"...Hello MJ? It's me Kylie..."you wait for MJ to respond on the other end. As you stood infront of the movies.
"Hey, Kylie so how is everything going?"
"...Harry hasn't shown up? I've called him, but he didn't pick up. Do you know where he is?"
"That doesn't sound like him, he was really looking forward."
"I know, and it's starting to get cold."
"Do you want me to call him for you?"
"No...it's ok. I'm just worried that's all."
"Ok, do you want to come to my place for the night? You're not that far, I don't know mind coming to get you."
"Yes, that would be good. Thank you MJ."you hang up your phone.
MJ came to pick you up from the movies, you informed your uncle about staying at her place. He was fine with it, since he could find you and knew already where you where going to be. MJ introduced you to her parents, they welcomed you. MJ had a sleeping area set up for you, she gave you spare pj's to wear. After having something to eat and changing into your pj's. You and MJ went to her room, it was really nice. You had never been a real room before, you've seen them in books and on the television but not in real life. It was breath taking to you. MJ saw your reaction, you snapped out of it when you felt her hand on your shoulder. She gives you a smile.
"So welcome to my room, yeah I know there are a lot of newspaper clippings on my wall. Not something the average teen would have."she laughs it off.
You smile at her"No, its lovely."you tell her sincerely.
She was taken back by the way you just responded but she couldn't help but give you a warm smile. Your sweet little answer.
"So what do you want to do?"she asks you.
"I'm not sure really."you tell her shrugging your shoulders.
She laughs to herself, coming over and linking her arms with you"Great then, we'll have a good time."You smile at her nodding your head in a agreement.
Time went by with you and MJ, soon you both fell asleep.
Morning came, your uncle Coulson came to get you with your change of clothes before breakfast. You change thank MJ and her family leave with your uncle. He takes you both to school early, as he opens the doors.
It was so empty without others at school, to bypass your time you just stayed in your uncle's office doing some of your work. As you did your homework the television was on, you paid it no mind until you heard something about a certain wallcrawler. You listen to the news as Johan Jameson who already had a negative attitude towards Spider-Man, was saying how he was taking the law into his own hands. Beating up on criminals, you look and see what he was talking about. You see the person that Spider-Man supposedly beat up. It was Batroc the Leaper, who in critically injured. The bell rang for class to began, you grab things quickly as you leave.
Making your way to study class. You find Harry there, he looked extremely tired. You where slightly surprised, you go over to him. As you gently put a hand on shoulder, he jerks alarmly, which caused you to move back a bit. But you regain yourself.
Harry looks around alarmed, when his eyes land on you. His eyes ease up at the sight of you, when tired guilty rushed over them.
"Awww, Kylie...I'm so sorry."he tells you in a sluggish voice. He just looked terrible, as if he hadn't slept in weeks or months. He didn't look together at all"I-I didn't mean to...I-"he holds his head like had a throbbing headache.
You felt something off with him, but you pushed it back. Placing your soft hand on his trembling ones, you claps them together. He looks at you, you give him a soft comforting smile. He widen eyes slowly started to relax.
"It's ok Harry."you tell him.
He grips your hands tightly for comfort, which you didn't mind. That was what friends where for"Kylie...somethings wrong...I-I don't feel li-ke my...self"he tells you through breaths.
"What do you mean?"you asks him.
His grip on your grows tighter, you didn't know what to do or say. You knew you uncle told you not to use your powers. But at this point you felt like using your telepathy as you felt something off with Harry. Just as you where able too. Peter comes in, he looks at you and Harry before he makes himself known.
"Well something seems amiss here?"Peter tells you both
You turn and see him"Hi Peter"you greet him.
Harry turns to see his best friend"Hey..."
Peter tries his best to block out his boiling feelings inside towards you and Harry."Hey, so you've seen the news lately Harry?"he asks him tired friend.
"What do you mean? I-I don't know what your talking about."Harry becomes slightly frigidity and slightly paranoid looking.
Before Peter said anything else he turns to you"Hey, umm Kylie do you mind giving us some one on one talk?"he tells you as he pushes you away to the otherside of the room. Before you could say anything he goes back to Harry.
