It's been a about a month since Loona had moved in with Peter, and it was actually a really smooth transition. For once his Parker luck hadn't managed to ruin everything so he definitely considered that a win. She still worked at I.M.P so there was that, though thanks to the necklace Stolas gave to her, she was now able between Earth and Hell with no problem. Though from what he's heard that wasn't exactly legal. Who knew Hell had rules? Well now he knew, back when he first visited, he didn't.
Speaking of Loona, she was currently back in Hell. Apparently, Blitz, Millie, and Moxxie were all on another mission to some cabin in the woods. They were supposedly after some homewrecker according to Loona, and while he would normally try to talk them out of it, he doubted it would have much effect. He really had to find them better jobs.
And where was Peter right now exactly? Right now, he was currently swinging through the streets of New York. He was doing his daily patrolling, and while there was the obvious break in here in there or even the typical car chase, there wasn't really much going on and that was just fine with him.
There was one thing that worried him, the symbiote. He knew it was safe with Dr. Connors, but he couldn't help but feel like he made the wrong choice keeping it alive. It was a miracle that it hadn't even been stolen yet. Though to be fair, he made sure of that by checking on it at least once a day if he could. He'd rather not repeat what had happened in the past if he could help it.
Peter shook his head as he continued to swing, "There's no point in thinking about it right now. It's contained and secured, so there shouldn't be a reason to worry, right?" Loona always mentions that he worries too much but in his honest opinion he didn't worry enough. 'Speaking of which, I should probably go check on the symbiote right now.'
It was it that moment that his phone started to ring. It was from May. He landed on a rooftop nearby and answered. "Hey, how's my favorite girl in the world doing?" Peter asked his aunt with a smile under his mask.
"Oh Peter, you know that spot is for Loona." She teased as multiple people could be heard in the background.
"Y-yeah, I guess you are right about that. Also are you at FEAST right now?" He questioned as he sat down by the ledge.
"I am, now that I'm back from vacation, it's time to get back to work. This place isn't gonna run itself you know. Which reminds me, can you come by? I need help sorting some boxes and I'm afraid my back just isn't what it used to be. I would ask one of the other volunteers but they're all busy with their own things."
"Of course, I'll be right over!" Peter jumped from the ledge and shot out a line of webbing as he began to make his way towards the shelter.
"Thank you sweetheart, I'll see you in a bit. Love you."
"Love you too May, I'll be there in a few." And with that May hung up. "She barely got back from vacation and she's already working? She is one tough lady. No wonder Blitz is afraid of her. Actually, why is he afraid of her? Eh, a question for another day."
After about ten minutes, he had finally made it to the rooftop of F.E.A.S.T. Luckily for him, he always leaves a bag of spare clothes out. After quickly getting changed he made his way, only to be greeted by some of the workers.
As he made his way around, he had finally found May in the kitchen cutting away at some vegetables. Even at her age, she still found the strength and will to help others. It didn't help she had the love of a mother and the patience of a saint. Maybe that's why Loona loved May so much. Peter never tried to pry into what their conversations were, all he knew was that Loona loved May as a daughter loved her mother.
"Hey May." Peter sweetly greeted as he went to her side. "So, where uh...where are the boxes at?" Maybe he missed them on his way inside and they were at the entrance of the building?
"Oh, I'm sorry Peter. Just before you got here, a kind man already took care of it." Peter didn't look convinced. 'The only time she pulls something like this is when she wants to have a serious talk with me. How come she never tricks Loona like this? I am definitely sensing favoritism here.'
"Well in any case, is there anything I can help you with? OH, I know. How about I help you cook?" He suggested as he went over to the sink to wash his hands.
"No No, It's okay. I rather not repeat last Christmas if I can help it." She giggled. She then looked up from the cutting board and adjusted her glasses.
"I actually wanted to talk to you Peter." May told him as she set down the knife. 'Please let this be the good kind of talk, I rather fight the Rhino than the bad type.'
"S-sure, what's up?" He couldn't help but stutter as he stared at the shorter woman.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay, as of late you seem awfully stressed." May couldn't but worry that her nephew was once again running himself ragged with his work.
'Damnit, I knew I should have checked in on May. Years later and I'm still making this amazing woman worry.' Peter felt guilt creep up his back as his aunt stared at him, worry evident in her eyes.
"I'm fine May, I promise. Just my 'job' being more of a pain than usual." He answered as her face fell even more. 'I hate worrying her, and sometimes I wish I could take back the memory of her finding about me being Spider-Man, but... there's point in lying to her anymore. If I did, then that'd just worry her even more.'
