"Boss, Osborn is dirty." Eddie said as he was in J. J. Jameson's office in Daily Bugle.
"Who's your source, Brock?" Jameson asked.
"I… I had a hunch." Eddie lied.
"We don't follow hunches. We follow facts. Substantiated evidence. For a smart guy, you are a dumbass." Jameson said.
"And I saw Spider-Man trying to help with—"
"Back up. Back up. Spider-Man was there with those mutated freaks?" Jameson interrupted.
"Yeah." Eddie confirmed and Jameson laughed.
"Of course! You should have led with that! That's what I need to bring down the wallcrawler! 'Spider-Man leading an army of monsters that is loose in OsCorp!'." Jameson gestured with his hands. "That's going to be our headline!"
"Jameson, that's not fair. There's no substantiated proof that Spider-Man did this." Mary Jane protested.
"Proof? Eddie says Spider-Man led those freaks and he has pictures!" Jameson turned to Eddie. "You have photos of Spider-Man leading those monsters, do you?"
"Well, yeah but he wasn't actually leading—"
"That's what we're going to write in the news tonight!" Jameson clapped his hands.
"Sir, I never said that Spider-Man helped these monsters, he was trying to stop them." Eddie said.
"Oh, please, it's an act, always an act. The moment we lower our guard, he's gonna endanger civilians! The world needs to see him as the threat that he is!" Jameson said.
"Jonah—"
"Watson, if you say something in Spider-Man's defense, you can clean up your desk." Jameson said before Mary Jane could say something as both of them left.
"Thanks, Eddie." Mary Jane said sarcastically. "Did you really have to bring up Spider-Man? Now he's gonna find a way to pin it on him, again."
"Mary Jane, come on, I mean, it's not like the entire city is gonna believe whatever BS story is Jameson gonna cook up. But listen, something fishy is going on in OsCorp, I know it." Eddie said.
"Experiments on people and monsters? I mean, even if I did believe you, no one is going to listen to you without solid proof. Besides, if it really is OsCorp, you really think that they'll let you run the story? You need to think about what you're doing before you get yourself and everyone around hurt. All I'm saying is that you need to be careful, Eddie, OK?" Mary Jane pleaded.
Eddie sighed. "You may be right."
OsCorp
"Begin test 57, now." Norman ordered.
The doctor did as ordered as she remotely opened the tube with symbiote, while it was nearing the woman on the stretcher, attached to a respirator. "She has Stage 4 cancer. Sir, do we have her consent?"
"As far as the world is concerned, she is now in the hospital morgue." Norman said as the symbiote began to bond with the woman, who was spasming until she and the symbiote became one.
"Vitals are steady. Tumors are disappearing." The doctor said. Suddenly, the patient spasmed violently as the vitals were going critical. Next thing they knew, the woman was drained into a husk within few seconds.
"Another failure. Bring up another volunteer." Norman ordered.
New York
All Peter remembered was being tired and going to sleep as he was on bed, still in his Spider-Man suit. Suddenly, onto him was being attached some black goo that was covering him entirely.
When Peter came to, he found himself hanging from above, seeing the reflection of black suit on himself in the window, confused what was going on. "What is this?" He looked at his arms. "I feel… wow… feels good."
Spider-Man jumped and started to swing around and much to his surprise, he felt stronger and faster than ever as he cheered. "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" He then stuck onto a wall, examining the suit. "This is something else."
A group of bank robbers were driving away from the police before Spider-Man jumped down and ripped off the roof with his bare hands.
"I didn't know the prom was happening!" Spider-Man quipped. "A private party or can I join?" One of the robbers shot Spider-Man as it grazed him in the arm but healed instantly. "Well, that's a new one."
Next thing the robbers knew, they were webbed up and hanging on the street lamps. Much to Peter's surprise, he didn't need web-shooters anymore, all he needed was to think about it and the suit webbed the thugs up for itself. Peter felt amazed by what kind of a suit his father had created and it felt better due how expensive and how much hard work it was to create his web liquid for web-shooters.
Juggernaut was running off with bags of cash, knocking down police cars before he faced Spider-Man again.
"You!" Juggernaut snarled.
"Hey, Juggy, how many times do we have to do this dance again?" Spider-Man quipped.
Juggernaut rushed at Spider-Man, who dodged before flipping Juggernaut to the ground. Much to Spider-Man's surprise, he was becoming stronger and faster than before as he ripped Juggernaut's mask off and pummeled him repeatedly. Usually, Juggernaut would withstand it but he ended up bruised and bloodied.
"How do you like that?" Spider-Man quipped.
Then, he heard the screams and gasps as the people around stared in shock at Spider-Man brutalizing Juggernaut. For a moment, Spider-Man's jaw opened into monstrous size until he stopped and looked around, seeing their shocked faces and turned normal.
"Oh, my God…" Mary Jane whispered.
Spider-Man looked into her eyes, in fact, in eyes of everyone, who was staring at him like a monster, and then at his hands as he realized that the suit was corrupting him.
Peter's house
Back at home, Peter took off the suit and it turned into some kind of a goo. Not hesitating, Peter locked it into some airtight box to make sure it would not get off. Well, it somehow destroyed Peter's suit. He sighed, since the other suit was still incomplete, so he needed to do this a little differently.
OsCorp
Wearing a hoodie and a bandana, Peter snuck into OsCorp, looking for more clues about this… Venom. Peter got into a restricted area, hoping he would find his father's notes about Venom. He entered the archives, while sneaking past the guards and cameras undetected. He hid around a corner and waited for the guards to leave but suddenly, someone ripped off his hoodie.