You knew something was going on, but you let it be. Taking out your books. School came and went, though after school your uncle Coulson informed you of a "club meeting"you went to the carrier to meet with the others. Though Spider-Man wasn't present, the others where dressed in the hero attire though without their mask on. Everyone was sitting in the meeting room with your uncle Fury holding. Spider-Man came in and the meeting was able to start. Everyone found out that Vemon was back.
"Obviously there is one way to handle this."Fury told everyone"Vemon needs to be taken down, right now, whatever it takes."
"You got it boss, just tell when and where"Luke agrees with him.
"I'll blast that goo boy into next week"Sam agrees as well.
"And what about who is inside it? You're going to blast him too?"Peter comes to the defense of Vemon.
"Him? Is there something you need to tell me?"Fury catches Peter's words.
"Peter?"you question him as well.
Peter was silent for a bit"Ok, I do know"he admits with an attitude"But I'm not telling"
"Some team player"Ava accuses him."Let me at him."
"Hey you can hang me upside down my toenails. I won't tell. I got a thing about secret identities."Peter defends himself.
"That's not the response I'm looking for kid."Fury tells him not happy at all.
"Listen guys let me take another shot at this solo."Peter tries to reason with everyone"I know I can find him and take care of things so nobody get hurts. Nick please?"he pleads with your uncle.
"Sorry can't do it."Fury tells him"This is a serious public threat. All hands on deck, as of now you're all on high alert. The minute you hear something you move."he tells everyone then looks over at Peter"But not you, keeping secrets from your own team is how your playing it. Then your off of the assignment all together."
"Ok Fury, I'll sit this one out"Peter agrees
"Mmmhmm"Fury gives him a suspicious look.
The meeting ended and everyone was dismissed. Everyone went off, you though went to follow Peter.
"Peter"you call to him.
He stops and turns around to you, you meet up with him"Yeah?"
"Peter, whatever burden you have on this matter. Please...please don't carry it yourself. Even if it to protect others. Even if it does involve a close one. Secrets aren't a good thing. So...if you want to tell me. Please, tell me. I'm here for you."you tell him firmly yet concerned as well.
Peter didn't know what to say, he could tell you. With the look you gave him, but he just couldn't not after what happen to weeks ago with Thor. Though this had nothing to do with, just the thought. He knew Venom was much more stronger then before fueled by Harry's dark emotions. Making up his mind, he places his hands on your shoulder, giving you a reassuring smile.
"Nothing to worry about Kylie."he tells you, before you could say anything else, he leaves quickly leaving you standing there in the hall.
The next day, Peter now Spider-Man was stacking out the Oscrop's building. He was sure Venom would be coming here. As he kept his attention on the building he didn't notice you coming behind him. Until he felt your shadow casting over him. He turns around surprised to find you.
"Spider-Man..."you had your arms crossed. He could read your face expression, it was an inscrutable expression one he could not fully read. Looking past the vacant expression of Spider-Man"So Venom is Harry?"
"What?! How did you?!"Spider-Man was surprised by the fact you knew."You won't tell?!"
Paying him no mind for his reaction, you stay focused on the building, when the sound an angerish growl came. Venom. He quickly starts to scale the wall. You waste no time as you follow him, Spider-Man trails behind you.
You both engage Venom in battle, Spider-Man crashes Venom through an underground lab in the building. Others down there including Harry's father Norman, Spider-Man did his best to hold Venom back.
"Mr. Osborn, don't worry sir I'll-"Spider-Man
"I'll break your soul"Venom tells his father.
"No, don't damage him."Norman steps inbetween Spider-Man and Venom"He's my son."
Spider-man froze up as well you, hearing the fact Norman knew that Harry was Venom. You and Spider-Man exchange glaces
"Harry it doesn't have to be there"Norman talks calmly to his son"Together we ca-ahhh"Venom attacks him with no care at all, as he flings him far across the room, Spider-Man was able to use his webs to redirect Venom before he threw him to far. Norman was instead thrown into one of his large containers.
"I know your in there Harry, stop hurting your dad"Spider-Man yells at his friend trying to get through to him. Thought it was cut short by the appearance of the others. Iron Fist, Power Man, White Tiger and Nova.
