Mary Jane Watson was sitting on her bed, scanning each and every newscast for updates on the Fantastic Four. Peter thought Johnny Storm was a publicized pretty boy, but still Spider-Man and he were pals.
Mary Jane started biting her fingernails, a bad habit she had when she got nervous. Peter was facing Carnage and Venom at the same time. This was totally not cool. Peter could handle it, though. He handled the Sinister Six when they were around. But this was different. This was two symbiotic, crazed killing machines and a retarded power plant.
And it wasn't the retarded power plant she was worried about.
Finally something flickered on channel five. It was showing the hotheaded Human Torch battling it off in the sky with Electro. Electro can fly? I didn't know that. Wait...he's not. He's pushing himself off the ground with the energy coming out of his hands...must be a cool way to get around.
The Thing was tied up with Venom, who was only a tad shorter. And Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman were trying to get Carnage under control. They could use some help anytime now.
Wait...Spider-Man! Oh god, there he is!
Spider-Man had appeared at the scene with a dramatic lead, landing right on top of Venom.
"Hey, Eddie! Did I drop by at a bad time?" His voice said through the speakers. Venom didn't respond. He just attacked.
Mary Jane could remember when she knew Eddie Brock...the real Eddie. He was once Peter's rival photographer. He was once a friend, if you could call it that, of Peters.
But no more was he Eddie Brock. He was Venom. And Venom hated Spider-Man with every inch of his empty soul.
Spider-Man was bouncing back between the two symbiotes, trying to help everyone. He would start punching each one a random number of times until he had to help the other member of the FF.
"Glad you could come." Mr. Fantastic said, whacking Carnage with an extended arm.
"Really? I'm not." Spider-Man responded, kicking Venom in the face in mid air, then flipping over Carnage to give him a smack in the face.
"Over here!" The Human Torch yelled, throwing fire balls at Electro's stupid face.
Spider-Man raced over, jumping on top of Carnage again to gain some extra height. He landed on Electro's back, holding onto him. "Let go of me! Let go of me!" Electro squealed.
Electro started firing random bolts of electricity. Then one hit the news camera. The screen started to flash random colors, then it scribbled in that annoying white, gray and black pattern of static.
The newsroom appeared once again. The anchor with too much blush on and a blonde 'do that made her look fifty said, "We're having some technical difficulties. We will be back to the scene momentarily."
"No duh. Your camera was just hit by a super villain!" She said, changing the channel. Ah, here we go. This was clearer. And it was coming from helicopter. She had a bird's eye view, or whatever they call it.
Mary Jane looked at the screen, analyzing the scene. Wait...why was Spider-Man on the floor?
"Get up! Get up!" She squealed, pounding the bed. "Get up! Come on!" She put her hand over her mouth. "God, Peter...get up..."