"Maybe you should take a vacation Sweetheart, just for a weekend or so." May suggested, though in her heart she knew that he wouldn't, he never did.
"You know I can't May, but don't worry. It'll sort itself out I promise." He had to at least try to soothe her worries. "Are you sure there isn't anything you need right now? I could go ask around?" May just shook her head and waved her hand.
"It's fine Peter, go shoo. Just remember if you ever need anything to call me alright? And tell Loona I said hello!" May smiled as she held her hands together.
"Thanks May, and I will!" He gave her a quick hug before departing, he then began to make his way up to the roof of the building. He hastily put on his suit before swinging into the city. Besides the occasional thug or two, it was fairly quiet. According to a report done by the city, he had managed to bring down crime by fifthteen percent.
Not like Jameson or the Bugle would report on it. 'Well, mainly JJ himself. That reminds me, I have to take some more pictures of Spider soon, I rather be able to pay rent this month. Though Loona does offer to pay as well. Still, I don't want her to waste her money just because I can't manage to get another gig.' He really had to get another job. Sooner rather than later would be nice but beggars can't be choosers as some would say.
'I wonder how Loona is right no-... I forgot to look at my texts!' Peter immediately pulled out his phone as he continued to swing. There were four missed messages.
[11:27 am - My Moon: Hey babe, hows ur patrol so far?]
[11:45 am - My Moon: ur probably busy but are u ok?]
[12:30 pm - My Moon: Txt me back when ur not busy please]
[12:47 pm - My Moon: I know I should be used to this but pls text me when you can im worried.]
Peter immediately started text her back as he frantically moved his fingers.
[12:48 pm - Me: Hey! Sorry, just done from visiting May, that I was just swinging for a while but I'm okay don't worry!
He heard an instant notification sound.
[12:49 pm - My Moon: You sure? Do I need to come get u? Bring you any supplies? Medicine? Food?]
[12:50 pm - Me: No No, it's okay. I'm safe. How are you, are you doing okay?]
[12:51 pm - My Moon: im ok, just worried about u. Jackass]
Peter just chuckled as he began to type up his next message.
[12:52 pm - Me: I know you love me. I'm gonna patrol for a few more hours but I'll text you when I get home if I get there before you alright?]
[12:53 pm - My Moon: Just be careful, I love you!]
[12:54 pm - Me: I love you Loona, I'll see you when we're both home!]
And with that Peter put his phone away. He smiled as he thought about his girlfriend for a few seconds. He really did love her. May certainly did as well, and Ben?... He was certain that if Ben was still around, he'd probably love her like a daughter, and she would return the sentiment full force. Maybe in another life.
He then heard sirens in the near distance, as well as cop cars driving right below him. 'Show time!' and with that he swung towards the sound of the sirens. He also managed to get directions from the radio in his mask. The lens even pointed him in the direction of the radio waves as well so that was also a nice feature. Loona's suggestion at that.
After swinging for a bit, he had finally reached the scene and it wasn't a real pretty one. It was a shootout with both sides returning fire whenever they could.
'I have to stop this before anyone gets hurt.' He then swung onto the action.
"It's Spider-Man, shoot him!" One of the criminals yelled out as they began to focus their fire onto him.
"Come on guys, can't we talk this out? You know, with you in a prison cell?" He quipped as he dodged their bullets. He managed to shoot out a line of webbing towards one of their guns and as it made contact, he managed to swiftly pull it away leaving them defenseless. He then proceeded to do the same for the rest of the gang.
They then decided to surround him as Peter just looked at them with a deadpan stare. "Now I'm glad I never had any older brothers. You guys are way too mean to lil ol me!"
Peter then jumped up in the air as he began to rapidly turn while also shooting out multiple web shots, He had managed to find a name for this move, Web Blossom. The criminals were then stuck the to the concrete below them.
"Looks like you guys are in a bit of a sticky situation." He smiled under his mask as he waved to the officers before swinging away. All in another day's work. Maybe he should come up with a plan that takes the weapons of the people he fights? Maybe one day.
He spent the rest of the day mainly chasing down criminals, saving people from fires, etc. All in all, it was a semi-decent day. Other than the slander from the city but that was something he accepted. Sort of, but he just shoved it into the back of his mind. No point in thinking about it. It was now the middle of the night when he had finally returned to his apartment.
He landed gracefully on the balcony and as he looked inside, he could see Loona messing around with her guitar. He smiled at the sight as he debated as he just wanted to stare at her for a few more moments but decided against it as he really didn't feel like being labeled as a creep, especially when he was in in Spider-Man suit.
