Spiderman was once again chasing after Screwball
"I swear, when I catch you I'm going to rip your wings off" Spiderman said before he's spider sense went off, "WHOA!" he shouted dodging a small missile. "What was that?"
"Hey spider!" a voice shouted
"Okay so who is this clown?" Spiderman said
"Nice to meet you, I'm Mac Gargan" he said
"Um, okay why are you telling me that?" Spiderman asked
"Because I thought it would be polite to introduce myself but I kick you backside" Mac said
"Sure thing" Spiderman said webswinging away "I'm low on webbing"
Once Spiderman reached the lab and grabbed some more web fluid before he turned to the computer and accessed it while removing his mask
"Computer search for Mac Gargan" Peter said
"Macdonald Richard Gargan, born sometimes in the 1980s, he joined SHIELD's frontline peacekeeper unit until he was kicked out for blackmailing several wealthy families for 'protection money' eventually he became mercenary working for several criminal outfits including the Maggia, Kingpin, Tombstone, Crime Master and the Big Man" a voice said shocking Peter who looked behind him and gulped "So nice to finally meet you...Spiderman, your father talked about you a lot. You look just like him" the voice said
"And you are?" Peter asked setting his shooters to impact mode
"Nick Fury, director of SHIELD" Fury said walking into the light
"Nope, not happening" Peter said
"Excuse me?" Fury said shocked
"I mean, why would SHIELD know about me, and know who I am" Peter said
"Your dad worked for us, he was one of best and brightest scientists, also you're using the work he did for an experiment project" Nick said
"And that was?" Peter asked
"An attempt at the Super Soldier that created Captain America. We decided to shop around for someone to make the serum but decided to develop the tech for this new super soldier in house, so we approached your father to work for us. He agreed and thus Parker Laboratories was born. Of course the serum attempts were a failure so we shut them down and most of them agreed. All but one; this one was trying to use Spider DNA in conjunction with the serum. Of course it was mostly a failure except for you; so we decided to keep an eye on you just in case you started to go rogue which you didn't and I think I know why" Fury said
"My Uncle Ben" Peter said looking down
"I had the pleasure of meeting him once and I have to say he was the very definition of a good man" Fury said
"So why now?" Peter asked "Why not when I was facing Mysterio"
"Please, Mysterio is a two bit illusionist even if he does have magical powers" Fury said
"Wait, wait, wait, wait he has magical powers?" Peter asked
"Yeah he has limited knowledge on the same type of magic that Dr Strange uses" Fury said
"What about Frank Castle then?" Peter asked
"Like he would do anything to do beside force steak down your throat" Fury snorted
"Screwball?" Peter asked
"She's not even on our RADAR" Fury said
"I've had to deal with that nutball five time in the past month or so" Peter said
"We understand that but she is just another attention hound, to put it nicely" Fury said
"Okay" Peter said "But why now?"
"Like I said Gargan was former SHIELD, and when he was at SHIELD he stole something" Fury said
"And that was?" Peter asked
"A prototype exo-skeleton" Fury said
"Well that's just great, now I've got an ex-SHIELD agent after me with an exo-skeleton that he stole, great it can't get any worse" Spiderman said as he swung around town, "So how do I draw him out?" he asked while landing on a roof
"You can try calling" a sultry voice said as they laying on the roof Spiderman landed on was Black Cat enjoying the sunlight with her suit unzipped all the way to her waist "So what's up Spider, did you miss me?" she said sitting up while zipping her suit up so the zipper sat snugly under her bust
"We have got to stop meeting this way" Spiderman said
"I know, well you could always call me, but that would mean we need to reveal our identities to each other and I don't know if that will do for you" she said
"Do you ever wear a bra with that thing?" Spiderman asked blushing under his mask
"Yes and no, I stitched a bra into the inner lining" Black Cat said
"Interesting, never mind that, and how am I suppose to call him out?" Spiderman asked
"I don't know" Black Cat said shrugging
"Cat" Spiderman groaned
"What, I have no idea!" she said "So who is this guy?"
