Chapter 3:Darkness in the Light

"A wanderer?" asked the Scarlet spider, he was more confused than ever, first he was in New York, then he finds himself in Los Angeles, "I must be dreaming, I mean seriously you expect me to believe that you found me in the street?? You truly must be out of your mind kid."

"I don't expect you to believe jack shit, I told you what I know, and that's all" replied Vega irritated, he had been repeating himself for nearly an hour, ever since Scarlet had woken up.

"Look just relax, all right. All I wanna know is how I got here, and how do I return home," said Scarlet, he was tired of the conversation going nowhere, all he asked for was answers and this kid didn't seem to have any.

"Well like I told you, I was involved in an incident, things got out of hand, as I fled I found your body, unconscious then I came all the way back here," said Vega for what seemed like the millionth time.

As Scarlet looked once more around the room, he noticed that there weren't many lights on, it creeped him out a lot,. What's with all the darkness, he thought, it kinda eerie just standing here in the only piece of light. In an instant all the lights turned on, what the fuck??!!

"Don't worry I can't read minds, it just that its human nature to fear the darkness, and I presume your a human, aren't you?" said Vega with a chuckle, "it's just not my nature to be in the light, and no I'm not a mutant either."

"Um, OK cool then. Look I'm the Scarlet Spider, sorry for the late introduction its just that-"said Scarlet before he was cut off.

"you had questions that you needed answering, there I go again, my bad its just that your my hero ever since I saw you in the Daily Bugle. I mean don't get me wrong Spider-man is great, but you just seemed to do things your way, differently, and I admire that," Vega said quietly, he was staring at the ground.

"I never knew that they ran the Daily Bugle all the way out here," said Scarlet grinning behind his mask, Damn this kid is so calm and collected, short tempered, yes, but calm none the less he thought.

"They don't, my FORMER employer lived in New York, I guess you can say Spider-man is his enemy," replied Vega with a grin, "he always brought a copy of the Daily Bugle with him, but I never bothered to ask him why."

"Who was your former employer?" asked Scarlet curiously, I wonder who it could possibly be, he thought.

"The Kingpin," he responded casually, "hey you hungry?? I can go and bring some food if you like, I don't know when was the last time you ate anything."

"THE KINGPING??!!" he yelled.

"Relax, all right, it's no big deal, now you hungry or not??!!" Vega said sharply.

"Yeah, um can you go to McDonalds and pick me up a number 2," Scarlet replied, he realized that he was starving.

"No problem, I'll be back," Vega replied, and with that he pulled on his hood, he then stepped in the only part of the room that was dark and vanished.

"What the fuck??!!" said the Scarlet Spider, "that kid is really weird, but its a good thing he left, I need to take this mask off," and with that his mask was off, it revealed his brown hair, and his honey brown eyes, he looked exactly like Peter Parker but he had a black streak rounding his head, "that's better."

Vega stepped out of the shadows a few blocks away from a McDonalds, I guess I'll take a walk, he thought, what he didn't see was David going to the same McDonalds Vega was going to.

"Yeah I'll take a number 1 with no pickles, and a large coke," said David, I wonder whatever happened to that kid, he thought, just then Vega walked in.

"Hey aren't you the reporter guy that's gone missing??!" asked the guy behind the register.

"Yeah but I'm not missing, now can I please get my order to go?" replied David harshly.

"OK relax guy," said the cashier.

As Vega walked in David recognized him immediately, What the hell is that kid doing here doesn't he realize that every cop in LA is looking for him?? Thought David.

"Hey kid," said David as casually as possible.

"Huh, who the hell are you??!!" replied Vega defensively, he wasn't in moods for games.

"Its me the reporter, what are you doing outside, haven't you seen the news," David's tone seemed desperate.

"Look I don't give a damn who's after me, all right, now mind your own damn business," said Vega, and with that he walked up to the counter and ordered "can I get a number 2 with a hi c please"

"Look out after your self kid," said David under his breathe, as he walked out.

As soon as Vega had his order, he walked to the shadows, and with a blink of an eye he was gone. As he walked in to his hide out he saw Scarlet with out his mask.

"Never knew a hero would remove his mask in unknown territory," he said mockingly.

"What the hell??!!" replied Scarlet.
