NEW YORK CITY
In the heart of the concrete jungle, a towering pillar of smoke stacks reached upward as helicopters from various new agencies and surrounding the area watching what was going on. Blocks and streets had been cut off by Shield Cape Killers and NYPD. The roads, sidewalks, and street were in nothing but utter destruction. Windows hadn't just been broken they were nonexistent, buildings and apartment complexes had been ruined and torn to pieces like a wrecking crew had gone free style. Sprawled on the ground and under rubble were the Avengers, both teams.
"Holy shit." Bullseye said from atop one of the overlooking buildings looking down at the scene with his sniper rifle "Did I tell you, or did I tell you?" the voice from his earbud said "You told me Director, did you know that was going to happen?" the assassin asked looking at the scene. The director hesitated to answer "I knew something would happen, and it did, and what happened was more than I dreamed." The Director said smiling from his shadowy office looking through Bullseyes eyes. "
As the Shield Hellicarrier flew overhead with jets and helicopters piling around the area "Looks like the heats rising, I'm pulling out." Bullseye said as he packed up his sniper rifle.
Iron Man and Ms. Marvel were lying across from one another hands outstretched to another, the Wasp was in her giant form passed out into a building. Wonder Man was buried under a car, Iron Fist was hanging from a lamp post and Ronins was half buried in a pile of rubble. Ares had his armor and helmet torn right off holding both axe and sword with a gapping chest wound. Doctor Strange was webbed to a wall with a mix of black webs and white ones. Wolverine was laying in a pool of his own blood his yellow and blue, spandex. Luke Cage was propped up against an alley way covered in wounds bleeding freely and barely conscious to see the only one left standing was Spider-Man looking even worse than Cage.
He was standing in front of Spider-Boy, Adrian, his son, both of their suits were torn and ripped apart who own clothes. Spider-Man had half his mask off and Adrians was gone Spider-Man looked down at Adrian right in his green eyes "… there you are." Spider-Man said before falling over out cold, and looking like he was about to be a lot worse.
What just happened.
Adrian looked around at everything, all the chaos and carnage that had just been unleashed not that long ago.
He heard a weak cough and looked over to see Luke Cage, "Mr. Cage… Mr. Cage what happened?" Adrian said stumbling toward him with the rocks "Who did this?" Adrian asked him. Cages yellow shirt had been ripped off and he was holding his side coughing. Each cough sprayed out blood from his wound and mouth "You… you don't remember?" Cage asked him
Than it all comes back to me!
TEN MINUTES AGO
The black, red chested spider being lunged like lighting at Spider-Man, smashing right through Sentry and Ares knocking them out of the picture and through two buildings before it was on Spider-Man. It was the same size of Iron Mans suit taller and bulkier than Spider-Man but not a behemoth like Venom. "Look out!" Iron Man yelled shoving him out of the way. The creature grabbed Iron Man and started to claw at his armor when Ms. Marvel came around "This is Danvers, I need any hero we have with fire abilities here asap."
Dear god, no this wasn't supposed to happen.
She said as she tried to blast the creature with her energy blasts but they had no effect. When she was close enough she drew back her fist ready to smash the symbiote into the ground it shot its hand back out and grabbed her by the face and started to crush her into the ground over and over. "NO, I JUST GOT HIM BACK I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM FROM ME!" Spider-Man came up behind it and grabbed the monster from under the arms putting it in a full nelson "Adrian listen to me, you have to fight it, I know you can do it, listen to-" Spider-Man was cut off by the symbiote shooting out dark black tentacles and tearing Spider-Man off and throwing him away like garbage.
I have too get through…. Somehow, I have too, talk to him…
"What do we do cage?" Ronin asked as the symbiote was on the attack "We stop this thing."
I won't let this happen, I won't let him go through the same thing I went through with Venom.
"What about Spider-Boy?" Iron Fist asked "We go get him…" Cage said as he charged forth "Avengers Asse—MMF" the symbiote shot back and grabbed Cage by the gut but it wasn't a grab, it had hooked its claws into Cages side and spun them both around before it ripped its claws out throwing cage into a building ripping apart his top and skin. When Cage hit the wall it cracked like it was about to break. Than shattered when the monster smashed its fist into Cage so hard it caused the hero for hire to throw up his guts.
