Alien Attack
"So what is it, boss?" Peter asked as he watched Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron-man load the egg into an x-ray and all purpose scanner.
"I don't know, Peter," Tony replied. "Give me some time."
The screen on the side of the scanner blinked on displaying an image of the egg's insides. Not surprisingly one of the crab things was curled up inside the egg.
"So where did you find this thing?" Tony asked.
"In some building, I guess some scientists were experimenting or studying them," Peter explained. Peter reached up and pointed out the crab thing. "Anyways those things hatched out of them and attached themselves to the researchers' faces. They knocked them unconscious somehow. I have no idea what for though."
"Alright, I'll see what I can find out," Tony said.
"All right, see you," Peter said, leaving the room.
------------------------------------
"So did you find Venom?" Mary Jane asked as Peter entered their bedroom. She was sitting on the bed.
"Yeah."
"And how did it go?" She asked.
"About what you'd expect," Peter said, rubbing one of his bruises.
"Did you get him?" Mary Jane asked sounding somewhat frightened.
"Um, sort of," Peter said sitting next to her. "I had the advantage for a while, then he turned the tables. Fortunately, something interfered."
"What was it?" Mary Jane asked curiously.
Peter hesitated. "I don't know. Tony is examining it right now."
"It?"
----------------------------------
(At a waterfront warehouse.)
The warehouse employee blinked his eyes open and glanced around. The warehouse had gone dark. He tried to move and found that he was stuck to the wall, held in place by some sort of cocoon.
He glanced around in fright and saw something that frightened him more. Suspended from the ceiling by the same substance that held him to the wall was a massive skeletal reptile insect like creature. An ornate crest swept from the back of its head, which lacked eyes.
The egg sack extending from under the Queen's tail was massive. The yellow membrane pulsed and deposited an egg on the floor. The worker's eyes widened in panic.
Another one of the eggs, situated near him began to open. The pale crab slowly crawled out of the egg and then turned and faced him. His scream woke the other captured workers as it lunged at him.
------------------------------------------
Peter found himself restless that night and so he donned his spider costume and left for a swing through the city.
Approaching the river he heard a scream. Glancing down he saw a women being hauled down the street by a… Well, it wasn't human.
Releasing his web line, he dropped toward the pavement. He shot another web just before he hit the pavement and swung feet first into the inhuman creature. The monster was temporarily stunned and that gave Spider-man time to grab the woman away from it and tell her to run for it.
Peter looked at the creature appraisingly. It was jet black and looked carnivorous, judging by the metallic fangs. It's stinger tipped tail waved about restlessly.
Crouching the creature lunged forward. Spider-man reacted and caught the creature's wrists. The alien lunged its head forward and its tongue, which was equipped with a set of jaws, shot out at Spider-man's face.
Spider-man swung around and released the creature sending it flying across the street and into a car. The car's alarm blared as the monster pulled itself off the hood.
Spider-man relaxed his fighting pose and asked. "I don't suppose you can be reasoned with?"
The alien hissed in reply. Lowering its head and charging on all fours the alien advanced. Spider-man jumped and grabbed its tail as he sailed over it. He then swung the alien over his head and face first into the concrete.
Spider-man stepped back as the alien got back to its feet. A stream of green liquid was now slowly dripping down its mouth.
The alien made its move. Its tail shot up so fast, Spider-man barely managed to dodge it. The alien then slashed and its claws connected with his chest, drawing blood.
"Yeow!" Spidey cried as he jumped into the air and landed on the building wall behind him.
"All right, if you can't play nice, you aren't going to play at all," Spider-man lunched a strand of webbing.
The alien hissed and broke free of the webbing. It advanced and to Spider-man's astonishment scaled the wall. Spider-man jumped back to the street. He turned and lunched another web line at the alien and with a sharp yank, pulled it off the wall.
The alien twisted its body and landed on its feet.
"This is too easy," Spider-man said. "I bet I could take five more of you." The blaring of his Spider-sense distracted him from any farther puns and he leapt out of the way of another set of claws.
Turning in mid-air, Spider-man saw five more of the aliens. He landed on the street and had only enough time to say, "I don't suppose you come in peace?" before the aliens all charged.