"Someone who stole some serious tech" Spiderman said
"So who exactly" Black Cat said
"You can call me the Scorpion!" a new voice said making the two look over to where it originated from
"What is that?" Black Cat asked shocked
Mac Gargan had shown up wearing a green high tech suit with his helmet resembling that of a scorpion's head, clawed gloves and a massive scorpion tail on his back
"Are you happy to see us, or is that a tail?" Spiderman said
"Really?" Black Cat said
"I quip when I'm nervous" Spiderman said before they had to dodge a glob of green liquid which quickly ate through the roof
"What is that?" Black Cat asked
"Oh just a little acid I whipped in my spare time, you see this sting has four settings, poison, acid, blade and laser. That was the acid setting" Scorpion chuckled
"That's some crazy acid" Black Cat said
"And its potentially worse than Hydrochloric acid" Spiderman said "Maybe even Hydrofluoric acid"
"How bad is that?" Black Cat asked
"Pretty bad" Spiderman said "Come on we'll head to my lab" he said quietly
"Okay" Black Cat said as the two was about to jump when some of Scorpion's acid splashed Black Cat's leg causing her to miss the up
"CAT!" Spiderman shouted diving after her, catching her and swinging off.
"My leg, it burns" she groaned
"Okay hold on" Spiderman said before getting her out of there.
"On the bed, easy now" Spiderman said before he examined the wound. "This isn't good"
"Will it leave a mark?" Black Cat panicked
"Hold on, computer scan substance ASAP!" Spiderman said as a scanner appeared and started scanning Black Cat's wound. Spiderman quickly removed his mask so he could focus on the screen, not caring if Black Cat saw who he was. Her life was in danger "where did he get this from?"
"Match found, substance is called Stinger acid and was made to dissolve stone and steel, audio file found" the computer
"Play the file" Peter said
"Stinger acid, the idiot who made this should be locked up since this stuff is dangerous, one splash or drop on human skin and it will slowly burn through it. Seriously I would like to get my hands on the moron who made it, anyway I was able to make a counter-measure to it, just in case things get out of hands and someone runs a fowl of this stuff. I have given my recommendation to SHIELD to grab any and all traces of this stuff and lock them away, but that would make things worse since that would lead to someone being able to use it for a type of weapon, and I can't allow that to happen" the audio file of Richard Parker said
'Computer give me the countermeasure" Peter said pulling on his mask as a small canister, which he grabbed and spray on Black Cat's wound making the acid stop
"The countermeasure will also help healing the affect area" the computer said
"Good" Spiderman said "Now how to handle Scorpion?" he asked
"Ugh, what happened?" Black Cat asked
"Scorpion's acid splashed on your leg and I brought you back here to treat your wound" Spiderman said
"Thanks, so anyway what's the plan?" Black Cat asked
"I'm not sure, he's gotten something really dangerous" Spiderman said
"What is that?" Black Cat asked
"The acid, but not only that he properly has some other dangerous gadgets in his tail's stinger" Spiderman asked
"So how are you going to beat that?" Black Cat said
"I'm working on a new type of web ammo" Spiderman said
"what will it do?" Black Cat said
"That's a secret, but it should help" Spiderman said
"So how are we going to find him?" Black Cat asked
"Don't worry I managed to place a tracer on him, so we'll be able to track him" Spiderman said
"Okay so where is he?" Black Cat asked
"Daily Bugle Plaza, which is not good" Spiderman said
"What why?" Black Cat asked
"Because its only five minutes away from here" Spiderman said
"that's not good" Black Cat said
"Come on" Spiderman shouted
J Jonah Jameson was in his office with a glass of spirits
"What's up boss?" Betty asked
"Something is up with how Parker gets his photos" JJ said looking at a few of them
"Maybe he got lucky" Betty said
"I don't know, so all I could know he is this Spiderman" JJ said
"So what don't you like about him?" Eddie said leaning against the wall
"What makes you think I hate him?" JJ said
"Those" Eddie said pointing to various headlines saying that Spiderman was a threat and was in cahoots with various villains
"Why else would he wear a mask?" Jonah asked
"To protect those he loves" Eddie said "So why do you really hate him?"
"I don't know. It changes" JJ says as he looked down into the plaza seeing a figure in green attacking
"Jonah?" Betty asked concerned
"Eddie, get the police" Jonah said
"What why?" Eddie asked
"Someone's attacking the plaza" Jonah said
"Got it" Eddie shouted running out before grabbing his phone and dialling the police
"Okay so how are we going to get big and green away from the people?" Felicia said donning her normal clothes
"We're not doing anything, I'm facing him" Spiderman said
"What?" Felicia asked "How come?"
