge.
"Who are you?" Garfield demanded, eyes narrowing.
The figure's grin grew as he said "My name is Oblivion...And that is where I will send you."
Captain B;ues: So if you guys don't know who this is, he is Oblivion from Icon, the comic book series where Rocket is from and this new enemy has appeared and taken out the city's hero Rocket, leaving Garfield to deal with this new foe in his first official solo battle with a powerful foe. What will happen next? Until the next chapter!