"Where coming for you Venom"White Tiger tells Venom.
Venom gives a screeching loud roar, as he starts on the attack. Nova comes in and flys into him from behind knocking to Iron Fist who charges up his chi and hits him knocking him into a large container.
"Geez what took you guys?"Spider-Man says sarcastically.
"Surprised we made out of your little prank so soon?"White Tiger shoots back at him.
"Forget it Tiger, we need to deal with this now."Power Man tells her, as he brings her back to focus on the mission at hand.
"No problem"Nova tells him, as he fires up and shoots a blast of energy at Venom, causing Venom pain.
"Whoa take it easy"Spider-Man tells him as he webs Nova's arms and point his blast elsewhere.
"What are you doing we got our orders?"Nova demanded an explanation from the Web head.
"I told you I can handle this, and no one has to get hurt"Spider-Man tells him."Uh-oh"he moves as Venom attack him. Spider-Man dodges, you come in and use your telekinesis to block Venom's attacks on Spider-Man.
"To late for that"Power Man tells Spider-Man. He goes and attacks Venom throwing him around then throws him at Iron Fist"Iron Fist over to you!"
Iron Fist gets ready"Ready!"just as Iron Fist goes to strike, Spider-Man comes and intercepts his attack. Pushing Iron Fist away.
"Sorry about that, had to be done."Spider-Man tells him.
Nova being irritated by Spider-Man's attempts to protect Venom goes over to him, in his face"What is your damage?Are you with us or against us?"
"Hey you forget there is someone inside that suit"Spider-Man tells him."You guys are clearly out for blood, it doesn't have to be this way."
"Afraid it does dork"White Tiger tells him"Who was lost in there is long gone. Time for my SHIELD issue tiger claws"she takes out a metal state of the arch tiger claw glove.
"I'm telling you, he's still in there"Spider-Man tries to pled with him.
Venom goes in again for the attack"Who every it is, we got out orders. Take him!"Power Man tells everyone, the rest of the gang goes in for the attack on Venom. While Spider-Man stood on the side lines.
"Tiger what are you doing!"Spider-Man protest.
"Our job!"Nova tells him as he blast Venom.
Not wanting your friends hurt, you go to help them but with less force. Venom then crashes through the floor.
"No!"Spider-Man looks at the happened.
"Where's Venom?"Power Man looks down the hole.
"You let him get away?"Spider-Man comes over asking the team.
"I can sense him...he has fled. But I don't know where he is."you tell him.
"Not exactly. I got a sample"White Tiger shows everyone the sample of Venom that was in her claw.
"Wh-what's going on here?"Norman comes"What are you-all of you doing in my lab?"he demands"Who asked any of you to interfere like this? You need to leave right now!"he looks at Spider-Man"That means you too."
Wasting no time and not wanting to anger Norman any more, you guys leave. Making your way to Midtown High. It was nighttime the clouds gathered as thunder and lighting started along with rain. The team makes it to the science room. Just the six of you. Everyone wanted to know what Spider-Man knew. While they talked you used your telepathy to search for Venom. Spider-Man finally admitted to Harry being Venom. Once he told everyone. No one was surprised nor upset. You could feel the relief that was lifted off Spider-Man's chest.
"Secrets are not a good burden to bare alone"you tell him, everyone looks at you"They are the worst, it allows you not trust in not just others but also yourself."
Everyone grew quiet, you walk over to Spider-Man you stand firmly infront of him, he couldn't really look at grab him by his jaw and make him look at you."Trust. We're all family here. You're family too. Don't feel alone, it's cold to be alone. And empty. No more secrets."you tell him firmly.
"Ok"he tells you straight out"No more"
You smile at him. He returns it under his mask. With that, Spider-Man told the others he could make an anti-vemon, if the others could be the look out for him. You went with him and assisted him with his work while the others went to look for the creature.
Though science was not your strong point you still where able to help out Spider-Man. Getting him the things he needed. You watched him as he worked. It was quiet with you both, though mainly with Spider-Man, he was focusing on what he need to do. He couldn't help but have you cross his mind a few times, you stood over his shoulder as started to finish up.