"Because you're still recovering, besides if he doesn't see Black Cat then he won't attack you while you're getting the civilians out of the way" Spiderman said
"Okay then" Felicia said pulling out a small handgun and ran to the side while Spiderman swung out just in time to save a little kid from Scorpion
"So the spider finally shows up huh?" Scorpion asked
"Okay Scorpie, why are you attacking the Bugle?" Spiderman asked
"Why not, it was the easiest way to get you out into the open" he laughed
"Oh mama" Spiderman said before ducking the tail.
"Time for some nice hot acid" Scorpion hissed as he switched his stinger to its acid shooter and fired some at Spiderman, who leapt back to avoid it before switching to his new webbing type on the acid countering it "What, how did you do that?"
"I found the counter to your acid" Spiderman said
"So, you've got access to the SHIELD database" Scorpion said "Which means you know Fury"
"why the gripe against him, when you became a merc?" Spiderman asked
"Because he kicked me out of the organisation" Scorpion said "Said I was mentally unstable" he laughed
"I can see that" Spiderman said before he dodged more acid while countering until the cartage clicked to his normal webbing, Scorpion smirked upon hearing this and tried to fire some more acid at Spiderman, only to have nothing come out, so he growled and opened the stinger up allowing him to switch the stinger's function, it also allowed Spiderman to see the mechanism as well, so he fired a web strain into the mechanism jamming it.
"NO!" Scorpion said as he closed the stinger again before drawing out a curved knife and placed it on the stinger "I guess I'll take you down with this" he said using his stinger to stab at Spiderman who kept dodging it thanks to his spider sense, but sometimes it was a narrow missed for Spiderman
'I have to make sure he can't use his tail, but how?' he asked before he came up with an idea. "Over here bug"
"Oh that's it, I'm an arachnid just you moron" Scorpion said
"So you are" Spiderman said as he leapt over Scorpion "But I'm smarter then you" he said shooting web at him,
"WHAT!" Scorpion shouted as he tried stabbing Peter with his tail again, only for it to be stabbed into the ground, giving Spiderman just enough time to web it to the ground and then leaping onto the villain's back and saw where the tail was linked onto the back
"That looks important" Spiderman said firing to webs on the base of the tail and ripped up out of the socket before throwing it away, to which Black Cat jumped into the fray and grabbed the tail with her grappling hook, swinging it around to smack Scorpion in the face with it before Spiderman landed and threw an uppercut under Scorpion's chin launching him into the air
"Shall we?" Black Cat asked
"Let's" Spiderman said as the pair grabbed Scorpion's legs and smashed him into the ground
"3...2...1...And he's down for the count" Black Cat said as Spiderman webbed him up
"Yeah he is" Spiderman said before a couple of SHIELD agents showed up to take him in
"thanks Spiderman we'll take it from here" one of the agents said
"no problem" Spiderman said
"So what now?" Black Cat asked
"Simple, we chill until the next villain arrives" Spiderman said
"Okay, but first" she said placing a small kiss on his cheek.
"Wow" Spiderman said blushing
"Who knows, it might be even better next time" she winked before skipping off happily
"I can dig that" Spiderman said, what Spiderman didn't see was that Eddie Brock had captured the fight and the kiss with a small camera
"I wonder where Peter is" he said "oh well, he's going to flip when he sees these" he said
G'day Guys Grizz here with a new chapter, one I had already written up (I'm currently writing chapter 11 as of this posting) because I had the chance to see Spiderman Far From Home which was really good; I recommend you go see it but be careful since there are some really emotionally heavy hitting scenes
Now onto the chapter which see the Scorpion who was a former SHIELD agent instead of a private investigator which leads to Nick Fury showing up to help out while giving some history to things I've already set up plus another Black Cat appearance maybe seeing Peter's true identity maybe, plus we have a moment with J Jonah Jameson and why he may dislike Spiderman
Now I want to should out two good Spiderman fics I've been reading lately conholio4's Marvel Earth 2: Spider-Man and Mrotrax's Spider of the Rangers, so if you want to check those out you can trust me you'll enjoy them and until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