They have to get away, I know Venom and I know Carnage, they don't stand a chance.
It started to pummel Cage over and over with rapid fire punches and claws, "Cage!" Iron Fist yelled as Ronin and Iron Fist, attacked from behind. The monster dodged their attacks both of them at the same time fist of iron and blade from a Ronin. Until it held its hand up and caught both Ronins sword and Iron Fists magical powered punch. It squeezed tightly on both breaking Ronins sword and crushing Iron Fists hand.
It swung Iron Fist like rag doll into Ronin before it smashed Iron Fist around on the ground like it did with Ms. Marvel and Iron Man, Spider-Man got back to his feet and watched the Avengers kept fighting. Cage was held up against the wall when two hairy Canadian arms "Lil bub if your still in there give ma sign." Wolverine said when the beasts back exploded in spikes tearing through Wolverines flesh they retracted dropping Wolverine. "Doctor Strange, anything you can do with magic." Iron Man asked as he held up both arms and started to fire at the symbiote which charged right toward him.
Doctor Strange held up both hands and started to cast spells "Possibly, I need to concentrate, but I can sense Spider-Mans son within the two beasts but there melting into one." Strange replied as Ms. Marvel flew up behind the symbiote.
"Marvel now!" Iron Man said back on his feet with Ms. Marvel who hit the creature right in its black forehead making it let go of Iron Fist while he swung him around but thankfully a street pole caught him. Ms. Marvel flew right at the creature both her fists ignited in her cosmic powers before she swung her leg around right into its head. Iron Man attacked from the back "We need to weaken it, once it starts to lose control we can get Adrian out." Iron Man said making sure he wouldn't hurt the boy. For a brief moment, a milisecond it looked like they were winning, only for a second. When she came around for another kick the monster let her kick its side before wrapping its arm around her leg and driving its fist into her knee joint.
CRACK
The shattering of Ms. Marvels leg was followed by Iron Man yelling "CAROL!" The symbiote heard his scream and from its other arm letting go of Ms. Marvel it grabbed the Iron Man with both arms and even tentacles lifting it up over its head before yanking Iron Man down onto its knee the crunching of metal and spine were even louder than his screams before it dropped Iron Man to the pavement. "…. Tony." Ms. Marvel said seeing him trying to reach for him. But the beast wasn't done yet, it pinned Ms. Marvel to the ground and brought both arms back and brought them forward like an ape onto her with such force the road was broken.
Smashing his fist right into its face Wonder Man started to bombard the symbiote with punches "Come on whatever the hell you are, I'm ready for you." Wonder Man said before both fists were caught by the monster "This is not my day." Wonder Man groaned. The symbiote swung him around smashing him on the walls, ground and into cars. The Symbiote grabbed two taxi cabs that had been abandoned smashing them down on Wonder Man, hard.
The Symbiote looked up to Doctor Strange who was holding both hands surrounded by magic "… Just need a few more seconds.. Strange mumbled as he concentrated before the Symboite lunged at him. Strange's eyes glowed purple and all of the symbiotes body was wrapped in electric magic, it pressured the monster to the ground before it shot up breaking Stranges concentration and shooting a blast of webs and symbiote into the Doctor wrapping him up against a wall, before it could continue a massive foot kicked the symbiote away.
I should have never let him out of my sight, should never let any of this happen.
"Pick on someone your own size." Wasp yelled as she was in her giant form, "Wasp get out of here." Spider-Man called out leaping up and trying to get between them. "Not happening Peter."
No, no, no, why is no one listening to me.
She drew back her car sized fist and drove it forward, right toward the symbiote that recovered and dodged her punch and leaping over to a car. Where it grabbed it and leapt off the ground so hard it left foot prints off the ground onto a building and then springing with the car still in hand right toward the Wasps face and swinging the car like a brick right into the Avengers giant head knocking her against a building making it crumble. When Wasp looked up she saw the Symbiote swing its own leg around and hit her with a strong kick to the jaw that it brought down even more of the building right onto Ronin. It was about to go for another strike on the Wasp when another insect like hero appeared.
Sorry Adrian, its time for some tough love.