Peter whirled around and he and the other woman gasped at seeing each other. "Pete?"
"Gwen?"
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?" Peter and Gwen asked in unison.
"I should be asking you that, you're not allowed to be here late at night and how did you get past security? The labs are for staff only!" Gwen demanded.
"It's complicated, OK?" Peter said. "Listen, whatever Osborn is working on, it's something dangerous, OK? He's got a symbiote hidden here and it's dangerous."
"Symbiote?" Gwen interrupted. "Slow down, what are you talking about?"
Peter took a breath, telling her everything he knew about his father and Venom but left out obviously the part that he was Spider-Man. "Oh, my God…" Gwen whispered, once Peter was finished. "We've gotten an odd number of volunteers and dead bodies lately but I've never thought—"
"Look, I'm just looking for some evidence, OK? Anything that's going to help me get to the bottom of it." Peter said.
Gwen considered before leading Peter into an office. "Stay here. Don't touch anything. I'll see what I can find."
Eddie had snuck in through the vents as he was in a lab area and then he saw some cells, where on the walls and floor was some kind of a goo that was covering the cells. In one cell was a corpse, with black veins and the goo coming out from its mouth and eyes as Eddie was taking pictures. In another one, Eddie found a woman curled to a ball, muttering to herself before she got up, banging glass.
"Let me out! Let me out! Help me!"
Eddie panicked, looking around. "I don't know how!"
"Help!"
Eddie found a fire extinguisher and banged the glass as it was smashed but the woman lunged at Eddie, pinning him down, screaming before she collapsed, dead. "Holy shit…" Eddie whispered.
Suddenly, an alarm blared. "Security breach! Security breach!"
Gwen was going to the archives and she did look up Venom and what she found, surprised her. Richard Parker was mentioned in the files, making her wonder, what did Peter know. She plugged in a flash drive and started to copy the files until an alarm blared.
Gwen pulled out the flash drive and ran out before she saw a man she had not seen before, running opposite of her direction. Gwen was sure she had not seen him before. "Hey! This is a restricted area! How did you—"
"Get back here!" One of the guards shouted, while chasing Eddie.
Before Gwen could do something, much to her shock, and to Eddie's, he jumped onto the ceiling and then jumped off, running at inhuman speed.
"What the hell?" Gwen stared as Eddie ran at the door so hard, they burst out from the hinges.
Next thing she knew, some people, snarling ferociously, ran down the corridors, attacking the guards, like in some zombie movie as Gwen screamed, when one of the monsters was about to lunge at her before it was webbed to the ground.
Spider-Man dodged, when another monster attacked him and he webbed it to the wall. More monsters attacked but Spider-Man fired web bullets, dazing them before turning to Gwen. "Come with me, if you wanna live!"
Gwen didn't need to be told twice as she held onto Spider-Man and he swung out from the labs and out into the city. As they went out, they landed on a rooftop as Spider-Man looked at her.
"You OK?" Spider-Man asked.
Gwen panted out, nodding before realizing she knew the voice, staring in disbelief. "Pete? Pete, is that you?"
Spider-Man sighed, knowing she had him. "I guess I've got some explaining to do."
In his office, Norman Osborn was observing the footage as he saw Spider-Man in black suit in New York and Peter Parker sneaking into OsCorp, alongside Eddie Brock and then the havoc with the guards, narrowing his eyes.
"Peter Parker is Spider-Man… I see you've come to find out what your father has done… what do you know?" Norman pulled out his phone, dialing a number. "I have a task for you. Two targets. Seek and capture. Alive. I don't care which one of them, just bring me one of them. Peter Benjamin Parker. The other one is Spider-Man. Triple your usual fee."
"I accept." The woman said, looking into the mirror to reveal long silver hair as she opened the case to reveal a silver suit.
Eddie ran from the soldiers into the woods and much to his surprise, he was stronger and faster than ever. He jumped on the trees, hiding as the soldiers looked around.
When Eddie returned home, somehow, he felt sick. Insatiable hunger and thirst. Eddie ripped open a pack of chips and shoved handfuls of them into his mouth. He also found leftovers of a chicken in trash bags as he ate them in inhuman bites before he felt sick and vomited into the toilet. "What the hell is happening to me?"
Eddie looked into the mirror and tried to wash his face in the sink before looking into the mirror and saw that his eyes had turned pitch black and he heard a voice that seemed to be coming from inside his head.
"Hello, Eddie."
Eddie screamed, thinking he was losing his mind as he looked around. "Who… who said that?" Suddenly, he spasmed and shook violently as he was being covered in some black goo.
As for MJ working in Bugle, that is based on Spider-Man 2018 video game, that I finally got to play at least a small part, since I myself do not have PS4 but I watched the playthrough clips from the video game.
The story is going to be a mix of Venom film, Amazing Spider-Man video game, Spider-Man 2018 video game and Ultimate Spider-Man, both comic books and video game, in case you're wondering what to expect. No comment on Spider-Man 3. I used just some small parts of it here, since don't get me started on how the film was mishandled, although, the Bad Petey dance would be hilarious to see here * chuckles *
Who Norman called, will be revealed in the next chapter and all I will reveal that it's Marvel's comic book mercenary, who has crossed paths with Spider-Man a few times and I've given a hint about who it is.
So, what do you guys think?
