Chapter 2

A Spiders Web

"Ladies and Gentlemen what we have just seen was no set up, we have lost one of the best camera man in this business, our star reporter seems to be missing, and this ruthless thug, murdered in cold blood. All these losses seem to point to one person, the stranger this thug was fighting, we will keep you up dated as this story unfolds, for J7 news this is Steve Stratton reporting live from the Wyatt Center." Blared the TV, David had just gotten home a moments before, as he looked around his single bedroom apartment, it had seemed like a really bad dream. Questions began to swirl in his head, the Scarlet Spider alive, a strange kid with even stranger powers, his best friend since he had gotten the job at J7 had been murdered, all these emotions overwhelmed him as he fell to a deep sleep. It was still raining like a bitch.

As Vega/ Scarlet Spider stumbled into Vega's hideout, Vega was extremely weak, he put the body he was in and fell asleep, his own body separated from Scarlet's and he hit the ground with a giant thud.

New York City

Peter was running late to Professor's Connor's class, yet again, being New York's City hero and villain had take its toll on Peter, and MJ was already making wedding plans, just one problem atop of the other. Peter sighed as he boarded the bus, Another day, the city seems pretty quite, I wonder if I can take a break from all this, as he looked at the people that were on the bus he noticed Flash, his old tormentor.

"Hey Peter," said Flash with a smile, he looked like he hadn't slept for weeks, "I was wondering if you could give Spider-man this note for me"

"Hey Flash," responded Peter, "a note??"

"Yeah, its just that , well my girlfriend's little sister is dying and she really admires Spider-man, like me, so she asked me if I knew Peter Parker and I said yes, so she asked me to ask you to deliver this letter to Spider- man," he told Peter, with a couple of tears rolling down his cheeks .

"I'll see what I can do," said Peter, not able to look at Flash in the eye.

"Thanks Peter, it would mean a lot if he could see her," and with that Flash left.

Fist I need to get to the professor's class before he kills me, thought Peter as he looked at his watch, Flash has changed a lot since high school, looks like his girlfriend soften him up wonder if their going to get married.

As Peter got off the bus, his spider sense went off, he took a leap back, the bus had almost been hit, What the fuck?? Who the hell would wreck havoc this early in the damn day, he thought as he went running to an alley. He took of his street clothes to reveal his Spider-man costume underneath, he slipped on his web shooters, added some web cartridges, and pulled his mask on. As he leaped from the alley to a near by building, another explosion went off.

"Come out and play," called out Spider-man.

"I think its time for you to pay for all the trips you've given me to prison, web head" called out a voice from a roof top.

"Well Shocker, if I knew you wanted to meet me I would have dressed up," replied Spider-man as he flew through the air, landing at a building next to Shocker.

"Take this," said the Shocker, as the thrusted his arms forward, sending a shockwave to Spider-man, his instincts already acting upon action he dodge the blast.

"Come on, Quilts, I know you can do better than that," replied Spider-man with a chuckle, then out of nowhere he shot a strand of webbing to the Shockers legs, "you know what they say Shocker, the bigger your mouth the harder the punch," and with that he pulled the Shocker to his face and punched him straight in the nose.

"You piece of shit," roared the Shocker, then he threw a punch, but missed Spider-man, and he hit the ground hard, his mask was all bloody.

"Well Shocker, as much as I love our reunions this one will have to be cut short, I got places to go and people to save," and with that he started webbing the Shocker.

"I'll get you, you fucking freak, just as soon as I find out your ide-" and with that said Spider-man webbed his mouth off.

"Don't you ever shut the fuck up??" said Spider-man, and with that he was off, Well no point in going to Connor's now, I guess I'll get the big lecture next week about being responsible, again, he thought as he was web sling through the city, I wonder if MJ is home.

Los Angeles

As the Scarlet Spider got up he looked around his surroundings he saw what he thought had once been a laboratory, he saw a lot of Daily Bugle clippings, some seemed to be years old , and some seem to have been recently, he saw a lot of Spider-man articles, and even more of the Scarlet Spider.

"Where am I," he thought out loud, without realizing it.

"You my friend are in the city of angels," responded a voice from the shadows, "am I am Vega, a wanderer."