"STOP IT." Spider-Man swung in and wrapped both arms around the symbiote "YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME ADRIAN." Spider-Man yelled wrestling the thing that held his son inside it to the ground. Spider-Man and it moved like it was a choreographed dance with both there Spider senses warning them for each blow. Spider-Man eventually started to land some blows, kicks and punches. He wrapped both his arms around the creatures arms and smashed him into the ground head first.
Knock some sense into him, its how everyone helped me, weaken the symbiote just enough.
Despite many of the Heroes being down, Black Widow had escaped the punishment and was behind cover with her guns, "This is Black Widow, we need support here now." She said in her ear piece when both Sentry and Ares burst through the walls of the cities buildings. "I don't care what or who's inside that thing, I'm cutting it in half." Ares said with his massive battle axe bringing it back ready to chop the creature and Adrian up into bits. Spider-Man saw him coming as he the symbiote grabbed Spider-Man with a tentacle "Ares No- Just let me-"and smashed him through the buildings around them and right into and out six walls.
Never liked Ares… than again never had a choice
The symbiotes own spider sense kicked in when it saw Ares bring down his mighty axe and caught it with the bare of its palm. Ares gapped when the symbiotic tore the metal right off the stick and tried to drive the axe head right into the God of War. If not for Ares godly reflexs in unsheathing his sword to block the attack he would have. But the second the axe head and sword met both pieces of metal shattered and the monster turned its other hand into a large spear like spike. Faster than quicksilver it drove the spike right through Ares's armor and traight through the god's chest. Ares didn't even let out a scream, mainly cause both lungs had just been skewered.
Oh god, not him now?
"ENOUGH!" Sentry roared smashing into the symbiote, the golden guardians molecular power radiating from him burning right into the symbiote, "I swear you won't hurt anymore, anymore." Sentry growled as the symbiote thrashed and smashed everything around it trying to break free but the Sentry's grip was adamantine.
Have to stop them, both of them.
Near it rising from the rubble of someones apartment, Spider-Man saw it all "Sentry, wait." Spider-Man said crawling out of the rubble and rushing over to him "Adrian's in there, you have to let me talk to him." Spider-Mans suit and half his mask was torn from the constant barrage of attacks
I've known Sentry for years-
Sentry glared over at Spider-Man both his eyes burning with the golden energy "If there's anything left of your son, Spider-Man, I'll rip him out of this thing." The Sentry's power started to eat away at the symbiote until the area around his hand started to chip and fade away into ash. Loud screams coming from inside it started to fight their way through, the screams of a child.
And I know that he always thinks he's the strongest being in the world-
"Stop, stop-stop your killing him!" Spider-Man said trying to stop Sentry who held him back, below Adrian's face could be seen covered in the symbiotes grip with a mix of red and black alien venomous carnage, his veins showed to be filled with black blood instead of red or blue. His eyes were locked tight when suddenly they opened both blood red "LET GO!" he roared his voice like something unnatural and wrong. The creatures entire body shot up with spike like tentacles into Sentry wrapping around his arm and despite his powers radiating off him no longer burned.
But he never considered anything not from this world.
The symbiotes body hardened and condensed around Sentry's arm he tried to pull away but the symbiote had him, it's arm broke apart into tentacles and jagged spikes grabbing Sentry by the throat and wrapping around him. Sentry pulled away trying to back up.
They don't know what I know about the symbiote.
But the symbiote wrapped its coils around Sentry's legs and it started to grow, Sentry kept tearing the tentacles and the symbiote off him but each time he tore a piece away more began to cover his yellow suit. Spider-man dodged the tentacles and spikes over and over and over as Sentry was covered.
It doesn't just take, it consumes everything you throw at, and turns it against you.
"Get off- get it off me-" Sentry barked as he was mummified in the symbiotes power "Adrian stop!" Spider-Man yelled as Sentry's screams were muffled as he was crushed. Spider-Man got right in front of the symbiote and looked right at it, and through it "STOP- DEAR GOD ADRIAN STOP!" Sentry's unleashed a furious loud scream as his full power was let go in a gigantic bright flash.
It took my me, it took my free will when it was attached to me, now it's trying to take my son.
Spider-Man grabbed onto the symbiote as it consumed Sentry holding him tightly letting all the tentacles and spikes pierce through him "YOUR NOT THIS YOUR SPIDER-BOY YOU HEAR ME, SPIDER-BOY!"