"You're very smart. Be proud"you tell him.
He blushes under his mask"Th-thanks"he tells you"And done"he tells you.
"Wonderful!"you hug him proudly. He stumbles but regains himself."Let's go."
You both hurry to the others, coming out. You find that Venom was here, seeing your friends injured"Spider-Man!"Venom calls to him, as he lunges at the wall crawler.
Spider-Man pushes you out of the way"You want me come and get me"he taunts Venom as he runs down the hall. Venom follows in hot pursuit, you wanted to follow but instead you go and help as well heal the others. You heal them as quickly as you could, at the sametime worrying about Spider-Man, you could sense him in battle with Venom, it was intense. Once you finished up with Power Man last, you fly yourself up while phasing through the building, to get to Spider-Man. It was raining hard, as you heard the rain drops pounding on the ceiling. You see Spider-Man engaging in the battle with Venom.
"Spider-Man!"you go kick Venom back away from him. You had a barge of kicks one after the other as you defend. Growing with the world's top spy was showing. You where able to hold Venom on a one on one, along with your strength you knocked him back. But that did not stop Venom he comes back more aggressively as he charges at you and Spider-Man. You both manged to dodge, but Venom was quick, using the goo on him. He unleashes it as it grabs hold of your ankle and slams you down, the goo then wraps around you. As it tries to suffocate you. You use your telekinesis to expand its hold on you, as you break through. Gasping for air, only for Venom to attack you.
"Gotcha!"Nova comes just in time to save you from his attack. He places you down.
"Thank you"you thank him, you both go back into the fight. While Spider-Man took the high ground as he searched the anti-venom. He found it, once he did Venom went after him. Luckily Spider-Man was able to dodge him, lighting hit Venom as he fell to the ground. Which caused the symbolist to weaken, Harry came through as he tried to fight it off.
But Venom overpowered him"Nova now!"Power Man tells him.
Nova takes a shot at Venom weakling him, Spider-Man goes in and injects the anti-venom into Venom. Venom throws him off, but you catch him just fine. Everyone watches, in just a few seconds Venom melted away destroyed. And Harry was left, Spider-Man gets up from your grasp and goes to his best friend.
You watch this touching scene. With the rain coming down, no one could tell if you where shedding tears or not.
After the Venom battle, things went back to normal. Back on the carrier, the others where training but put Spider-Man through a surprised training they had planned for him. While you where in meeting room looking at picture of your mother
"Oh, hello Peter"you greet him.
"Hey. Didn't see you in training?"he tells you as he touched his head but flinches due to the pain on his head from the training.
"I know. I had this to do. Here you."you get up as you place your hands on his head as you start to heal it.
"Thanks"he tells you.
"You're welcome."you start to hum to yourself.
Peter looks at you with a mild smile"How is Harry doing?"
"He's fine"
"That's good to hear, I'm glad. You did a good thing Peter. You're a wonderful person."
"...Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome. Peter, should a person be upset at a secret someone and you know they did keep from you because you have a feeling. Should you be upset at them, if they never told you. But they had a reason too?"
He gives you a questionable look as he tries to think about."Well, after what happen. I believe you shouldn't be upset at them. Because they did to protect you. And if they're not here anymore. You shouldn't be."he tells you.
You listen to his words"..."you smile"You're all done"you take your hands from his head. But he grabs hold of them, firmly. You look at him.
"Kylie...look I'm sorry if I keep...well...I'm just sorry. I know I kept saying sorry a great deal to you. And soon it will start to get old. It is to me. But I just want you to know that. I...don't ever want to hurt you. It's not right at all. You're to nice of a person to be put through that. And you risk yourself no matter what I do. Even when you're upset at me. You still stick by me."you listen to his honest words."What I'm saying...I mean...you're really...I mean...look if...I...you make better...I"he trips over his words.
You couldn't help but not laugh to yourself"You are very welcome Peter. I cherish you too. And I'm glad I can count on you."you give him a hug. Which he takes, then give him a friendly kiss on his cheek. Patting his chest affectionately, and leave him be.
He touches the side of his face where you kissed him. He kept his hand there, as he smiles to himself.
