I guess I must be insane. If insanity is defined as being different being different in any way from the norm in thinking, I fit the bill. What I don't find though is that how can insanity be defined that since everybody has their own thoughts about what is normal. I guess maybe in that aspect I am normal. Then if that's true, what do we call the mentally disturbed…
Insanity In Blood
Traffic was murder in New York. "My god, how can there be so many people. How can traffic go so…slo…there…" Finding a nice spot he slammed on the gas to get into a paring garage. After paying the fee, Chris walked out and into the crowd, disappearing among the faces of the city.
Suddenly there was a rush of oohs and awes as from above a small flying vehicle slammed across the sky with a 4 symbol etched in it's side. "The Fantastic Four…" Chris smiled. "Now this is just too good for words." "Chris, remember, your going to have a lot of work to do tomorrow so get this finished…" Chris wasn't listening thoughts as he looked to the skies for a glance of Spider-Man or Daredevil or something like that.
"Someone stop that…" Chris raised an arm out straight and intercepted the guy running away with a woman's purse. The thief hit the ground, hard. "…man?" Chris smirks and continued down the street. The people didn't even take a second look as he melded back in to the crowd.
"Chris, you need to hide this more. You're going to have suspicion beginning if people see you constantly saving the day. You need to be more cautious on your heroics." Chris laughed startling several people as he walked away from the growing crowd over the unconscious body. "Looks who's telling me to be quiet Mr. Goes out with a bang." "That was different, I was dead, and you have a life to live."
" I don't even understand why I have to hide it. If there's trouble, no matter what I should try to help the best and fastest way I can no matter who sees it." " I know but that's just the way it. If this happens constantly enough people will be coming from miles around asking for help while something more important may need your assistance like a worldwide apocalypse or something like that."
"Fine fine fine. Have it your way. Who came up with that stupid rule anyways Obi wan." "It's been the rules every since I started and I was able to follow them perfectly loud and clear. I've been around longer then you and…" Suddenly a body of a police office is slammed back into an oncoming car. Turning around Chris stood face to face with one of the people he did not want to meet in this universe.
"Hi ya." The sharp red grin and large white eyes of the cold murderer. His blood red symbiote swirled around his body giving off a rather sleep and slimy appearance. "I'm carnage and I'll be your murderer tonight. Any last requests, I have a lovely signing voice." Chris stood there like a deer caught in the headlights. One of the worst fears he ever had was standing right in front of him in hot flesh and blood. He couldn't reveal himself though.
"What no requests, I guess you'll be my next victim then just to lure that Spider. I have a surprise for him." Cassidy moved his talon hand back. "Wait, I have one request." "What are you doing, your going to reveal everything…" Shut up Alex, this is my life and I'll live it the way I want to, and anyways, could you think of another way of getting out of this one? Chris thought sharply.
"I want to see the real face of my killer before I die." Cassidy laughed. "Good sport." His symbiote over his face divided into two and melted off. "How's this?" "Perfect…"Chris did a round house kick to Cassidy's face throwing him back in to the way. Onlookers were startled as well as police who's guns were aimed at the cold blooded killed. "That wasn't nice kid. I'm going to have to get a fire going because when I'm done with you, I'll have the shrimp for my kabob."
Carnage then launched a hundred spikes of sharp symbiote pieces at Chris. Not wanting them to go though him this time, Chris increased his strength and power to a point where when he crossed his arms over his face, the spikes bounced off. Looking down his smiles a silly smile of relief. "That actually worked." He then looked up to give Carnage a grin. "What!!!"
"Bad luck Carny, you picked the wrong shrimp to shish kabob. Now, want some more?" "Sure why not." Not expecting that answer, Chris was startled when he rushed forward and with his right arm shaped into a bloody axe, he slashed straight at Chris's head. Flipping back, Chris dodged another few ferocious attacks and slashes until he got up the nerve to actually catch the blade between his two hands. "Nice one wonder boy…"
Suddenly the axe crumbled in his hands as Chris saw Cassidy move his arm in for an attack, his knuckles with foot long spikes on them. Closing his eyes getting ready for a hit, he opened them when nothing came. The world around them was frozen in time. Chris smiled and moved behind Cassidy and put his foot out, tripping Cassidy when he started time up again.
What he didn't expect was Cassidy catching him with a tentacle and wiping him into a police car. "Ow. I didn't think this hurt that badly. Moving out of the wreckage he took off his glasses revealing the glowing blue eyes. "That's it, playtimes over Carnage." Carnage laughed his insane, sadistic laugh.. Suddenly Carnage found himself slammed into a wall, making an imprint and destroying the bricks. Chris slowly walked up to him.
"What are you, your stronger then the Spider." Chris smirked. "I know, but who I am isn't import, tell your friends, a new player's entered the game, and I cheat." Chris backhands Carnage taking him out of the game. "Gamed over, you lost, lets play again sometime ok?"
Chris turned around to the opened mouthed police and audience. "Uh, I eat my Wheates." Chris smiled weakly just as the reporters got there. "Damn not again…" With that little comment, Chris ran off into the dark alley next to where he knocked out Cassidy and teleported to the roof. Watching frpom above he could actually see Spider-Man swing in and just about wall from his ledge after seeing Carnage so easily taken care of.
"Well I hope your proud of yourself. You're going to be on…" "Ask me if I care. I think I'll go this on alone from now on. I believe I got it covered." Alex's reply was not what he expected. It was a full force laugh. "You've got it, it wasn't my decision to make but rather another test. It seems you understand that I've taught you as much as you need to know. I'll be leaving now but call me up sometime, you can do that you know to anyone who sided, I'll be in touch."
With that Chris felt the consciousness drain from his head and Chris took a moment to steady himself. "Guess I'm on my own now. So what's next…" Turning around he stood face to face with Nick Fury. "I saw what you did son, and your government needs you…"
Chris opened his mouth but the only words that popped out were, "Damn it…"