It won't take anything else!
Sentry's powers seeped through the edges in the symbiotes grip around until Sentry unleashed all his power taking everything around him with it.
….
….
….
….
….
….
It was Me?
Adrian collapsed on is hands and knees looking around at the Avengers, at what he had done, he had both hands on his head holding it tightly trying to keep the rest of his body from shaking to no avail. He looked around the entire area to see all the Heroes down and sprawled across the floor.
I did this… all of this…
Spider-Boy could hear the sirens coming, "I've got to get you out of here." Adrian rushed over to Cage and tried to help him up but the second he touched him Cage screamed in agony, "Sorry- Sorry-" the kid said putting him back down "Not me… Strange, he can cast a spell- cough- get us all out of here." Cage said coughing up some blood.
"Strange, got it." Spider-Boy said.
He zipped over to Doctor Strange who was still glued to the walls by the webs, Adrian started to tear the webs off him "I'm so sorry Doctor Strange I- I didn't know what happened I couldn't control it." Spider-Boy said as he tore the webs off Strange from top to bottom with a few strands still in his robes and hair "… ugh We can worry about that later, for now we need to get out of here." Strange said crossing his legs as he levitated and held up both his hands and started to spin them around.
Spider-Boy rushed away from Strange back into the crater Sentry had made, and collapsed on his knees over his dad he cradled Peters unconscious face looking at his own reflection his fathers blood
Dear… god, what I have I done?
Doctor Strange finished his spell and instantly the New Avengers were teleported away in a flash.
STARK TOWERS
TWO HOURS LATER
"Alright… that could have gone better." Tony said wearing nothing but his body glove suit. His arm was in a sling and he was in a wheel chair with a recently put brace around his back. The Avengers were in there towers meeting room, all wrapped up and tended to with first and almost last aid. Ms. Marvel had a cast on her leg, Wonder Man was covered in purple welts and cuts. Wasp had a black eye along with the rest of her face. Black Widow was the only one who wasn't entirely broken, she had her suit pulled back with bandages over her sports bra and ribs. Ares had his left arm in a sling with wrappings around his chest where he had been stabbed, Sentry wasn't even there.
The Avengers were silent "Alright, so how's Sentry?" Tony asked Carol "He'll be fine, he just needs stome time, he's more mad at himself for loosing control than all of us." Ms. Marvel said to him "Geez… all this time." Wasp mumbled under her breath "What was that Jane?" Tony asked her.
"I mean, all this time, something like that was Inside that child." She said holding her hand "I don't think that it was." Tony said as he leaned in his wheelchair "What do you mean?"
"I mean we knew that carnage had latched onto Spider-Mans son, but we didn't know that was going to happen when it bonded with Venom." Iron Man said to them all "That's why we made it a immediate threat, so we step up our game and bring him in."
Everyone was silent, not answering him "What is it?" He asked.
"With all do respect Tony." Wonder Man said, "You seem a bit obsessed with finding Parkers kid." The hero said back to him "I'm acting as any rational man would, the fact that a new symbiote has been formed is news for worry?" he asked them "We're not saying that, but you've been going after Spider-Man and Spider-Boy whenever you want, I know you have connections with the Parkerp family, but this is getting ridicolus." Carol said to him reaching for his hand.
Iron Man looked at his team "As not just the leader of Shield, but all of us you need to focus on more important things, let one of us give it a try." She said trying to persuade him "Unless you all forgot, one of our supervillains got loose and caused all this, as in someone inside Shield with high access used one of our own supervillains and cut it loose against a target, that wiped the FLOOR WITH US IN TEN MINUTES FLAT." Iron Man yelled standing up "Dismissed."
SANCTUM SANCTORUM
The New Avengers were in the Sanctorums living room sitting around all like the other Avengers wrapped up and being tended too. A woman with a white doctors coat and a bag that was full of bandages and other medical tools was open infront of Luke Cage as she wrapped up around his chest "Thanks for the house call Night Nurse." Cage said as she cut the bandage to finish stitching.
The rest of the Avenger had all been bandaged up and covered in bandages, even the Spider Dog fang was covered in bandages laying on the flood bandaids around his leg and ribs.