He could already see the headlines now from the bugle, 'SPIDER-MAN LOCAL PEEPING TOM' Peter couldn't help but shiver a bit. He then shook his head as he made his way inside.
"Hey Loona." He greeted as he walked over to her. Loona then looked up from her guitar and her face immediately lit up as she saw her mate, her tail even started to wag as well. 'That is definitely adorable!' Peter couldn't help but gush over her.
"If it isn't my friendly neighborhood hottie, here to web me up?" She teased as she licked her lips. Peter couldn't help but turn red at her flirtatious advances. She then stood up as she wrapped her arms around him, she then looked down at him with a smirk. Welp that solidified it, he had a fetish for tall, assertive women.
Loona then leaned down and planted a kiss on his head as she held him close to her. "Everything go alright today?" She looked scanned him for any cuts, bruises, or wounds but was immediately relieved when she didn't find any.
"Nothing I couldn't handle, and you know me. I can handle anything, even a guy made of pure electricity or even a guy made entirely of sand! Well, a substance like sand anyways." He grinned as he was finally able to take off his mask. This in turn made Loona shower him with kisses as soon as he did, and boy did he love every minute of it.
"What's got you all happy today?" Peter questioned as he kissed her right back while also giving out a slight chuckle. She stopped and looked back at him with a smile.
"I'm just glad to see that you're okay is all!" She beamed even more as she continued her barrage. Peter leaned into her as well as the exhaustion finally hit him. Sure, he could fight for days on end if he had to but that didn't mean he couldn't get tired either.
Loona felt Peter put some of his weight onto her as she helped lead him to the bed, she then watched as he began to undress himself which caused him to promptly cough.
"Don't mind me babe, just checking out the goods." She couldn't help but tease him. Once he was done, he put on some shorts and a plain white T-shirt before laying down on their bed. Loona also then began to undress herself as well. She then changed into her human form as well. Once she was done, she only had her black panties as well as her grey bra on.
She then laid down beside Peter as both cuddled up to one another. Loona dug her head into his chest and Peter put his head above hers as their legs intertwined under the covers. "It's weird for us to go to bed this early ya know?" Peter commented.
"Babe, it's already twelve in the morning. If anything, we should already be asleep by now." She whispered in response as she snuggled up even closer to him.
"Funny coming from you honey." Peter snickered as he felt an immediate fist on his chest. He always found it adorable when she was angry or slightly annoyed.
"Coming from the guy who when we first started dating wouldn't sleep unless I forced him to? Or rather who wouldn't sleep unless I had to threaten him with no fucking for a month." She countered with a smirk.
"I plead the fifth."
"That's right." He has yet to win an argument against her, he had a better chance of winning against the Sinister Six than against Loona. 'One day Peter, one day.'
Peter than began to caress her hair as they both began to finally fall asleep. "Goodnight my moon, I love you." He whispered sweetly to her as she began to whisper back.
"I love you too, my dumbass of a boyfriend." He just slightly smiled at the comment as sleep finally began to take hold, and after a few moments the soft breathing of the two lovebirds could be heard. For tomorrow was a new day, and with each new day comes either great promise, or great disaster.
Preview...
Miles, Millie, Moxxie, Blitz, and Loona could only stare at the monstrosity before them. Its black skin blended in with the darkness surrounding it, it even rivaled Stolas in height! No...It surpassed him! It also had large, sharpened teeth with claws that could cut straight through a normal person or even a demon. It had a large white spider emblem on its chest as the legs of the emblem stretched all the way into its back. What was even worse is that it looked like Peter, but more horrific. Right from the lenses to its entire body.
"What is this monster?..." Miles asked as they all began to back up slowly. Blitz and Moxxie kept their pistols aimed at the creature as Millie and Loona also aimed their own guns at it. Miles just got into a fighting stance. The creature just smiled sinisterly as it slowly started to walk towards them. They all stiffened as they felt a huge amount of fear running down their backs as they all stared at it.
"Monster?...No...I am something...much..much...worse...I...Am...VENOM!" It then lunged at all of them as they all began to fight for their lives.
Hope you guys liked that preview and if it didn't make sense dialogue wise, well it wasn't supposed to. I decided to cut some of the conversation and actually implement it once we get to that chapter. Once again sorry for taking so long with this beginning chapter. College and work are total pains right now but don't worry I will finish this story. As you all can tell, Venom will be the major antagonist for this story, and he will be their toughest challenge. Anyways thank you guys for the support, it means so much to me! So please continue to like, comment, and share. I hope you guys have a great rest of your day, be good poeple!