"How is he?" Luke Cage asked looking at Spider-Man "You know Parker may not look like he can take a hit, but Spider-Man won't go down that easy." Night Nurse said as she patched him up "Wasn't talking about that dad."
Night Nurse and Luke exchanged a glare before she leaned in "He's perfect." She said making Cage look at her confused "Heart pressure is good, breathing, even his scar tissue is starting to fade."
"It's a symbiote right?" she asked him "Yeah." Cage replied "Well you said two wre there, a red one and black one, that's two symbiotes, one offspring of the Symbiotes favorite mealticket, its like eating fresh brownies." She said starting to finish up everything. "So you got three minds all fighting for control, a negative, plus a negative, plus a positive… is still a negative."
"Where is he?" Cage asked the nurse, as Fang headed up to the stairs "In his room." Fang crawled up the stairs and came Adrians door and sat up right in front of it before laying down at the edge. Inside the room, Adrian was looking out at the night sky, he wasn't even out of his suit. He had no wounds, no scars, no signs of fatigue. Walking upstairs behind Wolf slowly with his arm in a sling was Peter Parker, he had his mask off and walked up right in front of the door Fang looked up at him with his eight eyes and did nothing. There were no signs of hostility or welcoming but the wolf knew he was there.
Spider-Man put his hand on the door as if to knock but looked down, "How long is he going to have to keep paying for my mistakes." Peter said to the only one who followed him up, the only one of them who didn't need medical attention because of his special physicality, Wolverine. "… I bet his whole life." Wolverine said arms crossed behind him on the wall "Isn't this the part where your suppose to tell me, I'm a good father or not?" Peter asked him.
Logan cocked a brow "Bub I ain't the one to talk about raising kids, but I don't think of us saw that coming." Wolverine said referring to what had happened. Wolveirne said walking back downstairs before Peter followed him "The symbiote… it said something to me, right before it attacked." Peter said to Wolverine "I heard it to, we all did." Logan said leading him back into the room with the rest of the New Avengers "Ruin." Doctor Strange said as they all looked like they were about to have a discussion or a trial.
"So before we start this, nobody is casting blame on anyone for what happened, but we need one thing clear, what do we do with Adrian." Doctor Strange said making Peter curl his hand into a fist "You make that sound like the symbiote and Adrian are one in the same." Peter snapped "He never said that Pete, but you know more than I what an out of control Symbiote can do." Cage said trying to calm him down.
"For all we know the creature has reawakened in him, it needs to be dealt with." Doctor Strange added levitating in between them "Delat with?" Spider-Man growled "Okay, hold up before this turns into another Civil War." Wolverine said getting in the middle "We have a alien monster inside an eleven year old boy, that can trash us in less than ten." Wolverine said holding hands up "We know that its not the same thing as Adrian, we know what it can do, to us and the host." The mutant explained "Now, who here knows a man who specializes in helping young children with gifted or sometimes cursed with this kind of raw power."
One by one the Avengers all started to see where the X-Man was going "Lastly we also know this man is so powerful with telepathic abilities he can go inside anything's mind." Wolverine finished Spider-Man and Wolverine locked eyes "You want me to send him away, just after I finally got him back?"
"Nobodies saying you have to, we want you to agree with us on this Parker." Iron Fist pointed out using his last name to show how serious it was "But this is for his own good." Spider-Woman agreed "I know the Symbiote, I know what it can do, I'm the only one here who knows what he's going through and I won't have him go through alone like I did!" Peter yelled at them "He's my son, he's my responsibility, all I've had to hear from everyone on the news, from people talking about me on the street, to you guys about how to father him." Spider-Man barked at the Avengers "Let me for Christs sake, he has to stay here where I can see him, where I know he's safe."
Everyone was silent until "I'll go." Everyone looked to the staircase to see Adrian standing next to Fang "No, no way are you leaving, do you hear me." Spider-Man said running over to him "Dad I almost tried to kill you, to kill everyone!" Adrian yelled back at him "I know, I know, I went through the Symbiote too, I know what it can do." Peter latched onto Adrians arm "I can help, I know how to beat it."
"Except you didn't." Adrian said up to him "I don't want to hurt you." He begged, "You won't." Peter said kneeling "This is our home, you're my son, and I saw you're not leaving, and that's final."
"… If you know what it can do, then you know I need to fix this." Adrian replied to his dad, Peter looked back at Wolverine and gave a grudging nod "Cyclops is going to love this.
XAIVERS SCHOOL FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS
LATER THAT NIGHT
Wolverine opened a beer as the rest of the X-Men staff stood around the kitchen. "What?" Wolverine asked looking right at him.
"What do you $ &* mean what?" Scott asked under his shades. He was wearing some pajama pants with a white shirt next to Emma Frost who wore a linen white robe with silvery white lingerie that could be seen under the robe. "You brought a federal fugitive into our house." Scott said next to her, sitting at the kitchen table was Beast wearing a night cap and sleep shirt "These halls have seen far worse guests sadly." The furball said to them all "And he's underage, so he's not really a fugitive." Kitty Pryde was wearing a big red shirt that went down to her knees that had Russian writing on it. Standing next to her was a tall towering Russian who could fit that shirt out with some boxers one was Petyr Rasputin.
"We have enough problems with Shield and the government surrounding the house in sentinels, after M-Day." Scott said as Wolverine groaned as he sat down "Relax Summers, Stark has no idea he's here and those Sentinels are only looking for mutants." He said downing his beer a few times "Do you ever think before you act Logan?" Emma asked him arms crossed glaring at him "Not unless the Professor tells me to, in a telepathic message."
All the X-Men looked at one another "Yeah chew on that."
Up above in a dimly lit office of one Charles Xaiver sat Professor X and Adrian.
"Wolverine has informed me of what happened, and to his credit he followed my orders to the letter…" Professor Xaiver said across from him "Orders?" Adrian asked. The professor nodded "Yes, before you came here I sensed a great telepathic signal of... I'm not sure what to call it." Xaiver sighed "When I discovered you were the source I contacted Wolverine to bring you here, to my School because Adrian?" Professor Xaiver reached out and touched the boys hand "I want to help you."
Adrian looked up at him silently
"Just do it."
Professor Xs smile fell as he got serious "Very well let us begin."
Alright here we go.
At first nothing happened.
You in yet?
He asked in his mind "Not yet, your mind is fascinating Adrian, there is natural protection around your mind something I see Emma had trouble with."
"What?" Adrian asked her "Despite her more noble qualities Ms. Frost is curious, even more so when she can't get inside.
My mind can't be read?
"Notentirely my dear boy, I can read your thoughts like the ones your having now because you let me, these are thoughts that are not deep within you, something you don't want others to see." Charles said as he reached out "Perhaps its better if I show you."
In a bright flash the two vanished into Adrian's mind "Impressive isn't it." Professor X said sitting in his mechanical chair looking at a giant ball of light surrounded and cacooned in a giant web "Is that a web?" Adrian asked both of them floating side by side in a dimly lit void the only light coming from the websas they wrapped it up inside "How can there be a web inside my mind?" Adrian asked the professor.
"The mind sees what it wants, and in your mind we see that in the form of webs." Charles said as he liters got up out of his chair and air walked down to the webs "Many minds that have barriers against telepaths create there own projection of these barriers; walls, fences, I encountered one so strong it had built an entire fortress with armed guards." Professor X said with the boy looking over "You mean like Incept- whoa you can walk?!" Adrian said shocked seeing the mutant walk up to the webs looking them over "This is the mental aspect of myself, also Ican walk since returning from space but I wanted to not traumatize you any further."
Adrian noticed his words "I'm not traumatized." He hissed as Charles touched the web and instantly more shot out around where his hand was and Charles quickly moved away as Adrian grabbed his head feeling his Spider Sende burn.
"It appears this is the foundation of your spider sense but it seems as if-" suddenly Charles was cut off by a set of giant black and red tentacles shooting out to try and grab them "-Tampered with."
Adrian started to calm down as the tentacles receded "The symbiotic is deeply embedded in not just your body but mind, we will need to go deeper." Professor X said down to the boy, "How deep?" He asked.
"Deeper than most." Professor X replied.
Adrian took a deep breath and said as he looked down at his mental image, still wearing the rags of the black suit before it changed to his old red and blue one "Lets do it."
